Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-Six Heaven and Earth Are Big But No Home
But if they don’t live in the village, where should they be placed?
Chen Gaozhuang was really sad.
I used to roll cigarettes with grass leaves pulled casually from the roadside. Although smoking was bitter, it never felt as painful as before.
Subconsciously, I took out the cigarette from my mouth and looked at the leaves.
That's right. It's winter right now. In their land, there are only half-yellow and half-green leaves that can be used. I just smoked them yesterday, right?
Why is it so hard today?
Chen Gaozhuang sighed, stuffed the cigarette into his mouth, and puffed away at the cigarette. His eyes were looking ahead, at the barren wasteland on the right side outside the village...
Speaking of Qunlanggou, to put it bluntly, this is a poor mountain ravine. Because there are mountains and trees, there is water here;
And because of the water source, there is life here, which attracts yellow sheep, rabbits and other wild animals. It also attracts wolves to settle here.
Later, with the outbreak of war and the change of the landscape, people discovered this place and began to settle here.
Trees were cut down;
The animals either escaped or became dinner;
As for those wolves, although they are evil, they are not as evil as humans in the end. They either run away when faced with threats to their survival, or they end up becoming meat in humans' pots and quilts on their beds.
Then, after generations of residents, the land in Qunlanggou gradually became barren because the mountains and forests above the ditch were not protected. In addition, wars broke out again, and people began to migrate.
Later, if the new dynasty had not come, they escaped from other places and found that Qunlanggou was still a place to live and work in peace and contentment, so they settled here. After decades of recuperation, they would not be able to restore Qunlanggou to what it is today.
What does it look like?
Even so, the people in their village still build houses along both sides of the ditch at the foot of the mountain, because the well is at the bottom of the ditch, which is the deepest and lowest place in the village today.
Outside the ditch, on the right side of the brown-yellow mountain wall, the former meadow has now become a barren wasteland. Because of years of farming without nourishing the land, it has long been desertified and barren. Today, the early famine there is severe and no food can be produced.
, the village was built in Qunlanggou, but it is still deserted.
It just so happened that the place that no one liked was given to the family in front of me.
No matter whether they are building a house or farming, let alone his stinginess, the boss has a large land of six or seven acres, so the family can do whatever they want.
Having thought of a good idea, the director pointed directly to the deserted beach on the right.
"Xiao Wenye, right? Have you seen that place? You leave the village and walk a hundred feet to the right along the small canal at the entrance of the village. There is probably six or seven acres of good land over there. Now it has been allocated to your family. Go quickly.
Come on, clean up and settle down, I won’t keep you any longer.”
Xiao Wenye, who was completely unaware of the situation, what else could he do when faced with the arrangements of his parents?
As a criminal who is still unfamiliar with the place, he can only respond first and see the place before making any calculations.
The busy one responded, "Okay, okay, thank you, Chief, for your trouble. I'll wait until our family has finished cleaning up, and then I'll invite you to have a drink, Chief."
"Go and have a good life, there's no need to drink or anything like that." Just kidding, he doesn't seem to be a sinner in his family, he is a good citizen, really!
Xiao Wenye doesn't know how to look at people's faces. When he saw the attitude of Chief Chen, he smiled and thanked him, greeted his family, and walked out of the gate of the chief's courtyard. The moment he turned around, his expression dropped.
Li Yurong beside her looked worried, "Husband?".
"I'm fine, Rong Niang, I just have to make you and the children suffer and suffer with me from now on...".
Xiao Wenye felt something in his heart. Judging from the mayor's unwillingness to have a close relationship with him just now, he could tell that their family's life here might not be very good in the future.
But when we finally arrived at the place arranged by the liangzhang, we looked at the desolate area in front of us. Xiao Wenye never expected that the situation could be so bad.
Moreover, what Xiao Wenye and the others had not expected was that the village chief was actually a talented person. Not only did he arrange a poor place for them, but he also set up unprecedented huge obstacles for their family to integrate into the village in the future.
.
When they were driven away from the ravine, away from the village crowds, to settle in the wasteland, old man Chen Gaozhuang had already summoned all the heads of the seventeen households in the village, and held an emergency meeting to tell them who the five members of the Xiao family were.
The criminals were exiled here, and they were evil people. They didn't even mention it, but they even maliciously warned everyone that they must be alert and keep an eye on their family of five at all times. They must not let them
He ran away, but it was made clear that he could not have more contact with them.
Just say that at the moment, Xiao Wenye is pushing the wheelbarrow, Li Yurong and Xiao Yulou are helping to hold it carefully, Xiao Yuyang is holding the sister who is looking around behind, and the family is leaving the village in the ditch and heading towards the other side of the village.
, walking in a remote place that looked extremely barren, with even thorns and weeds growing sparsely.
When he finally arrived at the place, Xiao Yuqi stopped, stood and ran up the small brown soil slope, avoiding the thorny thorn bushes above, and leaned forward to look at the village about 300 meters away from his home.
, Xiao Yuqi was shocked when he glanced at the bare land with no nutrients except thorns.
This place is the future home for her, her mother, her father and her brothers?
However, the sky is huge and the earth is huge, but I can’t see the house? Where is the promised home?
Good guy, I'm so poor that I don't even have any wood! It's worse than the garbage star den I lived in in my previous life!
"Dad, mother? Here...".
Xiao Yulou looked at the vast wasteland, where there was not even a hut. Looking at the setting sun, feeling the biting and howling cold wind, he shivered from the inside out.
God! How can we live like this?
After Xiao Wenye and Li Yurong arrived at the place, they let go of the wheelbarrow and looked at the barren land. They were also shocked by what they saw.
Previously, Xiao Wenye felt that if Chief Chen looked down on them and made things difficult for them, he would have to arrange a thatched shed for them, right?
Otherwise, in such a cold winter, wouldn't their whole family have to freeze to death?
Even if it doesn't freeze to death, there is quite a long distance between this place and the village in the ditch. There is no guarantee that there will be wolves at night.
They are walking into the mouth of a wolf! This is it!
