Guo Xiu looked at the savior under the torch with excited eyes.
"Chen, brother Chen." Guo Xiangshen said excitedly, stood up and ran to Chen Ku: "Brother Chen, you have really come to save us."
But Chen Ku looked at the gray snake on the ground with a "complex" expression.
"He can't be dead, right? I've never killed anyone before. Now..."
Guo Xiangshen looked at the body of the gray snake.
"What do you mean, maybe he's not dead?!!"
Squire Guo heard this.
Fearful and resentful, he directly picked up the fork in his hand:
"He must die! I will kill this beast!"
As the fork was inserted into the back of the gray snake, blood gurgled out.
"My family has been hollowed out by this beast! I'll stab him to death! That's all my family's food, it's just gone!"
puff! puff! puff! puff!
"You idiot, you still want to touch my daughter and steal my money, go to hell, go to hell, go to hell!!"
Puff puff puff!
With great resentment, Guo Xiangshen penetrated him more than ten times in a row. He was panting heavily from exhaustion and sweating on his forehead, and then he stopped.
He turned to look at his son and daughter who were so frightened that they covered their mouths.
He gasped and ignored it.
He just looked at Chen Ku and begged:
"This kind of bitch deserves to die. No matter how many people die tonight, the government will not blame us for a word. Brother Chen Ku, don't worry, as long as you can protect Guo's family tonight." It’s safe, I’m willing to give you fifteen acres of land! What’s more, saving our family’s lives is the most important thing!”
Fifteen acres...
Chen Ku was just pretending, pretending that it was his first time to kill someone, and he was scared. He didn't expect that the other party was so sensible. In order to dispel his anxiety about killing, whether it was to vent his anger or something, he actually stabbed Gray Snake for more than a dozen times. Not to mention, I am willing to give him five more acres of land.
In this case, there is nothing to worry about.
Chen Ku nodded solemnly:
"I'll escort you out of the village first."
Next, there is Chen Ku's escort. Even if there are refugees who want to pounce on him during this period, how can they get close to Chen Ku.
In this way, amidst the constant fright, Chen Ku was escorted.
The seven members of the Guo family, who were originally in a dilemma, finally escaped from Zhuangzi, which was like a hell filled with homeless ghosts.
But not long after Guo Xiangshen and his family escaped.
"Ah! Beast, beast!!"
In the distance, Squire Guo watched as the refugees not only snatched all the food from their home, but also set a fire and burned down their village.
It was all made of good wood, and it took a year.
"Beasts, a bunch of beasts, all of them will not die well! They will go to the hell of Daoshan if they die!"
Guo Xiangshen's eyes were bloodshot and he was trembling all over.
It was his daughter who supported him in time and comforted him in a low voice with tears in her eyes: "Dad, it's good that our family is fine. Didn't you also say that as long as a person lives, food and house are all things outside the body."
Mr. Guo Xiangshen shed tears and said so, but he didn't expect that these beasts would even burn down his house.
Chen Ku looked at the Guo family house that was on fire.
It is estimated that the people who died tonight were all reduced to coke in this fire, so no matter how they died, it was too chaotic, more than one or two died, all of them were grabbing food...
but.
Most likely, after tonight, everything will be over.
Without the people behind the scenes, the one or two hundred people were just a mess. After grabbing so many things, after the birds and beasts dispersed, they should not launch a second looting of Dachen Village in a short period of time.
This makes him feel more at ease with his family after entering the county town.
…………
Squire Guo's house is indeed made of good wood.
A fire burned for a whole night, burning half of the village red, and it was not extinguished until dawn.
And at dawn.
There are no refugees left in the village. I don’t know where they have gone.
Only the Dachen villagers who survived the disaster last night were left hiding at home or in some cave dwellings or shabby haystacks.
Chen Ku returned to the cave dwelling long ago and took his family back to the house.
"Damn it, the salt is gone, the bedding is gone..." My sister-in-law looked at the tragic situation at home and cried: "These are the beheaders."
But Mother Chen was listening to the cries of every household in the village, as well as the sound of many firecrackers. Setting off firecrackers at this time was to notify others...
If someone is dead, please ask the young and old in the village to help.
Mother Chen heard the sound of firecrackers from seven or eight houses in a row.
Looking at my own home, there were only no salt shakers and a few quilts. I closed my eyes and said to my daughter-in-law: "Don't cry. Our family is lucky enough. There is basically no loss. Guo Xiangshen's house was burned down." Well, other people even died, isn’t it worse than ours?”
My sister-in-law stopped crying when she heard this and went to the kitchen to cook in silence.
Tick tock.
Chen Ku stood in the yard and felt his face moist.
Wow!
Immediately, heavy rain fell.
As he expected.
It rained at dawn, and now the traces of Xieshuiliang were almost gone.
And this autumn heavy rain drenched the ruins of Guo Squire's house and extinguished the last ashes and white smoke, making Guo Squire want to cry without tears...
If it rains sooner, maybe his house can be saved.
"Dad, what should we do now?" Guo Wennum looked at the ruins blankly.
Mr. Guo dug out a big box hidden in the ruins, exhaled, and said, "Xiu'er, go and give this 15-mu land deed to your brother Chen Ku to thank him for saving our family last night."
"15 mu, Dad... It's too much." Guo Wen felt distressed. Their family only had about 100 mu of land in total, and they gave so much at once.
Guo Xiu had no objection, nodded and obeyed, and gave the land deed to Chen Ku.
Watching his daughter leave.
Squire Guo turned around and scolded his son: "You are stupid, you can only see what is in front of your eyes. Let me ask you, is the whole village robbed this time?"
Guo Wen scratched his head: "So what?"
Squire Guo sneered: "There are so many long-term workers in our family, and they can't protect the grain. Other people in the village can protect it. About half of the families have been robbed. In two days, it will be the autumn tax. If there is no grain to pay the tax, then we have to sell the land. So, your father will give out 15 acres of land today, and in two days, I can turn it back to 30 acres, 50 acres of land. Do you believe it!"
Guo Wen's eyes lit up: "Dad, you are really good!"
Squire Guo said coldly: "Otherwise, how do you think our family got these 100 acres of land? Now, I will give you one thing. Take this silver, go to the county to buy grain, bring more people to protect it, and then use this grain to buy land from the villagers."
Guo Wen nodded heavily: "Dad, I understand!"
Watching his son was about to leave
Mr. Guo held out his hand again and called him, "After buying the grain, send a cart to Chen Ku's family. That's the tax for the fifteen acres of land he paid."
Guo Wen frowned and shouted, "Dad, you..."
Mr. Guo shouted, "You know nothing, just do what I say."
Uniting the strong and devouring the weak is the way to survive.
Here.
Chen Ku also received the fifteen acres of land deeds sent by Guo Xiu. When he saw the little girl leaving, he looked back every few steps. Most likely, the scene last night left an impression on him.
It's a pity that living in the countryside with a wife and children is not his dream. It is destined to be a fate.
Looking at the fifteen acres of land deeds in his hand, they are all the best paddy fields and wheat fields in the village.
Look at the disaster situation in the village again.
I guessed that this looting caused Mr. Guo to suffer great losses, but it also gave him the opportunity to annex land. After all, only food and houses were burned last night, and his other property was not lost...
Looking at this easily acquired land, plus the land at home, he is now a landlord with more than 20 acres of land, and in the future, as his income increases, his family will probably have more land...
"I didn't expect that I would finally become a landlord."
