Chapter 113 Too Many Surprises
Li Lanzhen lowered her head a little ashamed, and when she looked up, she inadvertently saw Xue Lao Hu and Han Mingjiang standing behind her. They looked at the crops with serious expressions, and then at her.
Li Lanzhen turned around decisively and walked forward.
No matter what happens, as long as crops grow, it's a good thing.
Li Lanzhen said to the old village chief who was walking beside her, "Old village chief, please stop saying that I am a lucky star.
The crops growing in this valley have nothing to do with me."
Looking at Li Lanzhen, who had a blank expression and was obviously unhappy, the old village chief touched his nose and laughed.
A group of people came to the cave leading horses, cows and donkeys.
Along the way, Li Lanzhen told the village chief what was going on with these livestock.
And how she herself obtained this batch of supplies.
So, after arriving here, the old village chief raised his hand and signaled the crowd full of adults and children to quiet down.
Then he smiled and said to everyone, "Dear villagers of Hanjia Village, Lujia Village, and Liujia Village.
As you can see, these six horses were obtained when we fought a battle with King Jin’s soldiers when we escaped from Ankang City.
We walked out of the underground river and hid in the valley when we went down the mountain.
Xue the Hunter and Han Mingjiang brought them all back.
There was also a horse, a cow and two donkeys. They were a caravan of merchants that Li Lan met on his way back to the valley from Youzhou City.
The caravan leader's wife had a difficult time giving birth, and Lan Zhen helped. His wife gave birth to a big fat boy. The captain was very happy and gave Lan Zhen a cow, a horse, and two donkeys. "
After hearing this, the villagers all looked at Li Lanzhen and thought to themselves, the old village chief was right, she is the lucky star!
Otherwise, how could we have met a traveling caravan by such a coincidence?
Coincidentally, he met the caravan leader's wife who was having difficulty giving birth. He lent a hand to help, and she gave birth to a boy smoothly, and both mother and child were safe.
That’s why we have so many supplies. According to the old village chief, there are also food, winter clothes, bedding, and cotton.
The old village chief said that we could only see what other supplies we had by opening the sacks.
The old village chief continued, “This is what I think about the distribution of these livestock.
Back then on the mountain, if it weren't for Lan Zhen's family and Hunter Xue, I'm afraid there wouldn't be many of us left.
So, these horses, Lan Zhen, Xue Liehu, Zhang Deshui, Li Erhan, and Goudan, each of these five families has a horse.
This horse, a cow and two donkeys should all belong to Lan Zhen.
However, she was generous and only kept one cow, and gave the horse and two donkeys to the village for further distribution.
So, there were only two horses and two donkeys left. I thought I wouldn't distribute them, but just keep them in our village and find someone to take care of them, to plow the fields and pull crops and do other hard work, and we could use them together.
Does anyone have any opinions?"
All the villagers said in unison, "No objection!"
When the village chief was about to discuss how to distribute these supplies, Goudan stood up.
He puffed out his chest, clenched his fists, and looked up at the old village chief with a flushed face.
"Grandpa Village Chief, there are only my grandmother and I in my family, so we don't need a horse. I am not strong enough and my grandmother is old. If we have a donkey to plow the fields and pull the crops, my grandmother can save some energy. Let's leave the horse to the village.
We left the village to escape famine, and it was Grandma Lanzhen who took care of us all the time.
After we caught up with Hanjia Village, the village chief and the uncles, aunts, and aunts in the village all took good care of me and my grandmother, so I would like to thank everyone here!"
Then he bowed to everyone!
The old village chief listened to his words, his eyes slightly reddened, he raised his hand to touch his head, and kept nodding and praising him.
"Goudan, you are a good boy, thank you, OK, I'll do as you say!"
He raised his head and said to everyone, "Everyone has seen that Goudan, a six-year-old boy, knows how to be grateful and repay everyone. This is very good. I hope that the people who have fled to this valley will unite, love each other, and help each other. Winter is coming, and we will warm each other and get through this winter. When spring comes next year, our good life will come!"
After he finished speaking, Han Yinan immediately stretched out his two little hands and started clapping.
After he took the lead, there was a deafening sound of applause and shouts one after another in the valley.
"Got it, village chief, let's unite, warm and help each other, overcome difficulties and live a good life!"
Li Lanzhen was also moved by this warm scene!
She smiled and said to the village chief, "Old village chief, every time we notify something, we have to mention Hanjia Village, Lujia Village, and Liujia Village. This is really troublesome.
We came to the valley and found a paradise where we can live a peaceful life, so let's give this place a nice name. "
The old village chief clapped his hands and said, "Great! This is a good idea. Lan Zhen, what do you think is a good name?"
The words "forget worries" immediately appeared in Li Lanzhen's mind.
Speak up, "Old village chief, let's call it 'Forget Worry Valley'."
The old village chief lowered his head in thought, then laughed out loud, "Forget your worries, forget your worries! Very good, forget your sorrows and embrace hope!
"Okay, let's call this place Forget-Sorrow Valley. From now on, when I notify everyone, I won't have to go through so much trouble. I can just shout, 'Villagers of Forget-Sorrow Valley, hahahaha!"
Everyone happily whispered to each other, expressing their own thoughts:
"Forget Worry Valley, Forget Worry Village, this name is so nice. When I hear this name, I have no worries!"
From then on, they lived in Forget-Your-Trouble Valley, happy and peaceful!
While they were talking, Xue Lao Hu and Han Shunde called over a few men from the escort team and asked them to take all the supplies off the horses and donkeys, put them on the ground and gathered them together.
And opening the sacks, they laid the grain in a heap, and the cotton, and the bedding, and so much coarse cloth.
When they saw so many farm tools, they were surprised and happy.
Li Erhan squatted on the ground and watched the curved plow excitedly. He grabbed the handle of the curved plow and shook it left and right.
He smiled and shouted, "My girl, this is a plowing tool!"
Li Lanzhen walked over and held the curved plow with her hand.
"Dad, you have very good eyesight. This is a plowing tool. You can see that a donkey or an ox can be harnessed in front to pull the plow, and a person can hold the handle in the back. This iron tool, which is like a knife, will dig deep into the soil. It is not afraid of hard soil and can plow the soil quickly and effectively."
Seeing the villagers gathered around to listen, she explained, "I heard from the captain of the caravan that this guy is called Quyuanli."
"Curved plow?! Great, really great!"
They are all good farmers and are particularly interested in this tool that helps them plow the land. They became even happier after hearing Li Lanzhen's introduction.
"Dad, see if you can make a few more like this!"
Li Erhan took a look and said, "Yes, but I'm afraid we can't remove the iron blade underneath."
Li Lanzhen said, "Leave it to me. I'll think of a solution."
The old village chief was grinning from ear to ear.
"Lan Zhen, it's okay. It doesn't matter if we can't do it. We can harness the cattle and horses and soon open up a piece of land. Besides, the land in this valley is relatively soft. It will be easy to open up the land after we clear the weeds on it."
Han Shunde walked over and said, "Dad, let's go check out the supplies. There are so many, all kinds of things."
After the old village chief finished counting the supplies, he called the village chiefs of Lujia Village and Liujia Village to discuss the matter together.
The two village chiefs waved their hands and said to the old village chief, "Lao Ge, let me discuss something with you, since this place is already called Wangyou.
You should be the village chief of Wangyou Valley. It is easier to get things done if you listen to one person. We cannot have one person saying his thing and the other saying yours, without unity."
Everyone around heard what they said.
Li Lanzhen paid special attention to the villagers from Lujia Village and Liujia Village in the crowd.
Unexpectedly, Li Lanzhen did not notice that they were dissatisfied. They all grinned happily and kept saying, "Of course, of course. We will all listen to the old village chief."
In this way, before the supplies were distributed, the village chief of Wangyou Valley was decided.
The old village chief was also unambiguous. At this moment, he stood up straight, his face was flushed, and he waved his hand and said, "On the way to escape famine, there were waves of natural disasters and man-made disasters. I feel like I am an old man and I will not live to Youzhou.
So he gave the position of village chief of Hanjia Village to his eldest son.
Now, since people from the three villages want me to continue serving them.
Then, I, an old fellow, will continue to make use of my remaining energy to serve you for two years. When the Wangyou Grain warehouse is full of grain and the cattle and sheep are in herds, you can elect a new village chief. "
As soon as he finished speaking, there was another round of thunderous applause.
After the old village chief finished speaking, he turned and looked at his eldest son Han Shunde who was standing next to him.
Han Shunde smiled and nodded, "Dad, you are right. You have more appeal than me, and you have experienced more things. You have a plan for dealing with things. You should continue to manage us."
