Chapter 55 Fighting
Shui Ling immediately stood up and ran over. This group of people formed a team to go downstream to explore the map. Now they all ran back with pale faces and didn't know what they met.
The patriarch heard the sound and got up and walked out of the cave. He frowned and asked, "What are you shouting for?"
The leader was a tall and thin man. He said: "There are snakes over there. There are many big snakes. We can't go downstream to open up wasteland."
Someone echoed this statement, "The land we went to yesterday was very flat and there were many rabbits. We can farm. Let's go there."
Some timidly shook their heads and said, "If you don't go, I want the land in front of my house."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone immediately started to quarrel, all trying to grab the flat land in front of their house.
There are a total of more than 100 acres of land extending from the river to the bushes. If one person has two acres, more than 100 people will have more than 200 acres of land, so it is not enough to allocate.
Wei Chenglin couldn't help but step out when he heard the commotion outside and shouted: "Don't make any noise, the land will be divided by the clan chiefs. First you have to divide the land into good families, and then divide it according to the head of the family."
He paused and continued, "The land of helpless people over fifty-five years old cannot be farmed by themselves and returned to the village. The village chief organizes the planting. After harvesting, half of the land goes to the village and distributed to the workers, and the other half goes to themselves."
This remark aroused discussion, and the clan leader said: "Let's do this. The family will be divided today, and the common food will be distributed per head. From now on, the food you find will be yours, and you don't have to pay it to the public."
Some women were very happy because during this period they had set up a good spot to dig wild vegetables and were waiting for them to grow.
The clan leader asked them to discuss it themselves, and then took Wei Chenglin to drink.
The separation of the families could not be finalized, so Wei Chenglin took his people back.
Shui Ling looked at the land at the door. In fact, she really wanted it. Not only was it flat, but it was also close to the water source, which would be great.
The matter of splitting up the family had been agitated and had not been settled, so Shuiling simply went to the hot spring to check the water source.
The snow within a kilometer radius of the hot spring has melted away, and the grass has begun to turn green. If the stones and some single saplings here are cut down, twenty acres of land can be leveled.
It's just that this is a place for wild animals to drink water. If you farm the land, you will definitely not be able to keep it.
She was sitting by the water in a daze when Si Shanguan's voice came, "Girl?"
"Ah? I'm here." Shui Ling responded in her heart.
"Why don't you use it if you have merit?" Si Shanguan was curious.
Shui Ling thought for a while and said: "I don't have anything I particularly want at the moment. I will wait until I have something I particularly want before I go to the lottery. That way I have a higher chance of getting it."
"Okay, can you draw once first? I'm just one hundred merit points away from completing my performance this month."
Shui Ling, "..." Gods also need to perform well?
Seeing that they were so familiar, Shui Ling drew the prize with a blank mind. After the wheel stopped, Shui Ling didn't even look at it, "Is that enough now?"
"That's enough. Why aren't you happy? Isn't the prize good?" Si Shanguan asked curiously.
Shui Ling groaned and looked at the prize. She was shocked by the sight. What the hell is the Sonic Scarecrow?
"What's this?"
Si Shanguan thought for a while and said: "It should be something from your time. It can be placed in the fields to drive away birds and beasts to destroy the crops. I don't understand this. You can research it yourself."
Shui Ling jumped up. It was so good. He was really sleepy and brought a pillow. With this sonic scarecrow, he is no longer afraid of wild beasts destroying the crops.
"Grandpa, I love you so much, Trojan..." Shui Ling said and ran back.
Si Shanguan, "..." This girl is already engaged and says she loves me. It seems that I am also popular with girls. Isn't it time to find a girlfriend?
Of course, Shui Ling didn't know what he was thinking. He ran home in one breath and saw two groups of people appearing in the open space at the door. They were fighting with farm tools that were supposed to be used for farming.
Su Qin saw Shui Ling pulling her back into the cave, "The two branches of the Shui family are fighting."
"What are you fighting for? There are only a few people with the same surname, so what's there to fight for? Have they all forgotten the red-eyed tribe's unanimous attitude toward others when they came here?" Shui Ling really didn't understand what this meant.
Shui Zheran, who had not gone out, was drinking tea. Next to him sat the patriarch who looked sad.
Shui Zheran said: "You don't understand, they wanted the land in front of the door and started fighting because of the uneven fat and thinness."
Shui Ling sneered, walked to the bamboo sofa and sat down, "At worst, no one will give it to me. I will treat that land as a land for a lonely old man and let everyone help plant it. If I harvest it, won't I get extra food?"
"But it doesn't take that much!" Shui Zheran shook his head.
Shui Ling's eyes lit up when he looked at the water spinach seedlings growing in the flower pots in the house, "Let's do this. The rest will be divided into one piece by each family and used as a vegetable plot. We will cut bamboos to make fences, divide the plots and write numbers on them, and then draw lots.
Whatever the date is, that’s the date.”
The patriarch suddenly raised his head and looked at Shui Ling. He slapped his thigh and said, "Okay, this is good, but they are not willing to listen to me now."
Shui Ling looked at Shui Zheran, wasn't he very good at handling fights?
Shui Zheran said calmly: "Let them beat you. They are too full all winter and have no place to vent. Let's wait until the beating is over."
"Uh... okay." Shui Ling thought it made sense.
The ping-pong-pong was played outside for a while and then stopped. These people were still afraid of the pain.
Someone knocked on the door, "Sister Su Qin, can you give me some medicine?"
Su Qin said coldly through the door: "No, my wound medicine is for heroes who beat foreigners, not for bastards who beat fellow villagers."
The people outside were silent for a moment and didn't knock on the door again. They probably left in shame.
The patriarch stood up, walked to the door with steady steps, opened the door and walked out, looking around at the people sitting on the ground.
"I have become more capable when I haven't been hungry in the winter. I can pick up a hoe and use a sickle on the people in the same village just for a piece of wasteland!"
"Now I tell you, no one can occupy this land at the door. I have other uses."
Someone shouted in dissatisfaction: "Chief, are you going to give this land to Laosi's family? I admit that he is powerful, but you can't be so partial."
"Yes, this is unfair. It cannot be given to the fourth family. We are not convinced!"
Shui Zheran, who was drinking tea in the room, had a stiff face. If the tiger doesn't show off its power, do you think I'm a sick cat?
He stood up and walked to the door with his long legs. His whole person exuded a calm and powerful aura, which was very different from his usual smiling appearance.
Someone had the courage to shout: "Shui Zheran, the patriarch has always favored your family. Now we are divided into separate families. You can't monopolize all the benefits."
Shui Zheran looked over and saw that the people who were dissatisfied with him were those who had never accepted his innocence. Although the people who accepted him were not happy, they showed resigned expressions.
