"The refugees who came from the north to escape famine." Hei Dazhuang explained: "My family heard that Qizhou City is full of people, and they want to drive out the excess refugees. We happen to be short of people in Qiongzhou, and we want to take this opportunity to pick up some people.
go back."
When Shu Mingzhi heard this, his heart moved. Now they were worried about having nowhere to go. If Qiongzhou was really willing to accept refugees, they could give it a serious thought.
That's it...the black-faced rough guy in front of me is so naive. Can you believe what he says?
Shu Mingzhi thought for a moment, and already had a plan in his mind. He smiled and pulled Hei Dazhuang to sit in front of the fire, and gave him some wild fruits picked on the road.
With food in hand, Hei Dazhuang became even more enthusiastic towards him. He was so disgusted with him that he became a good brother and even ran away with his tail between his legs.
Shu Mingzhi endured the discomfort and asked him about the inside story: "Brother Da Zhuang, do you know what benefits the refugees will get if they go to Qiongzhou?
I heard people say that refugees who settle down in Qizhou can be exempted from taxes for three years and can also receive relief food. Do you have any?"
"Of course!" Hei Dazhuang answered quickly, "We in Qiongzhou have given us more things than Qizhou!
Qizhou will be exempted from taxes for three years, and we will be exempted from taxes for five years!
Qizhou gives each person ten kilograms of relief grain, and we give fifteen kilograms!
Qizhou lets the refugees live in small shacks, and we give them houses!"
"Are you also given a house?" Old Shu, who was listening in the audience, couldn't hold back his voice. He distributed the tax-free food and gave a house. The God of Wealth wouldn't dare to be so generous, right?
Hei Dazhuang raised his eyebrows and said, "Of course, if you go early, you can get a big mansion with a courtyard!"
A large mansion with a courtyard...
Old Man Shu rubbed his beating heart and endured it for a few moments before he breathed out.
Is he about to get the big blue brick house that he has been looking forward to all his life?
I can’t believe it!
Others were also excited. They stretched their necks one by one to ask Hei Dazhuang about the situation in Qiongzhou, whether it was easy to get a house, and whether the locals were getting along well...
Those who think long-term (think well) have planned how many banquets they will host if they live in a mansion.
At this time, Hei Dazhuang, who was several times slower to react, finally guessed the identity of the group of people in front of him and slapped his thigh, "Emma, are you the refugees who fled south?
That's a good relationship. When the time comes, you guys come with me and I'll ask you to be sent to Qiongzhou to live a good life!"
As he spoke, he stuffed a wild fruit into his mouth and proudly showed off: "I'll tell you a secret. Most people don't even mention this... In fact, I am related to you."
Shu Mingzhi's eyes lit up, "What relative?"
Hei Dazhuang straightened his chest and said proudly, "I am your nephew's nephew's second uncle!"
Everyone: "..."
These "relatives" are really close!
Hei Dazhuang didn't notice the incomprehensible expressions of everyone at all. He patted his chest and made a promise: "You are a good person by giving me fruit to eat!"
When I meet the Lord, I will definitely ask him to take good care of you and assign a good place to you."
Now, no one cares about whether there is a good place or not. The main thing is to settle down as soon as possible!
"Where are your adults? Take us there quickly. If what you say is true, we will pack our things and follow you!" the village chief asked impatiently, tugging on his sleeves.
When this issue was mentioned, Hei Dazhuang was unusually silent.
After a moment, he looked at the village chief shyly and said aggrievedly: "I don't know the road. If I knew the road, I wouldn't have walked in this forest for three days and still haven't walked out.
If I hadn't seen the light of your cooking, I don't know how long I would have been here."
Everyone: "..."
When they encounter such a "smart" thing, I really don't know whether they should be considered lucky or unlucky.
After a strange silence, Shu Mingxin spoke: "Then do you know where your family is going to find refugees? Just give a rough place name."
Once the news about Qiongzhou's recruitment of refugees is released, it will spread very quickly, and you can definitely find it if you have a general direction.
So now it depends on whether Hei Dazhuang can do anything.
Faced with everyone's fiery eyes, Hei Dazhuang held it in for a long time before he came up with two words - Pier.
Shu Mingxin immediately took out Fengwu Zhi and checked. There are more than ten large and small docks near Qizhou, one of which is only a dozen miles away.
Shu Mingxin told everyone the specific situation, and finally raised a question: "Because we are not sure which pier the Qiongzhou people will disembark at, we can only look for them one by one.
Maybe you’ll find the first one, or maybe you’ll have to go around a long way to find it… It’s up to you to decide whether you want to find it or not.”
This time everyone stopped looking at the village chief, and their eyes fell directly on Yan Yan, "Yan Yan, do you think we should go to Qiongzhou?"
Yan Yan did not answer directly, but looked at Hei Dazhuang with her big black eyes, and then asked seriously with her hands behind her back: "Uncle Hei, is there a sea in Qiongzhou?"
"Of course! Qiongzhou is surrounded by the sea, and you can only go out by boat."
“Are there many big fish, prawns and crabs in the sea?”
"So many! So many that they can pile up into a mountain!"
Xiaotuanzi's eyes lit up, "Really? You're not lying?"
Hearing the word "liar", Hei Dazhuang's voice tripled, and at the same time he slapped his chest loudly, "I, Hei Dazhuang, have never lied to people in my life. If you lie to people, I'm a dog, okay?"
At that time, no one in Yaoshui Village took this sentence at ease. Half a month later, they came to the small deserted village where weeds were taller than people and wild fruits smashed their heads. Thinking back to the scene where he said these words, they wanted to break the news.
Come back and slap his mouth until it becomes swollen!
The innocent Yan Yan also believed what he said. She grinned, revealing two rows of white, glutinous rice teeth, and said, "Okay, let's go to Qiongzhou!"
It doesn’t matter which state it is, as long as there is food and drink, it is a good state!
After receiving Xiaotuanzi's affirmative answer, everyone seemed to have taken a dose of reassurance. Regardless of being hungry, they immediately gathered around Shu Mingxin to study the best route.
Hei Dazhuang was left aside.
He was already hungry, but he became even hungrier after eating the sour fruit given by Shu Mingzhi. Now smelling the rich aroma of rice in the air, it felt like there were countless ants crawling in his heart, and he couldn't bear the itch any longer.
While Hei Dazhuang was wiping his saliva, he quietly moved to the steaming stove. Yan Yan happened to see this scene.
Xiaotuanzi was guarding the food and was hesitating whether to rush over to protect his dinner when he saw Hei Dazhuang swooping down nimbly and snatching away the wild fruit that was almost reaching Little Heidou's mouth.
Little Black Bean jumped up with a "ouch", his eyes widened in anger, "Woof woof woof!"
There are so many delicious things in the pot, but if you insist on grabbing the dog food from me, are you sick?!
Hei Dazhuang stuffed wild fruits into his mouth hungrily, and at the same time he did not forget to apologize to Little Hei Dou: "Good brother, I'm sorry, I'm too hungry.
They are refugees and they don’t have enough food to eat. I can’t eat from them, so I can only feel wronged by you.”
