The general's wife knows medicine

Chapter 64 Wolf Hunting Village

It was not yet dark when Tang Peipei and others entered the village.

Led by Yang Tingzhen all the way, when they arrived at the village entrance, there was a man standing there. When he saw Yang Tingzhen, he hurried forward.

He bowed and said, "Deputy General Yang."

Yang Tingzhen nodded in response and asked, "Have you contacted the village head?"

The man nodded. "Don't worry, Deputy General Yang. I have already made an appointment with the head of the village. He asked me to choose a place to live. It's too late today, so he told me to write the paperwork tomorrow and take it to the government office in the city to register as a resident."

Yang Tingzhen turned around and said to Tang Peipei: "Then let's go check out the accommodation first?"

Tang Peipei nodded.

Yang Tingzhen asked the man to lead the way. The residences were not far from each other and were all abandoned houses in the village.

When the guide arrived at the place, he said, "My name is Liu Dunzi, and I am a soldier under Deputy General Yang."

Then he pointed to the largest house among the three and said, "This one is the largest. I heard that this was the ancestral home of a merchant. He built this house after he became rich. Later, the merchant's descendants committed a crime, and the ancestral home became empty."

Tang Peipei looked in the direction of his hand and saw that it was still a blue brick and tile house. There were a lot of weeds around the house, and it looked really dilapidated.

Liu Dunzi pointed to two other places and said, "These two places are the houses of villagers. Because new houses were built, these houses are empty."

Tang Peipei looked at the two places. The two houses were not far from each other. One was a thatched house and the other was an adobe house. However, both were a bit dilapidated and not very big.

Tang Peipei looked around the three other places and found that there were basically no residents, and those that did were some distance away from these three places.

"Are there only these three places?" Tang Peipei was not very satisfied with these three places.

Liu Dunzi said in embarrassment: "Everyone in the village built their own houses and lived in them. There were no extra houses, so there were only these three."

Tang Peipei looked at the three houses and decided that the most suitable one was the blue brick and tile house, which was definitely big enough for their family to live in, but that house looked the most difficult to clean.

The other two places seemed easier to clean up, but they were a bit small.

Tang Peipei was in a difficult situation to make a decision.

Seeing this, Lu Lifeng suggested, "Peipei, I think we should go to the bigger one. We have more people, so it won't take too long to clean up."

Lu Gang also nodded and said, "That's right. With so many people, are you afraid that you can't clean up a yard?"

The others nodded and said yes.

Finally, everyone unanimously decided to move into the blue brick and tile house.

Now that the decision has been made, everyone should hurry up and start packing up before it gets completely dark.

Liu Dunzi said that after the house was decided, he had to go to the village head to pay the land deed and silver.

Tang Peipei followed Liu Dunzi to the village head's house.

On the way, Liu Dunzi also gave a brief account of the situation in the village and the character of the headman.

"There are a total of 108 households in the village. The original number was 87. Later, many outsiders moved in, totaling 21 households. The original residents of the hunter village basically all know how to hunt, and the villagers are easy to get along with. The head of the village was elected by the people, and he is a very good person. He is an honest and upright head of the village. If you have any problems in the village in the future, you can ask Uncle Head of the Village for help. As long as he can do it, he will be willing to help..."

"Is Dunzi familiar with the Hunter Village?" Tang Peipei listened to him carefully and asked curiously.

Liu Dunzi scratched his head and smiled awkwardly, "I am from Wolf Hunter Village and grew up here. Later I joined the army and followed General Mu. Now I work under Deputy General Yang."

The headman's house was in the very center of the village. It took Tang Peipei and Liu Dunzi about a cup of tea to get there.

When Tang Peipei arrived, the village head was sitting in the house calculating something. Seeing Liu Dunzi coming in with a young woman, he quickly packed up his things and went out to greet them.

"Is this the resident who is going to move in?" The village head looked at Tang Peipei and asked Liu Dunzi.

Liu Dunzi nodded, "Yes, this is..." Thinking that he didn't know Tang Peipei's name yet, he looked at Tang Peipei.

Tang Peipei quickly said, "It's just right! My name is Tang Peipei."

Liu Dunzi said, "Yes, Miss Tang and her family came to settle in the Hunter Village and chose the largest blue brick house. Uncle Village Chief, what do you think?"

The village head nodded and said, "I think Dunzi has already told the girl what happened to that house. The house you chose was confiscated. There are few people coming to the village, so it has been kept until now."

After a pause, he continued, "The original price of that house was at least one hundred taels, but since it has been abandoned for many years, I want it today. I'll give you sixty taels for the whole including the title deed."

Tang Peipei didn't say anything. She was really not familiar with the prices in ancient times. Now she only knew some basic prices of firewood, rice, oil, salt and cloth, but she was not familiar with houses.

The village head thought Tang Peipei thought the price was too high, so he said, "Generally, land deeds in the village require thirty taels. Although the house is old, it can still be lived in if it is properly cleaned up. Tomorrow, I will find some people to help you repair it. The family used very particular materials at the time, otherwise it would have collapsed long ago if it had not been lived in for so many years. But you can see that there is nothing wrong with it except for a lot of weeds and some moss."

After hearing what the village chief said, Tang Peipei also felt that it seemed to be true, so he said, "Then I'll trouble Uncle Village Chief to help find someone to come to my house tomorrow to help repair the damaged parts. Uncle Village Chief, don't worry, the work won't be done in vain."

The head of the village nodded and said, "No problem. If there are no other questions, we will sign the document and take it to the government office in the city to register with your residence registration tomorrow."

The head of the village asked Tang Peipei and others to come into the house and sit down. He wrote a document in triplicate and Tang Peipei signed it.

When the village head saw Tang Peipei's handwriting, he was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Tang Peipei could write so well. He began to admire Tang Peipei a little.

The village head handed a copy of the document to Tang Peipei and said, "Wait a moment."

The head of the village went into his bedroom and after a while, he took out two pieces of paper and handed them to Tang Peipei.

Tang Peipei took it and found that it was a land deed and a house deed.

Tang Peipei carefully put it away and said, "Thank you, Uncle Li Zheng! If there is nothing else, I will go back first. I'll trouble you to pay attention to tomorrow's matters, Uncle Li Zheng."

The head of the village smiled and said, "No problem, go back without worry."

It was already dark when Tang Peipei and Liu Dunzi went back together. Worried about her family, Tang Peipei couldn't help but quicken her pace.

When Tang Peipei came back, she almost couldn't recognize the place. The house, which was a mess just now, has now been almost tidied up.

Tang Peipei hurried into the house.

Seeing Tang Peipei coming back, Tang's mother hurriedly greeted her and said, "You're back. We've been waiting for you to eat."

Only then did Tang Peipei see clearly who was sitting in the room.

Tang Peipei stepped forward and asked, "Why are you here?"

Mu Jintang smiled and said, "I know you guys will be too busy today, and I'm afraid you won't have any sleep or food tonight, so I brought a few people over to help, and I bought some food. Go eat quickly, before it gets cold."

Tang Peipei was touched. If it weren't for Mu Jintang, she would probably have to stay in an inn today. He not only helped her find a place she was satisfied with, but also came to help in person.

Even if he didn't say it, he knew that he was doing all this for himself.

How could Tang Peipei not be moved? In this strange world, he gave her a different kind of warmth.

The Lu family and Tang's mother are relatives, but he is nothing. However, he still cares about her.

Tang Peipei smiled at Mu Jintang, "Have you eaten?"

Mu Jintang felt a little warm in her heart when she received Tang Peipei's concern. She nodded and said, "I've eaten. You eat first and have a good rest after eating. I'll leave first. I haven't gone home yet."

Tang Peipei didn't expect that after he returned to Beijing, he didn't go home first, but asked someone to help her first.

He silently noted everything in his mind and said, "Okay, be careful on the road."
