Through the troubled times and famine, I just want to farm peacefully

Lin Yinan whispered a few words in Qianwu's ear, and Qianwu stood up.

She said crisply, "My wife said that we only want ten cents per pound. We should keep the tiger skin, bones, and gallbladder that can be used as medicine, and we can sell the rest."

Her words instantly caused an uproar among the villagers.

"Only ten cents, so cheap!"

"Pork at Longtan Grain and Oil Store costs twenty or thirty cents a pound."

"Tiger meat. I've never eaten tiger meat in my life. I'll cut off a pound and take it back to try."

"..."

Then, Yun Shiyi asked the village chief to find a few butchers who had killed pigs in the village to help. They brought a professional butcher knife for cutting meat and a scale. They first skinned the tiger and then separated the meat.

Lin Yinan looked at the houses in Baiwei Village. They were all low thatched houses. Fortunately, they were all newly built.

The south is rainy, and the climate is hot and humid. Living in such a house for a long time is bad for one's health and will affect one's lifespan.

After solving the problem of food and clothing, the next step is to improve the living environment.

"Village Chief, how many households are there in Baiwei Village?"

The village chief saw that the person asking him was a young woman with delicate features and beautiful appearance. Her eyes were so sharp that they seemed to be able to pierce people's hearts. She exuded a noble and cold aura, making people dare not look her in the face.

"There are a total of 120 households and more than 500 people." The village chief said respectfully.

There are too few people, and even if each family gets two kilograms, they can’t share all the tigers.

"Are there any other villages nearby?" Lin Yinan asked again.

The village chief nodded confidently and pointed to the large field in front of him. "Yes, there is a village behind the grove across the field. There are more people in that village than in our village."

"Then can the village chief send someone to notify the villagers over there and ask them to come over to buy meat?"

"Okay, I'll get someone there right away."

The village chief waved to two young men in the crowd, said a few words to them, and the two men ran quickly to the next village.

Half an hour later, with the help of the villagers, all three tigers were sorted out.

In the fields in the distance, a group of people were running towards them.

Lin Yinan couldn't help but sigh that the villagers at that time were so simple and honest. If there was any problem, the whole village would come in droves as soon as they shouted.

She narrowed her eyes and found the leader looked familiar.

The man suddenly appeared in front of her. It was not summer yet, but he was already tanned and his mouth was wide open, revealing a row of big white teeth.

"Sister! Why are you here?" Hu Shao looked at the person in front of him, surprised and happy.

Lin Yinan smiled, and the corners of his mouth curved up. "I was passing by Chi'an. I stayed in the mountains last night. In the middle of the night, a tiger suddenly attacked me. Sui killed the tiger. Are you okay here?"

Hu Shao said, "I am in the next village teaching the villagers to grow rice seedlings, and I am going to leave for the county town today."

Lin Yinan pointed at the pile of scattered things on the tiger's body on the ground.

"That's great. You can take these things back to Doctor Lin and let him take care of them."

"Sister, why don't I go with you to Chi'an to find my second uncle."

Hu Shao suddenly changed his mind. He hadn't been with his sister for a long time.

"Is everything here settled?"

"Ah."

"Go if you want to, but how are you going to tell Yunyu?"

This boy, who is only fifteen or sixteen years old, would have only graduated from junior high school in his previous life, but here he can stand on his own.

Hu Shao called over the two Yun family soldiers who were following him and explained everything to them.

After packing up the things on the ground, the two soldiers were about to leave, but the village chief quietly pulled them aside and asked them in a low voice.

"My lords, who is Mr. Hu's sister?"

One of the soldiers said, "Haven't you seen her in the county before? She is the Lord Mayor of Longtan County."

"Is it City Lord Lin?"

"Yes."

After the soldier finished speaking, he turned around and left. Young Master Hu was not leaving, and they had to rush to another village to meet up with his son.

The village chief secretly glanced at Lin Yinan through the crowd, recalling the woman who was standing on the city wall.

It’s really her!

He hurried to find his wife and said, "Quick! Go back and cook. Stew the meat we bought today and cook the rabbit for the end of the year."

"You don't want to live like this anymore!" The daughter-in-law rolled her eyes at the village chief, thinking he had gone crazy.

"Oh, let me tell you..."

The village chief leaned in and whispered something in his ear, and his wife's eyes widened immediately, "Are you serious?"

"You can tell whether it's true or not by looking at Brother Hu." The village chief leaned towards that direction.

The village chief's wife didn't dare to stay any longer, so she carried a load of water and went home to cook.

By noon, all the villagers who came to buy meat had left and the tiger meat was almost sold out.

After Lin Yinan came back from a walk in the fields with Hu Shao, he was invited to the village chief's home.

"Lord City Lord, I have prepared some simple food. I hope you will not mind and use some."

"Village chief is too polite!" Lin Yinan said with a smile.

"As it should be. If it weren't for the Lord City Lord, we would still be floating around like rootless duckweed."

Arriving at the village chief's house, Lin Yinan looked at the food on the table. It was dry rice mixed with beans, and there were large pieces of meat in the dishes. The village chief was really attentive.

She winked at Qianxia, ​​and Qianxia took the remaining dozen pounds of tiger meat from the horse's back and quietly placed it in the yard.

When they left, they put a small bag of rice under the table, which was just the right amount for so many people to eat at noon.

When the village chief's wife was cleaning the house, she found the rice under the table. She hurriedly carried the bag to the yard to find the village chief.

Just then, the eldest grandson who was playing in the yard exclaimed.

"Grandpa, look what this is?"

The village chief hurriedly took it out and took a look, and found that it was actually tiger meat.

"His father, look!" The village chief's wife handed a bag of rice to the village chief.

"It's rice!" The village chief was shocked, tears of excitement flashed in his eyes, and even his voice trembled unconsciously.

"The Lord City Lord is truly our benefactor. He is unwilling to take advantage of us even for a small reason."

Their benefactor Lin Yinan hurried along the mountain road and finally arrived at the village bordering Chi'an in the evening.

She planned to rest here for one night and go up the mountain again tomorrow.

Seeing Hu Shao, the village chief came out with a smile on his face and took his hand warmly, just like an old father waiting for his son who had not returned home for a long time.

"Master Xiao Hu, you are here again!"

Hu Shao patted his hands with a smile and said, "Uncle Village Chief, we would like to stay at your place for one night."

"Okay! Okay! Not just one night, but a long stay is fine."

The village chief took them to a brand new thatched house, which was specially built for Yun Yu and Hu Shao to live in when they came. It wouldn't be crowded even if so many people lived in it.

After leading the horse into the yard, the secret guard and the Chinatsu sisters began to busy themselves with preparations, lighting a fire and fetching water in preparation for cooking.

The village chief looked at Lin Yinan who was looking around the yard. Others were very respectful to her and guessed that her identity must be extraordinary.

He thought about it and lowered his voice to Hu Shao, "Master Hu, I will go home and ask my wife to come and cook for you."

Hu Shao hurriedly pulled him back and said, "Uncle Village Chief, please stop working. My sister doesn't like outsiders to bother her. I'll find you if I need anything."

"Is this, is this going to be disrespectful to our distinguished guests?"

"It's okay, my sister won't blame you."

The village chief had no choice but to agree. Before leaving, he glanced at Lin Yinan again and met her cold eyes.

Lin Yinan raised the corner of his mouth slightly and nodded gently at him.

When he saw her slightly cold gaze, the village chief quickly bowed and left in a hurry.
