Wang Shan hurried and finally returned to the village, but seeing that there were still government officials searching, he squatted in the bushes, not daring to move, and watched silently.

Over there, many corpses covered with white cloth were carried out one after another and lined up in rows. The scene was spectacular.

The houses in the village were burned down to the point that only some empty frames were left at the edges, and the rest were burned to ashes.

We waited for a long time, until our legs were numb from squatting, when the group of soldiers finally left, leaving one or two behind to guard.

While the group of officers and soldiers were setting up camp, he hid from sight and came to the cave where he often came to feed his daughter.

Seeing the marks he had made in the village before, his memory was still fresh, so Wang Shan quickly realized something.

After all, I only told him about the existence of this cave.

Wang Shan was very excited and wanted to fly to the village immediately.

Glancing around, I saw the room where the grain was stored.

Avoiding sight, he hurried over there quickly.

Although the place where the grain was stored was not completely burned, there was not much grain originally, after all, I helped to purchase the grain, but now it was empty and in a mess.

With a quick glance, he saw a few copper coins under a few pressed down black wooden shelves.

Not bad, I'll take it.

I didn't get any grain, but I did pick up a few copper coins.

Wang Shan searched carefully, but found nothing.

I don’t know if my second brother took advantage of the situation to rob.

……

"Uncle village chief, uncle village chief, someone is coming from outside the village."

A kid about twelve or thirteen years old was shouting at the top of his voice all the way, and almost everyone who passed by ran out of their houses to take a look.

"It's a pity that Lin Chunhe didn't go to sing opera. His voice is so loud that almost everyone in the village can hear him."

"Haha, it even has its own echo." The old man next to him joked.

Lin Chunhe jogged all the way and finally arrived at the door of Village Chief Li's house.

He knocked on the door and gasped heavily.

"I'm coming, I'm coming, no need to knock, your voice is so loud that I can hear you from far away, where is the person?"

"Uncle village chief, I was waiting outside the village. You came just in time. It was almost dark. I was carrying grass down from the mountain and I happened to see you."

"Okay, let's go then."

……

Outside the village

Everyone was waiting outside, each carrying large and small bags of things. Liu Zhushan also bought a cart, which was also piled with food and miscellaneous items.

Liu Zhushan looked at the village he came to again, and his mood was completely different from the last time, which was quite strange.

"Dad, will the village chief allow us to live here? It's so beautiful here, there are so many bamboos, and there are so many small fish in the river. I don't want to leave."

"Xiao Yu, don't worry. Father still has the documents given by Magistrate Wu."

Lin Chunhe brought the village chief all the way to the village entrance, followed by villagers who came to watch the fun.

"Hey, isn't this a great hero?"

"What great hero?"

"See that big guy in front? He was the one who took those twenty or so kids to the county government office."

"Oh my god, a great hero is coming to our village, so we have to treat him well."

Liu Zhushan looked at a middle-aged man with an upright figure walking towards him and nodded at him.

"Hello, Village Chief Li. We are moving into your village. I wonder if there is any vacant land in the village."

"Welcome, welcome. It's not your village. There aren't many people in our village, so most of them are local. You can choose any one you want. But it's a little late now. There is an abandoned thatched house in the west of the village. You can clean it up and live there, or find a place to build a house. You can arrange it as you like."

"Village Chief Li, it's like this. I have another friend who has not come here yet because of something else. I don't know..."

"It's okay. Just come over in a few days to register together. You and anyone you know are welcome to stay in our village at any time."

Village chief Li is eager to have more people come to reclaim the wasteland. After all, there is a policy from above that will benefit him, so how can he refuse?

In this way, Liu Zhushan moved into the village behind the village with his children and started a new life.

The villagers were very welcoming. Since we had just arrived and had nothing to start a fire, they all brought extra firewood from home. A few aunts also brought some vegetables.

Liu Zhushan was very grateful.

The house was a bit shabby, but the roof was well built and had no holes. There was a flowing river next to the mountain, and there was a lot of dust inside the house, but everyone helped clean it up and it soon looked brand new, and the water tank was full of water.

Since there were no beds here, the villagers brought some rice straw and spread them on the ground. Liu Zhushan brought a newly bought quilt and spread it on the ground so that the children would not catch a cold at night.

This place is located on the side of a mountain. Although it is still summer, the temperature at night is completely different from that during the day.

The stove here can still be used after being cleaned up. Liu Zhushan started a fire, picked up the newly bought pot, washed it, and started cooking.

Li Juanhua, the little girl who was sold by her family, is twelve years old this year, but her height is about the same as the ten-year-old Zhu Xiaoque.

The two girls were helping Liu Zhushan with his hands at this time.

As for Liu Xiaoyu and Wang Huan, they were squatting quietly beside the stove, watching silently.

The lame boy is now called Liu Yuelai, a child of seven or eight years old. He wielded the hoe with great energy and was working very hard. Liu Yuelai liked his new name very much. After all, when he was wandering on the streets before, everyone called him a little beggar. Liu Yuelai has been wandering on the streets since he could remember, and he survived until now by relying on food given to him by kind-hearted people.

Liu Yuelai remembers an old man who took good care of him. The old man had no children and was alone. Seeing that he was pitiful, the old man took him in and he lived with the old man for a while.

But suddenly one day, the old man fell asleep and never got up again.

He cried loudly and was terrified, and in the end he could only watch silently as kind-hearted people helped deal with the old man's funeral affairs.

Liu Yuelai became a homeless child again.

Although he was very young, he had seen too many people and things. He was happy when being kidnapped by bad guys. At least he didn't have to sleep in the open air anymore and he had food and drink. Although he didn't know what he was doing, he was ready to meet the old man and his parents.

After all, he had nothing to worry about in this world, and no one cared about him.

However, seeing Uncle Liu risking his life to rescue him, Liu Yuelai felt that there were still some people in this world who cared about him, and he had nowhere else to go, so he could only stay with Uncle Liu.

He looked at the boy playing with mud next to him, a silly boy one year younger than him, named Zhou Daquan.

I can’t remember anything, but I remember that my name is Zhou Daquan.

"Yuelai, call Daquan, wash your hands, and we'll have dinner."

"Okay, Father Liu, we'll come."
