At the foot of the mountain, Gu Qingqing was steaming buns when she suddenly heard Erhua running and shouting, "Mom, look, there are people coming towards us again."

Gu Qingqing subconsciously thought, could it be Gu Zhuangzhuang coming again?

After she pushed a piece of hard wood into the stove, she walked out of the kitchen and looked towards the path she came in from.

After she looked at the figure for a while, she knew at a glance that it was not Gu Zhuangzhuang.

She said to Wen Wuyan who was also watching, "These people look strange. They don't look like they are from the village."

Wen Wuyan was delighted at this moment, and he grabbed Gu Qingqing, interlocking their fingers unconsciously, "Qingqing, I don't have to go to town tomorrow, look, they came here on their own!"

Gu Qingqing exclaimed "Ah" at first, then asked in surprise, "Are they the people you met while digging the canal?"

"Yeah! They are, I just don't know why they suddenly came here."

"Hey, let go of my hand, go and pour the tea." Gu Qingqing knew who was coming, so she broke free from Wen Wuyan's hand and turned to go to the kitchen.

Now we not only have teacups but also tea leaves at home, which means we have taken the hospitality aspect to a higher level.

Old Yang and his companions began to wonder if they had gone in the wrong direction, until they saw Wen Wuyan coming out leaning on a wooden stick, and they immediately burst into laughter.

"At first I didn't believe you lived here, but now I feel relieved to see you. Why don't you stay in bed and rest? Do you want to get up and leave your legs?" Old Yang asked him with a glare.

Wen Wuyan didn't care much about this, as he had been jumping around a lot these days.

At this time, I hurriedly explained, "Uncle Yang, Qingqing has fixed my leg for me. As long as I don't bump into it, it doesn't restrict my movements. Come on, come on, please go home. It's a good thing that you're here today. If you didn't come today, I would have come to find you tomorrow."

"Brother Wuyan, what do you want to do with Old Yang? Are you missing the loaches he made?" Zhao Bei and Wen Wuyan are also familiar with each other, so he jumped out to ask first.

Wen Wuyan patted Zhao Bei's shoulder and said, "You only know how to eat."

Then a few people exchanged greetings.

After they sat down at the small table in the yard, Gu Qingqing served tea and took Dahua and Erhua to the kitchen.

Zhao Nan took off a small bag from behind and handed it to Old Yang.

Old Yang placed the small package on the dining table in the yard and unwrapped it.

Wen Wuyan looked at the things inside and asked, "What is this?"

There was nothing else inside but three badly worn books, two brushes, and an inkstone.

"These things are no longer useful to me. Thinking about all the people I know now, you are the only one who has shown an interest in reading and writing, so I thought of coming to see you and giving you these."

Old Yang pointed at the things in the package and spoke very casually.

"Uncle Yang, you can't do this. You used to protect these things as if they were your life. What are you doing to me?" Wen Wuyan quickly refused.

He didn't understand before. The ink and writing materials were prepared by Old Yang, and he just picked up the pen.

Now when he bought pens and ink from the town and started copying books, he could clearly tell the difference between the inkstone and the ink.

He couldn't tell what was so good about Old Yang's inkstone, but it was much better than the one he bought.

"Bullshit! I protected them before because those bastards wanted to tear up the books and use the papers to wipe their butts. Since they are useless to me, I might as well give them to you. If you want to continue writing, they will be useful. Otherwise, I will use them as firewood." Old Yang said nonchalantly.

"Let's not talk about that. Tell me about your situation. Is this your home?" Old Yang asked, pointing around.

The people who came were all people he made friends with while digging the canal. He roughly described what had happened after he came back.

Of course, he also explained what could and could not be said about natural selection, and finally turned the topic directly to what he wanted to ask them for help.

Zhao Dong has had some chivalrous spirit in his heart since he was young, otherwise he would not have kept four brothers by his side after the head of the Zhao family released them and helped them get rid of their slavery.

The ones who came with him today are Zhao Nan and Zhao Bei, and those who are not here yet are Zhao Xi, Zhao Zhong and Zhao Feng.

After hearing what Wen Wuyan said, Zhao Dong angrily punched the table, causing ripples on the tea on the table.

"In the past, I have heard a lot about brothers fighting against each other in big families, but this is the first time I have seen such a thing happen among farmers.

We separated you because your leg was injured, and now you are dividing the family, yet you still want to covet your property. Although you have a secret that is not convenient for us to tell, we have known you for a long time. I can see clearly what kind of person you are. We will play the bad guy now and help you break up your relationship. "

After Zhao Dong finished speaking, he was about to get up and leave, but was suddenly stopped by Old Yang and Wen Wuyan, one on each side.

"Brother Dong, there's no rush. Sit down and take a rest now that you've just arrived."

"Why not? Your brother is a piece of shit." Although Zhao Dong cursed, he still didn't really rise up in rebellion.

Just at this time, Wen Dacheng, Village Chief Wu Shan and a few others who followed came towards Wen Wuyan.

At the end of the crowd were Wen Chen and Zhang Cuilan.

It was not for any other reason, but because Wen Dacheng and Wu Shan heard from Zhang Cuilan that she was not going to kill him or take any valuables from him.

If there was a quarrel in someone's family on ordinary days, Wu Shan might not go over to take a look.

But now he heard that it was outsiders who came to cause trouble for the villagers. Regardless of the facts, as the head of the village, he should protect his fellow villagers. As for the other matter, he can talk about it slowly.

So when everyone hurried over, they saw Wen Wuyan "arguing" with someone from afar, and Wen Dacheng and Wu Shan both shouted "Stop!"

When Wen Dacheng and Wu Shan finally arrived, they saw an old man drinking tea.

A young man was eating a steaming bun that had just come out of the pot.

Another young man sat there with his arms folded. He didn't make any expression, but the scar on his face was scary to look at.

"I am the village chief of Niutoushan Village. Who are you?" Wu Shan walked forward and asked.

Old Yang put down his teacup, stood up and said to the visitor with a smile, "I am a member of the canal digging team outside Huacheng County. This time I came to your village to look for Brother Wen Wuyan to collect a debt on behalf of our boss."

As soon as Old Yang finished speaking, the villagers following Niutou Mountain immediately started discussing in a low voice.

"Debt collection? Isn't the third son of the Wen family digging a canal? How could he owe someone money?"

"Tsk, it may not be about money, maybe it's something else."

"No way. The third son of the Wen family is an honest man in the village. What can he do?"

"Debt collection? What debt? Could it be a mistake?" Wen Dacheng asked in confusion.

Gu Qingqing, who had been standing at the door of the kitchen, raised her eyebrows when she heard this. The arrival of her father and the village chief was really a timely relief, as it saved Old Yang and the others the trouble of going there.

Old Yang was playing the role of a good-natured debt collector. After hearing what Wen Dacheng said, he said with a smile, "My dear brother, we can't make a mistake. We are all co-workers digging the same canal and sleeping under the same shed. How can we be wrong? As for what debt you are asking about? It is of course a debt of gold, silver and money."
