Rebirth of a Farmhouse with Space

Nan Huai helped Ms. Dong who was half lying on the tree branch and said, "Yes, we are no longer the same as before. We must find a way to leave here now! I will help you go down first! Go slowly and be careful!"

In the morning, each of them ate a baked egg that had been left overnight and a piece of braised meat and drank a few sips of water for breakfast, and then continued on their journey.

Ms. Dong walked behind Nan Chen and asked, "I saw a wolf walking under the tree late last night. Did you see it?"

"I saw it. You weren't asleep at that time? I thought you were asleep!"

"You know I'm a light sleeper. I'll wake up at the slightest noise. Last night, the big black wolf was so huge. Its four hooves made a crackling sound when they stepped on the ground. It was so scary. And its two big eyes were as bright and round as little light bulbs!"

"I didn't scare you out loud. That's progress!"

"Don't flatter me. You don't know how scared I was. I was shaking all over!"

After a night's rest and with food in hand, our mood improved a lot. The family talked and laughed as they walked through the dense forest. Finally, they saw a path. The path was very narrow but it seemed that people often used it, otherwise it would have been overgrown with grass!

Nanchen resigned himself to fate and randomly chose a direction and walked along the path. Finally, they saw a village before the sun set!

"Finally, we finally see the village!" Nanchen excitedly lifted Xiaoya up high to celebrate.

This made the little girl very happy, "One more time!"

Nan Chen was very easy to talk to and lifted the little girl above his head again, "Fly!"

"Hahaha!" The little girl's hands and feet were waving, and even the usually calm and composed brothers Nan Ye and Nan Huai laughed out loud.

"Okay, stop making trouble. Let's go and take a look. We don't know what the situation is in the village yet!"

"Yes, yes, you are right. We can't be happy too soon. If they don't let us settle there, we will have to find another place!"

The family of five looked so disheveled that they could hardly be recognized as human beings. When they walked into the village, everyone in the village came out to see them. An old man in his sixties leaning on a cane asked, "Who are you? Where are you from? What are you doing here?"

After asking three questions in a row, Nan Chen handed the maid to Ms. Dong, and he took a step forward and replied, "Uncle, my family has fled from other places, and we want to settle down here with you. Do you think it's okay?"

The old man nodded to show that he understood. They were just another group of poor people who had fled. So everyone in their village had fled here, so no one should blame anyone else!

"Fourteen families live here, and your family has just made up the total of fifteen families. The court has a rule that a village cannot be built if there are less than fifteen families. Now it is considered enough, and I will send someone to the county government tomorrow!"

Nanchen thought to himself, what a coincidence! If we hadn’t come, this place wouldn’t even be a village!

The old man continued while leaning on his cane, "I'm the oldest in this village, so I'll take credit for it. My last name is Zhao, and you can all call me Uncle Zhao. Later, every household in the village will send a representative to my house to elect a village chief and a village head. Although our village is not big, we still need the necessary things!"

After saying that, Uncle Zhao pointed at the two families and ordered, "Let them stay at your house tonight. If there is anything, wait until they are settled down before discussing it!"

An honest man walked up to Nan Chen and said, "I'm Han Dazhuang. My family is just me and my father. You can split into three and go to my house!"

Another woman in her thirties also smiled and walked forward to introduce herself, "My last name is Hua, and everyone calls me the widow Hua. I have only two daughters in my family, so you two can stay at my house without worry!"

The villagers were all nice people, all smiling and welcoming. Ms. Dong held Xiaoya in her arms and asked softly, "Hua, Sister Hua, are you really all gathered together to escape?"

Sister Hua smiled brightly, "Yes, it's true. There are so many refugees these days, and many die on the road. If we gather them in the city and let the officials arrange a place for us to stay, then it's fine. We will definitely be forced to do labor or military service, and they won't take our lives seriously at all! Later, we really had no choice. The Zhao Bo who spoke just now said that instead of listening to the arrangements of the court, we might as well find a place to build a village ourselves. However, there are requirements for building a village. Before you came, there were only fourteen households here, which was not qualified. Now that you are here, we are qualified. Hahaha, don't you think this is a coincidence!"

Ms. Dong asked again, "So, does Mr. Zhao know how to read?"

Sister Hua thought for a moment and replied, "He should know it, otherwise how could he know so many court regulations!"

Ms. Dong nodded in agreement. Yes, only those who are familiar with the court regulations can use these regulations to break the deadlock!

Soon they arrived at Sister Hua's house. Sister Hua lived in a thatched hut. Her two daughters slept in one room, and she slept in another. The house was extremely poor, with no furniture at all. "Big sister, come in!"

"Sister Hua, my last name is Dong, and my name is Dong Xiangxiang. You can call me Sister Dong!"

"Dong Xiangxiang, hey, this name sounds nice. From now on, I will call you Xiangxiang, okay?"

"Okay, okay! I like you to call me that!" Ms. Dong was still a little shy, but because she was dirty, no one could tell!

"Oh, by the way, Sister Hua!" Ms. Dong was also very outgoing. She had called the other person Sister Hua before, but now she called her Sister Hua. "Do you know where there is a river nearby? Look how dirty we are. I even hate myself. I have to push myself into the water to wash myself clean first!"

"Yes, that river is quite big. You can see the rocky beach after you cross that wasteland. Come on, I'll take you there!"

The river that Sister Hua talked about is really not an ordinary river. When the water level rises, this river can accommodate merchant ships!

However, there has been a drought in recent years and the water level has been dropping. Nanchen and his two sons washed themselves thoroughly in the water and also washed their clothes at the same time, killing two birds with one stone!

Ms. Dong wanted to induce Xiaobao to go into the space bathroom to get her shampoo and soap, but was interrupted by Nanchen, "Wife, Xiaobao, give it to me, and you should wash yourself! You can't take everything out now, otherwise it will be hard to explain. When we have our own private space in the future, you can ask her to get it for you!"

"Okay, got it. Xiaobao is almost done washing. Don't let her play in the water anymore. Carry her to shore!"

The evening sun was particularly bright red, and Nan Chen, with his long wet hair and naked upper body, looked particularly tall and straight. Ms. Dong was a little dazed when she saw this scene, "Honey, I didn't realize that you look so pleasing to the eye after you wash yourself!"

Xiao Ya said, "Hubby, it's very pleasing to the eyes!"
