Chapter 1248: Carrying on the Past and Opening up the Future (One Hundred and Thirty-Eight) Bandits in the Mountains

Wen Yi and Wen Cheng didn't get any jobs in the town, but they still rushed back excitedly. The good news they got in the town was enough to make them excited. The government wanted to allocate ten acres of land to the common people. After some calculation, Wen Yi realized that although his family only had three people, thirty acres of land was enough to support his family, and he didn't have to pay any more rent.

In the past, they rented the land from Mr. Yao's family. Not only did they have to pay 40% of the rent every year, but they also had to bear the taxes and labor of the state and the county's Linlin headquarters. Later, the He and Liang families rebelled and killed Mr. Yao and his family. However, these lands were eventually closed down, and they became tenants of official land again, but the burden was not relieved at all. On the contrary, because the remnants of He Liang's rebellion fled to Xang'er Mountain, they had to Bear one more cost of suppressing bandits.

Now I can be allocated thirty acres of land, but I don’t have to pay rent anymore. The novel "Pig>Pig" Island novel ww.m only bears the taxes and corvee, which has relieved most of the burden at once. I have hope for the future.

Wen Cheng's family has a larger population. There are two elderly parents and three children at home. After all, they will be allocated 70 acres of land. He is more excited than Wen Yilai.

"Brother Cheng, every acre of land still costs ten taels of silver. My family's thirty acres of land costs thirty taels of silver. I still can't come up with this money." While walking, Wen Yi suddenly remembered something. , couldn't help but slow down.

"Ayi, you are confused again, aren't you? Isn't it clearly written on the notice? This money can be paid back in three years without interest. Your family has thirty acres of land, and you are a farmer. You're such a good guy, you can't pay back thirty taels of silver in three years, maybe it'll be all in one year." Wen Cheng was still immersed in excitement.

"Yeah, I was so happy and confused as soon as I heard the answer. Did you really say that again later?" Wen Yi asked.

"Of course I said that. Otherwise, my family will have to take seventy taels of silver. You can't get it out even if you skin me!" Wen Cheng said with a smile.

The two people who were immersed in excitement quickly returned to the village. When they stepped into the courtyard gate, Wen Yi saw the woman leaning on the door frame. Seeing Wen Yi returning empty-handed, the woman's eyes couldn't help but be disappointed. color.

"Fuck, our good days are coming." Wen Yi said happily, eagerly telling the woman what he saw and heard in the town.

"Is it true? Can we have our own land?" The woman suddenly became excited, "Is it true that we don't need money?"

"Yes. With ten taels of silver per mu of land, our family of three can have three acres of land. The thirty taels of silver will be paid off in three years without interest. Our king is really a sage!" Wen Yi said sincerely: "Wait a minute. Once we get the land, if we work harder, we will always have a good time."

The woman nodded happily,

Got my own land. Then there will be everything.

Wen Yi walked to the water tank, scooped out a ladle of cold water, and drank it all in one gulp. However, his stomach growled unsatisfactorily at this moment.

"Damn it. Is there anything else to eat in the house?"

The woman shook her head. "There's nothing left. You sit down for a while, and I'll go look for it in the fields and dig up some wild vegetables."

Wen Yi was stunned for a moment. Although the land will be available, it will still be a matter of the future, but now the problem of food must be solved. After thinking for a while, he walked to the corner, picked up a sheep fork, and said, "Damn it, you go dig some wild vegetables. I'll try my luck in the Xanthium Mountain. Maybe I can catch one or two game back." The food could be improved.”

"Don't go!" The woman suddenly grabbed Wen Yi's clothes, "There are bandits in Xang Er Mountain and they are very dangerous."

"Don't worry, I won't go into the old forest. I will just wander around the edge for a while. Besides, even if I do encounter bandits, they belong to the He and Liang families. After all, we were fellow villagers in the past. He can still What are you really doing to me?" Wen Yi said with a smile.

"There are officers and soldiers stuck on the mountain road. If you let them catch you, they will say that you are also a bandit." The woman shook her head.

"It's not that mysterious. I, Wen Yi, am an old family member here. Who still doesn't recognize me? Besides, those soldiers guarding the blocks are not real officers and soldiers, they are rural soldiers from the county. I avoided the main road and copied The path goes into the mountains.”

After getting rid of the entanglement of the woman, Wen Yi picked up the sheep's fork and strode towards the Xanthium Mountain in the distance.

All the major and minor roads into the mountain were blocked by officers and soldiers. Since the officers and soldiers suffered losses when attacking the bandits in the Xanthium Mountain, the officers and soldiers no longer entered the mountain. Instead, they blocked them. The officers and soldiers wanted to starve the bandits to death.

Wen Yi was very familiar with Xanthium Mountain. He used to often go into the mountain to get rabbits, pheasants and other small animals. However, after the officers and soldiers set up traps, he never went there again. He was afraid of being caught by the officers and soldiers. You are not a bandit. If you fall into the hands of these people, you will probably shed your skin.

But Wen Yi was a little hungry today. Looking at the woman's sallow face, he felt even worse. The woman had never had a good day since she followed him.

Avoiding the large and small checkpoints, Wen Yi slowly climbed up the mountain along a cliff. The terrain here was difficult and difficult for ordinary people to climb up, but the officers and soldiers did not care about it.

It is difficult to enter the mountain, but once you enter the mountain, the sky is vast and there is no one to care about it. Wen Yi carried the lamb fork and walked slowly in the forest. Along the way, he found a lot of mountain wild vegetables. These days, even wild vegetables are rare to see outside. No one has anything to eat. I am digging wild vegetables. No matter how fast these wild vegetables grow, no one can eat them fast.

Wen Yi quickly packed up the bulging bag, and Wen Yi grinned happily. Even if he couldn't catch any prey today, by taking these things back, the woman could fill her belly.

There was a rustling sound in front of him, and Wen Yi walked over gently, peeling away the thick leaves. He was immediately happy when he saw a deer grazing leisurely. By killing this deer, the family would no longer have to worry about food for at least a month. Looking at the antlers on the deer's head, they were worth dozens of taels of silver. Wen Yi felt that God was so favoring him. The money to buy the land has been settled.

He lay on the ground and crawled forward bit by bit. Deer are very dexterous and agile beasts. He only has one chance to hit. If he misses the hit, he will never have another chance. In the mountains , I race with a deer, and I can’t catch up even if I run to death.

Wen Yi almost held his breath. The closer he got, the closer he got, and the sheep fork in his hand became tighter and tighter.

The deer seemed to have noticed something, and turned to look in the direction of Wen Yi. Its ears were twitching. Wen Yi knew he could wait no longer. He jumped up suddenly, holding the sheep fork high, and used all his strength. Using all his strength, he threw it forward, and almost at the moment he jumped up, the deer jumped up on the spot and rushed deep into the forest.

"Hit!" Wen Yi was so happy that he almost shouted out, but immediately, the smile froze on his face. The deer just jumped on the spot, and it happened to avoid the vital point. Dragging the sheep's fork, it jumped in all at once. into the jungle.

Wen Yi yelled and chased after him. This was the next ration for his family. The deer was injured and could not run far. Looking at the blood on the ground, Wen Yi quickly chased after it.

After turning around a few big trees, he saw his goat's fork falling on the ground. It seemed that while running, the goat's fork hit the tree and fell off the deer. He picked up the goat's fork and looked at the blood marks on it. , if it is dug deep enough, the deer will definitely not be able to run far.

Carrying the sheep fork and following the blood stains on the ground, Wen Yi chased after him.

He had long forgotten his intention not to go deep into Xang Er Mountain, but this pursuit only took a cup of tea. The deer's body became slower and slower, and its speed became slower and slower. On the contrary, Wen Yi became more and more energetic. Flying over a bush that was half a man tall, he saw that the deer finally fell down. Wen Yi was overjoyed, slowed down, put his hand on his chest, panted heavily, and slowly walked towards the deer. Go.

Damn it, it really killed me, but it was really worth it.

He straightened up, and then he saw two people turning around in front of the big trees where the deer had fallen.

Wen Yi suddenly froze. One of the two people he recognized was He Yong, the third son of the He family, the guy who became a bandit.

"Wen Yi!" He Yong obviously recognized him and shouted in surprise. "Why did you come into the mountain?"

Wen Yi swallowed hard and said, "Brother He." The breath he had been holding back suddenly dissipated. Wen Yi felt his legs soften and he sat down on the ground.

Both men were carrying knives. The one beside He Yong was taller and stronger, half a head taller than He Yong. He had a scar on his face and looked extremely vicious.

"My family has nothing to eat. I want to go into the mountains to try my luck." Wen Yi sat on the ground and pointed at the deer. It was over. Not only was the deer hopeless, but whether he could get out smoothly was still a question.

"Wen Yi, what is the situation outside now? We have been sealed in the mountains for less than half a year. The dog officers and soldiers have sealed the blockade tightly. We can't get out, but there is no news at all." He Yong walked to Wen Yi and pulled him away. He stood up, reached out and took out a water bag from his waist, and handed it to Wen Yi, "You must be very tired, drink some water."

Wen Yi took the water bag, but his eyes fell on the man next to him, and his whole body trembled a little.

"Don't be afraid, that's my brother. Even though he looks fierce, he is a good man." He Yong said with a smile.

"Brother He, you guys, how are you doing?" Wen Yi summoned up the courage to ask.

"Okay, why isn't it good? Now I'm thinking every day about how to get revenge on those dog officials!"

"Don't go to Third Brother. There are still thousands of officers and soldiers stationed in the county. Even around Xanthium Mountain, there are still many officers and soldiers guarding, pointing you out!" Wen Yi blurted out.

"Thank you Wen Yi, we can save it ourselves and won't take risks." He Yong laughed. (To be continued...)
