Chapter 365 Thousands of Households Under the Mountain
With a lot of people joining in, the work went faster. Everyone worked very energetically, and the lunch meal was also saved. Everyone rested on the top of the mountain and then continued working.
Fu Manman looked at the misty mountains in the distance, what was there in the depths?
In Black Wind Village, everyone in the Xingyue Gang was used to seeing her with such immense strength, but those who saw her for the first time were stunned and stunned.
Some people who may not be very convinced in their hearts are very convinced when they see Fu Manman with such magical power.
so amazing!
No wonder you can keep a tiger as a pet!
This fist can kill a tiger.
After being busy for a while, Fu Manman started chatting with the people around him.
Fu Manman asked: "Has anyone from your village ever entered that deep mountain?"
"No, but I heard from the villagers at the foot of the mountain that some villagers went to dig herbs in the mountains. They all went and never came back." Someone responded.
"By the way, little gang leader, I also heard from the old people in our village that there used to be people wearing white clothes in the deep mountains, coming in and out."
When Fu Manman heard this, he felt a little creepy, a man in white clothes in the deep mountains!
This is going to be haunted in broad daylight!
"You used to live at the foot of the mountain?" Fu Manman started chatting with the other party.
The woman said: "Yes, I used to be from Zhangjiawa down the mountain."
"Then why did you come to the cottage?" Fu Manman asked curiously.
Generally speaking, villagers are afraid of bandits. Unless the bandits go down the mountain to rob, usually no villager will go up the mountain to become a bandit.
"Actually, I was rescued up the mountain. If the village hadn't taken me in, I would have died long ago." The woman said with red eyes.
Then she told her story while working.
It turned out that she was the daughter of a farming family in Zhangjiawa, named Zhang Yan. Because of her good looks, she was attracted by the young cousin of a wealthy family in the village, and wanted to marry her home as a concubine.
The young cousin was famous in the local area for eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. Three or four women who came into his room were played to death.
I heard that they were all beaten to death. The young cousin was tall, strong and powerful. I heard that the adults of the thousand families won the championship in the past, and in the end they all relied on this young cousin.
This is how he got the fiefdom.
"I didn't want to get married, so I jumped into the river and committed suicide. Who would have thought that before I could die, I was washed into the ditch on the side of the village and was saved by the people in the village. I was afraid that I would bring trouble to my family when I went back.
I begged the village to take him in, little gang leader, the village master is really a good man, you must be nicer to the village master, no... Captain Sun should be nicer." Zhang Yan put in a good word for Sun Huai.
After hearing this, Fu Manman thought that the lives of the people at the foot of the mountain were not easy.
She took the opportunity to ask Zhang Yan about the situation at the foot of the mountain.
When she asked, it was similar to what she had learned from a peasant woman on the roadside before, and it was even more serious.
"Those thousands of households have the right to kill people at will. As long as there is disobedience, they can find any crime at will and arrest the whole family. So I simply died and I must not go back, otherwise my family
They will all be arrested, and their lives may be at risk."
"These thousand households have so much power!" Fu Manman was surprised.
Being able to kill people at will is really beyond the pale.
So the Zhongli family has sealed off these thousands of households but did not control them at all? If this is the case, this is really terrible.
"I don't know how big the power is, but I heard that even the county magistrate in the town is afraid of these thousands of adults!" Zhang Yan sighed.
Anyway, ordinary people like them have nowhere to go if they have grievances.
"I don't know if my parents are living well at the foot of the mountain." Zhang Yan's eyes turned red, thinking of her parents, and she couldn't help but shed tears.
Fu Manman comforted him and said, "Don't be sad. When we finish building this place, you can go down the mountain and pick your parents up."
"Really?" Zhang Yan's eyes lit up and she said excitedly: "Little gang leader, I can really bring my parents up the mountain."
"Well, of course!" Fu Manman said with a slight smile.
"Great, then I will work hard and keep working hard." Zhang Yan said excitedly.
Fu Manman was busy until about three o'clock in the afternoon and left. She was really exhausted from pulling out trees. She went back to see how Yuan Qi and the others were doing in the canteen.
When we returned to the village, it was much quieter than the previous few days.
A group of carpenters were busy hammering away.
There are also some children playing in the camp. Qiaoer and a few girls are leading these children.
When Fu Manman came over, he happened to see Qiaoer pouring water for Yuan Qi.
Although it was just a simple matter of pouring water, Fu Manman looked at the little eyes and small movements of the two people, and felt that there was something abnormal about the two of them.
"Ahem... Qiao'er, I'm so thirsty, please get me some water." Fu Manman shouted deliberately and loudly.
Qiaoer was about to hand the water to Yuan Qi when she quickly took it back and said, "I'll give it to the lady!"
"I...I haven't drank yet!" Yuan Qi looked sad. He was really not as important as the little gang leader.
Qiao'er held a bowl of water, ran up to Fu Manman, and said with a smile: "Miss, drink water."
Fu Manman was holding the bowl, then suddenly put it down and said, "Forget it, I'd better give this water to you, Brother Yuan, to drink first!"
Qiaoer's face turned red and she said angrily: "Miss, what are you talking about!"
As for her brother Yuan, she and Yuan Qi are just polite.
"Ah! Then he's not your Brother Yuan, what is he?" Fu Manman deliberately teased Qiao'er.
Not far away, when Yuan Qi heard Fu Manman's words, her delicate face turned red, and she immersed herself in pulling the saw with a whirring sound.
Fu Manman took out the thermos cup from his bag and said with a smile: "I brought my own water, you'd better go and deliver water to your brother Yuan."
Qiaoer stomped her feet angrily, then turned around and walked away with the bowl in hand, without giving Yuan Qi any water.
Yuan Qi watched helplessly, staring at Qiaoer's back, thinking that he still didn't have enough water to drink.
Fu Manman looked at the canteen in front of him. The wooden wall panels on both sides had been fastened up, and it had begun to take shape.
"Little Gang Leader, is it too much to open a window on top? It will not keep warm in winter." Yuan Qi has always had a problem with this window.
But because it was designed by the gang leader, he never dared to say it.
But today he started making windows, and the more he worked on it, the more he felt something was wrong.
Fu Manman was aware of this problem, so she deliberately left windows on it for daylighting, and these windows would all be installed with glass in the future, so she designed the windows in advance and went overboard first.
"Just follow my design. It makes sense for me to do this." Fu Manman couldn't take out the glass for use immediately.
There are people from Beiyang in this village. It is not suitable to take out rare things like glass now.
She will have to make a lot of money from this in the future!
"Okay, then I'll do it this way." Yuan Qi listened with full satisfaction.
