Chapter 32 The Rise of the Little Village Girl (10)
That night, Su Zhan and Sister Li went to find Father Li and Mother Li with the little wolf cub in their arms.
After some further discussion, we finally decided to keep the little wolf cub.
While you are keeping the wolf cub, if there is a gathering of wolves around you, you must send the wolf cub away.
Su Zhan knew what the Li family were worried about, but unfortunately she couldn't explain clearly that the wolf disaster they were worried about would never exist from the beginning.
After tonight, this little white wolf will officially settle down in the Li family.
Because Su Zhan brought it back, the naming rights also fell into her hands.
Well, seeing how white it is, let’s call it white wolf, Su Zhan said truthfully.
Everyone in the Li family was speechless. He was originally a white wolf. What’s the difference between this name and the name he didn’t give?
Li Xiaoyu went back to Shanling Private School within two days. Su Zhan really wanted to go there and watch the fun between him and the little princess, but Li Xiaoyu usually lived in the private school, so how could the Li family trust her to live alone outside.
After Li Xiaoyu left, Lihua Village calmed down again, and a few months passed normally like this.
A few months later, winter came quietly, and the first snow of the year came quietly.
One morning, Su Zhan opened the window and looked out. She shrank her neck because of the cold wind. She rubbed her hands and couldn't help but feel a little surprised when she looked at the snow-capped scenery outside.
In the first two worlds, she lived in the city. Even if it snowed, it would not accumulate so thickly.
Especially in this remote village, the untraveled road is like a pure white picture, which is amazing.
Su Zhan folded her hands on the window edge, and the cold air carried the unique crisp breath of snowflakes into her nasal cavity. She took a deep breath and felt as if her entire chest had been purified.
"It's snowing, Mom and Dad, come out and watch the snow." A cheering female voice suddenly came from a house not far away.
The innocent and childlike young girls were delighted with the scenery in front of them, but the knowledgeable adults were sighing.
With such heavy snow, many people may freeze to death.
Their village is considered good. Under the leadership of the Li family, at least everyone has a surplus of food. It's just a matter of how much.
Normally no one would go out to do things in such heavy snow. After all, if something happened, it might destroy the whole family.
However, there are always some exceptions.
Camellia Village was also covered with ice and snow, but one family went out for activities early in the morning.
The old man, who was ragged and wrinkled, tremblingly held a shovel and rummaged through the ice and snow. He remembered that there should be a root of a plant here that could be eaten by humans.
"Grandpa, you go and rest first, and I'll dig." A thin figure suddenly rushed over from the side and snatched the shovel from the old man's hand.
This is a boy of eight or nine years old, his little face is red from the cold. He is obviously eight or nine years old, but he looks about the same age as a six or seven-year-old child.
"Xiao Bo, you go home, leave this place to grandpa, you just go back to the house and wait for food." The old man unhappily snatched the shovel back from his hand, and waved his hand vigorously.
Drive the grandson into the house.
The grandfather and grandson were arguing, and suddenly a group of people rushed over. One of the young men snatched the shovel directly from the old man's hand, "Uncle Lin, what are you doing here in this snowy day?"
Uncle Lin was silent for a moment, then changed the subject and said, "Why are you here?"
"Old Lin, you came out on such a snowy day. What if something happens, and you leave Xiaobo alone?" A white-haired old man in the crowd said angrily.
Uncle Lin then sighed and said, "It won't be clear for a while. There won't be enough food at home. My old man is useless, but I can't let Xiao Bo starve and freeze with me."
The villagers were silent for a moment. To be honest, their Camellia Village was indeed the poorest among the surrounding villages and towns.
In every household in the village, no one is rich, but at least the whole family is here. As for the old one and the young one in front of them, the old one has died of two sons and daughter-in-law, and the younger one has no father or mother since he was a child, so they depend on each other for life.
If in previous years, every household had something to eat, you could give some to them.
However, this year happened to be hit by a severe drought, and basically no crops were harvested. Life was difficult for everyone.
If you help the old and the young, your family will have to spend this New Year hungry.
The old man also knew that everyone was having a hard time, so he took the shovel from the young man's hand with a smile and said nonchalantly, "Don't pity me, a bad old man. Our grandfather and grandson are already well taken care of by you. Now this kind of
Time, how can I let you suffer together, just go back."
The villagers of Camellia Village looked at the old man swinging the shovel vigorously, with unbearable eyes flashing.
The young man gritted his teeth. He couldn't starve his children. At worst, the adults would tighten their belts this year. "Uncle Lin, I still have some food over there. Come back with me and I'll give it to you."
As soon as the young man's words came out, a villager immediately said in a few words, "I also have some at home. Uncle Lin, go to our house to get it."
Everyone was talking at once, and Uncle Lin's eyes turned red instantly, but the old man was very stubborn and could not drag down the villagers anymore.
Seeing that Uncle Lin could not be persuaded, someone immediately changed their goal.
"Uncle Lin, even if you don't think about yourself, you still have to look at Xiaobo."
"That is, no one can starve their children when they are hungry."
"Xiaobo is growing up now, so he can't go hungry."
A series of persuasion made Uncle Lin hesitate. His grandson was his weakness. He could go without food or drink, but he could not let his grandson starve with him.
"Xiao Bo, remember to repay everyone well in the future." Uncle Lin's eyes were wet, he followed the crowd and said quietly to his grandson.
Lin Bo nodded seriously. Although he was young, he understood the principle of repaying kindness in return.
Although such a village is poor, everyone's hearts are warm.
The people of Camellia Village had just brought Uncle Lin back to the village when they met a man from the village. The man was beaming with joy and rushed towards him, "Shanling Prince's Mansion, the people from Shanling Prince's Mansion are here."
Everyone was suddenly shocked. Their Camellia Village belonged to Baihua Town, and Baihua Town belonged to Shanling City. Shanling King was the fiefdom of Shanling King, and was the real owner of this land.
Why would such a big shot send people to their small village?
"This is a great event, please listen to me." The visitor took a deep breath, and then immediately said, "The young princess of Shanling Palace saw heavy snowfall, and thought about the severe drought this year, and the people did not have much surplus food, so this year's tax reduction
Half."
Within the vassal fiefdom, including taxes, the vassal king himself made the decision and was not included in the calculations of the court.
Originally, the taxes in Shanling City were lower than those in other places, so the taxes were halved, which naturally made the people even more happy.
"This is not over yet. The little princess has also specially assigned people to distribute relief food according to the actual situation of each village. Our Camellia Village happens to be on the list." The visitor said happily.
"Relief food?"
"Can our Camellia Village receive relief food?"
"Great, we are saved this winter."
Everyone cheered loudly. Before, they were thinking about tightening their belts for the winter this year, but in the blink of an eye, they heard such important news. How could it not be exciting?
"Thank you, little princess."
Many villagers who cried with joy even knelt down in public and bowed several times in the direction of Shanling Palace to express their inner gratitude.
There are many examples like Camellia Village. There are countless small villages under Shanling City, and many of them are even poorer than Camellia Village. The people there don't even have food to eat.
What the little princess did made countless people grateful, but she herself stood in the lobby of the palace and was being scolded.
"Do you know the consequences of what you did?" Sitting on the main seat was a middle-aged man dressed in black, with sharp eyes and an astonishing murderous aura all over his body.
He is the biological brother of the current Holy Emperor, the real owner of the Shanling Palace, and the biological father of the little princess Sikou, the Prince of Shanling - Sizhong.
However, this royal brother, who was rumored to be deeply trusted and favored by His Majesty, had an angry look on his face at the moment, as if he could draw a sword and kill someone at any time.
"Father, you are pretending too much." Facing this big shot in front of him, who could make the entire Shanling City tremble whenever he stamped his feet, Si Kou acted very calmly.
Si Zhong touched his face in embarrassment, and the anger he had just pretended disappeared immediately. "How did you see that I was just pretending?"
Si Kou glanced at her father with disdain. She was raised by King Shanling, so she naturally knew that the more angry her father was, the calmer he behaved.
The anger he showed just now was just disguised anger.
"Don't I understand you? If you were really angry, you wouldn't act so furious." Si Kou said with a smile.
"Ahem." Sizhong, who was completely seen through by his daughter, coughed awkwardly and tried to bring the topic back. "Don't change the subject. Do you know how the people of Shanling City will view our palace from now on?"
When it came to business, Si Kou became serious and said word by word, "They will naturally be grateful."
"Yes, but have you considered the consequences?" Sizhong said equally seriously.
"As time goes by, the people in Shanling City only know the King of Shanling and don't know about the Da Mo Dynasty." Si Kou was not afraid at all, and directly pointed out his father's worries, "Father, you are worried about the imperial court being jealous of me.
Does the good emperor have murderous intentions?"
"Since you know, why do you still do this?" Sizhong did not accuse his daughter of doing this, which would probably make him a thorn in that person's side.
