After a while, everyone saw the people talking.

He was wearing the same coarse cotton jacket and grey rabbit fur hat as the old man before, but compared with these people, the old man had fewer patches on his clothes.

"Oh, there are so many young people. Our village can finally be proud of itself!" said a toothless old woman with a smile.

The old man next to her smiled and stroked his beard when he heard this, his joy was beyond words.

"Everyone, don't stand in the wind. It hurts your faces. Let's go to the village ancestral hall first. There is a big place there and it can accommodate everyone." The old man said with a smile.

Ma Wencai looked at the old man in confusion and whispered to Li Yichang beside him, "Since he knew it was cold outside, why didn't he take us into the ancestral hall at the beginning, but called a group of people over instead?"

Li Yichang glanced at the old man and said softly, "He must have a reason for doing this."

Ma Wencai looked at Li Yichang and snorted coldly, "I really listened to your words."

However, Ma Wen soon understood why the old man asked these ladies to come over.

"Girls, where are you from?"

"Oh, Beijing, it's so far away. It's really not easy. When you have rested well, come to my house for dinner. My cooking skills are really good."

"What? You're already fifty-two? I can't tell. I really can't tell. I'm two years younger than you. We look like a generation apart."

…

The old man asked these ladies to come over, firstly to find out more about their background through conversation and see if there was anything unusual, and secondly to let everyone feel the enthusiasm of the village.

"We're here. This is the ancestral hall of our village." The old man changed his smile and there seemed to be some sadness in his eyes. After he finished speaking, he walked in first.

Everyone followed the old man and walked into the ancestral hall.

This ancestral hall is indeed very large and can accommodate hundreds of people from the exile team. After entering the hall, the most eye-catching thing is the rows of tablets.

The surnames on these tablets are numerous and complex, far exceeding the capacity of an average village.

The old man sighed as he looked at the tablets. He introduced: "These are the people who left our village. They all died in the war.

In order to express gratitude for their dedication, the village specially set up a memorial tablet, hoping that they would be reborn into a good family."

If the initial exile team heard these words, they would probably hug each other, tremble in fear, and try to find a way to escape from here.

But now, they have defeated the horse bandits and fought the evil guys with real guns and swords, so naturally they are not as brave as before.

After hearing the old man's words, they expressed their respect and reverence for the tablets, without a trace of regret or fear on their faces.

The old man felt relieved when he saw this. It seemed that those who came this time were brave and courageous people.

He smiled and said to everyone, "I am the head of Heiyu Village. My last name is Lin. Usually everyone calls me Old Lin. You can call me that too.

You have seen the situation in our village. Now there are only some old, weak, sick and disabled people left. If you don’t regret it and really want to settle down here, I will arrange a place for you to live now.”

Xu Jinhuan smiled and said, "Lin Lizheng, when we chose Black Fish Village, we already knew the situation here, so we won't regret it."

Lin Lizheng laughed out loud when he heard this, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes, "Okay, okay!"

He then continued, “There are actually quite a few empty houses in our village, but some have fallen into disrepair and have collapsed.

There are about ten rooms available for accommodation now. You can come with me to have a look and we can discuss how to live there later."

In this way, Xu Jinhuan and others followed Lin Lizheng to look at the empty houses in Heiyu Village.

"Lin Lizheng, these houses are all good. Let's discuss how to divide them. Once we're sure, I'll have someone report to you." Xu Jinhuan said with a smile.

Lin Lizheng smiled and stroked his beard, "No problem, you don't need to rush. This house has not been occupied for a long time, so it must be cleaned up.

The weather is cold now, and you just arrived without any firewood, so go get some from me later. It’s hard to endure the winter without a warm bed.”

Xu Jin agreed with a smile and thanked him repeatedly.

After seeing Lin Lizheng off, Xu Jinhuan started talking about her arrangements. She looked at the men in the team and said.

"It won't be long before the conscription order comes out, so you should stay with your family for now."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Xie Datou and said, "Datou, you should bring your men to the military camp with you. When the time comes, don't have any contact with Li Yichang and the others. Try your best to win the trust of General Hu."

"Yes, boss!" Xie Datou replied respectfully.

He then looked at An Er and the other secret guards, "Each village has a limited number of conscription spots. Only half of you need to go to the military camp, and the rest will stay to protect the safety of the village.

Those who stayed behind to protect the village lived in the empty house at the entrance of the village, and the rest lived with Wang Manshan and his men. "

"Yes, boss!" the secret guards answered in unison.

Xu Jinhuan quickly arranged accommodation for everyone and then began to arrange logistical matters.

"After we move everything, the women will be in charge of cleaning the house and making leather clothes, and the men will go up the mountain to chop firewood. We should try to chop enough wood for the winter before we are drafted.

If you don't want your wife and children to freeze, work hard to chop wood, do you hear me?"

"We heard it!" everyone responded in unison.

After they left, Xu Jinhuan said to Li Xiaoxiao beside him.

"Xiaoxiao, my sister is going on a long trip. If everything goes well, she will be back tonight. If something delays her, it may take a few days. Please tell everyone for me."

Li Xiaoxiao was a little surprised when she heard this. She asked with concern, "Sister Xu, is this trip dangerous for you? Do you want to bring Big Head Brother and the others with you?"

Xu Jinhuan smiled and patted Li Xiaoxiao's head, "Don't worry, I'm very powerful. Ordinary people can't even get close to me."

Then Xu Jinhuan walked a few steps to the side, waved at Li Xiaoxiao, and disappeared in front of her in a flash.

At the same time, a woman suddenly appeared in the backyard of a grain shop in the capital.

The moment Xu Jinhuan arrived in the capital, he took out a disguise mask from the space and changed into the same appearance as when he bought the grain shop.

"Boss, you're here?" the grain shop clerk shouted enthusiastically.

Xu Jinhuan smiled and nodded, "How is the business in the store recently?"

The waiter said proudly, "Since we started selling conscience food, our business has never been bad. Some people even travel across the capital to support our business."

After listening to the clerk's report for a while, Xu Jinhuan left the grain shop. She did not return to Beijing for such a small matter.

She wanted to kill Lei Tingjun with her own hands to end this ridiculous farce.
