Chapter 281 The Chief of Mengjia Village Arrives
Gu Xiaoxi and the others finally pulled the things into the village, and Xiaomu hurried to find the old patriarch.
Chief Quan didn't expect them to come back so soon, so he asked his son to wake up the villagers immediately.
Uncle Geda also got up when he heard the noise and followed the old patriarch to see what was going on.
The people in the village were all delighted to see that they had brought back so many good things.
"Okay, let Miss Xiaoxi and the others have a good breakfast and then go to rest." Patriarch Quan said happily.
"Yes, yes, let everyone rest. They have been on the road since yesterday afternoon and have nothing to do all night!" Aunt Shui just heard what Xiao Mu said.
I heard that everyone didn't sleep all night, so several aunts went to the kitchen to get busy.
After a while, many tables were set up on the open space, and Gu Xiaoxi and the others had breakfast.
Looking at these open spaces, Gu Xiaoxi thought that they should build a shed here so that the children would have a place to play when it rains.
After breakfast, they were urged to rest.
When Gu Xiaoxi woke up in the afternoon, she got up, washed up, and went out.
When she went out, she found that there were only old people in the village, so she went up to ask them.
Then they had a conversation that made no sense, and were finally taken out of the village by an old lady.
Gu Xiaoxi then realized that everyone was in the field, so she just asked the old lady to go back and she would go and take a look herself.
The old lady didn't understand what Gu Xiaoxi said and was just guessing. When she saw that she guessed correctly, she smiled in a very happy mood.
When Gu Xiaoxi arrived at the field, he found that half of the land that had been previously designated had been opened up, and the speed was very fast.
Although the old patriarch Quan is old and cannot get out of bed, he still sits by and serves tea and water to everyone.
Gu Xiaoxi walked over to the old patriarch and squatted down.
"Why did you get up so soon? You should sleep a little longer!" said the old patriarch Quan as he poured a glass of water for Xiaoxi.
Gu Xiaoxi took a sip. It was spring water from the mountains. It was sweet and refreshing, soothing to the throat and tasted great.
"Sit down and talk," said the old patriarch Quan.
Gu Xiaoxi moved a large bench from under the tree and sat down. Then he said to the old tribe leader Quan, "Since our village has expanded, I thought of enclosing all this land inside the village. That way, we don't have to worry about someone stealing our food at night."
"Is it okay?" Patriarch Quan was very excited after hearing this.
He had this idea when he came to see the place that day, but he didn't have the ability to do it, and he was too embarrassed to ask Gu Xiaoxi.
"Of course, I'll fix it for you and teach you the method." Gu Xiaoxi felt that this was a small matter for her.
"Xiaoxi, I don't know how to thank you. You have thought of everything for us." Patriarch Quan was really grateful for what Miss Xiaoxi had done for them.
Gu Xiaoxi smiled calmly: "This is our fate. I pay a lot of attention to fate, so don't take it too seriously.
Besides, if you guys settle down, I can go into the mountains and have enough food to eat and a safe place to live, which will be convenient for me."
Chief Quan really likes this little girl more and more. It's a pity that they are a dwarf tribe, otherwise he really wants to make her his daughter-in-law.
"Okay, I will never let you go hungry next time you come." He laughed out loud after hearing this.
Gu Xiaoxi smiled and said something to the old patriarch. Then she rolled up her sleeves and went to help in the fields.
As the sun sets and everyone returns to the village after finishing their work, someone goes to report to the old patriarch.
"Old patriarch, the patriarch of Mengjiazhai is here." The clan member reported.
After hearing this, the old clan leader Quan muttered, "We haven't had much contact with Mengjiazhai in recent years. At most, we just held a market. What is he doing here?"
"Old patriarch, could it be that they saw Sister Xiaoxi and the others pushing a lot of things in this morning, and they came in for those things?" Da Mu immediately thought in this direction.
Clan leader Quan felt that this was most likely the reason, and he immediately became defensive.
Seeing how nervous all the old clan leaders were, Gu Xiaoxi said, "Old clan leader, there's no need to be so hostile. Let's see what they're up to first before making a decision."
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Patriarch Quan nodded and asked someone to invite the patriarch of Mengjiazhai in.
Two people came to Mengjiazhai, both holding prey in their hands. It was obvious that they came with sincerity.
Patriarch Quan looked at the two middle-aged men in surprise and frowned.
A man and a woman came and bowed. The man said, "Father Quan, I am Meng Qi's son, the Meng family. This is my sister, the Meng daughter. My father injured his leg while hunting half a year ago and his health is not that good, so he let me become the clan leader."
The old clan leader stepped forward and looked at the boy carefully. After a while, he nodded and said, "So it's you, kid. You've grown a little beard. I almost didn't recognize you.
Your father is a few years younger than me. He was in high spirits when we met a year ago. Even if he was injured, it shouldn't be that serious, right?"
"Well, to be honest, my father was poisoned by a snake. The witch doctor arrived a little late and he almost lost his life." Meng Jia said sadly.
The daughter of the Meng family!
The older generation in their family is really good at naming. This name is so domineering!
Gu Xiaoxi heard these two names and almost couldn't help laughing.
"Alas, I am old and will suffer if I get a serious illness." The old patriarch sighed helplessly.
Gu Xiaoxi asked without hesitation, "How far is your village from here?"
The two Meng siblings turned their heads to look at Gu Xiaoxi, and Meng's daughter replied, "Miss, we are not far from here. We are over the mountain next to us and halfway up the mountain behind us."
Gu Xiaoxi thought about it and felt that it was not far away. It was probably because of the concern about the dragon snake that they did not dare to come here before. Now that the dragon snake has been killed, this place has become a Feng Shui treasure land.
If this is the case, Quanjia Village may not be completely safe here, because facing four large villages, it has no advantage except this formation.
After the old patriarch finished his sigh, he asked directly, "What is the matter with you guys coming here this time?"
"Ever since that dragon snake appeared, no one dares to come in from outside.
Things are scarce in the mountains, and my people saw this girl and her friends pushing a lot of stuff in. To be honest, we just wanted to see if there was anything you wouldn't trade with us?" The Meng family explained their purpose.
Before the old patriarch could speak, the little guy started shouting, "No, no, we don't even have enough for ourselves, how can we have any extra for you?
You all know how dangerous it was when that dragon snake appeared, and you didn't come down the mountain to help us. If it weren't for Miss Xiaoxi and her friends who helped kill the dragon snake, we don't know when it would have devoured our entire clan.
Now that the dragon snake has been killed, you are willing to come down the mountain, and you have taken all the good things."
