Wu Feng knew that the young master was in a dangerous situation. Fortunately, the duke escaped danger this time. Otherwise, he dared not imagine what the young master might do.
Meanwhile, Mo Lan has been lying low ever since she discovered that someone was spying on Qinglong Village.
It's obvious that it must be related to the ambush in the mountains. Although she cleaned up the mess, that place is still the closest to Qinglong Village.
If the other party wants to investigate, they will inevitably have to come here.
Fortunately, she didn't let that person die that day, otherwise it wouldn't have been spying.
The person who came was very tall, and after she reminded him, he left and never appeared again.
Just thinking about that green-faced fox made Mo Lan unable to help but complain. What a twisted fate! They've run into each other three times in just a few months.
Her life motto is to stay away from danger, and the first thing to do is stay away from the blue-faced fox!
After a few days of peace, she followed the fourth chieftain, Pang Yi, to White Tiger Cliff to deal with the followers in the back mountain and take over the farmland.
As Mo Lan had suspected, half of the more than one hundred people there wanted to leave and go back to find their families.
Mo Lan had no objection to this; she wouldn't go back on her promise, which she had made long ago.
As agreed, each person was given one string of cash to send them down the mountain.
What happens next is not her concern.
As for the fifty or so people who stayed behind, it wasn't that they didn't want to leave, but rather that they had been out for too long and were now homeless.
With Pang Yi's reassurance, those people, though uneasy, still settled down in the back mountain.
Seeing this sizable field, Pang Yi was overjoyed and immediately sent a group of people to help with farming, replenishing the manpower.
"With this land, we won't have to worry about going hungry in winter." Pang Yi walked around the area again and again, in an extremely good mood.
Mo Lan had nothing to say except to complain. The mountain bandits in the eyes of the people had become like this. What else was there to say?
“Lan, I see there’s a lot of open land around here. I’ll send all the unemployed people from the village over to cultivate the land. Next spring, we can plant crops. Then, even if we don’t buy grain, we can be self-sufficient.”
Pang Yi became more and more excited as he spoke, eager to get things done immediately.
Mo Lan stroked her ponytail and reminded her helplessly, "Fourth Uncle, before you send anyone over, the first thing you should consider is housing. If there aren't enough houses, are you going to make everyone live in the fields?"
"Uh... Lan is right, it's Fourth Uncle who's too anxious."
Pang Yi gave an awkward smile, paused for a moment, and then suddenly burst into laughter, "I should have sent people over to build houses first. Once we have a place to live, we can slowly cultivate the land."
"As long as Fourth Uncle is happy."
Mo Lan twitched her lips, wanting to remind him that they were mountain bandits and farming was just a side job.
Unfortunately, the fourth chieftain, who was engrossed in planning to build houses and farm, had already left in a hurry, leaving Mo Lan alone by the stream where the wind blew and leaves fell.
"Hehe~, what's wrong with Lan'er?"
With a soft laugh, Hua Fengyu emerged from the other side of the stone wall. It was rare to see a bewildered expression on the girl's face, and he couldn't help but want to laugh.
Seeing the boy suddenly appear, Mo Lan immediately regained her cool demeanor, "Why is Big Brother here?"
“I went over there for a walk and saw you and your fourth uncle here, so I came to check on you.”
As Hua Fengyu spoke, he pointed ahead and said, "I found a vacant lot there. It has excellent sunlight and everything. If it is cultivated, it will definitely be fertile land."
