Chapter 149 Cave Village
When the people who were about to enter the city heard this voice, their hearts skipped a beat.
At this time, a man in armor, probably a commander, walked out of the city.
He had a full beard and looked at everyone with sharp eyes. "You guys are coming from Liangzhou City, right? What's the situation in Liangzhou City?"
"Commander Zheng, Da Gan's army was at the gates of the city, and later I heard that Da Gan's general was killed."
Qin Lao Er said quickly.
Obviously, he knew the person in front of him.
"Well, Qin Lao Er, you can take these people directly to Yandong Village. There's no need to enter the city. The situation is not good right now, so I won't let you enter. When you come back, give me their list, and I'll pass it on to the governor to exonerate them!"
Commander Zheng looked at everyone with sharp eyes.
Everyone quickly lowered their heads, not daring to look him in the eye.
"But……"
Qin Lao Er frowned slightly, "But that cave village is covered with rocks. How can they survive there?"
In the past, when he came to report for work, he would wait for the high officials in the city to assign him a task, and then he would be escorted to the assigned village by himself and others.
This Yandong Village is the most remote and poorest village in the entire Hanzhou City.
There are rocks everywhere, so the locals can only live off the land and go to the mountains to find food every day.
"Let them live the same way others live. They're just a bunch of exiles, so it's no big deal if they die. Isn't there a barren mountain over there? We can just give it to them when the time comes!"
Commander Zheng waved his hand impatiently and told them to leave quickly.
Qin Laoer sighed helplessly, handed the list of exiles in his arms to Commander Zheng, and took them towards Yandong Village.
"What's going on? Judging from your appearance, Cave Village shouldn't be a good place to go, right?"
Qiao Qiqi asked as she looked at Qin Laoer's sad face.
"Yes, this Yandong Village is the worst village in Hanzhou City. There is no place for farming. The locals rely on the wild vegetables, fruits and wild animals in the mountains for their livelihood."
Qin Lao Er sighed, "Every day, many villagers die in the mouths of wild beasts, or are mauled to death by wild boars that come down the mountain. Many people also starve to death in the heavy snow in winter."
Qiao Qiqi was slightly surprised, "Is there such a miserable place?"
"Otherwise, why would it be called the Bitter Cold Land? And this Cave Village is the bitter coldest of the bitter cold lands. Those who have been exiled to that village over the years have basically been on the verge of death!"
Qin Lao Er glanced at Pei Shaoling and said, "However, I believe that with the ability of the prince, he will be able to take you away from that damn place soon!"
Pei Shaoling listened indifferently without saying anything.
Qiao Qiqi was wondering whether the sweet potatoes and potatoes in her space could grow in a place full of stones.
"By the way, the commander just now said that he would assign us a barren mountain. Is that barren mountain also made entirely of rocks?"
"That's not the case. The barren mountain is actually a mountain where wild beasts roam. He means that you can live off the mountain. However, there should be some land at the foot of the mountain that can be cultivated for planting. It's just very troublesome."
Qin Lao Er explained, "Actually, there's soil underneath the rocks in Yandong Village that can be used for planting. It's just that people are too lazy to move the rocks away. After all, it's a huge project."
Qiao Qiqi nodded gently, "Okay, then I know what to do."
She got a lot of seeds in Youzhou City and put them in the space. As long as she cultivated the land at the foot of the mountain, she could plant them.
However, she couldn't handle such a thing alone.
Looking at the men and women behind Pei Shaoling, there is strength in numbers, so there should be no problem.
Afterwards, Qin Laoer led everyone to Yandong Village.
It was almost noon when we arrived at the cave village.
Unexpectedly, the cave village was very close to the dark forest!
Just climb over two hills and you will reach the vast and mysterious dark forest.
At the entrance of Yandong Village, the village head, who had received the news long ago, stood far away waiting for the exile team.
When Qin Lao Er led everyone to the village entrance, Zheng Zheng glanced at the exiled team indifferently.
Then he smiled and bowed to Qin Lao Er, "Master Qin, long time no see!"
"Yes, Li Zheng Sun, these are the exiled people. The five people pushing the carts behind are refugees who fled together. They followed along."
Qin Lao Er said, "Now it's up to you to arrange it!"
"I've already received the news. Leave the rest to me! Sir Qin, I've already prepared a table of food and am waiting for you!"
Sun Lizheng stepped forward with his palm facing upwards.
Then he looked at a sturdy young man behind him and said, "Dazhu, take the others to the foot of that barren mountain!"
"Is there a place to rest at the foot of the mountain?"
Qin Lao Er glanced at Pei Shaoling who was lowering his head in the team and asked softly.
"There are a few simple thatched houses left by previous people. Those people were attacked by wild boars coming down from the mountains. If they go, it would be best to rebuild some stable stone houses with stones."
Sun Lizheng thought about it and suggested.
"Well, wait a minute, I'll go put on their shackles and bracelets first!"
Qin Lao Er quickly removed the restraints on everyone.
"Come on, I'll take you there!"
The young man named Dazhu said to Qiao Qiqi and the others, "Follow me!"
And there they were, taking Qin Lao Er, An Lei, Anyian and An Xuan, who were all dressed as officials, to the headman's house.
Sure enough, Yandong Village was covered with stones, and everyone followed Dazhu to their destination with difficulty.
Soon, they arrived at the foot of the barren mountain that the village head had mentioned!
At the foot of the barren mountain, a clear stream flows through the foot of the mountain.
The rocky ground beside the stream is the foot of the mountain, with several dilapidated thatched houses built on it.
Some thatched houses are already half collapsed!
Fortunately, it hasn’t rained for more than a month, otherwise this thatched house would not be able to withstand the wind and rain!
The big pillar brought people here and then turned and left.
Qiao Qiqi finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Let's get some food first! After we finish eating, we'll clean up this thatched hut and then get ready to build the stone house!"
"As for building a stone house, I think we should find the village head and ask him to recommend some people who can build a house."
Pei Shaoling looked around and said softly.
Then, he looked at the Zhao family and the second and third branches of the Pei family not far away, "Now that you have arrived in this bitter cold place, there will be no officials to cook for you in the future. You can do whatever you want!"
"Nephew, we have nothing. How are you going to let us live?"
Uncle Pei complained, then looked at Aunt Zhou and the others who were carrying rice and flour from the ox cart to cook and said, "Why don't you take out the rice and flour and share it among us?"
