Heita's expression froze, and he repeatedly promised not to say anything more. He then ran away like a thief with the salt in his arms.
Lin Rui and Sanliang happily led the nomadic people's oxen back to the wasteland. The team of three oxen caused a stir after they returned. Many people thought that the oxen were allocated to them by the Xing family army to open up the wasteland. They were happy and ready to line up to take the farming time. In the end, they were told that the oxen were bought by the people themselves.
It is naturally impossible to give the cow you bought to others, and others can only watch and envy you.
Lin Changxi had not expected that he would be scrutinized from all sides as soon as he arrived at the field. Even Lin Zijun and Lin Ziming had put down their work and looked at the patriarch and the two cows that Sanliang had brought back with surprise.
Lin Changfa and Lin Changtai also looked at it in surprise: "Chief, where did you get this? Can it be used to cultivate the land?"
Lin Rui patted the plowing equipment on the ox cart: "Should... be able to." Heita said that this ox can even plow the frozen soil on the grassland, so plowing the soil on their wasteland should not be a problem.
In order to avoid not having enough plows for their own use, he and Sanliang went to the border market to buy plows. With these tools, they would be able to get twice the result with half the effort.
Lin Changhe, under Zhang Dacui's hint, asked hesitantly: "Chief, when your family has finished using this cow, can you..."
Before he finished speaking, Lin Rui understood what he meant: "Of course, after my family finishes plowing the land, these two cows can be used by the uncles and aunts in turn. But you have to provide the fodder for the oxen!"
Lin Changhe and Lin Changtai said happily, "Of course, of course."
The Lin family already had two cows that were eye-catching enough, but what was even more surprising was that the family that owned the cows was reluctant to use the two big blue cows because they were heroes who had accompanied them in fleeing famine. They were unwilling to use them even if everyone paid the rental fee, and they kept the two cows in the cowshed and provided them with good food and drink.
After all, if you don't use it, we can't use it either, and we all start from the same starting point.
As a result, the head of the human family went to the market and came back with two cows. These two cows were genuine oxen from other races. They were the cows they saw across the Huangmo River every day. Today, the head of the Lin family actually got them.
This would destroy the balance. The Lin family would definitely be ahead in speed, and they would have taken all the rewards from the Xing family army. How many cows would they have gotten by then? Five cows?
It can be a landlord no matter where it is placed, right?
Isn't it said that cattle from other races are ridiculously expensive, and only wealthy families in the border areas can afford them? How come the Lin family, who all fled famine, have prospered so quickly and now own four cows?
After Lin Rui and San Liang brought back the two foreign cows, everyone in the Lin family was secretly happy. With the cows, they could save a lot of labor and people would have to suffer less.
Ermao, Mutou and others would lie down in the cowshed and count again before going to bed at night, for fear that one was lost.
Zheng Si and his brothers, who had previously attempted robbery and caused the death of Boss Lei, were also assigned here. Now they are under the jurisdiction of the Xing family army, and they no longer have the courage to kill or burn people. His hands and feet were covered with blisters from the land reclamation during this period. He either ate taro or stale rice all day long, and his hiccups and acid reflux were all filled with this foul smell. What he misses most now are the rice and meat he and his brothers ate on the road to escape the famine.
Mirou is the slang used by Zheng Si and others. The meat that grows from eating rice is called mirou, which actually means human flesh.
Whenever Zheng Si thought about how he almost lost his life at the hands of the Lin family, he would get so angry. Why did he and his brothers have such a hard life, yet they could still get four cows!
"Brothers, the time for revenge has come!"
Zheng Si was talking to the mob around him. The other brothers also saw Lin Rui and the others. Thinking of how badly Lin Rui's servants beat people and how they had been beaten and fled in disgrace the last time they tried to catch them, they couldn't help but feel a little scared. "Zheng Si, let's just be quiet. This isn't a place to escape famine. Killing someone doesn't mean you have to pay for it. The Xing Family Army is very strict about rules. If we cause trouble, we'll suffer the consequences later."
Zheng Si sneered: "Making trouble? Why should we make trouble? If we can't kill them, why don't we just make their lives miserable?"
"you mean?"
"You'll know soon enough."
Lin Rui was woken up by the urge to urinate at night, and hurriedly looked for a place to relieve himself. As a result, when he passed by his own cowshed, he heard a rustling sound.
"Is this even possible? Don't give them rations for their cattle."
"It will definitely work. No animal in my hometown can survive eating this hemp grass. They will vomit and have diarrhea and won't survive for more than a few days."
"Then I threw it in!"
Lin Rui realized instantly that their cow had taken notice! He immediately calmed down and shouted, "Who! Who's here?"
The noise woke up the already quiet Lin family members at night. Zheng Si saw that the matter was exposed and immediately ran away to the dark area.
But this time he was not so lucky. He was pounced on by Sanliang and pinned down. He was almost crushed to death without even being able to breathe.
The other five or six brothers who committed evil with him were caught by Lin Ziming and Lin Zijun who came to help. They were beaten one by one and made them squat down and hold their stomachs and wail.
Lin Rui originally thought it was just some people with red eye who came to poison their cattle because they had so many. Human nature is unpredictable! Besides, it's normal for people to be jealous.
As a result, looking at Zheng Si who was brought back by San Liang, he couldn't help but sneer: "What a narrow road for enemies to cross!"
Cao'er and her son, who were awakened, saw that Zheng Si's eyes were red with anger. They immediately found a wooden stick, took a few steps forward and hit Zheng Si on the face and body with the stick. Cao'er and her son followed Lin Rui and others to eat and drink, and gradually grew from a skeleton into a human again. Their strength returned to their bodies. They hated the enemy who killed their son so much that they wanted to eat his flesh alive. The sticks they held left afterimages when they swung them.
Zheng Si's other accomplices were also beaten badly. After all, this group of people came for their Lin family. Trying to steal Qingqing was a slap in the face of their Lin family. If they caught him today, they would be beaten to a pulp even if they didn't die.
Zheng Si and the others had distinct red marks on their faces, some of which were bleeding under the skin. They screamed and howled, saying they would never dare to do it again.
Lin Rui wanted to beat them to death, but Lin Pingmao said, "Chief, let's hand these people over to the Xing family army. If we execute them privately, even if we are right, we will be wrong."
Lin Rui knew that his great-grandfather was right. The system under the Xing family army was strict and all disaster victims had to abide by it. As long as no one in the Lin family had reached the level to influence this system, they could only lie dormant.
Thinking of the tragic death of Daniu, Lin Rui would not take this matter lightly: "Dad, will someone from the Xing Family Army come to check on the progress of the land reclamation tomorrow?"
