The villagers of Chengxi Village lined up one by one, got their meals, and then each found a wooden plank to lay on the ground and sat down.
I've been busy building the house these days and haven't had time to cook.
So we had to eat sitting on the wooden planks.
Looking at the ragged refugees before them, they couldn't help but feel a sense of pride.
Xiong Er stood tall and straight, head held high.
Every now and then, they would stomp on the wooden planks, making a thumping sound.
He wanted everyone to know that he was wearing official boots.
When Cuihua saw him like this, she was furious.
Yesterday, my son-in-law gave Xiong Er a brand new set of Ming Dynasty military uniform.
This made him extremely happy.
I always sleep with this outfit in my arms at night.
Cuihua wanted to get into bed, but he warned her.
They told me not to touch his clothes.
Around 3 a.m., I boiled water to take a bath, washed myself clean, put on my clothes, and waited to get to work.
Good heavens, it's seven o'clock to start work!
You still have four hours left, what clothes are you going to wear?
Cuihua covered her head and turned away.
She really didn't want to see that bastard anymore.
It's infuriating to look at.
The refugees looked on with envy as they saw Xiong Er standing arrogantly on the wooden plank eating.
Especially the children who weren't wearing shoes, they all tucked their feet in.
Seeing Xiong Er's appearance, Li Chang'an spoke to Zhao Hu.
"Tiger, take Xiong Er's shoes off for me."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Hu smiled and shouted loudly.
"Yes, sir!"
Xiong Er looked at Li Chang'an, and his smug face immediately fell.
"Young master, no, I..."
Before he could finish speaking, Zhao Hu pushed him to the ground and took off his shoes.
"Don't you like stomping your feet? Come on, show everyone how to stomp your feet."
Li Chang'an calmly directed Zhao Hu and the others to carry Xiong Er to the middle of the crowd and throw a wooden board in front of him.
"Come on, stomp, stomp louder than before."
"If it's not as loud as it was just now, you don't need to eat dinner tonight."
"Hahaha."
The surrounding auxiliary soldiers laughed when they saw Xiong Er's aggrieved look.
The villagers of Chengxi Village dared not utter a sound, all keeping their heads down, not even daring to eat.
She was afraid of making any noise and attracting her son-in-law's attention.
Those auxiliary soldiers didn't know Li Chang'an, but they did.
Every time her son-in-law got angry, he always had a calm expression on his face.
If the son-in-law starts yelling and cursing, they are not afraid.
If the son-in-law looks calm, then he is definitely really angry.
Sure enough, upon hearing the auxiliary soldiers laughing, Li Chang'an glanced sideways and looked over.
The auxiliary soldiers could no longer laugh.
The village was eerily quiet.
Apart from the crackling of burning firewood, there was no other sound.
"Smile, why aren't you smiling anymore?"
No one dared to answer, not even Murong Hongxue, who was at the terrestrial immortal realm.
They all quietly hid behind Laifu, silently chanting in their hearts.
"You can't see me, you can't see me, you can't see me!"
Li Chang'an's face grew increasingly gloomy, but he spoke calmly.
"Zhao Hu".
"yes!"
Zhao Hu, quick-witted, straightened his back, raised his head, and loudly responded.
"Now, I'm going to tell you a few rules that everyone must follow, and you should remember them."
"Those who commit adultery, kill them!"
"Those who oppress and beat the people without cause shall be killed!"
"Those who use grain or money to buy children shall be killed!"
"Those who steal or rob money, kill them!"
"Those who bully the weak, kill them!"
"Those who embezzle or misappropriate funds shall be executed!"
"Those who bully others without cause shall be killed!"
"From now on, you'll be in charge of these rules, understand?"
Li Chang'an only stopped after issuing seven kill orders in a row.
Zhao Hu looked at him with excited eyes, his whole body trembling: "Yes! Zhao Hu swears to protect you with his life, even if it means going through fire and water!"
Among the auxiliary soldiers, several looked at Zhao Hu with strange expressions upon hearing this.
"Laifu, register them and see which of these migrants are willing to stay and work in our Chengxi Village. Arrange accommodation and bedding for them."
"For those who are unwilling, give them some food and have someone send them back."
Not a single refugee was willing to leave.
At first I didn't believe it, but now I see so many steamed buns and rice laid out in front of me.
They didn't want to leave.
What if, what if there really is work to do?
Some of the migrants had sharp eyes and spotted some houses that were only half-built when they arrived.
I had a pretty good idea of what was going on.
Perhaps the village chief genuinely needed manpower to build houses, which is why he asked them to come and help with the work.
Laifu went around asking each person, registering their names, and arranging accommodations for them.
When it was the little girl's turn, she was a little nervous and accidentally knocked over the bowl hidden under the blanket, spilling the porridge and milk powder.
Seeing the grain spilled on the ground, Xiaocao squatted down, feeling somewhat helpless.
Use your hands to put the grain into the bowl.
The surrounding refugees dared not help her; instead, they kept their distance.
Seeing the little girl's helpless expression, Li Chang'an walked over.
The refugees along the way made way and knelt down on the ground.
This person is clearly the most important person here.
They are naturally somewhat afraid of these important people.
The little grass was bowing its head to collect grain when it suddenly noticed a pair of big feet on the ground.
Looking up, I saw the village chief approaching.
