Chapter 129 An unexpected gain
After hearing what the old village chief said, Li Lanzhen suddenly understood what Han Mingjiang had warned him about.
Her heart sank and her face darkened.
Just when he was about to say a few words, Han Shunde and Han Zhaoxiong, who were following the old village chief, immediately pulled the old village chief.
Han Shunde took a step forward and said.
"Sister-in-law, you are so lucky, you are not injured, right?"
Li Lanzhen still glanced at the old village chief with a cold face, "My arm is injured."
Then, pointing to Xue Lao Hu and the other two behind him, he said, "The three of them also suffered different injuries.
These big guys were so powerful that it was not easy for us to catch them. It took us more than an hour to tame them.
Fortunately, Xue and his son Xue Bao had been running around in the mountains for many years and were familiar with the habits of wild animals. They were able to tame the wild boars and cattle a little and drove them down the mountain.
He turned around and pointed at a group of wild boars and bison, "These bison and boars, we are thinking..."
Li Lanzhen hadn't finished speaking when Han Shunde quickly continued.
“If you are injured, go home quickly, bandage it, and have a good rest.
Where do you want to pen the wild boars and bison? If there is no pen, we will help you build one.
If you don’t have time to collect grass for the pigs or herd cattle, we can also ask the children in the village to help.”
After hearing what he said, Li Lanzhen suddenly laughed and thought to herself, this Han Shunde still has some brains. This is good. As long as he is not greedy and does not take the food, cotton quilts and seeds I took out for granted, this is good. It will be easier to do things in the future. It seems that I still have to be a little selfish in the future.
Just as Xue Lao Hu and Han Mingjiang said, I had already given them food during the journey to escape famine so that they could get through the difficult times. Now that I came here, I gave so much food and cotton quilts for the winter, farm tools, and seeds to the village free of charge. This is enough, let's stop here.
Then he continued, "Yes, we are thinking of keeping them in captivity and taming them a little. When they are more docile, we will raise them as livestock, and they can also help us to cultivate the land."
After Han Shunde said this, the old village chief immediately realized that there was something wrong with his words.
In fact, he didn't intend to take these wild boars and buffaloes as the property of the village, but Li Lanzhen was used to giving them to the village, so he blurted it out.
Habits are really scary!
At this time, he patted his head and said to Li Lanzhen in annoyance.
"Lan Zhen, don't be angry with me, I am confused because of happiness, but I am not old and confused yet.
You have made so much contribution to our Wangyou Valley!
You helped us on the way to escape famine, so I won’t say more about that. Now that we have arrived at the Forget-Your-Trouble Valley, we rely on the rich mountains.
You gave us so much food, cotton quilts for the winter, food, seeds, farm tools, and cows and donkeys for free.
We are so grateful that how could we be so greedy as to take possession of these wild boars and cattle that you sacrificed your lives for!"
Then he turned around and spoke loudly to the villagers of Wangyou Valley who came to watch the fun.
"Villagers of Wangyou Valley, I was confused just now and said something wrong. I hope you will not be confused. Look at the life now. Even in Hanjia Village, there is no such comfortable life. These are all brought to you by Lan Zhen.
I won’t say that she is a lucky star here, but everyone should know and remember the kindness Li Lanzhen has shown us!
We should be grateful and repay the kindness given to us by Lan Zhen and not take it for granted to enjoy the supplies that Lan Zhen has given us.
So from now on, whoever finds the plants and animals in the mountains owns them! Live as well as you can, don't be jealous of others!
Except for hunting activities organized by the village, the prey harvested from hunting can be shared with everyone, but at other times, the prey harvested from hunting by each household belongs to itself. "
Han Shunde also continued, "That's right. In fact, this rule has been mentioned before, but my father brought it out and said it again today. Of course, we all know that everyone in Wangyou Valley is grateful, hardworking and kind."
Now, all the men, women, young and old around say that what the old village chief said was right, and they all remember the help Li Lanzhen had given them.
Li Lanzhen saw that the old village chief and his son said so, and everyone in the village agreed. She felt relieved and looked around the crowd again.
I saw that everyone’s faces were filled with joy and happiness, and there was no jealousy or desire to possess the things for themselves.
He also laughed and said to the old village chief, "Old village chief, you are right, we live off the mountains and the water, there are so many treasures in this mountain.
However, we left our hometown and fled all the way here, and we lost our chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, sheep and other poultry and livestock, so I thought about giving one of the wild boars and bison we caught today to the villagers."
After thinking for a while, he looked at several of his relatives, and finally, he looked at Xue Lao Hu and nodded.
Li Lanzhen added, "We decided to give the village a cow and a sow.
If our wild buffaloes and wild boars give birth to lambs, the villagers can buy them with silver or mortgage them with their labor if they want to raise them.
Anyway, we are going to build a house next year and we need a lot of people to work on it."
When everyone heard this, they realized that the old village chief had just warned everyone not to be jealous, and now, Li Lanzhen gave them a big surprise!
The old village chief laughed and said, "Okay, thank you, Lan Zhen. On behalf of all the villagers in Wangyou Valley, I accept your kindness. We will also set up a pig farm and a cattle farm. Slowly, wild boars and cattle will become domestic pigs and cattle. Hahahaha."
At this time, Xue Bao and Han Mingjiang brought a cow and a sow over and handed them to Han Shunde and Han Zhaoxiong.
At this time, a thin old man walked out of the crowd.
He walked to the female wild boar and female bison with a smile and touched their bellies.
He turned to the old village chief and said, "Village chief, we have taken great advantage of Lan Zhen.
This sow and this cow both have piglets in their bellies!"
When Li Lanzhen heard this, she was very happy.
After searching my memory, I found out that this man was a widower in the village with no children. Everyone called him the shepherd. When he was in Hanjia Village, he raised four or five sheep and two big fat pigs.
Every year when the sow gave birth to piglets, she would exchange them for silver and make a living.
So, he was very experienced. When he was standing in the crowd, he knew at a glance that the sow and cow that Li Lanzhen gave to the village were both pregnant.
Because he was not sure, he walked out and touched it. After he was sure, he said these words to the village chief.
The village chief happily put his hands behind his back and laughed loudly towards the sky.
"Lanzhen, thank you! Thank you very much. It won't be long before there will be a herd of piglets in the spring, and at least a calf!"
Li Lanzhen also smiled happily.
I thought to myself that this would be good. As long as everyone in the village was well off, they would live a better life, would not be envied by others, and would feel more secure and happier.
When Han Mingjiang heard this, he hurriedly pulled the shepherd towards his own herd of bison and wild boars.
"Uncle, come and help our family check on these cows and sows to see if any of them are pregnant?"
Everyone stared to hear the news.
The old shepherd looked at a cow in Li Lanzhen's herd of bison, touched it, and shook his head.
The cow was not pregnant with a calf, so he touched a sow and said with a smile, "The cow is not pregnant with a calf, but the sow has a calf in her belly!"
This unexpected gain made everyone cheer.
