Bai Shan came suddenly, neither Chief Jia nor Village Chief Huai was prepared, so when Bai Shan asked about details, they got stuck.
Village head Huai could only wipe away his sweat and subtract some from last year's harvest, for example, the total harvested ten bags of wheat became eight bags.
But Bai Shan didn’t just ask about one year’s or all of them. He also asked the village chief how many pieces of land he had, where the land was, and how much was harvested last year and the year before...
In addition to asking the village chief, he can also ask the villagers.
So in the middle of the conversation, the village chief hadn't realized it yet, and Chief Jia was already breaking out in a cold sweat. He realized that the numbers before and after the question didn't seem to match up.
In the end, it was dark outside and the topic stopped after everyone went to eat.
Finally, Chief Jia went back to Dajing Village worried.
As soon as Chief Jia left, Bai Shan asked Village Chief Huai with a smile, "How long does it take to get to Dajing Village from here?"
Village head Huai said: "Soon, it will take more than a quarter of an hour to take a shortcut from the field, and it will take about two quarters of an hour to walk."
It was not long.
"This county remembers that Chief Jia is in charge of Xiaoliu Village besides Dajing Village and Xiaojing Village, right? So where is Xiaoliu Village?"
Village Chief Huai pointed in one direction and said, "It's just behind that mountain."
Bai Shan looked over, but now it was dark, and it was pitch black at first glance, so he couldn't see it at all, so he asked, "Is there a way from that mountain?"
"No," said the village chief, "there is only one road leading out of Xiaoliu Village, and you have to go back the same way the adults came in the afternoon. There is a small path up the mountain. From there, just climb over the mountain. "
The village head sighed and said: "That place is too remote, it's hard to find, I haven't walked that area for a long time, I don't know if the path is covered with grass, the adults may not have noticed it when they came on horseback. "
"You don't go out often?"
The village head smiled and said, "I'm old, and it's far from the town. What are you doing?"
"Then is there a market among your villages?"
"Yes, it's in Dongshan Village, just across from Dajing Village."
"Then the people from Xiaoliu Village won't come to the market?"
"Come here once in a while. The place is remote, and it's not easy to get in and out. If they come out over the mountain, there's no need to come here to catch the market. Just go to the town directly."
"Is the town more advanced than Dongshan Village?"
"No," without Mr. Jia Li, Village Chief Huai said something, and said directly: "It is farther than Dongshan Village, but the things in the town are complete. They have already climbed over the mountain, so there must be a lot of things to buy. Who will come to Dongshan Village? Anyway, the town is not much farther than Dongshan Village."
Bai Shan: "When we came from the county seat, we saw a fork in the road going down. Where is the town?"
"Yes, we have to go down for a long time to get there."
Bai Shan nodded, let Village Chief Huai go, and let him go to rest.
Bai Shan turned back to the house arranged for him, where Man Bao was playing with her medicinal materials, they lit the candles they brought, so the light was not bad.
Bai Shandao: "Tomorrow I will leave everyone to you. You stay in Xiaojing Village for free consultation, and I will go to Dajing Village."
Man Bao looked up at him and said, "I'll go with you."
Just as Bai Shan was about to speak, Man Bao whispered, "It's safe to take me with you, and the hands are scattered. In case of an accident, it's hard to escape. It's better to be together."
Bai Shan stopped talking.
Early the next morning, Jia Lichang arrived as soon as they woke up, which shows how attentive he is, he came here before dawn.
Man Bao and Wen Tiandong hung up banners for free clinics, and only three people came to consult with them. This time, Man Bao did not ask about their health conditions, and only saw the doctor for those who had been called. After prescribing medicine, they packed up. Dongxi and Baishan went to Dajing Village.
Along the way, Bai Shan was looking at the young and strong people in Xiaojing Village, and found that there were not many people in the village, so he asked with a smile, "Is everyone in the village going to harvest wheat today?"
"Yes," Chief Jia said ahead of Village Chief Huai: "The farming season must not be missed. After the wheat is harvested, rice seedlings will be transplanted, so we must hurry up to harvest."
Bai Shan nodded approvingly, "That's right, we can't miss the farming season."
He looked around and said: "Come on, let's go to the field to see how the wheat is doing this year. I also want to see the rice fields where you raise seedlings."
Chief Jiali and Village Chief Huai said it was all right, and led them to the field to watch the wheat harvest.
Perhaps because they knew that there was an official sent to see them harvesting wheat, the people in the fields were very excited and worked hard today, especially after seeing Bai Shan, their movements became faster.
Bai Shan went to the field, looked at the young and middle-aged men in the field, and saw that their arms were strong, so he patted their shoulders with satisfaction, and praised: "Yes, so hardworking, why don't you worry about not being rich?"
Chief Jiali and Village Chief Huai were very happy to hear Bai Shankua, so instead of walking, they passed one field after another to Dajing Village.
Dajing Village is also harvesting wheat, and the fields of the two villages are intersected. The fields of Xiaojing Village are allocated to the other side of Dajing Village, and the fields of Dajing Village are naturally allocated to this side, but the closer to Dajing Village, the fields on the other side Most of them belong to the villagers of Dajing Village.
Bai Shan didn't go in a straight line, but walked wherever he saw people. Apart from watching them harvest the wheat, he also asked about the situation in the field.
After getting to know the family, carefully look at the young and strong people in the family. When you meet a strong person, you pat him on the shoulder approvingly. When you meet a thin person, you tell him to eat more and exercise more.
Da Jin regards strength as beauty.
When he was about to enter Dajing Village, Bai Shan found that there were several young men in a field, but there were no women, older children or old people, so he walked over curiously.
Everyone turned around together.
Just when I reached the field, a young man got up and walked towards the field with a bundle of wheat in each hand.
Bai Shan paused when he swept across his face, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and when he looked at him again, he showed admiration and satisfaction, "This young man is not bad, he looks very strong."
Man Bao also saw the other person's face, and slowly looked away to look at other people's faces. After seeing two familiar people, he turned his head and talked to Wen Tiandong, "You have a medicine box on you, you have to follow closely." If it is heavy, we will give the medicine box to the guards to carry."
Wen Tiandong also felt that the young man who walked over was too familiar, especially like the portrait he saw at Lord Bai's place last night.
He glanced at Mr. and nodded, but he still carried his medicine box on his back and didn't move.
The young man came over with a smile on his face, and greeted Chief Jia Li heartily, "Chief Jia, why are you in the field? It's hot."
The smile on Jia Lichang's face was faint, but he still smiled and said to him: "Didn't you see that the county magistrate is here? Come up and pay your respects to your lord."
