Chapter 269: Why are there weapons at the welcome ceremony?

When Shen Zhiqiu and his group arrived at Tangjia Village, the villagers were already having dinner at this time.

There were not many people under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village, only a few old men holding bowls, who were dissatisfied with eating at home and ran to the entrance of the village to eat and chat.

When they saw a group of people walking towards this side from a distance on the road leading into the village, several old men thought they were dazzled.

Whose relatives are coming at this time, and why are there so many of them?

However, as the team in the distance got closer, among the several old men, the one who asked the question today, Tang Laoliu, first greeted the fourteenth old man in their generation:

"Old Fourteen, go inform Guang Zheng and Uncle Nine that someone is coming to the village entrance. Ask everyone to gather. Don't tell them that the Yang Family Village is here to cause trouble again."

Yangjia Village is a replica of Tangjia Village. It can be said that it is also a big village. Both villages are not small.

There is also an official in Yangjia Village, and it is said that he is an old Hanlin, who is over 40 years old this year.

He is also the head of their Yang family, so this village and Tangjia Village are adjacent, so there are often disputes over trivial matters such as farming and watering the land.

The main thing is that there is no room for two tigers in one mountain.

When two villages are evenly matched, the one with a better reputation will definitely not accept the other one.

So when he saw the dark mass, Tang Laoliu asked his cousin to go and inform people. He put down his bowl and picked up a stick from under the locust tree.

"Stop, what are you doing?"

At the same time, everyone in Shenjia Village heard Team Leader Li say, "Tangjia Village is just ahead."

Everyone looked from a distance and saw that most of the houses were made of blue bricks. They looked very wealthy.

Nowadays, most of the houses in a rural area are made up of blue bricks, which is really rare.

Although it was getting dark and the view was not very bright, they could still see it roughly, especially when they entered the village, which was at the northern entrance and the terrain was slightly higher, so they could just see the densely packed roofs of the village.

Mr. Shen rubbed his eyes and said, "It's big, really big, it's a big village."

Old Man Shen also sighed: "Given their geographical location, they are close to the county seat. Fang County is dependent on Shuntian Prefecture, and Tangjia Village is dependent on Fang County. It would be strange if they are not rich."

Indeed, how could such a terrain be poor? Even those villages that still have mud-brick houses are not necessarily that poor. At least they don't have to worry about food and clothing.

With this thought in mind, everyone finally saw the real Tangjia Village, which was such a good village. Smiles appeared on their faces, and their eyes were filled with curiosity and longing for the new village.

Even Li Jingshu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.

As for Shen Zhiqiu and Shen Youyou, although they were still a little worried and knew that the next moment was the real critical moment, seeing that the village was so good, they couldn't help but feel a little bit of anticipation in their hearts.

But before I could even begin to anticipate this, I heard someone say, "Stop, what are you doing?"

Shen Zhiqiu and Shen Youyou were shocked: "Here they come!"

The people of Shenjia Village, who had not yet let out a sigh of relief, started to worry again when they saw Tangjia Village.

They saw a few elderly men not far away, holding wooden sticks and pointing at them.

Team leader Li also dismounted and coughed twice: "I am a yamen runner from the government office in the prefecture, and I have been ordered to lead the big red card team to settle down."

After hearing this, Tang Laoliu and the others widened their eyes, wondering if they had heard it wrongly:

"Are you arranging for the refugees to settle down? Why are there so many refugees coming to your village? Have you seen any village arranging for so many people?"

Although they all thought so, they didn't have much chance to speak out loud, because the old fourteenth who went back to report the news was jogging and shouting:

"Get your weapons, get your weapons, there are people coming to the village to cause trouble!"

Those who lived nearby, regardless of whether they were from the Tang family or not, simply put down their bowls and chopsticks, picked up their weapons and rushed to the village entrance, each of them looking very aggressive.

And they had all kinds of tools, including shovels, axes, machetes, iron forks, sickles and sticks.

Because in their understanding, if such shouting sounds appeared in the village, it meant that the Yangjia Village across the street was coming to cause trouble.

Therefore, not long after, a situation was formed at the entrance of Tangjia Village with a group of people on each side, standing more than ten meters apart.

Everyone in Shenjia Village: "Oh my god, why do they have to bring weapons to the welcome ceremony in this village?"

The people of Tangjia Village said: "Didn't they say that Yangjia Village came to fight? Why are there so few people this time? Oh! No, the people on the other side look a little unfamiliar."

But the instigator of this situation, Tang Laoliu, said with an embarrassed look: "Well, the bailiff across the street said that they are refugees who came to settle down."

"What's the matter?"

“There are so many refugees settling here?”

"Oh, which village can afford so many? Our village can't let them go."

"No, the point is, look at those people, aren't they dressed poorly? Not even as well as us. Aren't those who come to settle in Shuntian Prefecture rich?"

This is Tang Laoqi who had found out some information.

It was because of Tang Laoqi's words that the topic was completely deviated. Why are there only a few people settling in other villages, but there are so many in our village?

It turned into a comment on the clothes worn by Shen Zhiqiu and his group.

Some old ladies noticed it and said: "Wow! There are a lot of strong laborers in this group! They all look strong, but some of them are wearing patched clothes."

"That's right, there's a big gap between the rich and the poor. Look, some are wearing patched clothes, and some are wearing satin."

Another old woman replied: "What are you thinking? That satin one obviously doesn't fit. It must have been given to me by a kind-hearted person."

Others said: "They don't have many animals, not even one bullock cart. How come they are different from the ones we saw before who settled in Shuntianfu?"

Because they walked some distance forward and the person on the other side didn't lower his voice, the people from Shenjia Village could still hear a few words.

Even Shen Youyou, who had a very calm mentality, wanted to say hello: "The people on the other side, it's not very polite of you to do this!"

The old lady from Shenjia Village was even more angry. Old Lady Hua pulled her mother-in-law and said, "Old sister, look and see if those old ladies across the street are attacking us."

Old Lady Wang was considered good-tempered among the ten old ladies, but at this moment: "Yes, that's us."

Cui Fen Er even said at the right time: "Yes, that's the expression. I used to be so fond of you."

Shen Youyou: "Cough cough cough!"

She was coughing because she was really trying hard to hold back her laughter. There was nothing she could do because Second Grandma's words were so funny.

But Li Jingshu thought that we haven't settled down yet, so let's not conflict with them first: "Mom, don't be angry first, we haven't settled down yet, let's settle down first."

The old ladies actually knew this, otherwise they would have cursed out loud long ago.

Shen Youyou could imagine that the grandmothers were cursing in their hearts. She really felt that this was not the time to have fun, so she tried her best not to think about it that way.

Just at this time, the village head Tang Guangzheng arrived late, supporting Tang Jiugong.

On the way they also knew that the people from Yangjia Village were not coming to fight, so they were not in a hurry.

He walked leisurely, like a leisurely stroll in the garden: "Why are you assigning so many people to our village?"
