Chapter 112 Return to the Valley
Hearing this exclamation, Xue Lao Hu reacted the fastest.
He pulled out the bow and arrow from his backpack and aimed it in the direction of the sound.
Han Mingjiang and Li Lanzhen simultaneously pulled out electric batons and machetes.
Their defensive posture frightened the people on the opposite side and they shouted loudly.
"Aunt Lanzhen, it's us! The people from the valley!"
Li Lanzhen looked in the direction of the voice and found that it was someone from the valley, Lu Dashan, the eldest son of the village chief of Lujiazhuang.
No wonder they didn’t recognize the sound. They hadn’t been exposed to it many times and were not familiar with it.
Lu Dashan came down from the mountain with two people.
He looked at them and laughed, "Aunt Lanzhen, Uncle Xue, Brother Mingjiang.
These days, the old village chief has arranged three people to go down the mountain to check every day, for fear that you will encounter any danger.
Today it happened to be our turn, and we saw you as soon as we came down the mountain."
As he spoke, he saw a dozen or so livestock behind him and the supplies they were carrying. It was such a spectacular sight that he opened his mouth and eyes wide.
Li Lanzhen looked at his mouth, which was so wide open that an egg could fit in it.
He just laughed and said, "I took my two children into Youzhou City to check the news.
Your uncle Xue and brother Han Mingjiang went to the place where we hid the horses and brought all the horses here.
This extra horse, a cow, and two donkeys were brought by a traveling caravan of merchants that I met on my way back.
The daughter-in-law of their team leader was about to give birth and had difficulty in delivery, so I helped her. This was a gift from him to thank me.
Their caravan brought a lot of donkeys.
They also gave us a lot of food, cotton for the winter, and some other things I haven't seen yet.
We will load them all onto the horses, and when we get back to the valley, we will go and have a look with the old village chief to see what they are."
Xue Lao Hu and Han Mingjiang just stood there far away, watching Li Lanzhen lie with her eyes open.
They didn't say anything, so let them take the blame.
With three people coming and leading so many livestock, it became much easier to climb the mountain.
Goudan, Han Yinan and Li Lanzhen were all riding on their horses, walking slowly.
The men were all walking forward, leading their horses on the ground.
Xue Lao Hu arranged for Lu Dashan and his men to clear all traces of their journey up the mountain.
Lu Dashan and a few others agreed happily. This was a survival skill, which was taught to them by Xue Lao Hu. Therefore, these men all admired Xue Lao Hu very much.
An hour later they finally reached the entrance of the valley.
Xue Bao stood on a large rock at the entrance to the valley and saw them from a distance.
He shouted into the valley, "Aunt Lan Zhen is back."
With just this shout, the valley became lively and adults and children all ran towards the valley gate.
The old village chief was also helped by Han Zhaoxiong and ran to the entrance of the cave valley.
Xue Bao moved the big rock at the entrance of the valley early in the morning.
Li Lanzhen and her companions’ horses arrived at the gate.
Xue Bao waved his hands and shouted, "Aunt Lan Zhen, you're back!"
Li Lanzhen laughed and said, "I'm back, Xue Bao. Are you standing here to welcome me?"
Xue Bao also laughed, "Yes, the old village chief has been extremely anxious these three days, talking about you all day long, arranging people to go down the mountain every day, and arranging me to stand here every day. Today I finally see you come back."
Looking up, he saw Xue Lao Hu again. Like a little leopard, he jumped off the rocks and rushed over. Xue Lao Hu watched his son running towards him, hugged him and patted his back hard.
"You're so grown up, but you're still like a child!" He complained with a doting look in his eyes.
Xue Bao put his arm around Xue Lao Hu's shoulders and said, "Aunt Lan Zhen said that no matter how old a child is, he is still a child!"
His words caused everyone around him to burst into laughter.
Li Lanzhen turned around and saw Han Mingjiang's envious eyes.
She dismounted, walked in front of Han Mingjiang and called him gently.
"Second brother, go home. Your wife is waiting for you at home!"
He pulled his sight back and they entered the valley together.
As we walked into the valley, we met the old village chief and villagers who were in a hurry.
The old village chief also heard their laughter and looked at Li Lanzhen.
I shouted, "Lan Zhen, you're back. I was so worried! Did anything happen to you?"
Li Lanzhen looked at the old village chief's face which was as red as a chrysanthemum.
"Old village chief, don't worry. I'm back safe and sound. I met some good people on my trip and they gave us a lot of gifts. Let's go into the valley and talk."
Li Lanzhen got off the horse, and the chestnut horse was led by Han Minghai.
She walked with the old village chief and talked about what she had seen and heard in Youzhou City in the past few days.
And he was told in detail where this batch of supplies came from.
The old village chief and Han Shunde heard that Li Lanzhen had saved another woman from childbirth.
I learned that the leader of the caravan gave this batch of supplies, including a horse, a cow and two donkeys, to thank Li Lanzhen.
The two were walking and talking when suddenly, exclamations broke out from the crowd.
Hula, hula, people gathered in the wasteland on the east side of the valley.
Time has stopped!
Li Lanzhen stammered to the old village chief, "Old village chief, this, this, this is too outrageous!!"
It turned out that there was more than an acre of land in the wasteland on the east side. Not only was it no longer a wasteland, but crops and vegetables were planted on the land, and they were now growing lush green.
The corn stalks are as tall as my calves, and the sweet potato vines have grown branches and leaves. Now you can pinch them off and plant them in the ground.
A row of leeks swayed in the wind with their leaves two fingers wide.
After Li Lanzhen was surprised, the more she looked at it, the more she felt that the layout of the crops and vegetables planted in this field was so similar to that in her own space!
But the number of acres of land seems wrong.
There are ten acres of land in my own space, but there is about one acre of land here.
The old village chief was laughing as he looked at the surprised Li Lan.
"Lan Zhen, why else can I say that you are our lucky star!"
The old village chief put his hands on his hips, looked at the green crops, and said loudly, "These are not crops, they are our hope!"
"Lan Zhen, just when we walked to this field, so many crops suddenly appeared here and they are growing well. Tell me, are you our lucky star? Hahaha!
I said you are the lucky star of our Hanjia Village, and today it has been proven once again. Everyone listen, Lan Zhen, you are our lucky star!"
Adults and children were all excited and responded to the old village chief.
"Yes, Lan Zhen is a lucky star, we know it!"
"Grandma Lanzhen is the lucky star grandma!"
"Aunt Lan Zhen is a lucky star!"
These calls of "lucky star" made Li Lanzhen ashamed. Where is the lucky star?
These were just excuses I found to take out the supplies in the space.
As for the crops and vegetables that appeared on the wasteland and grew well, that was none of her business.
