Besides their families, there were two families with the surname Mo who were assigned to Da Feng Village.
These two families also had many mouths to feed, amounting to a total of seventeen people, who stood in an orderly manner just like them.
The village chief of Da Feng Village was surnamed He, a man over sixty, tall and thin, wearing a greyish-blue long coat that was eighty percent new, his face darkened and wrinkled from farming, looking somewhat stern. After glancing at them, he instructed his eldest son to begin counting the people.
After counting, and checking the bamboo cards and household registration papers, Village Chief He cleared his throat and said, "No matter where you come from, from now on you are people of Da Feng Village. Da Feng Village does not tolerate evil people. Once you're in the village, you must abide by the village rules and not cause trouble at will."
