Chapter 19: I want to chop wood

Wang Baoshan and the four of them have lived in Heifeng Village for three days, and during these three days, they have eaten and slept every day, slept and eaten, and they did not dare to run around, and stayed in the stone room all day with nothing to do. The people in the village also came to deliver the food when they arrived, and they didn't arrange what they did, and they didn't care about them.

During this period, Du Xiaosan went out for a long time before coming back, and after he came back, he seemed to be a different person, and he changed his previous depression. I don't know what to do, which makes the other three people puzzled, Sanpi asked him a few times, but he didn't say. He also advised them to live in Heifeng Village with peace of mind, don't be in a hurry, and talk about other things slowly.

Since he said so, Wang Baoshan didn't want to ask much, as long as he was fine.

This leisurely day with nothing to do is fine at first, but after a long time, people are easy to get bored. Especially the kind of people who work a lot, once they stop, they will panic idlely, and if they don't find something to do, they will feel uncomfortable.

Wang Baoshan is this kind of person, in Sanpi's words, it is the life of the slave, which makes him noncommittal. He thinks that if he eats other people's soft mouths, takes other people's hands short, and eats and drinks other people's for nothing, he should always do something, otherwise if he continues like this, he will definitely be annoyed by others.

So, when Xu Feng came over, he proposed to him that he planned to find something to do in the village. Xu Feng was also very happy, so he asked them what they wanted to do, and briefly introduced some of the things they could do. Why go to the battalions of the martial arts hall, learn the martial arts of fighting, go to the stables to feed the horses, go to the kitchen to help cook, go to the armory to strike iron, or go to the fortification camp to build roads and build houses...... Wait, there's always a lot of stuff going on with zero.

When Wang Baoshan heard this, he was shocked. I can't imagine that there are so many things in this Black Wind Village, Yanran is like a town, and there should be almost everything.

After thinking about it, he decided to go to the kitchen to help with the cooking, to see if he could help chop wood, or light a fire to deliver food or something.

His plan to seek stability made Sanpi depressed, and he persuaded him bitterly: "I said big brother! Although we came to Heifengzhuang to ask for a place to live, a manly husband should not also run for a good future in the future, and must not just seek temporary comfort!"

Sanpi is not wrong to say this, people are determined to move forward and fight for a good future for themselves, which is understandable, and it is also the basis for everyone's life.

But Wang Baoshan had other ideas in his heart, he felt that it was better for people to be stable and do what they could, and thinking about some illusory things unrealistically would only make him suffer and be deceived. also took out what happened to him before, saying that if he didn't go to Litou Town to sell straw sandals, he wouldn't have been deceived into becoming a mining slave.

"Big brother, that's one yard to one yard! Otherwise, how could the three of us brothers meet together, this is also the will of heaven!" Sanpi was not lightly angry, and it was not easy to say some disrespectful words, so he had to persuade.

"Big brother, you're right. What the second brother said is right, you should think about it, you can't live a lifetime by chopping wood and burning fires. Du Xiaosan on the side also came to persuade him.

"Second brother, third brother, no matter what, I will only chop wood, and I won't do anything else, and besides, we just came to the village, we have to do our part first, have a force, and make a contribution. ”

Sanpi and Du Xiaosan, the left persuaded him not to move, and the right persuaded him not to move. In the end, he had no choice but to go. I had to tell him to try it first, and then make plans for what he wanted to do later.

Later, they discussed it again, and in the end, each had their own plans.

Luo Ying decided to go to the arrow camp of Yanwutang, but Sanpi decided to follow Xu Feng to Zhao Zitang to help. And the scholar Du Xiaosan actually decided to go to the fortification camp to help, which surprised everyone, and it was even more incomprehensible than Wang Baoshan. Duxin said that you are a weak scholar, you don't go to Zhao Zitang to help manage the accounts, and go to build roads and houses, what kind of trouble are you going to make?

In this regard, Du Xiaosan has his own plans, saying that although he is a scholar, he has been interested in which fortifications and appliances since he was a child, and he just wants to play a role.

Xu Feng saw that they all had their own plans, and he was also full of joy, and told them that he must go back and talk to Mr. Zhao, and let them wait for the arrangement.

As a result, in less than a day, Xu Feng came to tell everyone that Mr. Zhao agreed to everyone's plan and could arrange for them to go. They were also given several pieces of clothing of different colors to wear later. Because there are many people in the village, the people of each battalion and each hall have to wear different colors of clothing to make it easier to manage and distinguish.

If you want to go to your own barracks, you can't live together anymore. So, in the future, they will live separately. Luo Ying didn't have anything to do with this, but Wang Baoshan and the three of them were very reluctant, although they were temporarily separated, but they got along for a few days, and their feelings were still quite deep. They told each other to take good care, and said that they would move around more in the future and have the opportunity to get together more.

finally officially joined Heifengzhuang, which made Wang Baoshan very happy, and happily followed Xu Feng to the room.

When he arrived, he was surprised that there were many people in this room, men and women, old and young, doing everything, cooking on the fire, picking vegetables and cutting meat... and so on, each of them was busy with their own business, and no one paid attention to him.

Xu Feng found the boss of the room, introduced him to Wang Baoshan, and left.

"What's your name?" the boss waited for Xu Feng to leave. looked at Wang Baoshan again and asked him.

Wang Baoshan saw that the boss of this gang was short and small, with white hair, and it seemed that he was not young, so he gave him a salute and said, "My name is Wang Baoshan, I don't know what you call him?"

"Just call me Wu Lao in the future..."The boss of the room saw that he knew some etiquette, and nodded with satisfaction. Then he asked, "Where are you from, and what work have you done before?"

"I used to live on the treasure mountain outside the west of the city, chopping wood. Wang Baoshan took out the woodcutter on his waist and showed it to Wu Lao.

"Well, then you go to the mountain behind the house to cut firewood! Three loads of firewood a day, and when you cut it, you will send it to the house. ”

"Yes..."Wang Baoshan listened and hurriedly nodded.

"And the place where this group lives is crowded with people, you go to the back mountain to find a place to live, there are many people over there who are responsible for chopping wood like you, and it is not a big deal to live there..."

After Wu Lao finished speaking, he told Wang Baoshan some precautions, and asked him to go to the back mountain by himself to find a place to live, and his old man went to inspect the room.

Wang Baoshan went to the fire room to get some food, and then carried the iron pot and other things that he had not been willing to throw away, and walked to the back mountain.

When he arrived at the mountain behind the house, he found that it was a wide mountainous area, with vast forests and seas, covering the sky and the sun, and the ups and downs did not know where he went. Seeing that he sighed in his heart, he said that this place is much larger than the forest in Baoshan, I don't know how many times bigger, no wonder there are so many people in the village, and they don't worry about running out of firewood to burn.

According to Wu Lao's instructions, he came to a clearing, which was a vegetable field in this forest. There are all kinds of vegetables in the field, and they all grow green and full, which makes Wang Baoshan surprised, thinking that such a good piece of sparse vegetables, who is planting it, and how can it be grown so well?

Smell the smell of these greens and the aroma of the earth, watch a few white butterflies dancing on the cauliflower, listen to the birdsong in the surrounding woods, the rustle of leaves as the wind blows through the woods... and other pastoral scenery, so that Wang Baoshan was intoxicated for a while, unable to extricate himself.

At this time, a gust of cool breeze just happened to blow on his face, which made him close his eyes comfortably, and he couldn't help but exclaim: What a comfort!

"Bold dog thief, stealing vegetables again..."

Just as he could see his thoughts, a coquettish voice interrupted his thoughts.

I saw a man in a gray tight-sleeved shirt, dragging a hoe, running towards him quickly.

Wang Baoshan was shocked and hurriedly went to see people. It seemed to be a woman, not very old, almost as old as him.

This woman was quite tall, half a head taller than him. Although she had a beautiful face, she was cold at this time, and her momentum was scorching, which made Wang Baoshan panic for a while.

As soon as the woman came to him, she raised the hoe in her hand and wanted to hit him, looking at the posture of the shop, Wang Baoshan couldn't parry, and didn't dare to parry, so he hurriedly turned around and ran back.

"Girl, you're mistaken, I'm not here to steal vegetables," he shouted as he ran, trying to explain to her.

"Hmph, look at your tattered and dirty appearance, you must be with that wild girl, but if you don't study well, I won't kill you if you look at your aunt......" The woman didn't give up, didn't listen to him at all, and kept pushing him behind.

It wasn't until she got out of this vegetable field and watched Wang Baoshan flee that the woman gave up. And pointed at Wang Baoshan viciously and warned him: "Dog thief, come and break your dog's leg again." ”

Wang Baoshan was speechless for a while by this spicy woman who suddenly appeared, and he didn't want to cause trouble, so he sighed and planned to find a place to live elsewhere.

He was really scared, so he stayed away from the vegetable patch and went to look in the woods. There are also some thatched huts all over the way, large and small, old and new, and it seems that they are all inhabited. It was morning, and there was no one to be seen, so they must have gone to chop wood.

Seeing this, Wang Baoshan wondered if he should find a vacant land and build a thatched shed by himself, so as not to go for a vacant one, and if he didn't do it, he would have conflicts with others.

Thinking of this, he said just do it, anyway, it's still early, do it early, and rest early. So, he found a hill next to the stream, and planned to build a thatched hut by himself next to it.

Even if he was lucky, when he was looking for materials again, he found that there was a collapsed and broken shed on the top of this hill. It seems that it has collapsed for a long time, and it must have been disliked, but fortunately, the degree of damage is not too serious. Wang Baoshan felt that since he was ownerless, he could still live in it by himself, and he also saved the effort of cutting trees and cutting grass. He grew up in a thatched hut on Baoshan, and he knew a little about repairing houses, so he began to rest.

When it was almost dark, Wang Baoshan finally repaired the collapsed thatched shed, although it was still very dilapidated, but it was still very dilapidated, but it was still very satisfying.

After being busy for most of the day, he was tired and hungry, so he went to the brook next to him, fetched a pot of water and came back, ready to boil some water and eat something.

At night, lying in the haystack, he looked at the starry sky among the shadows of the trees, and gradually fell asleep, with a satisfied smile on his face.
