Chapter 236: Lelang Country

Next to the southeast sea area, on a branch vein of the Dayu Mountain Range, there is a towering circular earth mountain, the soil mountain is about 300 meters high, and the radius is more than 100 meters.

During the Qin and Han dynasties, a group of descendants of the Han people crossed the ocean to come here, and built layers of earthen buildings like war fortresses around this earth mountain with stone as the base and rammed earth as the wall. Tulou surrounds the earth mountain, layer upon layer, there are as many as seven layers, there is an ancient pavilion made of giant wood on the top, the ancient pavilion sits in the south and faces north, has experienced many years, the ancient vicissitudes of life can be seen everywhere, there is a black boulder in the pavilion, the stone is written with a big seal to write the word "Le Lang".

Standing in the ancient pavilion, you can look at the blue sea and the undulating mountains far and near, and there are four slightly smaller earthen buildings around it, forming a strong fortress. At that time, the Haikou was in turmoil, and Fujian was full of wolf smoke, but only here was a happy land, and it was defended by relying on these strong fortresses.

The four smaller tulou around are divided into directions, calling it "East Building", "West Building", "North Building", "South Building", and the towering tulou in the middle also has a name, and the locals call it "Lelang".

It is rumored that in order to avoid the turmoil of the Qin and Han dynasties, there was a descendant of the Han family where the "Lelang Country" was located, and they did not hesitate to risk being swallowed by the waves, crossed the sea to this wild place, and built a city to live in order to avoid being killed by fierce beasts and local aborigines.

At this time, in a quaint hall in a tulou named "Lelang", an old man with half-white hair sat on a chair in the hall with a cane, and a middle-aged man was sitting next to him.

The two of them were making tea, silent, and the distant sunlight shone on the red bricks in the hall, which seemed to be smeared with a layer of grease and glowed with a slight light. The wind blew a little, blowing the silk tassels of the two palace lamps in the corridor.

"Dad, Ah Lang is back." In the hall, the middle-aged man said to the old man.

"See, it's all on TV, this kid is miserable!" The old man gently put down the teacup in his hand and sighed heavily.

"They all blame me, if it weren't for this so-called patriarchal position, the eldest brother wouldn't have left, and Ah Lang wouldn't have worked so hard, they all blamed me." The middle-aged man slapped the table and said reproachfully.

"It's not your fault, Ah Wen didn't like the environment here back then, I don't blame you, go and get Ah Lang back, it should be his or his." The old man sighed secretly in his heart and said to the middle-aged man.

"I'm afraid that he won't come back, I heard that he will get married next year, and he is a woman of the Cai family."

"Getting married, why don't I know, I don't even notify my family when I get married, do I really have to forget my ancestors, it's really so broken." When the old man heard the middle-aged man's words, he immediately raised his eyebrows. The cane slammed on the ground and said.

The middle-aged man didn't answer, and after a while, the old man sighed deeply, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let him go, for so many years, no one has ever seen him or cared about him, and we didn't even know when his parents died." He has always been a person, and it is right to be resentful of us, forget it, forget it, let him go! After saying a few words, the old man seemed to suddenly become much older, stood up, and walked slowly into it with his cane.

After the middle-aged man saw it, he sighed deeply, the departure of Ah Lang's father back then was also due to the old man, the old man was also hot-tempered, and others could not object to what he said, and Ah Lang's father was too, and there were cracks in the relationship between father and son after a long time, coupled with the reason for the election of the patriarch in the clan, they were separated from each other, and heaven and man were separated. When he got that Ah Lang's father died, he was obviously much older, and at that time, it had been half a year since the death of Ah Lang's father.

In the past few years, no one has ever gone to see Lelang, half of it is the reason why he is in that ravine, and half of it, how can it not be the indifference of family affection, so indifferent that no one even went when his parents died, although there are also reasons for the lack of news, but who can blame this?

When Le Lang was a child, he originally lived in this tulou, but later his father didn't want to see his brothers fighting because of the position of a patriarch, and he also had a little disagreement with the old man in the family, so he moved to Xiaoxi Village. His father was originally a teacher in Xiaoxi Village, so he would know his mother and get married, and then his father died because of an accidental fall in a mountain stream, and his mother was also depressed and sick because of his father's death, and left in a few years, leaving only Lelang to live alone with his grandfather, if he didn't have a few partners to accompany him, I don't know what will happen to his life.

.......

In the backyard, Le Lang is holding a small-eyed fishing net in the rice field to fish for loaches, these loaches are raised in the rice field, the largest is the thickness of a thumb, the length is longer than Le Lang's palm. The few bits of rice in his backyard can be cut after a while, and today he came to inspect it, and inadvertently looked at the loaches in the field so big, so he thought about fishing some and eating them, such a big loach is the best to make soy sauce water.

Le Lang was fishing in the field with his trouser legs, San Lang squatted on the edge of the field, holding the loach in the bucket with his little hand to play, and the civet named Kitten next to him was holding a fat loach in his hand and gnawing there, eating with relish. The chickens and ducks next to them saw that they seemed to have a advantage, so they all came over and pretended to look at the side with their heads probed. When Saburo saw it, he picked up the clods of earth and drove them away. But Piggy ran over with his two good brothers, and San Lang saw it and fished a few loaches to eat, but unfortunately Piggy didn't eat loaches, but cheapened the two brothers Xiaohao and Piggy next to it.

After fishing for the loaches for a while, Le Lang saw that it was almost over, so he walked up. The rice in the field is about to be cut, he wants to go to the city to buy a small rice thresher and come back, the rice in the jade Ruyi space can be cut, but those things in the jade Ruyi space are not visible, you have to thresh yourself, and then take it to the village to grind, there is a rice milling machine in the village to help the people in the village grind rice, but there is a fee to charge.

After fishing for the loaches, Le Lang jumped into the pond and touched a few lotus roots, the things he planted were good, looking at the lotus roots were snow-white and snow-white, and there was a sweet and sweet taste when he bit it.

After the dish was ready, Tao Cheng came back just in time. In the past few days, he has been busy with the affairs of the winery, but Le Lang is leisurely, except for the occasional visit, he is lying on the rocking chair at home leisurely and leisurely. The foundation of the distillery has been basically completed, the surrounding area is surrounded by a wall more than three meters high, the cement frame of a three-story building in front has been poured, and the back row of tin houses as factories has also been built, and it will be almost completed in about two weeks, and the next step is to renovate.

Tao Cheng looked at the food on the table, and he was not polite, he picked up the bowl and ate it, and said to Le Lang while eating: "You have a good life, you have been at home all day, and you haven't seen that I am so tired, I don't know whether this factory is yours or mine." ”

"Besides, aren't you also the director of the distillery?" Le Lang said with a smile at Tao Cheng.

"Then there has to be a distillery, isn't it not built yet? By the way, if your banana is called a human plant, don't build a factory when the factory is built, there will be no banana to make banana wine, then it will be over. ”

"There are already several families planting, I'm afraid that I can't finish planting too much, so I didn't let others plant it, and there are three or four hundred catties of bananas in that bow, so it shouldn't take too much."

"You can ask people to plant some more, I think the prospect of this banana wine is good, don't make no banana brew when the time comes."

"Well, then I'll find someone to plant some."

While the two were talking, they were eating, and the old man outside walked in. This old Taoist and Naruto are the best at finding time, and they usually come at the time of the Lelang family's meal, but I don't know if it's calculated. Le Lang saw Lao Dao hurriedly beckoning to eat, Lao Dao was naturally not polite, and picked up the bowl and ate it himself.

After eating, Le Lang took out the tea set to make tea, he didn't like to make tea, but for Tao Cheng's hard work in the past few days, make some tea to comfort him.

"Ah Lang, do you have time tomorrow?" After taking a few sips of tea, Lao Dao asked Le Lang

"What's the matter?" Le Lang asked curiously.

"Tomorrow, the people from your wife's village invite me to see Feng Shui, you go with me, the people there have a hot temper, and they have to do it if they don't agree with each other, and I don't have so much effort to toss." Lao Dao is not afraid of them tossing, but afraid of making a move, his old arms and legs are not younger than them.

Le Lang listened, thought about it, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go with you tomorrow, and go to see my mother-in-law by the way." ”

"Okay, I'll call a car and wait for you at your door early tomorrow morning."

After drinking a few cups of tea, Lao Dao left, and Tao Cheng and San Lang also went to bed in the afternoon. Le Lang walked back to the house, ready to take some things to honor his mother-in-law.

Walking into the house, Le Lang thought for a while, and was about to take some honey from the white jade bee, last time he took some of it, and heard that Shaoqing's parents were full of praise, saying that this honey was better than the bees raised in their village, and by the way, he brought some mangrove mushrooms picked in the mountains and forests. And the day before yesterday, Lao Liu took a few ginseng trees, and by the way, he also took two ginseng trees, anyway, he was useless. Besides, he planted some of the ginseng seeds that Lao Liu brought over in the Jade Ruyi space, and now some of them have sprouted, maybe he will have ginseng himself after a while.
