Chapter 008: Eager to Pierce
The Liu family sat at home, looking forward to Hou Jun's early return, especially the fact that Steward Luo and Luo Quan brought them drunk to the door to harass them, which made the Liu family miss Hou Jun. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
On the first night, Liu was listless, and the meal was not delicious, and when she got up in the morning, she saw that the weather was gradually getting warmer, and the snow had begun to melt in the sunny place, so she took out the charcoal fire and led it to the hillside outside the village, so that it could eat grass, Liu knew Hou Jun's love for this horse, and did not want Hou Jun to return home today to see the charcoal fire and still hungry.
The charcoal fire is very well-behaved in front of Liu's, this is a good horse with human nature, after eating grass, Liu's let the charcoal fire spread joy on the hillside, Liu's didn't know how to call it, and shook his arm at it vigorously, shouting, "cough-horse-you come back," I don't know how many times, the charcoal fire had enough, so she took it back.
At this time, the daughter-in-law of the village family came to her again, and happened to see the Liu family sitting in a daze in the firewood house, and laughed at her, "Why, as soon as the head of the family goes out, he will not be able to give up?" ”
Liu already knew that the village girl's husband was named Chen Jiu, and Chen Jiu had a cousin who also worked in the ranch, named Chen Ba, and Chen Ba was a group leader in the ranch. Liu's daughter-in-law told Liu that the management of the ranch was based on herds, with 120 horses in a group, and her husband's cousin was in charge of 120 horses. That's why it's called a group head.
When her new good friend made fun of her, Liu deliberately diverted the topic and said, "I let the horse go just now, I watched a horse alone, and I had to keep a good eye on it, for fear that it would run away in a blink of an eye, I really don't know how your cousin is so good that he can watch a hundred and twenty horses." ”
"What? Did you go and herd the horses yourself? The good friend was a little incredulous, "You dare to take such a big livestock out?" I can't, I'm afraid it'll kick me. ”
Liu Shi didn't look at the other party's tone like he was making fun of himself, recalling that when he held the reins of the charcoal fire just now, he did have the same feeling as Chen Jiu's daughter-in-law, but what gave him the courage to pull up the horse and walk towards the hillside?
Chen Jiu's daughter-in-law said, "Anyway, you're not in charge, why don't we go to the ranch together to have a look?" My uncle Chen Ba is in charge of things inside, and if he doesn't understand, let him talk about it. ”
The Liu family couldn't withstand the temptation of Chen Jiu's daughter-in-law, thinking that he and Hou Jun were sent from Lingnan to Xizhou, and sooner or later they would have to go to the horse farm to do things.
The two of them locked the firewood door and walked to the village, meeting a lot of people along the way, after the weather was clear, many people came out of the home to enjoy the warm sunshine and dry the quilt, Chen Jiu's daughter-in-law tirelessly introduced her good friend to every acquaintance she met, "This is Sister Liu, who lives in the village." She is in charge of Hou Jun and has gone to Xizhou. Liu's ground was flushed again and again, and it was not easy to hold everyone's hand to explain, those people all smiled kindly after listening to Chen Jiu's daughter-in-law's introduction, and watched them walk over, Liu's could feel the warmth in those eyes, and his mood improved slightly. When they passed by Chen Ba's house, they called Chen Ba's daughter-in-law again, and the three of them held hands and walked to the ranch.
When the shepherds saw the three young daughters-in-law coming in, some of them exchanged words, some of them simply coaxed and pointed at them, and one of the little leaders recognized one of them as Chen Ba's daughter-in-law, so he shouted at them, "You guys are coming so fast, you are killing horses, are you hungry for horse meat?" ”
Chen Ba didn't know where he came from, he didn't know Liu, and said that his daughter-in-law, "Why did you bring people in, and the steward couldn't see it." His daughter-in-law said, "How is it a raw person, her men will come to the field to feed the horses in a few days, you are a group leader, you have to take good care of it in the future, put some light work for others to do, do you know or not." ”
Chen Ba seemed to listen to his daughter-in-law's words, but in front of the living, he was still a little embarrassed and said, "How do you know that people will definitely be assigned to me, even if they are under my hands, there are still rules." I think you better go home quickly, let Liu Mucheng see it, it will be fine, if you let Lu Mucheng or Steward Luo see it, they will whip us. Liu could see that he was not talking nonsense, and regretted that he had come here with them very rashly. Chen Ba said, "Those horses and foals that froze to death on a snowy day, Lord Lu is in charge, saying that the New Year will be over soon, and the dead horses will kill the meat, and everyone who works in the ranch has a share, you wait, I take the meat, you go back quickly." ”
After a while, Chen Ba came back with two pieces of horse meat in his hands and handed them over to his daughter-in-law and Chen Jiu's daughter-in-law respectively, Chen Jiu's daughter-in-law said, "Why is there no Sister Liu?" His family also raised horses in the future. ”
Chen Ba said with some embarrassment, "I didn't say that I had their share, and I also heard that nearly sixty people would go to the ranch to work in the future this time, but the adults didn't say that they would share the meat, and I didn't dare to make the decision." Chen Jiu's daughter-in-law stomped her feet and said, "If this is the case, my Chen Jiu does not work on the ranch, why do I have mine?" Well, mine doesn't want it either! Chen Ba squeaked and said, "Actually, these two pieces of horse meat are distributed to me, I think there is a lot of meat anyway, so I will give some to the second uncle, you can also taste, because this meat has already been distributed to me, so I can be the master." ”
A few people were talking here, when a shrill voice said, "You don't do things, what are you doing here?" Steward Luo walked over from behind a few people with his hands behind his back, "Don't do anything, are you raising idlers here?" ”
Chen Ba was busy explaining, and said what he had just said again, Steward Luo saw that the Liu family was also there, so he pondered for a while and said, "This is easy to do, I'll go to the two shepherds and supervisors to talk about it, horse meat also has a share of Brother Hou's family, this time I even injured nearly a hundred horses, is there still a lack of this one?" ”
Since yesterday night, after the Liu family smashed the silk scarf he sent back to his face, Steward Luo not only did not feel ashamed, but felt that this Liu family not only looked ecstasy, like Chang'e in the Moon Palace, but also had a temperament that was as difficult to tame as a fierce horse, and it was really different from ordinary women. When I encountered this matter today, it was an opportunity to show my ability in front of the Liu family, and I also pressed Chen Bayi fiercely in front of Chen Ba's daughter-in-law and others, how could I let it go easily, who knew that the Liu family said coldly, "Brother Chen is still reasonable, since there is no rule above, I will never ask for it." ”
Chen's eighth daughter-in-law is good everywhere, and she treats people warmly, but she has a good face, she sees the same thing, this Luo steward dares to take it all over, and it seems that her husband is shrinking from doing things, and his face has long been a little unbearable, Steward Luo saw that in his eyes, he was a little complacent, who knew Liu's words, he had no appreciation for his own good intentions, and immediately said, "Where and where, brother and sister, don't worry, I will go and tell the two adults, you who have just come to the ranch, sixty people, everyone has a share." ”
Liu Shi smiled, "What do I have to worry about, listening to Steward Luo's words, it seems that I can't sleep without this horse meat, I don't want this meat." She said to Chen Jiu's daughter-in-law, "Sister, let's go back." After that, he pulled Chen Jiu's daughter-in-law's hand, and regardless of Steward Luo, standing in place, the three women went out of the ranch.
On the way, Chen Ba's daughter-in-law said to the Liu family with some embarrassment, "Sister, you see that this is because my Chen Ba can't do things, which makes you unhappy." "Chen Jiu's daughter-in-law and Chen Ba's daughter-in-law are concubines, and they speak casually," that Chen steward is courteous, according to me, Sister Liu and others have never seen any delicacies from the mountains and seas, and they can still look at him a few catties of horse meat. ”
When Chen's eighth daughter-in-law heard this, she couldn't help but look at Liu's family carefully, seeing that her skin could be broken, but she couldn't guess her age, on her side, she was twenty-nine years old, and Chen's ninth daughter-in-law was twenty-eight, no matter who stood with her, no matter who stood with her, they didn't show any age advantage. Listening to what she said to Steward Luo, she was neither humble nor arrogant, she was like a person who had seen the world, and she had the heart to make friends, so she said, "We sisters come out together, how can we let you go back empty-handed, so that we can evenly divide the meat into three parts." ”
Liu took the horse meat in his hand and walked all the way, thinking that Hou Jun might have arrived home, and when he got home, he saw that the firewood door was still locked. Liu tried not to think about Hou Jun, and was busy washing the horse meat, adding water to light the stove, and boiling the meat. After noon, the meat was cooked, and Hou Jun had not come back, so he waited at the entrance of the village until it was dark, and when it was dark, there was no one in sight.
She sat in the shack and thought, she didn't know how far Xizhou was from here, and thought that it was better not to do those idle things during the day, if she had ridden the charcoal fire early, maybe now she had arrived in the state city and met Hou Jun. It is said that it is a good horse to know the way, if Hou Jun does not come back today, tomorrow, she will definitely go in person, and the two of them should support and care for each other in trouble, not to mention that she is also an elder, so it is reasonable to find out. But on the other hand, in case Hou Jun is already on the way back, how can it be good if the two of them go wrong.
In the middle of the night, she woke up from the cold, and found that she had fallen asleep without a quilt, and it was pitch black all around.
Under the guidance of Guo Xiaoke, the governor of Xizhou, Hou Jun saw Gao Mu Jian who was still parked on the wooden table in a dark small room, Gao Mu Jian was only covered with a white cotton cloth, and some ice was hewn from the top of the mountain, and the small room was a little gloomy, it could be seen that Guo Du Du was still blocking the news of Gao Jun's death, he and Hou Jun removed the ice and uncovered the white cloth, Hou Jun saw the young man lying quietly, and did not put Gao Mu Jian's clothes back after the corpse, in Hou Jun's opinion, Gao Jun is not as similar to himself as Guo said, maybe he knows himself too well. If there is any similarity, in Hou Jun's opinion, it is just that the face shape, nose, and lip line curvature on the mouth of the two are somewhat similar, and the other party also has the same big eyes as himself, so it seems that the most similar characteristics of the two are concentrated in the head. As for the figure, apart from their height, he couldn't see anything in common between the two.
Gao Shepherd's body is a little thin, perhaps because of his long-term debauchery and irregular living habits, which makes his skin look a little loose and inappropriate for his age, and there is a world of difference from Hou Jun's muscular physique, but for the difference here, ordinary people in Gao Jun's life circle will not have the opportunity to identify, just imagine, who will have the opportunity to identify the body of the deputy pastor without clothes.
"I have to find someone quickly, compare his facial features, and give you some necessary modifications, so that it looks more like, such as making your complexion like his, and a little paler, although the complexion will not last, but it can last for a decade and a half, and it will be fine, and it is like here," Master Guo pointed to a corn-sized red mole in the center of Gao Jun's eyebrows, "It should be exactly the same." Making a mole is not a difficult task in the eyes of some people with unique skills.
"And this", Lord Guo untied a piece of jade tied to a thin gold chain from the neck of the person lying on the wooden board, Hou Jun looked at the jade, the color was like a cold pool, only a little flattened than a walnut, it seemed to be uncarved, formless, shapeless and not round and flat, it was like this, only a hole was drilled at the narrowest edge to wear a gold chain.
He took it and hung it around his neck at the signal of Guo Dudu.
I don't know if it was the fear of the people of the old world, or the piece of jade that had been placed in the cold hut for a long time, as soon as Hou Jun put it on, a gloomy cool air passed from his neck up to his head and down to the dantian, like a bolt of lightning, which made him shiver three times in succession, and a blank appeared in his mind one after another, making his body a little shaky, and his heart was beating for a while before he settled down.
He looked at Gao Mu Jian again as if he was asleep and dreaming, and the strange thing was that Hou Jun seemed to know what he was dreaming, and the situation in the dream was like a tide, surging into Hou Jun's mind, and some pieces were completely unfamiliar to him. Looking at it again, it seemed that there was an unclear smile in the closed eyes of Gao Mujian.
Until Du Du patted himself on the shoulder, "Child, are you okay, what are you laughing at?" Open your eyes, open your eyes. Hou Jun came back to his senses, "My lord, I think I should be Gao Jun." I also know that my grandfather was the official department Shangshu, Xu Guogong, and Taifu Gao Shilian; He has six sons, my father is the fifth, called Gao Shenxing, Chinese New Year's Eve is six years old today, I have a stepmother Cui, and my stepmother has a daughter named Cui Yan, who is eighteen years old. ”
Hou Jun just mechanically said the inexplicable relevant information that I don't know who forced into his mind, even he was a little surprised, he took out the piece of jade and looked at it, very clumsy.
There is some information, Hou Jun only knows what it is, but he doesn't know why.
For example, why is Cui Yan, the younger sister of "his", not surnamed Gao, but surnamed Cui? Hou Jun tried to pick up those messy related memory fragments in his mind, but a picture that made his face warm and heartbeat suddenly jumped out very clearly, Hou Jun hurriedly pressed this thought, thinking that this tall man must have hidden the memories related to Cui Yan in the most difficult place to touch.
"Haha, kid, what else do you know?" Master Guo looked at him incredulously, "It seems that this is really providential." Guo Dudu looked at the person, "He will park here for half a day at most, and he will have a lot of dreams at night."
"My lord, we still have to make him look like me, I came to Xizhou, I can't be unclear that there is no whereabouts." Hou Jun thought of Liu's family, and his heart tingled. Lord Guo bowed.
