It turned out that the horse, which Hou Jun called "charcoal", had been lying under the collapsed thatched hut at night, and did not jump around when the house collapsed. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info After hearing Hou Jun's scream, he jumped up and shook off the ruins on his body, but it seemed that he had been waiting for the master's order in the dark, and its performance couldn't help but make Hou Jun and Liu even more fond of it.

It looks much better than last night, firstly, it has plenty of rest, and secondly, it has eaten some forage, showing a bit of vigorous momentum.

And Liu's after the collusion with Hou Jun just now, the mood is also inexplicably better, the sorrow of the past few days has been swept away, it seems that there is a blush on the face, although the future days have not yet settled, seeing that there are a lot of hard days waiting for them, but the house has also collapsed, but Hou Jun's change of attitude towards her is the most important, she feels that life is not so difficult for the first time, after all, he can hit crows in that kind of weather, it seems that these years have not been wasted in Zhongnanshan.

Women are always more realistic than men when it comes to life, and they always see at a glance the keys to overcoming cold and hunger. She looked around, and after the wind stopped, there were several grass houses not far away, and the wind had lifted off the roofs of a few grass houses, and those people had also hibernated in the heavy wind and snow until dawn, and now they had all climbed up from the snowdrifts, some were picking up the daily necessities buried by the wind and snow in the snow, and some were sorting out materials and recovering shelters.

Liu looked at Hou Jun inquiringly, but found that he was sweating profusely at the moment, and he didn't know where to find a hemp rope, tie it to those rafters and purlins, and put the other end on the charcoal fire, and drag the old roof away from the original site. After cleaning up the dirt and snow, he looked at the materials that had been sorted out, as if talking to himself, and as if he was saying to Liu, "Things have been damaged a lot, and they can't be built on the original scale anymore." ”

She immediately said, "Then let's do it first, it's freezing right now, and there's nowhere to look for it." After saying that, she found that after she got up this morning, there were indescribable changes in some places, "Didn't the shepherd talk about it when he left yesterday, and there are serious things waiting for us today."

They can only temporarily build a shack on the original basis, the top of the shed is pointed, and the highest point is only one person to be high, people have to bend down to get in, the space inside Liu has also been seen, if you sleep two people, it is indeed a bit crowded, and you have to get tired of your legs, but this is not bad, and your heart is much more calm.

At this time, the village was completely lively, men and women talked loudly about the snowstorm at night, this was originally an almost deserted village, those rich and powerful most of them moved their families to Liuzhong County, and some went directly to Xizhou City, many old thatched huts are idle all year round, just the arrival of Hou Jun and their group of people, so that this place is lively again.

At this time, Hou Jun had just put up the shack, stepping on the snow from the village, and a person came over, this person was short and strong, with a dark face, curly hair, and only a jacket on his cold heavenly body, he was far away, so he shouted at Hou Jun and them, "Hey! I said, little brother, the house has collapsed? ”

Hou Jun just glanced at him, and found that this person's right pupil was different from others, with a white spot on it, and he was sure that this person was the one who stole firewood and peeped here yesterday evening, and he didn't have any good impression of him, but since people took the initiative to come over to say hello, they couldn't be too cold, so he replied simply, "Yes, just after I stayed, I encountered this incident." ”

"My name is Luo Quan, it's okay to call me Brother Luo and Luo Zi", Luo Quan reported to his home, "We came all the way together, there was a bad master watching me on the way before, and I didn't say anything, it's okay from now on, we are all law-abiding citizens, and we all have to make a living in the ranch, little brother, you will follow your brother in the future, how about it?" ”

Luo Quan said, his eyes kept looking at Liu's side, and his legs and feet also came over, at this time, Liu's was shaking off a few pieces of bedding by the shack that had just been built, Hou Junxin said You are still a law-abiding citizen, I think you are a thief and difficult to change. However, he still answered, "That's natural, and the younger brother will have to take care of Luo Ge more here in the future." ”

Luo Quan was already pacing the edge of the shed, Liu Shi just got up and stood up after paving the inside, and he couldn't help but see Luo Quan's door panel like his body was pressing over, startled, and hurriedly retreated, if this step retreated later, the two of them would inadvertently bump into each other, Liu's feet stumbled, his body lost control, and the whole person fell to the side, screaming "Oops!" ”。

Luo Quan hurriedly went to help, but didn't touch anyone, Hou Jun somehow got to Liu's side, the movement was not big, stretched out his forearm under Liu's right armpit, but others couldn't see Hou Jun's action, Liu's body stabilized, but his face was not very good, and said to Luo Quan, "This Brother Luo, look at it, there are still a lot of things to do at the moment, after a while, we are done, let Xiaojun go to your side to have a good chat, how about it?" "This is obviously an eviction order, who knows that Luo Quan doesn't care about Liu's words, just now he wanted to fish in troubled waters, pretending to take advantage of Liu's family unintentionally, and didn't want to make a wishful thinking. He didn't give up yet, and laughed, "It's okay, you're busy with you, since you called me here as a big brother, I have to look like a big brother, and don't hide it from my younger brother and sister," he looked around, and found that Liu's face was suddenly a little red, and he still lowered his voice and said, "Don't hide it from you two, last night, I saw an official master......

Liu was uncomfortable with Luo Quan's words just now, and asked when he heard the words, "It seems that Brother Luo has already made contact with that master?" ”

"Exactly!" He leaned towards the Liu family, and the Liu family twisted away, and then approached Hou Jun, and whispered, "Who is the deputy pastor who came yesterday?" ”

"I want to hear about it."

"I don't know much about this, but I've seen the housekeeper under the deputy pastor, the surname is Luo, and your eldest brother is a family five hundred years ago, to say that this Luo steward, in front of the deputy pastor is talking and talking, yesterday I talked with Luo steward, Luo steward is very appreciative of my origin, said to arrange a steward for me in the ranch."

"In this way, the younger brother first congratulated Brother Luo." Hou Jun said.

"That's natural, we will be the villagers in the future, don't talk about outsiders, that Lord Luo is worried about the family affairs of the deputy pastor, and he is also worried about the things in the ranch - you don't know this, the deputy pastor doesn't come here often, and nine out of ten things in the ranch need the nod of this Lord Luo."

After a long time, he is a second housekeeper, the deputy pastor, since he has a subword, at most he is a housekeeper, and the housekeeper of a housekeeper is not the second housekeeper, what kind of person is Liu, I think that at the beginning, the officials of the second and third grades did not dare to step steadily in front of her, this big brother Luo Zi said for a long time that he was just a second housekeeper. She put down the words in her hand, and saw a hint of unexplained ridicule on the corner of Hou Jun's mouth, and suddenly remembered that the one who was killed with a knife when he was thirteen years old was also a second housekeeper.

Another young couple in their thirties, a man and a woman, accompanied an old man, in his fifties, with a windproof blue cloth wrapped around his head and a goatee, which was the same Muramasa he had seen yesterday. The Tang Empire paid attention to four families and one neighbor, five neighbors and one guarantee, five guarantees and one mile, and five miles and one township. There are Li Zheng, the village has the village Zheng, the maintenance has the chief, and the neighbor has the neighbor chief, who is responsible for managing the daily trivial affairs of the township, don't look at the village official, but the various decrees issued by the center of the imperial rule to the grassroots level, as well as the household registration audit, flood and drought conscription, and conscription and salary of the three provinces and six ministries, must be implemented by the village leader.

Luo Quan looked at the three of them approaching, and said in a long story short, "That's the case, brother, I see that Lord Luo works hard every day, and sometimes he has to rush back to Liuzhong County in the middle of the night. ”

Liu was stunned, and the two families only faced each other once, and then they made the decision for others and gave away other people's things. Hou Jun laughed angrily, and said categorically, "This benevolent brother, if you want to send it, send it," Luo Quangang didn't expect the other party's hairy boy to be so easy to speak, Hou Jun continued, "It's really not to send, big brother, you personally carried this Lord Luo back and forth to Liuzhong, and others can't interfere, but the little brother's horse is a horse with a fate of thousands of miles, and he just got it yesterday, so he was embarrassed to give it away." ”

"You, you...... How can you still talk with a big pant. Luo Quan was choked like something in his throat, he couldn't go up or down, he just said angrily, "My words are here, whether you are willing or not, you two will weigh it again, Lord Luo, don't say that you want a horse, you just want people, which one dares not to give it!" After saying that, he shook his hand and left, just bumped into the village that came, and he didn't apologize, turned around and left.

The three people who had just arrived looked at Luo Quan who was leaving, and the man with the food bag on his back said first, "I will accompany my father and my daughter-in-law to deliver you today's food", and stood aside without saying much. However, the woman was holding a roll of luggage in her arms, and said crisply, "In the evening, my father said that Xizhou has never had such a heavy snow for so many years, but there must be some old houses that can't be forbidden, and sure enough, let him say, today the sheepfold in my family has also fallen, and I am busy until now, I guess you didn't have the time to eat it when you came early, and you didn't freeze yesterday, right?" She took Liu's hand and asked for warmth, "Seeing that my sister's age is only younger than me, I will hold it older, and my sister will call me sister, don't look at my father-in-law is the village Zheng, but our two families are neighbors, and he is also the neighbor chief, first of all, the food is distributed by the government, but the luggage is our own, and we will return it after use."

Liu looked at the village girl, twenty-eight or nine years old, she did look older than herself, but when she spoke, her face was flushed with ruddy brilliance, she was a straight temper, and she didn't feel good about her, and said, "Sister, why didn't I see you come yesterday, and there was no one to talk to at night, and the house still collapsed, so it's boring." ”

"Yo Yo, sister, you say so, is this brother also like our brother, kicking three feet without saying a word? But you have to tell this brother, you can't be too honest, my family, you see, someone came to pull me away at the moment, and he wouldn't squeak. ”

"How can you?" The young man said embarrassedly in a low voice, "Pull the sheep away, I won't say anything, pull you away, it's not okay." The old man immediately interrupted, "You two children, as soon as you meet, you will pour all the details to others," he turned to Hou Jun and said, "My son, born with me, is a child who can be explained, but if there is no daughter-in-law of mine to lock up, there are twenty sheep that will be pulled away." ”

The woman asked, "The black loach person just now stole your firewood yesterday," the old man said a little embarrassed when he heard this, "Originally, as a village leader, I should take care of this matter, but you also know that the people you came this time have all committed lawsuits, and you don't know what the details are.

"Daddy!" The woman called out to remind the old man, and the old man quickly turned around and said, "Although you have come together, the prisoner is very different from the prisoner. Hou Jun hurriedly interrupted and didn't let him continue on this topic, and asked him, "Dad said that this snowstorm has not been encountered for many years, what happened?" ”

"It's all up to how old the old man is, since I can remember, there has never been such a big snow in this place in Xizhou, and there are nearly 300 days of sunshine in a year, otherwise how can this place be opened up to be a horse farm? Horses have to eat grass. ”

The old man said that there were 19,100 households and 49,000 mouths in Xizhou. There are five counties: Qianyuan, Liuzhong, Jiaohe, Puchang, Tianshan County, all counties are located in the oasis in the desert, all suitable for raising horses, so there are pastures.

"So what is the origin of this deputy pastoral supervisor mentioned by Brother Luo Zi?" Liu Shi lost no time in asking, maybe the old man's family lives here all the year round, and they should be able to know a thing or two.

"Speaking of this, the average person is not clear, the pastoral supervision system is our unique system in Datang, where there is a pasture, there must be a pastoral supervisor, deputy supervisor, but also Cheng, the main Bo, the direct division, the regimental officer, the shepherd, the horse, the shepherd, the group leader, these official positions have a deputy, each performing its own duties, but the self-pro is not here on weekdays, the family, real estate are at least located in the county, and the daily is the presence of the shepherd."

"As for the deputy shepherd you mentioned, I don't know which one you are referring to, because there are two deputy shepherds in this pasture, one surnamed Gao, the other surnamed Lu, and the surname Lu who came yesterday. The housekeeper Luo who came with Deputy Supervisor Lu Mu was a close confidant of the senior deputy pastor, and speaking of which, the senior deputy pastor didn't care much about the ranch, but I heard that there was a background, but I only heard that it was the son and nephew of some senior bureaucrat in the court. ”

"Who is the shepherd?"

"Don't ask me about this, I haven't seen the shepherd here, this is not unusual, there are two deputy shepherds under his hands, of course the chief shepherd doesn't have to take care of things, just take care of big things."

Hou Jun and the Liu family also knew when they heard this, and they wanted to come to this ranch and met three lazy shopkeepers, who were not in charge of anything, and they usually covered the sky with only one hand here, and they were almost the masters of Luo Zi five hundred years ago. No wonder just got involved, this Luo Zi is so domineering. It seems that because of the charcoal fire, it will be a little difficult to do, and everything can only be decided by waiting for the other party to find the head again.

While a few people were talking, they saw the sound of hooves at the mountain pass outside the village, stepping on a layer of snow mist, and a team of horses galloping majestically. The village girl said, "The county steward is here, let's hide", she pulled the man and the old man back in a hurry, and turned back to the Liu family, "Sister, be careful of the person surnamed Luo Na just now, I think he doesn't just like your horses." ”
