In 1927****** set up a separate "Nationalist Government" in Nanjing, cooperated with Feng Yuxiang, and was forced to leave the field in August and visit Japan in October to seek support due to his isolation and helplessness in the contradictions and struggles with Wang Jingwei, Li Zongren and other factions. After returning to China, he married Song Meiling, and since then he has ****** married Song Ziwen and Kong Xiangxi, and strengthened his ties with the United States through them. In January 1928, he reassumed the post of commander-in-chief, and in February presided over the Fourth Plenary Session of the Second Central Committee of the Kuomintang, which comprehensively changed Sun Yat-sen's revolutionary policies, at which he was elected chairman of the Central Political Committee and Chairman of the Military Commission. In April, he formed four group armies with Feng Yuxiang, Yan Xishan, and Li Zongren to march north, defeated the Feng warlord Zhang Zuolin, and ended the rule of the Beiyang warlords. In October, he was appointed chairman of the Nationalist Government and commander-in-chief of the army, navy, and air force, reorganized the Nationalist Government, and implemented the "discipline and administration" of "first securing the interior before attacking the outside world." In order to establish the situation of personal dictatorship, he called for "disarmament construction" and tried to "organize" the armies of Feng Yuxiang, Yan Xishan, and Li Zongren, which aggravated the contradictions with various powerful military factions. With the support of imperialism and the big bourgeoisie in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, he defeated the armed forces of various factions one by one, and also defeated the confrontation of Wang Jingwei, Hu Hanmin, Sun Ke and other factions, thus consolidating his dictatorship. At the same time, due to the need to resist Japan, those warlords took the initiative to take refuge in ****** for the purpose of saving the country, and the warlord melee ended.

In the factional confrontation battle, the team led by the warlord commander Wu Xian attacked on the battlefield for a few days and nights, due to the lack of brave and good generals like Fang Xuan Fangmin to lead the soldiers to attack, some soldiers thought of Fang Xuan Fangmin's fate, so they were unwilling to work hard, plus the guards were short and deducted two pounds on the salary, so everyone complained, morale was low, and they were driven straight into by the other party, and suffered heavy losses. Taking advantage of Wu Xian's inattention, he quietly slipped away, and when Wu Xian was about to lead the soldiers to break through at night, he was surrounded by regiments, and a burst of machine gun fire killed Wu Xian immediately.

Fu guards took advantage of the chaos to sneak back to the camp and ran into Wu Xian's mansion, the wives saw Fu guards coming back, and hurriedly came up to ask about the battle situation and Wu Xian, Fu guards told everyone that Wu Xian was dead, and quickly ran for their lives, the wives panicked, and hurried back to the room to clean up the soft, Fu guards sat in front of the door of the living room, playing with guns in their hands, and when the wives were about to go out of the gate with their bags, they raised their guns and shot fiercely, and fell in front of the gate one by one, and the wives who walked behind didn't have time to figure out what was going on, and they were bulleted. After killing all the wives and family members, the Fu guards stood up, walked over with a sinister smile, took the baggage from the wives' side, took off the gold and silver bracelets they wore and stuffed them into the baggage, put all the baggage on the living room table, thought about it for a while, opened all the baggage one by one, bundled all the gold and silver in one bag, took the rest of the clothes in his hand and looked at it, and left the estimated value left, and threw the worthless ones on the ground. Then he picked up the burden and went into the room to search again, and did not let go of the valuable utensils when he saw them, and finally packed them together with the money he usually collected and saved, and was about to go out and abscond, only to see his brother seriously injured and stumble into the door with his son Shengchang.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?" The guard put down his burden and ran over to help his brother.

"I was blown up by a shell, Shengchang's mother has been blown up, and I'm dying." My brother said weakly.

"I'll take you with me, let's go back to our hometown, my salary is enough for us to make a living in the next life." The Fu guard was about to turn around to get the baggage, but was stopped by his brother.

"I can't leave, you can't leave with me, those officers and soldiers are still looking for you everywhere, and they want to arrest you to get paid. You help me take Shengchang away, if you run away, don't go back to your hometown, it's best to escape to a place where no one knows you, live incognito, live at home, help me raise Shengchang, and I will be satisfied. My brother said.

"Daddy, I want you to come with us." Sheng Chang pulled his father and cried.

"Don't be sluggish, the officers and soldiers will come over in a while, I can still resist here, you guys go quickly." My brother urged.

Fu guards hesitated again and again, feeling that his brother was right, so he picked up the burden, pulled up Shengchang and ran out of the door, when he was about to reach the gate, he saw a team of officers and soldiers with guns to search over, Fu guards quickly pulled Shengchang to hide behind the gate, signaling Shengchang not to make a sound, those officers and soldiers walked into the gate and searched straight inside, Fu guards quickly pulled up Shengchang and ran out of the gate, ran along the stone roadway for a while, but there was no exit, so he stopped, found a low wall, bowed up, Let Sheng Chang step on his back to climb the wall and turn over, Sheng Chang with both hands lying on the wall tiles, accidentally scratched his hands by the tiles and bleeding, when he felt pain, Fu guards urged to hurry up, so he had to endure the pain, with all his strength over the wall and jumped down, Fu guards heard a bang on the side of the wall, knew that Shengchang had passed, and was about to climb over the wall when he suddenly heard a few gunshots in the courtyard, knowing that his brother was killed, he had to endure the pain and jumped off the wall, and fled to the distance with Shengchang.

After Fang Min escaped from the ancient city with Lingzhi, he walked all the way over the mountains and mountains to the deep mountains, when he was tired, he stopped under the ginkgo tree on the trail to rest, when he was thirsty, he used wide leaves to pull a funnel into a funnel to drink in the dripping deep stream, and when he was hungry, he used the branches to dig wild sweet potatoes and pick wild tree fruits to satisfy his hunger, Lingzhi had few words along the way, no crying or making trouble, Fang Min asked her to rest and let her eat, and let her eat her, Mu Ran's eyes made Fang Min feel distressed, and he arrived at a place called Baishajing, which was inaccessible, and the caves on both sides were rugged and terrifying, The thick vines in the cracks of the stone climbed wantonly, the big drops of water on the rocks fell ticking and ticking, the sound resounded in the ears, Lingzhi lay on Fang Min's back and fell asleep, Fang Min because he heard the elders say that this white sand well was a place where bandits were rampant and often killed people in the past, so he was doubly vigilant, took out a pistol from his baggage and held it in his hand, and observed from all sides that he continued to walk forward with Lingzhi on his back.

After passing the white manhole, there is another corn field, in the middle of a sheep intestine path leads straight to the distant mountain beam, the corn on both sides is growing vigorously, with the wind blowing, the corn leaves rub against each other, making a swishing sound. Fang people's police consciously did not take the sheep intestine path, but walked directly into the corn forest, through the head of the high corn stalk to cover the body, after walking for a while, Lingzhi was woken up, shouting to drink water, Fang Min looked left and right, there is nowhere to get water here, thought about it, so put down Ganoderma lucidum, cut off a corn stalk, shave the corn leaves, fold it into two sections, hold one section and chew it, and hand the other section to Ganoderma lucidum, Lingzhi took it, learned from Fang Min's way to chew the corn stalk, slowly ate the sweetness of the pole, and ate more and more vigorously, Fang Min saw this, Picked another one and handed it to her, after Lingzhi finished eating, he pulled her on the road again, at this time it began to get dark, Fang Min estimated that he couldn't get out of this cornfield, so he simply took Lingzhi into the depths of the corn, knocked down a piece of the corn stalk with his body, brought them together, blocked the wind with his body, and lay on the corn stalk with Lingzhi and clothes, Lingzhi snuggled up to Fang Min's arm tightly, and quickly fell asleep, Fang Min wiped the mud off his mouth for Lingzhi with his hand, turned his face around to listen to the surrounding movements, Except for the cries of all kinds of insects and the sound of corn leaves blown by the breeze, there was silence all around, and Fang Min slowly fell asleep looking at the stars in the sky.

When he woke up the next day, the sun shone on his body, and the water droplets on the ground formed a thin mist under the sunlight, surrounding the corn forest, Fang Min rubbed his eyes, looked down at Ganoderma lucidum, and saw that she was already looking at herself with wide eyes.

"Wake up, why don't you make a sound?" Fang Min asked.

"Uncle, I'm going to make it convenient." Lingzhi whispered.

Fang Min hurriedly stood up, took Lingzhi out a few steps, motioned her to squat on the spot, and walked away, standing with his back to Lingzhi, and after Lingzhi was convenient, he took out half of the baked cake from his bag and handed it to Lingzhi, Lingzhi sensibly wrenched it in half, ate half of it himself, and handed half to Fang Min, Fang Min took it and couldn't help but wet his eyes, and quickly turned around to prevent Lingzhi from finding out, and then pulled up Lingzhi and no longer walked on the cornfield, but walked directly towards the mountain beam.

Turning over the mountain beam, finally saw a few houses sparsely on the slope of a half-hill, Fang Min took Lingzhi straight towards the house, only to see clearly that it was a Miao Tunbao, the periphery of the Tunpu is surrounded by slate bricks into a wall more than two meters high, every meter or so there is a small hole, used to observe the outside or shoot with a gun, all the houses around are surrounded in the Tunpu, only an open stone gate can be entered, Fang Min took Lingzhi to the front of the stone gate, explained the intention to the people guarding the village in front of the door, the people guarding the village looked them up and down with suspicious eyes, I took Fang Min and Lingzhi into the door, inside is a narrow bluestone slab passage separated from the house, the passage is crooked, the doors of people on both sides are closed, some of the doors are hung in front of the corn cob, every house has a small observation hole, Fang Min only felt that there seemed to be countless pairs of eyes staring in front of him, after turning a few corners, he came to a simple wooden gatehouse, the smoke was burning inside, walk into the door, the yard is a Tai Chi gossip pattern made of stone slabs, just north is a few stone steps, go up the steps, Only then did I see that it was a brazier in the middle, the firewood in the brazier was constantly smoking, there were a few blackened and slender bacon hanging on it, and the walls of the eaves were hung with chili, garlic, ginger, corn, etc., and several people wearing Miao costumes were sitting on the floor and drinking.

"Elder, these two people came to our cottage, saying that they had taken refuge and begged us to take them in." The keeper said to the few people who were drinking on the floor.

"Where did it come from?" An elder asked.

"From the ancient city." Fang Min replied.

"The ancient city is a good place, why do you want to come to our cottage?" Another elder asked.

"Chased and killed by the enemy, there is no way out, so I have to take my daughter to the cottage, and the elders can take us in for the sake of our father and daughter." Fang Min said.

"The enemy is chasing you, you hide in our cottage, it will bring trouble to the cottage, I'm afraid I won't dare to take you in." The elder said.

"I beg the elders to take us in for the sake of my daughter's young age, if we cause trouble, we will leave immediately, and we will not be involved in the cottage." Fang Min knelt down and said.

The elders stopped speaking for a while, and looked at the one sitting inside, only to see that the one turned slightly sideways, holding a long cigarette stick, but speaking in the voice of a woman.

"It's pitiful to see them helpless. The gods have called us to give to the poor and the weak, and to give to all. As he said, he left behind and gave them the slate house at the head of the village to live in. But even if you are Han Chinese, you must also abide by the rules of the cottage, and if you are disrespectful, you will immediately sweep the floor and go out. ”

"Elder Xie takes him in, and he must abide by the rules." Fang Min kowtowed in thanks, then picked up Lingzhi and followed the guards to the slate house at the head of the village.

In front of the slate house, the keeper turned around and left after pointing to Fang Min, Fang Min tried to push the door open, a damp musty smell hit, it was full of dust and cobwebs, Fang Min let Lingzhi stand outside the door, he covered his nose and went in, found a pair of wooden barrels and flat poles and lifted them out, and was thinking about where to get water, at this time a little boy in ragged clothes and unkempt hair ran over, looked at Fang Min and Lingzhi for a while, pointed to the bucket, and pointed to the distance, Fang Min understood, so he picked up the bucket and prepared to go in the direction that the little boy pointed, Lingzhi timidly grabbed Fang Min, looked at the little boy with a nervous expression, Fang Min knew that Lingzhi was afraid, so he took Lingzhi's hand and walked together, the little boy ran to Fang Min to lead the way, walked not far, saw a huge plum tree on the side of the road, it was full of turquoise plums, the little boy reached out and picked a few, took a plum and wiped it on his clothes, then put it in his mouth to eat, and handed the rest to Fang Min and Lingzhi, Fang Min smiled, took two, handed one to Lingzhi, and then also learned the little boy to wipe on his clothes and eat, Lingzhi took the plum in his hand, looked at the two of them but did not eat, just followed, after a while he heard the sound of running water in front of him, walked in and looked, only to see in the middle of a pond, two branches crossed to support a large bark, the bark one end caught the water flowing out of the crack in the stone, along the bark recess to the other end, flowing in the pond with a bang, the pond edge floating leaves, vegetable leaves and insects, Fang Min put down the bucket, first on the edge of the pond to wash the flat shoulder, and then the barrel was also washed, and then put it at the water flow to receive water, Lingzhi carefully walked to the side and squatted, put the plums into the water and washed them, before picking them up and eating, the little boy saw her like this, he also walked to the pond and squatted, held the water with his hands and washed it on his face, and smiled at Lingzhi with a mouthful of white teeth, Lingzhi finished eating plums, and also learned that he washed his face with water, after Fang Min received the water, he hung the wooden bucket on the flat shoulder, squatted down and picked up the bucket, the little boy ran in front, Lingzhi followed, and Fang Min carried the water back to the front of the slate house.

Fang Min put down the bucket, first carried a bucket of water into the room to sprinkle it, then found a broom, cleaned it inside and out, and then used another bucket of water to scrub all the tables, stools and other utensils in the room, and the whole room lit up for a while. Fang Min was about to go to the pond again to fetch water, and told Lingzhi to stay in front of the house and play with the little boy, Lingzhi nodded, the little boy took out a slingshot from his pocket, and showed Lingzhi how to shoot birds, Lingzhi tried it, because of insufficient strength, the stone shot out was only two meters away, the little boy couldn't help laughing, and Lingzhi also laughed.

Since then, Fang Min took Lingzhi to follow the young people in the cottage to hunt and pick wild mountain mushrooms, some young people are not accurate in marksmanship, Fang Min took the initiative to teach them to aim at the stars and shoot, sometimes a day harvest is quite rich, Fang Min left the big prey and wild mountain mushrooms to the cottage elders, he and Ganoderma lucidum only take small pheasants, wash the wild mountain mushrooms together and put them into the round pot to cook, after a while, a fragrance wafted all over the house, Lingzhi smacked his mouth, sensibly added firewood to the fire pit, and waited for it to be cooked, Fang Min stuffed two corn into the ashes of the fire pond to burn, The red fire shone on the faces of the two people, Fang Min helped Lingzhi stroke the hair on his forehead, the two looked at each other and smiled, Fang Min felt warm in his heart. After the pheasant in the jar was cooked, Fang Min picked out a chicken leg and handed it to Lingzhi, Lingzhi took it and slowly blew and ate it, Fang Min peeled off the leaves of the cooked corn, put it aside to cool, and waited for Lingzhi to finish eating the chicken legs, and then took the corn as rice.

The two of them were eating deliciously, and suddenly heard a noise by the door, and the two looked towards the door, it turned out that the little boy was lying on the side of the door and watched them eat and was distracted, and opened the door, Fang Min went over and pulled the little boy in, handed him a chicken leg, the little boy took it and ate it unceremoniously, smacking his lips while eating, and Lingzhi gave him a corn after he finished eating.

"What's your name? Where's your mom and dad? Fang Min asked.

"Everyone calls me a wild child, but my father and mother are gone." The little boy said as he ate.

"And who have you been with?" Fang Min asked curiously.

"I've been with the elders, but they don't care much about me." The little boy said.

"The wild child is not a human name, let me give you a name, let me think, well, the plums you picked for us that day are delicious, let's call you little plums." Fang Min said.

"Then I'll call you Little Plum from now on." Lingzhi said with a smile.

"In the future, if you want to come to us, you can come directly, and if there is something for us, you will eat." Fang Min stroked his hair and said.

"Okay, I'll go up to the mountains with you to hunt and collect fungi in the future." Xiao Lizi said happily.

Later, Fang Min slowly learned that the leader of the cottage was a female elder, said to be an elder, in fact, he was in his early twenties, because her father used to be the owner of the village, one day he went out hunting, and never came back, so the people in the village pushed her to inherit the owner of the village, and she had difficulty walking on her feet due to polio since she was a child, and most of the time she was lying on the floor. On the day Fang Min brought Lingzhi to defect, she saw Lingzhi's dull face a little, and felt pity, so she left them behind.

Entering the wax moon, the weather is getting colder and colder, Fang Min learned from the people in the village to dry the fur of the prey, and simply made Ganoderma lucidum, small plums and their own clothes to wear on their bodies to keep out the cold, Lingzhi in the company of small plums, with a group of male and female children in the village mixed with each other, they no longer pestered Fang Min all day long, but with the children in the village to play with the high warp, peek-a-boo, play sticks, etc., the smile on the face gradually increased. The women in the village were busy preparing for the New Year, and they made an appointment to borrow the stone mill in front of his door from Fang Min, ready to grind beans to make tofu for the New Year, Fang Min helped to try it, the stone mill was too heavy, and several people couldn't move, Fang Min suggested that everyone didn't need to move, just take the soaked beans from home and grind them themselves. So the women lined up with soaked beans from the big pots and small basins at home, Fang Min helped to grind, and the women were responsible for adding beans to the grinding hole, only to see the white soy milk flowing out of the stone demon cracks, and the women took the soy milk and left happily, and in the evening, they sent the made tofu to Fang Min one by one, and Fang Min was busy thanking him.

In the early morning of this day, Lingzhi was wrapped in the quilt and slowly opened his eyes, only to see a white light outside the window, so he climbed on the windowsill and looked out through the straw by the window, it turned out that it was snowing heavily, and there were icicles hanging by the eaves, and there was a sound of pigs crying in the distance, and Fang Min put on his clothes and walked over.

"Cover the quilt and don't catch a cold." Fang Min said.

"Uncle, the snow outside is so heavy, I'm going to get up to see the snow." Lingzhi said.

"Get dressed first." Fang Min said.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Xiao Lizi was heard shouting outside:

"Uncle, Lingzhi, hurry up, kill pigs in the village today, hurry up and pick up the intestines."

Lingzhi and Fang Min opened the door while dressing, and Xiao Lizi stepped in, holding a bowl in his little hand that was red from the cold, his clothes and hat were full of snow, and the shoes on his feet were also soaked. Listen to Xiao Lizi said that the customs on the village, close to the New Year, no matter which family kills pigs, everyone in the village can take a bowl to pick up some pig blood, pig offal, etc., indicating that the coming year is prosperous, so it is called intestinal Wang. But if the owner's family has finished killing the pigs and cleaning up the stall, they can't pick it up anymore. After the intestines are put home, the whole village will gather at noon to have a pig-killing meal together. After hearing the reason, Fang Min also took a bowl and followed Xiao Lizi with Lingzhi towards the pig-killing family.

Gather a bunch of people in front of a house, several adults press a big fat pig screaming, one picks up the ****** and stabs it in, suddenly a stream of blood spurts out, the other person quickly holds a big basin at the bottom to catch, the big fat pig barks a few times, then no longer moves, after the blood is finished, the host carries out a large pot of hot water, everyone puts the pig into the hot water and rolls a few times, then the pig is lifted out and hung on a ladder, and then begins to shave, after a while, a white fat pork is presented in front of everyone's eyes, The adults and children who were watching couldn't help but smack their lips. The person who killed the pig rinsed it with water again, and then went down with a knife to disembowel his belly, and a large stream of hot air came out, and the pig's internal organs slid into the basin.

The adults and children who came to pick up the intestines took the initiative to line up, and the host family cut some internal organs and scooped up some pig blood for them one by one.

Fang Min took the intestines home, took out the tofu given by the women, washed the intestines, poured the tofu into it, tied the two sides tightly, and hung it above the fire pit to smoke. When it was almost time to eat lunch, Xiao Lizi urged vigorously for fear of going late, Fang Min took Ganoderma lucidum and Xiao Lizi to go to the pig killing house together, the whole village people gathered in front of the door, squatting on the snow, a large pot of fat slices, intestines, stomach, pig blood, etc., there was a big bowl of chili condiments on the side of the pot, the elders in the village sat in the house and ate the small pot, and the rest of the people were outside to catch the meat in the pot and dip the condiments or squat or stand on the ground to eat, everyone looked satisfied.

After Lingzhi and Xiao Lizi and other children were full, they ran to the open space in the village to build a snowman to play, and Fang Min was just about to turn around and go home, but was stopped by the elder and said:

"The wild children have become your parents' guests, thank you for helping to take care of them, and let your daughter have a companion."

"No thanks, I named him Xiao Lizi, it sounds better this way." Fang Min said.

"Oh, it's just that the people in the village don't know how to read, and they don't know what to name, and all the old and young have grown up working like this." The elder said.

"Otherwise, I'll teach these children how to read, because they can't get into the mountains when it's snowing right now." Fang Min thought for a while and said.

"Okay, it's just that there are no empty houses in the village." The elder said.

"No, just in my house, this snowy day won't let them get cold." Fang Min said.

"Then let the village allocate more firewood and food for you." The elder said.

So, the children in the village all gathered to Fang Min's house, Fang Min in order to teach the children to read, thought of a lot of ways, sometimes with a wooden stick on the ground, sometimes with water to write on the stone slab, sometimes with a wooden stick in the ash to draw, the children followed Fang Min to read aloud, the sound spread all over the cottage, the adults heard the sound of passing by the door of Fang Min's house, they couldn't help but stop to listen to the children read, their faces showed a satisfied look. Every day when the children came to Fang Min's house, they would bring some meat, eggs, corn cakes, etc. to Fang Min, who was very grateful and gave the children one by one after cooking the things to eat.

After the beginning of spring, Fang Min and the men in the village picked the food they hunted to the countryside ten miles away to sell, in exchange for some supplies and clothes, after the weather was warm, the children also scattered, some helped the family hunt, some helped loosen the soil and plant, some helped the pear field to plant seedlings, Ganoderma lucidum also learned to wash and wash vegetables, every day with a few girls to go to the pond to wash things, the pond side of the plum blossoms, peach blossoms bloomed one after another, the girls did not forget to put down the work in their hands, get up to pick a few flowers, or in their hands, or in their hair.

When the rice is ripe, the fish in the field also grow to a big swim bladder fat, the family begins to harvest the rice, release the water to catch the fish, adults and children are jubilant, have jumped into the mud field, let the mud wrap all over the body, especially the children, the face of the mud does not care, only follow the jumping fish to run, it is easy to catch one, but because the fish swings left and right, plus the hand slips, and the fish break free, and splash a face of mud.

Xiao Lizi took Lingzhi to catch fish, Lingzhi didn't dare to go down to the field, afraid of the leeches in the field, so he stood on the ridge with the basket, watching the little Lizi cheer and catch the fish that was happy, Lingzhi was also happy, and hurriedly raised the basket to load the fish for Xiao Lizi, the fish went into the basket and swayed wildly, Lingzhi looked down at the fish, full of joy.

In the evening, Fang Min made chili fish for them with the chili peppers planted behind his house, Lingzhi and Xiao Lizi ate happily, and after the meal, the three of them sat in front of the door and listened to Fang Min tell them the story of the Cowherd and Weaver Girl in the sky, until late at night, Xiao Lizi went back to the elder's house.

The cottage holds the "Eat New Festival", the fresh fish are shaved off and swollen with a straw rope and threaded, baked on the fire, the newly harvested rice is peeled, cooked with various plant materials, it is dyed into colorful colors, spread out on the bamboo mat, all kinds of fresh fruits are placed on the side, the cottage elders sit in the middle of the long table in turn, the rest of the people gather in a circle, an elder gets up and walks to the middle, waving the long knife in his hand, there are words in his mouth, the rest of the people follow him to read a sentence and answer, and finally the elder points the knife to the sky, and the rest of the people kneel to the ground together, Bow with both hands. Then only to listen to the order of the female elder, the person who carried the gong and beat the gong struck the gong, and circled along the clearing, and placed a log stake in the clearing, on which were dozens of sharp long knives, and the handle of the knife was tied with strips of red cloth, fluttering in the wind. A young man stood up, spat in his hand, rubbed his hands, and walked under the stake, and climbed up on the knife edge step by step with his bare feet, and the people around him gave out bursts of applause, and after the young man climbed to the top, he first made a handstand, and then spread his wings in the wind, and then quickly stepped on the knife edge and went down to the ground, and there was no trace of blood on his feet, the female elder instructed him to reward him with a roasted fish, and poured a glass of wine himself, and the young man took the wine glass and drank it all, and took the fish and chewed it, Seeing it, Fang Min had to admire.

"The newcomer, also give us Lulu your unique life." An elder said.

Everyone looked at Fang Min together, Fang Min was stunned for a while, thought for a while, took the powder gun from a young man, asked someone to untie a fish and hang it ten meters away, and then raised the gun, shot it, the rope hanging the fish was broken, the fish fell to the ground, Lingzhi trotted all the way over to pick up the fish, and respectfully handed it to the elders, the female elder took the fish, grabbed a handful of red, green, and green new rice from front of Lingzhi, Lingzhi took it, and ran back to Fang Min.

"Well, follow the rules, like our copycats." Another elder said.

Then a group of women held a small bench with both hands and danced all the way, Fang Min took Lingzhi to the side to watch, Lingzhi watched and learned to dance on the side, Rao is interesting, Xiao Lizi found two small benches from nowhere and handed them to her, Lingzhi was embarrassed, holding a small bench in his hand, tilting his head to look at Xiao Lizi and smiling shyly.

In the end, everyone in the village joined in singing "Eat New Song", men and women, old and young, together, stepping on a simple beat, slowly turning around the field and singing and dancing, only the female elder sat alone, everyone surrounded her in the middle, from time to time grabbed the new rice and sprinkled it on her, the red, green and green rice hung all over her hair, the female elder smiled and accepted everyone's blessings, only Lingzhi, holding Fang Min with one hand and Xiao Lizi with the other hand to follow everyone, but her eyes kept staring at the female elder's head full of rice.

In the blink of an eye, the rice in the field and the corn in the soil are ripe and bent down, with a gust of wind swinging, the people in the village are busy harvesting the rice, the women are holding sickles to cut, the men are struggling to beat the grain on the side of the fight, the millet is back to the dam in the village to cool the sun, the dried millet has to be blown by the wooden fan to enter the warehouse, this is the ration of the whole village people for a year, so the men, women and children are all out of the country, rushing to harvest in good weather, Fang Min and the men beat the grain together, carry the millet, Lingzhi and Xiao Lizi and other children helped to pull the rake on the dam to turn the millet back and forth, and the evening sunset slanted out the colorful glow of the sky, looking at it as if entering a golden world.

After harvesting the grain, the men went into the corn field and broke the corn from the corn stalks that began to dry up, threw them into the back basket they carried, and when they were full, they went to the cottage, and when they came to the field dam and leaned down, all the corn in the back basket was poured out on the ground, and the women sat and tore the corn leaves, and several of them were tied in knots, and they were hung in strings to cool the eaves of each house.

During this time, Fang Min had a sore back as soon as he entered the house, Lingzhi hurriedly brought tea to his uncle, and then pinched his uncle's back, looking at the red marks on his uncle's sun-red back and strangled by the back basket, Lingzhi asked while blowing with his mouth:

"Uncle, does it still hurt?"

"I have Ganoderma lucidum to blow on, and it feels much better." Fang Min said with a smile.

"Uncle, when you're tired, just rest." Lingzhi said distressedly.

"The whole village is working, and my uncle can't be lazy. The village took us in, and we were given food and shelter, and we couldn't let the family gossip. Fang Min said.

"I know, uncle." Lingzhi nodded and said.

After the harvest was completed, Fang Min and the men began to go up the mountain every day to cut firewood for the heavy snow to cover the mountain. In autumn, the trees in the mountains begin to lose their leaves, revealing their branches and slanting branches, and they hiss and rustle on the leafy clearing. According to the customs of the cottage, the adult tree can not be cut, it is protected by the gods, can only help prune the branches, and those small branches always grow on the edge of the cliff, Fang Min cat waist, one end into the jungle, hook the branches with a firewood knife, slowly pull, after the root of the tree knife down, pull hard, pull the branches over, and then throw it towards the slightly flat inside, after a while, the cut branches will be stacked into a small pile, everyone from everywhere, the stacked branches are neatly arranged, with small tree strips twisted into a rope to tie up, Then use the flat weight to judge and insert it, and then carry it down the mountain to go home. Fang Min went into the mountains every morning, carried two bundles of firewood home in the afternoon, and picked some wild fruits from time to time to bring to Lingzhi to eat.

Entering the late autumn, the people in the village tie up the rice stalks, corn stalks, bundle them in piles and put them on the edge of the field, in the dam or in the corner of the eaves, and the chopped firewood is also stored in the house and outside the house, these grass mounds are the places where children play hide and seek during the day, and at night they become the place where the young men and women in the village "travel to the party", and at night they hum love songs, go out to drill rice with their companions, "shake the horse", and the stars are scattered all over the cottage.

Fang Min accompanied Lingzhi and Xiao Lizi to tell stories and play in the house at night, and from time to time there was a woman's love song invitation at the door, Fang Min and Lingzhi didn't understand at first, but Xiao Lizi naughtily squeezed his eyebrows at Fang Min and said:

"Uncle, this is a girl who has taken a fancy to you and invited you to play."

Fang Min was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile:

"I'm so shabby, how can I be worthy of others."

"It's out of the way, just go out for a walk and talk. However, if you want to meet someone who is determined to be good with you, then you have to bring someone home. Xiao Lizi said.

"Then I can't go. Otherwise, in this case, you can help me go back with a mountain song. Fang Min said.

"Okay, look at me." Xiao Lizi cleared his throat, deliberately pinched his nose with his hand, and sang a few words outside the door, and sure enough, the woman singing outside the door gradually moved away, but it made Fang Min and Lingzhi laugh and bend over.

One night, after Fang Min sent away the little plum, settled Lingzhi to sleep, he was about to blow the lamp to sleep, suddenly heard a shout outside "on fire", Lingzhi suddenly woke up and sat up and called uncle, Fang Min let Lingzhi lie still, he put on his coat and ran out of the house to see, only to see a wooden building in the cottage at the corner, a fire burning, soon ignited the rice stalks on the side of other houses, instantly connected into a sea of fire, Fang Min went back to the house and told Lingzhi not to go out, picked up the bucket and went out to fight the fire with the people in the village, After the female elder escaped from the wooden building with the support of others and walked for a while, she suddenly remembered that Xiao Lizi was still in the house, so she called to stop and asked people to go back to find Xiao Lizi, when several people turned around and ran back to find Xiao Lizi, the wooden building was already a sea of fire, people couldn't get in at all, everyone in the village ran out, everyone struggled to put out the fire until midnight, and the fire was extinguished, and the house was burned to the stump of the eaves and broken walls, and it was constantly snorting and smoking. Fang Min took the lead in lighting a torch and walked in, looking around, calling Xiao Lizi's name from time to time, but he couldn't find it. It wasn't until after dawn that I saw Xiao Lizi being pressed horizontally by a roof beam, facing the ground, everyone ran over to lift the roof beam, turned Xiao Lizi over and took a look, only to see that Xiao Lizi was black all over, his face was bloodless, and he had already stopped breathing. The female elder beat her chest and blamed herself for not taking a good look at Xiao Lizi, everyone lowered their heads and said nothing, Lingzhi squeezed in and saw Xiao Lizi's appearance, her eyes widened in surprise, and she pulled Fang Min and asked:

"Uncle, what's wrong with Xiao Lizi?"

"Little Plum is dead." Fang Min said in a low voice.

"Uncle, I want small plums, I want small plums, and he said he would take me to pick wild fruits today." Lingzhi cried and shouted.

Fang Min wiped away his tears, pulled Lingzhi, and then looked up at the female elder, the female elder ordered to carry the little plum to the mountain to bury it, Fang Min walked over, picked up the little plum with both hands, Lingzhi followed, and the group accompanied the pickaxe and hoe at the same time and walked towards the mountain.

After burying the little plum, Lingzhi planted the wildflowers in his hand in front of the grave, and took out the slingshot given by the little plum from his pocket and put it in front of the grave, tears on his face kept flowing.

In the face of the burned cottage, the elders decided to move the whole village into a bigger village deep in the mountains, everyone packed up their simple household belongings and prepared to leave, Fang Min thought about it, walked to the female elder and said:

"I'm still not going into the mountains with the elders, I want to take my daughter back to the ancient city."

"Aren't you afraid that the enemy will hunt you down?" The female elder asked.

"It's been so long, it should be fine. Since he came to the cottage, he has been treated well by the elders, and Fang Min is grateful. After you leave, I will take my daughter on the road as soon as possible. We'll see you later. Fang Min clasped his hands into fists and said respectfully.

"In that case, then you should take care. Let's hit the road. The female elder said as she sat on the slider.

So the men, women and children in the entire cottage, followed by the female elders, supported each other, and slowly walked towards the deep mountains. Fang Min pulled Lingzhi until he couldn't see the elders, then turned around and went back to the house, simply packed up the things he was carrying, pulled up Lingzhi and left the cottage, the two of them turned back step by step, with infinite memories of the cottage, stepped on the sheep intestine path, passed through the white sand well, and walked back to the ancient city.
