Chapter 35: Sister, You Ride on the Bow of the Boat

Du Xiaoxi has been pestering Daddy Du to let himself go to chase his second brother these days.

Coquettishly selling cuteness, pinching shoulders and beating legs, crying, making trouble, and going on a hunger strike to conquer the dad's full set of plans, Daddy Du's heart is like hard iron and unmoved.

Daddy Du is a very qualified father, what is the three-year-old girl?

Dad couldn't figure it out, Du Xiaoxi decisively changed the goal, of course, it was not Du Niang, who was impossible to let go, but the third brother and the fourth brother, the two of them went together, and they could successfully get on the boat if they were impressed.

It's a pity that the third brother and the fourth brother are good children who listen to their father, and they decisively refuse it.

Du Xiaoxi is an indomitable good boy, and turned his head to find his hidden ally.

The eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law are responsible for packing the luggage, and Du Xiaoxi feels that the friendship between herself and the second sister-in-law who have shared the secret of having a child will definitely be able to successfully land in Normandy.

The result was naturally good, and after Du Xiaoxi's series of coercion and temptation, Ma Hongmei promised to properly stuff Du Xiaoxi onto the boat.

In fact, Ma Hongmei didn't want to do it at all, her man spoiled Du Xiaoxi, of course she knew that she was a mother-in-law. Ma Hongmei has always thought that Du Zhiyi favors Du Xiaoxi because she has no children and she is the only girl in the family, and when she gives birth to her son, Du Xiaoxi, the sister naturally stands aside, in order to prevent her man from being too good to Du Xiaoxi, any behavior that increases the closeness of the two must be eliminated. This time, I went all the way to pick up Du Er, of course, I had to resolutely refuse.

But Du Xiaoxi said to Ma Hongmei with a cute bun face, "If you don't send me over, I'll sue my second brother for secretly abusing me." Second brother, woo~~ It hurts! As he spoke, tears fell.

Ma Hongmei felt that she swore to her man that she had not abused his sister, and the possibility of being trusted was not as good as Du Xiaoxi's two crocodile tears, so she agreed angrily.

So, on this day of spring, on the way to find his brother in the boat, Du Xiaoxi woke up from the basket at the stern.

Lifting a few pieces of clothing on top of his head, Du Xiaoxi stood up straight, and found that he couldn't get out of the big basket alone, so he decisively asked for help.

"Fourth brother! Hold me out! ”

Du Zhizhong plucked out his ears and said to the third brother who was rowing slowly next to him: "Brother, how did I hear my sister's voice?" ”

Du Zhilian felt in his heart, and his brother also heard it.

"Fourth brother! Come and carry me out! ”

Du Zhilian Du Zhizhong turned his head stiffly, just like the jammed machine, and saw Du Xiaoxi holding the edge of the basket with one hand and greeting them warmly with the other.

Du Zhilian stood up and walked quickly to the stern of the boat, slipped Du Xiaoxiti out, and interrogated him.

"Who told you to come along?"

"Daddy!"

Du Zhilian and Du Zhizhong decisively did not believe it.

"How did you get out of the basket?"

"Climb in!"

"Who told you to climb in?"

"Fourth brother, I'm hungry!!"

The stomach growled twice.

The interrogation ends.

According to Second Brother Du, the place where he repaired the waterway is relatively close, more than 200 miles away from Shanshui County, and the two of them set off from Tianmengmeng and have walked almost 50 miles now, and it will be a waste of a day to send Du Xiaoxi back.

When Du Xiaoxi ate a small piece of steamed bun with salt-fried pork, the boat set off waddingly.

At this time, Du Xiaoxi had an extra hemp rope on his waist.

In the words of the third brother, the child can't sit still, wouldn't it be a sin if the girl fell into the water, let's tie the belt!

So, Du Xiaoxi was tied to Du Sange's belt by hemp rope.

With the newly baked 'long belt' wrapped around his waist, Du Xiaoxi admired the regressing scenery on both sides of the strait, and wanted to sing a song in his heart: 'Sister, you sit on the bow of the boat, and my brother rocks the boat!' Affection, love, love, and belt swinging! However, considering that if he really sang it, he would probably be thrown into the water by the third brother and his brain, Du Xiaoxi decided to sing it to himself in his stomach.

The place where Du Erge works can be reached by water and land, but the land route has to go over the mountains and mountains, and you may encounter fierce beasts.

The waterway is also going to go for a day, and suddenly a Du Xiaoxi Du Zhilian Du Zhizhong decisively sped up all the time, saying that he would arrive before dark.

Du Zhilian and Du Zhizhong rotated, one rowed for half an hour, and the remaining one looked at Du Xiaoxi.

Du Xiaoxi saw the two of them picking up their arms like hot wheels, and the guilt in his heart came out little by little. Intimately took advantage of the two of them to rest, and pinched the sore shoulders of the brothers.

At sunset, the three of them finally saw the big team.

It's really a team.

The army of the Great Shang Dynasty.

The success of the construction of a huge water conservancy project can be as short as 10 years or 8 years, and if it is long, it will not slow down for decades.

If Emperor Jiayuan was fifty or sixty years old, he would definitely not be so enthusiastic about repairing mountains and waterways, who knows that if he cultivates and cultivates, he will burp before he repairs the emperor. The credit and fame are all cheap to the son.

Emperor Jiayuan was in the prime of life, so he naturally wanted to ensure that the mountain waterway was completed perfectly in his imperial career.

In order to speed up the construction, construction began at both ends of Shanshui County and the mountain plain, not to mention, the labor in Shanshui County, the prisoners in custody in various places, and even many of the army were transferred by the emperor to repair the waterway.

The waterway in the mountains, like the North-South Grand Canal, must be tightly held in the hands of the emperor, and naturally there can be no forks in the construction project. The army in front of the three of them was different from the ordinary soldiers who worked, they were all the emperor's henchmen, and they would also be the masters of the military town on the mountain waterway in the future.

The fence with spikes was blocked in the middle of the river, and Du Zhilian and Du Zhizhong, who had heard the second brother say the general process, consciously landed on the shore.

Soldiers patrolling the shore had already greeted them with spears.

"Who? What are you doing here? ”

Du Zhilian arched his hand at the questioning soldier, took out his household registration from his arms and said: "We are from Dujia Village, Shanshui County, and this time I am here to replace the second brother Du Zhiyi to serve in labor, and I am tired of the military master." ”

There was also an unembroidered purse sent by the household registration, and the soldier pinched the silver in the purse, and after carefully reading the household registration, he beckoned the little soldier around him to rummage through the copied household registration information of Shanshui County.

"What's going on with this female doll?"

Everyone's eyes fell on Du Xiaoxi, who was smiling.

Du Xiaoxi smirked, originally thought that just a few officials with leather whips were watching it, the ghost knew that the defense was so strict!

Du Zhilian smiled embarrassedly: "My sister is stubborn, so I came over to pick up her second brother in person." ”

The soldier also knew that Du Xiaoxi's big bean Ding couldn't do anything big, but the military discipline was like a mountain, and idle people were not allowed to enter at all, so he said with a cold face: "Your younger brother and sister have to wait here, and they are not allowed to leave inside." ”

Of course Du Zhilian can't agree, now that it's getting dark, how can he rest assured that Du Zhizhong and Du Xiaoxi will spend the night on the shore?

Fortunately, he has a killer feature!

"Master Jun, don't look at my sister, she is a newly accepted lay disciple of Master Xile, for the sake of the master, let her follow in, right? Children will be scared at night. ”

The killer feature deserves to be a killer feature.

The soldiers who were still careless just now looked at Du Xiaoxi with their eyes, and Du Xiaoxi pursed his lips and smiled.

All the soldiers shouted in unison: 'You are worthy of the apprentice of the Master of Joy, look at this bearing!' This is full of Buddha light! The courage to find my brother for hundreds of miles! It's really not something that ordinary people can have! ’

The soldiers are not afraid that Du Zhilian will lie, although they don't know how many apprentices Master Xile has, but Master Xile's name is very big, Du Zhilian and his family can't run away in Shanshui County, they really dare to make trouble in the name of Master Xile, and some people clean them up.
