The road back to the village is the official road, and there are several villages scattered on both sides of the official road, so the road is very lively, and the villagers from various villages are coming back from the market. They carried the New Year's goods they bought on their backs or on their backs, happily talking about their parents' shortcomings, and everyone's faces were filled with the joy of the upcoming New Year.

Li Ziyu sat on the ox cart, but her heart was heavy.

She squinted her eyes and felt the cold wind of the wax moon, watching the winter scenery on both sides of the road go backwards, but her mind recalled what Ren Xiaohang said.

The Liao State is stationing troops on the border, and the army of the Daye Dynasty must also be ready for battle, and war is about to break out. And the border city of Baishan City is only more than a hundred miles away from Shiyan Town, in case Baishan City is broken, Shiyan Town will bear the brunt of it will be the first cannon fodder. I heard that there are only 2,000 troops in the town, how can they resist the iron hooves of tens of thousands of Liao. At that time, the entire Shiyan Town will fall into the hands of the Liao State Thinking of this, Li Ziyu shuddered.

She couldn't help but think of the modern Japanese invasion, how many no-man's lands did Japan create in China? How many Chinese have been killed? How many tragedies have been committed? Is it now that she and her siblings are also at the point of being slaughtered? No! Never! But why did she stop all this? Not to mention that she is only eleven years old, that is, the age of modern times, what can she do alone?

Thinking of his own home, Li Ziyu's ** to build a house is even more urgent.

If the Liao State fights, the wall of his own home will definitely not be able to stop the soldiers and horses of the Liao State. Then there can be a glimmer of hope only by rebuilding the wall into a strong courtyard that can withstand the army. In the past, she had planned to increase the height of the courtyard wall to one zhang, but now it seems that one zhang will definitely not work. At the very least, it has to be two feet high. And it has to be thick enough, and it has to be built according to the ancient city walls.

Thanks to the hot pot city making some money, it is estimated that it will be able to build a wall. The house can now only be built in an ordinary way. And you have to cover as much as you can in case you need it.

It looks like we have to step up the preparation of materials, stones, clay, bricks, and tiles. Today is the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, and it was not possible a year ago. After the New Year, we must hurry up the preparation of materials and strive to build the fence and the house within one month. Who knows when the fight will start? It's also good to be a day early.

Li Ziyu was thinking about everything on the ox cart, but her mind remained unusually clear. She scanned the people in front of and behind the ox cart without a trace, but she didn't find any trace of Step 9 or Step 10. It's very strange in my heart. Didn't they come with her?

When he arrived at the house at the bottom of the hillside, he still didn't find their shadows, and Li Ziyu not only muttered in his heart. What's going on? They're not coming, are they?

Li Ziyu looked at the bedding bought for them on the ox cart. I smiled bitterly in my heart, okay, keep it for my brothers in the future.

Li Ziyu greeted at the bottom of the hillside: "Xiaoshan! I'm back! Move something! ”

As soon as the words fell, the courtyard door opened. Out of it came Xiaoshan, Xiaowen, Li Luo and Xiaoou. They hurried down the hill. Go straight to the ox cart.

"Sister, why did you still buy a futon?"

Because the newly purchased futon was very conspicuous on the top of the ox cart, Koyama saw it at a glance.

"I'll talk about it later." Li Ziyu asked Li Luo and Xiao Ou to go up with the futon first, she carried a hundred catties of rice and a hundred catties of white flour in her hands, and said to the young coachman: "Master, you wait a minute, I will send the things home and come down to give you money." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm not in a hurry. You get busy first. Although the driver was anxious, he also wanted to make a good impression. Good next time in hiring his car. So the face is very generous.

Li Ziyu didn't say anything when she saw this, and went up with her pocket. The coachman behind him was stunned and looked at her figure walking up, and almost screamed. Oh my God, how can there be such a powerful girl? Isn't this a joke if it's carried by a person?

Xiaoshan and Xiaowen glanced at the coachman with disdain, and went up with various cans. A few people moved up and down twice.

Li Ziyu gave the coachman fifty yuan for the car, but the driver didn't expect the little girl to be so generous, and drove away happily.

Li Ziyu returned to the courtyard and just wanted to close the courtyard door, but unexpectedly, two figures fell silently from the big locust tree outside the courtyard and fell into the small courtyard.

"I've seen Miss Li!" The two knelt on one knee at the same time, wanting Li Ziyu to salute.

These two people are none other than the nine and ten steps left to her by Ren Xiaohang. It's just that at this time, they are no longer dressed in black, but ordinary croppers.

Li Ziyu looked at them in surprise: "How did you get in?" Where was it just now? How did you get here? Why didn't I see you on the road? ”

Step 9 and Step 10 glanced at each other, and Step 9 replied, "Miss Li, we are always behind you, but you didn't find out." ”

"How is that possible? I've been looking for you all the way, why haven't you found it? Li Ziyu thinks this is too unbelievable, right? Could it be that they can do invisibility?

"Hehe" Bu Jiu smiled embarrassedly, "We changed our appearance on the road, and when we were about to arrive in the village, we arrived home one step ahead of schedule and restored our original appearance." ”

Li Ziyu said in surprise: "Will you still be disguised?" ”

Bu Jiu nodded and didn't say anything more. And Bu Shi on the side was always expressionless and didn't say a word.

Li Ziyu carefully looked at step nine and step ten. Both of them are very tall, about 1.9 meters. Bu Jiu has a baby face, a small nose and small eyes, which is very pleasing, and he doesn't look like a secret guard at all. Bu Shi is very handsome and very manly with thick eyebrows and big eyes. It's just that he exudes an aura that no one is close to, giving people a cold feeling.

At this time, Xiaoshan and Xiaowen walked out of the house and looked strangely at the two people who suddenly appeared in the courtyard. Xiaowen stood beside his sister, protected his sister behind him, and looked at step nine and step ten vigilantly. Xiaoshan stood on the other side of his sister, also glaring at them with hostility.

Li Ziyu patted the shoulders of the two younger brothers and said to them, "Xiaoshan! Xiaowen! , this sister invited to teach martial arts masters, they can know swordsmanship! You should study hard in the future, don't be afraid of hard work! ”

"What? Sister, what you said is true? Xiaoshan and Xiaowen's faces immediately showed surprise, and their eyes burst out with a feverish light.

"I want to learn swords too!" "I also want to learn swords" At this time, Xiao Wu, Xiao Hu and Xiao Lan, who were secretly hiding behind the door of the hall and eavesdropping, all ran out and surrounded Li Ziyu, asking one after another.

Li Ziyu hugged them one by one, and smiled: "I don't count this if I say it, I have to listen to the master." It depends on whether you can accept the suffering, and it depends on whether you have the qualifications. ”

As soon as Li Ziyu said this, Xiaoshan and the others focused their eyes on Bu Jiu and Bu Shi, and the expectation in their eyes was so obvious.
