On that day, Xiao Ruiniang followed him until it was getting late, followed him to see all over the Neiku Workshop, and watched the Ezo man touch the iron sword with his own hands, touch the paper armor, the armor, and shoot the strong bow and crossbow machine.

He also stared at the bamboo fire crow gun smuggled by the Great Song Dynasty for a long time before he walked across the entire Tang Fang to the port alone.

Stonenu was an Ezo slave who was occasionally bought during the off-season in the port half a year ago, and after he bought it, he was kept in the construction site of the Honglu New Pavilion, specially guarding the wood of the Song Palace.

Therefore, when Stoneu first watched the Song people's nine-masted giant ships sail into the port one after another along the monsoon, he was so frightened that he stood at the mouth of the river for at least half an hour when he saw the boats on the river like shuttles, the traffic was busy, and the hydraulic hoisters were screaming and roaring to lift huge containers.

Because he was in the way of standing on the dock, he was finally pushed away, and he finally came back to his senses, and then he squeezed into the dock again, and had to learn from the fangding to help unload the goods.

There was her order in advance, and no one stopped him, so Xiao Ruiniang secretly saw that this Ezo man, who claimed to have been the most brave warrior of their small tribe, had touched the gorgeous Sichuan brocade and Hangzhou satin with his own hands, smelled countless myrrh spices from Nanyang, licked the incredibly sweet lychee candied fruit from Quanzhou, and personally carried one box after another of the grain, lacquerware and cottage Tang goods of Bazhen Zhai that were picked up on the Song boat......

Xiao Ruiniang said that she originally felt that his face was shining, and he was very happy to see something he had never seen before, but he didn't know what happened, when he was finally willing to leave from the port, he didn't go back to the Ji family's courtyard.

She relied on her familiarity with Tang Fang, and she was a child. followed all the way, and actually saw that he had obviously walked outside the courtyard, but turned around and slowly walked into the pine forest on the side of the road.

She watched him with her own eyes, walked to the deepest part where no one had passed, and suddenly held her head alone and cried for a long time, a long time......

He cried so ugly. But he kept holding his head and hiding under the tree and crying. It was as if he didn't want to cry out loud for people to hear, for his head was getting deeper and deeper, and it was about to be stuffed into the pit of dirt that he had grabbed with his own hands......

So Ji Ruiniang. I've always felt sorry for him.

You shouldn't peek at him and cry in shame.

"Big lady, why is he crying......"

When she heard Xiao Ruiniang ask like this, she was also a little surprised, and she was stunned for a long time.

That night. Stonenu went to her yard, and there was no sign of crying at all. He not only resolutely agreed to write a letter to Hokkaido for her, persuaded the leaders of various tribes to row out the secret harbor to build a ship for Tang Fang, and even offered to open up more fields and build more granges for Tang Fang in the Yazhu Mountain.

As long as she can buy more Ezo prisoners of war. He was willing to convince them to protect her Grange with his life and blood......

And what he needed in return was that they Ezo people would also have the right to open fields on the ten hills she had rented. and the skills that the Ezo people need to learn if they want to start a settled farming life.

She heard that he did not immediately ask for better swords and iron tools than those of the Fuso. Not to mention the crossbow machine he had tried in the workshop, even if a woman could shoot an arrow hundreds of paces away, she knew that he was a very intelligent Ezo man.

Perhaps at the age of twenty, he was indeed the fiercest warrior of his small clan.

He even promised that as long as she was willing to believe him, he could leave the female companion who had been bought into Tangfang together, as well as the children born to him by the female companion, in Tangfang, and set off back to Hokkaido at once to persuade a small tribe with an idle ice-free port to lease the port to Tangfang.

- The Ezo people are so poor that they have lost the land that their tribes have passed down from generation to generation, and she has too many bargaining chips for him to refuse.

He finally understood that even if the Ezo people were willing to farm for her and protect the Grange for her, she needed more than just food.

And she already knew many years ago that she couldn't rely on others, Wang Shiqiang, and the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty who didn't know when she would come......

She wants to rely on her own hands to build the sea ship of Tangfang.

Presumably, on that day, Ezo Stoneu also understood that what he had to face was not only the step-by-step pressure of the Fuso people, not her harsh quid pro quo, what he really had to face was a completely unfamiliar real world that he didn't know in the first half of his life......

She could understand his crying......

His cry in the pine forest was like when she left the barren mountains of her hometown, sat on the back seat of a motorcycle, and followed her fellow villagers all the way to a completely strange big city.

At that time, she was far from the maturity and wisdom that Snotong had honed over the years, and she had just graduated from junior high school and was full of the excitement of leaving home, she had screamed at the tall buildings she had never seen before, and she had stupidly walked along the road for ten stops because she didn't know that the bus was going to automatically flip coins......

For her, however, these are happy memories......

It's like an old student in the wild land of Qitongnu, who saw another world in the East China Sea, excited and happy.

Even standing in front of the workshop machine where the loud noise would damage her eardrums, her simple heart was full of novelty and excitement, and occasionally, because of the dullness and loneliness in the factory dormitory, she would leave the harbor factory and explore the mountains and forests of her hometown as if she were carefree in the mountains and forests of her hometown, walking in the alleys of the back of the city, looking for a scrap yard near the old factory with tattered walls.

She had just heard that there were the cheapest books out there, and she wanted to buy a few old high school textbooks that students in the city didn't need at a price she could afford.

Although she felt that she shouldn't tell her mother on the phone, in her heart, she actually wanted to go to high school in the county like her brother......

Because of her shyness and ignorance, even if she occasionally looked up in the middle of the city and looked up at the bustling lights on all sides, she was never as smart as Stonenu, and was touched the moment she saw a strange world.

She still didn't understand what the world meant to her.

It wasn't until more than a year after she came out to work that she finally got a full 800 yuan salary like the adult female workers in the factory by working overtime all day. She suddenly began to realize something.

The blur made her heart tighten.

On that day, she just counted the money out of the dormitory and walked on the way to the post office outside the factory as at the beginning of each month.

The loess was flying on the new factory area, which was one square and four wide, and she saw the brand-new cars speeding by on the road.

She no longer felt that the sedan was new, and of course she couldn't see the figure in the back seat, but through the transparent glass at the rear of the car. But she could see a beautiful embroidered tissue box on the back of the chair. There are also two or three foreign Ragdoll dog dolls that you can only see on TV.

Suddenly, she was inexplicably in a daze.

After more than a year of living in the city, she already knew that those puppets were not toys tied by her mother's hands at home. She grabbed the eight hundred yuan salary in her hand in a daze, and vaguely realized that something was wrong:

People casually put a dog doll on the back seat, she actually likes it too, and she will deliberately help clean the dishes in the cafeteria every day. Just to watch the cartoon starring the dog dolls on the cafeteria TV, but she never thought to buy one.

She obviously likes it......

She thought something was strange. It was a little unspeakably uncomfortable, but she immediately felt that she shouldn't think about these irrelevant things, even if it was eight hundred yuan a doll, she couldn't afford it. She just couldn't bear it.

She is almost sixteen years old, and she is already the most profitable pillar of the family, although she is a younger sister. But it's her brother's strongest backing, and she's not interested in those dolls that children only play with at all.

So. At the age of sixteen, she continued to walk with her head held high, her eyes turned to the sky and not at the car on the road, and when she was about to reach the post office, she quietly breathed a sigh of relief and inadvertently looked at the supermarket outside the post office.

There is no market in the city, and the most affordable good and good supermarket outside the factory is just a private shop opened by ordinary people, and the goods in it are also exclusively sold to women workers from other places.

Through the wide glass windows of the supermarket, she could see the red plastic-shelled thermoses, the blue-printed plastic washbasins, the brand-new aluminium buckets, and rows of colorful new toothbrushes.

She was happy that she could afford all of them, and with her salary, she could buy whatever she wanted.

Although she still uses a wooden basin brought out of her home to wash her face, feet, clothes, and shoes, she also learned to wash her farts every day with her fellow sister in the same factory.

But she only had this one pot.

She has not changed the basin with her fellow sisters, because her wooden basin is a basin made by her father with a stump behind the house, she began to use it when she was very young, even if her brother was studying in the county, he used the beautiful plastic basins that his mother bought in the market, there were basins, foot basins, and new tooth cups and new tooth refresh towels, she was not envious.

There is nothing to envy.

She can afford it all now.

Thinking like this, she walked into the post office and skillfully took a remittance slip to fill in first, but when she saw the 750 yuan in the form and saw that she was still holding the fifty yuan canteen meal ticket she had just bought before leaving the factory, she didn't know what was going on, she obviously didn't care, but suddenly shed a tear.

She just suddenly remembered that even when her mother called her to tell her about the account, she never said that she would buy a new plastic basin like her brother.

She may have just been stunned for a moment, but she saw a teardrop fall from nowhere, seeping through the gray and white remittance slip, dripping into the red grid, blurring the dark blue money count of the ballpoint pen.

Everything became glaring and glaring in front of her eyes, startling her.

She immediately wiped her eyes indiscriminately, took a new remittance form, and filled it out again.

After returning to the dormitory that day, she had unconsciously forgotten about it, and she was reluctant to buy a new plastic basin for next month's salary, and the wooden basin followed her until she left the shoe factory, and was introduced by her fellow villagers to be a little sister in a small restaurant in the university town, and when she wanted to apply for a health certificate, she changed to a new plastic basin.

She has a large red plastic basin for washing clothes and feet, a medium blue basin for washing her face, and a beautiful small green flower plastic basin that is only used to wash her ass every day......

Perhaps it was only then that she understood that the tears she shed that day were not resentment, not sadness, and even more not anger, many years later, when she built Tang Fang with her own hands and 30,000 people on the strange coast of this life, she already understood:

The tears at that moment were just the first time she opened her eyes and saw the pain of the real world when she was young and ignorant......

After wiping away his tears, he still had no choice but to move forward step by step......

- Of course Stonenu would have understood this. (To be continued) R655
