Coming out of Brother Zhao's house, Brother Zhao's face was first flushed along the way, then from red to black, so black that it could drip water, and finally drooped his head, with a little bit of vigor and vitality that a young man should have.

It is said that home is the destination, but this home is a home that cannot be returned.

Liang Chuan saw the scene just now, because Liang Chuan, who was also from a rural family, also saw and heard a lot of Mao Dun between the lowest families in the countryside, and felt it in his heart, he didn't say anything about recruiting brothers, but persuaded him: "Brother Zhao, I didn't expect this situation in your family to be so serious, as the so-called family has a scripture that is difficult to read, a good baby will be blessed for a lifetime, and a bad baby can only be regarded as bad luck, and in the next life, life is in the world, and a lot of good times are waiting for us to enjoy, People like your sister-in-law, don't pay attention to her. ”

Family is the root of many people's low self-esteem, and Brother Zhao is also afraid that Liang Chuan will look down on him. Liang Chuan not only did not laugh at him, but also comforted him, Brother Zhao shook his head and looked at Liang Chuan, and said with a wry smile: "Our family has been a farmer for several lifetimes, not stealing or robbing, we don't want to do it like this, we all blame my mother for dying early, my mother is not in good health, and she can't do heavy work, my father has been sighing and saying that he may not be able to help me marry a daughter-in-law, I often tell him that if I can't marry, I can't marry, in case I marry a sister-in-law like this, this family will have to be demolished... ”

Liang Chuan patted him on the shoulder: "Husband, we are man-made, what we want is to live a good life, you will start a family one day, find a gentle daughter-in-law and a beautiful one, the third brother will not let you marry a mother like your sister-in-law!" ”

Brother Zhao raised his head and smiled gratefully at Liang Chuan.

Liang Chuan smiled and said, "Your sister-in-law's style is the best, was it introduced by someone or brought home by your eldest brother?" ”

"It seems that a matchmaker named Fengying in the village rubbed the peace, alas, who rubbed the peace."

Liang Chuan thought in his heart, I guess I can't blame your sister-in-law for this, looking at your eldest brother's appearance, his bones are a little soft, and he has no responsibility at all, living a life is a matter of two people, do you say that he will have no responsibility at all if a family is rotten like this?

Liang Chuan asked: "But this land seems to be used as a blessed land for your father after a hundred years, why do I feel a little uncomfortable when we grab it and build a house?" ”

"No, it's not good to plant something, where is my sister-in-law willing to use such a large piece of good land as a cemetery, they are eighty percent of them singing and wanting to raise the price, before my sister-in-law wanted to wait for my father to die and sell all these houses and land, hiding far away."

Hide far away.。。 Brother Zhao was full of helplessness when he said this.

He's not too old at this age, but his heart is like a child, that is, no one takes him and no one teaches him, and his only relative can't wait to throw off his burden. Does it taste good?

Liang Chuan frowned and said, "Let's go to the village Baozheng and ask who the other places are." ”

Brother Zhao led Liang Chuan to the village Baozheng's house. Village Baozheng, that is, equivalent to the village secretary of later generations, village directors and other rural grassroots cadres, the ancient emperor was far away, and the emperor's deterrent power was difficult to affect these peasant families facing the loess at the bottom of this feudal building.

At that time, after all the bones on Liang Chuan's body were broken, He Lu's Baozheng was also surnamed He, and it is estimated that their surname was born and raised, and it happened that Uncle Zheng's house was not far from He Baozheng's house.

He Baozheng's family has a big business, but it is all handed down from his ancestors, in the end, he is also a farmer, and he also makes a living in the field, and he and his wife are managing several acres of land at home, and there is a child at home, saying that he wants to go outside to see it, and he has been out for a few years, and there is no news at all.

The two of them walked for a while and walked to the door of He Baozheng's house, He Baozheng's home looked very old, but the wall is high and the courtyard is deep, and the standard southern house, Yixi can still see the style of the past.

There is a tall camphor tree at the door of the house, and the old village is shady and lush. The two wooden doors at the door of the house were open transparently, and Zhao Di and Liang Chuan stood at the door, buckled the door knocker a few times, and shouted loudly into the house: "He Baozheng, He Baoxia?" ”

The two men looked into the door, and saw an old woman with gray hair sitting on a stool on the patio chopping mustard greens, the cores of which were cut out, and then put in a sauce jar to pickle into pickles.

When the old woman heard someone calling him outside the door, she put down the knife in her hand, turned around leisurely, looked out the door, and responded, "Who?" ”

Brother Zhao pulled Liang Chuan, Liang Chuan followed Brother Zhao into He Baozheng's house, and first politely saluted the old woman sitting on the stool, and then said: "Hello auntie, we have something to do with He Baozheng!" ”

"The old man has just gone to fetch the cow, why don't you sit for a while and wait for him to come back?"

"Is He Baozheng going to herd cattle, third brother, why don't we go to the mountains to find him, I know where he is!"

"Good!"

Brother Zhao usually wanders around, and he is very familiar with He Lu, and the places where the people in the village herd cattle are nothing more than those few, either the dry fields on the north bank, or the foot of the mountain, they dare not pull the cattle away, for fear of wild beasts and fear of being stolen.

Brother Zhao led Liang Chuan to the foot of the mountain, and saw that He Baozheng was really there!

The two took a closer look, this person actually hugged the old green cow and cried, this is not the first time to see Liangchuan, the cow's eyes are full of bloodshots, the cow's belly is bulging and swollen, mooing non-stop!

"Did you two bastards give my cow something to poison it? I'm going to report to the police! ”

Liang Chuan thought about it in his heart, and estimated that he had eaten the nail again!

He searched the ground, and sure enough, it was another nail! It's not an accident, it's not a prank, it seems that someone deliberately wanted to kill the cow! Uncle Zheng's cow is an example, and He Baozheng's cow is also being targeted!

"Baozheng is not in a hurry, we are also villagers of He Lu, I know how to save your cattle, don't be excited!"

He Baozheng is in tears, can he not be excited, this cow works in the field and usually pulls and transports it can help, the old guy and the two have been together for decades in the wind and rain, and there is no problem with grazing here, why is it suddenly abnormal today!

The simple peasant family treats the cattle more than relatives.

"You'd better bless my cow if it's okay, or I'll definitely send you to trial!"

Liang Chuan asked Brother Zhao to bring a magnet, painted a gourd and smeared it with oil and pulled it into the cow's belly, and sure enough, he pulled out a nail!

The foreign body in the old cow's abdomen was taken out and immediately returned to normal!

"Third brother, how do you know that this cow has nails in its belly."

"A few days ago, the third uncle's cow was harmed like this...

"Third Uncle Zheng's cow was saved by you?"

He Baozheng was concerned about the chaos, and when he came out of the house today, he found that something was wrong with the old guy, and his attention was all on his old man, and he waited for Liang Chuan to cure the cow before he looked at Liang Chuan twice.

Isn't this the Liang Laosan who almost fell to death in the mountain? A few days ago, Zheng Sanye's cow was fed nails and said that it was saved by Liang Laosan, but fortunately I met him today!

Liang Chuan said thoughtfully: "A cow being fed nails can be said to be someone who is greedy for fun, and it is not an ordinary thing for several cows to be done like this in a row, it is estimated that it is. . . Determined to kill the cow! ”

"I'll just go home and blink of an eye, this cow almost killed people? Who is so bold? ”

"I don't know, anyway, I'd better be careful lately, don't leave the cow out alone! He Baozheng, you should also pay attention, if there is a stranger in the village, it must have ulterior motives! ”

"These animals dare to attack the ploughing cattle, this is a great crime! Let's go and report to the official! “

"It's useless to report to the official now, let's find a way to find out this group of people and send them to the official for justice, so that we can do it once and for all!"

He Baozheng didn't look at the white hair, but in fact he was only in his forties, and it was just his son's affairs that made him feel white. He saw with his own eyes that Liang Chuan's bones were almost broken, and when he came back, there was no medicine or doctor to treat him, and now he was standing in front of him well!

He Baozheng stared at Liang Chuan for a long time, he is also a person who has lived long enough, he knows what that injury means in a place like He Lu, what kind of elixir did he take to bring the dead back to life?

He Baozheng sighed: "I said three, last time you were injured so miserable, how long has it been, you are alive and well in front of me, it seems that the feng shui of your land is good, or your Liangchuan ancestors blessed, old man, I have lived for so long, my eyes are a little flowery, people who are so badly injured, can still go to the ground, your home is not far from He Cheng's house, his son broke his leg bone, lay on the bed and got bedsores, died, tsk, I didn't see you with my own eyes I thought I was dazzled." ”

Liang Chuan smiled, you don't believe it, but he still said: "Bao Zheng is joking, this life and death have a fate, wealth is in the sky, and there is no death, I don't know if there is any happiness in the future." ”

Yo, this remark is also clear-eyed, righteous and awe-inspiring, He Baozheng has been in contact with Liang Chuan before, how does it feel like a different person?

He Baozheng said: "You are now speaking at a better level than before, you used to be like a stuffy gourd, and no one asked you to agree. What's the matter with the old man who came to me today? ”

Brother Zhao listened to Baozheng's words inexplicably, but Liang Chuan knew what he was talking about, laughed dryly, and stopped talking about anything else, and said: "He Baozheng, I came to ask you today who owns the land near my house, I want to buy land!" ”

What? Buying land? Bao Zheng stared at Liang Chuan for a long time, and after confirming that this doll was not joking with him, he said: "Liang Chuan, you are an outsider, your household registration is considered a customer, and you are in Luli, so the tax calculation in the village is not counted as your family's, you are going to buy land now, don't dare to mess around, we don't mention this if the household registration is going to be determined, but you will have to pay taxes and serve in the future, you have to think about these clearly, you can't turn back if you shoot the bow?" I don't think you are a piece of material for farming, why bother to buy any land, if you buy land, you will become the main household, that is to go to the household account, the official family is eyeing but there is no good fruit to eat, it is better to live like now, and you can't suffer any losses. Do you know why those lands are deserted, others would rather desert and flee the fields than guard these useless lands. ”

Liang Chuan knew in his heart that since the Song Dynasty, this dynasty was the most relaxed time for the household registration management of the common people, so the population mobility of the people would be so strong, and it also created a prosperous commodity economy in the Song Dynasty, unlike the Ming and Qing dynasties in later generations, people could not leave the place where they lived casually. However, the household registration management is lax, but there are still many obligations to bear, such as taxes and forced labor.

But the household registration is set, and the benefits are not impossible. The first one, the identity is there, and it is finally a legal people, not a black household without identity and no hukou, and many of the relevant policies of the second country are related to household registration, such as the imperial examination, without a household registration, even the door of the imperial examination is not qualified to touch, although Liang Chuan has not thought about the imperial examination, but in the future, it is inevitable to deal with these government bigwigs, and it is not comfortable to have an identity. Money will slowly earn more and more in the future, and paying taxes is inevitable, so it is better to live an upright life now.

Since Liang Chuan is thinking about building a house, he doesn't want to live casually, since he has played in this era, he has to abide by the rules of this era, he has become a climate, if you can, change the rules.

Liang Chuan did not hesitate at all, and said to Baozheng: "He Baozheng, you old man persuaded me with kind words and I accepted the kindness of your old man in my heart, but I have already made up my mind, you can help me do this favor, see who owns the land in front of me, can you help me sell it." ”

He Baozheng saw Liang Chuan so persistent, sighed, and said to Brother Zhao: "Look at it, I have persuaded the old man, it is difficult to persuade the damned ghost with good words, you have seen it, I regret it, don't say that the old man I didn't say today!" ”
