If he remembered correctly, at the junction of Cuiyan Mountain and Baihu Mountain, a buffer zone where the two mountains meet, there are hilly landforms all around, and there is a small basin in the middle, which is very suitable for building a house and living.

Brushing the gray beard on his chin, and tapping the crutches in his hand to the ground, the village chief nodded in response, "Just do as you say, if the number of wooden houses is not enough, find some dry caves to make do, and when the weather improves, we will think of building some houses in the mountains." ”

After a lifetime of stability in Luhe Village, the village chief did not expect that when he was old, he had to hide in the mountains to survive.

Others don't know, as the village head, can he not know that the two grandsons in the family are studying in a private school in the town, and they have long revealed the situation in the county to him.

The god of war Nangong raised the banner of rebellion, Qingchengzhou assassin Shi Huangwu was killed, the third prince Luping Academy died violently, and the piles had already been transmitted back to the village, but he didn't expect that the Xifeng army would be defeated so quickly, and the Red Forbidden Army would attack so quickly.

With a decision in his heart, the village chief immediately shouted to everyone, ordered to speed up the progress, and when he reached the mountain, he made a fire to cook porridge, so that everyone could eat a hot meal to warm up, and the taxes were increased over the years, and there was not much grain in the village, but fortunately, it was spring, and the diligent ones could always dig up the wild vegetables that filled their hunger.

A few hours passed, the rain slowly disappeared, turning into a sky of snow falling, in the depths of Baihu Mountain, the two little guys who were playing crazy with their sister jumped in surprise, "Sister, it's snowing, I see snowflakes." ”

The laughter of her younger siblings did not interrupt Yingle's thoughts, she was picking up the black lumpy hard object exposed under the mountain rock with her hands to study, this black stone, it looks very similar to the coal seen in modern times, but it is much harder than coal, the water chestnut is distinct, and the hardness is very high, it should be coal gangue.

Looking up at the mountain towering in front of him, the whole body is dark and steep, and it is even more different against the background of the snow, Yingle can't suppress the excitement in his heart, is this a natural coal mountain, what a baby!

In order to confirm his inner thoughts, Yingle took a strong pill, picked up his younger brother, half-leaned over and let his sister climb on his back, and quickly returned to Crescent Moon Peak with his light footwork.

Seeing my sister so flustered, the two little guys didn't dare to continue messing around, and they were busy waiting to let Yingle take them away, didn't they say that they would play in the mountains for a while, why did my sister go back in such a hurry, although she was puzzled, but the obedient child had candy to eat.

When he returned to the cave, he put the two little ones down, called Yun Chuche, who was chopping wood in the cave, carried a bamboo basket on his back, and carried a handful of beauties brought by the family, and the two returned to the vicinity of the previous mountain.

was pulled out by the little junior sister in a hurry, Yun Chuche thought that something terrible had happened, "What's the matter, junior sister, why did you come here with your head on your back?" "Didn't you say that the weather was bad today, and the fortifications in the canyon would wait for the weather to improve before starting construction?

Glancing at the mountain that was even darker after being covered with snowflakes, Yingle smiled and said, "Senior brother, I see this black and swarthy mountain, this is a coal mountain, let's take some coal back to burn the fire, no matter how cold the weather is, we won't be afraid." ”

If her conjecture came true, there would be no need to pick up firewood and chop firewood for cooking in the future, and the best thing was that she vaguely remembered that it was possible to burn cement from gangue and clay in different proportions, but she couldn't remember the specific recipe. Putting this matter aside for the time being, the most important thing at the moment is to determine whether this black stone mountain is hiding coal inside the mountain.

Coal such a precious thing Yun Chuche with the master into Beijing to see the nobles, also heard of it, this time listened to Yingle's words carefully looked, found that this black mountain is really like that, at the moment pick up the head of the excavation, not much will come out of a small pile of black coal, mixed with a lot of slightly lighter color coal gangue.

Picking up all the black charcoal blocks back into the bamboo basket without being dirty, the two brothers and sisters were about to rush back, just at this time, a familiar tiger roar came, Yingle turned around in surprise, and saw the yellow tiger coming through the forest and stepping on the snow.

"Roar!" When Huang Hu saw his master, he excitedly quickened his pace, and after running to the girl's side, the huge tiger head rubbed against Yingle for comfort, and the aggrieved expression seemed to say, master, except for you, people will never let anyone else sit on their backs in the future.

Rubbing the tiger's hairy tiger head, Yingle took out three ginseng pills made of century-old ginseng and fed them to Rhubarb.

Seeing a cloth bag tied to Huang Hu's back, the girl took it off and opened it in confusion, took out a letter from it, and read it quickly at a glance and ten lines, Yingle began to worry about the little uncle in her heart.

Looking up and seeing that the snowflakes falling in the sky were getting bigger and bigger, Yingle decided to go down the mountain immediately, without being sure of the safety of the little uncle with her own eyes, she couldn't really rest assured, "Senior brother, I have to go out, when Le'er is away, please take care of your mother and younger siblings." ”

The little junior sister's anxious appearance made Yun Chuche also worried, seeing that the snow was getting heavier and heavier, once the snow closed the mountain, it would be even more inconvenient to travel back and forth, why was Le'er in a hurry to go out at this time, "What are you doing down the mountain, is there something going on outside?" ”

The two brothers and sisters said while walking, and soon returned to the cave of the Crescent Peak Canyon, Yingle also explained the content of the family letter clearly, the Red Turban Army invaded Liyang County, and the little uncle took his grandparents and others to hide in Cuiyan Mountain, but it happened to be snowing heavily, and she had to go out to help.

After learning the ins and outs of the matter, the Shen family immediately agreed to their daughter to go down the mountain, the cave where their family lived is located in the depths of Baihu Mountain, far away from Cuiyan Mountain.

Besides, there are many beasts and poisonous insects in the deep mountains, which are very dangerous, and it is unrealistic for all relatives to live here. The relationship between her and Mrs. Zhao's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has always been not harmonious, and in her selfish heart, Shen Linzhi does not want to be under the same roof with her mother-in-law.

But looking at the heavy snow outside the cave, Shen Linzhi felt quite uncomfortable in her heart, she was not the evil daughter-in-law who was ruthless and didn't care about the life and death of her relatives, she took the children to hide in the cave and enjoy it, but let her mother-in-law and uncle starve and freeze.

For the sake of today, it used to be the safest way to let her daughter go down the mountain to send some things, and in the future, the two families will be begging for a living in the mountains, and it is indispensable to take care of each other.

As long as everyone is safe and can live a stable life in this troubled world, she will thank the Bodhisattva for his blessing, and when her husband returns, her mother-in-law has no reason to complain and blame her.

Sent the little junior sister with the bamboo basket on her back to the foot of the Crescent Peak, dug an extra basket of coal for Yingle to give to the little uncle, and saw the girl being carried by the yellow tiger and disappearing between the snowy mountain roads, Yun Chuche set off back to the canyon cave.
