Beichai Village, which literally means to the north of Shibayama, is actually located just south of Shibayama.

Listen to the old people in the village, their village can be traced back to the early years of the Tang Dynasty, said that at that time, there happened to be a general of the Northern Expedition passing by in Chaishan, the camp was stationed at the foot of the mountain, one day after a full meal, people were bored and wanted to climb high and look far away, and happened to meet a group of geese flying south, so they said in poetry:

The wild goose flies south at dusk,

I returned north from dawn.

The mountains are full of dead leaves,

If you don't set foot in the barbarian camp, you will never return!

I don't know if the general has come back, anyway, this army will inevitably buy some miscellaneous things in the village, which really makes this small mountain village lively, in order to commemorate the general, the village is named "Beichai Village".

Looking at the old man with a flowery face in front of him, while pouting his snot and not forgetting to give a thumbs up, he praised the general's enthusiasm and the great spirit of defending the country to the death, the dog couldn't help but comment: "None of these words have anything to do with the general, not to mention the person who took the name at that time, and deliberately made up such a story to prevaricate future generations after seeing the wrong direction!" ”

I couldn't argue at the moment, so I had to echo with my mouth: "Old Du, when the kid heard this deed, he couldn't wait to join the field immediately and learn from the general to protect his family and defend the country, but unfortunately his bones are still fragile and he has to wait for a few more years, hey." ”

Du Lao nodded with a smile when he heard this: "Good son, don't worry, take care of your body first, and you will have a time to serve the country." ”

The dog said yes again and again, taking advantage of his happiness and hurriedly said: "Although the kid can't devote himself to the field, but what he is doing now can be regarded as doing a little bit of strength for the country and the people, this work of purchasing firewood is the military affairs of the Shimen Military Village undertaken by the Yamen, the boy came to this village to find you old, just want to ask you to help ask who still has some firewood, the kid will not let everyone suffer, he will pay to buy!" What do you think of the price of a load of Bawen? ”

"A load of eight things?" The little old man's eyes were almost round, and he looked at the dog with disbelief.

The dog was glared at by him and hurriedly explained: "After all, this errand is military affairs, and besides, I will send a car to pull it, and I don't need you to carry it to the city, so the price is some, some..."

Before he finished speaking, the little old man turned his head and ran home, and when he came out again, he carried a gong, stood on a big stone and knocked it up, and it snowed for a few days in the winter, so the people in this village had nothing to do, and there were people in every household, and after listening to the gong, the whole village was surrounded by people, and they were watching the excitement in a chaotic manner.

Seeing that everyone was almost here, the old man coughed and said loudly: "There is a little yacha in the village today, and he has brought a good errand to take care of our Beichai Village, you all prick up your ears and listen carefully, who still has firewood for a while and put it here, if the little yacha is over, it will be registered, rest assured!" A load of firewood and seven pennies will reward you! ”

The dog had already seen the drifting penny, and he didn't say anything at the moment, just nodded with a serious face, and nodded from time to time, indicating that he recognized what Du Cunzheng said.

The surrounding villagers listened, a load of firewood seven pennies, the firewood after the mountain more up, who does not have three or five loads, as long as the back has money to take, this is no different from picking up money on the ground, and some people hurriedly ran to the house.

Even if he was a little cautious, after asking the dog repeatedly, he hurriedly ran home to carry firewood.

In the afternoon, such a village collected ten carts, and three hundred and twenty yuan was put into a money bag and handed to the village in front of the villagers, as for how they divided the dogs, it didn't matter.

At that moment, I said hello to Du Lao, and told him to help take care of it tonight, and the yamen would send a car to pull it away early tomorrow morning.

When I went out, I hurriedly found a vacant land and didn't care about being dirty, so I sat on it with my buttocks, grinning and rubbing my calves and stomach today, and I didn't exhaust myself to death.

Turning his head to the dog left, who was also rubbing his legs, he said, "Dog leftover, how many villages are we running?" ”

Gou Yu replied: "Brother Da Lang, this is the fifth village we have run!" ”

"Well, I don't know if Dasha and Xiaokang pulled away the firewood from the first two villages, and I can't go over to see it anymore!"

Hu Dakang, who was on the side, patted his chest and said, "Brother Dog, don't worry about my brother's affairs!" ”

The dog sighed and said that it was better than Dasha, and looked up at Dakang and said, "Do you remember the road to here and the catties stored in the village?" ”

Hu Dakang nodded and said: I remember! ”

Gou'er: "Well, tomorrow morning, you and your brother will lead the car to this village to load up the chai and take it away, and you can rest assured that you will be able to bring it home early." ”

Hu Dakang nodded.

Early this morning, the city gate was just opened, and the dog took the four people to the nearest Qi village to look for firewood on the street, and it took a long time to buy more than ten loads, the price of firewood was still high, it was really not cost-effective, and the dog gritted his teeth and went directly to the remote and mountainous village.

The outrageous price of firewood in the city has not affected this remote mountain village, each load of firewood is still a normal five or six Wen, the dog is kind to buy at the price of two more than two Wen per load of firewood, the first village received six large carts, Gou'er sent Dasha to stay and guard, and asked Hu Xiaokang to run back and let him find Liu Sanlang to send a few carriages to pull away.

When I was waiting for the car, I went to the next village for a turn, and the four big cars were done.

I came back and waited for a long time, but I was really tired of waiting, so I left Dasha to guard by myself, and the three of them ran in the direction of Shibayama.

Along the way, I met two villages, this time the dog learned to be smart, entered the village to find the village first, the price and he said, he only managed to collect firewood, the two villages received a full twenty-six cars, knowing that today can not be pulled away, so please ask the village to help watch, about the next day to pull away.

The dog is so crazy about collecting firewood, it has long exceeded the amount that Liu Sanlang wanted, so why do you still collect firewood everywhere?

As mentioned in the previous chapter, most people did not prepare firewood in this snowy emergency, and in three days, the firewood of the people in the city was almost burned, and it was just the yamen who pulled away a large number of them, which is the so-called adding fuel to the fire. It can be imagined that at this time, there are still a lot of firewood in the city, only the dog has it in his hand, although Yuchuan City is not big, but the medicinal herb shop, the cooking cake stall, the restaurant and the wine shop, who does not use firewood to cook soup and rice? Just use charcoal to burn Dongchengfang, and the old men will feel distressed!

A load of eight Wen, and there is a free car, you can earn twice as much by pulling it back to the city and turning it over casually, even if it drops again, and only earns five Wen, it is not old or young.

If this path can be passed, this business of selling firewood can continue for a long time.

Seeing that the time to close the city gate was coming, the servants hurriedly ran back, and were locked outside the city gate in a hurry, so they had to shout through the crack in the door.

"Master Liu, Master Liu, are you always here?" It took three shouts in a row before a muffled voice came from inside the city gate.

"That kid is yelling outside!"

The dog hurriedly replied: "Master Liu, Master Liu, I am a dog!" ”

I only heard the phrase "Dogs?" coming from the city gate. Whose dog, I'll take a look later" and then it was silent.

After waiting for a pillar of incense, no one came, and when the dog was impatient and wanted to call someone, four or five torches were lit up on the tower of the city gate, and I only heard the original man shouting, "Who is shouting at the door?" Come out and let me see! ”

The three of them hurriedly came out of the darkness and stood side by side in the open space so that people could see clearly.

"Hey, it's you kid!" The man upstairs: "Why did you kid go, why did you go back to the city at this time!" ”

The dog sneered and said: "Brother Wang said that it is a long story, the kid went out of the city to find firewood, and on the way back, something was delayed or the time was missed...

By the way, why didn't you see Liu Ye? ”

The people in the city laughed and scolded: "Liu Ye left early on duty, tonight I will be on duty, you go back and hide and throw a basket down, you sit in, I will drag you up." ”

After saying that, he threw a big basket down, let the dog sit in first, and shouted, and the people in the city began to pull up, nagging while dragging it back.

"Your kid has been the boss recently, I heard Liu Ye say that you took over the errand of the yamen, I counted the number of firewood that came into this city gate this afternoon, and the kid is good enough!"

The dog tightly tugged on the rope of the basket, afraid that the tattered basket would suddenly break a hole and leak itself, and he couldn't take care of the other party, so he finally jumped out of the city tower and wiped his sweat and said: "Brother Wang, don't laugh and don't smile, the kid is sitting on this thing for the first time, and he is a little afraid!" ”

That Brother Wang smiled and said: "What are you afraid of, it's okay to fall down just one foot high!" ”

The dog turned around to look at the city, the black hole couldn't see clearly, in case the head fell down, the neck could not bear it, and the ear listened to the 'click' sound, so frightened that the dog quickly covered his head and turned his head to see, it turned out that Hu Dakang came out of the basket and tripped and fell to the ground.

followed Brother Wang back to the ground from the corridor of the city wall, and this heart was steady.

The city gate is often walked, but the top is the first time to come, the four walls of this Yuchuan County are built by using adobe ramming and then laying blue bricks outside, the width is more than five steps, and the city gate is also built with a long strip of bluestone under the city gate to build more than one person high, especially solid.

On the empty land, a thick city wall was erected, outside the city was the empty mountains where the cold wind was howling, and inside the city were thousands of lights in the big houses and small houses.

Some people say that it is the city wall that has lost people's courage, but I don't recognize it, the only thing that can influence people's behavior is their "original heart"!

What is the original mind? I think it is a person's spiritual determination and lofty ideal. If a person has his spiritual sustenance, even in the face of the most powerful enemy, he will dare to show his sword.

Some people also say that no matter how strong the city wall is, it will be broken one day, and it is actually the hearts of the people that are broken. If you look back at the history of the Chinese nation's struggle, you will find that there were wars in which a strong giant city with a population of one million and tens of feet in height announced its surrender in three days, and there was also a war in which a small city with a population of several thousand held on to the town for more than ten years.

In the face of tragic heroes who will never surrender to the last man, do you dare to say that such a "wall" has been broken?

When the enemy rode their horses and shouted with long knives in front of them, suddenly a wall stopped their steps, and I thought that even the most timid people would take a breath, and even pick up a stone and secretly throw it at the enemy.

Therefore, the city wall brings courage to people, it is shelter, and it is a sharp weapon to kill the enemy, not cowardice.

You are greedy for life and afraid of death, it is your heart that is doing the blame, and you can't pass the buck to the city wall, anyway, our city wall is not responsible!
