Chapter 351 If you want to get rich, you must first build roads

After all, Yugong moving mountains is just a story, few people will do this in reality, human nature is lazy, even if it is a Chinese son and daughter who is famous for "hard work", no one will use a family of several generations to dig through a mountain, they will generally choose to migrate or detour.

Before leaving, Hua 14 said that he could only cross eight mountains and two rivers, but the dog even crossed eighteen mountains, and the sun set on twenty rivers and did not see the shadow of Huazhai.

Later, Wang Hou explained that the mountain they said in Huazhai should be at least about 100 zhang! As for the river, well, only a small stream under ten paces can be counted.

The dog thought that it would be possible to arrive in a day at most, but it took two and a half days to arrive, and a group of people stood on the top of the high mountain, looking at Hua 14 and excitedly pointing to a sheep intestine path on the edge of the mountain and saying: "Dog, climb this last mountain, and you will arrive at our flower village!" ”

The dog looked at the mountain twenty miles away, and the sun that was slanting into the sky, and frowned, "Can the sun set?" ”

Hua 14 looked at the sun in the sky, and then looked at the excited villagers, nodded heavily: "You can still get there if you run faster!" ”

In this way, the group ran for a while with the basket on their backs, but fortunately the dog had a mule to walk around, and it was not too tired, and finally when the sun set, they crossed the mountain.

Standing on a huge rock block, the dog looked at the campfire in front of him and the thousands of stone steps at his feet, and the anticipation he had had before coming was completely relieved.

A zigzag stone staircase road, extending from the left and right two close to each other halfway up the mountainside, until the big stone platform where they stand at their feet, is the only way out for the Huazhai people.

I thought that the cow horse road when I came was difficult enough, but when I saw this stone staircase road about three miles long, I realized that this was what Hua Fourteen said, "It's a bit of a road that is not easy to walk!" ”

Sigh, that's not going to be easy to walk? It's obviously not good to go again!

I really admire how the ancestors of the Huazhai people found such a corner, is it the way led by the wild monkeys screaming all over the mountain?

"Dog, the road is not easy to walk, let's come down and walk!"

Wang Hou was a little scared, after all, it was night, and he walked the steps with torches, in case one of them was unstable and fell down the mountain, he would die!

"Well, the big guy should light more torches, walk slower, and pay attention to the safety of his feet rather than spend more time!"

The dog turned his head and explained to the people of Da Lang, as for the villagers of Huazhai, they took this road when they were young, and it was no problem to walk with their eyes closed, if it wasn't for Hua Fourteen to control them, dozens of people would have roared and ran back to the village.

"Dog, when you arrive at the village, I invite you to eat bamboo rats, my aunt is a must, there was a big official who came to our village before, and specially praised her!"

Hua Fourteen turned his head to talk to the dog while holding the torch, and the pitted steps under his feet seemed to be non-existent.

"Okay, well, when I arrive at your house safely, how can I be worthy of my beating heart and liver without eating two fat mice!"

"Hahaha, dog, what you said is so interesting, my dad likes interesting people the most, I think he can definitely agree to your flower tea deal! By the way, my bamboo rat is so fat, you can eat half of it at most! ”

The dog said yes with a mouthful, holding the reins in one hand, holding the torch in the other hand and carefully shining on the road, moving down step by step, Wang Hou, who followed the dog, was also like this, while walking cautiously, he complained in his mouth:

"I said, Ahei, how do you live in such a poor and remote place? The gentle hills outside can also live in! It's better to move anywhere than here! ”

Hua 14 explained with a smile: "The young master of the village doesn't know that my ancestor deliberately moved here to escape the war, although the road outside is good, but the safety is not as good as the depths of this mountain." ”

The dog nodded, the more deserted the ravine, the more people who escaped the war will drill inside, for the inheritance of incense, a diamond is three or four generations, and some even don't even know which dynasty and which generation outside, so a feeling of a mountain and wilderness dweller.

"Flower Fourteen, how long is it going to arrive?"

The dog felt that both feet were about to stiffen, and there was still no light in front of him, so he had to ask.

"Hurry, hurry, when you finish the steps and pass through the wild forest in front, you will arrive at the stockade!"

The dog looked up at the dark field in front of him, and sighed in his heart.

This is to build a road, just cutting a road out of the forest is very difficult, not to mention the three-mile long mountain road under your feet, it seems that it is really difficult to build a road!

Walking out of the dense woods, the eyes suddenly brightened, and I saw a half-hillside in the north, thousands of large and small bamboo buildings of all kinds gathered on the ramp, opposite the hillside is a large flat field, a ten-step wide stream zigzags through the middle, the water surface reflects the bright light of a large bonfire, under the torch, thousands of villagers in Huazhai are looking at the dogs and their party with a smile.

"Daddy, Grandma! We're back! ”

Hua Fourteen's excited voice changed, and as soon as he threw the reins in his hand, he spread his legs and ran towards the crowd.

Hua Fourteen's father, naturally called Hua Thirteen, has a six-foot-six body, a big round face with a beard, especially those two eyebrows, which are as thick as ink paintings, holding a saber in his hand, and a long hunting bow behind him, that is, the armor on his body is a little small, and it looks a little undignified.

Seeing Hua Fourteen running into his arms with tears all the way, the envious dog drooled, but the next moment, he immediately spit on the ground!

Syllable! A slap in the face! Hua Fourteen covered his face and began to cry.

Hua Thirteen angrily pointed at him and scolded: "Who gave you the courage to bring so many outsiders into the cottage?" ”

Hua Shishi covered his face aggrievedly and said: "Dad, Brother Gou'er is not an outsider, he saved our lives!" Woowoo woo ......"

The dog once had a relationship with Hua Thirteen, and he also drank a glass of wine at the wine table, and when he saw him beat Hua Fourteen to tears, he felt unfair.

"Master of the flower village, don't fight Ah Hei anymore, I dragged him here! None of his business! ”

Hua Thirteen naturally knew the dog, and the dog who listened to him gave the fourteen gangs, so he let him go and turned to the dog and replied: "Brother Zhao is the life-saving benefactor of my flower village, so you are naturally welcome to come!" Wang Shaozhai is our friend, naturally rest assured! But ......"

The dog watched him staring coldly at the huge lang and a few dumb men behind him, and looked down on him a little in his heart.

Since you want to keep the secret of Huazhai, it's best to isolate yourself from the world, since you can't do it, don't hurt people with yin and yang, what friends are not friends, and friends who stab knives in the back do less? If it was in the past, the dog would definitely have to scold him, but after walking around in the army, his belly was much wider.

"Lord Huazhai, this huge brother is my confidant and personal guard, he won't talk nonsense, as for the brothers in the back, well, they don't have a tongue in their mouths, and they can't say it if they want to! You can rest assured! ”

"No tongue?"

Hua Thirteen frowned and looked at a few people, as if they didn't believe it.

The dog sighed, this guy is really not atmospheric, this kind of thing that can be checked on the spot, no one will humiliate himself, he still has an expression of disbelief, no wonder it is better to spend four or five thousand villages in the village, it is better to fish in the village.

"Huazhai mainly doesn't believe it, but you can go over and check it out for yourself!"

Hua Thirteen nodded, stepped out of his legs and walked towards the mute man.

"Ahem! A baker's dozen! Don't let the guests into the village to rest at night, why are you stuck there? ”

Hua Thirteen had just stretched out his hand and was about to break open the dumb man's mouth to take a look, when an old voice suddenly sounded behind him, and a group of people hurriedly turned their heads to look.

I saw an old woman with gray hair and a cane of jujube wood, surrounded by a group of soldiers wearing cowhide armor.

"Mother!"

Seeing this old woman, Hua Fourteen, who was crawling on the ground, didn't cry anymore, and stood up directly, threw herself into her arms, and sprinkled on her.

The old woman gently patted Hua Fourteen's hair and said, "Good boy, you can bring home all the beards and tails of my Huazhai people, you have contributed a lot to this trip, waiting for your mother to cook you delicious food, treat you!" ”

"Grandma, why are you still coming out so late? Watch out for a cold! ”

When Hua Thirteen saw the old woman come out, he quickly turned around to greet her, and stretched out his hand from afar as if he wanted to help her.

The old woman dodged and said, "The old woman is not old enough to walk, I don't need your help!" ”

"Yes, yes, grandma is right!"

Hua Thirteen stood aside with an embarrassed face.

"Let me ask you, why don't you let these guests go back to the village to rest at such a late hour?"

"Grandma! These outsiders have not yet been identified, and it is not in accordance with the rules to bring them to the stockade! ”

"Confused!" The old woman held the cane in her hand and paused on the ground: "The little baby in the official robe is obviously from the official family, why is it an outsider?" The old woman's eyes can be seen with such flowers, are you not as good as the old woman? ”

Seeing that she was angry, Hua 13 hurriedly arched her hand and said, "Grandma, I naturally saw it, my son wants to test the people in the back!" ”

"Confused! Confused! Fool! ”

The old woman pointed at him and scolded him three times in a row, and after scolding, she was not angry, and directly stretched out the crutch in her hand and pointed at him and said, "You idiot, kneel down for me!" ”

With a bang, Hua Thirteen knelt neatly in front of her.

The old woman struck him on the back hard, ignored him, turned around and smiled at the dogs.

"Don't be angry, little officials, my Huazhai people are stupid, you must not be like them, you are tired on the road, my pot is boiling tender bamboo rat meat, let's take a walk, go home with my wife, let's eat fresh!"

So the dog was taken by the arm by the old woman into the stockade.

The dog looked at the nagging old woman in front of him, and his heart was filled with deep admiration, the owner of the flower village was in his forties, and the old woman could not see it!

It's okay if your group of people didn't come, but this has already entered your village, why do you put on a distrustful face? Still holding a steel knife and wearing armor, killing thieves? Don't dare to give them the guts!

"Grandma, the boy's surname is Zhao, and the nickname is Gou'er, this time I went to the army with Hei to serve in front of the army, thanks to the help of the Huazhai people, otherwise I would have died! You see, there are a few satins in this basket, which are gifts from me to the people of Huazhai! Thank them for saving their lives! ”

"Mother, don't listen to him! Obviously, he is in good command, so we can kill those gold thieves! So he saved our lives! ”

"Hahaha, no matter who saved whom, you two are well-known good men, go, let the old woman cook some delicious food for you! The brothers in the back also hurried to follow, the old woman has a bottle of good wine here, and she didn't have to drink it when she was late! ”

shouted to a few people from afar, and the old woman put her dog in her left hand and Hua 14 in her right hand, and the three of them laughed all the way into the village.

The rest of the villagers looked left and right, and also hugged their own men back to the village.

Hua Thirteen, who was kneeling on the ground, shook his head awkwardly, stood up, and silently followed the team back.
