The plan of the year lies in the spring, and the plan of the day lies in the morning.

Those who are still asleep will be cursed by the old people in the village pointing at their backbones, even if it is past the busy farming season, entering the season of indifference to people in winter, it is impossible to sleep lazily.

The peasants, who had carved the word "industrious" into their bones, would get up when the sun had just risen, and those who had work in the fields would carry their hoes and go down to the fields for a while, and then come back for breakfast.

I can't be idle if I don't have any work, I sweep the yard, feed the chickens and pigs, and I can always find something to do in the east and the west, and I am never willing to waste this good time in the morning.

Young people are always a little snooze, especially when it comes to the cold weather outside.

But my father and mother always don't give a chance, every now and then I always carry a branch to lift the quilt, you listen, early in the morning, the first family in front of the head of the old man Liu's house began to fly and jump a scene.

Uncle Liu waved branches all over the yard and chased after the two lazy sons of his family, who got up late. Liu Po, a neighbor who lives in the west, watched the excitement while cooking porridge, and pointed out the escape route to the brothers from time to time, and turned her head to remember that her lazy son was also lying in the nest, and picked up the burning stick in front of the stove and scolded and walked to the house, "The sun is getting high, the beggars are getting up, and the little rabbit cub is still in the nest, see if the old lady doesn't kill you!" ”

"Ahh

How can a person who can get up early be a beggar?

Since the end of Zhangfu's work, more than a month has passed in the blink of an eye. In the past, in order not to miss the work time, I got up early in the morning every day and rushed to go. Now I'm idle, and I don't wake up until three o'clock in the morning every day.

It's really cold outside, and I just went to the pawnshop in Xichengfang a few days ago and bought an old winter coat.

There is everything in the pawnshop, I spent a hundred and ten dollars to buy three broken quilts, and when I came back, I blocked the window holes with wooden boards, and I don't blame myself for getting up late, this room is dim, and I wake up naturally when I sleep, and it is already bright outside, blame me?

Some people say that how can a pawnshop have tattered clothes? In fact, this ancient pawnshop also had the function of a grocery store, usually collecting some old objects, tables, chairs, clothes, shoes, and a lot of miscellaneous items, collecting cheap, selling cheap, and making a difference.

As for valuable things such as antique calligraphy and paintings, house deeds, and title deeds, they are all pawned in the quality shop in Dongchengfang.

Look at the dog left, he also woke up, only Dasha was still snoring and still sleeping, the air was full of coolness, but the bed was warm and fascinating.

I didn't want to get up, but I couldn't bear the stomach and kept screaming, so I struggled to get out of bed, washing rice, cooking porridge in one go.

Now it's two meals a day, and since I put on new clothes, I don't know what's going on, and I can't do anything like lying on the ground and begging others to eat.

"Cangli knows etiquette and knows honor and disgrace when food and clothing are sufficient"--"Guanzi Herdsman"

My father has nagged countless times, being a beggar is a shameful thing after all, and I should be in a hurry but I can't accept my fate.

Salted fish still has ideals, not to mention being a man.

I have already thought about it last night, while the money in my pocket can still support some days, I have to chop some firewood to use it recently, and then go after the heavy snow in winter, my brother's small body can not resist the cold.

People have no foresight, but they must have near-term worries. As the saying goes, the rich are sad for the summer, and the poor are sad for the winter. Every winter, a large number of people will freeze to death, and beggars who are poorly clothed and hungry will find it even more difficult to survive this thief's winter!

After eating porridge and borrowing two woodcutters, the brother took the rope and went out of Nancheng to Chai Mountain.

It is said that last month, the officials and men of the Yuchuan County Ya acted in a big show. A team of people came to the Xingzhou Mansion, with the documents of the imperial court, and severely reprimanded Liu County's order, everyone thought that this Liu County's order was going to be imprisoned, and the last time they had to pull off their official clothes and fall into the people, who knew that the plot was reversed, and let him make meritorious deeds.

This Liu county order was born in the same jinshi, and after gaining fame, he waited for two years to make up for such a practical errand as a border county order. I thought that I would do a big job, wait for the end of the errand and then make some money to find a way, transfer back to the mainland to be a petty official in a rich county, and slowly boil up my qualifications, wouldn't it be beautiful to gain fame and fortune!

Therefore, since he took office, he has done a lot of good things for the people, encouraging farming, attracting households, and building bridges and roads.

There is a saying in the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty, called, once a year, once a year, three years for a big inspection, three times to get a good one, to be promoted to one level, three times to get a bad, go to work and wait to participate.

For the rest, if you are in the middle of the evaluation, you can only rise to some false fame and get some gold and silver rewards.

This year happens to be the time of the three-year examination of Liu County's order, but a military disaster has gone bad, it was originally a 'poor' evaluation to be punished, and then considering the past achievements, the two are worth the middle, stay in office and watch again!

Liu Xianling is forty-five years old this year, and he has made a good careful plan, and he thinks that this gold thief may come to rob again one day, and where will he have the opportunity to atone for his crimes, and he is disheartened for a while, drunk and drunk all day long, chanting poetry and painting! His first-hand painting skills are famous for Yukawa.

The first leader was the shopkeeper, but the big and small affairs were broken by the second and third hands, and Sun Zhubo and the new county lieutenant Liu sang and I appeared. The newly repaired county government is full of miasma, and there are only a few small officials left in line one after another, stumbling on each other in order to make more money and power.

Speaking of which, I have to mention the county lieutenant Liu, An Li said that he is ranked third in the county government, and he can't compete with the second master, but this master is a powerful person.

At the age of thirty-five, he was in the prime of life, and he used to serve in civilian and military affairs in front of the military tent of the Dadu River, although he did not fight in front of the battle, but he was also the master of dozens of large and small battle formations. is a powerful character who can know the soldiers and manage the people when he gets off the horse, and he was promoted to the captain of Yuchuan County after his success.

During the Northern Dynasties, the atmosphere of emphasizing literature over military force has been much lighter after a catastrophe.

In addition, Sun Zhubo, who is not inferior to the old ghost of officialdom in playing with his mind and strategy, actually fought evenly in the two.

The two officials fought, and the dog who became a beggar couldn't feel the slightest wave. When I went out of the South City Gate, I also talked and laughed with the head of the Liu team on duty, I often messed around here on weekdays, and the dog's mouth was sweet, and the two parties were already familiar with each other.

After leaving the city gate and turning to the northwest, I arrived at Chai Mountain in half an hour. At this time, it is past the lush season, and it is a good time to cut firewood!

Although there are a lot of less shelters, you have to be careful when you enter Chai Mountain, although there are a lot fewer poisonous snakes and poisonous insects, and there are more rabbits, roe deer, and these small beasts on the mountain, so the large tiger beasts here are more to worry about.

What you have to worry about is the trap set by Orion, this season is the time when the beasts stick to the autumn fat, and all kinds of small beasts are fat.

Set up a set to catch a hare and stew it to eat the fragrance, it is enough to be satisfied, even if you are reluctant to eat it, you can exchange it for a lot of copper coins in Dongcheng. Therefore, there are many traps in this mountain.

With a stick in his left hand and a knife in his right hand, he walked along the path between the woods, and the twigs and small trees must not be cut down.

The three of them were three or five steps apart, standing in a row and walking side by side, and when they met a suitable one, they would cut it down with a firewood knife and throw it in a conspicuous place to make a pile, and then gather it when they returned.

Just walked a hundred or ten meters, the calf was a little tired, and insisted on walking for about fifty steps, completely unable to walk, three people sat under the tree in a bunch, at first chattering non-stop dogs, at this time closed up early.

Climbing up and down along the way, I had to cut down those dead branches hard, and my small body was a little difficult.

Looking back, I felt that it was not enough for the three of us to carry it, so I could only rest and cut it for a while.

Arms to thigh-thick ones are the most suitable, but they are hard to find. Although the young man's strength is small but enough, he will come to the strength after a while, thinking that he will have to hurry for a while, and he will not have to carry too much wood for the first time, and he will cut more than a dozen steps forward to estimate that it is almost enough, so he stopped, turned around and retracted, avoided the locks made of a few leather ropes, and sighed that it seemed that he did not have the blessing to eat game.

The two cleaned up each other, the big fool was taller and carried more, he and the dog had a burden left, and the remaining some were hidden in the dry grass next time, and the firewood knife was tied and shouted and carried the firewood back to the city.

After resting all the way, I arrived in front of the South City Gate. From a distance, I saw Team Liu sitting lazily on the small wooden card with his feet buttoned, and the three or five soldiers behind him were also wearing red tasseled felt hats, standing and sitting guarding the city gate.

Liu Tou saw the dog coming over with firewood on his back sweaty, and shouted in a loud voice: "Little dog, you are asking for yourself, you see that other beggars are begging for food and mixing their stomachs with a drill of haystacks, how comfortable they sleep every day, and a few go to Chai Mountain to chop firewood!" ”

The dog moved a few steps, unloaded the firewood and sat on the ground, gasping for a while before saying: "Master Liu, don't laugh at the boy, begging for food is forced to eat, and you can't help but make progress!" ”

Liu Tou on the side listened, cheered a few times, and said to the subordinates who gathered around: "Listen, this is what the scholar said, and he is so uplifted when he listens to it!" The people around him nodded yes.

The dog looked around shyly, and hurriedly bowed his hand and said: "Liu Yedon't make fun of the kid anymore, he only knows a few words, so dare to say that he is a scholar!" ”

After speaking, his eyes rolled and he said, "Master Liu, is there a lack of firewood at home?" The boy wants to sell this half load of firewood in the East Market, and I thank you for taking care of it for many days. You stay, take it and burn it at home! ”

Team Leader Liu on the side laughed and said to the people around him: "Look, this is the practice of those big headscarves, and the brains of scholars are the upper way!" After speaking, he twisted his beard and looked at the firewood pile and said: "Boy, this half load of firewood is good-looking, and it is worth three or four cents to pick up the East Market, you are willing to give it to me, but I won't give you a penny!" The people on the side also looked at the dog with a smile.

Who knew that the dog also laughed for a while and said: "Master Liu, my father told me since I was a child to know the grace of the newspaper, don't say that this half load of firewood, even if the firewood of the three brothers is given to you, it doesn't matter." ”

"Hey, what is this little dog usually doing today?" An elderly veteran on the side said curiously.

Team Liu also shook his head, and after thinking about it, he couldn't guess it and said: "Little dog, this is your brother's back, don't regret giving it to me for nothing today?" ”

The dog hurriedly shook his head and said: "Master Liu, the kid doesn't lie to you, this firewood was given to you for nothing today, thank you for taking care of it for many days!" ”

Hearing what the dog said, Dasha and Gou Yu on the side hurriedly looked at him, and secretly pulled down the dog and said, "What kind of stupidity did Brother Da Lang make, he only gave half a load, why did he give it all to him?" ”

The dog smiled and whispered: "Don't get in the way, I have my own clever plan!" ”

Team Liu next to him and a few of his subordinates discussed it for a long time and couldn't guess it, so he asked: "Little dog, you ghost elf, what kind of moth are you going to be, say it quickly, otherwise I won't take this load of firewood!" ”

Seeing him say this, the dog said with a shy face: "Liu Ye is really Liu Ye, even if you take this firewood, the kid does have some trivial things to trouble you." ”

The bearded Liu Tou smiled, posing as if he had known this, and did not ask questions but looked at what the dog was going to say.
