Zhao Xiaotian Tie Dan and Xiangzi, according to the agreed time, went to Shuangcha Hezi to see the land.

These days, Xiangzi is busy with Xiuzhi's affairs, but Zhao Xiaotian and Tie Dan are busy dismantling wood, buying carriages, and preparing to move.

Since I got the pardon document issued by the county government, the whole village is happy. According to Xiangzi's meaning, except for a few handy guys, all the other earthen cannons and old guns were handed over, and Zhao Xiaotian and Tie Dan personally escorted them to the county office. County Magistrate Liu didn't embarrass them, said a few words of comfort, and handed it over to Xiangzi to deal with it with all his powers.

The three brothers talked and laughed, and before they knew it, they had crossed the willow river.

Zhao Xiaotian looked up to the sky and sighed, and said with a smile: "Oh, this matter of fate is strange." If it weren't for my unobtrusive nephew, the second brother and Miss Kong, I might not be able to see each other. ”

Xiangzi smiled "hehe" and said, "What do you mean, I also want to thank my nephew?" ”

Zhao Xiaotian smiled heartily and said: "It's really a thing to a thing, my nephew is a mischievous kid, and he doesn't listen to anyone." He is very bold, and sometimes, I also fight with him. But since you have cleaned it up, you will be so good. Not only did he not hold a grudge against you, but he admired you in his heart, and said that he would worship you as a teacher if he had the opportunity. ”

Xiangzi smiled indifferently and said, "That baby is smart, if it is used on time, it will be productive in the future." ”

Zhao Xiaotian smiled with satisfaction and said, "Well, he is the most knowledgeable person in our family." ”

After a pause, Zhao Xiaotian tilted his head again, smiled mysteriously in his eyes and said, "What is the matter between you and Miss Kong?" When will you get married, brother, I have to give you Zhang Luo. ”

Xiangzi sighed lightly, smiled sadly, and said, "I'll tell you the truth, I have nothing to do with Miss Kong, and I can't get married." ”

Zhao Xiaotian and Tie Dan were both shocked, and they both stared at Xiangzi with puzzled eyes and said, "Why? Didn't you say you were going to get engaged? ”

Xiangzi smiled casually and said, "That girl has a story behind it." ”

So, he briefly talked about Xiuzhi's thoughts and the situation of the person he liked.

Tie Dan listened, looked at Xiangzi suspiciously, and said, "No, since the fight started from Shuixigou, I have seen her stick to you." Seeing that your eyes are wrong, and happily letting you hug her. I thought people were taking a fancy to you, but it turned out to be a commotion. ”

Xiangzi smiled faintly and said, "Xiuzhi is very simple, sometimes like a doll." When I was happy, I didn't remember that I was a big girl. ”

Zhao Xiaotian was dull for a long time, sighed, and said, "No matter what you say, this is too much to the second brother, right?" Why didn't you catch it, you fell into a reputation, how many good girls do you have to miss? ”

Xiangzi smiled nonchalantly and said, "What are you afraid of, I'm not in a hurry to get married." ”

Zhao Xiaotian glared at him and said, "Why aren't you in a hurry?" There are more than 20 people, and I am anxious for you. ”

Xiangzi smiled and said, "Big brother, you are single, why are you in such a hurry." ”

Zhao Xiaotian listened, sighed dejectedly, and said, "I'll just break the jar, there are more than thirty people, who can wait for you." I'm going to be a bachelor for the rest of my life. ”

As he spoke, he laughed out loud with a self-deprecating "haha".

Shuangcha Hezi is a small river flowing out of the Tianshan Mountains, which is divided into two river forks and gets its name here. The river forms a "human" shape here, and Shuangchahezi Village is located on the prefix of "human".

Xiangzi found the village chief Wang Xueming.

After listening to Xiangzi's intention, Wang Xueming didn't say a word, and prepared a horse and went out of the village with Xiangzi and his party.

On the way, Wang Xueming briefed them on the local situation. He pointed to the forks of the river that were gradually parting and said, "The forks of the river that go to the northwest flow to the north of Santai. This one goes to the northeast and flows to the broken city. The land on both sides of the fork of the West River is saline-alkali, the soil layer is thin, and it is okay to plant trees, and it takes some effort to plant crops. On both sides of the East River fork, although the terrain is not so flat, the soil is fertile. As long as you dig out the piers and red willow nests, plant what grows. ”

As he spoke, he was already standing on the lap of the word "human".

Looking north, the clear water of the river meanders in front of you a beautiful picture.

A nest of stalks, emerald green thin leaves, set off the tall and slender stems, swaying reed-like flower spikes, like one by one, warmly welcoming the elderly.

Clusters, clusters, graceful red willows, with pink flowers on their heads, shyly and timidly, concealing a girlish beauty.

Slightly flat and wide, some unknown weeds compete to produce fruits of different shapes, trying to show their ability to reproduce.

Not far away, the river gently bends into a graceful semicircle.

In that semicircular land, there is a dense comb of elm trees, which have depended on each other for generations. Looks like it's been some years.

Shoko stared at the woods for a moment, then galloped his horse and ran in that direction. From a distance, the trees were dense, and when I entered the forest, I realized that there was a hole in it. Not only is the open space wide, but the elm trees seem to have many families.

Nest by nest, ancestors for generations, clustered and grown. And the large open space was left to the verdant and shiny weeds without hesitation. After passing through several families, my eyes suddenly lit up.

In the middle of the clearing to the south, there is a nest growing high, like a well-growing red willow. From the foot of the red willow, a ribbon-like meandering stream floated out.

Approaching and listening, the faintly singing stream is like a sentimental girl, expressing her feelings quietly and sprouting.

Shoko was overjoyed, and the prancing horse came to a mound at the western end of the woods.

Looking back to the north, it looks like a harmonious and beautiful village, hidden in the shade of a cloud-like tree.

At the top of the tree, curling smoke swirls around, and under the tree, there are bursts of children's frolicking and sporadic dog barking. Just as Xiangzi was immersed in the beautiful picture, Zhao Xiaotian and the others also came over.

Before they could walk up the mound, Shoko couldn't wait to point to the woods and say, "Build a village here." ”

Before Zhao Xiaotian could speak, Wang Xueming grinned and said, "You are really good eyesight, I was thinking about this place before." ”

Walking up the mound, he continued, "Legend has it that once upon a time there was a widow who used to meet with her good friends. After a long time, he was seen by others, so he was so ashamed that he hung up on the branch of the tree and hanged himself. Since then, few people have dared to go into the woods. Even now, the sheep herders do not dare to go inside easily. That's why the grass in the forest grows so lushly. The spring in the middle of the forest seems to be not big, but if you use a stone hoop to make a pool for dozens of people to eat and drink, it is not a good fit. Besides, the spring water is still sweet, and there is no trace of alkaline taste. ”

After a pause, he continued, "Cut down all the small trees in the forest, and leave some old trees for the shade."

Put it in place well, build dozens of houses, don't build it. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the east and said, "Wangdong's land has hundreds of acres, to say the least. Catch up with the cold weather before the rectification, pour two stubble water pressure alkali. Catch up with the spring next year, what you plant and what you grow. The turf field to the north of the forest can be planted now, and some vegetables can be planted first. Pick a ditch from the upstream along the river and build a gate. These fields can be watered and grow with anything. ”

Zhao Xiaotian, a little excited, said to Wang Xueming: "We have just arrived, and in the future, we will have to bother my brother to guide and take care of us." ”

Wang Xueming, stroked his goatee, smiled and said, "You guys are neighbors?" Besides, you and Assistant Guo are brothers, so what else is there to say? In the future, when I open up the wasteland and repair the house, I have manpower and farm tools, you just need to prepare the materials. ”

When Xiangzi heard this, he smiled with relief: "They have more than 20 people, most of them are young and strong dealers, and some of them have strength, just rely on you to give more guidance." Seeing that the sky is cold, it is really dry, and the hands are tighter. If you can send some workers, it will be better, and we will pay the workers according to the market. ”

Wang Xuemingle said with a smile: "It's easy to talk about money, it's easy to talk about money." ”

The group looked around for a while, and then turned to the spring.

Zhao Xiaotian happily rushed over, lay on the ground, and drank a few sips of cool spring water. Turned over, wiped his mouth randomly, and said happily: "This water is really sweet." ”

So, everyone leaned over and took a few sips, and they were all full of praise for the spring water.

Shoko followed the flow of water and found the source.

Aside from a nest of grass embraced by red willows, a puddle the size of a basin is revealed. The water was as clear as the air in front of you, without a trace of impurities.

At the bottom of the pit, there is a thin layer of yellow sand, and the surface of the sand is blown by the water with many small drums that jump happily.

Xiangzi shook her head in admiration, but unexpectedly found that her figure was clearly pressed on the mirror-like water.
