Li Sanlang came to the door of a farmhouse in the village and said in a loud voice, "Brother Tuesday, are you at home?" ”

Hearing the sound in the house, a tall middle-aged man walked out of the house, and said with a smile, "It turns out that San Lang is here, come into the house and talk." With that, open the courtyard door and let Li Sanlang into the house.

Li Ming saw through the gap between the bamboo baskets that this person's home was full of tables and cabinets made of logs, with animal skin hunting bows hanging on the walls, and hunting forks and spears piled up in the corners, which was actually a hunter's house. Look at Brother Tuesday again, he is born with a strong force, a square face, a beard, and thick eyebrows. But one arm was wounded, wrapped in a white cloth, and hung from his chest with hemp rope.

Entering the room, the two sat cross-legged on the couch, and Li Sanlang asked, "Brother Tuesday, is the injury okay?" ”

The man named Brother Tuesday smiled heartily and said, "What is this flesh wound?" Back then, I was poked into a bowl-sized hole in my thigh on the battlefield in Liaodong! It's much more serious than that, and it's not just as lively now. After that, he shouted to the inner room, "At home, San Lang is here, hurry up and drink hot wine, I want to have two drinks with San Lang." ”

"Saburo is here." The curtain of the back room was lifted, and a young woman came out, holding a baby in her arms. There are not so many taboos in the mountains that women can't see outsiders, so the woman put the child on the cot and said to Li Sanlang, "San Lang sit down first, I'll help you with hot wine, and get two side dishes by the way." ”

Li Sanlang hurriedly got up to salute and said, "Second sister-in-law is slow, don't be in a hurry to drink." I have come this time to ask for both of you! ”

On Tuesday, Geqi said, "San Lang don't be so polite, if you have any requirements, just say it!" We've come to think of you as our own brother. ”

Li Sanlang said: "I heard that a man and bear came down the mountain in the village before, causing harm to domestic animals, and many people were killed and injured. Later, the second brother took a few brothers to hunt, and not only let it escape, but was also injured by it. ”

That Tuesday, Brother "Hmm" and said, "That beast is really powerful, very powerful, our brother took a few guys and formed a military formation to round it up, but it only injured it." I didn't think that it would be even more fierce after it was injured, and it hurt several of our brothers one after another. I just want to heal my injuries and then lead the team into the mountains to take revenge! ”

Li Sanlang said, "I was alone here, and I got sick again, but Brother Meng Zhou and others did not give up, took care of me day and night, and took me in the village after I got sick, and I was really grateful in my heart." ”

"Where did San Lang say this, our brothers were originally rough men in the army, and they fought a few big battles in that bird place in Liaodong one after another, and countless good brothers were thrown there. Originally, when we were soldiers and ate food, we died when we died, and we were a cheap life, and we were worthy of our families if we could exchange some money for our families. But after several wars, our brothers burned and buried nothing, and they were all greedy by those dog officials. A few brothers were angry, and when they went to theorize, they were beaten to death! I heard that the Dog Emperor was going to continue to recruit troops and fight Liaodong again. The brothers discussed, this Liaodong, say nothing can go again! Otherwise, all the men will die there, and the old and young of this family will have to starve to death! So our brothers protected the people in the village, together with the families of a few brothers who died in the army, and fled to this Zhongnan Mountain to escape the military disaster. They are all suffering people, who say what they take in and don't take in. Speaking of this, Brother Tuesday's tone was also a little embarrassed.

Li Sanlang shook his head and said, "The grace of dripping water should be reciprocated by the spring!" I heard that the bear went down the mountain and injured people, and the second brother was injured. Relying on some courage, he went into the mountains alone to seek revenge! ”

Brother Tuesday was shocked when he heard this: "San Lang is so confused! That beast is so powerful, where is it so easy to deal with! Have you ever been hurt? ”

"Second brother, don't worry!" Li Sanlang said with a smile, and immediately told everything he had happened after entering the mountain to fight people and bears. He also said to Brother Tuesday, "I was entrusted by the female tiger, and now you also know that if a person feeds the whole family and does not go hungry, this is ...... matter of breastfeeding the baby."

"Hahahaha! Saburo is really a hero! Keep your word! After hearing this, Brother Tuesday laughed and said, "What should I do, where is the child?" Just leave it to your sister-in-law to take care of. This time, Saburo you have returned safely, and you have eliminated a scourge for the village, so we brothers should have a few drinks to celebrate! ”

After hearing this, Li Sanlang was overjoyed, took Li Ming out of the basket, handed it to the woman, and said, "So, I'm tired of the second sister-in-law." ”

The second sister-in-law saw that Li Ming's appearance was pitiful, and she liked it in her heart, and said, "San Lang, don't be polite, we have always treated you as your own family." You wait, I'll go and feed him first," he said, teasing Li Ming, while picking up his own child and going to the inner room to breastfeed.

Li Sanlang opened the bear skin package again, and said to Brother Tuesday, "There is a pair of bear paws here, just stewed to replenish the body of the second brother." In addition, I have to worry about the second brother, this bear bile is a precious medicinal material, thinking that the second brother arranged for someone to go to Chang'an City to sell it, and exchange it for two cows to feed the tiger cub. Chang'an City, but it is inconvenient for me to go. ”

The second brother nodded and said, "San Lang is too polite, but my own brother, if you are kind, I will not be polite to you." This bear's paw, when your sister-in-law has finished feeding, let her take it to stew, just enough to give our brothers a drink. The cow is good to say, and tomorrow I will send into the city. ”

While the two were talking, they could only hear the woman in the inner room, "Oops! "Yes.

Brother Tuesday cared about his mother-in-law, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong at home?" ”

The second sister-in-law replied, "It's okay, I think this little guy is hungry and hurts." ”

It turned out that the second sister-in-law hugged Li Ming and her child into the house, first untied her clothes and fed her child, and then breastfed Li Ming.

Li Ming has been hungry for a long time, and when he sees that he finally has milk to eat, where will he be polite, open his small mouth to steal the milk, and bite it hard!

Tuesday, Brother and Li Sanlang chatted outside the house for a while, and when they saw that the woman had not come out, they asked, "Is it okay at home?" ”

After a while, the woman came out with a bitter face and hugged Li Ming, and said, "This little guy is so good to eat, my milk has been sucked up for him, but he still wants to eat!" ”

When Brother Tuesday and Li Sanlang heard her say this, they looked at Li Ming, only to see that his small mouth was still open and closed, obviously not full.

My family knows my own affairs best, and Brother Tuesday knows that my mother-in-law is strong and full of milk, and my children will have swelling and pain if they can't finish eating on weekdays, and they need to often express milk by hand, and they can squeeze out more than a large bowl of sea. This little baby can eat so much!

When Li Sanlang heard this, his face turned ashamed, and he said, "I'm really sorry for the two, I really don't know ......."

Brother Tuesday smiled at him and said, "It's okay, this milk is good, eat and drink enough, and sleep his mother." There will still be, but now I am afraid that I can't think about it......"

The second sister-in-law listened to his vulgarity, and couldn't help but give him a roll of the eyes. said to Li Sanlang, "San Lang, don't worry, the Zhang family also added a big fat boy last month, and I took this doll to his house to feed." Then he turned to Brother Tuesday and said, "Master, heat up the wine yourself, there is still some food on the stove, you will eat it first, and I will go back when I go." ”

When I walked into the courtyard, I remembered something again, and said to Brother Tuesday, "The head of the family, the flower dog of the Huang family next door also gave birth to a litter of puppies yesterday, you go and borrow it to feed this little tiger." ”

After Li Sanlang listened to her instructions, he secretly said in his heart, sure enough, it is still a woman who is careful, and he and Brother Tuesday have been chatting with two men, and they have forgotten that there is a little tiger in the basket who is hungry. He hurriedly got up and said to Brother Tuesday, "Don't bother the second brother, I'll take this tiger cub to the Huang family to borrow it." After that, he hugged the little tiger and went out to Huang's house.

It is said that Brother Tuesday saw Li Ming holding the little tiger with black hair all over his body, and seeing that he was in a hurry, it was inconvenient to ask more. So he went to the kitchen to heat the wine, and found a piece of deer liver that had been boiled earlier on the stove, cut it with a knife, and waited for Li Sanlang to come back and eat a piece of wine.

After a while, Li Sanlang came back with the little tiger in his arms and said to Brother Tuesday, "Second Brother Lao, wait a long time, this little guy is also a eater!" Huang Jiahua's dog milk is not enough for it to eat. Fortunately, he still has a dairy cow at home, so it was not easy to feed it. ”

Brother Tuesday saw that the little tiger was full and had fallen asleep, so he asked curiously, "Brother, I have a bit of knowledge when I go south and north, and I have never heard of this black-haired tiger!" ”

Li Sanlang put the little tiger away, laughed, and said to Brother Tuesday, "Second brother is right, this black tiger is a desolate species, the king of beasts, you listen to me give you a detailed explanation." ”

The two chatted while drinking, and Brother Tuesday was amazed after hearing it, and said, "Such a different species are respectful to that milk baby, and that child will be amazing when he grows up!" ”

Li Sanlang took a few sips of hot wine, already a little drunk, and said, "Yes, since ancient times, all those who have achieved great things have had a vision, I look at this son's intelligent vision, the little baby has been able to understand people's words, and it will become a great weapon in the future!" But let him teach well, lest he go astray. ”

Brother Tuesday nodded and said, "Yes, good man, you have to be upright and stand up to the sky!" Don't go down the crooked path and be the one who brings disaster to the country and the people. When the time comes, it will inevitably make the ancestors under the Nine Springs be humiliated. After that, he filled Li Sanlang with a bowl of wine, and said, "Sanlang, my brother sees that you talk extraordinary, and at first glance, you are from a high-ranking family." Why did you come to this remote mountain to avoid disaster, my brother didn't want to ask more, the world is not quiet, and every family has a scripture that is difficult to read. Now that I've said that, my brother wants to ask you something. ”

When Li Sanlang heard this, he hurriedly said, "Second brother, but it doesn't hurt to say, my own brother, why be polite." ”

"San Lang, you know me, a vulgar soldier. Although he later became a small leader in the army, he was promoted by nobles to read two books, but after all, he was old! Later, the noble man died and became a deserter again, and this is the end of my life! Brother Tuesday said, sighed, and said, "The situation in our village is basically like this, just a few of us are coarse, and we can't recognize a few big characters, and those women, children and old people have no knowledge, my brother wants to send the doll to the city to study, but he also suffers from no way, and people don't look down on me and other mountain villagers." You and I just talked about this today, my brother wants to beg you, when you raise your children in the future, can you take the village dolls with you by the way? Brother, I can't thank you enough! "As soon as you pull off your clothes, you have to kneel.

It turns out that in ancient times, people's literacy rate was terrifyingly low, and the right to read and write was generally only in the hands of the family lords, so that their ancestors could enslave the people for generations. Therefore, ordinary people have abnormal respect for learned people, and there is no way to study. So it was normal for Brother Tuesday to kneel down to Li Sanlang and beg him to teach the village dolls to read and write.

How could Li Sanlang make him kneel, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to support him, and said, "Second brother, don't be like this!" That's what I'm thinking! After a few days, he prepared some books and textbooks and began to teach them to read and write. ”

That Tuesday, the brother was grateful, and the two drank for a long time, and the second sister-in-law of the Zhou family came back with Li Ming, who was full and asleep.

As soon as she entered the door, she said, "This doll is too good to eat, I really don't know how he can eat so much with his little belly!" I first took it to Zhang's house, and as soon as I told Zhang's daughter-in-law, she agreed. But until the milk is exhausted, it still can't feed the doll. I couldn't help it, so I took it to her uncle's house again, her little aunt had just given birth, and the amount of milk was enough, but it was still not enough for him to eat. Later, I found the daughter-in-law of the Wang family, and collected the milk of the four of us women to feed him! You see, now that he is full and asleep, he is fragrant, but I am running around after a hard time. ”

Brother Tuesday listened to Li Sanlang's introduction and knew that this son was extraordinary, and he was in a good mood because he had another matter. scolded him: "You are a woman, what do you know!" Don't say more, go and scald some wine! It's time to celebrate today! Saburo has promised to teach the village dolls to read and write in the future. In the future, let our family be a big cow, and we should be closer to this little doll! ”

When the woman heard this, she couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said, "Then I have to worry a lot about Saburo, this baby grew up with our big cow and ate my milk, so naturally he will be a dear brother from now on!" "Let's talk about it, settle Li Ming. Go to the kitchen and scald the wine.

The two drank until the middle of the moon, and Li Sanlang was full of wine and food, so he stepped on the bright moonlight, hugged the sleeping Li Ming, carried the tiger cub on his back, and returned to his home.
