In August, the morning and evening are slightly cool, but the sun is hot during the day, and the tail of the autumn tiger is still strong.

Luo Feng carried more than a stone of grain on his thin shoulders, a hundred catties, and walked out of the city for several miles in one breath without feeling tired at all.

He could completely keep up with the pace of the third uncle, and he could even chat with them while carrying the burden. The flat shoulders on his shoulders were weighed down by the grain at both ends, but there was a wonderful rhythm, and he didn't seem so tired when he walked along this rhythm.

"Second Brother Qin has a good eye, and the horse is good, although it looks like this horse is no longer young, but he walks briskly with more than 100 catties of copper coins, and he doesn't sweat a little, good horse." The third uncle looked at the horse that Luo Feng had just bought while carrying the burden.

It was a black horse, black all over its body, except for a pinch of white hair on its forehead and a white section of its hooves.

Qin Qiong said with a smile, "A good horse can live to be thirty or forty years old, and the teeth of this horse are ten years old. According to a notebook left by my grandfather, it is said that there was a horse in the Han Dynasty that lived to be 60 years old, and it was a cross between a Dawan sweat horse and a Hetao grassland horse. ”

He was a skilled soldier of the Guard, and he was all too familiar with horses. According to his introduction, when a horse is one year old, it is already equivalent to a human being twelve years old, and when it is two years old, it is equivalent to eighteen years old, and then every year is equivalent to three years for a human being.

Qin Qiong held his yellow horse with his left hand, and Luo Feng's black horse with his right hand, "This horse looks a little thin, with a messy mane, but in fact, this horse is a good horse, you see his legs, his four hooves are thick and powerful, this horse has strong explosive strength, and his endurance is also good." I fell in love with this horse at a glance, or I wouldn't have let you buy it. ”

He said that the dark horse is actually a good horse, an authentic Hetao horse bloodbreed, but it is a pity that there is no recuperation training when he is young.

"The man of the tooth sold a good horse as a pack horse, and he really wronged the horse. After Xiao Wu went back, feed the horse well, let him recover his spirit, and then train it with appropriate methods, I dare not say that this horse will become an excellent war horse, but at least the riding is good, if it is a plough to pull the cart, it is really wronged. ”

Luo Feng also likes this horse very much, he estimates that the four white hooves of this horse make the tooth people dislike, if this horse is black all over, then it is a black horse under the seat of the overlord Xiang Yu.

But he likes these four white hooves, which are good-looking.

"Little Five, this horse is black all over, but it has four white hooves, why don't you call it white hooves." Qin Qiong gave the horse a name, and his horse was yellow, so he named it Huang Huma.

"The name of the white hoof is good, but it lacks a bit of momentum, I think it is better to call it a thousand miles of light and thousands of miles of smoke and clouds?" Luo Feng looked at the horse and couldn't help but think of a horse in an old gentleman's commentary.

It is also jet black, with a little white hair on the top of its head.

Qin Qiong was stunned, the name of this horse is too long, a lamp for thousands of miles is covered by smoke and clouds, and the name is very scary, but who named the horse like this. But after thinking about it, my cousin is only sixteen this year, so he smiled, "Yes, this name is loud." ”

"How good it is to be called Lao Hei!" Xiao Jiudao.

"I think it's better to call Xiao Hei."

"It should be called Big Black."

As a result, several teenagers from the same village thought that the name was too long and awkward, so they gave the dark horse a nickname there.

Everyone was carrying a hundred pounds on their shoulders, but everyone was stunned and relaxed, which made Luo Feng admire it very much.

Although everyone is very thin, they seem to have endless strength, especially the amazing endurance. He only picked twelve buckets of grain himself, but the third uncle picked more than himself, one stone of grain, plus dozens of catties of reward money, a heavy pick, but they could talk and laugh leisurely.

There were no robbers encountered along the way, maybe it was because the blue-faced ghost had just been planted in Zhangqiu, or maybe the names of Qin Qiongluo and the others were now loud, and no one dared to provoke them, in short, the journey went smoothly.

After resting a few shoulders for twenty miles, I finally arrived at Nanshan Village in the middle of the night.

Nanshan Village is twenty miles away from the county seat, in the southeast of the county seat, and is close to the mountains and water.

The north of the village is Changbai Mountain, this mountain is also very famous in Zhangqiu County, and even in the whole Qi County is famous, because this mountain top is often named with white clouds, the mountain is high, the mountains are stacked on top of each other, stretching for hundreds of miles, and it is called the deputy mountain of Mount Tai.

Nanshan Village is built close to this small Mount Tai, there are about 100 households, because it is in the mountainous area, it is a relatively poor place in Zhangqiu, and there are few people in the land.

Because there is little land, there are many craftsmen in Nanshan Village, those who learn craftsmen, those who work as men, etc., and Luo Feng's family is to strike iron from generation to generation, from generation to generation.

From a distance, you can feel the poverty of Nanshan Village, with low and dilapidated thatched houses, scattered at the foot of the mountain.

The road in front of the village is tortuous and narrow, and the fields on both sides of the road are also sloping and dry, and there is no neat water to irrigate the fields.

At this time, there were some crops growing in the fields, but they did not look good, and the slopes were scattered with a few elderly men and some women in thorn hairpin skirts.

Although many people in later generations are overturning the case for Yang Guang, saying how ambitious he is, how diligent he is, and saying that his failure is because of the rebellion of those aristocratic careerists, Luo Feng wants to say that no matter whether the history books exaggerate his mediocrity or not, no matter how great the emperor is, no matter how great the emperor is, his people should not be unable to eat.

Now that he has arrived in the Sui Dynasty, and in the year of Daye, he has become an ordinary small people, and he dislikes Yang Guang more and more, just looking at the women, children and old people in the fields, he knows that this dilapidated and desolate small mountain village is actually the epitome of the Great Sui Empire today.

"Brother!"

A voice sounded in the distance, and then Luo Feng saw several teenagers running towards him.

There was a boy who ran the fastest, and in a moment he rushed in front of him.

The head is especially big, the brain is thin, and the body is very thin. A face full of vegetables, but the eyes are bright, and the hair is combed in two buns, as if it has two corners.

He happily surrounded Luo Feng, "Fifth brother, are you back?" ”

The third uncle on the side said, "It's not that you're back, little sixth, you see what good things your brother brought you back, grain, a whole picket of grain, there are grains, rice and noodles, you have a full meal tonight." ”

As soon as the young man heard that he had a full meal, his eyes flashed, and he sucked it violently, and suddenly the two long noses on his lips sucked into his nostrils violently, and after sucking, he stretched out his slap and wiped it fiercely, and when he was done, the hand was about to touch Luo Feng's body.

Luo Feng, who was watching, felt a chill, and hurriedly put down the pick and dodged away.

"Little Liu, hurry up and help my brother pick up a shoulder, these grains have been picked all the way, and my shoulders are tender."

In his memory, this big-headed boy with snot is called Luo Xiaoliu, that is, his half-brother and half-brother, who is twelve years old this year, but he is malnourished and looks like a big-headed doll.

"Brother, are these really all food, are they all from our family?"

"Of course, help me pick it up and get it home."

Luo Xiaoliu looked left and right around the pick, and after confirming that it was really food, the excited ghost screamed.

"Where did you come from, brother?"

"Go home first, I'll tell you later, where is my mother?"

"My mother is weaving at home, and my sister-in-law and little sister are also helping, so I'll go back and tell them." After speaking, Xiao Liu picked up a burden of more than 100 catties and ran back, but the little one turned out to run fast.

Qin Qiong exclaimed on the side, "The sixth cousin is also born with divine power, a small man, but he is so powerful. ”

"In terms of strength, Xiaoliu's strength is much greater than mine, this kid is a little naïve, but he is born with great strength, and now he is helping the landlord of Wangzhuang next door to herd cattle, and he often fights with the cow, and he has never lost."

"Fight with cows?" Qin Qiong's mouth couldn't close in shock, "My cousin is really fierce!" ”

"Hahaha, fierce is a little silly, I was about to introduce you cousin to him just now, but he already ran away with his burden, second brother, go, the thatched house in front is my house, it is shabby, cousin don't dislike it!"

"Where's the word, let's go, I still saw my aunt once when I was a child, and I haven't seen it for nearly seventeen or eighteen years, I don't know if my aunt is in good health." Qin Qiong said with emotion. If it weren't for this halfway meeting, maybe I might not see this cousin who married Zhangqiu again in this life.
