The young man likes to compare everything, and says that when he goes to the stone field, he will go together...... On the first day, seven or eight teenagers from Yangjia Village went together to ask for wages, and although the adults had already sued them, they still had to pretend to be shrewd, so they had to go together, but said that they would go, and set off in a group in the afternoon, chatting all the way for more than ten miles, and coming back in the evening, as a big matter, lighting a fire in the dry place on the scene, and gathering together to discuss. The girls who were the same age as Yan'er sang and kicked the shuttlecock in the other corner, playing at home, and over there, the boys were unprecedentedly serious.

Li Hu only learned today that in Jingkang, how cheap the people's labor is, on the basis of taking care of food, climbing cliffs and wedges to quarry, the number of quarrying is six wen a day, the small workers who carry and carry the stones are only two and a half yuan, and when they reach the level of stonemasons, they are slightly better, and the master craftsmen are fifty wen, relying on the work and counting the piecework, or buying stones, and they have to pay the employer with utensils or stones, while most of those small craftsmen are apprentices with the teacher, and they do not pay at all.

Because they are all offspring who have not grown up, the owner of the stone field, a rich man surnamed Zhang, only gave two yuan, and it was still soft and hard to soak.

In this way, two cents a day, sixty cents a month, seven hundred and twenty cents a year, less than a penny, a year and a half, only converted to one or two pieces of silver, Li Hu plans to buy ten acres of land, want to buy one acre of land, need to be reluctant for decades without eating, spending, or not using.

However, the Yong people are the hardest working people in the world.

Even so, in a season like winter, or even a season like winter, as long as someone is idle, they want to earn these few dollars, and there is no shortage of labor in the stone quarry. When it comes to low wages, people say, "Idleness is idleness." "That is, a bastard like Dog Chestnut who has not yet started a family, has only worked for a day or two, and feels that it is too bitter, so he says that he will not go...... Li Hu learned this, in fact, he didn't want to go at all, with such a low salary, it was better for him to study, or wander around and find a way to make money.

He told her sister-in-law about her thoughts.

Before Yan'er and her sister-in-law had time to express their opinions, Yan'er and her mother came in, and while there was no one, she told Li Hu: "Go ahead." Originally, your sister-in-law and I didn't want you to go. That's too much work, and it's not profitable. But you said it, now the descendants of the village have to go with you, and the old people in the family are very happy, and when you go to the stone field, the elders of several families come and say that you should take them with you, not to earn a few dollars, they are all old, and they can't develop the habit of idleness. If you can't say this, then how can you say it? You do it first, let's write a letter to your brother Gangzi, see when he comes back, pick you up and go to Cangjun then, and then find a decent livelihood. ”

Li Hu nodded.

Waiting to sit in the scene, looking at the lit bonfire, watching the friends in the village in full swing, and discussing it as a serious matter, Li Hu felt very uncomfortable.

Noon is a meal, but can you save breakfast and dinner?

Can't save it.

Once a person has done heavy work, he can't help but improve his life, is these two pennies enough to improve his life?

If someone makes money, how does it earn it? What is saved between the teeth, does heavy work, and is reluctant to eat, accumulates over time, and saves some.

What's so exciting about this kind of work?

Still talking about it repeatedly?

Just want to practice martial arts with yourself?

Dog Chestnut saw that Li Hu was silent, and asked next to him, "Brother." What's wrong with you? Looks unhappy. They're too noisy, aren't they? They will be happy to be happy one day, and tomorrow they will be tired like dead dogs, and last year I went for a few days, and I came back in the evening with diarrhea...... I said to my mother, saying that I would not go anything. ”

Li Huxin, he disguised and said: "I'm thinking about practicing martial arts together." ”

Dog Chestnut's eyes suddenly lit up, and he turned around and shouted: "Don't make noise, do you still practice martial arts." ”

What did he look forward to?

He encouraged everyone and said: "Start practicing today, in the future, the future generations of our village will be a two-man fighter, and then there is Li Hu, as soon as we go out, who is powerful, people also say Wang Xiaoqi of Wangjiagou, Chen Zhaibao sledgehammer?" ”

Li Hu stood up.

The teenagers also stood up one after another and said loudly, "Practice martial arts." Get up and practice martial arts. ”

Li Hu's kung fu in the Dongxia Drill Ceremony was not a day or two, and after a moment of hard work, he gathered them into two columns, stretched out one of his hands and said, "Kung Fu is not practiced in a day or two. But if you want to not be bullied soon, you have to use everyone's strength in one place, you look at my hands, look at your hands, the five fingers are long and short, corresponding to the monarch and the minister's assistant, a single finger can do nothing, and together, you can grasp and hold. ”

He saw that the young men were at a loss, and said straightforwardly: "If you want to gather the strength of everyone and use it like five fingers, you must practice the method of military training." ”

A teenager blurted out, "Army? ”

Li Hu stood upright, and his voice was short and powerful: "That's right." Let's start with the queue in the army and the method of cultivation, and when you have mastered the essentials, there is a murderous aura in your spirit, let's practice loose hands, practice weapons, and in the future, you can also practice riding and bowing and arrows. ”

Another teenager asked, "What about the future?" Can you fly the eaves and walk the wall? People say that Wang Xiaoqi's master can fly the eaves and walk the wall. Li Hu, can you fly the eaves and walk the wall? ”

Li Hu smiled and said lightly: "Flying eaves and walking on the wall? It looks amazing, but it's just a clever control of the body, going up to the room, jumping around on the beams and walls to avoid the people below, to say that I will also walk on the wall like this, and it is even more powerful than his master, because my essentials are more ingenious than theirs, but the houses in our village are all mud and grass, if you go up, it will be damaged. ”

Finding that the young male generals were suspicious, he said: "For soldiers, you have to learn to hide, what is hiding? It is a collection, the sword is collected in the box, not lightly shown to people, as soon as it is out of the sheath, you will see blood, you have to ask why? That is, if you master a skill and show it to others repeatedly, others will know it, and if you know it, you will be able to prevent it? In the future, when you use it, if you are prevented, you will be a dead man. In the same way, I can't fly the eaves and walk the wall, and I can't jump up and down, show people lightly, and show people everywhere, right? ”

He mobilized the feelings of the people and said eloquently: "The most powerful thing about the real soldiers is not their martial arts and murderous tricks, but their character. These qualities not only lead to victory over the enemy, but also enable people to achieve great deeds and great things. Therefore, raising soldiers secondly, cultivating nature first, martial arts second, self-cultivation first, having good character, being able to persevere, perennial perseverance, how can you not practice martial arts? First of all, we have to develop the first character, answer my words affirmatively, use 'no', deny and say 'no', from now on, when training, I will only let you do it, and I will not tell you why, because there are many essentials, stop and explain, the training will be interrupted, you follow me and do it, listen carefully to the essentials I teach, you can't ask random questions, hold back if you have questions, and ask me later. If you can't do the action well, keep doing it, you can't stop, you can't try to explain, you have to explain that you are not in good health today, and the bug bit your buttocks, so you missed it just now, no one listened, what I want is for you to do it well, do it right, I don't care why you didn't do a good job to shirk, you don't have to explain...... Unless you're a woman. And if I ask you, you can only answer me with 'no' and 'no'. ”

The boys gradually became strict.

They were in the village, in the countryside, just practicing their fists and feet, and they never thought that they would be driven by Li Hu's words, and the atmosphere was solemn and solemn.

Li Hu asked, "Is it clear?" ”

The boys looked up to the sky and shouted, "Got it." ”

Their high-pitched shouts startled the girls who were singing together.

However, Li Hu was not satisfied.

He demanded: "Answer 'No,' like me, No." Clear? ”

The crowd immediately responded with a 'no', which was repeated three or four times because it was not neat and loud enough.

The girl was curious, and they all gathered over.

They pointed and watched, watching Li Hu make up the formation next, explain the essentials of the arrangement, and then train the queue, and when they saw the funny people and funny places, they cheered hard outside.

Yan'er was the happiest, but she turned around and ran home, excitedly telling her sister-in-law and her mother, what Li Hu was doing, she couldn't describe it well, so she said: "Li Hu is possible." He is like a real general, training soldiers one by one, and also asking him to shout 'no', turn his head and turn around, he trains. ”

Yan'er's mother sat in the quilt and talked to Yan'er's sister-in-law.

What can they say, what they say, in addition to the east and west, Li Hu and Yan'er. Yan'er broke in and said this, and ran away again, as if she didn't know that she was tired, Yan'er and her mother waited for her to run away, and said to her sister-in-law: "He said that he had enlisted in the army, but he didn't say whether he had been in the army for a long time, so he really had been in the army...... It's not a short time. My father was a pawn, and when I came back in two or three years, I didn't feel like Li Hu, it was the same as real military training. But if you don't enlist in the army in a day or two, you will enlist in the army at the age of twelve or thirteen? I don't think it's going to be fourteen. But what is he deceiving people? It's just that he is three or five years older than Yan'er, and we don't think he has anything. ”

Yan'er and her sister-in-law hesitated for a while, and suddenly asked cautiously, "Do you think he will be the child of the general's family over there in Dongxia?" ”

Yan'er and her mother shook her head and asked, "If you say this, you can't guarantee it, I don't know if the court knows about it, will it arrest him?" She demanded: "Say no more, no more." If someone asks you, you say that he is reading and has read military books. ”

She sighed, "When you say that, I wonder what is going on. He doesn't look like a liar child, but when he asks about his family and his parents, he spits and vomits, it's not the right way, you say that, it's really possible. Yan'er came back and said that Wang Tingchang asked him to register for the household registration, and I will redeem some food tomorrow, go to find your cousin's relatives, and give him the household registration and leave it in our house. As for you, ask his uncle to write another letter to his brother about this matter. If it's really everyone's child, no matter how young he is, he doesn't lack knowledge, his brother is a broken jar this time, not only sweeping away the family but also owing a lot of debt. He didn't take the people in our village, said that there was no water, and he didn't dare to take it out to sea at once, so he had to raise it for a year and a half to be familiar with the water, and now there is no such condition, but Ah Hu is different, literate, knowledgeable, married Yan'er, that is his brother-in-law, what do you say about eating your own house for a year and a half? You can also help him not. You tell me? ”

What she said about "broken jars and broken boats" actually means "broken kettles and sinking boats".

Yan'er and his sister-in-law nodded.

After a while, Yan'er and her sister-in-law asked, "Do you still let him go to the stone field?" ”

Yan'er and his mother said, "Go." Why don't you let go. No matter how martial arts a person from a foreign country is, he is not a local, he has no relatives and no support, and when our elders go down, do people bully him and Yan'er? Isn't it a good thing to be nice to the young people in the village now? Besides, it's also to support him and see how many days he can do. If people are capable and still endure hardships, then what else is there to say, do we still need to worry about our Yan'er in the future? ”

The two stopped talking.

The night was quiet, and the noise of the scene outside could be transmitted all the way to the house.

Yan'er and her mother shrank into the quilt, and after a while, she suddenly turned over and said happily: "I am happy." I can't sleep a little. ”
