Verse 170 The old things are brought up again
Li Hu rode a horse, walked aimlessly along the bank of the Wuding River, raised his eyes to look at the opposite bank, there was no more fireworks, I don't know whether it was a domestic duck or a wild duck, swimming in the water in the crops, frolicking happily. Yang Ling just followed, seeing that he was about to cross the county line, he finally felt relieved, and said, "Go back." Seeing that the water has become a pan area, and it is impossible to sail, Gao Xianbing will not be able to come. also told the county commander to give him a shout, so as not to make him afraid. The two men took the reins, turned around and walked back, and the shade was like a cloud, which was originally a village, located on the riverside, and had the fertilizer of paddy fields, but now it was like floating in the water, and only half a layer remained...... There was a layer of black crows on the roof of the house.
Li Hu muttered, "Brother." The water has not been completely flooded, so where will the people of this village go back? Yang Linggang sighed and said, "Then who knows?" Maybe it's the Northern Plains. What Gao Xianbing is referring to is the Northern Plains, and the Northern Plains will open the city for them? Those people in the government are more evil than Gao Xianren, and Gao Xianbing's murder and plundering are not necessarily a killing, but as soon as this water is released, it is too clear. β
Li Hu thought for a while and said, "Can the river embankment be blocked?" If it is blocked, is it not that the sun will be plugged for some time, and as soon as the ground is dry, people will be able to come back? β
Yang Linggang asked rhetorically: "Who can block it." This water, is it a small ditch? β
He persuaded Li Hu and said: "Don't think about it, it's not something we can block, the opening of the government will block the road of Gao Xianren, if you run to block the water, can the government not arrest you?" People say that the soldiers who defend the overlord county in the north will never surrender when they are about to die, and as soon as the government tugs war, they are desperate in their hearts, so they surrender to Gao Xian. Tell me? Drowning yourself, how did you get born in these years? Whoever gives the order, heaven will always take him away. β
Li Hu dismounted and rushed to the river, the river, before it flooded, quietly flowed in front of him, and sometimes a fish would appear, pluck it, and then plunge into the water.
Li Hu asked rhetorically: "Can we build a reservoir upstream and block a stone gate?" Someday, these fields will still have to be planted. β
Yang Linggang glanced at him and whispered, "Ah Hu." Is that what we can fix? If you want to repair, the county lord said that you can only do it, and he heard that Gao Xian was coming, and the family couldn't escape, so you asked him to repair the gate water? How can you talk to him? People are glad that this water stopped Gao Xianbing. β
Li Hu's eyes were filled with tears, and he said to himself: "These people are really bitter. It's freezing cold, where can I go? β
He turned over and got on his horse and walked with Yang Linggang all the way again.
The two of them walked faster and faster, faster and faster, and gradually galloped like a fly.
Although it is a pity to be in this water, Li Hu also has a trace of luck, if Gao Xianren really kills Yi County, what will he do? Lead the villagers to fight hard with Gao Xianren? Expose your identity and repair the book to Long Liushu's aunt? Help whom? Gao Xian people must not be able to help, but it is difficult to fight with them, Gao Xian is a friend, Jingkang is the enemy who invades the Northern Plain, and if you don't fight Gao Xian, this Yi County will also be destroyed......
Yes. It's a blessing.
As soon as the water separated, the matter came to an end.
He wrote another letter to Abba, hoping that Abba could tell him what position he should hold, what should he do, if the water recedes and the two countries will still fight, what should he and all the Dongxia people in the territory do? But he also knows that far water can't quench his thirst, and Abba is so far away, can he tell him what to do? This hurdle, this position, and this proposition must be taken by oneself.
Back in the county seat, the county already has its own stone sales office, Li Duocai said that he was purchasing grain and meat, and he was waiting for Li Hu inside.
Li Hu saw the county order come back.
Li Duocai got the opportunity and immediately told SΓΉ: "There is a saying in the country that the news they received is that the two do not help each other. If they beat them, don't provoke us Dongxia people. They don't dare to fight on both sides and provoke a third, right? Anyway, if our people are in the way, the general envoy of Beizhou will immediately come to the door to warn them and warn them. I'm afraid that you will be impulsive in your heart, go up and fight with Gao Xianren, and tell you sΓΉ. β
Li Hu didn't say anything.
Anyway, he felt that the two were too indifferent, and the war was hot, who was not affected?
But he didn't have too clear thoughts for a while, and recalled the floodplain on the other side of the river, and he couldn't eat until someone from the house came to call, so he got up and rode back to the White River. The land bought in Chenzhai before, except for the one that Yang Yalang took away, the other land, the scholars all intend to entrust him to take care of it, some said okay, go back just to talk to the family again, but it is really Sai Wen's loss of the horse, he knows whether it is a blessing, he lost Wen Kui, less than 300 acres, but because of the banquet, he deed with many people, and in turn out of thin air more than five or six hundred acres, and now almost all the land from Chen Zhai is concentrated in his hands. The family sent someone to call him, and it was Wang Wenjiao who sent someone to send the entrustment document and asked him to go back.
He didn't stop and arrived at the White River.
Before he arrived at Yang Village, Dog Chestnut slipped out to pick him up and told him, "Don't go back, waiting for the people who rent the land to be at home." They all want to plant your land. This time you go back, they will block you. Not enough land to rent at all? As soon as we say that we want to plant, we have to follow our method, and we all say that we will ...... well."
Li Hu muttered: "Not enough land to plant? β
His mind was on the other side of the river in an instant.
How many good fields are soaking in the water.
It's just a thought, fleeting.
Back to reality, Li Hu asked Yang Li: "Is there very little land in the county?" β
Yang Li shook his head and said distressedly, "What's missing." We charge less rent. There are not enough tenants of many rich people, and Yang Linggong's family is still pulling people everywhere to farm the land. I've heard that they're going to sue you together. sue you for robbing tenants, and ask Chen Zhai not to give you land. β
Li Hu did not speak.
But he was thinking about whether the valleys suitable for cultivation could be cultivated at his own expense along the White River to the mountains.
When I entered the village, a lot of people came up. Some are embarrassed to speak, hugging their sleeves from afar to say hello, hunched over to speak, and some find some relationships, close relations, easy to talk, can ensure that they farm well, and those who owe Lao Yang's family affection simply kneel down to meet ...... This made Li Hu very uncomfortable, and before he got home, he hurriedly said to Yang Li: "This is not a way." You go to someone and write down the amount they want to rent. Regardless of whether there is enough land, find someone to write it down, and see how much you can rent with your family's labor. β
When he entered the house, a servant of Wang Wenjiao's family sent a letter and a letter of entrustment, but the person had not left.
Li Hu asked him to wait for a while, hurriedly wrote a letter back to Wang Wenjiao, and told him that he would go to Baojun soon, and then get together to eat and talk.
The servants who sent Wang Wenjiao's family away, but someone came again. As soon as people said it, Li Hu muttered.
Fan Yong's entrustment to him to take care of the land arrived a day earlier, if it wasn't Fan Yong, who would it be? Could it be Xiong Zun? Walking out with Yang Yanyan, who was muttering endlessly, there was a carriage parked at the entrance of the village, a man and a woman walking in front, and a few people behind were still riding horses, looking like their guards.
The man walked.
The man is seventeen or eighteen years old, with a delicate appearance, a little thin powder, embroidered clothes and long belts, if he is not tall, with a hint of heroic coolness, Li Hu almost thought he was a woman. Next to the man stood a girl, with a butterfly jacket on her top, a pure white rabbit fur rolling on the side, a light waist bundle, a group of jade coats underneath, and on her head, she was swaying with Yuncui, her whole body was delicate like a boneless willow, holding the young man's arm and leaning on him.
No matter what kind of heaven and earth they set up, Li Hu couldn't guess who it was, he looked at them in a daze, stared at them, and guessed who it would be, and he couldn't guess it.
Yang Yanyan stared at the woman's outfit jealously, and whispered behind Li Hu, "We still have silk at home." I'm going to wear that kind of skirt too. β
Li Hu took the initiative to see it.
The boy coughed, and the woman immediately said, "My grandfather asked me to bring you a letter." β
Li Hu asked rhetorically: "Your grandfather?" β
The boy replied, "Yes." My grandfather said that he was worried about you, and it happened that we came to Baojun to have a look, so he wrote a letter and asked us to send it to you. β
Li Hu wondered.
The young man took out a letter and handed it over with both hands, but he looked Li Hu up and down.
The woman next to her was unrelenting, and shook the young man's arm angrily, and her body swayed like a willow swing in the wind, which made Li Hu's eyes dazzled.
She smiled, as if frowning, her lips pursed slightly, but she said: "A young man from a rich family, how can you recognize my grandfather and his old man?" β
The boy coughed again, and she was silent.
Li Hu got the letter and found that it was sealed, took it out and shook it, and immediately knew who it was, and was surprised: "You two are grandpa's grandchildren?" β
He burst out laughing.
Extremely bold, he leaned into the girl's face and asked, "Sister." You're not that little girl. I was reading with my grandfather by the river, and I went to the river, and I saw a pony on the other side of the river, and said that I was going to ride home, and you laughed at me. Then you endorse it, and I will follow it, and you don't want to. Grandpa hugged me, and you followed him to hit me and pinch my legs? β
The girl was stunned for a moment, and quickly turned her head to look at the young man.
The young man turned his face and asked the girl, "You seem to have told you that when you were a child?" β
Speaking of this, he smiled and pointed at the girl: "My sister hasn't remembered it yet." It turns out that that flowery-faced little kid back then was you. I was clamoring to ride a horse and cross the river to go home, holding back tears for a while, and tears for a while. β
Li Hu stretched out his hand to him and made an invitation.
The boy strode away.
The girl walked to Li Hu's side and gave Li Hu a foxy look, Yang Yanyan couldn't help it, raised it back, "snorted", rolled her eyes at Li Hu, and chased after the girl.
Li Hu was about to talk to someone again, but Yang Yanyan took him back and whispered, "Don't talk to her." She's seducing you. β
Li Hu was stunned for a moment.
Yang Yanyan was suddenly unhappy, pinched him and said, "I saw a beautiful woman, look at your bear-like appearance." I tell you, if I wore her dress, it would look good. β
Li Hu didn't dare to respond, and then said, "This is my relative." Relatives. Seen it when I was a child. At this point, I read the letter as I walked.
Read the letter.
And he was moved.
Tian Yanfeng wrote to him, telling him not to be rash, although Gao Xian committed the border first, "not for justice", but the Jingkang government burst the embankment, and also lost justice, I was afraid that Li Hu would be difficult to distinguish between right and wrong, and he didn't know how to do it well, so he wrote a letter...... Don't help each other? Not really. If you still want to help others, who will you help? Tian Yanfeng said: "There is no righteous war in the Spring and Autumn Period, there is a confrontation in the year, and those who protect Shuli are also husbands." β
That's exactly what he wants.
Li Hu's heart was hot and folded the letter.
