At night, Tie Yong and Wang were talking in the bed.

"Little lamb... Is the Basilisk thing real? Wang asked.

"Eight/nine is not far from ten."

"So what are we going to do? Otherwise, don't let the lamb look for it... It's right. ”

"Let's see."

"What else are you looking at, it's a youkai, just in case..."

"Probably not, if the snake demon eats people, the lamb and the cow can't wait for me to save it, since the lamb has been fine, the snake demon is probably really a good monster."

"Whether it's good or bad, it's also a monster, no, I can't let the lamb go to that monster anymore."

"Foolish, is this something you can stop? That's a monster, and monsters have demon laws, once they provoke it, who can stop it? ”

“... Woooooooooo

"It's okay, didn't I say it all, if the snake demon really wants to eat people, it will eat it a long time ago, and it won't wait until now, let's relax and let the little sheep find it, and we'll see it after a while."

Zhang Xiaoyang didn't know what her uncle and aunt were worried about, she woke up early in the morning, washed up, and went out with Zhang Niuniu, she was going to play with the snake monster.

After a few times, Tie Yong had turned a blind eye to this matter, and even the Wang family, who was originally very worried, no longer said anything, in addition to Zhang Xiaoyang coming back safely every time, the most important thing was that Zhang Xiaoyang would bring back some wild things every time, including frogs, fish, and from time to time he would bring back a rabbit or pheasant.

The Han Dynasty is now a sign of trouble, the court officials are corrupt / defeated, the taxes are extremely heavy, such as Tiejiabao in this place, the annual grain tax is even as high as sixty to seventy percent, hard work to plant a year's fields, the rest of the grain will be enough to make up, if this is not bad, the key is that the old men of Qingping County will come from time to time to fight the autumn wind, one by one Tiejiabao as fat, have to bite a few bites.

In addition to farming, hunting in the mountains is also one of the important items of the Tiejiabao people, but now there are fewer and fewer wild animals on the periphery of the mountains, and the harvest of prey is getting less and less, resulting in the outside of Tiejiabao looking bright, but the inside is like Wang Xiaoer's New Year, and the year is not as good as the year.

However, the people of Tiejiabao have not recruited children, the general environment is like this, within the jurisdiction of hundreds of miles in the entire Qingping County, bandits are rampant, and the officials in Qingping County have no place to exploit them, so they can only go to Tiejiabao with a knife, because you have food and silver in Tiejiabao, who will you exploit if you don't exploit you?

In such an environment, it has become more and more difficult for Tie Yong's family to raise three small ones, and the game that they could often eat in the past has gradually become precious, and the things that Zhang Xiaoyang brings back every day are like charcoal in the snow, which greatly relieves the pressure of Tie Yong's family.

It is said that he has short hands and a soft mouth, and his family can now have meat to eat every day, all thanks to the snake demon, Liu Dalu has not done anything bad, what else can Tie Yong say? I can only turn a blind eye.

Liu Dalu didn't know what Tie Yong's family was thinking, but he knew that Tie Yong's attitude had changed, because there was another little kid who came to play with him today, this is Tie Ge, Tie Yong's baby.

Tie Ge is only six years old, he looks chubby, quite festive, his face is full of collagen, this fat boy still has a runny nose, and he sucks twice from time to time, looking a little silly.

Zhang Xiaoyang, as the head of the eldest sister, is happy to share her experience with others, she hugged Liu Dalu's head and shook it a few times, "Brother, look, the snake monster is very good, you don't have to be afraid of him, come here, come and touch the snake monster, you and the snake monster will be friends in the future." ”

Liu Dalu was speechless, and let Zhang Xiaoyang 'torture' him, I have to say that this kind of 'torture' has a wonderful effect, and after the fat boy Tie Ge came up and touched Liu Dalu a few times, he grinned with a smile, and soon he was not afraid of Liu Dalu.

"Basilisk, let's go, take my brother to our secret base today." Zhang Xiaoyang has the potential to be the head of the eldest sister, and gives orders to Liu Dalu.

The secret base is in the lower reaches of the Xiaoqing River, not far from Liu Dalu's temporary residence, where there is a cliff in the corner, forming a cave, the outside of the hole is a dense bush, there are a few flat bluestone slabs in the hole, Zhang Xiaoyang and Liu Dalu struggled for several days, cleaned up a piece inside, and now it is used as a secret base to hatch bird eggs.

These bird eggs were found by Liu Dalu, Zhang Xiaoyang was whimsical, saying that he wanted to hatch the birds, Liu Dalu went with her, and Zhang Xiaoyang was happy.

Liu Dalu first caught a fish in the river and handed it to Zhang Xiaoyang, Zhang Xiaoyang would roast the fish, this is Liu Dalu's food, he still likes to eat cooked food, usually eat once every three or four days.

After roasting the fish for Liu Dalu, Zhang Xiaoyu took Tie Ge to see her baby, these so-called treasures are actually some fun things, such as strange-shaped stones, such as some shells, and Zhang Xiaoyang's own flower baskets, etc., Zhang Niuniu and Tie Ge are both young, pure in mind, and the most playful time, a worm can play for a long time without getting tired, not to mention Zhang Xiaoyang's baby, two little fart children screamed, Zhang Xiaoyang smiled happily.

"Fourth uncle, why are you here, sit down."

Tie Yong's daughter-in-law, Wang, hurriedly brought a small stool from the house, let the fourth uncle sit down, went to the house to bring a bowl of water, and then stood on the side, uneasy.

The identity of these four uncles is not simple, he is the patriarch of the Tie family, the patriarch of Tie Yong, and the current Li Zheng of Tiejia Village.

"Fourth uncle, are you looking for Xiaoyong? I'm going to..."

"Tie Yong's daughter-in-law, you don't have to be busy, I have already let him know." The fourth uncle looked at the yard, looked at the pickled salted fish hanging on the edge of the yard, smashed his mouth, but didn't say anything.

Wang's heart sank, but he didn't dare to speak.

After a short time, Tie Yong hurried back, his face was full of sweat, first glanced at Wang, Wang glanced at him, looked at the salted fish hanging, Tie Yong was the same as Wang, his heart sank, but he smiled and said: "Fourth uncle, why are you here?" ”

"I have something to say to you." The fourth uncle said slowly: "Xiao Jiu, you can also sit." "Tie Yong is the ninth in his generation.

The Wang family moved another small stool for Tie Yong, and Tie Yong sat honestly in front of the fourth uncle.

"Where's your niece?"

"It's out." Tie Yong said in a muffled voice.

"You're looking for the snake demon, aren't you?"

Tie Yong raised his head suddenly, and immediately lowered his head: "... Be. ”

"Xiao Jiu, what do you think of this snake demon?"

"Huh?"

"Ah what, what do you think?"

"Xiao Jiu thinks it.... The snake demon estimated that he was really a good person. ”

"Is it good? Also, your family eats big fish and meat every day..."

"Fourth Uncle..."

"Okay, I'm not here to say anything, that snake demon, well, that snake demon, you don't have to worry about it."

Wu Yong didn't quite understand the meaning of his words, and the four masters had already gotten up and walked out.

The fourth uncle is the patriarch of the Tie family, living in the ancestral house of the Tie family, and when he returned to the house, the fourth uncle looked at the official document on the table, and suddenly scolded: "These dogs." ”

The gist of the official document is that bandits are rampant, but the county is lax, as a member of Qingping County, Tiejiabao has to donate some silver to support the bandits.

And this is the second time this year, and the silver has been donated, but there are no fewer bandits, and there are more ...
