When he entered the house, Yingkang saw that there were several people in this room, including men and women, old and young.

"These are my family, don't see them." Seeing this, the middle-aged man said to Ying Kang, "Sit down." ”

After Ying Kang and Zhao Boyu sat down, the middle-aged man said to Ying Kang: "It's so late, you haven't eaten yet, why don't you eat together." ”

Ying Kang glanced at Zhao Boyu beside him, and then said to the prime man: "Then there will be labor." ”

After listening to Yingkang's words, the middle-aged man said to the woman beside him: "You go and prepare a meal for the two of you, and we will eat something together." ”

"No---" The woman obediently walked to the corner of the room. Yingkang saw that there was a stove where the family cooked.

After a while, the woman prepared the meal, a few very simple dishes, all of which were wild vegetables that people in the mountains often eat. Of course, after all, it was an outsider, and the woman also prepared some meat.

"Go and bring the old wine I prepared, I want to have a few sips with the two officials." Since there is meat and vegetables, the middle-aged man is also interested and commands the woman.

The woman reluctantly glanced at the man, and seemed to be on guard against Yingkang and Zhao Boyu.

"Go! Grinding and rubbing something. Seeing this, the middle-aged man said sharply to the woman.

From these few simple words, Yingkang can see that the man in front of him is a very individual, and he is also a relatively domineering person.

Seeing this, the woman hurried down to prepare wine for a few people.

Although it was spring, the night in the mountains was still quite cold, and when they heard that the man had prepared wine, Yingkang and Zhao Boyu were of course happy.

After the woman brought the wine, the man glanced at the family members in the room and said to them, "You all go back to sleep, and I will talk to the two officials." ”

Now that the man had spoken, the woman had no choice but to take the children to the next room to rest.

At this time, there were only three people left in the hut: Yingkang, Zhao Boyu and the prime of life.

The man picked up the wine bottle and said to Yingkang and Zhao Boyu: "The life of the people in the mountains is simple, coarse tea and light food, don't be surprised!" ”

Seeing this, Ying Kang hurriedly replied: "There, there, we have just arrived, disturbing the peace of your place, I hope you will forgive me!" ”

The man saw that Yingkang was very clear about the affairs of the Central Plains officialdom, and the little precaution he had was completely dispelled.

So he picked up the wine bottle and said to Yingkang: "It's cold at night, come and come, drink wine to warm up." ”

"Then I'll be respectful and obey my fate." So Yingkang and Zhao Boyu picked up the wine bottle and drank it dry with the man.

After drinking, the people let go, so Yingkang asked: "May I ask the eldest brother, I don't know which country's territory this belongs to?" ”

"This is said to be the boundary of the scattered country, but you also know that the current world is not peaceful, Fengrong has been attacking the south for many years, so this has become the place where Rongdi and the scattered country meet." The man said.

Scattered countries?

As soon as he heard that this was the boundary of the scattered country, Ying Kang glanced at Zhao Boyu proudly again, "Look at what I said, this is really the boundary of the scattered country." ”

"Listen to the meaning of the eldest brother, this was originally a place of scattered countries, how could it become a border zone again? Then I want to ask, didn't it mean that Lord Yin Jifu sent troops to sweep Rong Di north and drove all Rong Di to the north of Longshan, why do you still say that this is the border between Sanguo and Rong Di? In fact, Ying Kang knew what was going on, but he still wanted to get the latest news from the mouth of this scattered people.

"Well---, having said that, you also know that this Rong Di is a nomad, and if you drive it away today, they will come here on horseback tomorrow. How can it be so simple when legs grow on other people's bodies? There was a clear hint of complaint in the man's words.

"So Rong Di has been here recently?" Ying Kang asked tentatively.

"Here, just a few days ago, there were a few Feng Rong's scouts peeking on the mountain."

"Huh?"

Hearing the man's words, Ying Kang and Zhao Boyu couldn't help but look at each other in surprise, "You said Feng Rong came here a few days ago?" The Qin people did not win the battle with Feng Rong. How dare they continue to come here? ”

"The Qin people still dare to fight with Feng Rong? Don't you want to die? As soon as the man heard this, he immediately said mockingly, "Qin people, you're talking about the Qin people of Inuqiu, right?" They are too weak to be Rong Di's opponent at all. You say they are fighting with Feng Rong, why don't I believe it? ”

It seems that the news in the mountains is closed, and the people here don't even know a little bit of news about such a major event as the battle between the Qin people and Fengrong Longshan last year.

Ying Kang was somewhat disappointed, and then asked, "Since Feng Rong has sent someone to peep here, you didn't report such an important matter to the government?" ”

"Report? Of course I did! ”

"What does the government say?"

"What else can the government say, after so many years, Sanguo has always failed in the battle with Rong Di, and he has long been tired of hearing it, and it is in vain to say it. They told me they knew, told me to be more careful, and there was no more news. The man said angrily.

"Oh, so the government doesn't care about your business?" Ying Kang continued to ask.

"Hey---, what's the matter? You don't even look at it, it turns out that there are quite a lot of people here, and due to Rong Di's continuous southward migration over the years, the people here have no choice but to move south, and now there is only one of us left here. ”

There was only such a family left in the huge place, and Yingkang couldn't help but secretly regret it.

What a place!

Located in the vicinity of Guanzhong, the land is fertile, and it is much closer to the royal family.

If the Qin people had such a place, would they still need to continue to stay in the place where the Dog Hill made enemies on all sides?

"In that case, why don't you move south like others, big brother?"

"It's not that I don't want to relocate, it's just that this relocation is something you can relocate if you want to? There are a lot of canals in here! The man was a little dissatisfied with Yingkang and the others.

"Canals, canal

"Hey---, it seems that you officials are really stupid or pretending to be stupid. Relocation of mountain people? If you don't give those officials a little benefit, can they give you a good place? In order to be able to get a good place by Weishui, many people even sent their wives and children to those officials. ”

"The officials of the scattered country are actually such people?" Ying Kang looked at the man in surprise.

"Isn't it? I just don't give people any benefits, and what is the result? Those officials and masters want to divide our family to the side of the mountain at the foot of the Qinling Mountains. Tell me where there is no arable land where the butt is bigger, how can I live there? So I got angry and quarreled with others, and finally I was beaten up by those dogs. Since then, people have not even given me a place on the side of the mountain. The more the man spoke, the more angry he became.

Listening to the man's words, Ying Kang secretly felt a little happy in his heart, as for why he felt like this, Ying Kang himself couldn't say.

As he spoke, he drank and the time passed little by little, until the oil ran out, the lamp dried up, and the moonlight was slanting in the west.
