Chapter 15 Planning

Having a pet is indeed a great way for humans to relieve loneliness and boredom in their monotonous lives. At least in Aunt Mei's opinion, with two little tigers, Luo Yun will no longer go out to play noisy, which will also make her worry less about snacks.

Of course, Aunt Mei didn't know that Luo Yun originally hoped to take the two tigers out for a walk one day, how windy it must be. At the beginning, when preparing a nest for the two little tigers, Mu'er was commanded by Luo Yun to become a carpenter again. A small box half a meter square was originally topped, but later it was inconvenient to dismantle. In order to make it easier for the little tiger to climb out on its own in the future, a door was opened on the wall of the box.

I tossed the cage here for a long time and finally finished it, and put some straw on it. Aunt Mei originally found some unused rotten linen cloth and put it in the box, but because the two little guys kept stretching out their claws to pick up Luo Yun's coat. Luo Yun thought that he might have carried them all the way back, and the smell of them on his clothes was heavier, so he felt a sense of attachment. Anyway, it looked like he was almost caught, so Luo Yun simply put the coat in the box. made Aunt Mei unhappy for a while, saying that she was spoiling good things.

As soon as he put the two howling little tigers into the box, Uncle Wu came back. Because the two little tigers were so small, they couldn't give them porridge to drink. So after eating, Uncle Wu went to Uncle Luoyun's house to borrow a ewe. Luo Yun took a small bowl and turned it around the ewe twice, but he didn't do it, but Mu'er was still funny watching it from the side, and took the bowl and squeezed a small bowl neatly. But when the bowl was put into the nest, the two tigers directly knocked over the bowl and did not lick it.

Luo Yun saw that the two little tigers were screaming but couldn't drink milk, he was impatient, patted his head, and thought that the little tiger's tongue couldn't spit out, and he couldn't drink it at all. There was no way, Luo Yun and Mu'er hugged a tiger and came under the ewe. But the ewe didn't know if she smelled the smell of the tiger, and as soon as Luo Yun came over, the old ewe hid directly. Luo Yun was in a hurry, and directly asked Uncle Wu to tie the four legs of the ewe, put it on the ground, and let the ewe bark there, Luo Yun directly put the two little tigers in the arms of the ewe. Sure enough, the two little guys smelled the milky smell, and they rubbed it directly and found a ** in their mouths.

Luo Yun saw that the two little guys were eating happily, but Mu'er looked at the poor ewe and pouted, this is really - 'raising tigers for trouble' has reached this level. Annoyed by the ewe's call, Mu'er went to the cowshed and grabbed the hay and stuffed it into its mouth, and finally shut up the ewe who was forcibly fed.

The family tossed until late to sleep, and Luo Yun also saw Mu'er yawning next to him before realizing that he and Uncle Wu had been busy in the field for a day, and when they came back in the evening, they didn't come back to eat and went up the mountain to find him. Feeling guilty in his heart, Luo Yun persuaded Aunt Mei, who was worried that he would get sick and wanted to keep him to sleep, to go back to the room to rest.

Lying on the bed, listening to the sound of the rain outside the window slowly becoming smaller, Luo Yun crossed his fingers and calculated what time it was. The nest of the two little tigers was next to his bed, and the slight snoring of the feline, accompanied by the night rain in the mountains, and the slow beating of leaves, made him feel extremely peaceful. I feel that today's rash move into the tiger's den is still right after all. At least he told himself at this point that it was good. Rolled over, lying on his side and looking at the two little ones beside the bed. In the dark, only a vague cloud of yellow could be seen, but the other one completely blended into the night.

Being in this kind of deep mountain and old forest, Luo Yun would also wonder if there would be any divine beasts in the deep mountains when he was bored on weekdays. But I didn't expect to enter the mountain once, and I didn't see the legendary white tiger, but I saw a black blue milk tiger that had never been recorded. Thinking of this, Luo Yun couldn't help but smile, it seems that his luck is really good. Thinking that the village will be rich in the future, he took the two tigers to wander around, and when he was interested, he ran to the outside city to pretend to be a gentleman, of course, if he met other hooligans who were competing with him to flirt with beautiful women, it would be simple, just wave his hand to let the two tigers get on, and scare them to death.

Dreaming of these boring happy things, Luo Yun fell asleep in a daze.

The days are short in spring and long in summer. As soon as the beginning of summer in the fourth lunar month passes, the wheat seedlings in the field enter the maturity stage, and the wheat ears are rising day by day. Standing on the mountain, the valley is already full of gold. Li Zhensheng, the patriarch of Lijia Village and Luoyun's second uncle, stood on the slope of the mountain with his old man in his arms, looking at this scene of a bumper harvest, and his heart was infinitely gratified. As a farmer who farms for a living, there is no time to be happier than watching the harvest of a year's hard work.

"The old boys haven't seen each other for almost a month, what are you doing?" Although the old man is old, his eyes are still good, watching a few grandchildren help the adults work in the fields, and the older ones look like strong young men. Especially the children of their brothers: Li Jian is already able to stand alone, his own grandson Li Chenglin's temperament has become more and more stable since the New Year, although Li Kun of the fourth family is older than Chenglin, but he has a temper with his father, and his body strength is not small, but he can't change that playfulness. If the fourth child hadn't been taken care of by his own brother and his sister-in-law helping the village, would his family be like this?

"I met Ah Wu a few days ago, and I heard that Luo Yun picked up two lynx cubs when he entered the mountains last month, and he has been teasing cats at home for a while." Speaking of this, the patriarch, who was becoming more and more old, couldn't help but shake his head. For various reasons, the whole village is very protective of Luo Yun, and his father is the oldest elder in the village. Even after Luo Yun's father and mother died, he said in public that Luo Yun didn't have to worry about farming, and let Su Mei's family take care of everything. Although this did not mean to knock Su Mei and Ah Wu's family and let them take good care of Luo Yun. But now Luo Yun is so unprofessional, it really makes him a little uncomfortable, and he wants to discipline but doesn't know where to start. To say that his sister-in-law, who impressed him regardless of knowledge and cultivation, his appearance and bearing, but he was not ready to educate Luo Yun as a farmer from the beginning. If Luo Yun's body hadn't fallen ill as soon as he left the mountain, Luo Yun would have studied with those old doctors in the county.

"Teasing the cat?" Although the old man frowned when he heard this, he didn't expect his son to think so much. However, his son understands it himself, and when he saw Li Zhensheng's frowning brows after saying this, he guessed his son's thoughts, stroked his gray beard, and said disapprerovitically: "Hehe, tease the cat, just tease the cat, Luo Yun, this kid has liked these animals in the mountains since he was a child, and you don't need to worry about it." From the quyuan plow, the paddy field, and the hanging tower, you can see that this child and his mother have the same temperament, and every move has their own considerations. If he likes to play, let him go to the field to harvest wheat. If you want, Su Mei's girl will have to find you to slap the table. When the old man said this, he couldn't help but think of this little girl who used to make the whole village think about it, and now she is also a child, and time flies so fast: "Don't talk about this, the field that Luo Yun has been making for so long, do you have an idea?" ”

"Dad, I don't know what to do. Nada...... The whole village has seen the benefits, but they really have to follow it...... Everyone is also undecided. I used to wonder if I would wait until the wheat harvest was over and let everyone try to make all the paddy fields in the village first. ”

The old man couldn't help but sigh secretly when he looked at his son's hesitant appearance, I really don't know if he has read a few books like this. The son is now speaking and doing things safely, but he is not at all like a man in the mountains, he is less heroic and refreshing. It's good to deal with the servants in the yamen with such a personality, but when I return to the village, I'm really afraid that he won't be able to suppress this group of barbaric mountain men. It turned out that the eldest was in charge of the village, the son was dealing with the officials, the eldest daughter-in-law was helping to come up with ideas, and several brothers were helping the village, and Lijiazhai was really thriving for a few years. Now that the eldest is gone, his two sons, the third brother is not angry, and he thinks about what to do all day long to make money. Earn! Earn! I don't want any land, who can afford to be a cheap businessman with no roots and no evidence!

Thinking of his restless son, the old man was no longer in the mood to see the scene, and walked down the mountain road first with a movement of his crutches. As soon as Li Zhensheng saw the old man leaving, he hurriedly put away his thoughts and followed.

"About the paddy field, you might as well find an excuse to talk to Luo Yun when you have time. Since he has come up with a way to come up with a hanging tower, let him think about it for the village again, and it can be regarded as his contribution to the village."

"Yes, Dad. I see, I'll go after a while. Nodding, the patriarch also felt that the bell had to be tied to the bell, and it was indeed the best choice to ask Luo Yun. Look at the field, and suddenly think of something again: "That's right, Dad." The third ......"

The old man was thinking about him, and frowned when he heard this: "This is going to harvest wheat, what kind of moth is he going to produce?" ”

Seeing that the old man reacted so much, as the patriarch, he also sweated for his younger brother, and felt that he was a little suspenseful about asking himself this time: "Zhencai, he didn't say anything, he just wanted to follow me when he paid for food this year, I think his temperament is also quite suitable for dealing with the officials, and I also want him to have more knowledge, so I agreed."

When the old man heard this, he intuitively felt that his son's idea would not be so simple, but the mountain people who didn't have so many hearts didn't come up with the crookedness in it. He frowned and nodded, which was a kind of agreement. Immediately, I suddenly remembered that when Luo Yun came to see him, the two sons sat on the side for a while. I remember that Luo Yun looked at the third child with a very playful look at him at that time, as if there was something funny, and he was distracted when he talked to himself.

"After the wheat is harvested, you go to find Luo Yun, ask him if he has anything you want, and buy it back for him from the county by the way." Seeing that his son nodded in agreement, he was worried that his son didn't understand what he meant, so he added: "You mention the matter of the third child to him casually." ”

After the old man finished speaking, he ignored his son's inexplicable appearance and continued to walk. Li Zhensheng was stunned for a long time, and he still didn't understand what was the use of telling Luo Yun about this. No matter how bad the third child is, he is also Luo Yun's elder, and it is useless for him to be a brother, and he can still manage his uncle as a junior?

Luo Yun, who was lying on a recliner leisurely in his backyard, held a more than one-month-old and extraordinarily active little tiger in both hands, squinting at Xiao Huang rolling on the ground, with mud on his body, and he had to bathe it again at night. It's still good to be a little black, and you can't see it if it's dirty. was distracted, and his eyes turned from the tiger to Zhang Song, a tall man with a shrunk of one meter nine, standing in front of him and talking to him in a low voice.

Thinking about the question Zhang Song just said, Luo Yun alternately stroked the soft fur like the little black satin in his arms with his two hands, and turned his mind to feel that the original plan was probably going to be advanced. Of course, Luo Yun didn't expect that his second grandfather and second uncle were already planning to ask him to help solve the problem. And Luo Yun's second grandfather probably didn't expect that the question he thought he wasn't in a hurry had been put on the table here by Luo Yun.

Luo Yun has been bored at home for a month, and with a 'pet' to accompany him, he is in a happy mood, and he pays more attention to the comfort of life. Like the chaise longue he was lying on now, though not the kind of curved bottom that could shake. But the mat made of green bamboo is still very comfortable to lie down like this. In addition, there is a high table for eating and a high stool with armrests. There are also toothbrushes that Aunt Mei likes very much, as well as brushes with various functions. Of course, these woodworking skills are all made by Zhang's carpenter's family, and Father Zhang sent Luo Yun several thank-you gifts for this, but they were directly blocked by Aunt Mei.

Aunt Mei thinks that how can her young master accept a carpenter's gift from a teacher. But Father Zhang, who was blocked back, thought that he was being rude, so he went back to discuss it with his two sons, prepared a heavy gift, and directly approached Uncle Wu to discuss that he wanted to recognize the Luoyun family as the head of the family from the beginning. Uncle Wu listened to Daddy Zhang's words at that time and thought that there was something wrong with his ears, although he said that Daddy Zhang's family was originally a tenant of the Li family, and it was really the land of the Luoyun family. But the meaning of what Daddy Zhang said about recognizing the master's family has changed, which is tantamount to selling himself to the Luoyun family as a slave. Of course, if you change to some wealthy families, skilled craftsmen like Daddy Zhang are supported by the master's family. When they sell their output, they have to pay a portion of the profits to the Lord's house.

After Uncle Wu and Aunt Mei discussed, Luo Yun was officially notified of the matter. Luo Yun pondered for a long time the relationship between the carpenter worker and the farmer, and then recalled the relationship between the old carpenter who liked to make things to beat him and the person who hired the old man to beat him. Well, it's too complicated to say, I don't know why every time I see Carpenter Zhang's family, I think of that old man. But none of this has anything to do with what's in front of you. Luo Yun simply felt that instead of letting Daddy Zhang's family do business in the future and then be hired by others, it was better to take the initiative to be the head of the family, and if someone really coveted these things in the future, it would be convenient for him to come forward to block it. The provincial one was invited by others to beat himself like that old man. Is this called 'first strike'?

In short, the result was that Luo Yun asked Aunt Mei to cook a table of dishes and invited Daddy Zhang's family to a meal. didn't ask Daddy Zhang to sign any master-servant contract, so he made a verbal agreement and discussed the profit sharing of the products made by Daddy Zhang's family in the future. However, Luo Yun planned to hand over the sale of things to the third uncle who wanted to do business, so he set the price very carefully.

It's just that I didn't expect that I had just finished discussing with Daddy Zhang two days ago, and today Zhang Song came to him, saying that the third uncle had found his house and wanted to discuss the sale of things such as the Quyuan plow and the hanging tower. Because Luo Yun didn't deliberately publicize it, Daddy Zhang's family has always been closer to Luo Yun's family recently, so people in the village don't know that Daddy Zhang actually recognized the main family. After Luo Yun's third uncle found Zhang's father, the Zhang family told him about it. Because Luo Yun didn't say that the Zhang family was originally going to sell these things by himself, but now that Luo Yun's third uncle jumped out, the Zhang family didn't know what Luo Yun meant, so they immediately asked Zhang Song to come over and ask for instructions.

I have to say that the current Luo Yun is really a bit of a landlord's young master's posture, and the class concept is also deeply rooted in the hearts of the ancients, Zhang Song is not like he used to only verbally call 'young master', and now he maintains respect for Luo Yun in every move. That's why we have the current restraint look.

"The third uncle has me to discuss, so that Daddy Zhang doesn't have to bother, and he can take the time to do as many samples as possible. Hehe, don't hide it from Brother Zhang, when Daddy Zhang told me that he wanted to sell it, I wanted to find the third uncle to cooperate. I don't understand business, Brother Zhang shouldn't understand the twists and turns of businessmen, since the third uncle has always liked to buy and sell, I think his temperament is also flexible and thoughtful, and professional things are done by professional people. Daddy Zhang and Brother Zhang's handiwork are first-class, so they concentrate on doing their own craft; Letting someone else sell it for you and give you the money directly, and haggling with those treacherous and cunning merchants is the thing I hate the most, so let people like this do it. When Luo Yun talked about the merchant bargaining, he didn't know what picture suddenly appeared in his mind, and he stopped touching Xiao Hei's hand. Then he shook his head again, as if to shake those unpleasant memories out of his mind.

Zhang Song thought about the limited number of times he went out to buy things, and felt that what Luo Yun said was right: "Okay, then it's troublesome young master, I'll tell my father when I go back." ”

"Well, I heard Uncle Wu say that the wheat harvest is about to begin. In any case, the grain is harvested first, and these things can be done slowly, and the farm work cannot be delayed. Seeing Zhang Song nodding in agreement, he retreated. Luo Yun pushed Xiao You, who was lying on his lap and was almost asleep, up. Xiao You is the name given by Luo Yun casually, but it has no special significance, so it was casually used on the black blue tiger, and the name of the other little tiger was chosen by Mu Er as Zhenyue.

Speaking of this Mu'er's name, it is still Luo Yun's little abacus. If he really wants to take care of the two tigers by himself, it will definitely not take long for him to starve to death, but Aunt Mei has no choice but to stay away from the two little tigers and put on a posture of ignoring it, so Luo Yun can only ask Mu'er to help. If you want to fight tigers and kill tigers, this is Mu'er's long-standing wish, but let him raise a tiger...... Xiao Mu'er really never dared to think about it.

It was Luo Yun who tempted Mu'er and said to Mu'er: "You imagine that a tiger you raised, a tiger under your command, in the future, when the tiger grows up, you will go hunting, and everyone else will bring a hunting dog or something, and you will take a tiger." What's that concept? If someone else encounters a wolf, a leopard, or something, there is still danger, and you, you don't need to do it at all, your tiger will help you solve it. What prey do you not have that way to hit? It's so easy to think about headhunting bears. ”

Mu'er, who was stunned by Luo Yun, subconsciously nodded and agreed in the mighty fantasy of holding a bow and arrows and following a tiger next to her in a party. Of course, Mu'er regretted it a little the next day, but what Mu'er didn't expect was that the scene he fantasized about was also what Luo Yun wanted to achieve, and it really became a reality a few years later.
