The new cottage has long been built, and it is still a log cabin due to material constraints. The number and size are the same as before, and there are also ancestral halls.

It's just that after the cottagers returned one after another, many wooden houses were vacated. Old Man Yang, Pang Lao and Jin Lao were the last three to come back.

Wen Cheng and Cui Mingfu, as well as the death squad they led, none of them returned in the end. Feng Yu also lost from more than 200 people to about 130.

lost a group of the youngest blood, of course, the so-called young are also middle-aged. The rest are all old people who are close to their sixtieth birthdays.

Everyone was very tacitly silent about this battle, and moved into the new cottage as usual. It's just that the atmosphere is always dull, and the little waiter and the little things don't have the laughter and laughter they used to have.

Xingzhen practiced boxing more attentively, although the palms were tattered, he still insisted on getting up early every day to practice boxing. And earlier than before, it was dark and the little figure moved on the newly erected stake.

Occasionally, a woman can be heard crying, and there are only two adult women in the cottage. Crying naturally is Xiliu and Bu Yuru.

Time passed quietly in the dreary, and yesterday seemed to have not happened, but it was deeply imprinted in the hearts of everyone in Feng Yu.

The night was vaguely breezy and the wind was blowing, and Xingzhen, who was practicing boxing, smelled the familiar smell of smoke. The boy immediately stopped his movements and found the old man in rags.

Jumped off the fist pile and ran to the side, holding Old Man Yang's arm: "Senior Yang, your injuries have not healed, why don't you rest for a while." ”

The old man picked up the cigarette pouch and pot full of chopping cracks and took a hard breath: "Don't get in the way, don't get in the way, the loess doesn't go past the neck, it's a matter of one day earlier and one day later." ”

Xing Zhen advised: "You are not old enough to smoke less, and you will smoke again when you are fully recovered." “

Old man Yang smiled dryly: "** The illness can't be changed, you little baby, why are there so many words today." ”

The two had already walked into the wooden stake, and Xing Zhen helped Old Man Yang find a clean wooden stake, took off his coat and put it on the stake, and let Old Yang sit down for the time being. Then I found one nearby, cleaned it and sat on it at random.

"Elder Yang, during the past two years, I have recognized the cottage and found that every senior is like a relative. I don't know what my grandfather and grandfather are like, but after seeing you, it's like seeing my grandfather and grandfather. “

Old man Yang smiled deeply: "Okay, good, these words are very good." The man was happy and smoked the pouch more often.

Xing Zhen looked at the potholed cigarette pouch pole and said, "Okay, in the future, I will call you Yangye, Ye, Pang Ye, Ye Jin, Ye." Wait for the next time I go to Shanliang County, I will buy you a new cigarette bag and pot back. ”

Old man Yang showed the most smile since he saw Xingzhen, and what Xingzhen had seen before was not as much as an early morning today.

Old man Yang said with a smile: "Okay, okay, let's arrange it in a few days, and let Lao Pang and Jin Sanduo take you and Bu Shiwu to the county seat together." Let them scatter, it's been a long time since I've seen these two little things go crazy. ”

"Another old guy from Yushan hasn't sent a message for so long, and I'm a little drumming in my heart. ”

Xing Zhen said: "Okay, why do you want to go with Master Pang and Master Jin and Master Jin? Shanliang County is not so dangerous, right?"

Old man Yang: "They have to go together, and safety is the most important thing now." God knows how deep the collusion between Hongguang Cottage and Shanliang County is. ”

Xing Zhen: "Damn Hongguang Cottage, you will kill yourself if you do too much injustice." ”

Old man Yang gritted his teeth: "Hmph, don't kill yourself, when my injuries are healed, they will naturally suffer." ”

Xing Zhen said bluntly: "Master Yang, master, there are more than 100 people left in our cottage." They are an alliance of three stockades, about 5,000 yuan. I think the grievances will be put aside for a while, I don't want to see these old people have a mistake. ”

Old man Yang didn't care: "Do you think Feng Yu only has the strength in front of him? What about the five thousand people, you can still take them all." “

Xing Zhen was shocked: "This is true." ”

Elder Yang took a quick puff of dry cigarette with a headache: "When the time comes, I will take you with me, and your heavy sword punishment will have a great effect." ”

Xing Zhen became interested: "What is the effect, can you tell me now?"

Old man Yang raised his eyes: "Practice the sword first, and be able to use the punishment flexibly, and then talk about other things." “

"Ahem, ahem, I almost forgot the purpose of coming today after saying so much. Now to start practicing the sword, the first step is to be able to afford the punishment. “

After Xing Zhen said "no problem" with high morale, he easily pulled out the heavy sword behind his back, and it was not difficult to hold it in his hand.

Old man Yang smiled and nodded: "Not bad, I haven't exercised much in the past year." ”

"It's a pity that there are no masters in the cottage who really know how to swordsmanship, so I can only give you some tips. You still focus on boxing, supplemented by sword training. ”

As he spoke, the old man's eyes lit up: "By the way, tomorrow I will let Kuishan teach you how to practice swords." The sword is not separated, so let's use the heavy sword as a broadsword for the time being. ”

Xing Zhen was embarrassed: "This is too foolish." ”

Old man Yang didn't give Xing Zhen a chance to refute, and threw down a sentence: "Continue to practice boxing today, and Kuishan will come to stare at it from tomorrow." ”

After that, the old man left with a smile. Not long after the old man left, a young boy in his teens came to the vicinity of the boxing pile.

"Brother Xingzhen, I will practice boxing with you in the future. ”

"Oh, what's wrong with the little servant, I'm not afraid that I'm too sleepy when I get up early. ”

"Don't be afraid, I'm going to practice boxing to avenge my father. “

Xing Zhen rubbed Bu is little head: "Revenge is an adult's business, you don't have to think so much when you're still young." ”

Bu is Yang made a fuss: "It's not small, I'm eleven years old this year, and I'm the only man in the family, the only man." ”

"Yes, yes, the little servant is a man, when you grow up and become stronger, the uncles and uncles of the cottage will take you to revenge. ”

"No, I can't wait, I often hear my mother crying secretly. The servant and the servant felt uncomfortable. ”

As he spoke, the little guy was tearful and wanted to cry.

Xing Zhen hurriedly comforted: "Okay, good, Bu Shi will practice boxing every day in the future." But let's say okay, don't say you're tired, don't shout sleepy. ”

The little guy nodded vigorously: "Uh-huh, uh-huh." ”

Then he raised his head and looked into the distance: "The servant can do it." ”

Xing Zhen smiled and pointed in another direction: "Look, someone is here to accompany you." ”

Xiao Bu Shi jumped to his feet excitedly: "Ah, things are also here." ”

I saw the latter trotting here, ran behind Xing Zhen and pulled the corner of his clothes, and said weakly: "Brother Xing Zhen, it's a little dark, I'm afraid." ”

Xing Zhen comforted: "Don't be afraid of things, I will accompany you with the servants." ”

The thing lowered his head: "Okay, in the future, Brother Xing Zhen will call me to get up every day and practice boxing together." ”

The latter is helpless, and the children in their hearts should not be like this. It is right to be carefree and playful, perhaps because of the different life environments that have created different thoughts and cognitions.

Xingzhen knew that persuasion was useless, so he stopped talking too much nonsense. He took the small hand of the servant and the thing and said loudly.

"Let's practice boxing together in the future. ”

The thing asked in a low voice, "Do you want to call Sister Peach Blossom too?" ”

Xing Zhen smiled bitterly: "No need, everyone has the right to choose." ”

The thing was not convinced: "But Sister Peach Blossom didn't choose it, she didn't know that we got up early to practice boxing, and she didn't say that she didn't want to practice boxing." ”

Xing Zhen: "That's right, I'll take you to Shanliang County to play in a few days, and I'll ask Peach Blossom when I come back." ”

The two guys are in favor with both hands. Since then, there has been a swarthy boy on the stake here. Next to the stake were two skinny little guys, the little girl with big watery eyes and the little boy with a tiger's head.

Every time she comes back from boxing practice, Peach Blossom has already prepared a hot meal. The water on the brazier was tumbling, and he waited for Xingzhen to come back and mix it with cold water before washing.

Every time Peach Blossom rushes to help, every time she will be rejected by Xing Zhen with a smile. Peach Blossom has always insisted, and Xingzhen has always refused.

Xing Zhen, who was enjoying breakfast after washing, said while eating: "Sister Peach Blossom, you sit down first, I'll just eat by myself." “

The girl was ashamed: "Does the son dislike the peach blossoms?"

Xing Zhen hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand and waved his hand again and again: "No, no, I'm used to it by myself." It's uncomfortable to be served by others. ”

Peach Blossom smiled: "I take care of my son more, just get used to it." At that time, it will be uncomfortable to have no peach blossoms to serve. ”

Xing Zhen was helpless: "Next time, next time." ”

"Sister Peach Blossom, did you have breakfast? ”

"Thank you, Childe, I have eaten the peach blossoms. ”

"Can you call me Xingzhen, Gongzi is not used to listening to it. ”

"Childe dislikes peach blossoms again?"

"No, it's not really, it's not, Sister Peach, don't think about it. Everyone in the cottage calls me Xingzhen, which is much more comfortable to listen to. ”

"Okay, in the future, Peach Blossom will also call Childe Xingzhen. ”

"That's right, it's called Xingzhen. I may go to Shanliang County in a few days, and if there is anything I need to bring you back. ”

"Well, come back with some fabric, your clothes are old. Peach Blossom will make you a few new clothes. ”

"Khan, I mean you don't need it. As for me, I just have to wear it. ”

"That's not good, how can you be the same as us subordinates. ”

"What a child, I'm a child of a poor family. When I was in Qingyang Town, it was Mr. Su and Uncle Shang who gave me a new set of clothes every year, and in the cottage, it was these uncles and uncles who gave me a new set of clothes every year. Of course not this year, the original village was ruined and a lot of things were wasted. ”

"Why are they all mountain bandits, and they still kill each other? They are all also mountain bandits, why are our uncles and uncles here different from the mountain bandits outside. Peach Blossom asked suspiciously.

Xing Zhen thought about it carefully: "It's really different, it's because Feng Yu has a strict record." ”

Peach Blossom said: "Is it really because of discipline? The big families in Shanliang County are bound by the law, and they don't do all the bad things." ”

This time Xing Zhen thought about it for a longer time, and said uncertainly: "You are right, discipline is the same as the law, it is just a constraint. Whether or not to obey depends on the self-discipline of the person being constrained. ”

"Everyone in Feng Yu seems to have never had an opinion or opposition to discipline in their hearts. Perhaps in their hearts, discipline becomes a belief or belief. ”

Peach Blossom was confused: "What is faith? What is faith?"

The sentence that was asked was even more confused: "I don't know, it wasn't specifically said in the book." After going down the mountain, I went to the bookstore to look for it, and I saw that there were no books on this subject. ”

"By the way, you haven't told me yet, if you need anything to bring it back? ”

Peach Blossom was categorical: "There is food and drink in the cottage, and there is nothing else needed." ”

Xing Zhen said: "Okay, since you don't say it, I really don't need it." ”

Seeing that Peach Blossom wanted to speak and stopped, Xing Zhen asked tentatively: "You also want to go down the mountain to Shanliang County." ”

Peach Blossom shook her head slowly, and nodded again.

Xing Zhen began to scratch his head: "Do you want to go or don't want to go?"

Seeing Peach Blossom pursing her lips, as if struggling in the bottom of her heart.

Xing Zhen asked tentatively: "Sister Peach Blossom, do you want to worship your grandfather and grandfather?" ”

The latter nodded silently. Xing Zhen finally understood what he meant, and comforted: "Tomorrow, talk to my Pang Lao, and arrange for two more people to go down the mountain." In the middle of the way, we will separate and let these two uncles take you to worship. After the worship, just return to the cottage. ”

Peach Blossom was overjoyed: "Really?"

Xing Zhen: "Of course. “

The girl Yingying bent down and gave a blessing.
