Now Chang'an City has gone crazy, Chang'an City is full of nervous anger, countless men dressed in soldiers are patrolling the streets, there are Jin Wuwei, there are left and right military guards, whether it is in public or private, Li Yuan doesn't know how many times he scolded Li Er, the earliest anger in Li Er's heart has long since turned into panic, he is afraid, he is really afraid that the child will not be able to get it back. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Just when Chang'an City has been disrupted, at this time Li Chengqian is walking between the fields with graceful wandering, looking at the green shirts and green water in the distance, the willows and flowers are bright, looking at the birds flying freely on the edge of the field, he wants to enjoy this kind of free and easy days for a while, he seems to have never been so free and easy in two lifetimes, in his previous life, for the ideals of his old man, he joined the army, and he couldn't bear the various responsibilities of his old man, Li Chengqian went abroad angrily, and finally died in a foreign country, that is, the bones were lost and never left.

In this life, I originally wanted to live a good life, but I didn't expect to be born in the emperor's family, and the rest of the days were even more laborious, never slack, I longed for freedom, and longed for that kind of unrestrained life, but the things in the world are like this, we are always living for others, and we are busy for others.

Therefore, Li Chengqian cherishes the present day even more, he greedily enjoys this moment of tranquility, and enjoys this hard-won freedom, even if it is for a second.

Standing on the ridge and looking at the endless Guanzhong Plain in front of him, Li Chengqian's eyes gradually became more and more of something else, and the ease in his eyes suddenly disappeared, after all, he still had to live for others.

"Uncle! What are you doing here? ”

Sitting on the ridges of the fields, the farmers who traveled back and forth between the ditch and the farmland, Li Chengqian asked an old man beside him in confusion.

The uncle is a man in his forties, the man's skin is dry and dark, his hair is often tied up on his head, he is wearing a linen shirt, the large and small patches on the shirt are top in more than a dozen, and he is stepping on a pair of straw sandals, because of the mud, the already bulky straw shoes are becoming more and more bulky, at this time the old man is holding a wooden bucket in his hand, and he is watering a seedling by seedling, this side has just been watered, but the soil in the distance has become dry, I can only rely on the side and I don't know if it is the grandson or the son's descendant.

Hearing that he was talking to himself, the old man looked up, and saw a young man in brocade clothes and jade crowns squatting on the ridge to talk to himself, put the wooden barrel aside, stretched his waist greatly, and then moved his neck and smiled at Li Chengqian.

"Yo~ On this hot day, what is the little boy doing in this field if he doesn't stay at home."

I looked at the old man's appearance carefully, looked at the old man's eyes with a looming scar, his face stiffened slightly, and he glanced at the old man's tiger mouth without a trace, where is there a thick layer of calluses between them, at this time Li Chengqian's heart is like lightning, although there are many soldiers in Guanzhong, but this old man is only in his forties, such a veteran of a hundred battles should naturally serve in the army, right, looking back at the surrounding environment, Li Chengqian suddenly realized.

"The adults in the family have a few words, come out for a walk, and be smooth."

The old man sat on the edge of Li Chengqian regardless of it, stretched out his hand to pull out a wild grass on the edge of the ridge, and said softly: "There haven't been a few rains this spring, and the fields at home are so high that water can't be transported.

I don't know when, some of the old farmers around all put down the guys in their hands, stood up straight and spread out everywhere without a trace, and there was no longer the eagerness in their eyes that they were watering the fields just now, and they were all full of seriousness and murderous intent.

"The baby should study at home, aren't you worried about going out of the house alone?"

Looking at the old farmer's eyes full of playfulness, Li Chengqian felt a little lost in his heart, would he be worried? Perhaps, after all, he is not a cold-blooded butcher.

Ignoring the old man's words, Li Chengqian stood up and walked towards the small river in the distance, the river water is blue, the water flow is very stable, the riverbed is very deep, if you want to dig a ditch to get water, I am afraid it is a little difficult, this is located in the link between the Guanzhong Plain and the Qinling Mountains, the terrain is a little higher than others, but even the highest place is only the other side of the old man's house.

"Uncle, haven't you thought of using other methods to get water? When is it a head to water the ground like this? ”

The old man stood three feet behind Li Chengqian, although his eyes looked at Li Chengqian, but his eyes were looking around, and when he heard Li Chengqian's question, the old man was stunned and said to Li Chengqian: "What can be done, aren't all ancestors carried like this for generations?" ”

Li Chengqian rolled his eyes when he heard this, the old ancestor can be much smarter than you.

"There is a carpenter in our village."

The old man glanced at Li Chengqian strangely, and then asked, "What is the little boy looking for a carpenter?" ”

Li Chengqian didn't answer, and looked at a young man in his twenties standing in the distance, at this time the young man was looking around with a wooden spoon in his hand like a bodyguard, Li Chengqian suddenly felt warm in his heart, picked up a stone on the ground, and threw it at the young man.

The man turned his head and glanced at Li Chengqian suspiciously, only to hear Li Chengqian say: "Go to the village to find a few more carpenters, and bring some pen and ink over." ”

This Zhuangzi is the fief of the eldest princess Li Xiuning, Li Chengqian has been here before, but he has almost forgotten it, so he said that he looked familiar with the old man just now, and he didn't think that this guy was his aunt's personal soldier, and since he was discovered, Li Chengqian didn't plan to hide it, and it was also his duty to help these guys.

Half an hour later, the guy walked over with two middle-aged men, walked to Li Chengqian's side and bowed, and then took a package from behind him and handed it to Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian took the package, looked at the paper and pen inside, nodded with satisfaction, beckoned to the two carpenters and said, "You guys come over first, this thing may be a little troublesome, but it's simple, listen carefully." ”

As he spoke, he took the two of them to the weeping willows by the river, laid out the paper and said to the two of them: "This thing is called a waterwheel and a sky crane, the height of the car is 10 three zhang, and it is supported by an axle with a length of two and a half zhang and a diameter of two feet and a half meters, which spreads out radially to all sides. Each spoke is topped with a scraper and bucket. It looks like this. Li Chengqian drew what he was talking about on paper. Then he interrupted what the two men were about to say and continued.

"If you have a question, remember it first, and ask it later, here let the scraper scrape the water, and the bucket is filled with water. The river rushed, slowly turning the spokes with the inertia of the movement of the water potential, and one by one the buckets filled with river water were lifted up step by step. At the top, the bucket slopes naturally, pumping water into the aqueduct so that it can flow to the irrigated fields. ”

After speaking, I was afraid that they would not understand, so I took two more drawings, drew a side view and a top view, and looked at the shocked appearance of the two, Li Chengqian explained the sink, baffle, and some scattered parts to the two, saying that it was already noon, and several women brought some meals, which were fish and meat, which made Li Chengqian very embarrassed.

Seeing Li Chengqian scratching his head, your old man stepped forward and touched Li Chengqian's head and said: "Your father doesn't know what to think, such a spiritual and sensible baby has to smoke melon seeds with big ears, and he can also get that hand, if it is changed in our house, it will be too late for us to hurt." ”

It's not that the old man doesn't move the rules, he is a veteran of the rest of the battle, but now he is not a soldier, but a villager, the Tang Dynasty is a very strange dynasty, although the court is full of fresh clothes and angry horses, but under normal circumstances, these veterans really don't pee on that group of nobles, if they are in a hurry and they are still standing on their side, scolding them on the street is also a common thing, although the honors will not admit their mistakes for their own face, but they will definitely not retaliate.

Glancing up at the old man, Li Chengqian sat on the ground and brought out the food in the basket, took out a pair of chopsticks and said to the old man: "Why is there only one pair of chopsticks?" ”

The old man smiled at the corner of his mouth, looked at Li Chengqian's little face and said: "If you don't say it, I won't ask, let's not know each other, but there must be rules, and people will be scolded if the rules are broken." ”

Li Chengqian pursed his lips, ate a few bites randomly, then put down the dishes and chopsticks and said to the old man: "Uncle, I'm done eating, it's time for you to eat." ”

The old man looked at a few dishes and just passively made a few chopsticks, and he liked this baby more and more.

At this moment, there was a sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and the old man instantly pulled out a dagger in the basket, got up and protected Li Chengqian behind him, and the surrounding people also took the weapons sent from Zhuangzi just now in their hands, looking at the cavalry that was hurrying over in the distance.

"That's my father, why is my uncle nervous~"

Saying that, he put the food in the basket, covered the curtain, and said sullenly: "I know stinky fart all day long, why do you bring so many people here?" Aren't you just thinking about putting on a show? ”

When everyone arrived, all the people around them knelt down on one knee, saluted the people on the horse, and said, "The subordinate eldest princess guards the generals, see Admiral Tiance." See Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess. ”

Li Chengqian looked at Li Chengqian, who was pouting and looking at himself, the anger in his heart had somehow disappeared, he got off the horse and ignored Li Chengqian, but walked to the old man's side, grabbed the old man's hand with both hands and said: "Chai Shen will work hard, and I have to thank the general for telling the rebel son here." ”

"The general doesn't have to say this, the matter of his subordinates, since this matter has already been done, his subordinates will retire." The old man smiled at Li Er, then looked at Li Chengqian, who was pouting, and knew that he couldn't say anything, so he also bowed down to Li Chengqian and said: "The eldest princess guards and generals, see His Royal Highness King Lu, I didn't know that King Lu arrived just now, and where it was rude, I still hope that King Lu Haihan~"

This is the surprise of identity, if I don't know if you don't say who you are, I will pretend not to know, I can talk to you in an elder tone, I can treat you with an almost ordinary attitude, but if you know who you are, then the attitude must change, this is also one of the reasons why Li Chengqian longs for freedom, because in this era of strict hierarchy, even if the people's customs are open, that invisible barrier is still blocking, so that you are gradually estranged from the outside world unconsciously.

"Uncle Chai doesn't have to be polite, he doesn't pretend to be serious, if there is something offended, please also ask Uncle Haihan."

Waiting for General Chai to leave, Li Xiuning hurriedly got off the horse and walked to Li Chengqian's side to pick him up, looked at Li Er's face, and said to Li Chengqian: "In the future, if the family is wronged, go to my aunt's, I see that the one who dares to move your finger, look at this little face, there is a primer on the face, how much strength does it take to fight like this." ”
