The scorching sun is like fire, hanging in the sky and spitting out ten thousand poisonous flames. Sitting in the house, you will be sweating, not to mention the people who are working outside. Anyone who has a little property will try their best to avoid this flaming mountain-like temperature.

After the Dong family was attacked by horse thieves in Lintao, they began to move to the pasture.

According to Dong Yuan's idea, they built a wall two or three people high around the ranch. There were private soldiers from the Dong Mansion patrolling the walls, sentry posts were set up every 500 paces in the pasture, and more than a dozen tall watchtowers were built.

Under each watchtower, there is a beacon smoke hole, and inside there is cow dung and hay.

As soon as there is a trace of a horse thief, wolf smoke will be spewed out of the smoke hole, and the entire ranch can be assembled in a single stick of incense.

Dong Yuan's idea made the whole Dong Mansion admire it.

Mrs. Dong even said that the four girls in our family are sensible, and they have begun to plan for their families, and they have really grown up.

Every time Dong Yuan said it, her face was red, and she couldn't help but feel guilty in her heart. She knew very well that these ideas were all from Dong Li and Dong Yu's handwriting. She is just a conveyor, but she didn't expect to make the old lady happy to be like this.

Perhaps, I used to be too foolish.

Since May, the Dong family has paid a lot of money to recruit elders with skills in Xiliang as ranch guards. On the 17th, Yadan, a Qiang man from Liangzhou, was recruited. This man is seven feet tall, but he has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes. Crotch dismounted, a splash of wind knife, more proficient in a secret weapon kung fu, two-foot throwing gun 100 shots, in Xiliang known as the nickname of the wind chasing gun, quite famous.

On the 21st, there were strong people from Yongzhou Yinping who came to apply. This person is a Di man, good at using a big axe, and extremely brave.

On the 23rd, Wushan people came to apply.

……

In just one month, the Dong family's ranch became heavily guarded, causing the Qiangdi horse thieves to flee when they heard 'Dong'.

In mid-June, the imperial court's edict arrived in Lintao, and Niu Fu was ordered to take over the post of lieutenant of Lintao County, while still serving as the lieutenant of Xusi.

In this way, the military and political power of Lintao was vested in the Dong family, which made the Dong family's local prestige stronger and stronger.

******

These disturbing things have nothing to do with Dong Li.

Because the old lady cared about Dong Li, not long after Dong Li moved to the ranch, she brought her subordinates to live in the ranch.

As I get older, my attachment to my children and grandchildren becomes stronger and stronger.

In addition, the old lady loves Dong Li to the extreme, and she is unwilling to part with Dong Li for a moment. Mrs. Dong also wanted to move out of the Dong Mansion, but the move of the Dong Mansion was a big deal, and it was definitely not a day or two to make the trip. simply sent someone to build a large construction project on the ranch, and Mrs. Dong ordered someone to sort out her belongings at home, while explaining some things to Niu Fu.

As soon as Mrs. Dong leaves, the owner of this Dong Mansion is Niu Fu!

Actually, Ushisuke also wants to go to the ranch. Everyone knows that it is safest to follow Ugly's side. Although the horse thieves were exterminated, there were no other horse thieves who could snoop on them. It's just that as the lieutenant of Lintao County, it is a little difficult for him to leave. Fortunately, the ranch is not far from Lintao, and the county soldiers stationed in Lintao have formed a posture of facing each other.

As for the horse thieves and Taiping Taoists who were captured that day, most of them were beaten into slaves and assigned to the Dong family ranch.

Anyway, Niu Fu is a county lieutenant, and it is easy to do these things.

Who wants a horse thief? Who wants to keep a bunch of hooligans? Looking at Lintao, there is no one else except the Dong family.

And Dong Li's life has also become colorful because he moved into the ranch.

In the early morning, wrestle with the lion's mane; Then it is to boil up the strength and practice martial arts. At noon, he listened to Cheng Fang and Dong Yu read the art of war for him, and in the afternoon, he followed Yadan to test his martial arts, and by the way, he also learned spear throwing from Yadan's hands.

Another month has passed, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter!

On this day, after Dong Li and the lion's mane beast wrestled, he lay on the grass and breathed heavily. It's no wonder that after three months of fighting, he still hasn't defeated the lion's mane. Dong Li felt that his strength had increased, but the strength of the lion-mane beast was also increasing. However, Dong Li also found a problem, although his time for dancing the hammer has increased, it is still a little difficult to wield the one hundred and fifty pounds of sledgehammer freely. Not to mention, that pair of genuine drum urns and golden hammers.

How can I increase my strength and stamina?

This has become a big problem that Dong Yan urgently needs to solve at present.

Fighting with Yadan and others, the other party didn't know the details of Dong Yan at the beginning, and he was often defeated in three or five rounds. But as he became more and more familiar with Dong Li, Yadan and others discovered Dong Li's fatal weakness. Therefore, they no longer confronted Dong Li head-on, but fought as much as possible in a roundabout way, in order to consume Dong Li's strength and then win.

Even Pei Yuanshao discovered this problem, although he surrendered to Dong Li, this guy still wanted to save face.

As time goes by, the staying power does increase, but the number of failures increases.

Dong Yan was very distressed, he knew that if he didn't try to make up for his shortcomings, he was afraid that he would still end up miserably in the future.

What to do?

Dong Yan sat shirtless, sitting on the grass, with a firewood stick in his mouth and pondering.

He didn't notice that a pair of eyes were silently watching him. Lu Yi sat on a small hill not far from Dong Li, holding his knees with both hands, and quietly looked at Dong Li who was contemplative. The smart eyes are with a hint of sadness at the moment.

"Girl, what are you thinking?"

Dong Yu walked to Lu Yi's side and sat down, followed Lu Yi's gaze, and then smiled: "Little girl has a spring heart!" ”

"Miss, don't talk nonsense!"

Green Yi's face turned red, red like a cloud in the evening. She timidly held the corner of her clothes, lowered her head, and said in an almost mosquito voice: "The young master is such a great person, so he won't take a fancy to me, an ugly girl." ”

"Hehe, don't you say that you don't have a spring heart? If our family is an ugly girl, I don't think there are many beautiful women in the world. Besides, there's nothing wrong with liking ugly, he's very good, although he's a little ugly, he knows that it hurts. ”

"But, I'm just a little girl......"

Dong Yuzheng said: "Lu Yi, maybe I have been among the Qiang people for too long, and my speech is a bit direct. Like is like, what family background? Ah Chou is not a person who values his family background, but he is a bit arrogant, very similar to his fourth sister...... But dare I say he likes you and likes you. When the horse thief attacked, the first thing he said when he saw me was: "Where's the green ripple?" If he doesn't care about you, why is he so nervous? Man, it doesn't matter what you look like, the key is that he can protect you and make you feel safe. Do you think, is Ugly good? ”
