Chapter 24: The Village Assembly

Bailing Village is close to the foot of Bailing Mountain, built by the mountain, and the whole village follows the mountain, from high to low, and is scattered. Although it is close to the mountain, there is only one sheep intestine trail into the village from Bailing Mountain, or it goes around to the lowest flat land and enters the village from the only main road in front of the village.

Among the ancestors of the villagers who built the village back then, there were people who were quite knowledgeable and proposed to be resettled in this way, which was in line with the method of defense that was easy to defend and difficult to attack.

At the top of the village, there was an open space that could accommodate 400 people, so it was used as a square. If there is an enemy attacking, standing here and looking down, it is clear at a glance, and you can respond and deploy better and faster.

The ancestral hall in the village is also built here, first, the ancestral hall is built in the highest place in the village, representing the remembrance and respect for the ancestors; Second, if there are any major or minor affairs in the village, each family also sends representatives to gather here to discuss, so that the ancestors can also be a witness.

"When, when, when."

The old tree in front of the ancestral hall is hung with a big black copper bell, which is shouting non-stop at the moment. The village was standing on a stone under the tree, raised his hand and struck it several times, and the bell rang throughout the village.

At this time, it was just morning, and the people and families in the village had breakfast, and basically did not go out. Hearing the loud ringing of the bell, they all knew that the village was gathering the whole village to discuss something important.

So those who were going to go out also stopped, wiped their faces with cold water, and men came out of every house, and rushed to the square; There are also many women and children who can't help but come with their families to join in the fun and listen to the truth.

There are those who live close to Hu Laohan's family, or those who are well-informed, and they know that they are afraid that it is related to Gao Yue. While walking, he couldn't help but reveal some breath to his companions, but he attracted curious people to surround him, and he sighed inquiringly.

Although Gao Yue has lived in the village for half a month, it is also the first time that he has come up to the square in front of the ancestral hall. There are rules in the village, and in your spare time, you are not allowed to come here to play and play for no reason, which disturbs the purity of your ancestors.

Gao Yue looked around curiously. This village, which can not be traced in the book, at the end of the Jin Dynasty, comes into view like a picture. As far as the eye can see, the villages and villages covered by lush forests and green bamboos, such as layers of terraced fields, rise up from the steps, every household is gray adobe brick wall, grass roof, although it is monotonous and simple, but it has a sense of unity and coordination.

Standing on this high ground, the air is fresh and the view is wide. The gusts of mountain breeze make people feel refreshed and happy, and the body and mind are uplifted.

In a short time, the square was already crowded with more than 400 people, and the voices of people were noisy, and there were many people, and it was very lively. Some of them stood at the bottom of the side and kept looking over.

Yesterday, Li Hu and Feng Liang went straight to the village after returning from the county seat, and told them in detail at 1510. When Muramasa learned that Gao Yue had become a Sima and could recruit some people on his own, he was surprised and delighted, and almost screamed excitedly.

Muramasa thought about it for a while, so he told the two of them not to talk about it yet, and wait until tomorrow, gather the whole village in the square, and so on and so forth.

At this time, more than 400 people were crowded in one place, and it was no longer hot, and the squeezing squeezed out a lot of sweat, so the villagers also screamed.

"Is it that Brother Hu's Yun Song has become an official?"

"Muramasa, what is important, just say it."

"Ouch, Wu Lao Er, you stepped on my foot......"

Seeing that the people were almost here, Muramasa stood on the pingshi, glanced at his eyes, pressed his hands down, cleared his throat, and said loudly: "Fellow villagers, be quiet, ah, be quiet." Hear me tell the big guys. ”

Everyone rushed over and gathered around Pingshi, and the noise quieted down.

Muramasa took a few deep breaths, calmed down, and then said out loud that Gao Yue had gone to join the army yesterday, and now he was favored by the city lord at a glance and promoted to Sima in the army.

There was an exclamation below, and even some of the villagers who already knew some clues couldn't help but be excited when they heard what the village was talking about, especially the young people in the village, all of whom looked envious.

After Muramasa finished speaking, his face was already full of spring. He looked at Gao Yue with a smile, beckoned, and motioned for him to stand on Pingshi as well.

Muramasa bowed slightly in satisfaction and said downward: "Folks. Our Bailing Village has lived here for generations since our ancestors, and we just want to fill our stomachs and sleep well, live a peaceful and stable life, and be favored by the imperial court and come out to be an official, which is something that I can't think of. ”

"Now, it is rare for Yun Song to be an officer, and he can still manage two hundred people under his hands. This is the only serious 800 official in our village! Although Yun Song is Brother Hu's doll, she is also the descendant of our Bailing Village! Guys, do you have a light on your face? ”

There was a burst of cheers from below, and everyone was dancing with their eyebrows.

"Good. Everyone, the city lord promised in person, let Yun Song recruit some subordinates on his own. Our village is about to get ahead in the next generation, can we help again? Just watch him go disappointed? ”

"Big tiger, leopard! Tell me, how much food did you spend on your father and mother for these cow-like offspring? Now all of them have big shoulders and round waists, if you don't take advantage of this good opportunity to follow Yun Song to Bo for a future, are you still like us old people, looking for food in the mountains all your life? ”

Mura Zheng deliberately used the two brothers of the Li family to lead the conversation, and Li Hu also followed what he said before, pretending to suddenly cooperate and shout.

"We're willing to go with Brother Gao!"

"Follow Brother Gao to the city to eat and drink spicy!"

"Lao Tzu, a good figure, is born to fight!"

Led by the two of them, a large group of young people exploded. The children of the mountain people and hunters are all vigorous and powerful. On weekdays, he is young and energetic, except for going up the mountain to chop wood and hunt animals, he still has endless strength, and he doesn't know how to have fun.

As soon as I heard that I could enter the city as a soldier, I could be a serious person, and I had a future, and my boss was a brother from the same village like Gao Yue, who even admired the Li brothers for his ability, so it was right to follow him.

A few of them were too excited, hot-blooded, blushing and thick-necked, blurting out and shouting Lao Tzu Lao Tzu, who was stared at by his own Lao Tzu blowing his beard, and was vicious and vicious according to the back of his head.

There is an old man with a particularly heavy heart, holding the arms of his son and grandson. Seeing their hesitant looks, Mura Zheng said loudly: "Aunt Yao, second sister-in-law Qiao, that, Brother Ma." ”

He pointed out one by one with his hand, "There is a good way now, you don't want dolls to walk." I can put the words in front of the head, turn back to other people's later generations and follow Yun Song to drive away the Hu people, make meritorious contributions to the court, be promoted, and have a good future, at that time, you don't come to beg me to find someone Yun Song to go through the back door. ”

Muramasa pretended to be disdainful, turned his head and said to the big guy: "Sitting at home, can wealth fall from the sky?" It's okay, since you can't bear the doll, then tie the doll to the waistband of your pants for the rest of your life. ”

The few juniors who were covered by the elders of the family were laughed at by the teenagers, and they were ashamed and angry, their faces turned red, they broke free from the hands of their families, and hurriedly squeezed forward, saying that they would closely surround the team with Gao Yue as the core.

Under the encouragement of the village, the 100th young man in the village was impassioned, and there was a warm momentum of good men enthusiastically joining the army.

Muramasa was very satisfied with the effect of his speech. It seems that everyone still takes themselves as the leader of the village very seriously. He asked everyone to be quiet again, and said: "Come on, don't make any noise, let's also ask Yun Song to speak, ah no, it's Gao Sima to say a few words." ”

This time, the surroundings quickly quieted down, and the square suddenly became quiet, and countless pairs of eyes, with various expressions of anticipation, excitement, excitement, and worry, focused on Gao Yue's face.

Gao Yuezheng was amazed by Muramasa's good eloquence, and seeing that everyone was looking at him with burning eyes, he also adjusted his thoughts, thought about it, raised his eyebrows, and opened his mouth.

"The previous incident, Youlao Cunzheng has already told all the fathers and villagers, I will not repeat it. Thanks to the city lord's attention, he entrusted me with a Sima, and in addition to being happy in my heart, I was just blindly afraid that I would not be able to do it well. But now I'm not afraid. ”

Gao Yue's eyes flashed brightly, and he said loudly: "Because I have the help of many uncles and aunts, and so many good brothers, why am I afraid?" ”

"Brothers can afford me, willing to follow me, I Gao Yue has nothing else, from now on, with me to eat, the brothers will not be hungry, no matter how developed in the future, we will be brothers in our lives, share honor and disgrace!"

A group of young people who jumped out were excited and excited, and frequently cheered. People live for a lifetime, they have to continue to be helped, someone to guide them to go on, between people, pay attention to a "mutual" word, everything is mutual, you are good to me, I will double the treatment of you.

The kind of person who turns his face and denies people once he gains power, or dislikes and despises his wife and cloth friends, will still be spurned by most upright and kind people.

Gao Yue nodded below and continued, "Brothers, follow me and are willing to go out with me. We will be a collective in the future, no matter where we go in the future, to what extent, we must erect the spirit of our Bailing children, not to let outsiders look down on us, let alone fall into the face of parents, elders and ancestors, do you know? ”

"Well said!"

This time, not only the Li family brothers, Feng Liang and other young people, but even the elders such as Mura Zheng couldn't help but be moved, and nodded and applauded.

Just these words, this Yun Song of the Hu family is a kind doll with an honest heart. Know how to be grateful, know how to return, and get along with this kind of person, you won't suffer. Some of the elders who were still apprehensive from time to time in their hearts are now somewhat relieved.

"Let's gain a firm foothold in Shouyang County first and temper ourselves. We still have a long way to go in the future, but as long as our strength is strong enough, then, our stage will not be limited to such a small Shouyang County after all, and when the time comes, everyone in the world will appreciate the demeanor of our Bailing children! ”

"Those high-ranking officials and nobles, are they born with a kind? Among the generals of the Xiongnu country, there is a man named Shi Le, who is said to have been the lowest slave back then, and now he is the hero of Heluo! Brothers, we have the strength and brains, why are we still living a hard life? Why is that? ”

"And today's chaos is a good opportunity for our good men to make a difference. Defend the country and expel Hu Lu, no one can step on our heads, and we are in charge of our own lives! ”

"Let's unite as one, hug together, and earn a good future, so that the parents and elders in the family who have worked hard all their lives can enjoy the blessings of the second half of their lives, can you have confidence?"
