Chapter Forty-Six: Delivering the Letter

Xu Si stood in front of the thatched house for a while, behind the valley behind the house is the ancestral tomb of the old Xu family, because of this, this choice of land has become the only reasonable piece of land in Xu Si's hands, Xu Si asked himself that he had never come here to pull out a grass thorn except for the grave worship soil, but the cemetery was cleaned up, and the pine and cypress inside also looked lush, and even the broken stone tablet was wiped clean! This cemetery, together with the small piece of land in front of the cemetery, has become an emerald green pearl in the red land for dozens of miles!

Xu Si seemed to see the thick-boned Tian Luohan carrying water from the powder room on his shoulder to water the pines and cypresses, those grain seedlings, and saw the baby who was bowing and coughing constantly, standing in the ground under the poisonous sun with a long pole in his hand, scaring the birds and birds flying all over the sky.

And this thatched hut was originally the residence of the old Xu family's grave keeper in his heyday! And during the few years that Tian Luohan lived here, he fulfilled his duties as a grave keeper!

Xu Si closed the door of the thatched hut, thought about it and took down the copper lock on the door that was already covered with green rust, and with a wave of his hand, the copper lock drew a beautiful parabola and landed on the loess in the distance, smashing up a piece of earthy yellow smoke and dust scattered and flying, Xu Si hung the door on his nose, took a deep look at it, and turned around and walked towards the village.

Maybe it's too early, there is no one on the street, only Xu Si himself walks slowly, the thickest and oldest locust tree in the village opens its thick branches and grabs the sky, the branches and leaves that can be preserved because it is inedible can not cover the sky overhead, but in the autumn it grows on the tree The kidney bean-like fruit can be used in medicine, and there are often dealers who drive donkey carts down to buy, Xu Si often climbed this big tree when he was young and beat its fruit down for a few small money, for which he was not less beaten.

Turning the tree, a crazy man in rags almost came over, looked at Xu Si and grinned and said mysteriously, "You know what? As he spoke, he watched left and right, as if he was afraid that someone else was peeping, "It's going to rain!" It's raining heavily! The boundary river is about to be opened by the water! , the water is full of gold! What a life! Ay! His wrinkled face, covered with years, mysteriously leaned over, put his hand to his mouth and whispered, "You know what? The flowers are back! She became the daughter-in-law of the Dragon King of the North Sea! ……”

Xu Si hurriedly took a few steps forward to shake off the man, he was the most stupid person in Xujia Village, it is said that he was not stupid when he was young, and he was a very talented person, but after the river washed away his women and children one year, he never came to his senses, and the people in the village took pity on him and gave him something to eat on time, otherwise he would have starved to death.

Xu Si walked to the front of his house, his eyes couldn't help but glance at the roof, and he walked into the house when he saw that he didn't find anything unusual.

"Uncle." The girl's cheerful cry startled Xu Si, and she saw that she was sweeping the floor in the house with a broom, and saw Xu Si come in and her eyes bent into the moon.

"When did you get here?" Xu Si asked, "You won't go to me for the past two days." Niuzi did not answer Xu Si's question, but complained in a low voice, and her eyes slowly became hazy.

"Don't cry, don't cry." Xu Si hurriedly diverted the topic: "Did you see your father's car?" "Hmm!" Niuzi's Katsugami finally had a look, "I see it!" It's the first time I've seen such a handsome horse when I've grown so big! Such a handsome car, my father drove the car away, and that night rolled up a blanket roll and moved to the stable to live with the horse! ”

"Really?" Xu Sijue is unbelievable, so why don't you go to live with a four-legged livestock? "By the way," Niuzi raised her head and combed the hair that hung down to her forehead behind her ears with her hands, "My mother asked me to ask you how you did with catching the piglets?" ”

Xu Si forgot about this matter to death, and when he heard Niuzi ask, he remembered it, so he replied casually: "I told Tuzi, and he said to pay attention to it." Ay! By the way, your dad is not at home? ”

"He's it!" Niuzi pursed her mouth and said, "Bacheng is leading his horse to turn around." "I'll look for him." After Xu Si finished speaking, he hurriedly walked out of his head and hurried all the way to the east, Niu Zi shouted at him from behind, he didn't hear anything clearly, he only felt that his heart was hot, and Niu Zi's eyes that could hook the soul almost melted Xu Si!

He came all the way to Xu Tuzi's door, and first patted the window without window paper with his hand, and then heard Tuzi howling inside: "Knock what knock!" I don't let people sleep! Xu Si walked in through the wide open door, and saw the butcher sitting naked on the edge of the kang, staring at the blood-red eyes looking this way, and when he saw that it was Xu Si, he couldn't help but shout again: "Fourth! Did you kid direct me last night and didn't sleep all night? ”

"What?" Xu Si was a little dazed and at a loss. "!" Tu Zi scolded: "I don't know who it was last night!" Knocked on the window and knocked on it all night! I haven't slept all night, if I catch him, I'll skin him alive! His mind cleared up a little and immediately asked, "Fourth!" Are you looking for me? Is it going to be done over there? "It's a picture of gearing up.

"It's almost l" Xu Si looked at him and felt even more annoying, "Tomorrow morning, I will go to Xigou to gather at the fifth watch, and I will discuss something!" ”

"What's the thing you can't talk about at home? Do you have to run to that haunted West Ditch? ”

"You know!" Xu Si scolded: "Not everything can be discussed at home!" ”

"Something big?" The butcher's eyes were shining.

"You don't care about anything, just spread the news!" Xu Si looked at Tu and lay down again, and then asked, "Can you catch a little pig?" ”

"What!" Tu Zi asked vigilantly.

"That, that ......" Xu Siyue squeaked and the butcher became more nervous, and Liu Hou's identity turned around Xu Si's throat several times and finally became: "Niuzi, her mother wants to catch a little pig and raise it." ”

"What!" Tu Zi sat up abruptly and jumped off the kang naked, "You didn't say it earlier!" I'm the best at this kind of thing! You see! I promise she'll be white and fat - ah no! It's a big, fat piggy! His bald head was shining with oil as he said this.

Xu Si looked at Tu Zi suspiciously, this is not quite in line with Tu Zi's usual style, it is not normal! Tu Zi hurriedly put on his clothes and pants, and walked out of the door with Xu Si, "Do you need to tell him over there?" Tu Zi asked.

Xu Si thought for a while, "Tell him!" "I don't care about Wang Wu's side! When I was waiting for the pig to be delivered, I told him on the tape! ”

"Don't tell him over there! He is too timid to be afraid of bad things! The butcher agreed and hurried away.

Xu Si looked at his short and fat back and disappeared around the corner of the street, he always felt that he was weird today, but he couldn't think of where it was weird. Who knocked on his window last night?
