"Erhu, you get up first."

After the second tiger got up, Wang Shihua asked suspiciously: "Tell me, who can force you to kowtow?" ”

"Who else but my daddy?"

As soon as he talked about this, Erhu felt that he was the most aggrieved person in the world: other people's meritorious services were all promoted to a higher place, but only the more meritorious he was, the more he went down. made meritorious service to Wang Shihua, but was slapped by his father to guard the city wall; finally fell into the sky to give a big credit, and as a result, because he begged to tell the assassin about his affection, Daddy directly sent him to guard the city gate.

"Erhu! It's really hard for me to talk about that. Wang Shihua said with a smile: "Uncle Tiger must have his plans, you said that if I disrupt his training for you at this time, wouldn't I be sorry for Uncle Tiger's hard work?" ”

"But I really can't figure out what I'm doing wrong?"

This is the authorities are fascinated, and the bystanders are clear! At a glance, others knew that this was Uncle Tiger honing the mind of the two tigers, but the two tigers just couldn't understand it, so what did others say?

"That's it, Erhu, you go to the top for a few days first, and you should take a holiday for yourself. When I come back from Wangjiaping, I'll tell you about it. ”

"Then you have to talk about it."

"Don't worry." Wang Shihua smiled bitterly and nodded in agreement. He added: "The deadline set for that iron and stone is exactly the same day as the day I returned to Wangjiaping. If he comes, you'll have to show him to me. ”

"Yes!"

The second dog on the side interjected: "Young master, if he doesn't come?" ”

"Impossible!" The second tiger glared at the two dogs angrily and said, "How can such a good man be greedy for life and afraid of death?" ”

Wang Shihua didn't bother to listen to their arguments, and walked towards Ah Xia's room.

Three days later in the early morning.

Wang Shihua rode out of the city with his escort, and two baskets were hung on the horses, which were tightly covered.

As soon as I arrived at the gate of the city, I saw the two tigers leading the horses from a distance, dressed like the guards, waiting under the gatehouse.

I heard the horse's hooves on the bluestone slab on the street. Click! He began to get nervous, and when he saw Wang Shihua, he smiled a little awkwardly.

Wang Shihua rode on the back of the horse and stopped in front of him, and smiled at him while touching the mane of the horse: "I heard that you have been guarding here very carefully in the past two days, and you have searched very carefully, so you almost have to see if there is something hidden in the belly pocket of the eldest girl and the little daughter-in-law, is it true?" ”

The convoys burst into laughter.

Erhu glanced at them angrily, then glanced at Wang Shihua, touched his head, and explained a little embarrassedly: "Young master, don't listen to their nonsense, I just listened to my father say that this time is not peaceful, and you should try to search carefully." ”

Wang Shihua held back a smile and asked again: "But I remember that a few days ago you asked you to wait here for that iron stone, didn't you agree?" What, do you want to regret it? ”

"Young master, just spare me. Anyone can do that job, and I've already told someone to entertain him for me. Erhu didn't think much about it, and clenched his fists and begged for mercy: "Young master, if I am still here guarding the city gate, if anything happens, it is estimated that Daddy will let me go directly to herd cattle." ”

Wang Shihua took a closer look at his escort outfit and said with a smile: "You really want to join the escort team so much?" ”

"I don't want to be a bad seed!"

"Well said! Get on the horse and follow me. ”

"Yes!"

"Drive!" Wang Shihua clamped the horse's belly, shouted, and surrounded by the escorts, there was a "click!" of horses' hooves stepping on the bluestone slab. Click! With a sound, he rushed out of the city.

Wangjiaping is located in the north of Longtang Town, more than 20 miles away, and there are currently 713 households. Except for the ninety-nine families with the surname Wang, the rest are all other surnames that depend on the Wang family for survival.

Wangjiaping is built by the mountains and rivers: the residence is surrounded by thousands of wooden pillars the size of buckets, and there are more than ten brick bunkers in the middle. To the south of it, there is a Pidu River about ten meters wide and about three meters deepest, with a stone bridge on it and a suspension bridge at the other end, which is the only way to enter, and on the opposite side of the river, there are hundreds of acres of fertile land, and there are observation posts on the periphery. Leaning on a big mountain called Shenyi Mountain, about 500 meters high, like a seat, three sides are 100 meters high cliffs, only the direction facing Wangjiaping is a slope, just like a big seat. It has been operated by the Wang family for many years, in order to have a shelter place in case the cottage is not breached.

Such a terrain seems to be easy to break, but in fact, the most critical place lies in the Shenyi Mountain behind it: as long as the whole village hides on the mountain, adds more human guns to the several fortresses in front, and then arranges enough human guns at the 'handrails' on both sides, it will form a natural three-sided attack. Under normal circumstances, you don't even want to break through without paying ten times the price.

As usual, after arriving at the observation post, Wang Shihua dismounted and walked.

The cottage can be seen from afar, but what attracts Wang Shihua more is the hundreds of acres of fertile land - the granary of the Wang family! Opium poppies are not allowed to be planted in such good paddy fields at all, this is the ancestral motto set by the old lady before her death.

In front of you is the blue world, the green glazed rice stalks are as straight as javelins, blown by the mountain wind, bent slightly like a wave, and the wind can be seen; The green glazed ears of rice have begun to bear fruit, and after peeling off, a little milky white liquid sticks to the hand, and the tip of the tongue tastes sweet.

"Thank God for taking care of you, the ancestors bless, my Wang family has another good year!" The sweetness coming from the tip of his tongue made Wang Shihua sigh, and happiness filled his chest.

Wang Shihua walked by the ditch, the fingers of his right hand were spread, and he gently brushed with the ears of rice, and the feeling from his hand made his heart unusually calm.

Some women are carrying headscarves, carrying baskets on their backs, and their twelve or thirteen-year-old boys are carefully weeding.

"Come here! Come here! Wang Shihua jumped on horseback, beckoned and shouted loudly.

The teenagers suddenly ran over regardless of their cheerfulness and surrounded Wang Shihua, wiping their sweat with surprise and anticipation in their eyes.

"Did you read today?"

"Today is a holiday, and I will weed the fields at home."

Wang Shihua smiled with satisfaction: This kind of question and answer has been experienced countless times, but every time Wang Shihua asks like this...... The Wang family is still martial, and some are brave people, but the Wang family didn't like to read before, thinking that they were useless scholars, and there were really few good strategists. It was only under Wang Ji'an's implementation that everyone gradually accepted the concept that reading is also promising. The generation of the two tigers and the big dog can be regarded as enjoying the benefits of reading - they are all literate.

"Good! Good! Sugar, sugar. ”

Hearing this, the teenagers quickly lined up. Wang Shihua got off the horse, grabbed a handful of candy from the basket on the horse's body and put it in the hand of the first young man, then touched his head, and said with a smile: "Martial arts must be practiced, but books must also be read well, do you know?" ”

"Got it, thank you, Young Master Shihua."

Both men and women touch their heads, give the same words, and then give a handful of candy. The teenagers were happy, Wang Shihua was even happier, especially when they saw that they all knew the rules and carefully put the candy in their pockets, leaving a few, and quickly ran to the grandma who stood up and looked at it, and fed the candy that peeled off the candy paper into the aunt's mouth, the mother and son smiled sweetly together and bowed to Wang Shihua again to thank him, and Wang Shihua's heart was even happier...... Of course, this is the result of Wang Shihua's two educations for them. Once the rules are established, an atmosphere will be formed, a good atmosphere that will make Wang Shihua and his descendants feel happy and fulfilled.

Downstream of the stone bridge, 100 children were playing in the water, swimming, diving into the water, or jumping on the backs of oxen...... The oldest of them was only ten years old, and the youngest was only five or six years old. Under the protection of the family, under the wing of their parents, they are in the most carefree and beautiful childhood of their lives.

When Wang Shihua's figure appeared on the side of the stone bridge, these children did not have the rules and discipline of those little teenagers just now, and they swarmed Wang Shihua in the middle, stretched out their hands to Wang Shihua, and shouted loudly, "Young master, I want sugar...... Young master, I want melon seeds......"

Wang Shihua and the horses of the escort team were all these snacks, which would naturally meet the children's small requests. In fact, as long as they recognized themselves as young masters and laid the foundation for the future rules of respect and inferiority, Wang Shihua was very satisfied.

But upstream, it's a completely different adult scene: on the left side of the upstream (on the side of Wangjiaping), dozens of girls are washing clothes. It is said that it is washing clothes, but this is the morning, washing clothes is just a name, the real purpose is to look at the other side of the river, want to choose Ruyi Langjun from the hundreds of sturdy teenagers, and from time to time smile and point at his sweetheart, wanting to arouse his sweetheart's response to the eyes. Xiangxi people are so cool, girls are also straightforward, they are willing to pay a qiē when they see it, they never regret it, and they don't mind women chasing men.

The two or three hundred sturdy boys between the ages of 15 and 18 were being trained by the family: either to catch and fight with wooden weapons in the water, or to practice boxing and sticks on the shore, or to hang a fist-sized pebble with a rope at the muzzle of the gun to practice arm strength and stability--bullets are expensive, and they only have ten bullets on the last day of each month, and they can only practice in normal times.

Iron battalions, flowing soldiers! Men and women work together without getting tired...... What a familiar scene, but the thing is different: when I was abused here, the girl opposite seemed to be so judgmental, but only a few of the girls at that time now tied the knot with the person they liked, and most of them have become other people's cousins...... Wave after wave, once it has passed, it will never come back.

Seeing this, Wang Shihua, like the guards, looked at them with envy with an identity and mentality of a person who had come over, and the ups and downs of being abused here came to his mind. But think about it the other way, when I was under the bridge and saw the people on the bridge, why didn't I salivate with envy?

Entering Wangjiaping, a straight avenue hundreds of meters long leads from the gate of the cottage to the gate of the patriarch's house.

Seeing Wang Shihua leading the horse over, everyone greeted Wang Shihua with a smile and said some words of blessing.

Wang Shihua also returned the salute with a smile.

When I got home, my grandmother and several little mothers who heard the report were already waiting at the door.

"Shihua greets Grandma."

"My son, you're back. Let Grandma take a look and take a good look. ”

The children are all the hearts and daughters of the grandmother, and it is clear that Wang Shihua has nothing to do, so they have only been separated for a few days? Grandma insisted that Wang Shihua had lost some weight, and he must have suffered a lot. Wang Shihua had to explain with a smile.

After greeting a few mothers and some female elders in the family, everyone entered the door angrily. Soon, Wang Shihua was bathed and dressed as a groom...... Wang Shihua was like a puppet, he was told a few words by this, and he was dressed up by that, until he saw that someone was going to rub powder on himself, and there was an elder next to him who took the big red flower, looking at Wang Shihua's head, as if he was scanning the hole in this head, okay, the flower was inserted into it, Wang Shihua suddenly woke up, and did not agree, and the final result of the negotiation was to insert a golden chicken feather on both sides of the groom's hat to be finished.

When the sun set, Wang Shihua was finally rescued from the saliva of his elders by his father-in-law of the sun - the time to marry the concubine had arrived.
