As far as the courtyard of the house where Uncle Ye lives in Wuling Mountain, I am afraid that as soon as Mr. Shui Shui sees it, he will be able to recite Lu You's poem "Visiting Shanxi Village" - Mo Xiao's farmhouse is full of wine, and the guests are full of chickens and dolphins in the harvest year. There is no way out of the mountains and rivers, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village. Xiao Gu followed the Spring Society, and his clothes were simple and ancient. From now on, if you are allowed to ride the moon idlely, you will knock on the door with a cane all the time and night!

There is a clear stream in front of the door, and when the peach blossoms come down in the spring, it is just a waist depth, and it is over the knee on weekdays. There are swimming fish in the stream that can withstand the cold of spring, all of which are small fish with small scales that are one palm long, two or three fingers thick, and not large.

Stepping on the wooden bridge over the clear stream, I walked across the water two or three zhang wide, and I was faced with dozens of large pine trees with straight pen pipes. The pine needles under the tree were estimated to be taken away by Uncle Ye to make the materials for the fire, and the exposed ground was full of grass that had just sprouted, and it looked clean and neat when you looked at this scene.

There are no more than two or three hundred steps along the winding road between the big pines, and there are three different paths of height, and the fence around the yard woven by the bamboo and sylvestris trees is all raised with all kinds of living creatures. Resting in the outermost layer of fence is raised is more than 20 wild geese that have trimmed their wings and tail feathers, although it is difficult to spread their wings and soar, but when I saw someone entering, they are still flapping their wings, stretching their necks and calling 'Angang', but it is a bit of a tame housekeeper goose pie?

There are twenty or thirty chickens and ducks scattered in the middle fence, and they are all pheasants and wild ducks. But I don't know what kind of mysterious method Uncle Ye used, those pheasants and wild ducks actually stayed in the fence and waited for people to feed, but they didn't escape to the mountains and forests that were close at hand?

The most intimate layer of the fence is more than a man high, and the boundary occupied is also the widest. But in the fence, there were only two free-walking dogs with wilted heads, dark fur, and knee-high frames. Seeing the old Uncle Ye leading people across the fence and leaving a colleague, the two black-haired walking dogs just raised their heads slightly and glanced at Uncle Ye. Then he pulled his head down again, and it was obvious that he looked like a listless leper dog.

The spacious courtyard was covered with six large houses, all of which were made of bluestone for the walls, the roofs of huge trees, the pine branches for tiles, and the gravel for the ditches, even in the wind and rain in the mountains. I'm afraid it's rare to urge this house to be heavy?

In the scene where six rooms are gathered together, pine nuts, seeds, yams, yellow essences, and some famous and unknown medicinal herbs are basking in the sun. It is estimated that there is a sweet smell of medicinal herbs, but it has attracted a lot of wild bees in the mountains to hover over those dried medicinal herbs.

It should be in response to the old saying that you don't dig wells in the mountains, and I didn't see a well poking in the courtyard of Nuoda. On the contrary, a large pine tree was used to cut out a water trough, and from the direction of the mountain behind the back of the courtyard, it was slowly poured into a large bluestone pool in the courtyard. When the pool was almost eight minutes deep, the spring water that was about to overflow flowed down the five palm-wide and narrow spits left on the bluestone pool into the stone ditch hewn into the fence wall, and meandered into the brook in front of the door.

Looking at the bud grain cobs and chicken head millet hanging on the bluestone walls of three or four rooms, and then look at the smoked fish and cured meat and leather hoofs hanging outside the stove. Xiang Youbao couldn't help but smile at the old Uncle Ye who was leading the way in front and said, "Old Uncle Ye, did you just say that the place where you rested was a shack?" But I'm looking at you here...... I'm afraid you won't change it if you give a third-auxiliary rank to Jingguan'er, right? ”

Haha laughed, Uncle Ye responded with a bit of self-satisfaction: "If the third generation does not accumulate virtue, he will be punished as Jing Zhaoyin." Looking at the name of an official with a third-auxiliary rank, but if you count it when it comes to benefits, it is not as comfortable as my idle life! Come, sit down, drink water, and rest your feet. Tonight we will eat some rice from the crops in the mountains. The piggybacker picked up some useful household belongings, and tomorrow, let's get up early in the morning to find those live impalas! ”

was not polite to Uncle Ye, and the leopard and his party sat down on the stools cut out of a few wooden stakes in the courtyard. It is estimated that he saw that Uncle Ye was going to pick up firewood and boil water, and the nine monkeys immediately jumped in front of Uncle Ye with great insight: "Uncle Ye, you sit and rest, this work of boiling tea and pouring water, I have a round!" ”

patted the top of the head of the nine monkeys with a bit of praise, and Uncle Ye was really not pretentious, he raised his hand and pointed to the side of the fence wall: "The firewood is all resting there!" There was a white iron kettle in the stove room, and there was wild tree tea in a clay pot next to it! ”

With a promise, the nine monkeys turned around and ran to the fence and picked up a bundle of pine needles. But he glanced at the two black-haired walking dogs, and turned his head curiously to shout to Uncle Ye, who had just sat next to Xiang Youbao: "Old Uncle Ye, why don't you two housekeeping things have any energy in the daytime?" Isn't it sick? ”

Haha laughed, Old Uncle Ye didn't respond to the nine monkeys' question, but looked at Xiang Youbao with his eyes.

He turned his head to look at the two walking dogs who were lying on the ground and couldn't get up. Looking at the obvious look of the examination in Uncle Ye's eyes, Xiang Youbao raised his voice and shouted at the nine monkeys: "If you don't understand, just talk nonsense?" These two things are worthless in the eyes of the layman, but they can be seen by the insider...... Just these two things, it would be a loss to put them in Sijiu City for a set of houses with three entrances inside and outside! ”

Squinting his eyes, a hint of surprise flashed in Old Uncle Ye's eyes, but he said to Xiang Youbao as if he was careless: "There is a leopard, are you afraid that you are looking away?" These two walking dogs are just things that I will get to drive the mountains and hold prey, where can it be as expensive as you say?! ”

Towards Uncle Ye, Xiang Youbao reached out and picked up a stone the size of a fingernail from the ground, and threw it towards the two walking dogs from a distance. Seeing that the stone smashed on one of the walking dogs, and the walking dog didn't even move its fur, Xiang Youbao suddenly replied to Uncle Ye firmly: "Old Uncle Ye, you two things....... I'm afraid it's not just a random call, right? If this is according to my opinion, the one that looks at the body fight a little, I'm afraid it can't be a thing refined by the method of nine dogs and one mastiff? The one with a smaller body frame is estimated to be only three strings? Without a small decade of hard work and the opportunity of God's reward, it is a good thing that cannot be obtained! ”

Suddenly picked a thumbs up at Xiang Youbao, and Uncle Ye sighed and smiled: "I have heard Yinghe girl say in the past that the characters in the main gate of the fire in the capital are the first to handle and train things!" When I saw it today, it really lived up to its reputation! Admire! ”

Holding a bundle of pine needles and firewood in his hand, the nine monkeys watched the words of Uncle Ye and Xiangyoubao, but they didn't hear the mystery in these words at all. After being slightly stunned for a moment, the nine monkeys quickly rushed into the stove with the bundle of pine needles and firewood, and after three or two times to lead the flames, they took the white iron kettle and sat down in the morning, and immediately ran back to Uncle Ye, salivating and smiling at Uncle Ye: "Uncle Ye, I just listened to what my senior brother said, your two walking dogs are not ordinary, I am afraid that there are university questions in them!" We're waiting here for the water to boil, you...... Can you teach me the trick here? ”

Raising his finger and pointing at the leopard sitting opposite him, Uncle Ye squeezed his eyes at the smiling nine monkeys: "Ask the little ghost in front of the city god, look at the ginseng and radishes, you kid wants to know the trick here, why don't you ask your senior brother, but come to ask me such a layman?" ”

Straightening his face, the nine monkeys bowed to Old Uncle Ye and replied seriously: "Back to Old Uncle Ye's words, the master in the door and the senior brother have said that there is only the level of craftsmanship in this world, no matter inside or outside the door!" I've never heard of craftsmanship, but I've never heard of the threshold in the way! The Nine Monkeys have always kept this in their hearts! ”

also straightened his face, Uncle Ye put away the playful smile on his face, and reached out to pat the shoulder of the nine monkeys: "Good boy, really good boy!" Today, if your old Uncle Ye is hiding and prevaricating you with a piece of soup, your old Uncle Ye is not counting! There are many people who know the number of these nine dogs and one mastiff, but the left is just nine dog cubs with a mother's sibling, who were just weaned and locked in a hole in the ground without seeing the light of day, forcing them to kill each other. Just wait for one living cub left, and it will become a mastiff. and then take wolf meat and wolf blood to train ferocity and fierceness, and after raising it, an ordinary group of wolves is not its opponent! It's just that this method is a bit of a bad thing, if it weren't for the wolves as a disaster, ordinary hunters would not have used this desperate trick! ”

Turning his head to look at the dozen or so broken wolf skins hanging on the wall outside the stove room, the nine monkeys immediately smacked their tongues and responded: "Look at these wolf skins on the wall, they are almost torn into strips of rags....... I guess it was picked up by the mastiff you raised, Uncle Ye, right? ”

Nodding helplessly, Uncle Ye stroked his snow-white beard and responded: "That is, the situation five years ago, I don't know where a group of wolves came from in this mountain." The first green wolf is like a calf, and when there is a big moon on the fifteenth day, they all stand on the top of the mountain and howl at the moon all night, almost all of them are about to become fine, forcing the wild things in this radius of thirty miles to avoid it far away, and carrying it with it also plagues a bullock in the farmer's house near the left! I was also forced to do it, so I moved this method of nine dogs and one mastiff......"

Nodding regretfully, Xiang Youbao also answered at this moment: "Listen to my master, this method of nine dogs and one mastiff has been used by people in the north and south, and the number of roads is also similar. There is also a saying that the northern mastiff is powerful and the southern mastiff is stable, which means that the mastiff dog trained by the north with the method of nine dogs and one mastiff is full of posture, a dog barks, and the birds and beasts in the mountains and forests of ten miles are silent! And the mastiffs trained in the south are all wilted and drooping, even if the prey comes to the mouth, they don't bark at all, only waiting for the stall to be able to get nine out of ten before they burst into hunting, and never misses! Old Uncle Ye, you mastiff....... It seems to have been served by the method of training mastiffs from the south? ”

Nodding slightly, Old Uncle Ye laughed loudly: "I'm not a good person, but I'm still a hunter?" I'm going to bark all the way with a northern mastiff by my side, and I guess I'm scared away from everything in a radius of more than ten miles, so what else can I fight? (To be continued.)
