Zhang Qiang was very puzzled, looked around, and finally his eyes fell on Cao Ang, and said: "Lao Zhang has been in and out of Atou Mountain countless times, and he has never seen where there is good fat, sir, are you mistaken?" ”

Webster looked at Cao Ang blankly, with a puzzled look. Huang Shi'e frowned slightly, her eyes gradually fell to her feet, and she gently kicked the loose soil layer twice on her toes, revealing a trace of light in her eyes.

Cao Ang didn't explain directly, but asked, "How did Brother Zhang make fertilizer in previous years?" ”

Zhang Qiang raised his eyebrows, although he didn't know what Cao Ang's intentions were, he still replied truthfully: "It is to pile up the dung of the chicken and the dead grass together with the withered grass blades, and wait for it to rot into mud after a while." ”

Cao Ang nodded in agreement, pointed to the dense nests of birds on the high branches, and said, "There are flocks of birds in the forest, and all the feces excreted every day fall to the ground. Spring turns to autumn, and the surrounding weeds, dead leaves, and fruits are also buried in this land. A huge amount of manure and grass and trees are slowly rotting in this dense forest, what is the difference between it and Brother Zhang's manure? ”

Zhang Qiang and Webster looked ecstatic, Zhang Qiang fell to the ground violently, holding a handful of rotting dirt in both hands, and grinning. Huang's eyes were bright, and he glanced at Cao Ang inadvertently, revealing a trace of curiosity in his smart eyes.

Cao Ang looked at Zhang Qiang's appearance and laughed, and said: "Brother Zhang, don't worry, this top layer of soil can't replenish much soil strength, you have to shovel off the top layer, and take down those soil layers that are neither very loose nor compact, those are the most fertile soil materials." ”

When Zhang Qiang heard this, he immediately shaved twice, took out a layer of black soil, grabbed some and rubbed it on the palm of his hand, and then put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it, and then said: "Mr. is really extraordinary, these soils are good fertilizers, after plowing the field, these soils are put down into the field, which can definitely help grow seedlings." ”

Cao Ang patted Zhang Qiang's shoulder, looked at Huang, and said, "Since we have found fertilizer, let's go back, and I have to copy the article and send it to the Huang family's daughter-in-law." ”

Huang smiled and said, "Sir is really talented. ”

Cao Ang looked at Huang, although she was wearing a veil, her smart eyes seemed to be flowing with spring water, pure and thorough, which made people can't help but feel good. Cao Ang hurriedly avoided his gaze and said, "The son-in-law is falsely praised, but she only knows a little bit about it, and she is just picking up people's teeth." ”

Huang smiled and shook his head slightly, he had a good impression of Cao Ang in his heart, and felt that he not only knew the general and had great righteousness, had a square character, had good knowledge, but was also more modest and gentle, and he was really a rare young handsome.

The four of them returned to Webster's house together, and because they had not yet eaten the morning food, they were all a little hungry, and Webster was busy cooking and cooking. Before Wei left, he entrusted Xiao Qin'er to the neighbor's house, and Zhang Qiang was going to collect people.

Cao Ang and the Huang family were together, their faces were embarrassed, and they said: "I forgot to say that I know with my son-in-law, there is no pen and paper at home at the moment, and I still need my son-in-law to take it for use." ”

Huang looked at the white thatched hut on the four walls of the Wei family, sighed secretly, and said, "It's okay, the little girl will come when she goes, and Mr. Lao will wait a while." After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.

On the ground, Zhang Qiang rushed over with a panicked face, rushed into the house to find Wei's, and said, "Xiao Qin'er is gone." ”

With a bang, the object in Wei's hand fell to the ground, rushed out of the house, and looked at Zhang Qiang in fear. Zhang Qiang was extremely anxious and quickly explained the matter.

It turned out that the neighbor's husband and wife went to work in the fields, leaving only an old father at home to take care of the little grandson, not long ago went out for a convenience, and when he came back, he couldn't find Xiao Qin'er, the old man immediately panicked, they were all neighbors, and they also knew that Wei had already died of a man, just such a single seedling, if there was no more, Wei would not be able to live. At the moment, I was panicked and blamed myself, and I hurriedly picked up my little grandson and went out to look for it.

But I didn't find it for a long time, until I was really exhausted just now, so I had to drag my tired body home, and Zhang Qiang came to the door to pick up people, and then I was full of self-blame and said the situation.

"Look, go and find it, you must find Xiao Qin'er, the Du family has such a little blood and bones, if there is no more, how can I see that dead ghost in the future?" Wei Shi was in tears, his voice was full of panic, and his eyes kept searching around, hoping that he would find Xiao Qin'er's figure in the next moment.

Cao Ang and Zhang Qiang didn't dare to slack off, and immediately got up to look for it. Huang also stopped and joined the search team.

Although the scale of this small village at the foot of the mountain is not large, the terrain is complex and the forests are lush, and if Xiao Qin'er's small body drills into some inconspicuous place, it will not be found at all.

Several people searched inch by inch very carefully, and searched for more than an hour, but they did not find even a single clue. Wei Shi had already burst into tears, and the whole person was completely dispossessed. Zhang Qiang and Cao Ang were saddened in their hearts, although Cao Ang had not been here for a long time, Xiao Qin'er was naughty and cute, which made Cao Ang very happy, and he really didn't want to see him die so young.

"In this way, Brother Zhang, you often go in and out of Atou Mountain, so you will look for it to the west. Mrs. Du looked south, and then went north. As for the eastern ......," Cao Ang said, looking at Huang.

Huang Shi affirmed: "Leave it to me in the east, the terrain is open, and the little woman is more familiar with it, so she will definitely search carefully." ”

Webster's soul was not kept, and Cao Ang had no choice but to thank him.

The four of them went their separate ways, and Cao Ang headed north, searching very carefully along the way, regardless of potholes, mountain passes, and woods. After walking for about two miles and finding nothing, Cao Ang was extremely anxious, and felt pity for Wei. Everyone has been searching for this long time, but Xiao Qin'er has no trace, and I am afraid that it will be a bad luck. Poor Mrs. Webster died early, and the life and death of his only son are unknown, such a kind woman is really ill-fated.

Cao Ang sighed, raised his eyes to look at the sky, and couldn't help but ask secretly in his heart: "The sage taught us to value the gentleman and despise the villain, to respect benevolence and righteousness and despise virtue. But in today's world, the wicked are at ease, and a good life is better than death, so who would be stupid enough to be a virtuous and virtuous person? Is this the saint wrong, or is the world wrong? ”

Cao Angzheng sighed in his heart, and suddenly a series of crisp children's voices came from the front: "Mother, I want Mother, woo woo woo ......" The crisp cry was full of fear. Cao Ang's heart was like a thunderbolt at first sight, his eyes instantly became cold, and he hurriedly ran forward.

Sure enough, in a simple gazebo, a man who looked to be in his forties sat calmly on the wooden pier in the gazebo, and a thin hand grabbed Xiao Qin'er's vest. Xiao Qin'er cried with a little face, and her two little short legs ran forward desperately, but it was always difficult to leave half a step, and her dark eyes showed obvious uneasiness and panic.

Cao Ang's eyes were about to split, and he rushed in, taking advantage of the man's unpreparedness, snatched Xiao Qin'er over and hugged him tightly in his arms. Xiao Qin'er had known Cao Ang for a long time, and when she arrived in Cao Ang's arms, she hugged Cao Ang's neck tightly with her hands and cried loudly.

Cao Ang was distressed, glaring at the man fiercely, and his expression was slightly stagnant at this look. But seeing that the man's figure is thin, there is not a few taels of flesh on his round face, his cheekbones are high and convex, the two inverted eight-figure eyebrows on his forehead add a little ferociousness, a pair of slitted eyes are dull, the red nose is like a garlic head on his face, the three-inch steel beard under the palate is piercing, and the green robe on his body is very loose, and the whole person looks like an unruly Ren Xia.

After Cao Ang paused slightly, his eyes erupted into flames and he reprimanded angrily: "The old thief dares to kill innocent children like this? ”

The man squinted his eyes at Cao Ang, his eyes flickered, he slowly stood up, looked at Cao Ang carefully, and said slowly: "Don't be a little offspring, which eye did you see the old man killing this little child?" ”

Cao Ang stabilized his mind, and his intuition told him that the person in front of him was definitely not human, and then replied in a deep voice: "This kid and you don't know each other, if you don't want to harm him, what are you trying to bring him here?" Besides, he wept so heartily that a little merciful man would have pity in his heart, how could he be as hard-hearted as you? ”

"Hmph," the man snorted coldly, and suddenly his face turned pale, and he said angrily: "Someone sprinkled in my house, not only beat a certain wife and nephew, but also threatened to beat the little girl, the old man was bullied like this, why not take revenge a little?" I just grabbed the kid and didn't scold him or hit him, which was much more polite than some people. ”

Cao Ang heard that he already knew the identity of the man in front of him, and hurriedly took a deep seat, and said: "The boy Cao Xuan has visited Mr. Huang, and he has offended a lot of talents, so please forgive Mr. ”

The man snorted twice and said impatiently: "What is Mr. not Mr., my surname is Huang Chengyan, you can call me Lao Huang, you can also call me Huang Chengyan, just don't call me Mr. Huang." And you have not sinned against me, and I need not forgive you. ”

Cao Ang was stunned, and felt quite funny in his heart, although this Huang Chengyan looked a little weird, but he didn't expect to be a deviant and unworldly person.

At the moment, he smiled freely and said: "Although Lao Huang said this, my brother Zhang and Wei were able to avoid a disaster thanks to Lao Huang's words and rescue, and I still have to thank you." ”

"It doesn't have to be." Huang Chengyan rolled his eyes, waved his hand again and again, and said in a hurried tone: "I didn't have the kindness to save you, the old man was just angry that the little vertical son of the Cai family was making a lot of nonsense in a certain house, so he reprimanded him." For you, the old man also has no good impression, you are making a lot of noise in my house, and you are even beating people, and you don't even take the old man seriously. So today I came to vent the evil anger, now the old man's anger has been out of most of it, little vertical son, you still quickly find a way to teach the old man to get angry, from then on you and I have two grievances, do not owe each other. ”

Cao Ang had never seen such a strange person, a little crying and laughing, suddenly his heart moved, his eyes rolled around, he made up his mind, simply closed his eyes, opened his mouth and said: "At the beginning of people, sex is good ......"

Huang Chengyan's eyes widened suddenly, and he immediately sat down lightly, his fingers rhythmically tapping on his thighs with Cao Ang's recitation, and his annoying head twitched from time to time, and his face showed a look of intoxication.

When Cao Ang recited, lines of small characters appeared in front of him, and he recited "Guangwuxing, for the Eastern Han Dynasty, four hundred years" in one breath, and it came to an abrupt end. Over there, Huang Chengyan stood up suddenly, staring at Cao Ang like a torch, and his dim old eyes were as bright as the sun.

"What do you mean by that?" Huang Chengyan's face was very ugly, and he was faintly hostile.

Cao Ang thought about the next three words, but fortunately he didn't say them, otherwise it would not be too much to directly classify him as a traitor, after all, although the heroes are now divided, they are still nominally subject to the rule of the royal family. Once Cao Ang said "finally dedicated", people with a heart could use this to attack Cao Ang for being suspicious and having the heart of a dead man, and even implicating Cao Cao.

"Emperor Gao pacified the world, set the capital of Chang'an, Chang'an in the west, so it was called the Western Han Dynasty. Emperor Guangwu swept the universe again, and set the capital of Luoyang, which was located in the east, so it was called the Eastern Han Dynasty. Cao Ang's back was dripping with cold sweat, and he tried his best to stabilize his mind and explained word by word.

"I'm talking about the back, each of your sentences is composed of four three words, what are the last three words of this sentence?" Huang Chengyan's eyes were still gloomy, staring at Cao Ang and asking.

"There was a commotion." Cao Ang's mind turned quickly, and he said three words under Huang Chengyan's gaze, and then said together with the previous three phrases: "Guangwuxing, for the Eastern Han Dynasty, four hundred years, chaos. Not later. ”
