The place selected by Che Huang and others is more than 40 miles away in the northwest of the valley, it is a mountain canyon three or four zhang wide and hundreds of zhang long, only one end can enter and exit, and at the end is a mountain stream and waterfall, the stream flows down the valley, and both sides are full of cliffs, as long as the exit is sealed, more than 20,000 livestock can be hidden.

With so many livestock, it is natural to consume a lot of hay every day, but fortunately, there are also a lot of manuscripts snatched by the grain trucks, as long as they can survive this year, and when spring comes, they can arrange for people to thresh grass by hand.

This canyon is called the Tibetan Cattle Valley in the valley, to be put up a grass shed for the livestock to shelter from the cold in winter, the grain trucks that were robbed together also moved here, and the auxiliary soldiers of the heart group were divided into two tuns, so that the lazy Gu and Ma Pi each brought a tun to take care of here, and they rotated once a month.

Ten days after Deng Ji announced the change, most of the granaries in the valley had been built, and the outside was indeed piled with firewood and grass as he said, ready to deal with the unexpected, and the closed valley opened up again.

After the opening of the valley, including the original tribe of the Wu family, the strong people were sent to the other side of the mountain to haul the coal, and Deng Ji counted the heads again every day at dusk, and all kinds of measures were really effective, and there were many people for several days in a row, and it was obvious that no one was willing to go to the informant, which made him feel a lot more relieved.

Of course, the threat is not only from the inside, at this time, Deng Ji felt that he knew too little about the surrounding intelligence, in order to learn more about the outside world, he sent Che Huang and Han Qi to Zhang Yan to receive the post-war share he had promised.

In addition to receiving food, this team is tasked with finding out all kinds of news, this is a delicate job, and the strong man is naturally not that material, but he knows much more about the Taihang group of thieves than others, so he is responsible for leading the way, and Han Qi is responsible for implementing it.

In addition to Zhang Yan's place, the nearest bandit is a hundred miles north of the valley, and there are several bandit armies that are not strong, so they arrange for the old thieves who are familiar with the terrain to contact and listen to various news by the way.

After all kinds of useful and useless information were collected and sorted out, Deng Ji learned that after the matter of robbing the grain was returned, another Lei Gong had really suffered an injustice, and had been called by Zhang Pingnan to question, he naturally swore to confess in every possible way, and asked Zhang Pingnan to send someone to his lair to carefully investigate, and sure enough, there was no clue, but such a large sum of food disappeared, and the only clue was the title of Lei Gong, that is, Zhang Yan gradually began to be unable to suppress, Lei Gong's Ministry has been constantly harassed by the rest of the ministries recently, and the loss has been not small, which has provoked Lei Gong to jump like thunder. He threatened that if he knew who had framed him, he would be skinned and bruised.

More than 700,000 stone grains, more than 20,000 livestock, such a large number of things will disappear in Taihang, no one believes it, there is no large number of bandits in Luxian County, there is no object of suspicion at all, it is said that Zhang Pingnan thinks that it is the wealthy families in the surrounding counties in the name of the Black Mountain thieves, because only they can know the secret way of the Wu family, and only they will let the Wu family be willing to cooperate, those grain and livestock are not necessarily hidden in the mountains of Taihang, and now they are scouting and riding out to visit the wealthy families in various places.

It's not that Zhang Yan is careless, but this action is too amazing, no one wants to believe that it was done by a group of small bandits, knowing that the children of the Wu family were captured by the bandits, only the officers and soldiers of Lu County have been captured, but they already know that it was Lei Gong who robbed the grain, so they will think of going elsewhere.

This is good news, with Zhang Yan's guidance, all the departments in Montenegro can't suspect themselves for the time being, and Deng Ji paid attention to other news.

On the general trend of the world, Taihang Zhongju rumored that Zhang Wen and Dong Zhuo had defeated Bian Zhang and Han Sui in Xiliang last year, and now in addition to Zhang Yan, the black mountain thief, it can be regarded as peaceful in the world.

In addition to these, whether it was the Yellow Turban before or now Montenegro admires the heroes and heroes, so the celebrities in the north have also heard a lot, except for those who do not recognize, he has seen Tian Feng, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao with his own eyes, and it is rumored that Tian Feng was captured by thieves and is missing; Zhao Yun is a county official of Changshan County and is very popular; The young man he saw should be Zhang Liao, after the famous minister Nie Yi, he changed his surname to Zhang to avoid revenge and became a county official in Yanmen; After Liu Bei of Zhuojun whipped the post, he abandoned the official and fled without knowing where he was; Lü Bu was a county official in Wuyuan County, tried to fight with the Xiongnu, and was already famous for his martial arts at this time; frustrated to make a county order in Julu County; Hejian County's heroes Zhang He and Gao Lan are not small; The judge is a famous person in Yin'an of Wei County, and he is still reciting at home; Yingchuan celebrity Xin Ping has just moved his family to Yecheng, and it is said that he also has a brother named Xin Bi......

After learning a lesson, Deng Ji has lost much passion for these celebrities now, and he will no longer run all the way to ask people if they are willing to be thieves, it is better to do things in a down-to-earth manner.

——

After the rest of the month, at noon.

After a long period of desolation, the ground has become a little hard, but it cannot stop the sharp ploughshares, and together with the weeds and artemisia branches that have withered on the ground, they have been turned into two neat rows of furrows.

"Pu'er, ten catties, let's rest and do it again!"

Today has been ploughed two acres of land, although the October sun is no longer scorching, but I am afraid that two children with the same heart and liver will be affected, when the plough is finished, the white-haired old man waved away the sweat and stopped.

"Okay, grandpa!"

In front of the old ox, the fat eight-year-old boy turned around, answered crisply, and when the old man lifted the plough off the ground, he pulled the animal to the tree next to the ground and tied it.

This old ox was carefully selected by the old man, and his temperament was very docile, and children could make it obedient, and his strength was not bad, but he saved a lot of effort. There was also a sack at the foot of the tree, which contained the artemisia that he had brought with him when he went out, and the little boy poured some out for the old cow to chew.

The little girl who was in charge of sowing seeds in the back was about ten years old, and her body was a little thin, she finished spreading the ploughed land in three or two times, and also walked over, and raised her chin at a few young people who were resting under the trees in the distance, and said angrily: "Grandpa, look at those lazy people, they haven't finished plowing two ridges in half a day!" ”

The field was full of toiling people, and the teenagers had been at the foot of the tree, which naturally attracted the attention of the little girl, and the old man glanced over there, frowned and sighed: "Don't care about them, that's your pimple eldest brother's wife's mother's family, those are rich and noble, and our Li Min in short shirts is not ordinary!" ”

The little boy tied up the old cow, turned around and said to the girl: "Ten catties, the master has been taught, that is called a relative, in our valley and the butcher general He Jin in the court!" ”

"Anyway, I'm glaring when I look at it," the little girl thought about it, but she still couldn't understand why these lazy people were the same as General He, so she didn't pay attention to it, and when she reacted to the name of the little boy's mouth just now, she stepped forward and grabbed his fat ears, and raised her eyebrows: "Ten catties is also what you called?" It's against you! ”

"It hurts, it hurts!" The fat boy immediately bared his teeth and cried out, but refused to beg for mercy: "Grandpa said that when I am older, he will promise you to be a woman to me, why can't I call it?" ”

"That's what Grandpa said to coax you!" The little girl is older than the boy, and she already understands the meaning of being a woman a little dimly, and her little face is a little crimson, so she looks around carefully, but fortunately no one pays attention to this, for fear that he will shout again for people to hear, so she let go after pulling it twice harder.

The boy covered his little ears and cried out in pain, and the old man rested at the foot of the tree by himself, just watching with a smile, letting the two children play and play.

The old man's surname is Gu, because he looks hunchbacked and spiritless on weekdays, others call him Gu Laoyan, a native of Nanyang, and his son and daughter-in-law are all dead in the run, only the girl called ten catties is his own granddaughter, and the little boy is an orphan picked up after the first war in Xiaquyang.

When everyone can't eat enough, choosing a child he doesn't know is adding a burden to himself, and there are many jokes about him, but he gritted his teeth and led the two children to survive.

There are too many partings of life and death in the troubled times, people have learned how to be happy in suffering from numbness, when they first picked up the little boy named Pu'er, his mother had just died, and the child had not spoken a word for dozens of days.

The boy's surname is Wu, and the nickname given by his parents is reluctant to mention again, and a few days after arriving at the school, Master Yang Tian gave him a big name, and Tian Feng still didn't care about this little thing, so he gave a simple word.

Although he is small, Wu Pu is very sensible, and he is not beaten by his master much in the school, and he is also diligent enough when he practices martial arts with Deng Pimple at night, Gu Laoyan really likes it, and he is hurt when his grandson-in-law hurts, but he accidentally said that he leaked his mouth to let him hear, so he often used it as a means to deal with ten catties.

"Grandpa, drink saliva!"

Thinking of him, the little guy was busy handing over the water bladder made of donkey urine bubbles, Gu Laoyan took a sip and handed it back: "You also drink, the water is cold, and don't be too anxious!" ”

After being tired, he avoided drinking rapid water, and when he saw the two obediently taking small sips in turn, Gu Laoyan smiled.

Since the fourteen-year-old half-old boy became his own Qu Shuai, no matter whether he is old or weak or strong, he seems to have never been idle, and he always has to do one thing after another, no, as soon as Xiaoyangchun began in October, the people of the whole valley were called to plant winter wheat on the barren land, and the whole Wu clan arrived, and two masters were added to the school, but they stopped for a few days and let the children come to the field to help.

There is so much grain in the valley, and you still have to farm? In this regard, many people complain, Gu Laoyan doesn't care, isn't it just farming? Those who have never been hungry don't know the gold of grains, and in this regard, Gu Laoyan feels that his knowledge of pimples is not bad.
