"Daddy"

"What?"

"Why do you have to bring so many skins?"

"Some of these skins are the skins handed over to the head of the official mansion in the workshop. The other part is Daddy's apprenticeship to Uncle Yan. ”

A few days later, Xin Laosan took Xiaohuzi out of the tunzi. This time, he is going to take Xiaohuzi to the largest Jizi Cattle Market within dozens of miles. By the way, he also wants to bring some good skins that he has hunted in the past few months, and go to the workshop to exchange some salt. Salt can only be exchanged for salt in the local government's designated bazaar.

For them, the Yan court is a tun people living in the old forest. When their ancestors hid in the mountains and forests of Daxingyun, they thought that they would fend for themselves. But what I didn't expect was that the ancestors of the Tun people did not die out because of this. On the contrary, it has multiplied in this harsh environment, deep in the mountains and old forests. Gradually, the descendants of these remnants of the previous dynasty formed the Tun people who took the old forest as their home. Scattered in the old forests of Daxingyun Mountain.

For the first time, the Tun people were noticed by the imperial court. It is because of the large amount of fur they hunt in Daxingyun Mountain every year. In the past, the Tun people could directly exchange their skins for a lot of benefits with the merchants. Therefore, the former Tun people, although they lived in the old forest. But he can also make a living by hunting, and he has exchanged the hunted skins for a lot of wealth. But with the attention of the imperial court, it came to the skin in the hands of the Tun people. The once prosperous life of the Tun people is gone.

The imperial government immediately promulgated regulations restricting merchants from going to Laolin to buy and sell. Only the official servants and the caravans of the scholars were qualified to trade skins with the Tun people. While restricting the sale of skins, the imperial court also added the so-called leather registration and leather tax regulations to the Tun people. Although the people in the old forest, because most of them live in the old forest of Daxing Yunshan. Therefore, it is obviously impossible to collect the skins in the hands of the Tun people.

But there is a good way for the people of Tun to be willing to go out of the old forest to pay the skin. That's official salt! In the past, the Tun people were also able to exchange their skins for salt from the merchants who traveled to and from the mountains and forests of Daxing. However, with the merchants coming and going, it was expressly forbidden by the imperial court. Instead, there were caravans sent only by the government, messengers, and scholars. And those who can exchange salt are only sent by the government from then on.

The errand officers sent by the government often exchanged the coarse sand and sea salt without any screening for the skin in the hands of the tun people. The Tun people also used this kind of government, and the government maintained it in the form of exchanging skin for salt, and at the same time in exchange for salt, they paid a part of the skin as the leather tax of the leather households. For hundreds of years, the imperial court and the local government have been constantly exploiting, these Tun people living in the forests of Daxingyun Mountain. The local government and the local scholars who were rich in their own pockets also often relied on the cheap skins in the hands of the Tun people to accumulate huge wealth.

Subsequently, the life of the people in Tun became more and more difficult. But because he is a descendant of the remnants of the previous dynasty, he is also a descendant of the remnants of the previous dynasty, and the identity of the generation set by the imperial court government is the identity of the leather household. As a result, they were not allowed to leave Daxingyun Mountain, and they could only live in Daxingyun Mountain for generations.

And now Xin Laosan and Xiaohuzi father and son are going to the bull market. It is the largest collection in this old forest, except for the Changjia set that was exterminated by the wolf head. The cattle market is named after the large number of cattle bought and sold, especially the most cattle. Although it is not comparable, the Changjia family, which had a scale of thousands of people, was large. But it's also a big collection with hundreds of people's lives. Therefore, the official servants also used the cattle market to set up a salt house for the collection of the tun people's skin tax.

Looking at the little tiger who was also carrying a few thick and good skins, Xin Laosan was also very pleased. His baby, although only four years old, is also very acquainted! And at a young age, the strength is not small! can have the same strength as the big and strong who is several years older than him in the tunzi! It's really like what he looked like when he was a child.

If this continues, Xiaohuzi is afraid that he will not reach adulthood. There is no problem with being able to open a wooden bow that is half a stone small. Then he Xin Laosan is really a successor! He has a good ability to use a stone bow in his hand, if nothing else. The little tiger must have been opened!

Thinking of this, Xin Laosan's mood was much better. Since a few days ago, he and the little tiger have returned from the small grave of the cuckoo. He was in a mess for days. I can only keep pouring myself some drinks in the past few days. to relieve the anguish in your heart! Since the cuckoo left, he has started a life of drinking a lot. Instead, let a tunzi exchange skins for drinks for the big guys, and Liu Mazi's face added a lot of good skin.

In the past two years, it has been thanks to the care of the Niu family's mother-in-law. Xiaohuzi can grow up so strongly. And the mother-in-law of the Niu family really came to see Xiaohuzi as her own child. This also made Xin Laosan feel relieved that he had readily agreed to the calf, and Xiaohuzi and the second girl of the Niu family kissed the baby. Oh, yes! When Xiaohuzi grows up, he wants to ask the daughter of the Niu family to be her mother-in-law. The mother-in-law of the Niu family really takes Xiaohuzi and this little aunt very well. And the second girl of the Niu family, although she is young. But it's really like that, it hurts Xiaohuzi.

"Daddy! Dad! Look! That! There! What a big tunzi! Little Huzi excitedly used one hand to pull Daddy's trouser leg. The other hand kept shouting at a looming tunzi.

Xin Laosan had also seen the faintly visible tunzi a long time ago. That's where he and Xiaohuzi are going today. That's the Bull Market.

Xin Laosan: "Huzi, that's the Bull Market Fang." ”

"What a big tunzi! It's bigger than us, it's bigger than us, it's much bigger! Xiaohuzi said.

Xiaohuzi said excitedly: "Now! I'm going to the Bull Market too! Hey! Now, there is no need to keep asking about the eldest girl, the second girl, and Sister Queer, and Brother Heizi and Brother Da Zhuang! Hey! ”

Xin Laosan listened to Xiaohuzi's excited words, and inevitably felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. Oh, yes! Xiaohuzi is four years old, and he hasn't brought him to the Bull Market once when he just gave birth to Xiaohuzi. He said to the juanzi who was holding the little tiger that when the little tiger was older, he would take her and the little tiger to the bull market.

But what I didn't expect was that after giving birth to the little tiger, the body and bones were not as good as day by day. Because of this, he still has the heart to bring Xiaohuzi to the Bull Market? In the two years that followed, he only tried his best to hunt in the woods, trying his best to forget about the deceased. But he really didn't take care of this daddy!

Although the good meat he hunted by himself was eaten by Xiaohuzi. But he forgot that Xiaohuzi didn't just want to eat well. It's really thanks to the Niu family's mother-in-law who has taken care of her over the years! Xiaohuzi is getting stronger and stronger day by day. In fact, Xin Laosan also knows that even if Xiaohuzi did not marry the second girl of the Niu family. The Niu family will still help take care of Xiaohuzi like this. Because Xin Laosan's ability to see people is also very accurate. He knows that the calf and the cow's mother-in-law are really kind-hearted people. It is precisely because of this that he can become good brothers with the calf!

Xin Laosan thought about it, and said to the little Huzi who was still very excited: "Huzi, I will be at the Bull Market in a while." Whatever you want, Daddy will buy it for you! ”

Xiaohuzi listened to Daddy's words, and jumped around with joy. Although at this time, he had already followed Daddy and walked dozens of miles. And on his back, he also carried several thick skins. But it still didn't make him less happy: "Daddy! Dad! I want a little drum like Brother Kuroko! Little drums! ”

Xin Laosan smiled and said, "Okay! After a while, we arrived at the bull market. When you pay the leather tax to the official officer, I will buy you a small drum to play! ”

Little Huzi: "Daddy! I, I still have to buy some things for the eldest girl and the second sister! ”

"Hahahaha! Yes! Xin Lao Sandao. He didn't expect that Xiaohuzi was still thinking about the sisters of the Niu family.

The father and son talked and laughed and walked towards the bull market. After walking some more way, Xin Laosan and Xiaohuzi came to the Niushi Fang. The huge Fang City is really much bigger than the father and son who lived, and there were only a dozen or so small tunzi. Before Xin Laosan and Xiaohuzi entered the market. You can hear the noise coming from the market. It's really hilarious!

The Bull Market is a collection formed in a relatively flat mountainous area. Like most Tunzi people, they are built on a place with a water source. Not far from the bull market is a flowing river fork. Although the former Changjiaji was not built according to the place where there was a water source. But in the set, there are several big wells. Unlike Changjiaji, there is no tall stone wall on the outside of the Niushifang. Instead, they smashed wooden stakes into the ground and put them on a fence of wooden boards. This wooden stake fence is not as strong as the earth and stone wall of Changjiaji. But it can also be very well resisted, and those fur and horned guys in the forest will attack.

In particular, the bull market is a market that mainly buys and sells large livestock. If it's night, suddenly some meat-eating guys come. If you don't have an idea to prevent it, then won't it all become a piece of meat in the mouth of those guys with hair and horns?

The little tiger who entered the Fang City looked around from time to time. It was the first time he had seen so many people! The bustling noise made the four-year-old little tiger dizzying. He'd never seen so many people together! There are also some babies who run around from time to time while walking with Daddy! He is also the first time he has seen other babies except for the friends in the tunzi! Just the clothes worn by those babies are different from what they are wearing!

And what makes Xiaohuzi look at it the most is the stalls in the market that buy small things! There were all sorts of little things he had never seen before. It really made him look greedy! He was still in those little objects, and he saw the kind of small drums that Brother Kuroko had!

But what I didn't expect was that in addition to the kind of small drums like the one that Brother Kuroko has. There are so many kinds of small drums of different colors! And the drums are big and small! Listen to the stall owner hawking and the drumbeat. It really makes Xiaohuzi's heart scratch like a dog's paws!

"Huzi, I'm going to go to the salt house where I changed the salt soon. When we get some salt, I'll buy you a little drum!" Then we're going to see your Uncle Yan! Xin Laosan looked at the little tiger who was dangling in front of and behind him and smiled.

Xiaohuzi heard that Daddy exchanged the skin for salt, so he took himself to buy a small drum! What a joy! And to Daddy's last sentence, and then let's go see your Uncle Yan again, but I really left it behind. He wants to exchange salt with Daddy as soon as possible, so that he can buy a small drum!
