The burly man who carried the burden put it down in front of the shade where Xin Huzi and the three of them were. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info smiled and said to Zhu Huiyan. And the young beautiful woman who came behind him, after her man put down his burden, helped to take out the hot cakes in the basket and a few soup dishes in a large earthen bowl and share them with Xin Huzi and the three of them.

"Haha! You're welcome! ”

Zhu Hui said with a smile, and then took the hot cake from the young woman's hand and ate it with a big gulp. When eating soup cakes, he didn't forget, greeting Xin Huzi beside him, and Ah Zhuo on the side: "Huzi!" Azhuo! We need to eat more! After eating this hot meal, maybe tonight's next meal, I will have to eat a cold stove! ”

Ah Zhuo still ignored Zhu Hui, and when the young beauty handed him the hot cake and a bowl of soup, he didn't forget to thank him. It's much stronger than other soldiers who eat under the shade of other trees, and don't have half a cent of etiquette at all. And his words are not spoken in the Xiao local dialect, but in the official language. Inevitably, the young beautiful woman looked at him a few more times. felt that Ah Zhuo's words and deeds did not look like a military man.

At this time, Xin Huzi was a little unable to eat, and the cakes and soup dishes in his hands. But at this time, in front of him, the little girl was still there, staring at him with big round and curious eyes, watching him eat soup cakes. Xin Huzi, who is very unaccustomed to being watched and eaten, is a little unsure of what to do.

Just when he was distressed, the young beautiful woman seemed to see Xin Huzi's embarrassment at this time. So he smiled and pulled the little girl to his side and whispered to the little girl. But the little girl was still there, looking at Xin Huzi who was eating soup cakes from time to time.

"This brother, your mother-in-law and baby are very handsome! How blessed you are! ”

Although Zhu Hui kept eating soup cakes, his mouth was still not idle. While eating soup cakes, he chatted with the young man with a smile on his face.

"Huh! That's what the military master said! That's right! ”

When the young man heard Zhu Hui's words, he replied with a smile.

"Brother from this village?"

Zhu Hui looked not far away, and asked the houses in the township.

The young man shook his head: "No! No! I don't live in this township, I'm from my hometown. In reply, the young man took the linen sweat towel around his neck, picked up a corner very casually, and wiped it on his sweaty head and face. Only then did he continue: "I got a letter from the military master and rushed over with me from the township." ”

Zhu Hui didn't want to, this man was not from his hometown, but he came from another village. So he was a little puzzled and asked: "Since you are not from this township, why do you come all the way to this township to bring us food?" Don't... What good is it to give us soldiers, food? ”

The middle-aged man was a little embarrassed, scratched his head and smiled: "Actually, it's not too far." My village is on the west side of this village. If the military master walked west, he would be able to see it. It's just a few fields in the countryside. As for why you came here to bring food to the soldiers... Hehe~ We just need to give this soup cake to the military master. Then the taxes we pay to the government can be reduced... So as soon as this letter reached our village. It's not just my family that's busy, it's also busy at home. Master Jun, look at the Han women who came to deliver food, in fact, most of them are from my township..."

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Before the young man could finish speaking, the young beautiful woman who was whispering to the little girl interrupted his chatter, and said a little complainingly. But I'm afraid that my man will tell the military man everything, and if he says the wrong thing, it will be bad!

"Uh... Also, that's it... Huh..."

The young man was interrupted by his wife, and he immediately retorted. Although there were some anticlimactic words, it also made Zhu Hui understand.

"Huh?! So, that's what you say... The man we sent to explore the horses asked this village to prepare a meal. This is ready to come and go... In the end, are you going to go to your village? But isn't this, right? Since you have prepared food for us, you can reduce the taxes of the government. Then why are there not as many people who deliver food in this township as you come from other towns? This..."

Zhu Hui said a little strangely. He didn't want these men and women who came to bring them soup cakes to carry the burden, and most of them came from neighboring villages, not from their own villages. But from this man's mouth, he also learned that if they sent soup cakes, they would be able to get some tax reductions from the government, which was also very cost-effective. But since there is a tax reduction and exemption from the government, why are there not as many people who come to deliver soup cakes in this township as there are people from the township? It's weird!

"This brother, your countryman is not in charge of a monk, is he?"

Without waiting for Zhu Hui to figure out the reason, Ah Zhuo, who was sitting on the other side of Xin Huzi, asked the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man nodded and replied, "Yes!" My township is not under the control of the monks and masters. ”

Ah Zhuo nodded slightly: "That's right..."

"yes, what's right? Azhuo, you kid asked that country..."

Zhu Huigang said something halfway through, but it came to an abrupt end. He remembered what this kid Zhuo had just said... Did this kid just say... This township is in harmony and is managed by monks. But, but this tax is not .. Can't it be managed by the monk?! But this, that's not right?! How can there be taxes that are not collected by the government?! Even those in the sky, the farmer of the farmer's family's family has to pay some government taxes! How...

"Humph! You still don't understand? The village where this brother came was governed by the county government of this state. Naturally, you have to pay taxes to the government. But since this township is under the management of the monk, then the tax will naturally have to be handed over to the monk. Since the taxes in this township are all handed over to the monks. Who cares about the government's tax reductions? If I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid that this township will be in our country, and the scouts sent by us will come back. So he let people go to this brother's house, the village that is under the control of the government. Tell them the news that we are coming. This township, which is taxed by the government, will naturally rush to us in order to reduce some taxes. ”

Zhuo said as he pondered. Zhu Hui, who listened to Ah Zhuo's words, really didn't expect that there would be so many ways here! What made him even more unbelievable was that this township was not only managed by those bald monks... Even the taxes of the government can be collected by themselves! I've never heard of it before!

"Hey, hey! That's what the military master said! That's it! The monks in this township got a letter from the military masters. I rode to our township, and the generals came to say. This is not? As soon as everyone in the township got the letter, as soon as the hot soup and hot cakes came out of the stove, they immediately picked them up and sent them to the military masters! It's still hot! How many military masters~ What's up? Are the soup cakes made at home delicious? ”

As he spoke, the young man handed another piece of cake to Zhu Hui, who was about to finish it in his hand.

Zhu Hui hurriedly took the cake and nodded in praise: "Not bad!" Very tasty! Hey! If you want to say that this soup cake, it is still hot and fragrant! This has been in a hurry since it entered the realm of your ancestral state! If you don't go to the county or the township, you don't eat cold stoves on the road! I've been eating these days, and my appetite is not good! If I can eat your hot meal today, it can be regarded as a blessing for me to come to the state! You said no? Toilet? ”

"Hmm!"

Xin Huzi asked with Zhu Hui, and answered while eating soup cakes.

"Amitabha."

At this time, a Buddha horn came from not far away. With the sound of this Buddha horn, the men who came with the burden, and the women who accompanied them. They all hurriedly stopped, helping the soldiers in the shade of the trees, delivering soup and cakes. They all knelt on the ground reverently, folded their hands and bowed silently to the monk who recited the Buddha's name.

Looking at the scene in front of him, the soldiers who were still in the shade of the trees just now, eating soup cakes and laughing, were also a little overwhelmed. I couldn't help but stop, eating and drinking in my hands, and looked at the strange scene in front of me. As a result, the shade of a tree next to the township, which was still very lively just now, gradually quieted down.

The old monk who came to talk to the military general just now. But he was clasping his hands between his thumbs and holding the hundred and eight beads hanging around his neck. He kept reciting obscure scriptures and walked slowly towards the village.

And the monks who came with him also followed. The same mouth opened slightly and chanted something silently. When the old monk who came forward passed by the men and women who had come to deliver soup cakes. It will attract men and women to kowtow respectfully to it. So he got up and folded his hands again, and watched the old monk go away.

"This, this is..."

Looking at the scene in front of him, Zhu Hui, who felt a little incredible, couldn't help muttering to himself. And the young man who was chatting with him just now, as well as his wife and daughter, also knelt on the ground respectfully and kowtowed to the old monk who walked by.

Xin Huzi also looked at the novelty, especially when he saw the little girl who had just returned to him and sent cakes to eat, she also followed her father and mother in style, kneeling on the ground with a pair of small hands folded, kowtowing to the old monk who walked in front of her, and felt even more fresh. Thus he also looked at the old monk in the patched clothes.

Somehow the old monk somehow. At the moment when Xin Huzi looked at him, he was just stumbling for no reason. If it weren't for the ones behind him, the accompanying monks would have quick eyes. hurriedly stepped forward and held it up, and if he couldn't say anything, he would not be able to stand firmly on the ground.

"Poof!"

Seeing that the old monk was almost making a fool of himself, he was very happy for Zhu Hui. I almost couldn't hold back my laughter. And the soldiers who were also hiding in the shade of the trees also secretly chuckled. But the men and women who were still kneeling on the ground were still unmoved by that pious appearance.

An old monk who felt that he had lost face in front of the military man. Although he was depressed in his heart, he still pretended to be and continued to walk forward with his steps and reciting obscure scriptures. It wasn't until the monks who accompanied him had left that the shade of the trees resumed, and the bustle that had disappeared just now was restored.

Wait for Xin Huzi, Zhu Hui and Ah Zhuo to finish this soup cake. After resting for a while, he heard the order, but it was time to set out again. When the queue was about to start the march again, the villagers who had brought food from the neighboring villages gave the remaining cakes to the soldiers who were about to set off.

"Huh?! I forgot to ask just now, what is the name of that girl. ”

Until you follow the road of the house next to the country and continue to leave. Xin Huzi, who suddenly remembered something, suddenly muttered to himself.

"What? You kid has a crush on that little girl? ~”

Zhu Hui, who was carrying the golden dragon flag on a red background, joked to Xin Huzi while walking.

Xin Huzi shook his head, and couldn't help but glance at the stone-walled courtyard not far in front of him.
