Xin Huzi, who had crossed the back of the ditch, came to the slope of the mountain that was still a little far away from the ditch Tunzi under the leadership of Hu Laozi and the men of Yezhazigou. Looking down from the hillside, he saw a very small tunzi, which appeared in front of his eyes.

And this tunzi is very different from other tunzi. That is, this tunzi is not a wooden house tunzi mainly made of wood. Most of the houses are made of stone. A stone wall divided into several sections encloses the tunzi. But it is also very particular, and it is not crowded at all.

Around this stone house, among the empty mountains, there are many large and small fields. Some looming figures are busy going back and forth in the fields. There are also some cattle and sheep scattered in the mountains, driven by human figures, wandering back and forth in the ravines between the mountains. However, there is a great contrast with the mountains and patches of Zazi grass on the mountain outside the ditch. But I don't want to be just separated by a mountain inside and outside, it's like two worlds!

Hu Yuzi just said a few words to Zhou Dabao, who was walking beside him. Seeing Xin Huzi standing on the hillside, he looked at the tunzi under the hillside with some stunnedness. He was very proud and smiled at Xin Huzi: "Huzi, this is our Yezha Gouzitun." It's our old / Hu family, the tunzi in this ditch. Hey! I think that when we were grandfathers, I pulled a large family and came to this ditch to start a tunzi. Relying on the reversal of several generations of our Hu family, we have such a big tunzi today. But well~ Now this tunzi can have such a situation, thanks to my big brother's ability! Even the eldest man in Guan Li, who is in the government and is an official, is the son-in-law of my eldest brother. Over the years, our ditch has already replaced the wooden house that was built in the past with the stone one it is now. Which house, not all covered and in the forest, those other old rich people, can only get a stone house? ”

Hu Laozi said a little ostentatiously, and then looked at the good brother Zhou Dabao who was standing beside him: "I said Brother Dabaozi, if you kid was willing to listen to me and stay." If you don't go to the cattle market to do the work of the Kua family, how can you build your own stone house in the ditch now. Hey! You kid just don't listen to me, you have to go! ”

Zhou Dabao laughed and said, "Brother Slipper, although I can't live in the stone house in the ditch. But isn't there still you? With such a good brother as you, I'm still afraid that when I come to the ditch, I won't have a place to live? ”

Hu Yuzi listened to Zhou Dabao's words, and nodded in response: "That's natural, are we two good brothers?" Who are you looking for in the ditch? Alright! Alright! Let's not just stand on this slope and rest. I went down to Tunzi earlier, so I should go to my house early, and wait to eat sheep and drink! ”

Under the greeting of Hu Luozi, everyone walked to the tunzi under the hillside. Because they have now climbed over the back of the ditch, which is very difficult to walk. Now that I have come to this mountain, it is much easier to walk. Even the wild grass growing everywhere on the back of the mountain is no longer very common after coming to this inside. And they are condescending, going down the slope from the heights. The journey is several times faster than coming from the back of the mountain.

As a result, in less than half an hour, he had already come to the tunzi at the foot of the mountain. When I came down, I happened to run into some, who were also sent out to patrol the mountains. But they all saw Hu Luozi, the uncle of the young master of the Hu family, and greeted them politely. As for those who suddenly followed Hu Laozi, Xin Huzi and Zhou Dabao, they are not the faces of Tunzi. also because it was Hu Yuzi who brought them, so he didn't ask much.

When the group came to Tunkou, they could also hear the faint shouts from the side of the tunzi. Hu Luozi smiled and said to Xin Huzi: "Huzi, did you hear that?" This movement is my nephew, who is practicing with the young man in the tunzi. Let's go! Go to the tunzi, the empty field in the shade. They're just practicing guys there. ”

Xin Huzi nodded slightly, but he didn't say much. Along the way, he said very little. Instead, he left the part of talking on the road to Hu Laozi and Zhou Dabao, good brothers who have not seen each other for a long time. And the men in the ditch who followed Hu Luozi also listened to it a lot. didn't intervene much, but let Hu Yuzi, who came all the way, talk to Zhou Dabao.

"Fuck! Why are you so soft! Is it the man in our ditch?! This iron knife weighs only a few catties! Why do you pick it up, they all look like! On weekdays, when you are in your own fields, when you plow the ground with the iron guys, I have never seen you work so hard! Give Ben a little more attention! Practice hard today, and at night I will call the tunzi to slaughter a few big sheep for everyone to eat! Give this big and young envoy a lot of power! ”

In a small open space in Shiweizi next to Tunzi, a fat boy of seventeen or eighteen years old who was sweating bareback was shouting loudly at dozens of young men in the field, all of whom were also barearmed. In the fat boy's hand, he also carried a very rough rough-forged ring-headed iron knife. Although the knife is very rough forged, the edge is very sharp.

And the young men who stood on the field were also sweating profusely, and they were all very hard, holding the ring-headed iron knives in their hands, which were also each in their hands, and they shouted and cut down the wooden stakes in front of them.

The fat boy was born white, and at first glance he knew that he was a master who didn't work very hard. He was himself, walking back and forth in the field, and from time to time he did the same, waving the ring-headed knife in his hand and slashing a few times. But he didn't exert much effort. Instead, they stared at these, and the young men in the field were very hard-working, wielding the ring-headed iron knives in their hands, chopping the wooden stakes in front of them.

"Fumiko! Fumiko! ”

Just as the fat boy was still walking around the field, walking back and forth in the field. But I heard the shouts from outside the venue. When the fat boy heard this shout, he couldn't help but turn his head and look at the shouter who had already come in front of him.

"I said uncle. Why did you come back from the mountains at this time? Didn't I ask you to take people and look at them on the back of our Gouzi Mountain? What's the matter?"

Before the fat boy could finish his sentence, his eyes widened in disbelief. But he saw Xin Huzi who came later, and was stunned for a while. He laughed, ran in front of Xin Huzi in a few steps, and said loudly with joy: "You, why are you here?!" It's a good time to come. Come up at this juncture, aren't you afraid of meeting the wolf leader on the way and slashing the wolf leader? I've been telling you for so many years, and you kid hasn't come to me once. Why do you think of me now? That's good! That's good! It's good to be here! Ha ha! You're here! ”

Seeing that the fat boy and Xin Huzi were so close, it made everyone around them a little uncomfortable. They, the eldest young master in the ditch, are notoriously ungood-looking. But I don't want to be so close to such a young man who is not good-looking.

And Hu Luozi, who was standing on the side, took the opportunity to say to the fat boy: "See? Fumiko. I'm not lazy, isn't this bringing you back? I've already brought it to you, so I'll go back first. ”

The fat boy nodded to Hu Yanzi with a smile and said, "Haha! Then you can go back! Uncle! You've been wandering around the woods all day, so go back! ”

Hu Laozi glanced at the men who were standing beside him and his good brother Zhou Dabao. Then he walked to the outside with those men.

Zhou Dabao said to Huzi before leaving: "Huzi, I'm going to your Uncle Hu's house." If you have anything to do with me, let Dashao send someone to your Uncle Hu's house to call me. ”

Xin Huzi said: "Uncle Zhou, thanks to you along the way." ”

Zhou Dabao laughed: "Say thank you, I came to the ditch, and I happened to have a few bowls with the brother of the slipper." He has added a handle to his family, and I haven't seen it yet. ”

"Ohako, stop the ink. Come on! ”

"Here we go! Come on! ”

With Zhou Dabao also following, Hu Yuzi came out of the field. At this time, there was only one left, Xin Huzi and the topless fat boy standing together. The fat boy looked at Xin Huzi in front of him with interest, but he didn't say anything.

Xin Huzi: "Fat Hu, I'm here this time." I'm here to help me."

Hu Fatzi waved his hand, but stopped Xin Huzi's words: "Don't say anything yet." Anything is easy to do! Since you kid is here with me, you have to drink a few bowls with me! Or it's hard to say anything! ”

As Hu Fatzi spoke, he faced Du Du one by one, because Hu Fatzi and Xin Huzi were talking. And looking at this side curiously, the knives in their hands were also the same, and the young men who slowed down said loudly: "You guys practice by yourself first, my good brother is here!" I'll go back first! If you dare to be lazy, I won't slaughter the big fat sheep tonight! So that you don't have sheep to eat! ”

As soon as everyone heard Da Shao's words, they all worked very hard, picked up the knives in their hands, and continued to chop at the wooden stakes in front of them. They have already sold their strength and cut down on this Rausch wood. But don't come, if you can't eat a lot, the sheep you promise will be blind! It was over until Hu Dashao and Xin Huzi left the field. The young men in the field were still working very hard, picking up the knives in their hands and cutting them on the wooden stakes.

Until a young girl holding a large bundle of hay trotted into the yard and whispered to everyone: "The eldest young master is far away with that guest!" ”

Only then did the words of the messenger make the young men in the entire field sit on the ground one by one, gasping for breath and resting. The young lady put it down, and the large bundle of hay in her arms, fumbled and took one out of the hay, puffed up the cowhide bag, and walked towards a young man who was sitting on the ground resting.

When she came to the young man's side, she crouched down and pulled out the cover of the cowhide sac, and while handing it to the young man, she said softly to the man, "Drink." ”
