July in Guanzhong is completely different from Lingnan, July in Lingnan is humid and sultry, while Guanzhong is scorching hot, especially Chang'an in Guanzhong, located in the plain, surrounded by mountains, not a trace of wind can be seen, the hot sun is like a huge fireball hanging high in the sky, scorching the pedestrians who are in a hurry on the cement road.

Licking the corners of his mouth, a young man felt some hair fluttering under his feet, he knew that he seemed to be suffering from heat stroke, but he still pushed the bricks of this cart, this cart of bricks, but it was fifty yuan, for the father of the foot of the family, the mother of the pig, this money is the hope that a large family can continue to live.

"Shu, what's wrong with you?" After the young man finished pushing the bricks, his whole body seemed to fall apart, and he staggered to a shady corner, leaning there, panting heavily. It wasn't until a middle-aged man with a beard passed by the corner that he noticed the teenager who was about to faint.

"Uncle Buyi, I'm a little thirsty, and I'm a little ......dizzy," the young man said as he leaned back in the corner, panting.

"Oops, you're suffering from heat stroke!" The big man hurriedly said, "Don't move, uncle, I'll find you water." With that, the wind under his feet ran wildly not far away, and after a while, he ran back with a big gourd in his arms.

"Come, Ah Shu, drink some water."

The young man was lifted up, and then poured a large mouthful of water into the gourd, the water was cool, you could feel that this was the water that had just been drawn from the well, the cool nectar was under the stomach, and the spirit of the whole body was also shocked, the young man felt a lot better, his face showed gratitude, and said to the bearded man: "Thank you." Uncle Cloth. ”

The man said with concern, "Thank you." You were brought out by your uncle from our village. Uncle should take care of you, but pity your father, the snow covered the mountain was bitten off by a wild beast, since then your family can only rely on your mother to raise silkworms and farm, some time ago the land at home was bought by the unscrupulous landlord, this is to cut off your family's way of life. ”

The young man lowered his head, but quickly raised his head, and said with clear and strong eyes: "Uncle Buyi." Needless to say, my father was lucky to be able to escape from the beast's mouth, and now the boy can come to the city with his uncle to move bricks, and the silver he earns every month is enough for the family, and the boy is already very satisfied with such a day. ”

The young man's tone was very flat, as if he was talking about someone else's business, only the big man, seeing the young man's skinny body under the boy's thin clothes, knew that the young man in front of him didn't want to worry about himself and said as if it didn't matter.

"Ugh." Xue Buyi sighed lightly. I want to be such a sensible child, but I can't take care of him myself. The feeling of having him suffer at this construction site at such a young age made him feel guilty......

"Hey! I'm lazy, isn't it? A little boy with a sharp-beaked monkey cheek and dressed as an overseer happened to pass by, and when he saw the two people hiding in the shade, he immediately screamed, and came up with a whip to make a gesture to beat.

"The official is merciful!" Dahan hurriedly rushed out and explained: "The official doesn't know, the little brother just now was suffering from heat stroke, I helped him fetch water, and rested in the shade, and then went to work." ”

A sneer appeared at the corner of the sharp-mouthed overseer's mouth, and he shouted angrily: "It's a reason to be lazy and slippery?!" It's really worth fighting! With that, the leather whip in his hand fell mercilessly.

"Cymbal~" The leather whip made a sound of being tightened, and I only saw that the big man caught the leather whip with one hand, and glared at the overseer with angry eyes, and there seemed to be flames in his eyes, "Official, the villain has just said that it was this little brother who suffered from heat stroke, so he said that the corner of the wall was resting, not because he was lazy, but also asked the official to know it." ”

was grabbed by a subordinate with a leather whip, which made the overseer's face unbearable, and he didn't care what was wrong, and shouted loudly: "How dare you resist?!" Today, Grandpa Ben is going to teach you a good lesson! ~" With that, one pulled the whip back from the big man's hand, knowing that the big man in front of him had two brushes, and the overseer wisely swung the whip at the young man who was leaning against the corner.

"Smack!" The whip hit the young man's shoulder, and the coarse linen clothes he was wearing were suddenly torn, and even his skin could see a blood-red mark, and the young man also snorted in pain.

The big man froze for a moment, and then, like a beast guarding a cub, roared angrily, and pounced with a fist......

"Not bad, not bad." Xu Yang looked at the construction site in front of him, the sun was hanging high, and the construction site was also a busy scene, less than a month, the residential area of Dunhuafang was almost half built, and many buildings had already laid the foundation and began to build bricks.

For the construction of this kind of two-story small building, the craftsmen of Xujiazhuang have a lot of experience, so when they built the house in the Dunhua Workshop, the progress on the construction site was very fast, the manpower distribution was reasonable, and the raw materials were constantly supplied.

"County Lord, according to your instructions, the construction of Qinglongfang has also begun, that guy, Xiaguan saw the bricks and stones pulled by steam locomotives on that Qinglong Street, I don't know what the county master plans to do with the house on the Qinglong Fang side this time?" Teng Jianhu's big face was full of flattery, and Xu Yang, who was watching it, wanted to slap it on it.

Stubbornly resisting this impulse, Xu Yang shrugged his shoulders, "The secret of heaven must not be revealed~"

The horizontal flesh on Teng Jianhu's face trembled, and after reacting, he found that Xu Yang had already walked into the construction site, so he hurriedly ran out, shouting as he ran: "Lord Xu, wait for me~" ......

The shortage of people in Datang is too great now, and Xu Yang has found that most of the workers are native Tang people from the Central Plains, and foreign slaves are very rare.

"Master Jun, slow down, little ...... Watch your step. "Teng Jianhu, this guy is not fat, and running again on this hot day made his body like a sponge squeezing water, and his back was already wet.

"I said Lao Teng, where are all the foreign slaves shipped from overseas, why do I see all the people of the Tang Dynasty on this construction site, and those barbarians rarely see them?"

Hearing Xu Yang's inquiry, Teng Jianhu gasped, and replied after a long time: "Don't you know that since the construction of the railway, my Datang has been too short of people, not only the eldest grandson, but also the military department, and the household department is even more powerful, as well as Taicang Wharf, which is also a big player all day long, and now my Datang is not short of people, this time to build Dunhua Fang, if it weren't for the high price you paid by the county lord, even these people are estimated to be unable to recruit it." ”

Hearing Teng Jianhu say this, Xu Yang was also slightly stunned, the eldest grandson Wuji needs someone to dig iron ore, the military department needs someone to mine saltpeter gunpowder, the household department needs someone to mine tree copper ore, and even Taicang needs someone to go to the dock to repair ships and build docks.

Just as he was thinking about the population, he heard someone shouting not far away: "Someone has beaten the overseer!" Big guy, hurry up and take a look at the excitement~" This voice shouted at the scene, which aroused the curiosity of many people on the construction site, and they ran towards this side in twos and threes, wanting to see what was going on.

Xu Yang was also slightly suffocated, he remembered the summer of the previous year, the scene where the overseer of Youzhou killed the two Turks on the construction site, and unconsciously, his feet also quickened his pace, and ran towards the place where everyone gathered......

When Xu Yang arrived, the big man was confronting the three overseers, and it could be seen that the big man had some skills, although there were three people on the overseer's side, they were still not allowed to enter, and they were surrounded by the big man, and it was difficult to solve for a while.

"Stop!" Xu Yang broke the deadlock with an order, and everyone present looked at him, curious about this kid.

It wasn't until Teng Jianhu dragged his fat body to catch up that everyone reacted, Teng Jianhu and they all knew each other, the counselor of the household department, and the head of the construction site, he followed behind this young man, presumably this young man is also a great big man, sure enough, Teng Jianhu let everyone take a breath as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Master Jun, which kind of troublemaker is not long-eyed, and the subordinate will directly kill him for you......" ...... (To be continued......)
