Chapter 39: Drills
Liu Ziqiu said strangely: "Xiu'er, what are you doing if you don't sleep so late?" ”
Gao Xiu'er blushed and snorted, "No, it's nothing." Lang Jun, you've been busy all day, I, I'll help you wash your feet. ”
"Washing feet? Oh, that's good. Liu Ziqiu took advantage of Gao Xiu'er's efforts to get up, and snatched the things she hid behind, but she made half of the children's clothes, and couldn't help but be stunned, and asked, "Xiu'er, who is this for?" It seems that there is no one in the village who has a baby. ”
Gao Xiu'er's head was buried between her legs, and her voice was smaller than that of a mosquito: "I can't help outside, so I'll just do some needlework......"
Because of the time constraints, almost all the men, women and children in the village participated in this huge project. Gao Xiuer has been living in Changshan Village for half a year, and she can do any job, not when she was pampered at home before, of course, she also wants to go out to help. It's just that she has suddenly become beautiful now, like a fairy, where are the villagers willing to let her do a little work. If you get a face, then what's the point?
Not only that, but the old ladies were also very gossipy: "Xiu'er, why hasn't your stomach moved?" ”
"Xiu'er, don't be afraid. I see that your ass is round and big, it must be easy to give birth to, and it is designated as a male baby. ”
Someone whispered next to him: "You see Xiu'er walking, and it is clear that she has not yet passed the room." ”
"Hehe, you can see that, too?"
"Xiu'er, you are well now, this handsome bull must be ......"
Although these old ladies had no malicious intentions, they were open-mouthed, and Gao Xiu'er was ashamed and ashamed to hear it, so she finally couldn't stay anymore and quickly slipped back to the yard. More importantly, these words touched her heart. I don't know what Liu Ziqiu means, I always say that she is too young, but in fact, she is not young anymore.
The yard was empty. Although the villagers did not let Gao Xiu'er work, they did not treat Vanilla and the two newly purchased Goryeo maids so well, and they were also busy outside.
Anyway, idle is idle, and when she was bored, Gao Xiuer actually learned to make children's clothes, but was caught by Liu Ziqiu.
Liu Ziqiu looked at her embarrassed appearance, suddenly understood, hesitated, and said, "Xiu'er, when the dust settles in the salt farm, I will marry you!" ”
Gao Xiu'er lowered her head and fiddled with the corners of her clothes, her mouth was hesitant, and she didn't know what to say.
But I heard Liu Ziqiu say again: "However, we can't be in a hurry to have children." ”
"Why?" Gao Xiu'er raised her head suddenly, suddenly ashamed, and quickly lowered her head again.
"This, this." Liu Ziqiu found that he couldn't explain clearly for a while, so he had to say, "I'll tell you later." ”
However, being able to get Liu Ziqiu's clear promise, Gao Xiuer's heart was already sweet.
……
Entering the winter moon, the weather in Jiangnan is also starting to get cooler. The villagers were so enthusiastic that they got up early and gathered in front of the foundation of the school in the center of the village to prepare for the start of the day's work. Liu Ziqiu made adjustments.
"Third aunt, Uncle Li, you take twenty people to the county to complain to the yamen, just say that the Yang family is not keeping promises, and ask the government to uphold justice."
"Bolt, you continue to be responsible for staring at Yang Heihu's tip."
"Erzhuang, you don't have to cut bamboo today. Each household draws a din and begins to practice. ”
"The rest of the people follow Dapeng and finish yesterday's work."
Xiao Dapeng suddenly said: "Big brother, I also want to participate in the drill!" ”
Liu Ziqiu said in a deep voice: "Obey the order!" ”
The drill took place on the wasteland outside the village. There are a total of 78 households in the whole village, including Liu Ziqiu, except for a few households that cannot draw Ding, each household has one Ding, forming a team of 72 people.
Liu Ziqiu personally served as an instructor and took everyone to a cross-country run first. From the entrance of the village to the riverside, two back and forth, more than ten miles of road. The villagers have been engaged in various tasks for a long time, and their endurance is excellent, but they have never experienced such a long-distance running. At the end of the trip, many people were panting, slumped on the ground, and some even vomited profusely.
Liu Ziqiu picked up a bamboo stick, beat the villagers lying on the ground hard, and shouted: "Get up!" Get up! No one is allowed to lie down. Let's go, walk two laps! ”
After a quarter of an hour, the villagers who participated in the drill finally relented. Liu Ziqiu raised his throat again and shouted: "Assemble!" Gather! Line up, line up! ”
It is not easy for untrained villagers to line up, and it took a long time to toss and turn before they got a little crooked.
"Count!" "One, two, three...... Seventy, seventy-one. ”
Under Liu Ziqiu's repeated corrections, the villagers finally learned to line up and report the numbers, only to find that they had lost one person.
"Let's take a look, who didn't come!"
"Oh, Erzhuang, why isn't Erzhuang here?"
Erzhuang is also surnamed Xiao, of course, no one can remember what his original surname was, this surname Xiao is the surname given by the Xiao family to his father. Because he was relatively strong, Liu Ziqiu originally planned to make him the captain of the villagers' guards, but he didn't expect him to escape.
Liu Ziqiu said angrily: "Find! No matter where he's hiding, find him for me! ”
"No, you don't have to." Er Zhuang ran over breathlessly, "I, I'm here." I, I can't run. ”
When Liu Ziqiu saw it, Erzhuang's face was pale, covered in sweat, and he was indeed tired. The surrounding villagers were already bursting into laughter. Liu Ziqiu said: "Don't laugh, everyone! Sweat more in peacetime, bleed less in wartime! Erzhuang can persevere, it is worthy of admiration, everyone should cheer for him! ”
The villagers shouted in unison, and Er Zhuang was excited for a while, and suddenly quickened his pace, and finally completed the last thirty steps.
Liu Ziqiu didn't know how the army trained and fought in this era, and he could only use what he had learned in the army to train them in the queue and physical fitness first. As for the eighteen martial arts, that is a matter for the future, because there are many things, and Liu Ziqiu himself will not know.
At noon, the three aunts who had been sent to the city to complain returned. As soon as she entered the village, the third aunt scolded: "The dog official is so disrespectful, he even refuses to accept our case, if it weren't for the large number of people we go, he would still throw us into prison." ”
Liu Ziqiu waved his hand and said, "Everyone has worked hard, I knew it would be like this." ”
Uncle Li said dissatisfiedly: "Big Niu, didn't you let us run for nothing? With this, we can do a lot of work at home. ”
Liu Ziqiu said with a smile: "If you are the Yang family, will you believe that we will swallow our anger like this?" This is for the Yang family to see, and the more fierce the trouble, the more realistic it is. ”
……
The bolt waited in the east gate of Yanguan County until the sun was in the west, and finally saw Yang Heihu riding by with four retinues. Horses are not allowed in the city, and Yang Heihu has no choice but to lead the horse slowly, but it provides convenience for the bolt to track. The plug made up another time today, but it didn't attract Yang Heihu's attention again, he followed Yang Heihu two streets, and saw Yang Heihu enter a house from a distance.
The house looked ordinary and unremarkable. Bolt looked around and found that Ah Fu and Ah Gui were also nearby. The three of them glanced at each other, and were about to leave, but saw the side door of the house open again, and the two housekeepers escorted a carriage out to the west.
The bolt didn't dare to slack off, and hurried to follow. But he saw the carriage go straight out of the west gate and go away. It's a pity that the three of them don't have a carriage or horse, and they can't catch up if they want to.
"Out of town to the west? What are you doing west? Liu Ziqiu pondered for a long time, and suddenly asked, "Bolt, you can really see it, the guard next to him is really Yang Heihu?" ”
The bolt gritted his teeth and said, "Although he has changed into the clothes of an ordinary house slave, he is burned to ashes, and I can recognize it!" ”
"Do you know when they came back to the city?"
"This ...... We were worried that we wouldn't be able to get out of the city gates, so we didn't wait there, and we didn't know if they had returned to the city. ”
Liu Ziqiu asked again: "Then have you turned around to see how big the house Yang Heihu entered is and how many people can live?" ”
The plug shook his head.
Liu Ziqiu said earnestly: "Plug, stalking is not a simple matter, you have to be patient, you have to use your brain, and you have to find out all the surrounding situations." Tomorrow you go again, I wait for the news of your success. ”
The next day, Bolt came back late with Ah Fu and Ah Gui, but the news brought was much more detailed: "Yang Heihu still entered the house, and it didn't take much effort to change into the clothes of an ordinary family and escort the carriage to the west. Ah Fu sneaked into the house and found that there were only two family members living there, and no third person was there. And the house is so small that it can only squeeze in two or three more people at most......"
Liu Ziqiu interrupted the bolt and asked, "Have you ever seen the two family members left in the house?" ”
Ah Fu replied: "I have seen it, it is the entourage who followed Yang Heihu." ”
Liu Ziqiu was silent for a while, then nodded, "Go on." ”
Agui said: "The two of them stared at the mansion, and I was walking in the carriage alone, and sure enough, I saw them go out of the west gate again. Later, the three of us stood guard outside the west gate until the gate was closed, and we did not see them return. ”
Liu Ziqiu stood up, paced back and forth in the room for a few steps, and suddenly realized: "I understand." The house in the city is just a pretense, and the Yang family's foothold in Yanguan is not in the city at all, it should be somewhere in the west of the city! ”
The bolt said excitedly: "Brother Niu, tomorrow we will run again with the carriage and wait for him outside the West Gate!" ”
"There's no need. Yang Jishan is a noble son, and he has been in Yanguan for so long, so the place where he lives must be more luxurious. Liu Ziqiu nodded and said, "Ah Fu, tomorrow the four of you will go together to see if there is any big manor in the west of the city, it shouldn't be too far, just thirty miles." Remember, be careful not to alarm the people inside! ”
By the afternoon of the third day, the village's defenses were almost complete.
The outside of the fence is covered with a thick layer of river mud, which is mixed with glutinous rice juice and becomes very strong. In fact, the fence is already firmly entrenched, and the reason why it is necessary is to prevent others from using fire attacks.
The watchtowers at the four corners have been erected, and villagers are watching from them day and night, changing shifts every hour. Gongs, flags, and lanterns are also prepared on the watchtower, which can play the role of command and warning no matter day or night.
The primary school in the village was a little slower, because Liu Ziqiu planned to build it stronger. Now only the foundations have been dug up, the land has been tamped, and the timber has been prepared, and the bricks and tiles have not yet been bought.
However, this progress has made Liu Ziqiu very satisfied. He announced that the villagers would be given a half-day off. The villagers cheered, especially those who participated in the drill. Suddenly, I heard the third aunt shouting loudly: "Da Niu, Da Niu, Mr. is here!" ”
