**********************************
Now is really not a good season to build a house, since the beginning of summer, there is a shower almost every other day, making the whole construction progress very slow, but the matter of clearing the wasteland, weeding, burning ash and setting fire continues every day.
It is gratifying that more than 200 young people from the four She villages living in Qipan Mountain in the north and Fenghuang Mountain in the northeast came to help under the leadership of the head man, not only carrying hundreds of good timbers that can be used as pillars and beams, but also the craftsmen of the two villages participated in the construction, and the relationship between them was very good.
Nowadays, all the cottages are discussing with each other, how to entrust the newly settled Han caravans to transport the rice grain, furs, medicinal materials, tea oil and other local products in the mountains to Quzhou or Changshan at a good price.
Lei Qi, the first person from Phoenix Mountain who came into contact with Wu Ming, also brought four blacksmiths, and also brought a full set of iron-striking guys, iron materials and more than 500 catties of iron nails, which made Wu Ming, who had always thought that there was no iron ore in this area, very surprised.
Looking at the nine big cattle working hard in the field, and the four calves scurrying around the big cow, the old and young all feel at ease, and wait for hundreds of acres of fields to be turned, remove weeds, soak in water, and catch up with the planting of late rice, so that there will be a harvest in autumn, as long as there is food, everyone will be at ease.
The only thing that everyone couldn't understand was that Wu Ming gave up the proposal to rebuild the village on the original site, and very stubbornly demanded that all the houses be built under the hill called Longtoubei, a hundred meters to the west, and also demanded that all camphor trees, large and small, be retained, and all other trees taller and larger than the camphor trees should be cut down, and the arbors and thorns on the mountain should also be eradicated.
Fortunately, after the events of the first day, no one dared to question Wu Ming's decision, although the workload of laying the foundation and building a house on the high ground was more than twice as large as before, but everyone obeyed.
To everyone's surprise, the design drawings drawn by Wu Ming with simple tools are so simple and beautiful, and the drawings are densely marked with accurate dimensions, and the construction of each key part is written with detailed construction requirements.
Under the tireless command of Wu Ming, the She craftsmen quickly got through the discomfort of the first few days, and then the speed of building houses became faster and faster day by day, and they became more and more proficient day by day, and the ingenious design and simple and practical planning and layout not only made the well-informed old man and Master Lu stunned, but also attracted the old patriarch of the She nationality and the heads of the villages to come to observe, resulting in hundreds of She villagers coming to see the excitement every day.
More than 20 days have passed in a blink of an eye, the two old people and the master Lu Zhengxian and other three families took the lead in living in a spacious and solid two-story wooden building, the wooden building five feet above the ground is simple in shape, square and square, one by one built by the mountain, staggered, facing the south and back to the north and surrounding are all fragrant camphor trees, after the old man's publicity, everyone knows that it is precisely because of the camphor tree that has been left, there are few mosquitoes living on this sunny plateau, and can avoid mosquito bites and spread diseases as much as possible.
There is also a refreshing novelty, the two adjacent wooden houses have stone slabs built toilets behind the side of the side, which is very convenient and tidy, just wait for all the houses to be built, and bring the luscious spring water from the back of the mountain, and every family no longer has to carry water every day.
Old and young are grateful to the knowledgeable, sincere and open-minded Wu Ming, the cured meat sent by the She villagers and the fresh fish that the brothers took the time to go down to the river net to do well, the first one was sent to Wu Ming, a few thirteen or fourteen-year-old girls don't know whether they like Wu Ming, or the family is troubled, I heard that Wu Ming likes to eat roasted sweet potatoes, so he goes to the mountains every day to dig back and roast them fragrantly, and then tiptoe to the grass shed where Wu Ming lives, causing Wu Ming's mouth to be often black, and fart vigorously.
Everyone is very happy, there is a new harvest every day, there is a new hope every day, but the old patriarch of the She tribe, Mr. Lan Yingliang, and a few heads who hunt and dig medicinal herbs all the year round are unhappy, and they hold down the anxiety in their hearts and wait and wait, and patiently wait until all the seedlings are planted in the 800 acres of paddy fields, and the last wooden building in the new village is successfully capped, and immediately impatiently invite Wu Ming and the three leaders to Dazhai as guests.
Wu Ming suddenly discovered that more than two months had passed, and the new calendar was already the end of July.
The old patriarch's main hall was full of laughter, and everyone drank the wine brewed by Lu Zhengde's mother-in-law, and their faces were flushed and smiling.
Lei Qi, the thirty-eight-year-old head of Phoenix Mountain, was even more presumptuous, climbed on Wu Ming's shoulder and picked up a huge wine bowl, asking the two to drink together, causing everyone to immediately stop the noise, and looked at the head man with a red face and abnormal behavior in surprise, and even the old patriarch's wrinkled face showed a look of consternation.
Wu Ming didn't know what was going on, and thought to himself that since you want to drink like this, just drink it like this, anyway, the two mouths are attached to the edge of the bowl and won't touch each other, a bowl of wine is only eight taels at most, and it doesn't hurt to drink it all, so he and Lei Qi drank it happily with their heads and cheeks.
Before Wu Ming could breathe a sigh, a roar suddenly erupted in the audience, which shocked Wu Ming almost didn't spit it out, and when he looked up, all the leaders present stood up, holding wine bowls, and came to him with a smile and congratulations.
Wu Ming reacted immediately, turned to Lei Qi, who was smiling heartily, bent down to pick up most of his half bowl of wine, took a step back, bent down slowly, and in the laughter of Master Lu and others and all the She people, he raised the wine bowl high above his head, and respectfully shouted: "Big brother, please!" It is the luck of the younger brother to get to know the eldest brother and get the attention of the eldest brother! ”
Lei Qi was overjoyed, took the wine bowl with both hands, drank it heroically, put down the bowl and grabbed Wu Ming, and came to kneel down on one leg in front of the smiling patriarch.
The old patriarch was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, stood up and tidied up his clothes, stretched out his hands to look forward and upward, and chattered for more than a minute with words in his mouth, and the three leaders brought three bowls of wine to the side, and waited for the old patriarch to mutter and immediately sent the wine.
The old patriarch took a bowl, saluted heaven and earth again, took a small sip, and then handed the wine bowl to Lei Qi and Wu Ming with a kind face:
"From my great-grandfather's generation to my father's three generations of patriarchs, I have not been blessed to see the righteousness between our She and Han brothers, and today I am very happy! Young man, you are a kind and diligent person, and a person with a full stomach of knowledge, the hero of our clan, the best hunter Lei Qi in a radius of 100 miles, has a very good eye, is very smart, everyone knows the Tao, in the past few months, he and you get along like a brother, so, I am happy for your union, from today on, you are a member of the She tribe! If you want, you can find a young woman to be your wife in my village with the four surnames of She. ”
Everyone cheered, and when Wu Ming followed Lei Qi to bow and thank the old patriarch, the leaders who had been waiting for a long time rushed up, picked up the wine bowl and poured it into Lei Qi and Wu Ming's mouths, and before the fourth bowl was drunk, Lei Qi's body fell crookedly.
As soon as Wu Ming was about to help Lei Qi up, he was pulled by several leaders, so he had to continue to learn from Lei Qi's appearance just now, opened his mouth and drank to death, and drank to the sixth bowl, Wu Ming finally collapsed, drunk and unconscious, like mud.
At about five o'clock in the morning the next day, Wu Ming, who was carried back by four big men, finally woke up, and found a few shadows dangling in front of him in a trance, and stumbled out of the wooden building without caring about anything, lying on the railing and vomiting darkly, and the sound was as terrifying as a wounded wolf, which frightened the whole village.
It wasn't until noon that Wu Ming, who had been poured two bowls of sobering tea, was completely sober, and when he stood up, he saw the seventeen-year-old strong She boy hiding behind Master Lu, rubbed his eyes, squeezed out a smile and asked, "Lei Peng, where is your father?" ”
"My dad woke up in the morning and couldn't get out of bed, so I asked me to send two packs of sobering medicine."
The young man in the sleeveless cardigan coat twisted his hands together, very restrained and shy, the protruding muscles on his arms looked very strong, and a two-foot-long wooden sheath straight knife hung from his waist.
Master Lu was afraid: "A few of us have been guarding you all night, and we are always worried that you will be angry, which is scary!" You can't drink like this in the future, Lao Tzu counted roughly, and poured no less than ten bowls of wine into your stomach, at least five or six catties, this is all strong soju, tsk! ”
Wu Ming shook his swollen and aching head and motioned for Lei Peng to come over: "Did your father let you talk?" ”
Lei Peng nodded honestly: "My dad said, let me follow Uncle Ming from today to learn how to be a man and learn skills." ”
Wu Ming's head suddenly felt big, he sighed and raised his legs to get out of bed, and then turned to Lei Peng: "Then what do you mean?" ”
Lei Peng lowered his head, twisted his hands together again, hesitated for a moment and replied in a low voice: "I begged my father to agree, I think Uncle Ming is very capable, he can do anything, none of us She people can compare, my mother also said that Uncle Ming is a person with great ability, and he will have a future after following Uncle Ming." ”
Wu Ming looked at Master Lu helplessly, Master Lu pinched his goatee and nodded slightly, Wu Ming immediately knew what was going on in the stomach of this old fox, turned to Lei Peng and asked, "How are you shooting?" ”
Lei Peng was stunned for a moment: "It's not as good as my dad." ”
Wu Ming was speechless, remembering the two intact fox skins that Lei Qi gave him some time ago, he raised his legs and walked to the gun cabinet by the wall, took out the polished 38 rifle, pulled the bolt and took a look, picked up a bullet and stuffed it in, closed the bolt and returned to Lei Peng: "You shoot me and show me, if you beat me, this gun will be given to you." ”
After Lei Peng's short period of astonishment, his eyes were full of joy, and he immediately turned around and walked out of the gate with a gun, looked around and immediately turned around and asked, "Uncle Ming, where to fight?" ”
Wu Ming looked up and pointed to the top of the slope more than 80 meters in front of him: "If you see the branch sticking out of the stone cliff, you just hit the branch." ”
Lei Peng immediately raised the gun, slightly sideways and began to aim in an unstandard standing shooting attitude, after a few breaths, the gunfire rang out, a puff of green smoke came out of the middle of the arm-thick branch on the cliff, and the tail end shook violently a few times, and the branch finally couldn't bear the weight of the dense branches and leaves and slowly cracked, and it broke completely with a "snap" after the last "snap".
Hearing the gunshots, everyone around looked over, Master Lu was already dumbfounded, and it took a long time to turn to Wu Ming, who was also stunned: "Talent! ”
Wu Ming grinned and patted Lei Peng's shoulder happily: "It seems that you are familiar with this rifle, you must have played with your father's new gun, right?" ”
Lei Peng nodded embarrassedly, his voice was so small that only Wu Ming could hear: "Last month, the night when the moon was the roundest, my dad carried the new gun sent by Uncle Ming home, wiped it every day, taught me how to load, how to shoot, but was reluctant to give me a shot to try, I really like it, I quietly took the gun up the mountain before dawn for a long time, and I knew how to use it after ten rows of bullets. ”
Wu Mingha laughed, and almost got angry after laughing to the fullest: "I only gave your dad a hundred bullets, and you used most of them in half a day, no wonder he beat you, he was distressed, hahaha!" Haha......"
