"What kind of jacket do you do in the summer, run away!" I put the wild duck on the ground, bent down into the straw tent, took out a burlap coat that I had stolen a few days ago, piled all the prey together, and made a bag, "There is still a little bit of mountain chicken meat left over from last night's food in the tent, you can pad your stomach first, and I will go to the village to change some dry food." ”

"Today, we will go into the village with you. After changing the grain, he directly crossed the Great Wall of Qi and went to Yinan City to find a boat to go south. Wuxian picked up the burden I had tied, turned his head and said to Wuxie: "Wolf cub, sort out the things in the tent, we are on our way!" ”

"It's good for me to enter the village alone, the goal of the three people is too big, in case it is discovered by the Chen family's people, it will be troublesome." I squatted on the ground and wiped two handfuls of dirt on my face, reaching for the burden on my shirtless.

"If you get a few bags of corn later, how can you carry it alone? Don't worry, just now I met a few hunters in the mountains, and they said that there are people in the villages in the south today who have a happy event, not only to collect the catch of fishing and hunting, but also to give a meal of white food. When the time comes, there will be a lot of people from seven households and eight villages, and no one will pay attention to us. Wild ducks and rabbits can be exchanged for food, and pheasants can find a girl in the village who is about your size to change you into a suitable set of clothes. ”

Looking at the way Wuxian spoke, I felt that I and he were just an ordinary couple in the mountains and forests of Lu Guoshan, and he was telling me when he returned from hunting that the rations for half a month had been settled, and he might be able to go to the neighboring village to eat a free meal today.

"Why don't you speak, aren't you happy when you are going to Lu Country?" Brushing the wooden flute between my hair, he asked softly.

"Happy. But if Chen Heng thought that the Marquis of Qi would take refuge in the south of the Lu State, he would definitely add checkpoints and garrisons on the Great Wall, can we get out? ”

"You don't have to worry about this, those checkpoints can't even stop the traders who smuggle smuggled salt, let alone the three of us."

"Zhao Wuxian, where you eat white food, you can also cook meat?" Carrying his baggage, Innocent walked out of the straw tent with a bag of pheasant wrapped in leaves.

There is a mountain name "Yi" between the two countries of Qi, and the Great Wall of this section of Qi is built along the mountainside of Yishan. Here, the north of the mountain belongs to Qi, and the south of the mountain belongs to Lu. The small village in front of you is being built at the northern foot of Yishan Mountain, and you can see several flags on the wall of the Great Wall of Qi from a distance as soon as you look up at the entrance of the village.

"Where did the guests come from? Today, there is joy in the village, and the guests go to the south of the village to drink saliva bar! "As soon as the three of us arrived at the entrance of the village, we were greeted by a little old man in a brown robe. The man's face was happy, and although the robe on his body was made of coarse linen, there was not a single pleat on the hem, and it was obviously a new garment.

Wuxian smiled and stepped forward to clasp his fists and saluted: "Uncle Tongxi, we are hunters in the mountains, and we want to exchange for a few bags of millet grain." ”

"It's a coincidence that the guest came, Lizai's house is full of millet and millet today, and someone came to say hello to Lizai, kowtow, and a spoonful of meat soup to eat, and the three of them went away." The little old man raised his hand and saluted us, and was busy greeting other outsiders who had entered the village.

On a black soil rammed path, the bustling crowd rushed to the south of the village. A few of us mingled with the crowd and soon came to a courtyard surrounded by loess mud walls. A dark-faced man stood at the gate of the courtyard, crossed his waist and shouted: "Kowtow to the courtyard with meat soup - the left turn of Daoxi to ask for porridge-"

"What's the joy of the Zai family here? Such a big pomp. "I looked up and was talking to Wuxian, when a peasant woman with a blue cloth towel wrapped around her head pulled two gray children and squeezed in front of us.

"Hey, we're here first!" Innocent stepped forward and pulled the peasant woman. When the peasant woman turned around, she was a terrible face that was skinny and skinny. Her cheekbones were high, her eyes were staring straight out of her sockets, and the flesh of her cheeks seemed to be sucked into her mouth, sunken deeply.

This man must have been hungry for a long time! I pulled Wuxian behind me and smiled at the peasant woman, "It's okay, sister-in-law, you just stand here." The woman winced at me, and then pulled the two children forward.

"You wait here for me first, and I'll ask where I can change food." Wuxian handed me the long sword wrapped in rags, and walked towards the black-faced man at the door with his burden on his back.

I glanced around the queue with my sword in my hand, and was surprised to see that most of them were ragged beggars.

"Auntie, where are you from?" I left Innocence and walked a few steps to the back of the line, stopping in front of an old woman with snow-white hair.

The old woman looked at me with her wrinkled eyelids, but did not answer, but took two steps back and gave me a place.

"You're from a foreign country, right?" At this moment, an old man standing in front of the old woman turned his head.

"Well, the slave and the younger brother have just come to the west, and the people in the village say that the east is easy to live. Uncle, why are there so many beggars here? "When I saw someone talking to me, I immediately leaned over to the old man.

"It's not a beggar, it's all from the Song Kingdom a few days ago due to the trouble. They don't understand what you're saying. The old man held a clay pot in his left hand, and a black pottery bowl with a missing mouth in his right hand and looked at the gate of the courtyard, "There are more people today, and I don't know if there will be meat soup later." The little sister is kind, do well, move the little old man to a vacancy! ”

I was stunned for a moment and didn't react, but when I saw the old man staring at the innocent look in front of me, I realized that he also wanted to move in front of us. "Uncle, who did you listen to say that the Song Kingdom was at war? Who did you fight with? I helped the barefoot old man and slowly moved to Innocent's side.

"What Rijae said! Li Zai is an old Song man, and he came to the Qi State after suffering the loss of Sima of the Song Kingdom. Today, the Tao is happy, the Tao is that the monarch of the Song Kingdom beat the Sima of the Song Kingdom! The old man tilted his head and looked at me and Wuxie, and his expression seemed to blame us for lining up to grab food with him, and he didn't even know the reason for Daoxi.

Speaking of this, Sima Xiang Wei (1) of the Song Kingdom is also a well-known figure. Some people say that he is the male favorite of Song Gong, and some people say that he is a brave and warlike warrior, but the first thing I heard about him was what my master told me back then. He said that Xiang Wei was arrogant and domineering, and when Confucius of Lu State traveled around the world, he once gave lectures under a big tree in the Song Kingdom, and Xiang Wei did not like Kongqiu's remarks, so he sent people to tear down the big tree and wanted to murder Kongqiu. Since then, no matter how the world says that Xiang Wei is a handsome man, he has always been a brute with a full face in my mind. Xiang Wei is the suzerain of the Xiang clan, and the Xiang clan is equivalent to the Chen clan of the Qi State in the Song State, and several brothers are Song Qing who holds great power. The Marquis of Qi failed to fight the Chen clan and drove the Chen clan out of the court. This Song Gong is faster than Qi Hou, but he doesn't know who wins and who loses in the end of this battle between the office and the Qing family. Hey, the world is really chaotic, and every day is like a day.

Innocent and I waited outside the courtyard for about a quarter of an hour before we saw Shirtless come out of the courtyard with three bulging pockets.

"In exchange? What was given? I ran a few steps to meet him.

"Here he was a man with a big hand, and he gave two bags of millet, a bag of millet, a knife coin, and an old coat in it." Wuxian spread out his hand and put a patinized knife coin in the palm of my hand with a smile, "How, is it enough to support your little woman for your husband's ability?" ”

I couldn't help but laugh and owed a debt: "Enough, enough for this month." Next month, Fu Lang Mo will take it to eat flower wine, remember to give it to the little woman early. ”

"Hahaha......" Wuxian raised his head and laughed when he heard it, and then smiled and whispered in my ear, "I buy wine and eat at home, and my family's beauty flowers are beautiful all over the world." ”

"It's not like you're poor!" I tiptoed into his ear: "Anyway, you and I won't kowtow there for a mouthful of meat soup, since the grain has been changed, let's leave quickly!" ”

"There's no hurry. Tomorrow, the Zai here is going to cross the Great Wall to the Song Kingdom, and he has just summoned a few Orions as guards in the courtyard, and I have also left my name in the booklet. Let's stay in this village for the night tonight, and then go out with this gang early tomorrow morning. ”

"That's good, he is the commander here, and he is also familiar with the defenders who want to come to the border checkpoint."

"That's exactly what happened." Wuxian turned around and threw the two pockets on his body to the innocent in the team: "Wolf cub, carry it!" Follow me! ”

Since the slaughter here is a guard, he naturally has to try everyone's leg and foot skills. Wuxian and Wuxian played two fists and kicks on the black-faced man in the backyard of Rizai's house, and after shooting a few more arrows, they were left behind, and one of them also received a small bag of knife coins as payment. And I, because I was a woman, was sent to help in the straw hut outside the courtyard where the rice soup was distributed.

The grass shed is set up in a vacant lot not far from the courtyard gate, and there are two extremely prosperous stove fires in front of the shed, and two large black pottery vats with a height of one person are bubbling out of the fire. Next to the clay jar, four women in linen turbans are standing on a pine pier and stirring the millet soup in the jar with a thick stick.

"Alas, the new kid, you come for me!" A round-faced, high-breasted woman stood on the pier and beckoned to me, and I hurriedly trotted a few steps to her, "Sister-in-law, you called me?" ”

The woman put the stick on the edge of the jar, wiped the sweat on her forehead with her dirty sleeve, and stepped down from the pine pier: "Sister-in-law is tired, you go up and stir it!" ”

"Good!" I rolled up my sleeves and climbed up, stirring back and forth in the vat with a stick, like the girl opposite.

"Sister, are you two brothers coming with you?" The round-faced woman did not leave after handing over the work to me, but pulled her collar and stood beside me, fanning the wind with her sleeve.

"Well, it's my brother and my little brother." I thought she must be asking about Shirtless and Innocent, so I nodded.

"You just said that both of them stayed behind to serve as guards for Rizai?"

"Well, Li Zai Ming'er is going to go far away."

"So you're going to sleep in the village tonight?"

Before the woman could finish speaking, the women in the hut laughed. The young girl standing on the wooden mound opposite me smiled and spat at the woman below: "Okay, shameless woman, it's June, and you're not hot enough?" Still thinking of finding someone to make the quilt for you? ”

"I want you to talk too much!" The round-faced woman waved her hand, looked up and said to me, "Little sister, tell your eldest brother later, don't squeeze with those grandsons tonight, go to the house where poplars are planted at the east entrance of the village and sleep, the mattress is clean and the pillow is soft." After she finished speaking, she straightened her plump and fleshy breasts, and my face burned at this moment.

"Hey, guys! The little girl was still blushing, and it seemed that she understood. It's good to understand, and if you understand, talk to your brother. The woman smiled and took out a large spoon from the shed and knocked twice on the wall of the jar. Dozens of people sitting in front of the straw hut waiting to receive the rice soup all gathered around at once.
