CHAPTER XXXVI

"What's on guard!" Mrs. Song shouted: "The donkey given by the county government has fallen." ”

"Oops! Poor thing, let me rest and see if I can slow down? "Aunt Liu, the daughter-in-law of the third cousin of the clan, is distressed and can't wait to feel sorry for the donkey.

A group of people gathered around to watch, and the barefoot doctor in the village shook his head and said, "It's useless, while you're not sick, let's kill and eat!" If you are really sick, you can only throw it away when you die, and you can't eat meat. ”

The young men who are hungry for meat, who are willing to kill and eat meat when they don't want to eat donkeys and animals that can pull carts?

got meat to eat, boiled donkey meat in a big pot, and said that dragon meat in the sky and donkey meat on the ground, Dong Xiaoying couldn't eat it with a bitter face.

The old ladies will live, there is not much salt, I can't wait to count the salt particles and put salt, there is no salt taste at all, who can eat the big piece of meat?

If she didn't eat it, Mrs. Niu sat in front of her and said, "Are you stupid, good meat, what are you doing for the butt lamb?" How much do you have for the wilts?

I can't wait to jump into the pot to fish for you, I found a piece of good meat for a long time, you eat quickly, eat quickly, don't care about the baby, don't care about anyone's baby, let me find his mother. ”

Chang'an secretly smeared soybean sauce on the donkey meat, "Dad, give it to you." ”

"It's a good thing your mother has attracted your milk's attention, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to eat it. Give your sister a little, don't just take care of yourself and eat stupidly. ”

Chang'an pouted, what's the matter, I'm a hug? It's not me who makes old ladies patriarchal!

Fang Mingyuan didn't find his son's resentment, and still muttered: "Look at those people, they are exquisite, people gather to eat alone, send donkey meat, and return a few catties of air-dried meat to us." ”

Fang Yue whispered: "Dad, you don't see how good other people eat, the bowls used are all fine porcelain, you smell it, and there is the smell of sesame oil." ”

Mrs. Niu pushed her grandson, "Go and send it to the chick and his brother, the milk has eaten other people's lotus root noodles, and you can send the dim sum to them to eat." ”

Isn't the relationship just that you come and go from me! Brother Ling is young and has no serious friends, this time it's okay, Fang Xiucai's son Chang'an is good, I heard that he is also a scholar, and he should be able to go with his grandson.

The mountain road is getting more and more difficult to walk, and in some places the width of the mule cart is barely passing against the mountain wall, and the old ox is dragged forward, followed by four commandos behind the car, carefully carrying the butt of the car, for fear that the old ox will pull the car crookedly.

The convoy was stretched for several miles, and the road was not easy to walk, so Mrs. Hu got out of the car and walked behind, and walked on the mountain road in a team with the old ladies.

"What? Is cotton so expensive here? ”

Mrs. Hu said: "We can't grow cotton here, so we rely on traders to transport it from the south." ”

The flower woman asked, "Then you don't have anyone to weave?" ”

"Some people weave cloth, the fabric is more expensive, and it is cheaper to weave it yourself." Mrs. Hu replied with a smile.

The old ladies talked about the cloth and salt, to farming, to weddings and funerals.

"Thirteen to get married? That's not right. Mrs. Song shook her head, what can she do when she gets married at such a young age?

Mrs. Hu explained that there has been a war with foreigners here, and the fewer people fought, the younger the age at which the children got married.

How bad are the foreigners, the people who kill us!

Foreigners are not easy to fight, they are not a group. Our army can't find anyone out of the customs.

Talking about foreigners riding horses into the village, killing people, robbing things, and taking women away as slaves, the hearts of old ladies are cold, what kind of place is this?

Thousands of miles away from Hezhong Mansion, the urine nest moved to the nest, and there was no good place.

Earlier, Ning Zhong and Fang Mingyuan were chatting about the mutual market, "An iron pot is sold to a foreigner in private, at least thirty taels, and it can be exchanged for a good horse." However, if the government finds out, the whole family will be in prison. ”

"You can't change it with an iron pot, just use something else! Why take the risk? ”

Ning Zhong explained: "There are salt wells and iron mines in Hululing, and iron is cheap and there are many blacksmiths here. In fact, tea can also be exchanged for horses, cattle and sheep, and gold and precious stones in the hands of foreigners. ”

Fang Mingyuan pouted and said, "How expensive is tea!" We ordinary people can't afford to buy tea, so we are willing to give it to foreigners? ”

Ning Zhong smiled, "There is no good tea, the caravan went to the south to get tea foam that people don't want." It is a good tea to say from foreigners! The journey is too far, and the delicate tea leaves are transported all the way, and it is normal to break a little! ”

Fang Mingyuan squinted his eyes and thought, foreigners may not know what good tea is like at all. When the time comes, go to the tea and horse market to see, if the foreigners are really like two fools, tea!

The bitter herbs in the field, the dandelions in the mountains, that is, the mother-in-law, the tender willow leaves in early spring, purslane, and gynostemma are all tea, and the old ladies are idle, stir-fry the tea!

In the back team, Mrs. Wang patted her thigh, "What? Killing people and setting fire to such a big thing, just to grab a big iron pot? Give it to him, take it, don't kill anyone! ”

Mrs. Hu was silent, if she sent what the foreigners wanted, she would still be killed, because the people would take the women away.

Grandma Zhang is old, and her grandson carries her on her back, following behind Mrs. Wang, her ears are a little back, and she can't hear what she said before. He muttered loudly: "There are few people here, and there is no one in the mountains. ”

Sister-in-law Zhang's brother Zhang Sanwang said: "Milk, someone lives, let the mountain bandits be in trouble, and they may also be mountain bandits." ”

Grandma Zhang didn't hear clearly, "What water?" It's also that we came over there, there was no water all the way, and the land was not good, and nothing could grow seedlings. ”

The Ning orphans helped carry the car behind, and they were also talking about the customs here.

"A military family can divide fifty or sixty acres of land, and strong laborers can open up more wasteland, and a family can spread out hundreds of acres of land."

The patriarch once thought that his family was good in the village, with more than 30 acres of land, and he had to spend money to ask someone to help cultivate it.

"I also grow wheat, but the yield of wheat is not high, and I have to plant sorghum and corn in a hurry after harvesting wheat."

The third uncle listened to it and made up his mind, just like our side, that is, the planting time was more than half a month earlier, and the harvesting time was a month later.

Chang'an and Liao Ling were also walking, and Chang'an said: "You haven't started writing an article yet?" Your husband really can't. ”

Liao Ling nodded and said, "Yes!" Mr. is just a child, his knowledge is limited, and his enlightenment is okay. ”

Chang'an looked at his father, "Can a child be enlightened?" The requirements are really low. ”

Fang Yuewo pouted in the car, these two people were really boring to chat.

There is no place to stop and rest on the mountain road, walk slowly when you are tired, drink water when you are hungry, and take a small bite of Dong Xiaoying's fried twist and fried dumplings.

Chang'an has long since figured out his identity from Liao Ling's mouth.

The Liao family in Hezhong Mansion is very famous, there is a champion Lang, and the title of the gold list is a horse, and all good things are accounted for.

Liao's family followed the chicken dog to heaven, Mrs. Hu said it well, Mrs. Liao was a centurion until she died, her grandson became a concubine, and the family's official position went up on a rocket.

Old man Liao couldn't eat enough to eat that year, so he joined the army and went to the border pass, Liao's father and son inherited his father's business and became a centurion at the border pass, his son became a horse, and the centurion became a six-grade general in a blink of an eye.

It's a pity that the good luck of the Liao family was given to the horses, and the family fought hard at the border to completely pacify the northern Xinjiang, and the Liao family was left with a lone seedling.

Liao Ling said that after his grandfather and father died in battle, the imperial court issued an order to posthumously seal it. I didn't say anything more detailed.

According to Liao Ling's words, Chang'an can guess that the imperial court has to give a knighthood after him, so this Brother Ling has a knighthood on him!

"It's just me and my sister in our family, man! To be responsible, we have to protect my sister. ”

"My sister just knew how to speak, and she called my brother sweetly, oops, my heart is going to melt."

"We're men! Naturally, I want to support my sister for a piece of the sky, girls like this and that, when my brother has no ability, I don't let it be troublesome, our sister is qualified for this thing, that thing. ”

"You don't understand, you don't have a sister, the heart of a brother! Tsk, you don't understand. ”

Fang Yue looked at the sky speechlessly, and his brother started again.

But anyone who is pulled by his brother to show off his sister, the common point is that he doesn't have a sister, and he doesn't have a sister!

Another point, my brother plans to be a confidant and friend with this person.

"That is, you, our relationship has arrived, so I am willing to tell you about my sister, and if I change others, I can't let him hear it."

"Yes, Brother Liao is really my best friend."

You two are going to worship on the spot!

Chang'an said in his heart, knowing that this person is powerful, we can't do it, so we have to make friends and try our best to get along with people.

Out of this mountain, and then look up again, there is still a mountain blocking the road in front of you.

Mrs. Hu was picked up by someone sent by her nephew, Liao Ling and Chang'an reluctantly waved goodbye, not forgetting to tell Chang'an, take care of the affairs of adults, and take care of her sister.

That's right, another fool who was brainwashed by his brother!
