Chapter Seventy-One
Zheng Bang jumped off the tree, put Xiao Qiongzhi off his back, and began to use his sword to dig the nearly 400 catties of Huai Mountain again.
Yesterday, he had already dug out the Huai Shan once, and the soil in which he buried the Huai Mountain was relatively soft.
Soon, he dug out Huaishan again.
Next, he found a dozen unknown rattan sticks that were one or two finger thick and three or four meters long from nearby, cut them off, and braided them into four rattan ropes like braids, divided them into two groups, and spread them on the ground.
Put two rattan ropes in each group.
Each rattan rope is spaced about one meter apart.
Then he cut down a number of bushes from the vicinity that were one man tall and two or three fingers thick, and a bush pole as thick as an arm's length.
He first took a part of the shrubs that were one person tall and two or three fingers thick, and spread them evenly on two sets of rattan ropes.
Divide the nearly 400 catties of Huaishan into two parts, and pile them on top of those shrubs.
Only then did he pick up the remaining shrubs, cover the Huai Mountain, and tie them tightly from both ends with four rattan ropes.
In this way, from the outside, it looks like two bundles of very large shrubs, and no one can see that there are many Huai Mountains hidden inside.
Xiao Qiongzhi looked interesting and asked curiously, "Uncle, don't you want people to know that we dug up Huaishan from here?" ”
"It's not. Huaishan is relatively brittle, and if you tie them together separately, it is easy to tie them up and fall everywhere. ”
"Only by adding a layer of this multi-branched and leafy shrub outside them, and tying them tightly with rattan ropes at both ends, can they be blocked by the shrub branches and leaves tied by rattan ropes at both ends, so that they can be taken down the mountain smoothly." Zheng Bang explained as he picked up the arm-thick bush pole and sharpened it quickly with his sword.
In a few moments, the arm-thick bush pole was cut into a flat pole by him.
He carried it, pierced its two ends between the two bundles of bushes that were hidden in the Huai Mountain, stretched out his right hand, and lifted it horizontally on his shoulders with a light movement.
It seems that this load of firewood, which has 400 catties of Huai Mountain, is nothing to him.
It's amazing.
However, along the way, due to the scraping of many trees, the two bundles of shrubs hiding in Huai Mountain will slope down from time to time.
Zheng Bang stretched out his hand in time and re-put them into a horizontal shape, so as not to fall down in the direction of the slope.
At the same time, in order to avoid too much rubbing, he did not go home the way he came, but went directly down the mountain to the entrance of the village as he did yesterday, and then walked home from the entrance of the village.
Xiao Qiongzhi followed closely behind him, looked carefully, admired his carefulness in his heart, and joked to him, "Uncle, have you lived in the countryside for a long time before?" ”
"I was born and raised in the capital, and I came to the countryside this year to protect you. Yesterday was the first time in my life to dig something, and today is the first time in my life to chop and pick firewood. Zheng Bang replied more carefully.
Obviously, he heard that Xiao Qiongzhi saw him doing rough work in the mountains and did it skillfully, thinking that he had experience in doing rough work in the mountain township, so he deliberately explained.
"I see, uncle, then you are really amazing." Xiao Qiong immediately said sincerely.
In her heart, she was also very emotional.
She has lived in a big city that is not a city, but more prosperous than the city, and she has never experienced the real farm life.
However, if she is allowed to do these rough jobs, even if she has grown up, she will definitely not be able to do it as well as Zheng Bang for the first time.
She bets that a person as wise as Zhou Dazhi and has lived in Zhoujia Village for nearly ten years, if he comes to do these rough jobs, at most, he can only do Zheng Bang like this.
Zheng Bang, who is strong in kung fu, full of insight and strategy, can get started with everything so quickly, he is definitely an excellent talent who can be used all over the world.
Judging from some personal circumstances that he occasionally revealed, he should still be a person with a lot of status.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for the guests of the prince's family to return to the king like Dream Hui, and they would not need to hand over a prayer note in order to see him.
She couldn't imagine how powerful and amazing a father like him could be.
And what kind of shit luck did an ordinary little family jasper like Chu Yunniang, who is so ordinary that she is so bad on the street, that she can be favored by that legendary father?
After returning home, Xiao Qiongzhi still couldn't suppress the curiosity in her heart.
She found that Liu Wuxiu and Zhou Dayong were not there, and found Chu Yunniang, who was cooking glutinous rice, potatoes, and sweet potatoes alone in the kitchen, and asked in a low voice with a smile, "Mother, my father, how did you fall in love with you back then?" ”
"How could your father be such a beautiful person, so could he fall in love with me? He had never taken a fancy to me, not even to look at me more. Chu Yunniang seemed to be a little worried about this, and shook her head lightly, her originally gentle expression suddenly added a little gloom and sadness.
Xiao Qiongzhi was very surprised, and hurriedly asked in a deep voice, "Mother, since my father has never taken a fancy to you, why did he give birth to me with you?" Also, there is a huge difference between your identity and him, is it his yuan match, or his house-filling or concubine, concubine, or room? ”
"I can't say this, Zhi'er, don't ask, when you grow up, your uncle will tell you!" Chu Yunniang's expression immediately became even darker, and she refused to say anything.
Xiao Qiongzhi couldn't help but feel worried.
In this era, great importance is attached to the difference between the descendants and the concubines.
Especially in the big family, the concubine has no dignity at all, and is often used as the concubine of the concubine to help the concubine solidify the favor; Or it is often used by the elders to give it to the nobles who need to be married as concubines, and it becomes a tool to win over the relationship between the two families.
If Chu Yunniang is her father's match, filling the house, or even if she is a noble concubine, she is not ashamed, and she should have the courage to admit it.
Chu Yunniang didn't have the courage to admit it, which could only show that Chu Yunniang was not, which indirectly showed that she was not a concubine, but a concubine.
Then, his own family, to himself, is simply a fire pit!
It's just that if he is just a concubine, why would such an excellent person as Zheng Bang be willing to protect himself wholeheartedly?
Could it be that his own father, who only has one child under his knees, is irreplaceable and the only one under his knees?
This is also not true.
This kind of big family is often very patriarchal.
If that father has only one child under his knees, the elders in the family should choose a little boy from the clan according to the common rules of the big family, and pass it on to the father as a son.
Therefore, it is not the turn of the little maid who is outcast, to attract their attention, unless......
Unless that father-in-law has already made a marriage contract for himself, and the marriage partner is a person with a very high status!
However, this is not quite true.
How could a man of great status, his father, betroth him to a concubine?
Xiao Qiongzhi thought about it, but couldn't think of a reason, so she didn't bother to think about it.
Anyway, the big family where the father belongs is now too busy to take care of himself, and he may not have a chance to turn over.
And themselves, as long as they work hard enough, even if they use themselves, after five or ten years, they may not have the strength to get rid of them or compete with them!
