Cheng Xiu can't ride a horse now, and he is lying in the carriage crookedly, while Su Zhi rides his horse and gets angry with him from time to time outside the car.

Yue'er was about to get into the carriage, and Su Zhi dragged the person onto the horse: "Come, let's see the sick cat together." ”

Cheng Xiu hummed in the carriage: "No conscience, really no conscience." ”

Yue'er didn't care about the verbal lawsuit between the two of them all day long, and asked Su Tong with a sad face: "Where did this green fox go, why didn't you come back?" ”

Su Tong didn't respond, just hugged Yue'er and asked her, "Is it cold?" ”

Tucked Yue'er into his cloak, and in a moment she fell asleep. After losing the jade pendant, the road was quiet, and Cheng Xiu's injury had to be considered, so he walked very slowly. Sometimes it takes three or five days to stay in one place before he can continue walking, and Cheng Xiu gradually recovers.

It was only when he arrived at Shenyang Zhongwei Su Tong that he learned that the specific place of exile was in Beishan Village, Qingshui Town, on the bank of the Songwa River. It is about 1,200 miles to walk from Shenyang Zhongwei, and it will take at least more than two months to go on at this speed.

Yue'er was stupid when she heard the news, Su Zhi and Cheng Xiu also looked at her dumbfounded, Su Zhi asked: "Yue'er, you lied that you were going to Qingshui Town, but you really went to Qingshui Town, you are a fairy, right?" ”

Cheng Xiu was so complicated that he didn't even say a word.

In fact, a normal exile prisoner would have to arrive at the place of exile within two months, but in this case, Su Tong was seriously injured in the escort officer, and he also lost half of his men.

When they arrived in Beishan Village, Qingshui Town, Yue'er and Su Zhi didn't have a penny on them, and at this time, Laneige also arrived, and she also didn't have half a penny.

Cheng Xiu has been taking silver taels from various guards or yamen all the way, and it is not good to report this to Su Zhi to leave too much, leaving them twenty taels, and it can only be like this. Just these twenty taels, he will have to pay for them out of his own pocket after returning to Beijing. These thousand adults listened to the majesty, and there was no one else who did his job.

After arriving in Beishan Village, Su Tong was arranged to live in a family surnamed Liu, and the three-room west house was empty.

The two of them lived here first, and then they inquired with Li Zheng about buying a house in the village.

It is not so easy to buy a house in this kind of village, and the family is only that house, and they are all living together for generations. The family moved out to sell the house at all, their fields were all here, and their roots were here.

There is only one situation where someone may sell the house, that is, the family is dead, and the family will help sell the house and land with the help of the same clan.

Li Zheng means that they will live in the west house of Lao Liu's house first, and wait slowly for someone to sell the house soon.

Su Tong wondered, why did he conclude that someone would sell the house soon? Ke Li Zheng didn't say it explicitly, and he didn't want to ask too much.

Why is it called Kitayama Village? Because there is a big mountain a few miles north of the village, their village is the closest to the mountain, maybe it can be called Shannan Village.

More than two miles to the west of the village is the Songwa River, so almost all the houses in the village have fishing nets hanging on the walls.

It had snowed here in early September, and it was only in October that they arrived in Beishan Village, and the mountains north of the village were already white. On a sunny day, the sun shines on the mountain, and I can't even look up, and my eyes hurt.

There was a thick layer of snow on the roof, and it rained all night last night, and Liu Laoshi, who got up early and lived in the east house, took a lot of effort to push open the door.

This is a countryman in his fifties, with a black and red face full of folds, which seem to be darker. The thick calluses on the thick black palms and the bone joints on the fingers are particularly thick. The reason for the perennial work is that the fingers don't seem to be straight, just like his back is always so bent.

A green cloth jacket and trousers, an old green cloth belt around the waist is tightly fastened, so that it can prevent the wind from getting into the cotton jacket.

He wore a dogskin hat on his head, and the green cloth surface hung on the outside of the hat, perhaps it had been used for a long time, and the green cloth surface was black and shiny, and at first glance I thought it was a good leather.

The cigarette pouch with an ebony rod pinned to his waist, and the copper tobacco pouch pot was the brightest object on his whole body. Holding a big broom tied to bamboo, he swept the snow in the yard with a bang.

When they swept up to a pile, they dragged themselves to a wooden plough with snow nailed to it, and a large wicker basket on top of it, shoveled all the snow into the basket and dragged it out of the yard.

I didn't go far, there was a ditch outside the wall of each house, and all the swill in the house was poured into the ditch. Now it's snowing, and it's pouring into the ditch.

Then sweep out a road outside the courtyard gate, and sweep it straight to the door of the neighbor in the west courtyard, and the family will continue to sweep over, and the snow on the whole road will be swept away before breakfast.

When the snow was cleared, the courtyard door was open, and the pigs, chickens, ducks, and geese were not shut up, and they came out of the open gate to find food.

This is the case in the countryside, except for large mules, horses, and cows, which will be tied up for fear of being lost, the rest are free-range, and if you can eat more outside, you can save some food at home. Every family is like this, and no one will be so blind to close other people's livestock, chickens and ducks.

The men of the family went back after sweeping the snow, and the gate of the yard was not closed, leaving a door for the livestock who went out to find food, and it was also convenient for the neighbors to come to the door to chat.

Follow the local customs, the men in this village are all wearing green cloth jackets and pants, and Su Tong has been dressed up like this since he hit this side. A green cloth belt was tied around his waist, but there was no cigarette pouch with an ebony rod.

There was a cheesecloth around his neck, and he couldn't tell what color it was. After breakfast, Yue'er was doing needlework on the kang, so he got dressed and went out.

Yue'er asked him on the kang, "Are you going to Lizheng's house?" ”

"If I don't go to his house, I'll walk around the village."

"Didn't I buy you a dog skin hat at the market yesterday, go out and wear a little, it's too snowy here."

Su Tong took the hat and put it on, and asked Yue'er with a smile: "Look, I look like a man in this village, right?" ”

Yue'er smiled: "No, you just wear an animal skin or look like a prince." ”

Su Zhi learned from Liu Honest's appearance, bent his waist, and Yue'er laughed. In her laughter, Su Tong walked out of the house, but he didn't bend over.

This figure is really a bit eye-catching in this village, and there are old girls who go to the neighbor's house with needlework, and they have to peek a few times when they walk past him.

Su Zhi used to have a cold face outside, and this time was no exception, so no one stepped forward to greet him, but the women who met together had to talk a few words.

Walking to the penultimate house in the west of the village, Su Tong stopped outside the door. Yes, he came here on purpose.

After living in the past few days, he found that the chimney rarely smokes, and the window paper is also tattered. When I came out at night, I saw that there was an old woman living in this house, and I didn't usually see her interacting with anyone.

Su Tong remembered what Li Zheng said, Xu was waiting for him when this mother-in-law was gone, so let Su Tong buy her house.

The woman pushed the door out, a torn cotton jacket on her body, and in some places it was torn to reveal the cotton, and she looked at the patches on her body for some years, thinking that she hadn't made up for it in the past few years.

Tossing and turning inside and out, I don't know what she's doing. It seems that she is busy working, and I haven't seen her put anything in place.
