Great Yin Wu Dynasty, Jiayou 18 years.

The twentieth day of the lunar month, Ho Jing, heavy snow.

The biting cold wind howled into the streets and alleys of Hojing, and from the garden of the rich and noble people on the roadside, pieces of plum petals were rolled out, mixed with goose feathers and snowflakes, and swept over the courtyards and roof tiles one after another.

In the southeast of the Imperial City of Hojing, it is the Min'an Fang of the four major squares of Yipin Shangfang, Yushun, Cathay and Min'an.

On the east side of Min'an Fang, separated by an artificial canal that is several miles wide, is the second grade Shangfang Anle Fang.

Anle Fang, what a nobleman.

Those who can lay a foundation in Anle Fang are mostly wealthy families in Zhumen purple robes.

In recent years, the most famous and extravagant big man in Anle Fang is none other than Lu Yang (tai, through 'big', through 'daylight').

Covering an area of nearly 1,000 acres, the north of the magnificent Tianenhou Mansion is the rain and dew alley of the back street of the Hou Mansion.

The whole back street is nearly three miles long, and the north and south of the street are neat and tidy courtyards, inhabited by the people of the Tianenhou Mansion of the Lu clan in Jingyang.

At the westernmost end of Yulu Hutong, there is a small courtyard next to the No. 1 Canal Wharf of Anlefang.

It was freezing and the canal was frozen.

At dawn, teams of sleds were dragged by fat and sturdy snowdogs, carrying daily necessities such as firewood, salt, rice and flour like a hill, like shuttles on the canal ice that was several miles wide.

In the 'hissing' sound of the sleigh rubbing against the ice, Lu Yan (xian, known as 'Xian'), who was wearing a thin green cloth placket and a large cotton coat, opened the door of the main house on the north side of the small courtyard, and took a deep breath of cold and biting cold.

The cold air entered the abdomen, and the whole body was cool, and Lu Yan's resolute and dignified face showed a warm smile.

Walking out of the room slowly and moving his arms and legs, Lu Yan raised his head and looked at the cloudy sky.

"Heh, Ruixue Zhaofeng year."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, wrong, wrong. It should be, I would have turned my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch! ”

Twisting his fingers, Lu Yan muttered.

"In the fifteenth year of Jiayou, after the thank-you banquet, I slipped and broke my left calf after drinking."

"In the sixteenth year of Jiayou, after the thank-you banquet, I went downstairs and rolled down and broke my right calf."

"Yesterday last year, it was still the end of the clan school after the teacher appreciation banquet, I fell on the toilet and broke my left thigh. Tsk, but you still have no remorse. ”

"Or, this year, three legs together?"

Lu Yan smiled and pinched his fingers.

"Learn smart, yesterday the clan was dissipated, you said that your health was not good, and the teacher appreciation banquet was changed to tonight."

"Avoiding yesterday, can you avoid today? Scold! ”

"Do you want to fold your legs together?"

"Could it be a little too cruel? It's not a deep hatred, that is, deliberately embarrassing me, for four years in a row, giving me four Taoist topics that I can't do, can't do, and cause trouble if I do it! ”

"There is no hatred for no reason."

"I am usually in the ethnology, and in the clan, I am all plain, ordinary and transparent people."

"Why are you making things difficult for me for no reason?"

"What kind of grudge do we have, what kind of grudge?"

In a low voice, Lu Yan walked to the well in the small courtyard.

In the middle of winter, Lu Yan stripped off his clothes, grabbed a bucket, fetched a bucket of water from the well, and splashed it on himself.

After splashing seven or eight buckets of water in a row, Lu Yan, who was steaming all over his body, dipped his fingers in some coarse salt and brushed his teeth fiercely.

After brushing his teeth, the water on his body has been evaporated by his body temperature.

Lu Yan stretched his body vigorously against the cold wind, yawned pleasantly, and then put his clothes back on and strode to the east side of the courtyard.

In the corner of the east wing, a small piece of green bamboo is planted here, and although it is snowing in the cold winter, this small piece of bamboo is still verdant.

Lu Yan hissed a few times, and in the dense bamboo leaves covered by snow, a small snake with the thickness of a thumb and more than three feet long swam down lightly with a bamboo pole.

This little snake has a turquoise body, and its scales are as crystal clear as gemstones, not as gloomy and hideous as ordinary snakes, but rather a little spiritual and cute.

In such a cold winter, ordinary snakes have long hibernated and frozen, but this emerald snake is very agile and lively.

The green snake slid down the bamboo pole in front of Lu Yan, opened its delicate little mouth, and 'hissed' and spat out the letter.

Lu Yan took out two fresh eggs from his sleeve, and the first half of the emerald snake's body was as fast as lightning and pounced forward, swallowing the two eggs alive. It swayed its body and gently rubbed Lu Yan's palm, which looked particularly intimate.

"Go, go, rest."

Lu Yan patted the head of the emerald snake, turned around and walked to the backyard.

In Lu Yan's courtyard, behind the five main houses on the north side, there is a piece of land with a size of half an acre, which is planted with some common vegetables and fruits on weekdays, but now it has been covered with a thick layer of snow.

Directly north of the backyard, Lu Yan dug a puddle of water one foot square.

In the middle of winter, the water in this puddle is more than three feet deep, and it has frozen into ice.

A millstone-sized, jet-black snapping turtle was lying lazily on the ice.

Hearing Lu Yan's footsteps, the snapping turtle poked out its long neck and let out a 'cooing' sound, and its soybean-sized eyes rolled wildly, looking particularly agile and even a little treacherous.

Lu Yan squatted beside the puddle and pulled out two pieces of fresh lean pork.

The snapping turtle opened its big mouth, swallowed two pieces of fist-sized lean meat one by one, nodded lightly to Lu Yan, and retracted its head and limbs into the turtle shell, lying quietly on the ice.

Lu Yan stretched out his hand, touched the snapping turtle's rugged and piercing back armor, got up and walked to the west side of the courtyard.

On the west side of the courtyard, in the corner of the west wing, a small shack was built.

A white and chubby rabbit (feline, fierce) was lying lazily in the shack, and when he saw Lu Yan coming over, this guy stared at the blue and faint eyes, and roared twice very unceremoniously.

Lu Yan hurriedly took out two pieces of chicken breast, and put two fresh eggs in front of the rabbit.

"Uncle, you eat first, it's not enough later, you can greet the small one!"

"Don't disturb your meal, you can enjoy it slowly!"

Lu Yan smiled flatteringly at the rabbit, stretched out his hand and stroked it twice, and then plucked its chin, smiled and took small steps, and ran to the south of the yard with a smoke in the impatient 'haha' drive of the rabbit.

The rabbit pressed one paw on a piece of chicken breast, his eyes crooked towards Lu Yan's back, and he spewed cold air from his nostrils.

Under the eaves of the sundries house to the south, there is a large bird cage forged from stainless steel.

A large parrot with a fiery red body, no variegation, a body length of about a foot and a half, and a tail feather length of more than a foot and a half, stood in the birdcage, tilting its head to look at Lu Yan who was trotting over.

"Your mom blew up!"

"Your mom blew up!"

"Your mother blew it to shreds!"

The parrot suddenly spoke, howling hysterically at the top of its throat.

"Hey, here, here!"

Lu Yan hurriedly ran to the birdcage, took out a large handful of dried nuts and threw them into the birdcage's food plate.

The big parrot glanced at Lu Yan with slanted eyes, shook its feathers, lowered its head, and slowly nibbled on the dried fruit.

"You're all masters!"

Lu Yan pointed to the clump of bamboo in the east, the puddle in the north, and the shack in the west, reached into the birdcage, and stabbed the big parrot's fat belly fiercely.

"You guys, I owe you in my last life?"

"It's still rhubarb!"

Lu Yan sighed, clapped his hands, and walked into the kitchen next to the utility room.

After a loud noise, a faint column of smoke floated out of the kitchen chimney, and after a while, the smell of porridge wafted through the small courtyard.

Standing on the ground, the head and neck are almost waist-high, nearly seven feet long from head to tail, the whole body is yellow hair, oily and shiny, the length is fat, strong and energetic, the big yellow dog holds a huge iron basin, slowly walks out of the main house.

The big yellow dog held the iron basin in his mouth, walked slowly through the small courtyard, and squatted quietly at the kitchen door.

A quarter of an hour later.

The big yellow dog lay on the ground, licking the meat porridge in the iron basin very calmly.

In its meat porridge, there are also a few eggs, the meat, egg, and rice are mixed together, and the aroma of the end is tangy, which is very watery.

Lu Yan held a white porcelain bowl, squatted beside the big yellow dog, and drank meat porridge in small sips without chopsticks or soup spoons.

'Silsilly Soso', 'Si Si Soso'.

The rabbit was full of food and drink, shaking its fat and walked out of the shack, and circled around the small courtyard, looking like a landlord and old wealth inspecting his own fields.

The parrot was also full of dried fruits, and its short fur stood up, and it squeezed its head out of the gap in the fence of the birdcage, and challenged the rabbit that was eating in circles after the meal.

"Girl, give me a smile to uncle!"

The rabbit's long fur exploded like a ball of lightning, and it jumped up a few feet high, and buckled its paw to the cage.

Just listen to the 'ding' sound, and the rabbit's paws pull out a few small sparks on the birdcage.

In a bush of dense bamboo leaves, the emerald snake poked its head out sneakily and peeked in this direction.

The big yellow dog finished eating the meat porridge in the iron basin, shook the long hair on his body, stood up, and roared at the big parrot in the birdcage.

The parrot died down and retracted its head back into the birdcage.

The big yellow dog walked up to the fried rabbit and pressed one paw on the rabbit's head.

The original fierce rabbit was completely dissipated, and the long hair on its body was extremely soft and pasted back to its body, and it screamed, rubbing its head on the legs of the big yellow dog.

Lu Yan also happened to finish drinking the porridge, he grabbed the iron basin of the big yellow dog, walked to the well in the corner of the yard, and kicked the rabbit's ass by the way: "Bully the soft and afraid of the hard dog thing!" ”

The big yellow dog's eyes widened, and he looked at Lu Yan in shock, the corners of his mouth drooped, and he looked very hurt.

'Bell bell'!

Someone knocked heavily on the door of the small courtyard, and an ugly male duck voice came in: "Brother Yan, Brother Yan?" Hurry up, Madame will call you. Hurry, hurry, don't you dare to let Madame wait for you! ”

Lu Yan, who had already walked to the well, grabbed the bucket and was about to throw it into the well to draw water, was stunned, put down the bucket, shook the snow flakes on his hands, and ran all the way to the gate of the courtyard.

"Who's this early in the morning?"

Lu Yan opened the deadbolt and opened the courtyard door, and a cold wind blew in front of him.

A middle-aged man wrapped in a rabbit skin jacket, with triangular eyes and a triangular face, and a rather scathing appearance, grabbed Lu Yan's arm and dragged him out.

"Hurry up, Madame called you."

"Brother Yan, I can tell you, Madame has been angry for the past two days, don't disobey her, everything is according to her!"

"If you anger Madame, you will be sad this year! Watch your skin! ”
