Qijia Village is located in a mountain col in the northwest of the plain, facing the Sanggan River.

Stepping into the entrance of the village, there is a winding dirt and stone path, and on both sides are mostly houses made of trees and hay, which are scattered.

At this time, it is almost dusk, the chickens and dogs in the village are barking, the smoke is curling, although the appearance is simple, but it is full of vitality, under the reflection of the sunset, the village is covered with a layer of poetry, and there is a peace and tranquility in the world.

When Hua Kai followed Old Man Qi into the village, this small village was alarmed.

In such a remote small village, it is common not to see outsiders for several years, especially such a handsome and extraordinarily handsome young man.

The men, women and children of a village heard the wind and watched him like a monkey, among which the big girls and little daughters-in-law, I don't know if they were located in the border area, because they had learned the customs of the Hu people, their style was extremely open and bold, and their eyes looked at him unscrupulously, as if they were going to eat him alive.

Xu is the reason for the old man Qi, and the men in the village did not treat him, an outsider, as a thief, to guard against it, and his eyes were simple and kind.

Until Hua Kai came to the old man Qi's humble house in a bit of embarrassment, and someone came to the door with some eggs, dried fish, dried meat and the like.

It's just a visitor, the whole village is mobilized, and it's really a simple village that is frighteningly hospitable.

Old Man Qi finally blasted away these enthusiastic villagers, and Hua Kai breathed a sigh of relief.

Old Man Qi led him to the house, and said only way: "The people of the mountains and wilderness, they don't know what etiquette is, so the little boy laughs." ”

Hua Kai said with a smile: "Why should my husband be like this, the people here are simple, but they are a hundred times stronger than many well-dressed and dignified people." ”

Old Man Qi's wrinkled face bloomed with a smile, he didn't have so many ideas, he just heard that Hua Kai was praising his family, and he was very happy.

When he entered the house, he rubbed his hands and said cautiously: "The family is simple, I am afraid that I will wronged the little son." ”

Hua Kai saw it in his eyes and sighed secretly: "Uncle, I am not a delicate person, I am grateful to have a place to live, but I bothered my husband." ”

"Hey, it's not in the way, when you're out of the house, you should support each other, and you shouldn't be thanked."

Old Man Qi was afraid that he would snub the other party, and when he saw him say this, he relaxed his heart slightly, and shouted to Xiao Douding, who had been reluctant to leave Fuyun Horse outside: "Dog baby! Don't be greedy, go and call your father back, just say that there is a guest at home, let him bring some wild things, go to Anjing Fort to exchange some grain and rice, and come back. ”

Hua Kai didn't know where the Anjing Fort he was talking about, but it didn't sound like a simple matter, so he hurriedly stopped: "Uncle, it's just a day off, you don't need to be so troublesome." ”

"It's not troublesome, it's not troublesome, then Anjing Fort is not far away, just go and go back."

Seeing that Hua Kai couldn't stop it, he simply said directly: "You want to do this, just to drive me away?" ”

Old Man Qi didn't know the meaning of coaxing in his words, he just thought that he really didn't do something right and neglected someone, so he hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, then follow the little boy, don't go, don't go, dog, go and call your father back." ”

"Okay!"

Although Xiao Douding was reluctant to take the big horse, he was also sensible, and immediately threw off his short legs and ran away.

Hua Kai breathed a sigh of relief, he knew that the people here were so enthusiastic, he wouldn't come, he had lived alone for a long time, and in the face of other people's enthusiasm, he would always have some burden and resistance.

In addition to this overwhelming enthusiasm, I was quite comfortable this night in Qijia Village, and I also took the opportunity to learn about the world from Old Man Qi and his son, but their knowledge was limited and they didn't know much.

There are only these three people in the old man's family, and he originally had three sons.

However, these three sons seven years ago, when Song Taizu Zhao Guangyi led a large army to attack the Northern Han Dynasty, they all went to join the army when recruiting the township army, although the battle destroyed the Northern Han Dynasty, his two sons died on the battlefield, and only the second son survived, but also lost a left arm.

And the world is also because of this war and embarked on a fork in the road, originally in the history he knew, Zhao Guangyi in this battle, first defeated the Liao army, and then broke Taiyuan, and destroyed the Northern Han Dynasty, which was a rare victory for the Song Dynasty, laying the cornerstone for the enterprising clouds.

But in this world, although this Song Taizong also won this battle and destroyed the Northern Han Dynasty, he himself was seriously injured in this battle, although he saved his life, but left hidden dangers, and in the next few years, he died due to the recurrence of the old disease.

The third son, Zhao Heng, inherited the throne, but ascended to the throne more than ten years earlier than the original Song Zhenzong he knew.

The rest of the old man Qi and his son didn't know much, they were all trivial things, and Hua Kai couldn't hear anything.

I was a little curious about that Song Taizong, the dignified Ninety-Five Honor, who really went to the battlefield in person, and returned injured, which is definitely a miracle.

The so-called Son of Heaven pro-conquest, many times is just for show, although with the army, but it must be protected by the army layer by layer, to be a mascot, as long as you can do not blindly command, pull the hind legs of bad things, is the Ming Jun Shengjun.

If you can still know military affairs, know strategy, and command a large army to fight, then you are eloquent and strategic, wise and martial.

But no matter what, it's just sitting in the Chinese army, strictly guarding to the death, where can it really be on the battlefield?

I am afraid that there are only a handful of founding emperors in history who can really go into battle and tear them apart.

This one is powerful, he went directly into battle to tear and kill, and put his life into it.

Hua Kai pulled the old man Qi and his son to talk in the middle of the night, and got up early the next morning to find that the family of three had already started the day's work, even the little bean was no exception.

On the low table in the room, there was still some food, which had been prepared for him earlier.

I don't know what it is, mixed with some unknown grass roots and other things, the bun is black and dry, hard, and has a strange smell.

The soup boiled with dried fish, although it is a little fishy, has a salty taste, and it can finally be swallowed.

I thought that the fish soup was still taken out because of the hospitality to him, and thinking of what he ate last night, Hua Kai felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Life in this village is so difficult, and yesterday those villagers were able to see him as an outsider, and they gave away many things that were rare for them.

Silently ate the food that was hard to swallow, but a little unbearable heavy. Hua Kai was thinking in his heart about how to repay this family and these enthusiastic villagers.

When I walked to the door, I saw the son of the old man Qi, Qi Er was holding a knife, with a rope on his shoulder, and a leather belt tied around his waist, and he was about to go out.

He was curious: "Second Brother Qi, where are you going?" ”

Qi Lao Er smiled innocently: "Little boy, you are awake, I will go into the mountains to hunt." ”

Hua Kai remembered what he heard last night, this Qi Lao Er had been a soldier, had been on the battlefield, and had a little kung fu in his hands, and the Pu knife was also obtained by him on the battlefield, and he knew how to fly knives with one hand, and he wanted to come to the leather belt on his waist with flying knives.
