The sound of firecrackers is the old year, and fireworks welcome the new year.

In this festival of national celebration and family reunion, in the remote and backward mountainous areas of Shuchuan Province, in the Wohuling Village, where the name cannot be seen on the map, in the courtyard of the Zhai family of the big family, the festive Spring Festival couplets are plastered in front of every house.

Adjacent to the house of the head of the family, Zhai Chuan'an, in the house where Wen Shuo, Ma Youcheng, and Chen Shijie temporarily lived a few months ago, and the couple from other places lived more than two months ago.

It is said that Zhai Chuanan earned a lot of rent because of this.

The couple from other places, in their forties, their husbands travel around the mountains and rivers every day, and sometimes there will be villagers because Ma Youcheng lived in the Zhai family, bidding to buy old objects, but they didn't catch up, and now they see that the Zhai family has come to live with rich people from other places, so they hold the mentality of hope, and take the old objects found by digging three feet into the ground for a few months, and ask the outsider to appreciate them, and this is obviously a very knowledgeable player, and occasionally he will really collect three or two good things.

His wife, at first glance, was the kind of virtuous and kind person who was at home, and every day she cleaned up the housework, washed and washed up, went to the neighborhood and neighbor's house to buy some rice, noodles and vegetables, and would walk with the neighbors to the town and the market to buy goods, and bargain with the merchants on the street.

After a long time, the villagers will discuss in private, feeling that this rich couple really plans to settle down in our Wohuling Village?

No, the New Year's Day is not gone.

Their son, who is in college at Sichuan University, also rushed to the village to celebrate the New Year together.

It's weird.

How can such a rich person not live in the city, but come to live and settle in our poor ravines for a long time.

Could it be that life in the city is not as good as in the mountains?!

The main entrance of the hall is hung with thick cotton curtains, the windows are sealed with oiled paper, and in the living room on the right side of the door, there is a flaming red round iron stove burning in the middle, which is the kind of charcoal burning stove, because the furnace is made of iron, so the whole body will emit extremely high heat, and then there is a long iron chimney erected, and then from the top to the top of the horizontal frame to the top of the window, leading to the outside of the house, this iron chimney also dissipates heat, it can play a better heating role.

It's just that compared with the heating in the city, especially in the northern city, it is still much worse.

However, Jing Bai and his wife Wu Chunxiu didn't care about this.

Jing Bai has practiced the Xuanfa for half his life, although he can't talk about the so-called physique that is invulnerable to cold and heat in the legend, but he is not as afraid of cold as ordinary people. And Wu Chunxiu, who served the elderly alone in the early years, raised his son, worked hard for so many years, and was a traditional and honest character, so he would not care about the cold of winter.

It's just a matter of wearing something thicker.

Afternoon.

Jing Bai was sitting on a recliner by the fire, reading a book with a calm expression.

The bamboo chaise longue was covered with thick felt, the legs and abdomen were covered with a thin blanket, and the heat from the stove gave it a warm and comfortable feeling.

His wife sat on the other side of the stove, gently rocking a spinning wheel.

Living in the mountains, the children were not around, and there was more leisure time, so Wu Chunxiu learned some spinning skills with the women in the mountains, borrowed a spinning wheel, and thought about borrowing the neighbor's loom to weave a few sheets after the spring.

Old spinning wheels and looms are now difficult to see in many parts of the country, even in rural areas.

But it is still prevalent in this great mountain.

As soon as the door curtain was lifted, a cold wind swept into the house, and then the door curtain fell, and the light in the house changed for a moment, and then returned to normal.

Jing Bai, who was reading a book, raised his eyelids, frowned slightly and glared at his son with some dissatisfaction, but he didn't say anything, his eyelids drooped slightly and continued to read.

"Mom, Dad!"

Jing Dingxian carried two colorful pheasants with long feathered tails in his hands, and said happily: "I really shot it down with a slingshot, hey! I ran for more than ten miles of mountain roads, and tonight Chinese New Year's Eve night, there is another hard dish, so what...... Dad, you have to open your own bar at night?"

"Go and change your clothes, this kid, what are you doing in the mountains?" Wu Chunxiu reprimanded softly with a doting and loving face.

Jing Dingxian grinned and threw the two pheasants to the ground and ran to the bedroom to change clothes.

Jing Bai glanced at his son's back and snorted softly, but his face was full of old comfort.

In the blink of an eye, my son was already a sophomore.

Handsome, 1.85 meters tall, active by nature, from childhood to adulthood, the academic performance is not very good, but it is not far off, the college entrance examination was admitted to Shuchuan University with excellent results, majoring in architectural design.

Although Jing Bai has neglected to discipline his children for many years because he has been away all the year round, and he has very little time with his children, his wife Wu Chunxiu, who has little culture, has raised her children with pure personal conduct, not only has no estrangement and dissatisfaction between him and his father, but the relationship between father and son is extremely good.

In the hall, peace was restored.

The squeaking sound of the spinning wheel made the room feel calmer.

Living in the mountains, there are not too many tedious affairs, so the daily time is quite abundant, and time seems to be very slow in this mountain village. The New Year's goods needed for the Spring Festival have already been purchased in a leisurely manner, and all the needs of the Chinese New Year's Eve Chinese New Year's Eve meal have been prepared.

Seeming to be a little tired of reading, Jing Bai closed the book and put it on the small wooden table next to him.

Here, there is no coffee table.

Only the low square wooden table built by the carpenter in the village, even when eating, the family also sat around the small wooden table, sitting on a low wooden bench.

Seeing this, Wu Chunxiu got up and went to make a cup of hot tea for Jing Bai, and then sat quietly in front of the spinning wheel to spin the thread.

"Huh?" Jing Bai looked at his wife with affection on his face, nodded with a smile and said, "I have no opinion, I'm afraid that when the time comes, you won't be able to be idle, and you won't be able to let go of your son, and then you won't be annoyed by others all day long, and then you will take care of the children and cook for others......"

"Who will cook for the children?" Wu Chunxiu was stunned.

"To your son and daughter-in-law. Jing Bai smiled: "In a few years, you will be a grandmother." ”

Wu Chunxiu thought about it, then nodded very seriously, a little disappointed, but said with more joy and yearning: "Or do you think far, then we are really too old to run, and our grandchildren have grown up, we are really useless, come here to live again." ”

"Ming'er, when I saw Zhai Chuan'an, I told him to move my hukou to their village, buy another piece of land, and build the house first. Jing Bai smiled while drinking tea.

"What's the hurry?" Wu Chunxiu said, "It's going to be a long time." ”

"You love it here. Jing Bai said: "In the future, we will often come here to live...... Besides, young people nowadays will hate us for dragging our feet. ”

Wu Chunxiu thought about it, then nodded happily and continued to spin.

Jing Bai looked at his virtuous wife, his heart was warm, and a little sour - because of guilt, because he owed his wife too much.

For this ideal of the rivers and lakes, how many years of hardship have I paid.

But that is my own ideal, and I should pay hardships, constantly work hard towards the goal, and even take risks.

What about wives?

She is just in a loyal and virtuous nature, doing a duty that she thinks she should be, for more than 20 years.

Therefore, the wife who usually speaks little, suddenly said those words with emotion just now, in fact, the root cause is that the wife with a traditional and virtuous heart just lived with her husband every day in the days when she lived in Wohuling, she could wash and cook for her husband every day, and she had her husband lying by her side when she slept every day, which made her reluctant to be happy.

Just as he was stunned, the mobile phone on the small wooden table rang twice.

It's a text message tone.

Jing Bai picked up the mobile phone and looked at it, it was sent by Wen Shuo: "Chinese New Year's Eve, suddenly remembered that Mr. is far away in Shuchuan, I don't know what the situation is now? Wen Shuo respectfully, greeting the New Year in advance, wishing Mr. all the best and his family well." ”

Jing Bai smiled and replied with a text message: "Happy New Year, everything is as usual, don't read it." ”

Putting down the phone, Jing Bai's inner emotions of emotion, sourness, and guilt because of his sorry wife before were gone.

Instead, there is a firm and even somewhat cold heart.

In the peaceful and prosperous era, in the process of revival to prosperity of Xuanmen rivers and lakes, the surging tide is rolling, and if you want to reach the top of this river and lake, you must always step on the crest of the turbulent waves and lead the rivers and lakes.

In the original plan, it was like dealing with Murong Qiujiang, living in this Wohuling for a long time, waiting for work and waiting for the rabbit.

But as time went by, constantly hearing the news on the rivers and lakes, Jing Bai changed his plan more than half a month ago - he took the initiative to spread the news of his long-term residence in a remote mountain village in Shuchuan to the Xuanmen rivers and lakes.

Because, he originally issued a killing order in the Xuanmen rivers and lakes, and then personally killed Murong Qiujiang in Zhonghai, which made him more and more famous in the Xuanmen rivers and lakes.

Although it is not yet prestigious, it has caused a great shock to the hearts of people in the rivers and lakes.

Words must be done, deeds must be fruitful!

Hold fast to the right path and do what is right!

Xuanmen physiognomy master, Jing Bai is also!

Therefore, Jing Bai decided not to wait for Tang Quanbao to come to punish the Kang family and the Zhai family, and then kill Tang Quanbao with justice. Instead, before Tang Quanbao knew that the Yin Soul Blood Curse of Zhai and Kang had been lifted, let him know that Jing Bai lived in Wohuling Village.

This is a gesture.

An extremely tough stance!

Although Jing Bai did not spread to the rivers and lakes, why did he go to live in this remote Shuchuan mountain village, but thinking of the battle of Zhonghai Pujia Town, how could the people in the rivers and lakes not hesitate, and Master Jing, who entered Shuchuan with the victory, must have been to preside over the morality of the rivers and lakes again, right?

And Tang Quanbao, under the rat trap, what choice will he make?!

At least, the people of the Zhai and Kang families don't have to take risks.
