Many stone houses in Wall Village are made of limestone, the roof is a wooden tripod structure, and there is a main beam in the stone house.

This time, the old village chief decided to repair the house, but simply reinforced, with oak planks, the tripod on the stone roof, and then renovated the broken wooden doors and windows of some villagers' homes, at least there would not be the kind of situation where some small beasts in the villagers were sleeping and inexplicably burrowed into the room.

Re-laying red thatch on the roof is something that the villagers of Wall do almost every year.

Generally speaking, the need for the neighbors to help each other with red thatch on the roof, only enough people can remove the old thatch from the roof in one day, and before the sun sets, the roof is covered with a thick layer of new red thatch, if the day cannot be done, then you can only lie in bed and count the stars at night.

The villagers will discuss in private, the roof of the grass days staggered, and everyone will prepare red thatch in advance on the side of the river bend tidal flat, these red thatch is not just dry, but also after a simple combing, and the red thatch into a bunch of spare, the binding technique is also very important, each bunch of red thatch is too tight and too loose, the red thatch on the roof of Surdak's house is because Rita tied the red thatch too tightly last year, resulting in serious rain leakage on the roof before the rainy season.

According to the practice of Wall Village, the old village chief asked people to catch a yellow sheep from Beigou back, and nearly 100 villagers ate a big pot of rice together, a yellow sheep is only enough to cook a pot of fragrant mutton soup, with half of the baked crispy wheat cakes, it is already a delicacy that can only be eaten in the festival gathering of Wall villagers.

However, it was just in time for Surdak to bring back some horse meat last night, and although it was distributed to the villagers that night, most of the villagers had not eaten it, so the horse meat gathered together, hung in a soup pot and cooked, and then the women of the village who were skilled at cooking cut it into offal with the internal organs, and filled it into the cracks of the scones, making a crispy meat patty with a stuffed meat filling.

As a noble reserve knight, Surdak naturally did not need to go to the neighbor's house to help.

So while everyone was busy, he was the only one who seemed to have nothing to do, so he took over the responsibility of taking care of little Peter from Natasha, because even Rita and Natasha had to go to the central square of the village to help with the cooking.

The two large iron pot noodles in the square in the center of the village are boiling mutton soup, and at this time, the children are not allowed to enter the village square until they eat, because they are afraid that they will be burned if they secretly pick up the edge of the pot.

Surdak sat under a dead tree at the entrance of the village and felt a little headache when he saw little Peter and a group of younger children preparing to dig up some mud by the river.

He was already in a hurry to take care of little Peter here, and the other children in the village actually came over, and now these children were actually planning to dig yellow mud by the stream, Surdak felt that this matter must be stopped, if any child accidentally fell into the water, then he would inevitably have to take the blame here.

He thought about it, got up from the root of the tree, and walked over to little Peter.

"Dad, are you going with me to dig in the mud by the river?"

Little Peter was about to take his friends to the stream when he looked up and saw Surdak coming, so he asked in a childish voice.

"Daddy doesn't want to dig in the mud, Rita will lose her temper if she soils her clothes, I've got something more fun here......" said Surdak, picking up a dead twig and drawing a very simple lattice of an airplane on the ground.

"yes, Rita will spank me when she's angry." Little Peter seemed to remember Rita's angry look, and chimed in.

Later, little Peter saw the square drawn by Surdak on the ground, and immediately asked curiously, "Dad, what are you?" ”

Surdak touched little Peter's soft hair, smiled at him and said, "This is called jumping grid, you watch me do a demonstration, you should dance like this......"

Little Peter's eyes widened, watching Surdak jump quickly a few times in the plane grid, and then jumped back flexibly, and suddenly felt that this game seemed to be very interesting, and immediately argued: "Daddy let me come, let me ......"

The other children were also ready to move, and when Surdak saw that he had succeeded in diverting the attention of the group of children, he immediately began to maintain order and ordered the group of children: "Don't worry, everyone line up, everyone has a chance, take turns." ”

So at the entrance of the village, the merchants in the caravan set up stalls.

In front of them, a group of small children began to line up in a very orderly manner and danced the checkered.

There are rules for jumping the grid, so there is no need for Surdak to stand by and watch all the time.

He returned to the dead tree, idly holding a whetstone and sharpening his Roman sword.

Suddenly, he noticed that in the shadows below the dead there was a little girl squatting.

He hadn't even noticed that the little girl in tattered clothes looked to be only four or five years old, skinny, and she was crouching motionless under the tree with her hands and legs folded, her chin resting on her knees, looking like a little quail with a clenched neck in the cold wind.

Her eyes were also attracted by the group of children who were jumping on the grid, but it seemed that she was a little timid and unwilling to take the initiative, and those children had no intention of inviting her to play a game.

"Why don't you jump?" Surdak leaned over and asked the little girl softly.

The little girl was taken aback, she didn't expect someone to talk to her, she blinked her eyes with a hint of turquoise, buried her little face between her legs, and replied in a very small voice: "Mom won't let me run around......"

Surdak asked curiously, "What's your name?" ”

"Signa." The little girl replied briefly.

Surdak wanted to talk more to the little girl, who seemed to be very introverted, but by this time the women of the village had already come to the entrance of the village, and the women gathered the children at the entrance of the village and beckoned everyone to have dinner.

When Signa saw a plainly dressed woman come out of the crowd of women, her eyes immediately brightened, and she immediately stood up and ran merrily, and 'slipped 'thump' under the woman's skirt, and she occasionally lifted her long skirt and looked out curiously with her little eyes.

Surdak recognized the beautiful woman in front of him as Selena, and he was impressed by the most beautiful widow in the village.

Charlie had told him that this woman was called an ominous person by the villagers, as if she had some kind of curse on her, and everyone did not want to deal with her.

The woman, holding her linen dress in one hand, glanced at Surdak faintly, and without saying a word, turned back to the village.
