Outside the North Village, there are few people, except for wind and snow, there is nothing else.

Around the bonfire, the two of them were in pairs and feasted.

"Hey! Emperor Dusk, don't say it, this barren mountain is a little bit off. But this game is really delicious. It's delicious, it's delicious! In the clan, there are countless kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas, and at first I didn't eat enough, but then I wanted to vomit when I looked at it. I thought that if I came out with you on this trip, I could eat and sleep in the open air, and I suffered all the way, and I had a good look at the hardships in this world. But how can this roasted hare be so delicious. This living being in the world is too tasteful! Wei Duoer kept chattering while gnawing on a rabbit leg. Even if you talk about how delicious this roast rabbit is, that mouth can still squeeze and speak.

Wei Duoer is not tall or strong, so-so and half the height of Emperor Li Dui's head. But the age is ten years older than Li Duhuang, and he was caught up in height by Li Duhuang, that is, a matter of one or two years. Compared with ordinary people's slender fingers, Wei Duoer's hands are much more interesting. The palms are small, the fingers are short, the tips of the ten fingers are round and thick, and the rabbit legs are grasped with both hands, and the mouth does not stop. The cotton kaftan on his body was stained with oil stains and dust. The boots on his feet are half off, and his two small eyes are matched with a big nose. It's kind of funny.

"It's better to call the master!"

Compared with Wei Duoer, Li Duhuang eats a lot. One by one, the roasted crispy rabbits are torn off and brought to their mouths to chew. Listening to Wei Duo'er's chatter, Emperor Li Duhuang didn't respond, just said casually, and continued to tear up the rabbit, staring at the distance all the time, thinking about things.

"Okay, Master Dusk. Have you ever noticed that the little brother is actually a genius. This rabbit is roasted, and every winter in the clan, find a place, roast dozens of him every day and sell it. I promise to make money, and I will mix some water with a pot of two taels of snowflake silver outside to ensure that it can be sold for five taels and one pot. Quietly my brain, lo and behold, I am really talented. In the future, the two of us will walk the rivers and lakes side by side, and it will definitely be smooth sailing, smooth sailing. Wei Duoer seemed to have eaten his full stomach and began to plan his daily life again.

Emperor Li Dui has long been accustomed to this, after all, Wei Duoer's ability to talk about flowers, among all the people he knows, can still be ranked first for the time being, and it is estimated that he will be ranked first for a period of time in the future.

"Then please trouble the little brother, you hurry up and eat, please wipe your mouth after eating, hold a handful of clean snow, wipe your face after two feet of dust, and then go and get things done!" Glancing at Wei Duo'er, looking at Wei Duo'er's sloppy appearance, Emperor Li Dui urged him for the first time.

"Understood, understood! It's not a big deal before! I don't care too lazy, rest assured, I promise to clean up neatly, and I won't discredit you. Hehe, but sir, your ability to damage people is really strong, two feet of dust, how thick is my face to catch so many layers of dust! Wei Duoer really dropped the almost clean rabbit legs, trotted aside, squatted in the snow, picked up the snow, wiped his face and hands, and picked it up.

Here, Emperor Li Duhuang also got up, patted the fur fur on his body, walked to the other side, squatted down, held a handful of snow, and rubbed his hands together.

------------

As the sun approached noon, the sun slowly and leisurely finally hung in the sky, and the snow on the ground began to melt little by little under the sun's rays. The speed was extremely slow, and despite the struggle, it still had to dissolve, and it was impossible to resist.

Inside the North Village, in the middle of the wheat field.

Qingfeng's father was taking the villagers to clean up the snow on the wheat field. On the other side of the wheat field, next to the wheat straw pile, leaning on a few old uncles who are not afraid of the cold, smashing their mouths as usual, smoking homemade inferior tobacco leaves, and muttering in their mouths:

"On this cold day, these little cubs were really taken up the mountain by the old pipes. It is so many years of going back and forth that the old pipe is extremely familiar with the situation on the mountain, otherwise I am really worried about whether the little cubs can bear it. ”

"Old fellow, you really think too much! How to say it in that sentence, people are worried. In the past few years, have you seen an old pipe make a mistake? When you and I were young, we were carried to the mountains by this old immortal, and that time we froze? Now that I think about it, the most gluttonous thing is the liquor in the dumb wine gourd. That bite down, ouch, don't mention it, it's really delicious! ”

"To let you say, I'm also a little hungry for that old burn, go down, warm!"

"By the way, counting the time, this time I went down the mountain, and a few children didn't have to go to the mountain! As soon as the year is over, it's time to start telling them about the level they are going to pass. Who's going to talk this year? I'm getting more and more confused, and I can't talk anymore! ”

"This year, let Li Sheng talk about it! We old bones, the outside world has been decades away from us. It's changed, it's not the same thing, I'm afraid of delaying the little cubs! ”

"It's because we're far away from the outside world, it's not that the outside world is far away from us, and we have no hope of going back."

"Old man, it's your heart the most, just stay here quietly and wait for death, the rest, we came back, or stayed outside, we have tried to change, it's not good luck, you and I are not enough, no regrets!"

"Alas!"

A few old people basking in the sun decided on a big thing so carelessly. A big thing about the children who are trying to catch rabbits in the mountains, led by Sangkook.

This group of old people also traveled far away at a young age, in groups of three or five, but except for those who could never return here, they all returned from the mountains one after another. All of them are broken, their beliefs are collapsed, and they are in fear all day long!

"Everyone, work hard, after this place is cleaned, you take the women to bring all the firewood and pile it here! Lao Li, Bai Hanzi, you two go back and get the axe, remember to bring the whetstone. Huang Baoshu, you call Wang Zhi and his father, call Zhao Xiaozi as well, and go to the entrance of Beicun to get some firewood and come back. I'm waiting for Bai Hanzi to come back, and then I'll start chopping wood. Strive to chop out the firewood after the end of the year today. Other fellow villagers also moved, and there was great strength in numbers. After chopping firewood today, tomorrow we will start to go to the Nancunkou River and start winter fishing, hoping that this year's river fish will be big and fat, and the villagers will be able to eat a few more meals. After the winter fishing is over, Grandpa Pipe's estimation will take the children down the mountain. Let's go to the dumb brother to get some drinks, take the children, and go to the graves of Du Laobu and Xiao Cao'er's parents to pay respects. Let's be idle, have a lively New Year's pass, and wait for the next year! ”

It was Xiangguo's father, Li Sheng, and Ling Tong who simply gave the order, and Ling Tong was Qingfeng's mother. Sangkook's mother is a whole head shorter than his father. There is always little gossip outside, everything is arranged by his own man, and his hands and feet are nimble and dexterous. All the clothes sewn to Su Lisheng always fit just right. Fortunately, over the years, Su Lisheng's body has always maintained a hardcover capable, but it also saves Xiangguo's mother a lot of effort.

The old folks seem to be accustomed to Li Sheng organizing everyone to work together on the affairs of the village. In a small village, you come and go, although the surnames are different, but it is always like a big clan, each with its own division of labor and concentricity. After experiencing the blizzard a few days ago, the villagers have become more supportive of each other.

About half an hour later, a muffled noise came from the wheat field.

The women kept bringing firewood, which had been harvested early, and kept carrying the cut firewood to every household in the village with small baskets.

Li Sheng, Lao Li, and Bai Hanzi kept wheeling the axe, one axe and one section, and one axe and two sections looked at the firewood, sweat continued to seep out, and a trace of mist rose above their heads.

In the village, everyone is busy.

The weather was gloomy, and the dome was getting closer and closer, and the villagers were gasping for breath, wondering why this winter was so difficult.

Li Sheng and Hong Hanzi clearly felt this oppressive feeling, so they carefully planned what the village would deal with next.

If you take care of things properly, you can unload your burden and wait for the next year!

Since ancient times, children have been looking forward to the end of the year, and they are happy at the end of the year.

Adults are afraid of the end of the year, and the year is sad.

--------

Ten miles outside the village, a few old trees are sparsely pine.

The two men, one tall and one short, walked unhurriedly and walked towards the village through the snow.

Naturally, Emperor Li Dui and Wei Duoer are one master and one servant.

Wei Duoer was still smashing his mouth, and the smell of roast rabbit hanging on his mouth was still unfinished, and he yawned lazily. Reaching out and grabbing an old leaf drifting in. He blew on the leaf and stuffed it into his mouth.

The closer he got to the village, the more silent Wei Duoer became.

I want to stop it, but I can't stop it.

There are many things in the world, and some things have different positions, and it is impossible to distinguish between right and wrong, and even more unreasonable. Because I don't even have the qualifications to enter the game, who will listen to the reason? The heavens and the earth are big, and they can accommodate all things, and there are many people who understand the truth, and very few people can speak the truth.

I want to go, but I can't leave.

If you eat the king's luck, you will be loyal to the king. Once born in the clan, he will never abandon the Dao Seal for life.

Emperor Li Duhuang said to Wei Duoer as he walked: "Don't struggle in your heart, many things, if you can't see right or wrong for the time being, just jump out, the cycle of heavenly fortune, there will be cause and effect to evaluate right and wrong."

Over the years, Emperor Li Duhuang has not been able to maintain his glory and not compete with his peers, because his vision is too much beyond his peers, and he is disdainful. Along the way, the closer he got to the village, the more silent Wei Duoer became, and Emperor Li Duhuang had already seen the struggle in his heart.

It's just that Li Duhuang is destined to enter the game, and when he enters the game, he will be in charge of the game, and he has all kinds of wiring along the way, in order to raise the line to control the game at the last moment.

The heart of the game, I, Li Duhuang, began to gradually understand it when I was five years old. Born in the clan, he should be the sole ruler of everything.

"Not far ahead, there is a river, after so many years, it is still protecting that place, the city is getting smaller and smaller, and the water is getting thinner and thinner. Tonight, a little further away from the river, find a leeward place to rest for the night, you go to the river to break the ice and catch fish, and bake fish at night. I'm going to look for firewood and make a fire, and I'll return tomorrow afternoon, and on the way back, I won't be walking. While walking, Emperor Li Duhuang had already arranged the next itinerary.

"Good!" Wei Duoer agreed, and continued on his way.

On the old mountain, the old man with a pipe who had just filled a pot of new tobacco shreds said to himself: "The wind is blowing!"
