Several militiamen came from different production teams, and he knew very well whether there were good animals on their teams, whether they were selling or not, and so on.

In the end, the results were a bit disappointing.

There are several production teams nearby, and there are no good cattle to sell, and some are also the kind that need to be eliminated when they are sick or old.

There is no way, I can only hope to go to Adu Commune the day after tomorrow to catch the market.

A commune generally has a dozen to more than twenty brigades, and a brigade has several production teams.

In this way, the number of production teams is still quite a lot.

It's just thirteen cows, and they all believe that they will be able to buy enough at the Adu Bazaar.

The paddy fields had already been prepared, so there was no need to wait for the cattle to come, and the rice seeds could be sprinkled first, and the seedlings would grow into a seedling that would take about a month.

As for dry land, it can also be planted by manually digging ponds, but it takes a lot of time and energy.

With ploughing cattle, progress is much faster.

Therefore, after the rice seeds are sown tomorrow, the rest of the time will be prepared for building materials - bamboo, wood, thatch, etc.

At this time, whether it is a bamboo building or an earthen tile house, it is difficult to complete it without a month.

The easiest way is to level the ground, use wood or bamboo pillars, bamboo woven mats as walls, as doors, and thatched palm leaves, plantain leaves, etc. as the top.

In fact, this is also a common mode of building houses for ordinary people.

If you want to build a bamboo building on stilts or a tiled house with a civil structure, you have to have good conditions.

In these years, not many people can really build it.

Most people live this type.

Therefore, early the next day, there was a lot of movement in Zhangjiaao, cutting trees, cutting bamboo, mowing grass, and leveling the foundation, all of which looked like they were competing.

Even the black-haired pigs who leisurely turn over the soil to find food in Zhangjiaao on weekdays are much more honest.

Wang Mingyuan didn't have to get involved in these things, he called Zhang Shouzhong and prepared to go to Tiankeng.

Zhang Shouyi and Zhang Shouli had been in charge of taking care of the baby elephants and the goats in the sinkhole for several days, and there was not much grain and oil at that time. Even if the two of them have a lot of hunting skills, I'm afraid they can't stand it.

This time he entered the mountain, on the one hand, to send some food to the two of them, and on the other hand, Wang Mingyuan also wanted to see the situation of the baby elephant.

Of course, what happened in Zhangjiaao also had to be told to the two of them so that they could rest assured.

As everyone knows, the two have not yet left, but Kang Langxiang came early.

With him, there was also a middle-aged man wearing a black short-sleeved long shirt, carrying a red embroidered bag, and a hat, looking very strong.

"The person I said about dreaming of a white elephant falling off a cliff is him!"

As soon as Kang Langxiang met, he immediately pointed to Wang Mingyuan and said to the people around him.

What's going on?

Wang Mingyuan was a little confused: "Who is this?" ”

"This is my father, Kang Moxiang!" Kang Langxiang said a word, and then stepped aside.

"You dreamed that a white elephant fell off a cliff and then found someone to rush to treat it?" Kang Moxiang looked at Wang Mingyuan with a look of disbelief.

"I did dream about it, and then I went to see it, only to find out that it was indeed happening, and it may be a coincidence!" Wang Mingyuan can only bite the bullet now.

"Is it really a white elephant?" Kang Moxiang asked.

"Lao Kang, what's so fake about this? The people of Zhangjiaao, including the militia from other production teams, have all been to the big pit in the forest, as well as the militia patrolling the border, and they also know that this can still deceive people? Zhang Shouzhong came over with a shotgun and a basket on his back at this time: "If you don't believe it, just go and see it, just right, we have to go into the mountains." ”

"Since you're here, I'm sure I'm going to check it out. If that's the case, I'll agree to Langchamp joining your farm, and not only that, but our whole family will move over! Kang Moxiang said very solemnly.

Wang Mingyuan was still a little confused, and didn't understand why he didn't want to join the farm, and it was up to a white elephant to decide.

Wang Mingyuan, who was loading rice and meat oil in the back basket in the kitchen, took the time to ask Zhang Shouzhong: "Third uncle, what do you think is going on?" ”

"There's nothing strange about this, I told you before about this Kang Moxiang, people know how to tam elephants, you know, elephants in the eyes of the Dai people, it is a symbol of strength, honor, sacredness and dignity, can bring good weather, abundant grains, peace and tranquility, as well as the meaning of warding off evil spirits and calming the gods.

The elephant, for the Dai family, is the Rui Beast. The status is very honorable. In ancient legends, they even believe that they are descendants of elephants.

If you are the one who dreamed that an elephant fell off a cliff and it came true, and you saved the white elephant, you can think that you will definitely be very respected by them.

In particular, this is still a white elephant. ”

Zhang Shouzhong glanced outside the door from time to time and whispered to Wang Mingyuan.

"White elephant, is there anything else special besides the color?" Wang Mingyuan asked puzzled.

"The white elephant is an extremely powerful patron elephant, and its status is higher than that of ordinary elephants." Zhang Shouzhong smiled: "This Kang Moxiang is one of the few elephant masters in our place who knows how to use ancient methods to tame elephants, do you know what he often does?" ”

Wang Mingyuan shook his head, the first time he saw this person, how would he know.

What he often does is to domesticate an elephant and walk around Dai villages. This is auspicious, especially for building houses, when you see an elephant entering the village, you have to spend money to let him take the elephant to the homestead to go around, ward off evil spirits, and calm the gods in the town, that is to pick up money all the way.

Of course, he himself is convinced of this.

As long as he sees the white elephant, Kang Langxiang's matter will be simple, not to mention that the whole family has moved over, even if you want to marry Kang Langxiang, Kang Moxiang will never object! ”

fo

The corners of Wang Mingyuan's mouth twitched when he heard this.

Zhang Shouzhong is now so concerned about marrying his daughter-in-law without leaving his daughter-in-law?

The two of them packed the things they were going to take into the mountain, and Zhang Shouzhong carried them on their backs, stepped forward to open the way, and led a few people all the way to the mountain.

As for Wang Mingyuan, carrying his own submachine gun, it would be good to be able to keep up.

"I'm sorry, I really wanted to join the farm, but my dad is an old stubborn, and in order to convince him, I have to resort to this method." Kang Langxiang deliberately took a few steps behind, walked side by side with Wang Mingyuan, and said apologetically: "I really can't help it." ”

"The process is not important, as long as the result is good, you are welcome to join!" Wang Mingyuan smiled.

The baby elephant is in a sinkhole and can't fly!

The trail has been walked several times in succession, and the road has become smoother and smoother

This time, I arrived at the sinkhole at about one o'clock in the afternoon, which was much faster than the last time, after all, the departure time was already much slower.

Standing on the edge of the sinkhole, Wang Mingyuan did not see the baby elephant at the place where the baby elephant fell, and he knew that the baby elephant was already able to move.

Following the vines down to the sinkhole, Wang Mingyuan saw that from here to the hot springs, the trees that were blocked along the way had been cut down by Zhang Shouyi and Zhang Shouli and built into a path.

In addition, Wang Mingyuan also saw that trees and rattan were also used to tie a fence in the forest, and those goats were locked up in it, feeding on bundles of branches and leaves hanging in it with rattan tethers.

The sound of Zhang Shouyi and Zhang Shouli talking came from the hot spring, and when a group of people approached, they saw Zhang Shouyi roasting a hare, Zhang Shouli was holding a machete, squatting by the water, and cutting his long beard.

And the little white elephant was now rolling in the mudflats of the river not far below.

Looking at its spiritual head, it seems to be almost good.

Seeing a few people coming, Zhang Shouyi and Zhang Shouli put down what they were doing and greeted them.

"You're finally here, and if you don't come again, our brothers will soon become savages." Zhang Shouli's face was full of joy.

The beard on his lips was cut in half, and he looked a little funny when he spoke.

"There have been a lot of things in the past two days, I'm sorry for the two uncles!"

The taste of sleeping in the open air, it is definitely not comfortable at home, even if the two of them are veterans of mountain driving, they must be uncomfortable, they haven't seen each other for a few days, and they feel thinner.

"Whatever you say, we haven't done anything here all day, so we take a bath and feed the baby elephant...... However, this is going around, and it is really boring for us brothers, if only there were a few more people! Zhang Shouyi said: "How are you doing?" “

Wang Mingyuan immediately told the two of them about the past few days, which made the two of them happy.

Kang Moxiang is different from others, when he arrives at the ground, the first thing he does is to run to see the little elephant that is rolling in the mud at this time and almost dyes himself into a mud ball. He threw some water at the baby elephant, and when he saw the white skin of the baby elephant, he froze.

Then, he looked at Wang Mingyuan's expression, and became extremely respectful, and even had a taste of piety.
