Chapter 0226: Secret
In rural areas, there has been a saying since ancient times that godfathers can prevent disasters, so sometimes parents will let their children worship a godfather when they see that their children are weak since they were young.
Some directly worship the earth lord or the sacred tree as godfathers.
In the fifteenth year of Chunxi of the Southern Song Dynasty (1188 AD).
Under the auspices of Li Ping, Guo Jing, who was only four months old, worshiped a godbrother, and there were red envelopes for tribute, and the ceremony was very sufficient.
At first, Li Ping wanted to worship her godfather, but no matter how she shouted Miao Le, she couldn't get down from the tent, so she had to retreat to the second.
Pity.
Miao Le said that he just wanted to be a waste, and wouldn't it be hard work if he had multiple sons?
In March, plants reviverate, trees sprout, and grass pops up.
Li Ping followed Gegen to a market held by a nearby tribe, where he used all the money he had to buy a tent, ten lambs, a ewe, some daily necessities, and an old horse.
She is an outsider, so naturally it is impossible for her to live in the same room with Gegen all the time. Besides, there are old people in Gegen's house, and it is sometimes inconvenient for one of her daughters to do something private, such as taking a bath.
This year, she decided to raise a few sheep first, and follow the Gegen family to get acquainted with the pasture, as well as the lifestyle of the grassland people, and to take care of each other.
In the future, when she is familiar with how to take care of sheep, she can raise more. In this way, when Jing'er grows up, she can have a big flock and marry a daughter-in-law for Jing'er!
Li Ping thought very well.
At the beginning, it was indeed the same as she thought, everything went well, because of the hard work and simplicity, the sheep in the family grew up quickly, and the son was slowly growing up.
When she was half a year old, her son would even call her mother, making her so excited that she was full of tears, and even thought that it would be great if her husband Guo Xiaotian was also there at this time.
After being excited for a while, Li Ping pointed to the little yellow cat sleeping next to him and said, "Call brother!" Brother! ”
Guo Jing opened his mouth and didn't react for a long time.
Li Ping was a little helpless, she found that her son seemed to be a little stupid, could it be that he was kicked stupidly by the little yellow cat when he was sleeping when he was a child?
Looking at the little yellow cat that was sleeping heavily, Li Ping suddenly remembered that she hadn't named him all along.
Lele?
The name suddenly flashed in her mind, she thought about it, was very satisfied, and grabbed her son's little hand: "It's called Brother Le, Brother Le!" ”
Guo Jing: "Ba, Baba~"
Miaole: ......
The days gradually calmed down, with his son as a pillar, everything in life had hope, and Li Ping seemed to return to the countryside again, working at sunrise and resting at sunset.
When she went out to herd sheep and mow the grass, because no one at home was watching, she had to carry her son on her back all the time.
Because I heard Gegen say that there are many wild beasts in the grassland, and there are often children who are taken away by those wild beasts, and few of the children who are taken away survive.
Herdsmen can't always graze in one place, cattle and sheep eat grass and eat quickly, and they have to often change places to graze, otherwise the grass is not fat enough, the cattle and sheep will not grow meat, and the fur will not be shiny, so it will not be sold at a high price.
And if you keep grazing in one place, the grass roots will be eaten, and the grass will not grow again the next year.
Unknowingly, in the summer, Guo Jing was eight months old, and he began to babble, and he wanted to learn whenever he saw it, and he had been meowing for a while, chatting with Brother Le. Even Li Ping felt that he had learned cat language, and he had also learned to do various movements.
Once she went out for a break, and when she came back, she saw her son pulling his head on his lap, which almost frightened her.
After carefully checking and confirming that her son was fine, Li Ping finally relaxed.
What surprised her even more was that Lele hadn't grown up at all for so long, and the cattle and sheep of the two families had never encountered a beast once.
Even eagles in the sky are rarely seen hovering above their pastures.
"This is the real king!" Li Ping sighed secretly in her heart.
……
Summer was coming to an end soon, and Li Ping had to prepare grass for the horses and sheep to spend the winter.
If you don't eat well in winter, the value of lamb and wool will be greatly reduced in the coming year.
There are two ways to preserve pasture.
First: Bale the grass and place it on the straw rack, each layer is about three feet thick, and keep it fluffy and a certain slope to facilitate lighting and drainage.
The second is to dry the grass a little, then cut the grass into thumb-length lengths, and put the cut grass into the green storage cellar.
Pay attention to the filling of green fodder should be loaded layer by layer, each layer is about one foot thick, continue to fill after stepping on solid, to prevent air leakage and water permeability, can be spread around the green storage cellar to fill the fur; When the grass is loaded more than two feet from the cellar mouth, it can be covered and capped.
Of course, in Li Ping's case, there is definitely no need for the second one, it is all something that only the big tribe has to consider.
Soon, autumn came, the grass and trees gradually withered and yellowed, and Li Ping was a little happy when she looked at the full pile of grass behind her tent.
This winter, the grass must have enough for her growing sheep, and she even found out that several of her sheep were pregnant.
She hurriedly ran to ask Gegen how to deliver the sheep and how to raise the lambs, and finally returned to the tent with great anticipation, watching her son and the little yellow cat learn and fiddle with her body.
She thought that when the sheep gave birth to lambs, her flock would be full and expanded, and the life of the family would be better and better.
She didn't notice that Gegen's face was getting more and more sad.
On this day, Li Ping was helping Gegen's family shear sheep.
"Boom Boom Boom~" Suddenly, a group of cavalry came in the distance.
Gegen's face turned pale when he saw the cavalry.
The cavalry was fast, and before Li Ping could understand the situation, they rushed in front of him.
"We are the warriors of the Qiyan Division, this pasture belongs to our tribe, according to the rules, you graze here, you have to pay the forage fee."
Li Ping was desperate in an instant, but she didn't expect to pay taxes when she arrived on the prairie.
It's really as black as a crow in the world.
In the end, Li Ping's house was turned upside down, all the wool was taken away, seven sheep were taken away, and even the grass was loosened so that their horses were fed.
Looking at the mess at home, Li Ping wanted to cry without tears.
Fortunately, Lele didn't know where to play, otherwise she suspected that Lele would also be arrested.
When he came back just now, Gegen said that it was good that she was not good-looking, otherwise the beautiful girl would have been captured and rewarded to the meritorious soldiers.
If there is a war, there are men in the family who are more likely to be captured and sent to fight.
"Meow~" Hearing the familiar cat meow, Li Ping hurriedly hugged the little yellow cat and her son into her arms. "It's okay, as long as you two are here!" Only then did she relax.
Then Li Ping began to worry again, what if her son grew up and was arrested to fight? If her son is gone, where will she have the face to meet her underground husband.
Ay!
In the next few days, she couldn't eat or sleep well, and even her face was much worse, and even she was listless at work.
In the end, Gegen found out about the situation and came to explain that generally only when the big tribes suffered heavy casualties and the enemy attacked, those big tribes would recruit soldiers among wandering herdsmen like them.
This kind of thing happens only once in many years, and under normal circumstances, they may not encounter it in their lifetime.
Only then did Li Ping put her mind at ease and continued to work hard, harvesting pasture, serving the only four sheep left, and an old horse used to carry things.
Because the horse was so old, the cavalry didn't look down on it at all.
When she was working this time, she was relieved to let her son stay in the tent and be with Lele all day.
Because the last time the Gegen family's shepherd dog ran to the house, he was directly scared away by Lele's paws in the face, and finally farts and urine.
......
Soon autumn passed, winter came again, and the wind and snow fell.
There were only four sheep, and Li Ping simply drove the sheep to the tent every night to sleep together, and then drove them out to find food by themselves when the temperature was a little higher during the day.
Fortunately, the sheep were not cleaned in the tent, otherwise the smell would not have been unbearable.
Li Ping didn't know that these sheep were shivering when they entered the house every night, and then fainted directly, not to mention excretion, there was no way to snore.
There was nothing to do in the winter, and Li Ping started to do those strange actions with her son on a whim one day.
Of course, her current age, coupled with the stiffness of her body after long-term farm work, many movements are too difficult for her, and she can only do some simple ones first.
After a few days, Li Ping was surprised to find that her appetite and strength had increased a lot.
Because of the winter birth, but there was no confinement, she was in pain every time she had menstruation, and the pain was greatly reduced.
This is a miracle!
Li Ping was pleasantly surprised, but she didn't have the idea of telling anyone, and even prepared to tell Jing'er not to tell anyone in the future.
Even at home, this miracle is only passed on to men and not to women.
Maybe future generations will make a fortune with these few actions! Li Ping thought secretly.
When there was hope, the days passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, another five years passed.
Over the years, as her strength has grown, she even tried to go out hunting, and her son was at home to let Brother Le take her to rest assured.
When Li Ping took a homemade bow and arrow and shot a rabbit with an arrow for the first time, the whole person felt different.
So hunting is so easy!
After that, the life of the family was getting better and better, and Guo Jing was growing faster and faster, like a little calf.
But the number of sheep raised at home has always been six, and by the end of the year, three sheep were robbed, and the number has not changed.
For the other prey, she gave some of the prey to Gegen's house, and some of them were dried and hidden for the winter, and her life was comfortable.
In the autumn of another year, Li Ping prepared pasture grass as usual, and because of her strength, she was able to carry a lot of grass at once.
"Mother, mother, I'll tell you a secret." Guo Jing leaned over to Li Ping and said mysteriously. Li Ping was curious: "What secret?" ”
"I can understand Brother Le!" Guo Jing looked around and said nervously.
Li Ping rolled her eyes, she could understand. With Lele, a lazy cat has only three meanings all day long: to eat when you are hungry; If you are sleepy, don't bother me; Tired, give me a massage!
Guo Jing saw that his mother didn't believe him and hurriedly said, "Really, mother, I didn't lie to you." I was lazy for a while just now when I was practicing the Guo Jiajia Halberd method you taught me.
Brother Le raised his paws at that time and said that he would teach me a lesson! ”
After listening to her son's words, Li Ping's eyes gradually became dangerous: "You just said that you want to be lazy?" ”
Guo Jing still didn't understand the seriousness of the matter: "Yes." ”
"Papapa~" Li Ping took a whip in his hand and whipped it on him.
"Ahh Guo Jing cried fiercely in an instant.
"Ah, how did I teach you, your father is a big hero, if you are a son, you have to practice this halberd method to avenge your father, you dare to be lazy!"
"Also, how do I usually teach you, be honest! What about you, you obviously said that you are good at practicing, why are you lazy! ”
"Papapa~"
Miao Le jumped on the roof and sat upright, blowing the autumn evening breeze, looking into the distance, the endless barren grass plain. Listening to the scolding and cries one after another, he flicked his tail leisurely.
At this moment, he suddenly wanted to recite a poem.
The whip in the mother's hand, the wanderer's body beaten, eighteen whips in a row, and the whip came out with a critical blow.
"Meow!"
Good poetry, good poetry!
He is no stranger to Li Ping's activities of beating his son, which is also the method used by many rural people to educate their children.
If you don't obey, just beat it up!
However, not to mention, this educational method is quite good.
At least among the bear children Miao Le has seen, this Guo Jing is the most obedient one, and every time he eats, he respectfully calls himself big brother, and let him eat first if he has good food.
When I have a son in the future, I have to teach it like this! Miangle made up her mind.
After dinner, Gegen nervously came over and whispered a few words to Li Ping, and then left in a hurry.
When Li Ping turned around, Guo Jing and the little yellow cat lying on his head stared at her with wide eyes at the same time, looking curious.
Li Ping smiled: "It's okay, Gegen said, the Qiyan tribe that rules us here has lost the battle, let us be careful of the soldiers who escaped in the big war." ”
"If you meet them for what they want, don't clash with them."
Guo Jing nodded, their family is honest people, and they have always been diligent in grazing and hunting. Whoever is in need of help and gives his goods, and the tribe comes to collect taxes, let them watch and take them.
Anyway, just leave them something to eat.
From childhood to adulthood, his mother taught him to be loyal and honest, honest and trustworthy, as long as he didn't resist, those tribes would not do too much.
Because they know what it would be like for honest people to be pushed too hard. Of course, wouldn't it be nice to harvest it once a year?
"By the way, Jing'er, if you see a stranger tomorrow while playing outside, remember to hide your eldest brother!" Li Ping commanded.
She knew that if the little yellow cat was discovered, it might be offered to the big guys.
But is it really good to be around those big guys? You may like it for a while, then forget about it, or even give it to your son and daughter, and end up being abused.
Guo Jing nodded seriously, after so many years, he has learned a profound lesson. My mother is right, and I have to listen to what my mother says, otherwise I will be beaten!
Of course, Brother Le has to listen to what he says, because he can't beat it.
Woo woo, when will he Guo Jing be able to stand up in this house!
At night.
"Huh, huhu~" Li Ping, who couldn't sleep at the beginning, was so noisy that she couldn't sleep.
When I got up, I saw by the moonlight that the little yellow cat was sleeping sweetly on his son's face.
His son's nostrils seem to be blocked by Lele's stomach, no wonder he breathes so loudly.
Li Ping shook her head, hugged the little yellow cat to her son's chest, and carefully tucked the horns of the fur before going back to sleep.
It was a long time before she slowly fell asleep in sorrow and thoughts.
What if the rebels come to her house? It doesn't matter if she has a little property, as for herself, she is five big and three thick, and her skin is tanned because of perennial exposure, so she probably won't be looked down upon.
But she heard that some rebels were killing people everywhere just to vent.
Can you beat it yourself?
Li Ping calculated his current strength, and it seemed that he could carry a horse, and he was immediately worried, and even prayed secretly.
I hope those rebels don't find her house, she's so scared!
