Li Quan is like a fart, following him all day long, and he can't get rid of it, and Li Kui is also very helpless about this.

Speaking of the acquaintance between them, it is quite interesting.

More than a month ago, Li Kui hunted a wolf outside the village, and the people in Baizhang Village did not eat wolves, thinking that things eat people and eat wolf meat to lose their lives. It's a wolf skin, a good wolf skin in winter, worth more than a dozen, but it's not a small amount of money. Li Kui didn't care, peeled the skin and put the condiments, set up a fire and roasted it. Coincidentally, Li Quan, who was hungry, saw it. At that time, Li Quan didn't speak, just sat obediently next to Li Kui, staring at him with poor little eyes, when someone robbed him, Li Kui's fist was not vegetarian, but there was a big man who didn't speak, begged with his eyes, this can make Li Kui disgusting, you are such a big guy, and you have to pretend to be innocent to disgust people, don't you have other thoughts?

In desperation, Li Kui invited Li Quan to barbecue once, and Li Quan decided that Li Kui was a good person after a barbecue, and then followed Li Kui from day to night, and he couldn't get rid of it.

Li Quan also naturally became Li Kui's first and only friend in the village.

Li Quan has also become the only channel for Li Kui to understand the world, although Li Quan's brain is a little problematic, but it is precisely because of this that the whole village will not carry him, and even he will take some things, as long as it is not money, no one will trouble him. For example, Li Kui asked Li Quan to go to the patriarch's house to bring the imperial calendar, and he could find some clues of this era through the era name. The imperial calendar is not only a lucky book, but also an official book that guides farmers in planting. This is also the only book with words in Baizhang Village, which is of great significance.

Such a sneaky understanding will naturally not be comprehensive. Li Kui also has some vague ideas about this era. It wasn't until one day that he took his prey to Mengshan Town and had a thorough understanding of this era.

At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the emperor was not Huizong of the Song Dynasty, but Zhao Xu, the elder brother of Zhao Ji of Huizong.

It should have been a few years since Song Huizong ascended the throne, but there is still a question bothering him, is this the Water Margin? Or is it really the last years of the Northern Song Dynasty?

Baizhang Village?

Li Kui said that he would not continue to live in this shabby place, and if he wanted to be prosperous, he couldn't stay at home, let alone the news was closed in the mountains. The closure of Baizhang Village is obviously as if it was excluded from the prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty, and the tranquility of the paradise is not much to see, but more to the adversity of the poor mountains and bad waters. He can't be a farmer and a hunter in this place for the rest of his life, can he?

That's why he watched the roof collapse, but didn't repair it at all.

After the Chinese New Year, he was ready to leave. And before leaving, he still has to make a break about this stage of rebirth. Not in the village, but outside the village, over the opposite hill, there is a small temple. He hadn't been there for three or four months, would he still be there?

When cooking, Zhang still took off a piece of bacon from the beam of the house with a chisel, cut it into slices, and put it in a pot to stew. She is a woman with a knife mouth and a tofu heart, her husband died early, and she pulled her two children, so she couldn't help but be cowardly.

Li Quan didn't care at all what effect the old patriarch would have on him when he summoned everyone, anyway, as a fool, his task was to live happily.

His attention was on the bubbling stew, protecting the steaming pot with his almost instinctive gaze. While eating, he smirked and said, "Fragrant, so fragrant!" The earth-shattering eating scene made Zhang's couldn't help but be annoyed, the family was already poor, and there was a big-bellied man who ate white food, how could he live this day?

The key is that there is no land at home for Li Quan to eat enough to sell his dead strength, if there is land, Li Quan will be thrown into the ground after dinner, saying that if you plough the field, you will plow the field, let you fertilize it, and if you want to eat meat, you can, you have to work. But the Li family has no land, and it can't be said that there is none, only a small vegetable field, just a fool like Li Quan, if she goes to the vegetables, she may have to harm her heart and liver, and she wasted so much food in vain, but she couldn't wait for a little benefit, which made Zhang's teeth itch angrily.

Fortunately, the speed of eating at Li Kui's house is surprisingly fast, mainly because there are so many meals, and when I meet two big-bellied men, it will be gone after a few strokes.

After eating seven minutes and holding a straw in their mouths, Li Kui and Li Quan went out together and headed towards the big locust tree in the village.

The village attaches great importance to the training of young people, and clan society is like this.

Even if the small family property of Baizhang Village is touching, the old patriarch will call on the whole village to invest resources in the young children who are worth gambling on by saving money. In case it is developed, let the people who earn it feed back to the clansmen.

The cost of studying is definitely unbearable for the people of Baizhang Village. But if you send it to the army, or send it to the public gate, you can become a decent person who eats the emperor's food, and everyone can meet it when they are lucky enough to tighten their belts. For example, if you are sent to the army, a big-headed soldier can become the personal guard of the generals, and it is an ancestor who accumulates virtue, not to mention any unrealistic battlefield meritorious service promotion to become a military attaché, which is a fool's dream. But a military salary has hope every month, and it is also a good livelihood.

As for sending it to the public gate, it is much simpler, forget about the state government, and the county government is already burning high incense.

The old patriarch opened up the relationship between the county government and won a quota for the village to catch fast.

The old patriarch standing on the stone platform under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village, holding a dove of jujube wood, is nearly seventy years old, with pale hair, and the people in the mountains are aging fast. Being able to live a long life is already a kind of God's favor. I saw him proudly announcing his great plan to the whole village: "The old and young masters of Baizhang Village, this year, our children are blessed, when the old man participated in the Li clan meeting, he was fortunate to make friends with Li Dutou in the county, and through the genealogy, he found out that he was a brother of the same generation. ”

"Alas—" Seventy-year-old man, how old is the head of the county, fifty years old, or forty years old? This brother clings to Teh's far-fetched.

Li Kui yawned, but he didn't pay attention to the old patriarch's words, he was just forced by the Zhang family to come to the clan meeting. Fortunately, women are not allowed to participate in the assembly of major decisions in the clan, and there is less noise in the ears.

The old patriarch's eyes glanced at the audience, and found that there was no reaction, and suddenly there was a sense of discouragement in his heart for no reason, and none of them showed a warm reaction, which made him worry about his children and grandchildren, and he was not angry, and roared vigorously in his heart: "No descendants, no descendants!" ”

Especially when he set his eyes on Li Quan and Li Kui, his heart suddenly cooled.

It's just that others are not enthusiastic, even Li Quan...... Well, Li Quan is a fool, he doesn't react normally. But what about Li Kui? This kid is a little grumpy, but he's not stupid, is he?

But why isn't this kid enthusiastic?

Catch it! What a good errand!

Although his status is not high, he is not a person in front of the official master, but when he goes to the countryside to do things, he doesn't earn a benefit of one or two?

Li Kui is not sad, this makes him very helpless and aggrieved, he can't jump off the stone platform and lift Li Kui's ear and roar in front of the root of his ear: "The old man pulled down his face and made friends with the old man, isn't it for you kid?" Among the people in the village, that is, Li Kui's fist and foot kung fu is the most outstanding, isn't this quick catch for Li Kui? Good guy, in the end, it was the old man who was amorous and happy in vain. But the main lord looked unwelcome, extremely impatient. Outrageous! ”

However, the old patriarch has to continue, because the innocent old man of the capital will not recruit a young man who does not have much knowledge to be a fast catcher, and he has to give a decent gift, and this dignity is the meeting gift of the old man of the capital to the secretary to dredge up the relationship, the old man can't take out this money, and it has to be the efforts of the whole village.

"Through the efforts of the old man, the old man agreed to recruit a quick person from our village, but he needed to dredge the money up and down. It's not more than thirty times, and it's almost the same if everyone leles their belts, or the whole village goes to the mountains to hunt wild boars......"

"Third uncle! My family can't even open the pot, where can I get such a large amount of money? ”

"Yes! Third uncle, this is not a small amount of money. It's enough for a child to marry a daughter-in-law, and if it is bad, wouldn't it be a pity! ”

"Third uncle, although the wild boar will go down the mountain in the cold winter, it is very dangerous to catch this thing, in case it hurts someone, the pillars of the family will collapse?"

……

When it comes to contributing money and efforts, don't look at the old patriarch who has the heaviest prestige and the highest rank in the village, but it is useless. Everyone is living their own little life, and the clan relatives can't let people suffer without eating!

The old man was so angry that he was almost smoking, but fortunately he was prepared to ask for money, otherwise he would have to go away angrily. But even so, the old man seemed to be a little mad, and he stood on the stage and trembled: "Rat-eyed thing, don't you know how good it is to have a fast catcher in the village?" Don't you know how important it is for us to have people in the yamen? There is a household in the whole village, and they have to pay money, and no one can be left behind, the old man first expresses his attitude, these thirty times, the old man out of eight. ”

"Uncle, the old nose is far away, but it's not enough!"

With a swish, the old man got the dove in his hand off the stage and flew straight towards the uncle who was talking. The old man is angry, is it possible that these thirty times will make the old man's family unable to get out?

Maybe at this moment, the old man has a kind of enlightenment-

Be a patriarch, tired!

Be an ideal family patriarch, tired!

Being a patriarch who has ideals and has to worry about the whole clan is even more tiring!
