Chapter 13 The Wheel

When they arrived at the place where they were fighting, the others also arrived, and it seemed that everyone wanted to go together.

Orchid saw that Grandma hurried over and wanted to help put the wheat bundles, but Grandma Orchid raised her hand to dodge.

"I don't need you, grandma can just put it down by herself, how about it? Didn't scare me, did you? ”

Putting down the wheat, rubbing his hand on his body, he reached out and touched the orchid's head and asked.

Orchid shook her head, not only did she not have a frightened expression on her face, but said with some excitement: "I'm not afraid, I also secretly looked, those people are not Khitans, I don't know if they are the caravans that have walked this road before?"

Could it be that the Khitans outside have been driven away, and these caravans have started to come and go again? ”

When the other women heard this, they were glad that they would not have to leave their homes.

Yang Dashan frowned and shook his head, "It's unlikely, we only met during the day, it's just night, how could we rush out so quickly."

I'm afraid it's not the grain transport team of the soldiers in the east, I heard from the merchants that the soldiers who defended the city before have gone to the east, and they can't say that the city over there will not let them enter, so they will camp outside. ”

Don't look at the two cities are not far away, but now they belong to the two forces, and there is often friction in ordinary times, and now with the addition of the Khitans, it is estimated that the fight will be more lively in the future.

Xue Tianyan listened quietly on the side, wanting to know more about the situation here, but unfortunately, the villagers had never gone out and didn't know much.

They collected another hour, and when it was dawn, they called it a day, and the roadside during the day was too dangerous to continue.

The rest of the wheat that had not been threshed was cut off with a kitchen knife and put into baskets.

Twelve men, one carrying a basket on his back, went back.

There were still two people left in the village, a man and a woman, who continued to pack up the things they needed on the road, and by the way, looked at some of the things they had packed before.

Although there are no other people in the village, it is better to guard against them if there are people left in other villages like them.

"Brother Shan, you're back, come with me and see what I found!"

As soon as they entered the village, one of the men left, Yang Xuanzhu, greeted him and stretched out his hand to take the basket that Yang Dashan was carrying on his shoulder.

"But what did you find?"

Yang Dashan followed his strength and put the basket off his shoulder, but did not let go, but carried it forward with him.

With a smile on his wrinkled black face, Yang raised his empty right hand and pointed to a courtyard in front of him.

"Yang Fugui's car, there is a pair of cars that I didn't take away, we can get a board car, we can bring a lot of things!"

They were a group of old and weak, and the salutes they could take were really limited, and they were worried before, at most they could bring a few clothes and bedding, and the pots and pans had to be carried by the number of people, otherwise they would not be able to bring much food at all.

Now, with the board car, as long as the board on it is made larger, it can fit a lot of things.

Yang Dashan looked surprised, "Really! Is there such a good thing? ”

Yang Dawang, who was walking next to him, said: "Didn't Yang Fugui push the car away?" ”

"Yang Fugui's family seems to have two pairs of wheels, I remember that he made one."

Yang Erzhuang said on the side.

"Yes, yes, Yang Fugui made a pair of car wheels the year before last, and his old one was a little cracked at that time, which is probably the one who changed his clothes."

Yang Youfu behind him nodded in agreement

Hearing this, Yang Dashan looked at Yang Zhuzhu and asked uneasily: "Zhuzhu, you won't be picking someone's lock, right?" You can't do this! If we come back in the future, what will happen to the folks in this township......"

Yang Xuanzhu hurriedly explained, "Brother Dashan, don't worry, am I that person?" I found it in the haystack behind their house, and it was erected in the straw curtain covered with hay. ”

Yang Dashan nodded, "That's good, that's good." In this case, it happens that the sky is already dawn now, Er Zhuang, don't you know how to do some carpentry work, let's get the cart out for him.

The wooden board is made of my ready-made door panel, which was made last year, and it is stronger than the old one, and it will not be used in the future anyway, so it comes in handy. ”

Yang Erzhuang nodded, "Cheng, just listen to Brother Dashan, if it's not enough, use my family, I won't use it for a few years......"

After discussing the matter, they went to the right.

The women were also happy, they were all ready, and they were ready to carry heavy loads along the way, but they didn't expect that there would be unexpected joy.

You know, a pair of wheels here is not so easy to come, you have to go to the carpenter to customize, not to mention, and wrap it with iron or copper sheets.

Most of the people who wrap copper sheets are from large families, and poor families like them have to save money for a few years if they can wrap a circle of iron sheets.

That's all about saving, not all the work will pull the car over. Even sometimes when harvesting grain, if it is not much, it is carried on people's backs and shoulders, and it will only be used when it is really needed.

That's it, after a few years of use, it will crack, and it will have to be repaired or replaced with new wood.

Yang Fugui is still more worthy of his name, and his family is one of the best in the village.

There is also a donkey at home, so I spent a lot of money to get a board car.

The origin of the donkey is also legendary, and it is really not the property earned by their family, but Yang Fugui and his father inadvertently picked it up on the side of the road.

It is said that Yang Fugui and his father went to water the ground early in the morning and found a small donkey in the ditch.

At that time, the little donkey was skinny and skinny, and he also injured a donkey's leg.

I don't know if it was a wild donkey, or if the dealer saw that it was injured and threw it away.

Yang Fugui's father was in the village at the time, and he was also a well-known capable person, so he should have carried the donkey back to the village.

It was quite a sensation at the time, and after carrying it back, although it was said that there was no money to find a doctor for it, it was carefully taken care of by the family.

I didn't expect it to get better day by day, and I was cured later.

Because this incident was quite sensational, the lieutenant also came to take a look, and saw that the donkey was skinny and his leg was injured, and it really didn't look like he had stolen it from someone else's house, so he registered it.

At this time, large animals must be officially registered, whether it is buying or selling, or dying, they need to go to the official house to say it.

Since then, this donkey has taken root in Yang Fugui's house, and until now, this donkey is already in his teens, and when it comes to harvesting grain, it is the family's big labor.

Every year ago, when everyone went to the town to catch the market, they would take Yang Fugui's donkey cart.

Of course, he doesn't sit in vain, he will give a penny and a penny, which is a big income for his family.

And because of the arrival of this donkey, Yang Fugui's family is getting better and better, at least in this Yangjiaping, it is a famous and good family.

Yang Fugui also married a beautiful daughter-in-law from a neighboring village and gave birth to three big fat boys.
