When she got dressed and walked out of the room, she saw Yin Keqin carrying a wooden basin to feed water to the big bear.

When he heard the sound of the door opening, he turned his head and smiled embarrassedly: "I just came back from carrying water, and I saw that it had been staring at the bucket, thinking that it was thirsty, so I fetched some water for it to drink."

I got some hay for it, but it didn't eat it, and there are still some vegetable leaves at home, I wonder if it can eat it? ”

Qian Yan shook her head and said: "No, it just eats hay, it just wants to drink water first when it is thirsty, and then feed it after drinking the water and eat." ”

She knew that the big bear was spoiled by ugliness, and always fed it fresh grass, and of course she didn't want to eat hay.

This guy must be waiting to be fed by Ugly, but his wish is going to be frustrated, so it's better to keep a low profile in other people's homes.

The big bear could understand their conversation, and the movement of drinking water was lightened, and when he heard Tilt Yan say that he should let him eat hay, he looked up at her with some displeasure.

Qian Yan walked up and rubbed its mane with a smile, and coaxed: "There is no fresh forage this season, so you can bear with it, and wait until you go back to the city to eat apples." ”

Big Bear snorted, lowered his head and continued to drink.

Yin Keqin looked at the side with a look of surprise, "Miss Yang, can it understand what we are saying?" ”

Qian Yan smiled and nodded, "Yes, it should have been with us for a long time, and I often talk to it, so it can understand now." ”

She reached out and took the wooden basin from Yin Keqin's hand and said to him, "I'll feed it, do you still have to fetch water again?" ”

Yin Keqin waited for her to stabilize before letting go, nodded and replied: "I have to pick two more buckets, then I will go and fetch water." By the way, after breakfast, can Miss Yang teach us how to drive the car, we are going to move the graves of our father and brother and sister, and we will have to drive the ox cart to pull the coffin, we are not very good. ”

When he got up early to fetch water, he happened to meet three other families like his family, and some family members died outside, so he told them about this idea, and everyone hit it off and decided to set off together after learning to catch a car.

Qian Yan blinked, how can she say that her driving skills are not good?

She also knows some simple passwords, and she usually relies on ugliness to hang up.

While pretending to be curious to ask about the situation of several other families, he called Ugly in his head.

"What about ugliness? I don't know how to do it myself, how do I teach this? ”

Ugly Chou soothed: "It's okay, you just agree, with my current ability, just give an obedient order to the animal pulling the cart." ”

Tilting Yan's eyes lit up, this is good! I didn't expect it to be able to do this.

The smile on his face deepened, and he said to Yin Keqin: "Then after eating, we will learn well in the village and on the road outside, and there are still some difficult sections to try, and you won't be able to deal with it when you encounter it on the road." ”

Yin Keqin laughed out of his white teeth and nodded vigorously, "Hey! Okay, I'm going to tell them. ”

After the words fell, he walked out of the house quickly with a barrel and a flat pole.

After feeding the bear with water and some hay, he dragged it out for a walk and peed in the open space on the side of the mountain before bringing it back.

As soon as I entered the yard, I saw the old lady waiting for her in the yard, and when I saw her leading the horse back, I asked what she was doing, and after knowing that she was going to the toilet outside, she said angrily: "Oh, our family is so particular, just pee directly in the yard, and it will be clean when the time comes, this horse eats grass, and the dung does not stink."

Like the cattle raised by the patriarchs, the cow dung is dried and stored, and it can be used as charcoal in winter. ”

Hearing the old lady say this, she remembered that this is the northwest, and many places of those ethnic minorities burn cow dung.

Every time she finishes feeding the bear, she will find the other party to let it excrete, sometimes she can't help it on the road, this guy will also pull on the road, but soon they walked over, and it was okay, but she wouldn't let it pull nearby when she was resting.

The main reason is that her nose is too smart, much more sensitive than ordinary people's sense of smell, so she feels that the taste is big.

They didn't have breakfast until Yin Keqin came back from carrying water, and at the dinner table, he said by the way that he had told the young people of the three families that they had come out of the family to learn how to catch a car today.

I don't know how many days Qian Yan will stay here, and she can't keep letting the little girl teach them.

When the time comes, it will be up to you to see who learns it quickly, and if you are more stupid and can't learn, you can just go back and be taught by him.

The patriarch and the clan family have a total of five cows, and they have a total of four families, just drive four carts out.

Fortunately, several families with cattle have cars, otherwise they have to buy them, otherwise there is no way to pull the coffin, and there is no way to pull it back at one time.

Because the ox cart is so big, it's good to pull two coffins, but his family has to have three, so you can't stack the coffins together, and you can't stack them even if you want to, the coffin has a curve, not a flat one.

"The other three families are at least two people who died outside, and it is impossible to help pull a mouthful, my family and Kehong's family are all three people, so we still have to go twice."

Qian Yan gave him an idea and said: "Since there are five cows, why don't you just drive them together, you are four families, not just four people, the three of them have a large population, and one more person will come to learn to drive a car, just go together."

Directly drive the five cars out together, find a grave address close to the location you go, and then the two families will be pulled back together, or let the other party help to run with you. ”

Yin Keqin's eyes lit up when he heard this, why didn't he think of it.

The location where several families died outside was actually not far away, almost all of them went to the southeast, after all, the other direction was outside the gate, and they went out to die faster, and they ran to the interior with hope.

So they're all on the way, and the location is just a little different.

The other three, two of them died and two were outside, and one family was also dead and three people were outside, which was Yin Kehong's family.

In this way, the five cars are just right, the troubles are solved, Yin Keqin eats more fragrant breakfast, and eats two flatbreads in one go.

Their breakfast was leftover pancakes from yesterday, a plate of scrambled eggs, and a pot of millet porridge.

There was no rabbit left yesterday, and the three of them ate it in the evening, and there was no other side dish to stew the rabbit directly, and there was really not much meat except for the bones.

But yesterday, the villagers sent a lot of eggs, as well as three old hens, and food snacks or something, which are completely enough to eat in the past few days.

After breakfast, Qian Yan helped the old lady clean up the table and was pushed out of the kitchen by the old lady.

She washed her hands in the courtyard and followed Yin Keqin out, and they went directly to the patriarch's house, saying that they would gather there.

The door of the patriarch's house was open, and there was no one inside, and the granddaughter-in-law of the patriarch's family had already returned to her parents' house, and she was the only one left in the whole family, and a woman did not dare to live here by herself.

Before they came, they happened to pass by the little daughter-in-law's mother's house, and they also told her about using an ox cart, after all, this is the property of the other party, and if they want to borrow it, they must drink someone to talk about it.

The man said that after that, the ox cart would be owned by the village, including the house and land of the patriarch's family, and that she would be alone anyway, except for the dowry brought back to her mother's family, the rest would be given to the village.

Although she married into the patriarch's family, to be honest, she has not been doing very well.

Within a few years of marrying into the door, she was left with a woman in the family, washing clothes, cooking, taking care of children every day, all the housework was done by her, and she didn't even have a helper, and she was tired to death every day.

It's hard to take the child in his teens, but the housework in the house can't be done every day.

Qian Yan came over early in the morning and saw her washing clothes at home, that is the norm, she washes the clothes of a large family by herself, and she has to cook and clean, although she doesn't have to work in the field, but there is no idle time all day long.

In addition to the fact that her son's death made her sad, the father-in-law, father-in-law and man in the family, died when they died, she didn't care at all, anyway, she didn't have much affection.

When she was young, she actually had a sweetheart, but because of the rules of the village, the girls in the village must marry into the patriarch and the clan's hometown, which forcibly separated her and her sweetheart.

The most hateful thing is that her sweetheart was also chosen as a sacrifice!

To be honest, she has always hated the patriarch's family all these years, and she thinks the same as the villagers, thinking that only the men of the patriarch's branch in the village enjoy the blessing of the ancestors, and they all have a long life, at least they can live to be in their eighties, and they are not sick or sick.

And the people of the village, including the women who married into their families, were not protected at all, not to mention that they did not live to be forty years old, and they had to worry that their families would be chosen as sacrifices and lose their lives.

How can you not hate?

Later, after having a child, she put her feelings on her child, but as her son grew older, his personality became more and more like his grandfather and father, and he was no longer close to her.

Now that all the men in the family are dead, including her son, in addition to being sad, she also has a sense of relief.

So she didn't have any idea about the property of the patriarch's family, and she couldn't keep it as a woman.

And now there is no patriarch, the tomb of the old ancestor has also collapsed, the old ancestor is gone, many people in the village gathered together yesterday to talk about this topic, it will definitely be different in the future, they should be able to interact with the outside world at will.

Many daughters-in-law who have married in from outside are ready to go back to their parents' homes today, and they can go back to their parents' homes before, but it is not easy for their mothers' families to come over.

Because the patriarch does not allow outsiders to stay in the village, even if the mother's family comes, they have to leave on the same day, and the daughter-in-law who marries a little farther away rarely comes because of this, and they can't accept it at all.

Of course, most of them were married from the surrounding villages, and the farthest did not go to the county seat, but from some villages on the west side of Yunling County, which was safe for the people of Qinian Village.

In other words, the farthest distance that the people of Qinian Village can walk is to the edge of Yunling County, and if it is farther, it will not work, and something will happen.

Yin Keqin's father and brother and sister had an accident on a mountain road, and the one who came to report their funerals and help them bury them was the official of the county seat.

Hearing that they were going to Yunling County, Qian Yan thought that if the ugly and ugly absorbed it quickly, could she go with them?

Anyway, the direction is the same, and when the time comes, Ugly Ugly can help them tame these cows a little more, and when they come back, there should be no problem.

While waiting for the others, Qian Yan asked them what time they were leaving.

Yin Keqin: "This is still certain, you have to ask the old people who know this, the grave can not be moved at any time, it must be counted as a good life."

Most of them are the two days of Qingming and Zhongyuan, or it is a good day to find a Taoist monk. ”

Since this is the case, Qian Yan will not ask any more, even if the time is determined, she is not sure.

"Ugly, when will you be able to absorb it?"

Although Chou Chou said that it would be two or three days at most, if it could be advanced, she was going to stay here for two or three days anyway, and she would leave after receiving the treasure, and the rest would be left as fate would be.

After waiting for about twenty minutes, the people arrived, and three people came, namely Yin Kexuan, Yin Kesheng, and Yin Kehong.

Yin Keqin told Yin Kehong about Qian Yan's suggestion, and Yin Kehong asked them to wait and run home directly to call someone.

After a while, Yin Kehong brought his brother Yin Ke Yin Keyuan over, the two brothers looked very similar, they both had Chinese faces, thick eyebrows and big eyes.

Qian Yan found that the men in Qi Nian Village were not short, and the lowest was more than 1.75 meters, too, their ancestors were all tall and powerful royal guards, and the wives they married later were all nearby, and the people here were not low.

They first brought out the patriarch's oxen, and then Qian Yan first taught them how to put the ox cart on the ox.

Although she had never driven an ox cart, the method of this cart was much the same, not much different from a donkey cart and a horse-drawn cart.

It's just that the rope that ties the cow is on the nose, and the horse and donkey are on the mouth, and that's the difference.

After sheathing the cart, they went to drive out the other four oxen, got them all on and went on the road.

Let them sit directly on the wheels and try to drive forward, which is different from the carriage, the horse runs fast, and if you don't get it right, you may run out.

Oxen, especially those who work as adults, rarely go crazy unless they are frightened, and they have been tamed very well.

Like the granddaughter-in-law of the patriarch's family, the daughter-in-law of the family who rented several clans also returned to her parents' house, and had no opinion on their use of ox carts.

Just give them back when they come back with all their use, after all, all the property will belong to them in the future.

It's not that no one in the village cares, and even if they are careful, they won't do too blatantly to take advantage of others.

And some of them are preparing to leave the village and want to go outside.

Of course, most of them will stay, after all, they have lived here for several lifetimes.

The village is still there, then a village chief must be re-elected, yes, the village chief, this time there will be no more patriarchs, they have some resistance to the name of the patriarch, that branch is considered to be destroyed, this title they all feel bad now, so in the future, there will only be a village chief and no patriarch.

In the future, the ancestors will go to their ancestral graves on the mountain, and there will be no more cruel sacrifices.
