Chapter 42: I Regret Entering the Two Rivers in This Life (Two Chapters in One)
"Come, kid."
The fourth uncle beckoned to Xu Tianxin, and after reading it carefully, his first reaction was to wonder first, thinking in his heart, why didn't he follow his father's good looks.
Needless to say, Arita is dignified, tall and old.
And this child's mother, if you want the fourth uncle to tell the truth, there is no other advantage except for good looks.
Because the daughter-in-law of Aritian is old and poor, she obviously lives in the town and is better than the village, but she has a gambler father who sells her daughter for fifteen taels of silver. That's it, the girl committed suicide by jumping into the river and was rescued by Arita who sent fifteen taels of silver to her home as a daughter-in-law.
It's just that it's only been a good life for two years, and after giving birth to Tian Xin, he bleed heavily before he was confined.
The fourth uncle thought to himself: At present, the child's grandfather's uncle's family should still be in the town, I heard that although the gambler's grandfather is dead, but there is nothing at home, and the days are incomparable in front of the Xu family, so he can't come to see his granddaughter empty-handed, and he usually doesn't see each other.
So the fourth uncle will wonder when he looks at Xu Tianxin carefully, let's just say, this child's mother is also a person who can make young boys look straight, otherwise Youtian wouldn't have a daughter-in-law who has been guarded for so many years, but why does this girl look black, and her hair is messy, anyway, it's not ugly, it feels very sloppy.
"Tell grandpa Tai, as far as you say that, can you lead your younger brothers and sisters to complete it."
There will be adults in the back.
For example, these old guys, and some of the strong laborers will make boats at the entrance of the village, and ensure the safety of the children while working.
But children always have to have someone with them when they fight.
Xu Tianxin whispered slowly: "Yes, you just need to prepare in advance." ”
The fourth uncle looked at the seventh uncle beside him: "It doesn't sound like a person who does something ruthless, but I don't know what's going on, I believe it when she says she can." ”
"Steady, there is that steadyness in your body."
"Cheng, then grandpa will call your grandmother to count your work for you, and you have to count seven points anyway."
Xu Tianxin's expression finally showed a little strange: "No need." ”
She can't do anything else, she has tried to push stones and carry soil, but she can't earn a point. If anyone really gives her a job, he thinks that he is a grandmother's relation.
The seventh master said: "If you want it, you will have to settle accounts for everyone in the future." ”
That Liu Jingdong, you don't need to ask to know that you can read books loosely, so don't expect him to settle accounts.
But the kid is also a good one, like the children in our village are very simple, anyway, they are a hundred sets better than his father.
And the fourth master has already announced, "Everyone be quiet, Tian Xin will not hit the seven points." ”
"That's too bad." Emma, I really didn't expect this girl to do anything.
The little daughter-in-law also whispered: "No wonder I can make the headhunter so catchy, I can only understand what is going on today." ”
I heard that the son of the head catcher is learning to be a shopkeeper, and the family will marry back such a daughter-in-law who can settle accounts, and the young couple can do any business in the future.
There is also a mother who is telling her daughter, "Have you seen it, the girl's family has brains and is valuable, and she will be worth seven points when she comes up." ”
The group of big girls and small daughters-in-law in the village usually ranges from two to five points, and only the second bald girl Yingzi is seven points, because she is the leader of the group of big girls and small daughters-in-law.
Mai Miao heard everyone praising Tian Xin while working, not to mention how beautiful it was, the whole village knew that she and Xu Tianxin were good, and her mother also took a look at her last night, unlike usual, she was the second daughter in the family, with the eldest sister above, and the two younger sisters below, she was inconspicuous.
But Mai Miao also wondered when Tian Xin learned these skills, and how he felt that he had been talking less recently. However, Tian Xin should be very happy now, because just now she saw Liu Jingdong staring at Tian Xin.
Not only Mai Miao is stupidly happy, but there is also Yu Qinniang, who is late.
"Why did you come, you just announced that your niece is seven points, and your niece is so capable."
"Then appoint, with my mother-in-law and my eldest brother."
Look at this person who doesn't ask a reason, and the direct conclusion is excellent.
When Yu Qinniang replied, she didn't forget to ask a few mothers-in-law: "Auntie, do you still want to keep the fat land for the firewood stacks in your house?" ”
"If you don't have those, you already have a lot of money at home, what are you going to do?" What is it to mention such sad things.
Yu Qinniang remembered that when she was eating chicken before, her mother-in-law mentioned it, saying that she should save more ashes from plants and trees, and don't throw it away in the future.
She thought that she didn't have any work anyway, so when she finished the rack, she used a bag to pick up the ashes of the burned firewood, and tossed a lot of bags of dust home.
When Mrs. Xu turned around, she saw her stupid daughter-in-law asking around, "Auntie, do you want the ashes of your house that are being burned?" ”
Mrs. Xu grabbed Yu Qinniang: "Everyone eat, what are you gray." Hurry up, you can eat with my bowl too. ”
"But, mother, I don't have a job." Yu Qinniang felt that as a family member of "Dai Lizheng", she should set an example, so as not to cause trouble to her mother-in-law and have no authority in front of the villagers.
"Let you eat, eat, come to work on the dam for a while, behave well, and give you a credit for work from tomorrow."
Mrs. Xu wanted to work under her nose for the whole dam, but Yu Qinniang couldn't prepare it and could be more relaxed.
Otherwise, you don't know wow, yesterday her stupid daughter-in-law even carried her arms on her back, on top of her head, and brought home four big baskets of mushrooms, and there were big bags of wild vegetables hanging in front of her like pregnancy in July and August, and the family members in the live broadcast room watched it enter the hospital horizontally.
The mothers-in-law who paid attention to this sighed: "If you don't eat yourself, let your daughter-in-law eat first, or talk about this person, there is really nowhere to look, and the sleeping kung fu will change the boss." ”
She really can't say with her conscience that Tian Xin's milk used to be good to her daughter-in-law.
"It used to be before, you see how many of us are too, two days ago I could still dry the rack for some rotten cabbage leaves, and today I brought a big bag for everyone to eat. Let's just look at the river and it will be bright, do you want Xianghua to take care of things, her mind will only be brighter, who is still staring at that little thing at home, it is normal for there to be changes. ”
The mother-in-law who spoke fished to the end with a spoonful and fished more fish for the three fierce sons.
San Mengzi smiled: "Auntie is generous, give me more than your family Qingzi." ”
"Of course, my family Qingzi is useless to you, so he should eat less."
The villagers of Erdaohe Village stood or squatted by the river, eating a mouthful of dry food and a mouthful of fish soup.
So that the people who tied the big tree were obviously quite far away, and they could even hear the sound of sucking soup, which made them hungry.
I also heard people from Erdaohe Village saying:
"Mother, this fish soup is so delicious, I'll drink it for the first time."
"Fresh, right? We have fish this time, and my mother will cook more soup for you in the future. ”
Even the fourth uncle ate the braised fish head in sauce, and the seventh uncle and several of the old men ate with sauce on their hands, and even the fish bubbles were chewed fragrantly.
When will this river be completely occupied, he will sit on the kang head at home to eat fish jelly and drink wine.
Even Liu Jingdong felt that eating at the dam was more fragrant than at home.
Wang Yusheng squatted by the river and ate and ate, sneering for a while, and was almost stuck in his throat by a fish bone: "You see, those people on the other side came back after fighting the fire." ”
The face was black, white and black, and the hair was hairy.
These words provoked everyone to look over, and sure enough, there were many Wangjiagou villagers standing on the opposite bank, and Wang Laoba seemed to be jumping to his feet and scolding.
"Are you scolding us, give them two sentences."
Then Mrs. Xu heard the village boys yelling at the other side:
"Have you eaten it? Tired enough, right? ”
"Yes!!"
"What? If you want someone, bring the fish, Hachifune! ”
"What do you want fish for? Eat and beat you up!! ”
The older people also laughed along with it, and the food became more fragrant.
——
In the afternoon, someone came from the opposite side, and someone came.
It is said that all the people from other villages who have in-laws with Wangjiagou have come, especially the in-laws of the eight captives who were captured.
and Wang Laoba's subordinates under Laizi in the nearby Shiliba Village.
At this time, the children of the Sun family in Erdaohe Village were in the dense forest, stepping on the professional tools of pine nuts and carefully picking birch bark.
Only birch bark is extremely flexible, and with a large amount of oil, it is not easy to permeate and rot.
The children of the Sun family will keep the words of the fourth grandfather in mind, and do not hurt the root of the tree in the process of peeling, so that the birch bark can grow up next year, for the sake of future generations.
There was another group of men in the woods chopping pine trees, shouting trumpets and lifting them down.
They were to use pine planks as a skeleton to support the hull.
This is in the woods.
The village is even more orderly.
The 50-year-old men and the first batch of injured men, some of whom fell putty, some sat at the entrance of the village to boil fish bladder glue, rubbed hemp, sharpened wooden wedges, and braided fish baskets and fish nets.
Even Lao Zhai Tou took out a few tiles and put them on the firewood, sitting at the entrance of the village trembling and frying fish oil for everyone.
Pick out the oily fish from the fish, cut the fish into pieces, and the little bit of grilled fish oil flows into the earthen pot under the tile. Fish dregs for the boys to mix some salt and dry food to eat.
And the fish oil accumulated in this way can be used as lamp oil for all families in the village.
It can also be used to wipe this fish oil on the torch when fishing in the dark on rainy and snowy days, which is not easy to extinguish.
This idea was said by Guan Erbald.
Guan Erbald didn't say a word, that is, using mermaid paste as a candle and fish oil is more powerful, and there is a saying that there is an inextinguishable lamp for thousands of years, which is generally used in mausoleums. He has long been knowledgeable.
On the other side of the dam, the thin little daughters-in-law are picking up soil under the dam, and the big girls are stuffing the stones used to block the pipe gushing into the bag.
Forty wheelbarrows were taking turns pushing rocks and dirt to pile up the dam with no pipes, and they never forgot the distance Liu Laozhu had left before leaving.
It's just that the old ladies are always not good at work, because they are more worried about repairing a river with stones. In the future, if you want to fish often, you must have a way to carry the fish.
And where there are loopholes, on the river, the three big boats of the Liu family and the two small broken boats in the village, are standing swimming warriors who are jumping into the river and plugging holes.
They took turns taking a breath to drink the hot fish soup and then jumping down, the powerful women on the dam pulling on the ropes.
At this time, Mrs. Xu and Yu Qinniang were pulling up the marked rope by the river, patrolling the foot of the embankment at high tide and flat tide, and the three of them moved slowly in a row.
Circle all the problems on the dam, and check it after the repair is completed.
Behind Mrs. Xu are the archers who patrol back and forth between the river and the entrance of the village.
Shoujiang is afraid that the ferry from the opposite village will come to find fault, in which case, they will immediately throw big stones below.
The archers are also not fixed, and the main ones are all at the same level of archery, just taking shifts to push stones and patrol.
This is not shouting: "Change of the guard." ”
You take my arrows, I take your cart and continue to work.
Yu Qinniang looked at all this, thinking that her mother-in-law was so powerful, she felt that the whole village would be turned upside down in just two days.
I will be very happy when Uncle Li Zheng comes back, and I will let her mother-in-law take care of it next time I go out.
She didn't worship anyone in the future, but she worshipped her mother-in-law.
At this moment, the gong suddenly sounded, and Lao Zhai Tou was removed from the burden of striking the gong, and now he was using a cloth bag that ran extremely fast.
The eight-year-old boy made a horn: "There is a situation! ”
After shouting, he was afraid that the dam would not hear it, so he knocked down the crooked-necked tree that had been dug in the middle of the village with loose soil and red cloth, and then ran all the way to Xu Tianxin with a gong and a gong.
The cloth bag is in place.
Mrs. Xu heard the sound of the gong and was afraid that her granddaughter would suffer, after all, it was the first time for the child to lead the team, so she hurriedly led people to the entrance of the village.
By the time they arrived, children ranging from seven to fourteen years old had already started fighting with the village.
One by one, they bravely charged and burned the quicklime bags in their hands and threw them at Wang Laoba.
Wang Laoba specially rode a bull today, just to teach Erdaohe Village a lesson to show his momentum, and felt that there was a mount that was more awesome.
As a result, this fried him, and he was immediately thrown off. The ox stopped pulling the calf with him, turned around and ran.
"What's that? What's wrong again, ahhhhh ”
More and more people rolled on the ground, reaching out to drag the people next to them, falling and getting up again.
Then the children only threw burning explosive bags, and five of the boys wore black scarves on their heads, carrying bags of quicklime, and shouted: "Rush! ”
As soon as the cloth in his hand is raised, the lime is all over the sky, and he will withdraw after he is finished.
At the same time, the children, who were waiting for the lime to fall, and covered their small faces and hands tightly, rushed forward to play Songkran with water scoops one by one.
Xu Tianxin only hated that she was not prepared enough, if she bought the water bladder here in ancient times for another two days and came back to sew it, she would definitely make a water gun for her younger brothers and sisters, and she would not have to bother so much.
"Burn me, run." The two sons that Wang Laoba was looking for ran away first.
Running two steps and thinking that Wang Laoba would give them wine money if he was fine, he cursed Wang Laoba in his heart, and endured the burns on his arm and came back to carry away the goods of this pit, and he regretted entering the Erdao River in this life.
The villagers of Wangjiagou Village did not dare to come forward at all.
Oh my god, it's wicked.
Seeing that the people in front of them were in chaos, they were even more glad, and while turning around and running back in a panic, they shouted: "Retreat, the people of Erdaohe are crazy!" ”
Want to run?
Xu Tianxin waved the green flag in his hand.
Suddenly a group of children appeared in the woods on both sides of the road, and they rode on the trees and began to throw stones down.
And what frightened Wang Laoba the most was that the strong laborers of Erdaohe Village arrived.
And this time is obviously different from the last time, and it feels very creepy.
Because those men were fighting in formation, the first row of men was raking with hoes, the second batch of sickles, and the third row of wooden sticks shouting: "Protect my village, fight to the end!" ”
Four Burpee gestures: "Archery." ”
This time, the archery was not dipped in gold juice and was not shot at the body, but only shot under the feet of those people like a warning, so that a cool breeze came out of Wangjiagou's back, of course, if the archery is not allowed, it doesn't matter.
Dozens of people were injured in our village, and if you don't hurt a few, you won't have a long memory.
In the hand of the fourth uncle, there was also a long stick, and a big red cloth fluttered in the wind on the stick.
This is his wife's wedding dress back then, although it is a little faded, it can't be pulled hard, the years are too long, the fabric is a little unstrong, but in the future is their village flag.
After running away, Wang Laoba looked at Erdaohe Village, which could not be attacked, and was shocked, and ordered Laizi's subordinates: "Send me to the county seat to find my brother." ”
