Chapter 61: The Zhang Family

Lilac knew that Feifei's home was under that "chicken head".

She suppressed the turbulence in her heart, pretended to be surprised, and said, "That mountain looks like a big chicken's head. ”

Ding Shan said, "That's Jitou Peak." ”

Lilac asked again, "Where is my grandfather's house?" ”

Ding Shan said, "Jitou Peak is far away, in the deepest part of this mountain range, and it is also the highest peak. It is separated from Nanfu Mountain by two large mountains and a large canyon, and no one has ever been there. Zhang's father-in-law's house is almost there, and it is in the valley below. ”

People can't go, but eagles can.

The big reishi floated in front of Lilac's eyes.

She said silently, Feifei, where are you?

Ding Liren persuaded her, "Sister, eat bread and drink water." Don't cry, Dad said that the master will be fine and will come back to life. ”

Ding Shan looked at Lilac's red and swollen eyes, and his little face was so thin that his little face was pointed. Secretly said, they all said that this child was precocious and thoughtful, and it was true.

Such a young child doesn't even know what death means, and her parting of life and death just now makes people feel sad.

He fed the cloves a few sips with a water bladder and shoved half a loaf and a peeled egg into her hands.

"Eat. Don't worry, your lord is a tyrant in Gu'an Town, and when he was young, he often fought and his head was bleeding, so he didn't die so easily. ”

Almost a day and a night without a drop of water, Lilac quickly finished eating the eggs and cakes, and drank a few sips of the water bladder by herself.

Xia Dahe said to Ding Shan, "Third Grandpa, there are so many birds today, revolving around our heads, driving away a batch of people and coming again." ”

Ding Shan also wondered and shook his head.

After a few people finished eating, they continued to move forward.

The road behind the mountain is relatively gentle, and after an hour, there are more pedestrians, and you can see patches of terraced rice fields and tea plantations, as well as some fruit trees.

There are two small villages on the gentle slope below, Liuwa Village to the north and Liujian Village to the south. Below is a rushing river. The river rushes out of the mountains, and then winds its way around the north side of Nanfu Mountain, flowing outside the mountain to join the Heilong River.

The scenery here is beautiful and the natural resources are abundant, but the villagers living here are barren.

If you were engaged in the tourism industry in your previous life and repaired the road, this will definitely be a 4A scenic spot. If you make up some historical figures or events, 5A scenic spots are possible.

Finally came to the entrance of the village.

Ding Liren pointed to a winding path and said, "Follow this road." ”

The people here are all thatched houses with loess walls.

Also, it costs a lot of shipping to bring tiles and bricks in from outside.

According to Zhang, Liuwa Village and Liujian Village don't even have a single camel animal, and they rely on people's backs to sell things to the mountains.

The Zhang family married into the Ding family for eleven years, and the money to fund his mother's family alone was nearly ten times, and the Zhang family used the money to buy two acres of mountainous land.

There is little land and people are poor, but few people die of starvation. As long as you are diligent, you can be satisfied with farming, planting tea, planting fruit trees, hunting, fishing, and picking mountain goods.

However, there are no fence walls here, and all the houses are high earth walls. There are many wild animals in the mountains, so in order to prevent wild animals from entering the yard in the middle of the night.

Suddenly, Ding Liren shouted, "Brother Jinshi." ”

Zhang Jinshi is the second son of Zhang's eldest brother Zhang Dabao, half a year older than Ding Liren.

A black boy who was playing with his friends saw them, and he was excited, so he turned around and ran back, shouting as he ran, "Master, master, brother and sister Xiang are here......"

Although it was the first time for Lilac to come to Liuwa Village, the Zhang family had been to Ding's house and knew Lilac,

When he came to Zhang's house, Mr. Zhang greeted him. Surprised, "Ouch, his Uncle Shanzi, a rare guest." What about Zhaozi? ”

He didn't know Xia Dahe

I was even more surprised to see Lilac actually come.

Ding Shan and Xia Dahe put the child down.

Ding Shan said, "My second brother's family has an accident, let's send these two children over." ”

Zhang's father-in-law pulled Ding Shan and the others into the house to talk, and asked Zhang Jinshi to go to the field to call his son back to accompany the guests, and his daughter-in-law to come back to cook and clean up the house.

It's not the end of the day, and Ding Shan and Ding Bolt are late.

Ding Shan hurriedly said, "There is still something at home, we have to rush out of the mountain." ”

Mr. Zhang asked his granddaughter Zhang Yu to quickly boil a few eggs and bake a few cakes, so that they could take them to eat on the road.

The eldest uncle, Zhang Dabao, has two sons and two daughters. The eldest daughter Zhang Yu is thirteen years old, the eldest son Zhang Jinshan is ten years old, the second son Zhang Jinshi is eight years old, and the youngest daughter Zhang Qian is six years old.

The second uncle Zhang Xiaobao is seventeen years old, and he has no daughter-in-law, and he has a high vision, and he is bent on finding Shui Ling.

Zhang Yu looks like Zhang, tall and thin, and very diligent.

She smiled and led the little brother and sister to sit under the eaves, reached out and picked a few ripe dates from the jujube tree in the yard for them, and went to the kitchen to get busy.

Zhang Qian was very shy, and brought out two bowls of water to the little brother and sister, "Brother Ren, Sister Xiang, drink water." Put the sugar, and it's so sweet. ”

Before Lilac could speak, she ran into the kitchen with a red face to help her sister light the fire.

Zhang Qian is very thin, her face is sallow, she has always been in poor health and often gets sick. Lilac once pinched her little hand, which was really as thin as a chicken paw.

The big yellow dog called Facai barked twice, and then squatted down next to Lilac very honestly.

Ding Liren wondered, "Every time my eldest brother and I come, it's so tight, why is it so honest today?" ”

Lilac ignored him, but looked at the distant chicken-headed bee in a daze.

With a lot of effort, Uncle Zhang and Uncle Yu, who were busy in the field, rushed back.

Zhang Jinshi said that Zhang Xiaobao and Zhang Jinshan went to the mountains to cut firewood and pick up mountain goods, but they were not found.

After the adults finished speaking, they called the little siblings in.

Mr. Zhang pulled the little brother and sister to his lap and leaned against him, and said, "We are poor, and we can't help Ding's family financially." These two children will definitely be taken care of and will live as long as they want. Let Ding's in-laws and son-in-law rest assured......"

The Zhang family caught two chickens, took a bag of mushrooms, two taels of silver, and went to the neighbor's house to buy some good medicine for stopping bleeding, Golden Snake Vine, and asked Ding Shan and Xia Dahe to bring it to Ding Zhuang.

Lilac was full of gratitude, her mother didn't help them in vain before. Two taels of silver, it doesn't look like much, it should be half of his family's savings, which is saved for Zhang Xiaobao's daughter-in-law. If the money is taken out, if the family can't repay the money immediately, the little uncle's marriage to his daughter-in-law will be postponed again.

The courtyard of the Zhang family is not large, there is a jujube tree in the middle, and the main house has a total of six rooms before and after. All but one hall was occupied. There were no special warehouses, and each room was filled with grain or sundries.

There are two partial buildings in the back, one is a kitchen, and the other is a thatched toilet plus a pigsty and a chicken pen.

Ding Liren whispered to Ding Xiang, "His thatched toilet is smelly and scary, my sister is and pee in the bucket, and my brother will help you pour the bucket." ”

Lilac looked at the seven-year-old radish head, shook her head, and said, "No need." ”

Ding Liren said again, "When my sister goes to the thatched house, let the fishing cousin or the superficial cousin accompany her, don't fall down." ”

"Oh, good."

Mr. Zhang arranged for Ding Xiang to live with Sister Zhang Yu, and Ding Liren lived with Brother Zhang Jinshan.
