Xingyuan 1523 Mingsi continent is full of 45 large and small vassal states, the war of conquest has lasted for nearly a hundred years, the world is in darkness, the lives are devastated, the people are displaced and mournful, this year the Central Plains overlord Juliang country has gone through two generations of kings to conquer the south and the north for more than 50 years, 200,000 Juliang Jiashi waved the army south to level the last enemy located in the south - Lu Yue

With the fall of the Lu Yue Kingdom, all the countries of the world have since been united, and the princes and kings of the people have been enthroned in the middle capital city with the support of hundreds of civil and military officials, and a powerful and vast empire was born, and the emperor divided the world into fourteen kingdoms in Kyushu, and pursued a unified law - a unified script - a unified coin and a unified unit of measurement

In order to strengthen his rule over the fourteen kingdoms of Kyushu, the emperor canonized nine important ministers who helped him to gain the world as vassal kings, and handed over the territory of Kyushu to the nine vassal kings to govern, after 30 years of peaceful development, the people were able to recuperate, and the land of Kyushu became rich again, but the powerful empire will gradually grow old like people, and the old emperor died - the little emperor succeeded to the throne, but he neglected the government and indulged in wine

In the perennial snow-covered forests in the north, the Xian Zhenren who are good at riding and archery repeatedly violate the border passes and harass the people and plunder the property, in the wild land covered by the desert in the west, the brave and warlike Tujiang horse bandits are spying on the land of Kyushu, and on the vast sea in the east, the ferocious and ferocious Eastern Wa Haikou covets the wealth of the land of Kyushu - the troubled times will eventually arise again

July is the hottest season of the year, the sun reflects through the dense foliage on the grass in the forest, the silent mountain stream echoes the sound of the stream, an elk slowly walked to the stream, it looked around and felt that there was no danger nearby, then lowered its head to drink in the stream, when suddenly an arrow shot through the elk's neck in the woods

Then three figures came out of the woods, the injured elk struggled a few times and then fell to the side of the stream, and when the three people surrounded him, the elk thought it was dying, the eldest of the three leaned down and covered the elk's eyes with his hands, only to see a cold light flashing from the elk's neck, and the injured elk had no signs of life, "Li Lin-Li Song, you worship the mountain god twice, and the mountain god rewarded us with food"

Speaking this is my second uncle Li Jinglin, our family is the hunter of Guangyuan Village, hit my grandfather's generation since our family has been hunting for a living, to my this is already the fourth generation, when I was 10 years old, Li Song and I went into the mountains with the second uncle to hunt, so far it has been 15 years, perennial hunting has made me and Li Song practice a superb archery, in the bushes within 80 steps that refers to where to fight

The foot strength of the two is different from ordinary people, and they can walk one hundred and twenty miles a day and run on a par with wolves, and it is commonplace to run ten or twenty miles in one breath, you still don't believe that if you don't have these two, then you can also shoot a wild duck - pheasant to catch a hare or something, like a deer - robe - wild boar - wolf - bear and other large prey you don't have to take care of, otherwise even if you hit you, you may not be able to twist it

The arrow just now was shot by Li Song in a hundred steps away, and after worshipping the mountain god, Li Song and I went up to take a look at the elk and didn't drag the elk, it is estimated that the weight of the elk is more than 400 pounds, the second uncle saw this and hurriedly stepped forward to take a hand, even if the three of them were together, it took a lot of effort to drag the prey to the climbing plow, and the prey was tied up, and the three of them took the climbing plow down the mountain

Hunting is a job that depends on luck to eat, if you are lucky, you can hit some larger prey, if you are unlucky, you can hurry up for a few days and finally get empty-handed is also a common thing, this time into the mountain is much smoother than expected, originally planned to stay in the mountains for five days, but I didn't expect that we met the elk after two days by the river, and it was surprising to be able to hit such a big prey

On the way back, the second uncle instructed me and Li Song, if someone in the village asks where the deer was hunted, you two can just say a place to prevaricate, and don't tell others the hunting direction and hunting location, which is a taboo handed down by our hunters for hundreds of years, even the closest relatives are not included, as for what to say, I don't know very well, ask the second uncle to say a word, this is all handed down by the older generation

In the east of the Mingsiya continent, there is a Linhai Prefecture named Binzhou, Guangyuan Village is located in Binzhou-Duyuan County-Pengxi County 180 miles north of the mountain col, the land here is not only fertile but also rich in water resources and mineral resources, the village is not large, there are only more than 300 households, most of the people in the village make a living from farming, live a simple life of sunrise and sunset

There is a small lake less than 10 miles away from the west of the village, which is diverted by the villagers from the Shat River to prevent drought, the lake is surrounded by dense willow and mulberry trees, there are many lotus flowers in full bloom in the lake, only here can find a trace of coolness in the hot summer, the children in the village often come to the lake to play and catch a fish and touch a shrimp, and occasionally there are villagers who come here to fish to improve their lives

About 20 miles north of Guangyuan Village, there is a towering Lingxia Mountain, the mountain is steep - the scenery is spectacular, there is a temple named Dalin Temple built on the mountainside, the buildings in the Dalin Temple are all built on the mountainside, the red wall - blue tiles complement the surrounding environment, the most eye-catching of which is the Daxiong Treasure Hall, there are six huge pillars in the hall to support the entire roof

Each pillar is inlaid with exquisite Buddha reliefs, the hall enshrines a Buddha statue with a white robe and the eighteen Arhat statues, and outside the hall is the statue of the four heavenly kings, they have different solemn and solemn expressions, and they seem to have a strong sense of majesty

I remember when I was a child, Li Song and I and the third Li Pingping ran to Lingxia Mountain to play, inadvertently passed by halfway up the mountain, and saw a group of monks practicing martial arts in the courtyard under the mountain, some practiced boxing - some practiced legs - and constantly hit the pillar with their heads - in some is to practice sticks, and it is quite conscious to look at it than a stroke, and after that, as long as there is time, the third brother will run to the halfway point of Lingxia Mountain

Climb to the treetops to see the monks of Dalin Temple practicing various martial arts, watch for a long time the little brother three have a kind of learning can also follow the comparison a few times, time flickered fifteen years have passed, the former little brother three has now grown into a young man, but to this day the three brothers do not know what the name of the kung fu they have learned, so the three brothers gave a name to the kung fu they learned

The kung fu on the eldest brother Li Lin's fists can be described as varied, and the fight is like flowing clouds and flowing water, so it is called - Baihua Boxing, the second Li Song's kung fu on the legs is fast and sharp and attacks left and right - so it is called the shape of the legs, the third Li Pingping is different from the two elder brothers, his kung fu is on the head, with the power of pure yang and the strength of the inner strength, he can break the stone and break the wood - so it is called a thousand catties to smash

Different from other temples, the wooden door of Dalin Temple is closed all the year round, and there is a wooden plaque outside the gate that reads "The place where the Buddhist door is cultivated, and I hope that the donor will not disturb" The visitors who came to the incense - almsgiving saw this wooden plaque and had no choice but to go back to the house, even if there were visitors who came forward to knock on the door, the result was still the same, and over time there were no visitors to the Dalin Temple to burn incense - almsgiving

The monks in the monastery often go down to the nearby villages, and exchange the daily necessities such as woven straw sandals and bamboo baskets for the food and vegetables they need

After a day's mountain road, the three uncles and nephews went straight to the center of the village as soon as they returned to Guangyuan Village, there was a simple grass hut butcher shop, which was run by my third uncle Li Jingfu, he was a butcher in our village who specialized in slaughtering livestock, and there were not many people who came to the butcher shop to buy meat today

Before coming to the butcher shop, the second uncle was chattering: The third uncle is there to pretend to be dead during the day, hurry up and come over to help

This voice startled the third uncle: Oh, second brother, you can't be quiet, I'm scared, what kind of prey did you hit when you entered the mountain this time

The second uncle's face was a little proud, and he waved his hand and pointed to the climbing plow behind him: See for yourself

When the third uncle saw the elk on the plow, he couldn't help but be a little surprised: It's rare for the second brother to see such a big elk, and there must be three or four hundred catties of it

The second uncle nodded: Almost

So the four uncles and nephews lifted the elk to the press board together, only to see the third uncle divide the three by five, and then divide the skin of the deer into skin, bone and bone, flesh and meat, and this meat is divided into neck meat - shoulder meat - back waist meat - hip waist meat - tendon meat - belly meat, the taste and texture of different parts are not the same, the divided meat is placed on the press board, and several villagers immediately came to inquire

"Why is Li Laosan selling this venison today?"

Third uncle: 12 yuan a catty

"Then I'll exchange food for it"

Third uncle: If you exchange grain, three catties of rice for one catty of meat

"Okay, you give me three catties, and I'll send you the food later."

Third Uncle: Okay, I'll give you a piece first

"Pick the fat point of the gaa"

Third Uncle: Okay

After finishing Ga, the third uncle chopped a few pieces of flesh and bones with meat and handed them to the villager: You can take these bone chops back and stew some soup for the old lady

The villager stretched out his hand and took the meat and bone steaks: Li Laosan, our village belongs to you the most interesting

The third uncle is really busy with a knife in his hand, just after noon, more than 300 catties of venison were sold out, the third uncle cleaned up the butcher shop and followed us home, there is an adobe fenced compound in the northernmost part of Guangyuan Village, there are eight thatched adobe houses with courtyards and a barn, that is the Li family compound, the Li family is definitely the most prosperous family in Guangyuan Village, there are nearly 20 people together

As soon as Li Song and I entered the yard, there was a fat man with a big waist and a round head running towards the two of us, he took me and Li Song in his arms, and the sudden brute force strangled me and the two of us out of breath: Big brother - second brother, you are finally back, no one has played with me when you are not at home these days, I want to kill you

This is my third brother Li Pingping, I believe everyone also guessed that he is Har, originally he was not like this, just because he had a serious illness when he was a child, and he had a high fever for several days, and he found a good three or four Langzhong and took more than a dozen pairs of decoctions, he only got a little better, but after he got better, he became Ha, so that he is 22 years old this year, but his behavior and behavior are still like children

Li Song patted him on the shoulder: "Aren't you coming back with my eldest brother for the third child, you see what delicious food we brought back for you."

Saying that, he pointed to the plough behind him, Li Pingping immediately ran over, when he saw the venison and liver-sausage in the wooden plate, which he was most willing to eat, he clapped his hands excitedly and jumped on the spot: Oh great, there is meat to eat tonight

The second uncle picked up the deerskin from the plow and combed it with his hands, and then he handed the deerskin to me: You two clean up this deerskin, keep it and use it as a dowry when you take your daughter-in-law in the future

At this time, the third uncle patted me on the back: You and Li Song are also not small, you have to hurry up in this matter, if there is a girl you like, your second uncle and I will find someone to match

Li Lin heard that there was an embarrassment in the back, and he scratched his head with his hand: What the two uncles said is that I must hurry up on this matter

Third uncle: Second brother, you are tired from entering the mountain this time, I will cook a few dishes in a while, and our two brothers will have a few drinks in the evening

Second uncle: I'm really a little tired - I'll go back to the house and lie down for a while, and our brother won't get drunk at night

Today for the Li family can be said to have received a lot of goods, the grain alone has been exchanged for more than 800 catties, and 850 copper coins have been collected, and the required rations have been removed, and the surplus food will be sold in the nearby county, or exchanged for some of the items we need for life
