Chapter 2 There are "happy" things in the family

"It's really strange, there are people asking for directions in this corner of the place, it seems that they are not from the village, could it be from other villages?"

"No one will be stupid enough to come out of Sangzhong Town, but they can't figure out the way back......"

"It can't be that he came from behind Hulu Mountain, right? It would be no easier for the Germans to bypass the Maginot Line and pass through the Ardennes Forest......"

Saying goodbye to the man and leaving, the young man named Wu He walked on the dirt road home with his head down, his mind was racing, but after some guessing, he didn't come up with any definite answers, so he had to adjust his thoughts and continue to hurry.

The young man is honest in appearance, but from his smart eyes, you can see the intelligence of his mind and the dexterity of his mind......

But in the case of not knowing anything, no matter how smart and dexterous you are, it is not of much use.

After all, reasoning is not like divination, which requires clues......

Wu He's home is not far from the river, so he didn't have to walk long before Wu He returned home.

Wu He's home is quite large, the whole is made of relatively strong cedar wood, and the huge roof beams and columns, as well as the roof tile building, all realize the characteristics of ancient oriental architecture.

Wu He was obviously accustomed to the style of this house, so he came directly to the door, but just as he was about to push the door in, a figure directly appeared from a house next door and pulled him in, blocking his progress.

"Ah He, dad is talking about business inside, don't go in yet......"

Hearing this, Wu He retracted his hand and turned his head, and the person who grabbed him was a child who was about one meter four tall and about eleven or twelve years old.

This child has red lips and white teeth, but he is quite good-looking, with a bun on his head, and a pair of big watery eyes that reveal dexterity that does not belong to this age.

"Oh, Arabic, this is business again, red or white."

This child's name is Wu Yu, he is Wu He's cousin, the son of Wu He's uncle, he likes numbers, and after being taught mathematics by Wu He, he is out of control, and has been pestering Wu He to learn this aspect.

As for the title, Wu Yu likes to learn the nickname of the adult called Wu He, and he shouldn't live or die, so he basically calls each other by his nickname, and by the way, Wu Yu also has an elder brother who is one year older than him, named Wu Yan, and that guy likes to listen to stories......

Moreover, these two were named by Wu He, who was one of the few literate and able to write in the family, and his fourth uncle, who died at the age of eighteen, so as to avoid being given names such as dog leftovers and two tigers......

Nodding slightly, Wu Yu tilted his head and said:

"The person who came wore a white scarf on his head and had a sad face, it should be a white thing, and I listened to it outside the door, it should be a person from the town, and the days are not almost ......"

Wu He's family is singing, and the high-end saying is called Lingren.

However, in this poor and remote area, survival is the biggest problem, and there are not many people in Xiariba, let alone spring and snow.

Those who seem to be all kinds of material high-rise buildings in various novels, until they are in the ascending, laughing loudly and waving a bounty of a thousand taels are completely self-proclaimed bottom, but not the bottom of the bottom.

In this kind of place, the only two uses of singing are red and white.

Either sing a celebration or send an old friend.

It is precisely for this reason that Wu He's family also happens to take care of all the things that should be done in the white and red affairs, whether it is the red cloth long belt of the red affair or the champion safflower; Or the coffin of the white thing, the dark coin, the wreath paper. Wu He's family, as the only red and white business operator in the thirteen villages, basically covered the life and death of most families in the thirteen villages.

However, although there are more red services than the Afterlife Hall next door, compared to the Afterlife Hall, which has a monopoly on Liyue and can afford to provide for Zhongli, although there are a lot of people in the thirteen villages combined, Lin Lin can finally sum up, and the Sangzhong Town next door is only two or three thousand people, and the red and white ceremonies of the family can't even afford to feed and wear the whole family.

The number of two or three thousand people seems to be a lot, but this account is really not calculated like this, if you really want to count two or three thousand people, the elderly are at most two or three hundred, not to mention finding someone to sing when they die, those who can buy a coffin are considered "middle class", and there are many people in the prime of life, but the number of hands that can afford to carry a sedan chair is less than the number of hands.

Throughout the year, Wu He's family took over three red and white things, and two times were the top of the sky.

If it really comes to the time of the Great Wilderness, or if the plague is rampant and there are countless dead, where will the red thing come from, and as for the white thing, I am afraid that the violent corpse wilderness will be where the vast majority of the dead belong......

In addition, Sangzhong Town actually has its own red and white shops, and the neighboring villages are obviously more willing to find other shops to help, and Wu He's family can also cover the seven or eight nearby villages, so the work is naturally less......

And even if the villagers in the small mountain village are ruthless enough to invite Wu He's family to go out of the mountain, they can have a few dollars, and they will generally earn a hard fee after a trip, get some dry food, and barely starve to death with half a fan of pork......

Therefore, this kind of thing is actually an addition, and if you really want to spend a year, you still have to rely on Wu He's grandfather to take the team out of Sangzhong Town to look for business in several surrounding towns.

The larger cities are not the same as the small villages in the middle of nowhere, and the larger cities have basically thriving families.

In order to let the ancestors bless their family's luck in the next year, for the sake of wealth, and for the sake of the children and grandchildren, many will invite Wu He's grandfather to sing and please the ancestors and ask the ancestors to bless them.

This kind of family is generally not short of money, and it is possible to directly reward a few taels of silver for a singing.

Starting from Sangzhong Town, first go east, east to Qingfeng City, north to Wuyang County, then west to Huxiao Village for repair, and finally south to Sangzhong Town back to the village.

The loop passes through more than a dozen towns and dozens of villages.

After a circle, the expenses of the team are full, and you can also buy some food and cloth in Sangzhong Town to spend the winter.

Generally speaking, after a circle, the cycle of spring and autumn and winter repair goes back and forth, and there is no shortage of livelihoods......

Of course, this is all based on the most ideal situation, in fact, there is no work after running all the way, and even the road encounters a horse is also a very common thing, and even sometimes the road encounters unclean things are also there from time to time.

Hmm~, although most of these things are from his grandfather, Wu He has never seen them once after going out twice......

This year should be the third time that Wu He has gone out together......

"yes, it's almost time......"

Looking at Wu He, who was deep in thought, Wu Yu's delicate little nose, which was not like a boy, twitched slightly, and then looked at a large leaf wrapped in rattan in Wu He's hand.

And looking at the other party's leisurely eyes, Wu He also understood the meaning of the other side, and couldn't help but smile slightly.

"Okay, okay, let's go back first, things are indispensable to you, and it's time to eat soon, and there will be a ...... of fish soup for you."

Nodding and sending Wu Yu away, looking at the closed door, listening to the squirming discussions and faint cries coming from it, Wu He's pair of eyes as steady as a sword couldn't help but wrinkle slightly.

"Inexplicably, I always feel like something bad is happening......"

However, Wu He's appearance didn't last long, and his eyes quickly stretched, and a trace of helplessness and self-deprecation flashed in his eyes, which looked bright because of regular exercise.

"After sixteen years, I have really been assimilated by this group of people, and I still believe in these groundless whims, and the materialist education in my previous life for twenty-one years has really been returned to the teacher......"

Of course, having said that, Wu He still raised his eyes and looked around. Materialism belongs to materialism, and who said that whims and demons do not belong to materialism? Maybe it's the ecology of this world......

But this is his home after all, and after turning around suspiciously twice, Wu He also put these things behind and did his own thing......
