After staring at it for a long time, the young man withdrew his gaze and continued to walk, this section of the road was not long, and through the muddy path in the middle, it went straight to the old man's house.

The courtyard of the silt village is built in an undisciplined manner, and whoever can grab the land is who's own, and the land is zoned for his own use.

Therefore, there is no road in the mud village, but there are roads everywhere, as long as there is a gap to cross, it is a road, and it is muddy everywhere you go.

Coming to the courtyard of the old man Sun, Zhong Ming glanced to the side, and the next to the Sun family was the carpenter Li's house.

There was only one woman cooking in the courtyard, although this woman was dressed in a coarse linen shirt, she still couldn't cover her beautiful face, this woman was the most beautiful woman Zhong Ming had ever seen in this era.

Knowing that the woman was a wife, the young man always couldn't help but look at it twice, maybe because he was getting older, and there was some impulse in his body.

The woman probably felt Zhong Ming's gaze, looked up and saw Zhong Ming, showed a gentle smile, and said in a glutinous voice: "Thank you for the rice grain sent by Mr. two days ago." ”

Everyone in the village knows that Liang Yu is looking forward to Mr. Zhong's horse, and Liang Yu's actions are also understood by everyone as Mr. Zhong's signal, and fifty percent of the good deeds that Liang Heizi did in the past should be recorded on Mr. Zhong's head.

Nodding slightly, the young man also smiled and said, "Between the neighbors, a little help should be, and the lady of the Li family doesn't have to thank me." ”

The beautiful lady of the Li family went to busy breakfast after showing Zhong Ming's smile again, and the young man turned his eyes and stopped looking, other people's ladies will inevitably be criticized by the neighbors after seeing too much.

It's just that Zhong Ming has always had some doubts in his heart, such a good-looking, well-cultivated little lady should not have appeared in such a rotten place as Mud Village, and Carpenter Li is also very weird, never calling himself Mr. Zhong, but calling himself Mr. Zhong, with an arrogant tone.

Remembering that his family fled here half a year ago, Zhong Ming also guessed that his family may have been a rich family before, and his vision was always higher.

Just because the courtyard of Carpenter Li's house has never smelled, but has a faint sandalwood fragrance, Zhong Ming has no ill feelings towards his family.

After all, everyone is a person who struggled in the chaotic war, and it is inevitable that there are some secrets, Zhong Ming does not get to the bottom of it, as long as it is harmless to the silt village, everyone is happy to borrow a corner of his village to live.

is the same as the end of the world, why should we know each other when we meet.

Besides, Li carpenter's craftsmanship is still good, from the beams of the mud house to the low table and wooden bench, he is skillful, and he has contributed a lot to the village these days.

Glancing at the Hu Orion family next to it, the courtyard is also quite clean, the same is true of Xiaoyu's family, and these families in the east of the village are very clean, thanks to the good atmosphere brought by Carpenter Li's family.

Zhong Ming favored the people at both ends of the village, and at the west end of the village was Mr. Guo, who had walked out of this muddy pond, spread his wings and become a city person.

The families in the east of the village are clean and neat, and they are not bad compared with the courtyards in the city.

"Brother Zhong, you're here. ”

The call of Qiao Shengsheng interrupted the young man's thoughts, he returned to his senses with a smile, touched the top of the head of the little girl in front of him, and said with a smile: "Xiaolian has grown taller again, and in a blink of an eye, she will become a big girl." ”

The girl in front of her is called Sun Luolian, and her name is given by Zhong Ming, which is taken from the meaning of Qinglian coming out of the mud without staining.

It is not easy for the silt village of the rotten Hengsheng to have a girl like Sun Luolian who is so quiet and quiet, her original name of Ah Hua and Ah Cao is really not worthy of this girl, only the word Luo Lian makes it.

Speaking of which, Sun Luolian is not Old Man Sun's own granddaughter, but an adopted daughter picked up in the refugee pile.

Old man Sun is a native of Mud Village, the old man has lived for more than fifty years, and he is already the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, he often says that he came to this world to suffer, and he lives a long time, purely because God punished him for suffering.

Originally, Old Man Sun had a son under his knees, but at the beginning of the war in the early years, his son who had just reached the crown and had not yet married his wife was conscripted to fight on the battlefield.

At first, the New Tang Dynasty was not established, and Old Man Sun still had some thoughts in his heart, but after the founding of the New Tang Dynasty, his son was unable to return to his hometown at the end of the year, and others speculated that most of them were the result of dying on the battlefield, and Old Man Sun also died.

The young man heard Xiaolian say that on the night of the New Year's Pass, Old Man Sun specially instructed her to go to the city in the afternoon to buy a bottle of rice wine, pour herself to the ground, cry while drinking, drink a plate and pour a plate, inferior rice wine into the stomach half of the altar poured out half of the altar, in the second half of the night he hugged the wine jar and shouted "Dragon and Tiger" for half a night.

Sun Longhu is his son's name, and Old Man Sun was complacent in his early years, and he disdained to use the names of Dog and Niu.

The people in the village said that the name was ugly, and God would not take the child as a child, so that he could support him.

Old man Sun is no, he said that his son will be a person who will have a great career in the future, and when he named the child, he held it in the house for three days and three nights before he felt that the word dragon and tiger were good.

The dragon is spreading clouds and rain, and the tiger is out of the roaring mountains and forests, which sounds promising.

Later, Old Man Sun often said that he should not give his child such a catchy name, and maybe Sun Longhu would not be conscripted by the garrison.

After Sun Longhu was conscripted, Old Man Sun always had no idea in his heart, and the adoption of Sun Luolian also had something to do with it.

A few years ago, Xiaolian's mother and daughter wandered here, and Xiaolian knocked on the bowl and knelt down at the door and shouted: "Kind grandpa will give you food." ”

Old man Sun saw that Xiaolian's child was pitiful, so he often helped their mother and son, and it didn't take long for Xiaolian's mother to die of illness before Old Man Sun adopted Xiaolian.

At that time, Old Man Sun couldn't eat enough, how kind he was to be able to adopt Xiaolian, he tossed and turned at night, ruthless and ruthless, and ran to the refugee pile to take Xiaolian home before dawn.

In the past, Old Man Sun's great kindness had the beautiful Lotus Girl now, and it was for this reason that Zhong Ming would assign the post of village chief to Old Man Sun with peace of mind.

While speaking, Zhong Ming opened the railing and walked into Old Man Sun's house, Sun Luolian followed behind Zhong Ming, twisting the corners of her clothes and tangling for a long time, before she blushed and said timidly: "Brother Zhong, don't always touch Xiaolian's head in the future, Xiaolian is already a big girl." ”

There was a smile on the corner of Zhong Ming's mouth, Xiaolian is a girl he has looked up to since he was a child, how old can she be?

So the young man laughed and said, "How old can you be, and how old can you be older than Brother Zhong?"

The girl with a crimson face was even more shy, and hurriedly explained: "Naturally, it is not as old as Brother Zhong, but Xiaolian is already in the prime of her life......

As soon as these words came out, the young man was stunned for a moment, and then secretly exclaimed.

When I first came here, Xiaolian was just a yellow-haired girl of twelve or thirteen, dry and thin like a bamboo pole, and in a blink of an eye she was already sixteen years old, and her body was getting fuller and fuller, more and more lovely, and it turned out that she had reached the age of jasper.

The word Jasper Nianhua was heard by Xiaolian from Mr. Guo, saying that a woman's sixteenth is the Jasper Nian, also known as the year of broken melons, which means that she has reached the age of marriage and can be married.

Thinking of the words "Broken Melon", "Marriage", "Marriage", Xiaolian's cheeks were even redder, as hot as fire, I was afraid that Brother Zhong would hear the meaning, it was not to be ashamed.

In the blink of an eye, the girl hoped that the young man would understand the meaning, so that she could understand that she had reached the age of marriage and could come to the door to propose.

The young man is knowledgeable in his belly, and his mind is different from ordinary people, but he will not use such trivial matters, he was stunned just now and just sighed at the speed of time.

Touching the top of Xiaolian's head, Zhong Ming coped: "Okay, I know that Xiaolian is a big girl, if you don't touch your head in the future, are you afraid that you won't grow tall?"

Seeing the inconsistency between the young man's words and deeds, he knew that he did not take the matter to heart.

Seeing that he didn't hear the meaning of his words, the girl secretly felt sad, pouted and muttered: "Stupid wood, it's not as good as Mr. Guo, who tells stories." ”

After speaking, the girl felt inappropriate, bah, bah, how could she say that Brother Zhong was inferior to the storyteller who was full of meaty words, this was really disrespectful to Brother Zhong.

How could Mr. Zhong, who was admired by everyone in the mud village, not be as good as Mr. Storyteller, and he was afraid that he would be scolded to death when he was heard.

The girl behind her, Huaichun Zhongming, didn't feel it at all, but walked to the door of the mud room by herself, and shouted loudly: "Uncle Sun, I'll get the roster." ”

Hearing the shout of Zhong Ming, out of the mud room came a thin old man in sackcloth, with white temples and neat legs and feet, holding up the papyrus book in his hand and responding: "Come, the old man has been waiting for a morning, just wait for Xiao Zhong to come and get this booklet." ”

Taking the roster from Old Man Sun's hand, the young man said, "Uncle Sun, then I'll go to the town to discuss matters, I'm afraid that if I go late, I will miss a big matter." ”

Old man Sun patted the young man on the shoulder and urged, "Hurry up, don't miss the business." ”

When the young man walked out of the courtyard, Old Man Sun patted his forehead and remembered, and shouted to the young man's back: "Xiao Zhong, when you get to the mansion, use more knowledge and get more fertile land for our village." ”

Hearing this, the young man looked back and smiled, and responded: "Understand, Uncle Sun, don't worry!"

The young man greeted the rising sun, and the morning light embedded his figure in the gold edge, shining brightly, as noble as a god.

The girl in the courtyard suddenly became stupid, how could such a delicate and intelligent Brother Zhong be born in a muddy village, and he could still happen to meet him?

It must be that if the storyteller Mr. Guo said, it must be the reincarnation of lovesickness in the tenth life, in exchange for a smile in this life.

Standing beside the girl, Old Man Sun stared at his granddaughter's demented appearance, shook his head and sighed, and muttered to himself: "If the girl is not stayed, my little lotus will be taken away by that bastard boy." ”

In a blink of an eye, Old Man Sun recalled the past, when he was crowned, why didn't he stop by the river for a long time, obsessed with the girl who picked flowers?

This person will want to fall in love when he is old.

It's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, and I can't stop it.

Unless it's an unusual person, like the sackcloth boy who has walked out of the mud village.

Zhong Ming seems to be only seventeen or eighteen, but in fact, he has nearly thirty years of experience, and he has long passed the age of the beginning of love.

This young man had few thoughts of love in his heart, and his mind was now full of crooked ideas on how to divide more grain in the fields.

Thinking to himself, the young man had already walked under the walls of the border town, and he woke up like a big dream, and looked up at the broken wall.

He had seen the bell of the city wall, which had been eroded by time and war, countless times, but every time he saw it, he always felt a lot of emotion in his heart, from the initial shock, to the later regret, and then to the current disgust, each time he had a different feeling.

It was a city wall that had collapsed half of the wall, at first if it was more than two zhang high, stacked four big men could not climb the edge of the city, but after more than ten years of war, it did not know when it collapsed most of the half, leaving only less than one zhang high.

The hard bluestone foundation and the city wall made of clay rammed earth will not be able to withstand the war, and no matter how strong the city wall is, it will be burned down by the beacon fire for many years.

It is such a broken wall wall that completely divides this border town, outside the broken wall is the rotten refugees who eat in the loess, and inside the broken wall are the noble city residents, and the New Tang Dynasty Fa enjoys the protection of the New Tang Dynasty Constitution as a city citizen.

The most unbelievable thing is that if there is a conflict between the displaced people outside the city and the civilians inside the city, the arresting officials will not ask, and will directly arrest the displaced people and put them in prison, or even kill them on the spot.

This is the royal law of the New Tang Dynasty, the city people are the people of the New Tang Dynasty, and the displaced people are not as good as the dogs of the people in the city.

Fortunately, after today, Zhong Ming can earn a field for the people in the mud village, then everyone will be the paupers of the New Tang Dynasty, and they will also be the people who are recorded under the protection of the royal law, and finally they are no longer ghosts and ghosts.

Standing at the city gate, the morning sun stretches the shadow of the city wall, the outside of the city is dim, and the inside of the city is bright.

The young man looked behind him, and then looked into the city for a long time, but he could not take that step for a long time.

One step of Asgard, one step of hell.

This inconspicuous broken wall restricts the fate of many poor people.

The pause was not because the young people were afraid of the new Tang Dynasty law, but because they prayed for those poor people.

I hope they will all be as lucky as the people of Mud Village, and there is a person named Wang Ming, Zhang Ming or Li Si who can take them out of the sea of misery.
