"Got it, Fifth Brother," Huo Gang turned around and got on his horse and galloped away. Huo Daocai comforted the group of old women: "I am Huo Wu from Ganquan Village, if you believe me, just wait at home, I will find a way to bring the men back."

The man of Ganquan Village is a nail, and his prestige has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts, this group of villagers is like getting a life-saving straw, poof--- Lianlianpu knelt on the ground, crying: "Thank you, Fifth Master--- you are our great savior--- ".

Huo Dao couldn't stand this kind of scene, seeing this kind of puffing and kneeling, crying and wiping tears, grateful for Dade's words, he had to step forward and help him up again and again, and comforted: "Everyone get up, I will try my best to bring them back, I have already asked people to pull food, not much, but I can spend the winter first."

Lead people around Niubei Mountain and go straight into the Guanshan grassland. The heavy snow overnight, wrapped in a thick layer of silver-white, like a fairyland on earth, round peaks, ridges, wide valleys, gurgling streams, frozen into ice crystal pools sprinkled in the forest and meadows, red leaves and snow scenery intertwined, red makeup wrapped, more gorgeous and attractive.

But at this time, no one was in the mood to enjoy the magnificent and magnificent scenery, especially the beauty of the fairyland on earth, and the long road drove straight to the terraced houses at the foot of the peak.

When they arrived, thousands of horses in the horse farm roared in unison, tearing the valley, flying snow with the wind, and dispersed leisurely. Huo Gang stepped up to the racecourse first, and at this time he was facing Tang Qiang and a few people out of the row house.

Tang Qiang ushered in, held the horse rope, waited for Huo Dao to get off the horse, and shouted softly: "Fifth brother, fifth sister-in-law, go into the house coldly outside and say--."

"Good ---" Huo Dao nodded in response, and greeted an old man outside the door, his tall figure was even thinner, wearing a cotton coat, a black cloth belt, and a fur coat, which was even more bold and casual, although he was old, his eyes were like electricity, like the eyes of a falcon in Bokong, there was a god that made people awe, his lips under the high nose were a little chapped and black, and the half-length old cigarette stick was carried in his hand, and he took a few puffs from time to time. This is Tang Qiang's Ah Da, Tang Siping. He is known as Ma Siye. It is not the surname of the horse, but he loves horses and understands horses, and raising and training military horses is a technique that has been passed down from generation to generation.

Seeing Huo Dao, he saluted slightly: "The fifth young master is here, ---."

"Well--- Uncle Tang is okay," Huo Dao greeted him and helped him into the wooden hall together.

The house, made entirely of stout wood, is rough and practical, with no decoration in the house, a chimney in the middle, a charcoal fire burning in the next stove, and a hanging pot hanging above it still gurgling and mist. Outside the hearth was a thick wooden table, with several wooden dengs, and the surrounding wooden walls were covered with horse training tools and two old shotguns, and there were two bedrooms on the east and west sides.

Just sitting around the outside of the hearth, huo Dao asked directly, "Uncle Tang, do we have any extra wood here?"

"There are --- all piled up in the racecourse, strange obstacles," Tang Siping replied, pointing to a row of thatched huts not far from the house, and there was indeed a pile of rough planed wood inside.

Huo Dao patted Tao Hong and said, "You stay with me to --- the wood and let Master Luo lead the people to pull it back first---."

"No--- there are still a lot of things waiting for me in my family---" Tao Hong got up and objected, Huo Dao pressed her back to her seat, pulled Tang Qiang and went out to explain to Luo Kaishan, and then went back to the house and smiled.

Subsequently, there was a girl who came in with a kettle, tied two horses to distinguish, cotton clothes and cotton pants and a wool leather shoulder, looking very spirited, moon bud face, willow eyebrows, big eyes and pouting, moist nose and red lips, cheeks were frozen a little red, like a lily in the field, fresh and durable, but the skin was slightly darker, maybe it was created by the wind and sun on the grassland.

"Ah Da--- mare's milk wine is hot" entered the house and looked at the people around, put the pot of mare's milk wine on the table, and waited.

Tang Siping replied lightly, then pointed at Huo Dao and Huo Gang and said, "I've seen the fifth young master and the sixth young master ---."

She naturally smiled, and was a little shy, and bowed to Huo Dao and the others, and said lightly: "Fifth Young Master, Sixth Young Master is so ---."

looked at Tao Hong even more stupidly, revealing that kind of envy, and a little respectful: "Sister is so ---."

Huo Gang hurriedly corrected: "It's the fifth sister-in-law's ---."

"The fifth young grandmother is so ---" immediately changed her name.

Tao Hong was in a hurry, patted Huo Gang, and reprimanded: "Don't call --- nonsense" is the introduction: "I am the second girl of the Tao family in Taoxia Village, Tao Hong."

One word, but it attracted a few admiring eyes, Luo Siping nodded and smiled: "That's the fifth young grandmother ---."

Tao Hong couldn't refute it anymore, picked up the poured mare's milk wine, and took a sip. A warm and mellow aroma burned from the throat to the stomach, and the mouth still exuded that mellow sweetness, and the whole body exuded a wave of heat. I can't help but praise: "Mare's milk wine is so fragrant---".

After another big sip, Huo Dao immediately stopped: "This wine is strong, it will be intoxicating."

The girl poured a smile for Tao Hong and said, "It's okay, this wine is ---."

was just stared at by Huo Gang's fiery eyes, very shy, hurriedly retracted, stepped aside, and occasionally peeked at Huo Gang's eyes.

Tang Qiang entered the house, sat beside him and said, "Fifth brother, the --- is arranged."

Huo Dao nodded, and Tang Qiang immediately said to the girl behind him: "Yuzi, you can also send some mare's milk wine and pastries to the people outside to ---."

The girl nodded and said, "There is still a room to go, I'll go to ---" and went out of the house, and when she got to the door of the house, she didn't forget to turn around a little and glanced at Huo Gang and Huo Dao shyly, and ran away shyly.

Huo Gang asked impatiently: "Tang Qiang, this is your --- son-in-law."

Tang Qiang rubbed his hands in the fire and said with a smile: "Yes--- my sister-in-law, called Tang Ling ---."

Huo Gang smiled stupidly: "The name is so good--- Reluctantly, he turned his head to look at Tang Ling's back, feeling imminent.

Tang Siping sighed lightly: "The girl of the mountain wild horseman's family, what is the nice name is it, it is a name."

Huo Gang, a faceless and skinless master, who doesn't know how to be dry, cares about so many etiquettes, and looks at it, and asks, "How old is it, is the Xu family?"

Tang Qiang was a little embarrassed, especially when he was still sitting on the side, he glanced at Huo Gang and replied: "I will be nineteen after the New Year, and I haven't --- yet."

Tao Hong's eyes were sharp, and he refuted Huo Gang and said: "How can you ask like this, it seems, you have to ask the matchmaker to inquire, and you have to ask Uncle Tang's opinion, and in the end, it depends on whether the girl agrees."

However, it seems that these words were also said to Huo Dao, and he gently pushed Huo Dao with his shoulder.

Luo Siping hurriedly replied: "How dare the mountain village girl climb high ---."

"I'm sorry Uncle Tang, we were rude" Huo Daocai humbly said, and then said: "Gangzi, take your heart first, we still have big things to do."

Tang Qiang is very strange, the horse farm is well organized, there is no mistake, although this horse farm is Ganquan Village, according to the Lihuo family four percent, the Wen family three floors, the Liu family two floors, and one floor owned by the Tang family. It stands to reason that Ganquanzhai is the owner, and Tang Siping is the shopkeeper, managing the horse farm for them, but he is much better to Marco than to people, and he never dares to have any neglect. Hurriedly asked, "Fifth brother, what's the matter?"

Huo Dao didn't answer directly, but asked Tang Siping, "Uncle Tang, have you ever been to Meihugou?"

Tang Siping lost his color, showed a panicked face, looked at Huo Dao in a daze, and asked, "What do you ask for?"

Huo Dao is the general will see and hear in Niugoutun Village to say simply, Luo Sanping sighed deeply: "It's no wonder ---."

Tang Qiangcai followed his words and said: "Recently, there are often several teams of arrogant officers and soldiers coming in and out of the back mountain--- and occasionally come over to ask what ---."

It is this Guanshan grassland, a valley meadow on the Loess Plateau, the south is a continuous group of mountains, the north is the endless Loess Plateau, and the north side of the grassland is full of five peaks, known as the Five Finger Peak, towering into the clouds, the clouds and mist are shrouded all year round, the dense forest is covered, the peak is high and the slope is dangerous, no one climbs to the top, the five peaks and mountain streams are coiled with several staggered grooves and valleys, that is the rumored Meihu ditch. There is a mountain pass on the southeast, south, and west sides of the mountain, like a mountain gate.

The racecourse is being built on the gentle slope at the foot of the Five Finger Mountain, and there is a stream that stretches to the meadow to the southeast. In the Five Fingers Mountain, there are fierce beasts in the mountains from time to time, and they can only be driven away with shotguns, but at night they are the neighing of foxes, which shocks people's souls and does not dare to move around at will.

In Huo Dao's heart, Meihugou is terrible, that is just a legend, and it can't stop him from probing, but why can the strong men who can be recruited enter Meihugou?

Tang Siping closed his eyes and thought about it, suddenly opened his eyes and said: "The garrison regiment of the first division of the twelfth army ---."

Huo Dao blurted out and scolded: "It's the party again, this group of tomb robbers---."

The real name of the party is Dang Kun, and it is because of a lame when walking, so it is called the party son. He is also the commander of the first division of the 12th Army of the National Army, supporting the army and respecting himself, self-appointed commander, entrenched in Fengxiang, under the jurisdiction of several counties, as if it has become an independent kingdom of its own. In addition, Dang Kun himself is very addicted to smoking, smoking, drinking, prostituting and gambling, and has all bad habits, and his life is particularly depraved. And tomb robbing is his first capital to make money and squander the expansion of the army to strengthen his strength, which has long been known to everyone.

The garrison regiment is his non-cronies unit, Yang Yisheng is the commander, but it is he who specializes in stealing ancient tombs in the Xifu area, stealing a large number of precious cultural relics, which are already available for them to squander.

Tang Siping immediately admonished: "Since ancient times, the poor have not fought with the rich, and the people have fought with the unofficial, not to mention that the party is a demon. Fifth Young Master, you'd better not provoke them---."

Huo Dao shook his head and said, "Uncle Tang, I think it's not just Niugoutun, maybe it's the same for several surrounding villages. Hundreds of people were forcibly recruited to dig graves in Meihugou, and they don't know what to do with the hundreds of families behind them, and they will freeze to death and starve to death without labor---

Tang Siping still shook his head and complained, Huo Dao said again: "Okay, there are dead people everywhere in these years, destroying villages, and the right has nothing to do with us, but most of the farmers and strong men in these villages are tenants and workers in Ganquan Village--- the land is not cultivated, and it will be abandoned in the coming year, and then thousands of people in Ganquan Village will also be starved to death, isn't it ---."

Tang Siping sighed deeply, his face was deep, he only shook his head and sighed, and said after a long time: "That's right, but who dares to fight with the party, don't say that we are either horsemen and pawns, or croppers, just talk about the courage of the township regiment and the people of Ganquan Village, fighting with the party army is also a way to kill ourselves."
