"Er Niu, I decided not to make clothes. I will take this piece of silk to the city and sell it. Then I will buy a small house and do some small business. I will find a wife for you and let our old Liang family prosper again. ," Huzi said excitedly after looking at the silk fabric.

Liang Yong nodded obediently and said nothing. In fact, his thoughts were similar to Huzi's, except that the person he wished for was different. Huzi thought about marrying him a wife, while he thought about making arrangements for Huzi. Family business, this kind of thinking is not that he is free and easy, but comes from the brotherly love in his heart. They both feel that as long as the other person lives well, he will be satisfied.

"Let's go. I remember walking eastward along this mountain road. You can reach the big city in half a month." Seeing that Liang Yong was silent, Huzi thought that Liang Yong had agreed with his idea, so he pointed in front of him happily. The mountain path said.

"Let's go, Brother Huzi," Liang Yong nodded and walked up the mountain road first.

After a day of stopping and going like this, they had already left the battlefield dozens of miles away. They had long since stopped hearing the shouts and curses of the red-nosed troops, but the road ahead was becoming more and more dangerous. They walked deep into the mountains. It is a shortcut to the big city. Climbing this mountain can save half a month of travel. Otherwise, it would take at least a month to go to the big city by taking a detour outside the mountain.

Liang Yong and the others were strong and capable of some kung fu, and were not afraid of wild beasts and raptors, so it was more suitable to take this route. At the same time, because this place was located deep in the mountains and inaccessible, there were more wild beasts and edible plants, so they hunted them all in one day. They bought three hares, two pheasants, and four or five pounds of sweet berries, enough for them to eat for several days.

On the contrary, they gained more than when they were outside the mountains. So Xiaoxing stayed overnight and walked in the mountains for three days. Not only did they have no worries about eating and drinking, they also stored a lot of dry food in case they left the mountains. From the appearance, they were already typical hunters. , covered with animal skins, holding a wooden stick as thick as an arm in their hands, and carrying large and small animal skin bags on their shoulders, which contained their harvest in the past few days.

At noon, they came to a small river and were about to stop and have a rest and make a fire to roast the meat. The tiger suddenly shouted: "Er Niu, look at the road. We have already walked out of the mountain. We will be there in a few days." Reaching the big city is faster than we thought,"

"Oh, great, let's quickly make a fire and barbecue, and we'll go on our way as soon as we're full," said Liang Yong, who was also very excited.

The two of them were busy and lit a fire to barbecue by the river. After a while, the aroma of the barbecue filled the air, attracting the salivation of many small animals. For this situation, Liang Yong and the two did not care. After lighting fires in the mountains for many days, they They have become accustomed to this kind of scene being watched by small animals, and when they are happy, they will even throw some minced meat to them.

But what they didn't notice was that one of the special animals among the small animals they were watching today turned out to be a snow-white spirit fox. The spirit fox was very small, only half the size of an adult domestic cat. It was mixed among the small animals. No wonder Liang used them to Didn't pay attention.

The little fox looked at Liang Yong with clear and translucent eyes. After looking at it for a while, his eyes rolled around for a while, and he seemed to have an idea and disappeared into the woods.

Liang Yong and the two left the river in high spirits after eating and drinking. They walked through a jungle and were about to board the post road to the big city. Suddenly, an old woman with gray hair and beard appeared from behind the tree. She was holding a black vine crutch, her face His wrinkles were one after another like the bark of a century-old tree, but he had a kind face and walked very steadily. In a few steps, he came to Liang Yong and the two of them. He pointed his crutch at the two of them and said, "Young man, my mother-in-law has something to do." I want to discuss it with you, but I don’t know if it’s possible,”

Liang Yong and Huzi looked at each other, with doubtful and harmless expressions in their eyes. Huzi pouted at Liang Yong, signaling Liang Yong to greet the old lady. Although they were as close as brothers in private, Huzi in front of others However, Zi paid great attention to the distinction between master and servant. When dealing with people, Liang Yong was the main one, and he just waited on him like a servant.

"Grandma, please tell me. If we can help you, we will definitely help," Liang Yong stepped forward and saluted the grandmother with clasped fists, and replied politely. He, a second-tier cow, comes from a wealthy family. He has been well-educated since he was a child, and he is very familiar with all kinds of red tape and etiquette. Liang Yong is more familiar with it.

"I am the housekeeper of Gao Laozhuang nearby. I happened to pass by here today when I was running errands. I have been observing the two young men for a long time. I can see that you are both brave, powerful and well-educated good young people. You must have been affected by the troubled times and wandered here. , I suddenly have a love for talents in my heart, and I would like to invite you to Gao Laozhuang as a guest," the old lady said with a smile.

"Gaolaozhuang," Liang Yong sighed in surprise. He had heard of Gaolaozhuang before in the army and knew that it was a wealthy place. It would be a good thing to get advice from Gaolaozhuang's housekeeper, mother-in-law. But for Liang It is said that this invitation came a few days late. If there had been an invitation from the housekeeper's mother-in-law on the day they just ran out of the bearded team, he would definitely have agreed without hesitation and went to Gao Laozhuang.

But now they have crossed the mountain, and Gaolaozhuang is on the back of the mountain. If they want to go back, they have to enter the mountain again. It will take several days to reach Gaolaozhuang. , he and Huzi had firmly decided to go to the big city to make a living.

It is a smooth journey from here to the big city and can be reached in a few days. Compared with the life in the big city that is about to begin, Gaolaozhuang is much less attractive.

Besides, when they go to Gaolaozhuang, with their status, they can only be a villager at most. The best future is just to work as a villager captain. They still can't escape their identity. Compared with going by themselves. With the development of big cities, although the money they exchanged for silk could only allow them to settle down in the big cities and do some small business, they didn't have much future.

But as the saying goes, "I'd rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail." No matter how small your business is, you are still a boss, and you are still better than the current people.

So Liang Yong was just slightly shocked and shook his head firmly and said: "I'm sorry, grandma, we are in a hurry to go to the city to do things. We don't have time to visit Gao Laozhuang for the time being. I will definitely visit her when I have time in the future." He politely declined her invitation. .
