***************************************

It is not a good season for building houses now. Since summer began, a shower almost the next day, which made the entire construction progress very slowly, but the matter of deforestation and weeding, burning ashes and setting fires continues every day.

It is gratifying that in the four She villages living in Qipan Mountain to the north and Fenghuang Mountain to the northeast, more than 200 young and strong people came to help under the leadership of the head man. Not only did they carry hundreds of good wood that can be used as pillars and beams, but also the craftsmen from the two villages participated in the construction and got along well with each other.

Nowadays, all the parishes are discussing with each other how to entrust new settled Han caravans to Quzhou or Changshan for a good price to sell them.

Lei Qi, a man from Phoenix Mountain who first came into contact with Wu Ming, also brought four blacksmiths and a full set of iron thieves, iron materials and more than 500 kilograms of iron nails, which surprised Wu Ming, who had always thought there was no iron ore in this area.

Looking at the nine yellow cattle working hard in the fields and four calves running around the cattle, the old and young felt at ease. When the hundreds of acres of fields were finished, weeds were removed, soaked in water, and soaked them in water, so that they could catch up with the planting of late rice. In this way, there would be harvest in autumn, and everyone would be at ease as long as they had food.

The only thing that everyone can't understand is that Wu Ming gave up the suggestion of rebuilding the village on the original site, and stubbornly asked to build all the houses under the hill called Longtoubei a hundred meters west. He also demanded to retain all camphor trees of all sizes. Other trees that were taller and larger than camphor trees were cut down, and all the trees on the mountain were removed. Even if there was not enough manpower for a while, he had to take time to do it after finishing other matters.

Fortunately, after the first day, no one dared to question Wu Ming's decision. Although the workload of laying foundations and building houses on the high ground was more than twice as high as before, everyone obeyed.

What surprised everyone was that the design drawings drawn by Wu Ming with simple tools were so simple and beautiful, and the accurate dimensions were closely marked on the drawings, and the construction of each key part was written with detailed construction requirements.

Under Wu Ming's untiring command, the She craftsmen quickly survived the discomfort in the previous few days. Since then, the house construction speed has been faster and faster, and the skillful design and simple and practical planning and layout have not only stunned the knowledgeable old man and Master Lu, but also attracted the old She sect leader and the heads of the village to come to observe, resulting in hundreds of She ethnic villagers coming to watch the fun every day.

More than twenty days passed in a blink of an eye. The two old men and master Lu Zhengxian and three families were the first to live in a spacious and sturdy two-story wooden building. The wooden building five feet above the ground was simple and square, built along the mountain, scattered in an orderly manner. The surrounding camphor trees were covered with fragrant fragrances. After the old man's publicity, everyone realized that it was because the camphor trees were left that there were few mosquitoes living in this sunny high ground, which could avoid the bites of mosquitoes as much as possible and spread diseases.

There is also a refreshing and new thing. The toilets are built with stone slabs on the sides and backs of the wooden buildings of the two adjacent houses, which is very convenient and tidy. Just wait for all the houses to be built and bring the sweet and clear spring water from the back of the mountain. Every household no longer has to carry water every day.

The young and old were grateful to Wu Ming, who was knowledgeable and sincere. The cured meat sent by the She ethnic villagers and the fresh fish they had taken time to go down the river net, and the first one was delivered to Wu Ming. A few girls of thirteen or fourteen years old liked Wu Ming or were at work. They heard that Wu Ming liked to eat roasted mountain potatoes, so they dug it back on the mountain every day and baked it deliciously, and then tiptoed to the straw shed where Wu Ming lived, which made Wu Ming's mouth often dark and kept farting.

Everyone was very happy, with new gains every day and new hopes every day. Only Mr. Lan Yingliang, the old patriarch of the She ethnic group, and several leaders who have been hunting and digging medicinal materials for many years, were unhappy. They held their anxiety and waited for them, and waited patiently until the 800 acres of paddy fields were planted. The last wooden building in the new village was successfully topped off. They immediately invited Wu Ming and three leaders to visit Dazhai.

Only then did Wu Ming suddenly realize that more than two months have passed and the new calendar is already the end of July.

The old patriarch's main hall laughed loudly. Everyone drank the fine wine brewed by Lu Zhengde's wife, and their faces were red and their faces were smiling.

Lei Qi, a 38-year-old Phoenix Mountain head, was even more unrestrained. She climbed Wu Ming's shoulder and picked up a huge wine bowl, asking the two to drink together in her mouth, which caused everyone to stop making noise immediately. She stared at Lei Ming, the head man with flushed face and abnormal behavior, and even the wrinkled face of the old patriarch showed a look of astonishment.

Wu Ming didn't understand what happened. He thought that since you want to drink like this, just drink like this, anyway, both mouths are placed on the edge of the bowl and you won't touch each other. A bowl of wine is at most eight taels, and it's okay to drink it all. So he put his head on Lei Qi and finished it happily.

Before Wu Ming could breathe a sigh of relief, a roar suddenly broke out in the audience, which shocked Wu Ming almost vomited. When he looked up, all the leaders present stood up, holding the wine bowl, and came to him with a smile and congratulations.

Wu Ming immediately reacted, turned to Lei Qi who was laughing happily, bent down and picked up most of his bowl of wine, took a step back, and slowly bent down. Amid the laughter of Master Lu and others and all the She people, he raised the wine bowl high above his head and shouted respectfully: "Brother, please! It is my luck to be able to meet the eldest brother and get the attention of the eldest brother!"

Lei Qi was very happy. He took the wine bowl with both hands, drank it boldly, put down the bowl and grabbed Wu Ming, and came to the smiling patriarch to kneel down on one leg. Wu Ming, who was confused, would come over and kneel down on one leg with pleasure against Lei Qi.

The old patriarch was so happy that he couldn't stop. He stood up to tidy up his clothes, stretched out his hands and looked forward, and whispered in his mouth for more than a minute. The three leaders brought three big bowls of wine and stood there. After the old patriarch muttered, he immediately delivered the wine.

The old patriarch took a bowl, and then greeted Tiandiyao. After taking a sip, he handed the bowl to Lei Qi and Wu Ming with kindness:

"From the generation of my great-grandfather to the three generations of patriarchs of my father, I have no blessing to see the feud between our She people and Han brothers. Today I am very happy! Young man, you are a kind and diligent person, and you are a person full of knowledge. The hero of our tribe, Lei Qi, the best hunter in a hundred miles, has a good vision and is very smart. Everyone knows that over the past few months, he has been with you like a brother, so I am happy for your feud. From today on, you are a She people! If you are willing, you can find a young woman as your wife in my four She people villages."

Everyone cheered, and when Wu Ming followed Lei Qi and bowed to the old patriarch and thanked him, the heads who had been waiting for a long time rushed up, picked up the wine bowl and poured it into Lei Qi and Wu Ming's mouth. Before drinking the fourth bowl, Lei Qi tilted and fell down.

Just as Wu Ming was about to help Lei Qi up, he was pulled tightly by several men. He had to continue to imitate Lei Qi's appearance just now, open his mouth and drink it to death. When he drank the sixth bowl, Wu Ming finally fell down, drunk and was as unconscious as mud.

At around five o'clock the next morning, Wu Ming, who was carried back by four big men, finally woke up. He was dazed and found a few shadows shaking in front of him. He didn't care about anything and stumbled out of the wooden building. He lay on the railing and vomited in the dark. The sound made was as terrifying as a wounded wolf, which scared the whole village.

It was not until noon that Wu Ming, who had been poured with two bowls of sober tea, was completely awake. He held up and saw the seventeen-year-old strong She boy hiding behind Master Lu. He rubbed his eyes and squeezed out a smile and asked, "Lei Peng, where is your father?"

"My dad woke up in the morning and couldn't get out of bed, so he asked me to send me two packs of sobering medicine."

The young man wearing a sleeveless cloth jacket twisted his hands together, very restrained and shy. The protruding muscles on his arms looked very strong, and there was a two-foot-long wooden sheath hanging knife hanging around his waist.

Master Lu was very scared: "We have been guarding you all night, and we are always worried that you will be so scary! You can't drink this from now on. I'll count it roughly and pour it into your stomach no more than ten bowls of wine. It's 5 or six kilograms at least. These are all strong soy wine, tsk tsk!"

Wu Ming shook his swelling and pained head and signaled Lei Peng to come over: "Have your dad asked you to bring a message?"

Lei Peng nodded honestly: "My dad said, let me learn how to be a human being and learn how to do it from today."

Wu Ming suddenly felt a big head, sighed and raised his legs and got out of bed, then turned to Lei Peng: "What do you mean?"

Lei Peng lowered his head, tucked his hands together again, and hesitated for a moment and replied in a low voice: "I begged my dad to agree. I think Uncle Ming is very capable and knows everything. None of us She people can compare with him. My mother also said that Uncle Ming is a person with great ability and will be promising in the future with Uncle Ming."

Wu Ming looked at Master Lu helplessly. Master Lu nodded slightly while pinching his goatee. Wu Ming immediately knew what the old fox was thinking in his belly, turned to Lei Peng and asked, "How about you shooting?"

Lei Peng was stunned for a moment: "I can't compare to my dad."

Wu Ming was speechless, remembering the two intact fox furs that Lei Qi gave some time ago. He raised his legs and walked to the gun cabinet by the wall, took out the shiny 38 rifle, pulled the bolt and took a look, picked up a bullet and stuffed it in, closed the bolt and returned to Lei Peng: "You shoot me and see if I'm done, this gun will be given to you."

After a brief shock, Lei Peng's eyes were filled with joy. He immediately turned around and walked out of the door with a gun, looked around and turned around and asked immediately, "Uncle Ming, where are you hit?"

Wu Ming looked up and pointed to the top of the slope more than 80 meters ahead: "I saw that the branch extending out of the cliff is not there, just hit the branch."

Lei Peng immediately raised his gun and started aiming in an unstandard stand-up posture. After a few breaths, the gunshot sounded, and a stream of blue smoke came out of the middle of the branch as thick as an arm on the cliff. The tail end was fluttering violently for a few times. The branches finally couldn't bear the weight of the dense branches and leaves slowly cracked, and finally broke completely with a "pop".

Hearing the gunshots, everyone around him looked over, Master Lu was stunned, and after a long time he turned to Wu Ming, who was also shocked: "Talent!"

Wu Ming grinned and patted Lei Peng on the shoulder happily: "It seems that you are familiar with this kind of rifle. You must have played with your dad's new gun a lot, right?"

Lei Peng nodded embarrassedly, his voice so low that only Wu Ming could hear it: "Last month, the night when the moon was fullest, my father went home with the new gun sent by Uncle Ming. He wiped it every day and taught me how to get on and how to shoot it. He just couldn't bear to shoot me a shot. I really liked it. Before dawn, I quietly took the gun up the mountain and walked for a long time. After firing ten rows of bullets, I knew how to use it. When I came back, I fought back the yellow sheep and five golden pheasants, and I was beaten."

Wu Ming laughed loudly, and at the end he almost broke his anger: "I only gave your dad a hundred bullets, you can use most of them in half a day. No wonder he hit you. He felt distressed, haha! Hahaha..."
