The next morning, the Beichen star was still twinkling, and green smoke was already rising from the top of Yang Sanlang's hut. However, Lu Qiuniang and two women were preparing morning meals. Yang Sanlang had been driven from the outside to the inside, and was sitting on the earthen kang.
External snoring.
Inside the earthen kang are Guan Huer and two other babies, sleeping in a row, with six little feet kicking on Yang Sanlang, but not disturbing Yang Sanlang's erotic dream at all: Lu Qiuniang, dressed in red makeup, sitting quietly in front of the kang, with her hair in a bun
Wearing a flower crown and covered by red gauze, one can vaguely see her shy and beautiful face... Yang Sanlang couldn't help shouting: "Qiuniang..."
Outside, Lu Qiuniang was stirring the pot with a gourd and gourd. When she heard Yang Sanlang calling her, she naturally responded with "Hmm...". One of the two women was holding the lid of the pot, and the other was lighting the fire, but they both listened.
Hearing the flavor in Yang Sanlang's voice, he couldn't help but smile.
Lu Qiuniang suddenly understood. She felt embarrassed and rushed into the room, but she punched Yang Sanlang on the forehead: "Hit you, you frivolous kid..." Yang Sanlang woke up from the pain. Recalling his dream, he
Seeing the person in front of her, she knew she was speechless and quickly begged for mercy. Qiuniang said "Huh!" and turned around to continue cooking. The two women even laughed together.
After a while, Lu Qiuniang shouted: "Brother Sanlang! Why don't you go ask everyone for a bowl?" Yang Sanlang got the order arrow and ran out of the door. Lu Qiuniang turned her face and complained angrily: "Sisters-in-law are still laughing!"
The woman just waved her hands and smiled even more.
Here Yang Sanlang has broken open the ice by the stream and formed a half circle with gravel. The stream water flowing under the ice quickly gathered into a puddle and turned from muddy to clear. Yang Zhaoxi called the door one by one and took the broken hands of the refugees.
The bowls and chopsticks were put away. Most of the refugees woke up from the smell of rice in the morning and were all hungry. Yang Sanlang shouted to a few more women, took out all the bowls and chopsticks in the hut, and put them by the stream.
Wash them clean and take them to the wooden table in their hut together.
Lu Qiuniang cooperated with the two women and poured out bowls of meat porridge from the pot. Yang Sanlang, Guan Dashi and Niu Chong, distributed the meat porridge to the waiting refugees in three circles outside the hut.
The refugee did not have bowls and chopsticks, so he took the bowls and chopsticks that others had finished eating, walked up to him and asked Lu Qiuniang to fill up the porridge before eating.
Looking at the scene of a group of people gobbling up food, Guan Dashi thought of the miserable situation in Yangliuzhuang again, and felt sad in his heart. Watching the refugees finish the meat porridge in the pot and bowl, they lifted it up one after another, each one of them still expressing their thoughts.
Guan Dashi shouted: "Dear villagers! Since the two of us have been entrusted by Gongsun Zhenren, we will do our best to protect everyone. Although it is difficult in the mountains, we can't starve to death if we rely on the mountains to eat. Now we need to settle down.
To stay here, we need to work together to build a few more huts and bring back more mountain goods for a long-term plan."
Seeing that the refugees had listened, Guan Dashi said again: "Brothers and uncles who know construction skills, come back with me to cut down some trees in the nearby mountains. Women who have some strength can follow my brother Niu Chong to collect more thatch nearby."
The inconvenient old man and woman were left to take care of the children. The other brothers went to the back mountains with me, Brother Sanlang, to hunt and chop firewood. As long as they could eat, they brought back more! Otherwise, everyone would be hungry at night.
!" Everyone laughed loudly, then dispersed and started taking action.
Although the tools were in short supply and they were not handy, fortunately there were many people and they were wise. After a busy day, they prepared the thatch and wood needed to build the hut. When the sun set, Yang Sanlang also came back with a few refugees, and what he got
It was also quite plentiful, with about a dozen pheasants and mountain hares hanging on several people, and two of them actually carried a wild boar!
That night, a bonfire was lit on a flat ground by the stream, and the whole washed and skinned wild boar was set up and grilled. The aroma of the meat filled the valley. Everyone shared the meal and fell asleep happily.
.
The next day, the refugees were still divided into three groups. They selected sites upstream and downstream of the huts of Guan Dashi, Yang Sanlang and others, and moved some stones, soil and the like nearby for construction use. Stones are easy to accumulate, and two people per person
The group was ready in a short time, but the soil was too loose to transport with bare hands. A few refugees found a willow tree, cut off the willow branches of moderate thickness with a hatchet, and woven the willow tree between two thick sticks.
Even in a row, only two people can be transported, so the efficiency is greatly increased.
On the twelfth day of the first lunar month, the refugees were reassigned and divided into five teams to begin construction of the huts. From digging the foundation, laying stone walls, making adobes, erecting timber, putting up thatch, tying fences, earthen kangs and stoves
etc., all have specialized teams to complete them. The processes are connected and interlocked, and the efficiency is extremely high. The entire valley is immersed in the vigorous civil engineering construction industry.
By the afternoon of the third day, eight huts of different sizes had risen from the ground, scattered near or far away from the stream. Together with the huts of Guan Dashi and Yang Sanlang, it could be regarded as a place that was beginning to take shape.
Village.
Everyone worked hard for four or five days. At this time, they all gathered in the valley schoolyard to bask in the sun, chatting with each other about the past and future livelihood plans. Some people who were not familiar with each other also exchanged names and chatted about other things.
Topic. In the blink of an eye, every time they see their brand-new huts, endless hope arises in their hearts.
Guan Dashi looked around and saw that Yang Sanlang and Lu Qiuniang were discussing something at the side, but Niu Chong was not there. He searched carefully among the crowd and found that Niu Chong was crowded next to a girl.
They were chatting together. The girl was quite pretty, but I didn’t know whose daughter she was.
Guan Dashi didn't call him, and was thinking about the plan for today. After thinking for a while, he said: "Villages, we have worked hard these days! With these huts, we can be considered as 'camping' here.
But to live a peaceful life, some brave people must stand up and form a team to train. If the thieves come, they can resist them. If they can't resist them, they can retreat, but they will just find another valley to stay.
.I wonder what the villagers think?"
After working together for a few days, the villagers became more familiar with each other, and they did not have too many worries when talking. A man stood up and said: "I think it makes sense! I will be the first to join!" Everyone laughed.
Guan Dashi also laughed for a while: "Brother, we are a regiment training, not bandits and bandits. There is no need to 'join the gang', and I can't accept your 'letter of surrender'!"
The man also laughed for a while, and announced his family name: "My name is Hu Liu, and today I only recognize Brother Dashi! I can do anything with knives, mountains, and oil pans!" After saying that, he prostrated on the spot. At this time, the crowd again
Seven or eight men came out, some still childish, some older, and they all bowed down.
Guan Dashi hurriedly stepped forward to help him up: "Thank you for your respect for me Guan Dashi! Starting from tomorrow, from early morning to evening, we will practice at the valley school ground. I will ask you to be your 'group training envoy' for the time being.
, in the future, if there is a person who is highly skilled in martial arts, I will 'abdicate my position and make way for someone more capable'. Brothers, is this okay?"
Yang Sanlang and Niu Chong had already stood in the group training team and took the lead in shouting: "Here -!"
Guan Dashi felt a little relieved when he saw that the matter was settled, and said: "There is something else that needs to be announced to the villagers. Tomorrow is the Shangyuan Festival. I have asked the Taoist priest of Shangqingguan to make an estimate. It is a
It is an auspicious day on the zodiac. It is on this day that my brother Sanlang and my sister Qiuniang will get married. Please help me, sisters-in-law, to make arrangements so that I, the brother Sanlang, will not be miserable. Other brothers and uncles can come over to support us!"
After saying this, everyone cheered loudly, and only Yang Sanlang and Lu Qiuniang were left standing in the field, feeling both ashamed and happy, neither could they leave, nor could they not leave.
At this time, an old man stood up and said with a smile: "Congratulations, little old man!" Guan Dashi looked over and saw that it was the old man who spoke in the temple that day. The old man turned his face again and looked at Guan Dashi.
"Guan Yishi! My surname is Wang and my name is Tongru. You took me and other villagers to take refuge here to avoid further military disasters. It is really a rebirth of kindness. I also know that 'a great kindness cannot be thanked'. Here
I have a dispute, and I hope all the fellow villagers will agree on it -" Everyone followed the voice and stopped making noise, waiting for the old man to speak.
