My live broadcast room communicates ancient and modern

Chapter 74 Zhuangzi said, life comes from death
On the second day when the city tower opened, the man borrowed from the folk house opened the door of the firewood room and reminded the brothers of the Xu family that they could leave.

The three brothers poked their heads out from the pile of firewood and said, "Thank you brother."

But the rain was still heavy, and it was moderate to heavy rain. The three brothers could only go to the grocery store to buy a tarpaulin, and then went to the street to buy twelve freshly baked steamed cakes.

The three brothers took out wooden bowls and begged for three bowls of hot water from the store, and each of them ate a pancake first.

When eating pancakes, the second child signaled the two younger brothers to follow him to eat at the door instead of standing in the house.

Didn't you see that the people who came to buy steamed buns disliked the smell on them?

The store is kind enough to provide hot water, so they don't affect people's business.

And the remaining pancakes were kept in Xu Youyin's arms, planning to save them for the journey.

Xu Youyin still carried three empty wooden bowls and three empty gourds around his neck.

Xu's third child is still carrying Qiuli, and his second child is carrying his elder brother's luggage roll.

The store owner heard the three young men discussing how to go without a car. While fiddling with the steamer, he poked his head to see the rain outside.

I thought: Unless you want to make money and want to go crazy, you will only have a car in this kind of weather, it is impossible to have a car.

I heard that there was only one car going to another town at the city tower yesterday, and the driver was originally from another town, so he was going to go home so he could earn a few copper coins by the way.

The shop owner also heard Xu Laoer's saying that squatting outside to eat will not affect her pancake sales, and suddenly waved and shouted: "Young man, yes, I am calling you three, don't go away. I see that you have free gourds. There is hot water here. Fill it up before you go, save it for drinking on the way.”

Speaking of Xu's second and fourth children, they haven't met any good people this time when they went out, and the third child has a warehouse, which is not bad, and has never been beaten or scolded when working.

So the aunt said something abruptly, which moved the brothers enough: "Thank you, aunt, thank you."

After filling the gourd with water, the three brothers came to the city tower and only glanced at it. There was indeed no cart. They didn't think about waiting any longer, and handed the road guide to the city guard Kaka without hesitation.

Once this stamp is stamped, their guides will no longer be able to return to the county seat, they can only move forward.

The three brothers walked among the mountains.

Just look at the three brothers walking side by side, with the same oilcloth on their heads, sandwiching the third child who is carrying pears, and the second and fourth child are pulling the oilcloth on both sides.

Along the way, there was not even a ghost.

And this walk lasted roughly five hours (11 hours), with only three short rests in the middle.

The so-called resting means sitting on the roadside with a straw mat. Xu Lao San changed from carrying sacks to hugging in his arms for a while.

But here comes the problem, they walked in a dark place, at least a day's walk from the nearest village, where did they sleep at night.

Otherwise, the setting of ancient villages is also inhumane.

This old fourth is complaining: You should spread out, no, either there is no one in one village, or they are contiguous and next to each other.

The three brothers decided to go further into the mountain, and find a cave while they can still see the road a little bit.

The three brothers were not blindly looking for a place to enter the mountain. They chose to go up the mountain from a shady slope, and wanted to see if there was any wild ginger as they walked along the way.

How to find wild ginger, and where to grow it, was told by elder brother Xu Youtian to his younger brothers.

Not to mention, according to the method taught by the eldest brother, they really found the wild ginger, and after a while they cooked hot soup and drank it to keep them warm.

And I was quite lucky, I walked into the mountain and found a small cave.

Although it is small, it can only accommodate a small fire and three people can only sit side by side, but that is also very good.

Xu Youcang put the bag and luggage on the straw mat and went outside to break off some branches that were as dry as possible.

When going out, you are not allowed to bring knives, not even small knives, when you go out of the city gate. For example, if you buy a new kitchen knife at home, you must have a certificate of authenticity before you can buy it. If any swords and other objects were found, they would be arrested immediately, so Xu Youcang had to break them with bare hands.

Fortunately, except for knives, fire pockets and medicines are allowed.

At this time, Xu Laoer took out a kind of medicinal powder and sprinkled it around the hole. This medicinal powder was exactly the plant whose name Mrs. Xu and the family members in the live broadcast room could not explain.

That plant was the anti-snake medicinal powder for the live broadcast on the mountain. Why did such a big poisonous snake get scared back when the medicinal powder was burning, so that Xu Tianxin could hit the vital point with the shoe awl?That's why it's so potent.

It is called hellebore, and it is one of the three most poisonous plants in the area. It is said that cattle and sheep cannot walk five steps after eating it, and beasts and poisonous snakes will walk around it when they see it.

And this cold knowledge was still taught to his younger brothers by Xu Youtian, a young man in the prime of his career from ten miles and eight villages back then.

The fourth child, Xu Youyin, was smashing wild ginger juice with a stone and sprinkled it in an empty bowl, and the third child, Youcang, also brought back tree branches to light the fire.

After a while, three pancakes were placed on the firewood, and wet clothes and sandals were baked around the fire.
And the three brothers of the Xu family took advantage of the fact that there was no one on the mountain to take off their clothes, and found a place that was not covered by big trees and was watered by the rain, allowing the rain to wash their bodies.

From time to time, I can hear the three brothers talking and joking.

Because the second child found a plant called Arrow Ruo while taking a bath, what is it?Zongye.

Zongziye is not afraid of being watered by the rain. He plans to weave two Zongye hats for himself and the fourth child to wear while resting tonight, so that he will not have to go to such trouble to hide from the rain with the third child around the oilcloth, and the third child will wrap himself in the oilcloth. A good autumn pear will do.

"Second brother and third brother, these two fish are still alive."

That can't be eaten either.

That night the three brothers sat shoulder to shoulder in the cave with bare buttocks, sipping wild ginger water and baking pancakes, watching the fish for dinner.

On the second day, I went early again and didn't see the village until the evening. I spent fifteen copper coins to buy some dry food for the night, but I dared not sleep.The family seems to be afraid that they will steal things, so they always observe them furtively.

In fact, they are also afraid that this clan village will murder them, and they have more than ten taels of silver on them.

Early in the morning of the third day, the day cleared up a bit, and the sun was not warm in the sun, and finally I could feel a ray of sunshine.

"Hey? Old man, are you going to Helan Town?" Xu Youyin, the fourth child, jumped up and waved to the driver.

The three brothers did some calculations, and suddenly figured out that if they met a cart, they still had to take a ride, or else it didn't seem like a good deal to spend the night at a fellow villager's house, buy dry food, and borrow five copper coins for the lodging fee.If you delay one more day and spend a lot of copper coins, you will suffer.

The drivers were three people, an old man, a young man, and a young woman.

The woman in the car suddenly vomited when Xu Youcang walked over.

The old man immediately flicked his whip and said: "Don't pull your feet, don't pull your feet, I'm sorry, my daughter-in-law here is pregnant and can't smell your body."

Xu Youcang sniffed at his armpits: still smell after taking a shower?

He was only carrying logs, and hadn't gone down the Douqu yet.

If the second elder brother and younger brother come here, they will have to be fumigated, forget it.

The second child on the other side grabbed the fourth child and hurriedly stood away: "It should be our brothers, sorry for making your daughter-in-law vomit, old man, you can go."

After the mule cart left, the three brothers looked at each other, and I looked at you, alas, let's continue on foot.

I thought that if I was too dark today, I would be able to see the tower of my own town in the middle of the night, but I didn't want to see four figures with butcher knives jumping out from the roadside mountain in the evening.

The four of them stood in front of the three brothers of the Xu family, held their knives and said, "Brothers, please borrow some money."

Xu Laoer: "...We don't know each other either? Why did you borrow money?"

"Then I'll say it again, this road is driven by me, do you understand?"

The fourth brother looked at the second brother and said, "He wants to buy the road money."

The leader suddenly shouted: "Ms. Shaote, let me pretend to be an idiot, and then whine and yell to cut your brains and fart!"

Then the other three pointed their knives at the necks of Xu's brothers, and they all stretched out their feet and kicked at the hollows of their legs: "Where's the money? Money!"

Xu Lao Er knelt on the ground and could only let others search for the bag hanging around his neck.

His three taels of wages and the one tael or four money his mother brought were all turned over.

The fourth child thought to himself:

He also said this morning that the second brother should not put the money in the purse.

But the second brother said that it is safest to put it there and look it up at any time.

He thought so, and didn't even persuade him as there wasn't even a ghost on the way.But I didn't expect to encounter evil spirits when I walked for a few hours into the town.

And Xu Laosan was pinned with a knife, and the other two quickly searched his waist, and found out six taels of silver wages.

The fourth child closed his eyes and thought:

What did his third brother say this morning, money must be put in the waist, the waist is strong, full of confidence, and the appearance of patting the waist makes him smile so brilliantly.

It's over this time.

The fourth child was puzzled, since knives were not allowed, where did these robbers get their knives? Are those yamen guards who inspected the towers blind?

The fourth child, Xu Youyin, was glad that he hid the money in the pear bag.

But before he was rejoicing for a while, the fish was snatched by the four robbers, the luggage was dragged away and thrown everywhere, his drinking water hyacinth was kicked to pieces, and the wooden bowls of the three brothers were thrown into the roadside ditch.

The most exasperating thing is that he opened the pear bag and dropped out his three hanging coins.

The last bit of money can't be kept.

The four thieves picked up the three strings of copper coins cursingly and said: What a mother, you are a few poor ghosts.

The three brothers of the Xu family looked at the big swords, the four shining big swords.

Before going out, my mother said that even if you didn't earn any money, you should come back alive.

Because your eldest brother is gone, if there are any troubles between the three of you, and who will the mother rely on in the future, our family will be completely broken up.

The three brothers clenched their fists and controlled themselves to endure, after all they didn't even have a stick.

Just as the leader was gesticulating with a knife while crushing pears, and said that he thought it was something valuable, but he didn't expect it to be this trash, the youngest Xu Youcang suddenly leaned back to avoid the pistol pinned to his neck. Knife, then kicked the robber down, and at the same time stretched out his arm to block the other robber's machete, clamped the opponent's wrist with a creaking hole to remove the knife, and threw the man into the roadside ditch: "Hold the grass, you Grandfather!"

Who dares to steal money, and dare to crush other pears.

Xu's second child and fourth child also jumped up at the same time, and they rushed towards the leading robber with the same goal.

The Xu family brothers thought to themselves:
The three of us took turns carrying Qiuli all the way on our backs, how dare you kick me to pieces?
Also calling us poor ghosts?
That was all the money the three brothers almost lost their lives to earn.

Those who rob them don't like the lack of money, do they!
In the next scene, the four robbers just wanted to ask for money, but the three brothers of the Xu family were risking their lives.

And there was only one back and forth, and the second child and the fourth child twisted the leader of the bandit in their arms.

As long as the second child exerts a little force, the opponent's head will fall off.

He screwed it off on impulse, and if he dared to steal their money, he would kill them.

It's time to die, so let's see who dies first.

And the fourth child pulled out his hand and picked up a large knife with his third brother to chase after the two who were about to run.

Why are there two people, obviously four, isn't there one who couldn't get up in the ditch, and was thrown by Xu Youcang onto a rock.

The two brothers brandished large knives to catch up to the two men and they were trampled under their feet.

"Brother, we made a mistake. We are just doing nothing, so we dare not do it again."

The two fell to their knees with a plop.

Who are these four? If Mrs. Xu is here, she can recognize them. Isn't this just a bastard who followed the boss?That must be a well-known bum in the town.

Take money to help people fight.

They were chased by the old ladies of Erdaohe when they entered Wangjiagou on the day of fishing.

At this time, he gesticulated and took the broken knife again, and drilled into the mountain to do robbery.

Xu Youcang smiled sinisterly, remembering what his elder brother taught him to treat him in his own way: "This road was opened by your father and me, you choose yourself, you either die, or leave me the money to buy the road."

Xu Youyin reminded: "Third brother, what did they mean when they said they were a few poor ghosts?"

So this evening, the three brothers of the Xu family also rescued the old man's family who were driving the car and did not pull them.

Give the money that the four people robbed the old man's family.

The daughter-in-law there was so frightened that she bled. When the Xu family brothers arrived, the family was tied to a big tree.

But the three brothers of the Xu family robbed the robbers of seven and a half silver coins.

　Isn’t it a holiday today? It’s Saturday again. After I finished the update in the afternoon, the whole family went out to eat together. I drank too much. I will update again, think about it, get up and write.In fact, I can catch up with Jiageng, but I know the direction of the story in my heart, and writing a thousand or two thousand words is useless. Everyone is still anxious after reading it, and still can't finish writing this paragraph.So I have been writing until now it is 08:30 in the middle of the night. This chapter is 3600 words, which is equal to two small chapters. I hope that the book friends who are waiting will not be disappointed in their hearts. I have worked hard.If you are disappointed, I feel that my hard work has been in vain.I also wrote after drinking too much. I don't know the quality of this chapter, but I tried my best.

　　It should be 521 now, I wish you all a happy weekend.
