Lianhua Mountain welcomed the first batch of strangers in late winter and early December.

& nbsp; The soldiers of the house are definitely not good enough, and they still have to find someone from outside.

    Cao Dashan is an ordinary farmer in Caojia Village. He is 33 years old this year. Two days ago, his grandson was born.

    The child was just born and needed delicious food to replenish his body. In order to earn two more food, Cao Dashan took his son Cao Xiaoshan to Lianhua Mountain with several nobles.

      in the mountains.

    The backing of the mountain to eat the mountain, there were also several villages on Lianhua Mountain, Cao Dashan remembered his father said that his grandfather lived on Lianhua Mountain, and later found that the black soil on Lianhua Mountain could not grow food , only moved to the place where Caojia Village is now.

    "These are the people?"

    Cao Dashan and Cao Xiaoshan were talking when they suddenly heard a woman's voice. They looked up and saw a beautiful woman walking over with a roll of bamboo slips in her hands.

    They have never seen such a beautiful woman. The farthest place Cao Dashan has been to is the nearby county. When he saw the noble girls of that noble family, he felt at that time that there would be no more beautiful women in this world than them.

    However, this perception was completely overturned by the woman in front of her.

    An Ruiying is a little helpless. She doesn't like the world's attention to her because of her appearance. She hopes that the world can see her ability. Things, beautiful appearance is the focus of their attention, she doesn't like it, so what?

    Do you have to cover your face all day long? Or scratch your face? If this kind of thing is done, An Ruiying suspects that Cheng Yuanxiu will scold her for being hypocritical.

    "I've seen Miss An." The centurion Yi Ge who brought the villagers back gave An Ruiying a salute, "It's these people, I don't know Miss An, can you arrange a place for them? "

    An Ruiying nodded, "It's been arranged a long time ago, the residence number above this bamboo slip, I'll take them there in a while."

    Yige took the bamboo slip from An Ruiying's hand, and took out a bamboo slip from his arms, and recorded the life and address of each villager who came here to ensure that everyone is innocent He came from a good family and has no criminal record of cheating.

    Cao Xiaoshan looked at the bamboo slip in the crowd, remembered that when they were at the entrance of the village, these people called them to ask them one by one, and held Cao Dashan a little uneasy, "Aweng, I always feel that something is wrong, this is so remote, why build a house here? Moreover, they are armed with swords and armor, and they seem to be soldiers, and they also understand our foundation so clearly, are they too careful?"

    Cao Dashan also felt inappropriate, but everyone else came, and the whole family was waiting at home for them to earn food and go back!

    He hasn't read books and doesn't understand the big truth of being a human being in this world, but he knows what kind of people live long. Cao Dashan squeezed Cao Xiaoshan's wrist and whispered: "Remember, don't talk, don't ask, what the adults tell us to do, we will do it! We must be obedient!"

      A half size.

    Not only Cao Xiaoshan is afraid, but Cao Dashan is also worried.

    "Let them line up, check again, and check one by one before putting them in." Yi Ge is big and three thick, but his heart is very subtle, no matter what he does, he will confirm it repeatedly, because With his cautious temperament, Cheng Yuanxiu will promote him.

      all have.

    In contrast, the soldiers under An Lin's hands were a bit uneven, some were literate, and some were disabled.

    Yes, there are also disabled people among them, it is not enough to lack arms and legs, but there are several who are not good at brains. A fool who can only understand simple words on weekdays, and can't understand more.

     

    At the same time, it also shows that Liu Yi's control of the military power in the DPRK is not high.

    In addition to the people from Caojia Village and several other villages who came to build houses, most of them were frightened by the screening over and over again. In addition, there were soldiers with swords all around. The villagers who were shouting loudly on weekdays would shrink their necks and be cautious. They would answer whatever the soldiers asked. They didn’t dare to say a word, for fear that the knife in the soldier’s hand would slash their neck in the next second. up.

     Soon they arrived at Cao Dashan and Cao Xiaoshan, and the two of them answered the questions of several soldiers tremblingly, causing the soldiers who verified them to look at the father and son a few more times, and they were even more afraid when they saw it. .

    "The two were father and son just now. They look alike, and they are equally timid."

    "Haha, that's not it, but I looked at them twice, and I was so scared that I couldn't even speak. It's alright, let's work hard, and we will be seen by the centurion in a while. Being lazy, you can’t do without a scolding, and when you’re done, you have to help Mr. An carry books.”

    Thinking of the few carts of bamboo slips that An Lin brought, the two soldiers showed the same disgusting expression on their faces. They knew words, but reading is really not something ordinary people can do. They read so many books, they might as well run a few laps around the camp.

    Building a house is not an easy task these days. Fortunately, there are many people. In addition, there are few workers in these days who steal and play tricks. Eating three full meals a day and paying meager wages is enough for simple villagers to build houses for four or five hours a day.

    If it weren't for the bitter cold in winter and the short days, the daily work time would be longer.

    In a twinkling of an eye, half a month has passed. At the end of December, the New Year is coming. The farmers took the 30 copper coins they earned during this half month and went home happily for the New Year.

 ' With a smile on his face, "Fortunately, the owner is generous, and they gave more. This year will be a good year."

    "En! Aweng, my son wants to go to town to buy some chickens to make up for Lan Niang." Cao Xiaoshan rubbed his hands, the calluses on his hands were only a lot more than Cao Dashan's. , "Aon, it's getting late. I'll go now, and I can be back before night."

    How can Cao Dashan be ruthless when facing his son's expectation? Immediately poured out five copper coins from the purse, "Save it."

      Cao Xiaoshan took it and nodded heavily, then left.

    Cao Dashan looked at his back and sighed heavily.

     

    Cao Dashan remembered when he first became a father. At that time, he had a few chickens at home. Where would he need to go out to work to earn money to buy chickens during the Chinese New Year? I don't know what's going on these years, the days are getting harder and harder, obviously they have been saving money.

    The tax is getting heavier and heavier, but the food in the fields is getting less and less. In the past few years, the army was conscripted every year, and the family was confiscated. , The prince raised his army not far from them. If there is a war, how will this day go on?

    Cao Dashan clenched the copper coins in his hand, life will always get better and better, right?

    Actually, not.

    The ten days of the Chinese New Year were calm, and it seemed that there was no such thing as a rebellion by the prince's cavalry, but just when the people thought the matter was resolved, the prince killed Qi Chong.

    He not only killed Qi Chong, but also sentenced Qi Chong to a car split and gave his head to Liu Yi, intending to show the world the determination of the prince Qingjun.

    After the death of Qi Chong, the person who was defined by the prince as a traitor was the current prime minister - Jiang Nuo.

    An Huang was furious, and the two sides started a formal battle.

    When the war was raging outside, the house on Lianhuashan was built.

    After two months, it was finally built at the end of January in the early spring of the sixteenth year of Dingping. In two months, a few hundred people built a village that could accommodate 800 households. All have their own house.

    Cheng Yuanxiu's mission changed from pulling soldiers to exercise every day, to taking soldiers to farm with Jiang You.

    After Jiang You came to this world, it was the first time she went to the field to farm. She didn't know the rules of farming, nor how to plant it. She came here mainly to discuss with experienced old farmers , How to make terraces.

    This experienced farmer is Cao Dashan.

    He grew up in the fields since he was a child. Farming is what he is best at. It is not that there are no old farmers more experienced than him, but to come to Lotus Mountain, he must cross the mountain. , An old man who was too old came over, Jiang You was afraid that something would freeze out, and he picked and picked, only to find a Cao Dashan.

    Cao Dashan was a little surprised when he saw Jiang You. When building a house, Jiang You talked with him several times about building a house, and sometimes made some requests. Cao Dashan always thought that Jiang You Especially the girl from the owner's family doesn't look like a manager.

    The owner may be the majestic little lady Cheng who brings a bunch of soldiers to train every day, or the master An who is holding a bamboo slip every time she appears.

    Seeing Cheng Yuanxiu and An Lin who were following behind Jiang You, he thought that he must have overlooked the fact that the real owner is so approachable.

                                       

    In a blink of an eye, from spring to summer, from summer to autumn, and another autumn harvest.

    Lianhua Mountain was once a famous barren mountain, but in recent years, Lianhua Mountain seems to be different.

      As for what is inside, even the land planted inside is not registered in the register, nor is it taxed.

    Some people who couldn't live in a nearby village went to seek refuge, and they settled there.

    But if people don't come to a desperate situation, how can they abandon their clan and go to those deep mountains and old forests?

    There is a big locust tree in the middle of Caojia Village. The women of Caojia Village are used to sitting under the big locust tree in the evening, especially during the slack of farming. This is their favorite place to come, next to the big locust tree. It is the ancestral hall of the Cao family, which enshrines the common ancestors of the Cao family village, and the incense continues.

    "Dashan's family, I heard that your family is moving to the Lotus Mountain? It's all black soil over there, black on your body and face, and you can't grow food, you guys What are you doing there!"

    "Yes, from the Dashan family, your grandson was born less than a year ago. Although your farmland is only a few acres left, your family has a small population. After this year, the harvest may be good next year. Now, you can hold on!"

    The peasant woman, surrounded by a group of women talking, lowered her head and sewed old clothes, her eyes were full of wrinkles, her face was tanned, her temples were gray, who could tell that she was only in her early thirties Woolen cloth?

    The peasant woman looked down at her clothes, then looked at the clothes of the people around her, and sighed. After the autumn harvest a few years ago, everyone in their Caojia Village could put on half-new clothes, and during the Chinese New Year, they could also change into new clothes, but now, their clothes are full of patches.

     

    "His third aunt, hasn't your tiger son come back yet?"

    The peasant woman wanted to ask more, her son was drawn into a soldier, and there has been no news for three months.

    The third aunt was a woman dressed like a peasant woman and looked about the same age. She shook her head silently, and there was no smile on her face.

      Son, I have been there for three months, and there is not a single one who has heard from him at all.

    "Perhaps the war is tight and there is no news, so it's not necessarily a bad thing."

    A woman secretly wiped away her tears, reluctant to think about it, if there is no news, her son must still be alive, and it is best to be alive.

    “His second uncle, why are you here?”

     

    The moment the peasant woman saw him, her heart trembled.

    "Second, Uncle, why are you here? Hurry up, sit down!" The peasant woman hurriedly put the half-sewed clothes aside, and wiped them on the clothes with trembling hands. Wiping the sweat off his palms, "Second Uncle, but there is news from my hill?"

    "And my tiger!"

    "Where's my Ah Fu?" "Aquan has also been gone for a long time, is there any news?"

    A group of women swarmed up and looked at the old man with expectant eyes, the old man met so many pairs of eyes full of mother to son, wife to her husband, his heart became heavier, his nose was sour, his eyes were sore Reddened, he opened his mouth, a choked sob came out of his throat, and he couldn't say a word.

    "This, what's the matter? Why don't you say a word, you start crying? But my family's Ah Fu is coming back, he's back safely? I think he's worried, He's fifteen years old, and he hasn't been away from me for that long in fifteen years! He must have missed me, and I dreamed of him yesterday! I waited from summer until the autumn harvest, and he said that the autumn harvest would come back to help harvest the grain. Second uncle!!"

    I don't know which woman it is, she said, she screamed sternly, her mother's unique intuition told her that even if she waited for more summer and autumn, she would not be able to wait for her son.
