Section 2109 Civilian Life

A very peaceful small mountain village. There are not many people in the village, only a few hundred people. This is where Saber lives now. The two of them arrived at the edge of the village one after the other. It has been two days since they left home. It's time, the old lady at the door has already seen the two of them, this old lady also hoped that there would be more children in her family, who knew that she had three daughters and only one son, and this wife left very quickly Early on, she did all the things in the family by herself. Finally, this son grew up, and finally he didn't have to worry about the family affairs. The eldest daughter has reached the age of marriage. The family started to leave one by one step by step, and the house was going to be deserted again.

God is so pitiful to see that he let his son carry back a young man. This guy has a tiger head and a tiger brain, which makes me very happy. Not only this, but this young man is very neat in doing things, and he is very satisfied with his work. My life is not so good. Recently, this kid has been doing very well. From time to time, I can eat meat at home. In the past, this was only available during the Chinese New Year. When I think of the two of them going out, they say The old lady was so happy that she didn't know what to say to get a few hundred catties of wheat for her daughter as a dowry.

In fact, the eldest daughter is going to marry from the village next door, her own nephew, although the mother-in-law over there is her own sister, but this has to save face. What, even though my nephew said he didn't want any dowry, his face doesn't look good, does he? How can this work? It must be done properly. Now I am waiting for the two of them to come back to see how their harvest is. In the past, my son was also a good at picking herbs. The money that can be earned is just enough to feed a family of old snacks. It can't be said that they are full, but now this kid has a lot of gains every time he comes. The life at home is getting better and better, and I know how much my little daughter thinks, and my son gets along with him like a brother. If I can be my son-in-law, hehe, there is nothing to say about this day, anyway. The kid doesn't remember anything. If you stay, you will be a door-to-door son-in-law, and the son and son-in-law will live together in the future. Flowers can have someone to take care of them if they have anything to do. It makes me happy to think about it these days. As soon as the old lady thought of this, the youngest daughter came out with clothes.

"Xiao Sier, you just go back and cook. Your brother and the others won't come back in a while. What's the matter? I didn't see you for two days, so I thought about it? When your brother went out by himself, he always came out to see you." Yes, this daughter. I just can’t keep it, and my mind has long been on someone else.” The old lady said with a smile when she saw her little daughter, she was still a little bit disappointed in her heart, she had treasured her for so many years, now It's impossible to say that I don't feel uncomfortable when I'm about to belong to someone else, but I soon thought about it again. Isn't this the door-to-door son-in-law? It's the same as being in your own home. What's there to think about.

"Mother, what are you talking about? Didn't I see that you have been here for a long time, so I am afraid that you will come to see if you are lonely. It is like what you said. My brother and the others said that they will definitely come back tonight. You Just go inside and wait, it's starting to get cold outside." The little girl blushed, walked to the old lady's side and said, because she is the youngest child in the family, so she is more spoiled. But the people are still very nice,

As far as the present is concerned, her appearance is also above average, and many people in the village miss her, but this girl has never taken a fancy to her, but this second fool from outside caught his eyes, thinking of that girl Ersha, the old lady is also very satisfied. Apart from work, this human heart is also a very important aspect. The old lady can see that Ersha's heart is not bad. Many things are more important than yourself. Thoughtful, if my daughter followed his flowers, she would definitely not be bullied.

"Hehe, it's okay, it's only been a few months, I can't sit still in the house, what's going on with your eldest sister, I'm going to go out on the second day of the next month, if you have anything, you can tell me That's all she has to do. As for your second sister, if someone comes to see you these days, we can't be rude. Your brother and Ersha are both gentlemen, and some things are always not as careful as a woman's. Yes, I know you have been rushing to make shoes for Ersha these two days, but his feet are similar to your brother's, let him wear your brother's first, and take care of your elder sister's work first, and the rest What you do is all your own business." The old lady saw that the girl was still pinned with needles and thread, and she immediately joked about it. When the youngest daughter heard the old lady say that, how could she still hang on her face? She just turned around and stopped talking. This old lady is always making fun of her daughter.

"Mother, we're back." Just as the old lady was about to continue talking, her son's voice came from a distance, and the little girl also hurried back to the country. Stupid or who? My elder brother is just lazy, everything is on Ersha's body, this elder brother came back empty-handed, the little girl tried hard to tell her elder brother from the bottom of her heart, the customs here can't teach elder brother to be a younger sister.

"I was thinking that it would take a while for you guys to come back. Why did you come back so early today, Er silly, quickly put down all the things on this body, you are the same kid, I will give half of the things to your brother. I’m far away, and I’m not afraid of being tired.” The old lady helped Ersha take off the things on her body with a smile, and Ersha could also feel the care of her mother, and she got along with them very well. For a short period of time, but this family is all good people, and everyone is good to me. It seems that I haven't encountered such a feeling in a long time. To be honest, I really enjoy this feeling.

"I'm going to take it slow. Ersha is in a hurry to come back. I'm afraid that you all have finished the food. No, we got a rabbit when we came back. This kid will make us a stewed hare tonight. , he’s doing it here, I’ll go over there and call my cousin, even though we don’t see each other a few days before we get married, but how many of us, brother-in-laws, educate him, if he dares to bully me in the future Sister’s flower, you have to make him look good.” The man’s name is Sanwa, and everyone in the village calls it that way, and the cousin he said is his eldest sister’s husband, and there are not so many etiquettes in this village. Besides, the distance between the two villages is less than a kilometer. In the past, the old lady's nephew often asked Sanwa to eat there. Everyone in the village is like this, as long as there is delicious food at home It is a relatively simple custom to ask relatives to come together for food, which also means that one does not eat alone.

"Hehe. Your cousin is a loyal person. Call him when you call him. Say hello to your aunt for me, and I told him to come and have a drink with him in the past few days. Er silly, go do your work." Just tell your brother to go by himself." Seeing Ersha said with a smile on those faces, this kid is just a little less talkative, just like an elm lump, but what I like is his honesty, isn't it? If his mouth is full of flowers. I also feel uncomfortable.

The third baby agreed and ran over quickly. The eldest daughter and the second daughter of the family came out to look at the wild rabbit. The rabbit had already died a long time ago. He came here to do it, and it can be seen from the smile on his face that these two people have gained a lot this time. As for the fourth girl, she doesn't have so much time to take care of this right now. He went into the house to fetch water for Ersha. Boil the water.

"Mom, I'll get the hare on first. You just watch it and leave it alone." Er Sha didn't wash his face first, but took advantage of his current hand to quickly skin the hare. That action was regarded as a village Even the butcher can't keep up, this kid really can do whatever he wants, the family is very happy to see it, the old lady also nodded cheerfully, and from the day she carried him back, she has been calling her mother of. One more son, such a thing is really great, it can be considered that God has given him a care of Mr. Lin, how can he not be happy about this?

When the hares here were just finished, Sanwazai over there also came with a strong man, and they got married in a few days, and this guy seemed a little shy. In the past, he could hear his voice from a long distance. The voice is loud, but I didn’t come here empty-handed. Although it is my aunt’s house, she will soon be my mother-in-law, so I brought a jar of rice wine made at home. Although it’s not very delicious, it’s still considered a country village. Good stuff for people.

"You kid, I told you to come over and eat rabbits. The two of them got it back, and you brought the wine. I don't know how much to drink when you have a wedding in a few days. From now on, you want to start a family and start a business and live a good life." Now, if this is not a well-managed flower, there will be nothing to eat in the future." Although the old lady said that, she was very satisfied with her nephew's performance in her heart, because her nephew's family was better than theirs. , A jar of wine is a thing here, but it’s nothing over there. Regarding the flowers of his mother-in-law and aunt, he just smiled cheerfully. The young man began to look for his future daughter-in-law in the crowd, Deacon Girls have very thin skins, and they have already gone to the house at this moment. If they are still showing their faces here, people will think that they are dishonest. Have you never seen a man before? If the sky is over, you can look at it however you want. The man will not look for it after he figured it out, and he and his two cousins ​​will start to get busy. The post-processing of this matter of collecting herbs is also very important. At that time, Sanwazai’s medicinal materials were all sold by this cousin on the way, because Sanwazai was not very familiar with the things there, so it was all made by his cousin, and he was very conscientious in what he did, and he could give it to him. The cousin got a good price, because he also knew that the money was all the assets of the aunt's family. Sometimes if the medicinal materials could not be sold, he would take it out of his wallet first, and he couldn't let the cousin and his family pay for it. The son has no food to eat, and he has helped a lot over the years.

"Hehe, cousin, it seems that you have suddenly become more powerful recently. Look at these medicinal materials. You used to have so much in half a month before. These can be sold for at least ten taels of silver. Tomorrow I will Go over there and sell it to you. You still have more than two taels of silver over there. I don’t know if they have sold it, but I guess I can get the money tomorrow. Already." The eldest son-in-law said with a smile, if the life of this mother-in-law's family is good, I can also get rich, see if I ask myself to come over to eat rabbit meat now, in the past I used to come over and ask them to go over there Go for the meat ones.

"Where am I so much better? This is all thanks to the fool. This kid has very thieves' eyes. I didn't see many things. This kid got it down when he went up. There are ten taels of silver for these? Yes Oh, Ersha, don’t you still have a snake gall in there, show it to my cousin, Ersha said that it’s a poisonous snake, so it should be able to sell for a lot of money, right?” Sanwazai’s heart still lingers when he thinks of the poisonous snake. Scared. At that time, I thought that there would be casualties between the two of us, but who knew that the second fool would take out the snake gall after going up and down. This ability is not something that ordinary people can have, and I am envious of myself, but I don't know it.

"What? And snake gallbladder? Hehe, you two have made a fortune going in here. Those things are not often seen. If they are poisonous snakes, they may be even more valuable. Now some medicine stores in the county want those things. Show me quickly." Hearing that there is snake gall, this guy also became interested.

"Cousin, look at how much this thing is worth." Ersha took out a snake gall the size of a child's fist from his arms. Cousin took it and looked at it for a long time, and finally confirmed that it was a kind of seven-step tooth viper in the mountains. This kind of snake gall can be sold for at least fifteen taels of silver. Seeing that the current one belongs to the relatively large one, it is estimated to cost twenty Two taels of silver is definitely not a small number for ordinary people, this kid is really a lucky star. My mother-in-law's life improved very quickly with this kid at home. It is impossible to get such a thing without more than a dozen people, but now it seems that the two of them brought this thing back. If it is accurate Speaking of flowers, it is estimated that the second fool in front of him is responsible for it alone. It seems that this cousin of mine didn't do anything, which is even more shocking.

"Haha, you two boys can really make it. This thing costs at least twenty taels of silver. Auntie, these two idiots are really the lucky stars of the family. As far as I know, such things cost at least eighty years of poisonous snakes." It is possible. It is impossible to catch such a thing without more than a dozen people. You two are also inexperienced. If you drag the snake back, how can you sell it for a few taels of silver? It’s useless, there are so many hunters in the mountains, I guess they’ll all take advantage of it.” My cousin said with a smile, the old lady was very happy when she heard about this flower, and this snake gall is worth twenty taels of silver ? In addition to their gains this time, there are thirty taels of silver. In the past, my son could not earn that much silver for half a year, but now he has so much. This way, his eldest daughter's affairs can definitely be taken care of. What's more, the scenery is beautiful, and the second daughter's side can also do it, which suddenly turned my family upside down. Maybe the remaining ten taels of silver can be entrusted to a matchmaker to find a good wife for my son. Woolen cloth.

"That's great, brother, we can do anything in this way, let's go outside with my cousin tomorrow." Ersha said cheerfully, what he didn't know was how rich he was before , but now he is happy to be like this for twenty taels of silver, I really don't know what to say.

"Okay, cousin, how about the two of us going to the county town with you tomorrow? We haven't gone out for a long time." This guy had more thoughts in his heart, and went to the county town to give his family Everyone buys some cloth, and they haven’t made new clothes for a long time. It’s easy for others to say that their eldest sister is going to get married, and it’s impossible to spend without new clothes. The same is true for the old lady, who has already worn the clothes on her body. for a long time.

"Hehe, fine, I'll call you tomorrow morning, but you two just came back from the mountains, don't you need to take a break? If you want to go to the city, you can do it in a few days. You don't need to go so hard Yes, just rest at home for a while." The cousin thought for a while and said, he was worried that the bodies of these two guys would not be able to bear it, but what he didn't know was that these people wanted to go to the city. I understand, many people know clearly that the city is another world to them, and it would be the best thing for them if they can go for a walk in the city, but they also understand that, There are not many opportunities for this. Cousin goes to the city every day, so naturally he doesn’t feel this. He has his own connections. There are many people in the village who want to tell cousin their daughter-in-law. The eldest sister who likes Sanwazi, this honest cousin is not found everywhere.

"It's okay, I went in and didn't do anything. It was all done by Ersha. Look at Ersha's current state, what can he do? He is very happy. I guess this kid hasn't been to the city yet. Well, I went there once at the beginning of the year, and I don’t remember it now, but I know that the mutton skewers are delicious in the city, and I’m going to eat some of them tomorrow.” The guy said with a smile , for them, the lamb kebabs in this city are what they dream of. The price of this thing is not very expensive, you can have one for five yuan. There is not a lot of meat. If someone like him eats flowers vigorously for a while, he can probably eat hundreds of them. That is, he can just eat two casually every time he goes, but there is no time when he is full.

"Okay, you two have earned so much money, you should have a good meal." A few people laughed and waited for Ersha's braised hare, not to mention that this guy is really good at making this , After a while, the fragrance spread. Many people looked at Ersha happily, how many secrets does this guy have, let alone his cooking skills, if he went to some restaurants in the county town, a There is no problem with the wages of taels of silver on the second month, which is considered very good in the local area. Take care of food and housing, you can still have two taels of silver a month, and you can save all the money. This little life is really good, not like Sanwazi, although you can have several taels of silver a month of. But if you count food, drink and some expenses at home, you have nothing. If you want to save money, it is even more difficult, so many people in the mountains think that they can get a job in the county. , In this way, after a year, you can come back with more than a dozen taels of silver, and the life of this family is also very good.

One night, the three brothers ate small dishes and drank small wines. It was a very good day. My cousin went back in a daze after eating a meal until after 11 o'clock in the evening. Basically, he had already agreed on some routes to the county. It was sold, and these things cannot be carried around on the body. There are many thieves in this city, especially the snake gall, twenty taels of silver, which is not a small sum of money.

The two brothers just slept for a few hours. The cousin over there has already come to call them, which is why the distance is relatively close. If it is far away, it may not be so convenient. The two of them obviously did not sleep. Wake up, but my cousin is different. My cousin has such a day almost every day. There are many people in this village who want to invite my cousin to dinner. They all want my cousin to give them food in the county town Bring some things or something, otherwise, Cousin Hua wouldn’t be able to eat that much. Cousin already has his own way to deal with these people for a long time, as long as he sleeps for three or four hours, this Immediately refreshed, this is also forced out, there is no way, otherwise Hua, just going to drink every day can waste his time, let alone go to work, a few big cars It's all already installed, basically they are some mountain goods or something, my cousin needs at least thirty taels of silver for this trip, six or seven times a month, so he has two hundred taels of silver a month In terms of income, it is absolutely correct to say that my cousin’s family is a wealthy family in their village. Others can get six or seven cars of silver a month, but he has 30 times more than others, which is why they The reason why the two brothers want to get some dowry for the eldest sister is not to let the cousin look down on it, right? It's from a big family over there, and my cousin is the eldest son and grandson. The people over there don't think much of this girl, it's just that my cousin has always wanted it, otherwise Hua would not have had the possibility. .

"Look at the panda eyes of the two of you. I told you last night to drink less, but none of you listened. Don't you know that drinking like this will cause problems? None of you drink a lot. Besides, you are still young, don't drink to your health." The cousin said when he saw the two of them, the two guys glanced at each other, they were indeed lacking in energy, and then looked at others Cousin, there is nothing to do right now. It seems that he didn't drink alcohol last night. He really wants to sleep at his own home. It will take a while for the two of them to learn such skills.

"Okay, everyone is here, let's set off now, we will arrive at Panlong Town at about nine o'clock in the morning, and the county seat at eleven o'clock in the morning, and we will rest there for the night , come back tomorrow, no matter who you meet on the road or what happens, try not to talk to them too much. I will deal with it if there is anything. If you meet a bandit flower. First look at their abilities. If they are really powerful , even if we lose all the goods, we can’t lose our own lives, our heads are our capital, if we don’t even have this, then we can’t do anything, do you understand?” It's like a little leader. People here look at him with envy, such things are not often seen. The two boys were really envious when they saw their cousin like that, but the second fool felt that it was nothing, as if he had done that before, as if what he did was even better than his cousin, Deacon When I think about those things again, my head is a little foggy, and I can't think of anything.

The small mountain village where Ersha and the others are located is definitely in the mountains, and it is not that easy to get out from them. This road is not a road anymore, this road is still in their village and the village next door. It was built by the strong men for several years. Otherwise, Hua didn't even have such a road. In the past, they had to use iron locks to get out. That thing was flying in the sky, which was very fun, but there were not many things to transport. Another thing is that this thing is very unsafe, and many people die on it every year. It is for this reason that the people in these two villages thought to find a way out no matter what, otherwise their descendants would be poorer and harder to get out in the future, and it is also possible that the people on this land People no longer exist, how can this be their hometown? No one wants to do that.

Sanwazai in Panlong Town often goes there. It is said to be a small town, but in fact it is just a combination of several villages. There are more people, but there are not many people, that is, about 10,000 people, and the rest are in villages more than ten miles away. Yes, because people often pass by. Over time, a bazaar appeared. Hundreds of years have passed, and it is considered very good there. Some people have taken a fancy to this place, and later many merchants came here to do business. They To transport some goods from the mountains, and then transport some goods from outside, the price difference between here and outside is quite a lot. Later, the government saw that an administrative agency should be set up here. First, it can collect taxes, and second, it is You can take good care of these common people, otherwise they don't even know who owns the sky above their heads. If they keep doing this, then it's no small matter.

Along the way, Sanwazai cheerfully told Ersha about some things in Panlong Town, where there are shops, where there are some interesting and delicious things, in fact, he also listened to his cousin. Come here, only one-tenth of the people who have really seen it. I guess the people in this team are the ones he doesn’t know much about. The rest of the people are running around with their cousin. When Wazai said this, they all listened cheerfully, because they also said this to their relatives when they went back, thinking that they could improve their status by saying this. After all, they went out to see the world. Those who have never seen it before are much better than you in this regard, and you should all understand.

Although Ersha is also very interested in listening, but that kind of feeling is not what attracts him. I will have some impressions in my mind of some things that Sanwazai said, and the deacon himself can't remember. That’s it, what kind of person was I in the past? Why did I know so many things? I am good at another thing, but I have the opportunity to use that thing, and I can feel that I am not an ordinary person in the dark, and there is nothing else.

We will soon arrive in Panlong Town, everyone has to pay a head tax of 10 cents. In the past, Sanwazi would feel very distressed when paying this money, so I seldom come here when I have nothing to do. It costs half a catty of wheat just to go in and have a look. I really don’t know what’s good in it. After Ersha came in, he didn’t feel anything, and there was no surprised expression on his face, as if he knew it a long time ago. It's the first time Ersha came here, but the cousin on the side saw it all. He knew that this younger brother came in from the outside, and he couldn't tell from his speech and behavior, but this person's expression often It's very weird, does this guy have any other stories? Generally, if a person enters the county for the first time, he will look left and right, but now this guy is really a little too calm, and he doesn't look around at all. It's just looking at it casually, it doesn't seem to be interesting.

They found a random place to buy some dry food, and the team continued on the road. They would not sell their goods here, because the prices here are too low. There are also places to buy things in the town, and their prices are The pressure is very low. It's like the snake gall of Ersha and the others. If it is sold here, it will cost 15 taels of silver at most. If you are in the county town, you can get twenty taels of silver, but if you can go to the provincial capital, it will be 30 taels of silver, which is the limit of this thing. Sell ​​it, just earn a price difference. Looking at his job now, it is still very promising. If you look at the houses in his family, you will know that he is doing very well.

The team continued on the road, and this time their destination was the county seat. There are obviously a lot more people on this road. Many people are looking around. They are also very curious about the outside, but when they come to a dense forest, the second fool I feel a little nervous, there should be someone ambushing in the woods, that's right. It’s that kind of dangerous feeling. Ersha has such an intuition. Although it’s not very accurate, this thing has indeed been successful. For example, he felt this way when he encountered that snake in the mountains, but he can also feel it. It seems that such a thing can't threaten oneself.

Sure enough, the convoy hadn't walked 20 meters yet. A bow and arrow flew out of the woods and reached the front of them. Needless to say, the bad feeling just now was a bandit. My cousin knew this place well. There was a bandit stationed here for a long time. But it is no small matter. Of course, it’s up to whoever looks at it. If Li Cong looked at the flowers, he would be better than them at pulling out the roots, but now it’s not Li Cong, but cousins. The boss of a first-level fighter has already They got rid of all of them, not to mention there are hundreds of minions. If there is any conflict, they will definitely fail miserably, and everyone may be killed by them To die, the most fearful thing is to meet them.

"I don't know which boss it is, these goods from my brother are not valuable things. If the boss is willing to show his high hand, we will honestly give you twenty taels of silver for tea." The cousin stood up and said, Twenty taels of silver is already their entire budget for encountering bandits this time, and now all of them are thrown here. If they go forward and encounter bandits, they may have to post the money themselves, so it must be a waste of money this time. It's been a while, but as long as I can pass honestly once out of the two times, I can live a very good life, as long as I don't lose my life.

"Hehe, twenty taels of silver, you are really generous, and you don't even look at what grandpas are doing. If it's just for your twenty taels of silver, grandpas might as well go home and go to sleep, sir *** Long-winded, grandpas don’t want to see blood today, so those who are sensible throw away their things and money and get out of here quickly, if they don’t know how to be sensible, they will probably start a massacre today.” At this time, seven or eight people came out from the front , are all riding horses, and there are thirty or forty young people behind them, all of whom are armed. When my cousin heard what they said, his expression immediately became tense. Are you really going to throw away all the goods? Although I said that at the beginning, but the total value of the goods exceeds two hundred taels of silver, if I throw them all here, I may not be able to make up for this loss for several months in the future, but if I don’t do that If so, these people will kill people. The most important thing is that I still have a hundred taels of silver on my body. These are all for shopping. I am going to get married, and I have to buy some things at home. I didn't expect them to be cheaper this time.

"Heroes, we are also doing small businesses. We really don't have much money in our hands. How about this? How about we keep half of the goods? We can explain to others when we go back. What if it is If we don’t have any, we’ll be dead when we go back, and I hope some good guys will show their respect.” In fact, my cousin knows that even if he says that, it’s useless, but he has to say no, there’s a one in ten thousand chance we’ll You have to try, otherwise, you will always be unwilling, won't you?

As soon as my cousin finished speaking, another seven or eight bows and arrows were shot from the opposite side, and two of the men were injured. My cousin hurriedly comforted his subordinates. He knew that his subordinates were also hunters. Sometimes they are all on the road of life and death. If my brothers are injured, it is unreasonable to say nothing, but there are only twenty people on my side. If they really fight, they are not as powerful as the people opposite them , There are still a few horses on the opposite side. If they charge over, the cavalry will kill the infantry. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this.

"Don't move, don't move." Cousin shouted loudly, the bandits over there looked at the people here cheerfully, in their view, if they want to kill you, they will kill you, if they don't want to kill you The only thing is that our hands are tired, do you still want to have a good life of your own? forget it.

"We'll give you all the goods, we'll give you all our money, don't do anything." The cousin gritted his teeth and said, just go back and pay them money. These guys have been with me for a long time. If he can't bring them all back, his transport team will be gone, which will make things worse for him. This is his second life, and he must not let them have an accident. These dozen people It is the foundation of one's own foothold.

"Hehe, if we had done that earlier, there wouldn't be so many things to do, and we would have wasted so many things, that's all, get out, there's nothing for you here, and we won't look for you when you come over next time Trouble, this wool has to be raised for a period of time, otherwise it will be cleaned up all at once, and we will have nothing to rob in the future, hehe, let’s all go back.” This guy said with a smile, dare to love these people It's just one of his sheep. If it looks good, just cut it and harvest it. It's too much, this guy. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets.
