Under the small slope not far from Guangwu Mountain, there are three or five families scattered with their backs to the mountain. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoAlthough there are not many good places to grow crops, there are large hillside meadows around. In addition to planting a small amount of land, these families live by grazing a few pigs and sheep on the grass.

The one closest to the foot of the mountain is Zheng Er's house, with two large poplar trees in front of the door and a lush hillside behind.

Driving the few pigs he picked up back to his door, Zheng Er looked at the three Lu Fang who followed him, and shook his head helplessly. These people didn't rob them, they were already restrained by Xu Ping, where did Zheng Er dare to say anything else?

Called the Hun family out to help open the door of the pigsty in front of the door, drove the pig inside, closed the door, and Zheng Er entered his yard. After a while, he carried a sickle and a piece of hemp rope, Zheng Er went out again, and said to Lu Fang and the three of them, who were still turning around in front of his house: "Dianzhi, the little one is kind and persuasive, you better go back." I will raise these pigs at home for a few days, and the people who order them will come when they will come, so I will go to slaughter them. It is useless for you to keep watch at my door like this. If they had been two or three days later, would you have been able to keep it until then? ”

Lu Fang said irritably: "You just have to do your own thing, don't come to provoke grandpa!" Provoked me to get angry, dismantle your pigsty, and just grab two of them myself and go back to eat meat! ”

Zheng Er shook his head and sighed repeatedly, and took a sickle and hemp rope to cut pigweed on the hillside.

In those days, many peasant households ate half rice and half chaff, and wherever there was surplus grain to feed the pigs, they would go outside to collect some pigweed and come back to feed them. The families who raise a lot are like shepherds, driving in the mountain meadows to let the pigs find food to eat, and rely on heaven and earth to raise them.

Seeing Zheng Er's figure swaying up the hillside, getting smaller and smaller in his eyes, a soldier said to Lu Fang: "Dianzhi, are we just waiting here?" If it's true, as this guy says, that no one comes for a day, will we just wait here for a day, and then go back empty-handed in the evening? ”

"How can you go back empty-handed when you have already come out! The marquis has repeatedly told us not to force the purchase of goods and ruin our reputation, so we have no choice but to wait here. If not, according to my temper, I would have kicked this guy to the ground and just taken two pigs away, would he dare to sue us at the yamen! Now we'll only wait here until evening, and if anyone comes, we won't say much, so we might as well put two of them together. If no one comes, then it can't be said, Zheng Er has to promise if he agrees, and if he doesn't agree, he has to agree, it makes no sense that we drink the wind for nothing in front of his door! ”

The two soldiers nodded again and again: "Dianzhi said yes, we wait for a long time, and the heart will arrive, and then buy it from Zheng second-hand, he can't say anything!"

Zheng Er hit a bundle of pigweed, and when he saw Lu Fang leading two people to sit under the big poplar tree, he shook his head helplessly. Put the pigweed into the pigsty, and then go up the mountain to fetch a bundle of grass and come back, I saw Lu Fang and the three of them sitting impatiently under the tree, turning around in the half-dry ditch not far from his house, and I don't know what shrimp and fish they were looking for.

Beat enough pigweed, see that the sun in the west sky began to turn red, and staggered like a drunk and was about to fall to the top of the west mountain, Zheng Er took a sickle and a rope, and entered the house by himself.

The two soldiers tied a few yellow eels with a few straw ropes, looked at Zheng Er's door, and said to Lu Fang: "Dianzhi, seeing that the sky is getting dark, you can't wait any longer!" Otherwise, the two of us will go up and catch two pigs and take them away, and leave money for this guy's family. If you really want to investigate it afterwards, Dianzhi only said that she didn't know. “

"What nonsense! I, Lu Fang, have also fought in and out of thousands of troops, and I want you to take the blame for me. Okay, it's not early, don't wait, we told Zheng Tu in the past, just take the pig away! “

After speaking, he took a big stride and walked towards Zheng Er's house not far away, and the two soldiers followed closely.

As soon as he walked to the door of Zheng Er's house, he suddenly heard a singing voice from the corner of the mountain. The song is a country slang song, the lyrics are even more vulgar, and the singer is a male duck's voice, which is extremely ugly.

Lu Fang stopped, turned around and looked over in disgust, only to see two vulgar men with open chests and bare arms turning out from behind the mountain. The two of them have black faces and strong bodies, more like butchers than Zheng Er, but each of them has a big red flower on their sideburns.

Seeing the two of them, Lu Fang whispered to the two soldiers behind him: "Aren't these two prankies here to buy pigs?" We'll watch from the sidelines, and we'll just do what I tell us to do!" ”

The soldier agreed, and flashed to the side with Lu Fang.

The two vulgar men arrived in front of Zheng Er's house after a while, and saw Lu Fang and the three of them, wearing civilian clothes and not holding weapons, just as ordinary farmers nearby, and didn't care.

A man with a black mole on his face said loudly to Lu Fang: "You three, don't you also come to Zheng Tu's door to buy pork?" This guy hasn't been doing business well recently, and the meat case in the county town is gone, no wonder he has found a home! ”

Another scorched yellow hair said: "Second Brother Xiong, this is what you don't know!" Recently, there has been a drought, and it is difficult for farmers in Heyin County to eat a dry meal, and they still buy meat! Zheng Tu went to set up the meat case, but he just recruited flies in vain! ”

The two of them said a few words, and the scorched yellow hair stepped forward and banged on the door with a bang.

Zheng Er's voice came from inside: "Dianzhi, there are really no pigs that have not been sold to you today, so let's go back early!" ”

Before the words fell, panicked footsteps came from the courtyard. Zheng Ersheng was afraid of breaking the courtyard gate of his house, so he ran out in a hurry, opened the firewood door, and saw the scorched yellow hair, and swallowed back all the words he was going to say to Lu Fang.

The scorched yellow hair glared at Zheng Er and said, "What did you just say!" There are obviously a few pigs in the outer circle of the door, how can you say that there are no ones to sell to us! ”

When Zheng Er saw that the main lord was coming, he sighed and said with a smile: "Fifth Brother Jiao heard the mistake, what I said was that the pig just rushed back, and he took it away before it was dark." I went to slaughter it and came back for dinner. ”

Fifth Brother Jiao took a sip: "When I was deaf, I obviously didn't say that just now!" That's it, you are getting less and less clever, don't care about you, it's not early, hurry up and drive the pigs on our way! ”

Zheng Er said yes again and again, turned his head and shouted to the Hun family at home, and then took the chaimen and flashed out.

Lu Fang looked at it coldly from the side, Xiong Er and Jiao Wu, the two men, seemed to be the bankers of some big family. Tong Qilang's cellar is at the foot of Guangwu Mountain, cutting down trees on the mountain to make charcoal and burning cellars, are they Tong Qilang's people?

Tong Qilang's guy doesn't seem to be a good person, and it is not a taboo to rob him of the food in his mouth. (To be continued.) )
