Racecourse.

A remote stone house against the mountain forest stands alone on a hillside dozens of meters high.

Originally, this stone house was built as a horse farm for those spring and summer days, where the grooms of the mules and horses rested and observed.

Although this place has been set up as a horse farm, because the surrounding area is desert, there are continuous mountains dozens of miles away, and jackals often appear.

The grooms also had to be vigilant when grazing the mules and horses.

Especially in autumn or spring, when jackals hunt to fill their stomachs, if they can't find food nearby, wolves will take risks and come to the horse farm.

Therefore, this stone house was built on the hillside, and for personal safety, a position that was easy to defend and difficult to attack was also chosen.

If there are wolves, even a few people, as long as they stay in this stone house and keep their doors closed, and then send a signal, someone will come up to answer the racecourse.

At this moment, this house has become a place for Song Chongjin and them.

There was a wall made of stone in front of the stone house, and Song Xiaoyin and Song Xiaomao were tightly wrapped, like bears, hiding behind the wall, looking at the situation below the mountain through the cracks in the stones.

Song Chongjin and a few other people sat in the stone house, and there were some firewood in the stone house that the groom had stored in the autumn before, all of which were lit at the moment, and the room was quite warm.

The fiery red light, swaying on everyone's faces, reflected the heavy faces of everyone in the room.

In addition to the two brothers Song Xiaowei and Song Xiaowu brought by Song Chongjin, the rest of the house are all officials of the county government.

They described themselves as embarrassed, their clothes stained with mud and snow, their hair disheveled, their faces and hands scratched by branches and stones, and they sat by the fire.

His face was very ugly, and Quan Xiangsheng, the county lieutenant of Chicheng County, grinned and smeared his arm with medicinal wine, and scolded in his mouth: "These eight lambs in the horse farm dare to scare us!" They're going to rebel! Wait for Lao Tzu to go out, see how Lao Tzu cleans them up! Phew, dare to stumble on your grandfather, it's tired and crooked, right? ”

In the past, at this time, they were all nested at home, the mother-in-law and the child heated the kang head, and then scalded a pot of wine, so that the mother-in-law fried a plate of peanuts and a plate of soybeans, that is called the day.

This year, it was just a matter of a new boss coming first, and after inspecting for more than a month, I found that this new Lord Song looked young, but his means and scheming were not bad.

Not to mention the Mr. Jane next to him, who is a thousand-year-old fox.

What's even more evil is Lord Song's wife, and she doesn't know what ** soup she fed her own woman, so she went to see her and came back, praised Lord Song and his wife like a flower, and said good things for Lord Song everywhere.

If he didn't know that his mother-in-law was Lao Zhuhuang, he would have wondered if Lord Song had made a beautiful man trick for his mother-in-law.

Especially later, Lord Song's wife held a banquet, and after her mother-in-law took her daughter-in-law to go, her own daughter was also like being evil, and she opened her mouth and closed her mouth to see how Lord Song's wife was.

He thought that his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were like this, but even the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the old family were like falling into evil.

The mother-in-law of the old family was even more powerful, and said it directly, saying that Lord Song and Mrs. Song were excellent, respected them, spoke kindly, and didn't take a stand at all, so he didn't stumble on Lord Song.

also said, anyway, no matter who is the adult, it will not be his turn after all, it is rare to meet a person who respects them kindly, and he is not good at assisting, what kind of demon moth is he making trouble?

Could it be that you still want to get a boss who looks down on them and thinks about giving them concubines every day?

Lao Wan, that bastard, said it well, after the new county order took office, they took a good look at it, if the new county order was not capable enough, they could also take care of it or two, but don't let the new adults understand anything, and they have to meddle in everything, and finally ask them to clean up the mess.

Unexpectedly, Lao Wan was a soft-eared person who was afraid of his mother-in-law, and he hadn't been a month yet, so he listened to his mother-in-law and turned against him.

Why don't you tell yourself? Wouldn't it be nice for everyone to work together?

On the first day, he said how to embarrass Lord Song the next day, and the next day, Lao Wan, that bastard, was a rice pecking chicken in front of the saddle and behind the horse, and he nodded whatever Lord Song said.

If he hadn't reacted quickly and immediately changed his attitude, he was afraid that he would be led into the ditch by that bastard of Lao Wan.

After their attitude changed, they could also clearly find that Lord Song's attitude had changed.

began to trust them without saying anything, and silently gave them increased benefits.

For example, in the class room, you must know that in previous years, the charcoal fire was not enough, and when the brothers were on duty, they were all too cold, and at this time of year, whose hands and feet did not freeze sores?

But this year, the charcoal fire in the class room is sufficient, since the winter, every day to the county office, there will be a big pot of ginger soup sitting on the charcoal fire, hot and scalding, drink it, the whole person is warm.

There are also anti-chilblain medicines in the class room, which are said to have been prepared by the adult's wife. I heard that Mrs. studied under the imperial doctor, and this anti-frostbite ointment is hard to find.

I don't know if it's a thousand dollars, but his brother's chilblain this year has been coated with this ointment, and he really hasn't committed it.

Not to mention, with enough charcoal fire, everyone can bring food to the yamen, heat it on the charcoal fire at noon, and you can eat hot food.

You don't have to brave the cold wind to walk home, eat and come back against the cold wind, blow a cold wind in your belly, and the iron-beaten man can't stand it.

Also, the lady in the back also asked people to spread the word, saying that if a group of brothers went out on patrol and said something to the backyard, they happened to go with the housekeeper who bought in the backyard.

said that there were not enough people in the backyard, so let them help bring it back, in fact, every time I went, the steward who bought it would buy several more copies, saying that it was impossible to let them work in vain, and everyone had a share in the brothers who went to carry it.

Things don't look valuable, but they are real, sometimes noodles, sometimes meat, sometimes vinegar and the like, all of which are necessary for every family.

Everyone takes turns to help out a few times, and half of the chewing can be saved at home.

After a few times, who doesn't understand in their hearts, this is the lady looking for a way to supplement them, knowing that their income is fixed, and the life of the family is barely passable, with such a subsidy from the wife, the women in the family say that they have plenty of money, and at the end of the year, they can buy a thick dress for the elderly and children in the family.

Everyone's heart is made of meat, although Lord Song and Mrs. Song, although they don't say it, they can actually do it, they all see it in their eyes.

With such a considerate boss, which subordinate doesn't like it?

Especially compared with the previous one who only knew that he was enjoying it, no matter whether the people below were dead or alive, no one was a masochist, and naturally they all stood on the side of Lord Song.

Otherwise, there was an accident in the racecourse this time, why did Lord Song say that a few of them were on duty at that time, and they followed Lord Song into the racecourse without hesitation?
