The countryside at this time is as beautiful as a painting!
The creek is gurgling, chickens and dogs are crowing, and the villagers are in harmony.
Because of the hospitality of the Wang family, Liu Jixing and his party decided to stay here today. In fact, it was Liu Jixing who wanted to stay and relax. Although he was worried about Pan Chongche coming after him at first, after such a long distance, Pan Chongche should not be so ignorant.
After getting it out of Huan Huan's mouth, he and Ouyang Tong planned to kill the black pig in Old Man Wang's house. Liu Jixing scolded her severely and told her that this was the most valuable thing in Old Man Wang's family. If everyone's greed deprives others of their income, what's the difference between them and bullies?
Hearing what Liu Jixing said, Huan Huan deeply reflected on herself and immediately kept a certain distance from Ouyang Tong. But she asked Liu Jixing, was this black pork particularly delicious? Liu Jixing was slightly stunned and asked her who told her. Huanhuan said aggrievedly that Ouyang Tong said you told him yourself. Looking at Huanhuan, Liu Jixing really couldn't help but smile, because he did tell Ouyang Tong this.
Because at this time, not many people in the world eat pork. Just like southerners rarely eat mutton in later generations, even if they eat it occasionally, there is no good way to do it. In addition, ordinary people don’t have enough to eat at this time, so how can they afford to raise a pig?
Liu Jixing immediately promised Huanhuan that if he settled in Prince Xing's Mansion, he would raise some black pigs for Huanhuan so that Huanhuan would have meat to eat every day. Hearing Liu Jixing's promise, Huan Huan left with a smile on her face.
Ouyang Tong naturally knew that Liu Jixing had many tricks, but seeing the seriousness of what he said, he did not dare to come and make fun of him. What's more, he knew clearly that Liu Jixing had discovered through the trick between him and Huan Huan, so it was hard for him to get into trouble and get scolded.
Because they decided to stay for a while, and since they were not far from the county, Yuan Shihou and several others were ordered to follow Chen Shi to the county in the afternoon and bought some supplies for everyone.
Liu Jixing also liked the scenery and leisure here very much, because he saw that there were a lot of bamboos in the mountains, so in the afternoon, he took the rest of the people to the mountainside and cut down a lot of bamboos. Although everyone didn't know Liu Jixing's intention, they were very interested after seeing his skills in making tables and stools. Liu Jixing didn't mean to hide it, so he said that it would be inconvenient for the Wang family if everyone stayed here today, so he wanted to build a unique house.
Because he knew that people like Liu Jixing were not ordinary people, Wang Xu did not question Liu Jixing's statement too much. But because this kind of thing was too impossible, Wang Xu and several neighbors didn't talk much and just followed the helpers.
But when everyone came to the mountainside, they were all stunned when they saw that Liu Jixing and Ouyang Tong both cut down a bamboo with one knife. And several neighbors heard that these people were not ordinary people. When they saw a big tree that was more than a foot thick, and it was a dead tree, Liu Jixing also cut it off with a single slash. Everyone couldn't help but gasp. Within a short time, he got a lot of bamboo wood, and he didn't show much surprise afterwards.
Liu Jixing, on the other hand, did all the hard work, carrying about a hundred large bamboos in a bundle, and carried them on his shoulders alone.
These villagers regarded Liu Jixing as a god and called him a man of great power. Liu Jixing just smiled, because he knew that these villagers only believed in reality, so there was no need to show anything else. The innate power of this body alone could shock many people in this era. But if the old Liu family of Prince Xing's Mansion knew that the emperor was working hard for these people, how would they feel in the future.
Naturally, these people didn't know that the young man rolling up his sleeves and working with them was actually their emperor. Even many years later, when they learned about the original incident, they only regarded it as a myth, and the story was still passed down many generations later.
Because he saw a bluestone more than two meters high and two feet flat next to Wang's house, Liu Jixing had thoughts about this bluestone. I borrowed the bamboo scabbard sword from Yuan Shihou, and started slashing at the bluestone, cutting the originally relatively flat bluestone into a flat square.
Then he dug several deep pits around the bluestone, cut the wood into square wooden pillars, and planted them deeply. Liu Jixing then built the pillars and beams according to the style of stilt houses in later Miao areas.
Marquis Yuan watched Liu Jixing holding his sword, chopping stones and wood, and felt a burst of pain standing next to Ouyang Tong. He didn't have the nerve to open his mouth, but looking at that expression made him even more uncomfortable.
Ouyang Tong looked at him but smiled and said: "Don't feel bad. Although your sword is good, the old man thinks that this gentleman will not be short of this kind of goods. As long as you dare to speak, you will probably have eight out of ten." It shouldn’t be a problem!”
"Junior will understand!" Yuan Shihou said with a smile. Being able to follow Ouyang Tong, Yuan Shihou thought it was the most correct choice for him in these years. So when Ouyang Tong said this, he undoubtedly gained a layer of protection. Marquis Yuan was elated, but still had a smile on his face. Seeing Liu Jixing holding a sword, gouging out eyes and cutting falcons, she wished Liu Jixing could use it a little longer.
Here Wang Xu was just helping Liu Jixing with his neighbors. He had long admired Liu Jixing. When he saw a frame built by Liu Jixing on the bluestone, he finally understood what Liu Jixing was doing. After all, there are many stilt houses in the county. Although they are somewhat different from those built by Liu Jixing, I couldn't help but get excited when I thought of such a house being built next to my home.
With everyone's hope and help, Liu Jixing built a stilted building next to the thatched house as dusk approached!
This is a huge building made mainly of wood and supplemented by bamboo. The rooms on one side all have stone floors and are decorated with bamboo tubes. There is a small room on one side with a wooden floor as the floor, and a utility room suspended underneath. There is a large flat staircase that can go up directly to the room.
Looking at his proud work, Liu Jixing asked Old Man Wang somewhat proudly: "What do you think of this house?"
"Beautiful and practical! But the old man is still dreaming. A house was built in one afternoon?" Old man Wang still couldn't help but look at his son. Even though it was placed in front of him, he still couldn't believe it.
Wang Xu was talking to an old man. He was an elder of the Wang family in Linwu and a prestigious person in the direct line of the Wang family. Because I heard from villagers that there was too much noise in the Wang family in the afternoon, and there seemed to be people from outside, the old man named Wang Liangjian came to take a look in person.
When he came over, the house had already come to an end, so he didn't see Liu Jixing's hands-on work. But he naturally knew the situation of Old Han Wang's family. When he saw these outsiders casually building a house for the Wang family, he was naturally surprised and thoughtful.
After all, Wang Xu went to make a living in the copper mines, but the Wang family had more or less respect, and even he himself had said so. At this time, the Wang family actually repaired the house, and he naturally thought that someone from the copper mine was helping. Seeing that everyone was surrounding the young man Liu Jixing, he naturally wanted to ask Wang Xu carefully about the reasons.
Liu Jixing didn't pay much attention to this well-dressed old man. Hearing that Old Man Wang said he was a brother of his family, and seeing that the other person had no intention of getting acquainted with him, he didn't bother to get close to him. You must know that although Liu Jixing is easy-going, he has been sitting in Prince Xing's Mansion for almost two years. If the aura in his body is not hidden, he still has some magnanimity after all.
"Brother Qingnu, after such a beautiful house has been repaired, shouldn't we celebrate?" Huanhuan came closer and asked Liu Jixing with a smile.
"That's natural!" Liu Jixing held Huan Huan's hand proudly, but looked at Marquis Yuan aside. Because he had already ordered Shi Yan to go to the mountains, just so that after the house was built, he could bring back game for everyone to celebrate.
"There are tigers, there are tigers!" Before Yuan Shihou could speak, he heard some women screaming. Everyone couldn't help but panic after hearing this, but when they looked up, they breathed a sigh of relief.
It turned out that Shi Yan was actually carrying a tiger and dragging a big wild boar, striding towards this side of the mountain path quickly. At this time, the sun was setting in the west, and Shi Yan looked so majestic, as if a god descended to earth, it was really awe-inspiring!
"What a treat, what a treat!" Ouyang Tong laughed and pulled Old Man Wang over to greet him.
"Could this strong man be a god from heaven?" Old Man Wang was naturally dumbfounded. Although he had seen tigers in his life, it was many years ago that a fire broke out in the mountains one year. Some wild animals suffered disaster and fled into Linwu. They were killed by the county. The agents teamed up to kill him. But it still hurt people at that time, and Old Man Wang still remembers it now.
Shi Yan threw the old insect on the ground, and everyone realized that it weighed about five or six hundred kilograms, and the wild boar was no less than four or five hundred kilograms. Someone made a bet and said that when our neighbors came over to lift them, they found that the tiger weighed more than 600 kilograms and the wild boar weighed nearly 400 kilograms. For a time, Old Man Wang's house became lively.
Wang Xu came over here and told Liu Jixing that his elder Wang Liangjian wanted to get to know him, and he also wanted to invite Wang Zhengjian, the patriarch of Linwu's clan, to come to the Wang family. Liu Jixing saw that Wang Liangjian was smiling slightly. Although there was no flattery, his expression was much friendly. Liu Jixing originally didn't want to get involved with these people, but when he saw Huarui and Chen getting along affectionately, and the two of them smiling together all the time, he didn't interfere with Wang Xu's handling of these matters.
Not to mention that Wang Xu sent people and Wang Lianjian's entourage to go to the county to invite Wang Zhengjian, the head of the Wang family, and at the same time sent people to invite his immediate superior in the box. There was a strong neighbor here who helped Yuan to wait for these people. They came together to build a large oven in the Wang family's yard and piled a pile of firewood because Liu Jixing said he wanted to hold a bonfire!
Although I didn't know what bonfire activity Liu Jixing was talking about, when I saw Liu Jixing skillfully peeling off tiger and wild boar skins, I knew that this was a long-term master. Not to mention how much meat there was, just by Liu Jixing taking out the internal organs of the two big guys, it was enough for Granny Wang to fill two large wooden basins with smiles from ear to ear.
