There was a sound at the door.
A graceful beauty wearing a smart outfit appeared at the door.
His eyes are full of energy and look forward to his appearance.
"sister!"
Tang Wen opened his arms and walked quickly to the door.
Tang Tang was stunned and took a step back.
"boom!"
The door was slammed shut.
Separate inside and outside.
Tang Wen was dumbfounded and slightly startled.
Outside the door, Tang Tang pressed his eyebrows and muttered: "I must be too busy recently and my eyesight is dazzled. When I opened the door, I seemed to see a brat. Alas!"
He didn't sigh in one breath.
The door opened from the inside, and a familiar yet unfamiliar face quickly enlarged in front of his eyes.
"Um?"
His body stiffened and he was hugged tightly.
"Sister", Tang Wen put his head on her shoulder. He didn't know where to start from many words. After a while, he only squeezed out one sentence: "I'm back."
Since returning to the camp, he has been busy non-stop.
Save the field first, then destroy Black Mountain.
Then I ran to Wujiacheng and stayed for two days.
I only met Tang Tang briefly.
Um? Really back.
He pinched his brother's thick earlobe with his little hand.
"Okay, okay, it'll be good when you're back. Now that you're an adult, how do you feel about holding me?"
Tang Tang let go of his brother's hand and pushed Tang Wen out little by little without hesitation.
Eh?
What about the deep brother-brother love they promised?
When they came to the inner room, the siblings and three maids sat down at the round table.
Tang Wen took out several boxes of rouge gouache from the empty stone.
As expected, women are naturally irresistible to this kind of existence. Even Xiao Taozi kept moving forward, her big eyes shining brightly.
"One for each person."
With that said, Tang Wen divided the points among them.
It's always nice to go home.
The three women received the gifts, and under Tang Tang's command, they got a charcoal pot and cooked tofu and thin slices of frozen beef.
After eating briefly for a while, the three maids took the peach and went back to the room to rest, leaving the rare time for the siblings.
Zhou Bing wouldn't come back until late at night, so the two simply ate and waited.
Tang Tang spoke softly to his younger brother about his experiences over the past year.
Practice martial arts, make meat buns, go hunting...
Speaking of hunting, Tang Wencai suddenly realized that his sister's temperament was indeed different.
More capable and calm.
"Are you in danger when you go hunting?"
Tang Tang's hands holding the vegetables paused, and he hummed: "There's no danger, it's just some exercise."
Tang Wen frowned, feeling conflicted.
On the one hand, I hope my sister is safe and sound.
On the other hand, I hope she has enough ability to protect herself.
In this chaotic world, to have the ability to protect oneself, one must be at least a peak fifth-level person, right?
Well, you also need to be able to move quickly, be able to resist mental attacks, and practice defensive skills.
"In martial arts, sister, you still have to work hard!"
Tang Tang didn't refute, and puffed up his face.
I couldn't protect my younger brother, but was protected by him, which made me feel a little disappointed.
"By the way, the Queen told me a long time ago that [Eight Vajra Skills] should not be spread casually."
"I know. So the Queen has practiced."
"Uh-huh."
The eight-part Vajra Kung Fu has obvious effects on physical and mental enhancement, but it is not easy to practice it to a high level.
Even if you are a Taoist priest who has been practicing for a lifetime.
Not everyone is a Vajra Kung Fu master.
That day against five, the queen's combat power clearly broke through the top six levels and was gradually approaching the fifth level.
But the level of Kaishan Pao Fist obviously couldn't keep up. Once she further mastered the flame technique and transformed into a real fifth-grade, it would be a matter of course.
As for the more advanced flame fist technique, Sihai Camp has it.
But you need to become a seven-star hunter to be eligible for enlightenment.
It is said that the youngest of the seven-star hunters is over a hundred years old.
However, it's good to have hope.
"By the way, this is for you."
Tang Wen took out a large wooden box from the empty stone and placed it on the ground.
The matter of Kongshi was just explained.
"What's this?"
Open the lid of the Tangtang, and the sweet smell comes to your nostrils.
Underneath the wooden lid is kraft paper.
She stretched out her hands to pick up a packet and opened it. The snow-white cubes were surrounded by crushed peanuts and walnuts.
"food?"
Pick one up and examine it under the oil lamp.
With four fingers, he gently broke it and the square curved slightly.
Tangtang said "Eh": "I thought it was crispy."
"Try it." Tang Wen took a sip of the wine, and a line of fire entered his throat, burning down and coming up again.
Tang Tang took the small cube and stuffed it into his mouth, biting it gently.
Released with the sweet taste of milk.
The big eyes blinked again and again, then narrowed with satisfaction: "What is this called?"
she asked vaguely.
"toffee."
"What?" Tang Tang slowly turned his head, looking inexplicably shocked.
toffee?
Doesn’t he have the same name as me?
And she had only eaten yellow maltose.
A small piece of eight pounds of corn.
It was so expensive that she was only willing to buy a few small pieces, one for each person in the family.
She saved two pieces and soaked them in the corn porridge. They were especially sweet.
However, wheat does not grow near the camp, and maltose is hard to come by.
She only bought it once.
Tang Wen bent down, took out a few brown paper bags from the big box, and opened them one by one.
"No, this is rice dumpling candy."
"What are the petals on top?" Her teeth were stuck with toffee.
"Rose, next to it are pine nuts. Because it is shaped like a rice dumpling, it is triangular, so it is called rice dumpling candy."
"Oh," Tang Tang seemed to understand. He took a sip of water and raised his big eyes: "What are zongzi?"
"A sweet made from glutinous rice."
"Sweets? Sugar too?"
"It's not sugar, it's the kind of soft and glutinous white rice wrapped in candied dates."
"Can I eat this kind of candy in the future?"
"It's not sugar."
"Everything sweet is sugar!"
Tang Tang stuffed a rice dumpling candy into his mouth, and the right side of his face immediately puffed up.
"Forget it", Tang Wen took out two other boxes from the empty stone, and in Tang Tang's surprised eyes, he found a dark green rice dumpling and gave it to her.
In the empty stone, objects float and are not affected by time.
The rice dumplings are still slightly steaming.
Tang Tang took it carefully and prepared to bite it.
Tang Wen quickly stopped: "Peel the skin first."
After a few seconds, the rice dumplings came into the mouth, and the young lady’s eyes suddenly widened!
Like a little beast tasting delicious fruit for the first time.
"Oh! This, why is it like this?"
Tang Tang didn't know how to describe her feelings.
There were footsteps outside the door.
Tang Tang hurriedly swallowed the last bite of the rice dumpling. Before he could swallow it, his cheeks were bulging and he danced: "Quickly, put it away, put it away."
Tang Wengang was ready to do so.
She regretted it again: "No, no, Sister Bing has never eaten these candies."
"What haven't I eaten?"
Straight and slender legs stepped into the bedroom, and when he saw Tang Wen, his almond-shaped eyes suddenly brightened.
Zhou Bing walked in with his body covered with wind and snow.
The temperature inside the house dropped slightly.
"Is it snowing again?" Tang Tang didn't pay attention to the outside.
"Well, it's a little bigger than last time." Zhou Bing took off his coat, wearing only a short top that reached his waist, which made his waist more slender and his legs slender.
She sat down next to Tang Wen.
Tang Wen held her cold palm, and Tang Tang handed over a toffee.
A few seconds later, Zhou Bing also narrowed his eyes happily.
The sweet taste is really rare.
The heavy snow outside is falling more quickly.
The cockroaches hit the doors and windows.
The lights in the house flickered, the coals in the stove were red, and it was as warm as spring.
Tang Wen was eating meat, watching his sister and "Ke Fu's" widowed girlfriend happily eating candies and chatting.
"Wow!"
The door was pushed brutally open.
Except for Tang Wen, both women were shocked.
"What?" Before Zhou Bing could say the word "What", Zhou Bing's clenched fists unclenched again.
"Ah la la! Okay, you guys can eat delicious food secretly behind my back!" The red figure stood at the door.
Her long black hair was dotted with crystal ice and snow, and she was holding a gourd in her hand.
The Queen in Red——Xia Qingge!
With a wave of red sleeves, the door closed tightly.
Xia Qingge sat down next to Zhou Bing and picked up a piece of white toffee with ease: "Hmm! It tastes good."
"Crunch, crunch..."
"Is this toffee?"
One piece after another, in the blink of an eye, half of the toffee was missing.
Tang Wen looked at Tang Tang.
As expected, my sister had already frowned deeply, bulging her cheeks and looking dissatisfied at the Queen who was eating so much!
Wow!
Zhou Bing re-wrapped the toffee in brown paper.
"Tsk! Stingy."
The queen looked at the rice dumplings, and with a burst of mental energy, the skins of the rice dumplings fell off one after another, and they flew towards her in a hurry.
Zhou Bing put away the rice dumplings.
Fruit candies, candied fruits...
The battle to defend the candy begins.
In order not to be affected, Tang Wen took out a jar of bamboo leaves and green leaves.
Snapped!
When you pat open the mud, the aroma of wine overflows.
As if feeling attraction, Xia Qingge turned her head instantly before she could swallow her mouthful of food.
"What wine?"
"Ten years of aging." Tang Wen poured himself a glass.
Xia Qingge's eyes were bright. She reached out and took away Tang Wen's wine glass. She put it in front of her nose and took a deep sniff: "You can't control this wine. Let me taste the authenticity first."
Tang Wen's mouth twitched.
If you want to drink, just say you want to drink. How can you taste the truth?
Our camp is extremely poor. You used to drink sweet potato roast, but now you can taste the authenticity.
He raised his slender white neck and drank it all in one gulp.
“Good wine!”
Putting down the cup, she couldn't wait to pick up the jar and fill it up for herself.
Xia Qingge looked at Tang Wen: "Do you still have this wine?"
The latter shook his head and said nothing.
So, when Zhou Bing reached out to drink, she blocked her back.
"Children, what kind of strong liquor do you want to drink? Here, don't you have some rice wine? Drink it quickly, otherwise it will get cold."
Zhou Bing is not used to this unrelated aunt: "Haha, two days ago, I was arguing that the braised rice was tasteless and that I wanted to drink old rice wine. How many days have it been?"
She picked up Xia Qingge's wine gourd and smelled it, and said angrily: "It seems to be roasted sweet potatoes! It's not even as good as rice wine!"
Xia Qingge acted as if she hadn't heard anything. She picked up the jar and drank from it. When she put the jar down, a layer of mist appeared in her beautiful eyes.
The pretty face is white, and the red glow suddenly appears.
Like an epiphyllum blooming at night.
"Is this a drink for Shancheng?"
Xia Qingge has a very forthright personality.
She has never looked like a noble and noble queen.
She is more like a beautiful female boss who is loyal and leads the brothers to join the club.
Tang Wen nodded: "Well, Ganshan City has fertile fields to grow food for brewing. For example, sorghum and rice. There are also special mountain springs for brewing."
Xia Qingge protected the jar, raised her chin, and asked with squinted eyes: "It seems that Gianshan City produces a lot of food."
"The major forces in the inner city and the outer city naturally have a lot of food. And the major subordinate camps? It's good if they don't starve to death."
She asked again: "Then no one will rebel?"
"No matter how many rabbits there are, they can't kill the wolves." Tang Wen looked calm.
"So, you don't want our camp to join the mountain city?"
"That's right, that's not called joining, that's called defecting or selling one's body. It can be seen as taking the initiative to come to someone's door and working as a slave!"
Xia Qingge narrowed her eyes and clicked her tongue.
Tang Tang and Zhou Bing listened silently without interrupting.
Now that Zhou Bing is on his own, Tang Tang has also begun to learn management.
Only when you become a householder and do something do you realize how difficult it is.
Taking food as an example, ordinary farmers in the camp cannot be allowed to starve to death.
The patrolling guards need to be well fed.
Children are the future and hope. The subsidized meal in night school must be thick corn rice. Eat to grow your body.
But a severe drought has reduced production, and we don’t know how much food we can produce next year.
If the food is distributed, it will definitely not be enough.
So, who are the people who don’t have enough to eat?
The final survey found that people who are older and have the next generation eat the least, either actively or passively.
"With a few more snows, maybe next year will be better."
Tang Wen shook his head: "The food supply still cannot be relaxed. What if there is still a severe drought later?"
"Bah, bah, bah!" Tang Tang clasped his hands together and looked at the roof: "Children can't speak well. God will definitely rain next year."
After saying that, she glared at her brother: "Okay, I won't talk about this today."
The two women kept asking about things in the mountain city, and the four of them ate and chatted.
Xia Qingge drank half of the wine and was reluctant to finish it.
She first boiled the sweet potatoes in the wine gourd and poured them into the wine pot.
After rinsing it with ice water, I carefully poured the remaining half of the jar of bamboo leaves into the gourd.
The quiet and careful look is uniquely beautiful.
Tick tock.
She shook the jar, and with her super control, skillfully poured the last few drops of wine into the gourd.
Tang Tang and Tang Tang were also infected by her, with slightly nervous eyes.
It wasn't until she saw that she had poured it all out that she breathed a sigh of relief silently.
when!
The table shook.
Xia Qingge quickly stabilized the gourd and looked over with an evil look.
"You brat, what do you want... eh? There's another altar?" Regardless of the image, Xia Qingge jumped over the table, and with a flick of her straight legs, she landed between Tang Wen and the table. in the gap.
One hand is holding the precious gourd, and the other hand is holding down the unopened wine jar.
Tang Wen's hands were still on the table, and the two of them were almost intimate.
It looked like Tang Wen stopped her with his arms and held her in his arms in a sitting position.
Xia Qingge is not thin, she is tall and plump.
What's even worse is that she is wearing a skirt today.
The person fell down, but the red dress was still in the air.
To be precise, the hem of the skirt hung between Tang Wen's arms.
This time, I saw everything that should be seen and shouldn't be seen.
He blinked and quickly raised his head: I didn't expect that it was also red inside. How much do you love red!
And those legs are like slender jade pillars, and they are standard "wine glass" legs.
If you put on stockings, hiss!
It’s exciting just to think about it.
Xia Qingge protected the wine jar, her waist gently swinging inadvertently, and Tang Wen's expression changed.
There was a harsh sound and the chair scraped against the ground.
He evacuated the friction area in time.
"Isn't it gone?" Xia Qingge said in surprise, her smile as bright as a summer flower.
Tang Wen narrowed his eyes: "The ten years are gone, this is the fifteen years."
"You brat! Is there more?"
Tang Wen shook his head: "Drinking can easily cause trouble. When you break through the fifth level, you will have enough wine!"
"Ha! You are so boastful."
She turned around, flicked her sleeves, and picked up the unopened wine jar.
The red skirt fell down, covering her legs.
Tang Wen felt lost for a while: "On the territory under my jurisdiction, there is more than one camp dedicated to wine making!"
The queen's eyes suddenly burst into light, her back straightened, and her aura became even more majestic.
Even with wine in both hands, he is still elegant. Coupled with his stunning beauty, he even has a bit more freedom and domineering: "I feel that I can break through to the fifth level at any time. As much wine as you have, just take it." Come out!"
"Haha, maybe you can do it in your dream. Well, it's getting late, so I'll go to bed first."
After saying that, Tang Wenzhen walked towards the bed in the back room.
It's almost dawn and I can't sleep without sleeping.
Only in his dream could he receive the news from Ganshan City.
