Looking for the ebb of the tide in the eternal wilderness, I hear thunder rising from the plains in the sky.
A spring breeze blows through my heart, and when the wind calms down, my worries fade away.
Liu Yi stood there, struggling in his heart, and finally decided: As soon as it comes, let's make peace with it and see the situation first.
So, he calmed down and said to Uncle Li and Second Master Wang with a smile, "I'd like to trouble you two grandpas to lead the way. I will be happy to share the joy with these two grandpas."
Under the guidance of Mr. Wang, four people, two elders and two young ones, came to the edge of the cliff close to Houlonggang. A huge towering rock stood on the corner of the cliff. They bypassed the huge rock and suddenly a soft ladder appeared. One end of the soft ladder is pressed under the boulder, and the other end goes straight to the bottom of the cliff.
Liu Yi was extremely smart and immediately asked, "Grandpas, is there a cave under the cliff?"
Mr. Wang smiled and took the lead to go down the stairs. Uncle Li nodded gently to Liu Yi. Liu Yi and Qiao Miaoqing looked at each other and followed, and finally Uncle Li.
Just after descending a few steps, the clanging sound of chiseling came from below the four of them. After descending a few more steps, Mr. Wang said "jump quickly" and disappeared from the sight of the three of them. .
Uncle Li at the back of the palace laughed and cursed, "What an old man, you still like to play exciting things!"
Liu Yi felt surprised in his heart. He went down to the place where Mr. Wang disappeared and finally saw clearly the unique cave in the cliff.
On the outer edge of the cliff, the Houlonggang villagers forcibly carved out a space three feet deep, more than eight feet high, and very wide. Some young men were continuing to dig and extend to both sides, while women and children rolled up their trouser legs and spread some black soil on the outer edge of the cliff. On the ground, Liu Yi happily inserted the bell-arrow seedlings into the middle and outer sides of the narrow space. Liu Yi took a quick look and saw that there were hundreds of bell-arrow seedlings in the space.
When everyone saw Liu Yi, they stopped working and gathered around him affectionately.
"Last year, relying on my little benefactor's guidance, the villagers in the nearby villages and hills relied on bell arrow grass and purple quartz to have enough food and clothing. We are all grateful to our little benefactor!"
After Mr. Wang finished speaking, he bowed his hands and bowed. When the others saw Mr. Wang thanking Liu Yi, they all bowed in return. 33
"No, no, no, Second Master Wang, fellow villagers, please be polite and call me Yi'er. Wouldn't it cost this junior to live long with such a great gift?"
Liu Yi, who was leaning against the escalator, hurriedly helped Mr. Wang up from collapse. Just as he was about to continue his polite greetings, a sweet shout came from behind him. Liu Yi looked up and saw Qiao Miaoqing's beautiful and sweet face still on the escalator. Angrily, a pair of beautiful eyes were waiting for him, scolding, "Liu Yi, get over here quickly, uncle Li and I are still hanging!"
Everyone laughed!
The spring breeze blew green, and the spring clouds reflected the green. Mr. Wang and Mr. Li took Liu Yi and Qiao Miaoqing for a circle, and the four of them returned to the village. Mr. Wang specially took out the wine he had saved during the Spring Festival and was reluctant to drink. The tea was so good that Uncle Li rolled his eyes and said sarcastically, "You old man, I've been begging you for so long and you haven't even given me anything. When my little benefactor came, you gave me everything. Really. , the brothers who have been together for so many years have lost their virginity!”
While making tea, Mr. Wang gave Uncle Li a disgusted look and said angrily, "You are such a bumpkin, and you still want to compete with your little benefactor? You don't realize it."
Uncle Li was not angry, but laughed and said, "Old man, I have taken advantage of my little benefactor!"
But the host could be a drunken guest, and he didn't know where he was from. Liu Yi was moved by the sincerity of Uncle Li and Mr. Wang, and he couldn't help it. But soon, his warm smile like spring gradually became a little unnatural, and casually Under the shouts of Uncle Li and Second Master Wang, he gradually felt on pins and needles, and his heart slowly fell to the bottom.
The folks in Houlonggang treat me with sincerity, but I must not treat them with cunning.
Regarding the matter of Pingtian, I will try my best to let him make noises through the forest rain. But if the big thing fails, it is my fate. I can't blame others or harm others.
Liu Yi decided to leave immediately after dinner and asked Chisong villagers to join the army to support him. Until then, he never mentioned it.
The rising sun was dancing in front of the wind, and Liu Yi was thinking about it. The two old men beside him began to talk happily.
Liu Yi came back to his senses and looked at Uncle Li. He saw that Uncle Li was wrapped in old linen clothes, but his face was filled with infinite grace. He said with a smile, "My little benefactor once said that bell arrow grass always grows in the half-yin and half-yang area." "During the Chinese New Year, we old men from Zhaigang got together and had a good discussion. Finally, based on the nature of this animal, we came up with the bad idea of setting up a field among the cliffs to cultivate bell arrow grass!"
Uncle Li became more and more enthusiastic as he talked, and finally he couldn't help but put his hands on his hands and laughed, "The wild bell arrow grass will eventually be harvested, so it's better to carve out a piece of land for yourself and ensure the harvest despite droughts and floods."
Liu Yi responded in a timely manner, "Jiang is still old, and the two grandfathers are far-sighted and far-sighted, which is beyond Yi'er's reach!"
No matter how old a person is, they all like to be complimented. Uncle Li was praised appropriately by Liu Yi. His wrinkled face suddenly burst into laughter and he said enthusiastically, "My dear benefactor, you don't know. Ah! Plant the bell-arrow grass in the cliff. This is a half-yin and half-yang place. The bell-arrow grass can grow more vigorously, and it can also prevent some unscrupulous people from coming to commit theft! Haha, how about, kill two birds with one stone? ?”
Seeing the satisfied expressions on the two old men's faces, Liu Yi suddenly didn't want to say anything else. These simple and kind villagers should not have been involved in a war that had nothing to do with them.
Liu Yi put aside all his worries and became more easy-going. He chatted with the two old men for a long time with a smile.
After three cups of tea, Mr. Wang patted Liu Yi on the shoulder and said, "My dear benefactor, don't look at me. I'm still the same as before. I can't even afford a piece of meat. That's because all the money I earned from last year to now is all I bought the black soil below. You have to know that the attachment of the Han people to the land is engraved in my bones! When this crop of bell arrow grass is sold, the old man will come again, and the old man will treat the young benefactor to eat beef fillings. Dumplings. Haha!”
"What is taboo in creation is skillful in carving; all kinds of people can relate to each other and be sincere and loyal." Liu Yi said with emotion, "For people like the two elders who live with their heart, the emperor and empress will definitely not let down the hearts of the people. I believe that the people of Houlonggang Life will be prosperous."
After taking a nap for a while, Liu Yi stood up and said his words, his face expressionless.
At this time, Qiao Miaoqing's eyebrows showed a troubled expression. She looked at Liu Yi hesitantly and hesitated to speak.
Seeing this, the two elders immediately started to argue. Just when Liu Yi was about to go out, Mr. Wang grabbed Liu Yi and asked seriously, "My dear benefactor, is it possible that something is difficult and we need these old bones to come out?" Contribute?"
"Haha! Nothing, nothing. I'm just nostalgic and wanted to come over and take a look. The spring breeze is so good, how could there be any discomfort? Haha!"
Liu Yi prevaricated, then held the junior ceremony and prepared to leave the stronghold.
As soon as she stepped out of the village gate, Qiao Miaoqing puffed up her cheeks and said angrily, "Brother Yi, it's hard to tell because of human feelings, so it's better for me to tell you."
Just as the little girl turned around, Li and Wang had already grabbed Liu Yi's arms and asked seriously again, "Little benefactor, I am a mortal with the most kind heart. You are in trouble, and you don't want to drag me down. We are old bones. You can still see it. But the dawn of Houlonggang was given to me by my little benefactor. We are just ordinary people. No one knows our life and death. If our little benefactor needs us for something, we will naturally want to Return the peaches and plums, come, sit down and say, child, speak slowly."
When Liu Yi cried out "child", he couldn't hold back the tears and burst out of his eyes.
After traveling north to Bozhou for several months, everyone regarded him as the leader and backbone. Only the two old men in front of him regarded him as a child who still needed the love of his parents.
At this time, Qiao Miaoqing finally realized that Liu Yi was only thirteen years old.
It's really admirable that a thirteen-year-old child has the courage to bear such a heavy burden.
Suddenly, the little girl's beautiful and sweet face seemed to turn crimson, and a pair of shy bright eyes were shining, staring at Liu Yi's side face, refusing to leave.
You are facing the mountains and rivers, and I am facing the mountains and rivers. How wonderful!
You have lived up to your youth, and I don’t really want to live up to you either.
...
Sitting down again, Liu Yi calmed down and finally told the story of Pingtian after the flood. Finally, he talked about the massacre of Gongyangzhai and the bloody battle in the wilderness. Hearing the screams of the two elders, the two elders gritted their teeth and were filled with indignation.
After Liu Yi came clean, the two old men already knew the purpose of Liu Yi's trip. The two people who had a tacit understanding looked at each other and nodded. Uncle Li said sincerely, "Child, the darkness will always swallow everything, but the sun is still there. You can come back again, and the reason why you can come back is because there are always some young people like you who will come here with the sunshine on their backs. Look, I, Houlonggang, were originally poor, but now, haven't we made some improvements?"
The Second Master Wang continued, "My little benefactor, both in public and private matters, we two old men should give our fullest help. If we don't use our old bones to be of some use, we can push a good boy like you to the top." , wouldn’t that be very cowardly?”
Uncle Li pressed Liu Yi's shoulders with a pair of rough old hands. The old man said swornly, "My dear benefactor, please stay here for a few days. After a few days, I will inform the nearby Ershan Qizhai of this matter." Twelve posts, when the time comes, they will definitely send their respective representatives to Houlonggang to discuss matters, and then the little benefactor can express his ambition. "
The Second Master Wang smiled and said, "As for whether it can be accomplished, it depends on my little benefactor! However, don't worry, my little benefactor, I, the hundred or so people from Houlonggang, will definitely support it to the end!"
Liu Yi was deeply moved by the warmth he received from the two old men during the third winter. He stood up in a hurry and saluted, "The two old men are so moral and heroic that Yi will never forget them."
That night, Beihai, who had been digging rocks under the cliff for a day, galloped out of the village for the first time.
...
Different from other prefectures and counties, the five mountains, eighteen villages and thirty-six hills in Chisong County actually have no subordinate relationship. Those built according to the mountains are called mountains, those built along the roads are called villages, those built according to the hills are called hills. Those built according to the number of people are called hills. It's more lively, less crowded and more deserted, that's all.
On March 29, a group of old people gathered in Houlonggang. The small midfield suddenly became cramped and lively.
Liu Yi did not dress up to greet him. He only wore a plain shirt and waited at the gate of the village.
Bullying others with power is the method of an incompetent person. When treating his elders, Liu Yi showed the humility of a junior.
Therefore, the good impression of this child was set from the moment the person in charge of each village stepped into the village gate. Uncle Li and Mr. Wang praised him in the audience, what "Quzhou" The names of the son of the leader of the "Three Heroes", the talented man who plotted the mutiny in western Liaoning, the hero who avenged Gongyangzhai, etc. were all added to Liu Yi one by one, which made all the elders look up to him with admiration.
People depend on their clothes, and their reputation depends on their packaging. As expected!
Some people died, but not completely...
