Because of Nong Zhigao's suspicion, Liang Chuan and Anong had no choice but to go down the mountain to take charge of the overall situation.
Out of sight, out of mind, Nong Zhigao doesn't want Liang Chuan to get too involved in the gold mine on the mountain. He now regards this mine as his biggest reliance, and only with it can he realize his ambitions.
He hid this mine very deeply. Huang Shimi stayed in Guangyuan for several days, but he didn't have any clues about this mine.
In his opinion, the more people who know, the more dangerous the mine becomes!
After Liangchuan went down the mountain, he was even happier, because although the mountain was relatively safe, the various conditions were inconvenient after all.
The most direct thing is convenience. No matter who is in the cave, except for one Nong Zhigao who has the privilege, no one else is allowed to use it in the cave. The wind is so strong in winter that I will lose sleep after I go out. I have to suffer this every day. , Liang Chuan has long gone crazy!
Ah Yue doesn't want to stay in the mountains forever, being too close to Nong Zhigao, the birdman, and he still can't let go. This kid can even attack his father, and he has no affection for a child. .
Therefore, when Nong Zhigao offered to let Liang Chuan go down the mountain to manage these Han people, Liang Chuan was very reluctant, but without any delay, he immediately packed his luggage and led the rouge horse down the mountain.
Wu Mantun followed Liang Chuan, and it was not suitable to stay in the mountains. His life experience was not suitable for life in the mountains. When he first went up the mountain, he was ill for several days because of the acclimatization and soil conditions. Fortunately, people from the Women's Federation went to the mountains to collect a lot of herbs and boiled them. He cured his illness and saved his life.
The mountains in Guangnan were regarded as scourges by ancient scholars. To be an official here, one would almost have to be determined to die. Most of their bodies were weak and could not withstand the devastation of the tigers, wolves, water and soil here, and they could be overcome by pulling a few times. Their dehydration and diarrhea usually come on very quickly. Sometimes even the doctor doesn't have time to prescribe medicine, and the person will die!
In short, going down the mountain is a good thing for Liangchuan!
The space inside the cave was too small. Sometimes he would look left and right even if he wanted to be 'considerate' with Anon, but he was afraid of being looked at by others.
The terrible words of people reached Nong Zhigao's ears, but his brother-in-law was fulfilling his father's duties, and the gods would not tolerate it.
When he came to the foot of the mountain, he found a place with mountains and water on his back, and asked Wu Mantun to find a few Han people to build a bungalow according to the two-in-one layout.
He plans to live with Anon.
Yes, he is worried about Anon living alone outside. The world is not peaceful now. Although she has the title of a toast lady, some people don't care about this and can do anything if they go crazy.
Liang Chuan and Anong are now called siblings. At least they have a reason to live together. They built two rooms with two entrances and a wing on the left and right. They placed themselves and Wu Mantun in the wing. Anong can live in the main hall and can help take care of Ah Nong. Moon, kill two birds with one stone!
Wu Mantun originally wanted to ask a few people to do volunteer work for Liang Chuan, but Liang Chuan refused to take advantage of others. He didn't know where to find a lot of money, enough to build a beautiful house!
This money was hidden by Liang Chuan before going up the mountain when he arrived in Guangyuan.
I went to Dali with my Nong brothers. He made a lot of money. He used to keep it on his body, but later he knew that he would run into trouble here. Besides, there was no place to spend money in Guangyuan, so he simply found a place to hide. I hid the money somewhere, and now that I'm down the mountain, it actually comes in handy again.
He earned this money himself, and there is no burden at all on using it.
If you have money, you can do things very efficiently at any time.
Those few pennies were an astronomical amount of money in Guangyuan. Ordinary people's income was only a few pennies, and they couldn't save so much money in a year. Moreover, Liang Chuan's requirements were not high, just a mud-thatched house like theirs. , the only difference is that the area is a little larger.
It was in the style of a traditional Han house, in a circle, with the main door leading into the left and right wing rooms, a screen wall in the front, and the main hall at the back.
All the land belonging to the Nong family belongs to the Liangchuan family, so the land that used to build the house is gone. Most of the other materials used to build the house are mud and wood that can be found everywhere, as well as thatch for the roof, which is just floor tiles. After firing for a longer time, Liang Chuan also specifically requested that floor tiles be laid, otherwise he would be allowed to step directly on the soil with his bare feet. How could he bear the feeling!
Before the Nong people came down from the mountain, the Han family built a new town in Guangyuan at lightning speed. It was this speed that made Liang Chuan look at them with admiration.
The first day Wu Mantun got the money, he summoned a group of Han craftsmen, and a prototype of the foundation had been dug out.
According to these craftsmen, as long as it is not a tile-roofed house, building a thatched house is like playing, it is very fast.
After almost three days, his house was almost capped. This speed shocked everyone, because Liang Chuan built the largest house in Guangyuan. Of course, he was the uncle of the chieftain, so living in such a house was not excessive at all.
His house had not yet been built, and Liang Chuan suddenly found that the enthusiasm of these Han people for doing things had weakened.
Looking again, they ran home from time to time. Every household pulled two pieces of red paper and ran to Wu Mantun's house.
Everyone in his house has crossed the threshold these days!
'Is there any happy event in your family recently? '
'Haha, Brother Di, maybe the Han people don't understand the customs of us Han people. We Han people have to prepare for the New Year. They all come to my house and ask me to help them write Spring Festival couplets! '
The price of a couplet is only one penny, but this is their most festive act. They put it on the door of their house with the word "Fu". Who doesn't hope for a good future in the coming year?
Not many of these Hakkas know how to read. Wu Mantun is considered a big intellectual among them. In the past, it would cost another penny to buy a written couplet on the street. Wu Mantun said that as long as he has pen and ink, he will give all the money. Neighbors write Spring Festival couplets for free!
There really was a family whose ancestors also produced a scholar. They left behind several volumes of poems and a pair of calligraphy treasures in the study room. It was useless to keep them at home, so they gave them to Wu Mantun to write Spring Festival couplets!
'People don't know how old they are in the mountains, but one year is wasted and spring comes again! Liang Chuan sighed to himself, "It's Chinese New Year!" I don’t know what customs Nong people have during the New Year!
Liang Chuan went to ask Anong. For them, the Han family's New Year is really not their festival.
For them, the dragon raises its head on February 2 every year and the Folk Song Festival on March 3 is more like the Chinese New Year. At this time, their young people will organize singing parties to make friends with each other through singing.
It's just that in recent years, Guangyuan has never organized a decent singing concert due to the war.
There used to be a lot of Han people in Guangyuan Prefecture, but at that time they rarely paid attention to how Han people celebrated the New Year.
This year, there are countless more Han people in Guangyuan, and the entire Guangyuan has almost become a sea of red. Rich families can spend a few more dollars to hang up a few red lanterns. No matter how good they are, they can also buy a hanging firecracker to grow up. It starts at the beginning of the new year and will be released again on the 30th day of the new year.
If the economy is poor, like many ordinary people, they buy a pair of red papers, go to Wu Mantun's house to line up, and ask him to help write a couplet, which can be considered as adding to the joy of the New Year!
Among these thousands of people, not every Han family has a home and a piece of land that can be cultivated like people of later generations.
They just benefited from Liang Chuan's care and encountered an unreasonable chieftain like Nong Quanfu. As long as they dared to come to Guangyuan to grab land, they dared to let him leave this place.
Even their livelihood is a problem. For them, the Chinese New Year is nothing more than an ordinary day that is dispensable.
Liang Chuan was finally touched on this day.
It turns out that he is still a Han Chinese at heart.
On days like this, he still thought of his original family and looked up. No matter how hard it was, people had put down their work to prepare for the festival. He was still busy. His family only had one Anong and one Ayue. I don’t dare to celebrate the festival openly because I am afraid that others will doubt my identity!
Damn it, what on earth did you come to this world for?
The working people all know to give themselves a holiday!
do not care!
Liang Chuan stayed at Wu Mantun's house and borrowed an iron pot from him. Then he asked Lao Mazi and asked their hunting team to hunt some fresh wild animals in the mountains. He also asked people from the Women's Federation to help him go into the mountains to collect some. New fungi, wild vegetables.
Liang Chuan rarely asked them for these things, so they worked extra hard to help Liang Chuan get these private goods.
Wu Mantun is good at writing, but not good at cooking.
He is nearly 40 years old and has not yet found a wife. For a scholar without fame, if his family background is not good, his later life will be miserable. Wu Mantun is an example.
Every year when every family reunites, Wu Mantun also spends it alone. This year is a little better. Liang Chuan brought Anon and Ah Yue to Wu's house to celebrate the New Year at his place.
Liang Chuan's arrival surprised Wu Mantun.
Because according to his subconscious, Liang Chuan was a noble man, how could he spend such an important festival with a servant like him.
Liang Chuan felt depressed and didn't explain too much. He just said that the house at home hadn't been built yet and he wanted to borrow Wu Mantun's stove!
The iron pot is naturally used for making hot pot!
Liang Chuan didn't know how to cook, and he wasn't in the mood. He threw down all the vegetables in one go. After scalding the boiling water in the pot, he poured some vinegar and soy sauce into the bowl, and added a little salt to make it a delicious dish. dish!
It was the first time for Anong and Wu Mantun to see such a way of eating. It was full of novelty. Thanks to the strong support of the hunting team and the Women's Federation, Liangchuan was given the best ingredients. These things are all the freshest in the mountains. Those fungi are used As soon as the water is boiled, the soup will turn milky white and smell like chicken soup. Use this kind of soup to cook vegetables and meat, and the taste will be wonderful!
Anon and Wu Mantun never thought that one day they would celebrate the Spring Festival like this. Although it was very ugly, the ingredients were full of sincerity!
Liang Chuan also didn't expect that his 'first' Spring Festival in this world would be spent like this!
Some people died, but not completely...
