No matter if you are a human or an immortal, you can still farm for me after traveling through time!

The weather today is not very good. The thick dark clouds not only block the daylight, causing the temperature to drop suddenly, but also pour down fluffy snow in clumps from the sky. The lowest pile of snow is as high as the calf.

The village in the snow was exceptionally quiet. Even the dogs, which usually barked when they heard passers-by, were now too cold to bark.

In this kind of weather, almost no one wants to go out.

The carriage slowly and quietly drove into Xiali Village in the west.

Although the village is named after Li, the villagers have many surnames. The surname Li only accounts for half of the population, and most of the people with other surnames moved here later.

The damage caused to the people living in the border areas by the war eight years ago was more serious than it seemed. The Uighur soldiers sneaked into the vicinity of Guiku Gorge through a secret cave in Liancang Mountain, bypassed Guiku Gorge and split into two groups. One group raided Tupeng Pass, which was more than 200 miles away from Guiku Gorge. The pass was broken and the city was destroyed, causing more Uighur soldiers to rush into Dali. The other group rode westward and swept through the villages along the way, not for plundering resources, but only for revenge and venting. Finally, they were surrounded and wiped out by the Dali soldiers who came from Si'erkou.

This war was not as simple as an enemy invasion. People could get through the caves in the mountains, but horses could not. Where did the Huihe people who entered Dali get the horses?

The Huihe people with horses and the Huihe people without horses are in two different states, and their combat effectiveness is very different. It is not scary for the Huihe people to enter Dali, but those without horses are like babies learning to walk. They dare not be rampant, and it is impossible for them to sweep across the northwest and harm the people on the border.

But eight years ago they got the horse...

If the dragon had not turned over and covered the cave in Liancang Mountain, no one would have known how the Uighurs entered Dali, nor would they have been able to find out who provided them with horses.

Most of the clues were hidden as the earth dragon turned over. It was not until several years later that Yang Huang eliminated all impossibilities and followed various clues to find the cave that had been excavated and dredged again.

Dali had been established for nearly four hundred years, and its borders had always been invaded by the Uighurs. The construction of city walls not only blocked the invasion of the Uighur cavalry, but also built a trade wall between the Central Plains and the grasslands. Only a few open checkpoints allowed the people of the grasslands to trade with Dali.

Tupeng Pass was one of the checkpoints open to trade.

There are not only Huihe people in the grasslands, but also other grassland ethnic groups. There are hundreds or thousands of nomadic tribes living on the border of Dali. The tribes are large and small. Some are friendly to the Central Plains, while others are hostile. They are unwilling to integrate into Dali. They trade with Dali only for survival and to exchange the necessities of life.

Among them were many ethnic groups and tribes that had close relations with the Huihe. Some tribes were even supported and nurtured by the Huihe and served as the Huihe's watchdogs against Dali. These tribes were the ones who launched the most feint attacks on the Dali border.

In addition to some tribes whose attributes have been discovered by Dali, there is still a large number that has never revealed their attitude. They wander between Dali and Huihe, supporting whoever benefits them.

The forces on the grassland are complicated, intertwined, mutually exclusive, and mutually devouring. The growth of large tribes cannot be separated from the support of Huihe or Dali. It is extremely difficult to find clues from them eight years ago.

Yang Huang pinched the bridge of his nose in the carriage. These tangled and tangled clues gave him a headache. Once he recognized his eldest brother's child, he would have solved another important issue that was hanging in his mind. Only then could he deal with the next matter with peace of mind.

The two villages of Shangli and Xiali are separated by more than half an hour's journey. Compared with the neat and orderly layout of Shangli, Xiali appears to be messy, with buildings scattered here and there in a haphazard manner.

Originally there was only one Li village in the east. Many years ago, as the land was divided to more remote areas and the population continued to increase, an area in the west was designated as a new village.

The carriage turned several corners in the village and finally stopped in front of a yard.

"General, we're here."

Yang Huang lifted the car curtain and glanced out from the narrow window.

The yard covers a large area. From the low earthen wall, you can see several houses standing in the yard. The roofs are covered with thick white snow. The chimney on the roof of one of the houses is constantly emitting black smoke.

bang bang bang-

“Who is it?! Stop smashing it! The door is broken!” A man’s cursing voice came from the house in the yard: “Who is it in such a cold day?!”

The driver didn’t put down his hand until the man opened the gate. “Are you Li David?”

Seeing the serious and upright person, Li David instantly put down his arrogance and shrank his body to answer in a timid voice: "Yes, I am Li David. What can I do for you two?"

Yang Huang, who was standing behind the coachman, was wearing a black bearskin coat that wrapped his body tightly. The fine fur still looked smooth and shiny in the gloomy weather. It not only kept him warm but also prevented snow from falling.

Anyone who can afford to wear such clothes must be a noble person!

Li David rubbed his red, frozen hands and asked uncertainly, "My Lords... do you want to ask for directions...?"

After confirming that the man was Li David, Yang Huang walked straight forward. His tall stature and terrifying aura instantly forced Li David inside the door to retreat again and again, leaving the door open.

Yang Huang ignored the frightened man and walked through the gate to look around the yard.

There are two houses in the courtyard that are very similar in appearance and layout, one on the left and one on the right. The one on the left is the main house where Li David lives. There is a heated kang, and one can imagine the warmth inside the house just by looking at the chimney that keeps spewing smoke. The one on the right looks particularly lonely.

"Who are you, Li Dayu?"

Li David couldn't figure out the man's purpose for a moment, and hesitated to think about how to fool him. But when he looked up and saw the man's eyes that did not allow any objection, he nodded repeatedly in fear: "It's my brother..."

"Really? Your brother's name is Li Dayu?"

Li David was about to nod, but suddenly he remembered something and quickly shook his head: "Li Dayu is not my brother... No no no! Li Dayu is my brother!!"

Yang Huang stared at Li David coldly, the look in his eyes as if he was looking at a dead object made Li David tremble all over. "Your Excellency... Your Excellency... Li Dayu is indeed my brother. His original name was Li Dazhi. Because he injured his head while playing when he was a child, his brain works slower than that of ordinary people. From now on, we will not call him Dazhi, but Dayu."

Li David carefully observed Yang Huang's expression. Seeing that the man looked somewhat relieved, he immediately added, "Before my brother died, his name on the household registration was still Li Dazhi. Li Dayu was the name that the villagers were used to calling him. Over time, my brother only remembered that he was Li Dayu."

No wonder it was so difficult to find. The name on the household registration was quite different from the name used.

"I am your brother's former superior. This is his last pension. From now on, all his merits and demerits will be written off." As he said this, the driver took out a box from the carriage. It was so heavy that the footprints left in the snow were much deeper.

When he heard about the money, Li David's eyes lit up immediately: "Pension? Didn't my brother's pension get paid out a long time ago?"

Yang Huang raised the corner of his mouth and smiled coldly: "Your brother did a good thing, and you... should be thankful to have such a brother..."

Li David heard the irony in the nobleman's mouth and did not dare to say anything more: "Why don't you come in and have a cup of tea to warm yourself up?"

"No need." Yang Huang turned and left.

The driver asked Li David to get the bag so that he could transfer the money from the box to it.

After a while, the driver returned to the carriage with the empty box. He handed Yang Huang a piece of paper with a red handprint on it: "General, it's a good thing that the young master took the household registration paper with him."

Yang Huang folded the paper and put it in his pocket: "Let's go."

In the Li family's yard, the family was busy cleaning the house and preparing dinner.

Tomorrow is the Little New Year, so of course we have to hurry up and prepare.

Everyone had to clean their own room. The study was handed over to the scholars, the yard was under the responsibility of Li Changji and Li Erlang, Li Adie and Li Aweng, father and son, went to the granary, and the kitchen was tidyed up by several women.

Aunt Li sorted and arranged the vegetables that Ji Qingyue brought out neatly, thinking about what dish to make.

In addition to the fresh vegetables that had already been seen, Ji Qingyue brought out several more that no one had ever seen before.

Aunt Li was a little nervous: "What are these things that Yuelang is talking about called?"

Li Jinniang had a good memory and remembered it after hearing it once: "Mother, Brother Ji said that the one that looks like waterweed is called茭白, and you can peel off the leaves and eat the roots. The one that looks like an ox head is called caltrop, and you need to soak it in water for 25 minutes and then boil it for half an hour, then you can eat it after peeling it. These are chrysanthemum, water spinach, taro, and yam..."

Grandma Li was stunned when she heard this: "At my age, I can still see such miraculous food. Yue Lang is really amazing."

The others agreed and decided to have a hot pot dinner tonight.

"Da Lang and Er Lang, you two don't need to sweep the entire yard, just make a path for walking. After that, hurry to the village and get some meat from your aunt! Bring these fresh vegetables along the way! Hurry up! We're waiting for the mutton to be stewed in soup!"

In their two families, the younger brother Li Daqing always kills the sheep first to prepare the food for the Little New Year, while the older brother Li Dacai takes charge of the food for the Big New Year.

Hearing their mother's urging, the two brothers who were planning to clean the entire yard quickly sped up their work, reducing their workload to just clearing the paths between the houses, and then slowly pulled the cart towards the village.

Before the autumn harvest, Li A Niang and several female relatives used more than 100 kilograms of cotton to make a very thick robe for everyone in the family. It weighed four or five kilograms from head to toe. They then put on a fur robe to wrap the body tightly so that no matter how strong the wind was, it could not blow on them.

The two brothers pulled the cart carefully back from the village. Their uncle and aunt had killed three sheep in advance and left one and a half waiting for them.

When he got near his home, Li Erlang saw from afar a familiar carriage parked at the door. Father Li was removing the threshold and asking the coachman to drive the carriage into the yard.

The two brothers looked at each other, immediately quickened their pace, one pulling and the other pushing, and quickly returned to the door of their home.

Except for an extra tire track, the yard looked no different from when we left.

"Mother! My elder brother and I have brought the meat back!" Li Erlang shouted. Mother Li poked her head out of the main room and waved at them anxiously: "Put the mutton in the kitchen and come over!"

The two brothers did as they were told and immediately returned to the main house after moving the mutton into the kitchen.

The main room was very quiet. It wasn't that there was no sound, but that it was much quieter. There was no laughter from Silang, Yulang, and Tuanlang, nor was there the loud shouting from A Niang.

"Mother?" The moment Li Erlang lifted the curtain and walked into the main room, he saw Yang Huang sitting in the main seat.

"General Yang?!"

He never expected that the person in the carriage was Yang Huang! !

Yang Huang had taken off his heavy bearskin coat, and underneath he was wearing an indigo blue round-necked robe with fox fur sewn around it. He held a teacup and smiled at the people in the room. They had just been frantically boiling water and making tea, but now they were standing neatly and awkwardly. There were also a few children with admiring faces. He couldn't help but sip his tea, put down the teacup, and sat with his hands on his knees: "No need to be polite, everyone. When will Mr. Ji be back?"

As soon as Ji Qingyue was mentioned, Yang Huang found that the family immediately became nervous. Everyone looked at Li Erlang tacitly. He also looked at Li Erlang and said, "Don't be nervous. I'm looking for Mr. Ji this time for no other reason than to express my gratitude. Of course, not only Mr. Ji deserves my thanks, but you all should also accept my greetings!" As he said that, Yang Huang actually lifted the corner of his robe and knelt on the ground while everyone was astonished.

Aunt Li was so nervous that she clenched her fists. She was frightened by Yang Huang's kneeling and didn't know what to do. She looked at her husband who was also frightened, and then at her second son who looked puzzled: "What, what, what... How can this be...?"

Li Aong took the lead, stepped forward and knelt, then reached out to help Yang Huang up. Yang Huang grabbed Li Aong's hand with his backhand and propped the old man up to prevent him from kneeling down.

Yang Huang's grip was too strong, and Li Aong could not break free, so he could only say, "Please tell me clearly, General."

Yang Huang took a deep breath and looked at the kid who was huddled in the corner with Li Silang, his eyes wide open. He pointed at Li Yu and said, "Come here."

Li Yu was shocked and confused, but he was not afraid. This was the great general who killed the Uighurs and a great hero.

He walked slowly towards Yang Huang, blinking his big watery eyes: "General?"

Yang Huang reached out and took the child's hand: "Kneel down and kowtow to thank your benefactors." As he said this, he pulled the child to kneel down.

The child kowtowed in confusion and looked at Yang Huang, who was also kneeling beside him, in confusion.

Li Erlang already understood everything.

"Your surname is not Li, it's Yang, and your name is Jinyu." Yang Huang stared at the child's misty eyes and spoke word by word.

Li Yu felt dizzy. He understood every word General Yang said, but how could he put it together in such a confusing sentence? !

"My surname isn't Li? My surname is Yang?" Li Yu raised his hand and pointed at himself.

Yang Huang nodded heavily: "Is your father Li Dayu from Xiali Village?"

Li Yun nodded: "The household registration says it's Li Dazhi, but everyone in the village calls him Li Dayu."

Father Li knew the reason and nodded.

"That's it. When your mother gave birth, Tupeng Pass was breached and your father led troops to fight the enemy. In an emergency, your mother had no choice but to put you in a secret cellar, and then ordered someone to take you away in the chaos. Your mother asked the man's name, and the man said his name was Li Dayu." Yang Huang calmly recounted the heartbreaking memory, "The Huihe people hung your mother on the back of a horse and dragged her for hundreds of miles. Your mother did not forget to leave clues in the critical moment. She scratched two words on her face, pointing to Li Dayu."

"But I didn't know that his name was not Li Dayu..." It took eight years by accident.

"You are...you are..." Li Yu choked and trembled.

Yang Huang touched the child's head and said, "Your father is my elder brother. He died in Tupeng Pass eight years ago. I am your second uncle."

Li Yu cried out "Wow" and just knelt on the ground.

He was so sad, so wronged, and so happy!!

After a long while, Yang Huang picked up the still sobbing Li Yu and said, "Luckily I found you."
