Major General Through the Upper Gate

He and Gu Xizheng had been free early, but the others in Tonghua Village were still busy.Cracking corn, planting sweet potatoes, pulling peanuts, no matter which one is enough to keep people busy.

Wei Xiaopai's family planted a lot of corn, and he leased ten mu of dry land from the official family, and another five mu from the Liu family.The sandy land that is already backed by the mountain is full of small stones, and ordinary people are not willing to plant them. Whether they can take it back is another matter. I don’t know how many hoes have been rolled on weekdays.

In the past two days, Cheng Wei saw Wei Xiaopai starting to set up a shelf to dry corn in the yard. Although he didn't say anything, Cheng Wei went out early to help out when he was done with his work.He has always kept in mind the matter of the two rice seedlings.

Wei's family has many children and they are all married and set up households. Wei's father divided the land early according to everyone's share.He had said early on that he didn't want Wei Yinzhi's share. Now Wei Xiaopai's own land is only Wei Dongliang's, Wei Yinzhi's and Xiao Liu's three shares, and the rest belong to Dian.

The four brothers jointly managed the [-] mu of paddy fields in Dian. After paying the rent from the Liu family and the government tax every year, all the remaining rice was sold.The money from the sale was divided into five shares, and all the brothers were convinced.

"Daddy Wei." Cheng Wei called out from the ground.

"Hey! Brother Wei, why are you here?" There was a clattering sound, and Wei Xiaopai came out carrying a basket of corn on his back. He tied a square scarf around his head to cover his hair and covered his face. piece.Seeing Cheng Wei, he untied the cloth.

"Let me help you. I'm afraid it will rain in two days. If you have more people, you should move faster." Cheng Wei also took out two squares from the back basket. The corn leaves were covered with hair. Walking back and forth like this is the same as rolling in the rice pile.

Cheng Wei didn't lie, Wei Xiaopai looked up at the big clouds, which was a sign of rain.He hesitated for a moment, but did not refuse.

"Brother Wei, just help me chop off the corn stalks." Wei Xiaopai stopped Cheng Wei, and handed him the knife he was holding down from his back basket.

Cheng Wei also knew that someone was breaking the corn while others were chopping the seedlings. He put the scarf back in the basket and got down to the ground with the knife.

On the other end, Gu Xizheng was carrying a small pannier on his back. After passing the short slope, he identified the direction and walked quickly towards the destination.Today, he wanted to visit the place where he fell.

It took him four hours to walk from Tonghua Village to the place where he fell. As he gradually deepened, the layered changes of plants and animals in the forest were extremely obvious.

His sense of direction is very good. Although it was already dark when Cheng Wei took him down the mountain last time, it didn't prevent him from finding the way back.

The big tree is still the same, the broken branches are still lying under the tree, but it has dried up, and the surrounding weeds that have been overwhelmed by him have already grown tall.

Gu Xijiao walked around carefully, but there was nothing special about it.Leaning against the tree, he glanced into the depths of the dark forest, frowning slightly.

He always felt that the more he walked in, the more familiar he felt.

Gu Xijiao didn't stay for too long, the place where he was was already at the edge of the forest hinterland, and he didn't intend to continue walking in.

He lifted up the pannier he was carrying, and went back the same way.

As soon as he left, a big colorful tiger came out from the depths of the dense forest.The tiger looked up for a long time in the direction where Gu Xijiao disappeared, and its red and black ears moved slightly.

clan?

No.The slightly reddish tiger sharpened its paws on the tree. In the next moment, its bones shifted rapidly, its hair fell out, and a man who was about the same height as Gu Xi stood up in the bushes.

That person has no smell.

His pupils were only a thin line, and the whites of his eyes were like golden amber, shining brightly in the occasional sunlight.He tossed his fluffy soft hair, and made an inexplicable grunt in the direction where Gu Xicheng disappeared.

That can't be regarded as a clansman, it is a waste that can't even transform.

When Gu Xicheng came out of the forest, he always felt that something was following him. He kept observing for a long time without making a sound, and the feeling of being followed slowly disappeared when he turned over a mountain.

He looked back and saw that the plants in the forest showed obvious divisions in this area. The towering trees became less and less as he went down, the bushes gradually disappeared, and low weeds stretched from here.

Is it because the terrain is so wide that you can't hide your figure anymore?Or is it because if you follow, you will cross the territory?

In the galaxy on the edge of the blue star, there is a petite animal called the velvet cat. The so-called petite is just a comparison with the spine beast. They have a thick layer of fur and are cats, so they got this name. .

This kind of animal usually gathers on a planet, but each has its own strict territory, and even if it is invaded by the same kind, it will be expelled without hesitation.

Moreover, the velvet cat is the one with the highest IQ among all the galaxy species discovered so far.After following him for so long but not attacking him, and not feeling any killing intent, Gu Xizhen felt that the animal following him probably had an IQ, besides, he might have stepped into its territory first.

Thinking of it this way, he didn't take it to heart.

When Gu Xicheng returned home, the rare room was pitch black.He dropped a casual animal in the yard, and fumbled to light the lamp.

The cooked dishes were covered with a cover on the table in the main room, and the bowl was still warm to the touch.Gu Xicheng glanced into the room, but Cheng Wei was not there either.

At this time, Cheng Wei and Wei Xiaopai had just come out of the village chief's house, and the village chief sent them to the door and said in a low voice, "I'll let old man Zhang go and see it tomorrow, so don't say anything about it."

"We can save it." Wei Xiaopai nodded, and left the village chief's house with Cheng Wei with a heavy heart.

When they were breaking corn on the low slope near the mountain today, Cheng Wei found a series of special footprints.Anyone in the village who has been humiliated knows that whenever such footprints appear, it means that Yun Jingguo will start arresting people again.

Gu Xizheng couldn't find Cheng Wei, he sat for a while and no one came back, just about to go to the next door to ask Wei Xiaopai, when he saw two figures walking over.

"Daddy Wei." Gu Xicheng stopped in his tracks and called out.

"Well, after a busy day, I won't let you guys talk, let's go back to dinner." Wei Xiaopai said to the two.

Cheng Wei responded, and walked back with Gu Xijiao and closed the courtyard door.He went to break corn for Wei Xiaopai today, and the acquaintances and part-time workers in Tonghua Village usually only went for lunch.Cheng Wei had a meal at Wei's house at noon, no matter how Wei Xiaopai invited him for dinner, he refused to go.

"What did you bring back?" Cheng Wei asked because there was a dark mass in the dark yard.

"I don't know. When I went down the mountain, it just jumped right in front of me, so I caught it back." He wouldn't say that he couldn't help chasing after seeing this thing jumping cutely among the rocks and bushes. got one.

Cheng Wei went into the room and took out the lamp, he smiled and said, "It's hard for you, this mountain jumps so fast on weekdays, but it disappeared on that rocky mountain in a blink of an eye, even Uncle Zhang had to think about it for a long time before he dared to make a move. .”

What Gu Xijiao caught was a wild goat, which was wounded in the leg by a dagger, and it was still panting right now.Because the rabbit he caught last time was dripping with blood, he caught it alive this time.

Cheng Wei thought about it and it was too late, anyway, if he didn't die, he was tied up and waited for the next day to kill.
