Otherworldly Farmhouse

Early in the morning, the three children stared at their father eagerly, because Amu promised them to go to the market today, and things in the tribe are usually bartered, but Tang Anwen and his family didn't have anything, so they just Can take silver to buy in the past.

Mu Feng drove the carriage towards the tribal market. The place here is not a plain, but built on the hills. Their side is still a peripheral area. Most of the soldiers live here, which is convenient for gathering.The older members of the tribe all moved to live in the valley. The climate there is much better than that of the outskirts. It is warm in winter and cool in summer. Even the aquatic plants are more plump than here. The biggest market in the tribe is there.

Tang Anwen is recovering well now, so he is ready to go to the market. Besides, his copper pipe has not been found yet. If there is no copper pipe in the tribe, he needs to go to the city to look for it. He can always find it. The north enters winter earlier than the south. He had to make plans quickly.

The market here is very distinctive. On a meadow, there are two rows of tents a few hundred meters away. Colorful blankets, calfskin boots, brightly colored fabrics, and a lot of spices. There are so many kinds of spices. Tang Anwen’s nose is almost scented off. It’s very strange that people from the Muha tribe like spices so much. .

There are all kinds of sharp knives in the weapon shop. Tang Anwen asked the other party if they could make copper pipes. Unfortunately, the other party shook his head. If it was a weapon, he could easily make it out. But the copper pipe Tang Anwen wanted, to be honest, none of them had such copper pipes. Many, it takes hundreds of meters, and there are elbows, which is very troublesome to make.

Walking around the market, Tang Anwen just bought some small toys and snacks for the children, and they didn’t lack other things at home. Mu Feng looked at Tang Anwen’s depressed look and said, “Don’t worry, since there are none here, wait until tomorrow I'll go to the city and have a look, maybe there's one over there."

Tang Anwen could only nod his head. It takes two quarters of an hour to ride horses from their current home. Along the way, you can see a lot of tents, and there will be bamboo buildings beside the tents. The place is really small, with more than 20 people crowded in So little place.

Mu Feng obviously saw Tang Anwen's expression, and said with a smile: "Actually, it's not what you think. There are still a lot of land in the tribe, but we don't want to live in the periphery. If the murderers attack there, they can break into the tribe directly. , so we use the outer area to train soldiers and raise livestock. Can you see, Ah Wen, there is only one exit from the two mountains over there. As long as the tribe guards where it is, the criminals cannot come. Moreover, we live on the mountain, and the criminals are not used to being on the mountain at all. Fighting, here is safe, and the clansmen also like to live together."

Tang Anwen looked in the direction of Mufeng's finger, and he saw two connected mountains in the distance. He didn't pay attention when he entered the tribe, and his body didn't allow it at the time, so Tang Anwen didn't take a closer look. This time, he can walk well gone.

Tang Anwen glanced at Mu Feng and said with a smile: "Whenever we have time, let's go and have a look."

Mu Feng nodded and said: "It's nothing to do now, why don't you take the children there to have a look, you didn't take a good walk after you came to the tribe because it was inconvenient, I will take you for a good walk today, but I have to wait for me to get the beans They sent them to the school."

Tang Anwen immediately asked after hearing this: "Mu Feng, why don't we do this? Have you paid the tuition? It's not a problem for the child to go to eat and drink for free every day. When we are free, we will also invite the child Friends come to eat at home, I always heard them say which home they ate at, and whose home's E-Mu cooks delicious food."

After hearing this, Mu Feng smiled and said: "No problem, let the children invite friends over for dinner tomorrow. As for the school, the school of the tribe does not need to pay. As for the food, everyone sends it over. I often make more The food is sent to the school, so don't think too much about it."

Tang Anwen came to the tribal school for the first time. Most of the children came on horseback. After jumping off the horse, those well-trained horses went to find food by themselves.The child rushed into the school, and Tang Anwen told Douzi to take good care of his younger brother. Although Sanbao would not be bullied if no one looked at him, the child was too young. Even though he had a lot of things in his mind, Tang Anwen still unconsciously regarded Sanbao as a four-year-old boy. brat.

Standing outside the tent, Tang Anwen saw that as long as the child entered the tent, he would find a small stool and sit down, and then obediently listen to the teacher's lecture in the tent. Douzi and Guoguo's lectures in the tent that they got into Raise a war horse.

Mu Feng called out to Tang Anwen, and then Mu Feng's voice was drowned out by the sound rushing out from another tent.The group of little guys in their teens started fighting each other. Seeing Tang Anwen's stunned look, Mu Feng smiled and said, "They are learning boxing. After explaining things like boxing in class, they will train like this. They have trained a lot. The progress is very fast, and Douzi and the others probably want to go too, but they have no choice but to go with the Three Treasures, and when we finish the house and bring the Three Treasures with us, they can practice wrestling."

Tang Anwen nodded, looking at the little guys who kept falling and standing up on the grass, it's no wonder that the brothers of the Muha tribe are so strong. It turns out that they have been exercising like this since they were young. If they are not strong, it makes no sense .

Riding a horse, Mufeng led Tang Anwen to gallop. The horses of the Muha tribe were much stronger than the horses in the south, and they were also tired with two adults. Looking at the very close distance, they ran for more than half an hour. During the period, Tang Anwen watched Many cattle and sheep were driven out of the mountain by the warriors of the Muha tribe, and they should be grazing with them.

Standing between the two mountains, the mountain seems to be cut off from the middle. Standing at the break, the Muha tribe is surrounded by mountains.Mufeng told him that the extremely steep mountain several thousand meters high on the left blocked the grassland, and the Tiemu tribe could not go around the mountain no matter what. The snow on the mountain did not melt all the year round. It is said that the Muha tribe decided to move here Afterwards, I explored the snow-capped mountains repeatedly, and only dared to sleep peacefully after confirming that no one could turn over.

Outside the fracture is a smooth rock wall, and some tribal warriors are beating the distant rock wall. It turns out that this smooth rock wall was excavated by the Muha people year after year, and it is not formed naturally at all.

Outside the mountain is a whole piece of fertile grassland, the cattle and sheep are driven towards the distance by those warriors, Mu Feng told Tang Anwen, those warriors will drive the cattle and sheep towards the distance, and it may take ten days for them to graze at a time, Afterwards, they rushed back to change people and then went to herd, and the soldiers who came back continued to train. These brothers were not very old, only sixteen or seventeen years old. After they had served for five years, they could find someone they liked and have children. .

Tang Anwen looked at the soldiers going away, thinking that they lived this kind of life day after day and year after year. It was heartbreaking to hear that everything was just for the survival of the tribe.But this is all because the sex ratio is too large. All the things in the tribe are carried by the brothers. When the sex ratio is even in the future, I believe there will be some changes in the tribe, and they are so united, which is really enviable.

Tang Anwen began to design bamboo buildings after returning home. He used double rows of whole bamboo trees to build houses, fearing that he would freeze to death in winter.The place has already been found, it is at the foot of the mountain, not far from here, it can block the north wind, and the sunshine is also very good.

After Tang Anwen decided to build the house, Mu Yu brought dozens of soldiers to help Tang Anwen cut enough bamboo in one day, and also helped Tang Anwen tidy up the place, and waited for Tang Anwen to design the bamboo house before they could start construction up.

The house designed by Tang Anwen this time is very interesting. The house faces south, and there is nothing special about it. Although the house has only one floor, Tang Anwen added a [-] cm thermal insulation layer to keep it warm. sun.The size of the house is not small, there are eight bedrooms in it, and there are rows of recesses, with rooms on both sides.

There is a bathroom, a bathroom and a kitchen in the middle, followed by the living room. There is an open space in front of the living room. The floor is all paved with bamboo, where flowers and plants can be placed. The bamboo rafts on the roof can be removed in summer and covered in winter.In winter, one part of the bamboo on the floor can be removed, and there is a big pot underneath. The lid on the big pot is connected to a bronze pipe, and the water vapor can be connected to the ground of all rooms. When the time comes, just burn it up, and it will warm up the whole house .

The bamboo house is [-] centimeters from the ground. The lower floor is paved with stones, and there is [-] centimeters of loess on top. There are small stones and a layer of felt near the bamboo boards. After heating, the insulation is quite good. Tang Anwen has done experiments. The loess Can be warm for a long time.As for the problem that the bamboo might be easily damaged, Tang Anwen didn't come up with a good solution. He was still very arrogant, and he directly said that it would be a big deal to dismantle it and cover it again in two years.

The pipe Tang Anwen asked for was finally found by Muyu with the help of Muyu. It was not a copper pipe, but made of bronze. Tang Anwen looked pretty good. When the design was finished, Luo Ling booked a room with Tang Anwen and told Tang Anwen that he would like Come and live here, although their house has a brazier in winter, it is still very cold. Everything is good here, but the winter is too difficult.

Many people helped Tang Anwen and the others build the house. In just five days, the loess base was built, and even the bronze pipes and the cauldron were placed. Tang Anwen experimented, and after boiling water with dried cow dung, it only took half an hour. , the entire loess layer is warmed up, and there is no leak or lack of warmth.

Then it took about a week, and the whole bamboo house was built, together with the required furniture, bamboo beds, bamboo chairs, and bamboo cabinets, all in place at one time.

Mufeng asked the priest to choose a good day, fired two firecrackers, and moved the family to the bamboo house. All the bedrooms are about the same size, not particularly big, about twelve square meters, and there are very few things in the room, only 1.8 One meter bed and a bedside table, as well as large cabinets for clothes and quilts.

Tang Anwen and the others moved, and Mu Yu and the others brought presents. Tang Anwen didn't understand at all. There were two brass heads of a calf and two brass heads of a lamb, and a ring was tied with a red rope.But Mu Feng told Mu Yu that this was not good, but Mu Yu said that when they returned to the tribe, they didn't even have any property at home.

Tang Anwen was surprised at the time, how could his family have no property? Back then, the emperor rewarded him with a shipyard far away in the Huaishui River. Even if he came here, the dividends in the shipyard were not small, and the annual income was not 1 taels , there should be 8000 taels. Why did the Muha tribe come to be poor and have no property.

Then Mu Lang also sent gifts. What Mu Lang gave was the copper heads of a pony, a calf and two lambs, which were about twice the size of a coin and had numbers on them.Tang Anwen finally couldn't help asking what it was. Mu Lang said that these things represented their property in the tribe, and they were kept by special people. As long as they took the sign, they could look for the corresponding cattle, sheep and horses.

Mufeng's father seldom comes here, probably because he understands that Mufeng finds it difficult to accept him getting married again, so he tries to seldom appear in front of Mufeng.But this time Zhang Fuping didn't come alone, he brought Mu Feng's little aunt and their two children, one was one year old and the other was three years old, both boys.

Whenever Tang Anwen saw a stranger, the first thing he did was to take a breath and feel if the other person was wearing a sachet. Although this action was not very good, Mu Feng didn't say anything.Even if a brother frowns, Mu Feng will say that Tang Anwen is used to it, maybe he wants to distinguish whether the other party gave birth to a boy or a brother, and now there are some trends in the tribe, saying that the sachet may be the culprit of gender imbalance The culprit is that some brothers are not using sachets anymore.

When Mu Feng saw his father, his face froze, and then he called out his father and aunt, and then called out the children in the family, and let them call out before letting them go and talk to them. play with friends.

Mufeng's cousin took Mufeng's hand, and apologized to Mufeng first, but he had always liked Zhang Fuping before, but Mufeng's mother and Zhang Fuping had a good relationship at the beginning, and Mufeng's mother said at the beginning that she did not want to be with Zhang Fuping. People shared that it was not until Mufeng's mother passed away that Aunt Mufeng saw the letter when she was sorting out the belongings. He originally wanted to take care of Mufeng and Zhang Fuping, but he never thought that Zhang Fuping would secretly take the letter with him. Run away with the wood wind.

Since then, Aunt Mufeng has been staying in the tribe, training soldiers, and has never been emotional. She waited until Zhang Fuping came back with two boys. The child pestered him, and Aunt Mufeng chose to be with Zhang Fuping in the end. Although the relationship was extremely flat, Zhang Fuping suffered a lot when they lived together. Naturally, his personality is different from that of the men in the tribe, and life is not good. Calm and cozy.

However, after having a child, the relationship between the two became even better, and they really experienced a different sweetness.Now Zhang Fuping's two youngest sons also have elder brothers to take care of them, and they don't usually come to disturb them. Their life is really getting better and better.

Papa Mufeng really bleeds a lot this time, of course this thing is definitely not Papa Mufeng's, but his aunt's.There are eight cows, eight sheep, horses, and Mu Lang joked at the time that Tang Anwen already has a small fortune in the tribe, but it is not too much. When the children grow up, each child needs to share some.What Aunt Mufeng sent this time was not a moving gift, but a gift for marrying her brother. After all, Aunt Mufeng passed away a long time ago, so it is impossible to give Mufeng a dowry. Aunt Mufeng is to compensate Mufeng .

Mufeng held the things in his hand. He was very embarrassed and told his aunt that he was not short of them, and he could not accept such a valuable gift. Aunt Mufeng said that these things did not belong to him. The raised one was finally sent back to Mu Feng's hands, and even his father persuaded him, saying that if Mu Feng didn't accept it, he was against the two of them being together, so it's hard for Mu Feng to refuse at this time.

In fact, Mu Feng knew very well that when his mother passed away, the cattle and sheep were all exchanged by his father for money, and there was nothing left for his aunt.It's just that he had thought about it. If he left that day, he also hoped that Ah Wen could meet someone good again, so that even without him, there would be someone who could take good care of Ah Wen. Although Mu Feng couldn't stand Tang Anwen and others They were together, but he couldn't bear Tang Anwen's suffering without his care, not to mention that he would be dead by then, so he couldn't bear it anymore.

The clan elders also sent some gifts, and some things were taken away by Mufeng, such as some wooden carvings and other brightly colored fabrics and felts, but all the livestock were sent back by Mufeng. They never wanted to help the tribe What to get, and they are not short of money at all, especially now that they have a small fortune in the tribe, and the patriarch didn't say anything.

After a lively day, Tang Anwen was lying on the bed like a dog and pretended to be dead. Seeing that Mu Feng barked twice but didn't wake him up, he didn't bother to pay attention to Tang Anwen. After he went to visit a few children, Just closed the door and went to sleep.

Mu Feng never expected that after he covered Tang Anwen with a blanket, he would appear in a strange place when his eyes went dark.This place is really strange, there are many strange things in the house, Mufeng has never seen it before, they all use oil lamps and lanterns, but the lights here are quite strange, they are hung under the floor, and there are strange things The strange square box has a strange picture on it, a bit like a few sheep running around in the grassland, but Mufeng can't understand Li Ma's words, so he doesn't know what it is.

Mu Feng stretched out his hand and shook it. He was chubby and had dimples. This was when he was very young. He blinked his eyes a few times to figure it out. This must be Ah Wen's dream again.After meeting Ah Mu and the others several times, Ah Wen asked his grandma and grandpa how to make him smaller and how to get him into a dream. This is probably where Ah Wen once lived in another world. The room, so Mu Feng quickly took a bold look.

Mu Feng's only wish in this life is to go to the world that Tang Anwen said. He wants to know what kind of world can raise a smart person like Ah Wen...
