After such a rectification, the defense index of Gao Chang and his yard skyrocketed, and some people wanted to live in this yard.Zheng Guohong and Zheng Guobang don't care about this matter, as long as those people can persuade the residents in the yard to let them agree to live in, anyway, whoever agrees will live in their home. There are not too many people in the yard now, especially some young and strong people For men, and those who have stored food at home, it doesn't matter if more households move in.

The people in the yard don't let people live in their homes for nothing now, they have to charge some rent, and give some food every month, and if they don't charge rent, they have to show it in other ways.People like Zheng Rixin who live in the hall are getting a lot of money. Recently, someone built an attic on the second floor of the hall. The space is not small, but considering the load-bearing problem, they dare not live in more people.

These new residents also have to draw lots, and if they are drawn, they have to work in the yard. In this way, the chances of men getting short lottery every day are even smaller.

This evening Gao Chang overslept a little bit, and he spent a little too much time practicing in the morning, because he was unable to break through the third floor, so he was also a little anxious.Rhubarb said that the practice of the first to third floors is the foundation, and when the fourth floor is reached, the practitioner will gain some real power, and the third floor often takes a long time to break through, and Gao Chang has already stopped at this level After nearly five years, there has been no progress.

Going out of his house while digging his eyes, as soon as he crossed the threshold, Gao Chang felt that the Sanheyuan on this day was very different from usual. It seemed that everyone in the courtyard was looking at him.

"Gao Chang, why did you just get up, come on, come to the hall quickly, Guozhong and Fifth Uncle have been waiting for you for a long time." As soon as he saw Gao Chang, Zheng Guobang called him over immediately, Gao Chang knew that the two people probably had a conflict He came here with the wild boars in his house. Naturally, he didn't want to send the wild boars out, but judging by the attitudes of these people in the yard...

"Gao Chang, come here, hey Guohong, look, the little boy who moved the stool and leaned on your door, has grown so big in a blink of an eye, hey, he can catch wild boars." Uncle Wu, the old man is not young, and most of his teeth have been lost, but his brain is still in good shape. No one in the yard at Shangkan would not listen to him.

"Isn't it?" Zheng Guohong answered with a smile, without saying much.

"Time makes people old. I was in good health that year, and I was able to carry a load of two hundred catties without panting. Now I only have this old bone."

"Fifth Uncle, what are you talking about, the old man in our village head counts you as the most energetic." Zheng Guobang said.

"I was in good spirits a while ago, but I can't sleep these two days. God, it seems that I don't want to let me die well. When I think of our whole yard, alas..."

"What are you worrying about when you're too old? Children and grandchildren have their own blessings." Old Ninth Uncle sitting on the side also said at this moment.

"Fu, what, Fu, look what's going on outside now. I heard that Qianer Guoxi fainted after being bitten by a pine root snake? Hey, I was bitten by a pine root snake when I was young, and it was just swollen. I bought a piece, and there was no one else around at that time, so I ran home by myself, nothing happened, just pack some herbs for a few days. Now you see, can I not worry?"

Uncle Wu took a break and continued: "They all told me that your yard is well done, a deep ditch has been dug, and a group of wild boars have been raised in it. No, I came here just by licking my face. Gao Long!"

"Hey." After listening for a long time, Gao Chang probably understood a little bit.

"I've been sitting here for a long time, and everyone says that this wild boar belongs to you, and you have to make up your mind." When Uncle Wu said this, his tone was a little harder than before, as if he was talking to Gao Chang, but also like It was to express his dissatisfaction with the juniors in this courtyard.

"Hehe, what can I do? We have dug ditches around our yard, and now I'm giving away wild boars, so they're all in vain? I have to ask everyone's opinion." Gao Chang kicked Kicked the ball away.

"Then tell me, what do you all mean?" Fifth Uncle turned his attention to Zheng Guobang and Zheng Guohong. "These yards of ours are rooted together. A seed handed down by an ancestor, life is not easy nowadays. For the sake of the same ancestors, everyone should support each other, right?"

At this moment, Zheng Guobang and Zheng Guohong were silent, neither saying yes nor no, Zheng Guobang just listened with a smile, Zheng Guohong bowed his head and didn't know what he was thinking.

But Fifth Uncle couldn't just let them go: "Guobang, Gao Chang wants to give me the wild boar, what's your opinion?"

This old man, Gao Chang cursed inwardly, when did he say he would give the wild boar to him?When he asked such a question, what else could Zheng Guobang, a good old man, say?

"Fifth Uncle, you are right, what can I say?" Sure enough, Zheng Guobang, a softie, couldn't stand it any longer.

"Oh, then you have no objection, Guohong, tell me, do you have any objection?"

"Fifth Uncle, don't ask me. I said that if you have an opinion or not, it is of no use. You should first ask Gao Chang if he would like to give you the wild boar?" The question came back again, Gao Chang didn't agree to give him the wild boar, but Uncle Wu insisted on twisting his words.If Gao Chang really wants to give it away, what can they say, the wild boar belongs to others, can he block it and not let him give it away?But if you say you have no objection, they have no objection, so how can Gao Chang not send it?

"Gao Chang, the fifth uncle of the wild boar can't really let you give it away. I have an old bone, can I take advantage of you for nothing? In this way, I will exchange two hundred catties of grain for a wild boar with you, how about it?" Fifth uncle After hitting a hard nail with Zheng Guohong, he turned around and spoke soft words to Gao Chang.

"Fifth Uncle, you are right. My family is really not short of food now. Besides, these wild boars are now guarding the house. I just replace them with food and eat them. The people in our yard can't agree, right? Guys?"

Gao Chang looked at the people in the yard in a blink of an eye, but there was no one who answered. He couldn't help but feel a little cold. He wanted to be a good person. It's this time, and he still has his own small thoughts.

"Gao Chang, everyone in your yard seems to have no objection." Fifth Uncle said to Gao Chang with a smile.

"Then it seems that I was thinking about it. The people in our yard are soft-hearted, thinking that everyone in our village has the same ancestors, isn't it? Hehe, the wild boar who guards the house probably wants to separate a few of them. When Gao Chang said this, the faces of the people in the yard changed a little, but still no one stood up.

"Hey, it's not a gift or a gift. It's said that we exchange food."

"What do you want to change? My family really doesn't lack this little food. Since everyone has such a heart, I can't be a bad person, so I'll give it away!"

"Then how are you going to send Gao Chang?" Old Ninth Uncle beside him asked with a straight face.

"Yo, when did you sit there, Old Ninth Uncle? I still think you're not here." Gao Chang smiled with his mouth hooked: "No, everyone in our yard thinks this pig should be given away, so let's give it away." Send it off, I shouldn't be blocking everyone's way! Don't you think so?"

"Gao Chang!" Zheng Guohong yelled Gao Chang, obviously not agreeing with his approach.

"Guohong." Gao Chang called Zheng Guohong's name directly: "I said that you are neither the village chief nor the dean. Everyone said to give it away, but you said it would be useful if you didn't give it away?"

"Who said it was going to be given away?" Zheng Guohong asked.

"Zheng Zhanpeng, tell me, should we send this wild boar or not?" Gao Chang directly called the roll this time. This kid always felt that Gao Chang took advantage of the men in the yard digging this pig trench, and he never thought about it. It's too balanced, maybe today is a bit of a good show.

"The pig is yours. Do you want to give it away or not? Ask me what to do?" Zheng Zhanpeng replied angrily.

"Does everyone mean the same?" Gao Chang asked again, this time no one answered, as long as they were not called, no one wanted to make such a mistake. Everyone is offended.But they really didn't expect Gao Chang to send the wild boar outside like this. Uncle Wu and the others said that they would not want the food in exchange for him.

There is no suspense about the next progress. Seven of the twelve wild boars were divided, and the yard at the end of the stream was small, so they were divided into three. Uncle Wu and the others went to the yard in Shangkan, and they were divided into four. At most, five heads are left.

At this point, there were only five sparse wild boars left under the ditch around their yard. Gao Chang sent those two groups away and took nothing from them except a basketful of good words. He was alone at the edge of the pig ditch. After standing for a while, I yawned and went to eat. After such a toss, the food should have been cold long ago.

"How could you do this?" Old Ninth Uncle asked Gao Chang as he passed the hall.

"Why can't I do this?" Gao Chang scratched a lump on his neck that had just been bitten by a mosquito, and walked past Old Ninth Uncle without stopping.

Everyone in this entire courtyard wanted to be a good person, and no one would take the lead, so why would he want to stand up for them? He also wanted to be a good person, and he didn't want to watch other people die in the courtyard.If he doesn't give the wild boar at this moment, it means he alone, and it has nothing to do with other people in the yard. Then when people die in the other two yards, the other party will only resent Gao Chang.

If you want to blame, you can blame Old Ninth Uncle for coming up with this idea too early. If there are more snakes and insects, a few people will die in their yard first, and then this idea will be raised, and then this pig trench will be dug. Pig, the people in the yard must not have the attitude they have today.

Chen Yuzhen left rice for Gao Chang. The two meals were placed in Dahai bowls, covered with plates, and they were still slightly warm to the touch. He took out a canned fish and a canned meat from the cellar.

"Rhubarb, eat well, our family will depend on you in the future."

"Hmph, the seven wild boars have grown so big that they can be eaten for a month after roasting." Rhubarb chewed the luncheon meat unhappily.

Gao Chang sighed and touched its neck: "Human society is very complicated, you don't understand."

Rhubarb swallowed a can of meat in two or three gulps, raised his head and licked the corner of his mouth, then snorted lightly: "I don't understand, don't you just want them to die?"

"What you said is wrong, and your thinking is very problematic. Life and death are their own business. We are not obliged to look after people's homes." Gao Chang taught earnestly and earnestly.

"Then what should our family do?" Thinking that he would only be able to sleep half of the time in the future, Rhubarb felt very depressed.

"Don't worry, isn't there a Miaozai here?" Miaozai is the name Gao Chang gave this little wild cat.

"It?" Rhubarb glanced at the little wild cat named Miaozai. It has been raised for a long time, but it still hasn't grown up much, and it is still thin. Right now, it is putting its whole head into the jar to lick the soup.

"Look carefully these two days, I'm going to concentrate on breaking through the third floor." Gao Chang said and was going to meditate on the bed.

"The mood is not stable, be careful of getting mad." Da Huang stretched out his legs and kicked the can of canned fish to the side, and Miao Zai immediately rushed over, but the wire was too short, so he almost couldn't reach the can. .

"Didn't you say that these are all made up in novels to deceive people?" Gao Chang didn't take his warning seriously.

"Anyway, it's not good for practice." It doesn't want Gao Chang to plant hidden dangers because of his quick success.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

Gao Chang sat cross-legged on the bed, smiled and looked at Da Huang and closed his eyes. From his eyes, there was nothing but calmness.That's right, you can't have your cake and eat it too, he knew early on that living in the village has many conveniences and benefits, but there are also some troubles.Since he already had a choice, why should he be angry and dissatisfied?

Da Huang stared at Gao Chang who was sitting on the bed for a long time, then stretched out the leg tied with the wire, and Miao Zai finally got his wish and hugged the pot that hadn't been licked clean.
