Bianshanhan [farming]

Because it was still dark because he was thinking about going home, everyone in the house got up, and Li Qingwen followed him, and then he found someone tied up in the corner.

The man didn't bark, but was still trying to nod to greet him.

"What, what's going on here?" Li Qingwen looked at this strange man while putting on his clothes.

"Yesterday, you were sneaky and wanted to steal something, but you were caught by your elder brother Jiang."

As Li Qingrui said, he loosened the rope on the man's body, "Those who have hands and feet, let's do some serious work in the future."

The man nodded like a pounding garlic, the contents of his mouth had already been pushed off by his tongue, "Thank you, Brother Li."

"You know me?" Li Qingrui looked surprised.

"I know, I know." The man stood up and stretched his arms and legs, "Thanks to your guidance, we were able to get here from Bingzhou."

Because Jiang Cong didn't tie the rope tightly, this man didn't suffer too much. After one night, he was scared of what he should be afraid of. I moved a lot of things, just, just come over and have a look, your lord has a lot, just go around me for a while..."

The men outside tied up everything, got water for the horses, and then came in to eat dry food.

Hearing that this person was fleeing famine together, the big guys didn't dislike him a little bit. Seeing him staring at people eating and swallowing, Li Qingshun gave him a piece of dry food and said, "Everyone's children go to the seaside to find food. Yes, why do you do such immoral things?"

The man nodded and thanked Weiwei, while eating dry food, said: "I can't get enough to eat, and I can't even pick up a bucket of meat. It doesn't matter if you get frostbite. If you touch the water, and the wind blows, the fever will kill you..."

This winter, how many people suffered from fever, he didn't want to lose his life like this.

He didn't even deny his sneaky behavior, Li Qingwen felt that this person was quite powerful.

This man was a smooth climber, seeing Li Qingrui and the others' expressions softened, he called out one after another, saying that he would never dare again in the future, and wanted to go to the border town together to ask for a living, begging them to take him with him.

If other people begged like this, Li Qingrui might have nodded, but this person wanted to steal their goods, and he was afraid that he would go to the border town and harm the villagers. Otherwise, you will be welcome in the future.

A pampered young man like Zhou Fengnian is not comfortable living on the boat, and Lin Su also felt uncomfortable after the night, and he didn't even close his eyes. He woke up early in the morning, and his eyes were blue. Start early and arrive at the border town early.

Li Qinghong and the others didn’t come back, so there were a few more horses and sledges. Originally, they wanted to tie them to the wood of the sledge and walk along. The guests in the capital were very interested in the sledge, and they wanted to try it. This problem was solved easily. .

Chen Wen waited here for a few months, and he didn't stay idle. He went to the sea to get some things, and exchanged a lot with the people here. When he returned, the sledge was full.

As soon as a ray of light appeared in the sky, Zhou Fengnian didn't bother the Linsu officials, but only explained a few words to their officers and soldiers, and the group set off to the north.

After they left, the boss of the boat sent the things to Li Wenwen's house. The three of them were both happy and guilty.

Soon, at dawn, those who went to the seaside to look for food saw the big boat.

When Chen Shanhai and others heard the news and ran to the shore, they found that the boat was empty. The people on board arrived last night and left early this morning.

When they failed to catch up again, they were almost dying of anger, and they stomped their feet on the spot, but there was nothing they could do.

Li Qingwen went to drive the sledge instead of the eldest brother, and the three of Fang's mothers sat on it, tightly wrapped in furs, looking at the thick snow on the ground, amazed that such a heavy snow could fall, can this, this really melt away?

Now this month, Hongzhou is already hot, and it is still freezing here.

Chen Wen talked with Zhou Congxin, Li Qingrui and others, only then did he realize that the capital city had changed, and he sweated for them. At least they all came back, otherwise it would be too bad luck.

They walked ahead, followed by a small tail. In the morning, the person Li Qingrui disagreed with was walking along the marks of the sledge. His clothes were not too thick. When he was resting, Li Qingwen glanced back , I feel that this person may not be able to persist halfway.

Li Qingrui frowned when he saw it. He made it clear that this person still wanted to go. Anyone can go this way, and he can't drive people back.

When starting again, Li Qingwen turned his head frequently, Jiang Cong turned his head back and asked, "Do you want to go with him?"

Looking at Jiang Cong's lackluster eyes, Li Qingwen shook his head very quickly.

When sleeping in the snow for the first night, Fang thought she would freeze to death, but she didn't expect that she was still warm in the sleeping bag.

After everyone settled down, Li Qingrui held the torch and went to the back. Seeing the man lying in the snow nest, he couldn't help sighing, "You'll freeze to death after sleeping all night."

The man's nose flowed to his mouth, and he froze. He pulled Li Qingrui's arm and begged him to let him go to the border town, and he would never do anything sneaky again in the future.

Li Qingrui hesitated, he didn't want to see people die in front of his eyes, and felt that it would be troublesome.

Li Qingwen was warming his hands by the fire in the tent. Jiang Cong had already closed his eyes and fell asleep because he was going to be on duty in the middle of the night. When Li Qingwen returned, he found that he was sleeping in a single sleeping bag, which could only fit one person.

Li Qingwen had no choice but to crawl under the bed of his elder brother.

After waking up, they continued on their way. The newcomers from the capital looked around as they walked. It was the first time for them to come to this kind of icy and snowy place, and there was really nothing but snow.

Li Qingrui slept with his younger brother for a few nights, he was more puzzled than Li Qingwen, and asked, "Why don't you sleep with your brother Jiang, doesn't it mean that his bed is warmer?"

Big brother has a really good memory. Li Qingwen pretended to be dead in his sleeping bag. He still remembered what he said years ago. This is not a good thing. In other words, he might still remember the incident on the boat...

Li Qingrui did remember what happened on the boat, and thought that Li Qingwen was thin-skinned and afraid that something bad would happen again, so he didn't dare to sleep with Jiang Cong, and smiled and kicked his brother's ass.

With such a thin skin, you are going to marry a daughter-in-law, so you dare not go to the kang?

Li Qingwen vowed to pretend to be dead to the end, but he was furious in his heart. When he opened his eyes, his elder brothers were very protective of him. In the past two years, they were all loyal to teasing him...

It's not unreasonable for Li Qingwen to slander, he used to be ignorant and stupid, and his family members were afraid that he would be bullied, so they didn't have to protect him tightly.Later, he recovered, alive and kicking, energetic like a calf every day, and the bad thoughts of being an older brother also emerged.

They were all the same sleeping bag, but Li Qingwen felt that this one was not so warm, so he folded Jiang Cong's single sleeping bag during the day and pulled out a double one.

As a result, Jiang Cong was on duty all night when he was sleeping...

When Li Qingwen was puzzled, Jiang Cong came back carrying a man who had passed out from the cold. This man named Zhao Xiaowu was also stubborn, and he followed him for so many days.

Of course, he was able to survive these days because Li Qingrui gave him food and a leather mattress, otherwise he would have been frozen into a popsicle long ago.

Li Qingwen squatted on the ground and watched Jiang Cong wipe the man's body with snow vigorously. Remembering the pain from rubbing the injury, his ankle couldn't help shaking.

After Zhao Xiaowu woke up, he begged them to take him in again.

Li Qingrui looked at Jiang Cong, and Jiang Cong said expressionlessly, "If I catch you sneaking again, don't blame me for being rude."

Zhao Xiaowu answered yes again and again, Li Qingwen served him a bowl of hot soup, Zhao Xiaowu drank it while shivering, it was cold inside and outside, he thought he would not survive.

When they walked further north, there was a wide and deep snow ditch in front of them. It was clearly not there when they came, but now it lay across their road.

The soil ditch is washed by water, and this snow ditch is blown out by the wind.

Seeing this ditch, Li Qingwen thought of the huge snowstorm they encountered when they took people to the border town at this time last year. That snowstorm without warning blew off several ears, fingers and toes of their people. It was a bloody impression. profound.

I thought it was just a once-in-a-century disaster, but I didn't expect it to happen again.

Li Qingwen couldn't help shivering.

Jiang Cong and Li Qingrui also looked serious. They didn't rush down, and went to explore the surroundings with Chen Wen first.

Pulling away the snow that was blown later, revealing traces on the frozen soil, one can imagine how terrifying the wind is.

The only good thing is that when the wind blows, they avoid it.

When crossing the snow ditch, it took a lot of effort, because the snow blown by the wind is so deep that people's heads cannot be exposed when they fall, and it is impossible for a horse to move.

Moreover, the snow is wide and thick, and it was exhausting to shovel the snow with a shovel. There was no way, Chen Wen and Jiang Cong rode horses to explore the road, and finally found a slightly thinner place, but they had to use people to shovel the snow to go. , or don't think about it.

This time I can gain momentum.

Well, they were afraid of what might happen on the road, so they brought a lot of shovels, each of them took a handful, and started to work.

Li Qingwen worked for an hour, and his body was sweating. He wanted to take off his hat, but Jiang Cong put it on again, "Wear it."

In such a cold day, exposing his sweaty head doesn't mean he has to freeze for good or bad.

Li Qingwen didn't take it off after all.

Seeing that Zhou Fengnian was also working with him, several people from the capital were surprised. Hearing that Mr. Zhou is proud and rich, did this, this all start by himself?

In fact, Zhou Fengnian didn't want to be tired, he just wanted to lie down on the kang and rest earlier.

After shoveling a small path, the sledge could barely pass. When we reached the bottom of the snow ditch, we saw the high snow layers rising on both sides, and realized that the snow was really thick.

Of course, when they went up the ditch, they had to dig again.

Li Qingwen sweated and blew the wind, but in the end he was still freezing, tears and snot streaming down his nose, it was very painful.

He was not alone, the two boys of the Jiang family, and Li Qingshi also fell down.

All three of their noses were blocked, and it was even more uncomfortable not to have a runny nose.

Bring the medicine with you, cook a jar, no more than four people, each with a bowl of black medicine soup.

He just drank a bowl of medicine, but felt that his whole body was soaked in the smell of medicine. Li Qingwen returned to the tent with a bitter tongue, and was stuffed into the sleeping bag by Jiang Cong.

When Jiang Cong was about to come in, Li Qingwen pushed him away and covered his sleeping bag tightly, "I sleep alone."

Jiang Cong looked at him, his cheeks were white and pink, the corners of his eyes were a little wet, and there was a red spot on the tip of his nose, which twitched from time to time, looking pitiful, unable to open his eyes, still keeping himself away point.

Li Qingwen was in a daze, didn't see the expression on Brother Jiang's face, he struggled to move his swollen throat, and said in a low voice, "Yes, I will pass on the disease and illness to you..."

After he finished mumbling, Jiang Cong stood still, seeing that he had closed his eyes, then leaned over and leaned into his ear, "Do you want to sleep with Big Brother Jiang?"

The person who had almost fallen into sleep unconsciously let out an "um", and Jiang Cong undressed and lay down in the sleeping bag.

When Li Qingrui came back, he touched his younger brother's head. It didn't feel very hot. Seeing that Jiang Cong was taking care of him, he stuck his head in the bed. His bones ached after being tired for the past two days.

Li Qingwen thought he was sleeping with his eldest brother, so he rolled aside consciously. Jiang Cong pulled him back, but he struggled a bit before he had enough strength, and said a few words, but he didn't know what they were.

Jiang Cong asked him in a low voice, "Where did your mink coat go?"

The harassed person who was trying to fall asleep frowned, let out a sigh of relief, and hummed, "Sold it for silver...the bow..."

"What did you dream about the day you fell?" Jiang Cong whispered into his ear.

The person who was originally as slow as a tortoise covered the place in front of him, wrinkled his face, and said very clearly, "Don't touch it!"

Jiang Cong looked at him for a long time, buried his head in Li Qingwen's hair, and said a few words.

The breath around him was so familiar, Li Qingwen's stiff body slowly loosened.

The wind was strong at night, whimpering at first, and then roaring past, several tents swayed in the wind and snow, looking extraordinarily fragile and vulnerable.

When Li Qingwen woke up again, his head and throat didn't hurt anymore, only his nose still had some snot, and Zhou Yao's image in his mind immediately became a little higher.

When putting on his clothes, he found that his inner clothes were too short, blinked his eyes, and said happily, "I've grown up!"

This medicine was really worth taking, just one night, not only healed up, but also had such miraculous effects, Li Qingwen suddenly felt that Zhou Yao was shining in his head, the golden light of the miracle doctor and the white glitter of silver.

Jiang Cong was cooking porridge on the fire. Hearing this, he glanced over and said, "You sweated in the middle of the night and wet your clothes. I'll change you."

Li Qingrui laughed loudly, came over and patted his head, looked at the snot dripping from his nose, and hid in disgust, "Isn't it burning stupid?"

Li Qingwen is like a seedling whose roots have been dug up, slumped in the sleeping bag, unable to stretch the four leaves.

Although he didn't grow taller overnight, Li Qingwen did recover for the most part. The other three were still breathing through one nostril, and he had already swallowed two large bowls of porridge.

Fang patted Li Qingwen's shoulder, and said happily: "Eat more, eat a lot, and all diseases are not close to you."

At first, they thought that they would have a smooth journey after crossing this snow ditch, but they didn't go far, and they encountered another one.

This ditch was smaller than the first one, but it still had to be dug. This time, Jiang Cong didn't let Li Qingwen do it, and it took them a long time to get through.

Mrs. Fang also went to drive the sledge, and let the horses who had just dug the snow lie down to rest. These horses are very honest, so they don't need to take too much effort to drive them.

When they approached the dense forest, they encountered a third snow ditch, but this time they didn't need to do it. The people who greeted them here had already dug it.

From a distance, I saw some black spots in the snow. At first I thought it was a tree, but when I got closer, I saw that they were people. Everyone was wearing thick leather clothes, and their faces were covered tightly, without showing any features.

Chen Wen opened the way ahead, and was still looking at it, when he heard the person on the opposite side shout, "But Mr. Chen and Jiang Cong?"

Chen Wen responded, and those people ran to this side. The one in front ran so fast that he almost fell, and the people behind him couldn't stop laughing.

Jiang Cong looked at Fang who was holding the rein, but didn't speak, but moved away from the sledge.

The person facing him passed the car in front and called out to Zhou Fengnian, Mr. Zhou Fengnian.

Before Zhou Fengnian could say "um", he had already left, so he couldn't help laughing.

The person who came to meet him walked back without looking back, looking at the people on the sledge while walking, and when he came to Fang, he approached and asked, "A man from the Jiang family in Xijiang Mansion?"

Mrs. Fang had long heard that there was a post station nearby, and someone was stationed here, and it was built by Jiang Liping and the others. He heard the man talking through the leather, and thought it was a fellow villager sent along with Jiang Cong and the others, and said happily: "Yes. Ah, which brother are you..."

Before she finished speaking, the interrogator pulled her off the sledge and hugged her.

Just as Fang was about to cry out in fright, she heard a familiar voice next to her ear, "Mother, this one is exhausting you!"

Hearing the man's voice, Fang's shock turned into surprise, and tears fell in an instant.

"Don't cry, your tears will freeze and hurt your eyes." Jiang Liping took off the snow goggles on her face, wiped away the tears, stared at half of his daughter-in-law's face, and then put them on again. caught."

The two boys of Jiang's family were suffering. They watched in a daze as a stranger hugged his mother, then jumped out of the car, his head was swollen due to fever, and he landed on the snow when he landed.

Seeing the two sons falling into the snow, Fang hurried to pull them, his hands trembling slightly due to excitement, "Son, son, this is your father, hurry up and call him..."

The two boys of the Jiang family were stunned.

Li Qingwen didn't recognize Jiang Liping, but he also guessed that if he ran outside in a snowy day, he must be anxious to see someone earlier.

After Fang got out of the car, he came over to lead the horse without making a sound to disturb the family reunion.

After passing the third ditch, they stopped at the post station, but found that most of the faces they didn't know were faces.

No, if you look carefully, they are somewhat familiar. Here are the Qian family who walked with them from Yuanbei City to the border city that summer, men, women and children.

These people are not in the border town, why are they in this post?

Busy with unloading things, Li Qingwen didn't think too much. He led the horses into the stable, found a broom to sweep off the snow from their heads, bodies and hooves, and then swept the snow out to avoid melting in the stable. , This puddle and that puddle of water made it uncomfortable for horses to sleep lying down or standing up.

After finishing the snow, Li Qingwen swept away the dirty things in the manger, and went to look for fodder.

He has been here before, and he is no stranger to it. He took the basket to the warehouse on the west side, opened the door, and after a burst of dust, he saw the hay piled inside.

Li Qingwen was squatting on the ground to load fodder, and suddenly heard footsteps coming from behind. Just as he turned his head, he saw a person stepping into the barn and closing the door behind him.

The barn where fodder and grain are stored is most afraid of humidity. There are no windows, and once the door is closed, it is pitch black inside.

Li Qingwen touched the fork next to him and asked, "Who?"

A hoarse voice sounded, "You still have the face to ask who I am, where did you get that bitch?!"

With obvious resentment in the interrogation, Li Qingwen held his fork and said, "I don't even know who you are, let alone who you're talking about. Don't recklessly wrong people!"

"Little pig and dog, how dare you refuse to admit it! That flamboyant woman went out with a group of your men and never came back. How dare you dare to admit it!"

Hearing the man's scolding, Li Qingwen frowned, "You mean Lin Xiuyun?"

"You remember! Haven't you forgotten how she feels..." The man spoke very quickly, kicking fodder on Li Qingwen's body as he spoke, and scolded through gritted teeth: "An adulterer is not a good thing." , damn it!"

The fodder at the door was all sifted, and most of it was dirt. When he lifted it, Li Qingwen's eyes got into the dirt, and the pain was severe.

After learning of Lin Xiuyun's tragic experience, Li Qingwen hated the Qian family very much, and now being scolded by this dog who sent his wife out, he became even more angry, and poked at him with a fork, "You are the grandson, You bastard, if I were Lin Xiuyun, I would have to stab you a few times before I leave!"

Qian Yukun was hurt by the iron fork, and threw the baskets and bags stacked by the door on Li Qingwen, "I will kill you one by one!"

As soon as the word "kill" was uttered, the door was kicked open from the outside, and Qian Yukun was knocked straight at the door and fell to the ground.

Seeing the light, Li Qingwen immediately shed tears, stepped on Qian Yukun's body and ran out, saw Jiang Cong standing outside, he turned back with confidence, and hit the struggling Qian Yukun's crotch with a heavy blow Kick.

Qian Yukun groaned in pain, curled up into a ball.

Li Qingwen dragged Jiang Cong away, only halfway through the road did he realize that the fodder had not been given to the horses, and he had to go back, but Jiang Cong took him to the stable.

There was still something in the left eye, and half of Li Qingwen's face was wet with tears. Jiang Cong pushed him against the wall, put his chin in his hands, and said, "Open your eyes."

The eyelashes of Li Qingwen's left eye trembled and slowly opened, and the tears stored in them trickled down again.

Most of the foreign objects in the eyes can be flushed out with tears, Li Qingwen hoped that the tears would flow more violently.

He was holding back his tears, when Jiang Cong blew over in one breath, Li Qingwen only felt itchy, and grinned.

Jiang Cong grabbed his chin a little harder, "It's funny to be locked in a dark room without calling for help?"

Hearing the chill in his tone, Li Qingwen immediately stopped laughing, and said honestly: "If it wasn't for the fear of killing someone, I could prick him with a fork and vomit blood."

He had been hit a few times just now, but he had some scruples. If he had changed the stick, Qian Yukun would have been beaten all over his head.
