Bianshanhan [farming]

Before dawn, Li Qingwen was woken up by the two balls beside him. When a child wakes up, he doesn't know what security is, and he looks around with his head and body.

Opening his eyes, before he could see clearly, he smelled the smell of alcohol. Li Qingwen wondered, he had just drank a glass yesterday, and didn't touch a little bit more, so why did he feel like he had been stabbed in the wine tank.

In my dream yesterday, I was struggling with alcohol, so it wouldn't be possible to bring the smell of alcohol out of my dream.

While grabbing the two nephews to put on their clothes and rinsing their mouths, Li Qingwen was still thinking in his heart that there was no smell of alcohol in his mouth.

Before thinking about it, Li Maoyu and Fang finished the meal and called them over to eat.

Sitting among a group of people, Li Qingwen didn't see Jiang Cong. He thought he was practicing boxing and kicking, so he didn't ask any more questions.

After eating, Li Zhengliang and his brothers had disappeared. Li Qingwen went home by himself, and saw that his yard was full of people, all of them holding pockets and so on. His elder brother was packing sea salt for someone.

The salt is exchanged with the boss of the ship and the crew. When they come back, they will exchange the salt and fellow villagers for food and various dry goods. For those who have neither food nor extra things, they still use helpers to pay for it. It's spring, and it must be busy again.

The room was also full of people. In the east room, Li Maoxian was holding a booklet made by his youngest son, reconciling accounts with each household, and distributing the money. The money was not only the wages for making candles, but also the medicine collected by the neighbors.

The big guys entrusted Li Qingwen to sell the medicines they collected, and they could remember clearly how much they had.

Liushan County used to be sparsely populated with medicinal herbs, and the villagers did not recognize them. After arriving in the border town, the women of each family followed Zhou Yao for a few days and were taught to recognize some. Not to mention, I really dug some.

Of course, these are just small troubles, those who go to the birch grove and the forest to collect more, Ganoderma lucidum and various medicinal materials are packed back in sacks.

Veteran farmers who have been farming all their lives, the most money they have seen in decades is actually collected and sold in their spare time. This is really exciting and dumbfounding.

The accounts are very clear, but the big guys are only willing to take a small half of the money. They just collect the medicine, but the Li Qingwen brothers have to go thousands of miles away to sell it for money. Then I realized it.

In the Westinghouse, a group of women surrounded Mrs. Chen tightly, and there were needles and threads they wanted in several large bags on the kang.

Li Qingwen saw that everyone was busy, so he found a soft brush, combed the whole body of Tianzao thoroughly, repaired the hooves, held his head and talked for a while, added grass to it, and then carried the bucket to clean and massage the other wild horses .

When Li Qingwen went to the stables, Li Qingfeng had already rode his pony out for a circle and came back.

The little pony has grown into a slender and healthy horse. The care of these years has not been in vain. Every time Li Qingfeng rides the horse, he will attract countless envious eyes.

Yakut wild horses have long hair and tend to tangle easily, making it very troublesome to comb. Li Qingwen was sweating profusely in the stable.

The shed here is divided into several parts, and the warmest place is for the mares carrying their cubs. From winter to spring, more than 50 ponies will be born, and this long stable will continue to expand .

After a while, a group of half-grown children from the village also gathered around the stable, asking Li Qingwen about the capital, and helping to take care of the horse. They were not only interested in the thick-haired horse, but also longed for thousands The most prosperous capital city outside.

One of the older children wiped the snot from his face and asked Li Qingwen if reading was fun.

Li Qingwen didn't know if reading was fun. He only listened to his father's discussion with the village elders, and went to the camp to find good scholars to teach the village children how to read. This time they came back with a lot of pens, ink, paper and inkstones.

He thought that these children should be encouraged to study hard, so he counted a few benefits of reading, and each of these children's eyes lit up when they heard it.

While talking, Zhou Yao came.

Li Qingwen washed his hands, went to the wing room and took out what Zhou Yao wanted.

Zhou Yao didn't open it to look, but squinted her eyes and said, "Yesterday's grilled fish was good."

Last night they grilled several big fish, Li Qingwen and the others only kept two, and the rest were given to the kitchen, and Zhou Yao and Ma Yongjiang divided them.

Li Qingwen nodded, "I'll bake a few more today."

Zhou Yao smiled with satisfaction.

Zhou Yao's eyes are very beautiful, and when she smiles, it's pleasing to the eye. Li Qingwen suddenly remembered something. He pulled Zhou Yao to a corner, looked around, and asked in a low voice, "There's something I want to ask you."

Zhou Yao moved her chin, motioning for him to say.

When the words came to his mouth, Li Qingwen felt that he couldn't open his mouth again, and kicked Bai Xue on the ground, not knowing how to speak.

He still doesn't know whether what Qin Dongmeng said is true or not, so he shouldn't think about these useless things...

Zhou Yao couldn't see his babble, "Do you want to ask about Jiang Cong?"

Li Qingwen looked at her in astonishment, not knowing how Zhou Yao guessed it.

Seeing his stupid appearance, Zhou Yao knew she was right, snorted, and said: "When I went to see General Lin today, I saw him, and he took the initiative to ask Ying to find those who haven't come back yet. people."

Li Qingwen was stunned. What he wanted to ask was not this, but it didn't matter now. Why did Jiang Cong ask for this job?

Li Qingwen ran away, while Zhou Yao stood where he was, glaring at his back.

Running all the way back to the camp, Li Qingwen entered the house and saw Jiang Cong packing his things, with the heavy bow and the arrow beside him.

He felt a "thump" in his heart, walked over, and said, "Brother, I heard that you are going out to find someone?"

Jiang Cong stopped what he was doing, and didn't ask him where he heard it from. He just responded, "The inspection route is fixed. I have traveled back and forth several times in the past few years. There is no reason to get lost. There should be other reasons for not coming back so late."

"That's dangerous..." Li Qingwen murmured.

"There are a lot of officers and soldiers who are going with me this time, so I have taken care of them." Jiang Cong said, "When I am away, I will go to Brother Jiang if I have something to do."

It was only at this time that Li Qingwen knew that Jiang Liping and the others were not going. Jiang Cong and the officers and soldiers of the camp were the only ones on this trip.

While he was still frowning, Jiang Cong stood up and called Li Qingwen to the back of the room.Here is a large open space, and the snow has been swept all around, forming a high snow wall to keep out the wind, with a hard soil surface exposed in the middle.

Standing next to them were a few straw targets, all of which had been stabbed in a mess. This was where Jiang Cong and the others usually practiced boxing and archery.

Jiang Cong took down a bow and an arrow from the wooden shelf and handed them to Li Qingwen.

Although Li Qingwen was puzzled, he still took it.

Jiang Cong asked him to shoot at the target in front of him, and Li Qingwen did as he did. He drew his bow and shot an arrow. The arrow pierced through the blown straw and stuck in the snow behind him.

He didn't miss the target, but passed through the hole in the target. If calculated according to the number of rings in his previous life, he should be in the seventh ring.

Jiang Cong put the quiver beside Li Qingwen, pressing on his shoulder, "Concentrate, and sink your right shoulder by two points when you draw the bow."

Li Qingwen knew this time, Jiang Cong wanted to teach him archery, why so suddenly?

Without giving him a chance to ask questions, Jiang Cong kept asking him to draw the bow, correcting his posture and strength.

Li Qingwen touched the bow a limited number of times, but it went smoothly at the beginning. Under Jiang Cong's guidance, each arrow was closer to the heart than each other.

Repetitive movements are the most tiring. Within a quarter of an hour, Li Qingwen's shoulders were sore and his bare hands were red from the cold. Jiang Cong didn't seem to notice it, but just told him not to stop.

Li Qingwen originally wanted to ask something, but Jiang Cong didn't seem to want to answer, he just wanted to teach him how to practice archery, and it was at this moment when he was leaving, people couldn't help thinking about it...

"Snapped!"

Li Qingwen was hit on the back, interrupting his thoughts.

Jiang Cong looked at him expressionlessly, "What did you say just now, your elbows are sticking out to the sky."

Li Qingwen was stunned by the beating. Jiang Cong didn't seem to have touched him for so long. What happened today?

He didn't know yet that this was just the beginning. Next, Jiang Cong would correct him whenever he lost his mind or had a wrong posture. If he made the same mistake more than twice, he would be beaten.

Although the beating was not severe, it was rarely encountered by Li Qingwen.

He really wanted to throw away the bow and arrow, but looking at Jiang Cong's deep pool-like eyes, he was a little bit hesitant, holding his breath and saying, "I'm too tired to lift my hands."

Seeing the trembling of his hanging arms, Jiang Cong said, "Continue."

Li Qingwen's eyes widened slightly, feeling that the person in front of him today was very strange.

Jiang Cong met his gaze without dodging, and said, "Since you want to learn archery, you should listen to me."

Li Qingwen's anger was immediately quenched. He really said this.

Although they were not affected by the change in the capital city, Li Qingwen was deeply impressed by the uneasy experience. Later, he heard that Jiang Cong and the soldiers had experienced a fierce battle at the pier. He suddenly realized that a person with a strong body and good skills It's also very important, so I told Jiang Cong that I want to learn some boxing and archery.

Since he said it on his own initiative, Li Qingwen couldn't tell the difference, so he could only raise his heavy arms and continue to practice.

Having seen Jiang Cong teach Ma Yongjiang and the fourth brother, he knew that he was so strict with them, but Li Qingwen still felt a little sad in his heart, thinking that he was different...

The more Jiang Cong was like this, Li Qingwen didn't want to show weakness. He put away all his unnecessary emotions, only looked at the grass target in front of him, and didn't say a word when his hand was cut by the string.

He was trying to keep up, but Jiang Cong told him to stop and bandage the wound himself.

Li Qingwen tied the cloth indiscriminately. Jiang Cong looked at him and said coldly, "Is this how you ruin your body?"

Li Qingwen's head was buzzing with anger, and he turned to leave, but was dragged back by Jiang Cong.

This time he was merciless, he was almost toppled down, and then he was supported by the instigator before he could stand firmly.

Unable to break free from his strength, Li Qingwen clenched his fists, raised his fist at Jiang Cong, and finally dropped it, turning his head away, not wanting to look at him.

Jiang Cong looked at him with thousands of flashes in his eyes, and slowly let go of his hand.

Li Qingwen immediately left without looking back.
