Bianshanhan [farming]

Li Qingwen asked his eldest brother and father to look at the wood. Li Maoxian said that it was camphor wood, and those that were completely submerged in the water could be fished out for use.

He can't make sense, but the old carpenters have passed it down like this.

Li Qingwen thought that it might be that there is less oxygen underwater, which limits some microorganisms and may not have such a big impact on wood.

Eventually, the exposed part of the wood burned away.

Each sledge was filled with stones, and everyone went back.

When leaving, Li Qingwen glanced at the mountains across the river, thinking that the next time he came back, it might be another snow season. After the weather warmed up, the river would thaw. It was too wide and there was no bridge. passed.

Thinking about it at this time, the rivers are frozen, and it seems to be convenient.

When he returned home this time, Li Qingwen stopped digging stones and took out the seeds collected in the forest last autumn and winter, as well as those bought in the capital, and started breeding.

This time he is not alone, his mother, sister-in-law and aunt will help.

The vegetables in the basket were pulled out again regardless of their size, and the seeds soaked in warm water filled the corners.

Reading, practicing calligraphy, practicing archery, and looking after seeds, when I have time, I go to Zhou Congxin to find out if there is any news about Jiang Cong and those officers and soldiers going out to find people.

When Qi Min and Lao Sun were in the camp, they would give Li Qingwen some punches.

Li Qingwen was so busy all day long that Mrs. Chen couldn't see it anymore, so she pushed him out to get some air.

Not wanting to worry his mother, Li Qingwen went outside for a walk.

The people from the capital traveled a hundred miles around, and according to Fengshui, mountain shape and defensive position, they had already selected the place to build the border city, which was eight miles east of the camp.

Li Qingwen went to take a look at the new site. There were people cleaning up snow and weeds. This year was warmer earlier than usual, and the permafrost would melt earlier, so we could start digging the foundation earlier.

They lived together for three or four years, almost all of these officers and soldiers knew Li Qingwen, and told him to build the inner city first. The inner city has a radius of three miles. The city gates and government offices have been drawn on paper, and they will start work after the weather is warm.

After talking with the officers and soldiers for a while, Li Qingwen walked back against the wind.

In the far south of the camp, there are several places where smoke is coming out. It is Zheng Zhun who is leading people to burn lime. The lime kiln is not far from the brick kiln, and there are many people working.Everyone spared no effort. Although they knew that Zheng Zhun was not an official, they knew a lot and deserved everyone's respect.

Li Maoxian and Zheng Zhun have very good tempers, and now Zheng Zhun would come to Li's house for dinner from time to time.

The brick kilns have been burning since last year, and the bricks that have been fired have piled up into several hills. These brick kilns will not stop in the future. Everyone wants to live in a brick and tile house when they move to the new city, and the green bricks must be burned.

After going out and walking a lot, Li Qingwen felt sleepy early this day, and the two at home went out to play restlessly, so he fell asleep when no one shouted.

Falling asleep, Li Qingwen felt a little out of breath, as if something was pressing on his legs, feet, chest... his hands and his face seemed to be covered with heavy wool pads...

After struggling to breathe, Li Qingwen opened his eyes, and saw a hairy butt sitting under his nose, and as he breathed and breathed, the white soft hair was blown out into a charming little pit.

Li Qingwen closed his eyes, he must be dreaming.

Just when he was about to go back to sleep without distracting thoughts, his face was licked by something hot and soft, and the sound of a dog cub came from his ears.

Opening his eyes again, he met a pair of brown bean eyes, the hairy buttocks were gone, replaced by a furry head, this little head was covered with black and white fluff, and the little black nose tried to arch his buttocks. Face.

Li Qingwen couldn't help raising his hand to touch it, but his arm was heavy. When he moved, it seemed that something jumped off the quilt, and then he watched helplessly as several hairballs surrounded his face.

Some of these hairballs were off-white and some were brown. They tilted their heads and looked at Li Qingwen. Li Qingwen saw the word "curious" in their eyes.

At this time, two dogs barking came from outside, the voices were somewhat familiar, Li Qingwen was taken aback, and sat up holding the puppy standing on him, and then he saw that there were many people standing or lying on the quilt and kang More than a dozen puppies...

As soon as he moved, the little things on the kang jumped up excitedly, wanting to play with Li Qingwen.

Li Qingwen was obsessed with entertaining these little guests. Hearing the movement of Westinghouse, Mrs. Chen came over to take a look and saw his son playing with the puppy. He couldn't help laughing and said, "When did you wake up? You, I wanted to call you, but he said there was no rush..."

Li Qingwen didn't even put on his robe, he was holding six of them in his hands and several on his lap, he didn't want their smooth fur to be dirty, so he moved step by step and brought a bunch of fur balls to the east room.

Liu He was sitting on the kang drinking tea, when he looked back and saw him like this, he smiled and said, "They really like you."

Carrying one of them on the kang, Li Qingwen sat across from Liu He, "Is your hand okay? Is it all right?"

Liu He nodded, "Okay."

"Did the people in your tribe know about making a hole in the table of your tribe?" Li Qingwen still remembered this.

"It's not broken." Liu He held the rough cup in his hand and said, "That's how it was originally."

Liu He didn't explain some secrets about the tribe too clearly, but only reassured Li Qingwen that they didn't destroy the sacred objects of the tribe.

Liu and his tribe have been entrenched here for many years. They can be regarded as decent natives. There is something Li Qingwen wanted to ask him a long time ago, "The officers and soldiers of our camp have not returned for a long time. Do you know their whereabouts?"

Liu He frowned and shook his head slowly, "We also patrol the mountains, but most of them are near the forest, and we haven't seen any traces of them."

Just like what Jiang Cong said, the patrolling people may not have lost their way, they may have been in trouble, but no one escaped, and I feel more and more uneasy when I think about it.

Li Qingwen had always suspected that this matter had something to do with the elusive Luo Cheguo, Liu He said with a heavy heart: "Besides Luo Cheguo, you also have to be careful of the common people, the captured prince has returned safely."

Li Qingwen was stunned for a moment, "C, sneaked back from the capital?"

Is the defense so unbearable in an important place in the capital? !

"No, he was redeemed by Puju people with beauties and treasures." Liu He said: "The old emperor before you was too stupid, and his subordinates were still greedy."

Li Qingwen couldn't say a word, Liu He stayed in the deep mountains and old forests, and knew more than he, who had been to the capital...

Li Qingwen asked them how the tribe was doing, and if they had met people from the Luoche Kingdom again. Hearing that Lin Xiuyun and their tribe had also been missing, his heart was heavy.

Liu He said seriously: "Actually, besides saying goodbye, I have another important thing to tell you this time."

Li Qingwen was stunned, "Where are you going? Will you come back in the future? Was it forced by Luoche Kingdom? If so, your tribe can join hands with our camp to deal with this enemy."

It was hard for him to make such a friend, and he was really reluctant.

"Our tribe makes a living by herding deer, so we had to move around, not to avoid the Luoche Kingdom." Liu He took a sip of tea and said, "The reason for leaving this time is mainly to cope with this year's cold weather."

"Cold day?" Li Qingwen didn't understand very well, but he felt uncomfortable when he heard it.

"Our clan drives deer according to the wind direction and lichen and moss all year round. For a long time, the clan knows how to read the sky. The patriarch and elders all speculate that there may be a severe cold this year, so we must prepare early."

This is also the second reason why Liu He came here to look for Li Qingwen. He knew that people like Li Qingwen made a living from planting, and they were also afraid of drastic changes in the weather, and worried that they would be caught off guard, so he came here to tell them.

Li Qingwen and the others have only been in the border town for a few years, so they don't even know what the weather here is like.

Well, there is no clue about the loss of officers and soldiers, and there is such a shocking news that Li Qingwen's eyes and brows seem to be pressed by a huge stone, and he can't lift it up.

"Thank you." Li Qingwen was really grateful to him, and Liu He really helped him a lot.

"You're welcome." Liu He said sincerely, "Our patriarch told me when he came here that he would like you to visit the tribe when he comes back next time."

"Definitely, definitely." Li Qingwen really wanted to come to the door to thank him.

Liu He didn't know how long it would take to come back after leaving this time, they were all going with the wind, so he didn't leave immediately this time, and planned to stay at Li Qingwen's house for one night.

The children outside the camp were all overwhelmed. They gathered around the yard of Li Qingwen's house in a dark group, staring at the dogs, big and small, at the door. No matter how curious they were, they didn't dare to touch them. scary.

It was only after Li Qingwen came out that he realized that a bunch of big dog brothers had come, and the two brothers' heads were arched, and Li Qingwen couldn't stand still.

When Liu He came this time, he brought more than 20 puppies of one to three months old on the snowmobile, and said that he took them to soak in the Nuanhe River and let them out.

Half of these naughty pups followed him into the house, while others squatted on the snowmobile, eyeing the children around outside.

Li Qingwen held the heads of the two brothers and rubbed them for a while, then pulled out the pike one by one and chopped them open to make food for them.

During this period, the big dog was still reserved, and the little dogs grabbed his fur robe one by one and climbed onto Li Qingwen's body, climbed onto his shoulders, squatted obediently, and looked around with piercing eyes.

Each of them looks majestic, but when they stand for a while, they will be pulled to the ground by the brothers behind them, and they will roll like balls for a while before they can get up.

Li Qingwen's body became a paradise for puppies, and he couldn't touch it enough by himself, so he kept Liu He staying for a few more days.

This place is not close to the forest, Liu He didn't dare to stay longer, thought for a while, and said: "They like you, and they can stay if they want."

Li Qingwen was overjoyed, and immediately stopped harassing Liu He, and turned around with the dogs.
