Farmhouse strong man

One month later, when the weather was getting colder, they moved out of the yard to live in caves, cleaned the stone house they lived in before, and then protected the pens where the wild boars, goats, rabbits, and pheasants lived in the yard. Everything moved into the cave.

It happened that the weather was cold, and the wine they brewed was ready. Yuan Liuzhen, Tao Fu, and Yuan Liufeng decided to cook some wine and sit under the red maple tree to drink after discussing.

The maple tree happened to be not far in front of the yard. The maple tree was tall and tall, and the fiery red maple leaves dyed the surrounding area red. It was very beautiful. With the breeze blowing, many maple leaves fell down, which was even more beautiful.

This reminded Yuan Liuzhen that Tao Fu cooked a lot of delicious food in spring, and the scene of them sitting in the woods surrounded by spring flowers while eating and drinking scented tea was really enjoyable.

The weather is a bit colder now, but it's good to come out to cook wine and enjoy the red leaves at noon.

If you have a camera, this picture will be very beautiful.

Because there is no camera, Yuan Liufeng and Yuan Liuzhen will find a specially made wooden board for painting in order to record this beautiful moment, use the burnt branches to draw the scenery first, and then carve it with a knife, so that many beautiful pictures can be preserved. down.

It's the same today, they brought a simple stove for cooking wine, as well as wooden boards and charcoal pencils for drawing.

Tao Fu was cooking wine at the side, Yuan Liuzhen was holding Xiaoqing in one hand and Xiaoqian in the other, and Yuan Liufeng was painting at the side.

They talked and laughed from time to time, or taught Xiaoqing and Xiaoqian to speak.

They waited for Tao Fu to boil the wine before they went over to drink.

A lot of dried fruit has been added to the boiled wine, which tastes like fruit tea and tastes very good.

Yuan Liuzhen drank a glass, and asked Tao Fu to pour one. Tao Fu saw Yuan Liuzhen drank two glasses in a row, and said with a smile: "If Zhenzhen drinks any more, he will be drunk."

Yuan Liuzhen smiled after hearing this, "You can only get drunk when you mix white wine and red wine. I got drunk because of this before. I drink very well, much better than Fu."

After hearing this, Yuan Liufeng agreed: "You can only get drunk if you mix several kinds of wine together. Thinking about it, I haven't been drunk for a long time. I'll go and get out the other kinds of wine, boil each of them and drink them. Today I will If you don’t get drunk, you won’t return.”

After Yuan Liufeng finished speaking, he ran to fetch wine without waiting for Yuan Liuzhen and Tao Fu to say anything.

Tao Fu and Yuan Liuzhen looked at each other and smiled, Yuan Liuzhen suddenly approached Tao Fu and whispered, "Ah Fu drinks so little, it's good to be drunk for a while."

Tao Fu looked at Yuan Liuzhen with some embarrassment. He knew that he had talked a lot to Yuan Liuzhen when he was drunk several times before. Although he couldn't remember what he said, he knew that he had said a lot to Yuan Liuzhen.

Yuan Liuzhen looked at Tao Fu, knowing that Tao Fu might remember what happened in the past and said with a smile: "I don't know, you used to praise me for a long time when I was drunk."

When Tao Fu heard Yuan Liuzhen say that he praised Yuan Liuzhen, his face turned red instantly. He admired and admired Yuan Liuzhen very much. Yuan Liuzhen for a long time.

"Then should I drink less today?"

"That's no good. I haven't seen you drunk for a long time. You'd better drink more." Yuan Liuzhen teased.He thought Tao Fu looked cute every time he was drunk, and besides, he hadn't seen Tao Fu drunk for a long time.

"Then... well..." Tao Fuya then compromised.

When Yuan Liufeng brought over various fruit wines packed in bamboo tubes, Tao Fu actively warmed up the wine, and they enjoyed the leaves while enjoying the wine. Food was brought and they ate and drank.

Not long after, Tao Fu became drunk, and Tao Fu fell asleep peacefully leaning against a tree after being drunk.Yuan Liuzhen put the quilt on Tao Fu casually, and continued to drink with Yuan Liufeng. During the period, he did not forget to take care of Xiaoqing and Xiaoqian. Of course, he also drank in moderation. After all, if they were all drunk, no one would take care of them. Xiaoqing and Xiaoqian are gone.

The autumn scenery, the warm wind, the soft sunlight, and the beautiful scenery all made them feel happy.

When the temperature dropped a little, Yuan Liuzhen asked Yuan Liufeng to help Tao Fu to the stone house in the cave, and he also took Xiaoqing and Xiaoqian back to the stone house, while Yuan Liufeng continued to drink outside the cave.

After Yuan Liufeng left, Yuan Liuzhen put Xiaoqing and Xiaoqian, who had been coaxed to sleep, on the warm wooden baby bed, and she went to Tao Fu's side and gently squeezed Tao Fu's arm. Tao Fu moved his arm, a little awake, he Before he had time to say anything, he was hugged by Tao Fu who opened his eyes. This time, Tao Fu didn't praise him, but gently rubbed his face and said: "Zhenzhen, I finally got married with you, and I also have Xiaoqing. And Xiaoqian, I'm very happy, life is really good now, it's great to live with you, we will always be together like this, never separate."

Yuan Liuzhen smiled after hearing this, stretched out her hand to stroke Tao Fu's hair and said with a smile, "Of course, we will always be together."

After Yuan Liuzhen finished speaking, Tao Fu approached warmly and affectionately. After getting married, Tao Fu was very active, and this time he was more active than before. He couldn't help but think of what happened in the cave at that time, and Tao Fu was the same The heat, love.

After one night, both Yuan Liuzhen and Tao Fu fell asleep from exhaustion.

After waking up, they resumed the same leisurely lifestyle as before.

In a blink of an eye, almost all the leaves on the trees had fallen, and the weather became colder and colder. Not long after, the first snow fell in the forest. The hares, pheasants, and young goats that were fed in the garden were brought to the cave to feed. Tao Fu went out every day except to pick vegetables or find some food, and he did not go out often. They had more time and taught Xiaoqing and Xiaoqian when they had nothing to do. say.

And Xiaoqing and Xiaoqian also learned to speak when they were almost one year old. The first address they learned was not "Daddy or Father" in this world, but "Daddy". Yuan Liuzhen heard Xiaoqing and Xiaoqian I was so happy when I learned to say the word "Dad".Let him have a feeling of being closely connected with the 21st century.

Xiaoqing and Xiaoqian are about one year old. Xiaoqing first learned to say "Dad". Xiaoqian seems to have learned to say "Dad" in Xiaoqing. After seeing the happy people around her, she also learned to say "Dad".Judging from the personalities of the two, Xiaoqing is more obedient, while Xiaoqian is stronger and a little more lively. In many cases, the two are very similar in their voices, movements and expressions, as if carved out of the same mold, they can always give each other The three of them brought a lot of warmth and happiness.

Winter came soon, and the snow this winter seemed to be heavier than last year. It snowed all the time, and when there were almost no sunny days, the wild boars and female goats in the pens outside had to be taken to the cave to feed them.

Fortunately, in summer and autumn, they prepared a lot of hay for goats, wild boars, hares, and pheasants. They also used their spare time to pick a lot of fruits in the forest, made a lot of dried fruits, and stored a lot of food.For the convenience of Xiaoqing and Xiaoqian to drink milk, Yuan Liuzhen and Tao Fu researched together and made a lot of milk powder, so that when there is no fresh milk, it is convenient for Xiaoqing and Xiaoqian to drink, and the three of them will occasionally prepare some milk powder drink.

The meat in the forest, they made delicious jerky or bacon.They also found some millet in the forest, gathered some seeds, and collected a lot, enough food for them for a long time.

Not only did they dig a food storage cellar at the entrance of the cave, Yuan Liuzhen also asked Tao Fu to make a lot of food according to some modern techniques for making dried meat, preserved fruit, and jam.Because there is nothing to be busy with every day, and the food in the forest is relatively abundant, they collected a lot of food.

When winter comes and it snows all the time, the snow at the entrance of the cave almost covers the entire height of the entrance of the cave. They are fortunate that they have made preparations and stored so much food. Otherwise, they would have no food and only eat fish, and it would be hard for them to survive a winter. .

Because it snowed all winter, they did not come out of the cave.

In the blink of an eye, more than two months passed. They lived in the cave and could not feel the speed of time at all, only that time passed too fast.

They have lived here for more than a year, and winter is about to pass, but this year's winter is much longer than previous years. It should have been the season of blooming spring flowers, but it is still snowing, and the snow outside the cave is still not melted. out of the cave.

Tao Fu walked around the entrance of the cave, and when he came back, he said to Yuan Liuzhen and Yuan Liufeng, "Zhenzhen, second brother, I think this year's season is not right. I'm afraid there will be a famine outside. I'll go out again when the weather gets warmer."

When Tao Fu said this, Yuan Liuzhen and Yuan Liufeng were worried for a while. They wondered whether the war outside would subside, and now there was a famine. Should they stay here or leave?In any case, they can only wait for the weather to clear up and Tao Fu to go out and bring back news before making a decision.

After that day, the sky was still snowing, and they did not leave the cave.

Yuan Liufeng is still carving murals in the cave. For more than a year, Yuan Liufeng almost carved landscape paintings on the stone house where they lived and the stone walls near the place where they often ate, which looked magnificent and magnificent.

When Tao Fu is free, he will help Yuan Liufeng to carve some places that require strength.

Yuan Liuzhen hadn't written or painted much, nor practiced sword much for more than a year, but Tao Fu didn't slack off in sword practice.

Yuan Liuzhen feels that after living here, what he gained the most is that he is now more relaxed and stable, and his mood has become much more open. He does not have the lofty ambition to make contributions when he first came to this world.In other words, I am used to such a comfortable life, and I have become much less optimistic about making contributions. Such a leisurely life seems to be good.

It snows in spring, the bad thing is that they can't go out, and the food they eat hasn't improved.The trees in the forest and all kinds of animals living in the forest died one after another due to lack of food.

Ah’Ban and Ah’Ban’s domestic birds were called by Yuan Liuzhen and Tao Fu to live in the cave when the snow began to snow heavily in winter. A’Ban’s daily food was also provided by Yuan Liuzhen and the others, and their lives were better than those of the birds in the forest outside. Classes need to be nourished a lot.Ah'Ban's cubs have grown a lot since they came here, to as many as eight.Yuan Liuzhen wanted to name Ah’Ban’s child at first, but after the eight cubs broke their shells, he had already given up on this decision. However, he still named Ah’Ban’s partner Axia because the feathers on Axia’s body are more delicate than those of other cubs. The feathers on Ah'Ban's body are very colorful.

After A'Ban and the others live in the cave, Yuan Liuzhen sometimes invites A'Ban to play with Xiaoqing and Xiaoqian when they have nothing to do, and also trains A'Ban and A'Ban's children like the original training A'Ban. Therefore, A lot of things have been added.

It snowed in early spring, and it took more than a month before the weather began to warm up. However, the trees and fruit trees in the forest were affected, and it was difficult to produce abundant food.

As soon as the weather turned warm, Tao Fu planted the vegetable seeds and millet seeds collected last year, and together with Yuan Liuzhen and Yuan Liufeng moved the things from the cave to the yard.

After these things were done, Tao Fu bid farewell to Yuan Liuzhen and Yuan Liufeng, and went out to find out the news.Since he went out for a long time last time, before leaving, he specially emphasized to Yuan Liuzhen and Yuan Liufeng that it might take a lot of time to leave this time.

In order to find out the news and exchange for salt, Tao Fu not only packed a few taels of silver in his bag when he went out, but also packed several large pieces of dried meat.

When Tao Fu went out, he didn't let Yuan Liuzhen and Yuan Liufeng see him off, and he also blocked the cave to cover it up, but he didn't expect that there would be an accident after going out this time.

A day or two after Tao Fu went out, Yuan Liuzhen and Yuan Liufeng's life was still the same as before. After the weather suddenly warmed up, they stayed outside for a longer time.

Two days passed, and Tao Fu hadn't come back yet. Yuan Liuzhen became a little anxious, and Yuan Liufeng was also a little anxious.

On the third day and the fourth day, Tao Fu still didn't come back. Yuan Liuzhen felt that this was not possible. After discussing with Yuan Liufeng, he decided to call A'Ban over. Let A'Ban listen to the news first, and then make a decision. Look for Tao Fu's instructions, and after A'Ban flies away, he waits anxiously.

Knowing that Yuan Liuzhen was in a hurry, Yuan Liufeng undertook the task of cooking and took care of Xiaoqing and Xiaoqian.

Yuan Liuzhen was very disturbed and couldn't sleep well at night, but he could only wait anxiously. A'Ban didn't come back the next day, and it wasn't until the next night, when he had just put Xiaoqing and Xiaoqian to sleep, that A'Ban flew back It's just that there is no letter paper or wooden board on A'Ban's paws, only a rag, the shape of the rag, Yuan Liuzhen recognized it at a glance, it was the rag on the cuff of Tao Fu's robe.

Because of the rags that A'Ban brought back, Yuan Liuzhen instantly turned pale, knowing something had happened to Tao Fu.

He hurriedly took the rag to find Yuan Liufeng who was already asleep.

When he knocked on the door of Yuan Liufeng's room, Yuan Liufeng saw that his expression was not right, so he welcomed him into the room and sat down, then he gave Yuan Liufeng the rag from Tao Fu's cuff and said, "Second brother, this is what Ah'Ban brought back, I feel Something may have happened to Fu. I want to go out."

What Yuan Liuzhen said was unusually firm. Yuan Liufeng glanced at the rags Yuan Liuzhen placed on the table, and understood that A'Ban hadn't brought back the letter or the wooden board prepared to convey the message before, which meant that Tao Fu's hands and feet were inconvenient now. It's inconvenient, something must have happened.

Thinking of this, Yuan Liufeng's mood instantly fell to the bottom, and he became nervous, "I'll go out with you."

"No." Yuan Liuzhen looked at Yuan Liufeng and said firmly: "Xiaoqing and Xiaoqian are still young and need to be taken care of, and it's not convenient to take them out for a long time. I'll go out and see what's wrong with Fu. I will protect myself and come back as soon as possible. , Xiaoqing and Xiaoqian need to trouble the second brother to take care of them."

Yuan Liuzhen didn't want Xiaoqing and Xiaoqian to be so young, so she left Xiaoqing and Xiaoqian, but there was no way now. He didn't know what happened to Tao Fu. what to do?The only way now is for Yuan Liufeng to help take care of Xiaoqian and Xiaoqing. He should find out what is going on with Tao Fu as soon as possible and what happened, and then make plans.

Yuan Liuzhen and Yuan Liufeng agreed, and told Yuan Liufeng how to take care of Xiaoqing and Xiaoqian, and also instructed Yuan Liufeng to pay attention to safety, so they walked out of the cave from the place Tao Fu had marked before in the dark.When he lived in the cave before, when he had nothing to do, he would sometimes come with Tao Fu to set up traps in the cave, just to prevent people or animals like snakes from intruding into their living place. Now when he goes out, he follows Tao Fu Marking out the good ones made me feel even more anxious.

When he came out, he brought Ah'Ban with him, and now Ah'Ban landed quietly on his shoulder, as if he could feel his anxiety, and would rub his cheek from time to time.

Not long after, he walked smoothly to the entrance of the cave blocked by Tao Fu. He couldn't move the boulder at the entrance of the cave, so he could only find an exit filled with gravel under the boulder. That exit was only enough for one person to climb out. He didn't care, he dug up the gravel bit by bit, and when he was about to dig all the way out, he extinguished the torch, dug up the cave, climbed out with difficulty, and blocked the cave entrance again by the moonlight. After covering it up and seeing that there was nothing wrong with it, he picked up his burden and left.

Ah'Ban led the way, and he followed Ah'Ban step by step. Since the mountain road was difficult to walk, it was useless for him to be anxious, so he could only speed up his pace as much as possible and walked in the direction indicated by Ah'Ban.

He really couldn't understand why Tao Fu had an accident when he came out. The only thing he thought of might be conscription. As long as there is war in this world, forced conscription is very common, especially near the battlefield, where he meets strong villagers, even as long as he is a man. Compulsory conscription and forced food requisition.It's just that even if it's compulsory conscription, it's impossible to have both hands blocked, and there's no way to get A'Ban to bring him a message, explaining that something unexpected happened.

Thinking of their entry into the cave and what happened in Dongzhou more than a year ago, he had to wonder if this matter might have something to do with Fan Tian?

Apart from conflicts with Ayepo, Tao Fu has been pestering Tao Fu, he really can't think of anyone.

He has been very strange since before, Ayepo is always obsessed with Tao Fu, almost obsessive.

It's just that it's useless for him to think too much now, he can only rush towards Tao Fu's direction as soon as possible.

Before leaving the cave, he had already prepared a disguise. The robe he wore was the most ragged among his robes, but it was the cheapest and most favorite one he bought with Tao Fu when he was in Ligou Village. A set of robes, this set of robes looks very shabby after wearing it for too long, he smeared some mud on his face, making him look dusty, he did not bring any valuables on his body, only some dry food and pieces of meat, and his hair was also messed up. He was quite unkempt, and he thought that even people he knew wouldn't be able to recognize him at first sight.

In this way, he followed A'Ban to the direction of Tao Fu, and when he was tired, he just rested for a while and hurried on his way.

Perhaps because he hadn't practiced sword or martial arts for more than a year, his health had deteriorated a lot. Not to mention his feet hurt and he became very tired after walking for several hours. He still couldn't reach Tao Fu's place after walking for a long time.

He followed A'Ban up a few mountains, passed by a few uninhabited villages, checked carefully, and found that no one lived in the village for a long time, then climbed up a few more mountains, and walked for almost a day before he came to a Before entering the village, he found some cooking smoke in the village, and he concluded that there must be people in this village.

Before entering the village, he asked Ah'Ban to wait for him outside the village, and he entered the village alone, but he had just entered the village, before he had time to look around, suddenly a group of people rushed out from the corners of each house.Without exception, the group of people were thin women with their heads wrapped in cloth scarves. The women held sticks, hoes and other things in their hands. When they saw him, they rushed over angrily and surrounded him to see his appearance clearly. Then, with doubts, he stopped.

There were about thirteen women in this group, and one of the older women was frowning at him and asked, "Who are you? Why are you here?"

Yuan Liuzhen couldn't say that she was from Xizhou, so she replied with a very kind smile: "I originally lived in Dongzhou City, and I came here after fleeing disaster."

"Escape?" The woman still looked at Yuan Liuzhen vigilantly. Because of Yuan Liuzhen's strong figure, they were all a little scared, so Yuan Liuzhen had no choice but to say: "Because of Zhan Luan, he has been hiding in a cave on the mountain. A few days ago, my brother went down the mountain to find salt, but it was too late. If I haven't returned, I will go down the mountain to look for it."

"Brother?" The woman was even more puzzled after hearing this.

"Yes, he is taller and thinner than me, and his hair is so long." Yuan Liuzhen stroked Tao Fu's hair, which almost reached his waist, and then said: "The eyes are very special, and they are easy to see. Remember, that man is my brother."

After hearing this, the woman asked, "How many days ago?"

Yuan Liuzhen replied, "About five days ago."

After hearing this, the woman asked, "Does your brother have other characteristics?"

Seeing the woman asking this question, Yuan Liuzhen heard that the woman might have seen Tao Fu, and immediately described Tao Fu's appearance in detail, the color of the robe he was wearing, the color of the bundle, and the headband that tied his hair. The woman was relieved after hearing this, and said to Yuan Liuzhen, "I should have met the brother you mentioned. Come with me."

After the woman finished speaking, she asked other people who were holding sticks, hoes and other tools to go back, and she also put down the sticks in her hand and asked Yuan Liuzhen to follow her to the yard.

Yuan Liuzhen nodded, and when he followed the woman to the women's yard, he looked around vigilantly, and found that in these yards, apart from women and brothers, there were only old people and children. There were no young and middle-aged men, and the gates were closed tightly. Thin and not very energetic.
