I am old in the Han Dynasty

Seeing this, the thief was immediately elated, "Nothing to say? Give it back to me!"

"I didn't expect you to dare to say that." Xie Lang laughed.

The thief laughed contemptuously, "Why don't I dare to say what's mine?"

"It's not silver, what do you want?" Xie Lang asked again.

The thief blurted out, "Could it be gold?"

The young man standing behind Xie Lang laughed out loud.

A trace of panic flashed across the thief's face. Seeing that Xie Lang was wearing a coarse sackcloth with patches all over it, he became confident again, "Do you think I look like a man with gold?"

"You don't look like me, I do." There were more and more people around, worried that some thief's companion would hurt Xiao Qi, Xie Lang stopped talking nonsense to him, opened the purse, put his hand inside, and grabbed the bottom of the purse with the other hand Picking up the purse, Xie Lang suddenly had two extra pieces of gold in his hand.

The thief's face changed drastically, and he tried to squeeze through the crowd and ran away.

Xie Lang snorted, turned around and pushed the cart away.

The man who wanted to remind Xie Lang that there were thieves subconsciously followed him: "Aren't you chasing after?"

"No time." Xie Lang said as he walked, "Send him to the Yamen, and he will only be locked up for a few days. He is so bold, and he dares to bite back, so there must be something to rely on. If I catch one of him, I'm worried that ten will come out to deal with it." I."

The man's eyes flashed brightly, "Isn't the little brother from the city? Dare I ask the little brother's name and where is his family?"

Xie Lang stopped and turned to him. Seeing the curiosity in the man's eyes, he said with a smile, "I'm just a farmer."

"I can see it." The man smiled, "I think the little brother is very knowledgeable, and I want to make friends with the little brother."

Xie Lang smiled slightly.

The man was surprised that something was going on.

Xie Lang said: "I'm really sorry, I don't dare to climb high." After speaking, he left.

The man was stunned, there was no sign of Xie Lang when he came back to his senses, he quickly asked his followers, "Where did that little brother go just now?"

"Turning west. Chase?"

The man raised his leg and wanted to chase him. He stepped forward and stopped suddenly, "I always feel that I will meet him again."

"how do I say this?"

The man subconsciously glanced west, "He and his child have rosy complexions, and they think they are living a good life. They have two pieces of gold on their bodies, but they are wearing rough linen clothes full of patches. It must be intentional." Well, definitely not the idle generation."

"He said he was a farmer."

The man smiled, "It's impossible to be an ordinary farmer."

"Third Master, is that person a bad guy?" Xiao Qi asked curiously.

Xie Lang shook his head, "No. You don't know me, and you remind me that there are thieves, so your heart is not bad."

"Why didn't you tell him that you are the third master?" the child asked.

Xie Lang said with a smile: "The clothes are bright, and he dares to laugh at the thief when he bites us back, he should be a nobleman. We ordinary people can't afford to provoke such a person."

Not to mention not having a decent home, not even an iron pot for cooking, Xie Lang has no time to play with your young master.Besides, that guy followed him, and when he was going to exchange broken silver for iron later, he couldn't explain where the silver came from.

Even if gold is exchanged for iron, at most one piece can be used, and the other piece has to be put in the purse.At that time, he couldn't explain why he had three yuan in his purse.Unless you keep holding it by hand.But holding two pieces of silver is not easy to push the cart.

And only Xiao Qi is easy to fool, the silver is taken out of the copper money bag.

"Why can't you afford it?" Xiao Qi was very surprised.

Xie Lang: "If you make me angry, I'll spank your ass. If you make him angry, he will take away our land and house. It's the same if I make him angry."

The child understood, "We don't treat him well."

"I know." Xie Lang asked someone to ask, and when he found a blacksmith, he threw his purse into the bag of copper coins.Take another piece of silver from it, exchange it for two bags of good iron, and push the cart to buy cloth.

Xie Lang saw that there were food and entertainment for sale, so he wanted to buy some for Xiao Qi.Stop and think about everything in Jiangshan map.He can make things for Xiao Qi, so he said, "Xiao Qi, shall we go home?"

"Buy it?"

Xie Lang nodded, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw something in the shop on the right, and stopped quickly, "It's still close. Wait for me here." He picked up the copper coins and went into the shop.

After a while, when Xie Lang came back, there was a small millstone with a diameter of two feet and a mouth on the cart.

Seeing that the cart was full, the child couldn't help saying, "Master, I'm coming down."

"Sit down, I can move."

A small millstone, two sacks of iron, two clay pots for cooking and washing vegetables, two pieces of cloth and a bag of salt.It looks like a lot, but it's not too heavy for Xie Lang.

The road is flat and there is no big uphill, and it takes only two hours for Xie Lang to go to the silkworm rearing by stopping for a while to eat the rice that has already cooled down.

The road from Chidao to the village was not easy to walk, so Xie Lang asked Xiao Qi to come down.

The child didn't make a fuss and had to help Xie Lang push the cart.Although he was a little bit older and had no strength, Xie Lang was also happy to see the child so sensible.

When Xie Lang saw half a bag of iron at the door, he guessed it was from Xie Chun'e's husband.And Xie Lang asked Xie Guang next door, and it was indeed he who sent it.

He waited at the door for quite a while, but he didn't go back until Xie Lang.If Xie Lang came back early, he would still be able to meet him.

Xie Lang threw the iron into the yard, pulled the cart in and didn't clean it up, steamed a few sweet potatoes while cooking the whitebait for the little milk tiger. Go back to bed.

This sleep until dark.

Xie Lang got up to wash up, went to the south to bring back the cattle, fed the cattle, lit a fire in the courtyard, and then unloaded the cart.

The iron was placed in the utility room adjacent to the kitchen, and Xie Lang released about two bags of iron from the map of Jiangshan, then closed the door and built two simple stoves in the yard.

Xiao Qi walked over with the little milk tiger in his arms, "Third Master, what are you doing with this?"

"Cook soup for our house builders." Xie Lang said, "Little Milk Tiger is hungry again?"

Xiao Qi nodded, "Yes."

"I'll make it for it later." Xie Lang covered the simple stove, put the salt on the stove in the kitchen, put the small millstone on the stone table in the yard, and put the cloth in the main room, and gave it to the little one. The milk tiger cooks and eats.

"Are you hungry? Xiaoqi."

Xiao Qi shook her head, not hungry.However, seeing the little milk tiger's whole face buried in the bowl and slamming its mouth, the child couldn't help swallowing, and looked at Xie Lang pitifully, "Third Master..."

"Hungry?" Xie Lang asked with a smile.

Xiaoqi nodded hurriedly, very hungry and wanted to eat.

Xie Lang turned back to the kitchen, conjured up two sweet potatoes and threw them beside the charcoal fire, "You can eat them later."

Wash the clay pots and pots with hot spring water and put them in the kitchen, add some wheat straw with wheat ears to the oxstone trough, and then go to wash clothes.

After everything was packed, Xie Lang could smell the aroma of roasted sweet potatoes.

Xiao Qi was full, and Xie Lang was too sleepy to keep his eyes open.After washing the child's face and rinsing his mouth indiscriminately, the father and son went back to sleep.

The next day, Xie Lang woke up and it was already daylight.Considering that the person who built the house for his family came today, Xie Lang did not dare to make rice and sweet potatoes, but just boiled some chestnut rice porridge and steamed two bowls of eggs.And the meal of the little milk tiger is naturally whitebait.

When the two of them were full, Xie Jianye came over.

"Uncle leads the cow?" Xie Lang asked.

Xie Jianye nodded, "I'll send the cattle to the field, and I'll help you build a house." Looking around, "The person Chun'e found for you hasn't come yet?"

"It's seven miles away from us, not so fast." Xie Lang said, "Is Auntie at home? Let her watch Xiaoqi for me, I'll go up the mountain."

"I'll help you watch, Uncle Saburo."

Xie Lang heard the voice, turned his head to look outside, "Xie Guang?"

"It's me." Xie Guang ran in with a smile on his face, "My family's wheat planting is all right now. I'll lead Xiaoqi, you and my dad can go up the mountain and cut trees together."

Xie Lang: "Your father?" After saying that, Xie Guang's father came in with an ax on his shoulder and a bow and arrow.

"I'm not going to cut down trees." Then I told them what I said to Xie Chun'e the day before yesterday, "I'll cut down trees in the afternoon."

Xie Jianye couldn't help but said, "How can you make rakes for her when you dig bamboo shoots to make soup?"

"With you." Xie Lang said, "I came back from the mountain and the two of us will do it. When Chun'e's rake is brought back, there will definitely be many people looking for me to do it. I can't do it alone, so our two families will do it together. If you learn from me now, it will save me from teaching you later."

Xie Jianye heard yesterday that Xie Lang made the plow and he made the rake. He also heard that the wasteland plow would give him five acres, so he thought his nephew was joking.

Hearing what Xie Lang said now, Xie Jianye really didn't know what to say.

"You child." Xie Jianye sighed, "Wait for me, I will go up the mountain with you. You chop trees, and I will dig bamboo shoots for you."

Xie Lang smiled and said: "Then thank you uncle. Xie Guang, if people come, please let them wait for me for a while." Then he told Xiao Qi to be obedient at home.

The child was very worried about Xie Lang, but seeing that Xie Jianye and Xie Guang's father were with him, he didn't bother to go, "I'll take care of the house, Third Master."

"So good." Xie Lang held an ax, waited for Xie Jianye to come over at the intersection, and went up the mountain with Xie Guang's father.

Half an hour later, Xie Lang and Xie Guang's fathers carried a tree each, and Xie Jianye returned with a bag of bamboo shoots.Throwing the tree at the door, Xie Lang thanked Xie Guang's father, took Xie Jianye's bamboo shoots and went into the house.

At the door, Xie Lang stopped suddenly.

Seeing this, Xie Guang's father, who was planning to go back to the next door for a rest, and Xie Jianye, who followed Xie Lang into the house, asked at the same time, "What's wrong?" Looking into the yard following Xie Lang's line of sight.

The courtyard is full of people, old and young, in their prime of life, there are thirty or forty people.

Xie Jianye couldn't help asking: "Why are there so many people?"

Xie Lang wanted to know more than he did, he just asked Xie Chun'e to find him ten masons, not twenty or thirty.

"You are this?"

"San Lang is back?"

Xie Lang followed the sound and looked: "Li Zheng?"

"It's me. I'm worried that you don't know how to build a house, so I came here to help you look over it." Li Zheng said, "I heard from my uncle that you wanted straw mats, and I brought you all of them. Is twenty enough? If not, I'll make it up for you." .”

Xie Lang seemed to understand, but didn't understand, "They are all from our village? Why have I never seen some of them before?"

"The ten of us are from Chun'e's husband's house." A tall man came out from behind the crowd, pointed at the few people who were squeezed into the corner, "They are with me. These are people from your village .

"Little brother, you are very popular. People in your village heard that you built a house, and they all came to ask us how to build it. I heard this kid say that you want to build two houses on the east side." Pointing to Xie Guang, "Look, The foundation has been dug for you." Then he pointed to the east.

Xie Lang turned to the east in a daze, and saw that the east wall of his house had been completely demolished, and there were two connected "kou" characters on the ground. Suddenly angry, "Who told you to dig it?!"
