I am old in the Han Dynasty

Chapter 67 Liu Che enters the village

Wei Qing thought about it carefully, "San Lang came over on the day of the Moon Worship Festival. I asked him, and he said it would take a month. Probably not yet."

"One month? There are only three days left to one month. It's almost there." Liu Che calculated, and immediately said, "Change into clothes and go with me."

Wei Qing: "Go straight to the silkworm farm?"

Liu Che heard from Wei Qing that Xie Lang's house was in the westernmost part of the silkworm farm, that is, he could be seen from the silkworm farm.Similarly, Xie Lang would spot them as soon as they approached the silkworm farm.

Liu Che pondered for a moment, and decided to enter from the side of the mountain, "Didn't he say that there is cotton on the mountain? First go up the mountain and have a look."

"There is a trap set by Saburo on the mountain." Wei Qing reminded him.

Liu Che: "Bring two more people."

Wei Qing originally thought he would bring a dozen people with him.Unexpectedly, including him and Liu Che himself, there would be only ten people.

Fortunately, the other eight people were highly skilled in martial arts, and they all carried bows and arrows, so Wei Qing didn't persuade him to bring a few more people.

With all his bow, arrow and dagger on, Wei Qing led his horse and followed him straight to the mountain in the southeast of Sericulture.However, Liu Che couldn't help frowning when he reached the foot of the mountain, "When will there be another row of bamboo here?"

"Weichen went over to have a look?" Wei Qing said.

Liu Che thought for a while, then threw the reins to the person behind him, "I'll go with you."

Pushing aside the bamboo, Liu Che staggered forward.

Wei Qing's face suddenly turned pale, "Be careful!"

With a swipe, the other eight drew out their swords at the same time.

Liu Che raised his hand, "It's okay. There is a ditch ahead, I didn't notice it just now." Looking around, "It seems that we can only enter the village by the main road."

"In the past?" Wei Qing asked.

Liu Che looked up at the high mountains that were close at hand, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "No! I want to see how much Xie Sanlang, who is indifferent to fame and wealth and has his heart in the fields, has kept from me."

"Uncle Sanlang, do you regret that you didn't grow cotton when you saw we harvested so much cotton?"

Xie Lang turned to look at the speaker, and snorted, "Qian Xiaohua, what did you say when you planted cotton at the end of June?"

"What do you say?"

Carrying the cotton she had just picked, Qin Hong, who was about to go home, stopped suddenly, "Did you forget?"

"What did I say?" Qian Xiaohua recalled subconsciously, it was nothing.

Qin Hong was speechless, "Sanlang gave us cottonseed, and each of us gave him a catty of peeled cotton." As she spoke, her heart suddenly moved, and she looked directly at Qian Xiaohua, "You woman want to play tricks again?"

"Definitely." Feng Ying's family didn't bloom much cotton, and it was over after sweeping the field.At this time, I was squatting on the side of the road pulling weeds, and I was going to take them back to feed the donkey.Hearing Qin Hong's words, he snorted coldly, "Everyone in the village remembers, but she doesn't remember, how is it possible."

Qian Xiaohua opened her mouth, "I really don't remember. When did you say that?"

"When Saburo taught us how to grow cotton, Qianli was saying that the cotton would be planted in the future, and the family would give Saburo a catty. You all said that it should be done. Do you remember now?" Feng Ying asked.

Qian Xiaohua didn't remember her anymore. Seeing her aggressive look, she said cheerfully, "I remembered."

"Won't you forget it again when you get home?" Feng Ying stared at her and asked.

Xie Zhongwu's wife and Yao Guizhi came over immediately.

Qian Xiaohua quickly said, "No, no."

Even she can't recognize it.Otherwise these women could tear her apart.

"Then you give the cotton to Saburo." Feng Ying was extremely worried about her, "Put it in this basket." As he spoke, he lifted her pannier to Qian Xiaohua, "Pour it in, and give it to Saburo along with mine."

"I haven't peeled it off yet." Qian Xiaohua said.

Feng Ying: "I'll peel it for you." Then he turned to Xie Lang, "This is what I gave you."

Xie Lang folded his arms around his chest, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and nodded slightly.Seeing that Qian Xiaohua wanted to leave, "Stop."

Qian Xiaohua froze, turned to Xie Lang slowly, and asked eagerly, "Uncle Sanlang, is there anything else?"

"Tell your sister-in-law to send her share as well. Remember, I don't want cotton leaves." Xie Lang said.

Qian Xiaohua breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that she didn't ask her to add more, "I'll go find her right away." Xie Lang was not allowed to speak, and ran away with the basket in hand.

"This woman." Qin Hong shook her head and sighed, "Except for you, our village is not as rich as the two of them. This time, the cotton production is not as much as her family's. Why are people still as virtuous as before?"

"Bricks out of the kiln, that's it." Xie Lang put down his hands and said.

Qin Hong didn't understand, "What do you mean?"

"It's finalized." Yao Guizhi smiled, "Sanlang, do you want me to peel it for you?"

Xie Lang shook his head, "No need. I'll peel it off after I get back. By the way, where is Xiao Qi?"

"Going to herd the sheep." Sun Fang said.

Xie Lang didn't hear clearly, "Put what?"

"Your family's four sheep." Sun Fang said, "He saw Xiao Niu and Xiao Zhuang leading the sheep to herd the sheep by the river in the north. He led your sheep and followed them."

Xie Lang opened his mouth and said angrily, "He's not as tall as a sheep. Fuck a sheep!" He handed the basket to Sun Fang, "I'll go find him."

"You didn't come to find him. When the calf went, I took a look. There were more than a dozen children. They said they were herding sheep, but they just wanted to play in another place." Yao Guizhi persuaded, "When he is hungry, you don't call him. He came back by himself."

Xie Lang kept on stepping, "Then I have to find him even more. A group of children madly falling into the river is more troublesome than him letting go of the sheep."

"No. They know that there are bamboo arrows under the water." Yao Guizhi said.

When Xie Lang was a child, he was so skinny that he didn't hit Fang Jiewa for three days.He didn't become honest until he was in junior high school.It is clear how noisy children of seven, eight, and teens can be.Cats hate dogs.

"You don't know." Xie Lang didn't want to explain anymore.Shouting while walking north, "Xie Xiaoqi, come back to me!"

Liu Che stopped and looked northwest, "Is this Xie Sanlang's voice?"

"It's him. Saburo said when he was joking that there is only one Xie Sanlang and one Xie Xiaoqi in the silkworm farm." Wei Qing looked at Liu Che, "Should I call Sanlang over, or should Your Majesty go?"

Liu Che had just walked a few steps up the mountain when he saw a bunch of white things.Pulling it out, it was the cotton that Xie Lang gave Wei Qing.Near the cotton trees, Liu Che also saw many withered cotton trees.

Watch its withering degree for at least a year.

Xie Lang, who was full of heart and soul, didn't lie to him, so Liu Che planned to go down the mountain.But he found a few ropes not far away, and became interested.

Touching the rope with the sword in his hand, the rope swished up, Liu Che was startled, and at the same time guessed that there was a trap set by Xie Lang ahead.Thinking of Xie Lang giving Wei Qing prey from time to time, Liu Che led people to sweep the surrounding traps and picked up a pheasant and a rabbit.

Then Liu Che led people down the mountain, and found a bamboo forest and a mulberry forest in the southeast.Curious, Liu Che led someone there, and caught another silly roe deer in the trap.

Liu Che didn't answer but instead asked, "Zhongqing, if we go straight away and drive Xie Sanlang up the mountain tomorrow and find that all the traps he set up have been destroyed, will we fight with the villagers?"

"No." Wei Qing affirmed.

Liu Che turned to face him, "Why?"

"The men in the silkworm farm are busy making paper. The women," Wei Qing pointed at the mountain, "the cotton on the top is blooming, and the ones on the bottom must be blooming as well. They are busy picking cotton and making tofu. I'm afraid I can't wait for one person to be two people." No, it’s impossible to come up the mountain in time.”

Liu Che thought about it, "You are right. You will definitely think that something on the mountain destroyed it, and then yell at you."

Wei Qing nodded, "Very likely."

"It seems that in order not to be scolded, I have to go see him." Liu Che said.

"Your Majesty doesn't want to go there, so I tied him here."

Liu Che turned his head to look at the person who spoke, "You?" He chuckled, "It's almost as if he tied you up and sent you to Tingwei."

"His Majesty--"

"I lost to Saburo once." Wei Qing said this.The other eight looked at him at the same time.

Liu Che nodded, "Don't doubt it. I saw it with my own eyes."

"Yes. His Majesty was there that day. If Sanlang is just a farmer who is good at farming, he is not qualified to let His Majesty come here in person." Wei Qing said, "I said I called Sanlang over just now because I was worried that people in the village would ask Sanlang who we are. Who, Saburo can't explain."

Liu Che: "Xie Sanlang has more thoughts than you, he will find a solution. Don't worry about him." Then he walked west and stopped suddenly.

"What's the matter? Your Majesty." Wei Qing asked quickly.

Liu Che pointed to the northwest direction.

Wei Qing looked over: "Wooden bridge?" He ran over and took a look, "It's really a wooden bridge, and it's a wooden bridge leading to the east of Sericulture Village. Your Majesty, pass here?"

Liu Che nodded, "Just ask the villagers if Xie Sanlang is the head of the village." However, when Liu Che and his party really came to the village, they were greeted with shovels, hoes, brooms and other things.

Wei Qing, who has been by Liu Che's side for many years and is used to seeing all kinds of big scenes, was stunned.After reacting, he quickly drew out his sword and blocked Liu Che, "We have no malicious intentions." He swallowed, "We are San Lang's friends."

"Are you Saburo's friend?"

Wei Qing nodded, "Yes! Saburo sent me two bundles of paper and two quilts a few days ago. By the way, there is also a cotton coat. Saburo said he sewed it himself?"

"Are you really Saburo's friend? You, you are the prince, right?"

Wei Qing frowned slightly, "Prince Wang?"

"Yes. You are not Wang Zhongqing?"

"puff!"

Liu Che burst out laughing.

"no?"

Liu Che nodded, "Yes, his name is Wang Zhongqing." He raised his hand and patted Wei Qing's shoulder, "Zhongqing, it's fine. They must be afraid that bad people have entered the village, so they are so nervous."

"That's right. Ever since we made paper in the silkworm farm, there are strangers wandering around the village every day. I'm really sorry, Prince, I should have thought of it earlier. If you are like them, you can't ride a horse and carry a sword." Go straight into the village. We must come back in the middle of the night when we are all asleep."

Wei Qing put away his sword, "So you trust me?"

"Of course. You don't know, Mr. Wang, I watched Saburo sew that padded coat of yours."

Wei Qing couldn't help looking at the old man in front of him, "Are you San Lang's uncle?" He didn't look alike at all.

"No. I'm Xie Jiankang, Qianlizheng from Silkworm Farming. Now Li is Sanlang. Did Sanlang tell you?"

Wei Qing nodded, looking at Liu Che, it turned out to be true.

"This is?" Qianli followed his gaze, "Your friend?"

Liu Che said first, "His brother."

"Ah? You are Wang Mengda?"

"Wang Mengda?!"

Liu Che and his party shouted in unison, including Wei Qing.However, Liu Che was the first to react, "That boy Sanlang told you about me?"

"He said that Zhongqing's elder brother is very powerful, and I thought he was talking nonsense." Xie Jiankang looked at Liu Che's whole body, "It never occurred to me that what that nonsense kid said was true."

Liu Che became interested, "Is he talking nonsense with you too?"

"Same with you?" Xie Jiankang asked in surprise.

Liu Che: "Occasionally. When I ask him questions, he doesn't want to answer, so he just talks nonsense with me. But most of the time, he's honest."

"Then what he's talking nonsense with you is nothing important, right?" Xie Jiankang asked cautiously.

Liu Chexin said that it was all important matters.And one thing is more important than the other.

"No." Seeing more and more people around, Liu Che coughed lightly, "Shall we talk while walking?"

Xie Jiankang nodded again and again, "Okay. Go this way." Pointing to the tallest house in the distance, "That's Sanlang's house. It's all built with blue bricks, and it looks impressive. However, if Sanlang can build that yard, Thanks also to your brother Zhongqing."

Wei Qing continued, "The five strings I gave him?"

If Xie Jiankang had no doubts just now, when he heard Wei Qing's words, he was immediately sure that he was Wang Zhongqing.

"Yes. The money you gave him was just in time."

Wei Qing said in his heart that it was the timely rain that he used his own money openly and aboveboard.

"It's not from me. His deer can sell a lot—"

Hey!

"Tiger howling?" Wei Qing drew out his sword with a swipe.

Xie Jiankang was taken aback, and quickly said, "Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, it's a tiger raised by San Lang's family."

"Who?" Wei Qing hurriedly asked.

Xie Jiankang: "Sanlang. In addition to the white tiger, there is also a golden monkey and a black wolf." When he saw the faces of several people were not right, he realized later, "Didn't Sanlang say that?"
