Infrastructure masters in the red building

Second Victory Village.

"It's time to turn off the lights! Copper ring three six, go back to your dormitory." An officer and soldier stood at the door of the study room and greeted.

Tonghuan Sanliu looked at the book in his hand, rubbed the pages, feeling a little bit reluctant.But the officer and soldier standing at the door of the study room yawned a lot. Tonghuan felt that he had to sympathize with the other party, got up quickly, put the book back on the shelf of the study room, turned around and bowed to the officer and soldier, and then Blowing out the lights, trotting all the way, ran back to the dormitory.

The weather is getting warmer, and the south seems to have not really cooled down, but it suddenly starts to warm up again.Before the lights out, everyone wandered outside the dormitories.

Tonghuan Sanliu heard an officer and a soldier talking softly with a companion not far away, and the two laughed as they talked.Tonghuan Sanliu heard one of them giggling and saying: "Listen to what you said... When I have a vacation tomorrow, I will go to find that little Fengzhen."

Tonghuan Sanliu: ...boring!

Ever since "A Tale of Joy" was staged in and out of Wuyuan County, his copper ring was out of popularity, but the name Feng Zhen became popular first.I heard that there are many wandering warblers outside the city of Wuyuan County, regardless of 21. They are too shy to call themselves Fengzhen, and they either have a surname or add a "small" in front of the name.

The "Little Fengzhen" that the officers and soldiers said was actually Liuying.If the officers and soldiers are free, they can regularly go outside the city to find Liuying to have fun, but there is absolutely no chance for a "reform target" like Tonghuan Sanliu.Apart from working every day, they cannot leave the camp without permission.

After Tonghuan Sanliu finished washing under the tap, he returned to his dormitory, with his clothes down, staring at the ceiling made of bamboo in the dormitory—a little unable to sleep.

So did the companion who slept with him on the Chase bunk.A 16-year-old young man next to Tonghuan Sanliu tossed and turned for a while, and suddenly cursed: "Damn, I heard all the dirty jokes from those officers and soldiers today, and the more I said it, the more angry I was, what a sleeper!" !"

All the people who come and go in this camp are men, [-]% bachelor.Tonghuan Sanliu and the others do a lot of heavy physical labor every day, and their normal physiological needs are not met, and they all feel angry.

In addition, there are more and more stray warblers in and out of Wuyuan County recently, and the officers and soldiers with free bodies can go out from time to time to vent their anger. Feel even more unfair.

"When I grow up and earn enough points to go out, I must set up a table, and the whole table will be filled with Fengzhen..." The young man imagined his appearance in front of people in the future out of thin air .

The people around laughed and said, "Do you think the sisters are all sitting on the table to watch?"

"Let's talk about it when your hair grows all over!"

"Hmph! Don't think I don't understand, I just don't have the same knowledge as you!" The young man snorted, turned around and turned to the direction of Tonghuan Sanliu, and said, "Brother Sanliu, brother Sanliu... Tell us two questions!"

Tonghuan Sanliu said "Well", and the young man said happily: "As long as you talk about the topic, I will definitely fall asleep."

Brass ring three six: ...

But in the past few days, Tonghuan Sanliu and their dormitory have formed this tradition: listening to questions and purging fire.

No matter how hot and unbearable a guy can't sleep, he will gradually fall asleep after listening to the three or six lectures of Tonghuan.

"There are no new questions today!" Tonghuan Sanliu sighed, "I don't know if you can sleep or not if you just read the old questions."

The little guy quickly said: "The old questions are also good. Listen to it twice more, remember it better, and answer it in the next exam."

Tonghuan Sanliu was silent for a moment: "That's good..."

"Today I hope to be on the Songsheng Mountain. I don't know how high it is. I set up two watches. They are three feet high, and the front and back are fifty steps apart..."

His voice seemed to be magical, and it didn't take long for him to speak when there was a snoring sound in the dormitory.

"Tonghuan Sanliu, what are you still muttering if you don't sleep so late?" A patrolling officer and soldier passed by the door of their dormitory, and when he heard the voice, he poked his head in.

Tonghuan Sanliu felt agitated, and read the question louder and louder: "Looking at the end of the pine in the thin land, it also joins with the end of the surface. Ask the height of the pine and the geometry of the surface of the mountain?"

The officers and soldiers of the night watch "cut", but they thought it was not a forbidden speech, so they ignored it immediately, leaving three or six people in the copper ring to give lectures to his companions who had been "hypnotized" by the arithmetic test questions in the dormitory, Go on until everyone is asleep, snoring evenly.

Tonghuan Sanliu was still lying on the spot, looking at the ceiling in the dark, thinking: when he was a bandit, he often "had a mountain on his head, and a tree on the mountain", but why did he never I never thought about calculating how high the mountain is and how tall the tree is?

These commonplace things, if you think about it from another angle, this world, this universe, seems to be different...

When he came back the next day, the officer and soldier on night patrol heard Tonghuan Sanliu leading a group of companions reciting the cycle of chemical elements: "Helium, Lithium, Beryllium, Hydrogen, Carbon, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Fluorine, Neon..." Everyone didn't understand what it meant, so they just Jingle rhetoric.

"Recite it, memorize it!" The officers and soldiers couldn't help being a little jealous of the enthusiasm for learning of these "reformed subjects", "I will really convince you if I really let you pass the exam next time!"

You must know that study and examination are not limited to these "reform objects".The officers and soldiers of their Pingnan camp also had to take the exam. It is said that in peacetime, if you want to be promoted, the exam results are very important.

A few days later, the two villages of Shengli held a preliminary examination, and Tonghuan Sanliu and several companions in his dormitory were among the best, surpassing many officers and soldiers of the Pingnan Camp.

Master Jiang, the head of the Xiaoxiang Academy, came to Shengli Second Village to commend Tonghuan Sanliu, and added 20 transformation points to him. As long as he accumulated [-] transformation points, he could reduce his lifelong hard labor to [-] years of hard labor. And so on.

As Master Jiang was talking, most of the bandits below held their breath, wondering if they would be able to regain their freedom soon if they worked as hard as Tonghuan Sanliu.

The officers and soldiers of the Pingnan Camp were somewhat upset, and someone called Tonghuan to stand up and answer the question: "How did you learn it? Did you see the exam questions in advance?"

Tonghuan Sanliu couldn't bear it, jumped up and said loudly: "When you are talking about women, we are learning!"

"Exactly!" They all jumped up in the dormitory.

The officer and soldier who asked the question blushed immediately—he had indeed been out of the village more frequently recently, probably to find those "Fengzhen" whose surnames he didn't know.

Mrs. Jiang, a bearded old man, looked awkwardly, looked here and there, and finally came out to talk to each other: "Don't judge a hero by the success or failure of an exam. You military masters, it's okay if you don't pass the exam this time." Work harder next time...Brother Tonghuan, you guys are very good, keep going!"

No matter how jealous the officers and soldiers are, the results obtained by the Tonghuan Sanliu are real.And together with other qualified officers and soldiers, they received a "basic cultural knowledge diploma" in the "Wuyuan-Taoyuan" area.With this diploma in hand, even if Tonghuan Sanliu wants to go to the office to eat Gongmen in Taoyuanzhai or Wuyuan County, he can do it.Of course, the premise is that he has to end the hard labor and regain his freedom.

In short, Tonghuan Sanliu set an example for his partners, and also brought pressure to the officers and soldiers.For a while, the business of wandering warblers in Wuyuan County has been slowed down a lot.And everyone in Shengli New Village followed suit. Before going to bed at night, or recite a piece of learning content, no matter how impatient, recite the learning content once to ensure that sleepiness strikes, allowing them to fall asleep quickly and have a good night's sleep.

Tonghuan Sanliu and his roommates didn't know much about these changes.They are now facing a new learning task - after using commonly used characters proficiently, borrow reference books such as "Shuowen" to learn more classics.

The first self-study book that Tonghuan Sanliu got was "Reader for Ideological and Moral Education" on the cover, which contained many principles of life.

Tonghuan Sanliu rubbed the book for a moment, thinking: If only the children of landlords and squires could read such a good book in the past, right?Now, he is a former bandit, active convict, and reformed... unexpectedly, he also has the opportunity to read it.

Thinking of this, Tonghuan Sanliu couldn't help feeling a little complacent.

So he opened the "Reader", and saw a line of writing on the title page: "The reason why human beings are different from beasts is that they are benevolent and caring."

After a period of sudden study, Tonghuan Sanliu knew every word, but he stared blankly at this sentence for a long time.

There is not much difference between humans and beasts, only benevolence is unique to humans.

He didn't know that this sentence was originally pronounced as "the reason why people are different from beasts is that the common people go away and the gentlemen keep it." ② In one sentence, "common people" like him and those who hold the right to speak in the court "Gentlemen" are distinguished.

But here, in this pamphlet that can be read by every ordinary person who has received basic education, it tells Tonghuan Sanliu that those days of muddling before were nothing but walking dead—he understands from now on After reading this sentence, I felt that I was no longer a beast, but a real person.

After Jia Fang heard the story of the villagers in Shengli New Village "learning abstinence", he really couldn't hold it back. After laughing for a long time, he finally said: "Do they need more test questions? I can send some more to you." .”

When I was young, I studied and studied the questions, and the law that I fell asleep after reading and writing, is also applicable in this time and space.

It's just that Shengli New Village is not the most difficult problem in his hands now - the trouble is actually the rising custom industry in Wuyuan County.

Before that, Wuyuan County and Taoyuan Village had no flesh and blood business at all.The first time Jia Fang asked Yuan Hua about this matter, Master Yuan quickly waved his hand and denied San Lian: "There is no brothel, no brothel, no brothel!"

This is related to the fact that Wuyuan County has a small population and is not very rich.Most families in Wuyuan County are monogamous, and very few families can take concubines.There are no brothels, and there are few secret doors for raising private prostitutes.

The situation in Taoyuan Village is not the same. In the early generations of Taoyuan Village, women were respected, most of the family's financial power was held in the hands of women, and the inheritance was inherited by daughters.Even though times changed and this custom gradually disappeared, women's status and financial power were still stronger than Wu Yuan's.

Therefore, Taoyuan Village is also a place where monogamy is absolutely practiced. If a man dares to take a concubine, he will be beaten;

But the problem now is that between Wuyuan and Taoyuan, there are two more veritable "bachelor villages". Three thousand convicts and two thousand officers and soldiers from the Pingnan Camp gathered here to farm, and suddenly a large number of convective warblers were airborne. "needs".

The reformed subjects are fine, they have no freedom and cannot leave Shengli New Village, but the officers and soldiers are free, and they still have some money on hand.This has caused the wandering warblers in surrounding counties to move closer to Shengli New Village.

They would never dare to enter Shengli New Village. After all, there are more wolves and less meat, and they are afraid of being swallowed by others.I also dare not enter Wuyuan County, where renting a house is very expensive, and the reputation in the market is not good--every night to change the bridegroom, the neighbors don't talk about it on the surface, but they will spit in private and call it "goblin ".

So the wandering warblers chose a few small villages outside the city of Wuyuan County, where they rented yards, where a few women lived with their mothers, and started the business of welcoming and sending them off.At the beginning, some people in the village said that they didn't talk about it when they saw that the women were willing to pay for renting houses. Instead, they took the opportunity of rebuilding to repair more houses and welcome wandering warblers from other places to live there.

Jia Fang knows that this kind of thing cannot be completely banned. The skin and meat industry is an extremely old business, and it can always exist because of the ever-existing demand.

But he must not stand idly by, because judging from the current situation, the news should have already spread.There are more and more wandering warblers near Wu Yuan.If things go on like this without stopping, Jia Fang is worried that crimes like human abduction will happen.

In addition, the natural needs of the two thousand soldiers could not be completely ignored. Without the wandering warbler, perhaps there would be many vicious criminal cases in Taoyuan Village and Wuyuan County.Although he can punish the perpetrators severely after the event, it is also an after-the-fact disposal, which is not as good as the pre-prevention effect.

Jia Fang was quite worried about this matter—since the Yihong Courtyard was built over the Grand View Garden, he was extremely worried that he would build a "Yihong Courtyard" here in Wuyuan County one day.

But his problem now is that before he can do anything, it seems that someone here has spontaneously built "Yihong Courtyard", and there are more than one of them.

This is a worry for Jia Fang.While he was worrying, he suddenly heard a bell ringing in the direction of Xianliang Temple in Taoyuan Village, one long, one short, one long, someone was looking for him outside.

Jia Fang hurriedly put down what he was doing, rushed back to the Xianliang Temple by himself, and rushed back to the Grand View Garden with the ground whip.He opened the door, and an all-too-familiar face appeared in front of him.

"Ziheng?" Jia Fang was both surprised and delighted.

The weather in early spring in Beijing was still quite cold, so when Jia Fang went out, he was extra careful and put on an extra coat.

Standing at the gate of Daoxiang Village, Shuixian caught a glimpse of the robe Jia Fang was wearing, nodded, and was very satisfied with Jia Fang.

"Why are you here?" Jia Fang clearly remembered that the letter he wrote to invite was not handed out? !

"Your Excellency is calling, I dare not not come." Shui Xian saluted Jia Fang slowly. Jia Fang was embarrassed for a while, and quickly pulled him into the courtyard of Daoxiang Village, and then closed the courtyard door again.

Facing the person in front of him, he couldn't help but his heart pounding: Is it finally time?Is it time to show the man in front of him his most important "basic disk"?

Shui Xian glanced over, as if he understood Jia Fang's mood immediately, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and said: "Since you and I have agreed first, we will visit each other's territory one day. I want to see you today, I Here we come."

Jia Fang felt his face turn red with a "squeak", and the outer robe looked superfluous on him, and the temperature of his whole body was rising rapidly.

Shui Xian was so calm as if he hadn't said any nasty words, gently stretched out his right hand, and said, "I'm at your disposal."

Jia Fang stomped his feet, thinking: It is better to hit the sun than to choose the day, and the ugly daughter-in-law always wants to see her parents-in-law.What's the harm in taking Shui Xian to see today's Taoyuan Village?

So he mustered up his courage, stretched out his hand and pulled the sleeve of Shui Xian's right hand, and led them into the house of Daoxiang Village.

Shui Xian looked at Mi Fu's ink painting of misty rain in the main house of Daoxiang Village in surprise. When he saw the mist and rain flowing in the picture, Shui Xian was as dazed as Jia Fang when he first entered the main house.

But Jia Fang didn't forget to take off the outer robe that Shui Xian was wearing, and hang it on the rack in the corner of the room together with his own.

Then he stretched out his hand again and took the man's hand. This time it was not the sleeve, but the hands of the two were lightly held together.

Before entering the ground whip, Jia Fang looked back, and he clearly saw Shui Xian's eyes widen before passing through the mist and rain, and then closed tightly.At the same time, Shui Xian turned his right palm, and in turn held Jia Fang's palm tightly.The two clasped their hands tightly together.

Walking step by step in the ground whip, Shui Xian is completely like a lost child, without opening his eyes, letting Jia Fang lead him forward, it seems that he has completely handed over himself to Jia Fang.

Don't be afraid, I will take you to see my peach blossom garden - Jia said softly in his heart.

Soon, the two came out from the other end of the ground whip and walked into the bright southern sunshine.

"It's here!" Jia Fang turned around and looked at the man, for a moment he only cared about his reaction when he opened his eyes, but forgot that their hands were still intertwined.

As soon as Shui Xian opened his eyes, he looked at the two hands holding each other.

"Hey!" Jia Fang quickly withdrew his hand, pretending to be nonchalant, and opened the courtyard gate of Xianliang Temple.

Once the Xianliang Temple was opened, the greenery and vibrant scene of Taoyuan Village immediately came in, attracting Shuixian's attention.I saw him striding forward a few steps, just like when Jia Fang first came, standing on the high ground near the Xianliang Temple, overlooking the Taoyuan Village in front of him-now it may be more appropriate to call it Taoyuan City.

"I didn't expect, I didn't expect..."

Shui Xian muttered in his mouth.He turned his head to look at Jia Fang, the sun shining on his face, outlining a soft halo.

"Your and mine, what we have is totally different."

Jia Fang couldn't help resting his chin and began to daydream: What kind of place will Shui Xian own?

Shui Xian couldn't help having a headache, and shouted: "Hey, you are the master, should you concentrate on being a guide and accompany me on a tour?"
