Three thousand miles in exile

When the wild boar entered the village, it caused a sensation in Tiancang Village!

The fourth younger brother carried the wild boar to Liu's yard, and the whole village came to see the wild boar. The four of Cao Zhuang talked about the situation vividly, which aroused the amazement of the villagers.

And Liu Zhan was punished by Liu Xueyuan to kneel in the room.

Mrs. Zhao cried in fright at Liu Zhan's blood-stained appearance, and Liu Xueyuan's face turned ashen.

The whole family was silent, only Zhao's weeping.

Liu Xueyuan wanted to scold Liu Zhan, but he couldn't scold him when he thought of his son's busy work in the mountains and rivers these days just to find something to eat for the family.

I wanted to ask him if he was hurt, but seeing him not cherishing his life so much, I was so angry. Thinking of the glory and wealth of the Liu family half a year ago, Liu Xueyuan was left with a deep sense of powerlessness in the end.

"Uncle Liu, it's very cold today, the child is still injured so don't kneel down." At this time, Aunt Zhang came in to make peace.

"Aunt Liu, please take the child to change clothes and lie down. Is there hot water in the pot? I'll get some hot water for you, and wash the child's wound quickly. Let his father take my monkey child back, too." Hit it, how can this wild boar be provoked by them, I feel scared after thinking about it."

Zhao wiped away tears and helped Liu Zhan into the house.

At this moment, Liu Zhan was no longer pretentious. He took off his clothes and lay down on the kang, letting Mrs. Zhao scrub his body for him. He was really in pain, everywhere!

After disposing of the bear boy, the five families in the yard began to discuss how to deal with the wild boar.

Because the four teenagers insisted that Liu Zhan killed the wild boar, Cao Zhuang's father took the idea very straightforwardly, half of the pigs belonged to Liu's family, and the four of them divided the rest. As for the pigs, they would be boiled and killed. Five families eat pork dishes together.

The Zhang family's aunt enthusiastically provided condiments and vegetables, the other three families provided food, and the Liu family provided the venue.

So in the afternoon, the Liu Family Yard began sharpening their knives to kill wild boars. The master knife was Cao Zhuang's father. The crowd of onlookers never dispersed. The Liu Family Yard was really lively like never before.

During the period, even Chen Baihu came to see it. Of course, he just came to see a lively scene. With his family's conditions, he didn't care for some pork, but the villagers who watched were really hungry.

Those military households who plow the army’s fields are tenants at best, and they are military slaves at worst. Their life is much worse than that of farmers with private land, and their living conditions are much more difficult. Major life events such as weddings and funerals are not difficult. They must be able to afford to kill pigs. There are many people who can't eat a bite of meat all year round.

From time to time, villagers came to ask for pig slaughter in Liu's courtyard, and the Liu family didn't know how to refuse. Fortunately, Aunt Zhang, Aunt Cao, and Aunt Wen stood in the way, so no one could reach in.

This wild boar was hunted by their children, no matter how envious the villagers were, they had no reason to ask for it.

When the pigs were divided, the Cao family wanted to leave the pig heads to the Liu family, but Liu Xueyuan decided to share the pig heads with the four families.

Because Cao Zhuang's father was not a professional butcher, the distribution of the pigs was uneven, so Liu Xueyuan made the decision to take the smaller half of the pigs and divide the larger half among the four families.

This made everyone very happy. After all, the pigs were hunted by their sons desperately, and they were just getting rich.

When dividing the pigs, the doctor Liu Xueyuan entrusted also came. He carefully examined the wound for Liu Zhan and confirmed that it was only a flesh injury. As for the immobile left hand, it was sprained and healed after a month of rest.

The doctor left some Tieba medicine wine and was about to leave. Under the reminder of Zhang's aunt, Mrs. Zhao cut up a piece of pork about two catties as a reward for the doctor, and the doctor left happily.

In the evening, each family put together tables, chairs and benches and set up a banquet in the courtyard of the Liu family. All five families ate a delicious meal of butchered pigs.

Naturally, Liu Zhan couldn't be missing when eating, and he didn't care about the pain and opened up to eat. It was finally the first full meal since time travel.

During the dinner, Cao Ming's father also brought out his homemade rice wine, and after drinking the wine, the men began to call each other brothers and talk about everything.

The fact that the Liu family was dismissed from office and exiled was no secret in Tiancang Village, but Wen Qingshan's father was the first to pay for the family fortune.

"You won't believe me if I tell you, my grandfather was also an official, and I was famous in the Jici Temple. My grandfather was famous in the East, and he was an official in the county of Linjiang Prefecture. Later, the emperor went to the East to raise food and grass because of my father. If you don't do your best, you will be sent into exile."

"The county guard is a bird, I have a great general in my ancestors!" Cao Zhuang's father laughed.

"May I ask who is the ancestor of Brother Cao?" Liu Xueyuan never thought that several barefoot farmers had this connection.

"My name is Cao Tie, and Cao Ming's father's name is Cao Ma. We are blood brothers. My great-grandfather was Cao Gui, the great general of the Qi State." Cao Zhuang's father took a sip of wine proudly.

"23 years ago when the Great Chu destroyed Qi, my father Cao Ge died under random arrows as a vanguard general. Because my Cao family did not want to surrender to Chu, Chu ordered the Cao family to kill the men over ten years old, and the female relatives and ten-year-olds. The following boys were exiled to the frontier, because my brother and I survived at a young age."

Liu Zhan at the next table couldn't help feeling the power of his genes when he heard this. No wonder Cao Zhuang was young and powerful, and he turned out to be from a family of generals!

At this time, the three brothers Liu Xueyuan, Liu Xueyi and Liu Xueli were already extremely moved, and Liu Xueyuan even bowed to the two of them.

"The ancestors of the Cao family sacrificed their lives for the country with iron bones, which is admirable and admirable."

"Heroes don't ask where they came from, we're not drunk today!" Cao Ma laughed.

At this time, Liu Zhan suddenly thought, Wen Qingshan and the brothers Cao's family had extraordinary backgrounds, so the Zhang family could not be some kind of hidden celebrity, right?

"Hey, Manzi, what did your ancestors do?" Liu Zhan asked playfully.

Zhang Xiaoman's father at the next table heard this.

"My name is Zhang Fusheng. Our ancestors were originally rich merchants in the south of the Yangtze River. The southern conquests of Chu □□ spent a lot of money. Everywhere they went, they took the local rich merchants to be knifed. In that year, none of the rich merchants in the south of the Yangtze River was spared."

Liu Zhan was very surprised to think that this Chu □□ is so headstrong not only did not cause Chu to perish, but also established Chu as the overlord of the world. It seems that being overbearing to the extreme is invincible in a certain sense.

"Emperor Xuanzong is a bit of a sexist now." Liu Xueyi couldn't help but said.

"Second brother, don't talk about the emperor indiscriminately." Liu Xueyuan said seriously.

Cao Tie laughed. "Why don't you say it? The mountains are high and the emperor is far away, and the poor mountains and rivers are far away. Who cares about us? Don't be fooled by Chen Baihu's indifferent attitude. He is just an illiterate young man who can't fight. , it’s okay to take care of the things in the fields, but it’s not enough to do more.”

"It's better to be more careful." Liu Xueyuan thought to himself that his family was hand-picked criminals after all.

Everyone enjoyed the meal.

After eating, Liu Zhan lay down on the kang with his eyes closed and rested his mind, thinking that what the men said during the banquet was not completely untouched, that's all.

In the days that followed, Liu Zhan was confined at home. Within a few days, snowflakes fell in the mountains, and the sky and the earth were suddenly white.

Because Zhang’s aunt had mentioned a few more words on the day of the pig slaughter, how cold the Liu’s kitchen had to go through the snow to cook and boil water outside in winter. It is connected with the main house.

Because the house was not built with bricks and tiles, all the materials used to build the thatched hut were obtained locally without spending a penny. The next day, the Wen family of the Cao family of the Zhang family came to help when they found out, and they just rushed to build the house before the heavy snow closed the mountain.

The newly built house also included the kitchen, and there were two rooms separated by the extra space, one for the storeroom, and the other for the quilt, because Liu Zhan had grown up and could not sleep with his parents anymore.

Because of the help of others, the house was built better than the original two, which made Liu Xueyuan very grateful. He wanted to give some pork as a reward, but he was unanimously declined.

Cao Tie stood up. "I'm thick-skinned. Let me tell you. Although our ancestors were once prominent, our generation can't even read a word. We have the cheek to beg Mr. to teach these brats how to read."

Liu Xueyuan didn't react immediately.

A few people thought he was unwilling, so Zhang Fusheng hurriedly said: "Sir, you are a master with a reputation for raising people. It is true that we have been promoted. Don't mind, we are all willing to pay tuition fees, and you don't have to worry about things in the field next year." , Our brother has a few bags."

Wen Qingshan also said: "Mr., today's world has changed a little in ten years, and a big change in 50 years. We bet that our children and grandchildren will not live in this deep mountain forever. I beg you to agree to our unfeeling Please."

The pleas of several people had a great impact on Liu Xueyuan.

Just when Liu Xueyuan had given up on life and planned to face the loess and the sky for the rest of his life, the words of a few peasants made his heart alive again.

Liu Xueyuan bowed to several people with tears in his eyes. "Brothers think highly of Liu, and Liu absolutely has no reason to refuse."

Liu Xueyuan was 33 years old and Liu Zhan was 12 years old in the year Liu Tonghe and his family were ransacked and exiled.

In the depths of the mountain, which is almost isolated from the world, when the Liu family is struggling to survive, it seems that God has not completely given up on them.

Afterwards, the mountains were covered by heavy snow, and every family began to live in cat winter. Since there were no classes in winter, the families agreed to pay homage to the teacher after the end of spring plowing in the next spring.

As for Liu Zhan, he was banned until New Year's Eve.

On the [-]th day of the new year, Liu Xueyuan made ancestral tablets and the tablets of the late Liu Tonghe and Tao Geer out of wood, and asked Zhao to cut a large piece of pork to worship the ancestors.

Before dinner, Liu Xueyuan, Liu Xueyi, and Liu Xueli led their family to kowtow to their ancestors.

The old lady sat aside and wiped her tears, thinking about what she wanted Liu Tonghe not to worry about, and said that although life was hard, she was still alive.

The second room, Ning, just sat on the ground blankly and looked at Brother Tao's memorial tablet, and she didn't respond to talking to her, and she didn't do anything to help her up.

These days, Ning's illness is getting worse and worse, even the children don't care, they just sit there all day, and now Sister Xin and Brother Che are being taken care of by Fang.

Seeing Ning's situation, Liu Xueyuan couldn't bear it, so he discussed with Liu Xueyi to sell half a piece of pork in Kaichun in exchange for some money for Ning's medical treatment.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the Cao family, the Wen family, and the Zhang family came to pay New Year’s greetings one after another. The Cao family brothers brought a chicken, and the Wen family sent some duck eggs and pickled vegetables. tea table.

The originally empty Liu family hall suddenly looked decent, and the generosity of the three families moved Liu Xueyuan for a long time.

Mrs. Zhao was busy returning gifts to the Zhang family. According to the custom, the Liu family had to get half of the gifts back, but the Liu family had nothing else to offer except the half-fried pig made of smoked bacon. I have to sell half of it to treat Ning's illness, which made Zhao's worry bad for a while.

Liu Xueyuan patted Zhao Shi on the shoulder. "Madam, forget it, we can only keep this love in our hearts, and we will repay it when we have a chance in the future."

After that, Liu Zhan was finally allowed to go out on the second day of the Lunar New Year. The boy's body was very resilient, and Liu Zhan couldn't feel any abnormality in his left hand at all.

However, this injury still woke him up. In ancient times, the medical conditions were backward. If you had to reach a dead end, you could not easily joke about your own life. Liu Zhan didn't think he could wear it again.

"Boss! I miss us so much!" Cao Zhuang almost fainted Liu Zhan when he came.

As soon as Liu Zhan was released, his four younger brothers couldn't wait to find him. The teenagers had a noisy conversation for a long time, and the theme was nothing more than how boring Maodong's life was!

Liu Zhan said to his younger brothers. "Let's go up the mountain."

The four screamed in excitement.

These days, Liu Xueyuan would come to educate him whenever he was free, and he was not allowed to go hunting in the mountains with repeated orders, but who is he, Liu Zhan?

If you are really so obedient, you will see a ghost. At most, you will not provoke wild boars. As for pheasants, hares, fish and snails, it should be a disaster or a disaster.

Today is the day when the small animals came out to look for food after the snow. Liu Zhan took a handful of coarse grains and planned to go up the mountain to make a trap for the pheasants. The pheasants in winter have enough fat to move around. Fat and strong!Just thinking about it makes people salivate.
