Autumn in Northeast China should be dry. After snow falls in winter, it is also more dry.

As a result, it is raining frequently now!

It was raining and freezing, which was the first time he had encountered such weather.

"The firewood at home is all placed in the firewood room, and it can burn some. The first three large firewood rooms and two small firewood rooms in the house are almost enough, right? There are also a lot of corn husks..." Xiao Geer sat On the kang, I calculated the cost of firewood at home. This thing should not be covered with moisture, otherwise the fire will be a puff of smoke.

Tie Qing saw him rambling there, but felt that the years were peaceful.

That night, I ate fried bacon with bamboo shoots and smoked bamboo shoots, and it really went well with the meal.

It's just a little spicy, Xiao Geer's lips are red, and he still wants to eat it, but Tie Qing stops him: "Eating a little is enough, and I will make this dish tomorrow."

I also soaked dried sand fruit for Brother Xiao. This thing is sweet and sour, appetizing and thirst quenching, and can neutralize the spicy taste.

That night, the northwest wind blew again, okay, the noise, whirring, scared Brother Xiaoshan to always look at the door, for fear that something would come in.

Tie Qing had no choice but to light candles and lanterns: "It's okay, the room is so bright, let's sleep."

Holding the child to sleep, even so, the child is still waking up, Xiao Geer looked at it for a long time, and suddenly stretched out his hand to cover the child's small ears. Sure enough, the child slept well like this.

"He heard something, and his little ears are still sharp." Brother Xiao couldn't laugh or cry, but he didn't dare to take his hand away, and kept covering the child's ears like this.

Pointed ears, in the northeast, mean good hearing. Brother Xiaoshan’s small ears are not particularly sharp. If the wind blows a little louder with good hearing, he will not be able to sleep well.

In fact, he was also scared, after all, he was still young.

Tie Qing hugged the child, leaned on the quilt, saw the child fell asleep, and brought Fu Lang over: "You lean against me to sleep, I hold the child, and you cover his ears."

Now the family of three can only sleep like this.

"Okay." Brother Xiao pulled a new quilt over, covered the three of them in one quilt, and fell asleep like that.

The next day, the couple were out of breath, but Brother Xiaoshan was alive and kicking. He slept well, so he was naturally refreshed.

In the end, the couple had to take turns to take him to play, and the other took the opportunity to catch up on sleep.

The northwest wind blows for two days, and the ice on the ground melts away. It's not winter after all.

But everyone seldom went out, Tie Qing went up the mountain, he spotted two litters of wild boars, and shot them all down.

Eight big wild boars, more than twenty middle-class wild boars, and sixty or seventy small wild boars.

Alright, Lao Tie's family has invited everyone to eat pig-killing rice in advance.

"We have also been up the mountain, why can't we see these big wild boars?" Yang Dasheng took a pig's trotter for his father and gnawed loudly at the same time, a group of young men followed suit.

"If you meet him, it's probably not us eating wild boars, but wild boars eating you!" Qiao Daqing joked cheerfully: "If the wild boar you meet is a sow, then you probably have a pig son!"

"Am I that not picky eater?" Yang Dasheng retorted: "Lang sow is still a wild boar, can I eat it?"

"You didn't eat your mouth, what are you doing?" Tie Qing pointed to the few bones that had been gnawed next to his bowl: "I didn't say that, Uncle Yang, your eldest son is not just a child. Mouth, but still gnawing clean."

A group of people laughed out loud.

Tie Qing doesn't search for it. Although the shreds of wild boar meat are not as delicate as domestic pork, it has a lot of oil and water, and this kind of pork, even if it is fat, is not attractive to people.

Naren is the Northeast dialect, which means bored.

It is especially suitable for the elderly. Aunt Xinghua also made pan-fried wild pork dumplings, which are very delicious.

After eating this big meal, it snowed heavily the next day!

This time it was really snowing, and it was cloudy in the middle of the night, and I didn't even see the sun in the morning. The sky was overcast, with only a little light, so Tie Qing had to light a candle in the house.

As a result, just after breakfast, it began to snow. It was heavy at the beginning, and it continued for a long time, and it only became smaller in the afternoon.

In such cold weather, everyone doesn’t like to go out. It’s a custom in the Northeast that when the first snow falls, cat winter begins.

And after the first snow fell, basically, everyone had two meals.

The Tie family also ate two meals, but they had a hot haggis soup for lunch.

At noon, while drinking mutton soup, Tie Qing heard the sound of horses passing by outside the gate, maybe other people couldn’t hear it, but he is a supernatural being, with good ears and eyes, he can still hear what he wants to hear, and he can Hearing that the people from the Great General's Mansion next door opened the door for the visitor.

It turned out that it was a scout from the Northeast Camp who reported that the horse thieves outside the customs had gathered 2 horses and planned to detain them.

Tie Qing is not in the mood to drink soup anymore, at this time, hold off?The horse thieves and bandits on the opposite side, do you have paste in your head?

"What's the matter?" Brother Xiao didn't know what was going on outside. He fed the child soup and let the child play with cloth pockets on the kang, and the little dolls that Xianggong taught him to make. The child loves to play with this now Yes, the previous building blocks are no longer touched.

"It's nothing, are you full? How about lying down for a while? Don't sleep too long, it's time to go to sleep at night." Tie Qing put down the soup bowl and cleared the table.

"Okay." Brother Xiao yawned: "Now that it's snowing, I don't want to go out."

"Then don't go out." Tie Qing packed up his things and sent them to the kitchen by himself.

Starting today, half of the long-term workers in the family go to work and half go on vacation. It is enough for everyone to come to the boss in turn.

In fact, there is not much work in winter. It is nothing more than sweeping the yard, feeding livestock and poultry, and other tasks are basically just things that can be solved casually.

Not only Tie Qing felt that those people's heads were full of paste, but Xiao Wei also felt the same way: "Say it again? What's wrong with the people outside the pass? Do you want to hold the pass at this time? Or a group of horse thieves and bandits?"

Horse bandits and bandits are not the same as horse bandits.

Horse bandits are a group of thieves who come and go like the wind.

The horse thieves and bandits are more like a group of robbers.

There is no organization or discipline. When they meet, they will rush to grab things and run away. Many times, they will not hurt people to death, but they will not bring any good things to people. It doesn’t matter if they can’t die, but on the grassland, Without tents to keep out the wind and rain, without cattle, sheep and horses to eat and drink, do you still want to live?

These horse bandits don't kill people, but they make life worse than death.

"Yes, General, my subordinates are right. Please go back to command the General." The scouts who came to deliver the letter couldn't figure it out. It's almost a tacit understanding in the Northeast that it's easy not to fight in this winter.

Who knows if anyone actually declares war at this time.

"Could it be the same as last time, someone made a detour?" Xiao Wei thought of this.

No matter when, there is no shortage of conspiracy theories. Xiao Wei is going back to the army to take charge, but before he left, he left enough manpower to protect Yushu Village.

The same is true for Shao Xiaobo and Li Jun.

In addition, Yushu Village has been renovated, but its ability to protect itself is outstanding.

Xiao Wei's side is like a mountain of military orders, he left within half an hour at home, and he didn't even need to say hello to Tie Qing, he believed that Tie Qing would definitely take good care of his family.

Sure enough, he walked in a hurry, and as soon as he left, he went to the General's Mansion with his back feet livid. Knowing that Xiao Wei had left again, he said, "If that's the case, what's the matter with my brother-in-law, just send someone to let me know." , the three of us come here every now and then to see everyone, let's have a meal together!"

It's impossible for him to ignore them, let's say it's the General's Mansion, what if someone tries to grind them down?

Although it is impossible for such a thing to happen in this era, who made Tie Qing come from the last days and has seen too many evil faces of human nature.

"Okay, if Brother Xiao comes, I'll make him potato and radish stick soup." Old Aunt Xiao was helping her eldest grandson to slide back and forth on the kang.

Tie Qing responded and went back.

Although Xiao Wei and the others left, the family was not worried. For Shanlang Pass, which has a high city, thick walls and extremely strict defense, unless the people on the opposite side want to fight in the field, they can't afford to fight a fortified battle, and they can't fight it either.

There are no siege equipment on the grassland, and it is purely daydream if they want to climb the city wall.

This is also what everyone has learned from the experience of fighting the enemy for many years.

When Tie Qing came back, Brother Xiao asked him, "What's wrong?"

Tie Qing talked about Xiao Wei's departure and said it was fine.

"How big is the north side? Why do things happen every year on the grassland?" Brother Xiao couldn't understand: "I've heard the names of many tribes on the grassland. Where are they? It's so cold in winter. Where do they spend the winter?"

"There must be a place. In fact, the grassland is very big and rich, but they don't know how to manage it." Tie Qing said: "And there are so many cattle and sheep on the grassland!"

Speaking of cattle and sheep, Brother Xiao announced the good news to Tie Qi: "Our family has three more cattle, the calf that was born just now."

"Okay, good thing." Tie Qing's family actually has a lot of cattle, sheep and horses. These are animals that can give birth. Their family property has been growing.

Not cattle, sheep and horses, but also donkeys.

It was snowing heavily outside, Yushu Village was in the snow, and at the foot of the West Mountain, it looked so quiet.

It was this silence that could not last for a few days.

After the snow fell, although we cleaned it up in time, everyone didn't go out much, and the temperature dropped at this moment, and many people burned stoves and firewalls.

In recent days, the sky is still a bit cloudy, and it has been like this for several days, and the sun is always only a little bit, not so bright.

But in the past few days, the people who went to serve at the border came back.

"How is the situation at the border?" Tie Qing asked the person who came back.

"It's okay, there's no danger." The man who came back told Tie Qing: "The group of people are calling outside the pass, but they can't fight. The two armies are confronting each other. Even if it consumes supplies, we can afford it."

Because Yushu Village became rich, many people bought labor with money.

So there are really few people who go to labor, not even Liu San'er, he takes care of his husband and children at home, this is one of the few years when their family bought labor.

Some people came back and said: "Those people have nothing, just climbing the city wall with bare hands?"

Everyone thinks about it, don't you!

They couldn't figure it out, and Xiao Wei couldn't figure it out either.

Li Jun's scouts were released, but they didn't find out the other party's intentions. Instead, they passed by the other party's scouts, and nothing happened.

It's amazing!

As a result, a few days later, the other party sent someone to ask to see the general guarding the pass.

"Please see me? It's strange!" Xiao Wei thought for a while: "Bring it in, I'll see you."

The other party was quickly brought in by the soldiers, who turned out to be a middle-aged man from the prairie: "Respected general, Baghdad, a man from the prairie, I have met you."

His etiquette is nondescript, but it can be seen that he is a sociable person.

It's just that Xiao Wei looked familiar to him, and his posture was somewhat similar to Bach's.

"If you want to see General Ben, General Ben will see you. If you have anything to do, tell me quickly." Xiao Wei really wanted to end the matter, and ran back to Mao Dong beside his husband and child.

"Yes, our boss has a beloved woman, but she is sick and has not given birth to children. Our boss is very anxious. I heard that there is a Shulin County behind you. There is a Yushu Village under the name of Shulin County? There is a village named Tie Qing in the village. There is an ancestral prescription that can make a woman conceive and have a child after taking it. Our boss wants to take the woman to him to see a doctor and ask for a medicine so that his beloved woman can have a child .” Baghdad said truthfully: “We want to bring people through.”
