My Taoist buddy has practiced surrogacy

Chapter 409
If I really want to call him Master, I'm afraid he will still annoy us.We call him big brother, he is only happy. "

Uncle Zhou thought for a while, and said: "It's up to you, but there is one thing. In the past few days, the master is planning there, so you should go there more often. If there is anything you need to help, you can help. And you have to tell the master, Regardless of others, this training group is the first to participate.”

Zhou Can said: "Father, it's up to you to talk about it. Don't worry, I'll go right after dinner. I've already thought about it. I'll do whatever my elder brother asks me to do. I'm absolutely unambiguous and let others see , our Zhou family is in the villa, no matter what we do, we will be the first ones."

In the past two days, it was not only Uncle Zhou who was thinking about it, but also the heads of the Wang family, Zhou family, and Chen family.As far as this villa is concerned, although it is a good place on weekdays, there is no competition.But after all, we are not relatives, and our clan members are much more affectionate than other clans. Who wouldn't want their clan to be more powerful, able to stand upright when they do things and speak?It turned out that in this village, the Zhou family came earlier and there were more people in the clan. Although Brother Zhou was honest, the brothers were all shrewd masters with a united heart.Discussing matters in the village, the logical big idea is that they take it.Now that the outside world is more chaotic, seeing that Zhuangzi is about to expand, Zhou Xing's idea is really fair, especially for the Elders' Association. Although the Zhou family is still the largest in the future, the power of these big clans If the newcomers are added to my own family, the Zhou family will not be able to keep their promises.Moreover, the director of security is not Zhou's family, but Zhou Xing, an outsider.Although Zhou Xing was rescued by Zhou Bao, Zhou Bao was not a member of the Zhou family. He also contributed to the usual care, and his children got along well with Zhou Xing.Presumably there will be no disadvantages in the future.So no matter what, we must help Zhou Xing to get this matter done, not only the safety of Zhuangzi will be guaranteed.After that, my own family, as the elders of Zhuangzi, are highly respected and respected by others.Besides, relief for exiles, relief of hunger and poverty, is a major matter of accumulating virtue, and in the future, according to the rules, everyone has to pay to the public warehouse, whether it is more or less, it is very fair.I don't begrudge the cost of this food, why not do it?
These patriarchs were not slow in their actions. They all called their brothers and nephews and ordered them one by one. One was the arrangement of the village and what each family should do. Get closer to Zhou Xing and listen to Zhou Xing's orders.The young people in these tribes had a good impression of Zhou Xing, and they also liked to be lively. The patriarch gave orders again, so is there anyone who is disobedient?Everyone responded in unison, gearing up to join in the fun with Zhou Xing.

The ten or so newly arrived households were not a family, but they got together on the way to escape. The chances of surviving the escape, the old, the young, the sick, and the weak, were rare, and they encountered rebellion and crimes, and many died. The ratio is larger.The two leading men, one surnamed Huang and the other surnamed Zhang, were not familiar with each other at first, but when encountering rioting soldiers, they also relied on their own strength to stand up and lead the crowd to fight, relying on this to save their lives Thanks to him, he became the head of these families.

When I came to this valley, I saw that the terrain and soil were really good, suitable for settling down, and I was afraid that the local people would not let me in.On my side, they are all honest and honest people, and they can't argue with others for the sake of safety. Besides, there are so many people in the villa, even if they disagree, they can't argue.The idea in my heart is to beg hard, as long as people are willing to take them in, even if they pay rent to them, it is better than wandering around again. Now that I see this village, no matter the owners or other villagers, they are all kind and friendly. My heart is also relieved.When the young master came, he was even more affectionate and righteous. He not only took him in, but also made plans for the safety of life in the village in the future. He not only regarded his ten or so households as his own, but also thought about the future. The refugees who came again are really generous.After that, I also became the owner of this villa, and I wanted to repay Master Zhou's kindness no matter what.

After the discussion yesterday, Huang and Zhang have already told each family about what was discussed in the village. Some of the households are almost out of food. They were taken in, provided with food relief, allocated acres of land, and helped build houses for resettlement. No matter the age or age, they all cheered and were extremely grateful.As for the need to pay some ground rent in the future, it has long been automatically ignored by everyone.It’s only natural that we need others to help people eat now, and pay some to help people in the future, isn’t that right?If there is an opinion, is it still personal?
Fight more than the old residents?Not to mention, whose land is this?Those who come first occupy first, even if we give two buckets per mu to the old residents for nothing, they should still take it, not to mention that this grain will still be used to help others in the future.We used to pay more royal grain and national taxes than this.

Everyone is grateful, and the following things will naturally be easy to handle. Today, no matter how young or old, everyone is working hard.Those who are weak and slow, will be scolded by their family members: "Do you have a conscience? Let's help us regardless of others. This is our own business. If you are so slow, are you worthy of the fellow villagers? Hurry up! Go to work. If you are lazy again, don’t eat the food you received.”

After this day, there is a lot of work done. The new homestead has been cleaned up according to the boundaries divided by Zhou Xing, and some materials have been prepared. In two days, houses can be built and built. After recovering, let it cool down for ten days and a half months, then you can live in your own house.You don't have to squeeze in other people's homes like you are doing now, and cause trouble for them.

These people are really tired after working this day. Moreover, that family does not have a lot of food, and it will take a long time for the new harvest to come down. Relief, that is only to survive starvation.Now we still have to plan carefully, and save a bite if we can eat less. There are dozens of people, and none of them are full for dinner.After eating hastily, go to bed early and get enough energy to continue tomorrow.

Others went to bed early, but Zhou Xing was not so lucky, because Zhou Bao had been out for a day and hadn't come back yet.

Zhou Bao heard Zhou Xing talk about buying paper last night, so early this morning, he packed up his things and went out to the mountain.

In Zhou Bao's eyes, even though this week's archery was a little short, if it was about hunting, even ten weeks' trips couldn't match him.Look at Zhou Xing's body, his writing is weak, if one day Zhou Xing really went hunting on a whim, Zhou Bao didn't worry about anything else, he was really afraid that this hunting would kill Zhou Xing.Not to mention that he lost a brother, he was really afraid that the prey would underestimate him, Zhou Bao.

But Zhou Bao really admires Zhou Xing. He has never heard of what Zhou Xing said in his life. He has stayed in Hanzhong for more than 20 years and has been to this county. Just like this hometown, it is nothing more than high mountains, farmland and rivers, plus farmers, and at most there are officials like the county magistrate, how can there be such an ordinary place with hundreds of miles or thousands of miles?People there can't see the mountains, and they look flat everywhere. What's the point?Aren't you bored to death?Also, I heard from Zhou Xing that there are people in Chang'an who have blue eyes and yellow hair, aren't they just like monsters?And what Zhou Xing said, the sea, the water can't be seen to the end, the grassland looks like grass, it's really a crime, people only herd sheep and cattle, but don't grow food, it's a waste of the place.If it wasn't for the war outside, it would be very chaotic, so I would go out with Zhou Xing to see and see how big the sky is and how wide the land is.

This literacy is different. Although Zhou Xing didn't say his age this week, he looks similar to himself. Why does he know so many things?I have stayed in this village for more than ten years, and when my father is here, I have to discuss anything.Since my father left, the people in this village have treated me really well. Zhou Can and the others are like brothers to me. I was young and never asked myself to participate.How long has it been since this week's trip, not only the children are called Mr., but even the heads of the family are called Master, which is really decent.

Zhou Xing came up with these ideas yesterday, even if he killed himself, he would not be able to think of them. Looking at those words, they are Baojia, public land allocation, and public warehouse relief. What are you pretending in your mind? Say, is that reasonable?And in the future, there will be a group practice in the village, and I can't help you. It depends on skill and archery, and I am the first one. Don't say it is for the good of the villa, it depends on Brother Zhou Xing, We also want to rush to the front and do this first group training.

Seeing Brother Zhou Xing like that, begging myself to change some paper, I feel a little embarrassed.Really, what kind of friendship do we have, I am a good brother who has taken care of you for a month, and I led them back to fight you.This is doing business for the village, using me to order useless wild animals, and running errands, and I feel embarrassed.Isn't this out of touch with me?Be sure to make it clear to him next time, if you see each other like this again, you just look down on me.

Zhou Bao, I don’t know how valuable this paper is, so he was prepared for any danger. He took a leopard skin, two best fox skins, a bow and arrows, and a hunting knife, and walked out of the mountain excitedly. Zhou Xing said If you want to buy paper, you have to go to a big town.This road will take at least two and a half hours to arrive.

Along the river valley, over the rocks and over the beach, Zhou Bao came to the official road not long after breakfast.From here, along the official road, twenty miles to the north is a big town. I have been there a few times before to buy some salt and sundries.Zhou Bao took the river water, ate some dry food, took a break for a while, and continued walking towards the town.It took less than half an hour to walk, and there was a three-way intersection soon.

This Sanchakou, Zhou Baolai's direction, is going to Sanquan, going northwest, it's Xingyuan, going northeast, that's the town.There were no pedestrians to be seen on the road, not even a trace of Zhuangzi's cooking smoke that could be seen occasionally on weekdays.The mountains are still green and the river is still flowing, but there is less popularity, and there are more broken banners and bones on the roadside ditches.

Seeing that he was about to reach Sanchakou, Zhou Bao was in a hurry. Although it was cold, he was still sweating. Zhou Bao was about to take a rest, when there was a loud sound in the woods by the roadside, and twenty or so people flashed out.Some held bows and arrows, some held spears and broadswords, and Zhou Bao was the main leader.Zhou Bao was startled, and when he looked at it calmly, he saw a group of officers and soldiers surrounding him, and he calmed down a little.

The officer, headed by the officers and soldiers, was black and strong, with a slanted scar on the left cheek of his face, which looked extremely ferocious.The man signaled, and an officer and soldier stepped forward to take Zhou Bao's hunting knife, bow and arrow, and parcel.The leader looked at Zhou Bao carefully for a long time, and shouted: "You spy, where did you come from?"

Zhou Bao hurriedly cupped his hands, made a salute, and replied: "Master Jun, you have wronged me. I am a hunter in this mountain, and I have been on the official road for a year. I am not a spy like you said." .”

The officer is also from Benzhou County, and Zhou Bao's accent is really not a foreigner.However, Wang Jian had entered Sichuan from the south of the mountain at the beginning, and among the Sichuan army, there were also many sergeants in Hanzhong.Based on this accent alone, it cannot be concluded that Zhou Bao is not a spy.The officer took Zhou Bao's weapons and looked at the bows and arrows. They were all self-made, which were quite different from those used in the army.That knife is also a hunting knife commonly used by mountain people, and Zhou Bao has three points of faith in Zhou Bao's identity as a hunter.

"A hunter, don't stay in the mountains well. There is a strong army in front of you. What are you doing here? Tell me!"

"Master Jun, we're hunters, so we don't know where the army lives. I'm going to the town ahead, and I'm going to use this wild animal for my family."

The officer listened, took the package from the soldier, and when he opened it, there were three leather goods inside.When I shook it off and looked at it, I couldn't help cheering in my heart.That piece of leopard skin is a golden leopard. The body of the leopard alone is six feet long from head to buttocks, and with the nearly four-foot tail, it is nearly ten feet.This leopard must be in the prime of life, its fur is thick and shiny, and what's even more rare is that the entire leopard skin has been peeled extremely well without any damage.There is not even an arrow hole, and there is no pinch damage. I don't know how it got it.The officer looked at Zhou Bao again, and asked, "You got this fur?"

Zhou Bao used a lot of effort to fight the leopard at the beginning. He spent several days looking for and following the leopard. Later, where he was ambushing, he shot it away with an arrow, and the distance was less than thirty steps. Cheng Xiang was setting in through the left eye of the leopard, and the arrow killed him. The leopard skin was unscathed, which is quite proud of him, and he cherishes the skin very much.If it wasn't for the great affairs of the villa, and I don't know the value of the paper, I would really be reluctant to exchange this piece of leather.Seeing the officer's question, he hurriedly replied: "Master, this is indeed an arrow used by a villain. It went in through the eyes, and the skin didn't break at all."

The officer nodded and said: "You are good at archery." He looked at the two fox skins, they were also excellent, and then looked at the leopard skin, but he couldn't bear it.He pondered and said: "This piece of leopard skin is rare. If it is dedicated to the general, he must like it very much. He will definitely be promoted. Someone else will be here to drink the wind and suffer from the cold. Even this fox skin is also high-quality. It seems that this guy is really a Orion, who has no knowledge, simply planted him as a spy, and took this thing and others to the camp, and it doesn't matter whether he lives or dies at that time."
