Druid's Country Retirement

Chapter 316
After experiencing great sorrow and great joy, the atmosphere between Liu and Zhang's family became harmonious. Erni's staunch temper directly made Widow Liu give up the conditions for recruiting talents, but one cent of the [-] betrothal gifts must be included, and Erni's dividends are also included.

The only requirement is that Er Ni, regardless of whether the second child is a boy or a girl, must have the surname Liu to continue the blood of the Liu family. Widow Liu is willing to bear all the living expenses of the child.

In this regard, the Shuisheng family said that the bride price, dividends, and children are not a problem, as long as the two children are agreed to get married.

That's how the matter was resolved peacefully.

When it comes time to discuss marriage, it is a family matter between the two families, and it is not easy for outsiders to get involved.

Everyone got up to leave one after another, Li Hongbing declined Shuisheng's invitation to stay for dinner, and left with Shanxing and Laozhu.

After chatting a few words at the door, they each dispersed.

Shan Xing sat sideways on the old pig's back, accompanied by Li Hongbing, and walked slowly in the village alley. The elms and fruit trees protruding from the houses on both sides of the alley cast shade, and Cicada yelled desperately.

"Brother, you are awesome!" Shan Xing suddenly boasted.

Li Hongbing smiled badly, "That's great?"

"Brother, you are so bad!" Shan Xing felt that there was something in his words, and raised his fist angrily.

"Hahaha!!"

Li Hongbing laughed happily in the village alley.

At the southernmost part of the village alley, which is the exit at the other end of the alley, there is an open space with an old willow tree growing. This willow tree can only be hugged by two adults.

I don't know how many years ago, there were its children next to the willow tree, and clusters of small willow trees popped up, and they all grew to the thickness of the mouth of a bowl, and they became a small willow forest.

Next to the old willow tree, there is a pond, which is a seasonal pond, half the size of a basketball court and about half a meter deep.During the rainy season, the accumulated water flowing down from the mountain will fill it up, and it will slowly dry up in autumn.

In spring, when old willow trees sprout new shoots, Li Hongbing would climb up the tree with his companions when he was a child, chop off the soft willow branches, unscrew the skin, and pull out the willow sticks inside.

At that time, Shanxing was the most skillful, and he could make flutes and whistles, and put them on his mouth to blow them, making beeping and chirping sounds.

At that time, Li Hongbing learned music somehow, and played the song "Dongfanghong", which made other children envious

In the summer evening, Li Hongbing and his friends would search under the willow trees.

When Cicada got out of the ground and was caught by the waiting children, the willow forest was suddenly full of joy.

The children are all scrambling to find, discuss, and fight and yell.

In the evening, after harvesting cicadas, put them in canned jars, build an earthen stove in the open space, find a thin stone slab and put it on the stove, light a fire in the hearth, and the children take turns stealing lard from home and put it on the stove. slate.

When the lard is hot, fry the cicadas on a slate and sprinkle with a little salt. At that time, lard is very precious, and it is generally reluctant to put it away.

Fry the cicada, pick it up with your hands and eat it, grin your mouth when it’s hot, take a bite, the aroma, the deliciousness, can’t be expressed.

It's a pity that the alley is still there, and childhood can only become a memory.

Chatting with Shan Xing about childhood fun all the way, unknowingly walking to the end of the alley, I could vaguely hear the chirping of children, including Anna.

Li Hongbing and Shan Xing looked at each other and smiled.

Before walking out of the alley, the four wolf dogs smelled their father and ran over shaking their heads.

"Where's Anna?"

Woohoo!

Da Huatou looked outside, sobbing softly.

"Let's go, let's see what she's playing." Li Hongbing walked out of the alley with a smile.

At this time, a fierce battle was going on by the pond.

There are seven or eight children headed by Scarlet, and seven or eight children headed by Tie Dan and Anna.

The two sides stood on both sides of the pond, five or six meters apart, and threw mud at each other.

It turned out that we were fighting a trash battle.

Li Hongbing held down the big flower, motioning him not to scream, and took the mountain apricot to hide under the shade of a willow tree, reliving childhood games.

Fight a rough battle.

It is a game often played by rural children.

At that time, there were no TVs, computers, mobile phones, or the Internet in the countryside. What I looked forward to most was the film team coming to the village to show movies.

Li Hongbing and his friends, the favorite movies to watch are mine warfare, tunnel warfare, plain guerrillas, crossing the river reconnaissance and other combat films.

Those fierce battle scenes left a deep imprint on my mind, so there was a war simulation game like fighting a waste battle.

In the era when farming cattle were everywhere, dirt and rubbish were everywhere and could be picked up at hand.

The children are not like now. They are stuck at home with endless homework or playing with mobile phones that cannot be put down. Whenever they have time, they run out of the house and gather together in small groups. When there are too many children, they will often be divided into two groups. , Under the leadership of the child king of both sides, they fought a rough battle.

The battlefield is generally chosen in a relatively wide yard, and each side hides behind a stack of straw, throwing rubbish at each other to attack.

The older children cast on the front line, while the younger children look for and deliver "ammunition" behind them.

Clever commanders sometimes imitate movies and divide the "troops" into two parts, one part fights frontally, and the other part fights in a roundabout way, copying to the back and attacking from both sides.

When one side is broken or a child is shot and cries, or surrenders, the war is over.

Later, Li Hongbing couldn't enjoy playing with his friends in the village. He felt that it was boring and couldn't arouse the fighting spirit.

At that time, the children in Caogou Village were wild, and they were ruthless enough to beat the Kela team from Shilipu so that they ran away and cried.

For this reason, Li Hongbing even made a fuss. At that time, he didn't know that the bastard had wrapped a stone in the mud and was hit directly between the eyebrows. At that time, the blood was rushing, and the other children were scared to cry, but Li Hongbing directly grabbed a piece of mud. , Put it on the wound, the slight injury can't go to the line of fire, and continue to fight.

Up to now, there is still a shallow scar between the eyebrows.

time reincarnation.

When it comes to the new generation of children, they continue to play the games they have played before, but their fighting enthusiasm is not known how many times worse.

Li Hongbing watched and shook his head.

The soil was smashed and the garbage was soft, as if I hadn't eaten.

No tactics at all.

Encirclement, detour, and counter-charge can't be seen at all, they just pick up dirt and throw it out without thinking, and they don't even know who they hit.

The most important point is not to swear at others, because not swearing at others can be called a waste of war.

To fight a dirty battle, you must keep your mouth clean and rush at the opponent with messy things in your hands, so that it can be called authentic.

Ugh!
Now the child is far worse than when I was a child!
Li Hongbing couldn't bear it anymore and whispered a reminder.

"Tie Dan, Anna, don't scatter them, concentrate your fire on only one."

Hearing her father's tactical guidance, Anna turned her head and was stunned for a moment. When she turned her head and was hit in the face by a cloud of mud, she instantly turned into a muddy face.

But Anna remembers what her father said.

Discuss with Tiedan and choose the scarlet as the target of the concentrated firepower.

All of a sudden, dense piles of dirt were thrown towards the mangy head.

On the other side of the pond, Scarlet was very happy to lead. His team members were a little older and naturally stronger, and they had an advantage over the old, weak, women and children in Tie Dan's team.

"Second baby, hit it right, you haven't eaten!"

"Panbing, go and pick up some dirt, mud is also fine."

"Niu Wazi, charge and subdue them."

"Brothers, hold on, you must stand on it." The leper was wearing a wicker hat on his head, standing on a bump in the pond, pinching his waist with one hand, and waving the other hand.

In the middle of shouting, a ball of mud suddenly hit his face, the mangy spit out the mud in his mouth a few times, and was about to look for the murderer, when another few balls of mud rained down on him.

Scarlet head shrunk his head and lay down on the ground, dodging the sneak attack, but just as he raised his head, another wave of mud and dirt hit him, making Scarlet unable to lift his head up.

"Goofy, they use decapitation tactics, Niu Wazi, you are in charge of command." The manipou saw Tie Dan's intentions and hid behind the dirt bag.

Finally able to be the commander-in-chief.

Niu Wazi happily ran out from behind the willow tree, and just about to command his team members to counterattack, a wave of mud and dirt also threw him behind the dirt bag, and he was with the mangy head.

"Brother Lame, what should we do?" Niu Wazi asked pitifully.

Scarlet's face was speechless, without his own command, all his subordinates became stragglers.

Strange.

Since when did Tie Dan become so smart and know how to behead.

"Niu Wazi, you crawl out to investigate and see who is teaching Tie Dan how to fight."

"Oh!" Niu Wazi crawled out of the soil bag like an earthworm with pouted buttocks, and climbed to the side of the pond. He suddenly saw the red soldier squatting in the shade of a tree, pointing to his side, and hurriedly crawled back to the soil bag.

"Brother, Tie Dan is playing tricks, ask the grandfather for help."

"Damn it, I told you that Iron Egg is as stupid as a pig, but now he's enlightened and understands tactics." Hearing this, the rogue was furious, punched the ground heavily, stood up and raised his hands, and ran to the ground. On the other side of the pond, "No more fights, no more fights, you guys are playing tricks and looking for reinforcements."

Tie Dan jumped out from behind the willow tree, and taunted, "If you can't beat it, you can't beat it, can't you afford it?"

"Yes, yes!" Anna echoed.

"I can't afford it?" Scarlet looked indignantly, looking at Li Hongbing who was hiding in the shade of a tree and giggling, he was even more angry, he jumped up and shouted, "Grandpa, you are getting sidetracked."

Li Hongbing came out from the shade of the tree, and the old pig followed behind, his mighty and domineering appearance instantly caught the children's attention.

"Little aunt, is it the old pig you mentioned?"

"Hey, what a big guy, bigger than my pig."

"Master, do your wild boars bite people?"

The children surrounded the old pig and asked questions, but Li Hongbing didn't know which one to answer. Anna rolled her eyes slyly, and ran to the old pig, patted her belly, "I'm riding a pig."

hum!

The old pig lay down on the ground, turned his head and put his fangs on his side, motioning for Anna to step on the fangs.

Climbing up the pig's back, Anna excitedly grabbed the grabbing rope on the saddle, shouting, "Drive!!"

Snoring!
The old pig swished out, from stillness to acceleration in just a split second, like an out-of-control tank rushing into the pond, the huge impact blasted two water curtains in the pond, accompanied by Anna in the water curtain Shouting, water splashed all over the sky.

Wow!
The children opened their mouths wide and watched as the big wild boar disappeared into the willow forest through the pond with Anna on its back.

After a while.

The wild boar came back rumbling. Anna's face was flushed with excitement, and she climbed down from the pig's back, her legs still feeling weak.

"Grandfather." Tie Dan looked up at Li Hongbing, his eyes glistening with gum. I want to ride too.

"If you want to ride yourself and tell Laozhu, I can't control it." Li Hongbing waved his hand.

hum!

You also want to ride me, eat fart!

When the old pig heard this, he let out a low growl and shook his head. The frightened children ran back crying.

"Don't scare the children." Li Hongbing patted the old pig's head lightly, and then spread his hands to the children, "It likes to be ridden too much, you should continue to fight the crap."

Keep fighting!

It was only then that the children remembered that due to Li Hongbing's foul, the fight ended halfway through.

"Don't fight anymore, the grandpa is sided with the fight, how can we fight!" Laidou was dejected, and finally made an appointment with Tie Dan to decide who is the king of children in Caogou Village. Fuck it!

Li Hongbing said with a smirk, "Well, how about I challenge all of you to one-on-one, and if I lose, I'll treat you to delicious food, and if you lose, go water the vegetable fields, how about it?"

Hit all our children alone!
Scarlet and Tie Dan looked at each other, seeing joy in each other's eyes.

Grandfather alone has one pair of hands. We have more than ten children with more than ten hands. No matter how we fight, we will win.
And the grandfather's house has a lot of delicious food, some will fight this battle!
"Grandpa, you mean what you say, and you are the only one." Tie Dan confirmed worriedly.

Li Hongbing nodded, and suddenly thought of something, "It's not easy to collect ammunition alone, so how about I take the old pig with me, it just collects ammunition for me."

"Okay!" Scarlet head was full of confidence.

And so, the interrupted battle started again.

With the pond as the boundary, there are children from the village on one side, and Li Hongbing and Laozhu on the other side. The referee falls on Shanxing's head.

"Are you ready?" Li Hongbing shouted with a smile.

Each of the children held a piece of soil in their hands, "Get ready, hit!"

Whoosh whoosh!
More than a dozen pieces of dirt fell on Li Hongbing, and one of them was thrown by Anna.

Li Hongbing secretly laughed. In Shuanggou Village, the stones all over the sky did not hit him. There are only a few pieces of dirt, who do you look down on!

But acting still has to perform a full set.

He deliberately used his body to catch a few clods of soil that were not painful or itchy, and screamed loudly, which caused the children to cheer and speed up the speed of throwing the clods.

"Old pig, start working!"

The old pig lowered his head, stabbed his fangs into the soil, exerted all his strength, turned into a pig-shaped bulldozer, and dug open the soft ground beside the pond, exposing the yellow mud under the soil layer.

Li Hongbing grabbed a handful of yellow mud, rubbed it into a soil ball in his hands, and aimed at the most yelling scarlet to throw it.

Snapped!
A lump of mud hit the scarlet head's face, the yellow mud was very sticky and directly stuck to the nose, eyes, and mouth.

Losing his sight, the scarlet head scurried around like a headless chicken while scraping the mud off his face with his hands, and finally plunged into the pond, turning into a drowned rat.

Get one.

Li Hongbing grabbed another ball of yellow mud, kneaded it into a ball, stared at Tie Dan with a sinister smile.

Tie Dan hiding behind the tree is not stupid, just now the grandfather asked him to concentrate his firepower on one, but now that the scorpion is dead, it will definitely be his turn next.

Anyway, I won't come out, let's see how the grandfather smashes it.

"Quickly, strengthen the firepower, suppress the enemy, and the victory belongs to us."
