Mountain People

    Gu's family is looking forward to Dong Chenghu's figure appearing at the door every day, Zhao has to go to the door to see it several times a day, every time with hope, and then it will be disappointed when it gets dark .

    Finally looking forward to Dong Chenghu for a month.

    "Father-in-law and mother-in-law, Shuixiu gave birth to a big fat boy, mother and son are safe, I am here to announce the good news, my mother-in-law has taken all these back, and I have to go to the town to buy some more cloth to prepare Make spring shirts for the family."

    Zhao looked over the basket and saw that there were chickens, ducks, fish, and a large piece of pork in it, so he quickly came out and said, "Chenghu, you gave half a pig before the Chinese New Year. We haven't finished eating yet! I'm afraid it's going to spoil, so most of it is made into bacon. You go to town first, and come home when you come back, I've got something, you can take it back to make up for Shuixiu."

    Dong Chenghu readily responded and drove the donkey cart of the Gu family to Panlong Town.

    I met Dad Gu on the road. Now Dad Gu seems to be much older than last year, and he lost his former look, only a touch of sadness. Dong Chenghu left without stopping. Dad didn't notice Dong Chenghu when he was thinking about his thoughts.

    Panlong Town is still the same as before. It is definitely not as lively as Zhishui County, and even less than Yongjia County, but the villagers of ten miles and eight items have to go to the town to buy things, so the flow of people Fair enough.

    Dong Chenghu drove the donkey cart and stopped at the gate of a cloth village.

    All the shops of the mayor are mainly for ordinary people, so the price is fair.

    According to Gu Shuixiu and Dong Yunmei's preferences, Dong Chenghu chose some fine cotton cloth and a few brightly colored coarse cloths.

    After buying something, Dong Chenghu didn’t delay, he was about to rush back, but he encountered the mayor who was inspecting, because Dong Chenghu’s previous purchase of mountains really impressed the mayor, so he put Dong Chenghu remembered it.

    Seeing Dong Chenghu, the mayor came to greet him kindly, "Brother Dong is buying cloth!"

    Dong Chenghu almost twisted his feet in surprise when he saw that it was the mayor. He felt flattered when he heard the mayor calling his name, he touched his head and smiled honestly: "I have seen Lord Mayor. , do you also buy cloth?"

    The mayor smiled and shook his head, pulling Dong Chenghu to the side of the road. He said in a low voice, "Brother Dong, it seems that many people have bought fields and resettled houses near your mountain forest in the past two years."

    Seeing that Dong Chenghu's expression became a little wary, the mayor was amused, and he especially slowed down: "Don't be nervous, I just want to know how many households live on the hillside near you now. People? You also know that in the past, your hunters in the deep mountains just made a record, and no one would go to buy land to apply for a title deed, so I don't know if those people still live in the original place.

    I will not hide from you, the world is not peaceful now, those remote villages or inaccessible mountains and forests that people despised in the past have become sweet pastries, and now many people have come to me to inquire about us Does Qingping Mountain have forests suitable for living? Some people want to buy it.

    I naturally dare not recommend the old forest in the deep mountains, and there are villages all around the mountains and forests, so it is not suitable for business, so I want to know the situation in the mountains from you. "

    When Dong Chenghu heard that someone was thinking about their land, he just thought it was incredible, and it was absurd. However, Dong Chenghu didn't want their peaceful life to be disturbed, so he paid special attention when answering the mayor.

      not tall.

    Because our ancestors have lived in it for generations and have dealt with wild animals since childhood, we can walk freely in the deep mountains.

    If you ask me about the deep mountains, I can only tell you that we had to buy the mountains for all the borrowed money in the beginning, because we were afraid of being attacked by wild animals. After buying the mountains, we can enclose them, and it will be safer anyway. Tell you , My mother-in-law and I saw tigers and black bears fighting in the deep mountains. Fortunately, we escaped fast, and they fought fiercely, so we narrowly escaped. "

    The mayor listened carefully to Dong Chenghu's words, and when he heard that there were tigers and black bears in the deep mountains, his brows furrowed deeply. He originally wanted to take this opportunity to recommend to those nobles Some good plots, so it seems to be well thought out.

    "Go on."

    Dong Chenghu continued to think about it, and said as if he suddenly remembered: "Also, there are wild boars and wolves in the deep mountains, but the wild boars are nothing, a head of three or four hundred pounds, rough skin and thick flesh, strong and powerful. It is infinite, and if you are arched, you will be disabled, but the wild boar is easy to deal with. We have experience and often hit the wild boar.

      wolves. That's about it, you want me to say more details. "

    The mayor nodded to show that he understood, getting this information was already a big gain for him.

    When Dong Chenghu left the town, he was still wondering if he had said anything he should not have said when he just answered the mayor. But he didn't know that because of his words, the mayor stopped recommending for those nobles.

    At that time, if someone wants to buy land, let the other party choose it by themselves.

    Back to Caozi Village and returned the donkey cart, Dong Chenghu also brought back a basket of things from Gu's house, plus the cloth he bought, this is more than what he had when he came.

    It was midnight when he returned to Cuizhu Mountain.

    Although it is February, it has not really warmed up yet. The mountains in the middle of the night are silent. Like scraping with a knife.

    Cuixi heard the bell ringing at home and guessed that the master was back, so she quickly put on a big coat and went to open the door for Dong Chenghu against the cold wind.

      That's it, take the cloth to the room, wait for the water show to arrange, and Cuixi is not needed yet.

    Cui Xi didn't refuse, and quickly went back to the room. It was cold today, she couldn't let herself get sick, or she couldn't get close to taking care of the wife and the eldest young master.

    Dong Chenghu packed his things and hurriedly went to the bathroom to take a hot shower, changed into new clothes, and then crept into the bed. The warmth of the blanket made him so comfortable that his eyes narrowed.

    Although his movements were light, he still woke Gu Shuixiu.
