the farmer's old attack

Chapter 2

In the next two days, Tang Qing took a good rest at home. He was very tired these days. I lay there for two whole days before I finally regained my composure.

On this day Tang Qing was standing in his courtyard looking up at Dazhou Mountain. This Dazhou Mountain is continuous and towering. If it were placed in later generations, it would be another tourist attraction. It's a pity that it was worthless in ancient times. He heard that there were a lot of wild things in the mountains. To be honest, he was a little tempted. There happened to be several guns in the space, and he wanted to try them out.

But this will all have to wait until taxes are paid. Recently, he has been busy going to town or city to exchange some money. Tang Qing stood in the yard and looked at his three thatched houses with mixed feelings. This house was originally built hastily, so it was not strong, and it felt like it would be blown down if the wind was a little stronger. Tang Qing felt that it was necessary to change his house, and he would find ways to renovate it after paying the tax.

Another headache for Tang Qing is the official match. The official match notification has been issued a long time ago, and the wedding will be completed when the autumn harvest is completely free. But Tang Qing was not prepared for anything yet. He didn't know how to prepare. He had never been married in his two lives, so it was strange that he knew how to do it. Thinking of this, Tang Qing had a headache. Forget it, he might as well go to the village and ask a more reliable aunt to help him take care of it.

Just as I was thinking about going to the village, a burst of children's laughter came from the fields. When Tang Qing heard the news, he saw a group of five or six-year-old children walking toward him playfully. The leader is the village chief's son, Zhou Hao.

"Is it brother Tang Qing?" Zhou Hao asked quickly when he saw Tang Qing.

"Exactly."

"Brother Tang Qing, my grandfather asked me to tell you that he went to the village to carry grain, and the official came to collect it."

"Okay, thank your grandpa for me." Tang Qing said as he walked out of the house He took out a basket of wild strawberries, which are abundant in the mountains. However, the elders in the village did not allow the children to play in the mountains, so these children could only look at the mountains and drool.

Tang Qing also saw it accidentally. He randomly threw two strawberries into the space and unexpectedly one grew. He couldn't finish all these wild strawberries. When I saw these children, I wanted to satisfy their craving.

When the children saw the wild strawberries in Tang Qing's hand, their eyes lit up and they swallowed secretly. Zhoujia Village is remote, it can be said that it is deep in the mountains. Normally, you have to walk for a long time to go to town, let alone eat something delicious. Although there are many wild strawberries, most of them are in the mountains. People in the village are not allowed to enter the mountains, so naturally they cannot be eaten. So when I saw Tang Qing taking out so much, my eyes widened. I wanted to grab the basket and eat it all, but I didn't dare to move without Tang Qing's order.

Tang Qing looked at the performance of the children, smiled helplessly, and handed the basket to one of the children: "Please give out the points, don't grab it, everyone can have it."

After Tang Qing finished speaking, there was a burst of cheers Then they began to divide wild strawberries everywhere. After the distribution, I didn't forget to thank Tang Qing. Then he left happily and playfully.

After the children left, Tang Qing went to the cellar. All the taxable grains had been prepared, but 200 kilograms of potatoes were packed into several sacks. Unexpectedly, a voice came from outside the door at this time, "Is Mr. Qing at home?"

Hearing someone calling him, Tang Qing responded immediately. When he left the house, he saw Zhou Xiaoer's father standing outside the door, one of the children just now. Dad.

"Uncle Dashan, is there anything urgent?"

"It's okay, it's okay. I just saw the boy carrying a bag of wild strawberries. He said he got it from you. I heard you haven't paid the tax yet. I'll come over and see if you have any. What uncle can help?" Zhou Dashan looked enthusiastic.

Tang Qing understood it as soon as he heard it. People in this mountain are very particular about interpersonal relationships. Although Tang Qing usually doesn't have any friendship with them, they don't take your things for nothing. Although this wild strawberry is not a rare thing, it grows in the mountains and has to be picked in the mountains. There are many wolves and ferocious beasts in the mountains, and you risk your life to pick them. How can you get them for nothing?

"Thank you so much, Uncle Dashan. I'm worried about how to get these potatoes." Tang Qing did not show politeness to Zhou Dashan and directly welcomed him in. When he first came here, he lacked the favors. How could he extrapolate the favors that came to him?

Tang Qing and Zhou Dashan carried the grain to the village. They saw about a dozen officials counting the grains. One official happened to have finished counting a household, and Tang Qing stepped forward with a look. The official looked at Tang Qing with satisfaction and then lowered his head and went back to work. After counting, the officials behind immediately came to load the grain on the oxcart. The scene was very spectacular. This time almost half of the village came out to pay taxes.

Tang Qing suddenly felt someone staring at him from behind. When he turned around, he saw a boy staring at him fiercely. When he saw him, he snorted slightly and turned away. Tang Qing was also a little helpless. It seemed like he hadn't provoked him before, right?

After searching the memories in his mind, he suddenly realized that this was his future brother-in-law! Tang Qing's fiancé is named Zhou Qing. There are seven members in the family. Above Zhou Qing, there are two sisters, both of whom married into neighboring villages.

Zhou Qing is the third child, but he is the eldest brother. He was born as a brother and was not liked by the elders in the family, but fortunately his parents were sensible. But there are three kinds of unfilial piety, the worst is not having an heir. This guy is not a serious heir after all.

Later, Zhou Qingniang and Zhou Qing added two more brothers, and she breathed a sigh of relief. But after all, it was still a family that was not liked by the elders, so when the family was divided, not many things were divided. Nowadays, a family of five lives in the north of the village, and their life is very tight.

The person who just glared at Tang Qing was Zhou Qing's younger brother Zhou Shan. Tang Qing was a little confused. It seemed that he had never offended him! This thought also passed by in a flash. It was probably because the children were having trouble at home, and Tang Qing was not yet relieved.

After paying the tax, Tang Qing had to get busy with the wedding arrangements! Although marrying a brother does not require a big deal, it is the first time in his life to get married. No matter what others think, he has to do it well. After all, marriage is a big event, and he doesn't want to wrong himself. .

But there are only a few copper coins left in this original body, and it is definitely not possible to organize a decent wedding. Tang Qing thought for a while and took out a crossbow from the space. They say that you can rely on the mountain to eat the mountain, and you can rely on the water to eat the water. Now I also eat the mountain.

After making up his mind, Tang Qing packed up his clothes and tied the loose parts with ropes to ensure that they would not be scratched by the branches in the mountains. Then he took the crossbow into the mountain.

Tang Qing walked all the way, but he didn't catch any prey, but his clothes were wet all over. The mountains were thick with trees and grass, and the dew had not yet dispersed. In addition, there were not many people entering the mountain and there were no roads to walk on. Tang Qing walked on the grass, some of which were taller than people. Afraid of the many snakes and ants in the grass, I took some realgar from the space and sprinkled it on my legs and on my body.

The further we walked, the harder it became, but at least we heard a few pheasants crow. "Kick-kick." Tang Qing stepped on a dead branch and startled a pheasant nearby. I saw the pheasant flapping its wings and running away in panic. Tang Qing quickly took out his crossbow and shot two of them, but missed. However, the pheasant fell into the grass and disappeared.

"Fuck." Tang Qing, who had never used foul language, couldn't help but curse. From early in the morning until now, I haven't said anything. I finally saw a pheasant and couldn't shoot it, and my mind was on fire. He had read novels on the Internet before, and none of the protagonists in them made a lot of money just by going to the mountains, but here he didn't even have any money. Fortunately, he still had space, and Tang Qing felt a lot more relieved when he thought about it.

Seeing that it was getting late, Tang Qing took out a few chickens from the space and hugged two rabbits. Everyone in Zhoujia Village knew that he had no money when he came here. If he suddenly became rich, he would definitely get into trouble. Fortunately, this mountain gave him the best cover.

Tang Qing carried the "prey" down the mountain openly, and when he returned, he still took the road with more people. The villagers were a little jealous when they saw Tang Qing carrying so many prey, and they wanted to rush into the mountains to catch pheasants immediately. But seeing Tang Qing's embarrassment, he still became more rational. If you want to eat well, you have to fight for it. Thinking about your wife, children, and children at home, you finally gave up on this idea.

"Boy Qing, have you gone into the mountains?" The people in the village saw Tang Qing and said hello,

"Yes, there is nothing but potatoes in this house. I don't want to find a way to improve my life."

Everyone in the village knew Tang Qing's situation, he instantly looked at Tang Qing with a hint of sympathy. "Although this mountain is nice, there are a lot of raptors. If you are not careful, you will lose your life. In the future, you must not enter too often. Even if you enter the mountain, you must be very careful." At this time, someone said.

Tang Qing recognized this person, Uncle Liu from the village. He came in from another village. Hearing that there were too many brothers in the family, he really couldn't find a wife, so he asked his sons to go out and barge in. It happened that Mrs. Zhou from this village had only one child in her family, and her family didn't want her to get married again. She happened to hear that someone was trying to interfere in the marriage, so they hit it off and became in-laws. Although Uncle Liu is a stern person, he is actually a warm-hearted person.

"Okay, Uncle Liu." Tang Qing also knew that Uncle Liu reminded him sincerely.

Amid the discussions among the villagers, Tang Qing walked back with the prey. When passing by a small forest, I saw a group of children digging wild vegetables. There are still wild vegetables in the past two days, but when the weather gets cold for a while, there will be nothing to dig. Now dig more wild vegetables and dry them, so that you can have something to chew on in the winter. In winter, apart from cabbage, there are no other green vegetables.

Tang Qing walked by with a bunch of prey, attracting cheers from a group of children.

"Wow, there are pheasants and rabbits."

"The pheasant feathers are so beautiful."

"Look, the rabbit is still alive."

"Hey, it's true."

Listening to the children's cheers, Tang Qing couldn't help but smile. Just a few prey, making it look like a celebrity. Although he was laughing, Tang Qing still noticed that Zhou Shan, who had glared at him that day, was also there, but this boy didn't even look at his future brother-in-law.

"Zhou Shan, come here." Tang Qing looked at Zhou Shan who was squatting on the ground and trying to dig wild vegetables and shouted.
