Dressed as a family of cannon fodder, the villain brother is busy opening up wasteland

The snow is still falling, and the snowflakes in the sky are flying everywhere, falling on the ground and dotting the earth.

At the foot of the mountain, the teenagers found thick sticks and buried them in the soil, and built a simple straw shed. A bonfire was burning inside. A group of teenagers sat on the ground around the bonfire, talking, laughing, and playing in a lively manner.

"My mother knew we were going out to play, so she specially killed two chickens and cleaned them." Someone took out two cleaned chickens from the basket, dangling happily.

Another boy poured the potatoes in his basket on the ground, picked them up, and threw them into the bonfire. Potatoes are now the most indispensable thing in every household.

Some young people brought fish or duck, some brought two pieces of meat, and some brought ribs.

Datou also brought something, but it was not that big. It was just a small baggage, and when he opened it, he found some bottles and cans.

When other people saw the bottles, their eyes lit up.

The Seventh Prince was stunned for a moment.

In terms of value, what Big Headband wears is far inferior to others, but no one said anything, and instead looked at it happily.

"With these, today's picnic is the right time." Tieniu skillfully took away the bottles and started working.

"My dad set a trap on the mountain a few days ago. I'm going to see if anyone has fallen into the trap." Li Erhu stood up, patted the dirt on his body, and started to go up the mountain with the rope on his shoulders.

Two people saw this and went with him, and the three teenagers ran up the mountain quickly.

A group of people had a clear division of labor, and soon the chickens, ducks and fish they brought were roasted on the bonfire, with potatoes buried in the charcoal ashes.

The aroma comes out slowly.

After a while, Li Erhu and three others came back, carrying a rabbit and two pheasants in their hands.

"It's true." Li Erhu chuckled, pulled out a dagger from his shoe and ran away to deal with the rabbit. The water was boiled by melting snow. After cleaning it, he brought it back to Tieniu.

He cooks.

After finishing their work, the teenagers finally sat down to warm themselves by the fire and chat.

"Everyone is here today. I have something to tell you." Li Erhu suddenly spoke, attracting everyone's attention.

More than a dozen of them grew up in Gutong Village. Even though there were frictions when they were young, their relationship has become better and better since the Wen family twisted Gutong Village into one in recent years.

Li Erhu used to be a gangster in the village. He often bullied others because of his tallness. Even Datou was bullied by him.

But now, everything is different.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Li Erhu suddenly felt a little sore in his nose, but he still endured it and said: "I have agreed with my father and my mother that after the Chinese New Year, I will go to the north to join the army and find Brother Wenfa."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was surprised, including Datou and others.

"Your mother agreed?" Datou asked.

He remembered that Erhu Niang loved Erhu the most. She would hold it in her mouth for fear of melting and hold it in her hand for fear of falling. Even at such a big age, she was still her darling and was even more favored than his brother.

The reason why he was surprised was that Erhu Niang would actually agree to Li Erhu joining the army or going so far to the north.

Li Erhu smiled, and while using a stick to pull the potatoes from the ashes of the campfire to prevent them from burning, he explained: "I agreed. I didn't agree at first, but I couldn't stand my hard work, and I told her Now, I’m here to earn a future. If I stay in the village, I’ll be like this for the rest of my life. I don’t want to be like my father and spend my whole life holding a butcher’s knife.”

The teenagers were silent.

They have never thought about what they will do in the future. They always feel that it is their destiny to grow up in Gutong Village and continue everything here.

But Li Erhu's words made them fall into deep thought again.

Of course, there are also people who want stability.

"But isn't this good? Now life in our village is much better than life in other places. My mother said that if the family saves for a few years, they can renovate the house again. When I grow up, , find me a wife and live a peaceful life," one of them said.

Li Erhu glanced at him: "That's your idea. I just want to go out and have a try."

The Seventh Prince, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke: "It's hard to join the army, and you may lose your life if you're not careful."

Li Erhu paused, and then said: "I know, but there is a saying that wealth can be found in danger."

In fact, no one knew that as early as a few years ago, the Northern Territory sent people to remove alcohol from Gutong Village. At that time, Li Erhu saw the soldiers on horseback and had already had the idea of ​​becoming a soldier.

Later, the village became better, and every household's life became better. It became Wenyao's fiefdom, and the situation in the north was much better than before. The imperial court stopped recruiting troops, so he never had a chance.

I have learned martial arts from Xuanfeng and Wang Zhao for several years, and now I don't say how powerful I am, but I know basic self-protection and moves.

That day, he heard Aunt Wen talking to his mother. He knew that Brother Wenfa was doing well in the north, so he started to think about it.

After persisting for half a month, I finally couldn't help but talk to my family.

At first, Erhu Niang and Li San disagreed, but Li Erhu insisted. The couple was reluctant to let go, so they had no choice but to agree.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little tense, Li Erhu asked in a haha, "What about you? What do you plan to do in the future?"

Boys, look at me and I'll look at you.

"I want to buy a few more acres of land and learn to grow crops from Uncle Wen."

The other person's face turned slightly red: "My husband said that I am quite talented. I plan to study hard and work hard to gain fame. Even if I fail to pass the exam in the future, I will have more choices by reading more books."

"Hey, I just want to raise ducks well."

"I also want to study hard and obtain honors and repay the imperial court in the future."

This impassioned sentence made the teenagers laugh. Li Erhu looked at Tieniu and asked: "Tieniu, what about you?"

Tieniu waved the stick in his hand: "Me, I want to be a general."

All the young men burst into laughter: "Hahahahaha... you are the only one who still wants to be a general."

Tieniu made a sound and said: "Originally I didn't plan to say anything if Erhu didn't say it, but he said it, so I'm not afraid to tell you. My mother also agreed and let me join the army after the Chinese New Year. It's just that I was going to ask Mr. Meng before, but since Erhu said he was going to the north to find Brother Wenfa, then I will go to the north too. "

When Li Erhu heard this, he immediately put his arm around his shoulders: "Okay, let's go together then."

Everyone burst into laughter. Li Erhu hugged Tieniu and looked at Datou: "Datou, what about you? What do you want to do in the future?"

Hearing this, Tieniu couldn't help but poke him with his arm: "What nonsense are you talking about? Datou is now the little Marquis. Of course he will be the Marquis when he grows up."
