Porridge and side dishes [farming]

When I woke up in the morning, it was almost noon.

The servants woke up early to feed the animals and cook. They were frightened by the wolves in the yard, fearing that the little ancestor would be unhappy and would grab someone and stuff his teeth.

Li Ji and Er Gouzi are familiar with it and have friendship with it, but the servants don't!

Waking up in the morning with a sore back.Putting on his clothes and walking out the door, he saw that the servants were walking side by side, but the wolf was sitting in the middle of the courtyard. He saw Li Ji standing up and jumping forward a few times, so as not to hide his joy.

Li Ji reached out and patted its head: "You are hungry, there should be stewed meat, let's eat together."

But the wolf was not in a hurry, put his nose against the back of Li Ji's hand, stuck out his tongue to lick it, then turned his head and walked towards the gate.

Hesitantly, the giant tent was buckled outside, and the wolf couldn't get away at all.That's why he obediently stayed in the yard overnight, only waiting for Li Ji to wake up, and then asked Li Ji to help open the door.

Li Ji saw what he meant and walked over to help it open the door.The wolf went out of the yard, turned around and gave Li Ji two hands, and disappeared in a few jumps.in the woods.

It snowed last night.Because after the fire is extinguished and there is no smoke, the windows on the top of the tent will be closed.So although I heard the wind last night, I didn't know it was snowing yet.

There have been two snowfalls before, but they were not heavy. Last night, the snow on the ground was enough to reach the knees.Li Ji lowered his head and grabbed a handful of snow, watching the snow melt in his hand.

There was a lot of wind last night, but there were many trees in the mountain, and the wind was blocked.Even in the cold winter, at most you can feel the breeze.

So the snow is soft.In this case, even in the coming year, even if the snow falls on no one's head, no one can walk on it.That's why it is said that after the heavy snow, the communication between them will be cut off.

Li Ji said: "Let's go to the master's place to have a look later. If we don't go again, if it snows again, we won't be able to go."

"I can." Er Gouzi said, "No matter how high the snow piles are, I can get over it."

The trees are dense, and with Er Gouzi's ability, he can pass over the trees.

Li Jidao: "I mean we go there together. When the snow is heavy, how can we go there together? That's our father, of course it's best to go together."

Er Gouzi has great skills, but Li Ji doesn't have such great skills.

Pick out a few thick leathers from home and take them to the magistrate.Li Ji still remembered that the county magistrate was afraid of the cold, so when he first came here he suffered a lot for being unaccustomed to the climate.Since it is a family, Li Ji naturally feels sorry for the only elder relative, and thinks about all good things.

Correspondingly, the county magistrate always thinks about him and Er Gouzi.

It's cold outside, Songsong and Taotao are not willing to go out anymore.Not even out of the house.If it is normal on the mountain, at this time, basically stay in the tree hole to reduce activities and hibernate. Now I am with Li Ji and Er Gouzi. I can light a fire to keep warm, and I have the most food, two pine trees Also happy to run wild freely in the giant tent.

The snow was a little deep, Er Gouzi had no problem walking over it, but Li Ji had a hard time walking over it.Many times, Er Gouzi turned his head and reached out to hold Li Ji. Even so, Li Ji was already out of breath after halfway through the journey.

The two of them were wrapped tightly, so even if they walked slowly, they wouldn't be too cold.Li Ji also sweated a lot, so he didn't dare to take it off easily for fear of freezing.The exhaled breath made the eyelashes and hat white, which looked a little ridiculous.

"This mountain is different from the bottom of the mountain. Listening to the wind on this day, if there is no snow at the bottom of the mountain, it is easy to step on it. No matter how bad it is, some places will be blown away, and it is easy to clean. In this mountain, the snow They are all about the same depth, and it is easy to collect and store water, but it is very troublesome to clear the way to leave.”

"No one walks much at this time. There is no need for roads." Er Gouzi walked ahead, letting Li Ji step on his footprints, which saved a lot of energy.

"That's right. By the way, how did you live in winter? By the way, I remember the first time I saw you, you didn't even have any clothes. How did you live in winter?"

"In the cave. I will prepare a lot of durable fruits in advance to eat. I can catch prey in winter, but there is less meat. In the cave, move less, sleep more, cover the skin, and it will pass."

With a few words, Li Ji could still hear the sadness in bringing the long and cold winter to an understatement.No matter how powerful Er Gouzi is, he can't fight the severe weather.The prey hide in winter.When hunting in the mountains, most of them encounter hungry beasts.

Coupled with the threat of cold, the danger of winter will increase many times.

"Then what if you are really hungry?" Li Ji asked.

Er Gouzi pointed to the tree above his head: "There are a lot of squirrel nests, and in each of my nests, they won't starve to death, and I won't starve to death either."

That's why Er Gouzi was so familiar with Songsong and Taotao when he found Songsong and Taotao.

Every squirrel will prepare a lot of food in winter, but often these foods will not be eaten until winter.So Er Gouzi took some away, and it didn't affect their survival.

But neither Li Ji nor Er Gouzi knew about this.I just feel that if I take a little less and the pine tree eats a little less, I can all survive.Life in the mountains can be difficult if you are not prepared.Although it is immoral to steal little squirrels to eat, it is better than starving to death.

Such a road took a full two hours.I left at noon, and it was already afternoon when I waited.

Winter days are short.By the time we got to the camp, it was already getting dark.

There were two calls from outside the camp, and someone came out to respond.

After entering the camp, I saw that the snow in the camp had been cleared.Several big pots were boiling snow, and people kept coming back from picking up snow outside the base and pouring it into the pots.And the melted snow water was weighed out in time and put into wooden barrels and put away.

The water tanks could not be brought up, but there were quite a few larger wooden barrels.They are all full, enough for the people in the base to use them for a long time.You can even take a luxurious bath.

After going up the mountain, I first used the wood on the mountain to polish and build three bathtubs.Usually can be used as a water tank to store water.If you want to take a bath, you can boil the water by yourself and take turns.

Some men are not so delicate and feel that it is easy to get cold when taking a bath in winter, but they don't. Most of the people who need to take a bath are older girls and younger daughters-in-law.In the base, there are so many girls and few girls, and there are a lot of bachelors. Where can girls boil water by themselves?When I wanted to take a bath, I raised my mouth, and a large number of young men rushed over to help boil the water.

Li Ji and Er Gouzi looked at it for a while, then went directly into the tent of the magistrate.

At this time, the county magistrate had just heard that the two sons had arrived. He was writing something, but now he put down his pen and asked the servant to wash his hands with hot water.

When I was at the foot of the mountain, the county magistrate was used to washing his hands after writing. This has been developed for a long time.After going up the mountain, water is precious, no matter how special the county magistrate is, there is no reason to waste water.Now it is snowing heavily.When there is plenty of water, this habit will be cultivated again.

The servant also thoughtfully put some dried flower petals in the water, lifted his nose and smelled the fragrance, which was quite melodious.

The two entered the room, bringing in cold wind.The county magistrate wiped them off and smiled at them: "Here we come."

The two put the food boxes and burdens they brought on the table.

"I was slaughtering a pig yesterday, and I made braised pork and pork knuckle in sauce. I walked a little slower on the road, and it should be cold now. Now take it to warm it up, and it will be the same after eating." Li Ji took off his hat, There is a little white smoke in the wet hair, which is quite funny to look at.Take off all the coats, the tent is warm inside, and it will be too hot if you wear too much.

The servant handed over the handkerchief to dry.Should the two be seated? The servants took the food boxes and went to the kitchen to heat up the dishes.

"Wake up and go out to see the snow is quite thick, so I thought about coming here again. If the snow falls heavily in the future, Er Gouzi will not delay, and I will not be able to come. So while I can still come, hurry up Come over here. If you have anything to say, say a few more words. We will meet again in the future, I am afraid we will have to wait until the snow melts."

Thinking about it this way, the magistrate felt a little sad in his heart.Facing Li Ji, the county magistrate liked her from the bottom of his heart. He knew she was with Er Gouzi at first, and rejected her for a while.Now that he has completely accepted it, the father-in-law looks more and more pleasing to his son-in-law.

"It's not that I can't see you anymore. You are reluctant to say that. Come and taste the tea. This is the snow on the pine trees that I ordered someone to collect when the first snow fell. The tea made has some pine needles. Drinking it will not taste good."

The servant served tea, and Li Ji was tired from walking, so he took a sip of tea.Unexpectedly, the taste of this tea was really good, Li Ji liked it, so he drank two more sips.

Li Ji is a common man who doesn't know what tea tasting is. In the concept, it means the difference between good, good and especially good.

"Good tea."

"If you like it, it's good to bring a jar of water back. When we were in the capital, it was fashionable to drink Suihan Sanyou when it just snowed. I wanted to give you a taste, but unfortunately there is no condition on this mountain." I have time to prepare in the coming year, and I will give you more of those weird teas.” The county magistrate knows that Li Ji likes to drink tea, so he can think about Li Ji more about this kind of thing.

"Three Friends of Suihan?" Li Ji didn't know.

The magistrate of the county explained: "Bamboo leaves, pine needles and plum blossoms. Because these three kinds are resistant to cold, they will not decline in winter. Therefore, literati call them the three friends of Suihan. When winter is approaching, they like to prepare these three kinds. Going out and soaking together is a habit to welcome winter. To put it bluntly, it’s arty.”

This kind of elegance is not bad. In previous years, the county magistrate would drink it with the wind and taste it. It is not bad to drink it fresh.

Having said that, it really aroused Li Ji's interest.

"Then I really want to try it in the next year." After finishing the tea, a servant immediately continued to serve it.Li Ji looked at the tea soup and said, "It's also because you are here. Speaking of which, it would be a waste of good tea for me to drink. I don't understand anything, I just drink tea to relieve boredom."

"How many people in the world really understand tea? This tea is made for people to drink, and there is no such thing as spoiling it. As long as it is swallowed, it is worthy of this cup of tea."

After talking about the past two days, Li Ji told the county magistrate about the wolf's arrival.

This kind of thing sounds new, the magistrate was stunned when he heard it, and said with a smile: "It's also fate. I was able to find you in the mansion back then, and it's not difficult to find you in this mountain. After all, you can get along well with wolves. Life on the mountain will not be sad."

If the wolf can always be nearby, it can protect the two of them in disguise.If there are wolves, then unless they encounter wild boars or bears, the wolves will be the best bodyguards for the two, and they will not be afraid to walk sideways in the mountains.

"However, this wolf is also a dragon who never sees its head and tail. It doesn't see each other a few times a year. It's very close when we meet, and it's no different from the little tail at home. And it's especially edible."

Li Ji remembered the feeling of rubbing a wolf.If the wolf didn't leave, Li Ji would be happy to feed him meat every day and let him pet him.

"I'm a little worried about whether the wolf will run to this area. It would be bad if it ran this way and fell into the trap." The county magistrate said.

This was unexpected by Li Ji.Thinking about the traps outside the camp, it was really uncertain whether the wolves would come.

Li Ji frowned: "Is there any way to keep him from coming?"

Er Gouzi shook his head: "No, unless they are locked up."

But obviously, this method does not apply.The wolf is very wild, and it will only hold grudges if you put it in a circle.

This time, Li Ji began to worry.

The county magistrate quickly changed the subject: "Let's stay here at night. I just want to eat bird's nest recently. Let's eat it later after stewing it. It's a pity that I was busy preparing when I went up the mountain, so I didn't remove the curtain in the pool in the house. Also wasted."

The dishes are all hot, and someone over there has made a few dishes to match.Each dish is not too much, try to eat it all in one meal, even if you can't eat it, the servants will share it after serving it.

"At this time in the past years, there will be a greenhouse in the mansion to grow some fresh vegetables. This year, there is no condition, and next year we will make it bigger, and the people in this camp can eat some." , but have the ability and conditions, and always improve the quality of life.

"Er Gouzi and I grew some garlic and green onions in the house. We also planted some coriander. It's just sprouting now, so we should be able to eat a couple of bites."

The magistrate of the county said: "Now the long house is also growing on the balcony, most of which are seasoned with onion and garlic. There are few things that can be grown this winter, and it feels fresher to eat."

Eat a piece of elbow meat, the meat is very fragrant.In addition, it was made by the two sons, so the county magistrate can eat a few more bites.

The side dishes are basically pickled or dried vegetables.The taste is good, but it always makes people miss the taste of fresh vegetables.That's how people are, sometimes they don't feel anything, and when they don't, they are so greedy that they can't wait to eat.

Stir-fried diced pork with sour bamboo shoots is Li Ji's favorite, and he eats the most.Because it was relatively broken and difficult to hold, Er Gouzi put it into Li Ji's bowl with his own soup spoon.

Li Ji raised his eyes and secretly looked at the county magistrate, seeing that there was nothing wrong with the county magistrate's reluctance, so he was relieved.If the two of them eat by themselves, it's not considered rude.But eating with the magistrate, Li likes to pretend to carry it, because the magistrate eats so gracefully that Li Ji thinks talking is profanity.

The county magistrate saw the action of the two, and continued to eat without saying anything. Li Ji secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and did not tell Er Gouzi not to do this in the future.

After eating or staying.Someone was stewing potatoes on the fire, and a group of children clamored for the first to eat.Li Ji heard the sound outside, couldn't help but poke his head to look outside, and opened the curtain of the tent to look outside. A child was running and eating baked potatoes, and the lying potatoes made the child not listen. Angry, just refused to stop and share with the partners behind.

Seeing that the children like it, there are many stoves, so I bake more, but the potatoes take a long time to cook, and it takes some time to wait for them to be cooked and eat them in their mouths.

Li Ji watched for a while and swallowed.I want to eat, but I am too embarrassed to say so.Going back ten years, Li Ji Neng had the cheek to run out and grab him. Now that he's grown up, how can he pull that face?

In the past, Li Ji would roast and eat at home, but now watching the excitement and watching them eat, he felt very hungry.

Putting down the curtain, Li Ji smiled and said, "No matter where you are, the children are the happiest. It's good to hear the children making noise all over the yard at this time."

It can make children laugh and talk, which means eating, drinking and worry-free, safe and sound.Let the other people who were worried before ignite hope.

"I have the intention to gather them together and teach them something. It's just that few of them know how to read, and even fewer are willing to read. There are too many parents of children who think that studying is useless and a waste of time, but it seems that my efforts are in vain." Child is hope.Now that they are gathered in such a camp, they can have free time in winter.The county magistrate wanted to teach them, but it was difficult to implement, so he could only pass on catchy poems, which was somewhat atmospheric.

And even if it is taught, it is time-consuming and labor-intensive.The magistrate has other things to do, so it's impossible to focus on one thing.If there is no one to help him, the magistrate cannot teach alone.

"Then you can train one or two smart ones to teach first. After they have learned the basics, let them teach the other children when they have free time. Or there are some rewards. For example, if you can memorize a poem You can get a piece of candy, or something to eat next to it. Kids are gluttonous, brought up by poor parents, willing to do a lot of things for a snack.”

In order to make the chickens eat more worms, Li Ji used candies to coax some village children to help them go to the fields to catch worms and bring them to feed the chickens. snacks.

"There are not many candies, but there are still a lot of snacks. Let's just say. You can take the exam every once in a while. You can get the best grades when you sleep. You can reward clothes or new shoes. Seeing that they basically wear clothes I have a lot of fabric here, so it’s good to use it for them.” After listening to Li Ji’s suggestion, the county magistrate had a plan in mind.

Then he smiled and said, "How else can you say that you are a material for being an official? Didn't such a simple sentence help me solve a lot of trouble?"

The scientific examination is only a channel for becoming an official, not the only way.Like Li Ji, even if he is illiterate, he is smart and quick-witted, and can solve many things that ordinary people cannot solve.Such a person is more suitable to be an official than a nerd.

Li Ji didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You're still thinking about it."

Now that Xia Guo is almost gone, what kind of official will Li Ji be?

Er Gouzi raised his eyes and said, "He wants to stay with me and not go anywhere."

The magistrate smiled and said, "Knowing that you are facing him, I have become a snatcher."

After a burst of laughter, the county magistrate suddenly remembered: "I almost forgot. Xiao Ji, you told your nephew about the adoption before? They came here two days ago and were willing to adopt Dingxian's child. "

"Dingxian?" Li Ji still doesn't know about the letter given by the county magistrate.

"It's your grandnephew, Little Tudou. When I first met him, I felt destined. Hearing that his name is Li Jie, I named him Dingxian."

Doesn't Li Ji understand this? The magistrate just nodded after explaining.Thinking of Li Jin and his wife, they sighed and said, "Parents are always thinking of their children. Little Tudou's child has that talent, that is, by your side, you can make him better. If we look at Come, good talents can be buried."

"Not necessarily. Don't forget that I am also from a poor family. I am really a learner, and there are always opportunities to make progress."

The county grandpa had good talent when he was young, and he was one of the most important children in the clan.The magistrate of the county is also up to the mark, and he is nominated in the gold list for high school exploration.If it hadn't been for the fact that the clan was too greedy to annoy the magistrate, at this moment, the magistrate might have helped the clan to rise gradually, and it is possible to become a famous family of a generation.

The origin of everything comes from Li Yan when she was a senior.If they hadn't been so greedy back then, they would have been in control of the marriage of Dao Lian's magistrate, the following things would not have happened.

"Don't dislike me for talking too much. When I heard what you said at the beginning, I looked back and thought about it. In fact, you are absolutely unique in high school. The conditions are too special. When you were young, you were emphasized. Cultivated, with a good foundation. Later, because of the oppression of the clan, you were unwilling to work hard and wanted to get out. So you went back to study hard and strive to make progress. It can be said that you came out of adversity. This family of ordinary people , In fact, when you are born, you can learn more than the children of the poor. If you want to read a book, you may not have the money to buy it. If you go to the school, no one in ten families can afford the money. Are you special?"

The county magistrate hadn't thought about this level.Because of his experience of becoming an official in high school, after a long time, he felt that it is not difficult for a poor family to have a son.

Hearing what Li Ji said, the county magistrate recalled the time when he was imprisoned by the clan and studied hard.That really does not distinguish between day and night, if you are not crazy, you will not survive.

If it is said that the magistrate should do it again now, the magistrate can say with certainty that he cannot do it.

At that time, if he hadn't had this obsession with Li Yan and the resentment towards his clansmen, he couldn't have done it!At that time, the clansmen also wanted to train him, let him go further and stand higher, so as to bring more benefits to the family.

It can be said that the county magistrate at that time had the right time, place and people!If one of these conditions is missing, there is no him now.

"What you said is very reasonable."

Just like this taught the county magistrate a lesson, Li Ji was a little flustered after realizing it, and hurriedly said: "Actually, there are no absolutes. For example, now, children can meet a good teacher like you, which is their best opportunity. You This is what you want. If you want to be knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and you want books and books, ordinary academies can’t compare to ours. So maybe we can really train two champions.”

The county magistrate looked at Er Gouzi, and said half-jokingly: "Chang'an, why don't you discuss it with you, and lend me your Xiao Ji for a month or two."

The county magistrate was joking.Er Gouzi didn't joke with him.

Reaching out to hold Li Ji in his arms, he said seriously: "No."

"This is just kidding with you, so you won't be afraid of embarrassment." Li Ji pushed Er Gouzi away, and said: "Then find a time to hold a banquet. Since this little Tudou is going to be Er Gouzi's son , we always want to make it more beautiful, don't wrong the child."

The magistrate of the county said: "Chang'an is not in a hurry. Chang'an will not be in the base for a long time. He is my son. It's better not to spread the word. Even if it's a banquet, it's only as if I adopted him. Grandson. With Er Gouzi, just kowtow to recognize your father in private."

Originally, Er Gouzi didn't care about children.The child was recognized for the sake of the magistrate, so it's okay if only the magistrate came forward.

"It's just this seniority... how do we count it?" Li Ji lowered his voice.Little Tudou is his grand-nephew, and now he is the son of his wife. If this is a different generation, what will happen in the future?

The county magistrate glanced at him and said, "I really want to figure it out, you can call me brother. I have no objection."

Li Ji smiled awkwardly, and said: "That's up to everyone. It would be weird if Little Tudou called me daddy. From now on, I will call me grandpa and Er Gouzi's father, and Er Gouzi and I will both Teach your father, you can't mess it up."

It was getting dark outside as we spoke.The servants brought three cups of bird's nest, along with a plate of baked potatoes.There is also a small plate for dips.

Li Ji didn't understand, and blinked at the magistrate.The county magistrate said: "Look at you for a long time. The servants are the best at observing words and expressions. How can they not see that you want to eat? After eating for a while, you should go to bed early. Tomorrow morning, call Xiaotuo to come over to recognize your father, and you will go back Right. I'll send someone to pick you up after a while after the adoption date is set."

At that time, I had no idea how deep the snow was.Li Ji thought about how hard it was when he came here, so he made a mental preparation for himself.At that time, I could only cover it tightly as much as possible, and it would definitely take a lot of effort to go this way.

This is the third time Li Ji eats bird's nest.In fact, the county magistrate also sent some to the two of them and put them in the warehouse.

The point is that this thing is too precious, Li Ji always felt that it would be a waste to eat it casually.I always want to find a particularly good day, and I will not live up to the treasures if I eat it.

So every time the magistrate thought of it, he stewed it for a family of three to eat together.

In fact, this is also a snack. If you like it, you will eat it.It's rare, but it doesn't mean you have to make a ceremony to eat it.

Potatoes are washed and then baked on the stove.It looks like it should be turned by someone at any time, it is baked very evenly, and there are very few places where it is burnt.

Li Ji peeled one, dipped it in the dipping sauce and took a bite. The inclination of the potato and the taste of the dipping sauce merged together, and the taste buds on the tip of the tongue became active.

Li Ji took a closer look at the dipping ingredients, it was salt and pepper, with some spices added.The taste is full of freshness.

"How are these ingredients made? I never thought potatoes could be eaten like this." Li Ji had eaten baked potatoes sprinkled with a little salt, but he had never tried this.Originally eating baked potatoes is a convenient snack, who can think so much.

"If you like it, bring some back. This is from the kitchen. Everyone in the camp likes to eat baked potatoes. I like to eat and work hard, so I researched this dipping sauce. I have nothing to do in winter. , and there are few ingredients. They are bored and study more food, which is also a blessing for the people in the camp.”

Everyone has different hobbies.There are also different directions of effort.It's like some people love books like their lives, while others are obsessed with calligraphy and painting.Being so obsessed with one thing is also a great pursuit.

Li Ji admired him a little when he thought about his little life of eating and waiting to die.

"Then I won't be polite. It's also enjoyable to eat potatoes around the fire in winter. You should try it too." Li Ji sent the peeled potatoes to the magistrate.

The magistrate was slightly stunned, looking at the potatoes that Li Ji handed over.

Only then did Li Ji realize what he had done.Who's on the opposite side?Lord of the county!A meal requires more than a dozen servants to serve.Li Ji just casually handed him a peeled baked potato!

Li Jigang wanted to withdraw his hand, but with a light touch, the magistrate had already taken the potato.Sprinkle some dipping sauce on the potatoes with a small spoon and take a bite: "It tastes really good."

Er Gouzi held the potato he had just bitten into, feeling that it was very unpleasant to eat.

Li Ji was quite embarrassed, and then he was busy peeling another one for the magistrate.It was almost over when he saw a bitten potato poked directly on his lips.

Li Ji looked back at Er Gouzi, Er Gouzi directly took the potato that Li Ji was about to peel and play with, and opened his mouth to take a bite.

"tasty."

Li Ji held Er Gouzi's potatoes in his hand, and quickly realized that he was jealous.

Li Ji opened his mouth to remind him that this is his own father, Li Ji's father-in-law.But in response, he chose to shut up.

With a person who can be jealous of a wolf, what can you expect him to understand?

Then the potato in the mouth of the magistrate is not the taste.

Just like this, they ate some snacks (?) with their own ghosts, and the two returned to the place where they lived last time.This time, the county magistrate specially arranged for the two of them to be guards.Anyone who comes is not allowed to disturb their rest.

Li Ji sat on the kang, touched the warm kang, and said with a low laugh: "Actually, thinking about it later, I have wronged you. This sister and son's are not what you want, and they are all stuffed to you. .”

"It doesn't matter to me, I don't care." Er Gouzi only said that Li Ji was afraid that the wall had ears, and his voice was very low.

Li Ji lay on the bed with his head up, and he didn't dare to say anything about the magistrate.

"Now I look back and think about meeting you now. It's like a dream. Two years ago, I thought that I, a poor man, would be poor for the rest of my life. If I didn't have the money to repair the house and marry a wife, if the house collapsed, I would be killed. It was crushed to death inside."

The greater the contrast between the past and the present, the more poignant it is to look back.All the changes started when I met Er Gouzi, and it is even said that everything is brought about by Er Gouzi little by little. ,

From the beginning of hunting to earn the first pot of gold, Dao later raised livestock and bought leather to earn silver.Later, he met the county magistrate and became the son of the mansion.Not to mention reaching the sky in one step, it is also going straight up, from the mud to the clouds.

Li Ji felt that he was so good and capable, God treated it so kindly and gave him such good things.

Er Gouzi said: "Then I am the same? Two years ago, I thought I would be eaten by other beasts like I was eating other beasts."

If Li Jishou hadn't taken Er Gouzi in, Er Gouzi might have been sent back to the mountain.On the mountain, no matter how capable people are, it is impossible to be lucky all the time.There will always be such a day.Er Gouzi will lose the ability to protect himself and become a meal for other beasts.

Both of them are the nobles who are destined by each other, whoever leaves each other will not have a good day today.

Li Ji raised his eyebrows with open hands.Sign for a hug.Er Gouzi walked up to him, stepped forward, and pressed on Li Ji's body.Li Ji hummed twice, and said with a smile: "We are both lucky stars, so we have to hold on tightly and don't let go."

The two closed their eyes, felt a little sleepy, and yawned: "Go to sleep, there is something else to do tomorrow. Then I can take it back. The snow is so deep this way, but I can bear some."

"If I'm tired, I'll carry you." Er Gouzi said.

"Don't make trouble. Can you take it when I'm so heavy?" Li Ji responded with squinted eyes.

"Not sinking. You forgot, I can carry a 100-jin wild boar down the mountain." Er Gouzi smiled. Li Ji said this sentence several times, Er Gouzi just thought it was very interesting, so he learned it like this down.

Li Ji opened his eyes.The muscles of Er Gouzi's body can be felt through the clothes that are stuck together: "That's not okay. I'm an old man, and I still have to carry you on your back? Go to sleep, go to bed early and wake up early."

Li Ji felt sleepy and didn't plan to chatter with Er Gouzi.The bed is already made.Li Ji was too lazy to move, so Er Gouzi reached out for Li Ji to take off his clothes one by one.

Early the next morning, Er Gouzi woke up before Li Ji woke up.When I woke up, the kang was still warm, and it was obvious that someone had lit the fire in the middle of the night.

Er Gouzi tucked the quilt for Li Ji, walked out the door and saw that someone was already busy in the yard.

Anyone who sees Er Gouzi greets Er Gouzi, but except for the people around the county magistrate, others don't know Er Gouzi's identity, they just know that he has a close relationship with the county magistrate, so they greet politely when they see him call.

Er Gouzi didn't understand the world, so he pretended he didn't see anyone who greeted him, and went straight to the county magistrate's tent.

At this time, the county magistrate had just gotten up and was being served to get dressed.The curtain was suddenly opened, and the county magistrate frowned and turned around to ask who it was, when he saw clearly that it was Er Gouzi.

"Chang'an? Woke up so early?"

"Sleep well and get up early." Er Gouzi directly repeated what Li Ji said last night.

"That's right. Let's do it. Come on, tell me, what can I do for you." The county magistrate is used to Er Gouzi's attitude towards him.This is the first time that Er Gouzi has come to the magistrate on his own initiative.No wonder the magistrate thought so.I feel that Er Gouzi came to talk to the county magistrate because of something.

Er Gouzi said: "I have nothing to say. It's just that Xiao Ji hasn't woken up yet, so I walked around and found you here."

"..." The magistrate of the county did not expect that Er Gouzi didn't even bother to find a reason.He ordered someone to prepare some refreshing fragrant tea, put on his clothes, and the county magistrate sat next to Er Gouzi, "If you don't want to say anything, let's go. We father and son haven't been alone much before. Since then, we've met each other. Not many chances."

At the beginning, I thought that if I found it, I would be able to be with my father and son, and the county magistrate would be able to watch Ergou marry a wife and have children and enjoy the family happiness.Nowadays, it is already a luxury to be able to say a few more words with two dogs, let alone meet more to cultivate father-son relationship.

When the tea was served, the servants also stepped down, so as not to disturb the relationship between father and son.

Er Gouzi sniffed the fragrance of the tea, picked up the teacup and refused to drink it, thinking in his heart that Li Ji would like to drink this tea.

"Just ask if you have any questions," said the county magistrate.

Even though they have not been together for 20 years, the county magistrate can also see that Er Gouzi has something on his mind.

Er Gouzi looked at the magistrate, and the words twirled around his lips before uttering: "You and mother, how do you live."

Unexpectedly, Er Gouzi suddenly mentioned Li Yan.The county magistrate had some changes in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, and said, "Miss your mother?"

Er Gouzi shook his head: "I just want to know how you live together."

Er Gouzi looked at the tea in the cup, as if he could see another person in his reflection.

"I grew up in the mountains. I don't know how to live an ordinary life, and I don't know how two people should be together. I... don't want to trouble Xiao Ji, but I don't know how to do it."

It was originally about experience.To be honest, when it comes to how husband and wife get along, the magistrate is really not qualified to teach two dogs.Because he spent far less time with Li Yan than Er Gouzi did with Li Ji.However, given the age and experience of the magistrate, it is easy to teach one or two dogs.

"Tell me."

Er Gouzi put the teacup on the table, lowered his head, and seemed a little guilty: "I don't like Xiao Ji talking to others, and being nice to others. Not only humans, but also wolves. Wolves always lick him, so I hate it." He. I also hate those who want to marry Xiao Ji. I don't know why, and I also know that Li Ji has his own habits. It's like I like hunting in the mountains. But I can't control myself. Xiao Ji said about me a few times, but he would not go deep. But I will be afraid. I am afraid that I will become more and more powerful, or Xiao Ji will hate me."

This kind of strong possessiveness is actually very troublesome for Er Gouzi.Er Gouzi has never been so persistent in wanting to be alone by his side, or even locked by his side.
