Li Quan was like a follower, following him all day long and unable to get rid of him. Li Kui was also helpless about this.

Speaking of their acquaintance, it is quite interesting.

More than a month ago, Li Kui hunted a wolf outside the village. People in Baizhang Village did not eat wolves, thinking that they were cannibals, and eating wolf meat would shorten one's lifespan. However, wolf skins are needed. A good winter wolf skin is worth ten

A few bucks is not a small sum of money. Li Kui didn't care, he peeled the skin, added seasonings, set up a fire and roasted it. By chance, the hungry Li Quan saw it. At that time, Li Quan didn't say anything, and just sat on Li Kui's bed obediently.

On the side, pitiful little eyes stared at him. When someone robbed him, Li Kui's fists were not good, but here came a big man who didn't speak and kept begging with his eyes. This made Li Kui sick. You bastard.

For such a big guy, he still pretends to be innocent to disgust people. Do you have some ulterior motives?

In desperation, Li Kui invited Li Quan for a barbecue. After one barbecue, Li Quan decided that Li Kui was a good person, and then followed Li Kui from day to night, unable to get rid of him.

Li Quan naturally became Li Kui's first and only friend in the village.

Li Quan has also become Li Kui's only channel to understand the world. Although Li Quan has some problems with his brain, it is precisely because of this that no one in the village will go behind his back. Even if he takes something along the way, as long as it is not money,

No one would trouble him. For example, if Li Kui asked Li Quan to go to the patriarch's house to get the imperial calendar, he could find some clues about this era through the year number. The imperial calendar is not only a lucky book, but more often has the right

This is an official book with a guiding role for farmers to plant. This is also the only book with written text in Baizhang Village, which is of great significance.

Such a sneaky understanding would naturally not be comprehensive. Li Kui also had some vague concepts about this era. It wasn't until one day when he took his prey to Mengshan Town that he had a complete understanding of this era.

At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the emperor was not Song Huizong, but Huizong Zhao Ji's elder brother Zhezong Zhao Xu.

It seemed that it had only been a few years since Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty ascended the throne, but there was still a question that troubled him. Is this the Water Margin? Or was it really the end of the Northern Song Dynasty?

Baizhang Village?

Li Kui said that he would never continue to live in this poor place. If you want to be prosperous, you can't stay at home, let alone the information in the mountain and the nest. The isolation of Baizhang Village is obvious, as if it was excluded from the prosperity of the Song Dynasty.

, there is not much tranquility in the paradise, but more adversity in the poor mountains and rivers. He can't be a farmer and hunter here for the rest of his life, can he?

This is why he watched the roof collapse but did not repair it at all.

After the New Year, he was ready to leave. But before leaving, he had to put an end to this initial stage of rebirth. Not in the village, but outside the village, over the opposite hill, there was a small temple. He

I haven’t been there for three or four months. Will he still be there?

While cooking, Mrs. Zhang picked a piece of bacon from the rafter with a forger, cut it into slices, and stewed it in a pot. The bacon was stewed with radish and cabbage, and the pot was made into a hodgepodge with a little bit of everything.

She is a sharp-tongued woman. Her husband died young and she has two children, so she cannot help but be cowardly.

Li Quan didn't care at all what impact the old patriarch's gathering of people would have on him. Anyway, as a fool, his mission was to live happily.

His attention was focused on the bubbling stew, and he used his almost instinctive eyes to protect the steaming pot of stew. While eating, he said with a silly smile: "It smells good, it smells so good!"

, the earth-shattering scene of eating made Mrs. Zhang very angry. Her family was already poor, and there was a big-bellied freeloader. How could she live her life like this?

The key is that there is no land at home for Li Quan to eat and work hard. If there is land, he will throw Li Quan into the ground after the meal. If he is told to plow the fields, he will plow the fields, and if he is told to fertilize, he will fertilize. If he wants to eat meat, he can

, they all have to work. But the Li family has no land, and it can’t be said that they don’t have any. They only have a small vegetable plot. If a fool like Li Quan goes to the vegetable plot, he may harm her beloved ones, and it will be wasted.

There was so much food but no benefit at all, which made Mrs. Zhang furious.

Fortunately, the Li Kui family ate at an astonishingly fast pace, mainly because there was only so much food, and when they met two big-bellied men, it was gone after just a few pulls.

After eating seven-half full and holding a straw in their mouths, Li Kui and Li Quan went out together and headed towards the big locust tree where the village held meetings.

The village attaches great importance to the training of young people, which is the case in clan society.

Even if Baizhang Village has a small family property, the old patriarch will save money and call on the whole village to invest resources in young people who are worthy of a gamble. If they become prosperous, the proceeds will be used to support the clan.

The people of Baizhang Village will definitely not be able to afford the expense of studying. But if you are sent to the army or to the public, and become a decent person who eats the royal food, you can also meet it if you tighten your belt and are lucky. For example, if you are sent to the army

Among them, for a big-headed soldier to be able to become the bodyguard of the generals is because of his ancestral merit, not to mention the unrealistic meritorious service on the battlefield and promotion to military attache. This is a fantasy. But with a military salary, there is something to look forward to every month.

A good living.

As for sending it to the official gate, it's much easier. Forget it from the state government, the county government has already burned high incense.

The old patriarch got through the relationship with the county government and secured a spot for the village's police officers.

The old patriarch is standing on the stone platform under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village, leaning on a jujube wood dove stick. He is nearly seventy years old, with a pale face. People in the mountains age quickly. Being able to live a long life is already a gift from God.

He was full of glory and announced his great plan to the whole village: "Young and old men of Baizhang Village, our children are blessed this year. When I attended the Li clan meeting, I had the honor to meet Li Dutou from the county.

I made friends and found out through the genealogy that they were actually brothers of the same generation."

"Alas -" How old is the seventy-year-old man in the county? Fifty or forty? This brother's attachment is too far-fetched.

Li Kui yawned and didn't take the old clan leader's words seriously. He was just forced by Zhang to attend the clan's gathering. Fortunately, women were not allowed to participate in the clan's important gatherings.

Noise on the side.

The old patriarch glanced around the audience and found that there was no response. He suddenly felt discouraged for no reason. No one showed enthusiastic responses. This made him feel angry that he was worried about his descendants and was not satisfied.

He kept shouting: "You are unworthy of your descendants, you are unworthy of your descendants!"

Especially when he laid his eyes on Li Quan and Li Kui, his heart suddenly became cold.

It's okay if others are not enthusiastic, even Li Quan...well, Li Quan is a fool, he didn't react normally. But what about Li Kui? Although this kid is a little irritable, he is not stupid, right?

But why isn’t this guy enthusiastic?

Catch! What a job!

Although his status is not high and he is not considered a person in front of the official, but when he goes to the countryside to do things, who can't earn a few benefits?

Li Kui was not sad. This made him helpless and aggrieved. He couldn't jump off the stone platform, hold Li Kui's ears and scream in front of his ears: "I'm so embarrassed to be friends with Mr. Dutou, it's not just for you, kid."

?Among the people in the village, Li Kui is the most outstanding in boxing and kicking skills. Isn’t this job of being a policeman just for Li Kui? Good guy, in the end, I am just being sentimental and enjoying myself for nothing. But the real owner doesn’t like to see him.

He looks extremely impatient. How can this be unreasonable!"

However, the old patriarch had to continue talking, because Mr. Dutou would not hire a young man with little experience as a police officer for no reason, and he also wanted to give him a certain dignity, and this dignity was that Mr. Dutou would communicate with the clerk.

The old man can't come up with the money as a gift for the relationship. It requires the efforts of the whole village.

"Through my hard work, Mr. Dutou agreed to recruit a quick arrester from our village, but we need to get money from everyone up and down. It's not much, only thirty guan. We tighten our belts, or the whole village goes to the mountains to hunt wild boars."

That’s almost it…”

"Third uncle! I can't even open the pot, how can I get such a large sum of money?"

"Yes! Third uncle, this is not a small amount of money. It is enough to buy a wife for your child. Wouldn't it be a pity if it was wasted!"

"Third uncle, although wild boars will come down the mountain in the cold winter months, it is very dangerous to catch them. If someone is hurt, the backbone of the family will collapse?"

…

When it comes to giving money and effort, it doesn't matter that the old patriarch has the most authority and seniority in the village. Everyone is living their own small lives, and the clan can't let others suffer without eating!

The old man was so angry that he was almost fuming. Fortunately, he was prepared for asking for money, otherwise he would have been angry and carried it away. But even so, the old man seemed a little mad and stood there.

Traces of trembling on the stage: "Short-sighted thing, don't you know how beneficial it is to have a policeman in the village? Don't you know how important it is to our Baizhang Village to have someone in the yamen?

Is that so? Every household in the village must pay. No one can be left behind. I will make a statement first. I will pay eight out of the thirty guan."

"Uncle, Baguan is too far away from my old nose, but it's not enough!"

With a whoosh, the old man dropped the dove stick in his hand from the stage and flew straight towards the uncle who was speaking. The old man was furious, could it be that these thirty sticks made it impossible for the old man and his family to get out?

Perhaps at this moment, the old man had a clear understanding——

Being a clan leader is tiring!

Being an ideal family patriarch is tiring!
