In early summer, everything flourishes.
The morning breeze is pleasant, and the colorful flowers have gradually withered. If you pay attention, you can see the remaining red in the fields.
By the small river in Xiaoxi Village, which is also the bend with the deepest water, Yunjing is sitting on a big stone by the river, fishing quietly with a bamboo fishing rod in his hand.
He made the fishing rod himself, and bent the fishhook himself with a sewing needle at home. He simply used stronger sewing thread for the fishing line. He also wanted to use a better fishing rod, but conditions were limited, so he made do with it.
Whether or not I can catch fish is secondary. The main thing is that I like the quiet feeling of fishing.
As a son of a farmer, Yunjing is not free enough to spend time fishing. Strictly speaking, he is herding cattle, and the cattle are grazing not far away.
There was a basket not far away from him, which contained pigweed that he had cut before. The basket was full. Only after cutting the basket of pigweed did he have time to fish.
Little Yundong, who is more than two years old, naturally follows him around. At the moment, he is sleeping soundly on the grass nearby, with mucus rising and falling in his nose.
Sitting quietly by the water, a kingfisher stood on Yunjing's shoulder and preened its feathers. He ignored it. He was used to this kind of thing. Just don't poop on him. He concentrated on staring at the float on the water for fear of
The float disappeared in a blink of an eye. Anyone who likes fishing has encountered this kind of "supernatural event"...
At a certain moment, the float sank, Yun Jing raised his hand, and he caught a crucian carp with a palm-long tail.
It was too small, so he didn't want it, so he took it off and threw it into the water again.
The stream in Xiaoxi Village is not big, and big fish are hard to find. To catch a big fish depends purely on luck. Yunjing has been fishing with the fishing rod in his hand for more than a year, and the largest fish he has ever caught is only one foot.
Just long.
The sun was getting higher, and small fish kept being caught by the clouds, but he didn't want them. It seemed that the air force would go back today.
He wasn't upset, he just enjoyed the process. In fact, he was very happy to be able to catch a small fish, even though he didn't ask for it.
When the sun made his skin hot, Yunjing began to pack his things and prepare to go home. He fished all morning, but failed to catch any fish. The biggest catch was a two-foot-long giant eel, plus a few fish in front of the house.
The first catch is enough for a meal.
There was a lack of oil and water in the house, and the small animals that were close to him had little meat. Yunjing was too embarrassed to deal with them. However, game eels were often served on his dining table in recent years.
After cleaning up, Yunjing kicked Yun Dong, who was still sleeping soundly, in the butt. When the other party woke up and looked at him, he said: "Stop sleeping, let's go home."
"Brother, hug me." Yundong sat up, stretched out his little arms and looked pitifully at Yun Jing.
Pulling him up, Yunjing said angrily: "You didn't notice that I was carrying a backpack. You are already so big. Hold a ball and walk by yourself. I will hold your hand."
Pouring his mouth, Yundong wanted to cry, but held it back because he was afraid of being beaten by his brother. He was close to and afraid of his brother. If he lost his temper and acted coquettishly in front of his parents, he would be coaxed, but here, his brother would either be spanked.
It hurts, or he will just look at you until he stops making trouble.
Even so, Yundong still likes to stick to his brother. He is still too young to understand the differences between his brother and others. He only feels that he feels particularly safe when he is with his brother, and there are many small animals to play with at any time.
Other people's brothers can't do it.
My brother is the best brother in the world...
"Brother, why don't you hug me and hug the ball? What is the ball?" Walking on the country road, Yundong raised his head and asked ignorantly.
"..."
Yunjing choked for a moment, and then said: "The ball is the hammer, why do you have so many problems?"
"Oh, the ball is a hammer, but what is a hammer?" Xiao Yundong nodded and agreed, and then asked again.
It's your sister. Yun Jing never said this...
The kids are so annoying.
Carrying baskets on their backs, holding Yundong in one hand, and carrying the fishing rod and basket in the other, they drove Dahei home.
When he was approaching the entrance of the village, Yunjing noticed that several villagers in the fields were pointing in the distance. Out of curiosity, he followed them and looked at them. He suddenly raised his eyebrows slightly and felt a little uneasy in his heart.
On the small road leading from Xiaoxi Village to the outside world, there were actually four or five people heading towards Xiaoxi Village.
They are not villagers from Xiaoxi Village, and their origins can be seen at a glance as being extraordinary!
The reason Yunjing could tell at a glance that they were extraordinary was because they were all riding horses, a high-end means of transportation in today's society.
For poor farmers, cattle are more valuable labor than people, while horses can only be raised by the truly rich.
Those who came on horseback were actually carrying weapons such as swords. Their cloud vision was very good and they could see from a distance. The pointing villagers were very frightened and some of them had already rushed to the village.
Seeing those people, Yunjing's first thought was to stay away. He didn't know who those people were, but there was nothing wrong with being careful. After all, he was carrying weapons. If he encountered a bad person, the consequences would be disastrous.
But after this thought flashed through his mind, he did not leave immediately, because he recognized one of the pedestrians, Wang Baotou, whom he had met outside Niujiao Town.
As a member of the government, Yun Jing still clearly remembers the way Wang Captou killed the thugs to appease the people, so he would never bring people to rob homes in broad daylight.
It was also because of his presence that Yun Jing felt a little at ease.
Of course, Yunjing is not stupid enough to place his comfort on others. Although he does not suffer from delusions of persecution, he has secretly prepared two means of self-protection in the past few years.
The threat was enough, but facing a strongman like Wang Putou, Yunjing didn't have the slightest confidence.
"Xiao Jing, take your brother and go back quickly. I don't know whether those people are good or bad. Go back and ask your grandfather to organize the villagers and have a response. Let's see what happens here first."
Some villagers saw the Yunjing brothers stopping to watch and quickly came over to remind them.
At this time, the importance of a village chief is reflected. When encountering such a big event, the first thing that comes to mind is the village chief. At this time, the village chief is really the backbone of a village.
"I understand, uncle, please be careful."
After being advised to have a full meal, Yunjing rushed forward without being stupid, nodded in response, and took Xiao Yundong towards home.
Those who came on horseback were still far apart, leisurely and leisurely, as if they were outing. They didn't seem to care about the actions of the villagers, and walked slowly towards Xiaoxi Village.
When Yunjing returned home, Yunlin, who had received the news, was already urgently summoning the villagers.
Because he didn't know the purpose of the other party's coming, Yunlin prepared for the worst and asked all the old, weak, women and children in the village to stay at home, while the young and strong used farm tools as weapons. He didn't know if this would be useful, but it was better than not being prepared at all.
Do.
It has to be said that after gradually adapting to the role of village chief, Yun Lin has gradually developed his own way of talking and doing things. His arrangements are not only orderly, but also quite methodical.
Everyone is forced to do something, and no one is born with everything.
At this time, it was too late to report to the officials, and the villagers could not abandon the place where their ancestors had lived for generations just to avoid meeting those people, so they could face it bravely.
Yunjing was forced to stay at home and take care of his younger brother, while Yunlin and Yunshan led the villagers to gather in the open space in the middle of the village.
Standing on the attic of his new house, Yun Jing looked from a distance. A large group of villagers quickly gathered there, and as time passed, more and more villagers gathered together.
"Don't be afraid, Xiaojing Xiaodong, it's okay, my mother is here," Jiang Susu comforted from the side.
Being a mother means you are strong. Even though she was so nervous that her face turned pale, she still bravely stood in front of the Yunjing brothers and held up a safe little sky.
Soon after, the few people who came on horseback also arrived at the gathering place of the village. Facing the villagers holding farm tools as weapons, they did not pay attention at all, but they did not show any ridicule or disdain.
"Who is the village chief?"
Facing the nervous villagers, several people got off their horses. Among them, Wang Captou stood up and was the first to speak...
