The green reeds sway with the wind, and the friction between the leaves makes "sand" and "sand". Whenever there is a strong wind, the reeds will fly all over the sky. It is like thousands of elves, blending into the sky and the earth. The reeds are very beautiful.

It's as big as a green carpet, spreading from the front to the horizon.

But if you really walk out of the reed swamp, you will see the clear water of the Liaohe River rushing past under your feet. The sea hair flies over the Liaohe River, and birds chirp from time to time. The setting sun seems to hang on the water.

, there is a sun in the sky and a sun in the water. The red clouds in the sky are reflected in the water, and the water and the sky appear one color.

This is the only place in the Liaodong Peninsula where you can see the sunset over the sea. The surging Daliao River turns a corner here and then merges into the Bohai Bay.

There is no ditch camp! According to legend, during the Tang Dynasty, when Taizong personally conquered Liaodong, Wei Zheng, the censor doctor, personally went to the Dragon King to discuss it. He borrowed a foothold for Taizong in Liaodong and agreed to borrow it in the third watch and return it in the fifth watch. Unexpectedly, Wei Zheng cheated and ordered No Gou Camp.

From now on, the battalion is not allowed to call the fifth watch.

The abundant Liaohe River water moistens the fertile land, and the rice produced in Wugou is steamed with oil beads. It is the most delicious when paired with the fried yellow croaker. His Majesty the Ming Emperor specially ordered people to delimit the royal area at the foot of Wanger Mountain.

The farm is dedicated to growing sweet rice for the royal family.

Because it is an imperial village, it does not pay taxes from the government. The villagers live a very prosperous life. The wide road is paved with bluestone, and it is very practical to walk on it.

A girl of sixteen or seventeen years old, followed by a boy of thirteen or fourteen years old, was walking on the bluestone. She was wearing a red shirt and a green jacket and a pair of floral cloth shoes. There were beads of sweat on her pretty face. Her eyes seemed to be filled with tears.

A puddle of water is a man's heart melting just by looking at those eyes. The only drawback is that his skin may look a little dark due to years of hard work.

The boy behind him is actually a fourteen-year-old boy, but because of his thin body, he doesn't look like a boy, but more like a child.

The girl was carrying a basket in her hand, with a hoe in it. It looked like she was going up the mountain to dig wild vegetables. The Achnatherum splendens, Enlightenment vegetables and mother-in-law vegetables in this season were all delicious. After boiling them with water, they were ready for rice.

"Sister! I don't want to go up the mountain with you to dig wild vegetables, I want to go play by the river." The young man begged, pulling the girl's sleeve.

"Stop! You broke your leg two months ago while climbing a tree, and now you're making trouble again. Your skin is itchy, right? If you make trouble again, I won't beat you!" The girl's almond-shaped eyes widened and she glared at the boy.

The young man lowered his head and said nothing, and continued to follow the girl. Last time he broke his leg, but it was the elder sister who was beaten. There was no way, the boy was so precious, and he broke his leg again. The father was reluctant to beat him, so the elder sister became

A punching bag. Because of this, the young man was still very uneasy.

"Sister, Brother Shuanzhu is peeking at you again. You can't be nice to him. Last time he caught river crabs and didn't even give them to me to eat. He's a cheapskate!" Li Xiao said while making a face at Shuanzhu. Shuanzhu

Zhu quickly lowered his head and continued to study the soybeans in the ground.

"Silly boy, crabs are poisonous if they eat reed roots. People can't eat them, they can only be fed to chickens. You are so promising, and you are competing with chickens for food." Li Xiangxiu slapped Li Xiao lovingly, and looked away from a distance

He gave Shuanzhu a roll of his eyes.

"The crabs at the mouth of the Liaohe River are the most plump. It is said that there were no crabs here before. When the Emperor of Tang Dynasty conquered Liaodong, he had to cross the river at Wewugou Camp. But the Liaohe River was so wide that there was no way to cross it. When the Emperor of Tang Dynasty was at a loss what to do, on the Liaohe River at night

Suddenly a bridge paved with crabs appeared. The Tang Emperor's army crossed the Liao River and defeated the Koreans. They snatched Liaodong back from the Koreans." Li Xiao proudly showed off his knowledge.

"Are you going to listen to Mr. Wu talk about ancient times again? Silly boy, those crabs that Mr. Wu is talking about are river crabs. There is a horseshoe mark on the crab lid. It is said that it was stepped on by the Tang Emperor's army. That kind of crab is only found on the north bank, and on the south bank.

The crabs we eat are called saucy clips. They don’t taste good, so we can only feed them to chickens and ducks.” Li Xiangxiu almost laughed out loud. Master Wu was good at everything and was knowledgeable. But he was so poor at learning, even this

Don't even know.

"Sister, I want to go to the north shore to catch crabs." Speaking of river crabs, my mouth watered just thinking about the plump yellow plum owl.

"I'm not allowed to go. I broke my leg just two months ago. The place where my father hit me still hurts. I don't dare to go out for a run again. Today I picked vegetables with my sister. I fried them with water in the evening and ate them with chicken and yellow sauce. I want to

Eat river crabs, sister will catch them for you tomorrow."

"Then I'm going to hit two cocks!" Li Xiao said, grabbing Li Xiangxiu's clothes...

"Okay, okay! Hit two chickens!" Li Xiangxiu patted her brother's head and turned around to see the girl doing needlework in the fenced yard.

"Sister Cui'er, embroider your wedding clothes." Li Xiangxiu shouted to the girl inside through the wooden fence.

"No...no...!" The girl was very shy and hid her wedding dress behind her back. But how could she hide the bright red wedding dress.

"Sister Cui'er is the most beautiful woman in our village, and her future husband must be an upright hero. Sister Cui'er, what are you doing!" Li Xiao shouted to Cui'er with a smile.

"I'll give you a big apple and stuff your mouth. At such a young age, your mouth looks like it's covered in honey. I don't know whose little lady you deceived." Cui'er gave Li Xiao a big apple, and then

Hit Li Xiao on the head.

"You kid, what nonsense are you talking about? I've known you to be behind your sister all day long. This leg of yours was broken just to cause trouble for your sister." An old man playing chess on the roadside saw this.

Li Xiao got another apple and said with a smile.

"Old Uncle Wu, just now Brother Mu told me that you have come to show off to me in ancient times. I will pick some shepherd's purse and give you some." Li Xiangxiu saw Old Uncle Wu and hurriedly said hello. As the most famous person in the village,

A learned person, children like to listen to him talk about ancient times the most.

"Xiangxiu still knows how to be filial to the elders, Xiangxiu! Come back to my field in a while. The cucumbers planted by your elder brother are ready. They are crunchy and sweet when you take a bite." Old Uncle Wu's daughter-in-law stood across the fence.

, shouted to Li Xiangxiu.

"Okay! Thank you sister-in-law. If you are inconvenient, just say anything." Li Xiangxiu greeted Sister-in-law Wu with a smile.

"This child is really sensible. I don't know who will be blessed enough to marry you home from now on." As Mrs. Wu spoke, she looked at the tie-post not far away who pricked up her ears to eavesdrop.

"My sister-in-law will definitely give birth to a eldest daughter. I will marry her sister-in-law's daughter in the future." Li Xiao wanted to say, but his mouth was already blocked. Sister-in-law Wu's eyebrows almost stood up!

Li Xiangxiu was a little shy, so she slapped Li Xiao and left. People greeted her enthusiastically along the way. The small Ivory Village was lively and prosperous, full of deep warmth.

After going up the mountain, Li Xiangxiu put Li Xiao down and told him not to run around, and then went to dig wild vegetables.

"Sister, look!" Li Xiao pointed to the smoke rising in the distance. In the smoke, a group of people were riding horses quickly approaching Zhuangzi.

Those people carried bows and arrows, and immediately carried spears, broadswords, and thick maces. The leading ones were wearing armor, and the rest were all wearing coarse cloth and wearing animal skin hats on their heads. The sun shone brightly.

Their weapons reflected cold light.

"Tatar soldiers!" Li Xiangxiu screamed and ran into the village.

Iron hooves made the gravel on the mountain make noise, and the two tall horses took the lead to ascend the short slope. From Li Xiao's perspective, under the sunlight, the long face with an aquiline nose was extremely menacing, and a scar from the corner of his eye to the corner of his mouth made him even more...

People find it ferocious and terrifying.

Li Xiangxiu dragged the basket and shouted to the village as he ran: "Run! The Tatar soldiers are coming."

The eldest sister ran desperately on the mountain path, her figure jumping and flashing like a running sika deer. When the Tatar soldiers saw Li Xiangxiu running, they immediately chased her. The war horse galloped on the mountain path, and the iron hoofs made a sound on the gravel.

"Run! The Tatar soldiers are coming, the Tatar soldiers...!" The long sword waved, and a cold light appeared. The blade passed by and the head was severed.

Li Xiangxiu's voice stopped abruptly, and a human head shot up into the sky where the knife passed. The blood spurted out of his mouth was like a red ribbon. It exuded a coquettish light in the sun. Li Xiangxiu's hands scratched at the position of his head.

Down, as if looking for the flying head.

The corpse fell to the ground with a "thud", and then countless iron hooves stepped on the girl's soft corpse and rushed towards Zhuangzi.

Li Xiao picked up a stone and wanted to rush over to fight the Tatar soldiers. Unfortunately, his broken leg was not strong enough. He took two steps forward, missed his footing and rolled down the mountain ridge. His small body suddenly fell down.
Chapter completed!
