When Li Luo and Cui Xiuning saw the abandoned courtyard, they were shocked even when they were mentally prepared.

Although the courtyard covers an area of ​​half an acre, it has almost become a place of vines and thorns. The courtyard is covered with shrubs that are more than one meter high. If it weren't for the cold winter, you would have seen wild weeds all over the garden.

Through the low courtyard wall covered with withered vines, you can see three rooms, black and without doors, and snow filled the threshold.

Although it looks like a deserted house like a haunted house, fortunately it is still complete. It is not a dangerous house that is about to collapse, and there are no cracks on the walls.

It was like this after only four or five years without anyone living there.

"This house was not bad at that time, but now it is this situation." Du Lie said with emotion. "I will help you clean up and you can live in today."

Du Lie fully demonstrated the style of a Jurchen man. While Li Luo and Cui Xiuning were still hesitating, he kicked open the decaying gate of the courtyard, pulled open the vines blocking the road, and rushed into the courtyard in a hurry.

The two followed in a little ashamed, carefully stomping Du Lie's footprints, and looked around.

Du Lie had already pulled out a few shrubs at this time, and said while pulling them out, "This is firewood, don't give it up."

Li Luo naturally couldn't watch it, so he rubbed his hands and pulled it up.

Cui Xiuning was embarrassed and followed suit and wanted to pull the bushes. Du Li stopped him and said, "The wife of the Li family is a woman. How can she do heavy work? If the wife can't stand it, she will clean the house."

Cui Xiuning was very displeased when she heard him calling him "the wife of the Li family". But she knew that Du Lie was kind and could not clarify, so she could only secretly gouged Li Luo and then walked into a room carefully.

"Although Brother Li is a family, his strength is quite strong." Du Lie saw Li Luo pulling out a few shrubs, and he couldn't help but look higher. Although the roots of these shrubs are still shallow, they have grown for several years and have poor strength.

Although Li Luo is not old, he often exercises and is nutritious. With his size of 1.78 meters, he is of course very strong. Once he puts down his body and does physical work, he is a good player.

"Brother is more neat than me, he is a real hero." Li Luo flattered.

Du Lie laughed, "No, I eat too little, I lose too much strength. When I was strong back then, I could also pull the three-stone strong bow."

Li Luo was a little surprised. Those who can pull out the three-stone strong bow must be a brave warrior. If you have more than 300 kilograms of strength in your arm, you may not be able to pull out the three-stone strong bow.

"Brother Du Lie is really a warrior. He can actually draw a three-stone strong bow! If he goes to the battlefield, he will be able to make a fortune and make a fortune." Li Luo admired him very much.

Du Lie said "hey", "What's this? Nowadays, there are many people in the Mongolian army who can draw a strong bow with three stones. Within a hundred steps, the leather armor cannot resist. Within a fifty steps, the iron armor will be difficult to stop. Within a few rounds of arrow rain, the enemy's formation will be in chaos. Then use heavy armor iron cavalry to break the formation and then use light cavalry to cover it up."

Du Lie was obviously in lingering fears, and the tragic tragedy of the uprising against Mongolia many years ago was still in sight.

Li Luo believes that in terms of physical strength and endurance, the ancient Jurchens were definitely outstanding. But at present, the Mongols are definitely stronger. After all, the Jurchens have been in the Central Plains for more than a hundred years and have become much weaker in their literary style.

It is said that most Mongolian soldiers are strong and powerful, especially the art of riding and shooting is the best in the world. Hundreds of Mongolian cavalry, carrying a bag of dry food and cheese, can harass thousands of enemies for three days and three nights without supply. They suddenly jumped off their horses and shot the enemy with a stair bow, and then jumped onto the horseback and used a archery bow to shoot back guerrillas. They often consumed ten times or dozens of times the morale of the enemy, and were depressed, and were defeated before the battle. What is even more terrifying is that the Mongolian army has the organizational ability, mobility and logistics capabilities that lead the era. The efficiency of implementing strategies and tactics is extremely high.

The Mongolian army of this era can definitely be proud of the world. Even the European Knights and Arab cavalry, which can be called powerful soldiers, have few chances of victory against the Mongolian army.

Even though the two of them were very strong, it took half an hour to clear the shrubs in the courtyard, and they were both exhausted and panting. Especially Li Luo, his hands were worn out. However, the yard became like a look, and there was a lot of firewood, which happened to be used to keep warm.

Cui Xiuning had also cleaned a room. Her hair was gray and she had thatch sticks to it, and her face became dirty.

Seeing her come out, Li Luo suddenly pointed at her ear, "You have one more earring."

Choi Soo-ning asked in confusion: "What?"

"Spider earrings."

Choi Soo-ning screamed immediately, and his face turned pale until he shook off the spider hanging from his ears.

Li Luo smiled and said, "This spider is dead, frozen to death."

Cui Xiuning glared at Li Luo fiercely and patted the dust on his body heavily.

Du Lie complained a little. The Li family’s little lady turned out to be a little bit fierce and she was ignorant of her husband.

Li Luo entered the house that Cui Xiuning had simply cleaned up and found it was a kitchen. There was a broken jar inside, but the pot was gone, the ground was full of dead grass, and there was only a simple small table that was spared.

"You can't make a fire without an iron pot. Now a iron pot costs more than 300 yuan." Du Lie said, "The tank can be used, just fill half a tank of water."

At this moment, Cui Xiuning's voice suddenly came from the middle room: "There is a wild dog."

The two entered the main room, and sure enough, when the dead grass covered the entrance of the big pit, they found a wild dog. Its bleak gray-brown hair was bleak, and it was listless, skinny and bony, and seemed to be malnourished. It stared at the few people pitifully, with its slender eyes filled with fear and fierceness.

It seems that it should have lived here for a long time and has regarded it as home.

"This is not a wild dog, this is a fox." Du Liexi said, "I'm lucky, the fox's meat is not bad." After that, he was about to step forward.

The fox noticed the danger and immediately grinned, stood up suddenly, and stood up like a withered hairy needle, and a low roar was heard from his mouth.

Only then did the three of them see clearly that this was a pregnant female fox. Its belly was quickly dragged to the ground, like a bulging sack.

Du Lie stopped immediately and said, "The pregnant beast will not be killed." It was a pity for him to sigh.

Cui Xiuning also breathed a sigh of relief. She really didn't want to hurt the pregnant female fox. As for Li Luo, she was thinking about the story of "The Fox Spirit in the Wild House". But it was obvious that although this fox was a mother, it could not become a beauty.

Du Dulie helped the two clean up for another hour. Seeing that it was almost possible to live, he was ready to leave. He did not forget to remind him when he left.

"Although the bedding in this room is dirty, it will not be cold when you use it. When the fire on the kang is burned at night, the room will be warm."

"Since you can't bear to drive this fox away, don't use the main house, the kang, so as not to hurt people at night."

"The price of grain will increase. The copper coins in your hands should be exchanged for two liters of grain as soon as possible. Walk half a mile to the right at the exit gate. There is a grocery shop at the bridge, where there is food to sell."

"My family is also here. When you encounter difficulties in a large cemetery two miles away, you can find me at the large cemetery."

Du Lie finished speaking and left.

Li Luo and Cui Xiuning set off a fire in the wing room and started to rest. After being tired for a long time, they were on fire and finally could take a breath.

"Is this a new home?"

“Well, the new home.

Apart from the earthen kang and a gray old bedding, the wing room of this new home only has a broken cabinet, which looks empty and desolate.

Li Luo brought in the shrubs he had pulled before and tidied them together neatly. These should be enough for two days to burn.

Cui Xiuning grabbed a handful of dead grass on the ground and put it into the fire pit, "I want to drink some boiled water."

"We don't have a pot, let's have some snow first." Li Luo also wanted to drink boiled water.

Cui Xiuning went out, then grabbed the snow and scrubbed the dust on her face, "Where is the money given by Dad Yan Duo? Let's go sell the food first. We will always eat it tonight."

Li Luo took out a handful of copper coins from his coat and gave some to Cui Xiuning.

“One, two, three, four, five…”

“One, two, three, four, five…”

"I have fifteen."

"I have fourteen, and that's twenty-nine." "How much food can I buy?"

"I don't know. Du Lie said he could only buy two liters of wheat."

"Then let's go quickly, I'm afraid the price will increase at any time."

Li Luo said: "I'll go, don't go out casually for now, so as not to get in trouble. Look at the fire, I'll buy it and go back."

"Okay. Then you are not allowed to hide wheat on the way."

"Little policewoman, I'm not that despicable."
