What Xiaobao is really grateful for is Grandpa Huang's thoughts, his worries about himself, his thoughts only for himself but not even his mother knows.

It seems from the surroundings that no matter who is good to other children, they would like to sell favors to the parents of the children immediately, but Grandpa Huang is not the case. He does not want any favors and just cares about Xiaobao.

Not a relative, but better than a relative.

As I set out on the road with this intention in mind, in the cold wind of early spring, I felt a slight warmth flowing to my heart.

This time I was separated from my mother, not for anything else but for the Meng family.

My mother can't argue with him now. He is free and he can.

Regardless of strength, in terms of strength, who is stronger, the mouse or the cat? But really, who is the most destructive?

Xiaobao didn't believe it. The Meng family was so powerful, but they just resorted to ambush and assassination, which was not very clever.

On this trip, Xiaobao must find a way to suppress the Meng family. If Wu Jichang can die, so can the Meng family.

Are mice afraid of cats? I eat cats and mice!

Riding on the horse, my forehead hurts due to the cold wind, but the anger in my eyes is getting more and more intense: Whoever makes my mother unhappy for a moment, I will make my whole life uneasy!

"Xiao Bao, where should we go first?" Xiao Sining asked.

There is a fork in the road in front of you, with two wooden signs as road signs. Go straight to the east, in the direction of Chongyu Prefecture, and another sign points to the northeast, where is Jishun Prefecture.

"Fish-worshipping Mansion." The little BMW pointed its whip eastward: "This place seems to worship fish-eating, go and have a look!"

In Jishun Prefecture, a boy from the family used to set up a college years ago, but Chongyu Prefecture did not have one. However, Chongyu Prefecture is next to Songjiang Prefecture to the east, and there is Meng Chun in Songjiang Prefecture.

Among the six prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River, these two prefectures are the most prosperous because the main canal road passes through these two prefectures and the terrain is gentle with no high mountains.

In the past few years, the population of Jiangnan has grown rapidly. The population of Chongyu and Songjiang Prefectures alone is nearly 10 million, and the cultivated land area is nearly 20 million acres, with abundant labor force and cultivated land.

The development of the Grand Canal to this day has not only brought convenience to grain transportation, but also facilitated the communication of various goods between the north and the south.

As Xiaobao and the others walked along, what struck them the most was the large number of people, the narrow road, the water, the short bridges, and the mist everywhere when the weather didn't cool down.

Unlike Jizhou, which is vast and sparsely populated, even the outskirts of Jiangnan are filled with villages connected to villages and rivers connected to rivers. A small bridge on the river is only big enough for a awning boat to pass underneath.

There are few rivers in Jizhou, and there are no bridges built on the small rivers. There are tall and wide bridges on the big rivers, but they are not as exquisite as the small bridges in the south of the Yangtze River.

In Jizhou, including most of Xinlunzhou, the sky is high and the clouds are clear, but in Jiangnan, they rarely see the sun for several days in a row. From morning to noon, they mostly travel in a semi-hazy state, feeling a bit chaotic.

It's like he didn't wake up.

Although there is no frozen river water, the cold and dampness makes northerners like Xiaobao very uncomfortable.

Xiaobao lived in Nanping County, a small county in the east of Chongyu Prefecture near Yibin Prefecture.

The entire Chongyu Mansion is a big basin, but Xiaobao has just arrived in Nanping County and settled temporarily, so he didn't realize it.

The reason why he temporarily stationed here was because he discovered that besides Xinlunzhou, there were actually mountains and slopes of terraced fields.

"Look, look! Their farmland is actually terraced fields!" Xiaobao said, pointing to a step-like rice field on the hillside, his voice full of surprise.

Unlike Jizhou, not long after the beginning of spring, spring sowing has already begun here. Rows of small green seedlings are neatly arranged on the hillside, which is really fresh.

Xiaobao exclaimed: "It's so nice here. People here have learned from my mother's terraced fields. Mother should also come and take a look!"

Chu Yuan was not particularly surprised. Hearing Xiaobao's words, he said, "Your mother knows what this means even if you don't come here!"

Xiaobao: "How did she know?"

Chu Yuan: "You can tell from the Book of Songs. When we were planting cotton in the military camp of Xinlun Prefecture, your mother would tell us interesting articles when she had nothing to do. There is something about the "First Month" in the Book of Songs, which says

'Looking at Sakata, there is something special about it'."

Xiaobao was stunned for a moment. He had also read this paragraph, but didn't it refer to fields on the hillside? It didn't say terraced fields.

Chu Yuan continued: "Your mother told us that the working people are the most intelligent. They can follow the slope of the hillside, change the slope into a ladder shape, go up layer by layer, build ridges on the side of the land, collect water for irrigation, and transform it according to local conditions.

In mountainous areas, sloping soil turns into fertile farmland.”

Xiaobao said with regret: "It turns out that the terraced fields were not invented by my mother..."

Gan Lai patted Xiaobao on the shoulder: "What else do you want? Your mother has come up with so many new things. It's a pity that your mother is not a man..."

Chu Yuan: "If she were a man, she would be Xiaobao's father!"

Xiaobao was angry: "My mother's knowledge may not even be matched by men!"

Gan Lai agrees.

Having said that, Xiaobao still mentioned it to Chu Qing in "The Legend of Flying Eagle": "Why did my mother infer that 'looking at the Sakata fields, there are special features' is terraced fields? Did you base it on the Book of Songs?"

The terraces?”

The Chu and Qing Dynasties also had no evidence to prove that "Zhanbi Sakata" was a terraced field. They only replied that "'It has special characteristics', which means that the seedlings grew very strong. Based on this, it was judged that the hillside land must have been processed and turned into farmland, so it was considered that it was a terraced field."

terraces;

In addition, it was based on this that my mother developed terraced fields in the mountains of No. 108 Village in Xinlun Prefecture with good water sources."

He also suggested to Xiaobao that if he could climb to the top of the terraced fields to see the bird's eye view, especially the terraced fields with steaming clouds and splendid clouds, he would be more amazed than the current view of "rice seedlings growing on the steps on the mountain".

Chu Qing hopes that Xiaobao can see the world from a different perspective, just like standing on the beach and looking at the sea, he only feels that the sea is wide; if he stands in the sea and looks at the sea, he will feel small.

The feeling is different.

Xiaobao didn't have the chance to soak in the sea and watch the sea at this time. He was just staring at the food in the bowl in a daze.

For the sake of convenience, they live in the county town of Nanping County instead of in the village. However, the food they are getting now is actually brown rice mixed with bran and gravel.

The dish on the plate was a dark, sour fish with no salty taste at all.

Xiaobao took a bite and almost vomited: "It's so fishy and sour, is it rotten fish? Have we run into a shady shop?"

Chu Yuan couldn't swallow it anymore and was about to get up and go find the store, but Gan Lai had already rushed out.

In a moment, Gan Lai carried the waiter in like a dirty rag and threw it on the ground.

Xiaobao: "What are you...?"

Gan Lai: "Don't you want to know if it's a black shop? It really is a black shop!"

Chu Yuan and Xiao Sining stood up suddenly. Xiao Sining even pulled out the dagger and stuck it on the table with a bang. The other boys also stood up and wanted to draw their weapons.

Xiaobao sat still. With so many brothers, why not be so aggressive with a waiter?

Xiaobao asked Gan Lai: "How do you know it's from a black shop?"

Gan Lai said: "I went to ask the waiter: 'Is your store a black shop?' The guy looked me up and down, and also looked at you in the back room, and said: 'You are a fool to get some people to strip naked and watch!'

Listen, it’s dirty and dirty, what is it if it’s not a black shop?”

When Chu Yuan heard this, he became anxious: "What the fuck! Are you asking someone to masturbate? You are such a coward. You want to do whatever you want to do to the girl's family in the clear day!"
