Looking down, the little niece pointed to the mountains in the distance and asked her with childlike innocence:
"Auntie, do you think that mountain looks like a goat's horns?"
"Um?"
Xu Yue looked casually in the direction the little girl was pointing.
In the night, the cold moonlight shines on the continuous ridges. The ridge in the middle is higher than the surrounding ones, and its length is slightly different.
The other mountains are all pointed triangles, but the taller one in the middle looks like a half crescent moon stuck in the ground. Indeed, it is curved like a goat's horn.
Xu Yue rubbed her niece's soft hair and nodded, "Well, it does look like a goat horn."
Xu Dongbei came closer and said unwillingly: "It's the moon in the water."
When Xu Pingyuan heard what his brother said, he immediately became unhappy and said loudly without any refutation: "It's goat horns!"
"It's the moon!" Xu Dongbei said confidently. He added: "There is a big river, so the moon that fell into the water is the moon in the water!"
Xu Pingyuan was dissatisfied, "Where is the big river?"
She didn't see Dahe at all, and her brother was lying.
The brother and sister couldn't argue, and neither could convince the other. They all looked at their aunt for judgment.
Unexpectedly, the referee ignored the two of them at all, staring blankly at the winding mountain, muttering something in his mouth:
"There is a big river in front, and the mountains are independent... Dad!"
Xu Yue suddenly stood up and shouted into the courtyard, frightening the two little ones in front of her.
Xu Da, who was brainwashing Zhao Jian and others in the courtyard, heard his daughter yelling and rushed in like a gust of wind, and asked nervously:
"What's wrong? What's wrong?"
Xu Yue raised her hand and pointed at the mountain in the distance that looked like a goat's horn and half a crescent moon and asked excitedly:
"Dad, do you think that mountain looks familiar?"
Xu Da thought something big was going on, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
I turned my head and looked towards the distant mountains. Under the hazy moonlight, I saw a mountain like a crescent moon standing among the mountains, hugged by the mountains in the middle.
Memories that had disappeared for a long time suddenly came back, and Xu Da's eyes darkened. He had never seen this landscape before.
The year their family came to this world, there was a severe drought in Yanzhou. The family of five fled from Yanzhou and came to the border of Jizhou. When passing through Hejian County, they stayed at a farmhouse for the night and had foreseen such a mountain.
Seeing that his aunt was ignoring him, Xu Dongbei muttered again, "It's obviously the moon in the water."
"Is there water over there?" Xu Da lowered his head and asked his grandson.
Seeing that an adult finally paid attention to him, Xu Dongbei hurriedly said excitedly: "There is water, a big, big river!"
Xu Dongbei was born with a strong sense of the water element. When he said there was a river, Xu Da had no doubt at all.
He walked out of the hall and came to the gate of the house. Without the barrier of the courtyard wall, the mountain was more obvious. He used his spiritual energy to listen carefully, and the faint sound of the rushing water of the river could be heard more than ten miles away.
Xu Da raised his head and looked at the moon. His fingers hanging in his sleeves were already counting, and he murmured,
"The owner of the mountain is Ding, and water controls wealth. The method of Feng Shui is to get water first, and hide the wind second. This place faces forward, back, and hugs left and right. It is a Feng Shui tomb for the rich and powerful. There must be a big tomb at the foot of the mountain!
"
Xu Yue stood behind her father and heard this familiar calculation and judgment again, and couldn't help but feel excited.
"We have money!" The father and daughter looked at each other and laughed in unison.
Brother and sister Xu Dongbei, who came over and were still waiting for their aunt and grandfather to help judge, tilted their heads and looked at the father and daughter in front of them who were smiling like foxes, their big eyes filled with the grievance of being ignored.
The two little guys grabbed the hems of their clothes and forced them to tell themselves whether the mountain looked like goat horns or a crescent moon in the water.
Xu Da tapped Xu Pingyuan's little nose and said, "It's a goat horn."
Xu Dongbei was unhappy and was about to retort when Xu Yue smiled and said: "It's like a crescent moon in the water."
"Everything you said is right!" The father and daughter said perfunctorily in unison.
Seeing that the two little ones were satisfied, Xu Yue and Xu Da each held one in their arms and strode into the courtyard. They caught the Wu family boy who was left to look after the house and asked:
"Do you have farm tools at home for clearing wasteland? Shovels, hoes, picks, etc."
The boy looked confused. Are the Xu family and his daughter planning to open up wasteland this late at night?
However, his boss had told the Xu family to cooperate as much as possible if they had any orders, so the boy could only suppress his curiosity and lead the father and daughter to the warehouse.
Iron farm tools are very precious to farmers, so they are cherished very much and usually kept in the warehouse.
Zhao Jian noticed the abnormality of the father and daughter from Xu Yue's shout just now, and followed them curiously. He saw the father and daughter, under the guidance of the servant, removing the hoes, picks, hatchets, knives and other things in the warehouse.
, slide them all out.
Boss Wu bought this house together with Zhuangzi. It has a lot of farm tools, more than a dozen of them are standing at the base of the wall, including most hoes, five hatchets, and five sickles.
There are also two large shovels produced at the Xujia Military Factory in Youzhou.
The bicycle that Boss Wu used to redeem his political performance points was also parked in the warehouse, and was very carefully covered with oilcloth and well protected.
The ox cart and horses had been taken away by Boss Wu and Wen Qing. Xu Yue glanced at the boy.
The boy was concentrating on searching for Xu Da's Luoyang shovel hidden by his boss. He didn't pay attention. There was a crash behind him, and the oilcloth was peeled off, revealing the three shiny bicycles.
The boy was so shocked that he took in a breath of cold air and said, "Chief Xu, you can't do this. This is the car that my boss brought back from Yuyang. I would rather not ride it on weekdays!"
"Two of them are shared by several other shopkeepers in the same group. They are only temporarily stored at the big shopkeeper's house. They cannot be moved..."
Before she finished speaking, Xu Yue had already put down her curious nephew in her arms, and carried the three bicycles out with one hand and two strokes.
Spotting the sneaky Zhao Jian, he raised his chin at him, patted the 28-inch car in front of him, and said, "This one is for you!"
Zhao Jian pointed to himself in surprise and couldn't believe it, "Give it to me?"
Xu Yue nodded, "It's just for you, Xiao Wu. You should know how to ride. Teach him."
Xu Yue naturally pulled over Xiao Wu, who was crying without tears, and asked him to give Zhao Jian a crash course in cycling.
As Mr. Wu's personal servant, running errands is a basic job. There is such a convenient thing as a bicycle at home. Although I may not have the opportunity to ride it, I will definitely be able to ride it.
Seeing that Xu Yue had assigned three bicycles, one for Xu Da, one for Zhao Jian, and one for Xu Yue himself, Xiao Wu knew that he could no longer stop him, so he resigned himself to his fate and led Che and Zhao Jian to the front yard to teach him how to do it.
Get started.
Xu Jiajun's two-wheeled bicycle is no longer a secret to the outside world, but few people have actually seen a "magic bicycle" with a steamed bun that can travel for a whole day.
Zhao Jian had only heard of its name, but this was the first time he saw the real thing today.
