The little girl of the general's house

Chapter 200 Rebuilding the Beacon Tower

Bai He's father was talking, as if he had returned to more than twenty years ago:
"That year was also during the slack season. My father, my cousins ​​and I went out to find work together. I remember going to Qixia Mountain at that time. I remember it very clearly. What we did at that time was to chisel on the hill Stones, when finished, transport the stones to the top of the mountain. We have been doing this job for more than half a month, and we have earned a lot of money."

Speaking of this, Bai He's father laughed: "I won't make any money, so I will marry a wife."

"Yes." Speaking of this, Bai He's mother also smiled, looked at Bai He's father and said, "My parents said at the time that you are hardworking and willing to work, and my relatives also said that I found a good family."

Bai He saw that her parents were getting bored in front of unknown people in broad daylight, and she felt a little blushed for them.

He hurriedly interjected and asked, "Father, I don't understand what you do. I've heard of picking stones for the foundation of a house, but they are all picked down the mountain. Why do you put stones on the top of the mountain?" Pick up?"

"You don't know that." Bai He said, "At that time, every stone we picked was half the length of a man, and it was not so big. It was not as simple as building a house. At that time Ah, it's building a beacon tower."

"Beacon Tower?" Li Yujiao couldn't help but say, "I know that Beacon Towers are used to transmit messages during wars, but Qixia Mountain is not considered an important traffic route, so why did you choose to build a Beacon Tower on Qixia Mountain?" Woolen cloth?"

As soon as Li Yujiao finished speaking, Uncle Lin's voice rang out, and at the same time, he looked at Li Yujiao with some admiration in his eyes.

"Girls only know one thing, but not the other."

Uncle Lin continued: "Although Qixia Mountain is not an important traffic route, there are many mountains and rivers in the south of Qi State, and the mountains on the southwest border are more dense. Qixia Mountain is the highest mountain in this area. It was seen by the soldiers of other Beacon Towers, so they chose to build Beacon Towers here at that time."

"I see." Li Yujiao nodded.

Uncle Lin continued: "To tell the truth, my family is not hosting a wedding this time, but the Beacon Tower on Qixia Mountain is going to be rebuilt. My master and I participated in the casting of this Beacon Tower more than 20 years ago. Now Reconstruction, a team will be dispatched from the army, many of them are old brothers and comrades-in-arms, so my master must treat him warmly."

No wonder, this Uncle Lin looks like a Lianjiazi, not an ordinary person, and he was also a soldier before.

Li Yujiao saw that Uncle Lin spoke frankly, but it was not a bad thing for her to be careful, so she asked again:
"Then what about the old beacon tower, no more?"

Uncle Lin shook his head with some regret: "It rained a lot in the early years, and it was destroyed when the mountain collapsed once. But the reconstruction will change the place, I'm not worried about that."

"That's good." Li Yujiao thought for a while, and suggested: "Since I, Uncle Bai, also know the address of your residence, I was thinking, why don't we just go there by ourselves, and don't bother your residence to pick you up."

Uncle Lin said straightforwardly, "That's fine." Glancing at Bai Heniang, he said, "You can bring your own people to help. If it's just two girls, it might be a little inconvenient. There are enough rooms for you to go with three or five people. .”

"Just now I said that the pick-up and drop-off are included, so the money for the carriage and horses is also paid by my family." Uncle Lin added.

Bai He said happily: "That would be the best!"
