The wealth of rebirth is deep in the mountains

Chapter 177
get married?

Xiaomi had a strange look on her face. She originally thought Jiji Li was a coming-of-age gift, but she didn't expect to show herself, and the intention was to sell her...

Aunt Liu was afraid that she wouldn't be able to persuade Xiaomi, so she said, "It's still early, and there is still time to prepare. Why don't you invite Mrs. Chen to sit down in a few days, and let's ask her for advice. Although it can't be like those officials and officials, the Lu family is at least there. It's also from a scholarly family, and the youngest may be the number one scholar in the next spring exam. Xiaomi's Jiji ceremony is not careless."

"Okay, it's still Liu's sister who is considerate."

Aunt Jiang and Aunt Han both nodded. As for Xiaomi, her opinion is not important anymore...

Sometimes, that's often the case, no matter how well planned things are, there will always be some mishaps.

Since the spread of the Millet Layue Office and Jili on Laoxiong Ridge, every household is secretly preparing to open it.

Jewelry and the like, firstly, there is no shortage of millet, and secondly, everyone feels that they can't afford any good ones, so they passed by and directly set their targets on the fabric of the new dress.

The family didn't spend too much, only one tael of silver, 17 taels together, enough to buy a bolt of good silk and satin to make a dress for Xiaomi.

Villagers with good skills also started wandering down the mountain, and when they encountered unlucky pheasants, rabbits or silly roe deer, they brought them home.

The old man couldn't go up the mountain, so he took out all the good fur at the bottom of the press box, and discussed what kind of big fur cloak to make for Xiaomi.

Xiaomi didn't know anything about these things, and occasionally felt that the villagers were busier than before, and thought it was because everyone had saved their energy to grow vegetables to earn money for the New Year.

Aunt Liu tried to get people to go to the city to invite Mrs. Chen, but for some unknown reason, it snowed heavily in the sky, and the flakes of snow like goose feathers were blown down hastily by the north wind.

At night, the wind and snow seemed to be gathered by an invisible hand, and it became extremely quiet.

Get up early and wait for the villagers to clean up, the heavy snow fell again.

In this way, it's like playing hide-and-seek, but within seven or eight days, even the most diligent people, the snowflakes in the yard are piled up to the height of a person.

Every household can no longer be lazy, the men live in the conservatory, and go up to the roof at any time to push down the thick snow with a shovel nailed into the plank, otherwise, if you delay a little longer, the obliquely installed window sashes will blow out. The creaking sound made people's teeth sore, as if it was about to collapse at any time.

Several old people in the village frowned, feeling that something was wrong.

Old Master Feng took his old brothers around, looked through the almanac, calculated for a long time, and finally sent a letter to every family in the village.

"I'm afraid there will be a catastrophe in this weather. Every family saves some food and firewood. If there is not enough, buy more quickly."

Everyone had listened to Old Master Feng's words for many years, so there was no doubt, so those who drove the sledge into the city, and those who braved the wind and snow to cut down the dead trees at the bottom of the mountain to go home, were all busier.

Old Master Feng and the elders were not idle, they worked as horses and sledges, walked around the previous few in-laws who walked in the same village, and gave a few instructions.On the one hand, this represents Lao Xiongling's emphasis on friendship, and on the other hand, it is to see if there is a need for help, and to lend a hand quickly.

The rest of the houses are alright, some in the town, and some in the village next to the official road, only the village where the Zhao family lives doesn't look very good.

Although they are all mountain dwellings, Zhaojia Village is not located on a high place like Old Xiongling, but is located under a cliff.The cliff is very high, and now it has fallen snow, which makes it even more majestic.There are more than 200 households in Zhaojia Village, with a population of [-]. They usually guard the official road not far away. Life in the village is better than in Laoxiongling.

Old Master Feng didn't know why, but he felt terrified when he looked at the cliff, so he tried his best to persuade Zhao's family to move to Laoxiongling together.

The two elders of the Zhao family were still a little hesitant. After all, it was hard to leave their homeland. Although they had agreed to move to Laoxiongling in Chunri, they were happy to stay for another winter.

"Brother, it's cold these days. A broken house is worth tens of millions. It's not easy to move once. Let's talk about it in spring."

The two daughters-in-law of the Zhao family went to a banquet earlier, and they were very envious of the wealth of Lao Xiongling. Almost all the old and young women in the village had silver hairpins on their heads.So I urged my parents-in-law, "Father and mother, people say that if you don't listen to the old man's words, you will suffer in front of your eyes. Since Old Master Feng said that it is better to move now, let's move now. Besides, we will be closer to my sister-in-law in the future, so I will move around a lot. It's convenient, but we don't have to go up and down the mountains like this, freezing our nephew to death."

Old man Zhao still hesitated, but old lady Zhao was thinking about her daughter and changed her mind, "Old man, let's move."

Old man Zhao knocked on the cigarette pot, frowned and asked Old Master Feng, "Uncle Feng, you really don't like it?"

Old Master Feng nodded and sighed, "I haven't been able to sleep well for the past few days, and I always feel terrified. I remember the last time this happened when I was a teenager. At that time, there was a big flood, and it turned out that the old village died. More than half of the people..."

Everyone gasped when they heard that, old man Zhao quickly got up and told his family members, "Pack up your things, pick out what you can use first, and it won't be too late to pull the wooden utensils after spring. I'll go around the houses, No matter what, I have to remind you."

"Okay, dad, go and come back quickly, let's clean up first."

The two daughters-in-law of the Zhao family were overjoyed, and hurriedly started packing things.

I don't want the old man Zhao to come back soon, the reason is very simple, no one believes that there will be a catastrophe.Of course, I believe, where to move and hide in such a big winter.I simply ignored it and listened to it as a joke.

That night, the Zhao family moved to Laoxiongling.Lu Laoer's yard is now occupied by those prairie people in the front yard, and the back yard is free.Mr. Feng specially said hello to Xiaomi and borrowed it for a few months.

Naturally, Xiaomi wouldn't say anything bad about it. Lu's second son, the prodigal son, didn't know that it would be the year of the monkey before they got married. It's good that the yard is a little popular.

In this way, after another two or three days, the heavy snow piled up on the road, and even transporting vegetables into the city was somewhat difficult.The newly fallen snow layer is too thick, unlike the snow layer that has been experienced by the north wind and the sun. The horse steps on it, and it will "plop" down after a few steps. The snow layer is directly attached to the horse's belly.Every time the horse was pulled out, the coachman wished he could become a snowman.

In the afternoon of this day, Xiaomi was working with Uncle Liu and a few other villagers, thinking about using wooden planks to imitate skis, and when the time came, he would send a few brave young men to carry vegetable baskets on their backs, and rely on manpower to enter the city.

But before he could figure it out, some naughty boys rushed to report the news.

"Miss Xiaomi, the herd of deer has gone crazy!"

Everyone was surprised to hear that, and they gathered in front of the deer fence. Sure enough, the sika deer seemed to be frightened, restless, and rushed to the high fence eager to try, trying their best to jump out and escape from here.

There was even a buck that hurt its hoof because it couldn't escape, but it still didn't give up jumping.

Everyone was puzzled and asked, "Is it possible that these deer have eaten bad grass? I heard that there is a kind of grass on the grassland, and cattle and sheep will go crazy after eating it!"

"No, the hay is all cut in autumn. If there is something wrong, you should have gone crazy."

Xiaomi also couldn't guess the reason, but he was as frightened as old Feng Ye.

"Uncle, uncle, help me tie these deer with ropes. I don't feel sorry for them running back to the forest. It's a pity that they hurt their legs and feet for nothing."

"Success, don't worry, it's a trivial matter."

The villagers all clapped their chests in response, and they were the last ones to grab and tie each other, before the sun went down, and they were done.

At dinner, Xiaomi wanted to talk to his father about it, but it was a pity that Lu's father brought the food into the room without even raising his head.

Xiaomi is helpless, don't say that a herd of deer is abnormal at the moment, even if the sky is falling, Dad probably won't care about it.

On the contrary, Gao Ren saw that Xiaomi was absent-minded, asked a few words, and finally chewed the ribs, murmured, "What are you afraid of, there is a young master. The sky is falling, and I will run away with you, and just go back to the capital to find our young master. "

Xiaomi was amused and shy when he heard it, so he quickly grabbed a piece of meat and blocked his mouth.On the first day of junior high school, he still didn't say anything, but kept following Xiaomi to help pick up the bowls, locked the courtyard door, and then lived directly in the front yard without going down the mountain.

The night was in order, the wind and snow stopped again, and the whole world seemed to be eerily quiet.But without the disturbing sound of wind and snow, everyone slept peacefully.

Xiaomi tossed and turned a bit, and finally fell asleep. It seemed that just after she closed her eyes, someone pushed her violently.

She was startled, and sat up only to realize that no one was pushing her at all, but the whole house was shaking!

earthquake!

Xiaomi jumped to the ground as soon as he jumped up, and the door of the room was kicked open before he could pull the coat beside the kang.

Gao Ren picked her up and ran outside, Xiaomi hurriedly shouted, "I'm fine, get my dad out!"

As a result, as soon as she finished speaking, she bumped into her father on the second door.

Father Lu stayed up late to study and didn't sleep at all. When he found the earthquake, he subconsciously ran to the backyard to save his daughter, but he didn't want Gao Ren to be faster.

At this time, Aunt Han pulled the blue and white jade and ran out.On the first day of junior high school, he was even more straightforward. He wore a middle coat with just a piece of millet, and went straight back to the rickety house and pulled a bed of cotton to wrap the millet tightly.

Xiaomi jumped up angrily, "You are stupid, you dare to go in, what if the house collapses!"

On the first day of junior high school, she didn't speak, but stood beside her.

At this moment, the earthquake actually stopped slowly.The world is like a child who has just learned to walk. After practicing for a while, it calms down.

The eerie silence in the village lasted for a while, and suddenly the panicked sounds of children, women's sobs, and men's shouts filled everyone's eardrums like a flood that suddenly opened a floodgate.

Even though Xiaomi was wearing a quilt, he was still shivering from the cold, and Father Lu's faces were ashen.Xiaomi wrapped the blue and white jade in the quilt, and called Gao Ren cruelly, "Go into the room and take out everyone's cotton coats, but be careful, be careful, run away if you are in danger!"

Gao Ren waved his hands nonchalantly, raised his feet and ran into the room.Xiaomi's heart was in her throat, if it wasn't for the young and old in the yard, and Gao Ren's skill, she wouldn't be able to say that.

Fortunately, Gao Ren came out soon, and the ground did not tremble any more.

Everyone didn't care about avoiding it, and hurriedly put on cotton clothes, and Father Lu went out to see the neighbors in the village.
