"Fifth brother, I also want to go to the third sister's house."

Seeing that Luo Feng had taken out a big dark horse, the younger sister quietly put down what she was doing and went around the gate to wait for Luo Feng to beg to go together.

"Little clever ghost, do you think your sneaky look just now didn't see it? I've seen your little thoughts long ago, but I just didn't say it out loud. Let's go."

The little girl stuck out her tongue and looked excited. A ten-year-old girl either does housework or pulls weeds all day long. She rarely has the opportunity to go out for a guest, so she is naturally happy.

"Go on the horse!" Luo Feng picked up his little sister and sat on the white-hoofed black.

"Ah, brother, it's so tall." Sitting on the horse, the little girl was a little panicked. It was the first time she could do it.

"Don't be afraid, I'm watching from the side. You see, Baituwu is very gentle."

After all, this horse is ten years old, and it used to be a cart puller, so it has a gentle temper. When the little sister sat on its back, it just nodded.

Luo Feng himself couldn't ride a horse, so he led the horse in front.

········

Autumn has begun, but the weather is still as hot as midsummer. It is said that there are eighteen autumn tigers after the beginning of autumn. The bride Luo Lian'er sat in her yard while drying herbal medicine while wiping herbs.

This day was a little cold sooner or later, but it was very hot during the day. The heat penetrated into the bones. When you move a few times, your body would sweat and sticky.

The newlyweds are just a little married, but her husband has no time to stay at home. The day before yesterday, Lichangxiang was accompanying Zhao San, a gangster from the county household, to ask their family to hand over five deer skins and ten pheasant feathers before the winter begins.

The husband took out the home-made fruit wine and served it with a good meal, and then took out the smoked rabbit meat, dried fish and other things at home. After all, he finally got permission. Five deer skins were changed to two deer skins, five rabbit skins, and ten pheasant feathers were also changed to five.

However, it is required to hand it over to the county government office as soon as possible before the beginning of winter, otherwise the consequences will be borne by yourself.

The husband's scar face knows what it means to bear the consequences. In recent years, not only has the labor service flourished, but also has tight taxes. There are many levies in local government offices. People who cannot pay the money will be caught in the county office and shackles.

The first time I was shackled for one day, but the second time I couldn’t get it, so I had to beat a board and then shackled for three days.

People call it fried pork with bamboo shoots and tiger shackles. Most people can't hold on for a few times. By the third time, not only do they have to be beaten and wear shackles, but they even have to stand on the cage. The cage is very narrow and people are locked inside, curled up and cannot bend and stretched. No one can stand on the cage and stay alive for more than three days.

Although Zhao San was just a gangster in the county yard, no one dared to doubt his words.

Scarface is a hunter, and he usually has to hand over some prey muscles, bones, fur, etc. to the yamen. Now, at this time, he also requires two deer skins, five rabbit skins and five pheasant feathers, which really makes Scarface embarrassed.

In order not to eat bamboo shoots and wear tiger shackles, he went up the mountain on the third day of his wedding.

I often go home for several days, stay overnight and then hurried into the mountain, but after so long, I only got five rabbit skins.

Two deer skins were hunted, and only one deer got one.

The five pheasant feathers requested have not been collected yet.

It is difficult to find a deer, and it is difficult to get the feathers of a pheasant.

Pheasant feathers are only available for those male pheasants, and the pheasant feathers required by the yamen also have a length standard, so they must be available for those wild pheasants. Only one such feather can be obtained from a pheasant.

And such wild roosters are the hardest to hunt.

It is difficult to buy it and submit the recharge mission if you can't hunt, because it's not just him who gets such a task. Many hunters have the tasks laid out in the county. Nowadays, not only is it hard to find a deer skin, but also a feather of a pheasant. There are hunters who go into the mountains to hunt.

Seeing that there was not much time left after winter, the deer and pheasant were even harder to hunt, Luo Lian'er was also secretly worried about her husband.

"Lian Niang, isn't Scar back yet?" A woman's voice came from the house. This was Lian'er's mother-in-law. She is now sick and bedridden. She usually has to take care of her food, drink, defecation and urination.

My father-in-law was bitten to death by a leopard when he went to the mountain to hunt in the early years, so he picked up a few bones. The scar on her husband's face was also bitten that time. At that time, the father-in-law came to the mountain to hunt in the mountain to meet a hungry leopard. In the end, her father-in-law tried his best to let his son escape.

Her husband Zhao Cauer originally had three older brothers, but he had already separated from his family. The three sisters were married, and the family was not easy, so it was rare to come back.

"Mom, I haven't returned yet. It's been three days since I entered the mountain this time. I guess I'll come back today and tomorrow."

"It's not long before the beginning of winter, but now deer and pheasants are becoming more and more difficult to hunt, and I don't know how to survive this winter. Yesterday, I heard my neighbor's fifth mother-in-law say that if I can't hand over the task this year, I will be arrested and go to Hebei to dig a canal." The mother-in-law sighed as she said.

Lian Niang's face was also dark when she heard this. Her fifth brother went to Hebei to dig a canal after entering the summer. She has not yet added her to the top. Xiao Wu was just sixteen and was so young that she went to such a faraway place to work. I don't know if it's okay now.

Just as I was thinking, I heard someone knocking on the door outside.

"San Sister, third sister, are you at home?"

When Lian Niang heard the voice, she knew that the youngest fifth sister in the family had arrived. She quickly put down her things, "Little sister, why are you here? But what happened to the family?"

He quickly stepped forward and opened the wooden door of the courtyard, but saw that there was a man holding a horse outside the door besides the little sister.

"Sister, I haven't seen you for three months, so don't recognize your younger brother?"

Luo Feng greeted with a smile.

Luo Lian'er was still stunned. The young man in front of him was indeed his fifth brother, but he looked a little different. He stood up straight and dressed neatly, especially his eyes were filled with an indescribable feeling.

In an instant, she felt that this younger brother had grown up.

"Are you back?"

"Well, I just came back yesterday, and all eight people who went with me in the village have returned."

"It's good to come back, it's good to come back." Luo Lian'er quickly looked at her brother up and down, fearing that she would lose one piece.

"Sister, I came in a hurry and didn't bring anything, so I brought Sandou Sugu."

This was what Luo Feng asked Luo's mother to take when he came. At the beginning, the family had no choice but to marry her daughter. Now that the situation at home is getting better, Luo Feng asked Luo Feng to bring Sandou Su to his third daughter's house to see her.

"What does this mean?" Luo Lian'er was a little puzzled.

"Sister, look at this big dark horse. This is just bought by the fifth brother. It cost ten cents of money." The fifth sister said as if she was offering treasures.

Luo Lian'er looked at the horse and was surprised. Her younger brother actually bought a horse, which was ten cents of money?

"Brother, what's going on with this horse?"

Luo Feng smiled and simply told him how he met thieves on the way home, how he met his cousin Qin Qiong, how he captured the bandits and saved the county magistrate's daughter and finally received the reward.

"Oh my God, it's all true?"

"Well, it's all true. The rewards received this time and the thank-you gift from the county magistrate for a few dozen coins of money were exchanged. Moreover, the county magistrate asked me to go to the yamen to be a constable. The regular constable of the fast-paced class will report in a few days."

Luo Lian'er was like a dream. She didn't expect that the fifth brother would come back and she would have such an opportunity.

"Sister 3, my mother and sister-in-law have discussed it. When you get married, our family has no choice but to let you leave empty-handed. I really owe you. The family is in a better situation now, so we decided to get you a dowry and make up a dowry of ten cents for each of you and your fourth sister. If you need anything, we will purchase it according to your needs."
