Lao Heipi Cai Quanwu was carrying a pig intestine in his hand, and walked listlessly on the way home.

He is full of regret now. Why do he say hello to Cai Mengzi and say a few words? Don’t you know that Cai Mengzi is a bandit? It’s so good now that he’s causing trouble.

When Wang Biao attacked Lao Hei Pi, Lao Hei Pi was really scared, afraid of being arrested by the Jing'an Army's high-ranking official as a bandit. Speaking of which, the bloody head of the largest bandit in Jishou was hung on the city wall for a whole month! The face that was so majestic and domineering in the past was only horror on it at that time.

In the past, Lao Heipi was in front of this man, but he didn't dare to raise his head. Now, the guy was pressed to the ground like a chicken by Tang Jun. With just a knife, his head rolled out a long way and then he was hung up.

Lao Hei Pi was quite happy at that time. He still remembered that one year he was begging for food and was chased by this dog!

I dare not have any connection with the bandits!

The government is pretty good now. I helped me build a house and distributed land. A few days ago, the county magistrate also gave me a big meal. During the Chinese New Year, I couldn’t even have that meal!

Now the house is buried under the bed at home, and the rice jar is full of rice. Speaking of which, this autumn harvest is still a bumper harvest! The family has collected 2,000 kilograms of millet and paid the government a tax of 500 kilograms, and there are still 1,500 kilograms left. Six taels of millet are produced per kilogram, and 1,500 kilograms of millet can produce 900 kilograms of rice!

When he first harvested, a businessman came to collect it, but Lao Hei Pi did not sell it. Now he did some odd jobs, and the government summoned them to work on the construction site, and they earned cash every day. Compared with the past, they were not short of money. The food had to be saved. What if there was something wrong? Nine hundred kilograms of rice could be served for him for several years!

I don’t dare to eat rice every day. It’s great to eat it once a day. I put rice bran and wild vegetables in it, and I can keep my stomach full.

Lao Heipi has his own plan.

I didn’t dare to count on my wife’s affairs before, but now I can count on it. These rice can be sold at a better price when it is next spring. If you want to talk about a wife, it is not OK to have a bride price of ten cents. Next year, you can save enough ten cents of money.

At that time, we can talk about marriage. There is no hope for the Yellow Flower Boudoir, but the widow can still talk about it. Lao Heipi is optimistic about the widow with a baby in Niutou Village, who is also a diligent person. Niutou Village is not far from Wajiao Village where he lives, and they know each other well.

The widow's man was captured by the county magistrate to defend the city when the Tang army attacked Jishou last year and shot him to death with an arrow. Now he is an orphan and widowed mother, life is very difficult.

Everything is developing in a positive direction, why do you want to provoke Cai Mengzi?

That's a ruthless person. Others don't know him, Cai Mengzi, but as a distant relative, I still don't know him? When it comes to it, I have to call him a cousin!

I really lost my heart after eating lard!

He sighed along the way, and remembered what Wang Biao had told him, and was even more worried. If he couldn't do it well and offends the commander, he was afraid that his life would be difficult.

There was a rustling sound in the grass next to him. Lao Heipi was startled and reached out to touch the stick around his waist. The land was not peaceful earlier, and it had become a habit to carry a stick around his waist. Before the stick was pulled out, Lao Heipi saw someone standing in front of him. His face changed.

I am really afraid of anything I am. Cai Mengzi is actually standing in front of me.

"No!" Cai Mengzi shouted in a low voice.

"Mengzi, what are you doing? Why haven't you been back yet?" Cai Quanwu said in surprise.

Cai Mengzi looked around and said, "I was going to go back, but there was no salt at home. I wanted to buy some, but when I saw that I had to register my name for buying salt, and there were many people. I wanted to register a fake name, but when I saw that there were many people, I was afraid that there were people who recognized me, so I didn't dare to go there. Do you still have salt at home? I'll give you money and you can make it even."

"Why are you not afraid of others recognizing you when you work on the construction site?" Cai Quanwu said angrily.

"I saw it. No one recognized me in the place where I work, but I didn't expect you to be where you went!" Cai Mengzi said: "After such a long construction site, I won't be so lucky. And if I cover my face with a piece of cloth that pretends to be covered with dust, it won't attract attention. Why don't everyone do this?"

"Let's go, let's talk about it later." Cai Quanwu remembered what Wang Biao told him, and felt a move in his heart, pulled Cai Mengzi and left.

Half an hour later, Cai Mengzi stood at the door of Lao Heipi's house.

"Is this your home?" Cai Mengzi said suspiciously. The adobe wall is covered with thatch and tree stumps. Although it is still very simple, it is better than the chaotic house with air leakage on all sides and rain leakage on the roof of Lao Hei Pi.

"Didn't the government let us all move out of the mountains? This was built by the government." After taking the key and opening the lock, Lao Heipi led Cai Mengzi into the door. "We two haven't seen each other for almost two years, right? We just bought a pair of pigs today, so we can have a good time. Come and make the fire, I'll clean it."

When the pig goes into the water, the richer people at home refuse to eat it. Only people like Lao Hei Pi are willing to eat it. After cleaning it and handling it, the taste will be smaller. Is that meat?

There are cinnamon, star anise and bay leaves at home, and there are many peppercorns. Cut the pig intestine into pieces and throw it in, then carry a salt jar, scooped a few large spoons of salt and threw it in. Cai Mengzi's eyes were green when he was burning.

"Why do you spend so much salt?" Cai Mengzi snatched the salt jar and looked at the salt jar with half of the jar of salt inside, and felt distressed.

"If the pig's water tastes less severe, it's not delicious! Besides, salt is not expensive now." Lao Heipi suddenly realized that for those who live outside the mountain, salt is indeed very cheap, but for people like Cai Mengzi who hide in Tibet, salt is a rare thing, because the government is blocking the mountains with great force, salt is one of them.

After sighing, Lao Heipi sat next to Cai Mengzi at the entrance of the stove: "Mengzi, life in the mountains is not easy, right? Sister-in-law, nieces and nieces are all okay?"

Cai Mengzi lowered his head and said for a while: "Your little niece was sick when Chunshang was in trouble. She was gone. The family now has no food. Otherwise, how could I go down the mountain to work and earn money to buy some food when I was beheaded? Your two nephews are having a long meal!"

Cai Mengzi was only in his thirties when he got married. His oldest child is only eight or nine years old.

"At this time, you have to eat well, otherwise it will be difficult to look like me!" Lao Heipi said half-jokingly.

Cai Mengzi was unintentional to joke.

"Mengzi, haven't you ever thought about going down the mountain? The government is really good now!" Lao Heipi said: "Look, I have a house, I can eat salt and meat. I have rice in the rice jar and there are thousands of kilograms of millet in the warehouse. I never dared to think about the days like this before."

"I have been a bandit and killed people!" Cai Mengzi shook his head and said, "When you go down the mountain, there is only one way to die."

"If you continue like this now, isn't it a dead end?" Lao Heipi said: "Not only are you a dead end, but you will also have to implicate your sister-in-law, nephew, and nieces. They are all beautiful."

Cai Mengzi sighed, "What can I do? I asked your sister-in-law to come out with the dolls, but she refused, and the two dolls cried loudly. Your sister-in-law said that everyone would die together. There was no way, so I went down the mountain, thinking that if I was caught and killed by the Tang people, they would be willing to come out. If I couldn't catch it, I could make money and buy food and salt."

Lao Heipi looked at him for a while before saying, "Do you really don't know about you guys coming down the mountain?"

Cai Mengzi was shocked and stared at Lao Heipi: "You, what do you mean?"

Cai Mengzi glared at her eyes, and Lao Heipi was a little scared. With Cai Mengzi's body, he could pick him up and throw him away with one hand.

"We all have registered our work on the construction site, and we are all in the household registration book. When you work on the first day, the government will know who you are!" Lao Heipi said.

Cai Mengzi was stunned for a while: "Why didn't they come to arrest me?"

Lao Heipi smiled and said, "Mengzi, let me tell you the truth. People have found your details clearly and have come to me."

Cai Mengzi jumped in and rushed to the door.

"Why are you running? If someone wants to catch you, you will easily catch you on the construction site. Wait until this time?" Lao Heipi stood up, uncovered the lid of the pot, and the rich fragrance spread in the small house.

"What do they want to do?"

"The official said, if you meet you again, let me tell you not to hide and go down the mountain, otherwise your life will be even worse in winter and will freeze to death." Lao Heipi said, "I also said that as long as you are willing to go down the mountain, you will build a house and give you land. As long as you farm and work honestly from now on, the past will be eliminated."

"What do they really say?" Cai Mengzi said half-believingly.

"What else can I do? I really want to catch you, can you still do work here for such a long time?" Lao Heipi spread his hands and said. "If the government doesn't look for you directly, it's just that it's afraid of scaring you. So when I meet you again, I will tell you this. I never thought you would come to me first."

"I've been a bandit."

"If we really want to talk about it, there are not many people in our Jishou who have never been a bandit." Lao Heipi smiled.

"I've killed anyone!"

"When two sides fight, if you don't kill me, I will kill you. What's there to say?"

"How do you know this?"
