Life in a quiet village in Xianshan

"Sure!"

Sicui immediately shouted and jumped up.

Hu Yanqiu also waved his fist.

Gu Siwei said: "It turns out that everyone wants to go back."

Sicui said: "I have wanted to go back for a long time. There is nothing here, and the place is too small. There are only a few steps from the door of the house to the door of the house. I count in my mind every day as I walk."

When Hu Yanqiu heard what his sister said, he smiled and said: "Okay, the factory house here is naturally small. Come back and clean up quickly, and we will leave directly."

"Wait until my parents come back?" Gu Siwei asked.

Hu Yanqiu said: "Write a note to them and see it when you get back. Besides, who knows whether they will come back or not. It might be midnight again today. Okay, let's pack our things."

Gu Siwei said: "Sicui, help me put my things away, and I'll go get the horse."

"Oh, I forgot about this. You go ahead and I'll clean it up for you. You don't have much anyway," Hu Yanqiu said.

Gu Siwei nodded and walked quickly to the door. As soon as he opened the door, he saw his brother-in-law Hu Yanping reaching out and preparing to push the door open.

"Brother-in-law, where are you going?" Hu Yanqiu immediately became energetic when he saw Gu Siwei was about to go out.

These days, when Gu Siwei goes out to eat something, this kid always follows him, and it becomes a conditioned reflex to go back and forth. When he sees Gu Siwei going out, he wants to follow him.

It's not that you don't give him money. If you give him money, he won't be able to eat anything good outside. Boys can't let go of their friends when they have three melons and two dates. But if you want to spend the money to eat breakfast alone for five or six people, you still have to eat something. So when Hu Yanping was full, he always ate with Gu Siwei.

"I went to get the horse, not to eat," Gu Siwei said.

"Get the horse?" Hu Yanping became more energetic.

Hu Yanqiu said to his brother at this time: "You also pack your things, we are ready to go home."

"What?" Hu Yanping was stunned.

If there is anyone who least wants to go back, it is naturally Hu Yanping. When he was here, he had friends to play with, and he didn’t have to study too hard. Learning is of course necessary. Compared with ordinary sheep herding children, Hu Yanping’s workload It can be said that it is still good, but how can any child not want to play at this time?

Thinking that when he returned to his brother-in-law's house, his life would be the same as before, Hu Yanping quit.

But he didn't dare to say it directly, saying something like "sister, I'm not going". Isn't that just asking for 24k, so Hu Yanping smiled and pretended to be happy to go back.

"Yeah!"

As soon as Gu Siwei saw the corner of his brother-in-law's mouth twitching, he knew that this boy was not willing to go back. To be honest, Gu Siwei really didn't want to take this boy back, but there was no way. Both his father-in-law and mother-in-law were working. Crazy, if you leave him here, it won't be a problem if he has one meal but no next meal.

Glancing at his brother-in-law, Gu Siwei said nothing and continued to do his own things while ignoring the boy.

He had just taken two steps when he heard Hu Yanqiu say to his younger brother: "Don't be careless about me. I don't know about your little thoughts. Go back to the house and pack your things honestly, and also pack your brother-in-law's things by the way." Sicui, Sicui, go and watch him, don't let him run away."

"Sister, I want to poop!"

The boy covered his stomach, thinking of using shit to escape, and turned around to run to the public toilet outside.

Hu Yanqiu said: "The bathroom is not locked."

As he spoke, Hu Yanqiu ran two steps and stretched out his hand to grab his brother's ear.

"Ouch, ouch, sister, I won't pull anymore." Hu Yanping immediately gave up.

Hu Yanqiu then let go of his brother's ears.

Not to mention the tossing between the siblings here, Gu Siwei walked slowly through several alleys, arrived at a place without people, and pulled two horses out of the space.

When they were first put into the space, the two horses were quite strong. When they were taken out, Gu Siwei felt that the two horses seemed a little strange.

What was strange about it, he couldn't tell at the moment.

After checking, I found that the two horses had no mutations. They had two eyes, two big nostrils, and four hooves. So I led the horses back.

There are two former army pack horses, one is yellow and the other is chestnut. The so-called fat character for yellow fat horse means yellow horse with white spots.

The white spots on the horse that the army sent Gu Siwei were all over the belly, dotted with white spots.

Needless to say, maroon is the most common color. The most straightforward understanding is that it is the color of chestnuts. Everyone knows this color and does not need to explain it.

As soon as he walked out of the alley, he met an acquaintance. He was a relative of Hu Yanqiu's family. He was a bit round and round. Gu Siwei just thought he looked familiar, but he forgot what to call him.

"Fourth dimension!"

"Hey, what are you doing?" Gu Siwei said pretendingly.

"I'm about to go to the small vegetable market outside. I have a visitor from my hometown and want to buy some fresh vegetables. Oh, where did you get this horse? It's so strong. Hey, this horse is well fed."

This man, who was about fifty years old, saw the two horses being led by Gu Siwei and reached out his hand to caress Li Zi's horse's nose.

With Gu Siwei's level of naming skills, everyone knows that the chestnut horse is called Lizi, and the yellow fat horse is called Dafa. You can understand it.

Xilulu!

Li Zi raised his head suddenly and reached out to bite the man's hand.

"Hey, this horse has a really good temper."

The man retracted his hand, took a step back, looked at the two horses and said with a smile.

"This is one that was eliminated by someone else's army. I just got it here less than a month ago, and I'm not very good at training it." Gu Siwei reached out and patted Chestnut to stop it from biting.

"Good horse, good horse!"

This man stood there and looked at it carefully for a while, then chatted with Gu Siwei for a few words, then went to buy groceries while humming a tune leisurely with his hands behind his back.

Gu Siwei led the horse and walked for several dozen meters, still wondering what generation this person was and what he should call him.

It's hard to guess the generation these days. There are grandfathers in their teens and nephews in their sixties. If you call them wrong, it will make people laugh.

Before I could figure out who this person was, I met him again. This time I met him face to face, but there was still a shadow.

They greeted each other one after another, the same as when they came, but now it may be because Gu Siwei was holding two horses in his hands. Those who could say hello originally, and those who didn't want to say hello, all came over to say hello to Gu Siwei and chat a few words. .

As a result, Gu Siwei had about twenty minutes longer to go home than when he arrived.

When Gu Siwei led the horse to the door, Sicui was already standing at the door, head stretched out and looking forward to it.

"Brother, why did you come back?!"

Seeing her brother coming back, Sicui complained loudly.

Gu Siwei smiled and replied: "I was just looking at the horses along the way. I wasted all my time on this. Okay, have you packed up everything? Pack up and let's go."

Gu Siwei said as he led the two horses to the door.

Hearing the noise outside, Hu Yanqiu walked out.

"Oh, these two horses are so strong."

When Hu Yanqiu saw these two horses, the first thing he felt was that they were strong, fat and strong, just like a person, with strong flesh all over their body, round but not soaked in flesh. a feeling.

"You've been eating well these days," Gu Siwei said with a smile.

As he said that, Gu Siwei remembered that his two horses had no saddles or pads at all, and his wife was uncomfortable sitting on them.

"Oops, I forgot to ask them for two pairs of saddles." Gu Siwei patted his head, feeling a little regretful.

Hu Yanping quarreled with his brother-in-law: "If I give you a horse, why don't I also give you a saddle?"

Gu Siwei looked at the boy for a moment, and then said: "Well, there's no need for that. Come on, you lead this horse, Sicui, and put all your things on the horse. Yanping is responsible for leading the horse. You sit on the horse and help him." Just hold something on. I'll hold the one your sister-in-law is sitting on."

In an instant, Gu Siwei trampled his brother-in-law into a groom.

"ah!"

Hu Yanping was a little dumbfounded.

Gu Siwei said: "Ah, what? There is no sleigh now. What will you do if you don't lead the horse?"

Gu Siwei looked at his brother-in-law who had a sad face and said with a straight face.

Seeing his younger brother's appearance, Hu Yanqiu smiled and said: "Your brother-in-law is teasing you. What kind of horse can you lead like this? It's not as tall as a horse."

When he heard this, Hu Yanping was a little unhappy. Sometimes it is difficult to figure out the character of a child at this age. When he heard this, he twisted his neck and said: "Who said I can't lead it? I just lead a horse."

With that said, he came to Gu Siwei's side and took the horse rein from Gu Siwei's hand.

Gu Siwei was really afraid that the boy would be bitten by the horse, because the two horses had already shown the intention of biting several times on the road.

Before he could say anything in a hurry, Hu Yanping had already taken the reins from his hand.

What surprised Gu Siwei was that the chestnut was very quiet in Hu Yanping's hands. Even when Hu Yanping reached out to touch it, it didn't have any excessive reaction. Instead, it lowered its head and gently stroked it. After touching the bridge of his nose, he nibbled Hu Yanping's back a few times with his own mouth.

This is the horse's gesture of showing affection, it is grooming you, and it is an emotional exchange between horses.

Since Li Zi won't bite his brother-in-law, Gu Siwei won't be too busy here. If he wants to lead the horse, just let him lead it. At worst, when he gets tired, he can just let him get on the horse.

So Gu Siwei first put the luggage of several people on the horse, and then helped his wife to get on the horse. As for Sicui, this girl didn't need anyone to help her. Chi Liu instantly climbed onto the horse's back. The nimble movements Like a monkey.

As soon as he left the factory and came to the road, Gu Siwei saw a green jeep stopping next to him.

"Gu Siwei!"

Gu Siwei looked at the jeep a little confused.

What got off the jeep was a little soldier, quite young, about 20 years old, older than Gu Siwei, but Gu Siwei didn't remember where he had seen this man before.

"You forgot, I am Shen Xiaobing next to Commander Li."

"Here I go, it turns out it's you. I'm so clean that I can't recognize you anymore." Gu Siwei then smiled.

The last time he saw Xiaobing Shen, he was wrapped in a military coat and dressed as if he was fleeing the famine. He was not the only one. Even Li Zhengda had the same look, rolling around in the ice and snow for half a month. Even Andy Lau You must have the temperament of Wang Baoqiang to recognize who is following whom.
