The fast horses galloped across the fields, the dry hot summer wind blew in our faces, and the field of vision was filled with greenery.

When we first arrived, the crops in the northern fields had already begun to wither.

But if there are no accidents, they will definitely wither until the sun goes down, once again announcing their tenacious vitality to people, and they will shine brightly into the night.

Liu Cang rode Xi Feng back to the village. Due to the persistence of the villagers, Liu Cang did not move his family to Dongshan. Usually there were villagers in Dongshan who took shifts, and with Xi Feng's distance, the journey of more than ten miles between the two places was not considered time-consuming.

With the entrance of the village in sight, the current area of ​​Lousang Village has expanded outward several times, and even the pond where Liu Cang raised turtles is included in the village.

The original fence of rattan has been turned into an earthen wall. Seeing the booming business of Taiping Road in Jizhou, Liu Cang even planned to suggest to the clan elders to build a stone-walled archery tower outside the village.

Because of Cai Yong's relationship, nearly a hundred young people in the village avoided the corvee for one month every year.

Under normal circumstances, if the emperor's conscription was to repair the Great Wall, local conscription was usually to build the city waterways of prefectures, counties or counties.

The young people in the village who escaped these corvees naturally would not stay at home to hide and relax. It was also repair and construction, but they devoted their time and energy to building their own villages.

Well, in addition to the village, it probably also includes the renovation and expansion of Liu Cang's house. After all, Cai Yong is still squatting there.

A five-meter-high earthen wall surrounds the village. It is not grand, but it is regular and simple, and it already has the prototype of a fort.

The roads in the village were more than twice as wide as two years ago. When Liu Cang rode his horse into the village, he encountered some carriage traders who were resting and leaving the village.

"Young Master, you are back." The war horse approached a large courtyard with tiled eaves, and a young man with a knife on his waist greeted Liu Cang from afar on the street opposite the courtyard.

"What's the big deal, you bastard, stop hanging around here and go to the mountain to help catch the chickens." Liu Cang got off his horse and said to the young man who was stuck in speech.

"Stop calling me a naughty boy. My name is Liu Maode now, the name given by Master Cai. We are on duty today." The young man said dissatisfiedly and patted the knife on his waist.

"Well, Maode's name is good. If you dare to try to trick me in the future, huh..." Liu Cang curled his lips, picked up the iron halberd on the side of the horse, turned over and dismounted, and shook his fist at Liu Maode.

When he was a child, he liked to come to the house to steal chickens, and Liu Cang beat him the most.

"What are you talking about? Didn't you agree not to mention it?" When Liu Cang mentioned the past, Liu Maode's face turned red and he subconsciously looked towards the courtyard door of Liu Cang's house while shouting.

"Okay, what are you afraid of? No one in the village knows about your little trouble. If you are thirsty, come home and drink water." No longer chatting with Liu Maode, Liu Cang led his horse into the open door.

Double doors made of fine wood, brick and stone courtyard walls, square courtyards, and the original wooden house in the home have also been renovated to make it more luxurious.

There were stables in the backyard. A giant, sturdy dog ​​in the courtyard waggled its tail and came toward Liu Cang. Several hens that were fatter than ordinary chickens suddenly flapped their wings and fled away.

Liu Cang patted the wind and let him rest in the stables. The giant dog was Da Ya, the hero's daughter-in-law. She stayed with Zhang Xiu Niang and Cai Yan on weekdays to ensure that the leaders in the village would stay away from them when they saw them.

.

The big, strong dog burrowed around Liu Cang's legs several times, making Liu Cang unable to walk. He rubbed its head and kicked it away.

In addition to the chickens raised on the mountain, Liu Cang also keeps about twenty hens at home. These hens are all of second-grade quality. They usually stay at home to lay eggs, and occasionally it is convenient to slaughter one.

Among the chickens raised by Liu Cang, only the fighting chicken has reached the third level. Because the second level spiritual marrow has not yet been harvested, ten first level spiritual marrows are fused with the second level. The fighting chicken consumes one hundred spiritual marrow to upgrade to the third level quality.

The upper limit of physical growth of third-level quality chicken has been increased to 140, and the growth probability is still low.

Liu Cang felt that it was not worthwhile to use the first-level spiritual essence to smash them. Although the system also contained thousands of first-level spiritual essences of small poultry, Liu Cang only smashed the chickens raised in the courtyard to the second level.

When the batch of chickens on the mountain is disposed of in another two months and the chickens are bought again, Liu Cang will try his best to upgrade those chickens.

Nowadays, the quality of Dongshan Dog and Neighing Feng is still at the first level. The giant dog soul that Dongshan Dog needs can only be obtained by themselves for the time being. Neighing Feng is because the horses have a long maturity period, and it will probably be harvested from the horses raised under the mountain next year.

Spiritual essence.

In two years, Liu Cang was basically the leader of the village, and his physique has only grown by more than ten points. Now he has a physique of 107/128 and is as strong as a strongman. There is no need to panic about many things, and there is no need to panic.

"Father? Xiu Niang? Where are you? What's the matter?" No one was seen after entering the hospital. Liu Cang placed the iron halberd on a low stand in the courtyard and walked towards the main room, shouting as he walked.

"What's the matter? Get your vicious dog away from home quickly. It's a bad luck thing and is an insult to gentlemen." Following Liu Cang's shouting, Cai Yong's scolding came from the house on the left side of the courtyard.

Liu Cang was shocked. Is this someone coming to the house again?

Well, after all, Daya is a guard dog and is close to the family, but when it comes to outsiders who dare to step into its "territory", it is a fierce force.

Han people do not like such vicious dogs, especially when friends come to visit. If such a vicious dog comes out, it is definitely a sign that the other party is not welcome.

Nowadays, Han people would not happily defend a dog when faced with such a situation, especially in front of a friend. It is considered a very rude thing.

Since the two big dogs have grown up, the heroes are fine, vicious, biting and not barking, and usually run around in the mountains.

But Daya couldn't survive. Several times people came to visit Cai Yong, but they were yelled at to the point of disgrace. Cai Yong almost broke out of his anger and chopped it into pieces several times.

"Where are Yan'er and Xiu Niang? You just don't get close to them, otherwise they would listen to you." Cai Yong has been having problems with Daya for a day or two. Liu Cang has long been used to his scolding, and he said to

Go to the house on the left.

The room on the left side of the courtyard was originally occupied by Cai Yong. Later, Liu Cang gave the main room to Cai Yong and lived here himself.

The house is simple, with a round table in the hall, surrounded by chairs, and a large iron cage placed on the table. Cai Yong is sitting at the table, playing with a piece of plant rhizome in his hand.

"Getting close to each other? What kind of dog is wrong to keep? It's such a stupid thing. I almost got overwhelmed by it several times."

"A descendant of Ziqian's family came here. The beast started barking. I'll let Ziqian know later and don't talk to me." Cai Yong put the rhizome in his hand on the table angrily.

"Let's see if it's what you want." Cai Yong said, but he didn't hold on to the matter.

At this time, Liu Cang had already run to the table in two steps. He ignored the rhizome and opened the iron cage with the coarse cloth cover.

There were four or five rat-like animals lying in the cage with a linen backing. They had pig noses and dog faces, and dark eyes that were not afraid of people. They blinked and looked at Liu Cang, then in a blink of an eye they lay down towards the cage mouth, as if they wanted to play with Liu Cang.
