Aiya mother. The big brother really has not spoken incorrectly, Brother Daheng, you live polished, is really the suitable child fortunate.” 毛问智大步流星地走进来,粗声大气地道:“这位就是大亨兄弟吧？哎呀妈呀。大哥还真是没说错,大亨兄弟,你生得珠圆玉润,果然是宜子多福之相啊。” Luo Daheng: „......” 罗大亨:“……” Mao Wenzhi did not look on as an outsider to pat his shoulder, careless said/tunnel: „my name is Mao, Mao Wenzhi, is the big brother Ye good brothers, you later called me Old Mao on the line.” 毛问智毫不见外地拍了拍他的肩膀,大大咧咧地道:“俺姓毛,毛问智,也是叶大哥的好兄弟,你以后叫俺老毛就行。” Luo Daheng: „......” 罗大亨:“……” The entrance, Yaoyao stands on the cowl calls crisp said: „Fuwa!” 门口,遥遥站在车辕上脆生生地唤道:“福娃儿！” Fuwa slides from the giant shoulder, jump and jumps flees to the carriage by.

In the throat sends out low roaring, frightens several young girls and one group of children is screaming fleeing to the wilderness. 大个子弯腰看了看店内货架之间狭窄的道路,挠了挠头皮,放弃了跟进来的打算。这时已经有许多百姓围拢过来,对它指指点点。大个了不耐烦起来,冲着他们呲了呲牙。喉咙里发出一声低低的咆哮,吓得几个少女和一群孩子尖叫着落荒而逃。 Zhao Wenyuan stands by the car(riage), smiles is looking in the shop this. Window curtains is raising, reveals Qian Qingqing that charming inborn face. The wonderful item of class/flow hopes, glances to the shop gently, put down window curtains slowly...... 赵文远站在车旁,微笑着看着店内这一幕。窗帘儿掀着,露出潜清清那张妩媚天生的面孔。妙目流盼,向店内轻轻一瞟,又慢慢放下了窗帘儿…… Their this walks very smoothly, the original estimate the morning can arrive at Hu county the day after tomorrow. Did not think to arrive today, after entering a city, Ye Xiaotian is directing the carriages and horses familiar and easy. When across cross avenue after the Luo Daheng general store, then sees the old friend exactly. 他们这一路走得很是顺畅,原估计后天早上才能到葫县。不想今日就到了,进城后,叶小天轻车熟路地指挥着车马。穿过十字大街时恰好经过罗大亨的杂货铺,便来见一见故人。 Two people chatted several simply, because some words are working as so many inconvenient opens the mouth, Ye Xiaotian access road/simply said: „Daheng, has been tested Juren (graduate) for the brother, Commissioner veiled yamen (government office) favors, recommending is Hu county Code of History, the outside also friend, is new this county relay station deputy, both of us first go to the county administration registration, then talked about old days with you again.” 两人简单地聊了几句,因为有些话当着这么多人不便开口,叶小天便道:“大亨,为兄已考中举人,蒙布政使衙门抬举,荐为葫县典史,外面还有一位朋友,乃是新任本县驿丞,我们两人先去县衙报到,回头再与你叙旧。” Daheng one hear of busy say/way: „Big brother, I go with you!” 大亨一听忙道:“大哥,我跟你去！” Daheng runs up to behind the counter in a hurry, pulls out a book bag to conduct the arm toward the shoulder from the counter, runs. Ye Xiaotian looked his book bag is bulging, two continuously, being able help smiling said/tunnel: „Do you also carry the book bag?” 大亨匆匆跑到柜台后面,从柜台底下掏出一个书包往肩上一挎,又跑出来。叶小天一看他那书包鼓鼓囊囊的,不由两眼一直,忍俊不禁地道:“你还背着书包呢？” Daheng grins to say with a smile: „I carried for a while, felt that held any east and west to be very convenient, used compared with the pouch worn at the girdle fortunately, I have carried. Hehe, inside this was not the brick, except for eating, some disintegration silver coins, holding were more convenient than on the body.” 大亨咧嘴笑道:“我背了一阵儿吧,感觉揣啥东西挺方便的,比褡裢还好用,我就一直背着了。嘿嘿,这里边不是砖头了,除了吃的,还有一些散碎银两,比揣在身上方便。” Ye Xiaotian looked at his the clear hippopotamus general full is the waist of fat fat, the approval nods day after day.

I one see you two to stick in the same place.” 叶小天对大亨道:“妞妞已经嫁给你了么？我一来就看到你们两个黏在一起。” Daheng swings the fat face, chin trembles: „Yeah! If gets married were good, now, the sweet little girl is the waiter who I hire.” 大亨把胖脸一摇,下巴一阵哆嗦:“哎！要是成了亲就好了,现在吧,妞妞算是我雇的伙计。” Ye Xiaotian strange say/way: „Waiter? The general store of their family/home?” 叶小天奇道:“伙计？她们家的杂货铺不开了？” Daheng said: „Opening, my was not the high price dug the corner.” 大亨道:“开着呢,我这不是出高价挖了墙角么。” Ye Xiaotian stared in a big way the eye, said: „Digs the corner?

If in your shop also lacks the waiter, I resign am not dry, is the waiter to go to you.” 叶小天叹道:“我做典史,月俸才四石。如果你店里还缺伙计,我就辞职不干了,给你当伙计去。” Daheng said with a smile dry/does: „ Big brother, do not play my joke, does my have the means? In the past few days I turned round to wipe the foot to probe my father's meaning, my father's meaning looks for a properly matched woman to me, sweet little girl that family background...... he will not comply. 大亨干笑道:“大哥,你就别开我玩笑了,我这不是没办法么？前些天我拐弯抹脚地试探过我爹的意思,我爹的意思是给我找一个门当户对的女人,妞妞那出身……他是不会答应的。 Therefore I think that first was the true couple with the sweet little girl, best even the children live, when the time comes has a chubby very lovable child to hug my father's neck, calls his grandfather in a baby voice, I do not believe him not to accept the sweet little girl. Hey! Hehe...... ” 所以我就想啊,先跟妞妞做了真正夫妻,最好连孩子都生下来,到时候有个胖乎乎很可爱的小孩子搂着我爹的脖子,奶声奶气地唤他爷爷,我就不信他不接受妞妞。嘿！嘿嘿……” Daheng is narrowing the eye, a very sinister appearance said. Ye Xiaotian said suddenly: „! Originally have you and sweet little girl been the true couple?” 大亨眯着眼睛,一副很阴险的模样说。叶小天恍然道:“啊！原来你和妞妞已经做了真正夫妻？” The surface melon face of Daheng breaks down, dejected said/tunnel: „Also no, the sweet little girl said that only if I am properly married with her, has done obeisance Tian Di (Heaven and Earth), is willing with my nuptial chamber. Otherwise, gave up any idea of that bumps her. Yeah! I clamp the mouse in bellower, hard to satisfy both sides!” 大亨的面瓜脸又垮下来,垂头丧气地道:“还没呢,妞妞说,除非我跟她明媒正娶,拜过天地,才肯跟我洞房。否则,休想碰她。哎！我是夹在风箱里的老鼠,两头为难啊！” The Ye Xiaotian sympathy patted his shoulder, sighed: „We are really pair of fellow sufferers!” 叶小天同情地拍了拍他的肩膀,叹息道:“咱们还真是一对难兄难弟！” The Daheng great happiness, said: „Big brother also had the person of admiring, can actually 't marry?” 大亨大喜,道:“大哥也是有了心仪之人,却娶不到么？” Ye Xiaotian Nie his eyes said: „What do you make happily?” 叶小天乜了他一眼道:“你这么开心做什么？” Daheng grinning said/tunnel: „No, I thought all of a sudden comforted.” 大亨笑嘻嘻地道:“没什么,我只是一下子觉得安慰了许多。” Ye Xiaotian snort/hum, asked ill-humoredly: „How you also spin in the general store daily, the post road transportation is the lucrative big business, don't you handle?” 叶小天没好气地哼了一声,问道:“你怎么还天天在杂货铺里打转,驿路运输才是财源滚滚的大生意,你都不打理么？” Daheng said with a smile: „Who said that I don't handle? However you look at my physique, can the following motorcade rush about all day long? This matter, I gave Gao Ya and Li Bahao am responsible.” 大亨笑道:“谁说我不打理？不过你看我这身板儿,能成天跟着车队东跑西颠么？这件事,我交给高涯和李伯皓负责了。” Ye Xiaotian is pressed the brow saying: „You drop completely, did not fear that they collaborate to be built on stilts you, so that power has fallen into the hands of others?” 叶小天蹙起眉头道:“你完全放手,就不怕他们联起手来架空你,以致大权旁落？” Daheng feeling pleased said/tunnel: „How possibly?

Hehe, their two, look like the enemy of previous generation, daily fights ! Also does not know that today they fight not to have, really made one anticipate......” 大亨喜孜孜地道:“怎么可能？帐我管着,钱我管着,这就掐住了他们的命门了。而且,他们两个能联起手来？除非太阳从西边出来！嘿嘿,他们两个,就像是前世的冤家,天天掐架,啊！也不知今天他们又打架没有,真是令人期待啊……” Ye Xiaotian: „......” 叶小天:“……” * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ In the mountain, a dry river bed calmly lies down under the sunlight, the silt quick cracked the fist big opening under the insolation of hot sun. The front has the dike that builds together, stopped up the river water of upstream, the Qingqing river water little Qu class/flow that drew out from the both sides went slowly. 山里面,一条干涸的河床静静地躺在阳光下,淤泥在烈日的曝晒下很快就裂出了拳头大的口子。前方有一道垒起的堤坝,堵住了上游的河水,清清的河水从两侧引出的小渠缓缓流去。 This river called the Laodao River, the river water usually the depth to be about two zhang (3.33 m), but even if now were intercepted by the dike, water depth still three chi (0.33 m). On dike, dozens robust man back and forth patrolling dagger-axe that holds the bamboo lance and long blade. 这条河叫捞刀河,河水平时深度有两丈左右,可是现在即便是被堤坝截住,水深也不过三尺有余。堤坝上,几十个持竹矛、佩长刀的壮汉来回地巡戈着。 Suddenly, the downstream direction has one group of people to walk in a threatening manner, on the dike the robust man of patrolling dagger-axe occupies a commanding position to see the form of that group of people, immediately sounded the copper gong, some people dashes to the both sides along that pilot little Qu, while height scattered the bamboo buildings cluster to the level area yells loudly: „Li Village snatches the water, comes the person quickly, Li Village snatches the water!” 忽然,下游方向有一群人气势汹汹地走过来,堤坝上巡戈的壮汉居高临下看见那群人的身影,立即咣咣地敲响了铜锣,有人一边沿着那条引水的小渠向两侧飞奔,一边向山坳里高矮错落的竹楼群高声叫喊起来:“李家寨抢水来啦,快来人呐,李家寨抢水来啦！” The moment time, wells up large numbers of robust men from the both sides village, grasps the sword and spear club and broach bamboo lance, gathers on the dike to be ready in full battle array. 片刻功夫,从两侧村寨里涌来大批壮汉,手持刀枪棍棒、铁叉竹矛,聚拢到堤坝上严阵以待。 The mountain of the world, gathers in Yunnan and Guizhou, extends ten thousand li (0.5 km) continually, the border day is limitless. Therefore the Guizhou province fields are the terraced field, the terraced field on the mountain, but on the mountain is the rain waterlogging, does not have the rain dry, therefore this terraced field also became „field " left to heaven "”, is true depending on nature for a livelihood. 天下之山,萃于云贵,连亘万里,际天无极。所以贵州的田多是梯田,梯田在山上,而山上是多雨则涝,无雨则旱,所以这梯田也就成了“望天田”,是真正的靠天吃饭。 Recently area Hu county the great drought, provided for the Laodao River of upstream Gao Village and downstream Li Village, the water depth reduced 67 times rapidly, but critical moment that the crops the earing up will soon be in the milk, therefore Gao Village interrupted the rivers, to guarantee the irrigation of their paddies. 近来葫县一带大旱,供养上游高家寨和下游李家寨的这条捞刀河,水深迅速降低了六七倍,而庄稼正是即将吐穗灌浆的关键时刻,于是高家寨就截断了河流,以保证他们田地的灌溉。 But this, situated in downstream Li Village do not say that irrigation fields water used, was the tap water became the difficult problem, by two borders to compete for water source, the conflict was getting more and more intense, this stream bank dug up built and built digging up, in competition of both sides does not know that has reconstructed several times. 可这一来,处于下游的李家寨不要说浇地用水了,便是饮用水都成了难题,是以两个寨子为了争夺水源,冲突越来越激烈,这条河堤扒了筑、筑了扒,在双方的争夺中不知已经重建了几次。 In order to preserve the water source, the Gao Village Organization strong labor force carries the weapon, day and night defends in the stream bank. Today obvious is the Li Village Organization troops struggles the water, Gao Village is ready in full battle array immediately. Gao Village few Stronghold master Gao Ya rush over, grasps a sword, coldly is looking under the mountain. 为了保住水源,高家寨组织壮劳力携带武器,日夜守在河堤上。今日显见是李家寨组织人马又来争水,高家寨立即严阵以待。高家寨少寨主高涯匆匆赶到,握着一口剑,冷冷地看着山下。 Under the mountain, leads that person who several hundred threatening robust men clash, Li Village few Stronghold master, „Luo Li tall” another in carriages and horses line of three owner, his old schoolmate and old buddy Li Bahao. 山下,率领数百名气势汹汹的壮汉冲过来的那个人,正李家寨少寨主,“罗李高”车马行三位东主中的另一位,他的老同学、老搭档李伯皓。 : Before dawn, asked the monthly ticket and recommendation ticket to you honestly!( To be continued..) :凌晨,向您诚求月票、推荐票！(未完待续。。)
