Chapter 23: Shepherd outside the Great Wall

Song Laosheng was really interesting. He chose forty of the fattest sheep and drove out Zhang Bairen. Then, with a group of soldiers, a group of people hurriedly came to Zhang Bairen’s house not far away and started to build a sheep pen in a place like outside the Great Wall. , Who cares about your land ownership.
　　 All the soldiers are very interesting. After finishing the sheep pen at the entrance of the village, they left immediately. They did not dare to go to the village to disturb them. Looking at the sickly little Shura and the little killer, the one who dared to find himself uncomfortable.
　　 Forty sheep is definitely a great wealth in the Sui Dynasty, and Zhang Bairen has also begun to enter the ranks of local tyrants.
　　 "Mother, I'm back" Zhang Bairen pushed open the courtyard door.
　　 "What is General Yu asking you to do?" Mother Zhang weaving a straw mat, raised her head and glanced at Zhang Bairen, then lowered her head to continue weaving. Zhang Xiaocao on one side sat next to Mother Zhang, looking interesting.
　　 "The general invited me to have breakfast and passed on some martial arts skills" Zhang Bairen smiled and sat beside Zhang mother.
　　 "Why is the village entrance so noisy?" Zhang Mu said.
　　 "General Yu sent me forty sheep and put them at the entrance of the village to build a sheep pen," Zhang Bairen said casually.
　　 "How many?" Mother Zhang was taken aback.
　　 "Forty" Zhang Bairendao.
Mother Zhang was taken aback, dropped the straw mat in her hand, and immediately got up and walked towards the entrance of the village. Zhang Bairen followed closely. At this time, men, women and children in the village had long been watching the flock of sheep talking and talking together and muttering something. .
"You said this flock of sheep was given to you by General Yujuluo?" Mother Zhang looked at the flock of sheep and turned to look down at Zhang Bairen. The words of Mother Zhang were also heard by everyone around him. Full of surprise.
　　 "Exactly" Zhang Bairen nodded.
　　 "Coaxing" the crowd instantly exploded, chattering all over, asking everywhere.
Taking a look at the people who were full of surprises, Mother Zhang dragged Zhang Bairen home and looked at Zhang Bairen: "This sheep can't be taken. The general accepts you as a disciple. I can value you. We didn't offer the apprenticeship. How can we ask for it again? General's stuff."
　　 Zhang Xiaocao looked at Zhang Bairen with admiration in his eyes. Even if Zhang Xiaocao was young, he knew the concept of forty sheep.
"Mother, since the general gave it, I won't take it back. The general said that I have extraordinary qualifications and are worth the cost. We will take advantage of this. We will find the opportunity to repay the general in the future. Besides, let's talk about the child's future martial arts, what if there is no meat? "Yes" Zhang Bairen's words are clear: "These forty sheep are a wealth for us, but for the general, they are nothing but a meal in the city. The general respects me and draws me in. If I give Going back, that is not knowing good or bad."
　　 "You..." After listening to Zhang Bairen's words, Zhang's mother immediately lost her mind.
Zhang Bairen smiled: "Mother, the general promised to come down. When the Sui army retreats, the villagers in our village will be allowed to follow and return to the pass. The general promised to protect us. In the future, General Yu will be our backer. To be honest, these forty sheep It's just a small favor, and the child may not really be in the eye."
　　 Mother Zhang sighed softly when she heard the words, and stroked Zhang Bairen's forehead: "You child has great ambitions, and I am very happy for my mother! Now that you have a sense of reason and understand human relationships, then listen to you."
　　 "Big sister, the forty sheep at the entrance of the village were sent to you by the general?" Uncle Zhang's rough voice came from the door.
　　While talking, Uncle Zhang walked into the yard, but refused to enter the house. After all, there are many disputes in front of widows in women's houses.
　　 "It was sent by General Yu" Mother Zhang smiled.
"I've heard about the village entrance. Bairen is really promising. In the future, our village will definitely have a big and earth-shattering man." Uncle Zhang looked at Zhang Bairen with pride in his eyes. This is his son-in-law. To save face, the waist when walking in the village will be much straighter.
　　 "Boy, I will let the sheep go for you in the future." Uncle Zhang looked at Zhang Bairen: "You can concentrate on martial arts, so you can become a general in the future."
　　 "My son is not to be a general, my son is to be a prime minister." Mother Zhang glared at Uncle Zhang and walked into the house.
Zhang Bairen shook his head: "No, I'll do it myself. Uncle Zhang has to find a living every day. I have a barracks to take care of, but I don't have to worry about my livelihood. From now on, Uncle Zhang can squeeze a bowl of goat's milk for Xiaocao every day. The girl makes up for it."
　　 "Well, anyway, this girl will be from your family sooner or later" Uncle Zhang smiled.
　　 Zhang Bairen tightened his shirt, and amidst the discussion in the village, one day passed by.
　　 As soon as it broke the next day, I heard Song Laosheng's rough voice from the village entrance: "Little sir, I have ordered the general to bring you milk."
　　 "It's too early" Zhang Bairen looked at the dark sky outside, got up from the bed and began to put on clothes.
　　 Mother Zhang chuckled: "General Yu is good enough to you, don't be ungrateful in the future."
"Baby got it." Zhang Bairen lit the oil lamp, pushed open the door, and a cold wind blew in. He shivered involuntarily. Looking at the light at the entrance of the village, Zhang Bairen shook the lantern in his hand. Song Laosheng understood the meaning and held it. The lantern came over.
　　 "Mr., your house was here before" Song Laosheng smiled.
　　 "You, come here every day and put down the milk. Don't shout loudly, it will make the village uneasy." Zhang Bairen smiled bitterly.
　　 "I only know your family today" Song Laosheng brought the milk over, Zhang Bairen smiled, took the milk, Song Laosheng didn't say much, turned and left.
　　 When Zhang Bairen walked into the house, Zhang's mother was already dressed and was washing.
　　 Zhang Bairen put down the milk: "Mother, this milk is going to be hot. You don't need to eat breakfast anymore, it's enough for our mothers to drink."
　　 "You child, the general gave you the milk, how can my mother drink it?" Mother Zhang glared at Zhang Bairen, but the candlelight was dark, and Zhang Bairen couldn't see clearly.
　　 "This milk is a lot, and I can't finish it myself. I will have milk every day from now on. If I drink it every day, I will be bored. You have weak bones and need to make up." Zhang Bairen looked at Mother Zhang.
　　 Mother Zhang took the milk and glanced at Zhang Bairen: "I can't finish it this time. Drink it next time!"
"Mother, the milk will be broken if you put it in for a long time." Zhang Bairen flipped through the book in his hand: "Mother, don't be polite, you mother, you are polite. Drinking milk can beautify and moisturize your skin. The cold makes my skin dry easily. Mother has not been easy to pull me over these years. Now I should enjoy it. Our days are not comparable to the past. Not only do we have to be full, but we must also eat well!"
　　 Zhang Bairen's words are plain~EbookFREE.me~ But Zhang's mother is standing there with moist eyes, but Zhang Bairen can't see it.
　　 "Okay, mother will listen to you! You are grown up now" Mother Zhang sighed softly and started to catch fire.
Zhang Bairen flipped through the books in his hand, listening to Zhang’s mother’s voice changed slightly, and her thoughts flowed. His mother was familiar with poems and books, literate and hyphenated, and her identity must be unusual. Knowing how to fall to Saibei, such a beautiful woman did not have an accident, which is considered a miracle.
　　 Zhang Bairen didn’t know that Zhang’s mother was fine, but thanks to Uncle Zhang.
"Now that my life is on the right track, the next step is to consider the issue of cultivation. If I don't find the strange material for forging a long sword, I am afraid that my cultivation will be difficult to break through. It is good to say that if the realm of the future is high, it can be I’m in trouble.
Zhang Bairen remained silent, flipping through the books indifferently, not paying attention to the books in front of him.
　　The sky is getting brighter. Zhang Bairen drank milk and ate dry food. Finally, he didn't have to eat grassroots and bark. Although the dry food was equally unpalatable, Zhang Bairen was very satisfied. Dry food is dry food, not comparable to grassroots bark.
"From today onwards, I will be the shepherd of Saibei! Shepherding sheep outside the Great Wall is the lifelong wish of Qiao Feng and Azhu." Zhang Bairen put on his clothes, put on a cloak, and covered himself tightly, in the request of Mother Zhang , Walked out of the village.
"Shepherding sheep, living outside the Great Wall, I have been looking forward to it for a long time." Zhang Bairen had to admit that shepherding sheep outside the Great Wall, the sunset over the river, and the lonely smoke in the desert are the life he has been looking forward to for a long time. This is actually not only the wish of Qiao Feng and Azhu, but also It is his wish of Zhang Bairen.
　　 "If it is possible, I would rather stay here for the rest of my life than to mix with the killing and calculations of the Central Plains" Zhang Bairen let go of the sheepfold's door, and said silently in his heart.
