    Compared with his former residence in Hedong, there is no cramped Wubao in Nanyang County, and there is no noise from neighbors. The occasional crowing of cocks and barking of dogs are far away, and it feels very deserted.  The sky is gloomy today. Although the view here is wider than that of Wubao where he is accustomed to living in Hedong, Zhang Guo felt a little depressed when he pushed the door open. He looked back at the hut and frowned slightly.  Once you get used to the original lifestyle, you will be very uncomfortable with sudden changes and feel dissatisfied everywhere.  Even though Zhang Guo is a brave soldier, he still feels more secure in this troubled world by living in Wubao.  It¡¯s a pity that there is no Wubao in Nanyang.  ¡° Here, only a few counties near Cao Cao and Liu Biao have the government hire civilian workers to help build Wubao. It is estimated that it will be completed in the coming year. However, in places like Xi County, local residents can only contribute their own efforts. It takes only two or three years to complete it.  According to Zhang Guo¡¯s observation, these local Nanyang people are not very enthusiastic about building Wubao. They are procrastinating when starting work. He doesn¡¯t know how many more years he will live in this hut.  Shaking his head, Zhang Guo turned around and went to the stable, grabbed a few handfuls of hay and threw it into the wooden trough. He leaned against the trough and watched the bad horses at home chewing the hay.  Not long after, the two-year-old son started crying in the house with a loud voice, followed by the woman's voice rushing to the bedroom to coax him.  My son gets up very angry and makes a fuss every morning.  Zhang Guo frowned even more, but he was not patient. If he went to the house, he would just slap the kid on the butt a few times and bluff him with a stern face. Most of the time, it would be counterproductive and he would not scare the kid away.  The woman complained a few words, but at this time she just listened.  The woman's coaxing effect was good, and the child's crying turned into intermittent sobbing.  After the horse had finished grazing, Zhang Guo took out the saddle and harness from the side room and put it on the horse's back. Then he hung up his usual plain knife, touched his waist tag and put it on his belt, then rushed into the house and shouted: "I'm going to the county!"  A woman who was as young as Zhang Guo rushed out with her baby in her arms, shouting: "My son is crying, we haven't even cooked rice yet! You can lead my son to play. When you see it I will start cooking now, and then we can finish the meal."  "The child still didn't calm down. He cried even louder when he felt that the woman was about to deliver him to his father's hands.  He hugged his mother and refused to let go.  Judging from the appearance of this boy, it would take a while for breakfast to be ready. Zhang Guo said angrily, "It's just one meal!" Then he held the reins and was about to leave. The woman shouted anxiously: "Don't worry, there may be something wrong today."  Rain!" The woman returned to the house with the baby in her arms.  He dug out the two wheat cakes he had eaten yesterday, took his coir raincoat and bamboo hat and tucked them under his arm. He went out to catch up with Zhang Guo and stuffed the wheat cakes into the sack beside the saddle.  She struggled to hold the child, so Zhang Guo took the raincoat and bamboo hat, put it on the horse, and found straw rope to tie it up and fasten it tightly to the saddle to try to prevent it from falling, and then lead the horse on the road.  Zhang Guo is originally from Yanzhou, and his family has been farming for generations.  Later, he was taken north by the Yellow Turban, and his father died in the chaos. He and his brother were both underage at the time. After the Yellow Turban was defeated by Gongsun Zan, he followed his mother to the Shehou Kingdom and defected to Deng Ji, where he remains today.  Before going south to Luoyang, he followed the fourth-class policy. His mother remarried to a farmer. When his elder brother became an adult, he only had a civilian household registration. He stayed in Henan and shouldered the responsibility of supporting his mother and stepfather. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?but ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? but Zhang Guo has been involved in martial arts since childhood.  When he grew up, he had to be selected as a brave soldier, and he first joined the Wuwei Army. His household registration was originally set in Hedong, but half a year ago he was assigned to the Hengye Army.  The household registration was moved to Nanyang County.  As a soldier, he had to have the understanding to move his family and household registration at any time. Zhang Guo did not want to have his salary doubled after the land-defending army was converted into a regular army. Like many soldiers who grew up in Henan, Zhang Guo's salary  The elder brother has always taken care of it on his behalf in Henan, which is a sign of failure to support his parents.  Zhang Guo nodded and moved to Nanyang, really not for any benefit.  It's just that Brother Liaoda needs people to fill the new army, so he naturally came under the command.  Because he is Brother Liao¡¯s younger brother from Henan, even though we haven¡¯t met him yet.  However, although the soldier of the Hengye Army stayed in the army most of the time and rarely returned home, he still felt a little uncomfortable with his new neighbors and new environment.  ??Look? In fact, Zhang Guo also knew that the biggest problem that made her family feel uncomfortable in the new environment was that the local residents were afraid of these newly relocated soldiers, but not close enough.  Just like now, when he led his horse through the village, the common people he met either came to say hello with a flattering and fake smile, or they hid in a hurry, and he didn't meet any of them who were willing to get along with each other sincerely and normally.  When I encountered greeting, I only raised my twice. Zhang Guoqi was sulking to the layman. He passed by the new school in the village entrance. It was loudly rearing. Several people in Tunzhong probed their brains near the school.  The master is a local literate person, so they are not afraid, but they feel that Zhang GuoluIf you pass, just turn to the beginning.  Perhaps it was the fear of the Sizhou Army's bad reputation in the past, perhaps it was because the government had taken over the land that was beyond the household registration level, perhaps it was free of charge for the meritorious residents who were not at home during the spring sowing this year, or perhaps it was because he had been hired by the government to provide food for his family.  The soldiers who moved here to supervise the construction of new homes are still in arrears because of the shortage of money and food this year. They feel that they have been cheated and their resentment has not dissipated.  Even if the children can enter the school, even if the landless people were divided into more acres in the past, the Nanyang fellows of Big Brother Liao still have doubts and barriers towards outsiders like them!  This is so different from Henan and Hedong that he can clearly feel it in the village.  The common people refused to come and get close to each other. These brave soldiers, who had only been south for half a year, were not very familiar with their neighbors in this village, let alone people from the same pavilion and county.  How should the village elders in this county choose and who should they choose?  It is now early May. Brother Liao has decided to establish the country on the first day of June. The village elders will definitely not be able to take office in time. General Wei's Mansion only limited the meritorious servicemen to elect the candidates before the end of July. The village elders from all over the country must come to Luo before October.  Just Yang.  In order to select the village elders, the army gave them a month off. Zhang Guo originally thought that she would have enough time and might even have time to visit her parents. However, after two days of returning home, she carefully considered the situation and decided that she would have to cast her vote in this case.  I'm afraid it's not easy either.  If the household registration is still in the former residence of Hedong, it is not difficult to find an old man with high moral character and respect in the heart. But this is Nanyang County, and there are not many old people familiar with this village.  How to choose?  Who to choose?  Until they left the village and got on the horse with the stirrups on, Zhang Guo was still a little confused.  He hit the horse and rushed to the county. In addition to the common people along the way, there were also many brave soldiers going to the county like him today. The soldiers who settled in the county all belonged to the Hengye Army. They were usually the same Pao Ze. Regardless of whether they knew each other or not, when they met  You have to say hello on horseback when you arrive.  Some went to get votes and vote, and some just went to see the appearance and rules of the ticket posts. Most of the brave soldiers they met had the same destination as Zhang Guo. Gradually, more and more people gathered together on the same journey.  A small team was formed, and when they entered the county, there were more than twenty people.  Everyone went to the official temple together. An old officer stood in front of the door and said to Zhang Guo and others: "Luoyang informed us about the voting more than ten days ago. It has been posted on the inner wall of the official temple. You can go and watch first!"  As a notice for all people, this notice specifically for meritorious people was only posted in the official temple. After hearing his words, all the brave soldiers tied their horses outside.  After being led into the door, the officer asked them again: "Is there anyone who can read? Do you need me to ask the county official to read it for you?" Including Zhang Guo, three or four people said at the same time: "No need to work hard anymore, we are literate."  !¡± The old guard nodded, led Zhang Guo and others to the left wall of the official temple, pointed to the notice posted on the wall, and left to guard the door.  All the brave soldiers crowded under the notice, and a young brave soldier who had just joined the army this year read aloud: "When a new system is established, the village elders will control the rise and fall of the country, and they must not be unworthy. Those who serve the people are the people, and today  We also bear the responsibility of selecting virtuous elders for the country, so we must carefully consider who we vote for. Do not choose someone who is close to you, and avoid it if you are unfavorable. If the person is famous for being a virtuous person in the country, he will not be our new star.  Maybe there is something that can make up for the shortcomings of the law? Or maybe someone can change his mind by observing the policy?  For a long time, it is not easy to drive back and forth. Those who are old or suffering from serious diseases should avoid it.  I tell women, children and old people that they will surely gain something in the long run. This is just unreasonable hard work. Deng Ji is ashamed of it. I still hope that you will help me as before. Don¡¯t complain if I am burdened!¡± After reading the notice, Zhang Guo and Pao Ze, you guys!  You are silent for a moment.  The young soldiers read it again softly, and then someone said: "There is no rush to vote, you can go and get the voting slips first." So they went to the main recorder's office to get the voting slips together.  Zhang Guo got his ticket and looked at it carefully, but it was a thick paper ticket folded in the middle. When he opened the paper ticket, he saw the words "Recommended by fellow villagers" in large characters in the center of the lower page, and himself in small characters at the bottom.  Household registration, military affiliation, name and the date to be filled in.  When collecting the votes, the clerk explained that when voting, you must fill in the household registration name of the candidate in the center of the large characters on this ticket by yourself or ask someone to write it, and fill in the date in the small characters below. The holder of the ticket must stamp the new waistband by himself.  seal.  On the day when the votes are unveiled, the county magistrate will ask the supervisor to serve as evidence, and the votes will be counted in public in front of the official temple. Both the voters and the vote winners need to be called.  Those who want to vote can fill it out now and submit it to the clerk.  After reading the contents of the previous notice, the few who came to vote stuffed their ballot papers into their arms, and everyone left the temple together.  It started to rain lightly in the sky. Zhang Guo and his companions retreated to the corridor again and carefully stuffed the tickets close to their bodies to prevent them from getting wet by the rain before going out again.  No rainHe didn't dare to leave yet, but Zhang Guo was not afraid. He took his raincoat and put it on his horse, put on his bamboo hat, tore open two pieces of cake and chewed them in the rain. There was food in his belly, and he suddenly felt good.  After a while, I climbed back on the horse again.  When rushing home in the rain, Zhang Guo was still thinking, what Brother Liaoda said in the notice was reasonable. Was he being too pretentious to maintain his own identity a few days ago?  If the new neighbors in Nanyang refuse to get close to them, can't I take the initiative to get along with them and make friends with them?  The ticket sticker is close to the flesh, and you can clearly feel it every time the horse's back rises and falls. In order to hand it over with a clear conscience, in this month, not to mention the people of this village, the outer villages and foreign pavilions themselves should go to the common people.  Search and inquire all over.  Although he can¡¯t visit his parents in Henan this time, who calls him Brother Liao¡¯s younger brother in Henan?  Under the bamboo hat, Zhang Guo's eyes gradually brightened.  It was a rare opportunity to run through the water stains and mud on the ground. The four hooves of the bad horse seemed to be much more cheerful. Each person and the horse gradually merged into the rain and fog until they were no longer visible.  (To be continued.)
