Chapter 479 Crow
Han Li is the first person to get up in the house every day. The north wind blew all night last night, and the temperature dropped a lot today.
The more such an environment, the more he missed the days in Shanghe Village. One reason is that there is no comfortable kang here, and the other is that the environment is not good every season.
Because the population of Sijiu City is now too dense, especially in the alleys.
Originally, every household in Sijiu City had only one stove burning, but recently due to the drop in temperature, most of them have a stove burning in each room, like Han Li's family, which has four stoves lit at once.
During the day, everyone will close the damper when they go to work, so there is no feeling, but at night, the stove will burn very vigorously, and the burning of coal balls and coal cakes will produce a lot of dust.
It would be better if it was windy like today, otherwise he would run a circle with black coal dust in his nostrils.
Han Li needs to adjust his breathing when practicing boxing and kung fu, and the situation is even more so after a circle.
Even if the coal ash is inhaled into the lungs, Han Li can use decomposition to get it out, but this situation is a bit annoying.
Shanghe Village has a large area, few people, and many trees. Even if every household has been burning firewood all winter, this situation will not occur.
Han Li ran to the lake with his two dogs, thinking that when he comes back in two years, he must buy a larger courtyard house near the lake. One is that there is water near the lake, so there will not be so much coal ash, and the other is that if it is too small, his family can't live in it. Otherwise, he will choose a courtyard house with not so many residents around as his main house.
After practicing, Han Li walked back slowly. When he reached the entrance of the alley, he bought a few fried dough rings, which were paired with the leftovers from last night for today's breakfast.
When he got home, everyone was basically up. Some were heating up the rice, some were washing up, and some were emptying the toilet. The small courtyard was the busiest at this time.
When Han Li put the fried dough rings in the kitchen, Sister Han was busy inside.
"I bought a Jiao ring."
"Oh, by the way, big sister, it's been more than ten days, why is there no news about Dai Jingan? Could that guy have backed out? If that's the case, I think his family will definitely be a place of trouble in the future."
"No, he called me yesterday. He's a little embarrassed to come to see you because he hasn't got a musical instrument yet."
"Oh, I just said that casually at the beginning. If I want to buy a musical instrument, there are many ways. The most important thing is to see how popular he is in the unit. No matter how well he behaves in front of you or how nicely he speaks, you can't deceive people about his popularity in the unit. Whether he is doing well or not can be seen through internal indicators.
You Look at the old Cui family in front of us who works in a bicycle factory. He usually brags about it to the neighbors, but everyone knows that he can't even get an internal quota. Ninety percent of the people in his factory ride bicycles before he can get one. This is because he is not popular, and he won't have much future in the company.
Even if most of Dai Jingan's factory's products generate foreign exchange, this internal quota is a rule that exists in all factories. If he can't even get this as a factory worker, then you really have to think about it. "
The brother and sister were talking when Han's mother came in from outside. When she saw the doughnuts on the table, she remembered yesterday's milk and then hit Han Li on the back.
Han Li certainly knew the reason. He could only bring up the topic of Dai Jingan to let the mother and daughter start a conversation, and he quickly slipped back to wash his face, brush his teeth and prepare for dinner.
Originally, Han Li would have been idle today after sending his family to work, but at noon, Yu Daqiang came on a bicycle.
Han Li didn't even move when he saw that it was him. Yun Jingjing quickly made him a cup of tea and brought it over.
"Thank you, sister-in-law. I thought you had a leisurely life, drinking tea, reading books, and even practicing calligraphy."
"I can't sleep all day long, I have to find something to kill time. But don't you eat in the company cafeteria at noon? Why did you come back today?"
"Oh, those classmates in our class found me again, saying that they only contacted about ten people and planned to get together on the 15th of this month, which is the 28th."
"It's cold to ride so far in this cold weather. Can't you just tell me about this after get off work?"
"No, I also heard that Miao Qingfu and Miao Qinglu came back yesterday, and they seem to be contacting people in other alleys today. I'm afraid they don't follow the rules, so I came back to remind you, so that you don't get ambushed without knowing it.
"Haha, if the three Miao brothers really dare to bring people from other alleys to our area, we don't need to do anything, those uncles and aunts can kill them.
As for outside our alley, there is no need to worry. You know I don't like to go out. How powerful are these three brothers to let a group of people accompany them to keep me hanging?
Even if I want to go out, those insignificant people want to ambush me in the alley. When the time comes, I will definitely teach them a lesson they will never forget. "
Yu Daqiang listened to Han Li's careless words and he became anxious.
"There are only thieves who can steal for a thousand days, but there is no such thing as guarding against thieves for a thousand days. If it were you, I would first call a group of friends to calm them down. After they are defeated, they don't have to guard against this all day long."
Han Li looked at Yu Daqiang's excitement, as if he was the one being missed, and smiled and patted his shoulder and said.
"Daqiang, I know you are worried about your buddy, but now it is not the late 1960s, and you are now a person holding a stable job, and it is not worth it to fight with those educated youth who went to the countryside to work in the fields.
Even if we want to fight, we must fight with reason and evidence, and we can't let this matter affect our future, so we must find an excuse to take action, so that we won't be stepped on by these barefoot people."
"Okay, anyway, your idea is very positive, but we must not be timid about this matter, otherwise the three brothers of the Miao family will tremble again, and Yan Dahong's mouth will also spray everywhere."
Han Li smiled and agreed. Yu Daqiang had to go to work in the afternoon, so he was about to leave after talking about the matter.
Han Li and his three companions sent Yu Daqiang to the street gate, and only went home after seeing him riding his bicycle away.
"Han Li, I think it's better to strike first. At worst, we have to find someone to keep an eye on them. No matter how good you are at fighting, you can't prevent them from hiding and shooting arrows."
"Well, don't worry, I won't put myself in danger, so I plan to go out and find someone to help keep an eye on the Miao brothers in the afternoon."
As he spoke, he had already returned to the house. With the help of the two sisters, Han Li armed himself tightly and went out.
Han Li didn't go out to find someone to help him keep an eye on him this time. Who can keep an eye on others in such a cold weather without working?
So he went out this time to catch a few birds as his eyes and ears. Han Li was afraid that the sparrows in Shanghe Village would die suddenly on the way so far, so he didn't bring them with him this time.
Now he had to go out and catch them now. As long as they were caught by the primary beast control technique, they would be his best informants.
As soon as he went out, Han Li's mental power was stretched, and he kept looking for the sparrows living under the eaves.
Unfortunately, he had walked all over the Mianhua Hutong and still hadn't found any. But think about it, even if there were sparrows building nests under the eaves, they would probably become a piece of meat in someone else's bowl soon.
Just as Han Li was thinking about where to catch birds, a large group of crows flew over his head, which made his eyes light up.
This kind of crows in groups is very common in Sijiu City. They are a symbol of disaster in other places, but they are auspicious birds in Sijiu City.
This custom has existed since the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, because Aixinjuel has a deep connection with crows.
It is said that Erhaci was hunted by the Ming army and hid in a deep ditch. Then a large group of crows flew on him and completely hid him, thus avoiding the pursuit of the Ming army.
Coincidentally, Huang Tji also received the favor of crows, so Huang Tji issued a special imperial decree when he was in power.
No one is allowed to hurt crows, and people also set up a "Sauron pole" in the palace.
"Suolong pole" is the traditional Manchu "god pole" for offering sacrifices to heaven. It is more than ten feet high. There is a bowl-shaped object on the top of the "Suolong pole" to provide grain and meat for crows.
After Emperor Shunzhi entered the Forbidden City, a "Suolong pole" was specially set up in the Forbidden City to reflect Aixinjue L's highest level of worship for crows, and he also warned his descendants not to shoot crows.
Since then, successive Qing emperors have followed the ancestral precepts and have always retained the tradition of raising crows in the Forbidden City.
The Aixinjue L family believes that crows are the "mascots" of the family, because the blessing of crows can continue and multiply the family.
What the superior likes, the subordinates must follow it, and what the superior hates, the subordinates also follow it. This has always been the case since ancient times.
Therefore, crows have always existed as mascots in the Forbidden City, and they have been protected and multiplied. In the past, the Eight Banners children in the Forbidden City did not care if they were hit by crow feces. Instead, they would smile and say that it was "heavenly feces" and an auspicious sign.
After more than 200 years of this situation, the people of Sijiu City gradually changed from disliking crows to being accustomed to them.
However, it was not easy for Han Li to catch these crows successfully, because the place where they live most now is the Forbidden City, which is not a place he can enter whenever he wants.
In addition, there are the most crows near the Temple of Heaven, Gongzhufen, and Wukesong. The Temple of Heaven is also difficult to enter, so Han Li did not consider it.
Then the remaining ones are Gongzhufen and Wukesong, which are relatively far away. After deciding the destination, Han Li started to pedal his bicycle quickly.
He kept overtaking the bus along the way, and it didn't take too long to reach Gongzhufen.
However, Gongzhufen has many courtyards, which is also a very troublesome thing, because it is the most ferocious area in Sijiu City.
