Chapter 157: The Streets of Didaw

Ermayina squeezed through the crowd to the outskirts of the village, where she saw Guo Jia standing alone outside a bullpen, looking up at the yellow moon in the sky. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Oh my God, Ermayna said to herself, he was so handsome, his demeanor was so serene, his posture was so elegant, his neck was so slender, his eyes were so wise, the moon was so bright, and cow dung was so fragrant. What a beautiful night, and Ermayina felt like her heart was melting.

Guo Jia sighed softly, as if the fine dust was floating in the air on a sunny afternoon, and Ermayina wanted to dust it off one by one for him. She walked up to Guo Jia lightly and said softly, "Guo Jia, why are you sighing?" Is there anything upset about? ”

Guo Jia sighed lightly again: "In a few days, it will be Qingming, I miss my deceased father and can't sleep at night, alas, it seems that it will be difficult to pay tribute to my father's grave in person this year." Ermayina thought about it, and her eyes were red: "My father and several brothers died unexpectedly, you and I will go with you to pay tribute to them in a few days, okay?" ”

Guo Jia hurriedly said: "In our hometown, you can use a blessing bag to express your sorrow for your relatives, will you do it?" Make one for me. ”

Ermayina immediately burst into tears and laughed: "I won't, but you can teach me, I can definitely do it." ”

"In fact, it's very simple, it's to sew a brocade bag with red cloth, and then embroider a blessing character with five-colored silk thread on the outside of the brocade, by the way, can you embroider?"

"No, but I'll learn it quickly."

For the next few days, Ermayna searched everywhere for needlework materials and locked herself in her home.

Mo Ling ate by the bonfire once, and he was embarrassed to see her all the time, but now that he saw that she didn't go out for a few days, he was a little worried about her. He knocked on Ermayina's door under the pretext of delivering food, and saw her nesting herself in the colorful silk threads, happily sticking needles into a cloth bag.

Mo Ling said strangely: "You look like this, are you going to curse anyone?" ”

Ermayina said angrily: "I'm embroidering the Han people's lucky bag, and Guo Jia asked me to help him make it." ”

"But", Mo Ling scratched the back of his head: "They have been gone for two days, even if you are ready, how can you give it to him?" ”

"What?" Ermayina lost her face and ran out of the door as fast as she could, and after a while she rode out of the village and galloped straight to the west. Mo Ling looked at it for a long time before he came back to his senses: "That seems to be my horse ......."

I have to say that Shi Man still has some roads in the Xiqiang area, and under his arrangement, the group passed through Longxi without danger and entered Didao City. Since the main force of the rebels was confronting the imperial army in the area of Chencang, Di Dao's troops were weak, and the captain who defended the city saw this cavalry wearing the same military uniform entering the city, so he naturally interrogated a few times, but was easily dismissed by Shi Man with gold and rhetoric.

Tyumen, who had just settled down in his residence and had eaten all the way of beef and mutton, felt that he even had a smell in his breath, immediately shouted to improve his food. Fan Chou said with a smile: "Di Dao is Dong Zhonglang's hometown, I have been here with him several times, since you don't want to eat beef and mutton, I'll take you to eat stone buns." ”

Qiu Ming said in surprise: "Stone bun? What is that? Can you still eat pebbles? ”

Standing in front of the propped cauldron, Tyumen watched in amazement as the stall owner poured a lot of crushed stones into the bottom of the pot, stirred and fried them with clear oil, left half of the fried stones in the pot and flattened them, then put the cake on top, and then spread the other half of the stones poured out on top of the cake, and finally covered the pot.

Tyumen asked, "Is this stone clean?" You won't have diarrhea after eating it, right? ”

In this year, the army is in chaos, and the business is naturally not as good as before, and suddenly there are so many customers, and the stall owner naturally wants to show off his spirit: "Don't worry, I use the stones of Xindian here, and I have washed them four or five times with Taohe water, and they are very clean." ”

Tyumen remembered the sugar-fried chestnuts he had eaten, and it seemed to be like this, so he smiled and said nothing. After a while, the aroma of the dough gradually wafted out of the pot, making Tyumen drool.

From the opposite side of the street, there was also a loud sound of swallowing saliva, and following the sound, there was a dark and thin middle-aged man nestled at the corner of the street, wearing a torn jacket, cross-legged, with a pouch underneath, and hanging it on his shoulders with a straw rope. His head was covered with a rag of horsehair, and his eyes were glazed over, but he was staring at the cauldron.

Fan Chou said angrily: "Where did the beggar come from, he dared to sweep the uncles, don't get out of the way, beware of me killing you with one punch." The middle-aged man was startled, and hurriedly put up his hands and took a few steps back, but after all, he couldn't resist the temptation of food, and couldn't help but look back at the freshly cooked dough.

Fan Chou viciously made a fist swing at him, and Qiu Ming smiled: "It's just a fallen person at the end of the world, why scare him like this." Besides, this bread is not worth a few dollars, and it is nothing to give him one or two. ”

After receiving the dough cake handed by Qiuming, the middle-aged man burst into tears, but he just fell on the ground and kept kowtowing, but he didn't say thank you. Wei Yan said: "It turned out to be a mute, but it was pitiful." ”

The stall owner said: "It's not dumb, it's just that he's embarrassed to speak." This person's name is Diao Jun, and he is a poor scholar in the city, and he can be regarded as a little talented. I don't want to offend people because of the investigation of Maocai, and I was caught in a gambling game and owed a lot of debts, and my family property was lost. The daughter was sold, the wife was hanged, and his leg was broken, so he became like this. ”

Qiu Ming and the others all shook their heads, this person's life experience is quite pitiful, but there are many poor people in the world, how can they all sympathize? Give him two breads today, which can be regarded as a round side.

was sighing, but Diao Jun sobbed, took a bite of the bread and cried: "Xiu'er, my hard-working daughter, where are you now?" How are you doing? I'm sorry for you for my father. ”

Tyumen stood up with a thud and rushed to Diao Junren's side. Diao Jun was frightened by his movements, and took a few steps back to protect the dough.

Tyumen looked down at him, only to see that his face was covered with black ash, only a little flesh color was faintly visible from the tear stains on both sides, his hair was messy like a chicken coop, his body was dirty like a pigsty, and his body exuded an unpleasant stench. He looked at Qiu Ming with his eyes wide open, but his eyes were black and dirty, and the whites of his eyes could barely be seen.

Qiu Ming looked at it carefully for a while, and couldn't imagine Diao Jun's original appearance, so he asked in as gentle a tone as possible, "Your name is Diao De?" Your daughter's name is Diao Xiu'er? ”

Diao Jun hesitated for a long time, not knowing what Qiu Ming's intentions were, and finally spoke: "Yes, my daughter's name is Diao Xiu'er, have you seen her?" When he talked about his daughter, his face seemed to glow a little, which made him look a little more pleasing to the eye.

Qiu Ming took a deep breath: "My wife's name is also called Diao Xiu'er. (To be continued.) )
