Chapter 33: Attracting the Thief into the Urn
I'm going to go to Merlin to see Qimei, in the end, husband and wife. I always couldn't let go of it in my heart, and when I thought about leaving, what Qimei said Yun Yue was a little sad. Love is not something you want to take, but something you need to give. I asked for too much from Qimei, and my already weak feelings naturally couldn't withstand such destruction. Sometimes, human feelings are a lot like a passbook. Always take it and don't put it in, there will always be a day when you empty it.
"Master Hou, this market is getting more and more prosperous. It seems to be more prosperous than in the previous few months, when we left. You see, even the rouge shop has been opened. Zheng Bin didn't have an honest time around Yun Yue, but fortunately he didn't bring the tower out. Otherwise, an ADHD and a depression will not let Lao Tzu live.
Lao Jiang looked east and west in the market, and bought a melon for a while. After a while, I bought another fruit, and I don't know why. Yun Yue found that the teeth of the old people in this year were generally better than those of later generations. Lao Jiang is in his fifties, and there is no sign of loosening a tooth. Nibbling on the apple, the "click" and "click" are enviable.
A few people went out of the market, and Merlin could already be seen in the distance. Suddenly, an old woman who asked for food walked up to Yun Yue: "Okay, okay, give the old woman a bite to eat." As he spoke, a broken stoneware bowl reached out.
The old woman's image is miserable, and she is dressed as a beggar, not only with big holes and small eyes. There are also patches falling on them, and their hands are covered with mud, and they are dry and stained on their hands, and they can't see the original color. His hair was messy like weed, almost covering half of his cheeks. As soon as he was three feet closer, a rancid smell wafted over.
Yun Yue took half a step back, and Zheng Bin immediately stood in front of Yun Yue, pinching his nose and glaring at the old woman. "You old thing really has no rules, take this money to buy food. Let's go, let's go! Zheng Bin pinched his nose, and his voice was weird. The other hand threw out a few copper plates. I want to send the old woman away. It's a bad smell.
Lao Jiang knocked Zheng Bin's hand off and reprimanded: "You kid, you are like this when you see that people are old women?" In the world of great controversy, it is not easy for a woman's family. Take it home and get a bowl of rice for her, our family can't save so many lives, and if you can save one, it's one. Hou Ye. You see, feeding one more person in the house is also supporting. Such a lonely old woman, if you put it outside, it will be a death. Seeing that it is winter, Master Hou, you will reward her with a bowl of rice. ”
Zheng Bin's eyes are about to fall, when will the murderous old Jiang become a bodhisattva. It's not scientific, it's seriously unscientific. It must be that I haven't slept well these days and have auditory hallucinations. Zheng Bin shook his head, dizzy for a while.
"Forget it, just do good deeds. is such an old woman, and she can't eat a few or two meters. Let's go home! Yun Yue waved her hand irritably. As soon as he turned around, he walked back.
"Lucky to you, old woman. Hou Ye took you in, why don't you hurry up and follow Hou Ye back to the house? A killer walked up to the old woman.
"Master Hou! Let's not ......" As soon as Zheng Bin spoke, he was slapped on the back of his head by Lao Jiang, and he shrank his neck in pain and stopped talking.
The old woman seemed to be very excited, her head shook and her hands trembled, and she didn't need to be helped by the killers. Walking with a limp, it looks like one leg is very lame, and it looks like he is struggling to walk.
In fact, the killers were not willing to support her. It's just a show. Seeing that this old woman didn't seem to be walking slowly, she could keep up with the Hou Ye's team. And he paid no attention to it.
led the mother-in-law to the Yun family's old house, and the old house is now so clean. The Yun family moved away, and there was no longer any noise in the house. Now there are too many houses to live in, and five hundred old soldiers have filled in them, and this mansion seems to have a little popularity.
Lao Jiang let his mother-in-law into a room, and several mothers-in-law were doing needlework in the room. Seeing that Lao Jiang was coming, he hurriedly gave a salute!
"How do you have time to come here. Since the main house is gone. There is no work here, and it is said that I am uneasy about taking the salary of the Hou Ye in vain! A thin-mouthed lady in her forties greeted Lao Jiang when she saw him come in.
"Bai Zhang's family! Where did the Hou family's family come from so many things, looking at this old mansion is unmanned. Cleaning up a dust or something on weekdays, don't you need people? This old woman. You guys clean it up. Hou Ye said, just let her come to the house to help do something.
Oh yes, Bai Zhang's family. Hou Ye said that there are many old soldiers living in the house. If the clothes on your body are damaged, you will help you to repair them. You arrange for someone to go now, and you all go! These more than 500 old men will not be sewing and washing. All of them are dirty and pigs, Hou Ye loves to be clean, you have worked hard these days. It will only be ten days before or so, and the Hou Ye will return to Xianyang to participate in the canonization ceremony of Gongzizheng. ”
"No! The slave family will take people with them, this ......" Bai Zhang looked at the lame woman and said with some embarrassment.
"Oh, you're understaffed. She is not in good health, let her eat some food and sleep to recuperate. We'll talk about it in the evening! You go first to work in the courtyard, and all the nobles of the court will come on the day of the ceremony. Don't lose face in our family. ”
"No! You all came with the old body, and you didn't listen to Jiang Ye, so you can't lose the face of the Hou Ye. After Bai Zhang finished speaking, he walked away with a room of women.
"Sit down for a while, and the old man will get you something to eat. Poor man, I'll find Bai Zhang's clothes for you later. What a ...... way of the world! Lao Jiang pointed to the reed mat and went out chattering.
After a while, Lao Jiang came back with a big bowl of rice. A lot of gravy was poured on top, and the braised pork was piled high. It's simple, but it's real. For such a hungry person, it is the most suitable.
"Hey......! There was nothing else in the kitchen, so I ate this. Then go to sleep, and when Bai Zhang's comes back at night, you can ask her for clothes. In the future, it is no problem to work hard at home, and it is still no problem to mix three meals and one night. The people in the family have moved to Pingliang, and there is no other work here except cleaning. Eat! "Lao Jiang seems to have a lot of words today, and put the rice in front of the old woman. Seeing that the old woman didn't reach out to pick it up, "I'll go get you some meat again!" After that, he went out.
The old woman was the only one left in the room, and she sniffed it and put a piece of red meat in her mouth with chopsticks. It's delicious, the braised pork is soft and smooth but not greasy. It tastes great in the mouth, and it is a great food to eat.
The gravy-soaked rice has an attractive aroma. The old woman couldn't stop taking a bite, and when she felt that something was wrong, she found that she had eaten an old bowl the size of a human head.
Old Jiang didn't come back, and he didn't know where he went. The old woman looked at the room, an ordinary brick house. There was a basket hanging from the beam, presumably for pastries or something. Shuzhong also did this, and it was rats that were prevented.
Outside, it was still bright, and the skinned windows were open. The light in the room was not bad, and the reed mat he was sitting on was two feet above the ground. I don't know why, the ground collapse in Shu is not so high.
Looking into the yard, a few old hens were leisurely pecking on the ground. The sparrows on the branches were also chirping, as if discussing whether to play in the south like the swallows.
Peaceful, very quiet. The woman always felt that something was wrong, but she could not remember it. Sitting back on the reed mat, the leg injury was a little serious. Now walking has become a problem, and I don't know if I will leave a disability. If you really become a cripple, it will be bad.
Old ginger came back, holding a jar of water. When he saw the old woman rubbing her leg, she asked, "Do you have a broken leg?" How did you get it, there is a medical officer in Zhuangzi, and I will send him to come in the evening to get you some herbs. ”
"Thank you, brother! It doesn't matter if the injury on my leg hurts, I went to a big family to beg for food a few days ago. As a result, he was bitten by someone's dog, and the old woman's life was cheap for a few days. The old woman said, beating her legs. Lao Jiang diligently poured a bowl of water for the old woman and said, "This meat is greasy, I made a bowl of honey water." To relieve your oiliness, how about it is not bad here, right? ”
"The old woman took good fortune to meet a good family like Hou Ye. Otherwise, it would not have been frozen to death in winter. The old woman said with some sadness.
"Also, it is not easy for people in this world to live. What happened to you? Lao Jiang saw that the old woman's face suddenly turned pale, and hurriedly asked.
"I don't know why there is some pain in my abdomen, where is the net bucket, I want to ......" The old woman's face turned pale, as if she was trying her best to endure it. A fart was stunned, the air was filled with the smell of amines, and the old woman looked embarrassed with her head down.
"You! Okay, it refers to the scolding of Sang Huai. The old man brought you food in a good manner, but you scolded the old man for being a dog. Look, God will retribution for you! I was hit by an arrow a few nights ago, and now I actually follow me with a ghost. How much grudge, just for money? As for it! ”
The old woman Huo raised her head, and two cold lights shot out of her eyes. Old Jiang had already retreated to the door, and saw a cold light flashing in the old woman's eyes. One rolled over and rolled out of the room, and with two "do" and "do" two sleeve arrows nailed to the door frame.
"No wonder Master Hou said that only women and villains are difficult to raise! The old man gave you food and drink, and you actually treated the old man like this. It's chilling! Outside the door, Lao Jiang's mocking voice came.
"Whew" A stone flew out then, and Lao Jiang had already prepared to use the shield at the door of the house. "Smack......!" A stone struck the steel shield and shattered.
Almost at the same time, the walls of the courtyard were covered with men with bows and crossbows. At the slightest order, the people in the house will be shot into hedgehogs.
Only then did Shao Si Ming realize that he had become a caged bird. The roof is a little high, and it is difficult for me. It's a pity that one of his legs was injured, and he disdained the height in the past. Now I also feel unattainable, and it is even more impossible to go out through the door and window. Not to mention that there is a terrible condor archer, even if it is a powerful crossbow in the hands of these fierce soldiers, it is enough to shoot himself. It's not night, and it's wishful thinking to dodge so many crossbow arrows without the cover of darkness. (To be continued.) )
