"Oh, it's nothing, it wants you to improve its food, every meal is hay, no nutrition and no water, I want the donkey to pull well, and I want the donkey not to eat grass, there is no such reason in the world, it said, in the future, unless you give it fragrant and spicy food every day, it will strike and not grind."

Zhang covered her mouth and laughed, under the moonlight, her smile was like a flower, and her laughter was crisp and sweet.

Perhaps it was rare to hear the laughter of the hostess, and the little donkey barked excitedly.

"Huh? What did you say? Oh, this is your fault, she is for your good, don't have to inch in, to be a donkey is to be a donkey's consciousness, to give you food and drink, to let you grind, let you pull the cart, that is your duty to be a donkey, if you don't pull the cart, do you want to become a donkey meat fire? ”

"What did it say again?" Zhang asked with a smile.

"It said, don't take good food in front of it in the future to lure it, its donkey head is not good, its donkey temper rises, its physical strength is overdrawn, tired and sick, then you will have to grind yourself."

"I'm not going to do that." Zhang said angrily.

At this time, the little donkey called a few more times.

Zhen Ming listened bitterly, looked like he agreed, nodded and said: "Of course I know this truth, the grace of dripping water should be reciprocated by a spring, not to mention the grace of saving lives, even if you don't say it, I want to help her, the problem is that she has to let it, you don't know that your hostess has always disliked to talk more, and I am embarrassed to speak." ”

Zhang couldn't help but retort: "Are you still talking less? ”

Zhen Ming heard it bitterly, and leaned into the ear of the little donkey, and said in a voice that Zhang could just hear: "I'll just say it, her temper is not smaller than yours, I think you still have to endure it." ”

Zhang was teased by Zhen Ming at this time, and he was no longer as restrained as before.

The innocent little donkey played various roles under Zhen Ming's bitter self-questioning and self-answering, and walked all the way to Luoyang City in Zhang's pleasant laughter.

……

An hour later, the two came to the north gate of the city.

It's just that at this time, the city gate has been closed, and it can be vaguely seen that there are several city guards patrolling the city tower.

An anxious look appeared on Zhang's face.

Zhen Minghard parked the car, walked to the city tower, and shouted at the patrol soldiers at a height of more than ten meters: "Brother Bing, can you please open the door?" ”

"What people!"

"The small one is from the blacksmith shop of Wei Chi, and I went out to buy some materials, and I missed the trip, so it is convenient for the big brother to do it."

"The city gate has been closed, even if Lord Shangshu wants to enter the city, he must have the emperor's token."

After several negotiations to no avail, the guards in the city even showed their bows and arrows, warning that if they were entangled again, they would shoot him on the spot as a spy.

With a guilty face, he said, "I'm sorry, I'm afraid I won't be able to send you into the city tonight." ”

Zhang was a little panicked when he heard this, and asked, "What should I do then?" ”

"Why don't we find a house outside the city, stay overnight, and enter the city early tomorrow morning."

Zhang hesitated, Zhen Ming saw her uneasy appearance, and comforted: "Don't worry, your father-in-law is in the gambling house now, and it is estimated that he will not go back tonight." ”

Hearing this, Zhang raised his head and looked at him in surprise.

Knowing that this woman was very easy to misunderstand others, Zhen Mingbitter hurriedly explained: "There are a few brothers in the blacksmith shop in Yuchi who also like to gamble, and they all know your father-in-law, and I happened to see him in the casino today, otherwise I wouldn't have let you go out of the city with me." ”

Zhang breathed a sigh of relief and fell silent with some embarrassment.

Zhen Mingku, regardless of whether she agreed or not, took the little donkey and walked towards several peasant households outside the city.

……

A kilometer away from the northern city wall is a small river about ten meters wide.

On both sides of the creek are large tracts of fertile farmland and a few sparse farmhouses.

Zhen Mingbitter knocked on one of the farmhouses, and after a while, a sleepy tenant farmer carried an oil lamp, opened the firewood door, and looked at the two uninvited guests at the door with sleepy eyes, and his face was vaguely annoyed after being woken up.

"Who, so late?"

"I'm sorry uncle, I'm disturbing your rest, we are from Luoyang City, and we have nothing to do when we go out of the city, but we missed the time to enter the city, can we stay here for one night, and we will leave early tomorrow morning."

The farmer raised the oil lamp and shone it on Zhen Mingku's face, under the light, the scar on Zhen Mingku's face looked a little scary, and he was startled, took a step back, and shook his head again and again, "You better go and take a look elsewhere, I have such a house here, where can I live." ”

As he spoke, he slammed the door shut.

Zhen Mingku, looking back helplessly, looked at the Zhang family who was secretly snickering, and said with some resentment: "Why don't you knock on the door, in the middle of the night, I look like this and easily scare people." ”

Hearing this, Zhang hurriedly shook his head, how could she dare to knock on someone else's door in the middle of the night.

Zhen had no choice but to give up, and took her to ask a few other farmhouses, without exception, those farmers saw that he didn't look like a good person, and brought a beautiful and abnormal woman, without exception, they thought he was some kind of gangster who abducted women, and they all refused.

I finally met an elderly couple, seeing Zhen Mingkuang with a woman, thinking that the two were eloped lovers, the couple was also a pair of people who broke through the prejudice of the door valve, and they came together despite the opposition of their families to elope away and fly away, and they have been together for a lifetime, and when they saw the two, they felt very cordial, and they were very enthusiastic to take them to a firewood room, and gave them a quilt to let them stay for a while.

Although the quilt is thin, it can barely keep out the cold, but it is only enough for one person.

After the settlement was settled, the old woman pulled Zhang's to say some thoughtful words, and taught some ways to get along with husband and wife, which made Zhang's face flushed, so she took her old man's hand and leaned on each other to go out.

The two of them stood in the firewood room, Zhang's eyes looked away, and the firewood room was so quiet that only the sound of frogs in the farmland outside could be heard.

In the end, it was Zhen Mingku who broke the embarrassing atmosphere, and said with a smile: "This old woman is estimated to be old, and her eyes are not very good, you and I look at it like a princess and a groom, a beauty and a beast, how can it be a couple, alas, ......"

Zhang smiled slightly, and at this moment, a gurgling sound sounded in the quiet environment, which came from her stomach, and she looked embarrassed.

Zhen Mingku pretended not to hear it, and said, "It's not early, if you're sleepy, go to bed early." ”

Zhang was a little less embarrassed at this time, and there was a little worry between his eyebrows, as if he was worried about something.

Zhen Ming smiled bitterly and said, "Don't worry, I'm guarding outside the door, so you can sleep here with peace of mind." ”

Zhang glanced at him a little embarrassed, and whispered, "The quilt is for you, it's cold outside." ”

"It's okay, I'll make a fire outside, and I won't be able to freeze." After saying that, he turned and walked to the door.

"Zhen Gongzi ......"

Zhen Mingku turned his head to look at her.

"Blackie hasn't eaten, can you feed him some forage?"

"Don't worry, you can't afford it."

After Zhen Mingbitter finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the firewood room.

……

In the dead of night, the sound of frogs is noisy.

An enticing aroma filled the air and wafted into the firewood room.

Outside the firewood room, the bonfire was prosperous, and Zhen Mingku was lying on the ground, roasting the fire, looking up at the starry sky, and there was a thick layer of straw under him.

At the top of the bonfire are two fragrant roast chickens dripping with hot oil, and it is from here that the aroma emanates.

The donkey cart was unloaded in a corner of the yard, and the little donkey was quietly eating the forage.

Only a squeak was heard.

The door of the firewood room opened, and the pretty Zhang came out of the room, glanced at Zhen Mingku, and quickly fixed his eyes on the two fragrant roast chickens on the fire.

The expression on her face became extremely moving, seven points of embarrassment and three points of surprise.

She walked softly to the campfire and sat down, not speaking, just quietly watching the roast chicken slowly turn golden brown.

Zhen Mingku put away his phone, stood up, patted his buttocks, and began to make up the roast chicken, sprinkle it with salt, and pour some soy sauce, then inhaled vigorously and praised: "Tsk! This incense should only be in the sky, where in the world a few times to smell, tonight I don't know who has a mouthful, can taste my uncle and his uncle's grandfather ancestral secret roast chicken, so long haven't eaten, smell the fragrance and be greedy, I wipe my saliva first. ”

Zhang couldn't help but be curious and asked, "Where did you get it from?" ”
