Wu Shaoyong didn't expect Wu Zhongyuan to dare to refuse the servant he had arranged for him, but he didn't turn his face immediately, but didn't smile, "Do you want to be young?

Wu Zhongyuan had long known that the reason why Wu Shaoyong made things difficult for him was because he was jealous, but seeing that he took the initiative to provoke, he didn't hate him so much, no man likes his girlfriend to serve other men, Wu Shaoyong's rejection of him is also understandable.

"I think you misunderstood, Ah Tong is a doctor, and she is not taking care of me, but helping me heal my injuries," Wu Zhongyuan patiently explained, "You can also see, since I can go to the ground, I haven't stayed in the house much." ”

Wu Zhongyuan thought that his patient explanation would make Wu Shaoyong clear up the misunderstanding, but he never thought that Wu Shaoyong would be angry, "What do you mean? You think I'm jealous of you?"

Wu Zhongyuan didn't answer immediately, he is now on the verge of turning his face and not turning his face, he has the ability to make a living, there is no need to endure humiliation and stay here. But then again, there is no need to find trouble if you are not afraid of things, and there is no need to take the initiative to offend people if you are not afraid of offending people.

"You tell me clearly," Wu Shaoyong said aggressively, "What do you mean? Do you really think you are a bear clanman?"

Wu Zhongyuan still didn't answer, Wu Shaoyong had already stepped on his yellow line, and he was very close to the red line.

"If it weren't for seeing that you were a sick man, it would be up to me to clean you up. Wu Shaoyong glared and threatened.

Wu Zhongyuan smiled contemptuously, at this time, unlike modern society, people at this time advocate force, it is an era of speaking with fists, in fact, modern society is also like this, but it is not so obvious.

"What are you laughing at?" Wu Shaoyong asked with an eyebrow.

"It's nothing," Wu Zhongyuan turned around and walked into the house, "Take them away, I don't want them." ”

Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan's tone was not very tough, Wu Shaoyong thought he was timid, "You don't want this yourself, don't say that I didn't assign it to you." ”

Wu Zhongyuan didn't bother to take care of him, so he entered the house and closed the door.

The house was very dilapidated, with air leakage on it, and there were no decent living utensils in it, only a water tank and two dilapidated pottery urns, no bedding, not even dishes and chopsticks.

Wu Shaoyong's motive for doing this is obvious, he wants to force him to leave here, in fact, he has no feelings for here, and it doesn't matter if he leaves, but even if he wants to leave, he has to walk with his head held high, and Wu Shaoyong can't be forced to leave.

Wu Shaoyong didn't leave food, he had nothing to eat, he wanted to ask the old man who passed the decree for it, but after thinking about it, he gave up, if he really went to ask for food, it was no different from complaining, the old man would definitely reprimand Wu Shaoyong, he was not afraid that Wu Shaoyong would be reprimanded, but he didn't want to do such a spineless thing.

If you don't have food, you have to find food, he lost his bow and arrow when he fled before, and he can't hunt without a bow and arrow, so he can only go to Ah Tong to borrow, in fact, many families in the city have bows and arrows, but he doesn't know people, and he is embarrassed to speak.

Although Ah Tong had already begun to keep his distance from him, when he saw him coming to the door, he still lent him a bow and arrow.

Wu Zhongyuan was very weak and couldn't go far, but he didn't have to go far, he only went around the fields outside the city and had a harvest, which was originally planted with millet, and a few pheasants were picking up rice grains that fell in the autumn and were found and shot down by him.

The pheasants in ancient times were not the same as the modern pheasants, they were slightly smaller and more colorful, but they hit the prey, and they couldn't do without firewood and grass, and they had to find firewood, and on the way back to the city, they remembered that the roof was leaking, and they tied some straw in the field, and at this time wood was everywhere, and few people burned straw with little firepower.

On the way back, many people saw him walking with difficulty, but no one came forward to help, and they didn't know whether it was a lack of sympathy or a wariness of him.

Wu Zhongyuan's physical strength was seriously overdrawn before, and now he has not recovered, and he has to stop panting and wiping his sweat every few dozen meters, and there are blisters under his feet, and it is extremely difficult to walk.

He is completely holding on now, he can rely on himself, and he will never ask for help, this is Lin Qingming's admonition to him.

In the end, someone came out to help, it was a twelve or thirteen-year-old child, not tall, with very delicate features, but very dark and thin, and he didn't speak after coming, but picked up firewood and straw and left.

Wu Zhongyuan asked him what his name was, but he didn't say. When asked where he lived, he didn't say, and after sending Wu Zhongyuan to his residence, he put down his things, turned around and left.

Wu Zhongyuan walked a few steps quickly, reached out and grabbed him, and handed him a pheasant, "This is for you." ”

It was obvious that the little boy wanted it, but after hesitation, he shook his head.

"Give it to you, take it. Wu Zhongyuan stuffed the pheasant into his arms.

The little boy held the pheasant and looked up at him.

"What's your name?" Wu Zhongyuan asked with a smile.

The boy did not answer his question, whispered thank you, and turned west with the pheasant in his arms.

Hearing this person speak, Wu Zhongyuan knew that he had lost his eyes, although this person had a dark complexion, he was not a boy, but a little girl.

Now there are fire pits in the house, and cooking is in the house, hanging the clay urn, and cooking the pheasant is already more than eight o'clock in the evening.

Since there was no bedding, the straw could only be dried and used as a mattress.

The house is ventilated, it must be very cold at night, and no one comes to send him bedding and food, there is a saying that there is a bitterness and self-knowledge, some things can only be borne by oneself, there is no need to be depressed and depressed because you have not received the care of others.

Early in the morning, yesterday's black and thin little girl came, bringing a small bag of taro-like things, look closely, it is really taro, the taro at this time is not the same as the modern taro, the tuber has few branches, it is whole, about the size of an egg.

"Here you go. The little girl put down the taro and wanted to leave.

"Wait," Wu Zhongyuan hurriedly called out to her, "What's your name?"

The little girl hesitated and did not answer immediately.

"If you don't say it, I'll call you a little in the future. Wu Zhongyuan said with a smile.

Little is not a nice name, and the little girl is very repulsive, "My name is Arlo." ”

"Ah Luo, where do you live, and who else is at home?" asked Wu Zhongyuan.

Arlo didn't answer, turned around and wanted to leave.

"Can you do me a favor?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

Arlo stopped and turned to look at him.

"I can't climb high now, can you help me fix the roof?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

Arlo looked up at the roof, then at the straw in the house, and without speaking, he came over and began to clean up the straw.

Covering the roof with straw is not just a matter of putting it on, it needs to be combed and bundled, and Arlo's movements are very skillful, and it can be seen that she has done similar things more than once before.

While Ah Luo was busy, Wu Zhongyuan took the opportunity to talk to her, Ah Luo didn't say much, usually asked a few words before answering, but as long as he spoke, he could understand something about her, Ah Luo is thirteen years old this year, his father was killed by the enemy in the early war, his mother was taken captive, and she now lives with her grandmother and lives in the west of the village.

Helping Wu Zhongyuan repair the roof, Ah Luo helped him clean his room and yard again, although his residence was broken, there was a small courtyard, which was also one of the many different treatments for people with and without surnames.

Ah Luo was about to leave when he was done, and Wu Zhongyuan asked again, "What are you going to do today?"

Arlo didn't know why, and looked at him suspiciously.

Wu Zhongyuan said, "I'm going out hunting, can you come with me?"

Arlo did not agree, but he did not refuse, but hesitated.

"I can't hold anything heavy now, you come with me and help me bring my prey back. Wu Zhongyuan said.

"Are you sick?" Arlo asked.

Wu Zhongyuan nodded, "Yes, if I don't hunt, I won't have anything to eat." ”

Arlo said, "You have a family name and can get more and better food than we do, why don't you go and get it?"

"I came from far away to save a warrior in purple, and they rewarded me with my surname," Wu Zhongyuan said, "but the people here don't like me, otherwise they wouldn't have given me such a dilapidated house." ”

Wu Zhongyuan's words aroused Ah Luo's curiosity, "Where are you from?"

"A far, far away place. Wu Zhongyuan said.

"How far?" Arlo asked.

"It's so far away that I can't go back. Wu Zhongyuan smiled, a wry smile.

Ah Luo naturally didn't know what Wu Zhongyuan meant by this, but she still understood the superficial meaning, "Okay, I'll go with you, but I have to go back and talk to my grandmother." ”

"Okay," Wu Zhongyuan smiled and nodded, "I'll wait for you from the West Gate." ”

Arlo nodded in agreement and turned to go.

The two of them set out at about eight o'clock in the morning and returned before noon, at which point Arlo threw himself to the ground, which he admired, because he always found the hiding place of his prey, and the arrows were not missed.

Since the two of them did not go far, they did not hunt the larger prey, a string of turtledoves, two rabbits, and a few mountain rats, the kind he had eaten before. Rather eat two taels of birds, do not eat half a catty of beasts is a modern saying, at this time beasts are more popular than birds, first, they have more body fat, and secondly, the fur of beasts can be made into clothes.

Wu Zhongyuan only left the string of turtledoves, and gave the rest to Ah Luo. At this time, the distribution system was somewhat similar to the division of labor system of the people's communes in the sixties and seventies, and it was not absolutely average, but focused and shifted according to the income of labor.

On the way back, Wu Zhongyuan and Wu Shaoyong had a meeting, and when they saw the bow and arrow on Wu Zhongyuan's body, Wu Shaoyong's face became ugly.

It didn't take long for Ah Tong to come over and ask for a bow and arrow, she naturally wouldn't say that Wu Shaoyong wouldn't let her borrow it, only that she was going out hunting.

Wu Zhongyuan didn't say anything, and returned the bow and arrow to her with a smile.

In the evening, Wu Shaoyong came, hostile, "I see that you are almost fine, it's time to assign you an errand, we don't raise idlers in Daqiu." ”

"I don't need you to raise me. Wu Zhongyuan Zhengse said.

"If you live here, you should work," Wu Shaoyong said, "Don't say that I bullied you, now give you two choices, aren't you good at archery, you can go out hunting, but you don't have the right to distribute it yourself, and all the hunting proceeds must be handed over." ”

Wu Zhongyuan sneered.

Wu Shaoyong said again, "Second, aren't you running fast, going back and forth to Daqiu and other cities in the future, besieging the city, and delivering news to us." ”

"What if I don't choose either?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"Then hand over the Qi Cultivation Cards and go back to your hometown. Wu Shaoyong said loudly.

The sentence "This is my hometown, I am more qualified to stand here than you" has already reached his mouth, and in the end he forcibly held back, took out the wooden card from his arms that recorded the method of practicing the qi of the cave god and threw it to Wu Shaoyong, "As a man, your heart is too narrow-minded. ”

No one likes to be evaluated, and no one likes to hear negative evaluations, listening to Wu Zhongyuan's words, Wu Shaoyong was furious, "Who do you say is narrow-minded?"

"I'm talking about you. Wu Zhongyuan looked him straight in the eye.

Wu Shao had the courage to raise his hand urgently, but after raising his hand, he suddenly thought that he couldn't explain to the top after killing him, so he had to withdraw his hand angrily, "Get out." ”

Wu Zhongyuan said, "I was injured to save Wu Chen, and I won't leave until the injury is healed." ”

Wu Shaoyong sneered disdainfully, "When will your injuries heal? Ten days, ten months, or ten years?"

"It won't take that long, I'll be gone in seven days......"
