Four, four, four, borrowing wall
Han Yiming and Shen Ruofu both stayed aside, never expecting that there would be so many women living in this house, each older than the other. The old woman was very old, but she could still tell that she was from the same family as the women before her. Although his face is old, his demeanor and demeanor can still see the similarities with the previous women. Even the appearance is slightly similar. Lu Jingxin had already jumped up, walked to the door, saluted the old woman, and stretched out his hand to support the old woman: "This old man, our brothers are passing by here, and it seems that they can't go today." Can I please your old man and borrow it here for one night?"
The old woman was picked up by him, sent to the bedside and sat down, before she could speak, Lu Jingxin had already said: "Senior brother, quickly fetch water for the old man, and wash the ladle first." Han Yiming said "oh", hurriedly went to the sink to wash the scoop, scooped a scoop of water, held it in both hands, and handed it to the old woman. The old woman didn't have time to speak, so she took the scoop first, drank a few sips of water, wiped the corners of her mouth, and then said: "Well, a few guests, my house is full of female dependents, it is really inconvenient to stay here, please don't be surprised." ”
Han Yiming knew that this house was narrow, and there were already these old and young women, so it was really inconvenient for them to stay overnight. But suddenly my heart moved, although there are no fierce beasts here, but this family has no men, but it is still very strange that they can still live here safely. If there were a lot of men living here, it would make sense. If a fierce beast comes, the man can at least resist it for a while, but how can a few weak female streams resist it? Besides, the treasure light of Senior Brother Shen's sword is really pointing directly at this side, and this family is afraid that it will really be impressive!
But I heard Senior Brother Lu say: "This old man, we also know that your family is full of female dependents, so it is inconvenient to keep me waiting here." But here is a wilderness, and I can't find a more suitable place to rest for a while, so I have to ask your old man to open up and let us spend the night in front of your house. Your old man's house is full of female dependents, which is really inconvenient, so we only borrow the open space in front of your old man's house, and never step into the house. The old woman hesitated for a while, and said slowly: "This, this is not very good!" Lu Jingxin said: "Your old man doesn't have to take care of us." We have dry food with us, but we just borrow a piece of treasure in front of your old man's house, and leave overnight. This is also a deserted place, and if any beasts come, we can still defend your old man for a while. As for the inside of the house, we will never step into half a step, and please rest assured!"
The old woman obviously didn't expect Lu Jingxin to speak so well, paused for a moment, and said, "Since they are all sleeping outside the house, what is the difference between the outside of my house and other places? Han Yiming couldn't help but be a little soft-hearted, if it wasn't for the senior brother's instructions first, maybe he would have asked the senior brother not to embarrass this old woman anymore, as the old woman said, what is the difference between her outside the house and other places?
However, Lu Jingxin said: "Old man, it's convenient." Although there is no difference here and there, it is always better to have a leaning back. It is better to have a wall to lean on than to have nothing to rely on. When we go out and see someone's house, we always feel warmer in our hearts. is a beggar, and he always likes to sit and lie in front of people's doors. For the sake of the word steadfastness. We have been sleeping out a lot of camps, and we can't always be steady. Don't borrow a single grass or thing from your old man's house, just borrow a wall to lean on for a night, and ask your old man to agree. "Soft grinding and hard foaming, that is, there is no intention of leaving.
The old woman was silent for a long time before she said, "That's it." I lend you a wall to lean on. But I have said beforehand, and you must not set foot in the house during the night, no matter what happens. Shen Ruofu asked before Lu Jingxin: "Old man, even if the tiger and leopard are here, can't we come in and avoid them?" Han Yiming knew that his question was the meaning of the general's army, and he didn't make a sound, just listened. But he heard the old woman say, "Of course, even if the tiger and leopard come, you can't come in." I don't care where you run for your life, but you are not allowed to take half a step into the house!"
This old woman is really tough, Han Yiming and Shen Ruofu glanced at each other, but heard Lu Jingxin already say: "According to your old man's meaning, even if you come to the tiger and leopard today, we will not set foot in here for half a step." Han Yiming was puzzled in his heart, listening to this, it was unspeakably awkward. But since Senior Brother Lu said so, he must have his intentions, so don't worry too much about it for the time being, just wait and see what happens.
After a while, the room became darker and darker, and Lu Jingxin said, "Two junior brothers, let's go outside the house." Han Yiming and Shen Ruofu came out of the house with him and sat down in the corner. The inside of the house was much darker than the outside, and the old woman did not light the lamp, and there was still light outside, but the light was much dimmer, but the surroundings were still clearly visible. The old woman in the room had been sitting on the edge of the bed, as if she had not moved. Han Yiming quietly glanced into the room twice, and it was already pitch black, so black that he couldn't see his fingers!
The three of them sat under the eaves by the wall, and passed for a while, only to hear the procrastination approach, and with a "bang", the wooden door was closed, and the old woman came to close the door by herself. Han Yiming only felt indescribably strange in his heart, but he couldn't say where it was weird. Lu Jingxin lit the fire on the side, but he couldn't light it, there was really nothing to do, so the three of them had to chew the cold hard cake and swallow it, barely filling their stomachs.
This scallion pancake is very fragrant when eaten hot, but it is very dry when eaten cold. I can't light a fire here, I can't bake it, so I can only eat it cold. Han Yiming also felt hungry, so he barely ate two slices, and when he saw that Shen Ruofu next to him didn't eat it, he threw a piece of scallion pancake in his hand and didn't put it away. For a while, even Lu Jingxin didn't eat it, and the three of them sat silently by the wall.
After a while, Shen Ruofu took the piece of bread in his hand, walked to the door, knocked on the door and said, "Old man, presumably you haven't had dinner yet, I have a scallion pancake here, put it on the threshold for your old man." Ignoring the silence of the house, he reached out and plucked a large leaf from a nearby tree, and wiped it on his clothes before placing the scallion pancake on it and the leaf on the threshold.
Shen Ruofu and Han Yiming completely forgot that the old woman was silent in the house, and they must not have eaten dinner, seeing that the senior brother was so careful, they all glanced at each other and made a grimace. But except for the rare sound of shuffling footsteps, there was no light in the house. It was getting darker and darker, and none of the three women he had seen before had returned.
