Today is the 100-day banquet of the little son of the owner of Jiudao Mountain Villa.

The owner of Jiudao Mountain Villa has a wide range of travel, handed over to the powerful, handed over to the bandits, has abundant family wealth, has a son in half a hundred years, since it is a big celebration, this invitation is sent down, the guests who go up the mountain to congratulate are endless, Zhuangzi from the open space opposite the hall, set up hundreds of banquets, the guests are seated according to the dignity and humility, and there are thousands of people in the bustling.

The family of the villa was not enough, so the most humble slaves also came in handy, two thousand slaves washed the old mud on their faces, changed into a new set of red clothes, under the assignment of the chief steward, carried water, chopped wood, burned fire, served food, the scene was very lively.

When the red lantern is hung high and the guests are dispersed, the chief butler sends a message from the owner of the village that the servants who have positions in the village can enter the hall to eat, and all the rest go to the open space opposite the hall, and each person will share a bowl of leftover dishes from the guests, plus a bowl of white rice.

A group of slaves were elated, although all they got were leftovers, but they had not smelled the smell of meat for many years, and the slaves who had been allocated the leftovers did not have time to find a place to squat, so they used their mouths to nibble on the bowl of colorful leftovers, eager to eat the bowl into their stomachs.

Xiao Lan stood at the back of the line with an empty bowl, busy all day, but in the morning, after eating two dried steamed buns, her stomach was already hungry and panicked, when she was cleaning up the table, when she saw the half of the sauce duck on the plate, she couldn't help but secretly tear a piece of shredded meat and stuff it into her mouth, the fragrant and glutinous taste was simply wonderful.

There were too many slaves waiting to divide the dishes, Xiao Lan held the empty bowl, stood on her toes and looked forward, the winding line slowly moved around a few towering trees in the direction of the hall, she swallowed her saliva and looked left and right, where did Brother Xiong Chen go?

I saw him tidy up the table just now, why did he disappear in a blink of an eye? Could it be that he was at the front of the line?

Twilight soon filled the surroundings of the lodge, and the hall was brightly lit, while the outside was lit only by a few torches, and the servant who was distributing the dishes was dividing the dishes as he stuffed the meat into his mouth: "Go, next, hurry...... Uncle is also going to eat, so I don't have time to divide it slowly for you. ”

A long bolt of lightning swept through the dark sky, and then a thunderclap sounded, and the wind suddenly rose violently.

"It's going to rain......"

The servant who distributed the dishes threw the spoon in his hand and shouted: "Come and grab it yourself, whoever grabs it will eat it, and if you can't grab it, go back and drink water." ”

He clapped his hands and walked into the hall to eat.

The slaves who had not yet received the leftovers suddenly became chaotic, and naturally grabbed them with great strength, and the old and weak women and children could only hold the empty bowls and look at them with blank eyes.

Xiao Lan held the empty bowl, stunned and looked at the companions who were running fast around her, in the face of hunger and food, people are just like animals, of course, they only care about themselves, who will think of their companions?

"Xiaolan, come here. ”

A low cry came from behind the big tree that Xiao Lan was leaning on, and Xiao Lan's eyes, who was feeling sad, lit up: "Brother Xiong Chen, you called me?"

A hand stretched out from behind the tree and grabbed Xiaolan's arm: "Come, follow me." ”

"I ...... I'm hungry and can't get food. ”

"I know, I have it here, let's go over there and eat slowly. ”

The wind was blowing, the leaves were blowing, Xiong Chen took Xiao Lan's hand, walked through the hall, and walked along the flower path.

"Brother Xiong Chen, where are you taking me?"

"Lakeside...... It was quiet and we could eat slowly. ”

"It's going to rain heavily......"

"Don't be afraid, I've hidden a rain canopy over there to keep out the rain. ”

Xiong Chen took Xiaolan to the woods by the lake, and the raindrops began to fall like soybeans, and the dense forest covered most of the rain, but many fell in through the gaps between the leaves.

Xiong Chen fumbled in the grass for a while, took out a half-used canopy and draped it over Xiao Lan, and took out an oiled paper bag from his arms: "You must be hungry? Sit down, this stone is still dry...... Look, Brother Xiong Chen has found you a fat chicken. ”

A complete big fat chicken, shiny oil, although it was already cold, but the tempting aroma still wafted into Xiao Lan's nose without obstruction, Xiao Lan sniffed, fat chicken, I have never eaten fat chicken since I was a child.

"Chicken ...... Where are you from?"

"By the way...... Those leftovers are dirty, we are people, not dogs, why eat them?"

He tore a chicken leg and stuffed it into Xiao Lan's hand: "Eat quickly, you must eat to your heart's content." ”

Xiao Lan held the legendary chicken leg and looked at the omnipotent Brother Xiong Chen with a look of adoration, Brother Xiong Chen smiled at her and said, "Silly girl, aren't you so hungry that your legs are weak? Why don't you eat it quickly?"

"What about you, you eat ...... too"

"Hmmm......"

The two of them were in turmoil, and a chicken soon had a skeleton left, Xiao Lan licked the corners of her mouth and said, "It's delicious...... It's so big, it's the first time I've eaten chicken, and I didn't expect it to be so delicious. ”

Indescribable sadness flashed in Xiong Chen's eyes, and he threw the chicken skeleton in his hand into the grass: "In the future, we will raise a group of chickens in front of the house, and we can eat them whenever we want, okay?"

Xiao Lan smiled, reached out and took some rain to drink, of course I want to raise a group of chickens and ducks in front of my house, so that there are not only eggs and duck eggs to eat, but also meat to eat...... But...... Now we are just a group of ...... raised by Jiudao Mountain Villa Chickens and ducks, when the manager is upset, it's a good fight, and this little life is gone.

"Xiao Lan, let's rest for a while, and when the rain is light, we will leave Jiudao Villa. ”

Xiao Lan looked at Xiong Chen in shock, thinking that she had misheard: "Leave...... Brother Xiong Chen, you're not talking nonsense, are you?"

Xiong Chen held Xiao Lan's hand hard, and his voice was extremely firm: "No, remember what I told you last time?" Since that day, I have been constantly looking for opportunities and preparations, Xiao Lan, I have found a way to escape, tonight the people in the villa are busy with the little boy's 100-day banquet, they must be very tired, negligent in their precautions, Xiang Manager They are all drinking in the front hall now, and they don't have time to come back to the West Chamber to light the number of people, let's go tonight, it is the best time. ”

Xiao Lan's heart was pounding, and a strange light flashed in her eyes: "Lu, what path have you found?"

Jiudao Villa, well-guarded, can go out, there is only one way, is to go down the archway, that is a broad road, but that road, not for these lowly slaves to walk, but the owner of the family and the distinguished guests are qualified to walk.

A huge white lightning streaked across the sky, the sky thundered and rolled, Xiao Lan shrunk her thin shoulders, Xiong Chen's arm was long, and he hugged her into his arms: "Don't be afraid, I'm by your side, I will definitely protect you, Xiao Lan, believe Xiong Chen, we still have a long, long way to go together in the future." ”
