Chapter 71: Xiyuan Village
Early in the morning, looking at the broken carriage, the weaving core kicked the broken wood with his foot, and picked up the fallen luggage with his heart.
Luo Er looked at the texture of the weaving core, to see if he could still rescue the rear compartment No, he broke the wheel of the car, and suddenly broke into two pieces, thinking, it's over, this car is not saved.
"Sister, just scold me and make me comfortable. ”
"Don't scold, I just make you feel guilty. Weaving Core said angrily.
Rohr obediently retreated to the horse's side, slotting the horse to relieve his embarrassment, not daring to step forward and offend the weaver too much.
In the middle of the sound, the weaving core qi disappeared a lot, and she also sorted out the dropped luggage, there were three big bags of nearly three hundred catties, she pointed to the three bags of luggage, and said: "Wait for these two bags to be tied to the horse's body, you can carry one bag yourself." ”
"Okay, I'll carry a bag later. Don't you really scold me?" Rohr didn't think it was a big deal, and deliberately asked again.
"Don't scold, don't bother to scold. Weaving Core raised his hand to print the beads of sweat on his forehead, "I have time to scold you, it's better to think about how to deal with the consequences." ”
After hearing this, Rohr said with a hippie smile: "Sister, you are so good." ”
"Don't come to please me, look at the map where we are, see if we can continue to go on, or go back to the town yesterday to get the carriage. ”
They want to get a carriage, it is also a helpless move, although the cultivator is as fast as the wind, but lose in physical strength, as if you are the world champion in the 100-meter sprint, in the face of that long distance, you should take the car or have to take the car, so there is a way to know the horsepower.
Rohr opens the map and looks at the surrounding terrain to confirm his location.
For a long time, Rohr thought that his current location was a little bit away from the town he was yesterday.
Yesterday, the town where they were located happened to be at the edge of the city, once they passed, there was no town behind, and if there was a town, the only way to have a town was to go to Jingtao City behind.
Moreover, because Weaving Core insisted on leaving the town in order to avoid what she thought was the subsequent danger, during this time, she hurried up and hurried for almost three days a day, far away from the whole of the city, and it would take at least four or five days to walk back at this moment.
In this barren mountain with no home in front and no store behind, Luo Er secretly gasped, and then timidly explained the situation to the weaving core at the moment.
Weaving Core glared at Rohr, and then touched his smooth chin, his dark eyes fluttered, thinking that it would take at least six or seven days to go back and forth to the town yesterday, and he didn't know if the thieves who were ambushing Rohr were still there. After a moment's thought, she asked if there were any nearby villages.
"It's about a day's walk on the avenue, and then you can cross the trail to a village called Xiyuan. ”
"Then go on, go to Naxiyuan Village to see if there is a carpenter master who can take a carriage, if not, buy an ox cart from the farmer and hurry away. ”
"Oxcart tail? That's too casual, isn't it?"
"If you can be low-key when you go out, you can be low-key, is it possible that you still want to use the eight-lift sedan chair to carry you?"
“.......”
Following.
In the sky, a flock of geese lined up in a neat formation and flew tiredly in the dim twilight, looking for the unknown winter refuge.
On the ground, the weaver led the horse, the horse carried two bags of luggage, and Rohr carried one bag and opened the way ahead. The two of them walked on this country road, and the withered weeds spread to the middle of the mountain village road, almost covering the road.
Walking on such a path, Rohr couldn't help but wonder, is this road not walked?
Walking through this section of the path, the field of vision gradually broadened, there were hundreds of acres of fertile land in front of it, but in this harvest season, there were no grass roots, and there were only a piece of withered yellow weeds. The canal was overgrown with weeds and made a choking sound of running water, echoing the lonely sunset. A fat vole walked leisurely through it, as if the field was their paradise.
Walking a little further on, the outline of the Xiyuan Village gradually came into view, like a desolate old man lying there, the afterglow of the setting sun shining there, reflecting its loneliness. The eclipse of smoke wafted from the blue brick house, which aroused the thoughts of the heartbroken people in this lonely sunset, which made people so sad.
This Xiyuan Village is too remote, since the morning to now.
Luo Er couldn't help but complain secretly in his heart, and then hurried over to ask for a night while it was still dark.
After entering the village, there were women dressed in coarse linen clothes, they rolled up their sleeves, rolled up their sleeves, and were busy with their work, some grinding, some feeding chickens, some collecting clothes, and some returning from the fields. When they found that outsiders were coming to the village, they all stopped what they were doing, their faces were panicked, and they hurriedly pulled their children past and stared at the two of them vigilantly.
"Sister, they seem to be afraid of us. Rohr leaned over to the core and whispered.
"Well, something must have happened. ”
At this time, the whole village was silent, and none of these women dared to move, let alone make a sound, only exchanging glances with each other. The sound of unknown birds chirping in the distance is even more disturbing.
How could the playful and active Weaving Core stand this oppressive scene, she took the lead in breaking the situation, walked up to a woman and asked, "Hello Auntie, I want to see if there are carpenters in this village." ”
The woman looked Luo Er and Weaving Core up and down, and saw that it was a girl in her early twenties, with beautiful eyebrows, and a young man, and felt harmless, and immediately let go of her vigilance, but still cowered and introduced an old carpenter at the end of the village.
After bowing and thanking him, he and Luo Er followed the route of the aunt to the end of the village.
After they left, the other women in the vicinity gathered around and asked what the aunt was here for.
After knowing the reason, the women thought to themselves that the two children were very handsome, and hoped that they would be able to go home safely.
At the end of the village, the two of them found the carpenter's house in the mouth of the aunt in the dim night, only to see all kinds of wood piled up at the door and a lot of finished products.
Weaver knocked on the door, and the door was opened by an old man with gray hair, dressed in a shabby, patched sackcloth, and his face was full of folds, which crushed his eyes and formed a triangle.
Seeing that the old carpenter was driving, the weaver bowed and showed his intention to make a carriage.
When the old carpenter saw that there was a visitor, and it was a big business, his face did not make much waves, as if he had lost his soul, and then sat down on the wooden bench in front of the door with a dry cigarette in his mouth.
"Old man, who's coming?"
In the carpenter's room, a loud female voice was heard, and then the carpenter's aunt came out.
The carpenter's aunt was also dressed in coarse linen clothes, her hair was gray, but her face was still ruddy and angry, and after she listened to the weaving core and explained her intention again, she blamed the old carpenter: "Old man, you are stupid, you don't do any business?"
"Hey, what do women know!" the old carpenter scolded impatiently.
"Ignore this old man, this old man is stupid. Aunt carpenter waved her hand and slapped the old carpenter a few times, then reached out and pulled her over the weaving core, "Come, don't stand outside the door, hurry into the house and talk." ”
After tying up the horse, Rohr also entered the house, and a fresh smell of wood came to him, and he looked at the mountains of woodwork, chaise longues, low stools, dining tables, etc.
After the carpenter aunt beckoned them to sit down, she ignored the rice being cooked in the back kitchen, and directly discussed with the weaver core.
In the end, the two sides agreed that because they said that the carriage should be as simple as possible, it was scheduled to be completed in three days to pick up the goods.
Seeing that the matter was discussed, Weaving Core asked tentatively: "Auntie, can I ask you a question?"
Seeing Weaving Core's cautious appearance, the carpenter aunt knew what she wanted to ask, and said, "Do you want to ask why there are no strong men in the village?"
Luo Er and Weaving Core looked at each other, and they couldn't imagine that this carpenter aunt was so direct.
"Alas, our mountain village is desperately poor, and everyone wants to improve their lives. No, wasn't the war a few months ago quite fierce? Some of our strong men went to join the army, all in order to mix up some merits and see if they could soar to the sky. ”
Aunt carpenter sighed, shook her head to express her helplessness, and then said: "The child in my family is like this, he went to the group with the men in the village, leaving us two old men, you see the old man in my family, every day mourning, getting depressed, sitting numbly in front of the door every day. ”
Luo Er and Weaving Core also expressed their helplessness, and after a few words of comfort, they wanted to leave and find a place to stay.
Seeing that Luo Er and Weaving Core were young and generous, and thought of letting them sleep on the streets, Aunt Carpenter felt unbearable, and repeatedly prevented them from going out to find a place to stay, and said: "You just stay here, my son is not here, there are just two rooms vacant, you male baby will live in my son's room, and female baby will live in the guest room." ”
The old carpenter at the door heard the arrangement of the carpenter's aunt, and did not say anything, but still smoked a dry cigarette at the door.
"It's not appropriate, is it?"
"What is suitable or not, our village does not have the kind of inn in the city, there is no place to stay, not to mention that our family has not been so lively for a long time, as for the food, coarse tea and light rice, I have to hope you understand." ”
"How are you?" asked Rohr for his opinion.
"I can sleep there, I'm fine. ”
Weaving Core smiled, this kid is pretending to be reserved now, and he doesn't know who is going to sleep in the big bed two days ago, and then she blinked her smart eyes and said with a smile: "Then the two of us will disturb you, auntie." ”
"What's polite. ”
“...........”
