Sojourn in a farmhouse
Anjing turned into a dream, and Xiao Chuan and I walked all the way north, but everywhere we went was barren and inhabited. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Looking at the endless wasteland in front of me, I couldn't hold my breath, "Xiao Chuan, we won't go the wrong way, right?
Xiao Chuan comforted me and said: "No, Anjing leads to different states and counties in all directions, no matter how you go, you can't go wrong, maybe we haven't reached it yet." ”
"Do you know which state we're heading to?"
Xiao Chuan thought for a while and said, "To the north is to Yingzhou." ”
I smiled, looked at the barrenness that stretched from my feet to the distance, and said softly: "Yingzhou is fine." ”
The sun is turning westward, and the wind is cooling down.
Just when I was worried about whether I would sleep in the wild tonight, Xiao Chuan suddenly shouted, "Sister, look, there is cooking smoke!"
I looked at the place where Xiao Chuan pointed, and sure enough, there was smoke curling not far away, "It looks like it's a village, let's go and have a look." ”
We quickened our pace, and within a few steps we saw large tracts of fertile fields, some of which had already been harvested and were level, while others had not yet been harvested, and the rice was swaying in the wind, which was very beautiful. Walking slowly in the fields, connected with the fiery clouds in the sky, it would be nice to have a camera, I must take this moment!
Then a boy with an ox came up to me and said, "Are you from a foreign country?"
Xiao Chuan and I glanced at each other, and I smiled and said, "Well, we passed through here, and we saw that this place was picturesque, and I couldn't leave." ”
When the children heard me complimenting me on the beauty of their hometown, they naturally became proud, and said, "Since you like it, why don't you stay here for a few more days." It's evening now, if the two sisters don't dislike it, how about going to my house and sitting?"
It was rare to meet such an enthusiastic child, and Xiao Chuan and I were overjoyed, "Thank you very much." ”
The little ones led the oxen in front, and we followed behind the oxen. The child sang a simple and tactful ballad, and the old cow flicked his tail and walked slowly step by step. Skirting the fields, I saw the entrance of the village, where many children were chasing and fighting outside, and women kept shouting for their children to come home for dinner.
When we crossed a small road, we saw a small house, and the child shouted, "Grandma!
The child tied the old ox to a stake, and out of the house came an old woman who was over seventy years old, she was hunched on her back, and she still held a basket of vegetables in her hand, and the child ran over and hugged the old woman, and the old woman saw her grandson running over, and also put down the basket and hugged him. I took Xiao Chuan and walked to the old woman and said, "My sister and I are from Anjing, and we have only arrived here after a day's walk, and we are worried that there is no place to spend the night, and I hope that the old lady will take us in for the night." ”
The old woman smiled kindly: "The two girls don't have to be so formal, and I don't know anything as a woman from a mountain village, come in and sit down, I'll cook first, and I'll clean up the house for you." ”
Xiao Chuan and I are finally at ease. Xiao Chuan said: "Old lady, don't bother, you say which house we live in, I'll clean it up." ”
The old woman poured water for us and said, "Well, how can we do it, you are guests, where is the reason for guests to clean up the house?" ”
I took the water she poured and said, "It's a great grace for the old lady to take us in, and you said earlier that you don't need to be formal, so you should ask Xiao Chuan to clean up, and it will save you the trouble." ”
The old lady smiled: "Then let it be, the house on the east side is quite tidy, you can live there." ”
Xiao Chuan went to the east house to clean up the house, the old lady went to cook, and I accompanied the child to play in the house. He sat honestly next to me reading a book, not at all as lively as he had been when I first met him. I asked him, "What's your name?"
He didn't reply to my words, and I didn't know how to end it, when the old lady came out with the food and said, "Don't be strange, girl, he doesn't pay attention to people when he reads books." ”
"I see, but I bothered rashly. ”
"The child's name is Meng Ting, and the villagers call him Tingwa, what is the girl's name?"
"My name is An Ruolan, and my sister's name is Xiao Chuan. ”
The old lady went to serve the food again, and I went with me to help. The kitchen was very small, but it was well organized, and when the old lady saw me coming with me, she hurriedly said, "Miss An is here to do something, it's dirty and messy here, go and sit in front." ”
"I'll see if I can help. As I spoke, I took the bowl from the old lady's hand, "Don't be so polite to the old lady, we will follow the local customs, and you will treat us as your family." ”
The old lady nodded: "That's it." Hey, you're from Anjing, where are you going?"
I sighed and said, "We have no relatives in Ankyung, so we want to leave Ankyung and find another way out, and we don't know where to go." ”
"My son and daughter-in-law are also making a living in Anjing now, and they don't come home all the year round, so they leave a little grandson to be my companion. If you don't dislike me for being old and useless, can you stay and be my companion?"
I was a little surprised to hear these words, "You say, we can stay?"
The old lady smiled and said, "Yes." People always like to be lively when they are old. If you stay, this house will be more lively. ”
At this time, Xiao Chuan packed up the house and walked out, his eyes were red when he heard this, and the ruthless family affection in the deep palace was extinguished, how could he not be moved when he heard such words at first glance. The old lady is so old and lonely, no one will refuse her request ruthlessly, not to mention, Xiao Chuan and I are helpless at the moment, and we don't know what the situation is outside, just out of Anjing, it is difficult to move an inch, survive today, and I don't know where I am tomorrow, it is better to settle down first, and then think about the future road. I took the old lady's hand and said, "We are willing to stay with you." ”
The old lady also had tears in her eyes, and nodded: "Okay, well, from now on, we will be a family." ”
"Hmm!"
