"Howling-" Peng Diao's voice came from high in the sky, Li Tianqi glanced up, but the trees were shady, and he couldn't see the sky at all......

In the dense forest, Li Tianqi and Qing'er were still talking, and before they knew it, it was noon, and at this time, Li Tianqi's stomach growled, which made Qing'er a little stunned, and she smiled: "Patronizing and talking, let's go, let's go to the nearby village to find something to eat." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Li Tianqi had little rest, but he was in good spirits, but until now his stomach had not been filled with any food, he was really hungry, and when he heard Sister Qing'er say this, he said happily: "Okay, I am indeed hungry." ”

Qing'er smiled, and walked out of the dense forest with him, "But this place is not far from the Xuanjing Gate, we still have to keep a low profile, don't make trouble." ”

"Hmm. Listen to Sister Qing'er. Li Tianqi said.

A mile east of the dense forest where they lived, there was a small village, and at this time the smoke was curling, and the calm was full of life.

I haven't felt so peaceful for a long time, and after stepping into the village, Li Tianqi felt a familiar feeling, just like the atmosphere of the chickens and dogs in Qingshui Village when they heard each other, and everyone lived peacefully.

The village was not large, and there were no restaurants or teahouses and wineries for a living, so the two had to walk to the villagers' homes.

There was a courtyard on the west side of the hill, which was quiet and chic, and although it did not look big, it was well organized, and the most important thing was that they faintly saw a peasant woman busy in the kitchen.

"Auntie!" Qing'er shouted a few times, but the peasant woman did not come out to answer the door, in desperation, she had to push open the wooden fence of the courtyard gate, and took Li Tianqi into the yard, several local chickens were suddenly frightened and ran away, and a small dog barked suddenly rushed out of the corner and barked at the two of them.

The peasant woman finally heard the strange noise, leaned out and saw the two people standing in the middle of the courtyard, so she rubbed her hands on the cloth on her body a few times, and walked out and shouted to the little dog, "Go, go!" ”

The puppy ran away, staring back at the two from time to time.

Qing'er and Li Tianqi both smiled and saluted the peasant woman.

Qing'er said, "Hello, this aunt. My brother and I are visiting relatives and are not familiar with the place, but we happen to be passing by this place at this time, but we can't find a place to eat, can it be convenient? With that, he reached out and took some broken silver and displayed it in his hand.

After hearing this, the peasant woman asked, "Are you two sisters and brothers?" Such a talented and beautiful woman, sit in the house. You don't need this lot of money in the country, so put it away. Follow me. ”

Qing'er and Li Tianqi looked at each other and smiled, and then followed the peasant woman to the main hall.

The main hall covers an area of more than two feet, simple but neat, and the slightly cracked wooden table shows that it has been used for many years, leaving traces of time on it.

Three bamboo stools are neatly arranged next to the table, which is also spotless.

"Sit here for now, and I'll go and add some food to you. As long as you're not too rough. As she spoke, the peasant woman took two large bowls from the side, poured them two glasses of water, and laid them on the table.

Qing'er smiled and said, "There is Aunt Lao, we just have to eat." ”

The peasant woman hurried back to the kitchen, and after a long time of hard work, she finally brought a pot of gruel, and some pickles, some unknown wild vegetables, and the bowls and chopsticks for the three of them.

Although they are all extremely bland things, for Li Tianqi, he feels satisfied, although the gruel is extremely clear.

He asked, "Auntie, I see that you have three stools, do you have to wait for the family to come back before eating together?" ”

The peasant woman sighed and said, "My old woman is the only one left in the house, and they have all gone to serve as soldiers, so how can they come back?" She sat down slowly, stunned.

Li Tianqi saw that he had touched the aunt's heart, and he was a little reluctant, and said softly: "I'm sorry, auntie." ”

"It's okay, I'm used to it. You're hungry too, aren't you? Serve hot. So the peasant woman said and motioned for them to eat.

Qing'er said: "Auntie, you can eat too." ”

"Hey." The peasant woman also picked up the dishes and chopsticks.

The peasant woman took a small bite of porridge and asked, "Where did you brother and sister come from, and where are you going?" This army is in chaos, and it seems that the world is going to fight again. ”

Qing'er said: "Auntie, we are from Suzhou and are going to visit relatives in Mount Emei. ”

"Oh. I heard that Suzhou is a good place, with a lot of land and resources, unlike our poor ravine. The peasant woman glanced at Li Tianqi, and then said softly, "You two look like children of rich and noble families, I wonder if you can get used to eating this country food?" ”

Li Tianqi drank two bowls of gruel with wild vegetables and pickles in a blink of an eye, and said, "Auntie, you see that I eat very well." ”

The peasant woman finally smiled and said, "Yes." When I see you, I think of me. ”

Qing'er hesitated for a moment, then asked, "I don't know what difficulties the eldest lady has?" Although we are not talented, we also have some connections and may be able to help. ”

Li Tianqi also said: "Yes, yes, my sister is very capable." ”

The peasant woman's eyes lit up, but her face suddenly became gloomy, and she said softly, "Thank you, both of you." However, although the old woman is a village woman, she also knows that this is an official business, except for the Son of Heaven who can manage it, who can manage it, so she will not work for the two. Besides, this vegetarian meal doesn't need to be so polite. ”

It seems that she misunderstood them, thinking that they were going to repay them for the hospitality.

Li Tianqi said: "Don't hide it from my aunt, I am also a military officer, and I am on vacation at the moment." He took out the seal badge of the alligator hall master from his arms, raised it and put it away, and said: "In recent years, the imperial court has recruited troops everywhere to prepare for war, and it is indeed a bit ****, but the eldest lady and let's listen to it, if we can help, it is not indispensable." ”

The peasant woman looked at the golden badge, how could she think so much, she thought that Li Tianqi must be a person with an official and a half-position, and quickly stood up, but she wanted to kneel on her knees, but seeing that Qing'er was fast, she helped the old woman: "Auntie, what are you doing?" ”

The peasant woman wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, sorted out her slightly hoarse voice and said: "This official, the old woman who protects the family and defends the country knows this reason, and she doesn't ask them to come back together, but I am sixteen years old there, but I was taken to the barracks on the way home, I heard that they have been going to Yizhou, Jiannan Province for several months, can the official take care of one or two?" ”

Li Tianqi said: "Don't worry, auntie. Yizhou is close to Tufan, Nanzhao, and Tuyuhun, and it is also a strategic point, and it must also be a place guarded by heavy troops, and now judging from the situation, there will be no large-scale battles. ”

At that time, the military system of the Tang Dynasty was that only adults were required to serve in the military, and teenagers who had reached the age of 16 did not need to serve in the military, but the standards implemented in each place were not consistent.

Qing'er asked, "I don't know what the names of my aunt's relatives are?" ”

The peasant woman said: "This is Yuan Village, there are more than a dozen families, my wife Yuan Da, and my son Yuan Jieliang. ”

Li Tianqi said: "I made a note and had the opportunity to help secretly." ”

Qing'er said: "I also have some means, why don't you find a way to get them back?" ”

The peasant woman shook her head and said, "It is our duty to contribute to the country, if everyone is not for the country, then how can the country be good?" Although the old woman does not understand many great truths, she knows this. ”

Hearing this, Li Tianqi was in awe, he didn't expect that in this poor village, there were such people who knew righteousness, and they were still peasant women.

He originally thought that this peasant woman would beg them to bring her relatives back, but he never thought that he would just let him take care of her secretly, which was indeed something he and Qing'er did not expect.

"Someone and no one?" A rough shout suddenly sounded, and at this time, the barking of dogs also sounded outside the hall, and soon the sound of dogs screaming was heard. The peasant woman hurriedly got up and walked out, Li Tianqi and Qing'er were already full and stood up, while Qing'er quietly put a silver ingot on the table. The two stood by the door, quietly looking out.

Three people dressed as Tang Jun stood proudly in the courtyard, and the little dog lay on the ground a few feet away and didn't move, it seemed that it had been kicked away.

The peasant woman asked, "Master Jun, what's going on?" You ......"

The leader of the three was a man with a fat waist and a round waist, and he shouted: "What so much nonsense, the military camp needs to cook the mother-in-law, clean up and follow us!" ”

The peasant woman stammered, "This ...... Where is this going? ”

The man shouted, "Didn't you hear Lao Tzu speak? Don't talk so much nonsense, if you don't clean up, just follow along. He motioned for his two companions to step forward.

The two men stepped forward, one on the left and one on the right, and sandwiched the peasant woman in the middle.

The peasant woman was at a loss for a while, but she was a little confused, and at this time the man found that there were some dishes and chopsticks on the table in the main hall, and immediately wondered: "Huh? Aren't you, the village woman, at home alone? As he spoke, he walked back into the house.

Qing'er looked at Li Tianqi, who was hiding by the door frame opposite, and said softly: "It's weird, I feel that they have demonic energy." ”

Well? Li Tianqi was stunned in his heart, he couldn't help but think for a while, but he believed in Sister Qing'er's judgment.

At this time, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, recalling all kinds of things in the past, if it was a demon soldier who appeared here, would it be the same force as the Tang Army soldiers who learned about it on the way to trace the clues of his mother's relatives? The thought made him feel excited.

At this moment, the man had already walked to the door, he wanted to see what was wrong here, but he didn't really find the dishes and chopsticks used by the three of them, but what made him happier was the big silver bar on the table.

He looked back at his two companions and shouted, "Look at her. I'll go in and see! ”

After that, the man hurriedly stepped into the main hall, because the view was blocked, only one side of the main hall could be seen outside, and the accomplices of the two men did not see the figure of the man after he walked in.
