After the rain, the sky is not clear, and the gray sky is abrupt, and the dark clouds are like a gray cotton cloth soaked in water, covering the top of the head, making people feel breathless and depressed for no reason.

Mo Xiaohe moved a chair, sat next to the window on the second floor of the inn, opened the window and looked around, pedestrians came and went in a hurry, their faces were solemn, the market should have been noisy, but there was a dead silence at this time, only the footsteps of passers-by and the sound of cars and horses rubbing the ground.

The town, not far from the canal, was also affected, many houses in disrepair were blown down by strong winds, and the thatched houses were the most serious, almost every house was roof lifted, and only the surrounding empty walls remained, and there was not even a place to shelter from the wind and rain.

The people who were affected by the disaster complained bitterly, those who had relatives went to their relatives, and those who did not took refuge in a broken temple in the town, the broken temple had long been out of incense, and the Guanyin Niangniang who was enshrined on the stage was missing an arm, and only the beggars settled here, and the four walls of the roof were full of cobwebs and a thick layer of dust.

From the angle of Mo Xiaohe, you can see a corner of the broken temple, the eaves at both ends, the walls are embossed colorful murals, and the red columns.

"I borrowed the inn's kitchen and made meatloaf and egg soup, as well as two side dishes."

Gu Zheng pushed open the door and saw his wife looking down and beckoning her to breakfast.

There were only a few vendors scattered around the market, and when he went out early in the morning, he got only a piece of pork hind leg, as well as potatoes, cucumbers, and peanuts.

"I seem to smell the meatloaf!"

Mo Xiaohe stood up, took the food box and put it on the table, opened it and saw that the meat patty was cut into triangles by her husband, and a piece of cake was divided into four parts, revealing the meat filling inside, the outer skin of the cake was golden and crispy, and the aroma alone made people salivate.

The egg soup is served in a large bowl with green green onions and two drops of sesame oil on top. The two side dishes are shredded potatoes, shredded potatoes are mixed with chili peppers, cucumbers and fried peanuts, there are meat and vegetarian and hot, Mo Xiaohe covered her stomach with her hands, just now she clearly heard her stomach scream.

Biting a piece of meatloaf, Mo Xiaohe gave a thumbs up, Xu Tietou has been a chef, but it is not as good as what her husband makes to her appetite, she has to always remind herself to pay attention to eating so that she didn't gobble it up, a bite of meatloaf, a bite of egg soup, I feel that the taste is light, and then a side dish with chopsticks, refreshing and refreshing, all the feelings of depression dissipate in an instant. "Did my cousin eat there?"

Mo Xiaohe was about to finish eating, and only then did she find out in her conscience that she cared about her cousin, anyway, Xu Tietou was there, and she was just hungry.

"Yes, I should have eaten it."

Gu Zheng's eyes flickered, and then he regained his calm, like a deep pool, bottomless. He met Xu Tietou in the market, pretended not to know him, bought his own ones, and came back and met people in the stove.

In order not to let his own lady starve, he directly occupied the two stoves, Xu Tietou was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks on the side, but the man was lucky and bought a few prawns, as if he wanted to make cucumber egg shrimp pie.

After a short rest for half an hour after the meal, the couple sorted out the things they had bought yesterday into a few bags, and spread a futon on the simple carriage, and the group set off for the nearest city.

From the town to the official road, the road is difficult to walk, it has rained for days, the ground concave on the road is covered with water, there are shallow pits everywhere, and the horse's hooves are trampled in the water, splashing the mud spots on the bodies of Gu Zheng and Xu Tietou, who are driving the car.

The carriage was dim, only an oil lamp was lit, Mo Daya leaned against the window, opened a gap, and threaded the needle and thread under her hand, very fast, she wore a thimble on her hand, and the thick sole of her shoes.

Mo Xiaohe sat opposite and watched his cousin's skillful movements, and said, "Cousin, the lights are dim, look carefully, how good it is to buy ready-made, and you don't need a few dollars, why do you still work hard to do it yourself?" ”

She can't use her hands, she can't make clothes, she can't make shoes, what she used to wear at home was made by Aunt Zhang, Mo Xiaohe felt a little sorry for her husband, she couldn't do it, it was just that it took a long time.

Since she was pregnant, Gu Zheng secretly collected the needle and thread and didn't let her bother, so along the way, except for eating, drinking and watching the scenery, Mo Xiaohe always maintained a state of idleness.

"I can't buy it, Xu Tietou has big and small feet, and the size of his feet is different, and the purchase is always not as suitable as what he did."

Xu Tie has an old disease in his head and legs, and he is in pain when it rains on a cloudy day, and he has been sick in the past few days, his leg joints are swollen, and he walks with a limp, which looks a little awkward. When he came to town, because of the problem of riding an ox cart, Mo Daya also had an argument with him.

Death wants to save face and suffer the crime, it is the kind of person Xu Tietou who obviously has to endure the sting when he takes a step, but because he is a gentleman, he refuses to get on the ox cart, and the two of them quarrel in private.

Half an hour later, Mo Daya bit the thread with her teeth, carefully put away the needle and thread, and put it in the basket with a lid, she rubbed her eyes, and it took a long time to get used to the light in the carriage, and sighed faintly.

"What's wrong?"

Mo Xiaohe covered her mouth with her hand and yawned, in the past few days, her cousin's face was not good, but Yingluo was there, and the two of them always had endless words, so they could only ignore Mo Daya, she thought about it for a long time before asking.

In life, no matter who you are, you will encounter difficult things, but no matter what, you have to live, and there are some things that you can't choose, so you can only passively bear them, be big, and laugh at everything.

"You and Xiaoxiu have bodies, I'm really happy for you."

Thinking of the poor child who had nothing to do with her, Mo Daya wet her eyes, sometimes, she had to force herself to be ruthless and comfort herself, her son really followed Li Er's unobtrusive father, it was better not to give birth.

Xu Tietou is not young, and the old Xu family only has one single seedling, if she can't give birth in the future, in this generation, she will become a desperate head, Mo Daya always feels a little sorry for him.

"Cousin, Sister Yingluo said that you still have a chance, but you hurt your body before, and it's not easy to recuperate."

If you have the opportunity, do your best. The prescription is simple, but a few of the herbs are rare, and Yingluo has written to the black market to find it, and I believe that there will be news soon.

The road conditions were too bad, the carriage stopped and stopped, from morning to night, it took almost a day, and the group had not been able to enter the city, seeing that the sky was dark, and there was a hill on the official road in front of them, blocking everyone's way.

There were more than a dozen horse-drawn carriages parked around, and there was no one to help them. On the top of the hill, there are a few broken trees, which are at least 100 years old, and the trees have deep roots and are uprooted by the wind, which shows that the wind has a very terrifying ability to destroy at that time.

"Brother, we will definitely not be able to get over today, so we can only rest here for one night."

When the carriage stopped, there were people around to greet each other, not because they didn't help, but because they didn't have tools, and if they were digging with their bare hands, they wouldn't be enough for three or five days. They were all merchants, transporting goods to Kyoto, and there were no small villages around for dozens of miles, and some of them rode fast horses to report to the yamen, hoping that tomorrow the officials would help find a way. "What kind of luck have you been lately, drinking cold water sticking to your teeth, walking a cartload of goods, being robbed half of it by that group of robbers, and not letting us people live?"

Some people scolded and scolded, and when the people around heard it, they followed suit. There are losses in business to make money, but they are too aggrieved, and they encounter rain, strong winds, and delays in the trip, even if they don't keep the trip, in the end the things have not been saved, it is they who begged their grandfather to tell their grandmother, kneeling and kowtowing, so that they can barely keep a small half, at least not to lose all their money.

"But no, alas......"

The arms can't twist the thighs, and the little people can fight against the army? The leader of the people said very bluntly, there is a lack of military supplies, and as the common people of Dawu, they have the obligation to support the army.

Mo Xiaohe sat in the carriage for nearly a day, her legs and feet were sore, she got out of the car and walked around, listening to the people around her chatting their teeth, and everyone unanimously condemned the banditry behavior of the Great Wu army. In fact, they may not know, but they are just missing some possessions, and the people are fine, and they are okay.

"Whew! To support military supplies, as the common people do not understand, chicken, duck, fish, meat, rice and noodles, cotton, cloth, medicinal herbs, all work. ”

It was a woman in her early thirties who spoke, dressed neatly and informally, and she spat casually, "However, the group of geese plucked their feathers, and they didn't need my cart of things, but they snatched half of the carriage!" On weekdays, businessmen run outside all year round, and men and women should relax a little bit, and after someone heard it, they joked, "There are still things that are not needed by that group of people?" What kind of business do you do? "The menstrual belt used by women on small days, they used one to show me!" Can the big guys still pad under their butts and use them as diapers? ”

The woman was very speechless, and met with a group of Dawu soldiers from Kyoto, as a Dawu people, she did what she could, she did not object, the problem was, it had to be used. "I heard that we lost several games in a row, is it because those people drank too much water, had an urgency to urinate, couldn't find a toilet on the battlefield, and were so red in the face that they needed this thing?"

The men laughed while saying, before the war, everyone brought one, to ensure that a fight is over, the soldiers are dry and refreshing, the menstrual affair is so wonderful, the woman is definitely a great achievement.

"Hehe, I don't think it's because I drank too much water, but because I was scared to pee my pants by the Dayue soldiers!"

The woman doesn't appreciate it at all, the loss is her own, it's useless for others to say cool words, it's not that she grows up others to destroy her own prestige, just those soldiers of Dawu, one by one, have never suffered hardship, fine skin and tender meat, say something unpleasant, the wind is strong, the hairstyle is blown up, and they have to use a small mirror to make it.

Life and death are at stake, don't forget the stinky beauty, the Dayue soldiers came over with machetes, so they died purely by themselves, and asked her to say that there is nothing wrong with peace of mind when the subject country is at ease, and the gold mine will be given to Dayue in a slippery way.
