Chapter 70: A Knife in a Smile
Since the horse had been robbed, the two of them had to pack their important luggage and intend to abandon the carriage for the time being. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe two limped down the hill with each other's arms, and since they were injured without a horse, they finally came down the mountain in the afternoon.
Scattered along the main road were villagers returning to the farm, walking leisurely, their hands on the hoe on their shoulders, squinting their eyes, and humming the tuneless tune in their throats.
Why did Su Yingying call: "This uncle, can you do me a favor!" ”
The villager was stunned for a moment, wondering whether to step forward, but when he saw that the two were embarrassed and seemed to have suffered a lot of injuries, he asked, "Have you two been robbed?" It doesn't matter if you lose some money, you can live your life. ”
"Yes, uncle, it's getting dark, we're hurting, I'm afraid we won't be able to make it to the city, can you see if there is any place where we can stay for one night?"
The villager sighed, only blaming himself for his bad luck, why did he pass by here and bump into them at this time? Since he met him, he couldn't bear to leave these two alone, so he had to say, "If you don't dislike it, you can stay in my cowshed for one night." Don't worry, my cattle have already been sold, and the barn is clean. ”
"Thank you, uncle!" Su Yingying hurriedly thanked her and followed the villager.
"You don't have a local accent, do you?"
"Feng Ningguo's."
The farmer glanced at Su Yingying after hearing this, although the two of them were embarrassed, but they could also see that the clothes were silk! Where can ordinary people afford to wear silk, even if it is the landlord's family, they are willing to wear it during the New Year's festival or when there are distinguished guests. He said with some jealousy: "Fengning country is good, the land is fertile, the forest is verdant, I heard that no matter what you plant, you will have a good harvest." ”
Su Yingying smiled dryly and said, "Feng Ningguo is not as exaggerated as you said. But it's good that there are so many mines in Lingyuan Country. ”
The villager's tone was a little unkind: "So many outsiders come, sooner or later, they will have to be hollowed out." ”
Su Yingying didn't know what to go back to, for fear that saying the wrong thing would make the farmer angry, so she didn't even have a place to live at night.
Most of the houses in the village were made of wood, and smoke rose from the jagged roofs, and the peasant walked and pointed to a house and said, "This is my house, and next to it is where you live." ”
Su Yingying looked to the place pointed by the villagers, and the farmer's house was quite spacious, with three rooms leaning together in front and back, and a cowshed next to it, in which stacks of straw were placed. It seems that it should have been cleaned simply, but after all, it used to be lived by cows, and the smell of cow dung still came to the face when I walked in.
The door of the house was open, and you could see a large clay kang and an old-fashioned wooden table, and several long wooden benches were placed around the table, and a young woman came out of it, dressed quite fancy, plump and well-fitted, and upright and beautiful. When she was young, she used to be a local beauty, and everyone in the mountain village said so.
The young woman looked at Su Yingying and Xu Hanyan following behind her man, and couldn't help asking, "Lao Wang, who are you bringing back?" ”
"On the way, we met two people, they met a bandit and were injured, and they came to stay with us for one night."
The woman was quite dissatisfied, glared at the peasant, and tried to drive away the two uninvited guests: "Where is there still a place for our family to live!"
"The cowshed is empty and empty, and it's nothing for them to stay in it for one night, but outside the house anyway."
The woman had no choice but to give up, and pretended to be polite with a smile and said to Su Yingying: "Look at my man's kindness, since you are here, stay here for one night." Although this cowshed is simple, it can also shelter from the wind and rain, but our family is poor, and there is nothing to eat to entertain you, so you can think of a way for yourself. ”
Su Yingying looked at her smiling and unsmiling appearance, and felt a little uncomfortable, but she and Xu Hanyan were both injured and their bodies were very weak, especially Xu Hanyan had a miscarriage before, and it was not suitable for cold, so she had to borrow it cheekily.
"Then bother this aunt." After Su Yingying said this, the young woman's face turned significantly darker.
You even call her aunt!? At the beginning, she was one of the best beauties in the village! But in the next second her face changed again, for she saw the young man groping for a tael of silver from his purse, and there were many voices inside!
Su Yingying handed the farmer the silver and said, "Is there a doctor in the village?" Can you please ask a doctor to take a look at us? ”
The peasant bit the silver to see if it was true or not, these two people were sick, and it was no problem to stay in an inn in the city for a month for one or two silver.
The young woman slapped the peasant directly, and counted: "You stunned wood, don't you see that people are so seriously injured!" Why don't you invite a doctor to come, but buy some good wine and food to entertain your guests! ”
After speaking, he enthusiastically held Xu Hanyan's hand: "Come, little sister, brother Jun, sit in the house and drink tea." There is a small house in the back, which used to be lived by my daughter, but now that she has been married and has been empty, I will clean it up for you. ”
If someone wanted to touch Xu Hanyan in the past, she would have slapped her hands over, even if she was not disabled, she would have been in pain for a long time, but unfortunately now she was seriously injured in a foreign country, so she had to endure it.
Su Yingying hadn't reacted when she saw this young woman's 180-degree turn, she didn't let them enter the house just now, why did she hold Xu Hanyan's hand and take a sister? Could it be that Xu Hanyan's charm is so great that she kills?
The young woman dragged Xu Hanyan into the house, and saw that she also had a cloth bag on her body, the material of the cloth bag was very strong, and the rope was tightly tied. She mistakenly thought that the bag of hidden weapons on Xu Hanyan's body was silver, and thought: I can't see it, this little girl also has a lot of silver hidden on her body, no wonder the two of them will be targeted by thieves.
The two didn't dare to walk around when they entered the house, they sat on the wooden bench honestly, and the young woman enthusiastically poured water for them, Xu Hanyan sighed, it's really rich to make ghosts grind! But the other party is just a rural woman, and she is not afraid of how much wind and waves she can toss, at most she wants to squeeze more silver taels from the two of them.
The two of them hadn't drunk water for a day, and their bodies were short of blood, so they drank several bowls in a row before they felt more comfortable, so they thanked the young woman: "It's really troublesome for you, auntie." ”
"Hey, it's all trifle. Don't call me aunt, you have more life. Just call me Sister Yun, just now it was my man, called Wang Shunfeng, you can call him Uncle Wang. ”
Xu Hanyan nodded and called: "Hello Sister Yun, it's good if you call me smoke, this is my husband Jun Su Ying." ”
When the young woman heard Xu Hanyan call her, she laughed even more: "Sister, just call me sister at you, you can stay here for a few more days, what do you need to manage, don't treat yourself as an outsider." ”
