Chapter 5 Entering the City
After a short rest, the three brothers set out on the road again, and this time, they walked more than forty miles before they stopped again to rest. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Brother Guoren, I'm so hungry, let's take a break, find something to eat and then leave!" Guo Danian covered his stomach and said with a look of grievance.
Xu Guoren doesn't blame him, this guy is not only big, but also has an amazing amount of food.
The three of them also had some millet (a kind of crop that was commonly cultivated in northern China before and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, aliases, millet and millet, similar to small yellow rice).
But this wilderness is obviously not suitable for food with it, and there is no such condition.
Xu Guoren looked at the woods in front of him, took out the two nests he had left, and gave one of them a saying: "Let's eat the mat first, go to the woods in front and rest for a while, let's say okay first, this is the last rest before entering the city, before dark, we must enter the city, otherwise it will not be safe." ”
Guo Danian took the nest and gnawed on it, like a hungry wolf, so that Xu Guoren couldn't help but laugh dumbly, this guy will definitely be a complete foodie in the next life, and he digests very quickly, and he is very hungry.
Guo Hu handed the head of the nest to Xu Guoren and said, "Brother, I still have two here, you can eat." ”
"It's okay, I'm not hungry, you can eat first. Keep those two for the big year. Xu Guoren pushed back and said in an unquestioning tone.
Guo Hu was not polite, and immediately put the head of the nest in half, forced half of it to Xu Guoren, opened his mouth to nibble on the other half, and walked towards the woods.
Xu Guoren looked at the dry food in his hand and laughed.
Although in this time and space, there is no Internet, no computers and mobile phones, and no convenience and comfort brought by all modern technology, he has gained sincerity and affection that are extremely rare in later generations.
Not to mention, Guo Hu and Guo Danian, two weak teenagers who have not yet won the crown, are sincere to themselves at the moment, neither of them has any culture, and they are very simple and direct when expressing their ideas.
Guo Danian is a little more careless than Guo Hu, but if there is danger, he will definitely stand in front of Xu Guoren without hesitation to cover him, which Xu Guoren does not doubt at all.
The four words of sincerity and sincerity, in later generations, have been corroded by money, and in this era when the people's wisdom has not been opened and the atmosphere is pure, it is everywhere.
Therefore, Xu Guoren remembered an allusion when he was in school at this moment, and he knew if he was blessed?
When people are not in a predicament, or have experienced a predicament, they cannot understand the kind of emotion in Xu Guoren's heart at this moment.
Even Guo Hu and the others are the same, born in troubled times, what they eat is the most important thing for them, which not only means that they can fill their stomachs, but also means that they can live.
When someone is willing to save his dry food and share it for himself, it is equivalent to giving himself the hope of living.
And when your sincere brother knows how to feed back this "hope" and give you half of it, that ordinary but heart-warming act is precious.
After eating and drinking, Xu Guoren and the others worked hard, hurried all the way, and finally rushed to Pingyang County, which had been heard for a long time, before the sun was about to set.
In fact, from the perspective of Xu Guoren, a modern person, Pingyang County did not give him a shocking first impression.
After all, we have seen the Great Wall and the ancient city wall of Xi'an.
This small city wall, which is no more than three meters high, is really not unusual.
But Guo Danian and Guo Hu are different, the two looked at the high city walls and the majestic city gate tower, and were a little stunned for a while.
"Let's go, don't be stunned, the city gate will be closed in a while!" Xu Guoren slapped them on the back of the head and took the lead towards the city gate.
Since it has not experienced war for a long time, Pingyang County is still relatively prosperous, of course, for the three guys who came out of a remote mountain village like Guojiabao.
After entering the city, there are constantly pedestrians on the street, there are all kinds of shops on both sides, the more you go inside, the more lively you are, you can eat, drink, and play, although the building is not tall, and the decoration is slightly shabby.
But in response to a sentence, although the sparrow is small, it has all five organs.
When the three brothers, carrying pots and rations and other things to eat, walked in front of a two-story ancient building, Guo Danian and Guo Hu were attracted by the few girls standing at the door.
Xu Guoren looked at the few dressed flowers, but they were full of tackyness, and kept waving at the passers-by who were not only them, but he stepped forward and hugged the two brothers and said, "How is it, is it beautiful?" ”
Guo Danian nodded, his eyes staring directly at one of the Yao sisters with a big buttocks, "Uh-huh." ”
Guo Hu nodded first, and then said, "However, not as beautiful as Guo Papi's daughter." ”
"Believe me, sooner or later, one day, I will let you walk in here with your chests puffed up, and you will no longer be looked down upon by Sister Yao, and you can do whatever you want when the time comes." Xu Guoren looked ahead and saw clearly the signboard of this kiln, Qingxiang Building.
"What's the matter?" When Guo Danian heard this, he suddenly came to his senses.
"Of course!" Xu Guoren said.
"Then when the time comes, I'll let these chicks sing a big show for me!" Guo Danian said.
Xu Guoren rewarded him with a burst of chestnuts, and smiled angrily: "That's all you need." ”
Walking through Qingxiang Building, Guo Hu looked at the unfamiliar street, the night that was getting darker, and couldn't help asking, "Brother, where are we staying tonight?" ”
Xu Guoren touched a piece of silver dollar in his pocket, and looked around blankly, there was a huge and lively county, and there was no place for the three of them.
However, Xu Guoren was not discouraged, and took the two of them through the streets and alleys, and finally found a suitable place to stay, a grass pavilion located in the south of the city.
Because it is not far from the county police station, and it guards the widest street in the county, there is such a grass pavilion for passers-by to rest and rest.
However, Xu Guoren, who had been on the road for a day, and the three of them ignored one thing, that is, this grass pavilion was a little dirty and messy, and it looked like someone had lived there.
Hungry and tired, Xu Guoren asked the two to hurriedly set up a pot to make a fire, while he went to fetch water.
However, when he returned, he found Guo Danian and Guo Hu confronting a group of ragged and club-wielding guys, both of whom were holding an iron pot and a kitchen knife with a bladed blade.
"Beggar gang?" Xu Guoren looked at the people surrounding his two brothers, old and young, and said secretly.
When Guo Danian saw Xu Guoren, he immediately saw it and waved and shouted: "Brother Guoren, come on, these people who want food won't let us stay here, and they have knocked down the earthen stove we have erected!" ”
"yes, if I hadn't been quick, our pots would have been smashed!" Guo Hu picked up the small iron pot in his hand.
Hearing this, the beggars turned their heads and looked at Xu Guoren.
Xu Guoren was taken aback by their fierce gaze, read the disgust from it, and smiled: "Everyone, our brothers are new to the city, and they are not familiar with the place, if you are offended, please take care of it!" ”
"Take care of your uncle, this is our territory, while the old men are begging, you dare to occupy it! Believe it or not, we're going to break your legs and throw you into mass graves outside the city? Get out of here! A leading middle-aged beggar said in a menacing manner.
"This big brother, don't be angry, let's go, let's go!" Xu Guoren waved his hand lightly at Guo Danian and Guo Hu, signaling the two to come out.
The two immediately carried their millet and salute and walked towards Xu Guoren.
Unexpectedly, the middle-aged beggar suddenly shouted, "Stop! People can go, but food must stay! ”
Xu Guoren didn't want to deal with this group of three beggars who had no knowledge, no culture and no sympathy, after all, he still held the idea that everyone was Chinese, and he was too anxious to fry each other from the same root.
But now it seems that there must be something hateful about the poor man, and there is a truth to this sentence.
People are good at being bullied, and it is a wise saying, in this era when food and clothing are problematic, what morality and conscience are bullshit for these hungry people, only life is the most important.
Therefore, he first smiled and said to the middle-aged beggar: "This eldest brother, our brother gave you this ration, what do we eat?" Then he blinked and motioned for Guo Danian and Guo Hu to come to him.
"Lao Tzu cares what you eat, we just have to eat." The middle-aged beggar said with a fierce face: "Interesting, hurry up and put down your things and get out, otherwise, you won't be able to leave if you want to!" ”
Xu Guoren saw that the two of them had successfully passed through the crowd of beggars and came to him, his face suddenly changed, and he said fiercely: "To your uncle!" At the same time, he poured the water in the bucket on the middle-aged beggar and the others, and immediately poured them into a soup chicken.
"Let's go!" Xu Guoren saw that Guo Danian still wanted to smirk, so he immediately reminded loudly, turned around and took the lead and ran!
