Chapter 52: By boat
Yuehua didn't understand what the boatman said, Yuehua knew that the boatman was not Han, but the Hu people in the mountains, they spoke the dialect in the mountains, not easy to understand, only heard He Heng say a few words to him, took out a copper coin from his arms and handed it to the boatman, the boatman got the money, went ashore to untie the reins, He Heng signaled Yuehua to go up first, when Yuehua's left foot stepped up, the boat shook a little, Yuehua didn't stand firm all of a sudden, and fell back in fright, He Heng immediately helped her.
"A small boat is not as stable as a big ship, you should pay attention."
"Hmm!" Yuehua was not small, she was calm, grabbed his arm and right foot and followed, the boat swayed slightly from side to side, Yuehua rarely took the boat, she was a little scared, and quickly found a place to sit down.
He Heng followed in, he didn't sit down, he stood alone in the bow of the boat, the boatman shouted, and the boat opened.
Yuehua saw that there were a lot of things like shuttles in the boat, black, green, black and green were still connected to vines, with a refreshing smell, and took a look at it with curiosity, the boatman rowed at the stern, and said something to Yuehua with a smile, Yuehua didn't understand, and asked He Heng instead: "I didn't understand what he said, I bother you to explain it to me." ”
He Heng chuckled: "The boatman said that there is a knife in the boat, and if you want to eat it, let you take a knife and chop it open." ”
"Can you eat this thing?" Black, green, black, and green, some of them are still stained with you, and they are as hard as iron, and this thing can be eaten!
"Eat, come...... I'll get you to eat. Saying that, he jumped in, sat opposite Yuehua, and said a mountain word to the boatman, and the boatman smiled and said something, He Heng found the knife from the ground, washed it with river water, split the water chestnut, revealing the white meat inside, and opened the hard skin and handed it to Yuehua: "You taste it, this thing is more delicious when fried, and it has a sweet taste when eaten with a white mouth." ”
Yuehua looked at his hand spread out, the palm of his hand was half a white and fat water chestnut rice, thinking of Tang Jian's words, this hand is really good-looking, the thin fingers are slender and powerful, there are no bone joints, the fingers are round and full, and the palm lines are clear, it is really a pair of good-looking hands! Even the water chestnut rice in my hand has become good-looking.
Yuehua blushed and picked up the water chestnut rice in his hand, and tasted it, it was powdery, sweet, and silky, with a natural fragrance, very delicious.
She saw that Yuehua thought it was delicious, so she took a knife and chopped one open, peeled it off and handed it to Yuehua......
This thing cushioned her stomach, Yuehua ate seven or eight and was full, He Heng pulled her to the bow of the boat, held her arm, and the two looked at the scenery along the way. Yuehua found that He Heng was a very restrained person, and the hand holding Yuehua was just gently leaning on Yuehua's elbow, the boat swayed, and Yuehua's body swayed from side to side, sometimes close, almost close to his arms, Yuehua didn't find it, he stood next to him by himself, and never embarrassed the woman.
The boat stopped at the ferry on the opposite side, as usual, he helped Yuehua to go down first, because he ate other people's water chestnut rice, He Heng gave the boatman a few more money, the boatman initially refused to accept it, and then He Heng told him something, and the boatman generously accepted it.
There is a tea stall on the ferry: "We have to walk a long way, there is no place to stop on the road, let's drink some water and eat something here." ”
Yuehua knew that it would take a few days to go out with the troops to fight, and he said this obviously to accommodate her, so he lowered his head at the moment and agreed embarrassedly.
Yuehua is a very stable person, and he takes care of people with most of them, but when he is with He Heng, it is He Heng who takes care of himself.
The two approached the stall, Xiao Er brought two bowls of tea, and He Heng asked for a pound of cooked beef and a plate of baked cakes. When the meal was served, Yuehua saw so much and widened her eyes: "How can you finish eating." ”
"Don't worry, I'm here, it's just a little less!"
After being taken care of for so long, Yuehua picked up a white baked cake, broke it with the shopkeeper's knife, stuffed the beef into it, made a beef baked cake and handed it to He Heng.
He Heng smiled and then ate.
Yuehua made one herself.
Yuehua ate two beef pancakes by herself and was full, and the rest all went into He Heng's stomach, such a big ordinary beef, such a big plate of pancakes, when the two plates were empty, Yuehua stared at He Heng in disbelief, how could she eat so much!
He Heng stood up and went to pay, turned back to Yuehua and smiled, "I can eat two more plates." Then he took a horse out of the manger of the shop: "I will hold you, and you will get on the horse." ”
Yuehua went up, he led the horse away: "You ......" There is only one horse, and he is leading the horse in front to lead her away.
"Will you let me up!?"
This is teasing her, Yuehua turned her face away and ignored her, her good impression of He Heng just now was gone.
"Look at the way you look on the horse, you know that you can't ride, I will pull the reins for you, you hold the saddle, and I will pull the horse in front. You're walking too slowly, don't think about it today without riding. ”
“……”
Yuehua had already made up her mind to ignore him.
The rain in the south is strong, the grass and trees also grow well, there are relatively few people walking on this path, the road is full of branches stretching to the side of the road, and when he encounters a very long and deep one, He Heng took out the knife he brought with him and cut it, threw the branches aside, and when he encountered the soft branches, he set them aside and let Yuehua's horses pass. The two of them walked all the way, walked for an hour, the road became wider, came to the main road, there were more pedestrians on the road, occasionally there were a few farmers on the road with hats, picking melons and vegetables to do small business, these farmers all rolled their trouser legs to the calves, barefoot wearing straw sandals, He Heng walked to one of the stalls, took out a penny, the farmer was very skillful with a knife to peel off the surface of the skin, open a small opening on the top, get the melon inside out, and there was a quarter of the melon skin left, Pedestrians can hold it in their hands for easy eating and will not stain their hands.
"I'm not hungry." She really doesn't have a gluttonous problem
"Walked all the way, eat this to quench your thirst."
"One for you, I'll take the other." Yuehua was helpless and handed him one.
The two of them are holding a melon, Yuehua pays attention to the image, never ate on the road before, but now he is riding a horse, driving the road, holding a melon in his hand to eat, occasionally breezy, I feel that it is not bad.
The two walked another way to the gate of a house.
The door of this house was closed, and there was a big lion squatting on the left and right at the door, and on the bench there were two well-dressed Xiao Si who were gossiping, and saw the two of them coming: "The old man has been waiting for you for a while." ”
"I'm tired of the two leading the way." He Heng was still very polite.
"Your kindness, sir."
The two boys must have received very strict training, one of them went in with the two people, and the other led the horse, and when he saw He Heng still with a girl, he only glanced at his face and did not change at all.
He Heng threw the reins in his hand casually and threw it to another boy, this action of throwing the reins was very elegant and elegant, and for a moment Yuehua felt that he was not a military household but a nobleman in fresh clothes and angry Ma Luoyangdong.
