The two of them entered the village, and several people came and went, and since no one came to make noise. Carefully walk through the rice paddies and go to the first place in the east. The door was made of wattle wood, and the courtyard wall was also made of wood, and after two gentle pats, even the wall shook for a while. Then I heard a goose cry in the courtyard: "Oh-oh-oh——! "One is higher than the other. An old lady asked through the door, "Who is it?" ”

Xi En cleared her throat, "I'm passing by." Hearing that there was no movement inside, he added, "I met a robber at night, and fled here." Lady is okay, leave us for a meal. The old lady inside did not answer, but a child said in a very loud and high-pitched voice, "Lady! It's a passerby, and you want to eat at our house! Only then did she know that the old lady was behind her ears. The old lady coughed and said, "Who carries the aisle of the house?" Full warehouse, open the door for guests! ”

Xiao Mancang promised to jump out, and only opened the door after blowing the goose, but it was a little trick of seven or eight years old, wrapped his whole body in a big long robe, and looked at the person in front of him with a blink of eyes, and after a while, he turned around and shouted: "Wife, the seven fairies have come to our house!" "The little guy hasn't seen any fairies, but on weekdays, I have heard adults say allusions to the cowherd and the seven fairies, and the seven fairies on it are said to be extremely beautiful people, and at this time it seems that it is probably like the sister in front of him. He opened the door and said, "Come in quickly." ”

The old lady was at the door of the house, and she had already stood up, looked at Xi'en, and said, "Sit in the hall." The water was already boiling, and the warehouse was full of tea for the guests. His grandfather went to fetch water, and came back to cook rice in a while...... Alas...... It's not easy to go out...... Look at the young one, it's not that there is no way to live, who will run into this mountain nest? It's not easy......" muttered, and the two of them sat down, still choosing dried vegetables.

These are three low thatched houses, all built with slabs and stones, and the mud skin is tightly sealed, because the morning sun is at the entrance of the village, and it does not look narrow and dark. In the large courtyard, even the chicken coops, goose houses, and cowsheds are made of stone. The walls are stacked high with firewood, swept away to the point that a single grass knot is gone, the soft sunlight almost from the east side into the house, the stone table, the stone pier, the stone god case, the stone shrine, quietly bask there, as soon as you sit down, you feel solid and peaceful. Li Molin saw that Mancang was busy adding firewood and water to the east stove, and asked, "What is the old man's surname?" ”

Xi En swept over with a look, squatted down with a smile to accompany the old man to choose vegetables, "The old man doesn't need to pay attention to my brother, he was frightened by the gangsters on the road, and his speech was a little out of tune. After speaking, he turned to Li Molin, "Don't sit still, go and help Mancang." ”

Li Molin was sitting leisurely on the stone bench and loosening his legs and feet, looking left and right at the freshness of the farmhouse courtyard, not wanting to be sent to work by Xi'en again. Then I looked at Mancang scooping a few scoops of millet in the basin, his hands and feet were nimble, and his movements were skillful like an adult. I can't help but think of Xiao Shunzi, if it weren't for my dislike of him and getting in the way of noise, I just sent someone back, with that kid's cleverness and intelligence, not better than Mancang?

Li Molin secretly thought for a moment, in the end, he was also a person who had never done work, and his heart was rare, so he went out with Mancang.

"I'm afraid your brother's brain is going to find someone to see, and the seven-foot boy is also dignified, but it's a pity!" The old lady looked at Li Molin's red, willow and green clothes that didn't fit well, and she was sprinkled, like a harlequin on the stage, and shook her head again and again.

Xi En turned his back on his face and showed his stuffing without smiling, lowered his head and coughed a few times, and passed perfunctorily.

The mill was in the middle of the village, and no one came in at this time, so Man Cang and Li Molin brought the grain in, and the donkey who was pulling the mill spewed a long breath from his nose, almost spitting Li Molin.

Mancang poured the grain on the mill, Li Molin urged the donkey, and pushed the mill rod behind him, but the donkey also committed the donkey temper and stood still. Mancang was also the first time to enter the mill, and the two of them were beating and beating, and they were sweating profusely.

"Master, when you're tired, go to the side and rest, I'll come." Mancang also comforted Li Molin with a childish voice. Li Molin is the most arrogant, this time he entered Beijing to catch the exam, with the intention of being sure to win, he didn't want to be stumped by a donkey today, where would he give in. Looking left and right to find something to beat this beast, let it open a pair of donkey eyes to see clearly, this is the future champion, not everyone can bully.

At last he found a wooden stick with more than one foot in it, and walked to the mill with it, and when he looked down and saw that the wide women's clothes he was wearing were in the way, he took them off three times and five times. Now the person looked at a handsome and dashing man, with a heroic face, holding a long pole to deal with a donkey.

After helping the old lady clean up, she thought about it and ran out to see how the two were busy. Seeing Li Molin from afar, he hurriedly ran over and shouted, "Don't fight, blindfold the cloth on the donkey." ”

Li Molin was thinking about what he would do if he knocked the donkey to death with a stick, and he didn't want to relieve his troubles with a word, it turned out that the key to the problem was here, and it was really a wise man's thousand worries. Hurriedly took the cloth and blindfolded it with Mancang alone.

Xien was stunned for a moment, and then "hahaha" laughed non-stop, laughing so much that he squatted on the ground with abdominal pain, and couldn't help himself.

At this time, the father of the full warehouse came back with water, laughed for a while, and went in for a while to take the grain away.

It's easy to wait for the rice to be served, but the soybeans with the sticky corn porridge, red pepper sauerkraut, salted soybeans, salted red and white radish, and fried dried beans are all served in a surprisingly large old coarse porcelain bowl. The distilled millet stick is golden and golden, and the small one is also as big as a punch. There is also a handful of washed green onions and a plate of bean paste. Although it is a mountain farmer's coarse rice, it is also dazzling, and it is steaming. The two of them were even frightened and ran around all night and day, and they were already hungry, and when they saw this meal, their eyes were on fire. For a while, I saw the old lady coming over with a stack of pancakes, and the burnt yellow and fragrant ones were even more sultry.

"Come on! Just like your own home, you can't eat enough to blame yourself! The old lady greeted politely.

Xi En is familiar with the way to take the cake and roll the sauerkraut, radish, and then smear the sauce, and eat it with relish.

Li Molin hesitated, he couldn't resist the temptation of the fragrance of the food, and he also learned to cherish the kindness, took a bite, and praised, "Xiang, it's really good!" He put on his own clothes at this time, and sat in such a small farm yard to add the brilliance of the farm yard, and praised loudly, making the honest man grin stupidly.
