Whether it is Li Cao or Muramasa, in Situ Yan's heart, these people are just passers-by in her life, and they are the same as Mr. Cai and Feng Darthead she met when she first came to this other world, and they did not leave any ripples in Situ Yan's heart.

In the small courtyard rented in Pinggao County, the four families who fled lived happily. On the fifth day of the fifth month of the fifth lunar month, Situ Yan got up before dawn, and was planning to take the millet (sticky yellow rice) and glutinous rice that she had soaked yesterday from the house where she slept to the stove.

As soon as the people came out of the main room, they saw Li Dalang in the courtyard leading Erlang to practice martial arts. He put the rice basin in his hand on the ground next to the door, walked over to a few people, and asked in a low voice, "Why did my brothers get up so early?" ”

"Little Wu, why are you so early? What's in your hand? I look pretty heavy? Without waiting for Li Dalang to answer, San Lang walked over first.

"It's not too early, and those who fight two more times will go back to the house to catch up on sleep. Our kung fu is taught by Xiao Wu, and if you don't want people to see it, you should get up early to save the trouble of being asked! Li Dalang followed behind, and he was also curious about why the little sister got up so early.

Seeing the four brothers like this, Situ Yan was also very happy in her heart, these days of fleeing, the four brothers have grown up very quickly, not only physically, but also mentally, less simple at the beginning, more vigilant, although people live simpler, they will be happier, but if you want to survive in this troubled world, you can't be too simple, as long as you have a good heart and don't regret it.

But I was also distressed for Li Dalang, looking at the sweat on the heads and faces of several people, I knew that they had been practicing for at least an hour, and then looked at the sky, I was afraid that it was already up at the beginning of the year, and persuaded slightly, "Then there is no need to get up so early, the rest is not good, and people are easy to get sick." ”

While chatting, he turned around and went to the rice basin to go to the stove room, "Third brother, this basin is filled with some rice, I think today is the Dragon Boat Festival, and I should wrap some zongzi for the occasion." ”

"What, wrapping zongzi? That's a good idea! This time, Erlang walked out from behind San Lang, as long as he heard the delicious people, he was very energetic, took the rice basin in Situ Yan's hand, and helped bring it to the stove.

San Lang was suspicious in his heart, "My little sister went out yesterday and didn't come back with a bag of rice, why did she sleep all night with these extra rice?" ”

Li Dalang also felt strange in his heart, and looked through it with his hand, and then walked towards the stove room, "Xiao Wu, where did this millet come from?" I look like I still have some glutinous rice? ”

"When I went out yesterday, I passed by the pharmacy and happened to see a woman holding a child selling this rice, saying that she was going to sell the rice to the child for medical treatment, and I was soft-hearted, so I bought it!"

"Xiao Wu, when you came back yesterday, why didn't I see this rice?" San Lang still couldn't hold back and asked the doubts in his heart.

"If there is not much rice, let me put it in the basket, and forget about it when I come home after a walk. I didn't remember it until I took off my clothes at night, and I soaked it overnight! Situ Yan's lie is that she came as soon as she opened her mouth, and she didn't even hit the draft, and she didn't even get distracted.

It's also thanks to the four brothers who trust her, no matter what reason she gave, the four of them don't doubt it, otherwise this lie can't stand scrutiny at all. After entering the stove room, Situ Yan persuaded the four of them to go back first and then sleep for a while, and she also waited for the aunts to get up before making zongzi. Seeing that they didn't need to help, the four of them washed their faces and went back to the house to make up for sleep.

By the time it was dawn, Situ Yan had already washed the reed leaves to be used to make the zongzi, and cut some diced bacon meat, planning to wrap some meat dumplings.

When the third aunt and Liangzi's daughter-in-law entered the stove room to cook breakfast, they were so shocked to see the rice and leaves used to make zongzi on the board, and they were so shocked that Aunt Niu and the fourth aunt were also shocked.

"Girl, where did you get all these good things?"

"Don't say that I'm still on the run at this time, but I don't dare to think about it when the year is good?" Aunt Niu and the fourth aunt touched the rice and meat excitedly, and pulled Situ Yan to ask in a stack.

"When I went out yesterday, I accidentally met someone who sold grain for medicine, so I bought some, just in time for the Dragon Boat Festival today, and took this to wrap zongzi, and we also had a good holiday!"

"But I can't help it, this good thing is boiled into porridge, and it can be eaten for many days!" The three aunts said in unison, they didn't want to waste it so much, but they were very united.

Situ Yan understood that these people were worried about running out of food to eat, so she just smiled. The three aunts persuaded each other to have a cup of tea, but seeing that Situ Yan still insisted, she found this rice again, so they had to stop persuading each other and help Situ Yan wrap the zongzi.

Millet (sticky yellow rice) and glutinous rice, a total of less than three catties, Situ Yan wrapped 15 salted egg and meat dumplings, 15 jujube dumplings, and 30 dumplings are smaller than ordinary small rice dumplings.

After boiling the wrapped zongzi, the third aunt and Liangzi's daughter-in-law began to cook breakfast, and when the paste and zongzi were served, it was nearly an hour later than usual.

"Uncles and brothers are afraid that they are all hungry, right?" Situ Yan was setting the dishes and chopsticks while chatting with the men in the house.

"Good food is not afraid of being late, for this zongzi, even if we are willing to wait for another day!" When Li Aniu got up, he heard his daughter-in-law's distressed reading, saying that the girl had found some millet and was wrapping zongzi. When he first heard it, he also thought it was too wasteful, but when he told Li Siyi, the two of them felt that since this food was all from the girl, they just listened to it, so they thought about it.

"Not really! This zongzi smells fragrant, and I'd rather be hungry for a day! "Men say what you say, and the atmosphere suddenly becomes lively.

"Yes, yes!" Even Xiao Bao'er, who was sitting on Liangzi, pointed to the zongzi and Situ Yan to eat.

"Xiao Bao'er also wants to eat it, but you're still too young, this thing is not easy to digest!" Xiao Bao'er has a weak stomach and intestines and is not suitable for eating zongzi, but she didn't let Xiao Bao'er just drink some vegetable paste, and specially boiled japonica rice porridge for him.

"Xiao Wu, what are you doing here, Xiao Bao'er just eat some mushy food, this japonica rice has no money to buy, don't spoil it?" Where is the third aunt willing, everyone in this room drinks black batter, where can they eat alone for their grandson.

"What is the third aunt talking about, yesterday I changed some rice and sandwiched a spoonful of japonica rice, and caught up with today's festival, we still have zongzi to eat, how can we be wronged Xiao Bao'er, this food matter will listen to me. Sister-in-law, feed this porridge to Xiao Bao'er, and it will be cold if you wait any longer! Aunt Niu also helped persuade her, and the third aunt nodded and asked her daughter-in-law to feed the porridge to Xiao Bao'er.

"Today's Dragon Boat Festival, there is no realgar wine, no colorful line, but at least there are zongzi to meet the scene, although this will be a refugee, but it is also rare to 'steal a half day of leisure'. Let's replace the wine with paste, just eat the rice dumplings, and have a good holiday! These days, Li Aniu and the four brothers are the same, they have long been accustomed to listening to Situ Yan's arrangements, and I don't know when Situ Yan even sat at the same table with the men when they even ate, and Li Aniu and the others also gave up the main seat to her.

"Xiao Wu said well, don't say that he is still fleeing this time, even when the year is good, I have never eaten such good food, I will take a bite first." Li Si stood up and picked up the bowl, took a sip of mush, and then sat down.

Li Aniu and Li Dalang also got up and took a sip of mush, which followed the trend, the atmosphere became more and more lively, and there was really a feeling of festival. ”

Situ Yan is celebrating the Dragon Boat Festival here, and it is lively. Far away in the imperial city of the capital Luoyang court but noisy, Wu Jun has besieged the city for several days, but now there is only the crown prince in the court, the emperor has long taken the palace concubine to run away without knowing where to go, and even the three dukes, three divisions, three provinces, six departments and all officials above the third grade have already fled out of the capital to avoid trouble. Only some squires and waiters were left for the crown prince to stick to the capital.

Where have these people led soldiers to fight, and they were confined in the imperial city by the prince every day, except for quarrels and silence, they couldn't help at all.

And Wu De is one of the left-behind officials, this Wu De was included in a book by the imperial historian, and he was not allowed to be reused by the emperor, and now he can get this opportunity to stay in the capital, and he thinks that if he can keep the capital, it will be a great achievement, and his promotion in the future will be just around the corner. And now that the entire ministry has fled, he, the squire, is the biggest, and he is a little proud.

And Wu Jin, who was in his own mansion, frowned, "Manager Li, the fall of the capital is only a matter of time, the general trend of the Wei State has gone, and I have been trapped in it, I am afraid that it will be difficult to have a good death, you will stay in the courtyard of this lotus, and find a way to find the eldest lady in the future, and leave this courtyard and the shop in the capital to her, which can be regarded as the dowry given to her by my brother." If the eldest lady is gone, this courtyard will be left to you and Cuiping, and it can be regarded as the love of our master and servant. ”

Li Youzhu stood in front of Wu Jin's table, knelt down with a "plop", and even knelt down with the bolt on one side.

"What the eldest young master said, the little one doesn't dare to respond, the eldest lady is auspicious, and with the protection of the first master's mother, there will be no trouble, and the eldest young master will not have an accident, I heard that Wu Jun did not hurt the people in the city when he entered the city, as long as the eldest young master stays here, there will be no accident."

"If I am alone, as long as I keep my duty, it will not be difficult to escape this catastrophe, but there is still a father in the Wu Mansion who dreams of being promoted and making a fortune, even if I don't want to, but after all, I am still surnamed Wu, I am afraid that it will be difficult to be alone. Just do what I tell you to do, and in a while, nothing will happen to me. Here are two letters, which were written to me by Yan'er at the beginning, with the route and marks of her escape, you just follow this to find it, maybe you can find it, I hope that my Yan'er can come to Jitai, if Yan'er can be found, in the future, I will have to work hard for you and Cuiping to find her a proper family to marry, and the shop and Zhuangzi in Bo'an County will be left to you and Cuiping, and the shop and this yard in the capital will be left to Yan'er as a dowry. Here's the deed I wrote, and you've got it. Wu Jin said that he was taking care of the aftermath, and made Li Youzhu and the bolt cry and kneel on the ground, and they didn't dare to get up in response to his words.

Wu Jin felt uncomfortable, sat on the chair, looked at the letter written by the little sister Situ Yan in his hand, the handwriting on the envelope was still the same, but he was afraid that it would be difficult to reunite with the little sister, so he couldn't help but feel sad and reddened. The three of them cried, and their hearts were more comfortable. Wu Jin left all the money he had saved these days to Li Youzhu, after all, it was no longer safe for him to put it. After repeated explanations, he took the carriage back to Wufu.
