Along the gate of the courtyard, there is a fence made of bamboo, which is a little dilapidated after a long time, but it is very neatly repaired. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Through the low fence, you can see the scene in the courtyard.

An old stone mill, a few farm tools leaning against the eaves of the porch, and a few old trees in the yard, with ropes tied between the trees, presumably used to dry clothes.

Two adjoining adobe houses, with a low kitchen at one end of the veranda, smoke rising from the kitchen when it was time for lunch.

At the other end of the eaves, a chicken coop was enclosed with a bamboo fence, and three old hens were leisurely wandering in it.

It's a very simple yard, but it's very clean, the dirt floor, and there is no dirt at all.

The potholes are carefully filled, and the whole yard looks neat and refreshing.

Village Chief Qian asked Xiao Tao to wait, and he went up and knocked on the door, "Hongyi, are you not at home?" ”

"Oh, here," came out of the door of the small kitchen, dressed in coarse cloth and blue, in winter, his clothes were still very thin.

The figure is very tall, and Xiao Tao is almost the same as Xuanyuan Heng. Just look at how much he bends over to get out of the kitchen.

Although he is very tall, he is not the kind of five big and three thick, and he can even be described as slender, with agile and powerful long legs and strong arms, which is a perfect combination.

After Xiao Tao saw a demon like Xuanyuan Heng, he could still make such an evaluation of him, it is conceivable that Hongyi's figure is really not picky.

Further up, although the facial features are not as handsome as Xuanyuan Heng, they are suffocating, but the black hair and black eyes are full of masculinity, and they are very mellow and masculine.

Xiao Tao stared at him, for some reason, he always felt that he was very attractive, and there was an indescribable tremor in his heart, could this be what people said about casting eyes?

In this world, there are not many people who cast her eyes, Xuanyuan Heng is one, and this Hongyi is also one.

"Uncle Qian, why are you here, I'm cooking, do you want to go in and have a bite?" Hongyi opened the door, smiling honestly and kindly, his tall figure was about to fill the small gatehouse.

Later, he also saw Xiao Tao and the carriage behind her.

But Xiao Tao is dressed as a man at the moment, and he only thinks she is a little brother and nods at her.

Village Chief Qian waved his hand and explained the situation to him, "Hongyi, that's the case, this little brother passed by our village with his master, the weather was bad, and his master was sick again, and he wanted to find a place to rent." ”

Xiao Tao was afraid that Hongyi would not understand, and added: "If it is convenient for you to put it here, I want to rent it for a few more days, and when the weather is warm, I will leave with the master, if you feel inconvenient, we can also live for a few days, I will find another house as soon as possible, and I will also pay you rent, I will not embarrass you, and I will not make you suffer." ”

Hongyi grinned, "What's the difficulty, what's the loss, walking outside, who doesn't have a difficulty, it's okay, you don't want to live, you don't have to pay rent, anyway, my house is empty, there are people, and there are people."

Xiao Tao didn't expect him to be so open-minded, so she was embarrassed, "I'm grateful that you can let us live, but the rent still has to be paid......"

"It's all said that you don't want rent, and manly words count," Hongyi said categorically.

The village chief Qian next to him also patted Xiao Tao's shoulder with a smile, "Don't fight with Hongyi, he said no, he definitely don't, Hongyi, this kid is stubborn and polite, you can live with confidence, if you need anything, go to my house to find me." ”

They are so generous, but Xiao Tao is flattered, "This ......"

"Little Peach," Ji Langzhong lifted the curtain and wanted to get out of the car.

Xiao Tao heard his voice and hurried back to help him get out of the carriage.

Ji Langzhong nodded to the village chief Qian and Hongyi and nodded in thanks, "The old man is not angry, he fell ill on the road, my master and apprentice, are barefoot doctors, the apprentice saw that I was old, and I wanted to take me to find a place to settle down, but I didn't expect that when I passed by here, I was infected with a disease, and I had to disturb you, I'm really sorry, if the village chief doesn't dislike it, when the old decay is better, he will see a doctor for the people in the village as a thank you." ”

"Ah, you are You Fang Langzhong," Village Chief Qian was moved when he heard it, "Then there is nothing to say, you just have to rest assured that you live here, you don't have to worry about the things on the side, when will you be refreshed, and it is not too late to see a doctor, Hongyi, help the old doctor in, it is windy outside, you have to take care of it, if you are missing, come and tell me, I will solve it for you." ”

In the remote countryside, there is a shortage of medical treatment.

To see a doctor, you have to go to town. Many times, there is a small illness and a small disaster, they are reluctant to see it, they spend it in the family, the bottom plate is good, they will be cured, the bottom plate is not good, it drags on for a long time, the minor illness becomes a major disease, and there is no money to treat it at that time, so they can only wait for death.

So now there is an old man who suddenly comes, and it is from You Fang, such Langzhong is more worthy of respect, because they are not for money, nor for fame, otherwise where to stay, it is happier than You Fang.

Hongyi originally thought like this, he got out of the way, "Please come in, this horse, I'll tie it up for you, I don't have a horse pen at home, I'll figure out a way in the afternoon." ”

Village Chief Qian said: "Lead the horse to my house, my family has a cattle pen, and they can make do with it for a few days." ”

Hongyi thought about it, "Okay, I'll clean up the backyard tomorrow and build a horse ring, little brother, do you want to move the things in the carriage in?" ”

He was really enthusiastic, and while asking Xiao Tao if he wanted to move things, he had already begun to unload the saddle diligently.

Village Chief Qian helped take the horse away, and before leaving, he also reassured Xiao Tao that they were not bad people and would not lead her horse to sell.

Xiao Tao shook her head indifferently, anyway, the old horse is about to die, even if he sells it, he can't sell it for a few dollars.

Hongyi welcomed the two of them into the slightly larger one of the two rooms, "This is where I live, we also sleep on the kang here, my kang is very big, the house where my father and mother used to live also had a kang, but it collapsed, I thought that no one was sleeping, so I didn't repair it, let's make do with the three of us first, I will repair the kang tomorrow." ”

When Ji Langzhong heard this, he turned his head to look at Xiao Tao.

Sleeping together? Although he knew that this Hongyi was unintentional, he wouldn't know Xiao Tao's daughter at all, but whether he knew it or not, he shouldn't sleep on a kang.

Xiao Tao knew the master's concerns, and patted his hand comfortingly, "It's good to sleep together, sleep together to be warm, the soil kang can be hot, which is good for you," and then she said to the master in a voice that only two people could hear: "You sleep in the middle, and you don't have to take off your clothes when you sleep in winter, it's okay." ”

After speaking, she looked up at Hongyi, "Then thank you big brother, can this kang be burned first, I want my master to warm up, and the things in the carriage will be collected by myself later." ”

Hongyi looked at her with a deep smile, "You are so filial, wait, I'll go burn the kang." He lifted the curtain of the bamboo mat and went out.

Xiao Tao helped the master to sit down by the kang and looked at the room.

Like his people, it is clean and tidy, the furniture is very broken, but there is no dust, and the quilt on the kang is also neatly folded, not like a man lives at all.

Ji Langzhong saw it in his eyes, and said to Xiao Tao meaningfully: "Apprentice, how do you look at him, what a good boy"

Xiao Tao walked around the room, not paying much attention to the master's words, "Of course he is a good person, otherwise he would have taken us both in." ”

Ji Langzhong sighed, "Xiao Tao, do you remember what the master told you?" The master's wish is that you can find an honest man, live a peaceful and stable life, don't be rich and rich, as long as you are safe, those unrealistic things, you should not think about it. ”

Xiao Tao put down the half-carved little wooden man on the table, and he didn't expect that Hongyi's hand was quite clever, and the carved villain was so similar, "Master, you have never thought about those things that you shouldn't think, don't worry, I know that those rich and expensive days are not suitable for me, you see, don't I accompany you to retire in the countryside?" ”

"It's good if you understand, by the way, you wear the clothes of a male baby all day long, it's not good after all, let's change it back in two days, the master won't live long, the master doesn't want to look at you dressed as a man, then the master will feel sorry for your father."

"Huh? Changing into women's clothes? Why, what does this have to do with my parents, they gave birth to me, but they didn't raise me, you didn't give birth to me, but raised me so big, you don't need to care about them," Xiao Tao's tone of voice has not changed, and her expression is still the same, but the faint sadness can't be covered up no matter what.

Ji Langzhong didn't have the strength to explain to her again, "If you change it, you will change it, do you want the master to die without turning a blind eye?" Ahem" he covered his mouth, coughing out of breath.

Xiao Tao saw him like this, so she had to rely on him, patting him on the back and coaxing, "Okay, I'll change it, I'll change it in two days, it's done, right?" ”

There was smoke rising under the eaves of the corridor, and after a while, Hongyi opened the curtain and came in, and said with a smile: "The kang has been burned, the master is resting on the kang, I'll go and bring in the things in the carriage, and then fry two dishes, and we can eat." ”

"I'll help you," Xiao Tao knew that he was warm-hearted, but he couldn't just sit still.

Hongyi didn't refuse this time, "Then you wait for the master to go to the kang first, and then help later." ”

Ji Langzhong observed the interaction between the two of them, and God knows how much he likes this kid Hongyi.

When he saw his eyes for the first time, he knew that Hongyi, a child, was worthy of Xiao Tao's life

A person's expression can be pretended, a mask can be worn, but the eyes cannot deceive people.

Whether it's genuine enthusiasm or fake, you can tell at a glance.

Although the little peach is thick and large, it is very careful and careful to the master.

She helped Ji Langzhong to sit on the bed, squatted down and took off the cold and worn shoes and socks, and then put the bedding behind him, and a quilt, covering him, "Master, you sit first, I'll go out to help that big brother, don't worry, we won't take advantage of him, I will go up the mountain to collect medicine in the afternoon, sell the money, buy some good things and come back, and it can be regarded as repaying his favor." ”

Ji Langzhong's eyes were red, "Girl, the master has dragged you down." ”

"Master, if you say such things again, I will ignore you, don't you say that raising children to prevent old age, I am your son, giving you the elderly, serving you, it's not a natural thing, rest well, don't think so much useless, I'll go out first."

Xiao Tao walked out quickly, standing under the eaves of the porch, with a heavy heart.

The master's illness is not incurable, nor is it incurable. It's just that he is getting older, and his internal organs are declining, even if he gets better this time, it will still be slow, day by day, and there is no medicine for the stone.

"Hey, why are you standing here, it's weird cold," Hongyi hugged the futon in the carriage and walked towards her.

Xiao Tao hurriedly flashed to the side, put away her thoughts, threw up her arms, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll move." ”

Hongyi sent the things in and came out, looking at Xiao Tao's rolled up sleeves, he felt that something was wrong, so he looked at it twice, "Little brother, your arm is so white, like a girl." ”

"Don't call me little brother, call me little peach, I'm the result of wearing long sleeves every day, unlike you, shirtless in summer, of course you will get a tan"

"That's right," Hongyi didn't dig deeper, besides, he also felt that Xiao Tao was very young and not a cropper, so it was appropriate to be white.

But holding something, as soon as he turned around, he found that Xiao Tao was small, like a stunted male baby.

"Little Peach, you have to eat more in the future, otherwise it won't grow tall, and it's not good."

"Well, you're right, I'll be on par with you in the future, and I hope I can grow like you," she couldn't help laughing, thinking that if she was like him, she would probably be a dinosaur among women.

------Off topic------

You may think that some of the extras and the text don't match, it's like this, I write things, very casually, very casually, and the direction of the story is all moving with your heart.

But the character of Hongyi, I really like it, look down, you will like it too, if Xiao Tao follows Xuanyuan Heng, it is equivalent to entering a cage, and for her, it is definitely the most painful thing.
