The horseback riding speed was very fast, and it took less than a quarter of an hour to reach Maojia Village, at this time, because of the snow, there was no one outside the village, and the whole village was quiet, and only some of the fireworks of each family's cooking could be smelled.

Under the guidance of Mao Dazhuang, he walked to the door of a single-family courtyard, and looked at Mao Dazhuang's house that was better than most houses in the village, and it was also with a one-person high courtyard wall, it seems that the conditions of this big brother Mao's family are not bad!

Many of the other houses in this village have no yards, and the houses are very low, some are fenced with wooden strips as courtyard walls, and some simply have nothing but one house.

When Mao Dazhuang came down from Chu Ziheng's chasing clouds, he was still a little dizzy, he stretched out his hand and knocked on the door and shouted: "Cheng Lin, Cheng Lin, my mother, I'm back, open the door quickly!" ”

After a while, I heard the sound of answering the door from inside, "Dad, you're back!" ”

The thin wooden door creaked open, revealing the face of an eight- or nine-year-old boy with a happy smile on his face when he saw Mao Dazhuang.

However, when he saw Ruoyun and Chu Ziheng leading the horses behind Mao Dazhuang, perhaps because he saw strangers, he looked at his father with some surprise on his face, and was very wary of Ruoyun and Chu Ziheng's eyes.

Mao Dazhuang lovingly stroked the boy's head and said, "Cheng Lin, these two are Zhou Gongzi and Bai Girl, who came to our house for one night, hurry up and give the two of them a gift!" ”

The boy named Cheng Lin heard his father's words, the expression on his face relaxed a little, and then arched at the two of them, and hid behind the wooden door, looking curiously at the two horses in their hands.

"Look at this kid!" Mao Dazhuang smiled a little shyly, and then opened the door and let the two of them lead the horses in, "Country boy, I haven't seen much of the world, don't be surprised by the two of you!" ”

"Brother Mao, where is it, Cheng Lin is very cute!" Chu Ziheng said.

The two led their horses into the courtyard, and saw a woman standing under the porch looking eagerly.

This woman is quite thin, and her hair is neatly combed, but at this time, she seems to be cold and shivering.

Ruoyun and Chu Ziheng found that her clothes not only had a lot of pudding, but also turned out to be a single dress.

At this time, after the boy named Chenglin closed the door, he quickly ran over from the courtyard and hugged the arm of the woman under the porch.

Ruoyun and Chu Ziheng found out that the boy named Cheng Lin was also wearing a single dress, and he had been hiding behind the door just now, and neither of them paid attention to what he was wearing.

And the child was not wearing normal shoes on his feet, but a pair of straw sandals, with thin soles, and all five toes exposed, which were already red from the cold!

This Cheng Lin saw Ruoyun and Chu Ziheng's eyes looking at his feet, and immediately hid his feet behind his mother uncomfortably.

"Boss, who are these two?" Mao Dazhuang's wife asked.

"Yinhua, these are the two nobles I met on the way back, I missed the night, come to our house for a night, hurry up and invite the nobles in!" Mao Dazhuang helped Yeli tie the horses under a straw hut, and then said to her wife.

"Oh, the family is simple and snubbing nobles, hurry up and invite inside, it's snowing outside!" Mao Dazhuang's wife, He Shi, hurriedly smiled and said.

Entering the house, Ruoyun and Chu Ziheng were also a little stunned, the room was even colder than the outside.

Although the house can shelter from the wind and rain, but because there is no brazier, and the weather is wet and cold, the house is a little cold, but fortunately, Chu Ziheng and Ruoyun have now reached the point where the cold and heat are not inviolable, and they are not afraid of the cold, they just need a place to shelter from the wind and rain!

However, Ruoyun looked at Na Chenglin and He's family, in such a cold place, can they stand the single clothes they are wearing?

Also, in addition to being cold, this room is too simple!

There was no furniture in the house at all, only a large earthen kang coiled in the corner of the wall, and a red lacquered wooden box was placed on the side of the kang, which looked a few years old, and the paint on it was almost mottled and mottled.

The rest is that there is a half-height table in the middle of the room, which seems to have been made by himself, the table is a little old, and one leg still seems to have been mended, but it is very clean, and there is no stain.

The rest are a few benches of different heights, all of which are very old, but they are stronger.

In addition to these, it is clear at a glance that there is no furniture in this house, and it is really a feeling of poverty!

Ruoyun was a little puzzled, this Mao family's house looks pretty good in this village, why is the family so poor!

However, when they met for the first time, it was not easy to ask, Ruoyun and Chu Ziheng glanced at each other and stopped talking.

At this time, Mao Dazhuang and He Shi were already busy wiping the tables and chairs again, and then invited Ruoyun and Chu Ziheng to sit down.

He said that he was going to boil hot water, and when he turned around and was about to go out, there was a cry of a child on the earthen kang, and He quickly ran over and picked up a little girl from the earthen kang.

Ruoyun and Chu Ziheng found a child sleeping on the bed just now, and now after being picked up, they found out that it was a little girl doll carved in pink.

However, this little girl's physique is obviously a little weak, with some abnormal red in her face, and her crying voice is like a newborn kitten, soft and without any strength.

Ruoyun saw that she was wearing a bright red dress, and it looked like she had changed it from a big clothes, because the child was obviously wearing a lot bigger.

However, although it was a little old, it was without patches, and it was a cotton coat, which was better than what her mother and brother were wearing, and it was obvious that she gave the best clothes in the house to her little daughter.

"Chenglin, you go to the fire first, and after coaxing Lan'er for a while, go over!" He said to his eldest son.

The boy named Cheng Lin listened to his mother's instructions, glanced at his sister worriedly, and then ran out of the house.

He glanced at Ruoyun and Chu Ziheng apologetically, and then sat on the edge of the bed and gently patted his daughter's back and coaxed him.

"Mother, Lan'er is in pain!" The little girl, who was already three or four years old, frowned and cried.

"Lan'er, where does it hurt, my mother will rub it for you!" Ho asked.

The little girl pointed to her head, then to her stomach, and then to her chest.

He's face turned pale, and he didn't know if his daughter was in pain in so many places, or if he couldn't figure out where it hurt.

In fact, Ruoyun knew that this Lan'er was not a specific pain, but that she felt uncomfortable all over her body, but she couldn't express it when she was young, so she could only refer to a few places to represent it! R1152
