We didn't stop for a morning, lunch was eaten in the carriage, although the dry food prepared by the drunken fairy building for us was a little less warm, but it still had an endless aftertaste in the mouth, the four of us continued to rush non-stop after lunch, and the whole day actually ran out of nearly three hundred miles.

It wasn't until the sun went down that I turned my head to Mo Lu and said, "Find a place to rest, Mo Lu said that there should be a village ahead, and we will spend the night in the village tonight."

When the last rays of the setting sun disappeared from view, we finally arrived in a village.

There is no sunlight, but you can vaguely see the pattern of the village in front of you, the village is not big, only more than 30 households, each family is a thatched house, scattered so that it seems that the atmosphere of the mountains and wilderness is strong, it is dinner time at this time, the grass house of each family is faintly shrouded in a layer of faint mist that seems to be nothing, it can be seen that this is emitted from the stove.

"Brother Bi, I'm hungry......!" I don't know when Xiaodouzi showed his little head again, looking at me with a sad face, and Xiaobai was also depressed, squatting weakly on Xiaodouzi's shoulder.

Yue'er didn't cry out that she was hungry, but she could tell from her pale face that she was also hungry.

I turned my head to look at Mo Lu and said, "Senior Mo, let's find a family to live in this village!" ”

"Good!" Mo Lu replied and drove the carriage forward.

Along the main road in the village, Mo Lu looked for a farmhouse that seemed to have a large gate, and then stopped the carriage and got out of the carriage and raised his hand to knock on the door, and after a while, there was a response from the door: "Who?" ”

"We're passing through and want to spend the night here!" Mo Lu replied as soon as he opened his mouth.

Footsteps sounded softly inside the door. In an instant, the door opened, and a wrinkled face came out, an old man.

The old man looked us up and down and asked, "Are you passing?" ”

"Exactly!" Mo Lu nodded his hand, and I was also busy with the old man when I saw this.

"Where are you guys coming from?" The old man continued.

"Our son-in-law came from Chizhou City and went to the capital to take the imperial examination!" Mo Lu has the posture of a Tang monk, and his tone is exactly the same as that of the Tang Dynasty monk.

The old man nodded slightly, and then opened the door, "Come in!" ”

"Thank you!" Mo Lu and I hurriedly gave salutes, and then pulled Xiaodouzi and Yue'er into the courtyard.

The old man led us into the candle-lit hut, and as soon as we entered the hut, we saw an old woman cooking in front of the stove pit, and when she saw us come in, she got up and saluted.

The old man led us into the room, and then asked his wife to cook more food, and the old woman didn't say much, but turned around and scooped two more bowls of rice.

As I spoke, I looked around, although this farmer's family is not small, but it is not a rich family, but there are only two old couples, no one else, I opened my mouth and asked the old man: "Uncle, there are only two people in this family, you and aunt?" ”

When the old man heard this, he immediately sighed, and said quietly: "Alas, it's not because of Lord Kang! ”

"Kang-sama?" I suddenly shouted, why is it Lord Kang again?

"Alas, since that Kang Da recruited soldiers, the prime of life in this village have all been dragged to serve as soldiers, leaving only us old people, speaking of which, I don't know if Lu Dao can come back alive!" As the old man spoke, he couldn't help but raise his hand to wipe his tears, and the old woman in front of the stove heard about it and wiped her tears together.

Mo Lu whispered in my ear: "The border has been fighting for many years, but it needs enough troops to replenish it!" ”

I nodded slightly, I believe that every country must be equipped with sufficient troops to safeguard its national sovereignty and resist foreign aggression, and it was a very common method to catch strong men in ancient times.

I couldn't bear to mention it again, so I just shut up and said no more.

The old woman quickly prepared the meal, and the old man helped her to fill the whole table, and then beckoned the four of us to come and eat, and all four of us were not polite, and sat down at the table and began to eat.

Soon the four of us had finished dinner, and it was already dark outside the hut, so the old man arranged two rooms for us to rest, and the four of us went to the room without saying anything.

I slept peacefully that night!

……

When we woke up the next day, it was already dawn, the old man and the old woman were already cooking, the four of us had washed up and the meal was ready, and the four of us quickly finished breakfast and continued on our way.

Before leaving, I left the old man a small piece of broken silver, but the old man said that he would not accept anything, and when he saw that I insisted on staying, he did not refuse.

The four of us rushed towards the capital in the light of the rising sun, and no one said anything along the way.

In fact, in the morning at the old man's house, none of the four of us let go of the belly to eat, originally this farm family is not rich, all of a sudden came to the four of us, if we let go of the belly to eat, I am afraid that this week their old couple will have to go hungry.

On the way, I quietly asked Xiaodouzi and Yue'er, who were hiding in the carriage, "Are you not full?" ”

Yue'er smiled shyly and didn't speak, but Xiaodouzi said regardless of it: "Brother Bi, we haven't eaten enough!" ”

Even Xiaobai, who was hiding in Xiaodouzi's clothes, poked his head out, and couldn't help but squeak and scream, and it could be seen that this little thing was also hungry.

"Hehe, I'll know it!" I smiled, "When we get to the front, we'll get to the town, and then find a restaurant to have a good meal!" ”

"Hmm!" When the two of them heard me say this, they immediately nodded their heads.

Mo Lu was driving the carriage to find his way seriously, and I turned my head to look at him, "Senior Mo, you haven't eaten enough, have you?" ”

"That farmer's family is not rich, how can he bear to eat a few more bowls of him!" Mo Lu turned his head to me and smiled kindly, and spoke.

"Will there be a town ahead?" I couldn't help but ask.

"It should be!"

"Well, let's have another meal when we get to the town ahead!"

Mo Lu didn't say anything more and continued to drive the carriage forward.

I don't know how far the road has gone again, anyway, I feel that my stomach has been concentrated on my back, and the little beans and Yue'er who were hiding in the carriage are already grumbling with hunger, looking at the momentum of the little beans, if I can't meet the town again, I will jump off the carriage to hunt game, just at this time, Mo Lu whispered: "Bi Gongzi, there is a town ahead!" ”

When Xiaodouzi and Yue'er heard this, they hurriedly poked their heads out and looked forward, only to see the tall city wall far ahead, and the red flag was planted on the city wall. ”

Xiaodouzi and Yue'er's faces were suddenly full of excitement.

Mo Lu drove straight into the town in a carriage.

As soon as the carriage ran to the gate of the city, we were stopped, and the guards guarding the city were dressed in gray armor and holding a spear, saying that they wanted to check, and they would check it, anyway, we didn't do anything, the guards looked at me and Mo Lu, and then looked at Xiaodouzi and Yue'er who were sitting in the carriage, and waved at us and let me in.

As soon as I left the city gate, I asked Mo Lu curiously, "Senior Mo, what's going on?" ”

"I'm afraid I'm still looking for the red fox!" Mo Lu said guessingly.

I was secretly frightened, I really didn't expect the old man of Xu Mansion to be able to launch such a powerful strength, even the guards guarding the city gate would help find the whereabouts of the red fox, thanks to the fact that I didn't bring the red fox with me, I really have to go and gradually slow the old man Xu when I have time, let him not push too hard, the red fox has now changed his ways, you can't kill them all!

All four of us were hungry, so as soon as the carriage entered the town, it headed for the restaurant.
