After separating from the two, Lu Yuan led Lu Yutong to the village.

There is a big stone at the entrance of the village, with three big characters of Huangkou Village written on it. When the two of them passed by the door of a villager, a big black dog suddenly burst out, startling him, he was a little afraid of dogs, and couldn't help but take a few steps back.

It was the little girl Lu Yutong, who was not afraid of the dog, and scolded it twice, Lu Yuan hurriedly hugged the little girl, afraid that she would be bitten by the dog.

The dog barked at the two of them, and soon a woman came out of the house, and the woman barked at the dog, and the dog immediately became honest.

She glanced at Lu Yuan and the others with slanted eyes, and said, "Who are you, why are you provoking my family to make a fortune, don't expect my family to lose money if you are bitten by it." ”

Lu Yuan said: "The two of us want to come to the village to spend the night, and the accommodation fee can be discussed." ”

"Go, go!" The woman said angrily: "You don't have long eyes, look at my house, this yard, like a family short of money?" If you want to stay at Tiezhu's house, their family is poor, and they may be able to take you in. ”

Lu Yuan resisted his temper and asked, "May I ask where the Tiezhu family lives?" Since coming to this world and knowing Lu Yutong, he has found that his temper has improved a lot.

The woman pointed back with her hand, and went home, and when she entered the house, she saw that the dog had not followed, and roared, "Get rich, get in!" The dog went in.

Lu Yuan walked to the village and asked several families if they could stay, but they were all refused, so he inquired about the location of Tiezhu's house.

Walking into the end of the village, there was a family on the grassland, Lu Yuan had already inquired clearly, this family was the Tiezhu family.

"Anyone?" He shouted.

A young man in sackcloth and an old woman in her fifties walked out of the house, and the old woman looked at him and asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”

Lu Yuan arched his hand and said: "Excuse me, auntie, my brother and sister want to spend the night at your house, I don't know if it's inconvenient?" The cost is negotiable. ”

The woman did not immediately refuse, and asked, "How long?" ”

Lu Yuan calculated in his heart and said, "About five days." ”

The woman looked down for a moment and said, "How about a small house with a total of twenty yuan?" ”

Lu Yuan was overjoyed and said, "Okay, thank you Auntie." ”

The woman laughed and said, "You can use the furniture, but you have to find your own way to eat." ”

Lu Yuan was already very satisfied, and agreed: "Okay!" ”

"Hammer, take them to the hut." The woman explained, the young man in Mai said "oh", turned around to lead the way, and Lu Yuan led Lu Yutong to follow quickly.

The young man was extremely silent, silent all the way, and after leading the two into the room, he turned and went out.

Lu Yuan stood in the room and looked around, and said in his heart, no wonder the woman said that it was a small room, the whole room was less than five square meters, except for a bed and a table, there was nothing.

He sat on the bed and smiled bitterly at Lu Yutong: "Yutong, I'm going to wronged you." ”

Lu Yutong shook his head, also sat down on the bed, and asked, "Do you hate me?" ”

Lu Yuan found that she would ask some strange questions every time, and he smiled: "How come, you are my only relative, I will only like you, I will not hate you." ”

Lu Yutong said: "Then why doesn't my brother sleep with Yutong at night?" ”

Lu Yuan heard her call her brother, and he was very happy in his heart. Because he is not Lu Yutong's cousin, and the two slept separately when they first met, he was used to sleeping separately.

Now when the little girl asked, she thought, "It's just a six-year-old child, so it shouldn't matter if we sleep together." ”

He said gently, "I'm afraid that snoring at night will disturb you." ”

Lu Yutong looked up and said, "I'm not afraid of noise, you sleep with me at night." ”

"Okay, I'll go get some hot water, you wait for me here."

Out of the small room, Lu Yuan saw that the young man named Hammer was sweeping the floor in the hall, and asked, "Brother Tai, can I boil some hot water?" ”

"Follow me." The hammer put down the broom and walked out, and Lu Yuan hurriedly followed.

The two walked to the stove room, the hammer took the lid of the stove, there was a pot of hot water boiling in it, and the hammer handed Lu Yuan a wooden basin and said, "You can take it yourself." ”

Lu Yuan thanked him, took a small half basin of hot water in the pot, and then received some cold water in the tank, and then returned to the hut.

In the room, Lu Yutong sat on the bed, his head kept looking out of the door, and only after seeing Lu Yuan's figure did he withdraw his gaze.

Lu Yuan smiled: "Yutong, let's wash our faces first." ”

Since there was no towel, both of them rubbed some water on their faces with their hands, and after Lu Yuan rubbed his face, he helped the little girl rub it up, and when Lu Yutong was rubbed by him, he "giggled" and laughed.

After Lu Yuan washed her feet, when she took off her shoes, she found that Lu Yutong's small cloth shoes had worn out, and there was a blister on her foot, which was thought to be caused by hurrying.

He had a long conversation with Wang Zhen Bingzhu for the past few nights, and only now did he realize that he felt very guilty.

"Yutong, are your feet hurting these days?" Lu Yuan asked.

"It doesn't hurt." The little girl shook her head.

Lu Yuan held her little hand and said, "I'll help you buy a new pair of shoes tomorrow." ”

After washing his feet and eating another cake, Lu Yuan and Lu Yutong slept on the bed together, Lu Yutong leaned sideways and looked at Lu Yuan intently, Lu Yuan was a little uncomfortable by her, and simply turned sideways and looked at her.

The two looked at each other for a long time, and Lu Yutong said softly: "Brother, I feel like you have changed." ”

Lu Yuan was shocked and said, "Then do you think it's better now, or is it better before?" ”

"I like my brother now." The little girl replied.

Lu Yuan's heart regained his tranquility and said with a smile: "I also like Yu Tong. ”

After that, the two of them didn't speak, Lu Yuan stared at the little girl's face, only to feel that her big eyes were like a maze, Lu Yuan looked at it, and gradually fell asleep.

On the second day, Lu Yuan was woken up by the sound of roosters, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Lu Yutong staring at him with wide eyes, and he even had the illusion of being stared at by these eyes all night.

Getting up, he felt all over his body, sleeping on the floor and table for so long, and finally sleeping in bed for the night.

He looked at the little girl and smiled: "Yutong, my brother will take you to the county seat today to buy shoes." ”

"These shoes can still be worn, don't buy them." The little girl whispered.

Lu Yuan didn't say much, and after getting dressed, he went out and prepared to get some water.

When he entered the hall, he saw the hammer sweeping the floor in the hall, so he said hello and walked to the stove room.

When he left the main house, he met a swarthy old man, who nodded to him and entered the hall.

Lu Yuan guessed that this old man should be an iron pillar.

After the water was boiled, he returned to the hall and saw that the iron pillar was arguing with the hammer, and after listening to two sentences, as if he was talking about recruiting a family or something, he did not care, and returned to his hut.

After the two finished washing, Lu Yuan led Lu Yutong out of the hut, ready to take her to the county seat to buy shoes.

After entering the hall, the hammer disappeared, but the old man sat at a table and ate something, which looked like a ball of cyan things.

Lu Yuan greeted the old man and said, "Uncle, what are you eating?" ”

The old man smiled and said, "The wild vegetable dumplings made by yourself blindly, the guests want to try them." ”

At this time, the old woman also walked in, brought a bowl of porridge and put it in front of the old man's table, Lu Yuan looked at it, the porridge was like clear water, and there were not a few grains of rice in it.

Unexpectedly, the old man actually fed on wild vegetables, and he couldn't eat a few rice, Lu Yuan's heart was a little shocked, it seems that the life of the people here is not good.

"We've eaten, uncle, is this year's harvest bad?" Lu Yuan asked.

"The harvest is okay, our family mainly grows tea and rice, but in recent years, there have been more and more taxes, and the price of tea has become lower and lower, alas!"

Seeing that the old man wanted to speak and stopped, Lu Yuan asked, "Is it the reason for the government and the four major chambers of commerce?" ”

The old man was about to speak, when the old woman suddenly interjected, "I don't know where the guest came from?" ”

"The two of us are from Ningguo County."

"I don't know what the guests do for a living?" The old woman asked again.

"I'm working in the yamen, but it won't take a few days before I take office."

Hearing this, the old woman and the old man knelt down in unison.

From their expressions, they could feel the fear and fear, and Lu Yuan didn't need to ask to know that the government here would definitely not be any better.

In the past, he only thought that Lu Yutong could live a good life, but now it suddenly occurred to him that if he could let the old man and his wife, Huangkou Village, and even the entire county live a peaceful life without worrying about food and clothing, it would not be in vain for him to come to this world.

"Uncle, is the price of tea falling due to the four major chambers of commerce?" Lu Yuan asked again.

It's a pity that after the husband and wife learned that he was an official, they became wary, hurriedly shook their heads, and refused to say anything.
