This couplet can spit out the mundane in the future generations. But in Song Shouye's eyes, it couldn't be better, far beyond his expectations. Especially for him, a small businessman, it is the best auspicious word.

And the word. Of course, Song Shouye doesn't know calligraphy, but as long as he is not blind, he knows that Li Luo's character is too much stronger than Lin Xuexue. If you force him to evaluate, he can only say that he is good-looking and magnificent. Such a couplet, in Song Shouye's view, is not something that can be pasted by small households.

Even if he pays a penny, he thinks it is not a loss.

"Li Langjun really deserves to be a disciple of the Li family, a great talent! Great talent! The villain is convinced, even if Li Langjun does not rely on the family shadow to become a high-ranking official, he will definitely be able to become a high-ranking official! Song Shouye said half panicked, half flattering.

With the addition of this couplet, he judged that Li Luo must be a child of the family.

"As a child of the family, I do have the idea of serving the court as an official. Now in this Jianghua Island, it is just a temporary residence. Take this opportunity to feel the suffering of the people, and in the future, as an official, you will also understand the people's feelings. Li Luo put down his pen and stood with his hands in a light tone.

Song Shouye couldn't help but bend down, feeling that the coercion brought to him by this Li Langjun was getting bigger and bigger, making him feel like he was on pins and needles.

Li Luo smiled secretly in his heart, and said: "Shopkeeper Song, when you and I meet each other, it can be regarded as a fate. In the future, when I return to Inju, I will not forget today. ”

Song Shouye's heart trembled when he heard this, what did he mean by this? He couldn't tell what Li Luo meant. What if Li Luo opened his mouth to borrow money again? He is a small family, how can he satisfy the appetite of the family?

"The villain is fortunate to have three lives, and he was lifted by Li Langjun. Lang Jun has something that needs the villain's effect, and the villain doesn't dare to disobey. Song Shouye said stubbornly. He made up his mind that even if he suffered a small loss, he would never offend Li Luo. But if you still borrow money, you can only say that you don't.

In the couplet I just wrote, Shopkeeper Song also read it. If you write a couplet from a nearby villager in the next package, how about letting you sell it on your behalf? Li Luo said.

Song Shouye smiled bitterly: "When Lang Jun first came here, he must not know. Now that the taxes are too heavy, the villagers are having a hard time, and they can't eat enough, so where can they have the money to buy couplets?

Lang Junmo looks at a couplet and the pen costs only 30 yuan, but now paper is expensive, plus the paper fee, the cost of a couplet is 70 or 80 yuan, and he can buy five liters of food. ”

Li Luo was a little disappointed, "It's only seventy or eighty words, and it's so embarrassing?" ”

Song Shouye bent down and said, "It's good to teach Lang Jun to know." Now I only talk about Modongzhai, more than 100 households, and at this time, there are only 10 households that can come up with consistent money. As for most people's families, how can they have the money to buy couplets after eating a meal and worrying about the next meal?

Lang Jun came to the shop for a long time, and no other customers came, which is the reason. As a result, it is difficult for the small store to continue, and it is not far away to close the store. If it weren't for Li Langjun today, the villain would also plan to save money for the couplet. Although he complained bitterly to block Li Luo from borrowing money, what he said was also the truth.

"How difficult it is to mourn the people!" Li Luo sighed half-truthfully. Since this road is impassable, I have to find another way.

Song Shouye complimented: "Li Langjun is compassionate and heartfelt, and he will be able to make decisions for us and other small people in the future." ”

Li Luo knew that he could only get this amount of money today. In his opinion, if you are not afraid of deep doors, you are afraid of being stingy. A miser loves money like his life, and it has always been the most difficult thing to do. He pretended to use the prestige of the family, and even rubbed it with both soft and hard intimidation, and this Song Shouye only paid a hundred yuan, and it would be difficult to do more.

However, then Song Shouye gave Li Luo an extra liter of wheat, and sold Li Luo a hanging jar at a price of 20 yuan cheaper, and sold Li Luo a firewood knife at a price of 30 yuan cheaper.

The hanging jar cost forty wen, and the firewood knife cost fifty wen. Li Luo hung the money for the pen fee, and suddenly there were only ten wen left.

After learning about the local situation with Song Shouye, Li Luo took a hanging jar, a firewood knife, and a small bag of wheat out of the "Song Ji Store", and Song Shouye respectfully sent it to the gate of the courtyard.

Seeing Li Luo's back disappear, Song Shouye let out a sigh of relief.

Li Luo took out his watch and looked at the time, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon. He was not in the mood to wander around the village, and walked straight back. However, when he met a few villagers along the way, they all looked at him in surprise, and some people asked him where he came from.

Li Luo greeted with a friendly and somewhat arrogant look, revealing his clan background by the way, and then threw the suspicious and fearful villagers behind him.

"Is it true?"

"It looks like it's real, but it's not like it......"

"Who can tell what happened in these years? Regardless of whether it is true or not, just don't offend horizontally or vertically. ”

Listening to the discussion behind him, Li Luo knew that there would not be too much trouble for the time being.

When I returned to my new home in the deserted courtyard, I saw Cui Xiuning still roasting the fire, but she was not alone, and there was a fox lying on the other side of the fire.

The fox seemed to know that the new owner here had no ill will towards it, and it was obviously bolder, so he simply ran to the fire in the wing room to roast the fire, but he didn't dare to get too close to Cui Xiuning.

Cui Xiuning is obviously also a little wary of the female fox, because she has a stick in her hand to stir the fire.

Seeing Li Luo enter the house, the woman and the female fox all looked at him, and the eyes of one person and one fox were not very friendly.

"This fox is really cunning, it seems to be able to read minds, and he is not afraid of us." Li Luo said, putting down the things in his hand.

Cui Xiuning said: "Why have you been there for so long?" It's roasting its belly, probably afraid of freezing the cubs. Of course, the second half of the sentence said the fox.

"It seems that the beast may not really be afraid of fire."

"Where did you get the money to buy jars and firewood knives? Now we really don't need that. ”

"I wrote a blessing couplet to the shopkeeper, and I took out my body to scare him, and I got this. Three liters of wheat, a firewood knife, a hanging pot, and ten cents left. ”

"It's not fraud or intimidation. I boil water in a hanging pot to drink, and you chop some wood to burn the kang at night. ”

"Policeman, how do you eat wheat? And boiled water? ”

"I think it's best to eat it raw, and although it's definitely not tasty, it can maintain the nutrition as much as possible. We will eat these three liters of wheat slowly, and we will eat half a liter tonight. ”

"Women are better at living, you decide this."

"What does it eat? I haven't eaten for a few days, and I'm still pregnant with a cub. ”

"I don't know. Don't foxes eat meat? Definitely don't eat wheat. ”

Cui Xiuning beat a can of snow with a hanging can and hung it on the fire to burn. Li Luo found a stone to sharpen the wood knife, and when the fox heard the sound of sharpening the knife, he immediately became alert and kept staring at Li Luo to sharpen the knife.

However, when he saw Li Luo grinding for a while and starting to chop firewood, he turned his stomach over and headed for the fire.

Half an hour later, the hanging jar gurgled and the water boiled.

But Cui Xiuning made a difficulty.

How to drink water without a cup and without Wan? It's not impossible to drink it in a jar, but the problem is that there is only one jar.

If she drinks first and Li Luo drinks later, it is equivalent to Li Luo eating her saliva, and she feels that she is at a loss. But if Li Luo drinks her first and then drinks, it is equivalent to her eating Li Luo's saliva, and she feels even more at a loss.

Both horizontal and vertical are her Cui Xiuning's losses. And this is not only a loss, but also a very good thing.

"Fugitive, is there any bamboo around here?" Cui Xiuning asked suddenly.

Li Luo stopped the knife, he knew what Cui Xiuning meant, "Police, I didn't think of this, but we can't afford a bowl." I'll go see if there's any bamboo, and you look at the fire. ”

Seeing Li Luo carrying a firewood knife out, Cui Xiuning took out some wheat and carefully divided it into two parts. At first, the two portions of wheat were about the same amount, but when Cui Xiuning grabbed a small handful and put it in the other portion, the two portions of wheat were obviously different.

Li Luo caught a villager and asked that there was a small bamboo forest three miles away, but it belonged to the Quan family, not an ownerless thing.

Li Luo found the bamboo forest, but the bamboo in the north is not good, and it is obviously smaller than the bamboo in the south. The bamboo forest is next to a family, and it should be the right family.

The courtyard of the Quan family was dilapidated and obviously very poor, and Li Luo heard that although the Quan family had a bamboo forest, they had no land and could not grow food, so they only lived on this bamboo forest.

When a middle-aged man with a yellow face and thin muscles saw Li Luo, he immediately asked, "Do you want to buy winter bamboo shoots?" As long as five pennies a pound. ”

But when he saw Li Luo's firewood knife, he immediately said: "The big bamboo is 30 wen a tree, and the small bamboo is 20 wen a tree." He was obviously a little excited, no one had bought bamboo for a long time, and bamboo shoots could not be eaten as food.

But he was soon disappointed, this boy who seemed to live a good life did not come to buy bamboo, nor did he buy winter bamboo shoots.

"Brother, I just want to chop two pieces of bamboo as a cup, not one."

"How can there be two cuts, if you want to cut one, the small one only costs twenty yuan." The owner of the right family said.

Li Luo only has ten yuan, and of course he will not spend twenty yuan to buy a bamboo. This family is so poor, and it is not good for him to pretend to be a family and oppress people.

"I'll give you three cents, and my brother will give me two pieces of bamboo." Li Luo said.

Before the owner of the Quan family could speak, suddenly a woman's shouting and scolding came from the house.

"I'll kill you Nizi, a ruined man, and dare to put so much wheat! You are rich and rich, and you can't eat wild vegetables! Do you want to hang yourself after eating this bit of wheat, or do you want to get married? I'll beat you to death! ”

In the midst of the shouting and scolding, a Goryeo girl in a torn cotton jacket ran out crying, regardless of Li Luo's presence, covering her face and shouting pitifully: "Dad, my mother beat me again...... Whining! ”

The master of the Quan family stomped his feet, "Good fight!" There is only half a bucket of wheat left in the house, how can you get such a scourge! Our family will starve to death before the Chinese New Year! ”

A Goryeo woman dressed in white rushed out, "Whoever told you to show your face and cry in front of outsiders, give me death!" "Raise your slap and hit again.

Li Luo looked at the black line, and could only poke it there in a daze, hesitating whether to leave.

When the middle-aged woman went back with the girl's ears, the owner of the Quan family finally took care of Li Luo.

"You give me ten cents, and I'll chop half a root for you."

Li Luo said: "I only have seven cents. "If he hadn't experienced this, he would have given him five cents at most.

"Okay, I'll cut it for you. Where's your money? The owner of the right family said.

Li Luo slowly took out seven copper coins and handed them to the other party, and the master of the Quan family took Li Luo into the bamboo forest, pointing to a bamboo as thick as a wine glass: "This?" ”

"That's it!" Li Luo shook his head and pointed to a bamboo that was the thickness of a teacup.

The owner of the right family no longer cared, and simply cut off half of the root.

When Li Luo left with half a bamboo, there was still a girl's cry in the house, and she heard her mother say, "I guess I won't be able to celebrate the New Year......

Back at the deserted house, Cui Xiuning was scolding the fox: "Aren't you a meat eater?" Why do you want to eat wheat? If you dare to touch this bag again, I'll kick you out!" ”

Li Luo smiled: "Police, you have to be a little sympathetic. But the tone turned, "Did it eat it?" ”

"Nope." Cui Xiuning smiled rarely, with an amazing feeling, "While I was napping, it pulled the bag and happened to be caught by me." ”

"Then you should arrest it and go back to the police station." Li Luodao.

Cui Xiuning immediately stopped smiling, and her originally bright eyes suddenly sharpened, "You are the one who should be arrested." ”

"Alright." Li Luo waved his hand and changed the topic: "Half a bamboo, it cost seven yuan." ”

Cui Xiuning frowned with good-looking eyebrows, "It's that we still have three pennies." ”

Li Luo began to make bamboo tubes with firewood knives, and said: "Many people in the village are going to run out of food. We're fast too. ”

Cui Xiuning said: "Eat the wheat first and then make a bamboo tube." She pointed to the two handfuls of wheat that had been divided, and ate them herself.

"Policeman, mine is more than yours."

"You're doing physical work, and the man eats a lot, so let's take one more."

"This wheat is eaten raw, it seems to be a little sweet, it is really not unpleasant."

"It's watching us."

"Let it see. It eats meat anyway. ”

"We're meat too."

"Be careful that night."
