Chapter 53: Warm Winter
Bang, bang, bang~
"Who? Hurry! Come on! β
Bang, bang, bang~
"What a son of a bastard to break down the door! Oh, my waist, come on, don't knock! β
"Haha! Lao Xu, you won't do too much at night, no? β
"Which bastard is talking nonsense! Let Lao Tzu roll in and take a look? β
"Uncle, I am the old king next door to you, I dare to call my old king Lao Tzu, I think Lao Xu you have eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall!"
"The old king next door?"
"That's right!"
"What are you doing here? Hurry back! β
"I'm not looking at the sky and it's clearing, come and take a walk!"
With a "crunch", the door was finally opened, and before the old man who was guarding the door could speak, the black-faced man outside the door shouted: "Lao Xu's body is not good?" Legs and feet are not in order? Hurry up Ming'er, let's bring you a few plasters to ensure that the medicine is cured. β
"Whew!" The old man surnamed Xu choked and said, "There is a dead mouse in your waist - pretending to be a hunter, just your ability?" Do you think you are the reincarnation of Bian Que? Dream on! β
"Oops! Why? Lao Wang was about to go inside, but Lao Xu stepped on the threshold, stared at Lao Wang, and said unkindly, "It's a cold day, you don't have a cat at home, why are you coming to my house?" Don't you need to burn wood fire? β
Lao Wang was originally a walking Langzhong, well, maybe a little bigger, just a hairy dog skin plaster to cheat money. Even if you deceive people, the key is to cowardly and be looked down upon by the neighbors around you. It's more than forty now, and I don't even have a girl, and I'm vulgar, and I don't even have a woman. Later, when he was even raiding by foreign races, looking at his appearance, he was a waste of energy, and he didn't bother to kill.
So far, only Lao Xu is still a friend. And Lao Xu has also taken care of him for many years.
However, recently, Lao Wang has always run to his house, and Lao Xu is not happy, because one more person will cost five catties of wood. Speaking of this, Lao Xu was full of gratitude to Gongsun Du, the captain of Liaodong, and he couldn't be humble in the slightest.
He was already old, and he thought that he would not be able to survive this winter, but after moving to the Liao team, he actually repaired the thing called "Kang" by Laoshizi. At first, I felt that although I didn't need money, it took up a lot of space, which was quite a hindrance, but now, in addition to being satisfied, I am still satisfied, and I am very satisfied.
Of course, this is not the key, the key is that he always feels that Lao Wang looks at his insider's eyes wrong, and he always feels that there is a fire burning.
That's why he didn't let him in today, but he was honest by nature, and he wouldn't speak ill of him.
Lao Wang didn't care at all, he didn't treat himself as an outsider at all, and said loudly: "It's not interesting to stay alone, come and accompany my brother and sister-in-law!" β
Suddenly, there was a message from the courtyardβ
"Lao Xu, is Brother Wang coming?"
"It's me, sister-in-law!" Lao Wang replied loudly, then smiled at Lao Xu, opened Lao Xu's hand, and walked in without seeing anything else.
"Hey~" Lao Xu sighed and walked inside. As soon as he stepped into the door, he felt uncomfortable again, because Lao Wang was holding his bowl and eating the dishes on the table.
"You ......"
"Alright. Old man, I'll fill you a new bowl, hurry up and eat it, don't get cold. Lao Xu's wife happened to come over with a meal and said to Lao Xu.
After a meal, Lao Xu was quite unhappy. Not because his job was robbed, but because the more he looked at it, the more he felt that there was something wrong with Lao Wang and his wife.
So, it's weird to be happy.
However, although Lao Xu thought so, at the end of the day, he did not find that Lao Wang and his wife had any etiquette, on the contrary, there was a faint taste of family affection in it. In this regard, Lao Xu can only blame it on being dazzled and feeling wrong.
It was night, and before Lao Xu climbed onto the kang, Lao Xu's wife stared at him silently on the kang. Lao Xu thought it was an illusion, and when he swayed left and right, he found that his eyes were moving with him, and he couldn't help but wonder: "What's wrong with you?" You okay? If you get sick, I'll call you a doctor. β
Lao Xu's wife said lightly: "Do you think I have anything with Brother Wang?" β
Lao Xu's body stiffened, and then he pretended to be casual and said, "How is it possible!" You're thinking too much! β
Lao Xu's wife didn't speak, just looked at Lao Xu.
Lao Xu doesn't want to think about it, since he was sixteen years old and married his wife, it has been nearly forty years, these days have been a long time, Lao Xu's wife naturally knows him well, today, no, it was from a few days ago, that's it, the performance is very abnormal. At first, Lao Xu's wife didn't understand what was going on, but today, Lao Xu's performance was really a little too much, and she understood it all at once.
Lao Xu wanted to quibble, but he was not good at words, so he could only continue to be silent in the end. In the end, it was Lao Xu's wife who broke the silence-
"Lao Xu, I didn't expect that after so many years together, you wouldn't believe me!"
"I ......" Lao Xu opened his mouth to speak, but he still couldn't say it. Honest people, honest excessively, I really can't talk about those scenes.
Lao Xu's wife smiled: "Lao Xu, you are still like this, you are honest." β
Lao Xu couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and felt that his face was hot.
"Okay, I'll tell you the truth!" Lao Xu's wife's words made Lao Xu mention his heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys to his throat, and maybe if something was wrong, he would jump out.
Lao Xu's wife smiled faintly and said, "Brother Wang, he is more than ten years younger than us, originally he thought that he was dead, but when the pill came before, he thought that he couldn't escape, but he didn't think about it, and he lived until now." β
"Recently, this guy doesn't know who he has listened to, but the prodigal son turned back, saying that he has been helping your big brother for more than these years, and he knows that our children and grandchildren have died in the hands of Maruko, so he plans to give us a pension and send us to the end. Didn't you say before that the wood fire in the wood room was inexplicably much more? I also lied to you that it was sent by the captain of the school, but in fact it was not, but Brother Wang took advantage of the weather to go out to fight. Although he didn't say anything, I saw bruises on his face at the time, and it seemed that he had fallen a lot. β
"Is it like this?" Lao Xu's eyes were filled with tears, and he muttered, "I said, why didn't I see anyone else in those two days!" β
Subsequently, Lao Xu impatiently ran to Lao Wang's house to admit his mistake, and then confessed his relatives and became brothers. Many years later, after Lao Wang sent Lao Xu and his wife away, they also went to ...... not long
Such a scene is staged everywhere in the Liao City, but it is much the same, what remains unchanged is their love for "Kang" and their belief in Gongsun Du!
became the first batch of people to support Gongsun Du.
Let's not talk about that, but about the barracks.
Gongsun Du finished practicing the Liuhe knife, took a hot bath, and as soon as he came to the study, he heard from the guards that the county magistrate Wei asked to see him, although it was strange what happened, but he still hurriedly let him in.
"General."
"Come, come, come, find your own place to sit!" Gongsun Du said casually.
Wei Yu answered, found a chair, pulled it to the stove and sat down, and kept reaching out to absorb the heat around it, and praised it in his mouth: "General, your method is really good, now the winter is not as sad as before." β
Gongsun Du nodded noncommittally and didn't say anything.
Wei You's voice changed and said, "General, do we consider teaching the 'kang' to all places that live in Youzhou, Bingzhou, and other places where the winter is particularly cold. β
Gongsun Du didn't say yes, nor did he say no, but said, "Have you thought about the possible impact?" β
