Chapter 18 Human Affection
In the evening, Li Po led the people into the city gate.
They all had blue faces and white lips from the cold, and the two babies were carried on their backs.
But in everyone's hands, five or six fat fish are threaded with hemp rope, and even the two babies are no exception, and they will not let go when they die.
It was the hope of survival, a few days of food for the whole family.
With these foods, no matter how cold the weather is, it can last a bit.
And at this time, Li Po, who led them out, had a world of difference in their status in their minds from before.
Li Po is their savior.
In fact, giving people hope in a desperate situation, where can their mood be described in a few words of life-saving benefactor?
At this time, the most straightforward and simple expression is that no one will walk in front of Li Po, and Li Po's name, in their mouths, has also changed from Li Da and Li Dalang to Li Gong.
People in this period, from top to bottom, all believe in the Buddha, fatalism, among the dignitaries and the people, there is a very market, so this inappropriate title fell on Li Po's head.
If the current county master hears it, he will definitely be angry and crooked his nose.
However, Li Po didn't have much consciousness himself.
Just shrunk his shoulders and back, trying to minimize the wind area of his body, but his body was still shaking.
Obviously, this Li Gong was also frozen.
Just after the city gate, Li Chun, who had been waiting at the root of the city gate, immediately stumbled over.
Looking at Li Chun, who was frozen like a quail, Li Po kicked him angrily.
Stuffed the catch in his hand into his hand, "It's too idle, don't you, you don't want to live, right?" Hurry up and go back, on this cold day, if you get sick again, Lao Tzu will throw you to the mass grave. ”
Li Chun smiled, patted his buttocks, and said with the fish in his hand: "Big brother, go back together, Xiaochun will cook fish for you to eat......"
Li Podao: "You go back first, I still have something to do." ”
As he spoke, he waved his hand and asked Li Chun to take the people back to the camp first.
And he himself turned around and went to the porter with two fat fish.
There is a price to do anything, Li Po will not think that if there is no expression, this kind of preferential treatment to himself will continue forever, and this kind of favor needs to be maintained from time to time in order to last longer.
Does any of the displaced people understand this? Some......
A man in his forties fell at the end, grabbed Li Po with trembling hands, silently untied one of the fish he was carrying, and stuffed it into Li Po's hand, then bowed and turned around.
A small thank you, but it represents the warmest and most sincere side of the human heart.
Li Po twitched the corners of his mouth, and instantly felt that the catch in his hand was much heavier.
Immediately, his mood also became very good, he knew how to be grateful, and he could put it into action, he was not much moved, but he felt that he was busy with this scene, and he had an unexpected harvest.
I knocked on the wooden door of the porter, and pushed the door in.
The fire in the house was very hot, making the whole house warm like spring.
Looking at the red-faced two guys drinking in the room, Li Po's mood immediately became bad.
The two glanced at him, not even moving.
Li Po immediately put on a smiling face and raised the catch in his hand, "Thank you two for giving you food, this thing is not a tribute, just to give you two wine." ”
Looking at the fresh fatty fish, the two in the house smiled a little.
Both people in the room were young.
A military commander and a tax collector are both about twenty years old, not much older than Li Po.
The tax official spoke in the Kansai dialect, which is now called the official dialect, and as soon as the posture came out, the previous goatee was beyond reach, maybe it was from the county government, and it had a family background that was different from ordinary people.
The other captain has nothing to say, just like Wei Chi, he is fierce and wild from his bones, obviously don't look young, he is also a veteran of the army.
In today's Northland, there are the most such people, and there is no need to go into details.
There were just two of them in the house, and the others were driven to the Arrow Tower.
On the only table in the room, there was a jar of turbid wine, and it was obviously difficult to eat it when the tax collector frowned after taking a sip.
But this Wu Chang, surnamed Liu, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, touched each other's cups one after another, almost forcing the other party to pour a cup of turbid wine into his stomach.
Neither of them spoke, but Li Po was not idle.
There are many people in this era, and Li Po has long begun to understand that the hierarchy here is almost ubiquitous, and there is nothing to complain about, so he can only follow the customs of the locals.
Li Po endured the hunger in his belly, and quickly put the fish next to the fire, waited for the fish to melt, and then removed the scales and dug the belly.
He was familiar with finding a cooking utensil in the gatehouse, first fried it in oil, and when the fragrance just came out, he put it in a clay pot, got some water into it, and when the water boiled, put the fish in it.
Seasonings such as green onion and ginger quickly spread through the room.
Liu Wuchang twitched his nose, even if he didn't want to talk to a homeless person, he still couldn't help but smile and said, "Yes, if this craft comes to us, the brothers will be blessed." ”
Of course, this is just a joke.
Then he asked, "I said, what did you do before?" ”
He was indeed very curious, how did this kid with a Kansai accent and Luo San know each other, so he was imprisoned in the camp camp?
Li Po showed eight teeth, staring at the fire, roasting the fire by the way, and replied: "The villain has done everything before, but he has never been a robber, you are asking in vain." ”
In a word, Zhang Wuchang laughed, and the tax official was also a good man.
Half an hour later, when the fire was ready, Li Po divided the stewed fish in the clay pot into a plate, poured a thick soup, and brought it to the table for the two of them.
Zhang Wuchang had already moved his index fingers, but he just let the tax collector and put down his chopsticks.
After tasting it, I couldn't help but praise, "Well, this craftsmanship...... It's no worse than what Chef Wang did in Chunxiang Building, good, good. ”
The tax collector also held a pair of chopsticks, squinting his eyes and chin from time to time, obviously satisfied.
Li Po smiled, "The villain has no other skills, but when it comes to eating, it can be called the way, if you two need it in the future, call the villain, if it is nothing, the villain will retire." ”
While talking in circles, his eyes kept staring at the fish soup in the clay pot and swallowing his saliva.
Such an obvious psychological hint made Wu Chang laugh again, and waved his hand aggressively, "Take it, take it, it's been a hard day, isn't it?" ”
(Ask for collections, ask for recommendations, ask for rewards...... )
