Wen Qingzhu crossed his hands in front of his chest and bowed slightly.

Seeing her salute like this, the eldest lady was shocked, but she didn't say anything, but looked at her and Beidou carefully, and then turned her head and went in.

After a while, the eldest lady came out, carrying a piece of jerky and a small packet of dandelions, and handed them over.

Beidou replaced Wen Qingzhu Next, Wen Qingzhu saluted again and thanked him.

The eldest lady hurriedly supported her, and the title changed from a girl to a girl: "Girl, don't be so polite, where are you going?" ”

Wen Qingzhu hesitated for a moment, and finally did not explain, but simply explained: "I was separated from my family, and then I met Qi Jun, my friends and uncles died, and I want to go to the northeast." ”

Northeast side?

The eldest lady was stunned, but saw Wen Qingzhu say goodbye and leave.

She hurriedly grabbed Wen Qingzhu's hand, but it was extremely cold, and hurriedly asked, "Why don't you boil dandelions here and drink them?" ”

"Thank you, auntie, but, but I don't have any knife coins, and I don't have anything of value on me." Wen Qingzhu was obviously a little embarrassed.

Hearing the knife coin, the eldest lady became more and more in awe, and hurriedly pulled her into the fence.

Turned his head and went to support the pot, and went to carry the bucket.

Wen Qingzhu hurriedly stepped forward to help, revealing a pair of soft hands.

The eldest lady looked at it, and finally let her go to work.

I saw Wen Qingzhu familiar with adding water, adding firewood, lighting a fire, and doing it in one go.

She took the dandelion out, jumped carefully, and gestured to Beidou again.

Beidou took out a cloth bag from his sleeve and opened it, and there were a few golden hay inside.

He took one and handed it to Wen Qingzhu and asked her to put it in the water to boil.

Soon the color of the water turned a faint golden yellow, and the eldest lady couldn't help but ask, "Girl, what is this?" ”

"This is a medicine that can ward off the cold, called golden grass, I have been sick for several days, and I have been relying on this support, but now there are not many, so I took the liberty to ask the eldest mother if there are dandelions, now that the season has passed, dandelions are really rare."

Wen Qingzhu looked sick and weak, out of breath.

No matter how I look at it, the eldest lady thinks that she is too sick and weak to walk at all.

So she turned her gaze to Beidou and asked carefully: "Is he your brother?" ”

Wen Qingzhu shook his head, looking at Beidou's eyes full of trust, and his tone was filled with sadness: "He is my only friend, if it weren't for him, I wouldn't have survived at all." ”

"It's not your brother." The eldest lady saw that the water was boiling, and hurriedly got up and said, "I'll go in and get you a water bowl." ”

Wen Qingzhu got up to see her off, and the eldest lady hurriedly helped her sit down.

After the eldest lady left, Wen Qingzhu looked in the direction of the northeast, his eyes were gentle, and he couldn't help but hum an ancient folk song softly.

Who boiled for a while, but the eldest lady never came out.

Wen Qingzhu didn't care, just continued to wait.

At this moment, a loud shout came from the side: "A-Niang! I am back! ”

Wen Qingzhu turned his head to look, and what he saw was a young man in a cyan jacket, with a whip in his hand and a fur hat, driving a herd of cattle and sheep to appear not far in front.

Soon, the teenager noticed her too.

Wen Qingzhu stood up, and the young man looked at her while driving the cattle and sheep into the pen.

As he walked, he suddenly stumbled and leaned on the back of an old sheep.

The frightened old sheep hurriedly ran forward, and the boy fell to the ground.

At this time, the eldest lady came out of the tent with a bowl, looked at this scene, and immediately shouted at the top of her voice: "You kid won't give me some work!" It's waiting for you to eat at home! ”

The young man hurriedly got up, blushed and bowed his head to drive the sheep.

The eldest lady walked to Wen Qingzhu's side, handed her the bowl, and said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, Daddy wasn't feeling well just now, so I delayed a bit." ”

Wen Qingzhu naturally heard that this was an excuse, so he immediately took the bowl, thanked the eldest lady, and turned his head to scoop the dandelion to drink.

After drinking the hot water boiled by dandelions, Wen Qingzhu's stomach felt much better.

She scooped another bowl and turned her head to hand it to Beidou: "You drink it too." ”

Beidou waved his hand, but Wen Qingzhu forcibly handed him the bowl, and then drank it.

The eldest mother and the young man came out of the circle, looking at their intimate appearance, the young man couldn't help asking: "Auntie, who is this girl and that big man?" What do they have to do with each other? ”

"They're passing through." The eldest mother explained, turned her head to look at her son, "What does their relationship have to do with you?" ”

The young man touched the back of his head: "Isn't it like I'm fifteen too!" It's time for my mother to introduce me to a daughter-in-law! This girl has beautiful eyes, I like it very much, A-Niang go and ask me to see what her situation is? ”

"!" As soon as the eldest mother thought of her father-in-law's words, she quickly pushed the boy into the tent.

Only then did she walk to Wen Qingzhu's side, and asked in a more and more careful tone: "If the girl doesn't dislike it, you can rest here, look at you, who is too weak, and has no cattle or horses, how many years and months do you have to go!" It's better to take care of your body first. ”

"Thank you, auntie, but I really don't have anything of value, and I don't know how to help you." Wen Qingzhu behaved like staying, but he didn't have anything, so it was really hard to stay.

The eldest lady waved her hand: "It's okay, just stay for one night, nothing will be wasted, it just so happens that we have to go north, and we will stop by the way." ”

Under the repeated invitation of the eldest mother, Wen Qingzhu finally agreed, but Wen Qingzhu insisted on helping with the work.

So she followed her aunt to collect firewood for cooking, and Beidou went to the cattle and sheep pen to help clean up the manure.

The cattle and sheep are okay, the horses are human, and ordinary people can't get close.

But Beidou unexpectedly got along with all the animals very well, which made the eldest mother very strange: "These horses in my family have strong temperaments, why are the little North brothers not alienated from them at all?" Did you ever breed horses? ”

Wen Qingzhu replied while helping to hand over the firewood: "It's not that he has raised it, but he has a lot of contact, although he can't speak, he gets along very well with animals." ”

After all, Beidou can live in the forest for more than ten years, and he can't see people, and all he sees every day are animals.

The eldest lady wanted to ask something, but when the words came to her lips, she still shut up. Qiqi Chinese Network

When eating, in addition to the uncle at home, the eldest mother and the teenager are extremely enthusiastic.

The young man even took two bowls of milk tea and asked Wen Qingzhu: "Little water girl, the left is goat milk tea, and the right is milk tea, you see what you like to drink, choose what!" ”

"It's better for you to drink, I have a bad stomach and can't drink goat's milk for the time being, thank you for your kindness." Wen Qingzhu stretched out his hand to refuse, his face full of apologies.

The young man was a little disappointed, turned his head to look at the charcoal-grilled mutton on the table, cut a leg, dipped it in chili powder and handed it to her: "Then you eat meat!" When I was sick, I got better faster eating meat. ”

Wen Qingzhu was overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of the young man, but he still had to bite the bullet and say: "I'm sick now, I have to eat less spicy and hot things, and I'll eat green vegetables." ”

The boy could only retract his hand, and the disappointment on his face was impossible to ignore.

At this time, the old man who had not spoken opened his mouth and asked, "Little Water Girl has studied medicine, right?" ”

"Ah...... Yes. Wen Qingzhu didn't expect the old man to speak, and he was stunned for a while before nodding.

The old man turned to the eldest lady and said, "Child, go and bring some millet from the bag and boil it for Xiaoshui to drink." ”

"I'll go, I'll go!" The boy quickly stood up, turned his head and ran.

The eldest lady was a little embarrassed, but she still followed.

Only Wen Qingzhu, Beidou, and the old man and father and son were left on the table.

I don't know if it's because of the old man, the uncle hasn't spoken, and eats meat with his head stuffy, and naturally Beidou is too.

As they ate, the two suddenly caught the same piece of meat.

Beidou looked up and hurriedly let go, the uncle snorted and took it with satisfaction.

Seeing his son like this, the old man turned his head and took a piece of the best tendon meat and handed it to Beidou: "Eat it." ”

Beidou is a solid eye, nodded at the old man in gratitude, and immediately ate it unceremoniously.

Seeing that the uncle was stunned and wanted to speak, he could only give up when he saw his father's appearance out of the corner of his eye.

Soon the eldest lady and the young man came out with a bowl of porridge, and Wen Qingzhu was a little overwhelmed.

She almost stood up, but she still calmed herself down, looked at the porridge in front of her and asked, "Uncle, how can you have millet?" ”

According to what she knew, the Huns were not completely uncultivated.

In a fixed place, they will also cultivate a kind of pale yellow millet that tastes very rough, instead of the milky white millet that is only available in the Central Plains in front of them.

"Sit down, I exchanged this millet for meat, you are not in good health, eat this quickly." After the uncle spoke, he began to eat by himself.

Wen Qingzhu couldn't say anything, so he had to eat slowly.

After eating, Wen Qingzhu found a sight on the other side that she really couldn't ignore.

Wen Qingzhu could have been ignored, but the character she was disguising now couldn't help it.

So she looked up: "Gianda, is there something wrong with me?" ”

The sudden question made the young man stunned, and he hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, no!" I just think you look good when you eat. ”

Wen Qingzhu didn't expect the young man to express his liking so quickly, but so bluntly.

This time, Wen Qingzhu was really red-faced.

Gianda's voice suddenly rose high: "You look better like this!" It's as beautiful as a sunset on the horizon! ”

"Shut up!" The eldest lady finally couldn't bear it anymore and slapped him on the shoulder.

At this time, the uncle asked: "Xiaoshui, you look not young, are you married?" ”

Wen Qingzhu hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Well, I'm married." ”

This answer seemed to be expected by the uncle, and he asked again: "Then is your husband still there?" ”

Wen Qingzhu lowered his eyebrows, this old man is really not easy to deal with.

However, she predetermined her identity in advance, and also made a good proof, raised her head and said, "He has been dead for some years." ”

The uncle nodded, and then didn't continue to ask.

Gianda asked: "Then you can remarry!" Do you have a husband now? ”

Wen Qingzhu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.

Gianda suddenly asked happily, "Then you can-"

"The two old sheep in the family are about to give birth, you go and take a look, so as not to have a problem." The uncle interrupted him lightly and pushed the young man away.

The next meal was eaten much faster, and Wen Qingzhu helped wash the dishes and clean them.

During this period, the eldest lady stopped, and her back hurt a little.

Looking at her appearance, Wen Qingzhu couldn't help asking, "How long has this situation lasted, Auntie?" ”

"It's been a few years, it's the situation left by Shenggianda, it's okay, I'll just endure it!" The eldest lady stood and rested for a while, and soon began to work again.

Wen Qingzhu didn't say anything, she almost understood the situation of this family.

The tent is not big, what is the situation inside, Wen Qingzhu does not plan to know.

Because for safety, she planned to sleep outside in a straw hut.

After cleaning up, Wen Qingzhu took the initiative to help the eldest lady to rest in the grass shed, and said to her at the same time: "I will order medical skills, if the eldest mother doesn't dislike it, I'll help you take a look." ”

"Really?" The eldest lady was very surprised.

Wen Qingzhu nodded, asked her to take out her wrist, and checked her pulse.

After careful examination, Wen Qingzhu found that she seemed to have blood congestion that was not smooth, coming from the abdominal cavity.

Looking down, that's where the baby was born.

Wen Qingzhu asked hesitantly: "What was the situation when the eldest lady gave birth to Jianda before?" ”
