Chapter 3 Farewell
It was already dark, and Wu Yue Aya came here, and it had been a month. She shrunk under the covers, using a tactical flashlight to illuminate the dilapidated corner of the wall in front of her, and the whole person was stunned.
She's actually poking the exit button on the game's interface, and she's been trying to get out of here for days, because it's been a month, and there's been more than six straight letters carved into the walls.
She can be regarded as having come into contact with some things in the Gu family, not to mention the shopkeeper who frowns and ponders all the time, and worries about the business accounts every day. The business operated by the Gu family includes eating, drinking, living and traveling, and eating all kinds of daily necessities, among which Wu Yueya cares most about rice, after all, she is used to eating rice, and the price of rice is reasonable, sixteen wen a bucket, about nine catties. In terms of drinking, she understood when she was doing chores in the wine store, a green alcoholic drink was very popular with customers, and it seemed to be called green ants by some readers. The combination of living and eating and drinking, staying in a hotel or eating is left to the guests to choose or both, which can be regarded as convenient.
In addition to buying and selling some fabrics, the Gu family will also sell all kinds of horses, including vehicles. As for some strong men and women who sell their bodies, she also has some contact, they are all poor families, there is no way out, they can only sell themselves as servants and maids, and the government is inevitably indispensable in the middle.
Wu Yueya was secretly glad that there was a Lu family to help her, otherwise she could only sell herself into slavery like these people, but every time she saw the desperate look in the eyes of these people, she also felt pity in her heart, which was not very good.
After confirming that she couldn't go back again, Wu Yueya no longer continued to press the exit button, but thought about such a society, where ordinary people basically have no way to live, so where should she go.
With confusion, I fell asleep in tiredness, and it was a new day, the autumn morning was cold, and the morning breeze made people cold. Washing your face with cold water, chewing wicker and brushing your teeth, this kind of life has become accustomed to it.
Holding a wooden basin and picking the golden chrysanthemums in the small fence at the door, the sun rises as usual. There is no need to go into the city today, doing things in the Gu family, and being able to rest for five or six days a month is an order given by Gu Renyi to the shopkeeper, which can be regarded as special care.
So Wu Yueya can steal half a day of leisure, pick chrysanthemums, and then go to the well to draw some water and soak the chrysanthemums. I sat on the stone and looked at the autumn sun in the sky, enjoying the leisurely life of the farmer.
After a while, sprinkle some coarse salt in a wooden basin that has changed the water, wash the chrysanthemums, put them in a jar, and seal them.
Lu Feng came to Wu Yueya with a homemade wooden bow on his back and smiled, "How about accompanying me into the mountain?" β
Looking at the arrow basket on Lu Ziji's waist, he knew that he was going hunting, and he was fine anyway, so he nodded and agreed.
All the way up the mountain, to the forest, Wu Yueya looked at the beautiful scenery of the mountains, a little fascinated, the depression in her heart was also swept away, living here can be regarded as free, suddenly realized that it is not a good thing to cross over.
The two of them walked in the forest, and the ground was already full of fallen leaves, and when they stepped on it, it would be soft and crunchy. The breeze blew in the mountains, and I asked about the smell of goat's peach.
"The wind is blowing in this direction, and there are wild fruits in front of it, let's go, let's go pick wild fruits and eat them." Lu Ziji sniffed with his nose, happily took Wu Yueyan's hand, and walked forward.
Wu Yueya felt that her hand was grabbed, struggled for a while, and finally broke free completely, ran forward quickly, overtook Lu Feng's figure, came to a big tree, and looked up at the goat peaches that were full of trees on the tree.
Lu Feng didn't mind that the other party broke free of his hand, but he felt that holding the other party so abruptly was indeed a bit excessive for him as a decent gentleman.
Coming to the tree, Lu Feng looked at Wu Yue's petite back, sighed quietly, picked up a few goat peaches from the ground that had not been broken, and handed them to Wu Yueya.
Taking the goat peach, Wu Yueya took it in front of her nose and smelled it, this small wild fruit emitted a drunken aroma of wine, pinched and soft, peeled off the skin and swallowed it in one bite, and her mouth was full of sweet taste.
At this time, Lu Ziji climbed to the tree in twos and threes, sat among the branches, picked goat peaches, and threw them down. Wu Yueya continued below, and occasionally those who couldn't catch it would roll out of a distance, or some would break.
Playing like this, Wu Yueya also laughed, as if returning to the moment of childhood, and went up the mountain with her friends to hunt wild chestnuts and pick goat peaches.
Just when Lu Ziji picked the last goat peach on a branch, he suddenly made a silent gesture to Wu Yueya under the tree. He bent his bow and drew an arrow, and a wooden arrow flew out, striking a large gray hare that smelled the fragrance and foraged for food.
Wu Yueya looked in the direction where the wooden arrow flew out, this distance was about a hundred meters, and it was hit with one arrow, it seems that this Lu Ziji still has some ability, looking back at Lu Ziji who was sitting proudly on the tree, clapping his hands again and again, and then stretching out his thumb to praise after clapping.
Lu Feng smiled, fell down the tree, and ran to pick up the big hare, "I have rabbit soup to drink tonight!" In the past, I often came here to dig a small trap, sometimes I can still catch some game, since the practice of martial arts, more use of bows and arrows to hunt, I remember that Ah Mei only learned words with me at that time, the progress is very fast, and later I also read some poetry books, and I can write a whole poem silently, hey, you remember when you were young! β
Wu Yueya looked at Lu Ziji, who sighed, patted him on the shoulder, and then gestured randomly, regardless of whether the other party could understand it or not, anyway, I mean that people always have to grow up, and it's not bad to grow up.
Lu Feng smiled happily, grabbed the rabbit, and walked back with Ah Mei.
Back in the village, the sun had just reached half the sky, Wu Yueya fetched water to boil water, and Lu Ziji began to peel and remove hair. Mother Lu sat on the small couch at the door, watching the two young figures busy with each other, her old eyes were full of relief, and occasionally looked up to the sky, nodding with a smile.
Put the rabbit into the pot and stew, Wu Yue Aya added firewood while enduring the green smoke. A pair of watery eyes were smoked with tears, don't look around, and see Lu Feng fiddling with a few jars and a basin of washed rice.
Walking forward, looking at the red cake on the table, I picked it up curiously and smelled it, but I smelled a smell of wine, could it be that this is koji.
"What? Sister Yue Aya wants to taste the taste of wine koji cake, and she will get drunk for a while when she takes a bite. Lu Feng laughed as he poured water into the jar.
Wu Yueya rolled her eyes, but her eyes were ruddy, and she looked pitiful. Lu Feng blew on Wu Yueya's tearful eyes, but was dodged by Wu Yueya.
Wu Yueya returned to the stove and continued to burn the fire, saying in her heart that this was a rice brewing bar, although she had never seen how to make wine, but she had drunk it. Wu Yueya, who was looking at the flames in a daze, heard Lu Feng's joyful voice.
"This wine is brewed when you go, and you drink it again when you return, it must be good wine! When the time comes, this will be my wind and dust, plus celebration wine! β
Wu Yueya didn't think so, look at your sassy appearance, it's not easy to go to Chang'an in autumn and summer, maybe I will steal all this wine for you, and I won't keep a drop of you.
Help dig a pit in the back of the house, bury the wine jar in it, and after doing this, the sun is about to set, and the family of three sits on the collapse and eats rabbit meat, which can be regarded as a happy time. Lu's mother also gave the rabbit leg in her bowl to Wu Yueya, Lu Feng saw it in her eyes, and gave the rabbit leg in her bowl to Lu's mother, Wu Yueya looked at the two mothers and sons, and her heart was slightly warm. is alone, but when he encounters such a person, if he is not a man, maybe he will be married if he is soft-hearted.
Wu Yueya returned to her nest, chewed the wicker and sighed for a while, the kindness of the Lu family can only be reported later, sleeping with her head covered, one night passes, and the second day comes.
After Wu Yueya helped Lu Feng deal with some housework, she went to Jingzhou City after lunch, entered the city gate, went to Nanfang, walked through a few lanes, and noticed that someone was following behind her, so she looked back, only to see a shirt fluttering around the corner.
After stopping for a while, someone also looked over and was hit by Wu Yueya. The man was a man, and when he saw the other party looking at him, he quickly fled.
Wu Yueya pondered for a while, and she didn't know who was so boring, so she played with her and stalked, stopped for the time being, and continued to walk towards the market.
When she came to Fang City, she walked into a cloth shop, the shopkeeper was rubbing his forehead at the counter and calculating the account, as if he found someone approaching, raised his eyes and saw that it was Wu Yueya, so he said, "Hurry up, help me calculate this account, I always feel that there is something wrong." β
Wu Yueya couldn't speak, nodded, picked up the account book, looked at it a few times, then picked up the brush, wrote and painted for a while, and handed the account book to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper looked at the accounts, and then took a closer look, "Oh, there is a little lady with the moon, and I have saved a lot of worry about the old man, a strange woman like you is rare in the world!" β
Wu Yueya smiled and nodded, looking at this old man who liked to frown, she smiled and enjoyed it for a rare time.
Then I calculated a few accounts again, for Wu Yueya, these things are very simple, as long as the conversion of currency is remembered, the simple addition, subtraction and multiplication except the XX equation is added, and it is done in an instant, if necessary, you can also get a statistical table, and the situation of some accounts will be clear.
After finishing the account book, Wu Yueya said goodbye to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper sat on the couch, looking at the accounts one by one, and the son sitting opposite him was sitting precariously, and he also looked at the paper that Wu Yueya had drafted.
"Aya, do you think this is too wasteful, a piece of paper costs three pennies, she used more than a dozen pieces of paper to write, even if it is an account, what are the drawings?" Fang Rui looked at the above frame and tables, as well as some incomprehensible XX, and the numbers were horizontal, and he couldn't figure out the results for a while.
"What do you know, if you have the ability of your father, and the ability of the little lady of Yueya, I would have recommended you to Gu Gong a long time ago, don't hurry up and take a look at learning, don't always think about riding a donkey and bowing, and give Lao Tzu some luck! You're not even a woman now! The shopkeeper turned red with anger and reprimanded.
"Got it, Father!" Fang Rui lowered his head, looking like he had said the wrong thing and admitted his mistake.
Wu Yueya walked briskly on the streets, now to go out of the city, there is still enough time, otherwise when the drum sounds, you won't be able to get out of the city.
At this moment, the street where pedestrians came and went suddenly became commotion, and Wu Yueya was a little puzzled, what was the situation. She looked towards the front of the commotion, and many people were avoiding the side, as if they were hiding from something, and at the same time, she was alert and followed the crowd to the side.
In the middle of the road walked a group of spirited people, tall, short, fat and thin, with a stick of grass in their mouths, looking like they were looking at all directions. Wu Yueya can see it, this is probably the underworld in Jingzhou City, and this kind of scum is really not lacking in any era. She skirted the crowd and walked through a remote alley, continuing in the direction of the city gate.
"Second Master Cui, look at you, she took that road, that road, hehe." In the restaurant on the street, a ruffian with his head bowed excitedly pointed to the alley where Wu Yueya was walking.
"Well, let's go, it's time to tease our little lady, hahahaha!" Cui Miao, who was shaking the fan, also smiled happily, following the other party for so long, and after finding out the other party's habits, he finally seized the opportunity and walked downstairs quickly.
The ruffian followed Cui Miao's side, bending over and smiling flatteringly, "Second Master Cui, the children's hard work..."
Cui Miao glanced at Li Si, smiled with satisfaction, and threw away a bag of money, "Li Si, take it to eat and drink!" β
"Hey, thank you, Lord Cui, for the reward."
"Well, don't you send someone to stop her!"
"Yes, yes, I'm going!"
Wu Yueya walked quickly in the alley, just out of the alley, but there was a person walking in front of her, this person with a ruffian, after glancing at Wu Yueya's face, the whole body trembled, his feet slipped, and he sat on the ground.
"You, you, you, you..." This person is Zhang Mule, at this time his teeth are swinging, the whole person is paralyzed on the ground, and he even spits out a few words of you and stuck his throat and can't speak.
Wu Yueya felt strange, who is this guy? After recalling it carefully, I remembered that when I first arrived in Shili Village, the man who was sneaky with a short stick, wasn't it this guy?
"Are youβAre you a human or a ghost? Zhang Mule kept moving back, looking extremely panicked, and under the pressure of Wu Yueya step by step, he finally rolled his eyes and fainted.
Wu Yueya was puzzled, what did he mean by this, and asked me if I was a human or a ghost? Without thinking about it, several figures had already blocked the way in front of Wu Yueya, and it was a few ruffians on Naha Road.
Looking at this group of fearless guys, I also understood in my heart that this was clearly here to block her, but it should have nothing to do with the guy who was stunned by herself in front of her.
"Ouch, ouch, little lady, come to play with Lang Jun, drink and eat, and spend the Spring Festival together!" At this time, a flirtatious voice sounded from the side, it was Cui Miao, the second lang of the Cui family who came out of the ruffian, shaking the paper fan at the moment, looking personable, but the dirty eyes were always scanning Wu Yueya's whole body.
Wu Yueya frowned, opened her mouth, and didn't scold, only then did she remember that she was a mute, and frowned at Cui Miao, who walked in towards her step by step, she also stepped back step by step, turning her head from time to time to look at the fork in the road behind her.
"Little lady, don't run, let Lang Jun take a good look at you!"
Cui Miao approached faster, and seemed to be very impatient, Wu Yueya was silent, and after quietly making up her mind, she also walked forward, her eyes swept Cui Miao's crotch fiercely.
"Oh, little lady... Yes!!! β
Cui Miao pounced directly, but before he finished speaking, and his hand didn't touch Wu Yueya, he was kicked in the crotch of his pants fiercely. With a miserable scream, Cui Miao fell to the ground and screamed bitterly, and those ruffians who flattered Cui Miao exploded instantly, they didn't expect which woman who was bullied would be so fierce.
Wu Yueya ran away, turned the fork in the road, and the vicious ruffians behind her chased after her, and even chased after her with wooden sticks.
Wu Yueya herself is a woman, and she can't outrun these ruffians who are idle all day long, and she is about to catch up, but there is a woman with a big box next to her who is walking out casually.
The woman was holding a flask and drinking with her head up, her face was drunk, and she looked heroic in men's clothes. Only then did he finish drinking, but he saw the thugs in the market chasing a weak woman, his eyes widened, he strode out, making a noise step by step, and his body moved past Wu Yueya, and attacked the group of ruffians behind him.
Wu Yueya didn't have time to turn back, she heard a wail from behind, her hand was released from the left wheel on her waist, and when she turned her head, she saw a gangster lying on the ground, and the woman was still drinking, turned her back and walked forward, and didn't seem to care about helping Wu Yueya out of the siege. Wu Yueya chased after her, blocked in front of this woman, danced for a while, and wanted to express her gratitude, but people couldn't understand it, and she was a little tired, waved her hand, and left.
Wu Yueya saw that the other party was far away, and she couldn't stay, so she wrote down today's events and went to the city gate. When I returned to Lu's house, I thought about it, but I still didn't tell Lu Ziji about it, in case something happened and it hurt others, I could solve it myself, after all, she had a warehouse of weapons.
In a few days, it will be the day when Lu Ziji and Gu Renyi set off, go to Beijing to catch the spring exam, first take the dry road and then the waterway, and then turn the dry road to get to the prosperous Chang'an City.
It is said that the mother of the child is worried, although Wu Yueya is watching from the sidelines this time, this eternal sentiment is still dripping in her heart.
When Lu Ziji changed into new clothes, rode on a horse, put a horizontal knife on his back, and led the horse with Gu Renyi to say goodbye to Lu's mother. Lu's mother was originally a person with a strong personality, and when she saw that her son was going to leave home, she couldn't help but cry on the spot, causing Lu Ziji to kneel and hold Lu's mother's hand and cry.
Lu Ziji led the horse to Jingzhou City, walked a few steps back to the end, and beckoned. Wu Yueya helplessly helped Lu's mother until she was sent to the other party to the official road, Lu Feng's figure disappeared on the long official road, and Lu's mother was willing to go back.
This time, the Lu family did feel a lot more deserted, and Lu's mother was also haggard and sat on the couch against the wall, looking melancholy, Wu Yueya had no choice but to wet her chopsticks, write some comforting words on the linen skirt, and hand them to Lu's mother. Mother Lu looked at Wu Yueya with a smile, touched Wu Yueya's head, hugged Wu Yueya in her arms, and cried loudly.
"Ziji will definitely have a future, I believe that my son will definitely achieve a lot of fame, I also have such a good daughter-in-law, even if I die, it's worth it!"
Wu Yueya listened to Lu's mother crying embarrassedly, her face was slightly red, and she said in her heart, can you not be excited, wait for the old man to cry and get tired, wait for Lu's mother to wash up, let her old man go to bed, and then return to his home.
Wu Yueya turned on the tactical flashlight, and said in her heart that she had completely become someone's daughter-in-law this time, and when she thought of this, her face turned red again, and she didn't exist to become someone else's daughter-in-law or something! In this world, she is more interested in martial arts, if she can learn a peerless martial arts, it will not be in vain to come here, and she then remembered the heroic posture during the day. With a fantasy, Wu Yueya fell asleep in Tang Meng.
The night wind is sorrowful, the mountains and fields are cold, and there is no post station in the official road, Lu Feng put his reluctance in his heart, slept with Gu Renyi, wrapped in a quilt together, slept in the wild shed, and his dream was full of the usual figure of his mother and Yue Aya's sister.
