Loujiazhuang.

"Wow, four hours, four hours, it's like taking a novice bus!"

After nearly four hours of travel, Shi Zhongtai and his party finally walked to Loujiazhuang, a small place that didn't seem to be very backward.

"Childe, it's noon, not four hours, it's two hours."

Da Niu is like a supervisor around him, always correcting every little mistake of Shi Zhongtai, of course, only within the scope of his own knowledge, if he is asked to help Shi Zhongtai think of articles and poems, etc., it is estimated that Da Niu will cry with a headache.

"Well, two hours, two hours."

Shi Zhongtai got out of the car and moved his legs and feet, and he didn't have time to talk to Da Niu about the calculation of time.

"Son, drink some water."

"I'm just a little thirsty." Taking the water bag handed over by Mao Si, Shizhong Tai specially leaned his neck and drank it, without letting the seal touch his mouth. "Here, you two can have a drink too."

Ignoring the small noisy big cow and cat four, Shi Zhongtai stood at the entrance of the village and looked at the village. It is said that it is a village, but it is not, because this is a Zhuangzi, I heard Mao Si say that the surname of the building in the Zhuangzi accounts for the vast majority, and the rest are either married girls or sons-in-law who come to the door, and there are few outsiders.

Aside from the debris on the side of the road and the fields separated by each other, just look at the house of Zhuangzi, which is still neatly furnished, from a distant position, the whole Zhuangzi is boxy, like a pavilion layer by layer, very shaped. Zhuangzi is surrounded by farmland, the houses are more than two feet wide, the road is wide, and the dirt roads in the countryside are not as good as the bluestone bricks in the city, so these are no longer entangled.

There are five large poplar trees planted outside the Zhuangzikou, standing side by side at the outermost part of the Zhuangkou, looking burly and extraordinary. At this time, there were three or three old men sitting on the stone grinding plate under the poplar tree, who were looking at Shi Zhongtai and the three of them curiously, and did not come forward to ask anything or anything.

"How many sips have you had, and you haven't had enough?"

"Why, I'm thirsty and can't let me drink water?"

Mao Si held the water bag and didn't let go, looking like he would rather die than give it to the big cow. The big cow was pulling on the side, and after pulling for a while, he saw that the water bag was almost drunk, and then he let go and took another one out of the carriage, and drank it with taste.

"Hiccup..."

Depressed, he couldn't help but burp in his mouth, and the cat pointed at the big cow and said angrily, "Okay, you foolish cow, you obviously still have a water bag, and you just came to get this, obviously just let me irrigate it, right?" ”

Da Niu pursed his lips with an attitude that it was none of my business.

"Han Niu is looking for a fight!"

"Cat Four"

Looking at Da Niu fiercely, Mao Si clenched his fists and turned into fingers, "This time, for the sake of the prince, I will spare you first, if there is a next time, I will see how I clean you up." ”

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

It's okay if the big cow doesn't say it, but when he talks so cheaply, the cat who was finally able to contain it is angry again.

"You two can do it!"

Shi Zhongtai didn't want to put on a play for others before he entered the village, if this was spread, his face would be lost, and it would be over if he was taken a copy by those stunned officials.

"Cat Four, go over and inquire about the location of the little lady's house, let's do well..."

"I don't know what happened to a few people coming to our Loujiazhuang?"

Turning around, Shi Zhongtai saw a gray-bearded old man looking at him, followed by a few children with bigger farts. Knowing that it was the children's letter, the corners of his mouth raised a warm smile, and he arched his hand to the old man.

"I don't know who the elder is?"

The old man was very satisfied with Shi Zhongtai's etiquette, and stroked his beard and said, "Well, the old man is the village chief of this Loujiazhuang, and he is also the thirty-eighth generation patriarch of the Lou family, Lou Shangde." ”

"It's the juniors who are rude, the juniors are from Kyoto." Shi Zhongtai first bowed out, and then slowly said his meaning, "The old lady in the family is old and frail, and when she is not feeling well, there are always little servants in the family who go out to buy porridge and cakes to eat, but it can also alleviate one or two." In the past few days, the old lady wanted to eat the porridge cake again, and the little girl went out several times and said that she didn't see the stall owner, and the old lady was angry and sick, and the doctor felt the pulse and said that it was a heart disease, which could only round the old lady's heart. There is no way, as a son of man, the old lady is sick on the couch, and she can only go this way. ”

Obviously, he came to find a beautiful girl by himself, but he didn't want to be said to be a filial son. Fortunately, Taiti in the division had already told Da Niu, otherwise the first person to jump out and dismantle the stage at this time was Da Niu.

Filial piety comes first.

Sure enough, Shi Zhongtai's trick was very effective, and when the old man heard him say this, the vigilance in his eyes suddenly disappeared, and was replaced by a full sense of relief. "It turns out that the master came for his mother, but there are many people in our village who make porridge cakes, I don't know which one the son is looking for?"

If I go, it will still be the inheritance of my ancestors!

Shi Zhongtai didn't expect this kind of situation where everyone is the number one, but fortunately, he had been alone with Yuan Yixue before, and he also knew some of her situation, so he pretended to try his best to remember and explained, "Remember, the stall owner seems to be a woman, and he seems to be a widow, right? ”

Mao Si was also clever, and immediately walked in front of Shi Zhongtai in a small step, and definitely whispered so that the old man could hear it, "What the prince said is right, that woman is a widow, and the little one also heard the official call her Lou Yuan." ”

"Lou Yuan's?" Lou Shangde half-stroked his beard and read silently, always feeling that the name was very familiar but couldn't remember whose family it was. The child next to him had a good memory, biting his fingers and blinking his beautiful eyes, and whispered, "The man who died, isn't it Aunt Yuan of the third grandmother's family?" ”

As soon as he reminded Lou Shangde, he thought of the person Shi Zhongtai was looking for, "Yes, yes, Haiwa is right, what you are looking for should be the son of the Afu family, she was married from Shuiyue Village on the edge of Kyoto, and only she will go there to make porridge cakes." ”

Listening to the old man talk about Shuiyue Village, Shi Zhongtai knew that the person had found it, although he was excited in his heart, he was still a little uncertain on his face, "I hope so, otherwise I have to continue to look for it." ”

"It must be, it must be, the woman in the village is surnamed Yuan, she is the only one, how can the old man be wrong." Lou Shangde said again with affirmation, and specially pointed to a road in the southeast corner, "No, that's the Afu family, which is one of the largest families in our Zhuangzi." ”

Fortunately, Shi Zhongtai's painstaking performance was not in vain, and he deceived the patriarch of the building with a smile and filial piety, and the old man also specially asked the child to lead the way for the three of Shi Zhongtai, which saved a lot of trouble.

"Okay, this is the third grandmother's home."

A few babies ran in front, and the three of Shi Zhongtai followed, and when they arrived, the baby named Haiwa stopped at the door of a big mansion.

"Your name is Haiwa, aren't you? Here, give these candies to your friends. ”

Bent down and stroked Haiwa's head, seeing that he was still shaking his nose, he couldn't hold back his joy for a while, and handed over the candy that had been prepared in his hand by the way.

"Let's go, there's candy to eat."

"Oh, there's candy to eat."
