"Gui Ying, what nonsense are you talking about? Still leading the way? Gao Ligong saw that his sister didn't have a ladylike demeanor at all, so he glared at her, and said to Li Guo: "Double happiness, let's help Hongji go in and rest!" ”

Gao Guiying stuck out her tongue, walked in front obediently, led the three of them through the hall, and went out through the back door, but entered a thatched house at the back, entered from the middle door, and turned into the wing room on the left.

If you add a large courtyard to the outside of these two houses, it becomes a two-in-three palace, but unfortunately the quality of the house is inferior, the earthen wall thatch, and the red wall glazed tiles of the big family, there is still a big difference.

The left wing room has been cleaned up, but the space is smaller, a wooden bed occupies almost sixty percent of the space, from the head of the bed behind a low wall, it should be a warehouse like a grocery warehouse, I don't know if there is food, in addition, it is a somewhat old low table, plus a few small wooden stools.

The quilt had been laid on the wooden bed, and the quilt was made of homespun cloth, with some morning glories printed on it, and Li Hongji could not stand or sit now, so he had to lie on the quilt.

"Big brother, what do you call this distinguished guest?" Gao Guiying saw that Li Hongji's clothes were dirty, and there were blood stains on the back of his pants, but he didn't dislike it, maybe he was used to seeing men's blood, "Why don't you take a shower first, and then change into dry clothes?" ”

"Ao, this is my brother in the county government, Li Hongji," Gao Ligong pointed at Li Guo again, "This is also my brother, double happiness," and then turned his gaze to Li Hongji, "Hongji, the second sister is right, take a bath, change clothes, it will be more comfortable!" ”

Li Hongji and Li Guo are uncles and nephews of their relatives, but they are friends and have their own friends, and Gao Ligong does not consider the matter of seniority.

"That'...... I'm going to boil water! Gao Guiying didn't wait for Li Hongji to answer, she had already turned around and walked out of the West Wing, and after a while, she came in with her waist twisting her waist again, "Big brother, I took your clothes, you are of similar shape, you should be able to fit." ”

Gao Ligong laughed and said: "Although Gui Ying is heroic, she is more careful than us men, let's go, double happiness, let's help Hongji take a bath." ”

Being praised by the eldest brother in front of strangers, Gao Guiying's face turned red, and she lowered her head unconsciously, and said in a low voice: "Big brother, you guys are busy first, I'll help my sister-in-law take a hand and get some food first!" ”

The bathroom is in the ear room behind the east wing, the space inside is relatively narrow, except for a round wooden barrel, there is only a wooden bench left to place clothes, Gao Ligong and Li Guo helped Li Hongji in, it was a little crowded.

Li Hongji stepped into the wooden barrel, the water temperature was just right, and his buttocks couldn't be focused, but with the buoyancy of the water, he could barely squat in the barrel. A lot of sweat and blood condensed on his body, and there were countless eggs in his hair.

Although he has an injury on his hips, his arms can move, and he doesn't need the help of others when he bathes in the barrel, but when he comes out, he still needs Gao Ligong and Li Guo to help him.

After soaking his buttocks in warm water, the calluses on the sores were soft, Li Guo helped with some gold sore medicine, and Gao Ligong sat down on the wooden stool at the head of the bed.

"Meritorious, for my sake, you lost your job, what are your plans in the future?" Li Hongji himself was born peacefully, and he couldn't help but worry about Gao Ligong, or rather, he felt a sense of guilt for Gao Ligong, and if he lost his job in rice fat, he would face the problem of survival, and Gao Ligong was a great favor to him.

Gao Ligong had already thought about it, he rescued Li Hongji, he would definitely not be able to go back to the yamen, and even the quiet valley of Hulushan would not be able to stay, if it was really not good, he would go to his uncle Gao Yingxiang, and he even wanted to persuade Li Hongji to go west together, but Gao Yingxiang is now a rebel and a thief in the eyes of the government, I don't know if Li Hongji can see it, "Take a step and watch a film, will the big living people suffocate their urine to death?" ”

"Second uncle, what are you doing? In the future, it seems that Li Jiazhan will not be able to go back. Li Guo is very arrogant, he doesn't have so many eyes, he is just worried about where the second uncle will go to beg for a life in the future.

"Let's heal the wound first!" Li Hongji walked suddenly, and although he thought about it along the way, he was not yet mature, so he was reluctant to talk about it deeply.

Gao Ligong had the intention to invite Li Hongjixi to go, but Li Hongji's hip injury had not healed, and he didn't know if it was appropriate to talk about this issue now, so he was hesitating, and suddenly heard a burst of voice outside: "Second sister, the food is so fragrant today, is there a guest at home?" ”

"This is my third brother, a merit," Gao Ligong said with a smile: "I've been idle all day, and I don't know where I got into any trouble again." ”

Li Hongji also smiled sideways, this high merit should be the wild child that the mountain people say, in the words of later generations, it is a bold type of person, this kind of person is generally easy to get along with, as long as he has the right appetite, he needs to recuperate in the Gao family for a period of time, and he must have a good relationship, "Meritorious, do we want to meet him?" ”

"Of course I want to see you," Gao Ligong nodded slowly, "Don't hide it from Hongji, this house belongs to my third brother, and the house in front is mine." ”

After listening to Gao Ligong's explanation, Li Hongji realized that the thatched hut he had entered earlier was Gao Ligong's, and the east and west wings were inhabited by Gao Ligong and his wife and Gao Guiying respectively, although there were still some spare houses, but most of them were firewood houses, warehouses and the like, which were not very suitable for living

And the three thatched huts in the back are a high achievement, he only lives in the east wing, because he is not married, and he is usually too lazy to cook, so he shares the stove with the eldest brother's family.

These two huts, located in the westernmost part of the valley, are also some distance away from the nearest houses, and appear quite secluded.

Li Hongji was still thinking about it, Gao Ligong had already called Gao Yigong into the West Wing, "Yigong, this is my brother Li Hongji in Yamen, his body is a little injured, and he needs to recuperate here for a while." ”

Li Hongji couldn't get up, so he had to lie on the bed and bow his hand to Gao Yigong: "Brother Yigong, it's inconvenient in the lower body, and I can't pay full courtesy, I'm afraid that I will be bothered for a while in the future." ”

Gao Yigong saw that Li Hongji had difficulty even getting up, and knew that he was not lightly injured, and thought that he had lost the fight, not only was he very angry, "Hongji is not polite, since he is the brother of the eldest brother, he can recuperate with peace of mind, but it is just the injury on your body - do you want me to get it back for you?" ”

Li Hongji was happy in his heart, he was really a brave and ruthless man, he turned his face sideways, and carefully looked at Gao Yigong, slightly shorter than Gao Ligong, but more strong, dark skin, and a few pimples on the left side of his face, I don't know if it was a pimple or a scar, maybe it was when it came to fighting, his eyes were more excited, and they were shining!

Gao Ligong's face sank, and he said, "What else will you do besides fighting?" He pointed to Li and said, "This is double happiness, and it is also my brother!" ”

Li Aidao felt that Gao Yigong was particularly delicious, "Brother Yigong is fast and fast-talking, he should be the hero of Hulushan, right?" ”

"Well said!" Gao Yigong was reprimanded by the eldest brother, and he didn't care, but he hugged his fist at Li Guo and laughed, but seeing that the eldest brother didn't seem to want to see him, he hurriedly withdrew from the West Wing and read in his mouth: "It turns out that there are so many distinguished guests, no wonder the food at home is fragrant and straight into the nostrils, you go on, I'll go and see what the second sister has cooked!" ”

Gao Ligong shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Such a big person, he still looks like a child!" ”

Li Hongji said: "Brother Yigong is a bold person. ”

Gao Ligong smiled, pointed at Li Hongji with his hand and said: "Hongji doesn't know his character, if you live here, you must not be bothered by him, and if you can not get bored, it is your creation." ”

Li Hongji didn't care, and turned over on the bed, "There is no need to say this for meritorious service, Yigong is a refreshing person, he should not be bored, occupying his house, how can he be bored of the master?" ”

Gao Guiying happened to come over to urge everyone to go to dinner, and when she saw Li Hongji's ruddy color behind the bath, she couldn't help but take a look at it, knowing that he couldn't get up, so she said to Gao Ligong: "Big brother go to eat first, and I'll send dinner to big brother Hongji later!" ”

Gao Ligong bowed his hand to Li Hongji, and led Li to the front hall, but Gao Guiying fell behind.

Because Li Hongji was still lying on the bed, Gao Ligong didn't plan to forcibly pour wine on Li Guo, and ate a few cups hastily, wanting to end the game, but Gao Yigong didn't follow, "Big brother, it's rare for the second sister to cook these good dishes, wouldn't it be a waste if you don't drink a few cups?" Besides, isn't Double Happiness also a guest of Big Brother? If you have something, I should accompany you for a few drinks, how can you snub the guests? ”

Gao Ligong didn't say anything in front of Li Guo, so he only ordered: "Shuangxi has just arrived, and there is still something to do, don't drink too much, don't pour wine!" Gao Guiying also had a little bit of alcohol, so when she heard this, she stopped drinking, but put down the bamboo chopsticks in her hand, "Big brother, third brother, double happiness, you drink first, I'll send food to Hongji!" ”

When there are guests at home, the man naturally has to accompany the guests to drink and have fun, and the rest of the laundry, cooking, taking care of the guests and other small things are naturally women's business, and the Gao Ligong brothers are not surprised, especially Gao Yigong, there is just one less person on the table who is competing with him for wine, and he still can't wait for it!

Gao Guiying took another pair of clean bowls, took two white-flour steamed buns, sandwiched all kinds of dishes, and sent them to the west wing room behind.

Li Hongji was hungry in his belly, and when he saw Gao Guiying bringing food, he suddenly had a great appetite, he lay on the bed and arched his hand to Gui Ying, and said gratefully: "Thank you Guiying girl!" ”

Gao Guiying turned her face and smiled, "We people in the mountains are not polite, so you can just treat this place as your own home!" He took a wooden stool and placed the food next to Li Hongji's bed.

Li Hongji turned around and lay across the bed, still lying on his stomach, but he poked his head out of the bed, just facing the food, stretched out a hand, picked up the bamboo chopsticks, and was about to pick up some dishes.

Gao Guiying saw that he was struggling to move, hesitated for a while, and finally stepped forward, "Hongji, since your body is inconvenient, don't be reluctant, let me come!" He actually picked up the vegetable bowl and snatched the bamboo chopsticks in Li Hongji's hand, and his eyes were cast on Li Hongji's face without any sluggishness, and there was no distraction.
