Chapter Seventy-Seven: Xu Dongsheng's Tears
If you give a piece of raw meat to a hungry person, he will say that it is cooked and eat it immediately. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The wheat is still rolled whole in the soup pot, and eating such a thing in an empty stomach will make people sick.
When the wheat is finally boiled into porridge, the scene in the valley is strange.
More than 10,000 people lined up quietly in front of the soup pot, no one made a sound, even the baby in swaddling clothes, holding his mother's shriveled breast and no longer crying, he seemed to know that there was food to eat soon.
In this moment, food rules the nerves of all.
The porridge is very thick, and although it looks a little ugly, at this time, a large spoonful of wheat porridge with salt can save a life.
Xu Dongsheng was surprisingly quiet today, personally holding a spoon to serve porridge to the homeless people, and Tie Xinyuan stood behind him with a half-eaten cake and watched him work.
A dark, thin woman looked at Xu Dongsheng with pleading eyes, hoping that he would fill her bowl with more wheat porridge.
A thin child who had just walked was holding the woman's legs, and in her arms was a thin child with only a big head left.
Xu Dongsheng sniffled, took a basin the size of a human head from the edge of the cauldron, filled a pot of porridge in it and served it to the woman.
Seeing that the child holding the woman's leg was obsessively looking at the half cake in Tie Xinyuan's hand, he turned around and took the cake from Tie Xinyuan's hand and stuffed it to the child.
The woman was grateful for holding a pot of porridge and left, but she didn't dare to go far, so she stayed not far from the cauldron, not caring how hot the porridge was, so she hurriedly took a sip, and when the temperature was a little lower, she gave it to the child in her arms.
Xu Dongsheng didn't know which tendon was wrong, and when he saw that the family of three was thinly dressed, he actually took the fur fur he hung on the shelf and threw it to the family of three.
The woman's expression was frightened, and she looked at the wheat porridge in her hand, and then at the fur fur beside her, God knows what she was thinking.
Tie Xinyuan soon discovered that whenever a single woman brought her children to receive wheat porridge, he would always give them a little more.
Watching a group of poor people eat is a very boring thing, Ga Ga and Yu Chiwen lit a bonfire behind a big stone, Tie Xinyuan was leisurely drinking tea on the edge of the bonfire, and he ate a stomach of cakes just now, very thirsty.
If you have done everything you can do, there is no need to pretend to be a bitter gourd face to block others and do good deeds, now is the time to enjoy a good mood.
The full pot of porridge was quickly divided, Xu Dongsheng added wheat to the cauldron again, and found a stronger farmer who had just eaten to cook the porridge instead of him, and the woman with two children just now squatted under the pot very consciously to make a fire.
Tie Xinyuan looked at Xu Dongsheng, whose face was covered with soot, and smiled: "It's amazing to me that doing good deeds can bring tears to the tears you do." ”
Xu Dongsheng did not hide the fact that he had just shed tears, poured himself a cup of tea and sipped it slowly.
After drinking a cup of tea, he said to Tie Xinyuan: "This thing is very beautiful, and Xu Dongsheng's life will be sold to you in the future." ”
Tie Xinyuan was not surprised by Xu Dongsheng saying this, just now he found that Xu Dongsheng was shaking his body like sifting chaff while distributing wheat porridge, although he didn't know what it was for, he was touched in his heart for a certain amount.
It's just that I didn't expect him to be loyal to himself at this moment.
Xu Dongsheng saw that Tie Xinyuan's eyes were full of inquiry, and sighed and pointed to the woman who burned the fire: "When there was a great drought in Jingzhao Mansion, there was starvation everywhere, my mother and my father were separated, and I took our brothers to wander on the drought plateau for half a year.
When my father found our mother and son, he only wanted me, not my mother, and it seemed to him that my mother must have been very dishonorable in surviving among the homeless people......"
Tie Xinyuan muttered; "It's too much......"
Xu Dongsheng wiped a handful of tears and continued: "My mother pushed me to my father, turned around and jumped off the cliff...... I didn't die, I had two broken legs, and my father believed that my mother hadn't done anything to be sorry for him, and I was just eight years old at the time!
Since then, I have sworn that I must not be poor in this life, as long as I am poor, there will be a lot of fucking crazy things, and sometimes, poverty is worse than death! ”
Tie Xinyuan frowned and said, "I empathize with my aunt's matter, but you can't use my aunt as an excuse to ask me for the gold you have stored in Qingxiang Valley!" It's shameless to do so. ”
Xu Dongsheng was so surprised that he didn't even know that the teacup in his hand fell to the ground, and his eyes widened and said, "Lao Tzu seems to be telling you just now that he is going to give you his life!" ”
"It's a matter of course that you give me your life, if you don't sell it to me, who will you sell it to? I only heard that you just used the poor homeless people as the background, and then took your own miserable family affairs as the content, and finally mentioned that you were unwilling to live a poor life, and these contents were slightly integrated, which is the best excuse to ask me to ask for your gold stored in Qingxiang Valley.
The content is informative, the plot is full, the process is complaining, I have no reason to refuse, let you succeed once, and when you go back, I will go to Tieyi to claim your gold! ”
Xu Dongsheng's body trembled again, and he held back his anger and said: "Lao Tzu was greedy for money once, and he was laughed at by you until now?" ”
Tie Xinyuan laughed and said: "I plan to talk about this for the rest of my life, haha, it's so funny to think about it, for the sake of that gold, you Lao Xu first fought with the wild men in the Nameless Valley, and killed all the wild people who came to rob you of your gold, and then, you came to a flesh-and-blood battle with horse thieves dozens of times our size in the sandstone mountain for gold."
Then for the sake of gold, you deceived the wise king Musin at all costs, and then for the sake of gold, you fled in a hurry in the black storm, and even such a natural disaster could not make you give up gold, and in the end, it was for the sake of gold, all the brothers you brought with you died, and you were caught by others and lived in a stone cave as a slave for half a year......
God, I've never seen anyone in this world who has a heart for gold more than you.
Therefore, as soon as you speak, no matter how complaining, I will always have a pile of gold in my head! ”
Xu Dongsheng's angry heart slowly became calm with Tie Xinyuan's words one by one, one by one, and finally said helplessly: "What I said is true." ”
Tie Xinyuan looked at Xu Dongsheng and said with a smile: "Of course I know that what you said is true, get rid of the nonsense about gold in the back, what I said is also true, you should have said these words just now, I have been waiting for those words for a long time." ”
Xu Dongsheng poured himself a cup of tea again with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Don't laugh at me about this in the future!" ”
Tie Xinyuan raised the teacup and toasted Xu Dongsheng with a cup of tea, then got up and went to inspect the valley with Xu Dongsheng.
Abundant supplies are constantly being transported out of Xijing City, which makes the hearts of the displaced people a lot more settled.
Tents, thick clothes, food, and a few rudimentary tools that the displaced people of the valley could survive this difficult winter.
More than a hundred horse thieves who first followed Tie Xinyuan to rob the caravan are now hot people for the outcasts.
While directing the well-fed homeless people to set up tents and collect firewood, they will intentionally or unconsciously mention the endless plains and fertile land by the lake under the snowy mountains.
"The land there is white for the first three years, and all the grain harvested belongs to them, and only one percent of the grain is harvested after three years, and it is still a white seed, and you can plow dozens of acres of land in a day with a horse-drawn hoe, plant dozens of acres of land, and take out the harvest of a few acres to pay taxes, which is no different from white seeds."
A horse thief had a nail in his mouth, and while driving a nail into a thick wooden board, he stammered and chatted with the Han people around him in Chinese.
"How can there be no one to plant good land?" For the Han people, who have long faced the loess with their backs to the sky, such a statement is simply nonsense.
The horse thief fixed the nails, spread out his hands and said with a wry smile: "Lao Tzu wants to farm, but these hands do not obey the call, grazing cattle and sheep and a group of you are not Lao Tzu's opponents, but when it comes to cultivating the land, Lao Tzu accidentally used too much force when plowing the land, the hoe went into the ground, the horses pulling the hoe fell, and Lao Tzu was even more slumped in the mud!" ”
"Hahahaha......"
"Brother Razipur, when plowing the land, you only need to use a little force when the hoe is in the ground, and the rest of the time you can't press down with all your strength, but you have to lift the hoe up, so that the beam of the hoe is level with your waist, so that the depth of the ploughed land is the same......"
The Razipu brothers looked at the old farmer in front of them enviously and said, "If your brother goes to the bottom of the snowy mountain, I don't know how much land he can open up, and I don't know what he can become rich."
My master often said that in the Western Regions, people who can grow crops are treasures, unlike us who farm the land except for cattle and sheep, and it is all sticks! ”
Perhaps he was confused by the prospect that the Lazipu brothers said, or maybe the place in Xijing was no longer suitable for the peasants to live, the old farmer gritted his teeth and said: "Brother Lazipu, do you think the old man can go?"
Are the people of the Western Regions there fierce? ”
The Razipu brothers laughed and said: "The most fierce person in the Western Regions is my master, what do you care about whether others are fierce or not?"
You don't look at the appearance of my master, do you see it, it's the man with black hair and black eyes, you are the same, if you want to go, I will discuss with my master, give you grain, horses, cattle and sheep, and go back with us when we go home. ”
Tie Xinyuan is too young, the homeless people naturally ignore him, Xu Dongsheng looks vicious and burly, such a person can be called a murderer, not to mention, many people saw Xu Dongsheng's tearful appearance when he filled porridge for the homeless people just now.
The old farmer gritted his teeth and said: "Brother Lazipu, please go and discuss with the master, we will definitely work hard when we go to the Western Regions, not to get rich, but to eat!" (To be continued.) )
