Chapter 1254: Drifting Away...... (Page 1/1)

As the two spoke, they came to the village. Old Man Kong's family lives in the outermost part of the village, two thatched huts, fenced off, looking simple, but a little leisurely with idle clouds and wild cranes.

Old man Kong pushed open the wooden door made of tree branches and walked into the courtyard with Shi Yuan. The yard was not very large, and there were two or three ducks, and a woman was standing with her back to them with her dustpan and chaff and sprinkling chaff to feed the ducks.

"Old man, why did you come so early, the meal is not ready yet." The woman did not look back, but turned her back to them and spoke. After saying that, he called the duck over to eat.

"Old woman, you put down the work in your hands first, there are guests at home!" Uncle Kong put the tools in his hand along the corner of the wall, and saw that his wife did not look back, so he shouted.

When the woman heard this, the feed that was about to be sprinkled in her hand stopped, and then she turned around with the dustpan in her hand, and muttered, "What kind of guest is coming...... The relatives are almost dead, so what's the ......" she was talking as she turned around and saw Shi Yuan, a young man, and then stopped.

Only then did Shi Yuan see the woman's appearance clearly. Judging from her appearance, this woman should be seven or eight years younger than Old Man Kong. However, he is also past the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, his figure is a little bloated, he is wearing a green cloth coat, with a few patches in front of him, and his clothes are a little shabby, but they are very clean. The face is kind, and the wrinkles on the face are stacked like a lasagna......

"Hello mother-in-law, boy Shiyuan, excuse me." After glancing at the woman, Shi Yuan saluted her and said hello.

The woman also stared at Shi Yuan for a long time, and when she saw Shi Yuan bowing down to say hello, she withdrew her eyes and smiled at Shi Yuan kindly. However, he didn't speak, but moved his steps, walked to the side of Old Man Kong, and muttered in a low voice: "I said old man, who is this young man?" Why do we still have this relative? ”

"What relatives!" The woman said very quietly, but Old Man Kong did not lower his voice, raised his head and finished speaking, then pointed to Shi Yuan and introduced: "I was pulling weeds in the field, and this kid suddenly appeared in the field. He said he had fled from the south. No, they gave him this ingot, and I brought him to my house. After saying that, he took out the ingot of silver that Shi Yuan gave him before.

When the woman saw the ingot, she was also startled - seeing that this boy was dressed in tatters, this silver was only a family belonging, and it was generous enough! Then she reached out and took the silver in Old Man Kong's hand, walked to Shi Yuan's side in three steps and two steps, and in Shi Yuan's blank eyes, she took Shi Yuan's hand and stuffed the silver into his hand.

"Son, we can't ask for this silver! It's useless to come, and if you don't dislike it, just live here first. Anyway, we still have enough food to eat. ”

Because Shi Yuan didn't know what this woman was going to do, when he reacted, the silver was already in his hand......

Once upon a time, Shi Yuan felt that such a scene could only appear in TV dramas or in reality, and in reality, there may be people who regard money as dung, but they are definitely not these low-level working people. It's not that he thinks these people are greedy for money, but he thinks that these people are short of money. They can't treat money like dung, because the small money in the eyes of others is in their eyes, but it is the firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea of life......

However, at this moment, this kind of scene that he thought did not exist happened in front of his eyes. Feeling the woman's calloused hands, Shi Yuan suddenly felt that the ingot of silver in his hand seemed to weigh a thousand catties...... himself, after all, is a villain.

"Mother-in-law, I don't need this money. Take it! Even if it's to add some household use to the home. Knowing my uncle, it's always fate. He sighed secretly in his heart, and checked the silver in his hand, and Shi Yuan then stuffed the silver back into the woman's hand.

"You kid, why are you so disobedient? If your mother-in-law asks you to take it, you will take it! What do we want money for? Be obedient, or you will take your money and find another place!" The woman's attitude was remarkably firm.

Shi Yuan stuffed out his silver hand, which stopped in mid-air, and looked at Old Man Kong with an embarrassed expression.

Old man Kong really wanted this ingot of silver, and at this time he was drinking tea with a tea bowl, but his eyes never left Shi Yuan and the others. Seeing Shi Yuan looking over, he put down the tea bowl and walked to the two of them, "I said old woman, this kid has fled, and he will definitely live here for ten days and half a month, you can take this silver, dare I go to the city tomorrow to get some pork......"

"What kind of meat? If you go, you may not be able to come back! The ducks at home are big, just slaughter and eat them. Will you take this silver and try it? Before Old Man Kong could finish his words, the woman's face changed and she interrupted him. When Old Man Kong heard this, he muttered for a long time, but in the end, he flicked his sleeves and went back to drink his own tea......

When Shi Yuan saw the two of them like this, he inexplicably wanted to laugh. Unexpectedly, this old man Kong, who chatted with himself along the way and looked like "Lao Tzu is very dragged", turned out to be a "soft ear".

"Okay, mother-in-law, don't talk about Confucius, this silver ......" he took the silver back, "I'll just take it!" ”

Seeing that Shi Yuan had loaded back the silver, the woman smiled. nodded with satisfaction at Shi Yuan, "You and the old man are waiting here, and I'll bring you food." ”

After that, he turned to look at Old Man Kong with a dustpan, "Old man, come over and feed the ducks." ”

Old man Kong was holding the tea bowl, and when he heard the woman's command, he reluctantly put the tea bowl down, and walked over to take the dustpan in the woman's hand.

"I tell you, don't even think about taking that money! Otherwise......" The woman was about to turn and go into the house, but she emphasized uneasily.

Old man Kong looked impatient and waved his hand, "Got it, got it!" After saying that, he muttered a few more words, but he didn't listen to what he said. But...... I guess I'm saying something annoying.

Shi Yuan looked at the two of them like this, raised his mouth and smiled, but he was not idle. Walking to the side of the old man Kong, he grabbed a handful of feed from the dustpan, sprinkled a handful at the ducks, and said loudly: "Kong Bo, how far is this from the ferry where the Beiqing army crosses the river?" ”

"Thirty or forty miles...... Why do you ask this? Old man Kong replied casually while feeding the ducks.

Shi Yuan heard this, and his face couldn't help twitching...... I thought it was just a deviation of seven or eight miles, how could I ...... Is it so far?
