Meng Yuanba was taken aback when he saw Li Mao, and suddenly stopped the car, Huang's old woman almost fell off the car, Yingchun was annoyed that her brother was reckless, and was about to scold, when she suddenly saw Li Mao, she twisted her eyebrows and jumped out of the car numbly.

She turned around and helped the old woman get out of the car, and then came over and asked Li Mao: "Why are you back again?" When the old woman saw Li Mao, she stepped forward with a smile, took out a half-eaten piece of dough from her arms, and said to Yingchun: "He, he gave it." ”

Li Mao asked Yingchun: "Who are you this old man?" Yingchun asked rhetorically: "Who are you?" The old woman laughed and said, "He, a good man, a good man." Yingchun took the old woman's arm and said, "Auntie, don't talk, there are bad people everywhere nowadays, and if someone else gives you a piece of cake, you should treat him as a good person." Or maybe he's a great traitor. ”

Qingmo heard this, and couldn't help jumping off the horse, pointing at Yingchun and shouting: "Okay, you little girl, how can you speak, who is the big traitor." You make it clear. Yuan Ba saw Qingmo baring his teeth at his sister, and immediately became furious, and he picked up a wooden stick to beat Qingmo.

This little guy is strong on the outside, and when he saw the stout of Yuan Ba, he first felt comfortable in his heart, and muttered stupidly: "Good men don't fight with women, I think you are young and ignorant, I don't have the same knowledge as you." Yingchun pressed Meng Yuanba's wooden stick, stepped forward, looked Li Mao up and down, and said with a smile: "I look like you are a good person." ”

Li Mao smiled: "I don't have any malice, I just feel that the old man is lonely and helpless, and I want to find a family for her to settle down, since you know each other, I don't care, say goodbye." ”

turned around and was about to get on the horse, but Yingchun stepped forward and grabbed the reins: "You stop." Li Mao turned around and asked, "What do you want the little lady to order?" Yingchun turned around and looked at the old woman, held Li Mao's horse reins with both hands, lowered her voice and said, "It seems that you are a good person, I will tell you the truth." ”

Li Mao threw the reins of the horse to Mo Qi's supernatural powers, and walked to the side of the road with Yingchun.

Yingchun secretly looked back at the old woman again, and then said to Li Mao: "This old man was here five days ago, and asked her where her hometown was, but she couldn't tell clearly, and my brother and I stayed at home when we saw that she was pitiful." Today we came out to do business, and she couldn't stay at home, so she ran out alone. When I arrived at the small bridge, I couldn't remember where to go, so I sat there and calculated, but I happened to meet you, and you gave her a few pieces of bread, and she kept thinking about you. ”

Li Mao said: "I just met a few idlers and robbed her of her cakes. It didn't hurt her. Yingchun said: "Ah, there is also this matter, she didn't mention it to me, I don't know." After that, he trotted all the way back, took the old woman's hand and asked.

The old woman just laughed, pointed at Li Mao, and praised him for being a good person. Yingchun put her mind at ease and ran back to Li Mao and said, "It's not hurt, this lady looks confused, but she is shrewd in her heart." Dealing with the Yuan brothers is not a piece of cake. ”

Li Mao asked who the brothers of the Yuan family were, and Yingchun said: "After he is a Hu person, you can know that he is a Hu person by looking at his appearance, the four brothers are rampant in the township, and they have done a lot of evil things, but there is also an advantage that they do not bully women and children, and they will not embarrass the eldest mother." ”

Li Mao also remembered that Yuanhu had said that the cake was given by the old woman on her own initiative, and they did not snatch it, and as soon as Yingchun's words were confirmed, he immediately relieved himself.

He took out a bag of money from his bag and handed it to Yingchun and said, "Your brothers and sisters are good people, you can take this money and do some small business." This old man asks you to take care of her for a few days, and her family will be looking for her soon. ”

Yingchun shrank her hand and refused to ask for money, shaking her head like a rattle, but said: "There is chaos everywhere, I don't know how many people are ruined in a year, and her family knows if she is still there, but you can rest assured, since we have arrived at our house, we will not wronged her. ”

Li Mao took her hand, put the money in her hand, and said with a smile: "If you are a good person, don't you allow me to do good, buy her two sets of clothes." Seeing that Li Mao was holding his sister's hand and talking endlessly, Yuan Ba was immediately furious, howled, and rushed with a stick......

Yingchun saw his brother fall to the ground, his neck shrank in fright, his eyes closed, and when he opened his eyes again, he giggled non-stop: Meng Yuanba had a pile of cow dung in front of him, and he pounced on the cow dung with his face, but he was not injured, but he was a little embarrassed. She broke free of Li Mao's hand, went over to help Yuanba up, and pulled him to the pond on the side of the road, she pulled up the corners of her skirt and went down into the water, pressed Yuanba's neck forcefully, and washed and washed his face.

Meng Yuanba ate Qingmo's plot, and was very unconvinced, the brother and sister chattered, you and I quarreled. Meng Yingchun was simply a tigress when she quarreled, and under her fierce offensive, Meng Yuanba, who was five big and three thick, was soon left with only muttering. The quarrel is over, and Yingchun is victorious.

Only then did Li Mao realize that the brother and sister had been talking to them in Heluo Mandarin, and he couldn't understand a word of her native dialect.

When asked, I learned that the two brothers and sisters were surnamed Meng, people from Xiangzhou, Li Xilie was called to crusade against Liang Chongyi, their hometown was a battlefield, the lives were devastated, and the people were not able to make a living, so they had to flee from Xiangzhou to here, but they didn't want their relatives to go to another country to escape the famine one step ahead of them, and the brother and sister took their mother to struggle here.

A year ago, his mother died of illness, and the two of them rented a field from a large family in their hometown, relying on Meng Yuanba's majestic strength to gain a foothold.

After asking the addresses of the Meng brothers and sisters, Li Mao went with confidence. After walking for a day, at dusk, it was suddenly rumored that the Zhengzhou soldiers had calmed down, the road had been smoothed, and the three of them were overjoyed. Overnight in a thatched shop, located in the middle of nowhere, if you want to eat or drink. Qingmo tried his best, but he only got a yellow rice and a chicken from last year, and a jar of "good wine" that is said to be aged but tasteless to drink.

Qingmo took a sip of wine, felt tasteless, opened his mouth and spit on the ground, wiped his mouth, and shouted: "The terrain here is flat, the canals are vertical and horizontal, it should be the land of fish and rice, how can it be so poor, is it possible that this Zhengzhou rebellion will make trouble several times a year?" ”

The shopkeeper was boiling vegetable porridge, and said with a smile: "There are a few times to make trouble, once in three years, we can't live the life of our small people, if we make trouble a few times a year, we will simply run away." ”

Qingmo was stunned and said: "Isn't this Yicheng Town the paradise of the Wang family, why is it not as good as Ziqing?" ”

The shopkeeper looked at the people around and said with a smile: "You Ziqing people only need to support the Li family, how many families do we have to support?" I can't count it, but can I not be poor? At this time, someone came in, and Li Mao was afraid that the shopkeeper would make a mistake, so he motioned to Qingmo not to ask more. (Dissertation College)
