Time flies like a white horse, and in the blink of an eye, Li Mao has been able to go to the ground, he now has a new name called Liang Zhen, who is the nephew of the old man of the Qi family, who offended people in Yunzhou City, and has nowhere to go here to join relatives and friends. With the endorsement of Muramasa, the people in the village gradually accepted his identity.

This year, the summer rain was too heavy, and the crops in the autumn were determined to be reduced, but fortunately, this place belongs to Yunzhou, the first good place in Ziqing, and the local government is still concerned about the impact of the point, although the means of exploitation have not been alleviated, but in the end it has given the people a way to live, which is to allow the victims to go out, beg for food or work for a short time.

After harvesting the autumn grain, the old man of the Qi family discussed with the eldest and the second to go to Qingzhou, where the disaster was relatively light, to join relatives and friends and ask for a way to live.

The problem now is Li Mao, although Li Mao has been able to go to the ground, he still can't do anything, and he can't do anything with him, and he attracts attention. And it is naturally not appropriate to leave him behind, an old wife in the family is fine, and his daughter is sixteen years old, which is the age when love first blossoms.

The countrymen have little knowledge, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not be seduced by this cousin who fell from the sky.

Qi Laohan also saw that his old wife had already been interested in Li Mao, it was the mother-in-law who looked at her son-in-law more and more pleasing to the eye, and the more she looked at it, the more she looked at it, the more she looked at it as a son-in-law, if it weren't for the second son Qi Hao who had been whispering in her ears that Li Mao's origin was unknown, her old man might have already started the idea of recruiting Li Mao to come to the door as a son-in-law.

"I'm leaving."

Li Mao saw the family's embarrassment and took the initiative to raise it.

These words were said at the dinner table, and after the words came out, the whole family fell into silence, and Qi Xin, who was sitting opposite Li Mao, bowed his head deeply, tears rolling in his eyes.

"You haven't recovered your body and bones, so you're in such a hurry to go back......"

Before the old mother could finish her words, she was stopped by the vicious gaze cast by the second son.

"You've been here for so long, and we haven't asked you, who are you, do you have a home?"

"Big brother, it's not interesting to ask this, the hero doesn't ask about his origin, he hasn't asked for a few months, and now he is leaving, what else are you asking?"

The eldest glared at the second brother viciously, the brothers have not been harmonious since childhood, the second brother hates his father and mother for being partial, and does everything to the boss, and the boss hates the second brother for being more and more disrespectful to his brother.

"My hometown is Hezhong Mansion, come to Yunzhou to do business, do business will inevitably have enmity with people, Yun Shuai died of illness, there was a rebellion in the city, the enemy hired to kill me, only to fall into this field. I am grateful for my great kindness, and if I can return to the river this time, I will be rewarded with a thousand gold. ”

"Thank you for your money, you have money, give the medicine money first."

"Second/second brother."

Qi Hao's words caused public anger, and the whole family asked for it in unison, but the second child was not convinced, but he could only bow his head. Li Mao didn't say anything, if the promise just now had been changed a few months ago, it would have been a fluttering sentence, but now?

"People, no matter what you do outside, sooner or later you have to return to your roots, you want to go back to your hometown, I won't stop you." Qi Laohan walked around his family, looked at Li Mao, and encouraged: "People will inevitably have ups and downs in this life, just look away, uncle wishes you a smooth journey." ”

The old man picked up a bowl of water and said, "Let's replace wine with water, and I wish your eldest cousin a smooth journey." ”

This is a bowl of bland and tasteless well water, Li Mao drank it in his mouth, but it was like drinking a bowl of hot iron juice, and the burned internal organs were rotten together. The farewell banquet actually had a few more sheets of bread than usual, and a chicken was slaughtered and a big pot of soup was boiled.

The eldest daughter-in-law and her two children sat on the threshold, drinking bowl after bowl of chicken soup, muttering that her mother and son were not lucky enough to eat. The second child sneered when he heard it, and the eldest couldn't hold back his face when he heard it, so he finally found an excuse and slapped his daughter-in-law in the face.

The daughter-in-law took the opportunity to go crazy, poured out the evil qi accumulated in her heart, and drummed with her husband face to face, and the second child took the opportunity to make waves and forced the boss to beat the daughter-in-law ruthlessly.

This farewell banquet ended in a hurry in the screams of the eldest daughter-in-law killing pigs, beating his wife, the eldest was quite distressed, so as soon as the meal was over, he went back to the house to coax his daughter-in-law, because he was going to go far away, and the second child went out to say goodbye to his partners.

When the mother and daughter of the Qi family were washing and washing in the stove, the neighbor's house came crying again, the whole Zhuangzi was affected together, the fire had to go out together, and the common people relocated to the land, and it was not easy to go out.

Soldiers, bandits, officials, thieves, local tyrants, inferior gentry, and profiteers are all masters who eat people and do not spit out bones.

The old man of the Qi family was a village leader in his early years, although the family was ruined, his prestige was still there, and when he encountered neighborhood disputes, he had to ask him to come forward if he was at the mercy of the current village leader.

The village came to report that there was a fight next door, and the old man of the Qi family went over with his wife to persuade him. When the wife was leaving, he instructed Qi Xin to wash the pots and pans and feed the ploughing cattle, which was the lifeblood of the whole family, and it had to be kept when fleeing from the famine. Otherwise, even after the famine year, the whole family will not have a way to live.

The Qi family never asked Li Mao to do anything, but Li Mao always tried his best to help do some housework within his ability, and now he is squatting next to the guillotine to make forage, the guillotine is expensive, and the whole village has one, and each household takes turns to use it.

The grass is a technical job, Li Mao has not been in charge for a long time, the means are unfamiliar, Qi Xin pinched his waist and stood next to the command, her voice is melodious, her eloquence is average, and her thinking is not clear enough.

Qi Xin giggled and scolded Li Mao for being a fool.

Li Mao straightened his waist, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and saw that Qi Xin was still smiling, so he said unhappily: "What are you laughing at, pay attention to flash your tongue, lose your teeth, and you can't get married." ”

"Get out." Qi Xinjiao said angrily, and tears suddenly fell after speaking.

Before Li Mao came back to his senses, the sixteen-year-old girl suddenly threw herself into her arms and cried like tears. Li Mao picked up Qi Xin's face and kissed her. Then he said, "Half a year if it's fast, or a year if it's slow, I'll definitely come back to pick you up." ”

Qi Xin nodded vigorously and said, "I'll wait." ”

The two of them had to say a few more words, the courtyard door was suddenly knocked open, and the second Qi Hao rushed in, plunged into the firewood room, touched the iron fork and ran out, never glancing at the two wooden stakes in the yard.

Soon outside the courtyard came the sound of beating wild boars, it is said that there is a big wild boar with a family of three to the field outside the village to gnaw sorghum stalks, this is a food delivered to the door, hit the wild boar, every family can have a tooth sacrifice, but the wild boar is very fierce, few people can not do it, I heard that the second child went to fight wild boar, the boss who coaxed his daughter-in-law in the house couldn't help but rush out, pulled the shovel and ran out.

Soon after he left, the eldest daughter-in-law also came out of the house, her hair was disheveled, and her clothes were a little untidy, she smiled awkwardly at Li Mao and her sister-in-law, locked the two children into the house, and was busy going out to watch the excitement.

The courtyard was empty, Li Mao smiled awkwardly at Qi Xin and said, "I forgot that my eldest brother and sister-in-law are also there." ”

Qi Xin pulled his hair together and said with a smile: "My brother has a bad temper, my sister-in-law has a bad mouth, and the second brother is just careful, but in fact, people are not bad." After saying a few irrelevant words, Qi Xin fell silent.

At this moment, Li Mao's heart is also at war between heaven and man, and in the past three months, he has taken care of himself and gotten along day and night, if he has no feelings, it would be a lie. Qixin is handsome, simple and kind-hearted, the sixteen-year-old girl is full of infinite charm, and she takes the initiative to give her a hug, how can he refuse?

If in the past, Li Mao felt that he was qualified to love her, even if he couldn't give her a name, he could give enough compensation in other aspects, but now, his future is uncertain, and he doesn't know the blessings and misfortunes, how do you want him to choose?

After a moment of hesitation, Li Mao hugged Qi Xin, who had already taken away her heart, but wanted to leave his person?

……

Afterwards, Qi Xin returned to the stove room without saying a word to complete her unfinished work, while Li Mao continued to go to the cao.

There was a wild boar in the village, and the two neighbors of the Qi family immediately ended the infighting, and the husband and wife looked for a knife and a rope, and they were busy catching wild boars.

The old mother of the Qi family looked at the courtyard gate of her house, and suddenly changed her mind, she did not go home, but followed the eldest girls and little daughters-in-law in the village to the entrance of the village to watch the men hunt wild boars.

The wild boar died under the iron fork, and the three little pigs were captured alive, and the rules of the village have always been evenly distributed, regardless of whether they work or not.

In the middle of the night, when the old man of the Qi family took his wife to lead his son and daughter-in-law home with pork, the lights had been turned off in Qixin's house, and the old mother looked at Li Mao's room again, and there was no light.

She sighed slightly, then shook her head helplessly.

On the day Li Mao left, Qixin kept sending him to the entrance of the village, there were many people, she was inconvenient to send him far, her eyes were mixed, she didn't dare to go beyond the rules, she just looked at Li Mao, Li Mao didn't dare to look at her directly, and both of them were very hard.

Qijiazhuang is close at hand in Yunzhou, but closed like another world, out of this world, some of the truth is gradually revealed, the second year of the beginning of June that night in Yunzhou City there was a mutiny, the mastermind Liu Wugou united the four major families to kill the Jiedu envoy Li Shigu, and supported Liu Wu as the Jiedu envoy.

Li Shigu died in the coup d'état, and Li Shidao, the deputy envoy of the observation and deputy envoy of the Du Branch, led the army to crusade and killed more than 30 rebel generals, but the culprit Liu Wu was escorted by his son Liu Congji and others to break out of the siege and escape.

According to the captive, Li Mao, the Liaodong Economic Envoy, also participated in the coup d'état, and is now fleeing in fear of crime.

Three months have passed, and now the overall situation of Ziqing has been decided, and the secrets of the past have long been spread all over the streets and alleys, but Li Mao has not been able to know because of the news of Qijia Village.

"The truth." Li Mao couldn't help but spit on the ground, "The truth of bullshit." (Dissertation College)
