Chapter 20: The Old Fox Begs
Out of the capital city of Xuchang, we know what is barren grass and white bones.
Years of war have devastated the land of China.
This is the official road, and even on the side of the official road, you can easily encounter piles of white bones.
They all died in the chaos of the war, and we met many wanderers along the way, all of whom were ragged and yellow-skinned. From a distance, it looks like a group of slow-moving zombies.
We were all in a heavy mood, and it was rare that no one spoke.
"Ye Lao, you can help them." It was the hammer that said this.
The old fox was stunned: "Who to help?"
"Look at them, these people. And the kids, the kids. "The hammer is talking about the people who have been displaced by the war.
They were in tattered clothes, dragging their families with them. The coarse linen clothes on his body seemed to merge with this gray world.
Among them were children who had just walked, and old men who were faltering. They have only one purpose – food.
We all sympathize with them, but so what. We are not much different from them, except that we have what we can call a civilized advanced mind.
"Hammer, we can't help them. You see, none of us know where the next meal will be. "I patted him.
"You're all king eggs!" The hammer screamed. I didn't expect the hammer, which has always been honest, to be so angry.
"What's the matter, Biaohuhu." The monkey was puzzled.
"What are you doing?" Wu Dalang, the protector of the hammer, walked over and pulled him.
"Don't touch me!" The hammer shouted, "Who are you?" You are all scientists, educated and knowledgeable people. Why can't you help these people? ”
"Alright, alright, hammer. How can we help? You said. "I comforted him, cheap comfort.
The hammer glared at me, his eyes full of anger: "You can change the world!" Let this world no more, no, not ......"
The hammer is impassioned and compassion overflows. But there is a lack of knowledge and cannot be expressed. In that hurry, the face is red and the neck is thick.
I looked at him: "Did you say, let's change the world." Let this world be free of poverty, hunger, and equality for all. Just like the civilized world? ”
The hammer breathed a long sigh of relief, looking relieved: "Yes, yes, that's what it means." But I can't tell. ”
"Your idea is a good drop, we can consider it. Wait for us, like Cao Cao, to have our own army and our own territory. Shall we change the world? ”
The hammer is easy to coax, and these illiterate guys are relatively easy to coax. Have your own army, your own territory. It's as simple as that.
"Let's go." The old fox seemed indifferent to all this.
"I said, old fellow, what are we going to eat? You look here, it's full of displaced people. They were all begging, and we were penniless. Isn't it going to starve to death? Didn't you say you could get money, you should have to find a way. I fanned.
"Right, right. I'm hungry. Mao patted his beer belly.
"You're so fat, eat less. Look at your belly, it's all fat. I really want to roast you and eat it. "I hit him.
Girls are all inferior, Ye Xianxian looked at me.
"I don't mean you." It's okay if I don't explain, but the result is that the more and more the depiction gets darker.
Ye Xianxian ignored me anymore, and I couldn't explain it anymore.
I was a little depressed, so I began to be silent.
"Yes, then let's just walk to Fancheng. I don't have any fart to eat, and I'm starving to death. The monkey muttered.
"Let's go, let's go." The old fox was perfunctory.
It was nearly noon.
"I said, old fellow, how long will it take to walk. I can't walk anymore. "I just lay down.
"Soon, soon, the front is here."
So I had to get up and keep following.
It's nearly dusk.
"How long will it take to go if you are old and immortal. Lao Tzu is not leaving, whoever he loves will go. "I really don't have the strength anymore.
Monkeys, they don't even bother to speak.
"I'm your son, I'm going to be your father-in-law." The old fox ignored Ye Xianxian and actually said this.
Ye Xianxian, when he started chasing me, he was dead-skinned. With her, she became shy instead.
She's shy, and I'm doubly shy when I've never even touched a girl's hand in my life.
Ye Xianxian was avoiding my gaze, and I also avoided her gaze.
Embarrassed, I had to divert the subject: "Say it, old guy, it's not a way to go on like this." Even if we go to Fancheng, Liu Bei will surrender. ”
The old fox smiled, he was laughing at me and Ye Xianxian. He could probably see that I had grudgingly accepted Slim.
"Liu Bei will not surrender, at most Changbanpo will be defeated." The old fox continued to hey.
"Look at the smoke." Wu Dalang screamed desperately.
I saw smoke rising not far in front of us.
"Someone's home." Each of us was overjoyed.
"Let's go!" Before I could finish shouting, the guys rushed forward like they had been beaten with chicken blood.
It got dark and it was a village. It can only be called a village, because there are only a few dozen households.
We stood at the entrance of the village. A few children were playing looking at us dressed in black, dressed strangely. Then he was immediately carried away by the adults around him.
"It doesn't seem to be very kind to us." Ah Mao touched his head.
"Whoever is going to order food, the water will also be done." I'm weak.
"Monkey, you go." Ah Mao said.
", I can't open my mouth. Wu Dalang went to "monkey protest.
"I'm not going to go to Xi, you know I'm thin-skinned." Wu Dalang resigned.
They looked at me.
"There are no doors." I said, "Ah Mao goes, Ah Mao looks good."
"If you expect a fat man who is lazy to eat to eat. You just let me go. "Mao has a reason not to go.
Yes, the more miserable the dress, the better. Ah Mao is like a rich man, who will give it to him.
"Ximenqing, you go." I pointed at him.
"No, I can't open my mouth." Ximen Qing hid.
"Hammer, you go with the old fellow." I looked at the old fox.
The old fox hesitated.
"What to do, you said you could get money. You can't get the money, you can go and order something to eat. I urged.
The old fox was too full of words, so he had to drag the hammer hard.
The old fox and the hammer went to the first few houses in the village one after another. Either closed doors or rejected.
In the era of war and hunger, there is compassion, and it is difficult to give food.
So the old fox and the hammer turned around in despair, and were about to return empty-handed.
I shouted, "You can't go to a few of them."
The old fox shrugged and went into the village with the hammer.
We lay down, and after half an hour.
"Why hasn't the old guy come out yet, it can't be these two eating alone." I remind everyone.
The monkeys scrambled to their feet.
"No, the old guy didn't go too far." The monkey said uncertainly.
"That's it, the hammer will leave us some." Wu Dalang is right, the hammer is kind.
"Woo Woo ......"
"Wow......"
Suddenly, there was the sound of chickens flying and dogs jumping in the village, and in a short time the old fox and the monkey galloped out of the village empty-handed.
"What's going on? Picked up by a dog? Monkey said.
"If you kill a thousand knives, go to the old lady to ask for food. You have hands and feet, and you can't do it yourself. I'll break your dog's leg again! A peasant woman who looked like a shrew rushed out, stood at the head of the village and jumped to her feet and cursed.
I wanted to laugh, but when I turned around, the monkeys had already laughed.
It's embarrassing to see people, especially the old fox. It's something we all want to do.
The old fox had a vegetable leaf on his head and was covered in mud soup, which was the work of a shrew.
"Yo, I didn't want this meal. How did I get splashed with vegetable washing water? I laughed at him.
"Unreasonable, she's a shrew." It was rare for the old fox to be so angry, and we were happy.
"What's going on? Sledgehammer. Ye Xianxian also couldn't help but smile and asked.
"Ye Lao went to ask people for food, but they didn't give it. also scolded us, Ye Lao replied a few words. And that's it. Hammer looked aggrieved.
Ye Xianxian "giggled" and smiled and wiped the vegetable washing water on the old fox's body.
"Hahaha......"
"Hey, hey, hey......"
We rolled on the ground laughing, and even the cold-faced beast, which had never been smiling, actually smiled.
