"I say, old fellow. If you want food, you need food. What are you doing with a peasant woman? I looked at the embarrassed old fox with delight.

"Vulgar, arrogant, unreasonable!" The old fox's anger did not subside.

"Hey, you reason with a peasant woman, you really can. Can't you just go over and say something nice and pretend to be pathetic? "I give a thumbs up.

"You can go, I'd rather be hungry than go anyway." The old fox was angry.

"Well, we're going to go hungry today." I patted the dirt off my body, and I looked like I didn't care about myself.

"There you go!" The monkeys pointed at me in unison.

"No, it's not. Why should I go? "I was indignant.

"You said, say good things, pretend to be pitiful."

"That's it, if you don't go, who will go."

"Hurry up, don't fix those useless ones. It's up to you, the dog basket you go. ”

"Go, go. We're optimistic about you. ”

"Uh-huh, Brother Xiao Ming goes."

It's over, I'm digging a hole for myself. Not only did I dig a hole, but I had to jump myself and put my head down.

Then go, I went into the village with my head on. The households at the head of the village thought that the doors were closed. No matter how wind and rain you can't open, it's not good for you to talk about the little rabbit.

A small village with dozens of families in total, the head of the village with a cup of tea walked to the end of the village.

Only this one, the one where the old fox was kicked out, is still open.

"Bang! Nation! Nation! "I knocked on the door.

"Who!" Sure enough, it was the peasant woman's voice from inside.

"Well, is anyone home?" I lowered my voice.

"Who?" Inside was a man's rugged voice.

"I don't know, it sounds like a woman."

I rubbed when my voice was like a woman, this old vixen.

Well, I'm here to ask for food. They gave me food, and I called them shrews. It's a bit of a stretch, I'm not an old fox.

The door opened, revealing the face of a weather-beaten, fierce resentful woman.

"That, auntie. I ......"

"You are?" The peasant woman looked me up and down.

I looked at myself. I see, I'm still wearing Cao Jun's military uniform.

"Oh, I'm passing through. I'm lost, okay, I haven't eaten for days. ”

"Oh, you, you're waiting......" the peasant woman looked surprised.

The aunt immediately became busy, and he quickly ran into the house: "Boss, hurry up." Get something to eat! Fast! ”

I was surprised. What's going on?

"What's the matter?" A man in the house came to the courtyard wearing a torn jacket, and he saw me at the door.

"Come in, come on." By this time the peasant woman had come out of the house, holding a bowl of boiled sweet potatoes in her hand.

"Oh, quick, get inside." The man immediately panicked.

I was stunned by this sudden enthusiasm, and walked into the courtyard in a daze.

Only then did I realize that the peasant woman was holding a bowl of taro in her hand. Sweet potatoes were only introduced in the Ming Dynasty, where did the sweet potatoes come from at this time.

"Farmer, dirty house. You just sit here, sit down. Come and eat. The peasant woman greeted her warmly.

The inside of the thatched house was pitch black, and the light was really bad. There is a stone mill outside the yard, and there is a smooth bluestone next to the stone mill.

The bluestone was already very clean, and the man still wiped it vigorously with his sleeve: "Sit, sit."

This man is very wooden and belongs to the honest farmer.

"That, auntie...... "I was holding the bowl, and wanted to say that the brothers outside were with me.

Before I could speak, the peasant woman immediately laughed: "Look at your clothes as a soldier, my son is also a soldier in Cao Ying." His clothes are exactly the same as yours. ”

The peasant woman's eyes turned red as she spoke: "This is Gejia Village, his name is Ge Goudan, I don't know if you know my son?"

I held the bowl and shook my head with a smile.

"I'll just say it. There are so many people in General Cao, you can recognize them everywhere. I don't know which camp our son is in. The man said.

The peasant woman burst into tears: "Alas, my son has been a soldier for six years. I haven't come back yet, and I sent a letter to my family a few days ago. Recently, there has been a shortage of soldiers, and the post station where the letter was delivered was also burned by the rebels. ”

The peasant woman wiped her tears again and smiled: "There has been no news of my son for more than half a year. Look at your clothes, and I think of my son. Eat, eat. ”

I understood that the peasant woman saw my clothes and missed her son. That's when she greeted me warmly, and she treated me like her son.

"The ......"

The peasant woman interrupted me again: "Hey, I'll tell you. Just now, an old man and a teenager came over and asked for something to eat. I didn't give it to him. ”

"Oh, why didn't you give him food?" I'm curious.

The corner of the peasant woman's mouth raised: "Hmph, give it to him?" He came to ask for food with a pork belly face. I don't even say a good word, it's like he's giving me a handout. I said a few words to him, you are a big man with hands and feet to come out and ask for something. He's not happy, I'm not a vegetarian, my mother! ”

"That's right. However, that person was also with me. I laughed.

"What? You're in this together, too. That, that ...... "The peasant woman obviously didn't expect me to be with the old fox."

"Well, we still have a few of them. I'm afraid you'll be scared to come in together, so I'm here on my own. ”

"Oh, I said. Well, let them in. What you said is also that this world is not peaceful. Come in, you're all going to be scared. Boss, go and beckon everyone to come in. The peasant woman was enthusiastic.

The man let out an "oh" and went out to call the old fox and let them go.

"What are you going to do? Alas, I don't know when it will be a peaceful day these years, and the lives of the common people are not as good as a dog. The peasant woman sighed.

I am speechless, this is indeed the case in troubled times. Human life is like a mustard.

After a while, the old fox came in, and they could stuff a durian into their mouths at the moment.

I sat on the bluestone next to the stone mill and nibbled on taro, while the peasant woman served me with a bowl of hot water.

The monkeys would never believe that I was being treated so well, and the old fox's eyes widened even more.

"Ouch, I'm sorry. Just now, I was a little anxious. Come into the house, come in the house. I'll go get you something to eat. The peasant women loved the house and the Wu, and immediately became enthusiastic about them.

The old fox was still depressed, and deliberately kept a distance from the peasant woman.

The man brought a bench and went into the house to help, leaving us to sit in the courtyard.

"No, what kind of method did you use. Let the old woman be so enthusiastic about you? Ah Mao looked puzzled.

I was proud: "I won't tell you, the mountain people have their own tricks."

After a while, the peasant women and men brought the food, and the poor and backward villages had nothing good to greet the guests.

It's all some beans, brown rice and stuff.

This is comparable to a delicacy for us after a hungry day.

"Auntie, how far is the nearest county seat here?" I asked.

"The nearest one, Xuchang. The Emperor's Palace is there, and it's only a day's walk away. The peasant woman said.

I smiled wryly: "We are from Xuchang, are there any other towns around here?"

The peasant woman shook her head: "We farmers have never been far away. I don't know anywhere else. ”
