Chapter IV Surplus Grain of the Landlord's Family
Everyone heard the shouts and fell silent, and they all turned around and looked back, only to see an old woman carrying a lantern in front, followed by a woman in white, coming slowly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
When the refugees saw the woman in white, they all bowed down one after another, and some of them muttered, "Living Bodhisattva......!" Seeing this, the woman in white had to stop, turned sideways and said, "Don't be like this, everyone!" It's ...... to break the little girl! The voice came from afar, euphemistic.
When the black girl saw the woman in white, she left everyone behind and shouted, "Miss! Miss! I'll tell you ......! Ran over, pointed at Li Ke and chattered, and everyone listened to it, and then they understood the reason, and then looked at Li Ke and couldn't help but have three points of awe.
When Shenghui heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward, pulled away the black girl, and scolded: "Just your mouth!" β?
The young lady grabbed Shenghui, took the lantern from the old woman's hand and looked it up and down carefully, and scolded: "It's not hurt, right......?" If you don't want to go, you have to go! If there is a good one, how can I explain ...... to my father! After speaking, he raised his head and glanced at Li Ke gratefully, and then said, "Why don't you go and thank that strong man ......!" β
Shenghui pouted and glanced at the black girl, turned around and came to Li Ke, bowed with his fists, and said to the ground: "Thank you Brother Li for saving your life!" β
Li Ke hurriedly helped him up and said, "No! No! A little thing! β
The young lady handed the lantern back to the old woman, slowly stepped forward, faced Li Ke with a thousand blessings, lowered her head and said: "I don't know that Li Zhuang is here, how rude it is, and I hope for Haihan!" The great grace of the strong man, the birth of a toothless unforgettable! I will be sure to report it in the future! β
Only then did Li Ke see the appearance of the young lady, and saw that she was about seventeen or eighteen years old, tall, slender and slender, with black hair like clouds, clear eyes, quiet but not cold, and slowly approaching, not hurried, dignified and generous. Li Ke's heart trembled, and he couldn't help but sigh - this is the real classical beauty! Compared with those artificial beauties who have been modified in various ways in later generations, the breasts may not be so big and the chin may not be so sharp, but this fresh natural beauty and restrained temperament beauty are even more refreshing and intoxicating! In the face of absolute charm, the aesthetics of all eras have become so ridiculous! There is only one kind of beauty, both through the ages!
Seeing her salute, Li Ke didn't dare to look at it more, so he had to learn to make a gesture like Shenghui, biting his tongue and saying, "Don't dare to ......!" Don't dare ......!"
Lin Yihu saw that the two of them had finished saluting, stepped forward, clasped his fists and said, "Miss! This time into the mountain harvest is not big, I think it is because of this big insect, fortunately, this beast has been killed by Li Zhuangshi, tomorrow I will bring a few more people, I will be able to hunt more prey! β
The young lady looked at the tiger, frowned slightly, and said: "There has been a great drought for many years, the grain harvest has failed, people have gone into the mountains to hunt, and they have taken food from this tiger's mouth, and the big insects have no food, which hurts people!" Tomorrow ......., let's eat first......! He turned to Li Ke and smiled slightly and said, "Li Zhuangshi, don't be polite, just stop!" Then he said to Shenghui: "Greetings to the guests!" After saying that, he bowed to Li Ke, turned around and left with the old woman.
When Lin Yihu saw the young lady leaving, he instructed everyone: "Carry the big worm to the courtyard first, then kill the other prey, cook the soup in a big pot, and give them a bowl to drink!" Then he led Li Ke and Shenghui to the courtyard.
The three of them entered the courtyard, Lin Yihu went to Zhang Luo for dinner, and Shenghui took Li Ke to a guest room in the East Wing, and said goodbye after a few polite words.
Li Ke put down his backpack and looked at the furnishings in the house, a wooden bed by the wall, some curtains hung on it, a table in front of the window, placed the four treasures of the study and a candlestick, a candle was lit on the candlestick, and a few calligraphy and paintings were hung on the wall. Although it is simple, it is very neat, the layout is antique, and it looks very comfortable, but the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall are some traditional characters, and Li Ke looks very laborious.
Li Ke was watching, but saw a few small servants carrying a bathtub and barged in, and without speaking, they poured hot water and went out. Li Ke looked at the steaming hot water, and suddenly felt a lot of itching on his body, and he couldn't care about it, so he stripped off his clothes and jumped in after a few clicks.
The bath water turned from clear to turbid, from turbid to black, and Li Ke's mood slowly relaxed, and the fatigue of the past few days went away with the steaming. Li Ke sat on his back in the bathtub and couldn't help but feel a little gloomy when he thought about his situation, originally he was only out to travel and relax because of his poor performance in the competition and his broken love?!! And it is to come to this troubled world where people are not as good as dogs! Li Ke used to often read those nonsense traversal texts on the Internet with great interest, but whether it is straight or soul-wearing, the male protagonist of the family either has a special function or carries a bull X system, and the worst is also what kind of science and engineering male science and technology elite or something, as long as the golden finger is opened in this ancient time, he will immediately be the king and hegemon, and he will be a cow (cow x) and a horse (stallion), but what about himself? ββIt seems that he can't do anything other than archery, and he was selected by the Bayi Industrial Brigade when he was a teenager and became a professional athlete, and every day in addition to training is training, I am afraid that the real level of education is not as good as that of high school students, not to mention making guns and cannons, even soap does not know how to make ah!
Although because of his father's edification, he often reads some history books, has a general understanding of the history of the late Ming Dynasty, and also knows that Li Zicheng will soon enter Beijing, Chongzhen will soon hang himself, and the Qing army will soon enter the customs, but even if he knows, what can he do? In the face of the rolling tide of history, a person's ability is limited after all, how easy it is to block the car with the mantis arm, take 10,000 steps back, even if you survive in this troubled world, it may be extremely difficult! Thinking of this, Li Ke couldn't help but look sad!
was thinking about it, but his stomach rumbled, Li Ke had to reluctantly climb out of the bathtub, open his backpack, take out a towel and hastily wipe it a few times, change into clean underwear, put on a coat, and walked out of the door. The courtyard was quiet, there was no one, but the courtyard door was wide open, and the square in front of the courtyard was blazing with bonfires, and the black pressure was full of people.
Li Ke walked out, only to see a few cauldrons standing in the square, crowded with refugees in front of the pots, and Lin Yihu was silently watching the villagers share their meals.
Rick walked over and saw in the distance a few pots of brown rice and sorghum boiling in the dark, and in others some broth with pheasants and rabbits that had just been brought in today. Those villagers, regardless of age or age, are two spoonfuls of rice soup and one spoonful of broth per person; The refugees held broken bowls and clay pots, gathered in front of the pot, staring at the rice in the pot with bright eyes, anxiously waiting for the customers to share their meals.
Seeing Lin Yihu beside him with a sad face, Li Ke stepped forward thoughtfully and asked, "Brother Lin, how many of these refugees are there?" β
When Lin Yihu saw that it was Li Ke, he hugged his fists and replied, "More than 300 people!" Rick nodded and asked, "How much food do you get in a day?" Lin Yihu sighed and pointed to the rice porridge and said, "Even so, you have to have two stones a day!" Although Li Ke didn't know how many two stones were, he also saw that Lin Yihu was under great pressure. Hearing the two of them talking, a young farmer next to him interjected: "If we continue like this, I'm afraid we will have to go out to ask for food soon!" Li Ke's heart sank when he heard this, and he didn't know how to answer.
Li Ke stared at the refugees for a while, and suddenly noticed something different.
Contrary to what they imagined, these refugees were dressed in dirty clothes, but they were not shabby, and they were not so poorly dressed. Although they didn't know how to queue, they just gathered in front of the pot with anxious faces, but they were not crowded or noisy, they just waited silently with the broken bowl, and when they got the rice, they turned around and returned to their families to share it together!
Moreover, these refugees crowded in front are all women and children, and there are not many adult men, most of whom are waiting far behind.
is different from the performance in later film and television works, and it is not the same as what I usually make up for myself when I read history books! Shouldn't refugees be messy and chaotic? Shouldn't troubled times be about the law of the jungle and bullying the weak? Are these refugees different? Or is there a deviation in the understanding of the historical records by later generations?
Li Ke was strange in his heart, and he couldn't figure it out! He stopped a white-haired old man and asked, "May I ask you, uncle, where are you from?" Why did you end up here? The old man replied with a bitter face: "The villain is a native of Henan Guide, originally the family also had a thin field, although the drought in recent years, there are many food donations, and they can barely make ends meet with hard work, but a few days ago the thieves surrounded Kaifeng Mansion, and the officers and soldiers who came to the rescue had a big battle, the officers and troops were defeated, a group of defeated soldiers came to us to burn and loot, and several sons of the villain and they were desperately killed, only Lao Yu and a few daughters-in-law ran out with their grandsons!" He choked up as he spoke.
Li Ke was speechless, persuaded a few words and asked: "I heard that Jiangnan is quite rich, why don't you go south to escape the famine?" β
The old man wiped his tears and said: "Childe, I don't know, Jiangnan is good, but Huaibei also has a drought, and there are many officials and soldiers, and we have no food, how can we go!?" I had to beg for food while coming east! β
Li Ke asked again: "Then why don't you go to the state capital and county, where there is an official yamen, and you can still see death and not save it?" β
When the old man heard this, he looked up at Li Ke and said, "When I see that the young master is a rich and noble family, then I know that the world is difficult?" Nowadays, wars and natural disasters are continuous, and the world is too busy to take care of themselves, how many bodhisattvas like Miss Shengjia are in the heart? Where do lonely and useless people like me go? Alas......! It's a day to live! With that, he shook his head and left.
Li Ke didn't know why, Lin Yihu sighed and explained: "Li Zhuangshi doesn't know, how many people are affected by this disaster now? Hearing about a disaster relief, what kind of state capital has so much food? What if these hungry people make trouble? What can the emperor do? What's more, most of the current government officials are people who have been promoted and made a fortune, so how can they have nothing to do? Therefore, once you see the victims, let the officers and soldiers drive them away! Rick was dumbfounded!
At this time, a little servant came to report that the meal was ready, and the young master invited the two of them to come over for dinner, and Lin Yihu invited Li Ke to walk to the courtyard.
When he came to the courtyard, Li Ke saw that the tiger was still aside, so he asked Lin Yihu, "Brother Lin, why didn't this tiger cook together?" β
Lin Yihu replied: "This is hunted by Gongzi, how can I deal with it casually?" β
Li Ke frowned and said, "What is this called!" It's important to save people! This tiger has three or four hundred catties, and it is enough for everyone to eat a few meals! β
Lin Yihu nodded and said, "Okay! Since Li Gongzi said so, let them peel and cook it in a while! β
At this moment, a broken cry came: "Don't ......!" β
