Ah Tie (Bu Jingyun Gaiden) 2
The next day, when the sun was rising and Xue Yuan woke up in the sun, Ah Tie was preparing breakfast.
Xue Yuan hurriedly got up to wash, looked at Ah Tie who was busy before and after, and felt very happy.
"It's all your fault...... Tossing the river people and crabs like that at night, I couldn't get up early, and I said that I would take care of the three meals. ”
Xue Yuan wiped her face and hugged Ah Tiedao from behind, her tone was like a reproach, but it was more coquettish.
"Sit down and drink porridge."
Ah Tie put two large bowls of porridge on the table, took off his apron, tasted it himself, and looked at Xue Yuan expectantly.
In the past month, he got up early every day to cook porridge, although the taste was not as good as the porridge cooked by Xue Yuan, but it was much better than his first cooking.
Xue Yuan also took a small sip first, then a big sip like Ah Tie, and then stretched out his thumb and said:
"It's getting better and better, and it's going on like this...... It's going to overtake me soon. ”
"If it's delicious, eat it quickly, and if it's cold, it tastes bad."
Ah Tie smirked.
The porridge is just white rice porridge, and the pickles are also home-pickled radish, but Xue Yuan thinks it is a delicacy in the world.
The scene that Xiaoqing saw in the Nine Voids back then has come true.
Because this is the life that she, the goddess, desires.
"Yuan, please clean up the dishes and chopsticks, I'm going out."
Ah Tie took a flat pole firewood knife and walked to the northwest mountain, and his figure soon became a black spot and disappeared into the lush grass and trees in the Qiantang area.
When the sun was high, Ah Tie had already collected a full load of firewood, and as usual, he picked it up and sold it in a nearby town.
"Ah Tie is here to sell firewood again, the people outside Liuyuan have been waiting for you in the market for a long time, go quickly."
He came almost every day, and the town was small, and the two officials who were on patrol were already aware of him. Ah Tie's firewood is very large, although it is two loads of the same size, but it is much heavier than other people's, so Ah Tie's firewood is very good in the market.
And the price of a load of firewood is eight wen.
The dignitaries and nobles often sold 12,000 taels, and they still felt insufficient, but for Ah Tie, Bawen was already the result of his hard work in one day.
What the official said was true, the little guy in Liuyuan's outer mansion had been waiting for him for half an hour.
"Hurry up, hurry up, we're waiting for it."
While urging Ah Tie, the little guy stuffed the copper coin into Ah Tie's hand, he brought a stick, and when Ah Tie removed the flat burden, he also picked up a load of firewood like a woodcutter.
Ah Tie counted the money, but found that it was wrong, and hurriedly chased after it:
"Brother Yun, why do you have two more articles today?"
Brother Yun stopped when he heard this, and scolded with a smile:
"You idiot, today is our 50th birthday, and the two more articles were ordered by Steward Liu to reward you."
Fiftieth birthday?
These words suddenly crashed into Ah Tie's consciousness, like a muffled thunder.
Why did it feel so familiar?
Why was he so scared?
He was stunned for a moment, Brother Yun had already gone far, Ah Tie hurriedly made a gesture and said loudly:
"Thank you, Brother Yun, thank you!"
He shook his head, not thinking about his fiftieth birthday, happily took out the money bag on his waist, put the newly obtained ten cents into it, walked to the shop that sold rouge gouache at the corner of the street, hesitated again and again, and finally mustered up the courage to ask:
"I want to buy a rouge for Uchiko, I don't know how much it costs?"
The owner of the gouache seller knew that Ah Tie was a woodcutter who came to sell firewood every day, and he didn't have much oil and water to scrape, so he casually pointed to the two boxes on the far right:
"Fifty wen for makeup powder, two hundred and eighty wen for rouge, two copies together, three hundred wen."
Ah Tie didn't know that the female was popular, and he also knew that he wanted to use rouge and gouache together, so he took out his money bag and counted it for a long time, and took the three hundred Wen to the counter and put it down.
"The shopkeeper helped me pack a set, thank you!"
He worked hard for a day, but he only got eight wen, plus the occasional hunt of wild beasts in the mountains, these three hundred wen was his savings for a whole month.
The money was spent, and Ah Tie was not distressed, because this was a gift he prepared for his beloved wife.
He took the paper bag from the shopkeeper's hand, carefully carried it in his arms, and was about to leave for home, when he noticed a commotion on the other side of the street.
"The people of the World Association are here, let's go!"
Afraid that the people could avoid it, they got out of the way, and in a moment, a group of people in the middle of the street walked to the middle of the town with a big grin, and the big fat man at the head asked:
"Where is Liujiazhuang?"
The fat man was tall, extremely stable, and full of true qi, so many people had already been shocked to their eardrums.
"Three hundred steps west of town."
The people of the Tianxia Association got a reply, and immediately went to Liujiazhuang, headed by the fat man. Although they are numerous, their actions are neat and neat, and there is no sense of dragging mud and water.
Although the momentum of the Tianxia Association is frightening, after all, there are still bold people, and it is the nature of the people to join in the fun, and everyone is frightened, so they get together in three or five, and follow the Tianxia Association to help the people out of the town, but they just stand dozens of steps away from the gate of Liujiazhuang, and they dare not step forward.
Of course, Ah Tie was also among the crowd of onlookers, and when he heard Brother Yun mention Liu Yuanwai's 50th birthday, he felt as if he had been hit hard, and when he saw the people in the world, he felt that this situation was extremely familiar.
Those people who are afraid of the world will help the people, but in his eyes they are as ordinary as peddlers and pawns.
This...... Why, exactly?
After a while, everyone heard the roar of the big fat man:
"Old man Liu, if you don't obey the World Association, you will only die!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone dozens of steps away from Liujiazhuang felt shocked and inexplicable.
Ah Tie's heart also began to pound!
Why did he find this scene so familiar!
After all, the world will be a long-term conquest, and the fat man who wants to take the lead is not a mediocre hand, and everyone only hears the screams of Zhuang Zhong in the periphery.
After a while, the fire broke out, and its momentum soared to the sky!
The blood-covered congregation of the world also went to the next destination under the leadership of the fat man.
The crowd of onlookers sighed and gradually dispersed, but only Ah Tie fell to the ground alone, holding his head in his hands, and his face was extremely painful.
50th birthday! The world will! Slaughter! Blaze!
These things burrowed into his mind and gave him a splitting headache.
But Ah Tie couldn't think of anything.
The sun went down and the moon rose in the east.
Xue Yuan stood on the stone bridge at the entrance of the village, looking forward to it.
She had been waiting for more than three hours.
The husband she was waiting for has not yet returned.
In normal times, Ah Tie would return before it was dark.
Can be ...... today It was already two full hours and five quarters of an hour late.
Could it be ...... Is it them?
Xue Yuan suddenly thought of a possibility, a possibility that worried her terribly.
If so......
Just when Xue Yuan was worried and was about to go to find Ah Tie, she finally saw the figure she had been looking forward to for a long time.
Ah Tie, it's back.
Ah Tie's footsteps were a little scattered, and when he saw that Xue Edge was at the bridgehead, he also accelerated his pace.
When the two hugged each other tightly, Xue Yuan actually shed tears.
"Where have you been, come back so late, I'm so worried......"
Ah Tie scratched his head, took out a paper bag from his arms, and carefully held it in front of Xue Yuan.
"I wanted to get more firewood, so I delayed the time."
Xue Yuan didn't know what was in the paper bag, but he thought that Ah Tie had carefully prepared it, and after opening it, he saw that it was makeup powder and rouge, and he was extremely happy in his heart, but tears fell again.
"You're so stupid, don't you know that I'm naturally beautiful and don't need to be powdered at all."
"I'm stupid because I have a wife who's as stupid as me."
"Looking for a fight!"
The two of them hugged each other tightly in the moonlight, as if they were ...... There can be forever.
