Chapter 278: A Grain of Rice
Did Li Guo let the red lady save him? Yes, exactly.
The Red Lady is a performer on the rivers and lakes, which was very common at that time. Their main performances are roughly the same as the circus today, and everyone has some real kung fu in their hands. Their circus class is called the Deyi class, and the red lady is the team leader.
There are more than a dozen people in the troupe, most of them are brothers and sisters from the same family, and two of them are still the uncles of the Red Lady. Since she was a child, the red lady has followed her master to roam the rivers and lakes, learn art and sell art, and her kung fu is the most successful. In addition to swords, guns, swords, and halberds, equestrian and rope skills are the most effective. The rope technique is similar to tightrope walking, except that there was no tightrope at the time, but ropes.
The red lady is not the oldest in the Deyi class, she has just passed her twentieth birthday. She is not the most senior, after all, there are two uncles in the team. It was only because of the Red Lady's excellent kung fu and general knowledge that he was promoted to the head of the team after the death of the Red Lady's master.
Although the red lady is the character of the children of the rivers and lakes, her appearance is like a flower. For this reason, there was a light son who wanted to tease her, but he was taught a hard lesson by the red lady. The red lady knows that the rivers and lakes are sinister, so she has always paid attention to speech, good behavior, and doing it right. But to irrelevant people, she always looks cold, but in fact, she is a very enthusiastic person.
Gradually, under the leadership of the Red Lady, the Deyi class became a little famous, and the Red Lady was called the Red Lady because she loved to wear a red dress, she was actually surnamed Li, and her maiden name was Yue'e.
On that day, I took a boat at the ferry and found Li Guo and Xiao Zabu who were drowning. The red lady was moved by compassion, so she ordered the captain to save Li Guo and the others.
Li Guo's injuries were serious, so the red lady ordered someone to carry Li Guo to nearby Bai County. He treated Li Guo in Bai County.
At that time, Li Guo's sanity was not yet sober. Little Zabu cried bitterly on the side.
The red lady comforted Xiao Zabu on the side and said, "It's okay, your father won't die." ”
But I heard that Xiao Zabu kept calling Li Guo Li Daddy. He asked curiously, "Isn't this your own father?" ”
"No, my own father is dead, and it has been Daddy Li who has been supporting me for the past few years. If I hadn't fallen into the water, how could Daddy Li have anything to do with him in order to save me? Daddy Lee! You can't die! Whining~! Xiao Zabu remembered the situation when Li Guo saved himself, and cried even more sadly.
The red lady has lost her father and mother since she was a child, and she and Xiao Zabu can be regarded as having the same fate, and when she heard Zabu crying, her heart was also sour. He was raised by his own master. In her eyes, the master was not much different from her father. And seeing that Zabu values his father Li so much, presumably this surnamed Li must also be a kind-hearted person.
It's just that Zabu didn't say Li Guo's name, although they all called him Xiao Zabu, but after all, he was also a teenager and a half-year-old, and he also knew how to protect Li Guo's safety, and refused to confide a little information about Li Guo.
Li Guo also quickly came to his senses, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Zabu and a girl in red who was like a flower. After figuring out what happened, Li Guo sincerely said some words of thanks to the red lady, and then thought about leaving. However, Li Guo found that he couldn't move.
"I didn't expect you to be an anxious person!" The red lady smiled, since this surnamed Li is not a bad guy, he is a good person. The red lady's face is naturally not cold.
"Thank you girl for saving her life, and I will repay you in the future. However, I have something important to do. Can't stay longer. Li Guo was anxious, he was afraid that something would happen to Nie Xin.
"Good! Let's go. Are you gone? The doctor has already said that you can't walk half a step now. Unless you want to be a cripple! The red lady glanced at Li Guo.
Li Guo sighed, he just moved his legs, and he really couldn't walk.
"Don't sigh, don't think we really like to keep you. If it weren't for the fact that your adopted child talked about you, we wouldn't have made a lot of effort! By the way, what's your name? The red lady asked.
Li Guo didn't know how these people were, and of course he wouldn't tell the truth, "My name is Li Eighteen." ”
The red lady nodded, "Okay, Li 18, you can follow us, and when you are injured, you can go and take care of yourself." I only helped you when I met your troubles, so I don't need to say those words of gratitude in the future. ”
Li Guo couldn't move again, so he had to do so, and secretly ordered Zabu to write down the marks in several obvious places.
However, a few days later, news came that the Ming army was searching for the whereabouts of the red lady of the Deyi class.
In fact, those Ming soldiers are Nie Xin and Zhang Ding, and it is more convenient to change into Ming army's clothes after all. But Li Guo was shocked, thinking that the Ming army knew that he was not dead and wanted to kill him.
The red lady was surprised when she heard that Youming Jun was looking for her, she hadn't done anything illegal, why did she look for herself? So, the Red Lady gathered the people of the Deyi class together, and after everyone's discussion, the Red Lady decided to leave this place without messing with those officials and soldiers. So, the Deyi class was cautious and silent all the way, and marched to the east of Kaifeng.
Therefore, Nie Xin, Zhang Ding and others not only couldn't find Li Guo, but even the news of the Red Lady was gone.
Li Guo couldn't help himself, so he could only follow the red lady.
After about a month, although Li Guo did not recover, he was able to move with a stick and stumble. Seeing that all the people in the Deyi class worked hard to make money for a living, Li Guo was embarrassed to stay, and helped the Deyi class to do a simple chores, mainly cooking.
Actually, cooking is agreed by the red lady, and that's just because of a grain of rice.
The meals in the Deyi class are very simple, the main food is mixed noodles and steamed buns, and then make some batter porridge or cook some brown rice porridge. Originally, the cook was a great young man, the younger brother of the red lady, and his nickname was Sancheng.
Sancheng doesn't like to cook, and he is naturally a little fussy about things he doesn't like to do.
On this day, Sancheng was washing rice by the well, and Li Guo happened to pass by, and Zabu was supporting him.
Li Guo suddenly stopped, limped to Sancheng's side, bent down, and picked up a grain of rice on the ground.
"Sancheng, look how careless you are, you dropped a grain of rice!" Li Guo brushed the grain of rice and put it in the pot.
Sancheng was not happy to cook, but when he saw Li Guo pointing fingers at him, he couldn't help but get angry, "I want you to take care of it!" You don't do any work for a day, we feed you in vain, where is your irresponsible part? ”
Before Li Guo could answer, Zabu's eyes widened angrily, "Hmph! What's wrong with my father Li not working? Tell you the truth, it is your blessing to serve my father Li! My father Li is very capable! You still don't know how many people my Daddy Li has, they don't talk about cooking, they can just give their lives to Daddy Li! ”
"Just brag! Your father Li is so powerful, how did you become this bear? "Three-in-one.
"You!"
Li Guo hurriedly persuaded the two of them, "Okay, okay, don't argue!" It doesn't matter who I am. Sancheng, I just feel distressed when I see the waste of food. ”
"Daddy Li, don't worry about such trivial matters, in Guangxi, we didn't eat that meal very well! You can recuperate in peace. Zab said.
"Zabu, this is not a trivial matter! As the saying goes, the people take food as the sky, and people can't live without food. Food is hard-won, it is exchanged for sweat, even a grain of grain cannot be wasted! Li Guo said with emotion: "Over the years, I have traveled north and south, and the people everywhere I have gone have a hard life, and I have a deeper understanding of food." In the future, we can really achieve great things, and we must not let the people go hungry! And not to waste! ”
Li Guo patted Zabu, "Zabu, do you remember the poem "Min Nong"? ”
Zabu smiled, "Daddy Li, how could I not remember, this poem you made every one of our brothers memorize the melons and ripe it." ”
Li Guo smiled and read: "
On the afternoon of hoeing day,
Sweat drops down the soil.
Who knows the Chinese food on the plate,
Every grain is hard. ”
This scene was seen by the red lady, and she secretly nodded to Li Guo, and her good impression of Li Guo was another layer. This person named Li Eighteen is a little arrogant, but he knows how to cherish it.
During these days, every time the red lady secretly observes, she will find that this lofty temperament called Li Eighteen is unconsciously and naturally germinated from the inside out! Although he is not as good as Pan An, he is also dignified, who is he? (To be continued......)
