Chapter 181: Four People (1)
It's the height of summer in July! The sun is like a big furnace, throwing endless heat, scorching the land of Xuzhou! Even the big trees with dense foliage on the roadside were slumped by the scorching sun, listless, the branches and leaves drooped lifelessly, only a few cicadas, and endless noise!
At this time, it is noon, the weather is too hot, it is said that pedestrians will rest, take a break, and escape the heat by the way, but there are two pedestrians, but it is different! They, under the scorching sun, each wore a straw hat, and they still walked like tigers!
The man on the left, in his twenties, eight feet tall, with a majestic physique, muscles on his body, and bulging white linen clothes. He carried a spear in his hand and a burden on his back.
This person's nose is like a hanging gall, his lips are greased, his two sword eyebrows, and his big eyes look extremely spiritual! This handsome face that is handsome enough to make women crazy and men crazy, coupled with his majestic physique, makes the whole person masculine and gentle.
Wiping the beads of sweat from his head, he sighed and said, "Can you catch up with the end today?" ”
The man next to him was also a young man in his twenties, not as handsome as the man next to him, nor as majestic as the man next to him, but when the two stood together, he would never be ignored! His restrained spirit, his bookish energy, and the occasional burst of light from his eyes made him often get more attention than the people around him!
Hearing this, he wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, let out a long breath, and said, "It's hard for me to see!" We, well, I'm a little tired, let's find a place, take a break, and drink some water by the way, shall we? ”
The man nodded, looked back and forth, and said, "Here, there is no village in front of the village, there is no shop in the back, where can you rest?" ”
The scribe also looked at the surroundings, shook his head speechlessly for a while, and said, "There is not even a fork in the road, who knew that there would be a place to rest?" Let's go for a walk! Call...... I had diarrhea last night, if not, I won't lose to you! ”
The man nodded slightly, smiled, and said, "I know!" Hehe, except for martial arts, you don't obey me, but ...... Hehe, good martial arts, good natural physical strength, this matter, you and me, really can't compare! ”
The scribe rolled his eyes and said, "Show off, you show off!" Alright, stop talking nonsense, let's get moving! Although he was not convinced, he had to admit in his heart that the man's physical strength and martial arts were beyond his reach! He was empty-handed, and the other party was carrying the burden of two people, and his seemingly ordinary spear weighed more than forty pounds!
The man bowed his head slightly and said no more!
The two continued on their way, and after a quarter of an hour, there was still no fork in the road!
The scribe was a little anxious, and he said, "You can't be so unlucky, right?" Do we have to go back? "When they were just talking, there was a fork in the road about a mile behind them, and there should be a village where they could rest and drink! It's a pity that he is so strong that he is not willing to go back!
The man didn't speak, squinted his eyes, and carefully looked at the nearby farmland!
Irrigation is inconvenient here, and crops that require a lot of water, such as rice, cannot be planted, and at this time, soybeans, millet and other things are planted in the field! These crops, also listless from the sun, are curled.
After a while, his eyes lit up, and about a mile ahead, he saw a farmer working in the field!
He said, "There's someone ahead, let's go, let's ask for directions!" ”
The scribe squinted in the direction he was pointing and looked for a long time, but he saw only the steaming heat everywhere, but there was no human figure in sight! Shaking his head, he had to give up, his eyes had never caught up with him...... If not, he wouldn't be able to practice archery badly, and the man's archery skills .........,
The two men said no more, and headed in the direction of the peasant.
When they were still a hundred paces away from the farmer, they saw that the farmer stopped what he was doing, crossed his waist, moved his back, twisted his neck again, raised his head, looked up to the sky, and shouted: "At noon on the day of hoeing, sweat drops fall into the soil." Who knows that Chinese food is hard work! ”
The very characteristic broken gong voice came out far away!
When the man heard this, he couldn't help but smile, this farmer is really interesting! When I was tired from work, I didn't forget to recite poetry when I was resting!
When the scribe heard this, he almost fell to the ground! This farmer is such a wonderful man! The voice is unique enough, the behavior is unique enough, but ...... This short poem, really good!
In just a few sentences, the hardships of farmers are vividly described, and people are advised to cherish food and not waste it! Well, it has the flavor of Tian Boguang's "Acacia"!
Could it be that you have met a master? At this time, the world is in turmoil, and many learned people are living in seclusion in the mountains and forests.
But, no! This is just a peasant, he doesn't know the meaning of this poem at all, otherwise, he would not have chanted this poem at this time!
Because...... What he hoeed was obviously beans, not seedlings at all......
Thinking about this, he smiled and kept up with the man's footsteps.
In a short time, the two of them had already come to the land, and the man shouted to the peasant, "This big brother, we are passers-by, and we want to ask for some water to drink, and to rest our feet by the way, may I ask, where are there villages and towns?" ”
When the peasant heard the voice, he followed the voice, and saw a scribe and a great man standing on the ground.
He looked at the bean field under his feet and nodded in satisfaction, well, it's almost time to hoe, it's time to go home! In fact, this land has only been hoeed a little bit at all......
After thinking about it, he picked up his hoe and walked towards the ground!
After a while, he swayed and walked to the two of them!
He didn't speak, just looked the two up and down, and the two didn't speak, looking at him!
I saw that the peasant was dressed in a silk shirt, a straw hat made of sorghum millet on his head, a pair of coarse linen trousers on the bottom, and a pair of straw sandals on his feet......
This inappropriate dress suddenly made the two of them almost squirt! Who is this man?
So much so that the two of them didn't even pay attention to the appearance of this peasant!
The peasant man has no characteristics, just black and thin, with a lot of wrinkles on his face, and a messy beard, as if he hasn't washed it for several months, and looks like he is seventy or eighty, but looking at his straight waist, he will definitely not be seventy or eighty years old! Also, as soon as they approached him, the two of them suddenly felt a strong smell of urine coming to their nostrils! It's good that they know the truth and don't show it!
The peasant looked at them for a long time, until he saw the spear in the man's hand, and then he put his head on the ground, and said with a fist: "Two little brothers, you are looking for water to drink, right?" ”
The two were immediately flattered, they really didn't expect that this farmer would perform such a salute!
After returning the salute, the man said politely: "This big brother, we are passers-by, thirsty, and want to ask for a sip of water to drink!" ”
The farmer nodded and said, "Two little brothers, please come with me, I will take you to Tunli, there is water there!" Please! ”
As he spoke, he made a gesture of please, and led the way in front of him!
The two of them were a little dizzy, this farmer was really interesting, he didn't even know what other people's surnames were, so he took them home?
Shaking their heads, the two followed the farmer!
The peasant didn't speak, but ...... will suddenly roar in his throat, and its content is just "hoeing day at noon", or "who knows the plate of Chinese food", or "every grain is hard" and so on! Sometimes, there will be four sentences in a row, just ...... That order is a bit messy, not always the order that the two of them first heard! So much so that later, both of them doubted which order should the four sentences of this poem be, who came first and who came last? …,
An incomprehensible old man!
Finally, after walking for about five miles, they came to a small village in the yelling of the peasants "hoeing the day of the day, the grains are hard, who knows the Chinese food, the sweat drops the soil", they came to a small village!
The two of them let out a sigh of relief, this old man is too torturous!
As soon as they entered the village, the two immediately realized that something was wrong! Because, in this village, there are almost no old people and children, and there are not many women, most of them are men in the prime of life!
Coming and going, those smiling men, when they saw this old man, they would respectfully shout, "Chief Chen Tun!" ”
The old man nodded very hungrily in response!
The two of them weren't worried, with their skills, they couldn't stop a hundred or ten people, but they were curious, what kind of village was this?
After a while, the scribe suddenly realized: "I understand! This village is a village of Mintun! ”
The man was stunned when he heard this, and after carefully looking at the things around him, he also showed a face of sudden realization!
In the village, there are about forty families, and in each small courtyard, at the door of the thatched hut, there are spears, broadswords and other weapons! Yes, I have long heard that Xuzhou has Tuntian, Juntun, and Mintun, it seems that this is indeed a small village in Mintun!
Thinking of this, the two of them were relieved, it was better that they had not been deceived into the den of thieves!
In the eyes of the people, the two were taken to his home by that Chen Tunchang!
Before I entered the door, I heard Chen Tunchang shouting: "Mother-in-law, come out to pick up guests!" ”
The two of them almost choked to death by this sentence! What is pick-up? If you can't speak human language, can't you say "welcome"?
However, the woman who walked out of the house surprised these two people!
This is a woman in her thirties, with a delicate face, mature and charming, a plump body, walking like a lotus wind swinging willows, making people's hearts itch!
Her appearance is actually not extremely beautiful! It's just that five points of beauty, plus three points of charm, coupled with those natural eyes that can hook people, and her mature and plump body, suddenly made her a complete beauty! Or, call it a stunner!
The woman had a cold face, a straight face, crossed her waist, and screamed at the old man: "You dead ghost, where did you die?" Liu Tunchang, who is in the tunzi in the east, said that he was looking for you to go to the gelding, but he couldn't find you! Can't get by this day? Yes? ”
In an instant, the beautiful image of the woman that had just formed in the hearts of the scribes and men...... Collapsed!
The old man was yelled at by the woman, but remembering the two guests behind him, he suddenly straightened his waist, crossed his waist with his left hand, pointed his right thumb back, and said loudly: "Mother-in-law, don't you see any guests coming?" Why don't you go and entertain yet? ”
The woman also saw the scribe and the man at this time, remembering that she had been seen by them just now, her face was a little unnatural, she smiled charmingly, saluted the two, and said, "Excuse me, two guests!" Our family affairs, let you see! Come on, come on, come into the house, hehe, this sun is too poisonous, come in and rest! Hehe, the slave family will go find some water for you, quench your thirst first! ”
After speaking, she glared at the old man and whispered: "If there are guests, I will give you face, hum, I will clean you up at night!" ”
The man and the scribe glanced at each other, and said in their hearts, this couple is really two living treasures!
PS: Has anyone guessed who these two are?
