"The students haven't seen my dad and don't know what his name is."

Cao Ergou lowered his head, and there was resentment in his voice that he had not yet learned to hide.

"My mother said that he was a soldier, his hometown was attacked by bandits, homeless, came to Niujia Village to join his brothers on the battlefield, met my mother halfway, and bought a piece of land here with the reward money in exchange for military merits and lived here."

In just one sentence, the ins and outs are basically clarified, and it can be seen that this child doesn't know how many times he has thought about the father he has never met in his heart.

"Did your dad die?" The hero asked again.

Cao Ergou was quiet for a while and said, "I don't know." Before I was born, he went to war again and never came back. ”

Ten years ago, was there any war in Frost State?

The hero thought about it, but he didn't think about it, but he didn't take it to heart, he just thought that he hadn't learned history well.

"Huh? That's not right! If your father never came back, where did your sister come from? ”

The question blurted out, and the hero immediately regretted it, this kind of question involves privacy, and it is immoral to ask casually.

Cao Ergou didn't feel anything, raised his face and said with a smile: "My sister was picked up by a student, and it's in this river." ”

The child pointed to the stream next to the village, his face full of pride and pride. The warm sunlight poured down, washing the hero's body and mind clean.

This is really a very good kid.

Cao Ergou's house is on the edge of the village, with only one mud and straw hut in a simple and dilapidated fence wall.

A man is laying new thatch on the roof, and the hero looks fixedly, hey, it's actually Motu.

"Mr. Mo!"

Cao Ergou bowed to the roof first, and then ran into the courtyard and shouted: "Mother, mother, Mr. Ying is here!" ”

The hero stood at the door of the fence with his hands behind his back, looking up at Mo Tu and smiling and winning.

Mo Tu continued to work with an unnatural expression, "You...... How did it come? ”

"You've come to the right place!" The hero answered the question.

Mo Tu was silent, and when he looked closely, he seemed to have a trace of red on his face.

"Mr. Ying! Quick, sit in the house! ”

Cao E came out of the house and wiped her hands in a panic.

"Don't bother, just be in the courtyard, it's cool. Don't make any tea, what he drinks, what I drink. ”

Pointing to Mo Tu, the hero sat on a small bench in the courtyard, and when he saw a handful of black and yellow hair sticking out from behind the door, he smiled and said, "Big girl, you still want rabbits...... Uh, toad? ”

Cao Daya's whole head was exposed, and she bit her fingers and said, "Don't want it." My mother said that the toad was very valuable and wouldn't let me play. ”

"Dead Nizi, what are you talking about?" Glaring at her daughter, Cao E brought a bowl of water to the hero, "Sir, don't get it for her again, I went home and found that it was a large piece of silver, and I was almost scared to death!" ”

"What is there to be afraid of? I asked for the child's sheep, and I should have given her a silver leaf. Moreover, Ergou works very hard in the school palace, and the gentlemen like him very much, saying that he will have no problem in the future, and it is a matter of time before the glory of the ancestors, and the wealth is rolling, what is a silver leaf? ”

The hero took a sip of water and found that honey was specially added to it, and the sweetness actually tasted good.

Hearing that the child was praised by Mr., Cao E didn't mention how happy she was, she blushed and waved her hand again and again, and thanked the gentlemen for their cultivation while being humble.

At this time, Mo Tu jumped from the roof. Cao E peeked at him, lowered her head, said I'm going to cook, and hurried back to the house.

The hero clearly saw the light in Mo Tu's eyes go out.

What's the situation? The falling flowers are intentional, and the flowing water is ruthless?

After smoking a few thatches casually, he leaned closer and asked Mo Tu, "What's the matter with you?" Is it because you are too ugly that people look down on you? ”

Mo Tuqiang resisted the urge to stab him to death, "You have a dirty mind, don't ruin the reputation of others." ”

"Cut! Look at your little bit of talent. The hero pouted, "My Fair Lady, good gentleman." It's not something to be ashamed of. Her husband is a race to ...... Phew, they've been missing for ten years, what are you afraid of? ”

Mo Tu was silent for a moment and looked into the depths of the village: "People are terrible. I can't put Cao E's mother and son in an unrighteous situation because of my thoughts. ”

"Well, that's like a gentleman's words." The hero nodded, "But it's not a way for you to pay so silently!" Orphans and widows, there is always a man who comes to work at home, gossiping and slandering something, it is estimated that there has been a long time ago!

If you want me to say, instead of being so vague, it's better to find out and see what she thinks in her heart.

If it is interested in you, then you can go back to Mr. Xuegong to help you be a matchmaker and bring people to Xuegong; If people really don't look down on you, you will die of this heart, and I will help you find a beautiful daughter-in-law when you go back. ”

Mo Tu hesitated and shook his head: "I'll think about it again, let's talk about it when I come back from Ganliang County!" ”

The hero laughed: "I said why can't you let go of it so much in Zuixianglou, your feelings are already full in your heart."

Cao E can educate Ergou and Daya so well, she is obviously a good woman, as soon as she gets married, she has both children and daughters, you kid has made a lot of money! ”

As he spoke, he squatted down and used the grasshopper he had braided in his hand to "lure" Cao Daya, who was afraid of life.

"Come, this time it's not a valuable toad, take it first, uncle...... Big brother will make you a little rabbit again, definitely not like a toad rabbit. ”

Cao Daya couldn't resist the temptation of toys, walked out, and happily stood aside with grasshoppers, watching the hero make rabbits.

Mo Tu's eyes were full of envy, but it was a pity that he didn't even know how to coax women, let alone children, he had been here more than a dozen times, and Cao Daya was still afraid of him.

Cao Ergou came out with a vole and a knife, bowed to them and said, "The two gentlemen are seated, and the students will go to the stream to peel the skin." ”

"Go ahead! Be careful not to cut your hands. ”

The child has the willingness to do it, and the hero thinks that it should be encouraged, and looking at Cao Ergou's appearance, he is obviously familiar with the road.

"Cao, I'm back in the school palace." Mo Tu suddenly spoke.

"Huh? Mr. Mo, sit down a little longer, the meal will be ready soon. Cao E hurriedly walked out.

"No, there's still something going on in the Academy." Mo Tu walked out of the fence gate, paused, and said, "Recently, I have to go on a long trip, and it will take at least half a year or so to come back."

During this period, if there is anything that needs people, just go to the school palace and mention my name. ”

After speaking, without waiting for Cao E to respond, Mo Tu strode away, without looking back, and the hero who watched shook his head.

Cao E subconsciously chased to the fence wall, opened her mouth, but didn't say anything, just looked at his back, with a little reluctance in her eyes and a deep sense of guilt.

It seems that the flowing water also has love! It's just that what the hell is this sorry for? Is she still thinking about her missing husband?

No, if she really remembered, she wouldn't let the child take her last name.

The hero couldn't figure it out, but it was not easy to ask directly, so he could only continue to weave rabbits for Cao Daya.

After a while, when the rabbit was about to be braided, Cao Daya suddenly let out an exclamation, and then the hero felt a weight on his shoulders.

I don't know where to go.

He was just about to appease Cao Daya when he heard the woman's scolding sound from outside the courtyard.

"The wild fox who stole the chicken ran into the house of the slut surnamed Cao, right there, quick, kill it!"
