The stuffy man led the mule out of the woods, looked at the way up the mountain, gave up the car, turned back to Fang Mingyuan and said, "Uncle, the road is narrow." ”

What? Fang Mingyuan was still confused, did he speak? What did you say?

When you open your eyes and look at the mountain road, you can brew it on your forehead! Is this the road? Turning around and shouting at the back: "Walk slowly with the livestock, the road is narrow, be careful not to overturn!" ”

There were only four bags of grain on their mule cart, which were fine grains that Dong Xiaoying bought in the county seat. On the cattle cart behind, the new wheat and the new flour that each family had beaten down and ground were not willing to eat along the way.

The migratory grain issued by the Yamen has been eaten until now, and there are still hundreds of catties!

It was not that the yamen sent a lot of grain, but at the beginning, the chickens, ducks, geese, dogs, and pigs of each family were killed, and there was meat to eat, but there was little dry food.

Then eat the dry food made by each family, and if you want to save water, you can't move the grain bag to steam the bun.

When the weather is hot and there is a lack of water, people lose their appetite and the food consumption is slow. In this way, if you say less than four bags of grain a day, it is more than 200 catties, and everyone saves half of the food and rushes.

Not long after walking up the mountain, Chang'an woke up from a bump, opened his eyes and looked at the sky, wondering if he could add a shock absorber to the car?

Fang Yue woke up, frowning and looking at the sky, feeling as if he was suffering from motion sickness.

Turning a corner, Boring saw a large flat land in front of him, with horses tied to the mountains and forests beside the road, and the people sitting around on the flat ground were all practitioners.

"Uncle!"

Fang Mingyuan also saw the person in front of him, and when he heard the boring man calling him, he thought it was an auditory hallucination!

"Huh? Well? What's the matter? ”

The stuffy man whispered: "Hard stubble! ”

What? What tea? You should say two more words when the time comes!

The stuffy man had already turned his head and walked seriously with the mule, giving Fang Mingyuan this discomfort.

There was a large stone on the flat ground, and an old lady with gray temples was wearing a coarse cloth gown with a diagonal placket, gray coarse cloth trousers with fat legs, and the shoes on her feet were men's thick-soled linen shoes.

Next to the old lady stood a young man, white-looking, with big almond eyes, a high nose, two thick black eyebrows, wearing a cyan linen short, trousers tied with hemp rope, and shoes with thick soles.

Fang Mingyuan glanced at the cup in the boy's hand, pondering that these people were not ordinary, rich and noble.

Without waiting for the people on the side of the road to move, Fang Mingyuan jumped out of the car first, saluted Ning Zhong, and politely asked people for directions.

The old lady was still pondering how to go with this group of people, and when she heard Fang Mingyuan ask for directions, she laughed and said: "It's really a coincidence, we are going to Leping City, just passing through Beiding City, it doesn't matter if you don't know the road, follow us." ”

The old lady jumped off the stone neatly and walked to the second car with a smile.

"Hello old sisters!"

On the second car sat Mrs. Niu and Aunt Zhao, the daughter-in-law of the patriarch. The car followed by Fang Minghui's mother-in-law Hua Pozi, Aunt Liu, the daughter-in-law of the third uncle of the clan, Fang Mingjiang's old lady Song Pozi, and Guo Blacksmith's daughter-in-law Chen Pozi.

Aunt Zhao was older, so she greeted her first, "Where are you going, old girl?" ”

The old lady walked to the ox cart and walked forward with the ox cart, "Go to Leping City, only the old woman and grandson are left in the family, and his uncle is not at ease, so he will take us into the city to take care of us."

Alas! I don't want to go, but my grandson is young, and there is a good gentleman in the city to teach and study, and for the sake of the child, it's nothing to toss around. ”

"Oh, yes, it's the right thing for children to study." Aunt Zhao replied casually.

The old lady smiled and said: "My husband's surname is Liao, and my mother's surname is Hu, you call me Mrs. Liao, Mrs. Hu is okay, how do you call a few old sisters?" ”

Mrs. Niu looked at Aunt Zhao and took the initiative to introduce a few people around her.

When Ning Zhong packed up and gave way to the road, Mrs. Hu chatted with the old ladies hotly.

"The princess and the colt have been here for three years! You just moved with you? ”

Aunt Zhao was surprised: "The princess has been here for three years? We just posted a notice of relocation over there! ”

Mrs. Hu looked at Mrs. Niu and said, "It's amazing, she is a sensible daughter-in-law, the family heirloom treasure is used to save people, it's really bright, Sister Niu is blessed!" ”

"What a blessing, blessed is crooked on the kang!" Mrs. Niu said with a smile.

Dong Xiaoying and Fang Mingyuan glanced at each other, this old lady is not ordinary! In less than a quarter of an hour, they were all set off.

When the convoy walked up again, Mrs. Hua and Mrs. Song did not follow Mrs. Niu's car, but leaned against the mountain wall and waited for the car behind to come, so that they could sit in the car and rest for a while.

Dong Xiaoying saw Mrs. Hu get into the ox cart, and took the initiative to get out of the car and sit in the back, still holding a bowl of lotus root flour paste in her hand.

"I'm here to eat again!" Aunt Zhao's envious heart was sour, why didn't she see her daughter-in-law so filial?

Dong Xiaoying sent out the wooden spoon in her hand, "Auntie also taste it, the old lady eats it quickly, it won't taste good when it's cold, that, this aunt also tastes it, the lotus root flour is paste, and it has just been washed with hot water." ”

Mrs. Niu was worried again, "Have you eaten Fat Dun and the chick?" ”

"Eat, eat quickly, they can't be hungry." Dong Xiaoying held the bowl and motioned to Mrs. Niu not to speak, but she didn't see Aunt Zhao eating spoonful after spoonful!

"This is your Aunt Hu!" Aunt Zhao took the initiative to introduce.

Dong Xiaoying smiled, "Aunt Hu is good!" I heard that I'm going to Leping City, it's a big town, isn't it? Aunt Hu brought these old horses, did she know that there were mountain bandits on the road? ”

Mrs. Hu smiled and nodded, "There are no mountain bandits, the person who went to pick me up a while ago said that the mountain bandits let the horse master send someone to exterminate them." ”

"No more robbers?" Mrs. Niu asked rhetorically.

"Da Zhongzi, have all the mountain bandits been exterminated?" Mrs. Niu shouted Ning Zhong in front.

Ning Zhong turned around and shouted, "Yes, it's gone." Rest assured. ”

Dong Xiaoying began to chat with Mrs. Hu, you come and I test each other.

Mrs. Hu said: "Our family occupies the light of his uncle in the lobby, and my father-in-law will be a centurion until he dies, and his grandson will be promising, and he will become an old lady after his death." ”

Dong Xiaoying said: "The lotus root flour was brought back by my father from the south, and I have been reluctant to eat it. There are a lot of people brought by the aunt, and they are hired from the dart board? ”

Mrs. Hu pointed to the guards who followed and said: "They are all family members, they are all orphans, and they don't know what their surnames are. The one in front is called Ning Zhong. ”

Raising her eyes and seeing Chang'an chatting with Mrs. Hu's grandson, Dong Xiaoying's words changed, "Aunt Hu is a local, can you tell us about it, what's going on here?" ”

Don't use her words, her son is out of the horse, and Mrs. Hu's grandson is pitiful.

The old ladies whispered from head to head, "This old lady is a rich man!" You see her carriage, with sheds, and boxes behind the carriage, not ordinary wood. ”

"It must be a big family! People bring so many people out, and the cost of eating and drinking along the way is specified, and a group of strong men eat and drink! ”

Aunt Zhao raised her eyebrows and said: "Didn't people say that they took the light of the uncle's nephew, and the father-in-law became an old lady when he died, so he was designated as an official." ”

When the road widened, Mrs. Hu stretched out and asked Ning Zhong to put on the horse for the car behind.

Mrs. Niu was worried about her grandson, so she stopped for a moment and went to the front to see the child.

Chang'an was preaching with a straight face: "Stuffy, it's just right to be a bandit, I know you must be ......."

A feathered arrow flew, and the sullen raised his hand and cut off the arrow, and the tail of the feathered arrow flew forward despite being unstrengthened.

Bang!

"Fat Dun!"

"Yueyue!"
