Chapter XXIV

As soon as Han Feng was about to speak, Shopkeeper Xu entered the house: "It's time to eat." ”

Geng Yue's face sank, and she followed behind Han Feng with a dark face.

When she went out, Geng Yue found that the shopkeeper Xu didn't even take the dishes and chopsticks.

Feeling that Shopkeeper Xu glanced at him, Geng Yue looked at Han Feng.

Han Feng immediately realized that something was wrong, and immediately walked into the kitchen and served the meal into the main hall.

Geng Yue sat at the dinner table, thinking that if this was really the first time she saw her in-laws, she would have to break it.

Shopkeeper Xu didn't say anything about Geng Yue in front of Han Feng, Geng Yue picked up the dishes and chopsticks, didn't pretend to be any etiquette or anything like that, and ate the food on the table.

The dinner table was surprisingly quiet, except that Geng Yue could always feel the seemingly absent gaze of the shopkeeper Xu when he fell on him.

After finishing the meal, Han Feng was about to go to brush the dishes, the water in winter was cold and biting, Geng Yue was naturally reluctant to brush Han Feng: "I know where there is hot water, let me come." ”

So much so that the matter of washing the dishes fell on Geng Yue's head.

The two men were still talking in the room.

Geng Yue faced a pile of pots and pans and let out a long sigh.

Thinking of how hard it was before the original owner, after all, she was a young lady of everyone, and she didn't cook for everyone every day.

If it weren't for some emotion, Geng Yue threw the handkerchief in his hand into the water.

She is even more determined not to want to be a cook who has to be skewered around a firewood pot every day.

But for now, she's decided to put up with it for a day.

Geng Yue fell asleep in the warm room, and the small stove in the room had been extinguished the next morning, so the whole house looked much colder.

Geng Yue stretched out her waist and stretched out her arm from the bed, it was not yet dawn outside the window, and she decided to take a nap.

There was a knock on the door, and Geng Yue hurriedly asked vigilantly, "Who?" ”

Shopkeeper Xu is old, so he has the habit of getting up early.

After two walks around the courtyard, he felt hungry.

Standing in front of the door, he put on a cotton robe and said to Geng Yue: "Miss Geng Yue, are you awake, I came to you to tell you, don't forget to make breakfast, stay up early in the morning, and make two side dishes." You don't have to be too busy, call me when you're cooking, and I'll burn the stove for you. ”

When Geng Yue heard this, she was so angry that she burrowed her head into the warm quilt, hummed and kicked the quilt.

Gritting his teeth, he whispered: "Do it, let people get up and cook before dawn!" ”

Forced to get up from the bed, she was shivering from the cold when she was dressing, got out of bed in cotton shoes, pushed open the door and was blown into the house by the cold wind from the pavement.

Holding her arms, Geng Yue trembled twice in the room, stomped her feet hurriedly, and ran into the kitchen with her head down.

Then the rice was washed, and after the meat was cut, she went to find the shopkeeper Xu.

knocked on the door a few times, and knocked out the shopkeeper Xu directly.

Facing the shopkeeper Xu, Geng Yue smiled at him: "Uncle Xu, the rice has been washed and the vegetables have been cut, let's go cook together." ”

Shopkeeper Xu agreed neatly, then walked into the kitchen, squatted beside the stove, and tapped the flint with both hands: "You see, this flint and steel should be knocked like this, and then the withered grass should be lit first, all of which must be learned." ”

Geng Yue didn't learn, but applauded the shopkeeper Xu: "You are so powerful, if it weren't for you, we'd not even be able to eat." ”

The stove had already been lit, and the shopkeeper Xu was just about to speak, Geng Yue put oil in the pot, and then threw the meat in.

banged on the iron pot, burying the voice of the shopkeeper Xu under the sound of the iron pot.

The three of them had another breakfast, and this time Geng Yue went back to the room to sleep after eating.

Lying in the cold quilt, she heard the shopkeeper Xu say to Yu Wenyin vigorously: "The old slave is here, the old slave is not tired." ”

She rolled her eyes, and she was really disdainful of the two faces of the shopkeeper Xu.

I don't know who washed the dishes and chopsticks in the end, Geng Yue arrived at noon and consciously went to the kitchen to cook, she had just prepared the ingredients.

Han Feng was disposing of horse manure, and then the two of them heard a knock on the door.

The old shopkeeper ran out of the room, and stood in the courtyard with his trembling head to listen.

He now had a frightened attitude towards any knock on the door.

The three of them were all quiet at this moment, especially Geng Yue looking at Han Feng, she wished that Han Feng could be hidden in situ in the corridor now.

"Open the door! Shopkeeper Xu, I know you're in there! ”

Geng Yue looked at the shopkeeper Xu and asked silently, "What's the matter?" ”

Shopkeeper Xu's face sank, revealing a look of wanting to cry, and he glanced at the emerald jade pendant on Han Feng's waist.

Pointing to the jade pendant, he said, "I'm here to ask for money again, you two hide it quickly." ”

The door was kicked open with a bang, and before those soldiers came in, Han Feng pulled Geng Yue and hurriedly hid in the kitchen, and the two saw that there was still a lot of firewood in the kitchen, so they hid in.

As soon as the military master entered the door, he pointed to the horse that was tethered: "The horse is good, I just need a good horse to go to the battlefield, take it away for me!" ”

Shopkeeper Xu hurriedly folded his hands and bowed to the official: "Official, there is no one in this house, so you can keep this horse and be my companion." ”

'Smack-'

Shopkeeper Xu received a strong big mouth, Geng Yue couldn't hear clearly in the kitchen, she looked out from the gap in the pyre, but she didn't see anything.

"How dare you say no one!" The military master had two mustaches on his face, and pulled out the saber on his body and put it on the neck of the shopkeeper Xu.

He scolded: "A few times ago, we caught a strong man on another street, and the strong man clearly said that there were two people a few times ago, a man and a woman riding a horse to find you, and now the horse is here, so what about them!" ”

Han Feng's eyes slanted, and he only vaguely saw a figure.

Geng Yue heard it and said in a low voice: "Could it be that the person who came to want us is here?" ”

Han Feng shook his head and said in a low voice: "I didn't see the portraits of you and me on the road in Anping, presumably the news that you and I are wanted has not arrived in Anping, they should be here to arrest Zhuangding." ”

The two heard the shopkeeper Xu cry again: "I really don't know, sir, they gave me the horse, and the people ran away." ”

"You're a fool to me, aren't you?" The military master led by kicked the shopkeeper Xu to the ground: "You don't want to think about it, when you come to Anping, you don't want to ride back quickly, he will give you the horse?" ”

Shopkeeper Xu was kicked to the ground, his waist clicked, and he didn't get up for half a day.

"If you don't say it, I'll kill you."

The shopkeeper Xu is old, and these people will fight when they say they will fight, and they will kill when they say they will kill.

When Geng Yue heard this, she finally couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to rush out, she looked at Han Feng and wanted to say: I will meet them when I go out, I will catch men left and right, not women, you must not come out.

However, Han Feng saw that things were not good, so he made a decision before her.

Stuffed the jade pendant into Geng Yue's hand, held her hands and said: "You take this jade pendant, find the county order after entering the territory of Liguo, and they will settle you when the time comes, you tell them that the second prince of Liguo is in the army of Chen State, and then he finds the general and comes to save me." ”

Immediately, he looked at Geng Yue's shocked face, and an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart.

hugged Geng Yue tightly in his arms: "I seem to like you a little bit, I don't know if I can see you again after this separation, you take care of yourself along the way." ”
