Chapter 62: Savior
The woman saw that things were not good, and the sword was not across her neck, and she left the little official with her hands and feet as if she were fleeing.
The little official trembled, where could he take care of this woman, and couldn't stop saying: "Good man, can you keep the knife away from me, I faint ...... blood"
It was dark, and he didn't even see that my scabbard had not been removed, but it was like this first, so that it would be more convenient, and my suffering was not relaxed at all, but it was a little closer to his neck: "Unload the knife!" ”
The little official was also obedient, and immediately threw the long knife at his waist at my feet, and begged: "Woman, I don't want anything, just ask for my life." ”
I thought that these errand officers had some weapons in their hands, and their courage must be greater than others, but now they are not as good as ordinary people, and they are just relying on a dog's skin and a large number of people on weekdays, so it is nothing to bully people, and to be strong outside and do things in the middle.
I carefully picked up the knife on the ground, and turned it across his neck, after all, the unsheathed sword spirit was not as sharp as this one, I guess the little officer must regret it, but there was nothing he could do, now he didn't even have a weapon to defend himself, he just became a lamb to the slaughter.
"Looks like you didn't remember what happened last time?"
"Is that you?" As if he wanted to scream, he immediately covered his mouth with his hand and whispered to me, "You, you are from Pengyang Village......
As he spoke, he seemed to be even more scared, the last incident seemed to have left him a very uncomfortable shadow, and he was busy kneeling on the ground and kowtowing: "My aunt * grandma, I don't know what I did wrong again, and I provoked you to come, isn't it wronged?" Why don't I please, please go and have a cup of tea? ”
Today he will look at some things, it seems that force is still of some use, I nodded with satisfaction: "Last time, why did you retaliate?" ”
He was obviously speechless, and after a while, he said cautiously: "Auntie*Grandma, although the little one has sued you above, our master didn't pay attention to it at all, and we didn't dare to go again, isn't this, isn't this matter over?" ”
"But really?" I didn't think he was a liar, but he deliberately threatened, "If it's fake, I'll kill your whole family!" ”
The little official was almost about to cry, trembling like chaff, and his speech began to be unpleasant: "Where do you dare, I have seen your power, if I have half a sentence to hide, then I will be divided by five horses, and there will be no place to bury me!" ”
He didn't dare to scream, and I listened to his voice so uncomfortably that I put the knife down and threw it away, and then I left.
There was a painful voice behind him: "Auntie*Grandma, you can go, thank you~"
I scared people, but it's okay to save him from scaring people like this in the future.
It was dark, the moon was hanging in the sky, the wind was thin, and I was walking on a road without people, not knowing where to go.
When I was in a hurry, I was suddenly struck, and I noticed that an old woman was also bumping into my arms, her head bowed, her waist bent, her clothes patched on top of each other, looking very shabby.
"I'm sorry!" The old woman said in unison.
"It's fine." It's just that I didn't lose anything by crashing into my arms, she was scared like this, and I was busy comforting her, "It's okay with my mother-in-law, you don't have to be nervous." ”
But before I could say a word, her voice was a little choked, she lowered her head, and thanked her repeatedly.
Could this be the case? Without hesitation, I took out a silver ingot from my waist, put it in the old woman's hand, and said, "Mother-in-law, this is for you." ”
She took the silver and knelt down towards me: "Miss is really the savior of the old woman! ”
I picked her up and was about to leave, but she stopped me again: "Miss is my benefactor, if you don't dislike it, come to my house for a meal." ”
"No need." I'm worried about recruiting people, and I just want to go back to the inn quickly and sleep after dinner, and start looking for people tomorrow.
Who knew that this old woman was extremely polite, took my hand and said: "Miss, you are the best woman I have ever met, so please come to my house for a meal, otherwise I will lose money in my heart." ”
It's just a penalty, I don't take it to heart, but I don't want to be in the old woman's place but like the grace of recreation, look at her appearance, I can't go, then I will be a good person to the end, send the Buddha to the west, but what's the big deal about going to have a meal?
I followed the old woman for a few miles, from the center of the lively Jingzhou City to the remote alley, and I didn't know how many circles I went around, only then I saw a low thatched hut, and the silence around was terrible.
However, it was pitch black inside, and I was a little suspicious and asked, "Mother-in-law, you are alone in your house?" ”
She shook her head: "I still have a little grandchild at home. ”
So why not light the lights? It's scary to look weird. I thought to myself, but I didn't want to, the old woman seemed to know what I meant, so she pushed the door and smiled: "I'm sorry, isn't this lamp a waste candle?" Save some money, so don't order it yet. ”
It was an old lady, whose family was so poor, that she had to calculate even a small candle, and with a "creak", the door rang, and I went into the courtyard, and found that the courtyard was empty, as clean as if I had just moved in.
When I entered the room, it was also clean, I was a little strange, but when I thought of the word "four walls of the house", I was also relieved, and the old woman who had to be careful with even a candle must have no money, and it was good to be able to clean up the house like this.
As the flickering candlelight illuminated one of the huts, I began to see something clearly, a small room, with pots and pans on the east side, and a small bed with a baby lying on the west.
"This is my mother-in-law's grandson?" I walked over and took him in my arms, how could the old woman be the only one to take care of the baby that was still in swaddling clothes?
The old woman over there was not idle, although it was the sound of pots and pans, but she was still chatting with me: "I picked up this child, I was poor and couldn't even support myself, but when I saw this little guy, I liked to die, and it just so happened that the two of us were companions, and it would not be so lonely." ”
"And what does he eat?" I looked at him with a yellow face and thin muscles, not at all as bright as other dolls, and he didn't seem to have eaten anything good.
"Just eat this."
The old woman said and brought a bowl of paste, and said with a smile: "I'll feed him first, and after a while, I'll go to the small shop in front to buy some meat and vegetables, and we'll eat it again." ”
He pointed to the child and said apologetically: "This doll eats mushy and hungry fast, I have to hold on to him first." ”
"Mother-in-law, why are you crying today?" I asked.
"I'm out of food, this is the last bowl of mush, but now I don't have to worry, I have a benefactor." The old woman laughed.
I took out another ingot of silver from my body: "These are enough for you to eat and drink for a year, if it is difficult, go to Pengyang Village to inquire about He Jiuchen, and you can find me." ”
She immediately burst into gratitude, nodded, and I took the bowl in her hand: "Mother-in-law, don't worry, life will always be good, I'll feed it." ”
So, the old woman went out to buy some food, I fed the child at home, to get started, only to find that feeding the child is not so simple, after a while to get acquainted, but also tired I back pain.
The old woman came back quickly, it seemed that she had bought a lot of things, and I wanted to go up to help, but helplessly, all these years, I didn't know anything, thanks to the care of my husband, so I didn't come forward to make a mess, and I would help add food when the meal was opened for a while.
After a while, the hot meal was on the table, and the old woman handed me chopsticks: "Taste it, the meal I made is delicious!" ”
She said, put a big fat meat in my bowl, I actually don't like to eat fatty meat, but the old man seems to like it very much, and gave me what he likes, I naturally can't refuse, I ate it hard, but found that it is extraordinarily delicious, the fat is crispy, sweet but not greasy, there is a different taste, and immediately clamped a few chopsticks, but the old woman looked at it with a smile and grin, and did not eat.
Is it reluctant to eat? I looked up at her and put a chopstick into her bowl: "Mother-in-law also eats, it's delicious." ”
She still squinted and smiled, looking at me while laughing, for some reason, I felt a little creepy, and I stepped back involuntarily, and asked strangely, "Mother-in-law, what are you doing?" ”
Unexpectedly, she was still smiling, reached out and put a few chopsticks in my bowl, and said with a smile: "Eat more, eat more." ”
How could I eat the food in this situation, looking at her smiling appearance as if she was not alone with the poor old woman, I put down the dishes and chopsticks, and said, "Mother-in-law, I'm leaving." ”
As soon as I got up, she grabbed me and said with a smile: "What are you doing in such a hurry?" I haven't moved a few dishes, because I don't like what I'm cooking? ”
As she spoke, she actually blocked my way, and I pulled down my face: "Get out of the way." ”
"What are you angry about?" She was still smiling, and a pair of hands as rough as old bark touched my face, "It's not good to be angry with such a handsome face." ”
I glared at her fiercely, and felt that this old woman was definitely a little strange, so I decided to leave immediately, but he was even more aggressive, and walked quickly to the door, she blocked my way with her body, and smiled: "What are you going?" Since you're here, don't stay a while, all the dishes I make are for you to eat, and it's not a waste if you can't finish eating. ”
I said angrily, "Get out of here." ”
His hand suddenly pointed into my eyes: "Dizzy! ”
A miraculous thing happened, I felt very dizzy, and many figures appeared in front of me, and my legs were weak, and I fell to the ground.
Suddenly, the figures came towards me and held me down, and then I realized that these figures were soldiers one by one, and I was struggling, but I was in a trance, and my body had no strength at all.
I opened my eyes slightly and looked at the old woman, who seemed to be smiling treacherously at me: I had been fooled.
When I opened my eyes again, I couldn't see all around, only darkness
