Chapter 8 First Arrival in Zhoujia Village

Gu Sheng thought in his heart, his face was always light.

Yuan Bao'er looked at him cautiously and said in a low voice: "If the adults have something to do, go and get busy, I will keep more room money." If the adult has something to say, just inform the shopkeeper. ”

Gu Sheng nodded lightly.

He and her are investigating in two directions, and his identity should not be exposed, so it is better to separate.

"Be careful."

After eating her scones for three days, Gu Sheng finally found out in his conscience and gave a word of advice.

Yuan Bao'er smiled and nodded vigorously.

Gu Sheng's gaze flashed over her white teeth, and he felt that he was really like a rabbit when he smiled like this.

Seeing Gu Sheng away, Yuan Bao'er waited for a while before going downstairs.

There were no guests coming to the door early in the morning, so Yuan Baoer paid for the room with the shopkeeper for a few days before walking slowly along the market.

Most of the market was filled with vendors and passers-by in a hurry, and no one paid attention to her

She walked slowly along the street market against the wall.

On the way, I bought pancakes, rolled up the grilled skewers, and walked while eating.

In the market, that's all there is writing.

After eating the pancakes, she went to the pawnshop next to her, bought tattered clothes, and went to a nearby carriage and horse shop.

can drive in a troublesome car and horse shop, the price will not be too low, Yuan Baoer went in with the risk of being slaughtered.

When I asked, I found out that the cost of a car here was almost 150 yuan, but it was far cheaper than she thought.

She paid the bill happily and said that she wanted to be a veteran.

Seeing that she was so cool, the guy wanted to pull a repeat customer, so he really found a neat way to come over.

Zhoujia Village is not very far from Yingzhou City, and it will arrive in less than an hour.

However, Yuan Baoer had the heart to investigate, so she asked the coachman to slow down on the grounds of physical discomfort.

In return, she gave an extra ten dollars.

The money went directly into the driver's pocket.

The coachman didn't expect that he would be rewarded for such a trip, and he immediately smiled.

Whatever Yuan Baoer asked, he knew everything and said everything.

So Yuan Baoer learned that the largest village outside Yingzhou City was Zhoujia Village, and the people in a village were all surnamed Zhou, and there were clans and old people sitting in the town.

There are still six or seven Liujia villages in Lijia Village around, but many of the people in those villages have fled to the past, there is no serious sect master, and things are also managed by the village chief and the chief.

Yuan Bao'er saw that he knew so much, and he had the heart to inquire about his daughter-in-law's house who ate eggs and died.

But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.

In the past, my grandfather said that she only spoke three points to the outside world, and she only had to say five points in ordinary times, and her friends could speak seven points at most, and her relatives could speak ten points.

She and the coachman have only just met, and they are more enthusiastic, but they are only general.

So Yuan Bao'er put on a smiling face and listened carefully with her head sideways.

When the coachman saw her cheering like this, he spoke more and more vigorously.

When he got out of the car, he was still unsatisfied, thinking that it was rare to be valued by a scholar, so he turned to ask Yuan Bao'er, "Xiao Langjun still wants to go back?" ”

"I want it," Yuan Bao'er said with a smile: "But I want to come here to travel, but when I go back, I will have to bother my brother." ”

As she spoke, she handed over some copper plates, which were regarded as a reward.

The coachman hurriedly waved his hand, "Don't you dare, you've given it all." ”

"These are thanks to my brother for solving a puzzle all the way, I have no long things, so I have to offer tea money, and please don't dislike it."

Yuan Baoer said it politely, and the coachman felt both happy and decent.

He has been in the city for some years, and he knows that some exquisite people will be like this.

After collecting the money, he arched his hand and drove away.

Yuan Bao'er smiled and watched him walk away completely, and then the cat went to the bottom of the official road, changed into the tattered clothes prepared in the morning, tore his hair, blackened his head and face, and dragged his steps to the village.

It was dinner, and there was a faint smoke over the village.

Although Yuan Bao'er had already eaten breakfast, she still felt a little hungry at this time.

Standing at the entrance of the village, she didn't know the direction, so she looked for a more fragrant direction, picked up a stone, and walked all the way, painting all the way.

A woman came out to pour water, and when she saw Yuan Bao'er's face raw, she looked like she was fleeing from the famine, and she looked around, so she said, "Xiaolang, where are you looking for?" ”

Yuan Bao'er was thinking about how to break into the inside, and when she heard this, she said, "I'm looking for my aunt." ”

When she said this, she was shaky and hungry.

The woman measured up and down, and saw that although she was down, she still behaved in a good manner, not like a wandering idler, so she said: "Who is your aunt's surname, and who is she married to?" ”

"The surname is Liu, the nickname is Hui Niang, I married in the first twenty years, my uncle's surname is Zhou, and I am the third. My aunt wrote to her that her home was in Zhoujia Village, on the edge of Yingzhou, "I inquired, and only here is the surname Zhou." ”

Yuan Bao'er said timidly.

The woman smiled.

This is indeed Zhoujia Village, yes.

This kid has a nose and eyes, and it doesn't look like a lie.

But she thought about it for a while, and she didn't remember whose daughter-in-law's surname was Liu.

"Xiao Lang, don't worry, you go into the house to drink saliva, and when I come back, I'll help you ask."

The woman had a good heart, and when she saw that her mouth was dry, she turned sideways and signaled.

"Thank you, thank you, lady," Yuan Bao'er bowed again and again, learning from the way the tenant children at home thanked her.

The woman groaned and quickly dragged her up.

Seeing that her hands were dirty, as if they were dragged out of the soil, she hurriedly said, "Come here and wash your hands first." ”

Yuan Bao'er followed her to the courtyard and stood still honestly.

The woman fetched water to sign.

Yuan Bao'er immediately squatted down and stretched out her hand far away.

This was the usual behavior of the peasant family, and the woman did not care.

She poured water on Yuan Bao'er's hand, and couldn't help but be a little surprised to see her skin turn white visibly.

You must know that the children of the Zhuang family are all playing on the ridges, and each of them is tanned like a black monkey.

Fair-skinned like this, almost nothing.

Yuan Bao'er seemed to notice her gaze and hurriedly hid her hand back.

The woman smiled, withdrew her inquiring gaze, and went back to the kitchen.

But after getting in, she peeked in and found that the child was just standing there honestly, not moving.

She thought about it, but finally brought out some food.

"There's nothing good to eat, but don't dislike it."

The woman brought half a bowl of steamed rice and a plate of black pickles.

"Thank you, sister," Yuan Bao'er smiled shyly, carefully took the chopsticks, squatted down and began to eat.

The woman tilted her head to look at her, and saw that she was no different from a peasant child, whether she was squatting or behaving, so she let go of some speculation.

Yuan Bao'er was really hungry, but she knew better that now was the best time for her to win people's sympathy.

As a demon who has been coquettish with her grandfather since she was a child, she knows very well what kind of posture she is more pitiful.

She quickly and politely ate all the food, leaving most of the pickles, and quickly pushed it back, "This can be eaten next time." ”

She said very quietly, but she was very sensible, her big eyes were shining, and she seemed to be reluctant, which made people feel pity.
