Xiao Lanhuan's idea is right, after all, it is close to Hangzhou City, and it is impossible to be uninhabited in a radius of 100 miles. Xiao Lanhuan walked with Mu Qingling on his back for less than half an hour, and saw curling smoke rising from the col in front of him.

Halfway down the road, Xiao Lanwei and Mu Qingling met a farmer who was chopping wood in the mountains early in the morning, the farmer was dressed in a washed white coarse cloth, his hair was neatly tied, and he was wearing a pair of seriously worn cloth shoes on his feet, and there were no valuables around him, but he was full of energy, and he was an honest and capable person at first glance.

The farmer saw Xiao Lanhuan walking over with Mu Qingling on his back, and hurriedly shouted, "Ouch, what's wrong?" Seeing that the two of you are not ordinary children, why did you come down from the mountain at this time? ”

Xiao Lanhuan walked up to the farmer, arched his hand, and said with a smile: "This eldest brother has really good eyesight, I am the child of the Zhou family in Hangzhou City, and this is my sister." My mother went to Yunwai Temple to incense, and the two of us followed, blaming me for being ignorant, and taking my sister to wander around, but I was greedy for fun and walked into the forest and got lost. This is where Big Brother comes in. ”

As soon as the farmer heard Xiao Lanhuan say this, and saw that Xiao Lanhuan's clothes were messy, and the corners of his clothes were still stained with mud, but the material and style were not worn by ordinary people, he really thought that the son of which family was overskinned, and immediately smiled: "You young people, you dare to break into the tiger's den of Longtan with your youth, this is several miles away from Yunwai Temple, and it is difficult for you to take your sister here!" ”

The farmer looked at Mu Qingling, who was lying on Xiao Lanwei's back, and asked, "Is the girl okay?" Mu Qingling's head was dizzy now, and she smiled at the farmer and said, "Thank you for your concern, I'm fine, just a teacher...... It's just that my brother is tired to take care of me all the way, I wonder if my eldest brother can make it convenient and take me down the mountain? ”

The farmer saw that although the two were embarrassed, they were still polite and courteous, and he liked it. He packed up the firewood in front of him and put it on his back, and said, "What's this!" Let's go, go with the eldest brother, since you two have been in the mountains for the night, you must be hungry now, right? Now I can go back and catch up with your sister-in-law's breakfast! ”

The peasant family was pure-minded and hospitable, and on the way down the mountain, they chatted with Xiao Lanhuan for a few words, and they wanted to leave Xiao Lanhuan and the others to eat at home. Xiao Lanwei dealt with it while finding out where they were now.

As the farmer said, they are now far away from Yunwai Temple, and even Xujiazhen has been left behind them. The village at the foot of the mountain is called Wangjia Village, and the farmer who led the way is surnamed Wang Minggui, and Xiao Lanwei called Wang Da Ge one by one. Mu Qingling was dizzy and listened to it funny, I don't know how this Wang Gui would feel if he learned that the person who called him eldest brother at this time was the prince of the dynasty.

"Brother Wang, if you want to go back to Hangzhou, how long will it take?" Xiao Lanwei asked.

Wang Gui walked in front, afraid that it would be inconvenient for Xiao Lanhuan to carry people on his back, and he also intimately kicked the stones on the mountain road away with his feet, "It's not far away, and there are people in the village who have to go to Hangzhou every two days to do business." If you catch the car, you will be there in half a day. ”

Xiao Lanwei calculated the distance, now he doesn't know what happened to the group that attacked Yunwai Temple last night, and he doesn't know if there are any chasing soldiers behind him, and now the top priority is to hurry back to Hangzhou, otherwise let alone Chang Lin, Yu Wenyuan will be so anxious that his eyebrows will burn.

With Wang Gui leading the way, going down the mountain is much easier. After walking less than half a cup of tea, I already saw the village road connected at the end of the mountain road.

"Come, come, come, come!" Wang Gui took Xiao Lanwei and Mu Qingling out of the mountain road, and followed the path to the door of a small farmhouse courtyard, Wang Gui put down the firewood on his back and stood in front of the door at will, pushed open the courtyard door and shouted: "Daughter-in-law! Come out, come out! Xiao Lanhuan walked into the small courtyard with Mu Qingling on her back, and just put Mu Qingling down, she heard a hearty response from the house: "Come back when you come back, why do you want me to come out to meet you, how much firewood did you get today, didn't you say that you have to collect more firewood to sell in the town today, you must know that tomorrow will be...!" ”

Having said that, the woman still walked out of the kitchen while wiping her hands, and saw that there were two strangers standing in the courtyard, and her temperament was extremely inconsistent with this farmhouse, as if the gods of the Nine Heavens had fallen to the wrong place. The woman hurriedly slapped Wang Gui, who was drinking water with a water scoop, and shouted, "Yo! If you go up the mountain to pick up firewood, you will collect firewood, why did you pick up two immortals and come back! ”

Wang Gui was slapped by his daughter-in-law and coughed, and he couldn't speak for a while. Xiao Lanwei hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Hello sister-in-law Wang, my brother and sister met Brother Wang on the mountain, because he got lost in the mountains, so now I want to disturb the eldest brother and sister-in-law for a while, and when my brother and sister return to Hangzhou, they will definitely come to thank you." ”

Wang Gui's family looked at Xiao Lanhuan, and then looked at Mu Qingling who was standing at the door, Mu Qingling saw Wang Gui's daughter-in-law come over, and hurriedly bowed her head and saluted, Wang's sister-in-law saw that she was a thin and weak little girl, her face looked not good, and she hurriedly stepped forward to help her and brought her into the house, while saying to Xiao Lanhuan: "Hey, little brother, don't be polite, our farmer doesn't have so many rules, since your eldest brother brought you back, you just treat it as a family, don't be restrained." Ouch, what's wrong with this girl? So pale, but sick? ”

Mu Qingling hurriedly smiled at Wang Gui's daughter-in-law and said, "I just didn't rest well, I looked haggard, thank you sister-in-law for your concern." ”

Wang Gui's daughter-in-law helped Mu Qingling, and when she passed by Wang Gui, she raised her foot and kicked Wang Gui, and said: "I know that I drink, and I don't know how to greet guests to rest!" ”

Wang Gui didn't get angry when he kicked his daughter-in-law, patted the footprints on his trouser legs, laughed twice, and said to Xiao Lanwei: "Blame me, blame me, I don't pay much attention to it on weekdays, Brother Zhou sit down, we don't have any good tea here, but the water is spring water in the mountains!" Sweet! ”

Xiao Lanwei sat down at the stone table in the garden, and Wang Gui came up with a bowl of water. There are still some openings in the bowl, which looks a little rough, but it is cleanly washed. Xiao Lanwei took a look at this small courtyard, except for a big stone moved from nowhere, accompanied by two small stones to make a set of tables and stools, there was nothing in the yard, but the land was solid, neat and clean, and it looked like a diligent person. Through the wide open door of the hall, there was nothing in the hall except for the shrine dedicated to the ancestral shrine, not even the tables and chairs. Xiao Lanwei looked down at the earthen bowl in his hand again, not even porcelain, a little strange in his heart, he was from a noble background, and when he first walked the rivers and lakes, he was quite a bit uncannibalistic, and made a lot of jokes, but after so many two or three years, he also gained a lot of knowledge. This village is close to the rich city of Hangzhou, and it is the land of fish and rice, and it can be seen that it is surrounded by fertile fields along the way, and it is also considered a rich place

But listening to what Sister-in-law Wang was still saying to Wang Gui in the house, Wang Gui stood in the courtyard and answered one by one. It made him feel that this was a different kind of life, sunrise and sunset, nothing to do with people close to him to talk about the shortcomings of his parents, thinking about how much money a liter of rice had risen, and how much silver he could save this season. The words are full of firewood, rice, oil and salt, there is no brocade clothes and ayaluo, and there is no song and swallow dance, but it makes people feel down-to-earth and comfortable for no reason.

Xiao Lanwei shook his head, and saw that Wang Gui had already brought up a plate of nests, Wang Gui rubbed his hands on his clothes, "The hospitality is not good, you noble sons must not be used to eating these, but you should eat a little, this person, I can't be hungry." Xiao Lanwei hurriedly got up and saluted back, and said, "It's not my fault to disturb the eldest brother's family, how dare I dislike it." I have been away from home for a long time, and my family is still worried about whether there is a car in this village that can enter the city, if there is, can I ask my eldest brother to rent one for me, so that the two of us can rush back to Hangzhou. ”

Wang Gui sat down opposite Xiao Lanhuan and said with a bold smile: "This is simple, the town will meet tomorrow, there are mule carts in the village that often go to the town to sell some local goods, if you are willing, I will go and talk to the people, and let them use the mule cart to send you directly to Hangzhou, but..." Wang Gui waved his hand, "Hey, it's not difficult, I'm a straight talker, don't be surprised, we who dig in the soil, rely on a handful of strength to eat, it's nothing to send you, just delay a day, it will delay a lot of things, if I am alone, it's nothing, I can let others send... You see that he is also a young master from a big family, if it is convenient, can you give the two cars to drive the car, after all, it is now in the village..."Wang Guihou's words did not come out, Xiao Lanwei hurriedly continued: "This is natural, I am not such a bad person, I use other people's cars, and the money for the car should be shared." ”

"Okay, since you agree, then I'll go and say it, let him send you to Hangzhou today, you eat first, and then leave!" Xiao Lanwei was about to refuse, but she heard Sister-in-law Wang who walked out of the door say, "Let's go, where are you going!" Can't go anywhere! Ouch, I said you're a little young, how can you still pull your sister with you if you're playful, can your sister's body and bones be able to cause trouble at will? Now the brains are almost burning! If you are in charge, go get a bucket of cool water, and I'll put a compress on her. ”

Xiao Lanwei has never been counted down like this when he is so old, but he doesn't care about Sister-in-law Wang's accusations at all, and when he heard that Mu Qingling was sick, he hurriedly took a few steps forward and hurriedly said, "My sister is sick?" Can be serious! Otherwise, I'll take her back to Hangzhou now......"

Sister-in-law Wang grabbed Xiao Lanhuan, who was about to go to the house, stretched out her hand and nodded at him, and said: "Now I know that I am in a hurry, don't worry, my sister-in-law has seen it, there is nothing wrong with it, but I have a cold and I haven't rested well, the girl's body is already weak, and I squatted with you in the mountains for a night, can I not get sick?!" Don't worry, I'll put a compress on her forehead later, and then go get some rice wine to wipe her body, and I'll take care of it when I get up and keep it safe. Are you taking her away now? It takes more than half a day to do a mule cart from Hangzhou, and your sister can't stand the swaying of this half a day. Anyway, you can't leave today, you will stay here for a night at my sister-in-law, and I will go with the car tomorrow morning! ”

Xiao Lanwei couldn't do it, so she had to agree. In the end, Mu Qingling was still affected by him, otherwise how could an eldest lady be reduced to sleeping in the mountains for a night, and now she is still sick. Thinking of the way Mu Qingling endured the discomfort and gritted her teeth and followed him closely behind, Xiao Lanlu's heart ached slightly, as if someone was poking him little by little with the tip of a needle.

Sister-in-law Wang turned around and went into the house to take care of Mu Qingling, and when she saw that Wang Gui was going out to ask for a doctor, Xiao Lanhuan hurriedly followed. I can't go back to Hangzhou for the time being, but the news of him and Mu Qingling has to be sent back. Under the guidance of Wang Gui, Xiao Lanwei found a teenager in the village, and when he was full of energy, he promised him a tael of silver for the running fee, and asked him to leave for Hangzhou immediately to spread the word, if it was fast, the Yu family would receive their news in the evening.

When Wang's sister-in-law went out to find rice wine for Mu Qingling, Xiao Lanhuan had already changed into a coarse cloth dress of Wang Gui. His original clothes were dirty and messy, and there were some blood stains on the corners of his clothes, and it was really eye-catching to hang around in the village wearing this one, so Xiao Lanhuan borrowed Wang Gui's clothes. Because Mu Qingling was ill, their trip was delayed, Xiao Lanwei had the heart to reward Wang Gui and his wife with silver, but the matter was urgent, and he didn't have a money bag on him, so he had to give Wang Gui a piece of jade pendant from the corner of the clothes, Wang Gui saw that this jade was not cheap, and said that he would not accept anything.

Xiao Lanwei couldn't do anything, so she had to help Wang Gui do some chores to show her gratitude, but unfortunately none of the farm work was Xiao Xiaowangye's master, and he followed him for a long time, but he didn't help anything, and there were a lot of jokes.

Sister-in-law Wang wiped her body with wine and water for Mu Qingling, and when she saw that it was close to noon, she came out and squatted in the yard to choose vegetables, and watched Xiao Lanhuan's jokes while picking vegetables, and when she had laughed enough, she beckoned Xiao Lanhuan over, put the bamboo basket in her hand aside, looked at Xiao Lanhuan and said: "Okay, Brother Zhou, your sister-in-law's family has this little belongings, don't give me any more trouble." If we dig food in the soil, we pay attention to personal convenience and people. Your eldest brother and I are both people who have never read a book, and we don't understand any big truths, but we still understand how to be a person, you and your sister are temporarily in trouble, we met, can we still leave it alone? We help you to have peace of mind, and we don't ask you for anything in return, and you don't care. ”

Xiao Lanwei blushed a little when Sister-in-law Wang said, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law is open-minded, you and Brother Wang are pure and upright, and they are old-fashioned and warm-hearted, and they will definitely be good in the future." ”

Sister-in-law Wang laughed and said: "Ouch, how can I expect to get any good rewards, if this god really has eyes, I just ask him to be in a better mood this year, it should rain and rain, the sun should come out of the sun, so that we farmers can live a better life!" ”
