"The six dragons are endless, and the sun is scorching." The weather was hot in July, and the three people who went all the way to the northwest couldn't survive after walking for most of the day in the scorching heat.

Quan Gui'er, who was driving the car, wore a straw hat to shade the sun, held the rope in one hand, wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve with the other, and shouted to the back, "Wang Dongjia, let's find a place to rest early, this road will go down again, the people will be fine, the horse has to lie down first." ”

It was hot outside the car, and the car was not much better, although Liang Tian had already changed into gauzy clothes, he couldn't help but pull up his sleeves, revealing his white arms to fan himself.

Although Siming was also hot, he had to put his face aside at this time, not looking at her, and inhaled secretly, suppressing the weather and the heat in his heart.

"You look at a place where there are people's homes, and you stop and rest." Siming shouted to the front again, turned around and took the kettle on the carriage, and drank it with a grunt.

Perhaps the wind brought by Liang Tian with his hands had some effect, and the car gradually cooled down, and Quan Gui'er, who was hurrying in front, was also finding a family to rest in.

A low thatched house, a fenced yard with a few hens pecking, and a lazy old dog asleep on one side of the eaves, its wagging tail chasing flies flying around its body.

After parking the carriage in the shade of a tree, Quan Gui'er got out of the carriage, walked to the fenced gate, and shouted inside, "Is anyone home?" ”

After a while, an old woman's voice came from inside the house, "Here, who is calling me?" As soon as the voice fell, an old woman leaned on her crutches, walked outside, saw a strange figure, smiled and said, "I thought it was a village boy, where did this guest officer come from?" ”

Quan Gui'er touched the sweat on his forehead, leaned over and said, "Auntie, we are from Ningzhou, passers-by who went to Mincheng to visit relatives, this road is hot, and we can't find a place to rest for a while, can you borrow a place for us to rest at night, or ask Auntie to show us the way, there are any inns or something like this nearby." ”

After hearing the meaning clearly, the old woman opened her mouth and smiled, walked towards the fence gate with a cane, and said to Quan Gui'er, "My family is too small, I will lead you to the village chief's house in front." ”

"There's Aunt Lao."

The old woman had always been talkative, and said with a smile, "It's okay, passers-by like you, there are not ten or eight a year, and the summer is better, but in the winter you can't walk for half a month." The old woman took the opportunity to sit on the side of the carriage, noticed that there was someone behind her, and then looked at Quan Gui'er's position.

"It's the two sons of my family, go back to my hometown to see the old man." Quan Guier explained.

The old woman smiled, and with a familiar expression, she led the three of them around the grass hut and towards the path. It didn't take long to walk before a two-story stilted building came into view.

Siming opened the curtain and looked outside, thinking to himself, is this the custom here again, then got out of the car and followed the old woman to the house.

After entering the door, there is an open-air ladder, leading to the corridor on the second floor, there is only one person in the corridor who is collecting clothes to dry, seeing the old woman coming, he is busy dusting off his body, and then he sees Siming and Liang Tian in the back, and he knows it, and leads the two to the house.

"Where did the two guest officers come from?" The woman who was drying the clothes skillfully brought the two into the house, and brought ice cubes to cool their hands from nowhere.

"Coming from Ningzhou, the road is hot, and the three of us are going to bother here for one night, and everything is with my sister-in-law." Siming sees people earnestly and treats each other with courtesy.

After a while, another naughty little girl ran all the way, all the way over, and when she saw Siming, she hid behind the woman shyly, and came out with her eyes from time to time to take a look.

After the mother and daughter settled Siming and went out again, the little girl got up without scruples and asked, "Auntie, is it true that Granny Zhang said that you can eat roast wild boar tonight?" ”

The woman touched her little daughter's hair dotingly and said with a smile. "Look at you, I remember the wild boar, why don't you remember who went to fight for you in the dark."

When the red sun hanging in the sky went down, the people on the ground finally ushered in a burst of coolness, and later, torches were lit in the open area, and many villagers gathered.

Liang Tian was resting in the room on the second floor, and when he saw the noise downstairs, he stretched out his head to take a look, Quan Gui'er had already integrated into the circle, dancing by the fire with the villagers.

"This guy really blends in quickly, and it's time to come back and tell us the little story he asked." Liang Tian closed the window and turned back to talk to Siming.

After a while, after all, he was still a little interested in this happy thing, Liang Tian came over to the desk, pestered Siming and said, "Let's go and see it too, those people are really interesting." ”

Siming has rarely rejected Liang Tian, and seeing that she was a little interested, he put down his pen, collected his things, and went down with Liang Tian.

Different from the heat of the day, this fireworks night is bright, and the people who sit around around the bright light enjoy the cool breeze blowing from the mountains.

Seeing a stranger coming down from the upper floor, the villagers who were enjoying the shade also glanced over here, which made many people unable to take their eyes off, and more than three or five people talked about it one after another.

Not long after Siming and the two sat down, a little girl in the afternoon brought some barbecue, followed by a man with a scar on his face, carrying a jar of soju in his hand.

"Come?" The scarred man shook the wine jar in his hand and said to Siming.

Liang Tian took the bowl and said, "Come on." ”

The man with the scar was a little surprised, but still handed the bowl to Liang Tian, and said with a smile, "What a spirit!" Then a table was brought over, and the jar and venison were placed on it.

After two or three bowls of wine, Liang Tian's face was already a little flushed, and it looked even more ruddy under the light of the fire, but seeing that Siming was a little displeased, he had to push the wine bowl away, and said again and again, "These are enough." ”

The people who stayed in the inn were all guests, and the man with the scar was not good at persuasion, so he carried the wine jar and drank with others.

After a while, the proprietress of the inn came to add some wine and meat to the two of them, sat down next to the two, and said with a smile, "He didn't force you, I used to eat wine in big bowls of rivers and lakes in the past, and I didn't have a sense of persuasion to drink." ”

"No, I drank some." Liang Tian pointed to the empty bowl, said with a smile, and saw that the woman was also defenseless, so he asked, "Is my sister-in-law from here?" ”

The woman smiled and said, "My sister is a sharp-eyed girl, and we both moved here later, and thanks to the blessing of the people here, we lived, and while hunting, we ran an inn and begged for a living. ”

Liang Tian looked around, although the scarred man looked fierce, but his prestige among the villagers was not small, if it weren't for the fact that this woman was a little different from other women, he really couldn't tell that they were a foreigner.

"They rely on you more, the two of you have some talents, why don't you go to a more prosperous place to make a living, this place is not condescending." Liang Tian said.

The woman was good at talking, and then said, "We are also annoyed by those disturbing things, and it is not bad to come here to spend a little time, I see that you two have a quiet personality, and it is suitable for this deep mountain and wild mountains, why bother to go to that bitter cold place again." ”

Perhaps because he was a fellow practitioner, Liang Tian moved to the woman's position and whispered, "Go to his hometown to have a look, I don't plan to escape there, he always tells me to go back, but I can go back." ”

"Go back? He called a girl who eloped with him back? Isn't that whimsical? The woman was a little angry, and glanced at Siming, a little unhappy.

Liang Tian didn't complain, but when he saw that the woman was upset about herself, she was a little embarrassed, and said with a smile, "I ran out with him, I didn't want to run so far at first, so I got here on impulse." ”

"I see, no wonder you are always so cautious, you have to look at his face in everything. When you ran out, you were already very passive, and if you don't fight for it now, take care of him, you will only be eaten to death by him in this life. The woman looked very experienced.

Seeing that Liang Tian didn't speak, the woman said a little proudly, "Let me tell you, the one in our family was also a disobedient person before, and he has suffered a few losses and been fooled a few times here, so he knows who he should listen to and who he should do things for, and now he is not obedient." If you're willing to listen, I'll give you a few ideas when I come down to my room. ”

Liang Tian quickly shook his head and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law, for your kindness." What Liang Tian thinks about is just exchanging sincerity for sincerity, if there is some struggle of interests, what is the difference between it and others.

"Well, it's not that I don't like you when I look at him, it's just that I pay too much attention to what I have lost and can't see what I have around me, so you can remind him more of this in the future." The woman said.

"I also know this, but thank my sister-in-law for reminding me, the little girl should be looking for you." While the two were talking, the little girl in the afternoon also came to look for A-Niang, and the woman had to go with her again.

The two stayed for a while, took advantage of the cool breeze, and went upstairs together. Siming took the lamp from the woman, picked out the wick, and lay down on the desk, writing something.

Liang Tian was bored and wanted to calculate the trading accounts of the previous days with Siming, but at a glance he saw a few familiar place names on the envelope, so he asked, "Who are you writing to?" ”

"Just tell Ah Wu something." Siming accepted the letter as he spoke, and asked, "What did you just say?" You have to avoid me. ”

"Nothing." Liang Tian waved his hand and went to sit aside.

If it was normal to think about it, I have been close to Liang Tian a lot recently, so I occasionally can't help it, and I want to get closer to her by using the method, so I walked over, leaned over to my ear, and said softly, "Tell me what you said." ”

Liang Tian has always been unable to withstand Siming's soft grinding, lowered his head, and said with a little blush, "It's all boudoir talk, how can I talk to you." ”
