After the two left, Jiang Yu took Jiang Yao to a small courtyard not far away.

Jiang Yao was wearing a dark blue robe, her hair was coiled on top of her head with a wooden hairpin, and she was carrying a burden tied with a dirty sleeping bag.

Jiang Yu is orange Wei Jin with a waist-length collar, carrying a small satchel, and his hair is also Daogu's head.

This is the most plain of the two, and it looks like a bit of a fairy, if it weren't for the mud spots on the clothes.

Jiang Yu stepped forward and knocked on the door.

"Who?" The door didn't open, and a woman's voice came from behind the door.

"We are passing by, our two sisters were originally practicing on Zhongnan Mountain, this time they were ordered by the master to go down the mountain, and they came here after a lost path, if it is late today, I don't know if we can spend the night."

The man behind the door muttered for a moment, and the door opened a small crack, revealing a woman with gray sideburns.

"Hello old man, I wonder if it is convenient to take me and my sister for a night?" Jiang Yu said, motioning for Jiang Yao to take out the things.

I saw Jiang Yao take out a pheasant from behind him and hand it over, "This is our room money." ”

The old man glanced at the pheasant twice, and then at Jiang Yao, who was dressed in men's clothes, and hesitated: "She, is it your sister?" ”

Seeing the old man's hesitation, Jiang Yao said, "Old man, my name is Jiang Yao, and my sister's name is Jiang Yu." Only because of the inconvenience of going out, I had to show people in men's clothes, if it was late today, I also asked the elderly to take in our sisters for one night. ”

A clear voice, with a bit of feminine softness.

The old man's face softened slightly, and he asked a few more questions.

In the end, it was agreed that they should stay overnight, for the sake of the pheasant's face.

……

The yard is not big, but it looks quite new and cleaned, and you can see that the owner is very diligent.

The old man's surname is Zhou, and she is a widow in Linjia Village, known as Mrs. Zhou.

Her daughter-in-law is also a widow, surnamed Zhao, known as Zhao Niangzi, Zhao Niangzi is a gentle and shy character, and she was startled when she saw Jiang Yao, who was dressed as a man, enter the house.

Jiang Yu glanced at Jiang Yao: Let you refuse to wear my women's clothes.

Jiang Yao deliberately glanced Jiang Yu up and down: the size is not right, too short, too fat.

Jiang Yu: ......!!! Grow tall and amazing! I'm also 1.6 meters tall, okay! Again, I'm not fat! I've lost weight lately!

After the lawsuit between the two eyebrows and eyes was over, Mrs. Zhou also explained the situation to Mrs. Zhao clearly, asked her to serve a bowl of water to the two of them, and went to cook with pheasants by herself.

Mrs. Zhao brought two bowls of boiling water to them, sat with them on the side, didn't know what to say, and was sitting in a hurry, when there was a baby crying in the room, she was relieved, and quickly got up and entered the house.

There are only three people in Mrs. Zhou's family, and apart from the two of them, there is only one boy about one year old.

This is also the reason why Jiang Yao and the others chose this family, Jiang Yu listened to the forest for a long time, and among the few households close to the forest, only this one is the most suitable for sleeping.

There are no men, there is a shortage of labor, livestock in the yard, only one hen.

As for her temperament, for the time being, she only thinks that Zhao Niangzi is soft and weak, but Mrs. Zhou looks capable.

It didn't take long for Mrs. Zhou to arrange dinner.

It was dinner time, and Mrs. Zhou's dinner was ready, so two people were added temporarily, so she could only add some water to the prepared multigrain porridge and boil it again, and then chop half a pheasant and stew it again and add it to the cabbage, and then steam some taro.

Mrs. Zhou laid out the food, and the two hurriedly stepped forward to help.

Four bowls of slightly clear multigrain porridge, a plate of taro, a bowl of pheasant stewed cabbage, and a bowl of steamed eggs were for Zhao Niangzi's son Lin Xiaohu.

The so-called multigrain porridge is actually a little brown rice mixed with various beans, wheat and fine bran and then boiled together.

"There's nothing to eat at home, don't dislike it, eat some together, it's hot at all." Mrs. Zhou greeted the two sisters heartily.

"Why, it's our sisters who have caused you trouble. Compared with sleeping in the wilderness, it is our luck to be able to spend the night at Grandma Zhou's house. Jiang Yu's mouth was sweet, and he hurriedly responded.

The somewhat thin multigrain porridge is not delicious, and even rough and a little, but it is very heartwarming and stomach-warming.

Obviously, there was not much food at home, but they finally got a pheasant, so they chopped half of it out to entertain them.

The two sisters drank a sip of hot porridge and served it with some cabbage stewed with chicken and oil, looking satisfied.

Mrs. Zhou, who was feeding Lin Xiaohu stewed eggs, frowned and said, "I don't eat meat at all, it's so hard to travel, how can I eat more." ”

As he spoke, he motioned to Mrs. Zhao to give them meat.

The two waved their hands again and again, and Jiang Yu said: "Thank you, Grandma Zhou, we have been in the forest all these days, and we have been tired of eating these every day, and now we can drink this bowl of porridge and side dishes, which is already very satisfying." ”

Jiang Yao nodded in agreement.

Zhao Niangzi couldn't help but show envy, I don't know what it's like to eat meat until it's tired.

"Ah, ah" Lin Xiaohu waited for a long time and didn't see his grandmother feeding, and opened his mouth to call out dissatisfied.

"There's food, there's food, grandma feeds, ah......"

Mrs. Zhou saw that the two of them didn't look like they were lying, and looking at the complexions of the two, although they were a little tired, they didn't look like they were eating meat without a gap, so she didn't force it anymore.

Just let them rest first and tidy up their rooms later.

Lin Xiaohu took a bite of the tender stewed egg and shook his head in satisfaction.

Seeing that the food on everyone's table was delicious, he stared at the chicken in the basin and couldn't take his eyes off it.

Grandma Zhou tore a small piece of chicken, fed him with eggs, and looked at her grandson who was eating deliciously.

Jiang Yao glanced at Lin Xiaohu, who was raised round, and the two thin adults, it was not easy to feed a child like this in such a family and environment.

There were no extra tables and chairs in the room, so the two of them could only sit and wait.

Soon, Mrs. Zhao also finished eating and was about to go to change Mrs. Zhou for dinner.

Mrs. Zhou avoided it, and while continuing to feed, she said: "I'll feed, you go and clean up your house, give Xiao Shao and Xiao Yu a night's rest, and you two will sleep in my house tonight." ”

The two sisters wanted to help, but after being refused, they could only continue to sit down, patiently waiting for Mrs. Zhou to finish feeding her grandson, ready to wait for her to finish eating, and then ask about the situation in the village.

Who knew that after Mrs. Zhou finished feeding her grandson, she only hugged Lin Xiaohu and coaxed her to play.

Jiang Yao wondered, but Jiang Yu was more experienced, and stepped forward and said, "Grandma Zhou, why don't I help you hug Xiaohu, you hurry up and eat the meal, otherwise it will be cold in a while, and it will be dark." ”

In fact, it was almost dark, and they should have rested at this time, but after a delay today, Mrs. Zhou looked at Jiang Yu uncertainly, her eyes were too red, and she almost said directly, will you hold the child?

Jiang Yu saw that she didn't believe it, and almost blurted out, I often hug my uncle's little niece at home.

Suddenly remembered that he was following his master to cultivate immortals in the deep mountains, so he simply squatted directly in front of Lin Xiaohu, stretched out his hand and said, "Xiaohu, is it okay for my sister to hold you and go to the hen to play?" ”

Lin Xiaohu could obviously understand some words, and as soon as he heard "play", his eyes immediately lit up, and he threw himself into Jiang Yu's arms, startling Grandma Zhou.

Jiang Yu caught Lin Xiaohu steadily and hugged him.

This kid doesn't recognize life at all.

Mrs. Zhou was quite surprised to see that she was very skillful in hugging her, but she was also relieved to let her take it, and she hurriedly ate by herself.

Jiang Yu walked to the door with Lin Xiaohu in his arms, sat on the stone steps, let him sit on his lap, and pointed to the hen looking for food at the door and said, "Xiaohu, look, hen, give it to you~"

"Woo~" Lin Xiaohu was excited when he saw the hen, and he also followed the call, which made several people laugh.

After Mrs. Zhou finished eating, Jiang Yao went to help clean up the dishes and chopsticks, but was stopped by Mrs. Zhou: "Don't dirty your clothes, sit and drink saliva, I'm going to cook this quickly." ”

After saying that, he cleaned up his hands and feet quickly, and did not light the lamp, but quickly washed the dishes by the last faint light, and turned his head to wipe the table.
