Chapter 166 Those who pretend to be well-intentioned are all black-handed
"Lady, what should we do now?" Wei Lin asked.
An Ran looked at the Fulai Inn on the opposite side and said: "Since the emperor has compiled us, presumably all inns and restaurants have posted our notices, and the inn is not able to live, so let's hurry and leave the county seat to find a remote village to rest for a while." ”
"The lady is thinking about it very much." Wei Lin agreed, but his face was uneasy, and he apologized: "Lady, I thought I could take you out, I could find an inn to recuperate for two days before I traveled, but I knew that I would make my mother suffer again, and I would ...... for my husband."
An Ran stretched out his hand to block Wei Lin's words, and said with a smile: "You and I are husband and wife, why bother to say such outward words, in fact, this inn is not impossible to live." An Ran looked at the portrait and Wei Lin on the notice wall, and said with a smile: "Do you still look like this portrait now?" ”
Wei Lin has not retouched her appearance in the mountains for more than half a year, she has already been full of beard, how can she be handsome before, and her three sons, who practiced martial arts with their father in the mountains every day in the summer, tanned and not slippery, and people have grown a lot taller, let's talk about her, she has been raising a baby in the cave for most of the year, rarely moving, her body has gained a circle, and her face is also bigger, their family and the portrait are no longer the same as they were, otherwise they chatted with the notice board for so long and no one doubted, isn't it not like?
"Not really." Wei Lin touched his somewhat messy cheeks and said.
He originally wanted to repair it, but the knife on his body was either to peel the skin or cut the meat, if he used the knife to shave again, it felt unhygienic, and the lady used to hate him the most about using a few things, saying that it was too unsophisticated.
So he hasn't shaved for most of the year.
"Yes, no one will recognize us even if we live in the guest house like this now, but for safety, let's hurry and stay in a farmhouse." An Ran said to Wei Lin: "Let's go, although the inn is good, it is more important for us to be together as a family." ”
Weiguo Weizhou Acropolis smiled at each other and followed behind their father.
Suddenly, the Acropolis was pulled by someone, and Wei Zhou was immediately on guard, clenched his fists and asked, "What do you want to do?" ”
Wei Guo held the Acropolis, and also looked at the person who dragged the Acropolis with a wary face.
An Ran and Wei Lin turned around, still calm down, and gently patted Wei Zhou and Wei Guo to tell them not to be so nervous, and then An Ran asked the man very gently: "This son, dare to ask you what's the matter?" ”
The young man was stared at by Wei Zhou all the time, as if he was going to pounce on him at any time to fight him, and he was stupid on the spot, why are these people so vicious?
"Don't be afraid, son, my children are entering the city for the first time and don't know etiquette, so I, the mother, will apologize to them." An Ran said and bowed to the young man as an apology.
Wei Lin pulled Wei Zhou and Wei Guo to his side, telling them not to be so nervous, they didn't understand things, they looked like they were going to fight with others, which would scare others.
When the young man saw that An Ran was a well-informed young lady, he settled down, pointed to a fox skin in the bamboo basket of the Acropolis and replied, "This lady, I ...... I just took a fancy to the fox skin in your child's bamboo basket, and when I saw that the coat color was excellent, I wanted to ask you if this fox skin was sold? ”
"Oh, it turns out that Childe wants to buy fox skins." An Ran smiled and said: "Our family is a hunter who lives in the mountains, and this time we are going down the mountain to sell mountain goods. ”
"Huh? What do I offer? "The young man hadn't seen a seller who asked a buyer to make a bid.
An Ran took out the fox skin that the boy had taken a look at, and showed it to the son: "The son is a real person, and our family rarely comes to the city to sell things, so we don't know the price. ”
The boy saw that this little lady was so good at talking, and took the fox skin in his hand and turned it over to see the past, it was an excellent coat color, so he also had a number in his heart: "The little lady is sincere to sell me, I am a scholar and I know the meaning of the four words of honesty and non-deception, if the little lady takes this fox skin to the furrier to sell, a fox skin can be sold for five taels of silver, how about I buy this fox skin for the little lady six taels?" ”
If this fox skin is resold by a fur dealer, it will definitely be sold for eighty or ninety taels, and it is also very cost-effective for him to buy this fox skin for six taels.
Six taels of silver, not bad, this son is really a real person, An Ran smiled and said, "Then sell it to you." ”
Childe took out six taels of silver, but An Ran only accepted him five taels, "Childe is very good, and there is a fate to meet, rather than I give the leather merchant five taels of silver, it is better to give Childe five taels of silver, and I apologize for my child just now for scaring Childe, and we will meet again." ”
After speaking, An Ran took the children away.
The boy was on the spot for a long time, the first time he saw someone selling things and collecting less money, seeing that the little lady's family was not very well dressed, not to mention that there were four children to raise at home, how could he lose a tael of silver, you must know that one or two silver can be worth a year of income from a poor family.
An Ran took Wei Lin and the children out of the city, and when the guards guarding the city saw them, they asked a little strangely: "Look at your appearance, you are a peasant family in the mountains who came to the city to sell goods, why did you have to leave the city before you finished selling the goods?" ”
An Ran said: "Brother Shoucheng, these mountain goods are not for sale, we are the hunters at the foot of Nanshan Mountain, and we received these mountain goods and returned to my mother's house to visit relatives, you also know that the mountain people have nothing to send, and they can only send some of these things that they go to the mountains to fight, oh yes, Brother Shoucheng, if you like something, just take it." ”
The guards of the city rummaged through the contents of their bamboo baskets, and there was nothing to take, all of them were rabbit skins, dried meat, dried fruits, and other things, which were not worth a few dollars, so they let them go: "Go, go." ”
An Ran thanked them and hurried out of the city with them.
"Mother, you are so powerful, let's hide the valuable fur in advance." Weizhou Road.
"Put these leather goods outside, those guards guarding the city are not greedy and greedy, although my mother doesn't care about these leather goods, but I don't think it's as good as ......" hot book for their mother
"Sell? Isn't it? Wei Zhou answered excitedly for his mother.
An Ran slapped him on the head, "What are you selling, are we the ones who lack that bit of silver?" It is better to give to the poor than to the greedy who defend the city. ”
"Oh." Wei Zhou saw that he had answered wrong, so he touched his head and lowered his head.
Weiguo Acropolis patted Wei Zhou and sympathized with him.
All the way to the south, the family walked dozens of miles, but they couldn't walk anymore, so they stopped at a place called Yauma Village.
An old man drove cattle home, and when he saw An Ran's family, he kindly stepped forward and asked, "Is your family from out of town?" But tired of hurrying? ”
"Yes, uncle." An Ran saluted the old man and said: "Our family wants to rush to the Yuanyang Prefecture Mansion to join relatives, but this road is too far, can the old man kindly take in our family to rest at your house tonight, and give some silver." ”
"You don't have to get the money, it's not easy to go out these days, if you don't think my old man's house is coarse tea and light food, come to my house tonight to rest for one night, and then hurry tomorrow morning." The old man looked at An Ran and them, a young couple with several children, and a young baby in their arms, probably the family fled, right?
"Thank you, uncle." An Ran said happily.
Wei Lin and Wei Guo Weizhou Acropolis also saluted and thanked.
The old man waved his hand, signaling that he was not polite, "You come with me, there is no one in my family, just me and my wife, the children have grown up, each has its own home, rarely comes back, there are two empty rooms at home, and I can still live in it." ”
Without waiting for An Ran to thank him, the old man pointed to a thatched house and said, "Well, that's my house, and it's my wife who is waiting for me at the door." ”
"Old woman, old woman." The old man waved his hand and called his wife.
An Ran smiled, this old man is also a real person, probably he couldn't get used to hearing her say thank you, so he rushed to speak like this.
When the old woman saw her wife coming back, she hurriedly got up and greeted her, "Old man, are you back?" ”
"It's back, it's back." The old man said to his wife while pulling the cow: "This family is in a hurry, tired and hungry, old woman, you can take out what you can eat at home for them to eat, it is not easy to be outside." ”
"Huh." The old woman welcomed the Enron family very warmly, "Come in the house quickly, are you thirsty?" I'll bring you tea. ”
Enron They are neither thirsty nor hungry, but it is difficult to resist their kindness, and besides, their family is really dressed like refugees, and it is also kind to them that people help them.
The old woman brought tea and took her self-made shortbread to entertain An Ran and them, so she went to prepare dinner, An Ran wanted to help her mother-in-law, but her mother-in-law said that she was holding the milk doll, and the kitchen was splashed with oil, so it was good not to splash the child, so she drove An Ran out.
The old man was afraid that they would be cold, so he brought a brazier for them to roast, and went to the kitchen to help his wife.
After the dishes were served, An Ran really didn't expect the old man and mother-in-law to be so hospitable, and killed the chickens at home to entertain the guests.
The mother-in-law served a big bowl of chicken soup for her, and persuaded An Ran to eat: "Child, drink more, you can get milk, you are so hard to travel, you must be a disadvantage to this baby child, since you meet today, although your mother-in-law can't help you all the time, but when you meet, you can also help a handful, drink chicken soup to replenish your body, make up your body milk ~ water can be sufficient, you don't have to be polite when you arrive at my house, you let go of your stomach to eat." ”
What a nice guy.
Enron didn't know what to say except to say thank you.
Although she was not as pitiful as the old uncle and mother-in-law saw, she was really touched by the kindness of the two old men.
When you leave, be sure to leave them with silver and skins.
After eating and drinking, the old woman lit an oil lamp and took the family into a grass room, there were two beds in the room, and the old woman said: "You are out of the house, although you eat and sleep in the open, but the mother-in-law also knows in her heart that you must be a little wary, so I will arrange for your family to sleep in a room, so that you can also have some sense of security in your heart, sleep, children." ”
After saying that, the old woman put down the oil lamp and left.
An Ran saw that the old woman was so caring, so she said: "Wei Lin, this family is really enthusiastic and good. ”
"Hmm." Wei Lin just nodded, the lady rarely travels outside, naturally she doesn't know that people's hearts are sinister, how can there be so many good people in this world, especially in this year of famine, the people themselves can't eat enough, how can they have extra food to help others?
