Chapter 728: A Bowl of Broth
Gan Lin looked back at Zhou Tian and said, "They said that there will be wild wolves at night, and it will be dangerous for us to live outside." ”
Zhou Tian raised his eyes and looked at the nearby mountains, and then looked at the traces on the ground, as if there were indeed traces of wild beasts.
He frowned for a moment and said, "It doesn't hurt that the wolf is coming, just slaughtering the fur to make boots." ”
"The mountains around here are very high, and if there are wolves coming down the mountain, or even other wild beasts, I am afraid it will be difficult to deal with." Gan Lin said: "Why don't you go to the villagers' houses for a night!" We can go to the courtyard and set up a tent, there is a courtyard gate and a courtyard wall to block it, it is difficult for ordinary wild beasts to enter, so we can sleep peacefully. ”
Gan Lin paused, and said: "I learned from the kid just now that this village has been greatly affected by the drought, and the grain production has been reduced, so in order to save some food, they come out every day to dig wild vegetables. If we were to give us a little food as a reward for the night's stay, I believe no one would refuse. ”
Zhou Tian nodded and said, "Listen to your arrangement." ”
Then, let the old horse see that the tent was put into the carriage, and led the horse to the village.
After walking a short distance, I saw the child running out just now, and said with a shy smile: "Sister, my father and mother asked me to welcome you to the house." My mother is already boiling porridge, and she said that if you don't dislike it, you can eat a bowl of wild vegetable porridge at our house to cushion your stomach. ”
So, the group went to his house in a mighty way.
On the way, Gan Lin smiled and asked the child, "What's your name?" ”
The child looked up and smiled, "My surname is Gu, my name is Gu Mingyue, and my nickname is Crescent Moon." My brother's name is Gu Xingchen, nicknamed Xingxing. ”
"Both of you brothers have nice names." Gan Lin said to Gu Mingyue: "Then I'll call you the crescent moon, is it okay?" ”
Gu Mingyue nodded, "Of course you can." ”
Gan Lin said again: "You run back quickly, so that your mother doesn't have to cook our rice." We went into the city to buy vegetables when we passed by Qingyang Fucheng. By the way, I have to borrow your kitchen for use, I don't know if it's convenient? ”
Gu Mingyue didn't think much about it, but said, "I have a lot of firewood at home, sister, you can just use it." ”
The group walked to the gate of Gu's courtyard and saw Gu Mingyue's father and younger brother coming out to greet them outside.
Gu Mingyue's father, Gu Jianghe, didn't expect that there would be so many people, he thought that there were only three or five, but suddenly saw so many people and high-headed horses from outside the courtyard, and he was a little overwhelmed by this battle.
After a while, he smiled solemnly: "Is that why you want to spend the night?" Come on in! Our house is small, and we can't vacate a room for you to live in, so we can only grieve you to stay in the yard. ”
Gu Jianghe's wife, Meng Shi, also greeted Gan Lin with a smile.
Just now I heard my son say that there was a beautiful sister at the entrance of the village, who looked as good as a fairy, and Meng was only joking as a child at that time. Now that I have seen it with my own eyes, I know that my son is not exaggerating at all, this girl is indeed beautiful, her eyes are big and bright, clear and smart, as if she can speak.
After some politeness, the group entered the courtyard.
The Gu family's yard is indeed quite large, and it is not a problem to set up five or six tents, and one piece can be vacated.
Originally, he planned to put the horses and carriages outside the courtyard, but Gu Jianghe said: "It's better to bring them in the courtyard, it's not safe outside after dark." ”
So the horses and carriages were brought into the yard.
When Lao Ma led people to set up a tent, Gan Lin walked to the kitchen with the ingredients he bought today, and when he saw Meng Shi boiling porridge, he said, "Sister-in-law, can you borrow your kitchen?" ”
