Chapter 5 Sprouts

Da Niu took Wang Jun to the house of the fifth master of the clan, and after some inquiry, Wang Jun knew that he was mistaken, and there was no way to lead the world to this point.

As long as you are willing to go out, you can leave anytime and anywhere, and the current rangers, children of the family, merchants, etc. are all leaving empty-handed, and there is no need for any proof at all.

Now that he knew that he didn't need a guide, Wang Jun let Da Niu leave alone.

When he got home, Wang Jun began to prepare things to go out, flints, clothes, dry food, and so on.

After looking for a kettle at home and not carrying it with him, he ran to the bamboo forest near the village, cut a section of bamboo in the depths of the bamboo forest and went home, and made a simple kettle from the bamboo joints.

........

The next day, the natural sun had just risen in the early morning, and looking at the morning glow in the sky, Wang Jun frowned for a while.

Wang Jun still remembers that when he was studying, there was a saying in the Chinese textbook, "If you don't go out in the morning glow, you will travel thousands of miles in the sunset."

Now that the sky is full of morning glow, Wang Jun understands that there will definitely be a heavy rain today, and after thinking about it, since he decided to leave, it is better to leave a day earlier, and he doesn't know what will happen tomorrow in the province.

Then he put his bags on his back, pinned the hunting knife to his waist, closed the doors and windows, and set out to leave.

Walking alone on the village road, I realized that I was not the first person to get up, and many villagers had already gotten up, carrying farm tools and preparing to go to the field.

When Wang Jun walked to the entrance of the village, he saw the big bull carrying a hunting bow, holding an iron fork in his left hand and an oilcloth bag in his right hand standing at the entrance of the village. ”

Wang Jun nodded and said with a smile: "I wasn't going to bother you and let you rest more, but I didn't expect you to come to see me off." ”

Da Niu smirked a few times, handed the bacon that had been prepared to Wang Jun, and said, "Brother, I don't have anything to grow, only some bacon I made a few days ago, and I specially sent it to you for you to eat on the road." ”

Wang Jun took the bacon and shook it twice, shook his head helplessly, and said, "You are such a stupid cow, this bacon will not be left to eat by yourself!" He also came to give it to me. ”

"Hehe, brother, you're wrong, if I really want to eat meat at home, I dare not say that I have more hunting bows, and one or two hares can still be caught." The big cow was reluctant to look at the bacon and smiled. "Now my brother goes out to explore the world, but I can't follow something, so I can only send you something as my blessing."

"Okay, I'll take it." Wang Jun held the bacon in his hand. Road. "I don't know how long it will take me to go this time, so if you have nothing to do on weekdays, I hope you will help me take care of this thatched house, maybe when I come back one day, there will be a place to live."

"Brother, wrap it up with me, I promise to go at least once every two days to clean up your house inside and out." The big cow patted his chest and assured loudly.

"I'll leave it to you, I'll rest assured. It's not early, I'm leaving. Wang Jun clenched his fists and smiled.

After speaking, he turned around and left without hesitation, and the big bull behind him shouted: "Brother, I'll wait for you to come back and take me out to explore the world." Brother, have a nice trip. ”

.......

After walking along the road for an hour, Wang Jun had already seen the cruelty of the late Eastern Han Dynasty, except for a few merchants and children of the family, all of them were victims with vegetables on their faces, looking for all the food they could eat.

The sky gradually became darker, Wang Jun knew that the heavy rain was coming, looked at the thatched pavilion on the hill not far away, and was overjoyed, knowing that there was no need to rush through the rain.

Immediately look for dry wood and velvet on the spot, and soon find enough firewood to burn.

Holding these firewoods, he stepped on the steps called the Son of Heaven to ascend to the sky, and rushed to the thatched pavilion.

There were still ten steps away from the thatched pavilion, and the downpour fell from the sky, drenching Wang Jun in the blink of an eye.

Wang Jun bent over, protected the firewood, rushed into the pavilion quickly, threw the firewood in his hand on the ground, and wiped the rain with his sleeve, only to find that there were already a pair of sisters in the pavilion.

They were in rags and looked dish-faced, hugging each other against the pillar, keeping each other warm and sheltering from the wind and rain outside.

Wang Jun opened the package, took out the flint from it, lit the velvet, put firewood on it and slowly burned it.

He turned his head to look at the two sisters, but he didn't speak. The slightly older girl looked at Wang Jun timidly, and said pitifully: "This young master begs you not to drive us away, my sister and I will not disturb you." ”

Wang Jun couldn't help but be moved when he heard this, he could understand their style from these words, he didn't expect these children of the family to be so domineering.

With a kind smile, he said, "Little girl, I don't mean that, I mean that you two sisters might as well come over together to bake the fire and go to the cold, otherwise it will be easy to catch the wind chill according to this weather." ”

The slightly older girl looked down at her sister who was trembling in her arms, understood that what Wang Jun said was true, and said, "Thank you, young master, you are such a good person." ”

As he spoke, he walked over with his sister in his arms to roast the fire, but he was still some distance away from Wang Jun, afraid that Wang Jun would have a bad heart.

Wang Jun didn't say much when he saw this, the flames slowly became larger, and the clothes on Wang Jun's body were also dried, looking at the two sisters and asking, "What are your names?" What about parents? ”

The girl had some inferiority, looked at her sister, and replied: "My name is Caiya, I am 8 years old this year, and my sister's name is Bean Sprouts, and I am 7 years old this year." My mother starved to death a few days ago, and my father took my two older brothers to look for food. ”

Although Wang Jun had already guessed the facts, he was still a little sad when he heard Caiya say this.

He took out two flatbreads from his bag, handed them to the two sisters, and said, "Are you hungry, come and eat some." ”

Bean sprouts wanted to reach out and take the flatbread, but they were stopped by the sprouts, and said to Wang Jun: "Young master, thank you for your kindness, Daddy will come back with food in a while." ”

Wang Jun looked at Caiya's stubborn eyes from the flames, knowing that she still had a trace of hope in her heart, looking forward to her father's return as he said.

Sighing slightly, he said, "So you can eat my flatbread first, and then return the flatbread to me when your father comes back with food, do you think it's okay?" ”

"Goo." A few hungry voices interrupted the sprouts' thoughts, took the flatbread handed by Wang Jun, and said, "Thank you, young master." ”

Seeing this, Wang Jun hurriedly handed the bamboo tube to the two of them and said, "Drink some water, don't choke." ”

The sprouts took the bamboo tube and took a sip slowly, and then fed her sister a sip.

Wang Jun looked at the two of them eating, and also felt that he was hungry, so he took out a flatbread, put it on the fire to heat, and took out some bacon to heat, and gave some to the two sisters.

The sprouts took the bacon and gave it to the sprouts.

The bean sprouts were eating bacon, their bright eyes were full of joy, they tore off a small piece of jerky, stuffed it into the vegetable sprouts' mouth, and said, "Sister, you eat it too." ”

After eating Wang Jun's things, the two sides gradually became familiar with each other, and through conversation, they knew that they were from Henan, and there was a great drought in Henan, and their family could only leave, and the family was going to Luoyang, but Luoyang expelled them, and they could only flee to beg all the way to Yingchuan.

The rain outside is getting heavier and heavier, even with Wang Jun's excellent eyesight, he can't see the situation a hundred steps away, Wang Jun looked at the few dry firewood left on the ground, worried that the firewood was not enough.

Hold up the umbrella, brave the wind and rain in the gazebo to find a lot of wet firewood, back to the pavilion, I saw that the bean sprouts have snuggled in the arms of the sprouts and fell asleep.

Caiya looked at Wang Jun who came back, with a hint of joy on his face, and said, "Young Master, you're back." ”

Wang Jun stood at the entrance of the pavilion and ran the "Emperor Sutra" to dispel the chill before replying: "Yes! I went to find some firewood and put it next to the fire to bake. ”

Caiya hurriedly said: "Young master, just leave this kind of rough work to me, I do this at home." ”

Wang Jun patted the head of the vegetable sprouts and said with a smile: "Haha, thank you, just pick up some firewood, I can still do these things, I don't need your little girl to help." ”

Caiya was immediately unhappy when she heard this, slapped Wang Jun's hand away, her face was unhappy, and said, "I have grown up and can work." ”

"Yes, yes. I was wrong, think we sensible sprouts, apologize. Wang Jun was not annoyed at all, but said with a smile.
