The old man said: "In the future, we will have to farm, jade is valuable, and it can't be eaten as food, it still matters if the grain comes." ”

"It's good to farm, you can still fish." Before Yan Xiding came, he always said that Lanlufang was a very good place, and he longed for it.

"Farming is nothing, we also farmed when we were young." The old man suddenly sighed, and said: "Lanlufang can have a good life later, or because of Shixuan's father, his father knows jade and jade mines, and he led the people of our village to open mines, dig jade cars, grind jade, and sell jade, and also bring the whole village to become rich." ”

The old lady said, "Alas, rich or poor, now they are all the same, and it would be nice to be alive." ”

"Not really."

Everyone was silent, and after a while, Lu Yu asked again: "Uncle, which one is the original mansion of Lan Shixuan in the village?" ”

"Of course, it's the largest courtyard in the village, called 'Shake Garden'." The old man lowered his voice again and said, "Since the Shiyu family left, the courtyard has been empty, no one cares about it and no one takes care of it, and it was later occupied by a few outsiders. ”

"Outsiders? Is it also a foreigner who has fled? Lu Yu thought of Qi Xiang and them.

"It's not a refugee, it's a group of northerners." The old man shook his head and sighed again: "Those guys are here, and all of a sudden the people in our village will become refugees, hey." ”

There is no need to ask, Lu Yu also knows what is going on, that group of refugees from the north must not be easy to follow, if this group of people is not restrained, I don't know what they will do.

Yan Xiding was very indignant and shouted, "Those people from outside, have they bullied you? You don't have any idea of driving them away, do you? ”

"Bullying is definitely going to be bullied. When those guys first came, they were obedient, and they were all very enthusiastic and nice, but who knew that they would change later. The old man didn't seem to want to talk more about the outsiders, and said, "Well, you won't go back at noon, and have a meal at my place." ”

"What, grandpa, do you have enough food to eat?" Yan Xiding is "upright" after all.

The old man laughed and said: "We are short of people here, but there is no shortage of food, even if we don't farm for a few years, our family's food is enough." ”

Lu Yu felt that the old man's words were not true, now many places are the same, there are few people and many things, there is no shortage of food and drink, as long as you are willing to collect, there will always be food. So Lu Yu said: "Then we are not welcome to disturb the old man's house." There are fish in the Bayang Lake, and I want to go to the lake to see if I can get two fish back. ”

"Fish?" The old man's throat moved, and he asked Lu Yu: "We don't have any fishing nets or anything at home, can you fish empty-handed?" ”

Lu Yu smiled: "Maybe, I'll take a look." He beckoned Yan Xiding to go with him, and asked Yan Xi'an to accompany Lan Shaofang and stay at home to rest for a while.

Lan Shaofang was very excited at the moment and needed to calm down slowly.

Lu Yu carried the bamboo basket brought over with vegetables, and went to the lake with Yan Xiding to find the wooden raft. The two of them got on the raft, propped it up, and went to the lake a few miles from the shore. This Bayang Lake is very large, but the water is not very deep, it should be said that there are deep and shallow, extremely irregular, the eucalyptus trunk is deep, shallow to probe in the lake, it is obvious that the bottom of this Bayang Lake is uneven, there must be countless potholes. But that's fine, this kind of water shape, often more fish.

The two of them were in the lake, very far from the shore, and even if someone was watching on the shore, they couldn't see what Lu Yu was doing, so he had the courage to use a spell to force out two mandarin fish and two grass carp from the water, these four fish are quite big and fat, they should have lived for a long time and experienced many hardships to survive so far.

Lu Yu felt sorry for these four fish, and silently wished them a good birth in the next life.

There were not many fish in Bayang Lake, and Lu Yu didn't catch any more, so he took Yan Xiding, supported the wooden raft, and rowed to the lake.

Yan Xiding was carrying the fish, and suddenly said, "Brother Da Yu, can we find Shaofang's hometown?" ”

"Sort of, nine times out of ten." Lu Yu said with a smile: "Shaofang actually has a brother, are you afraid of Xiding?" ”

"What am I afraid of? It's good to have a brother. Yan Xiding felt that Lu Yu's words were a little inexplicable, and said: "It's a pity that Shao Fang's family doesn't know if he is still there." Brother Da Yu, you said that Shaofang's father went to work as an official in other places, and obviously went east, why was she left in the mountains and forests in the east? ”

Lu Yu thought about it, shook his head and said, "I don't know, maybe there are other changes." After pondering for a moment, Lu Yu suddenly said again: "Xiding, do you remember the place where we rested at noon yesterday?" ”

Yan Xi thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Remember, that place seems to be a little special to Shao Fang, let's go there in the future, take Shao Fang with you, maybe it can remind her of something." ”

"Well, it's teachable."

"Hey, hey." Yan Xiding had a lot more positive shapes today, he was silent for a moment, and then asked, "Brother Da Yu, what if we can't find Shao Fang's family, then what should we do?" ”

"Can't find it?" Lu Yu groaned and said, "If you can't find it, there's no way, there are more people in this world who don't have families." Besides, doesn't she still have us? ”

"That being said, if she really can't find her family, she will definitely be sad."

"It's going to be sad, but it's not going to be as sad as you think." Lu Yu smiled and said: "Shao Fang was separated from her family at a very young age, and since she can remember, she has never seen her parents and family again, and her relationship with her family was not very good before. So I think that Shao Fang's search for her family is just for a thought in her heart, and she doesn't have to find her family. ”

Yan Xiding frowned and thought about it, then nodded and said, "What you said seems to make sense, so even if Shaofang really can't find his family, it doesn't matter that much, right?" ”

"I can find the best, but this world is big, and after years of disasters, no one knows whether her family is dead or alive now, and where it is." Lu Yu shook his head and said, "Anyway, we can't have too much hope." ”

Yan Xiding nodded heavily and said, "Well, even if I can't find it, I will persuade Shaofang not to be sad and discouraged, because we will always accompany him." ”

Lu Yu smiled and thought, "You can just accompany her all the time, I won't accompany her." ”

The wooden raft was propped up to the shore, and Lu Yu and the others carried the fish and returned to the old man's house. The old man didn't believe that Lu Yu would get the fish back, but when he saw the live fresh fish being placed on the ground, he was very surprised, and his family was all surprised.

The old man's grandson looked only eight or nine years old, but the old man said that he was eleven this year, and it was because the days had been bad and he had not eaten well in the past few years, so the children were not good, thin and small, and their faces were yellow. Seeing this child, Lu Yu suddenly felt that the four fish seemed to be a little less.

Of course, Lu Yu didn't need to make the lunch meal, the old man's daughter-in-law's skills seemed to be good, and she was not stingy, she got three of the four fish at a time, one mandarin fish was steamed, one grass carp was braised in a pot, and one was stewed with cabbage, and a mandarin fish was left.

The fish is very fresh, the dishes are also very fresh, and it is carefully cooked, which is naturally full of fish fragrance and fragrance. Lu Yu and the four of them can often eat fish and meat, but it is nothing, and the old man's family of five can't help but swallow the saliva after the dish is served.

Lu Yu sighed secretly, and quietly instructed Yan Xiding to let him pay a little more attention when he ate, as for the two girls, Lu Yu felt that there was no need to remind them.

The old man was very polite and invited Lu Yu and the four of them to dinner, and Lu Yu didn't refuse. This hall is spacious, and there is a table of eight immortals in the hall, the table is not small, it is full, and it is not very crowded.

There are dishes on the table, as well as white rice, and the old man beckons Lu Yu and the four of them to eat and eat, don't be polite. Lu Yu said that he was not hungry and couldn't finish a bowl, so before eating, he gave half a bowl to the grandson of the family. Although the old man said that their family is not short of food for the time being, who knows if this is true, or whether there will be a shortage in the future.

After being polite, everyone was about to move their chopsticks to eat, when Yan Xiding suddenly said, "Someone is coming, or come to us." ”

Of course, Lu Yu and Yan Xi'an also heard someone coming, but the two didn't care, and as soon as Yan Xiding's voice fell, they heard someone laughing outside the gate: "Hey, Lan Laosan, what are you doing at home?" Strange smells. ”
