Chapter 219: Passing by
From a distance, it's just a village of a dozen families.
"How?" Autumn leaves looked at it for a while, and felt a little strange, but she couldn't say what was strange.
Wei Zhi had already urged the horse to gallop down the gentle slope.
“…… My father and my mother died that time....my man ran as fast as he could with Bao'er....." Wei Zhi was repeating on his horse the family history that Qiu Yehong had heard and memorized these days.
"There's no one else in your family except your father?" She asked, taking a breath.
Qiu Yehong didn't have time to open her mouth to answer, Wei Zhi had already started to talk about his family again.
"....When I left, Bao'er was only a few months old, and the dough was generally ....." As she spoke, she began to shed tears again.
Autumn leaves glanced at her, and couldn't imagine what kind of dough method she gave birth to a child with such a thick black appearance....
"What do you see..."Wei Zhi smiled with tears in his eyes, glared at her, and shook his withered hair, "I think I was also a flower-like character back then, famous in ten miles and eight villages..."
Akiba Hong laughed out loud and approached the village with a smile and a smile, her eyes fell on the front, and the laughter stopped abruptly.
"Don't believe it..."Wei Zhi said with a smile on her lips, she turned her head to see that Qiu Yehong's face was wrong, "What's wrong?"
Then you have to turn your head.
Autumn Leaf Hong suddenly reached out and moved her head to prevent her from moving.
"Wei Zhi... Don't look." Autumn leaves said in a hoarse voice.
This sentence made Wei Zhi's whole body stiffen, don't look at it.....
Why can't I see it when I get home...
She let out a low roar in her throat, ripped off Akiba's red hand, and turned her head away.
Low grass houses, collapsed earthen walls, and the former firewood piles and wheat stomping under the crazy barren grass.
The sun sets, giving this place a warm glow.
Akiba knew what it was that feeling that something was wrong when she saw it from the beginning.
At this time, it is dinner time, and such a village must be full of smoke, but at this time, the village in front of you is dead and silent.
She couldn't help but shudder, Wei Zhi had already jumped off the horse and rushed towards the village, her voice calling for her family echoed in the village, and only echoes echoed her.
This village, no longer exists, like many border villages, after a raid by the Ögedei people, disappeared from the map.
Autumn leaves bent over to blow up the bonfire, took out two wild fruits in her arms, and ate them rattling.
She glanced at Wei Zhi, who was next to two tombs, one large and one small, and had kept this posture unmoved since she found this in a dilapidated courtyard.
"Wei Zhi," Qiu Yehong looked at her dull eyes, holding back the sour nose, "You cry out....."
Wei Zhi didn't speak, didn't move, and pressed his face to the grave, as if it was a warm embrace.
Three days later, Autumn Leaf Red looked at Wei Zhi, who was in a state of mind but had a hint of brilliance in his eyes.
"You're really not coming with me?" She asked, grasping the horse's reins.
Wei Zhi shook his head, "This is my home, my men and my children are all here, how can I go anywhere else?"
But this is already a deserted village...
"Are you doing it alone?" Akiba Red sniffed and asked.
Wei Zhi actually smiled rarely, "Me? You still care about you, you delicate young lady, you go on the road alone, you can't go far, you will definitely be robbed..."
Autumn leaves snorted and made a look at her to look down on me.
"You'd better stay here with me," Wei Zhi said.
"I'm going to find my dad." Qiu Yehong shook her head, with a smile in her eyes with firmness, "I once told my father that one day I was separated, and I would go to Ruzhou, the ..... of Bird's Head Lane in the south of the city in Ruzhou."
Knowing how firm her belief was, Wei Zhi didn't say anything more and watched Autumn Leaves go on the horse.
"Take care...," she said.
"Goodbye!" Autumn leaves arched her hand at her, and went to the horse's belly.
Wei Zhi followed a few steps, watching her walk away along the path, gradually turning into a black dot.
With a few thunders, when the raindrops of beans fell down, a black horse rushed directly into this simple pergola.
"What the hell!" A thin man jumped down immediately, shaking the gray cloth that was wet and sticking to his body, and took off the hat on his head, revealing a long, thin face with a scruffy beard.
"Do you want tea?" A hoarse voice suddenly sounded.
The man turned around in fright, and with an extra sword in his hand, he aimed it at the stout woman who was standing up in the corner of the tea shed.
The woman's face was unfazed, as if she had not noticed what was pointing at her throat.
"Guest officer, if you don't drink tea, you won't drink, and you don't need money to rest your feet." She spoke slowly, as she spoke, placing an iron kettle in her hand on the stove.
Only then did the man know that she was the owner of this pergola, and a hint of apology flashed on his face.
"Tell me a pot of tea," he said loudly as he sat down at the table next to him in order to alleviate the embarrassment.
So the woman came with a pot and made him tea.
"Auntie," the man looked at her and asked curiously, "how do you build a pergola here?"
This place is extremely remote, and it is not near the main road, and it is estimated that there will be few people in a year and a half.
"Oh, my house is here, the woman can't go far, the men and children in the province are not taken care of..."The woman said lightly, while reaching out and pointing back.
The man followed her gesture and saw that there was indeed a village not far away.
'Your home?' The man frowned, "Wei Jiatun?"
He looked at the woman a few times, "No, that village died three years ago..."
"Someone lives." The woman suddenly raised her voice, as if the words had angered her.
The man pursed his lips, did not speak again, took a bowl and drank a few sips of tea, and as if remembering something, he took out a piece of paper from his underwear, his clothes were half wet, but the paper was intact.
"Auntie, you sell tea here, have you ever seen this girl?" He shook off the paper, got up, and walked over to the woman.
The woman did not look at the painting, but looked up at him, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
"You... Looking for her too?" The woman asked, looking at him, "Who are you?"
The man was stunned when he heard this, and then he was shocked.
"Auntie." He grabbed the woman's arm, "Have you seen her?" You've seen her, haven't you? Where is she?"
The woman was scratched by him and frowned.
"Young man, there is a difference between men and women, and my man will be angry like you," she muttered dissatisfied.
The man hurriedly let go of his hand and bowed.
"Auntie, auntie, grandma....." He said repeatedly, his voice distorted a little from being so excited, "Have you seen her?" Where is she?"
The woman looked at him, and the young man was actually quite handsome, so she couldn't help but smile and look at the end of the path.
Sample, pretending to be quite similar, and said that there is no good match, only Dad.....
"Auntie, auntie..."The man looked at her woman and seemed a little stupid, and asked again in a hurry.
Wei Zhi came back to his senses, pursed his lips and smiled, and shook his head, "I don't know where she is now....."
The man sighed, and his face suddenly showed disappointment....
“…… When she left, she said that she was going to Ruzhou, but if this day is counted, I guess she hasn't arrived yet..."Wei Zhi continued, tilting his head and thinking seriously, "Well, maybe her father has caught up with her....."
The information brought by this sentence was too much and too pleasant, which made the man in front of him a little sluggish for a moment.
"She... She...."The man muttered, "still alive....."
After saying this, tears burst down.
The woman's nose was sour, and she reached out and patted the man's arm.
"To be alive is for you, and to be alive," she muffled.
"Auntie, you said that Uncle Fu has also been here?" The man took a few deep breaths and calmed down and asked.
Wei Zhi nodded and smiled, "Three days earlier than you....."
"That," the man couldn't help but lose his heart again and grabbed the woman's arm, "Was she okay when you saw her?" Have you lost weight? Are you crying?"
Wei Zhi glared, "Crying?"
She snorted twice, "This dead girl is very powerful, only to make others cry, where will she cry... If you want to be thin, it is estimated that you will be thin, and if you are hungry for a long time, you will inevitably lose weight just by eating wild fruits and weeds....."
As he listened, the man's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked the woman up and down.
"How... Are you familiar with Hui Niang?" He asked, his eyes full of doubt.
"Sort it out," Wei Zhi smiled, "I've lived with her for a while."
The man glanced at her, raised his hand and said thank you, then hurriedly got on his horse and was about to leave, grabbed the reins and stopped, and asked shyly with a little expectation: "Auntie, did she mention me to you?" ”
"You? What is it called? Wei Zhi asked.
"Zhao Qing, oh, she may be used to calling me Li Qing...."Li Qing said, a glimmer of light in her eyes.
"That's not true," Wei Zhi shook his head and smiled, as if he wanted to comfort him, and hurriedly added, "Actually, we don't know each other very well, so we haven't spoken much." ”
Li Qing smiled, he turned over on his horse, arched his hand and said thank you, rushed into the heavy rain, and galloped away.
"Hey, it's another one who didn't give money...."Wei Zhi pouted and said, a smile appeared on his face, looking at the non-stop rain, slowly packing up his things, "The weather is not good, call it a day and go back early, Bao'er and his father should be bored at home, why don't you go back and talk to them....."
Holding up the oil-paper umbrella and walking out of the pergola, Wei Zhi looked up at the direction the man was running, and he didn't know if the girl had seen her father.
"How good it is to be alive...."Wei Zhi muttered, slowly walking towards the village.
And at this time, the living autumn leaves are not very good.
Tattered clothes, unkempt, and dragging a dog-beating stick in his hand, Qiu Yehong, who was squatting in front of the door of a happy event in a village, drooling as he watched the wedding banquet that was set up in front of the door.
"Go, go, stinky begging for food... Stay away and wait—" someone waved her away.
All the attention of Akiba Red is on the nearest table, fried meat with beans, eggs with green onions, salted beans.....
God, God, Guanyin Bodhisattva, Buddha, Jesus Maria......
Give her food.
"Here, give—" A woman came up and threw two steamed buns to her, "The master will reward you for your joy." ”
Autumn leaves are overjoyed, thanks to the fairy manifestation, she grabbed two steamed buns, hurriedly walked away a few steps, and ate them in two bites.
If Wei Zhi saw her now, he would definitely drop his jaw with laughter, how could he be like this?
To be honest, Akibahong didn't know how she got mixed like this, and along the way, in order to eat, she first exchanged a horse for a donkey, then a donkey for a sheep, finally a chicken, and finally a few eggs.....
This is not the most critical, the most critical thing is that she is obviously going to Ruzhou, why is she now at the boundary of Yuzhou?
Isn't it right to go east and south....?
Autumn leaves scratched her head, brushing away the messy hair that covered her eyes, she used to go out with Fu Wencheng, she never knew that walking turned out to be such a brain-wrenching thing, there were so many dogs, and she never knew that rabbits and pheasants were so difficult to catch.....
Father.....
Lot.....
I'm hungry.........
