"Grandma Li, you have to take care too."

Ye Tingcheng sat on the wheel of the cart and said softly before the ox cart started.

"We'll definitely meet again."

"Well, well, yes, it will!"

Aunt Li nodded vigorously, raised her arm, and wiped the corners of her eyes with her sleeve.

She can't cry, she wants to watch these two good children leave, but she can't see nothing in the blur of tears.

"Grandma Li, go back."

With a slight shake of the reins, the ox cart slowly walked into the twilight.

"Hey......"

Although Aunt Li nodded, she didn't move.

She stood at the door, watching the ox cart all the time, into the twilight, out of the village, out of her sight, until she was gone, and there she was still standing, motionless, as if she had become a statue.

Ye Chengcheng didn't look back until the moment when the ox cart walked outside the village.

I saw Aunt Li like a statue, the night breeze blew her hair, and her white hair was so conspicuous in the night.

Forcing himself to turn back, Ye Tingcheng closed his eyes to prevent the emotions in his eyes from being revealed.

Even if no one saw it, she still covered it up.

Someday, someday we'll be reunited, definitely.

The ox cart walked slowly along the road, sometimes bumpy, sometimes steady.

The road that stretches forward winds and turns, and little by little it disappears into the twilight.

Looking at the past, it was as if she and Ling Xiao's road ahead, winding and dim.

However, Ye Tingcheng turned his head and looked around, and what he saw was the oil lamps that had just been lit.

Although it is inconspicuous, it is an indispensable highlight in this dusk.

She also knew that one of these many oil lamps was lit by Aunt Li herself, and she held it to the gate with her own hands and held it high.

It is to illuminate the way forward for them, and also to let them have hope in their hearts, and not to lose faith in the face of the vast road ahead.

In this way, the ox cart walked all the way out of Xiaoqing Village, walked through the villages along the way, and went straight ahead.

After passing through the village where the rich landlord's house was located, Ye Tingcheng turned into the ox cart: "Ling Xiao, are you hungry?" ”

In addition to the thick mats in the ox cart, there are also food prepared by Aunt Li's family.

Some are for them to eat on the road, while others can be left for a longer period of time.

Aunt Li's hands are skillful, Ye Tingcheng just said a few words, and she made up spicy noodles to eat.

Ling Xiao can't eat spicy food for the time being, but Ye Tingcheng can, and he likes this taste.

In this cold winter, take a bite of fragrant and spicy spicy strips, well, and suddenly the body warms up.

In order to make this spicy strip, Aunt Li also deliberately soaked the beans, grinded for a whole morning, and used half a day of hard work to make a stack of bean skin.

I was not afraid to fry peanuts and beans, fried peppers, and made this big pot of spicy strips.

But none of them were left, and all of them were loaded with them.

"I'm not hungry."

When he came out, Ling Xiao ate a few small snacks prepared by Ye Tingcheng.

When Ye Qingcheng came in and asked him about the ox cart, he didn't feel hungry yet.

"Come on, let's eat a bun, it was specially steamed by Grandma Li. There are a lot of good ingredients in it, and the taste is guaranteed to be delicious. ”

Speaking of which, Aunt Li's steamed buns are eaten, but meat buns are not often eaten.

Generally, it is a vegetarian bun with a thin skin and a large filling.

There is no way, although Xiaoqing Village is not rich, but there are still more vegetables than flour.

On weekdays, Aunt Li's family eats the most things made of corn flour, wowotou, or something.

In order to save some flour, not only should it be made into two noodles, three noodles, and all kinds of mixed noodles.

I will also eat cabbage dumplings, of course, they are all vegetarian dishes, with little oil, sometimes no oil at all, just mix it with salt.

However, even if you wrap vegetable dumplings, you still can't eat them many times a year.

Just like in the article she once read, Aunt Li is not the only one in Xiaoqing Village, most of the people, even the village chief's family, like to eat with elm money.

It's like the one she ate when she was a child, put some cornmeal, put elm money, steam it in the pot, and then mix it with the old pickled soup, the taste is also very good, and the most important thing is to be able to eat a full stomach.

And this time, the buns prepared for them by Aunt Li were stuffed with meat.

Not only is there a lot of meat, but even a lot of fairy vegetables are also put in.

There are also meat buns with radish filling, cabbage filling, and bean filling, eggplant filling, each of which is steamed ten.

Well, she also said one thing less, in addition to elm money, there are also fairy vegetables, which can not only fill the stomach, but also taste good and good.

When she went out this time, Aunt Li's family picked a lot of fairy vegetables, made them dried vegetables, and let them take them.

When it's time to eat, soak it in water and you're ready to eat.

Ye Tingcheng doesn't need to choose deliberately, as long as he takes a look, he will know which stuffing it is.

The ones she picked for Ling Xiao were all filled with fairy vegetables, and they were also specially left for Ling Xiao to eat.

Compared with other vegetables, fairy vegetables are the best for Ling Xiao to nourish and regulate the body.

"Okay." Ling Xiao took the bun she handed over and took a bite: "You eat it too." ”

As he spoke, he also handed Ye Tingcheng a bun.

"I don't eat buns, I eat this."

Ye Chengcheng smiled and took a spicy strip and two cornmeal cakes.

"This one tastes good and is nutritious enough."

In the past three days, she and Ling Xiao have experienced a violent trial of ice and fire, and in addition to detoxifying Ling Xiao, their bodies have been tempered.

Among them, her body is the most obvious, because the exhaustion of abnormal energy is pain, but as long as she bears this pain, she can have great benefits.

Not only have the meridians broadened, but the body has also become healthier.

She and Ling Xiao are like a person with a great body, and a half-healthy and half-healthy person.

So she saved the best for Ling Xiao, and she did it as usual.

Ling Xiao said suddenly, and when Ye Tingcheng looked over, he continued: "At the border pass, when it is the coldest time, eating a bite of spicy food will make people feel a lot warmer. ”

That's also because at the border gates, not only is eating and drinking not as good as in Kyoto, but sometimes even not enough to eat.

Because the supplies were not delivered in time, sometimes some bad food was delivered. Not only the soldiers under him, but also he, the man who said everything at the border, could not guarantee that he would get everything he deserved.

Whenever this happens, he has to find a way to get food, so that the soldiers below can be fed.

Eat well, eat meat, this can't be done.

Even wine is not always available.

The price of wine is not cheap, and because the production of grain is not very high, the price of good wine is ridiculously high.

Even if you buy the cheapest wine, if you buy too much, it will be a lot of silver.
