The woman looked at Wei Luo with a little curiosity in her eyes. Wei Luo saw her look up, his heart was happy, and he hurriedly strode closer to her, and said with his hands in the distance: "I've seen my aunt, I'm a passerby." She was a little unaccustomed to these half-literate words, and the tone of her speech seemed jerky.

The woman stared at Wei Luo vigilantly, she saw that Wei Luo was thin and beautiful, and he was not wearing a sharp weapon, not like a barbarian, so she was only vigilant and did not have much fear.

Wei Luo swallowed his saliva, and saw that the woman was staring at him with a pair of godless round eyes, and her feet were ready to fold into the house, and she couldn't care about the words in a hurry, so she simply said directly: "Dare to ask the eldest lady if she has straw sandals?" I'd buy it. With that, she turned her palm forward, revealing the three knife coins that she had prepared a long time ago.

When the woman saw the knife coin in her hand, her eyes lit up, she nodded, and said in a thick Chu Di dialect: "Yes." As she spoke, she looked at Wei Luo's feet covered by the robe, and vaguely glanced at the beautifully embroidered uppers, and couldn't help but look up at Wei Luo again in wonder. At this moment, there was a faint surprise and cringe in her eyes when she looked at Wei Luo.

Seeing her demeanor, Wei Luo made a wording in his heart, strode to the woman, crossed his hands again, and said loudly: "Auntie, I have been walking for a long time, and I am hungry in my belly, dare to ask Auntie if she still has food?" ”

Although the current Wei Luo is not good-looking, he has a generous demeanor and extraordinary bearing, and the clothes on his body are not sackcloth, is it still a nobleman? Thinking like this, the woman couldn't help but shrink her heart even more with fear, she nodded sneeringly, and said ethereally, "There is food, there is food." ”

As she spoke, the woman looked carefully at Wei Luo's placket and stepped back into the room. Wei Luo saw that she was uneasy, and secretly decided in his heart: Such a poor and honest person should not harm my heart. Thinking of this, Wei Luo's demeanor became more calm.

She followed the woman into the house, and as soon as she entered the house, a cool and comfortable air came to her face, which was completely different from the outside, and this smell made Wei Luo startled. She didn't know that although the thatched house was inconspicuous, it was extremely warm in winter and cool in summer, far more comfortable than the brick house she lived in before, and even more so than the newly built reinforced concrete box house in the city.

The room was very simple, with four walls, except for a wooden bed at the end of the room, and three or four stools made of tree roots in front of the bed.

There is also a small room on the right side of the thatched hut, which is separated by a piece of linen.

The woman hesitated as she walked towards the small room that was supposed to be the stove room, and looked at Wei Luo carefully. Her movements were really careful, and every time she met Wei Luo's eyes, she immediately shrank her head and hurriedly avoided her eyes.

She saw that Wei Luo had been following her, and she had come to the door of the stove room and was still following, so she stretched out her right hand and unconsciously pulled the linen curtain, and said in a snort: "You are a nobleman, you are not allowed to enter the stove room。。。。。。 No, no, I, the little woman, is saying that the stove is not easy to enter。。。。。。 ”

The more she spoke, the more nervous she became, and she couldn't express herself clearly. Wei Luo had already understood what she meant, and immediately stopped, saluted with both hands, and interrupted the woman's words, "I'm waiting for the eldest lady in the ping." ”

Wei Luo said, turned and walked to the stone bed, reached out and picked up a root stool and walked out of the room.

The floor was full of knee-high weeds, and there was only a clearing of three or four square meters under the eaves, and there were three feet wide paths on the left and right of the clearing.

Wei Luo sat quietly on the stool, she listened to the sound of the spatula coming from the thatched house, felt the coolness of the wind blowing on her body, and suddenly, her heart was extremely lost.

Just as she was in a daze, the woman's footsteps were heard. Wei Luo hurriedly stretched out his hand and rubbed his face, cheering up and looking at the woman who came out of the room.

The woman held a clay bowl with most of the green beans in it. These green beans were soaked in water, and there was not a trace of oil on them.

The woman presented the dishes and chopsticks to Wei Luo, and said sneeringly: "People in the countryside only feed on green beans and wild vegetables. ”

Wei Luo stretched out his hand to take the dishes and chopsticks, smiled reluctantly, and said, "It's okay." ”

There was no oil in this bowl, there was not half a grain of rice, Wei Luo was already hungry and had a stomachache, but looking at this bowl of blistered soybeans, he still didn't have any appetite.

However, if you don't have an appetite, you have to solve it all! Anyway, let's live first.

Thinking of this, she lowered her head and chewed the green beans in small pieces.

When the woman saw that she had begun to eat, she stepped back cautiously, and in a short time she had retreated to the right side of the thatched hut, and it seemed that she was ready to call back her man from the field behind the house.

Wei Luo caught a glimpse of this scene in the corner of his eye, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. Sighing slightly, Wei Luo put down the bowl and spoke, "Auntie, can you have straw sandals at home?" Buy it all for me. ”

She said as she stood up. Stretched out his hand and put the three knife coins on the stool, "Auntie, are these enough?" ”

"Enough, enough."

The woman replied in a loud voice. She looked at the knife coin on the stool, and then at Wei Luo, who was still thin and beautiful, and suddenly she was not afraid.

Wei Luo nodded, lowered his head and munched on the green beans.

Green beans are a very filling food, although there is no oil and no rice, this half bowl of green beans is in the stomach, and Wei Luo finally refreshed.

When she laid the empty bowl on the stool, the woman had come out of the house, and in her hand she had in her hand a string of straw sandals, which were connected with each other, five pairs in all.

Wei Luo stretched out his hand to take the straw sandals, and when he saw the woman looking at the knife coins on the stool, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Auntie, you can take these three knife coins, but they are enough?" ”

"Enough, enough."

The woman happily picked up the knife coin from the stool and responded in succession. Judging by the woman's expression, she was still satisfied with the deal.

Wei Luo didn't know that at this time, most of the rural people were used to bartering, such as knife coins, which were hard currency, and women were rare.

Wei Luo smiled, she crossed her hands, and said loudly: "In this case, then I have thanked the eldest lady." Wei Luo hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "Auntie, how long can you see the city in the north?" ”

The woman was stunned, she thought for a moment, and said, "I heard that it is about two or three hundred miles. ”

Two or three hundred miles? Doesn't that mean that you have to spend a few more days in the wilderness? Thinking of this, Wei Luo shuddered, and she frowned and asked, "How long will it take to see the village?" ”

The woman said, "It's twenty or thirty miles away." ”

Wei Luo breathed a sigh of relief, and after thanking him again, he turned around and strode towards the official road.

The woman watched Wei Luo leave, hurriedly put away the knife coin, picked up the dishes and chopsticks, lifted the stool, and ran back to the house.

After Wei Luo returned to the official road, he rearranged his baggage, not only took out five more knife coins and put them outside, but also put the remaining four pairs of straw sandals in the baggage.

The straw sandals were only on her feet, and her white and tender little feet hurt, Wei Luo hesitated for a while, but still gritted his teeth and put them on. Of course, she also blackened her feet when she wore straw sandals. As for the pair of embroidered shoes, Wei Luo was ready to put them away several times, because the embroidered shoes were still good and could be worn alternately. After such hesitation, Wei Luo still threw it away: this thing will reveal his identity, so it's better to abandon it. Accidents always come suddenly, and it is still useful now, but when the situation is urgent, and there is no time to discard it when the time comes, is it not a mistake?

In fact, if you want to say that it is comfortable, straw sandals are better than those embroidered shoes made of silk and exquisite. It's just that Wei Luo didn't get used to it for a while. The sandals were made for herself by the woman, and they were larger. But straw sandals are like this, there is no obvious feeling for a large two or three size. Wei Luo tightened the tether a little tighter, and felt that it fit quite well.
