Chen Nian grew up to the age of sixteen in Qingfeng Village, although he was rampant and domineering in the village, but he rarely followed everyone down the mountain to do business. On both occasions, when Mu Zhanyue was not in the village, she and Ye Xiaoqi sneaked out and followed behind to watch the excitement. was the only one who picked up the beam, and he didn't want to meet Feng Junyang, and then he didn't rob him of any property, but was robbed by him.
Chen Nian felt a faint pain in his heart, and was silent for a moment before he replied to Lu Xiao lightly: "My father-in-law is very strict with me, and I am not allowed to follow everyone down the mountain to do business." β
Lu Xiao was originally kind to tease Chen Nian to say more, but he didn't want her to be more depressed, and he didn't know which of his words was wrong for a while, so he had to keep his mouth shut. The two of them walked for a while, and suddenly heard a loud shout in front of them, and more than a dozen people suddenly appeared from the rocks on the side of the road, all holding knives and sticks, and the fierce gods stopped the front and back of the mountain road.
The current man in his forties shouted: "Friend, if you want to live, hurry up and take out all the belongings on your body!" β
Lu Xiao looked at the man carefully, but couldn't help laughing, turned his head and said to Chen Nian: "Hey! What a coincidence, it's them again! β
It's really a coincidence, these gang bandits are none other than the ones Lu Xiao just mentioned. It's just that the last time I met them, Chen Nian was still dressed as a woman, but when I saw him again, I changed into men's clothes, and because of the thick clothes in winter, my body shape was also much different, and it was like a different person. Even Lu Xiao also changed his outfit and grew a beard. The mountain bandits waited in the dark for a long time, but they didn't recognize the two of them.
As soon as Lu Xiao said this, the man in front of him heard that his voice was a little familiar, so he asked tentatively: "You two are-"
Chen Nian smiled and asked him, "Big boss, can you do business well these days?" β
The big boss took two steps forward with his knife, looked at the two of them carefully, and then exclaimed, "It's you two!" It's really a big flood that washed the Dragon King Temple, and the family doesn't know the family! Shame, shame! β
He hurriedly inserted the steel knife in his hand into the sheath, and hurriedly beckoned to the brothers in the four directions, shouting: "Hurry up and put them all away, these two are old friends!" β
The big boss stepped forward as he spoke, and Chen Nian and Lu Xiao also dismounted. Chen Nian glanced at the bandits who had gathered, and saw that the number of people was a little more than before, including both young and old, and smiled unconsciously: "Big boss, seeing that there are a lot more brothers under you, it can be seen that the business is good." β
"Oh, don't laugh at me Wen Daya," Wen Daya smiled bitterly and waved his hand, pointed out the people next to him to Chen Nian, and said: "Just these people, look at it, how many pieces are the materials that can do our business?" They were all forced to have no way to live, so they wanted to eat with me. β
As he was talking, there was a sudden cry of a child from the back of the crowd, Lu Xiao and Chen Nian were both stunned, but Wen Daya turned around with an annoyed face, and yelled at a thin young man behind him: "Cui Xiaoer, take care of your sister!" If she mourns Lao Tzu again, she will throw her into the mountains and feed the wild wolves! β
After he finished yelling, he complained to Chen Nian and Lu Xiao: "Look, is there a mother who comes to do business with nursing children?" β
Lu Xiaoqi said: "Why are there still children? β
Wen Daya heard him ask, and couldn't help but sigh, "No way, it's pitiful to say, the family went to visit relatives, but they didn't expect to meet a wild wolf in the mountains, and only two brothers and sisters were left dead." This kid ran with his sister all night, and when he passed out, he was still holding his sister, and we happened to see it, and it was really pitiful to look at, and he was rescued with a soft heart. β
Wen Daya said but was anxious, and said, "Damn! I've never seen such a stubborn boy, no matter where he goes, he carries this little girl on his back, it's really fucking infuriating! β
Here he kept complaining, and the boy was scrambling the child in his arms, but the child was crying more and more. Chen Nian hesitated for a moment, he couldn't bear it after all, he walked over and looked at the child in the young man's arms, and saw that he was only about a year old, wearing only a thin layer of cotton clothes, and his face was already a little blue, and he didn't know whether he was crying or freezing. Without thinking about it, she took off the big hat on her body, handed it to the young man, and said, "The child is wearing too little, you can wrap her thicker." β
The young man raised his eyes and looked at her with some wariness, and in silence took the big and wrapped the child in his arms carefully. Chen Nian noticed his hand, slender and white, although there were many scars, but at a glance it could be seen that he had been pampered before. The young man noticed that Chen Nian's gaze fell on his hand, and subconsciously hid his hand in his sleeve, and whispered to Chen Nian: "Thank you, Woman." β
"No, you don't." Chen Nian replied, glancing at the child who had gradually stopped crying because he was weak, and asked, "How old is this child?" β
There was a little more sadness in the young man's eyes, and he was silent for a moment, and then replied, "It's been eleven months." β
Chen Nian nodded, looked at the kid twice, and then returned to Lu Xiao's side. Lu Xiao didn't say anything, only silently draped the big drums on his body and put them on Chen Nian's body.
After such a short delay, the wind in the mountains was much stronger. Wen Daya knew that he couldn't afford to offend these two people, so it was better to coax them to leave more affection and see each other in the future, so he invited the two of them to go back to the village with him, and persuaded: "I am afraid that this day is going to change, if the two of you are not in a hurry, it is better to go to our village to avoid the wind and snow, although there is nothing to eat and drink, but there is a hot soup to warm the stomach." β
Although Chen Nian saw that this Wen Daya was not a wicked person, after all, he was still wary of these people, so he didn't want to go, he didn't want Lu Xiao to worry about her body, but he responded first, and then turned his head and said to her: "Didn't you also say that the wild wolf is powerful at this time?" It's better to let him go, and save us from finding a place to stay. β
"That's it, that's it." Wen Daya said busily.
Chen Nian is not good to say anything else, and it is better to have a house to avoid the wind and snow than to sleep in the wilderness, and Lu Xiao is by his side, and he is not afraid of these people making ghosts, so he responded: "It's okay, it's just to disturb Wen Da's family." β
Wen Daya was overjoyed when he heard that the two of them were willing to go, so he hurriedly ordered his subordinates and shouted, "Silly one, hurry up and go back first and ask the old king to boil a pot of hot soup." β
A big man responded and ran ahead first, and Wen Daya led Chen Nian and Lu Xiao to the village. Although he is a big boss who has a good reputation, he is so poor that he can't even support his subordinates, let alone raise horses. He walked in front to lead the way, and Chen Nian and Lu Xiao were not good at riding, so they had to lead the horse. The group walked along a sheep's intestine path through the mountains a few times, and only then did they arrive at the small dilapidated cottage.
The village is too poor, only seven or eight broken houses, and the half-high courtyard wall is built with stones, and two wooden gates are installed as the gate of the village. In such a village, he was neither afraid of stealing nor robbing, so Wen Daya only left an old man who was about to lose his teeth to guard it. When everyone arrived, there was a fire burning in the hall, and a large cauldron hung over the fire, and brown rice porridge should be boiling in it, and as soon as they entered the door, the aroma of rice rushed to their faces.
"It's been a tough year this year, and there's nothing to entertain you two, but the day before yesterday they shot a wild boar, and now there are some left, so I'll call someone to fetch it, let's roast and eat." Wen Daya asked Chen Nian and Lu Xiao to sit down by the fire, personally brought out a bowl of gruel for the two of them, and handed it to Lu Xiao first, "Let's drink a bowl of hot porridge to warm up first." β
Chen Nian was still wary of these people in his heart, afraid that they would do something with food, so he grabbed the bowl before Lu Xiao, but he was not in a hurry to drink the hot porridge, only held it in his arms with both hands to keep warm, and said with a smile: "Wen Da doesn't have to be busy, the two of us can use one bowl." β
The village is so poor, there are naturally a few bowls, and it really can't be divided according to the head, so Wen Daya didn't think much about it, and beckoned the rest of the people to come over to share the porridge and drink, and specially instructed: "Leave the thick one to Cui Xiaoer, so that he can feed his sister." β
Chen Nian saw it in his eyes, and said to Wen Daya: "Wen Da is a kind-hearted person. β
Wen Daya didn't know why she said this, hehe laughed dryly, and said, "Don't tease us, do our business, where is there anything good and not kind." β
Chen Nian smiled faintly at him, didn't explain much, turned his head and said to Lu Xiao: "I forgot, our dry food is still on horseback outside, take it and eat it with everyone." β
Lu Xiao got up and went outside the house to get the bags on horseback, came in, and took out the dry food brought by the two and distributed it to everyone. Wen Daya was very embarrassed, and said straightly: "How can this be done!" Now that we're here, how can we eat your two again. Having said that, when Lu Xiao handed over the cake, he didn't hesitate to reach out and take it.
There were already many people next to him who had finished drinking their share of gruel, and they took the dough handed by Lu Xiao with great gratitude, and devoured it. The big man who was called "Silly Big" even sighed loudly while eating: "But I haven't eaten this cake for many days, and this thing still chews strongly!" β
Wen Daya's old face turned red when he said this, and he immediately turned around and scolded the stupid avenue: "Eat you honestly, the dough can't stop your big mouth!" After he finished speaking, he turned back and explained to Chen Nian and Lu Xiao with a smile: "Actually, I didn't starve them much, we often go hunting, and we can eat meat almost every day." β
Chen Nian smiled, inadvertently handed the bowl in his hand to Lu Xiao beside him, but Lu Xiao pushed her back, pointed to the wild boar meat that had just been roasted on the fire, and said, "I only eat this." Chen Nian lowered his head and drank half a bowl of hot porridge, stuffed the remaining half bowl into Lu Xiao's hand, and said with a smile: "You drink it, this meat is very fragrant, and it hooks my gluttony, and I am waiting to eat some of this." β
This time, Lu Xiao didn't say anything, took the bowl of porridge that was still warm and drank it clean, but he looked up and asked Wen Daya: "Why are you so poor?" β
