Chapter 30: Xiangyang Village

Fu Ping'an followed the woman and the little girl to a village surrounded by tall walls on all sides, and the city gate was wide open, and the scene in the village could be seen at a glance.

There are hundreds of households, and the village is a little dilapidated, and from time to time there are villagers walking past the city gate, greeting each other.

"We call Xiangyang Village here, there are too many 100,000 mountain beasts, although there are no particularly powerful demonic beasts at the foot of this mountain, but just a first-order steel-haired pig is enough for us ordinary villagers to stand it, so many villages have moved away, and only we are left at the foot of this mountain Xiangyang Village, the only one with a city wall. The woman's name is Cheng Juan, she is very good at talking, and from the conversation, Fu Ping'an learned that the war in the Beacon Empire is tight, and Xiao Hua'er's father was dragged by the Beacon Empire to recruit troops in the early years, and he has not returned yet.

And this Xiangyang Village is a city before the founding of the Beacon Empire, due to the growing strength of the empire, the territory is becoming more and more extensive, the original border of the 100,000 mountains slowly became the hinterland of the empire, this city is better than nothing, and finally vacant, slowly people settled here, Xiangyang Village was born.

Fu Ping'an followed the mother and daughter across the bluestone slab bridge at the city gate, and under the bridge was a pool of clear springs.

"Hey, little flower girl, why did you come back so early today?" a middle-aged uncle stood straight on the city tower with a red tassel spear in his hand, and greeted him familiarly.

"Brother Liu, it's you standing guard today, there are guests at home, come back early, make some food, do you want to come to the house to sit down?"

"I'm not going, I'm so familiar with it, what are you still polite to me? I'm going to eat your little flower girl's vegetable wowo, do you still use your name? smell the smell and I'll go!" the middle-aged man laughed.

"Hmph! Caiwowo is only eaten by me and my eldest brother, not Uncle Liu!" the little girl also said in a milky voice.

"You little white-eyed wolf. The middle-aged man's tone was very doting, it seems that this little girl must be very popular in the village.

Fu Ping'an greeted the middle-aged man with a slight fist, and then followed the woman into the village.

Turning and turning down came to a small courtyard surrounded by a fence, in the small courtyard one side of the green grass, dotted with a few clusters of flowers, blooming very vigorously, on the other side is planted a lot of melons, fruits and vegetables, insects and birds chirp constantly, very pleasant, in the middle is a cobblestone paved sheep intestine path, at the end of the path is three thatched huts connected together.

"Wow, auntie, your little courtyard is so beautiful. Fu Ping'an said with sincere admiration.

The little girl next to her seemed to have been waiting for Fu Ping'an's words for a long time, and immediately accosted: "That's, these flowers and plants are all planted by me, aren't they?" After the little girl finished speaking, she proudly raised her little head with two braids, and looked at Fu Ping'an with bright eyes without blinking, as if to say: Praise me, praise me, if you don't praise me, I will ignore you.

"Xiaohua'er is really ingenious, Bing Xue is smart, and she is the most capable little girl in the world!" Fu Ping'an said a few words to praise the girl that he had learned from the Xu Family School.

"Big brother is so good, you are so good, although Xiaohua'er doesn't understand what it means, but those words are so good, Hua'er likes it!" The little girl hugged Fu Ping'an's arm, and her face was full of lovely smiles.

The woman opened the fence door, walked through the sheep intestine path, walked into the thatched hut in the middle, poured a cup of warm water for Fu Ping'an, and poked the little girl's forehead with her finger with a thick smile, "Plant a flower and plant and see what you can bear, which family in the village doesn't know about you, and now you come to show off to this son." ”

The little girl said disapprovingly: "That's natural, I finally have an advantage, of course, I have to tell everyone, there are advantages to be liked by everyone, otherwise everyone thinks that I will only be naughty, I will not like flowers, flowers will not be able to marry, there is an advantage to marry a good man." ”

Hearing this, the warm water just entered the throat of Fu Ping'an's "poof" and squirted out again, although the child's words are unscrupulous, but this little girl is too violent.

The woman's face was slightly embarrassed, "Childe, let you see a smile." Then he glanced at Xiaohua'er angrily, "You are a little self-aware, how old are you, you want to get married?" ”

"What's so shameful about this, girls have to get married, my future Langjun will be a general, a general who is more powerful than his father!"

Fu Ping'an felt a pain in his heart, and after listening to the little girl's words, he inexplicably reminded him of Yue Wushuang, and secretly scolded himself for being useless, people were just using themselves to please his father-in-law, and he still couldn't forget her.

"Here, big brother, try the vegetable nest made by my mother, it's delicious, and everyone in the village loves to eat it!" The little girl held a golden-colored cornmeal nest in her hand, which was mixed with a lot of green vegetables, and this so-called vegetable nest was what she used to eat when she was in the Xu family, and it was something that the Xu family thought that dogs would not eat, but she didn't expect that in this village, it was the daily food eaten by the villagers.

But when Fu Ping'an looked at the little girl while gnawing on the vegetable nest in her hand, and reluctantly handed the other one to Fu Ping'an, Fu Ping'an's heart was sour, a group of disgusting and dirty Xu family beasts occupied and wasted the most and best resources, but these kind-hearted, hardworking and kind ordinary people who rose and sunset and rested were ......

When the woman saw that the thin young man was stunned when he looked at the vegetables he made, he always stopped eating, and then suddenly it dawned on her, although the young man had no parents, but seeing that the young man was dressed on weekdays, he must have lived a life of fine clothes and fine food, where could he still see the coarse chaff he made.

I looked at my daughter who was living hard, her eyes were full of sorrow, her husband went on an expedition, and the big house could not accommodate her mother and daughter, so she had to take her daughter away from home, came here, lived a poor life, and let her daughter suffer with her.

The woman stroked a tear from the corner of her eye, and said unnaturally: "Son, my poor house is cold and inconsiderate, and I hope to forgive me." ”

Fu Ping'an woke up, gnawed off half of the vegetable nest in one bite, and hurriedly said: "No, it's delicious." ”

The little girl wanted to reach out and pat Fu Ping'an's shoulder, but found that Fu Ping'an was much taller than her mother, and she couldn't reach it at all, so she had to pat Fu Ping'an's arm and said proudly: "Yes, I didn't lie to you, my mother's food is the best." ”

The woman looked at Fu Ping'an who was chewing in amazement, she was used to eating delicious food, she had seen all the Zhong Ming Ding food, and suddenly one day she found that she could only eat those dregs of bran that she would not look at on weekdays, and she had also experienced the feeling of falling into hell in an instant from heaven, and she couldn't swallow it at all at first, this thin young man really did not dislike it, the woman only thought that this was the young man taking care of his own feelings and did not want to say it.

I was very moved in my heart, so I said from the bottom of my heart: "Childe, you are a good person!"
