Three villages in Toyota County.

Toyota County is a village not far from the cold bone city, surrounded by a large area of mountains and rocks, the three villages are like an old man who can never eat enough, and he is still breathing.

The three villages were already poor, the fields in the mountains were originally scarce, and the crops planted in the fields were getting worse and worse year by year, but the tenant rent tax was getting bigger and bigger year by year, and the burden of life was pressed on every villager in the village who was not well fed and clothed, making these villagers even more miserable.

As the night slowly entered the quiet world, the small wooden door of a family suddenly "creaked", and a thin figure slowly groped its way forward in the darkness.

This is an old farmer, because of the weight of life, his body is already bent in his forties, as if he is sixty or seventy years old.

He groped his way through the darkness and walked forward quickly, and soon came to Liu Laohan's house in the east of the village, knocked on the door, and was familiar with the door.

This person is none other than Zhang Er, the poorest and poorest person in the three villages. Zhang Er's family is the poorest family in the village, and he can't even eat a bite of white rice, let alone meat, all year round.

According to Zhang Er's words, he had eaten meat, but that was twenty years ago, when he went up the mountain to cut down a tree, and saw a rabbit crashed and died on a tree, so he took it back to his home, and the whole family ate it secretly. It's okay to have a snake or a bird, but it's a pity, if you don't have it, you don't have it.

Why be sneaky? Because you can't make a loud noise about it, and if you let the neighbors know, the whole village will know about it, and the whole village will know about it. It is estimated that Zhang Er's family will not even be able to drink a sip of soup, let alone eat meat.

You can't help it, you can't eat meat in front of the whole village, can you?

Soon, Liu Laohan's door was opened. The head of a man with a wrinkled face sticking out of it was Liu Laohan. Liu Laohan's family is relatively wealthy, but the richness is only compared with Zhang Er's stunned.

"Third Brother Zhang, why are you here?" Seeing that the person who came was Zhang Erzi, Liu Laohan hurriedly opened the door and let Zhang Erzi walk in. The friendship between Zhang Erzi and Liu Laohan is the best in the whole village. So even if Zhang Erzi's family was poor, he didn't look down on him.

Of course, who is rich these days? Unless it is the family of the landlord and the eunuch who have suffered a thousand cuts, otherwise everyone is equally poor, so what's so funny?

Fifty steps and a hundred steps, today our family has eaten wild vegetable soup, today my family eats the root nest, and tomorrow my family will eat wild vegetables and sour food.

Poor, poor, poor. The peasants of the Shenlong Empire and even the whole world can only be expressed in terms of poverty.

"You're a little old man. Then come in. Liu Laohan smiled slightly and said: "Today, your sister-in-law went back to her parents' house and brought a few old bones that have paused a few times. Come in, come in, just in time for the soup. ”

Liu Laohan said enthusiastically, but Liu Laohan's son, daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law and grandson were unhappy. I finally got a few pork bones that were stewed dozens of times, and the meat on them was stewed without even the bone marrow inside, and I didn't expect this old guy to smell it. Isn't this about taking fewer sips?

Could it be that this old fellow's nose is dog-like? Even if you are a dog, you are not so sensitive, right?

"Come on, big brother, although it is a bone that has been stewed several times, there is still a little bit of water, you are welcome. "Liu Laohan's daughter-in-law saw Zhang Erzi come in, and she was not embarrassed to drive him away, and she was a guest when she entered the door, not to mention that it was still a village where she didn't look up and look down every day, if she drove him out today, how could her family gain a foothold in the village in the future? The people in the village still want to be face-saving, even if they are poor, they can't be poor.

"Come on, big brother, come and drink some, warm your stomach, and open meat. Liu Laohan's daughter-in-law handed the bowl to Zhang Erzi, under the dim lamp, the soup in the bowl couldn't be seen clearly, it was just like boiled water.

Yes, it is estimated that boiled water still tastes like this soup, if Zhang Er was stunned before, he would never be polite to them, but now, it is different.

"No, no, I've eaten. Zhang Er smiled slightly, pushed the bowl away, and said, "I've really eaten it, I'm full." ”

"Brother, what do you mean by this? Didn't I just ask you to come over and drink the broth when I dislike being my brother?" Liu Laohan saw that Zhang Er was stunned and didn't eat his own soup, his face was a little ugly, and he thought that Zhang Er was still angry that he didn't call their family over to drink soup.

Looking at the bowl, Zhang Er couldn't help but smile, Liu Laohan's son and daughter-in-law, and grandchildren couldn't help but secretly sad in their hearts: It's over, we have to drink a few sips of broth again. Broth, that's broth!

"Brother Liu, I'm the eldest brother, what kind of person I am, don't you know?" Zhang Er was stunned and smiled slightly, and said: "If you really have broth, big brother, it's no problem for me to drink a few sips, but you're not broth at all, it's obviously boiled boiled water." ”

Hearing Zhang Er's stunned words, the faces of Liu Laohan's family suddenly turned extremely pale, and Liu Laohan's whole body trembled.

What does this old guy mean by that? Is it looking down on our family? Irony, this is definitely a sarcasm for our family!

If you are so young, Liu Laohan will definitely beat Zhang Er to the ground with one punch, his grandmother, Lao Tzu kindly invited you to drink broth, but you sarcastically mocked us, do you think our old Liu family is easy to bully?

Although there is no meat in this broth, it is the heart of our old Liu family!

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward, and no one spoke first, but those angry eyes told Zhang Er that he was already unpopular in this family.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, Zhang Er smiled embarrassedly, then took out a small piece of cloth from his chest and opened it.

In the dim light, the contents of the small cloth emitted a golden light, and ten gold coins lay impressively inside the cloth.

Yes, ten gold coins, which look so dazzling in the dim light of the sycamore.
