Chapter Twenty-Four: Husbands and Couples in Distress
Feng'er and his mother looked at Fan Lie, Lin Yuxue and the two of them, a little surprised. They had never been to this place with outsiders, and in the past six years, Fan Lie and the two were the guests they had met for the first time.
"In Xia Fan Lie, he and his wife got lost in the mountains, and I don't know if I can make it convenient and ask for some water to drink. ”
Fan Lie and his wife stood at the door of the small courtyard and said to Feng'er's mother and son who heard the knock on the door.
Feng'er saw Fan Lie and the others, showing excitement, this was the first time to come to the family, and he was very happy.
"Mother, invite them into the house, they must be thirsty. ”
After listening to her son's words, Feng Erniang looked at Fan Lie and the two, she didn't look like bad people from her look, and it was so late again, so she opened the door of the small courtyard and invited Fan Lie and his wife into the hut where they lived.
In the house where Feng'er and his mother lived, an oil lamp was lit on a table made of mountain stone, and around the stone table were three stools made of wood.
There are two beds in the house. Let's say it's a bed, that is, two places on the ground that look like beds made of hay from the mountains.
The hut is two zhang long and one zhang wide, and is extremely simple. The house was very clean, and there was a bouquet of begonia flowers in a ceramic bottle by the window. This makes the humble room reveal a different kind of elegance.
Lin Yuxue was very happy to see the begonia flower, and she said to the beautiful woman in her forties in front of her: "Sister-in-law, this flower is very beautiful. ”
Feng'er spoke: "This flower was planted by my father for my mother, and my mother's name is Begonia." ”
Feng'er Niang, the woman named Begonia glared at her son. smiled at Fan Lie and his wife: "If you don't dislike it, there is still some porridge in the pot, I'll bring it to you." ”
"Thank you, sister-in-law, for your trouble. ”
Fan Lie knew that Lin Yuxue was hungry for a long time, and his stomach was also gurgling, so it was good to be able to eat something.
Feng'er happily set up the stool, he looked at Lin Yuxue and asked Fan Lie, "Where did my uncle and aunt come from, my aunt is so beautiful." ”
Lin Yuxue saw that Feng'er was cute, took Feng'er's hand and said, "We came from far away and got lost here, what's your name?"
"My name is Feng'er, Liu Feng'er, this is my father's name for me, what is my aunt's name?"
Feng'er's mother, Haitang said: "There is no size, how can you ask the name of the elders, come and help me." ”
Feng'er smiled and stuck out her tongue at Fan Lie and ran over.
Watching Fan Lie and the two eating, Haitang was secretly surprised by Lin Yuxue's beauty.
I saw Fan Lie and Lin Yuxue finish eating. Haitang said: "Our house is very simple, you two will spend one night." ”
Fan Lie and Lin Yuxue hurriedly thanked them.
Haitang made the big bed, took out a clean blanket, and handed it to Lin Yuxue.
Lin Yuxue thanked and put the blanket on the bed. Talking to Begonias about home.
"How can my sister-in-law stay in this place with Feng'er, although the environment is very beautiful, but life is too difficult. ”
Lin Yuxue's question made Haitang shake her head. She looked at Lin Yuxue and smiled helplessly: "We are the ones in distress. Feng'er's father died five years ago, and only our mother and son are left, in this world, it's not the same when you get there, just ask for food and clothing. ”
Lin Yuxue nodded, and couldn't help but think of her life in Yawan.
"Sister-in-law, what kind of place is this?" Fan Lie saw that the two women were a little sentimental, and couldn't help but ask.
"The place where the Ryuran Kingdom is near the Sea of Storms. The nearest city is also 10 days away.................. I wonder why you're from there, why did you get here?"
Haitang answered Fan Lie's question. But her rhetorical question made Fan Lie not know how to answer for a while.
"Our home is far from here. The two of us were traveling by boat, but the boat had an accident............ The two of us were lucky enough to go ashore. But I don't know where I went, but fortunately I came to my sister-in-law. My sister-in-law gave us food and left us to stay, and Mr. and Mrs. Cher thanked us here. ”
Lin Yuxue's words shocked Haitang and Feng'er: it turned out that their ship had an accident at sea, and it was really a fateful person.
Feng'er looked at Fan Lie and said, "The Sea of Storms is very dangerous, uncle and aunt dare to take a boat in the sea, so brave." ”
Haitang continued his son's words and said: "In our Liulan Kingdom, only those rich families have the ability to take boats, I think you are also rich, right?"
Fan Lie said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, we are also ordinary people, but we borrowed the light of our relatives, who would have thought that such a thing would happen." ”
"What are you two planning for now, this is a day's journey away from the nearest market. ”
Begonia's words made Fan Lie think in his heart: Their husband and wife are really in trouble here, and if they don't find something to do to make money, they will be hungry.
When Fan Lie and Lin Yuxue went up to the shore from the sea, Fan Lie found that they didn't have anything on them. Even the few talismans he made were gone.
Now they are just like when Fan Lie first arrived on Earth, with no long things and no pennis.
Haitang spoke, looked at Lin Yuxue and said: "If you husband and wife want to go back home, you have to earn some money as travel expenses." In this world, without money, it is difficult to move an inch. I still have some food at home, so you can bring it............ , the family has lost your information, I'm afraid it's going to be bad. ”
Fan Lie asked Haitang with a smile: "Sister-in-law, I don't know what you do for a living here, Xue'er and I are not in a hurry to go back for a while." We want to stay here for a while, I don't know if it's convenient?"
Lin Yuxue listened to Fan Lie's words, looked at Haitang and said, "Let's help my sister-in-law and Feng'er do some work, so that our lives can be better." ”
Fan Lie's words made Haitang a little surprised, and she thought to herself: Since you have reached a safe place, how can you not rush home, what are the thoughts of these two people?
Thinking of this, Haitang suddenly saw Lin Yuxue looking at Fan Lie's affectionate gaze, and realized in her heart: "The relationship is the little couple who eloped." ”
In her heart, Haitang regarded Fan Lie and the two as a couple who eloped for love. Thinking of this, her heart was relieved, so she smiled and said to Lin Yuxue: "Okay, since you want to live here, sister-in-law is welcome." I usually pick some herbs and wild vegetables in the mountains to sell, but there is enough food and clothing, if you husband and wife are not tired and dirty, you can live here with us. ”
..................................................................
When Fan Lie got up the next day, he walked out of the house, and he found that the environment here was extremely beautiful.
The place where Feng'er and her son live is a valley, and their house is located on a small hillside facing south. There is a small river on the left side of the house, which makes a tinkling sound.
In the middle of the valley, the vegetation is abundant. The sound of birdsong and running water makes people feel like a paradise.
Feng'er came from a distance with a bamboo basket, he saw Fan Lie standing in the courtyard, and said happily: "Uncle, look at what I picked." ”
Fan Lie smiled and took Feng'er's bamboo basket, and saw that there were mushrooms, bamboo shoots, and a few unknown plants in the bamboo basket, thinking that they were wild vegetables in the mountains.
Feng'er's words made Lin Yuxue also walk out of the room. Haitang brought breakfast out of the kitchen, she saw the contents of Feng'er's basket, and said with a smile, "Let's eat these at noon." ”..................................................................
Since he wants to live here, Fan Lie wants to build another yard here and build another house.
Fan Lie's proposal Haitang is very agreeable, last night was just a matter of rights, if Fan Lie and his family really want to live for a long time, they must have their own place to live.
As soon as he said it, Fan Lie found some usable stones and trees around, and built a house. With his third-layer Qi refining skills, his physical strength was much stronger than that of a flexible person. These physical tasks are difficult for him.
Lin Yuxue also followed Fan Lie to help, handing him small objects from time to time.
Looking at the busy Fan Lie and Lin Yuxue, who carefully wiped Fan Lie's sweat, Haitang couldn't help but think of the scene when she and her husband were in the past.
Feng'er smiled and said to his mother: "Mother, I think Uncle Fan Lie and Aunt Xue'er are very strange, why do they look at each other with that kind of eyes? Aunt Xue'er also wipes her uncle's sweat, won't your uncle wipe it himself?"
Haitang patted Feng'er lightly with her hand and said, "What do children know, when you are older and marry your mother's daughter-in-law, you will understand." ”
Haitang's words made Feng'er a little puzzled, why she married her daughter-in-law to know the truth that her aunt wiped her uncle's sweat?..................................................................
The new house was built by Fan Lie and Lin Yuxue in three days. He and Lin Yuxue's new house is about ten meters away from the small courtyard of Begonia mother and son, the size is about the same as Feng'er's house, and the same wall is built.
With the help of Begonia, Lin Yuxue found some hay and other things to make a bed in the mountains and forests, and made a big bed in the house they had built.
Haitang brought some extra bedding from her home to Lin Yuxue and covered it with her. Only then did he smile and said: "This is like a home, you two young people, tonight is a cave room." ”
Haitang's words made Lin Yuxue's face red, she looked at Haitang shyly and said, "Sister-in-law, we have been married a long time ago, not what you think." ”
Haitang knew that Lin Yuxue was thin-skinned, she patted Lin Yuxue's hand and said, "I also have a house, so come with me tomorrow to look for herbs and wild vegetables in this mountain forest, this is our source of livelihood." ”
Fan Lie washed himself in the river, he got dressed, walked through a bamboo forest, and then stood there looking at the fruits of his and his wife's labor in the past three days, with a smug expression on his face: Heh, who would have thought that I could build a house, although it is simple, this is built by myself.
The house is built, tomorrow let Begonia take herself and Xue'er on the mountain to recognize herbs, wild vegetables or something, since you can't leave here now, this is also the means of livelihood for our husband and wife.
In the evening, Begonia makes a pot of chowder from the marinated meat, which contains bamboo shoots, mushrooms, wild dried vegetables, etc. This made Feng'er extremely happy: this is a delicacy that can only be eaten during the Chinese New Year.
Haitang looked at Fan Lie and his wife and said, "The house is built, sister-in-law will cook some dishes for you to celebrate." Tomorrow, you will follow me and Feng'er up the mountain, you can rest assured, in this mountain, there are all kinds of good things, as long as you have the strength, you will not starve to death. ”
Fan Lie pulled Lin Yuxue to stand up, and the two of them gave Haitang a salute with respect. Fan Lie smiled and said, "Thanks to my sister-in-law for taking us in, otherwise, we don't know what would have happened." Sister-in-law's great kindness, Fan Lie and Xue'er will never forget, and in the future, there will be a time to repay. ”
"The two of you came here, it's also our fate, what do you say to repay or not, I don't think you are bad people, so I help you. We, ordinary people, are just trying to make a living, and it is supposed to help each other. ”
Everyone sat down, Feng'er looked at the food made by his mother in front of him, his saliva was about to flow out, he saw that his mother was just talking, he was anxious, and couldn't help shouting: "Uncle! Auntie! It's time to eat, it's not delicious if it's cold." ”
Hearing Feng'er's words, the three of them all laughed.
"Come, eat, this chowder is my sister-in-law's specialty, you eat more!"
