The door slammed shut, and the brothers stood at the bottom of the stairs, at a loss, not knowing what to do.

Xiao Budian walked to the side of the steps, sat on the steps, his elbows on his thighs, his hands on his chin, and he was stunned.

The elder brother stood at the foot of the steps, his shoulders moving and his hands scratching at his body. Seeing his brother's appearance, Xiao Liu Chang felt that his body was also very itchy, and he also moved his shoulders and hands together, for more than a month, especially in the past half a month, drilling grass and sleeping on the floor, none of them had taken a bath. The clothes have long been tattered, the shoes, I don't know when they are gone, and the brothers are standing barefoot on the loess.

Liu Chang jumped up, looked around, remembered where they were now, took his brother's hand, and walked down the street. His top priority now is not to eat, to wear, not to be barefoot, but to solve the problem of personal hygiene, and the itching all over his body is too uncomfortable.

The easiest way to solve personal hygiene problems is to find a place with water to bathe. Chang'an City has two moats, he knows, an outer city moat, an inner city moat, and the inner city moat is the palace moat. Now, the place where they are imprisoned is in the outer city, as long as you follow the streets, whether it is the outer moat or the inner moat, you will always encounter one.

The brothers walked along the street, and the more they walked, the more depressed they became, some of the houses were empty, some were dilapidated, and the residents on both sides of the street were almost closed. Except for the occasional soldier patrolling, there were no idlers on the streets.

More than 30 days have passed since the Wu Gu Incident, and the smoke of the war on the entire street does not seem to have passed, and now, the entire Chang'an City is still under military control.

The little brothers walked on the road, and from time to time they were reprimanded by the soldiers patrolling the streets, but they did not embarrass them. After the war, there are not a few wandering children on the streets, and they can often meet these soldiers, except for a few reprimands, there is no other way, after all, this is the capital, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, you can't kill them all in broad daylight.

In addition, they are not obliged to contain them, that is the duty of the Chang'an Order, and it is not under their control.

The two brothers walked staggeringly, looking left and right as they walked, as if their bodies were not so itchy. I saw that one of the doors of a shop was open, and the other was missing, and there was a black hole inside, as if there was no one.

Xiao Liu Chang pulled his brother into it in a flash. After entering, I found that the inside was more chaotic than the outside, and it was obviously robbed, the clay pots on the stove were broken, the clay pots filled with water were also broken, the inside and outside of the house and the yard, a mess, fortunately, I found two clogs, the size is different, they are bigger than my own feet, and I can change them for my brother, but I can also wear them. Room by room, room by room, room by room, it can be regarded as a brilliant result, the whole body is full of flowers, and the whole body of the brothers has been updated.

In the third child rushed into another house with great interest, this house was also unkempt, and the courtyard and the house were also dug up, but there were a lot of things on the couch or on the ground. The stuff wasn't too damaged. It seems that the house has just been raided, and it has not been looted yet.

There was a wooden barrel, run to the courtyard: there is a well! There are stacks of firewood!! In the back room, I found some corn in the earthen jar. Xiao San was so excited that even his little tongue was singing, great!! Hurriedly closed the door, but there was no damage to the door!! There was food, drink, and shelter, and although the bed was moved, it was not intact after all.

The junior jumped up and down and searched the carpet. Hahaha, it's paradise!! What's next, bathing? Dine? Go to bed? Yes, yes, eat first! The first step is to scoop the corn into a crockpot and add water, water, water... By the way, there is a well in the courtyard, go fetch water! When he came to the well, Xiao San was depressed, there were wheels on the well, buckets, and well ropes, but he couldn't hook the wheel's rocking handle!! Yes, brother, don't you have an older brother? He dragged his brother to the well, threw the bucket into the well, and then asked him to shake the wheel over and over again, but the brother just didn't understand, and was hit on the head by the wheel, so he never touched the wheel again.

Hey, what's going to happen? The water is right in front of you, how do you get it? Do you want to sit by the well and die of thirst? Starve? I'm really useless, I can't even use a wheel. What to do! Xiao San depressedly grabbed the well rope and shook it, but this shake gave him a big surprise: it doesn't seem to be heavy!! You can lift it with one hand! Is a bucket of water so light? Xiao San hurriedly stood by the well, and the two hands alternately lifted the bucket up, because the little three had short forearms, when lifting the bucket, the bucket spilled a lot on the wall of the well, but after lifting it, there was more than half a bucket of water.

Haha, it turns out that a bucket of water is not heavy. Xiao Budian immediately ran back to the house with half a bucket of water, and didn't care about his brother who was squatting in the corner and covering his head. There's water! A bowl of corn and three bowls of water, which Wang Dali taught when he was in the spring dove, put it on the stove, put firewood, firewood, yes, there is firewood in the courtyard, put the firewood under the crockpot, light the fire, light the fire, where is the fire? Yes, yes, yes, see that Wang vigorously made a fire and used Yang Sui!! Yang Sui Yang Sui Yang Sui, where is Yang Sui? Xiao San searched all over the house again, and finally found Yang Sui in a corner, the so-called Yang Sui, which is a concave mirror, made of copper! Then he crushed a handful of dried leaves, ran outside the house, lit the leaves with the sun, and waited until Xiao Budian lit the firewood under the kettle, it was almost an hour, and Xiao San's already dirty little face, except for his eyes, was all black! By the time the brothers ate the half-baked meal into their mouths, it was already another hour later, and the sun was already in the west.

What should I do after eating? Eat, bathe, sleep. Yes, it's time to shower! I have to bathe today, as if my body is starting to itch again! Xiao Liu Chang said just do it, dragging the barrel to the well, why is it dragging instead of holding or lifting, haha, because his arms are too short to hold. Half a bucket and half a bucket of water were brought up, poured in, and in a short time the barrel was half full, and without hesitation, he took himself off naked, found a stone to step on, and jumped into it with a poof. Although the well water is very cold, Xiao Budian is still very comfortable with his hands by the bucket and his whole body soaked in the water.

The effort of a meal, of course, is not a meal time for Xiao Bu to make, Xiao Liu Chang came out refreshed and put on his clothes. Then, in another hurry, he poured out the dirty water, refilled the well with clean water, and stuffed the elder brother into the bucket, and the elder brother, though now taller than the younger brother, was no match for the younger brother, and the younger brother stripped the elder brother naked in a few strokes, and even stuffed the elder brother into the bucket with only one hand. And helped my brother wash his hair and rub his back, and after a short time, my brother also looked new.

Well, there's only one thing left——— sleep! Finally back to the bed, finally no longer have to sleep on straw and slate. Xiao San is very excited, back pain for a few days, first put the bed straight, the ground was dug potholes, finally put the couch flat, the bamboo mat is placed, there are actually paved and covered, great! Taking advantage of the fact that the sun had not completely set and the house was still relatively bright, Xiao San searched inside and outside again, and found nothing new, just a few more adult clothes, money, I didn't see it, meat, I didn't see it, and I didn't know what this family was doing for a living, and I didn't see anything that could be bought and sold.

The next day, the two brothers woke up. Add some well water to the leftover rice from yesterday, and each of the brothers has a bowl, although they are not very full, they are not hungry.

There are a lot of things to do today, and the accommodation is a temporary solution, but the food and use must be prepared separately, obviously the remaining rice and grain of the family are not enough, and there must be some vegetables, preferably some meat, I haven't eaten meat for a long time, and I have forgotten what meat tastes like.

After repeatedly telling his brother not to go out, the junior closed the door and came to the street alone. Looking left and right, I don't know where to go, and finally I decide to let the sky decide, close my eyes, turn around in place a few times, and go wherever I want. Twice, Xiao San's face faced the door he had just closed: "The last time, if you don't let me go out, I'll tear this down!" When Liu Chang opened his eyes, what he saw was not his own door, but the opposite door!!

Syllable! Syllable! Syllable! Xiao San decided to follow the instructions and knocked on the door opposite, not to demolish the house opposite, but to pass through the opposite room, but to no movement? Knock again!

"Bang! Syllable! Syllable! Bang Bang! Bang Bang!! Bang bang bang ... Click! "The door opened, not from the people in the house, but with the little three knocking on the latch.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry" Xiao San hurriedly apologized, I didn't use my strength, this latch is too sturdy.

I'm sorry for a long time, and no one in the house responded, so Xiao Budian cautiously pushed open the door, put his head in, and asked cautiously: "Is there anyone?" ”

No response!

"Anyone?!!" The little dot raised the voice.

Still no response!!

"I just want to borrow a road, can I? If you don't speak, you agree, I'm in! Hearing no reply, Liu Chang gently pushed open the door and stepped in with one foot.

"I'm in~~~" Liu Chang put both feet into the quiet door, but there was still no movement.

Liu Chang turned around and closed the door, and it seemed that the latch had been broken into two sections at a glance: "I'm sorry for breaking your latch." ”

When he turned around again, he still didn't find any figure, the place where he stood should be the main hall, the door he came in was located on the left side of the main hall, on the right side, that is, there was a wide sitting in the middle of the main hall, there was a low table before the collapse, it should be the right position of the head of the house, there were two guest seats on the left and right, and there was also a low table in front of the guest seat, but it was smaller than the short side of the main seat, through the main hall, and came to a relatively spacious courtyard, the left side of the courtyard was a two-story pavilion, one was the room where the master lived and rested, and there was a pavilion on the right side. On the opposite side is a high courtyard wall, the courtyard gate is closed, and through the high wall, a tower can be seen. This is a two-entry residence, Liu Chang's current place should be the back house, when Liu Chang pushed open the courtyard door, what he saw was the scene of the front yard, the tower was on the right side of the front yard, there were four floors, it was the place where the grain was stacked and the sundries, the two rows on the left side, was the kitchen and the lower residence, and the front was the gatehouse, this was a family with a solid family, Liu Chang made a judgment at the first time, here or a businessman, or an official's house.

"Whose child are you? How did you get in here? Just when Xiao Budian was full of doubts, it was obvious that this place was not involved in the war, why was there no one, an obvious old voice came out of the kitchen on the left, and then a person came out, in his fifties, like a housekeeper or an accountkeeper.
