Passing through a bamboo forest, I happened to see a small village surrounded by a simple bamboo fence, with a total of about a dozen families.

Before Qin Younian and the two of them rode into the village, they saw smoke curling from every house, and the air was filled with a refreshing aroma of rice, which was a great temptation for the two who had not eaten a hot meal for a while.

Qin Younian, the old man slowed down and rode into the village, the villagers thought that the bandits were coming again, and the adults ran into the house with their children in a panic, locked the doors and closed the windows, and did it in one go.

The old man, who just wanted to tease the child, smiled and froze on his face.

An elderly woman couldn't walk fast because of the inconvenience of her legs and feet, so she slowly knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing, muttering: "Okay, two grandfathers, we were just robbed two days ago, and our village remembers that people have no rice to cook." ”

"Old woman, this can't be helped, we are not bandits."

Qin Younian hurriedly turned over and dismounted, picked up the old woman, bent down and explained with a pleasant face, before helping the half-believing old woman into her house.

The patriarch bolted his horse and looked at the dilapidated village and recalled the few bandits who had let go, "I knew this earlier, and I killed them a hundred." ”

The patriarch has been abducted and deceived for decades, and it is the officials who cheat and the rich who deceive, and he cannot do such a deed that hurts nature and reason without conscience.

The old man sorted out the extra clothes, asked Qin Younian to take ten taels of silver, put one or two folded clothes at the door of each house, one or two pieces of silver, and then knocked on the door three times, and left without saying a word, but it was better than a thousand words of explanation.

After a while, the door opened, and the villagers looked at the clothes and silver at the door, and then at the old man, who was walking very slowly, and picked up the clothes and silver, and did not close the door again.

There was a bold young man, who approached cautiously, gave the little clay figurine in his hand to the old man, and then turned around and ran back to the house.

The old man smiled and put away the clay figurine, this is a child's childhood.

The old woman is lonely, her husband is sick and dead, her son leaves his hometown to find a livelihood outside, and only comes back for a few days during the Spring Festival throughout the year.

The old woman's surname is Li, and her husband's surname is Wang, so Wang Li's family.

When the old man returned to Granny Li's house, he went into the kitchen to light the stove.

Qin Younian looked at the simple house without any decent furniture, the only vase was still broken, took out the silver, kept five taels for himself, and put the rest of the silver in Granny Li's hands but was rejected several times. Qin Younian had no choice but to go to the thatched house under the excuse and wrap the silver and bury it under the dried vegetables.

The silver was snatched from the thieves, the thieves robbed it from the people, and Qin Younian returned it to the people.

When he turned around, a small seven-colored flower was in full bloom next to the jar of pickles, and the stem was three-leafed. Qin Younian froze for a moment, his pupils shrank sharply, his heart beat wildly, that three-leaf seven-colored flower was a grafted mutated flower seed, looking at the world, except for Qin Younian, there was only one person with a flower seed.

Qin Younian looked excited and returned to the house, and after taking a few sips of tea to calm down, he asked, "Granny Li, where did that little seven-colored flower outside your house come from?" ”

Granny Li's hand shook and asked, "Can the son's surname be Qin?" ”

Qin Younian's expression became more and more excited, and he nodded.

Granny Li got up, walked into the back room tremblingly, took out a letter and a grasshopper woven from grass and put them on the table, Qin Younian helped Granny Li sit down, and only then did she tell her:

"A year ago, a girl and her three sons passed by to ask for directions, and the girl was kind-hearted, and when she saw that our village had a hard life and had been persecuted by bandits for many years, she went from house to house and gave some silver taels. Then ask the old woman to plant the seven-colored flower, and if a son surnamed Qin sees the seven-colored flower and asks about it, let me write to him. ”

Qin Younian took a deep breath, the grasshopper had turned yellow, if it weren't for Granny Li's careful preservation, I was afraid that it would have been rotten, so she carefully put the grasshopper into the baggage, opened the letter, two pages, and the handwriting on the paper made Mr. Private School can't help but praise it.

Qin Younian looked at the content on the paper and smiled very happily, I haven't seen her like that for many years, she has a quiet personality and doesn't like to talk, she loves to leave notes when she goes to private school, usually the two of them will blush and lower their heads when they say a few words alone, and race past the red sunset on the horizon.

Before leaving, two families were only about 20 steps apart, but she didn't dare to take ten steps, but she held the lamp and wept, and looked out the window to write a letter.

It was dawn, and the people outside the window were still there.

At noon, the people outside the window were still there.

In the evening, the people outside the window were still there.

It was dark, and the people outside the window were gone.

She laughed and laughed and cried.

Qin Younian knew her mind, there were many people in the village during the day, and this girl was thin-skinned, so she was afraid that she would be laughed at by the elders in the village when she couldn't help crying, and she would blush when she left.

In the end, she left, Qin Younian hid in the tree, not daring to catch up and say a parting word, for fear that she would not be able to hold back her tears, this girl crying is really distressing.

"Nine times out of ten, life is unsatisfactory, and there are no two or three people who can talk about it, and the most painful thing is the parting of the cramps and souls!"

The old man came with a small bench, sat under the tree, shook a fan, and said, "A man likes a woman, but it has nothing to do with her appearance, he likes her strength!" If you don't have that energy, even if you are as beautiful as a flower, you don't love it, you don't love it! ”

Qin Younian kept looking in the direction she left and asked, "Old man, where is my mother?" I miss my mother. ”

"When your mother gave birth to you, she died."

The old man's eyes dodged, picked up the small bench, patted Qin Younian with a pu fan, the two fathers and sons walked home slowly, it was almost the Mid-Autumn Festival, the moon in the sky was very beautiful, and the person who walked was the best in his heart.

Qin Younian put away the letter, got up and bent over, and said sincerely: "Granny Li, thank you very much." ”

Granny Li was flattered, and hurriedly pulled Qin Younian back to sit on the stool, held his hand, and said: "Young Master Qin, my wife and I don't know a single word in the mountains and wilderness, but we know a truth, marry rarely, marry with you!" The girl laughed and laughed when she knitted the grasshopper and cried, and when the grasshopper was finished, she said, "It's not as good as you weave", and threw the grasshopper away in anger, and then picked it up and wiped it carefully with her sleeve. ”

Granny Li told again, "That girl is a person with a heart and a heart, and I have half cut the old woman into the ground, I can see it, I can see it." ”

Granny Li got up with a smile and walked to the kitchen to help the old man add firewood to cook.

The old man is a human spirit, and his son knows what shit he pulls as soon as he pouts his buttocks, so after saying goodbye to the mountain sword tomb, he repeatedly told Qin Younian not to practice the three-legged cat kung fu and said in vain that he went to find the girl, the people there are good at danqing, wielding pen and ink with swords, more insidious and cunning than the eunuchs and ministers in the court, breaking wrists, no! In terms of scheming, even worse! If Qin Younian goes, one person can drown him with a mouthful of saliva, so why do you need to use a sword or a sword!

Qin Younian pulled his crotch face, and when he saw the old man shaking his head when he saw the stir-fried vegetables, he suddenly had a plan, he had a chance to go up, and he had to go if he didn't have a chance to create an opportunity.

Qin Younian swept away the gloom on his face, and his intelligence naturally followed the old man, after all, dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and sons born of mice are born to make holes.

After eating, Granny Li went out and pointed in a direction, and she would arrive at Xiayangguan in one day.

Qin Younian said goodbye to Granny Li, and the old man turned over and left here, and the seven-colored little flower was left to Granny Li to think about, in addition to the closest relatives around him, at least one person in the distance would occasionally think of them.

Rushing against the night, Qin Younian discussed with the old man and reached an agreement, he would not rest at night, even if he was sleepy, he would have someone to guard the horse, and the hardships he endured during this time were still fresh in their memory. And the old man is an unreliable master, he looks like he has a bamboo in his chest, and there will be a lot of excuses when he makes a mistake, and he finally shirks the responsibility to Qin Younian, saying that he didn't stop him at first, and the old man who took off his pants and farted - don't be cheeky, but you can't make Qin Younian angry.

At noon the next day,

The two of them came to Xiayang Pass, entered the city, found a stable to put the horses, and instructed the horse keeper to feed the horses, after all, the horses can't go hungry after a long journey.

Qin Younian walked a few steps, looked back and saw the old man stopping, touching his chin without touching his beard, looking at the tavern in front of him and smiling.

"Old man, do you want to go to the tavern to tell a story and earn dozens of dollars? We've been delayed for a lot of time, don't bother, there's a pawnshop in front, you exchange your private jade pendant for some silver, if you don't give up, redeem it the next day. ”

The silver on Qin Younian's body can be said to have been lost, leaving only the medicine that Gao Chief secretly gave, the medicine that Xiao Qingyi sent in the way, and there is also a book of Dong Xuanzi Thirty-six Loose Hands, but at that time, he had a stomach upset and tore off half of it to wipe his buttocks.

When the old man hid the jade pendant, he thought that it was seamless and no one knew, but Qin Younian could see it really, but he didn't break it at that time.

The old man's eyes were erratic, he looked up at the sky, and pretended to be stupid and said, "Qin boy, don't talk nonsense, I have lost all the silver on my body, how can I have any jade pendants." ”

Qin Younian waved his hand, took a few steps back and sat directly under the tree next to the stable, and said, "If it's not right, it's not appropriate, anyway, if you don't have the money to go to the inn to eat and drink, then rest here for two hours." ”

This is exactly the corner of the three-way intersection, although there are not many pedestrians on the street in Xiayangguan, people who come and go will always look at each other, the old man can't afford to lose that person, so he hurriedly walked over and asked: "Qin boy, where are you still more than 20 taels of silver?" ”

Qin Younian shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's all for Granny Li." ”

The old man jumped three feet high, his angry old face was flushed, he pointed at Qin Younian and scolded, "You loser", hesitated on the spot, then gritted his teeth, backhanded, put his hand into his pants and took out a white jade pendant, threw it to Qin Younian, and said solemnly: "It's just that the rivers and lakes are in emergency, you have to redeem me, otherwise I won't be finished with you." ”

After speaking, the patriarch clasped his hands across his chest, squatted down with his back to Qin Younian, and then took two steps forward to stay away from him.

"Old man, no matter how far this jade pendant is, I will redeem it for you." Qin Younian got up and walked into the pawnshop with the jade pendant, took it as silver, and collected the pawn ticket so that he could redeem the jade pendant later.

The old man picked up a small stone and drew circles on the ground, muttering, "This is the only thought left to me by my unfilial son." ”

Hearing Qin Younian's greeting, the old man reluctantly walked into the inn and sat down, his face full of unhappiness.

Called the shopkeeper, Qin Younian just ordered a few dishes when the old man waved his hand to stop, pouted and said, "Qin boy, will you order?" Meat is not vegetarian, and when the horse was stolen, a bird faded out of my mouth, and you haven't eaten enough. ”

The old man waved his hand arrogantly, and ordered the shopkeeper to bring all the chickens, ducks, and fish to the shopkeeper, and if he saw a vegetarian dish, he would be anxious with him, especially the white radish, and finally ordered a pot of wine and a jar of wine.

The food was not served, the wine arrived first, and you could drink half a jar of peanuts.

There were not many people in the inn, and they sat around three or four tables, all of whom were attracted by the heroic scene of the old man holding the jar and drinking, and they were amazed.

Qin Younian pointed to the wine glass next to him and said, "Old man, no one is stealing wine from you, why don't you use the cup?" There are bowls on the small table of cups. ”

The old man showed a big white eye, and said angrily: "What do you know about a green hook doll, those literati and ink writers who hold pens drink and cover their faces with their sleeves, I don't feel good when I look at it, and the crepe is not together." I am a reckless person, holding the jar and drinking wine will be hearty, there is a poem how to say, the lamb slaughters the cow ........."

Qin Younian said with a smile: "Lambs slaughtering cattle for pleasure will have to drink three hundred cups. ”

"Yes, yes, yes."

The old man put down the wine jar, got up and stepped on the long wooden bench with one foot, and said proudly: "The lamb slaughters the ox for pleasure, and it will have to drink three hundred cups." I only hold the jar to drink, so I have to drink 300 jars at a meeting. ”

Official complaint: (The girl of the village chief's family, how long do you plan to arrange it?) ）
