Early the next morning.

The woman found a carriage, which, unlike the usual ones, was completely open, with bales of hay that had not had time to be unloaded, and served as a natural mat.

Sitting on it, you can see the swaying blue sky and white sun when you look up.

First, I went to the families in the kraft book in the neighboring village and paid off all the money I borrowed.

On the bumpy carriage, Luo Chanyi watched Lu Jue cross out the last name, he breathed a sigh of relief and slowly closed the booklet.

She had the intention of teasing him, and stretched out her hand to ask him for a booklet.

Lu looked at her puzzled and handed over the booklet.

Luo Chanyi turned a new page and wrote a big name with charcoal: Luo Chanyi.

Lu Jue took it back, looked at the few big characters in front of him that were not very good-looking, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he raised his eyes to look at her: "It's not fully written, what about the address?" ”

Luo Chanyi's clear eyes turned slightly: "It's not fixed, it's with you anyway." ”

Lu Jue was silent for a moment, picked up a charcoal pen, and wrote at the address in the back.

Does he want to write about the indefinite residence?

Luo Chanyi looked over and saw two more words in the back: Lu Jue.

Name: Luo Chanyi.

Address: Lu Jue.

Looking at the two names side by side, she suddenly had a strange feeling, as if her heart had become a wooden fish, and someone took a small hammer and "knocked" it, shaking from the inside out.

"This, what is it, what is it?" Fat Ni squeezed over to him and asked, pointing to the booklet.

"Locke." He replied.

"Later, how do you read it later?"

Lu Jue glanced at Luo Chanyi, continued to look at the booklet, and slowly read word by word: "Luo Chanyi......"

Fat Ni snatched the booklet and used the meat. The intestine-like fingers pointed and read: "Luo Luo Luo Cicada clothes, there are still ......"

"Lu Jue."

When Fat Ni heard this, she suddenly became happy, and pointed to Lu Jue: "Yes, it's you!" Luo Luo cicada clothes, Lu Jue...... Luo Luo cicada clothes, Lu Lu Lu ......"

"Luo Luo cicada clothes, Lu Lu Lu is ......"

She was like reciting a nursery rhyme, shaking her little head while chanting endlessly.

Lu Jue sat at the head of the carriage, one hand on his curled knee, the colorful sunlight hitting his face, his eyes squinted slightly, and his eyelashes cast two rows of rich shadows on his face.

The expression on his face was not as cold as usual, and the corners of his mouth appeared in an arc that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, just listening to Fat Ni repeating it repeatedly, as if he couldn't get tired of listening to it.

"Fat Ni, you rest your mouth for a while, and then shout at you to throw it down!" The woman sleeping in the back of the car was disturbed by the noise, and raised her head to teach a lesson.

Fat Ni was trained so that she didn't dare to make any more noise, but she couldn't stay idle, just opened her mouth and didn't make a sound, and continued: "Luo Luo Cicada, Lu Lu is ......"

suddenly made Luo Chanyi laugh.

After laughing enough, she raised her eyes again, and saw Lu Jue looking at her, her eyes as if she was infected by the scorching sun, with a hazy warmth.

The maple forests on both sides are like fire, slowly moving in front of you.

The horses in the village are usually used to pull heavy loads, and they have not traveled long distances, and they have to rest after walking for a while, and it is not until late evening that they reach Shahu County.

There was a clear sense of dryness in the air, and they did not pass through the fields, but along the way, they could see locusts flying everywhere, and it seemed that they were indeed a plague.

Relying on the woman's guidance, the carriage finally stopped at the gate of a courtyard.

The woman couldn't wait to jump out of the car, turned around and picked up Fat Ni too, turned her head and shouted inside, "I'm back." ”

Soon, an old woman hurried out, bent a little, and holding a smoking burning stick in her hand: "Daman, you are back." ”

Seeing Lu Jue and them get out of the car again, the old woman's face was happy, and her loose skin wrinkled into a black bread: "Great, bring back a few people to help, quickly, all go into the house to rest." ”

The woman pulled Fat Ni over, lowered her body and kissed her little fat face hard: "Why don't you call Grandma?" ”

"Grandma, grandma!" Fat Ni wiped the stinky saliva off her face in disgust, turned to look for Lu Jue, hid behind his long legs and never showed her face again.

The woman carried the old lady into the courtyard, talking as she walked.

Luo Chanyi and they followed closely, only to see that the courtyard was very large, except for the two rooms in the main house, there was a side house in the east and west, and it seemed that it was also a prosperous family.

"They, they didn't work for us in the first place, I specially invited them to ask for rain." The woman explained in a whisper.

"Daoist?" When the old woman heard this, she couldn't help but turn her head to look at Lu Jue and them, and snorted from her nose: "It's better to catch two worms." ”

In the past, how many Taoist priests came to Shahu County, and they set up altars and practices, and in the end, they didn't run away with the big guy's money, and the rain didn't fall a drop.

These two young people, who say that they are sour scholars, are almost the same, they don't even wear a robe, and they don't hang their swords, so they are really fooled.

"No wonder the third child always calls you stupid." The old woman glared at the woman.

The woman was scolded inexplicably, and just wanted to explain, but she saw the old lady frowning at her and not letting her say more.

I walked into the house, and it was empty.

Daman turned around and asked, "What about my father and younger brothers?" ”

"They all set fires in the fields, and they have to burn locusts at night." The old woman used a burning stick to beat the wood under the stove.

"Burn locusts, locusts? Yes, can you burn more, I want to eat it too. Fat Ni's eyes lit up.

"Eat, eat, eat, you know to eat, you can't eat tonight." The woman smiled and glanced at Chubby.

She raised her eyes to look at Lu Jue and Luo Chanyi again, and said, "You guys also rest, wait until you have eaten and worked hard." ”

Luo Chanyi glanced at Lu Jue and replied: "It's getting dark, it's not bad to ask for rain, how about tomorrow?" ”

The old woman lowered her head and lit the fire, and only after a while did she say, "There is no need to ask for rain, for it is in vain to delay the effort, and the burning of locusts is too busy, and there is a shortage of manpower." ”

It turned out that they were used as free coolies.

After a hard day's journey, and in the face of such a natural attitude, Luo Chanyi was a little unhappy: "We are here to ask for rain, and burning locusts is another price!" ”

It stands to reason that there are difficulties at home, and it should be incumbent on them to catch up, but it is by no means natural.

The old woman was silent, but looked at the fire.

"Don't burn, don't burn!" Daman came to Luo Chanyi, with apologies on his face, and leaned close to her ear and said: "My mother is old, don't take it to heart, you must have never seen the burning locusts, you should go and see the excitement." ”

Although she didn't believe that Lu Jue could ask for any rain, the two of them did come here with good intentions, and it was more or less for her face.

"Get out and walk around." Lu Jue glanced at her and walked out of the door first.

Luo Chanyi followed him to the courtyard, where there was a huge begonia tree on the east side of the courtyard, which was full of red fruits.

When they came to the tree, Lu Jue picked one casually, rolled it around the cuff and handed it to her, looking at her face: "Angry?" ”

She looked at the begonia fruit in her hand, one side was already red and purple, printed with fine spots like the sun, and sighed silently: "You're not angry? ”

Lu Jue was silent for a moment: "If you see too much, you will get used to it." ”

She took a bite of the begonia fruit, only to feel that her mouth was full of juice, and there was a clear sour taste in the sweetness.

If she is allowed to swap with Lu Jue, experience everything he has experienced, and meet the people he meets, I am afraid she will not be able to remain as good as him.

It didn't take long for a group of people to come into the courtyard, talking nonsense, men and women, old and young.

They soon noticed the two of them under the begonia tree, and they stopped and looked over.

One of the young men, wearing a blue turban, was the first to ask, "Who are you?" ”

Luo Chanyi pinched half of the begonia fruit in his fingertips, took a step forward, and said bluntly: "Ask for rain." ”

"I'm begging for rain again." The young man snorted coldly and turned his head to look at his father behind him.

The old man took the burden off his shoulder, his tanned face sank, and he was about to say something.

Daman walked out at this time: "I invited the people, and the two of them came from Shijia Village with me, and they traveled for a day." ”

"I don't even know it's you, you stupid!" The blue-turbaned man mocked half-jokingly.

"I'm your eldest sister!" Da Man retorted.

The old man didn't say anything more, but stood under the eaves and beckoned the whole family to go to the well to wash their hands.

Dinner was eaten in the courtyard, a table was set up, and there were six people in a large family, plus Daman's mother and daughter, Lu Jue and Luo Chanyi, there were as many as ten people.

Luo Chanyi originally felt that she couldn't sit at a table, but later found out that the women were not at the table.

The old woman, with a daughter, two daughters-in-law, and even a little granddaughter, sat down on the steps under the eaves, each carrying a bowl.

They moved tables and chairs inside and out, served food, and were so busy that they couldn't even serve the dinner table.

On the entire dinner table, there was only one woman, Luo Chanyi.

But she didn't feel embarrassed, and the other men looked at her, and she stared back unkindly.

Who made the rule that women can't eat at the table?

"Fatty, sit on my lap." She looked at the small, round lump that sat on the steps.

As soon as Fat Ni heard the call, she glanced at the mother next to her, and ran towards Luo Chanyi with a bowl.

Luo Chanyi just wanted to hug her, but she turned her little butt and sat in Lu Jue's arms on the other side.

Lu Jue was stunned for a moment, and when he lowered his eyes, he just caught a glimpse of a few pitiful vegetable leaves in her bowl, so he simply adjusted his posture, let her sit, and reached out to put a piece of chicken in Fat Ni's bowl.

"Dasha, look at your girl, what are you talking like!" The blue bandana on the opposite side frowned.

Daman immediately put down the bowl and came over to call Fat Ni: "Fat Ni, don't make trouble, eat well." ”

Fat Ni was ripped off Lu Jue's leg by her mother, and her little mouth pouted sadly.

Luo Chanyi looked up at the blue turban: "What's wrong with her?" ”

He had long seen that Luo Chanyi and the men were eating at the same table unpleasantly, and at this time he said angrily: "What's the matter, the girl is too big, and she is still sitting on the lap of other men!" ”

Luo Chanyi snorted coldly: "You also know that it's another man, you are her uncle, I never thought about it, why doesn't the child sit on your lap?" ”

The blue turban was stunned by her, and she turned her head to the eaves and yelled: "Mother, look at the stupid guy who found the magic stick, and let people eat well." ”

When the old woman heard this, she shouted in a rough voice: "Daman! ”

Daman had just pulled her daughter back to sit down, and there was a new incident over there, and she only felt a headache.

Luo Chanyi put down the dishes and chopsticks, leaned back, and looked at the blue turban coldly: "Who is the god stick?" ”

The man's face was very stinky, and he stretched out his finger and pointed at Luo Chanyi and the others: "If you two weren't for the gods, I would have eaten all the locusts in the field." ”

"There is a god three feet above your head, you can't take back what you say." There was a cold smile on her lips.

"If you can't ask for rain," the man nodded his chin in the direction of the window: "Do you see that flat burden, I'll take you two all the way out of Shahu County." ”
