The moonlit night of summer illuminated the entire road like day, and Lian Yuncheng helped Xue Qing to walk down the mountain step by step, calculating that he had walked for half an hour, and he couldn't see a single person. Xue Qing was a little tired, and even Yun Cheng was not in a good condition at this time, he had just aggravated his internal injuries when he was fighting with the Guardian Divine Envoy. Xue Qing proposed to find someone to rest at home, and Lian Yuncheng was worried about it while walking, but he never saw anyone, and he was very anxious. Seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, the mountain wind was protruding, and the two of them were wet, if they didn't change their clothes, Xue Qing would have to get sick.

The two continued to walk, and Lian Yuncheng inadvertently saw a few houses not far away, and he was secretly happy in his heart, and immediately helped Xue Qing over. I walked up to him and knocked on the door, but there was no sound but a dog barking, thinking that there was someone. He continued to knock on the door, and after a while, he heard a voice from inside asking, "Who is it in the middle of the night?" ”

Lian Yuncheng hurriedly shouted: "Passerby, open the door." ”

After Lian Yuncheng finished speaking, there was no sound inside, and the dog barked non-stop at this time. When Lian Yuncheng was disappointed, suddenly the lights came on in the house, and then a voice came from inside: "Don't worry, this is coming." ”

As soon as these words landed, he heard the sound of the door opening inside, and then after a while, a thin old man opened the corner of the door and looked at the sloppy Lian Yuncheng and asked, "Why did you come here at this time, it won't be a refuge." ”

Lian Yuncheng hurriedly said: "Uncle, the two of us are going back to our parents' house, and we are young and greedy for some roads and miss the accommodation. Just now, I accidentally fell into the river again, and my wife is sick, so I came to disturb you. ”

After Lian Yuncheng finished speaking, Xue Qing twisted him, but his heart was warm. The old man opened the door wide and saw Xue Qing, and he was a little sure in his heart, so he said, "Come in, it's cold outside." ”

The two of them followed the old man into the courtyard, and an old woman's voice came out from inside, asking, "Old man, who is it in the middle of the night!" ”

"Ah, it's a little couple passing by, missing the accommodation."

"Oh, let them in," said the old woman, and Lian Yuncheng and Xue Qing had already arrived in the house. Seeing the old woman lying on the bed, as if she couldn't move, Xue Qing walked over to greet the old woman. The old woman easily leaned on the wall beside her and talked to Xue Qing. After a while, the old man brought a basin of hot water from outside and asked the two of them to wash it quickly. Pick out a few more clothes from the cabinet and ask the two of them to change out of the wet clothes.

The old woman waited for Xue Qing to change into dry clothes, looked at her and said, "Girl, you are so handsome, you are a blessed man." She smiled and looked at Lian Yuncheng, who was scruffy next to her, Lian Yuncheng blushed and didn't dare to look at Xue Qing. Xue Qing was shy and speechless, just blindly lowered her head.

"You two haven't eaten yet, I'm afraid you're not hungry." The old woman asked kindly. Xue Qing nodded, and the old woman asked the old man to hurry up and cook, and her words were full of love and happiness.

The old woman took Xue Qing's hand and said, "I also have a daughter, but she never came back after she got married, so I guess she forgot about me." Alas, the girl who got married, the water that was spilled, I don't know how she is doing now.

She was only fifteen years when she got married, and she blamed the old man for being ruthless and marrying so far away. She can't come back if she wants to, it's better for you, remember to go back to her parents' house to see, your man is also with you, it's not bad. “

The more the old woman spoke, the more emotional she became, and she unconsciously wiped away her tears, looking at Xue Qing's face full of love. Xue Qing was shy, and she couldn't speak for a while, just nodded blindly, revealing that well-behaved.

Lian Yuncheng was not in the house at this time, he had already gone out to help the old man cook. The old man didn't let him, saying that how embarrassing it was for a man to enter the kitchen. However, he himself cooks in the kitchen every day, Lian Yuncheng chatted with the old man, knowing that the old woman was paralyzed when she was forty years old, and since then, the old man has taken care of her alone.

Now that thirty years have passed, the two of them are talking and laughing, and they are very satisfied. Lian Yuncheng looked at the old man, his heart was full of gratitude, they were so good-hearted. Thinking of the old woman, I was a little sad, such a good-hearted person, but God let her be paralyzed in bed early, which is really unfair.

After a while, the meal was ready, and Lian Yuncheng and the old man moved the meal to the hall and hurriedly asked Xue Qing to eat. At this time, the old man took out a pot of wine, handed Lian Yuncheng a wine glass, and said, "Young man, taste the wine I brewed myself to relieve my fatigue." ”

Lian Yuncheng opened the wine jug and smelled a burst of aroma, the taste was so beautiful, and he didn't let the old man take a sip immediately. "Sweet and moist, full of aroma, what a good wine!"

"Drink more good wine, I still have it." The old man said.

"Then I might as well obey my fate with respect, and I don't need a cup, pick up the jug and drink it, and after a while, I will drink the jug cleanly."

"Haha, more?" The old man looked at Lian Yuncheng's unfinished appearance and asked with a smile.

"And? Bring them all! As soon as Lian Yuncheng finished speaking, Xue Qing couldn't watch it next to him and stepped on him quietly. Lian Yuncheng looked at Xue Qing with a puzzled expression and asked, "What's wrong." ”

"What's the matter, you wine vat, you have to finish the old man's wine!" Xue Qing said with a disgusted face.

"Ah, that." Lian Yuncheng seemed to say two words, but the words had not yet landed. I saw that the old man brought another jar of wine from outside, and said with a smile: "Drink, drink it all, I can brew it again after drinking." ”

Lian Yuncheng took it embarrassedly, looked at Xue Qing with a red face, and then drank a big bowl, and said unconsciously: "Good wine, good enjoyment!" ”

Xue Qing looked at him with disgust, didn't speak, but sneeze out, and then sneezed again, and couldn't eat, as if she was very tired and wanted to sleep.

Lian Yuncheng hurriedly put down the wine jar to help her, and immediately felt that her body was very hot, as if she was sick. The old woman asked Lian Yuncheng to help Xue Qing to her, she touched it and said, "Don't worry, it's a cold, old man, you go and cook a bowl of ginger soup, let her drink it and sweat, and it will be fine tomorrow." ”

When the old man heard this, he hurriedly went to cook ginger soup, and then the old woman instructed Lian Yuncheng to help Xue Qing to the room of his former daughter, and told him to cover it there and let him cover Xue Qing. Lian Yuncheng quickly did everything and helped Xue Qing cover it. After a while, the old man brought the ginger soup over and asked Xue Qing to drink it, and Xue Qing almost spit it out after drinking the first sip. But he was still forced to drink the ginger soup in one go, and then lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

At this time, it was already very late, and the old couple was ready to go to bed, but Lian Yuncheng had a hard time. He didn't know where he was sleeping, so he stood alone in the hall and hesitated.

The old woman saw him standing there and asked, "Young man, why don't you go to sleep, you are stripped naked and sleep with your daughter-in-law, just use your temperature to help your daughter-in-law sweat, remember to hold her, so that the sweat will flow quickly." After saying that, the old man and the old woman were about to turn off the lights.
