Chapter 197: Gossip

This year's spring came very early, and the calendar deduced that there was no spring at both ends. As soon as the New Year passes, the heavy snow not only indicates a good harvest year, but also covers up the cold of winter.

In a few days it will be February, and there will be a lot of heat in the middle of the day. Under the sun, Erni who led the charcoal fire and carried a small bucket into the door and the sisters who had seen beads of sweat on their foreheads and didn't know what to whisper, Erni's face was even more red.

Yeya, who had already rolled up her sleeves, was helped into the house by Erni and told her younger brother to collect some firewood.

didn't wait for the third watch of the night to get up, and the two dogs who couldn't stay idle had already jumped out,

"I'll go, I'll go." The old village owner watched Ergou go out, shook his head and sighed, and was helpless to this child, and said: "Third son, Ergou is a child, why are you coaxing?" "How can you not hear what the old village owner who has some calves guarding is thinking, after all, he also grew up day before him, not his own but more like his own child, to put it bluntly, he is still worried about the safety of the second dog, if the half-grown child is out of the house, who in the family does not care?

He was relieved at the moment: "You can put a hundred hearts, and when the time comes, I will take care of it, and I will never let anything happen to him." Is it possible not to let him go, he can listen? When the time comes, he sneaks out by himself, where are we going to find it? It's better to promise him, you have nothing to worry about if he follows me. The second dog ran back to the house with the firewood, threw down the firewood and ran out again.

"I'm going to kill chickens." Who's kid is not hospitable, busy inside and outside the house. At night, Erni helped to add firewood to boil water, and she was not familiar with it when she first arrived, her hands were tight, and many things had to be done by Erni.

It seemed that no one had any intention of speaking again, and for a while there was silence inside and outside the house. Someone boiled water, and the night was happy, holding a dead branch in his hand and shaking it gently.

On the side, Erni took a pu fan and fanned the wind gently, and even the old village owner who had always had nothing to say looked at the two girls by the fire, with a smile in his eyes.

There was no movement for a long time, and the night suddenly hummed the Qingle that only circulated in the inner courtyard of the palace, gentle and long, causing the fan in Erni's hand to stop.

The old village owner over there smiled gently, and his eyes moved from the side of the night to the two dogs in the courtyard, and the young man who wanted to go out was still helpless against the big rooster that was beaten to his death, and he was embarrassed whether to pluck the feathers or give another knife.

"Ergouzi has never seen his father and mother since he was a child, alas, a hard-working child, he really grew up eating hundreds of meals. It is the most eaten in my family, robbed with Erni, and fought with Erni for this home, that had to be ten years ago, because Erni robbed her of a piece of corn millet because Ergou took her away, saying that this is her home. Of course Ergou didn't want to, so he said it was his home. The wrinkled lines on the old villager's face seem to have bent a lot, and the smile is thick.

"In the past few years, I have only known that Erni has grown up, and she has grown so big in a blink of an eye." When people reach old age, it is easier to remember the past, and it is gratifying for their children and grandchildren to be on their knees.

"Do you still remember the third son, this kid pestered you a lot back then, asking you to take him out for a walk, and play with a knife and sword with a branch every day." The old villager's smile was even more refreshing, thinking of the half-grown child who was only more than ten years old five or six years ago, going to the house to open the tile and go down to the river to fish, and there were a lot of annoying things to do.

"It's really big now, I'm a lot obedient, I'm angry, I'm more sensible than I was then." I don't know what the old village owner meant, and the third night watch didn't say anything, thinking about whether he just said that he would take the second dog out to see the world in the future, and the old village owner who thought a lot when he was old had some things on his mind.

It's just that the smile on the face of the old village owner gradually converged and became positive, and there was more solemnity in his tone that had not been seen since they met, and he suddenly asked: "At my age, it's not too much to let you call your two grandpa, right?" Obviously, I didn't understand that this old man who was always smiling would suddenly ask such a question, and the sister and brother were obviously a little surprised.

Ye San sat up straight and listened attentively. No matter how you say it, you usually feel free to do it, but since the elders attach so much importance to it, you still have to have this bit of etiquette for the younger generations.

Ye Yao, who had been paying attention to the stove over there, turned sideways without a trace, and his ears were obviously biased towards his younger brother's side, obviously curious about what the old village owner who had made people close to him since they met was what it was, and even his tone changed a little.

The elders are like this, and the juniors should be more careful out of politeness. Ye Ya Yi smiled and said: "You said this outside the world, follow Erni to call you grandpa, I am afraid that you will not agree." Holding on to the branch of the tree called a crutch, the wrinkles of the old village owner gradually stretched, and he did not respond to Ye Yao's polite words, but said slowly: "You are all children from rich and noble families, and you can still deal with our gang of people without dislike, I shouldn't have asked more." Raising his hand to stop the three watches of the night from talking, the old village owner continued: "When I was young, I also wanted to go out and break in, see the flower world outside, and toss around in several states near here. didn't make a name for himself, but he also heard a lot of powerful people and things. Thirty or forty years ago, I heard of a powerful character, and we don't know if he was boasting, saying that he was invincible all over the world, and it was the rivers and lakes in your mouth that turned the world upside down. At that time, I also had a lot of strength, so I didn't know how thick I wanted to meet people for a while, but I really laughed off my big teeth. "It's really like gossip, what the old village owner says is incoherent and has no beginning or end, and he will say whatever he thinks.

He still talks about what he saw and heard when he was young, just like listening to his children and grandchildren tell stories that belong to their era when they were on their knees.

"Later, I worked as a boatman in Fenglingdu for a while, and I heard that that powerful person turned the tide when Beiyizi invaded our capital, which is really remarkable. In those years, there were a number of storytellers and singers who opened the stalls every day to say these things, and the ears could afford to hear the cocoons, and I still remember what I said, turning the tide in the fall, helping the building to fall, we are not the kind of learned, I think this is a compliment, it has to be a great thing to stand up to the sky. Right, right? "Naturally, I know who the person in the mouth of the old village owner is, and I don't know whether to answer at this time.

The old man didn't expect to get an answer, he looked at the sisters and brothers and said with a smile: "If the lord sent by the city lord last night didn't say it, I would never believe that you are the grandson of the Night King." After a slight pause, the old man continued: "If I am not mistaken, it should be more than three years ago, or the big cow's house in the west of the village went to the city lord Zhuangzi to deliver the goods and came back to say, saying that a man and a woman came to the capital to find the city lord to find someone, that is, a very strong man and a very small woman, without saying the name or the reason, it was all over the city to inquire, what kind of girl with a knife on his back, and a wounded young man. At this point, the old villager's eyes turned to the coarse cloth-wrapped object at the door.

"That guy Da Niu, who gave birth to a man's body and grew a girl's mouth, is good all day long, and has a good chat with the people of the city lord's family, saying that it is a man called Lord Niu, and a person called Lord Luo, looking for the grandson and granddaughter of the Night King's family, it is said that he killed people in the capital, and the saints are about to go crazy today." just smiled again, and wondered: "But there's one thing I just can't figure out, what did you two do, even the night prince can't protect you with such a big ability, and everyone has found here?" "There are too many hidden secrets in it, naturally it is inconvenient to say, Ye San peeked at his sister, Ye Yao was very well-behaved, holding his chin on his knees, thoughtful.

Ye San said even more vaguely: "The two of us had a few words with the family, and ran away from home in anger, and then caused some trouble in Beijing that was not easy to solve. "It's also an old man who has lived for so long and seen so much of the world, and the night three said a few more ambiguous words, but it is equivalent to not saying it, the old village owner has a mirror-like door in his heart, and he knows that they are unwilling to explain, so he doesn't ask, and says: "As soon as the people sent by the city lord left last night, I began to ponder, and I thought about it, and I figured out one thing." You said that you killed people in the capital, under the nose of the emperor Lao'er, he just let people run away, so many powerful characters haven't even caught an injured person, it's not very believable to say this. What does this mean? It's just that I didn't even think about arresting people. Do you two say that I am talking about it? In fact, as the old man said, from the beginning of chatting about Ergou, and then praising the king of the dynasty with a different surname, to finally asking about what happened to the sister and brother back then, and then to the current question, Ye San almost guessed his general thoughts.

Ye Sanchang looked at his sister again, she usually talks a lot, but at this time it is so quiet, Ye Sanchang replied

"In reason".

"At our age, it's just a picture...", finally returned to the topic, stroking the gray beard with one hand, the old village owner sighed,

"Cheng Huan's knees."

"The water is boiling." The old village owner said immediately after the preface. The kettle on the stove was bubbling hot, Mo said that Ye Sangen and Ye Yaoer didn't pay attention, Erni was also distracted to the point of being in a daze, not knowing what to think, and now she hurriedly moved the kettle to the side, and the hot air smoked her hands, and quickly pinched her earlobes left and right.

"The water has passed." Yeya, who had never spoken, finally spoke.

"Nope." The old village owner took this sentence,

"How many of your rich and noble families can drink the doorways?"

"The water that makes tea is like doing things." Looking at the night beside the stove that was about to speak, the old village owner had already said again,

"It's been burned, you can still drink it when you dry it, there are only a few people who really know how to do it, who compares it every day? To put it bluntly, it's just a bowl of water, as long as it can quench your thirst, just have a little taste, so many rules and regulations, aren't all people having the final say? It's the same way to do things, although it's too late, but it's always the right way to get lost. After that, just stay for a while, everything will pass, can you still splash it? People, even if you make a big mistake, as long as you are willing to repent, it is not a mistake. At this time, the old man was smiling again, and his tone was as intimate as at the beginning, wrinkled and crooked, and looked at the night that was out of his mind, and just took a few deep breaths, and then continued,

"Girl, did you say?" Ye Yaoer pursed his lips and smiled, nodded and said, "Yes." The old village owner smiled and said: "People live in this generation, and their children and grandchildren are full of joy and joy, so that they can live up to this incense." Compare your heart to your heart, you children, you have been gone for several years, and you don't pay attention to things. "There was silence in the room, and the kettle on the stove was still bubbling and splashing on the edge of the stove, and it didn't stop.

Although the old village owner who doesn't understand the hidden meaning of this matter is just a matter of thinking about the smallest things, he has to say that these words are reasonable by mistake.

As a descendant, I didn't carry what I should have carried, and I was still blindly evading, and I still put the huge burden on the shoulders of the older generation, which is really not very particular.

Ye Yao smiled and said, "I know, I will never do it again in the future." "It's like a promise after making a mistake when I was a child, and it's very playful.

The crooked beating actually said that it was in the hearts of the people, and the old village owner who didn't know what was going on stroking his beard chuckled. Erni looked left and right, looked at the grandfather who was still talking to people with kind eyebrows and eyes as usual, and looked at the third brother who didn't know how powerful her true identity was, and the second lady who had to recognize herself as her sister, in the end, she still didn't understand what her grandfather meant by what she said to them, but she was very embarrassed, so she felt that she should not speak at this time, but after hesitating for a moment, this little girl who was about to talk about marriage at the age of seventeen finally said timidly: "What is this pot of water going to do?" The old village owner had a bunch of kind smiles on his face, and he didn't speak; Ye San thought more about other thoughts, and didn't speak.

The branch that Ye Yaoer was holding in his hand turned left and right, and said angrily: "Give your third brother a drink." As a granddaughter, I can't use my temperament again, I have to compare and burn. Ye San's face was even more bitter, and the old man with the gray beard laughed heartily.

At this time, the villagers took the pots and carried the pots from the east, west, north and south to discuss the general one after another, there was a family that only contained fruit wine, there was a family that brought mountain dates, that family said that the mother-in-law stewed fish at home, this family shouted what the stove simmered soup at home, laughing and shouting, from far and near, it was not lively for a while.

Ye Sangen got up and quipped: "Then you can burn it well, and I will go with the old village owner to greet the guests." As he walked, there was some helplessness in his tone,

"In the end, the daughter who is going to marry is not stayed, the son-in-law is not at home, and someone at home has to be a brother." The branches that were thrown away, accompanied by the laughter and scolding of the night, and Erni's cheeks covered with two red glows also opened, just like in early spring, there are flowers with buds waiting to be released, just waiting for a moment to compete for beauty.
