Chapter 81: People's Sentiments
Seeing the tragic situation of being crossed the border and looting the village, everyone was very heavy and gloomy. Zhang Yuqing didn't sleep well for two days in a row, and was awakened by a nightmare, either dreaming of the man's face as numb as a walking corpse, or dreaming that on the day the Hu people entered the capital thirteen years ago, blood flowed and there were bloody corpses everywhere.
Fortunately, it is getting closer and closer to the town, and there are more people.
At noon that day, they went to a Zhuangzi, borrowed a villager's stove, and cooked a large pot of steaming hot noodle soup.
Lu Wei took a bowl of soup, went out to the courtyard, and handed it to Zhang Yuqing.
Zhang Yuqing has not eaten and slept well in the car these days, her face is pale, and her forehead hair is wet and sticking to her head, how embarrassed she is.
Lu Wei saw it in his eyes, and he was very reluctant in his heart, and always felt that Zhang Yuqing suffered this crime because of him, so he handed the bowl to Zhang Yuqing, "Eat some." ”
Zhang Yuqing looked at the hot air coming out of the bowl, and somehow, he thought of the residual smoke he saw on the Zhuangzi that day that day, covered his mouth and almost spit it out, and waved his hand to ask Lu Wei to hold the bowl farther away.
The old woman of the peasant house next to her, with a cloth wrapped around her head, looked at the two of them, grinned, missing two front teeth, "Madame, this is a bad joy, right?" ”
Zhang Yuqing and Lu Wei were shocked at the same time.
"I didn't, I wasn't!" Zhang Yuqing immediately denied it.
Even if Lu Wei marries her reluctantly, it doesn't mean that Lu Wei is willing to be a green hat!
Tsk, my wife who hasn't slept is pregnant...... The picture was so beautiful that Zhang Yuqing didn't dare to think about it.
"It's hot, I don't want to eat!" Zhang Yuqing hurriedly said.
The old woman was very understanding, and said, "When I was pregnant with my children, I didn't want to eat!" Girl, you wait! ”
Zhang Yuqing looked at the back of the old woman who turned to leave, Er Kang stretched out his hand in the air, and said in despair: "I don't have a baby, I really don't!" ”
Lu Wei lowered his head and couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips.
After a while, the old woman came with a bowl of raw white things, and poured a layer of fragrant tahini and garlic paste on top.
"There are people in the village who sell mung bean flour with a burden, and people with bodies love to eat this in summer!" The old woman stuffed the bowl and chopsticks to Zhang Yuqing.
Zhang Yuqing wanted to say that she didn't have a body, but the cold powder in the bowl was white and tender, cold and silky, and it looked delicious at first glance, so she succumbed to her desire in her heart and picked up chopsticks to eat.
Lu Wei saw that she had an appetite, and stood next to her and drank the bowl of hot noodle soup.
When Lu Wei sent the bowl to the stove room, he came back and saw Zhang Yuqing squatting in the courtyard, surrounded by several people, young and old, eager to say something to her.
Zhang Yuqing held a branch in his hand, wrote on the ground, and said in his mouth: "Chunmei." ”
The woman next to her looked at the words and smiled shyly at her companion, "So my name looks like this!" ”
"What about mine? My name is Ernier! Another woman shouted.
Zhang Yuqing wrote the word Erni on the ground, pointing to the two words and reading them word by word: "Two, Ni." ”
"I'm a simple one!" The woman laughed.
A child wearing open crotch pants saw that Zhang Yuqing was kind and angry, ran to Zhang Yuqing and squatted down, and asked curiously: "Sister, are you from the capital?" ”
Zhang Yuqing nodded and pinched his cheeks like red apples, "Sort of!" ”
She only stayed in the capital for two months, and I don't know if she is a person from the capital.
"What is the capital like?" Everyone looked up at Zhang Yuqing with their faces up.
Zhang Yuqing had an easy-going attitude and a soft voice, telling everyone how lively the night market in the capital can last until the second half of the night, and also talked about how bright the lantern festival is as bright as day and how beautiful the lights of various colors are.
A little girl held her face and sighed enviously, "The capital is so good!" ”
Zhang Yuqing's expression suddenly became solemn, and said, "We will become as good here as the capital!" ”
"How could it be that we're here? Aren't you from Beijing? You're not going to go? Chunmei asked.
Zhang Yuqing smiled slightly, "If you don't leave, I'll stay here!" ”
Lu Wei looked at Zhang Yuqing, who was smiling and smiling with that group of ordinary people, patient and gentle, and his heart was suddenly very moved. Zhang Yuqing really wants to make this place better, and he really wants to take root here with him.
After eating, the children enthusiastically pulled Zhang Yuqing, laughing and making a fuss about taking her to see them catch gold beetles.
Zhang Yuqing was surrounded by a group of children, pulled her hands and skirt and walked out helplessly, and Lu Wei immediately got up and followed.
In the grove at the entrance of the village, the children scattered and went to catch insects.
Zhang Yuqing leaned against a tree and fanned the wind with a fan.
Lu Wei walked up to her and said, "You said that reality can be changed that day, do you have any ideas?" ”
"Did I say I had an idea?" Zhang Yuqing had eaten a full meal, and her spirit returned, looking at the children in the distance and asking rhetorically.
Lu Wei also looked at the laughing child and said, "I think you must have a way." ”
Zhang Yuqing shook her fan and rolled her eyes.
Lu Wei said again: "You are very smart, He Qi's case has become a death case, you can turn it over." ”
And you are also very safe, you won't open your mouth if you are not sure of it-Lu Wei swallowed this sentence, afraid that saying it would make Zhang Yuqing feel that he was spying on her and dislike her.
Zhang Yuqing turned her head, glanced at Lu Wei, and laughed, she said that Lu Wei was so polite to her along the way, the meal was served to her, and she took care of her thoughtfully, so she was counting on her to come up with ideas!
Scold! She wants to give an idea to this man who is destined to hook up with Zhang Yuying in the future, she is really moved by herself, don't want it!
"There is no way, but the baby has one." Zhang Yuqing pointed to his stomach and shouted vividly, "Do you want it?" ”
The noon sun shone through the dense leaves, making her face have a kind of ivory warmth, delicate eyebrows, smiling and raising eyebrows, and a trace of cunning and naughty circulating in the dark pupils.
Lu Wei looked at the beautiful and sly smile and was a little stunned, came back to his senses and lowered his head, and the smile kept on the corner of his mouth.
Zhang Yuqing pointed to a few potholes at the entrance of the village and said, "I have an idea that is not formed. ”
Lu Wei said: "Let's hear it." ”
Zhang Yuqing said: "Although Baochuan is located in the northwest and does not have as much water as the south, in fact, there are a lot of pits and ponds, and there are also rivers. If all the pits and rivers can be dug through, won't a great wall of water be formed? Don't let the Hu people run in. Freezing in winter may not be able to resist the Hu people, but spring, summer and autumn should be able to stop the Hu people's cavalry. ”
Lu Wei looked at those inconspicuous pits and ponds, listening to the scene described by Zhang Yuqing, and his breathing suddenly became a little heavier, "Wonderful! ”
"Don't rush it yet, it's not a small project." Zhang Yuqing said, "If you want to do it, you have to spend a lot of manpower and material resources." ”
Lu Wei nodded, indeed, this matter cannot be rushed.
The children hula-la-la-la, one holding a golden beetle strung on wheat stalks, in the sun, the golden beetle flapped its wings quickly, exhaling a gust of wind.
"Sister, if you take these worms, you won't be afraid of the heat!" The children scrambled to hand the wheat stalks in their hands to Zhang Yuqing.
Zhang Yuqing didn't expect these children to catch insects for her, looking at the group of insects that were raised in front of her eyes and fluttering their wings wildly, Zhang Yuqing's whole person was not good, and she leaned against the tree stiffly with wide eyes.
Lu Wei stood in front of her and took the wheat stalks one by one, "I'll hold it for her, thank you!" ”
Children like to speak softly and tell interesting stories, Zhang Yuqing, who saw Lu Wei with a cold face, all of them restrained their smiles, and carefully handed the wheat straw to Lu Wei with seriousness.
Zhang Yuqing hugged her arms, a smile on the corner of her mouth, and looked at Lu Wei's hands full of winged beetles.
Soon to Baochuan County, Zhang Yuqing distributed all the dry food and snacks in the car to the children, and the children were as happy as the New Year. When the carriage started to move forward, there were a bunch of children running after the carriage and shouting for their sister.
When it was almost evening, the group finally entered Baochuan County.
Baochuan was the first line of frontal defense against the Hu people, with a vast territory, equivalent to two or three state capitals elsewhere, and tens of thousands of troops were stationed.
However, the dilapidated city gates, low and dilapidated houses, and sparsely populated streets all tell how desolate and backward this border town is.
The army clerk who was in charge of receiving them nodded and led this group of nobles from the capital into the capital.
Entering the crumbling wooden door, Zhang Yuqing was almost not shocked by the scene in front of her.
The so-called Dusi Mansion is a dilapidated courtyard with two entrances, the front yard is naturally arranged for the guards to live, and the back yard has two wings in the east and west, and a tiled room in the middle.
The wing room on the east side was given to Wang Chunniang.
Lu Wei entered the tiled room and put Zhang Yuqing's burden on the table.
Zhang Yuqing sat on the bed and looked at him with some vigilance.
"You rest first, I'll sleep in the west wing." Lu Wei said.
Zhang Yuqing looked at Lu Wei's tall and handsome back and let out a sigh of relief.
She said, time and place can change, but Lu Wei's heart of guarding Zhang Yuying like jade must not change!
In the evening, the dark clouds gradually thickened, and the people had been on the road for several days, and they were already exhausted, and they fell asleep in the morning.
Lu Wei woke up in the middle of the night, and when he touched his face, it was full of water stains, only to find that the roof was leaking rain, and water droplets were dripping down the tiles and dripping on his face.
Outside, the raindrops were hitting the tiles and leaves with a louder and louder sound.
Lu Wei came to his senses, got up from the bed suddenly, didn't care about moving his bed, and immediately ran to the main room, afraid that the place where Zhang Yuqing lived would also leak rain.
Probably because Zhang Yuqing was too tired before going to bed, he forgot to blow out the light, and a bean-like oil lamp was still jumping on Zhang Yuqing's bedside table.
Lu Wei's gaze moved to the bed.
The quilt had been kicked to her feet, hanging diagonally on the edge of the bed. Zhang Yuqing was wearing a white middle coat, tilting his head and sleeping soundly, the placket of the middle coat was spread out, a few strands of black hair were attached to his neck, revealing half of his snow-white chest, and the beautiful existence on his chest rose and fell back and forth with Zhang Yuqing's breathing.
The fabric of the summer clothes is thin, and Lu Wei can even see the hidden scenery below through the middle clothes.
Sweetheart Theatre
Night Rain: Lu Wei, you kid is not honest in your heart!
Lu Wei: I almost like to be a father, so I have to collect some compensation.
Night Rain: If you want this, I'll arrange it for you later!
Lu Wei: You are my own mother!
