The young man lying on the reeds seemed to be seriously injured, and the surrounding waters were stained with red blood, and he didn't know whether he was dead or alive.

Jiang A-Niang is a woman's family, and she can live with her only daughter in a troubled world where evil is rampant and wars are raging, of course, she has her own shrewdness.

In the upper reaches of Chishui is one of the important cities of the poor country, Weicheng.

She heard that the court in Weicheng was fighting with Xiangma, and it was because of the war that the young man should be dressed as a martial artist.

So, is he a ringing horse or a common man?

Jiang A-Niang didn't know, and she didn't want to know, she just wanted to leave here quickly with Nan Nan now.

In her eyes, no matter what the identity of this young man is, she just hasn't seen it, and even if there is any trouble, she can't find their family.

Thinking of this, Jiang A-Niang took the oar from the stunned Jiang Nannan, and was about to leave while rowing, but as soon as she rowed away, she immediately turned back.

There can be no dirt in the water, and those of them who are begging for a living on the river can't let the dirt sink to the bottom of the river.

I have to get this young man, who doesn't know whether he is dead or alive, to the shore.

It can be regarded as accumulating virtue and doing good.

Jiang A-Niang thought so in her heart, and immediately docked the canopy boat on the shore.

The young man was thin, but unexpectedly heavy, Jiang A-Niang and a woman grabbed his collar, and he couldn't drag it anyway, so he looked at Jiang Nannan, who was standing on the shore in a daze, and couldn't help scolding: "Dead girl, don't come over and take a hand." ”

"Oooh."

Jiang Nannan, whose face was pale, reacted at this time.

The two of them tried their best to drag the boy to the shore, but after all, their strength was still a little smaller, and they dragged it up a little, and then slipped down again, and after a few struggles, they finally dragged him to the shore.

Perhaps it was this process, which was too bumpy, and the boy choked on a few mouthfuls of river water in his throat.

Jiang A-Niang glanced at the young man's slightly undulating chest, sighed secretly, and pulled Jiang Nannan to go back to the awning boat and leave here.

"Mother, don't we care about him?" Jiang Nannan asked a little puzzled.

"What's the matter, you damn girl, floating on the river every day, you have to know that people's hearts and intestines are bad now." Jiang A-Niang poked Jiang Nannan's head and admonished: "We two mothers, one has no money and two has no power, if you encounter this kind of thing in the future, you can stay away, just stay away." ”

Jiang Nannan has lived under the protection of A-Niang since she was a child, and she has never seen any wicked people, so after thinking about it, she asked, "Is it the same as the king in the village who wants to marry me?" ”

"Bah, that pickled skin is also in the village, if he dares to come to the door to find you again, I have to hack him to death with a knife, old lady." Speaking of Wang Popi, after Jiang A-Niang boarded the canopy boat, she still scolded: "It really blinded him with lard, and the bad idea hit our mother." ”

Jiang Nannan held her cheeks with both hands, crawled on the stern of the boat, and her two white little feet swayed one by one, listening to A-Niang's chatter, I didn't know what I was thinking, looking at the crucian carp swimming in the river, I inexplicably felt a little envious.

The canopy boat swayed out of the reeds, A-Niang laid a fishing net on the other side of the river, Jiang Nannan yawned boredly, sat up, looked at the high reeds, bright eyes, and couldn't help but stare at it.

Through the overlapping yellow bellflowers, the man she had seen sat up and looked at them from afar.

"A-Niang, he's awake, you see he's awake."

"Dead girl, be quiet."

Ah Niang's heart suddenly rose to her throat, and she saw it just now.

The boy had shed a lot of blood in the river, and his breath was very weak, even if he didn't die, how could he wake up so quickly?

So I didn't care about getting off the net, so I hurriedly got on the boat and rowed the oars to go home.

The more upstream the row, the denser the reeds swung in, Jiang Nannan couldn't see the figure of the man anymore, and sat on the side of the boat with some disappointment, living boredly, it was really boring, and after thinking about it, he sang a nursery rhyme in a low voice:

"At the head of the village, at the end of the village, the child does not return home, the river god knows that he will be angry, and he will knock on the door in the middle of the night, chirping, not hearing, not hearing, just not going to open the door....."

Singing and singing, the canopy boat sailed a long distance, and the dense reeds also thinned out, Jiang Nannan looked at the shore intentionally or unintentionally, but unfortunately did not see the figure of the person before.

The Seventh Master would often tell the children in the village stories he had heard from the teahouses in the city.

There are chivalrous, monks, and evil, every story is very interesting, Jiang Nannan also likes to listen to it, and often imagines that he is a chivalrous man in the book, walking the world and punishing evil hoes.

Therefore, when that person looked at the costume just now, it was very similar to the chivalrous man that Grandpa Seven said!

Will he fly the eaves and walk the wall and act chivalrous?

Jiang Nannan thought about it in her heart, and the awning boat unconsciously leaned to the shore.

I didn't catch any fish today, and A-Niang's mood was not very good.

As soon as she got home, Jiang Nannan volunteered to pick some wild vegetables to relieve the burden on the family.

Jiang A-Niang looked at the remaining three copper plates in the jar, and the two salted fish hanging on the beams of the house, with a sad face, the village said, what river tax will the imperial court collect in a few days, every household in the village has to pay 100 yuan, if they can't catch more fish on the boat tomorrow, they are afraid that they won't even be able to eat, what else is there to talk about paying taxes?

After glancing, Jiang Nannan, who was carrying a scythe higher than herself, and holding a sickle in her hand, A-Niang's brows stretched a little, and she instructed: "Don't run far, just on the hill at the head of the village, just find something to eat, and if you can't find it, you have to come back before dark." ”

"Got it."

Jiang Nannan squatted at the door, stained her body and face with the mud on the ground, and then untied her braids, and ran out of the door with her cloak scattered.

A-Niang said that the reason why Wang Popi fell in love with her was because he saw her clean appearance, so she stuck to their family like a dog skin plaster.

Every time she goes out, Jiang Nannan remembers to make herself dirty and stay away from Wang Popi, so that A-Niang will not be angry.

There is a hill at the head of the village, not far from the village, usually the people in the village, who have no surplus food, will run to the mountains to try their luck to see if they can find something to eat, Jiang Nannan's family is naturally no exception.

Jiang Nannan is a very lively girl, and she will happily greet everyone in the village:

"Hello Grandpa Seven!"

"Hello Aunt Xu, hehe, I still want to eat your white buns."

"Brother Erhu is good, eh, why are you fat again!"

"Wang Popi, you came out of there, why are you everywhere!"

"Sister Lin, do you want to go pick wild vegetables together!"

Sister Lin's family is good, her parents work in the city, so naturally she doesn't have to worry about eating and drinking, and she doesn't like to play with the dirty girls in the village.

Sister Lin refused to follow up the mountain, but Wang Popi, who happened to be seen, was holding a dog's tail grass, squatting on the stone at the head of the village, with thief eyes, staring at Jiang Nannan who was going up the mountain.

Jiang Nannan didn't notice him, and didn't care about Sister Lin's reaction, so she trotted into the mountain.

But after looking in the mountains for a long time, Jiang Nannan's little face couldn't help but sink, the wild vegetables in the mountains seemed to have been dug up by others, leaving large and small soil pits, nothing to eat, occasionally I could see a few pheasants and squirrels....... It's a pity that she doesn't know how to hunt.

Ay!

If you go back empty-handed, A-Niang will definitely sigh again.

Jiang Nannan sat on a stone, sighed for a long time, collected his mood, and was about to continue searching, when he suddenly heard a miserable scream, turned around, and happened to see that the king of the village, naked, fell heavily on the ground in a graceful arc.

Jiang Nannan was taken aback by the sudden appearance of Wang Popi: "Why are you here?" ”

Wang Popi got up from the ground with difficulty, lifted his pants that were about to fall off without the elastic band, looked up at Jiang Nannan, spit out a mouthful of blood from his mouth viciously, and looked again, the forest not far away, like a ghost, ran back from the mountain to the village with a scream.

Jiang Nannan frowned slightly, looked over with some curiosity, and saw a figure slowly walking out of the dark woods.

He wore a mask, carried a sword on his back, and his clothes were in tatters and covered with dust.

Jiang Nannan recognized that this person was rescued by her and A-Niang from the river.

Watching the other party walk in towards him step by step, Jiang Nannan couldn't help but be a little scared, and subconsciously took a few steps back, and almost ran away.

But unexpectedly, the man scratched his head, took out a grasshopper made of reeds from his hand, put it in Jiang Nannan's hand, and said honestly:

"Xiaojia, I'm hungry."

............

Jiang Nannan went home with a fool who carried a load of game, she didn't expect that the chivalrous man she imagined would be a fool.

Jiang A-Niang didn't expect that this fool would actually find their village.

But these did not prevent Jiang Nannan from telling A-Niang about the process of her encounter with the fool: "That Wang Popi quietly followed me all the way, the fool brother saw it, a white crane with bright wings in his left hand, a tiger in his right hand went down the mountain, and kicked Wang Popi out with one kick, and then I was still very scared, but the foolish brother gave me a fun grasshopper, and asked me if I had anything to eat, I said no, the foolish brother threw stones in the mountains, and threw a quasi, pheasant!" Rabbit! Hit a lot of prey and came back. ”

Of course, there are a lot of false elements in Jiang Nannan's words, such as she doesn't know how the foolish brother cleaned up Wang Popi, and she doesn't know why the foolish brother cleaned up the other party, but maybe out of sympathy for the fool, or her own yearning for chivalry, she still brought this stupid big brother home, and tried her best to persuade A-Niang to take in this foolish brother.

Jiang A-Niang is nearly thirty years old, and she looks at things far farther than Jiang Nannan, first of all, judging from the way this person is dressed, she doesn't look like a fool, maybe when she hurt her brain, which caused her delirium, and she may be sober when she will be sober.

The second is about Wang Popi, Jiang Nannan is still young and ignorant.

But how she didn't understand, what attention Wang Popi was playing, she couldn't help but be a little more worried, but fortunately, nothing happened, so she poked Jiang Nannan's head, and said angrily: "In the future, you are not allowed to go out alone, if you bump into Wang Popi, you will run to the village, go to a crowded place, you are now more than thirteen, catch up next year, and find a good family for your mother to marry, and the province will be annoying day by day." ”

"Mother!" Jiang Nannan pouted, hugged Jiang A-Niang, and said aggrievedly: "I don't want to get married, I want to fish with A-Niang for the rest of my life." ”

"Go and go, and pick up some good things to say." Jiang A-Niang pushed Jiang Nannan away, walked to the so-called fool standing in the yard, felt more or less scheming, squeezed out a little smile, and asked: "Little brother, I see that you are young, but do you remember where your home is?" ”

"Home?" The young man's voice was very calm and deep, but his eyes revealed a little confusion.

Jiang A-Niang's smile was even worse: "Yes, where is your home, who is in the family?" What are your parents' names, and what are you called? ”

"Home, parents? I? The boy murmured, "Where is my home?" Who are my parents? ”

"My home?"

"Who am I?"

As the young man spoke, he actually squatted on the ground and covered his head in pain: "Where is my home?" What about my parents? Who am I? ”

"Who am I?"

Jiang A-Niang was startled when she saw his stunned look, thinking that she hadn't asked anything wrong!

However, Jiang Nannan was a little unbearable, and muttered: "Mother, you obviously know that he is a fool, and you still ask him if he has any of these." ”

"What do you know about a dead girl!"

Jiang A-Niang scolded and scolded Jiang Nannan, and the fool squatted on the ground and cried.

When she was tired of scolding, Jiang A-Niang had to think about how to deal with the fool who suddenly came to the house.

It is definitely impossible to stay at home, the mother and daughter don't eat enough, how to raise a fool, it's not appropriate to drive away directly, after all, people have blocked a catastrophe for their daughter, even if it may be luck.

Forget it, forget it. Let's let him stay at home for one night, and then go to the government tomorrow to talk to the officials, and I don't know if those bastards care about this matter.

I really don't care, I will find a way to throw it outside after a few days, and I can be regarded as benevolent and righteous.

Jiang A-Niang thought in her heart, and when she was about to help the fool, a hurried knock suddenly sounded outside the courtyard gate, accompanied by an ugly scolding:

"Niang Xipi, dare to come to the village after beating Lao Tzu, Jiang Qing'er will open the door for Lao Tzu!"

"Hurry up, otherwise, don't blame Lao Tzu for smashing the door of your house!"

Listening to the voice, Jiang A-Niang recognized it, it was the king and the second dog, the king splashed!

Okay, you brute, the old lady just wanted to find you, but she sent it to the door herself!

Jiang A-Niang went to the kitchen angrily and pulled out a firewood knife, and went to open the door angrily.
