Chapter 48: Hearing the Hometown Sounds and Feeling Homesick (Part II)
In the midst of the chatter of the villagers, Sleepless finally figured out what was going on from the side.
Last night it was dark and he couldn't see the road clearly, he was tired, so he lay down on the haystack to rest, and slept until dawn. At this time, there were villagers who got up early to come out to work, and they saw such a "beauty" lying on the grass pile for no reason.
I saw that he was ice muscle and jade bones, with a pretty face, a gorgeous brocade robe, and a very different dress for the children of peasant families. Limited by knowledge and inspired by folk myths such as "The Snail Girl", the peasants only said that he was a fairy who grew out of the haystack!
There are few interesting things in the farmhouse, and there is such a rare scenery, so immediately you call me, I call you, call friends, and come to watch.
That's why there was such a scene.
I couldn't cry and laugh at night, looking at the eager eyes of the farmers around me, and my heart was a little moved.
Secretly said: "They are all simple and down-to-earth farmers, when I fled the famine, I was fortunate to have the help of farmers along the way, and gave me food, so that I could escape from Henan to Hunan and meet the lord and the lady." ”
In a trance, the tall man trembled and took the flowers handed over by a peasant woman.
This is a bush of wild chrysanthemums, growing proudly on the ridges of the fields, originally lonely and self-admiring, now by the peasant women to see the joy.
The tall man looked at the sleepless night worriedly, seeing that his face was bright, not comparable to an ordinary peasant woman, and his hands were shrunk, how could he dare to stretch forward and give him flowers?
Even though the peasants on the side were coaxing and encouraging, the hand was tied and stuck.
The stems of the chrysanthemums are going to be twisted.
Ye Wumian smiled, took the initiative to take the chrysanthemum from the big tall man's hand, and took advantage of his stunned mouth to gently put the chrysanthemum on the big tall man's ear.
smiled: "You don't have to give it to me, you wear this chrysanthemum yourself, it's beautiful." ”
The peasants were dumbfounded for a moment, then burst into laughter. The tall man was also flushed with laughter.
Sleepless at night, I saw that most of the peasants were in shabby clothes, and at the turn of this increasingly cold autumn and winter, only one or two single clothes were on their bodies, and they would definitely not be able to stop the cold wind in the future, and they would have to be sick.
The winter is long, and I'm afraid it's very sad.
Subconsciously stretched out into his arms, and wanted to touch a few taels of silver to come out and distribute them to everyone, so that he could buy clothes and keep warm.
But the bosom and sleeve are all probed, but they are empty.
Suddenly I thought, "Yes! Seven or eight days ago, when the young lady was presented with a wooden box of acacia, I put all the silver left on my body in the box, and now I have no name, it can be said that I am very poor, and there is no half of them to help them. ”
When the peasants saw him looking around, they thought that the fairy was going to give him some kind of treasure!
One by one, they all rushed forward, lest the number of treasures was limited, and they would not be able to take their turn.
Sleepless soon became surrounded.
But after touching it for a long time, I didn't see anything to take out. When the peasants were suspicious, they felt a burst of chagrin in their sleepless hearts, and cried bitterly: "Shame, shame!" Today, I have to owe it first, and when I have spare strength in the future, I will come and give some money to these peasants. ”
He cleared his throat suddenly, and all the peasants were solemn, ready to listen to him as if they had received a holy decree.
Sleepless smiled and said, "What do you see there?" ”
He pointed forward, and all the peasants turned around and looked in the direction of his finger, thinking that he had thrown some treasure!
Only the tall man was still standing still, looking at him stupidly.
Sleepless smiled lightly, and when most people's attention was shifted, he lifted the skirt, lifted it lightly, his clothes fluttered, and the whole person flew out more than ten feet away.
This time, because of embarrassment, he was anxious to run away, and used the two tricks of "flying when he decides" and "grabbing the elm fang and stopping" together, but he used the best light gong effect in his life, and the distance he flew was also the farthest.
When he had exhausted his breath and flew again, he turned to a ridge and flew towards the place where there was an obstacle, and soon disappeared from the field of vision of the tall man and the other peasants.
After the peasants reacted, they only saw a faint shadow, and a floating fragrance in the air.
When you come, you don't know where it comes from, and when you go, it's hard to find it.
Those peasants all said one by one, this time they were afraid that they had really met fairies, so they put down their work and bowed their heads.
Only the tall man, holding the clump of remnant chrysanthemums in his hands, looked at the direction in which he disappeared, and looked stunned.
When fellow farmers came to call him, he didn't even realize it.
。。。
Sleepless at night, he frequently leaped with his strength, thinking that he had escaped three or four miles, and the peasants could not catch up with him.
It was only then that he took a breath of turbidity, found a big stone to sit down, rested, and after taking a few breaths, he remembered the scene just now, laughed a few times, and shook his head mockingly.
It happened that there was a puddle next to the stone, and in the pit there was a puddle of rainwater, and the water was not very clear, but it happened to shine on his face, better than many women.
He said secretly: "If you want to go back to Black Elk Peak to be the king of the mountain, you need to change your face first, so as not to have such an oolong incident as Fang Cai." ”
There are several big trees here, lush, green in winter, and the most can hide something.
Seeing that there was no one around, he opened his baggage and took out the clothes of Zhang Daqiu, which he had worn when he came down from the Black Elk Peak.
After some movements, he changed into a splendid suit, put on a tattered clothes, took off his lotus boots, and put straw sandals on his feet. He dissolved the bun on his head, took off the hairpin and other ornaments, and wrapped it in a blue-yellow mountain people's headscarf.
With the help of the water in the puddle, I washed the fat powder off my face, grabbed a few handfuls of mud, applied it to my face, and washed some more.
Only then did he rest assured, packed the splendid maid's clothes, tied two swords, went to the official road, and looked at the black elk peak to throw.
It's a cloudless day, and the sun is high in the sky, showing its unrivalled dominance.
It's just that it's close to winter, and this dominance can't help but be discounted, and the cold wind blows, and sometimes it still feels a little cold.
Sleepless at night has a strong internal force, and the warmth in the body surges, but it can be easily resisted. The poor peasants walking on the official road were grim-faced, curled up, and tried their best to keep warm in the simplest way.
Sleepless in this era, Gai did not know that the Ming at that time had already entered what historical geographers called the "Xiaoice River Period".
Extreme weather and extreme disasters have increased significantly, with either drought or flooding in summer and unusually cold in autumn and winter. As for the end of the Ming Dynasty, it intensified, and finally caused a disaster that destroyed the world.
He just saw that there were too many poor people in the world, and while he was sympathetic in his heart, he was helpless, shaking his head and sighing.
It was almost noon, and he was so immersed in his head that he heard the sound of whipping and galloping behind him, and when there were a few horses, he let go of his natural gallop.
This official road is not wide, and if a horse flies by, it must get out of the way, otherwise it will be caught in the horse's hooves, which will be an unprovoked disaster.
He pulled a companion beside him, who looked very blank, and didn't know what was going on, until he pulled him over, he was still wandering in the world.
When the horse on his side flew over, bringing a strong wind, he woke up like a dream, and hurriedly knelt down to thank Ye Wumiao.
Ye Wuxian smiled and said: "Brother Tai walks carefully, walk carefully according to the road conditions." This is quite uneven, beware of stepping on the pit, it is not good to fall!
Well, like the horse in front of you. ”
