The cool moonlight shone on the earth, covering the whole world with a layer of silver glow.

In the dense forest, the three people who secretly went to 'borrow' some food were finally happy because they had eaten a full meal.

At this moment, the three of them were sitting and chatting contentedly, and Su Ruyu told Jiang Ergou's master and apprentice about the food in Manxiang Building, the largest and most luxurious restaurant in the capital, which caused Jiang Ergou's saliva to flow.

He also said that when he arrived in the capital, he must take them to eat all the restaurants in the capital, only in this way can he make up for the bitterness he has had in the past few days.

...

In a farmhouse some distance from the dense forest, a middle-aged woman was standing in the courtyard and scolding.

"You thief, you dare to break ground on your aunt's head. Stealing things and stealing them to your aunt's house! This time, you ran fast and didn't get caught by your aunt and grandmother. If you dare to come next time, I won't break your legs!"

In fact, in the courtyard, not only this woman, but also a middle-aged man smoking a dry cigarette led a little boy to sit on a small stool beside him.

The child is still young, about two or three years old, he is very active, and he is always restless in the arms of men, so he wants to run out, but he is still walking steadily, and he will fall to the ground from time to time.

is also a father, knowing that he will fall, but he will still deliberately let him out, thinking that this is a boy, a small bump is nothing, if it is a baby girl, he is reluctant.

When the child does fall, the man will rush over to pick him up and pat the dust on his body.

Then he sat back on the stool and smoked, raised his head, and watched his daughter-in-law scolding there, as if he felt very satisfied watching such a scene.

In fact, most of the country women have knife mouths and tofu hearts. Even if she is really at home at noon today, she will give it to them when she meets Ergou and they come over to ask for some food. Perhaps, more will be given because of politeness.

The woman seemed to be a little tired from scolding, panting slightly, and her bulging chest swayed because of it.

She first went into the chicken coop to count how many eggs had been stolen by the thieves, and then went to the vegetable garden to look at the fruits and melons that had been stolen.

Then he crossed his hands on his hips and returned to the center of the courtyard to stand still. It's like halftime, and it's time to start the second half.

But when her eyes involuntarily fell on the flock of chickens and the little fat pig in the pigsty, she was about to blurt out the scolding, but she couldn't open her mouth. Even, a slight smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Her eyes stayed on the chickens and the little fat pigs, which were the most important sources of income for their small family.

Tonight, she had counted the number of chickens several times in succession, and in the end, she could finally confirm that it was not bad!

"This little thief, you still have a little conscience!"

In the quiet moonlight, the woman said one last word.

The man who was sitting on the stool with his head leaning against the door also finished the last puff of dry tobacco in his hand, and then tilted his head and looked at his daughter-in-law quietly.

The child has crawled far on the ground, and his clothes and trousers are already dirty, so the father will not care, let him crawl away!

Such a beautiful scenery on earth is really!

...

After the trio's recuperation last night, this morning's spirit can be said to be excellent.

Especially Su Ruyu, for a son-in-law like him, if there was no accident like this experience yesterday, he would never have felt it in his life.

In fact, as a reader, a reader who has never seen and experienced the sufferings of the world. After such an experience, in the days to come, I will be kind to the people of this world.

For the next two days, the trio managed to get through with the food they 'borrowed' from the farmer's house.

But the little food they 'borrowed' was exhausted on the third day. This is still when Ergou and Su Ruyu kept going down to the river to fish, and went up to the tree to dig out birds' eggs.

Su Ruyu has completely let go of the demeanor of the family in the past few days, and she was a little embarrassed at first, but as she went down to the river and the trees with Ergou more times, she didn't care.

A luxurious brocade dress has been torn and tattered, and I can't tell at all that this boy who was still a personable boy four days ago.

As a last resort, they ran out of ammunition and food, so they had to set their sights on the next people's house they saw on the road.

This time, they had their eye on a fruit farmer with a large pear orchard. Ergou seized the opportunity of the old farmer guarding the orchard to take a nap, and rushed into the forest with Su Ruyu.

In fact, the harvest period of pears is not yet time, it will probably not be until autumn, that is, it will not be ripe until Su Ruyu returns to Beijing, and there are about two months left.

At this time, the pears are not too big, but the taste is not very good, and they are mostly sour and astringent. But the hungry three people can still manage this.

The two men who rushed to the pear orchard lifted their robes to make a basket, and filled them with pears one by one.

The grower seemed to be sleeping a little deadly, and did not notice that there were two more uninvited guests in the garden.

Just when the two of them were about to finish and prepare to retire, Su Ruyu accidentally stepped on a branch that was somewhat close to the ground, and after these days of exercise, Su Ruyu fell to the ground unscathed.

But this trampled branch woke up the sleeping fruit farmers, and for the fruit farmers who were looking for food in this garden all year round, these fruit trees were their life! Any slightest disturbance about fruit trees would involve their nerves.

The sleeping grower rolled over and woke up in an instant. At a glance, I saw Jiang Ergou and Su Ruyu who were coming down from the pear tree.

"Two little rabbits, these pears are not ripe yet! You will remember, if they are ripe, it would be good to come again!

As he spoke, the farmer grabbed the bamboo pole that had been placed aside and chased it out. What people didn't expect was that this fruit farmer still had the meaning of practicing his family.

The old man who was guarding outside noticed that something was wrong at the first time, turned around and ran to Su Ruyu's side and hugged him, and then rushed out, only a voice came into Jiang Ergou's ears from afar.

"Ergou, I can see this, he is a foreigner kung fu, look at this posture is close to six grades, if you don't run faster, it is estimated that today will inevitably have a meal of flesh and skin, hahaha..."

Then, he ignored Jiang Ergou and disappeared in front of him with Su Ruyu.

"Old man, you have no conscience, I was looking for food all the way, why did you run away with Su Ruyu alone. ”

After all, the fruit farmer was not far behind him, and in order not to be beaten, he still had to run for his life, but the distance between the two people was getting closer and closer.

Just when there was still about ten meters left from Ergou, the bamboo pole in the farmer's hand flew out and hit Ergou's back.

This blow didn't cause much damage to Ergou, and the fruit farmer who chased after him deliberately left his hand, he just wanted to force Jiang Ergou to stop.

"Little rabbit, aren't you quite capable of running, and you dare to come to your grandfather Cai's pear orchard to steal things, you are not small!"

Ergou got up from the ground, pretended to be calm and patted the dust off his body, and then saluted the old man.

"Hahaha, there and there, this senior Cai, the boy Jiang Ergou is polite, this trip to the rivers and lakes, the money of our master and apprentice has been lost. I haven't eaten for two days, and I don't want to do all those roadblocks, so I have to come to your old garden to pick two fruits to eat. ”

"Hmph, it's okay to say that the money is lost and you find something to eat, but the pears in my garden are not ripe yet, what can you do with them!"

This fruit farmer surnamed Cai obviously didn't believe Ergou's nonsense.

"Senior Cai, this... The three of us hadn't eaten in two days, so we still cared if the pear was ripe or not! ”

Ergou used such half-truths and half-truths, hoping to bluff the old man.

"You kid will be flamboyant, I think you're lying to me, I don't care if what you say is true or not, let's beat it first. ”

didn't leave Jiang Ergou a chance to continue to talk nicely, he just picked up the bamboo pole from the ground, and beckoned Jiang Ergou over.

Seeing that the bamboo pole was about to get closer, Ergou hurriedly took off the Kunwu knife behind his back to resist, but he took it off with the scabbard and did not draw the knife.

The old man didn't have any murderous intent towards him, he just wanted to teach him a lesson.

Besides, they stole other people's pears in the first place, and if they pull out the knife again, won't they lose their face here?

The old man's bamboo pole is menacing, and there is no merciless meaning, and Ergou has been practicing martial arts for a long time. In the face of the old man's fierce attacks, he could only barely resist, and from time to time, he would be hit by a bamboo pole.

About half an hour passed, and the old man stopped, and the second dog, who was beaten and had no power to fight back, was said to be crying.

The arms are full of red marks of being beaten by bamboo poles, which is not the point, the second dog is half-squatting on the ground at this moment and stroking the red and swollen calves that have been beaten.

In fact, the most obvious thing is the red mark from the door of the head to the bridge of the nose. It is estimated that he was struck by the old man and smashed his head and face.

"I have the strength of the seven grades, but I haven't played it at all. Otherwise, you wouldn't be so miserable in my hands, and I don't know how your master taught you!"

"Yes, yes, what Senior Cai said is that my unlucky master has never taught me seriously, you see that I am so pitiful, don't you just don't fight." ”

Seeing that the old man finally stopped, Ergou begged for mercy without any backbone. After all, there is a saying: Heroes don't suffer immediate losses!

"Beat you again, you'll be crippled! Don't get up quickly. ”

"Yes, yes, there are a lot of seniors, don't worry about juniors like me. ”

Hearing the old man say this, Ergou no longer squatted on the ground and pretended to be pitiful, but stood up quickly.

"Hmph, if you hadn't said that you didn't want to do those roadblocks and robberies, I would have broken your legs if I said anything today!"

"That's, that's, we still know the chivalry of the rivers and lakes, even if we are really hungry, we can't rob it!"

In front of this old man who did not agree with his words, Jiang Ergou could only say yes again and again.

"Well, your kid's words have gone to my heart, go back with me!"

"Ah, Senior Cai, you don't plan to send me yet!"

Hearing that the old man asked him to follow him back, Ergou thought that he was going to be ravaged by him, and his mood suddenly became nervous.

"Hmph! If I don't plan to let you go, can you still stand and talk? Didn't you say that you masters and apprentices have lost their money? What's the use of those sour toothless broken pears, come back with me, and I'll get you some baked cakes!"

Hearing this bright sentence, Ergou didn't say that he was overjoyed, but at least he was secretly happy.

We stole your pears, and not only did you not care, but you also gave us baked cakes. What a righteousness!"

"Hahaha, you kid, don't shoot me these sycophants, let me tell you, it's useless!"

The old man said that it was useless, but the uncontrollable smile showed that his heart was still very useful.
