After chewing on the grilled fish like a dark dish, suddenly, a burst of snow falling from a tree branch doused the fire. At this time, it was the cold winter wax moon, Dugu Feng came out of the water again, there was no fire to keep warm, that was the cold wind, the cold was unbearable, she couldn't help but shrink her neck and wrap her head between her hands.

"Hey, why don't you light the fire"

"In order to save you, my fire knife and flint are all wet with water, you can take some charcoal tonight, there is still an hour and a half before dawn, and I will take you to your subordinates tomorrow." After that, Zhang Nianchen wrapped himself in an old coat and lay on the ground, and after a while, he snored out.

And when Dugufeng stayed up until the sky was bright, he couldn't hold it anymore.

"Hey, wake up, wake up"

"Alas, what's the matter, my Miss Dugu. Zhang Nianxin rubbed his eyes and sat up.

"I can't stand the cold, you can talk to me for a while. ”

"Alright, alright, you say it quickly. ”

"What shall we call it?"

"I call you Miss Dugu, you can call me Nianxin. ”

"Okay, let me ask you, where do you live? ”

"Jingzhou Jiangling. ”

"Nian Fang, isn't it a year?"

"XVI. Born in the first year of the Enlightenment (695 A.D.). ”

"You seem to be literate, why are you still fishing? ”

"When I was young, my family was open for a while, and my brother and I read a book for a while, but then the situation became more and more difficult and I didn't read it. ”

"Since you live in Jiangling, why did you go all the way to Hanshui to fish?"

"I got into trouble in my hometown, so I ran out alone in order not to disturb my old father. ”

"And how many people are left in your family?"

"My eldest brother died early, my sister married far away, and my old father was the only one left. Alas, he is almost sixty years old, and he doesn't know what he can do to make a living now. ”

"You don't have to worry about this, my Datang has a law that stipulates that all old people over sixty years old will have the local government to make up food and clothing. ”

Zhang Nianxin sneered, "Heh, can you really get it?"

For Zhang Nianxin's sneer, Dugufeng was silent, she had been in the old capital Luoyang for a long time, and she was very clear about what the current Tang Dynasty was like. The five-year-long rebellion of Empress Wei made the Tang Dynasty, which had just been handed back to Li Tang from Empress Wu, full of ills, and even the Dali Temple in the central government had a backlog of cases for nearly ten years, not to mention the small Jingzhou Mansion.

"Then, what about Lingtang?"

"My mother died of an intestinal fistula half a month ago..."

Dugu Feng chuckled in his heart, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to mention it......"

"It's nothing, anyway, I didn't care much about myself, I went to take charge of the boat after the funeral on the first day of the burial, and the official family came to say that I didn't care about what the demon queen wanted to tear down the shack for the funeral at home and rebuild the long pavilion, after all, I was the only one left in the family who could support the artemisia haha. ”

Although the black light was blind, Dugufeng couldn't see his expression clearly, but he also heard the sadness and helplessness of the flat-headed people behind him who were struggling to survive under the situation. Suddenly felt endless pity for Zhang Nianxin in his heart, so he rubbed him in his arms.

Zhang Nianxin was at a loss for what happened suddenly: "Ah, you are." ”

"It's nothing, I'm too cold, rely on you to get warm for a while, I thought that the years when my whole clan were exiled to Shuzhong were miserable enough, but I didn't expect you to be much worse than me.

"Miserable?" Zhang Nianxin laughed out loud, "I'm just a flat-headed person, I really can't afford this word, at least I haven't lost my family yet." ”

"By the way, you're done, then it's time for me to ask you. ”

"You ask. ”

"Aren't you from the Dugu family, why did you come so far?"

"Go to Shuzhong, that's my home. ”

"Huh, aren't you a Dugu family in Luoyang?"

"You don't know this, during the Northern Zhou Dynasty, my great-ancestor Dugu Xin of the Eight Pillars of the Kingdom was forced to commit suicide, and the whole family was assigned to Shuzhong except for the queen of literature, so there is actually a branch of my Dugu family in Shuzhong. During the martial anniversary, Li Zhen, the king of Yue, rebelled, and the Dugu family was also implicated, and was assigned several partial branches, and my parents were one of them. During those years in Bashu, it was really hard, I had to weave with my mother every day to make a living, and the wounds on my hands were also left at that time. ”

"Then why are you coming back? Is the big mansion in Luoyang uncomfortable? The servants of the Dugu family are not to your liking?"

Dugu Feng shook his head and said helplessly, "You don't understand, sometimes the disputes in the high-walled compound are not much easier than in the palace, and it is not easy for me to come back after I have been away from my family for many years." ”

"I really don't understand, oh, by the way, I heard that your Dugu ancestor is a Xianbei person. ”

"That's true, but you can rest assured that I don't have a trace of Xianbei blood. ”

"Why, are you an adopted daughter? ”

"No, since the death of Dugu Kaiyuan, there has been no decent talent, but his subordinate Li Tun was given the surname Dugu descendant Ding Xingwang became the family, my grandfather Dugu Ce is this branch, and now there are not many people in the Dugu family who have Xianbei blood, and they are basically Han Chinese. Is the real Dugu family bloodline, probably there are some descendants of Dugu Xin who were exiled to Bashu when the royal family and exiled Bashu. ”

"How do you remember this so clearly?"

"Hey, like us, the children of the family, the family laws of all ethnic groups, the family history, the etiquette of the family, and the talents and celebrities of the ancestors must be remembered clearly. Otherwise, if others ask about your family history, you can't answer, and the elders in the family will blame you for losing the face of your ancestors. ”

"It's so troublesome, no wonder you say you don't like Luoyang's home. ”

"Oops, you still don't understand........."

After that, the two asked about various hobbies, ideals in their chests, etc., and talked for half an hour......

"Nianxin, where are you going to go after you send me to Xicheng County?"

"I don't know, probably go to Longyou to avoid it first, my dad still has a few old friends there. ”

"Then, why don't you send me all the way to Tongzhou, and Uncle Ji will come there to pick up my boat, and then I can persuade my cousin to take you in for a while, how about it?"

"Huh, is that appropriate?"

"What's inappropriate, your father is almost sixty, some of those old friends are estimated to be dying, you may not even be able to find anyone if you go, no matter how my Dugu family declines, it is also a relative of the emperor. ”

"I mean, we've only known each other for a day..."

"So what, you are my savior, what's wrong with me repaying you?"

"Then ———" Zhang Nianxin said with a slight adjustment, "You don't blame me for changing your clothes?"

Dugufeng's face suddenly turned ashamed like a red apple, "If you dare to mention this matter again, I will strangle you." ”

"Okay, it's almost dawn, let's not talk about it, let's get ready to go. ”

Dugufeng got up and packed up her things, and was just about to leave, Zhang Nianxin stopped her, "Slow, don't be in a hurry to go first," said squatting down and taking some grass and wood ash from the fire and wiping it on her face.

Dugu Feng hurriedly blocked it with his hand: "Ah, what is this thing so dirty." ”

"Charcoal, grass ash or something. ”

"What are you doing here?"

"Don't move, listen to me if you want to live. ”

Dugu Feng hurriedly covered his face to prevent him from wintering: "Why, if you don't tell me, you won't do it." ”

"Well, well, I'll have to tell you the truth, do you remember the big barge that passed by you two days ago without a flag?"

"Hmm? ”

"When I left Gangneung, I was on this boat, and then I accidentally found a reservoir full of salt bags under the bilge of their ship!!"

"Heh——," Dugu Feng's eyes suddenly widened, "They are ........."

"That's right, smugglers, I was forced to escape because I provoked them. The gang leader is surnamed Su, and they are all bullies who eat people and don't spit out bones. This kind of pampered daughter, in their eyes, is like a fairy in the sky, once they meet you, they will eat you without even bones, and they are still looking for me everywhere, killing me, and if you want to live, you will listen to me. ”

Dugu Feng was suddenly frightened and trembled, although he was very reluctant, he could only let Zhang Nianxin paste the dirty thing on his face.

Author's note: Maybe some people will watch this inexplicable, and you can hug the beauty if you sell it badly? In this regard, I can say responsibly: Yes, it is so popular to sell miserably this year, think about all kinds of jokes on the Internet, think about the big sister who was covered with cement ash before Douyin, and think about the titles of station b: "I'm depressed", I "I'm blown up by the Internet", "I have cancer" (here Aite Huzi) The video with the title of "Miserable selling is so popular" in these years. However, don't worry, this plot is not so simple, so let's continue to look at it later
