Chapter 37: Different Paths Return to the Riverside

Alayanzong nodded and replied, "We know each other. ”

The proprietress smiled all over her face: "Good acquaintance, good acquaintance." You can take care of each other together and save yourself from having to make trouble every day. Little brother, you're in this house. That little sister comes with me, let's go to the women's room. ”

After that, he didn't care about the others, and led Ula Peach out of the door and walked to another room.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Alayanzong did not speak, nor did he move. There were eight or nine people living in this room, and it was a bit cramped, so I asked, "Where am I?"

Beat the bone and dry drum and slapped the plank, and smiled, "Big nephew, of course you are sleeping on the bunk!"

Seeing this, if he slept on the bunk, he might really be able to squeeze in, but I'm afraid he wouldn't even be able to turn over.

Seeing that the ground was clean and spacious, he saw a mat rolled up behind the door, and said, "I'll sleep on the ground." ”

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and they didn't speak for a while. Seeing that Alayanzong really went to lay the mat, Yelu hummed and said, "Isn't that a wronged young man?"

Alayanzong replied while laying out the mat: "Sleeping on the bunk is wronged, and the ground is more comfortable." ”

Everyone moved up one after another, looking for their own bunks.

Alayanzong put down his luggage and went to find Ula Peach to see how she had arranged there.

As soon as he knocked on the door of the next room, Ula Tao came out, with a smile on his face, and said, "This side is very spacious, there are only four people in total, and there is Aunt Wanyan." You're definitely going to be squeezed over there. ”

When Alayanzong heard this, he was relieved and chuckled: "It's okay, I'll lay the floor." ”

At this time, the proprietress brought the futon, and the two carried them back to the house.

The proprietress then beckoned everyone to dinner.

In a whispered thought, the tenant left the house one after another. Alayanzong was hesitating whether to go to eat some Hakka rice with Ula Peach.

Walking in the last fishing village shop, Xiao Er whispered in the ear of Alayanzong:

"It's a black shop. ”

Alayanzong was stunned, and then wanted to ask the shopkeeper, he had already gone out.

Alayanzong hurried in to find the peach of Ula.

When I went out, I just happened to meet the Yan family, who twisted the waist of the water snake and walked over, "Big nephew, I really don't meet in life! Let's go, let's have some food together!"

"Haha! What a coincidence Aunt Wanyan! You finally came out. You go eat first, and I'll look at the peach of Ula. ”

Alayanzong knocked on the door and entered the women's room, where there was a mother and daughter in addition to the peach of Ula.

The mother was about twenty-five or sixteen years old, and the girl was seven or eight years old.

Seeing Alayanzong coming in, Ula Peach smiled and said, "I'm about to go to you, can we also improve?"

Alayanzong nodded and said, "Let's go together, it's better to drink some thin than dry chewing jerky." ”

Seeing a mother and daughter sitting still on the bunk, Alayanzong asked, "Auntie, aren't you going to eat?"

The young, emaciated mother shook her head, "I can't afford to eat." ”

The little girl stared at Alayanzong with a pair of big eyes, and leaned tightly into her mother's arms.

Alayanzong was a little surprised, "Is the food here expensive?"

"It's expensive. If you can save some, you have to take a boat. ”

Alayanzong and Ula Peach glanced at each other.

Alayanzong took out two silver coins from his money bag, gave them to the young mother, and said, "You always have to eat rice, and if you don't eat it, your children will eat it." ”

The young mother, with tears in her eyes, bowed down on the bed and said:

"Thank you, benefactor, you saved my child. ”

"No thanks, let's go eat. ”

The young mother picked up the child and followed the two to the Westinghouse.

There were four tables in the room, each with four bamboo chairs, and the tenants of the hotel had their own seats.

The four of them sat at a table.

Soon, the proprietress brought the food.

Rice porridge, boiled potatoes, and fish stew.

Potatoes and fish stew are served per person, and porridge is drunk as much as you like, and you can take it yourself in a large basin.

The guests were silent and began to eat.

The little girl sitting opposite the Alayan Sect was in a hurry to eat, as if she hadn't eaten for a day.

The young mother on the side said, "Eat slowly, don't get stuck." ”

In addition to eating the fish and potatoes in the bowl in front of her, the little girl drank two bowls of porridge before she was full.

The others, only to break the bones and dry up, asked for potatoes and fish.

After eating, everyone went back to the guest room one after another.

By this time it was already dark, and the guests were nestled in their beds, and you and I were chatting with each other.

The Alayan sect also learned about the experience of the people in the past few days.

Yeluhu and Yeluha have fled west in a hurry since they were cut off by the two masters of the big village.

A day later, the wound on the ear was scabbed.

The two of them went all the way, eating wolf jerky, and when they reached the river, the jerky had already been eaten, but fortunately there was an inn here, so they stayed.

The shopkeeper of the fishing village only embarked on the westward journey the day after he broke the bones and dried up and finished the Yan clan left the fishing village.

The old shopkeeper gave them a share of the salted fish, saying that if they didn't leave, they would starve to death there, and if they left late, they would have no dry food to bring, and they would starve to death on the way.

Only then did the three of them leave the fishing village inn one after another.

The reason why the shopkeeper left a day late was to help the old shopkeeper bury the young woman with twin daughters in the village.

On that day, when the shopkeeper and the old shopkeeper arrived at the young woman's house at the head of the village, the young woman had already dug a rectangular pit next to the grave of a pair of children.

The young woman was already lying there, breathless, equally scrawny.

The reason why the old shopkeeper led the shopkeeper to find this place was because they smelled a rancid smell and looked for the smell to find it.

After burying the young woman, the shopkeeper left the fishing village the next day.

Before the shopkeeper left, the old shopkeeper gave him a sum of money. The shopkeeper thanked Dade, kowtowed to the old shopkeeper, and said goodbye with tears.

As for how the old shopkeeper will live in the future, he does not know.

Through the accounts of several people, the reason why Alayanzong Yandong did not meet them in Taohualuo was because they took different paths.

Several people walked along the seashore until they saw the stream and rushed here along the stream.

And because there was no boat to cross the river, they stayed in the shop, and everyone finally got together.

Other tenants who did not know the Alayan sect were said to have arrived here earlier, and the boatmen only crossed ten people at a time, and they were left over from the previous wave of river crossings.

Fortunately, I still have a few dollars on me, and I can barely live in the store.

In the women's room, except for the little girl, who had fallen asleep after eating, the other three women also chatted together.

Only then did Ula Peach understand the origin of the mother and daughter.

The mother and daughter also came here early. On the way, the young mother's man died, and the body was just around the corner by the sea.

Ula no Peach understood that the corpse pecked by the vulture was the father of the little girl.

As soon as Ula no Peach remembered the scene he saw at that time, he couldn't help but retch, and there was a faint sadness.
