Chapter 60: Staying in a good house in the mountains

The three of them helped the old woman clean up the room. During this period, the old woman inquired about their situation and also told about her family background.

It turned out that there were once three families living here, one family moved to the mountain town of Vikchi with their daughter's marriage, and one family had no one else after the death of the old man, only the old woman's family remained.

The old woman had a wife who went to the river to fish in the morning and did not come back until the evening. There is also a son, who went to the northern manor to deliver wolf skins.

The son ordered a protΓ©gΓ©, and the woman asked for two wolf skins as a dowry, and the wolf skins were to be beaten by the son himself, which proved the son's bravery and ability.

The son only tanned the wolf skin yesterday, and he couldn't wait to send it to the woman today. Not surprisingly, the son will bring back the news that he can marry.

But not long after the son left, a large number of displaced people came and looted the house.

Seeing the sky, Alayanzong decided to spend the night here, and with permission, the old woman took them to the grass house in the middle.

Although the furnishings in the grass house are simple, it is very clean, this is the house that moved to the mountain town of Vikchi, and the old woman packed it up and planned to make a new house for her son.

Because it was so simple, there was no possibility of hiding objects in the house, and it was not looted by the homeless.

Alayanzong felt that this was a new house prepared by the old woman for her son, and he resolutely did not live here. But the old woman said it was okay.

At the insistence of Alayanzong, the old woman had no choice but to take them to the northernmost grass house.

From the outside, the thatched house is roughly the same as the other two, and it is also three, and there is no abnormality, and the doors and windows are good.

When I entered the house, there was a pile of firewood and grass in the middle room, and a farm tool in the south room, and the bed was empty and covered with dust.

There is a room on the north side with few sundries and bunks.

The old woman looked for a broom, and the three of them cleaned up, looking at the cleaned bed, Ula Zhitao felt that it was not bad, it was much better than sleeping in a grass nest in the mountains.

When dividing the room, Alayanzong hesitated.

Allah saw the dilemma of the Alayanzong and insisted on going to the south where there were farm tools.

The dilemma for the Alayans was not which room to live in, but who to live with.

Ula Peach smiled and looked at the hesitant Alayan Sect silently.

Allah said slyly: "You're welcome, young man, it's good for me to live in this room alone." It was spacious and suitable for two people. ”

Seeing that Alayanzong was still grinding, Allah Xiaoer pushed him, "You lived together when you were in the fishing village, I know this, what are you embarrassed about now!"

The mind was guessed, Alayanzong's face turned red, and the peach of Ula also showed shyness, and turned around and went to the north house.

Alayanzong followed behind. There was an unkind laugh from the back.

The old woman sent two more sets of bedding, and the three of them thanked each other, and a warmth welled up in their hearts.

After settling down to stay, the old woman said that she was preparing dinner and eating together in the evening.

When the old woman stepped out of the house, Alayanzong wondered, the food at home had been looted by the homeless, where could the food come from?

Fortunately, they still have some venison jerky here, enough for everyone to eat together, just boil some hot water.

Thinking of this, he chased out of the house and said behind the old woman: "Auntie has no ingredients, we have some jerky, let's eat ours!"

The old woman looked back and smiled: "The cunning rabbit still has three holes, and the eggs can't be put in one basket." My wife still understands this truth. ”

Alayanzong came to the kennel with the old woman, there was a bluestone behind the weeds, moved the bluestone, saw a square plank, lifted the plank, and a hole appeared.

The old woman pointed to the hole and said, "The thing is underneath." ”

Alayanzong looked down, there were steps at the entrance of the cave, and after going down the stairs, slowly getting used to the dark light, he found that it was the size of a room inside.

It was a cellar made of stone, with planks on top and a kennel.

Potatoes, sweet potatoes, white radish, carrots, green onions and cabbage were piled up on the ground.

Alayanzong nodded, with these foods, the old woman's family of three will not cause famine.

The old woman said: "I planted all this, if those homeless people are polite, maybe these will be given to them! They are welcome, they are left for me, let's eat." ”

Alayanzong admires the kindness of the old woman, and kindness must also be measured.

"It's all given to them, what do you eat?" Alayanzong was puzzled.

"Didn't I say you can't put all your eggs in one basket? ”

Alayanzong still didn't quite understand, there were so many ingredients here, could there be other places?

With doubts, Alayanzong helped the old woman get some potatoes, turnips, etc., and came out.

When they arrived at the kitchen, Ula Tao helped wash the potatoes, and the old woman went into the bedroom, and without much effort, took out a rice bag.

Alayanzong and the others were very surprised, obviously the house was turned over in a mess, how could there be rice?

The old woman smiled and explained, "Add a layer to the roof. ”

The crowd rejoiced.

The old woman stuffed a large pot of rice and said, "The old man and his son will come back for dinner in a while." Seeing that you are kind-hearted, everyone will be lively together. ”

As he spoke, he heard movement outside. "I'm hungry, and I can smell the rice from afar. What about the black dogs? Why don't you see the dogs?"

An old man walked into the house, the old man was about sixty years old, with a red face, a short beard, a very strong person, a loud voice, and a coarse cloth green coat, which looked neat and tidy.

"Alas, there are guests!" the old man said, took off his hat and put it at the door, and looked at Alayanzong and the others.

The old woman hurriedly introduced: "This is the old man, these are passing guests, they are very good, you can drink two glasses in a while." ”

When the old man heard the old woman say this, he smiled and said, "Hahaha! That's good, that's good, I'll wash the handle first." So I went to the water tank and scooped up water and washed my hands.

"Where's my son, hasn't he come back yet?"

The old woman hurriedly responded: "It should be soon." ”

The old man wiped his face and said, "Oh, by the way, there is fish outside, stew it in a pot." Tonight, we will open the meat and let the guests taste the fresh fish we have here. Haha!"

Alayanzong hurriedly said, "The old man is polite. ”

Alayanzong helped the old woman bring in a basket full of fresh fish from outside. The old woman took a few and put them in the basin, and Alayanzong helped clean them up.

Ala Xiaoer squatted on the stove with his arms on his shoulder, adding firewood to the fire.

The shredded potatoes are fried.

The radish and fresh fish are stewed.

Alayanzong took some venison jerky, and the old woman went back to the pot to process it, and suddenly another fragrance wafted out of the house.

Dishes are served.

I don't know where the old man took out a jar of self-brewed old wine, and just poured it into the bowl, he heard someone outside the house shouting:

"Mother, I'm back!

While speaking, a young man walked in from outside the door, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a dignified appearance, a blue robe that looked even more chic and handsome, and his voice was unusually loud.

Needless to say, this is the son of the old woman, and looking at the joy on his face, you know that his marriage is going well.

He was amazed to see a room full of people.

The old woman said: "If there are guests, I will wait for you, wash your hands quickly, sit down to eat, and drink two glasses with the guests, which can be regarded as a celebration for you." ”
