The aunt named Huang Xiao looked at the three people dressed in Western-style dresses, timidly pulled Guo Wen over, and asked secretly, "Wen Yan'er, are you going to be someone else's little wife?"

"What's the matter, I was deceived in Jingshi, and I wanted to escape and be discovered, but I was chased and beaten, and it was Mr. who saved me. As soon as Guo Wen heard Huang Xiao say this, his face turned red.

Huang Xiao took Guo Wen's hand and took a closer look, it was covered with scars, and he was also a hard-working person, and sighed, "You have finally survived, and you can enjoy happiness in the future." It's a pity for your mother-in-law and Qiao'er, alas, ......"

Guo Wen became anxious when he heard this, "Huang Xiao, tell me quickly, how did my mother-in-law and sister go." ”

Huang Xiao took Guo Wen's hand and said carefully, it turned out that after Guo Wen was deceived into going to work in Beijing, his grandmother and sister at home made a living by making some things. Guo Wen went and there was no news, in the winter, the grandfather and grandson were really cold in the house, and the grandmother said that she went up the mountain to pick up some firewood, but she didn't come back, leaving her sister Qiao'er at home so hungry that she didn't even have the strength to climb out of the door, and froze to death.

Later, someone went to the mountain, only to find that Guo Wen's grandmother fell into a deserted hunting cave because of the inconvenience of small feet, although it was only a hole more than one meter deep, but for an old lady who had wrapped her feet, it was like a trench every other day, hungry and weak, the weather was freezing, and she couldn't climb up, and finally died alone in the hunting hole.

Someone found the body of his grandmother, and only then did he think that Guo Wen had a sister who was a few years old at home, so he rushed to take a look, but it was gone. The people in the village begged the landlord Li Tou, got two sets of wooden planks, and buried them hastily. More than four years have passed, and every month someone passes by here, they casually come over to help pull weeds from the two graves of the Guo family.

Guo Wen listened to Huang Xiao's words, ripped off the cloth bag on his waist with red eyes, exposed the head inside, and rushed to the family's grave, startling Huang Xiao on the side, looking at Guo Wen's waist with a human head, he was very frightened. Lu Xihua hurriedly explained that this person deceived Guo Wen of the money he earned by working hard outside, and every six months Guo Wen asked this person to write a bill of exchange and send money home, who knew that the money was all privately swallowed by this person.

Huang Xiao sighed after hearing this, for them who don't know how to read, this is fate, as for killing people or something, that's what rich people can do. He secretly looked at Lu Xihua with a pair of eyes, this young man has smooth skin, a slender figure, and his hands are like jade, at first glance, he is the son of a rich and noble family, and Wen Yan'er can be regarded as blessed in his later life if he can follow him.

Guo Wen and Han Cai'er dug a pit together and buried Jiang Yongan's head, and after a while, Guo Wencai and Han Cai'er returned hand in hand, "Sir, I'm fine." Guo Wen decided to go with you and Sister Cai'er, and I hope you don't dislike Guo Wen for being an ominous person. ”

Han Cai'er pretended to be angry and said, "What Sister Guo said, in the future, our sisters will help each other and be a family." ”

Lu Xihua nodded, "Guo Wen, don't worry." Han Caier and I are going to Chongqing, she is alone and has no companion, you follow her, the two of you can be companions, and then make plans when you get to Chongqing, anyway, I won't treat you badly. ”

Guo Wen nodded with red eyes, Lu Xihua was generous, presumably it was better to follow Han Caier than to wander outside.

"Wen Yan'er, you don't want this house?" Huang Xiao was surprised when he heard the conversation between several people on the side.

"Well, I'm going to follow Mr. and Sister Cai'er. Huang Xiao, my grandmother and sister's grave will trouble everyone to help pull weeds. Guo Wen bent down and thanked Huang Xiao, "Huang Xiao, I have already gone to the grave of my grandmother and Qiao'er, and Huang Xiao should take the vegetables and fruits in front of the monument home to eat by himself." ”

Lu Xihua took out fifty silver dollars and handed them to Huang Xiao, "These silver coins are even the cost of Guo Wen asking everyone to help hoe the grass." ”

Huang Xiao looked at the silver money in his hand and said tremblingly, "No, no." Just stop by and take a look, where do you need so much money?" In the past four or five years, the grain harvest has been bumper, and the price has plummeted, and one silver dollar can buy twelve catties of pork locally, and these fifty yuan are two big pigs. At this time, an acre of farmland with an annual output of 400 catties of rice in the township is only 40 yuan, and this young man is more than one acre of farmland as soon as he makes a move, and his ancestors have only earned more than three acres of land.

Guo Wen said, "Huang Xiao, you can take it." If you hadn't taken care of it, where would my mother-in-law and sister have graves? "There are too many people who have died in the barren mountains and mountains and been eaten by jackals and wild dogs.

Han Cai'er also said, "Aunt Huang, go and clean up the dishes, don't be picked up by animals in a while." ”

Thousands of big, this time to eat the biggest, Huang Xiao heard this, hurriedly put the money into the basket of wild vegetables, took small steps to go to Guo Wen's grandmother's grave, she saw it from afar, there are chickens and meat, ducks, fish and more than a dozen fruits of various colors, this kind of banquet is the city of officials and daughters can't take it out, they have to quickly clean up.

Fortunately, Lu Xihua put the things in the food box, covered the lid of the food box, tied it up with a cloth and lifted it, ten catties of things in his hand, Huang Xiao's face was also smiling, she is in her forties, and her grandson has it, I have never seen such a good dish, not to mention the taste, just by looking at the color and smelling the fragrance, I know that it is delicious, and I muttered in my heart, how to deal with this dish when I go home, I must not be able to eat it in one day, how to save it to eat longer. The daughter-in-law is thin and weak, so she eats fish to make up for her, or the milk is getting less and less, and she is hungry for her eldest grandson. What the old man ate, what his son ate, what his daughter ate, and Huang Xiao all planned clearly on the dozens of meters of the road this time.

When the group returned to the car, Huang Xiao opened his mouth and asked, "Wen Yan'er, are you just leaving?" The familiar villagers, who returned to the village today, are now preparing to leave, and they are probably no longer seen in this troubled world, and their accents can't help but bring some sadness.

"No, my family still owes Li Laocai's money, and he helped me bury my mother-in-law and sister, and I want to go over and thank him. Guo Wen said, and after speaking, he looked at Lu Xihua with his eyes, wanting to ask for his consent.

Lu Xihua gave a thumbs up, "Guo Wen, you're right." Kindness will be repaid, and revenge will be avenged, this is the demeanor of Chinese children. Let's go, let's go to Li Laocai's house!"

The ox cart was not big, so Lu Xihua let the three women sit on the cart and walk on the side of the road by himself.

When Huang Xiao was a little daughter-in-law, she went to the city to sell things, and followed the ox cart in the village into the city, and she hadn't been in an ox cart for many years.

While chatting with the master who drove the cattle, Lu Xihua turned around the mountainside and saw dozens of houses gathered together, and Huang Xiao shouted in the car, "It's here." ”

The ox cart passed through the bluestone road slab in the village, Huang Xiao had already jumped out of the car when entering the village, her family needed to go up the mountain, not with Li Laocai's family all the way, plus there was a food box in her hand, and there was money in the basket, it was not safe to enter the village, so the woman got off the car early and went straight to the house.

According to Guo Wen's instructions, Lu Xihua and the ox cart came to the door of a black tile and gray wall, the gate was closed, and the courtyard wall was not small, and it slipped hundreds of meters, and I didn't know how many people entered it. Lu Xihua is going to the mountain city to build such a yard at the foot of the mountain, planting vegetables and chickens, and then bringing some melons and fruits, which is more comfortable than in the Jinwei bungalow.

Guo Wen got out of the car and went to the gate to knock on the door. This door is for people to enter and exit, the door for carriages and horses to enter and exit has another opening, the gate is only three meters wide, high stone threshold, left and right sticking couplets: all wishes become a hundred industries, when the time to transport to the home prosperous. On both sides there are transepts, each with a round window from which you can see the visitors.

After a while, there was a sound of footsteps coming from far and near, someone came to open the door, squeaked, the door opened, and a small head poked out of the crack in the door, "Who are you looking for?"
