Chapter 3 The burden cannot be carried like this, but must be carried like this
"Where is that sister now?" Muyang lowered his head and wrote.
Ermu smiled contemptuously: "What, do you want to see?"
Mu Yang finished writing, picked up the paper and showed it to Ermu, and smiled freely: "It's good to know a few more kind-hearted people, maybe one day I will have something to ask for someone's help?"
"Think beautifully. Ermu took the paper and looked at it intently.
Muyang stood up and stretched out and walked out: "Look slowly, I'm going to have my sweet dreams." ”
"Wait. Ermu put down the paper and got up and called out to Muyang.
"What's wrong?" Mu Yang asked, "I don't understand, I'm worried that I left you a fake IOU?"
Ermu shook his head and affirmed: "If you really deny it, it's useless if the IOU is real." ”
Mu Yang turned his back to Ermu and smiled.
Therefore, this little girl was insecure and had to write an IOU.
She should be afraid of being alone on this big night, no wonder she deliberately lied to him just now and said that she had taken in a person in the kitchen, to warn him not to act rashly.
When he came in, he peeked at it, and there was no one in the kitchen, only half the job.
"Does your big brother Yishui come home so late every day?" Mu Yang suddenly felt some sympathy.
Sensible children have always been pitied.
Ermu said indifferently: "No, I usually have dinner, and the eldest brother came back after going out on patrol, today." Looking out worriedly, "I don't know why it's so late." ”
"Why else?" Mu Yang said simply, "If you are in trouble, maybe someone's child is greedy for fun and hasn't come back to find it." Looking at the village that had fallen silent after taking in the people, he turned back to Ermu who was full of worry and exaggerated, "Maybe I saved a fox spirit as beautiful as a flower in the wild, and I am reluctant to come back." ”
"No way. Ermu said angrily.
She will not tolerate the slander of the eldest brother, since Muyang is just an outsider, plus she wants to take silver from him, and finally reminded again: "If you talk nonsense again, I will let people drive you out of the village and be eaten alive by demons." ”
Mu Yang restrained himself a little, but still laughed: "No, Miss Mu." ”
"Why?"
"Because you're a. Mu Yang said that he didn't say any more, smiled and changed his words, "Little girl who is greedy for money, I'm dead, where are you going to ask for these ten taels of silver." ”
"I can take someone in, don't you see? The rich man just now gave the village chief ten taels of silver. ”
"So, my life is worth the same price as the rich man's life. Muyang smiled and went to find a place to rest at night.
A simple stable was built at the entrance, naturally there were no horses, and along the way, those who had horses lost horses, like him, only one copper coin only lost one copper coin.
Muyang found a place with straw paving and sat down directly, looked at Ermu and said unceremoniously: "I'll live here tonight." Smiled and sighed, "It's really the same price and different lives." ”
"Life, there is no such thing as a noble or a low. ”
Ermu walked a few steps to the stable, stopped, hesitated to tell the truth, asked for ten taels in fact, for the sake of ......
"However, there is a distinction between high and low houses. Mu Yang looked around, stopped the smile on his face, and said politely to Ermu who came over, "Miss Mu, your residence is not as good as the village chief's house." ”
No matter where it is, there will always be a difference between high and low, and the culprit is people.
Ermu was angry: "So what? If you don't want to live, you can go out." ”
"I'm going to stay. Muyang played a scoundrel, just to see how such a second-hand little girl who took in an outsider regardless of the danger would deal with the situation that good people were not rewarded.
"You. Ermu pointed at Muyang, annoyed that he met a guy who had nothing to do, and he was already asking him to live in more trouble, so he put down his hand and said, "If you want to live, you can live for as long as you want." ”
"What if you don't give money?" Mu Yang said deliberately.
Ermu is angry and doesn't fight anywhere, I didn't expect to meet such a capricious person, obviously I left a note and promised to give money, but I still want to regret it?
"If you don't give it, you won't give it, if you don't give it if you have money in the future, and you don't want to repay it, then I will come to you, pestering you every day and annoying you, otherwise, report to the official, come and arrest you to go to prison." ”
Mu Yang smiled secretly, what if he didn't plan to start a family? It's useless to report to the official, he can't find him, but he can't say this anymore, otherwise, he himself feels that he is a little untidy.
"Don't worry, your eldest brother will come back, even if he doesn't come back, there will be a demon who personally sent him to the door, intact. ”
"For ......"
"I guess, there are people like you, of course there are demons, it's not that I help the demons speak, it's because I think people are the same as demons, there is no distinction between dignity and inferiority, only good and evil. ”
Futaki is still digesting.
Muyang had already endured the hunger in his stomach and closed his eyes to recuperate, and complained about an unknown person, can this water brother come back sooner, the little girl is in a hurry, how can she ask for food.
He's not like some shameless people.
I didn't get hungry, so I grabbed it.
That was a long time ago, and I shouldn't have thought about it.
It's useless for Ermu to think about worrying, since he can't go out to find someone, he honestly stays with hope, stares at Muyang sitting on the straw pile for a while, and wonders why he doesn't lie down if he wants to sleep.
Muyang felt stared at and swallowed his saliva.
It turned out that he was hungry, Ermu smiled, how could this cheeky guy not know to ask for something to eat, did she really think that she Ermu was a calculating person?
Be.
Buns have to be counted as a penny.
Footsteps went to the kitchen.
Mu Yang secretly opened a slit, and after confirming that there was no one in front of him, he turned his head to look at the kitchen, and when he heard the movement of cooking in the kitchen, he relaxed, and his hand touched the straw on the ground and moved his buttocks.
That place had pierced him just now.
This place is still za.
Mu Yang turned over and began to lay out the place where he slept at night, and the smile on the corner of his mouth remembered what happened when he first left the house.
It's better to be at home.
After his father left home, his mother took care of him alone, and soon fell seriously ill and died, leaving him a few worthless jewelry, a little grain and silver, which were quickly eaten and spent.
Thanks to his sweet mouth, praising this today and praising that tomorrow, he lived to adulthood hungry and full, and before he had time to repay his neighbors, he heard that there was another war on either side, and the government was coming to recruit soldiers again.
When his father is gone, he has not heard from him, he does not know whether he is dead or alive, and he may be able to see his father when he goes, but if he goes, he may not be heard from at all like his father, and it will not be in vain the kindness of the neighbors who have taken care of him all these years.
Although he Muyang is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, but this conscription is a conscription? It is clearly a robbery, and I don't know if it is useful to go, anyway, there must be another family to suffer.
He doesn't understand the righteousness of the family and the country, but he understands the love of his children.
Aunt Xia next door woke him up with a sentence: "Muyang, as a man, you should protect your family and defend the country, there is nothing to hesitate about, you have to abide by the rules of the military camp when you enter the barracks, but this is a mountain and countryside, and when those conscripts come, you can't leave." ”
Muyang stood under the tree and nodded, if he left, he could come back, and if he didn't go, there was no choice.
These days, he's been thinking about it.
The sun sets in the distance, the birds return home, and the sound of chirping hoverhead for a long time, this is the most lively time of the day.
But such a bustle has never appeared after the men in the village were conscripted away, and those who have not gone out can come back alive.
Home, long gone.
The man who hurried out of the house had never been trained to fight, and he was about to go to the battlefield when he put on his military uniform.
Aunt Xia patted Muyang's shoulder: "Now, you have grown so big, your mother's spirit in the sky will rest in peace." ”
Are you afraid that he won't be able to let go of his mother?
Mu Yang answered, still couldn't let go of everything here, and couldn't let go of the people who took care of him.
The aunt looked at the land where the woman was still in the field, and said in frustration: "As long as the land is deserted, it is a luxury to drink a bowl of thin soup and porridge." ”
But those people, wearing gold and silver, show off their might at every turn.
Mu Yang was afraid that they would be unfavorable to everyone, so he looked at Aunt Xia and had something to say, but he didn't know how to say it.
"If you leave, our whole village can still save rations, there is nothing to worry about, when they come, we will say that you are dead, and it is normal for orphans without parents to die. Aunt Xia joked: "Since you are dead, there is nothing to be afraid of." ”
However, there will be one less man in the village.
You can't be missing for no reason.
Mu Yang figured it out: "There's nothing to be afraid of, if I have the chance, I'll go to those officials to have a good theory, and take away our smart, capable, and beautiful Sister Xia's family, and don't want their family to live, what is the difference between doing this and killing people, it's better to give us a good time." ”
"You will be poor. Aunt Xia couldn't help but say, "I still want to live, my mother is only twenty-eight this year." "There were wrinkles at the corners of his eyes when he smiled, but he suddenly became much gentler.
Although she is often called aunt by Mu Yang behind her back, she is just an older girl.
"I'll write to you if there's news. Mu Yang said uneasily, "Take care of yourself and your two daughters." ”
"Rest assured, I'll take care of myself. Aunt Xia smiled and promised, "I'm still waiting for you to come back and talk about family affairs for my two daughters." ”
"Okay, this trip, I'll bring them back two wishful husbands, and my matchmaker fee will be indispensable when the time comes. "Muyang doesn't want to cry at this time.
Aunt Xia didn't want to either, and said in a dissatisfied tone: "What is less, wait until you can really bring it back." ”
Mu Yang smiled: "You already have one in front of you." ”
"Then bring back another one. Aunt Xia shook her head helplessly, "Remember, take care of yourself." ”
"Yes. Muyang raised his head and said to Aunt Xia, who was about to hold back her tears, "Sister Xia, you look the best when you laugh." ”
Xia Yulan gave him a blank look, laughed and cried.
The next day.
Muyang set off with a packed bag, which contained a few clothes, some dry food, and a few worthless jewelry left to him by his mother.
He carried it on his left shoulder, and when he entered the city, he took out dry food directly from it and ate it when he was hungry.
A group of beggars gathered around.
