The man said: "I'm really glad that I didn't make a big mistake, otherwise I would really be inferior to a beast." ”

When the old woman saw him let go of Lan'er, she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and saw that his tone was sincere, and his face was ashamed, not like a lie, so she picked up the bowl of hot soup and said: "There are no good things at home, this bowl of brown sugar ginger soup, you drink it first, warm up your body and then eat with us." ”

The man took the ginger soup, tasted it a little and drank it in one gulp, and suddenly felt that a hot breath spread from his abdomen, which warmed up a lot from the inside out, and sweat oozed from his forehead.

The old woman took the empty bowl and said, "It's not so cold, is it? Tomorrow I will go to the town again and ask a Lang Zhong to come over and take a closer look at you." ”

The man bowed down again and said: "Under the surname Lin, the name is Qing, thank you for the rescue of the benefactor, and I will repay it in the future." Now that I'm almost recovered, how dare I bother the Rauen again?"

The old woman saw that he was seriously injured and still took it so seriously, and hurriedly said: "Who asks your name, saves people's lives, and wins the seventh-level floating slaughter, and does not expect to repay in the future." Now that we have met you, do we want to see you frozen to death in the snow? You see that you have vomited blood now, so why bother to be strong? Ask Lang Zhong to prescribe a prescription for you, because we are afraid that you will fall ill in the future. ”

Lin Qing originally intended to be afraid that outsiders would cause trouble here, and it would be even worse if he revealed it to others again, so he said vaguely: "I am a person who practices martial arts, this is an internal injury, and I have my own method of pranayama cultivation, which is different from the way of medicine stones, so I said that there is no need to bother." Alas, I was really crazy just now, and it was really ...... to treat my benefactor like this."

The old woman waved her hand and said kindly: "It was just a misunderstanding just now, and listening to your tone, you were harmed, so naturally you have to be on guard everywhere." You martial arts practitioners, your body bones are strong, you have been so seriously injured, you walk in the snow wearing single clothes, if ordinary people are afraid that they will freeze to death in a moment or three. ”

After that, he walked to the wall and opened the wooden box to rummage for a while, and turned around and said: "My daughter and son-in-law died of illness at an early age, and I was left to live with Lan'er, and there are still a few pieces of clothing here, which were left after my son-in-law passed away, if you are not taboo, you will be in a few days, and I will make a new one for you in a few days." ”

Lin Qing hurriedly said: "Don't bother, these few things are fine, I don't know the name of the benefactor......

The old woman said: "My mother's surname is Wang, and everyone in the village calls me Wang Po." That child's father's surname is Lin, but he has the same surname as you. You rest, and I'll bring the food. ”

Lin Qing nodded, squatted down and said softly to Lan'er: "I scared you just now, right? I fainted and woke up, afraid of falling into the hands of the enemy, so I acted like this, you must not be surprised." ”

Lan'er shook her head and said, "You let me go after listening to my grandmother's words, I don't blame you, it's just that you were seriously injured and vomited a lot of blood." ”

Lin Qing saw that he was simple-minded, and he was already worried because he vomited blood at the moment, and his heart was moved, and when he was talking, he saw that the door curtain was lifted, and Wang Po had already brought food in.

After the meal, Wang Po took a few thick clothes and said to Lin Qing: "The weather is still cold these days, add a few more clothes." ”

Lin Qing took it, and Lan'er asked, "Is my uncle from a neighboring village, why don't you wear cotton clothes?"

Lin Qing couldn't help but sigh and said, "Uncle is from Jiangnan, and it's thousands of miles away from here!"

Although Lan'er didn't know where Jiangnan was, she also knew that thousands of miles were very far away, and she was even more surprised, and just stared at Lin Qing with her mouth wide open.

Lin Qing has been killed for a long time, and the plain and quiet of the farmhouse is very rare for him, and he has been very familiar with Lan'er for a while, although he is injured, he picks up Lan'er from time to time, whispers a few words, sometimes makes Lan'er's eyes round, and sometimes makes Lan'er laugh very well, it seems that he no longer minds the thrill just now.

Wang Po came over and said, "It's getting late, uncle is going to recuperate, Lan'er goes to sleep in grandma's house!" Then he took the child to the next room, and after a while, he brought a quilt and put it down, and said, "Sometimes the kang is very cold at night, so let's press more quilts." ”

The northern winter is extremely cold, and the fire is to be burned for the winter, so the house is usually built with masonry and loess to build a platform with a fire channel inside, commonly known as the "fire kang", which leads to the stove outside, and can usually cook and heat.

After Wang Po finished settling down, she walked to the chair next to her and sat down, poured out a bowl of hot tea from the teapot on the table, pushed it in front of Lin Qing, and said slowly: "You came here from thousands of miles south of the Yangtze River, there must have been some major changes, otherwise you wouldn't have come to the north wearing only a single shirt and a single shirt, and you would have been so seriously injured and frozen on the side of the road." Originally, other people's sad things should not be asked casually, but since you have come to my house, it is also fate, if you don't like the old wife and son, just talk about it and talk about your future plans. ”

Lin Qing pondered for a moment and said: "The benefactor asked, I didn't dare to hide it, I was poisoned in the south of the Yangtze River, and my internal strength was lost seventy or eighty percent, and I was chased and killed for days before I recovered, and I ran all the way to the north, I couldn't eat steadily, and I couldn't sleep well." To be honest, I haven't had a decent meal in over a month. ”

Wang Po sighed: "Look at your gorgeous clothes, it is really pitiful to fall into such a world. But it's hard to believe that you can't eat a full meal like you. ”

Lin Qing said: "When I first came out of the customs, I thought I had gotten rid of the pursuit, so I breathed a sigh of relief, found a hotel and ordered a table of decent dishes, ready to eat." It's just that before I could move my chopsticks, hidden weapons from all directions beckoned to me, and the customers in this store turned out to be disguised by my enemy!"

Speaking of this, he clenched his fists, his eyes were angry, and said: "Sigh only sigh that I didn't know people before, auntie, who do you say that my enemy? He is my friend of eight worships, no wonder he has the slightest control of my whereabouts!"

Lin Qing seemed to realize that his voice was too high, and lowered his voice and said: "I reluctantly sent this group of people, I didn't care about eating, drinking and resting, so I ran north for a few days and nights, the colder and colder I went, it began to snow in the sky, endlessly, and there were even people who were ambushed in this bitter cold place waiting to kill me, I gritted my teeth and sent these people away, but I was also seriously injured, and then ...... And he fainted. ”

Wang Po said: "It turned out that you were betrayed by your friends, no wonder you acted like that just now...... I just hope that I can be safe and sound in the future. The name of our village is unknown, and there are thousands of such villages in the north, so if you flee here, you will never be hunted down again. When the wind passes, you will either go back to Jiangnan again, or bring your family over again. ”

Lin Qing said gloomily: "I don't have any family members for a long time...... I don't know if they will find this place in a while! But don't worry, I won't bother you, and when the injury is healed, I'll leave immediately!"

Wang Po said: "What kind of words is this, since you have no family, I saved you, do you still drive you out and be chased and killed again? Not to mention that I can't let you go, just let you go, where are you going?"

Lin Qing said: "The sky and the earth are big, isn't there a place for me?" Speaking of this, a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes, and said: "Besides, I can't hide in such a small village and survive, if the eldest husband doesn't take revenge, wouldn't it be in vain to live in the world, how can I make everyone in the rivers and lakes laugh at me Lin ...... Qing is an incompetent rat!"

Seeing his ruthless eyes, Wang Po stood up, wiped the water stains on the table, and said: "Fight and kill, when is it a head?" I don't advise you to do anything, I'm afraid that the most proud time is just to eat well and dress well, although you are now down, but with your ability, even if you don't have the previous scenery, incognito, and enjoy yourself in peace is not a way to go. Haven't you heard people say it? You hate me, everyone in the world is angry, you kill me, you have no children and no home, you fight me, you waste your good years, you stop, you fight for fame with a sword, you fight for profit with a sword, I'm afraid it's just a life of running away. ”

Seeing Lin Qingwu staying there, Wang Po turned around and smiled: "I have talked a lot today, relying on the old and selling the old is annoying, you don't have to be surprised, it's not early, you should rest early." ”

When Lin Qing heard this, she couldn't help but be stunned, and secretly thought to herself: "This princess looks vulgar, but she doesn't look like a country woman when she speaks, and the next few sentences are even more strange. Lying on the kang, my mind was disturbed, sometimes I seemed to have returned to the mighty time of giving orders, and sometimes I was chased and kept running away, and I fell asleep in a daze.

After more than ten days, the snow began to fall, a big sun hung in the sky, and the weather was very clear.

Lin Qing got up early, sat cross-legged in the courtyard, and tested himself, but the toxin was still forced by him in the dantian palace without the slightest oozing.

It's just that he has traveled a long way, and he has no time to take care of it on the way, and the toxin stays in his body for too long, and he is afraid that it will take a year or two to slowly force the poison out of the body to recover his strength.

Lin Qing raised his eyes and looked around, this yard is not too big, it is enclosed with a wooden fence, and there are dead branches entangled, presumably trumpet flowers and the like, and the flower seeds that bear in autumn are not picked, and they tremble slightly in the wind.

A gravel road in the middle leads to the courtyard gate, which is said to be the courtyard gate, but it is just a few wooden planks nailed together, squeaking back and forth in the wind.

The ground on the left is clean, there are a number of ridges, it is estimated that the family grows vegetables for food, and on the right there is a big tree, which needs to be hugged by both hands.

Wang Po came out of the house to see Lin Qing looking at the tree, and said with a smile: "This is a pear tree, but unfortunately it is inconvenient to store, or you can taste the taste of pears." ”

Lin Qing took a deep breath and felt that the air was very cold, and there was a fresh taste, the winter in the north was indeed not like Jiangnan.

The weather in the south of the Yangtze River is always hazy, and sometimes it rains continuously, and the meaning of clammy and cold seems to soak into people's bones, alas...... Thinking of this, Lin Qing was a little bored, turned around and walked into the house, and saw that breakfast had been set up on the table, but it was just a plate of pickles, a pot of gruel and a few nests, which was very different from the exquisite breakfast that Lin Qing ate in the past, but because he was in a stable mood to get rid of the pursuit, it was extremely sweet to eat in his mouth.

Lan'er pounded the rice in the bowl with chopsticks, and looked like she was spitting and spitting at Wang Po, Lin Qing patted her forehead and said in her heart: "I was rescued that day, and I heard Lan'er say to his grandmother that he wanted to buy firecrackers, presumably for this matter." Thinking of this, he put down the dishes and chopsticks and said to Mrs. Wang: "Aunt Wang, the injuries on my body are no longer in trouble, and I want to take Lan'er out for a walk and buy a few strings of fireworks and firecrackers for him to play with." ”

Wang Po smiled: "These things look good when they are lit, and after a bang, there is nothing, so every New Year's Day, I don't buy more for him, it's hard for you to remember." After that, he took out a patched bag from the pocket of his cotton coat, spread it out carefully, took a few big coins from it and put it in Lan'er's hand and said, "You are not allowed to buy things when you go out with Uncle Qing, do you know?" and looked up at Lin Qing and smiled: "Let you see the smile, if you don't use it quickly, I'm afraid that Lan'er will have to pay for the money to study at the village school in the spring." ”

Seeing this, Lin Qing sighed in his heart: "In the past, the daily expenses were not a hundred, but eighty, but I didn't expect that ordinary farmers would live so hard. It's also true, one of them is old and weak, and the other is young, how can they have any strength to make money, but they just rely on weekdays to get by, and it is difficult to get by. ”

Lan'er looked very happy, holding the big coins tightly in her hand, looking satisfied.

Lin Qing glanced at Lan'er and said in his heart: "This child is also very pitiful, without father and mother, only his grandmother brought him up, seeing him so excited, his grandmother must not allow him to go out to play on weekdays." ”

Lan'er took Lin Qing's hand and ran forward for a while, gradually there were more pedestrians, the weather had been bad a few days ago, few people went out, and today the weather is clear, and people are pouring out of their homes to buy New Year's goods.

Seeing the lively scene in the bazaar, Lan'er was already dazzled, with her eyes open, look here, look there.

Lin Qing had seen a bigger scene than this, and he didn't care about it, but he just let Lan'er take his hand and walk around in the bustling crowd.

Lan'er wasn't very interested in anything else, she only stopped in front of the firecracker seller for a long time, and she didn't have a lot of money in her hand, so she couldn't make up her mind to pick and choose, if someone else bought some, Lan'er would look at it with envy for a while.

Lin Qing wanted to buy more for Lan'er, but the bags were full of jade and jade that he hurriedly brought out when he fled, not to mention that he couldn't exchange it in this small village and town, but he was afraid that it would cause trouble for their family.

Lan'er said: "It's useless for them to shout, ordinary people can't afford to buy these game, these things are mainly sold to wealthy families in the town." ”

As he was talking, he saw a person who looked like an official coming over, and he checked every game and said, "Lao Hu, you still owe taxes, I think you haven't mixed badly recently, shouldn't you make up for it?"

The hunter hurriedly took out a little silver tael from his inner bosom, bowed down and said in a low voice: "Official, the little one has already remembered, the whole one or two dollars, not bad, right?"
