39 Bear Blind Crossing (8)
The old fisherman was angry, and he wanted to strangle Li Xiangru to death, the old woman saw that the situation was not good, and jumped on the boulder, raised her palm and patted the old fisherman's shoulder gently, and said: "What are you crazy about, if you lose, you will lose, and you will be angry with a child, and you will not be ashamed?" The old fisherman shouted www.biquge.info "Originally, I won this time, so it's strange to blame this little ghost for being nosy." The old woman said: "Those who don't know are not guilty, and he is also kind." What's wrong with you losing to me, you haven't beaten me in your life anyway. The old fisherman hurriedly said: "You have been bullying me all your life, am I really not as good as you." Hmph, you wait and see. After saying that, he jumped off the boulder, walked away without looking back, and disappeared into the night in a short time. The old woman looked at his back and said to herself, "This old thing, people have been so stubborn all their lives!"
Li Xiang was already sober at this time, and from the words of the two, it seemed that they were competing in martial arts, and his own kindness caused the old fisherman to lose, so he was unhappy in his heart. The old woman said, "It's none of your business, our husband and wife have been fighting for decades, and the old man has never been able to win against me, so he is angry with you." Then he asked: "Whose child did you give birth to, and you don't go home when it's dark, what about your father?" As soon as he mentioned his father, Li Xiangru burst into tears. The old woman said: "Don't cry, child, is someone bullying you, tell your mother-in-law, mother-in-law is angry for you!" Li Xiangru cried: "Thank you, mother-in-law." They took my father and mother away. The mother-in-law said, "Someone has taken your father and mother, you tell me, I will help you save your father and mother." Li Xiangru saw him fly up lightly from under the boulder before, knowing that her martial arts were extremely high, and he was very happy when he heard this, so he knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you, mother-in-law." The old woman said, "You are a little child, helpless, go home with me for dinner first, and then slowly tell me that it is not too late." After speaking, he took Li Xiangru's hand and said, "Come with me." "Jumped to the ground. Li Xiangru's right arm was led by her and ran quickly, only to feel the clouds and mist, the wind in his ears was whistling, and his feet were not touching the ground, as if he was in a dream, so he had to close his eyes tightly, and after about half a pillar of incense, he only heard the mother-in-law say: "Child, we are home, you can open your eyes." It turned out that she had already seen Li Xiangru with her eyes closed.
Li Xiangru opened his eyes and saw several thatched huts, lit with candles, and although the furnishings were simple, they were clean and elegant. I saw the old fisherman sitting on the chair in front of the table angrily, and when he saw the two of them coming in, he didn't answer. The old woman said, "Let's go cook first, the child is hungry." The old fisherman also snorted, but still sat still. The old woman said to herself: "Alas, today I finally caught this mandarin fish, which weighs three or four pounds, and is delicious and fat, and it seems that only me and this child can enjoy it." As he spoke, he walked towards the kitchen. When the old fisherman heard the word mandarin fish, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he rushed to the kitchen with a whoosh, stopped in front of the old woman, and said: "You better rest, I'll make the fish, I don't dare to compliment you on the level of cooking fish." The old woman laughed and said, "I knew you were a gluttonous old man." The old fisherman grinned and said, "Mandarin fish is my favorite, or you feel sorry for me." The old woman said, "Don't be poor, cook quickly, everyone is hungry." Then he turned and went back into the house.
The old fisherman rushed into the kitchen, only to hear a jingling sound, and after a while, he brought a pot of steaming fish, as soon as it was served, a fresh fragrance came to his nose, and Li Xiangru smelled this smell, and his saliva flowed out. In addition to fish, the old fisherman also had a dish of bacon, a plate of fried white tofu with green onions, a plate of wild vegetables, a plate of spicy seeds, in the Hunan area, spicy seeds are a must for every meal, and a pot of fragrant white rice. After Li Xiangru's family changed, he never ate this kind of home-cooked food again, staring at the food on the table with his eyes and swallowing his saliva.
The old woman looked at him salivating, and said with a smile: "Child, what are you waiting for, eat quickly!" Li Xiangru was no longer polite, and let go of his appetite to eat. The old fisherman and the old woman sat on the side, watched him hurry, and asked, "Child, is it delicious?" Li Xiangru praised while eating: "It's delicious, it's delicious, I've never eaten such a delicious fish, and this meat is so fragrant, tofu, every dish is delicious!" The old fisherman heard Li Xiangru praise the good taste of the dishes he made, and he was still angry with Li Xiangru, but at this time his anger disappeared. Said proudly: "You kid can taste the dishes I made with your own hands, you are blessed." Li Xiangru chewed vegetables and ate fish in his mouth, and replied: "The dishes made by the seniors are really delicious, thank you seniors." He was telling the truth, one was that he was very hungry, and the other was that the old fisherman's cooking was really unique. The old fisherman laughed, and his resentment disappeared. His martial arts are not as good as his wife, the only thing that can surpass her is that the dishes he cooks are especially delicious, better than her, Li Xiangru's compliment, which is very much in line with his heart, has a good impression of Li Xiangru, and he forgets about the things on the bank of the river. Li Xiangru was like a storm, he ate almost half of the food on the table, and when he saw that the old couple didn't even move their chopsticks, he felt very embarrassed, and hurriedly stopped his chopsticks to persuade the old couple to eat quickly. The old woman ate a small half bowl of rice, took a few chopsticks and vegetables, and said that she was full. The old fisherman accompanied Li Xiangru to eat two bowls, Li Xiangru was not good at eating spicy, and only ate one of the spicy dishes, so spicy that he only laughed, and brought the spicy seeds to his face, and ate them all with chopsticks one by one. This meal ate the food on the table cleanly, and only some soup remained, which was the most refreshing and enjoyable meal Li Xiangru had eaten during this time.
After eating, Li Xiangru took the initiative to clean up the dishes and chopsticks and took them to the kitchen to wash. When he was at home in Kunming, sometimes he saw his mother Wu Qingluan working hard, and he would also help with some housework. The old couple saw that he was quick-tongued, diligent and fast-moving, and did not stop him, smiling and watching him busy. After Li Xiangru cleaned up everything, the old woman said, "Child, come and sit down and tell us in detail about the things at home." ”
Li Xiangru then told how his father was arrested, how he followed him to the Pingxi Palace, how he was bullied by the little county lord, and then thrown into the woods, how he met the prisoner car escorting his father, and how he met the old beggar Yuan Yuan halfway down the road, and when he talked about the emotion, tears flowed out. Only on the edge of Dianchi Lake, Huo Wei and Wang Shihao forgot to say the conversation. The old couple sighed while listening, and when they heard the pity, they would interject a few words from time to time and scold Wu Sangui and his minions. The woman's heart has always been soft, and the old woman heard that Li Xiangru's house was set on fire, and was later whipped and bitten by a wolf dog by the little county lord, and suffered a lot along the way, and couldn't help but shed tears of sympathy. He also asked Li Xiangru to pick up his trousers, look at the scars on his legs, and scolded Wu Sangui and the little county lord. It took Li Xiangru nearly an hour to sob and choke before he finished telling his story.
