Chapter 48: The Village

"Oooo

A slight sound of footsteps sounded, and Liu, who was sleeping soundly, opened his eyes in an instant, turned his head to look out the door.

"Knock knock!"

"Great, my lord, you asked me to wake you up at noon, it's noon now!"

"And the meal is ready!"

Hearing the familiar voice, Liu Yicai let down his guard a little, reached out and rubbed his eyes, and yawned before responding:

"Alright, got it!"

After being a little lazy in bed, Liu got up and stretched out, and the muscles of his whole body made a silent protest, and a feeling of weakness rose.

Push open the door, walk on the damp ground, and follow the scent to the hall.

In the humble hall there was a table of eight immortals, and ten various home-cooked dishes were placed on the table one after another.

Although they are all ordinary home-cooked dishes, they exude an enticing aroma.

"My lord, those strong men who came with you were reluctant to come over for dinner, saying that they had dry food!"

An old man who had been weathered was bending over at this time and said with a smile on his face.

"There are so many dishes, you can't eat them alone and waste them, it's hot, and you can't put them, you better talk and let them eat together!"

"It's okay, if they don't want to come, forget it, I can eat it alone, and I won't waste it!"

Liu Yi waved his hand and said casually.

"Ah, so much... ,”

The old man was surprised, and then seemed to think of something, and suppressed the surprise in his heart.

Then the old man rubbed his rough hands uneasily, and said with some embarrassment:

"My family is poor and can't afford anything else, it's all ordinary dishes, don't suggest it!"

"It's okay, I'm used to eating. ”

Liu Yi picked up the chopsticks and began to have large bones.

The old man was just an ordinary peasant family, and his family was obviously not wealthy, as can be seen from the patched clothes on his body, not to mention some dilapidated houses and simple furniture.

Although the old man said this, when he saw the dishes on the table, his heart was filled with an indescribable taste.

The three plates of various fried chicken nuggets made the old man feel a pain in his flesh, especially the whole old hen soup in the middle of the table, which made his heart like a knife.

Those were the only two old hens in the house, and they were gone.

Thinking about it, the old man couldn't help but swallow his saliva,

"However, it's really fragrant, how long has it been since I opened meat at home!"

"Uncle, you can also come and eat together, and call the family too. ”

After Liu Yi ate a few bites, he saw that the old man was still standing in place and watching, and couldn't help but say out loud.

"No, no, no, no, we've all eaten, we've eaten!"

After hearing this, the old man hurriedly shook his head and waved his hand.

"Goo, goo...!"

At this moment, a strange sound came out, and Liu Yi couldn't help but turn his head to look.

I saw that in the corner of the side room, there was a little girl about ten years old.

Wearing washed and wrinkled clothes, a chubby little face, and two twisted braids.

The little girl was holding her stomach at this time, staring at Liu Yi with round eyes, crystal clear saliva flowed from the corners of her mouth, and her eyes were filled with longing.

"I'm hungry, let's come and eat together!"

Liu Yi smiled kindly and said to the little girl.

A look of excitement flashed across the girl's face, and she took some hesitant steps towards the table.

"Xiao Rong, go back!"

Seeing this, the old man's face changed drastically, and he immediately scolded the girl.

At this time, the old man's wife rushed out of the side room, picked up the girl, and then said to Liu Yi with an apologetic face:

"The child is not sensible, adults, don't be like her, I'll take her back to the house!"

"Grandmother, I'm hungry!"

The little girl pursed her mouth and said to the old man's wife with a look of grievance.

"It's okay, let her eat!"

Liu Yi said with a smile.

"It's... , not good!"

The old man's face was full of embarrassment.

Liu Yi didn't answer, restrained his smile, and looked at the old man calmly.

The old man was furious by Liu Yiyi's heart, and hurriedly nodded to his wife.

"Brother, you are a good person!"

As soon as the girl's feet touched the ground, she immediately ran to the table and said in a crisp voice.

"Huh!"

"Let's eat!"

Liu Yi smiled and urged the little girl.

"Thank you, brother!"

The girl replied crisply, then reached into her chair and began to gobble up.

At this time, the old man looked at the girl on the chair, his face was full of worry, and he inadvertently saw that his wife kept looking at him, and after a little hesitation, the old man walked over.

When the old man walked to the corner and stopped, his wife dragged the old man over:

"Are you old fools!

"How can you let Xiao Rong make a table, what if you make him angry!"

"Oh, you're going to figure it out!"

The old man was already anxious, but now he was being dragged around by his wife, and his heart was even more irritable, so he slapped his wife's hand away and scolded in a low voice:

"What do you know about women? Do you think I want to!"

It is rumored that the warriors are unruly and reckless, and they will kill if they disagree.

The old man felt a chill in his heart when he thought of this, and hurriedly looked towards the dining table, thinking that if there was something wrong, he would protect Xiao Rong even if he fought hard!

"Your name is Xiao Rong, right, where is your father?"

Liu Yi looked at Xiao Rong, whose mouth was bulging, and asked with a smile.

"Daddy and Auntie went to a big city far, far away, and said to make money to buy me new clothes!"

Xiao Rong heard Liu Yi's inquiry, hurriedly swallowed the food, wiped the corners of her mouth and said happily.

"Oh, far, far away!"

Liu Yi asked rhetorically after hearing this.

"Yes!"

Xiao Rong'er said with a happy eyebrow, but then the smile dissipated, and there was a touch of sorrow between her eyebrows:

"But you haven't been back to see me in a long time!"

After the old man heard Xiao Rong's words, his heart trembled, the corners of his eyes were a little moist, and a sad and sad mood rose again.

"Don't worry about adults, children don't know what to do! Her father and mother are on an official errand in nearby Surabaya City, and it's not far away, so they often come back to see it!"

"I might be a little busy these days, so I didn't come back!"

The old man forcibly suppressed his sadness, and kept an eye on it, and told the identity of his son and daughter-in-law in the past, although it was just an ordinary city guard, it was enough to make many people jealous.

"Oh!"

Liu glanced at the old man, and although he guessed something, he didn't do it.

"Hiccup!"

After half a ring, Liu Yi wiped the corners of his mouth, looked at Xiao Rong leaning back on the chair, rubbing her round belly with her little hands, and after burping, she showed a smile again.

"Thank you for your hospitality this time!"

"Alright, let's go!"

Liu Yi beckoned the six people in the room to come out, got up and walked towards the door.

After the old man watched Liu Yiqi and the others walk away, he said with a sad and indignant face:

"Sure enough, the warrior doesn't have a good thing, pity my two old hens, they lay eggs every day!"

"It's not all your fault, you will open it when others knock on the door, won't you not open it!"

The old man's wife looked angry and beat at the old man!

"My brother is a good man, he gave me silver, you see!"

Xiao Rong jumped down from the chair at this time and lifted a small cloth bag high, and the mouth of the bag spread out, revealing white silver.

"Ahh

When the old man saw this, he immediately ran to Xiao Rong, took the bag in his hand, and looked inside:

"This, this, this is twenty taels, twenty taels of silver, ahahaha!"

The old man was overjoyed when he saw this, and shouted happily.

"Be quiet, don't be heard!"

The wife was obviously more careful, and hurriedly gathered her joy and shouted to the old man.

"Yes, yes, I can't let others know, twenty taels, twenty taels, even if you are killing a hundred chickens, it's enough!"

After hearing his wife's reminder, the old man was obviously much more restrained, but he still muttered with joy on his face.

"I'll just say it, my brother is a good person!"

Although Xiao Rong didn't know the value of these silvers, she was also extremely excited when she was infected by the old man.

"Yes, yes, yes, it's a good person, it's a good person!"

"Xiao Rong, when did he give it to you, why didn't I see it?"

The old man asked the little girl with some confusion.

"It's just at mealtime!"

"I didn't want it, but my brother said that this is the money for the meal, and the money must be given for the meal!"

"I wanted to ask you, but you were dragged away by your grandmother!"

Xiao Rong said innocently.

After hearing this, the old man suddenly realized, looked at the direction Liu Yi left, and thought of his son and daughter-in-law, and his eyes moistened again.

"It seems that there are still good people in the world!"

The old man wiped away his tears and muttered.
