Chapter 9: A Warm-hearted Couple
The two came to the door of a family, the door was open, and there was no one to see, so Chuxin politely knocked on the door and asked, "Is there anyone?"
"Which?" A middle-aged woman dressed as a peasant woman came out of the house, and when she saw a man and a woman standing at the door, the beauty of the handsome man and the woman was very eye-catching. She had some doubts in her heart, the monk went out with his female dependents?
Yun Tan saw the woman's looking eyes, and quickly explained: "Oh, eldest sister, my name is Yun Tan, this is my eldest brother's original intention, he has been a monk since he was a child, and now there are some changes in the family, so he went home with me, and wanted to stay at the eldest sister's house for a night, I don't know if it's inconvenient?" ”
The woman suddenly realized that she warmly welcomed the two into her home: "Convenient! Convenient! What's so inconvenient! Even the saints today have to pay homage to the monks, and we countrymen can't ask for something convenient for the master! I'm cooking, and my family hasn't come back from working in the field, so the two of you sit casually. As he spoke, he trotted to the stove to add firewood, and quickly returned to the stove to stir-fry after adding it. Yun Tan saw that she was busy and offered to ask for help.
"Yo, girl, you look like a young lady from a big family, where can you do this!" The woman was flattered and hurriedly excused herself.
"I'm not a big lady, it's no problem to stir-fry and cook!" Yun Tan has practiced in the Tan Pavilion, and he is already quite confident in this industry.
"I can't see it! You look like a fairy descending to earth, you are magnificent, where do you look like a little girl! That's okay, then you can help the eldest sister add firewood, these firewood, these are all good firewood that my mouth went up the mountain to beat, just take care of it a little, and it won't tire people." The woman said with joy.
"Big brother is so good to you!"
Chuxin sat on the side and listened, secretly amusing Yun Tan in his heart that he had no other skills, and his ability to coax people was not bad.
"Hey, what's good!" the woman couldn't help but feel a little shy at the mention of her "mouth."
"By the way, little master, have you been sent to the temple to become a monk since you were a child?"
"Yes. Chu Chu didn't plan to participate in this chat, but the woman asked him about him, and now it's not good not to answer if there is a request.
"Will the little master exorcise evil spirits?" asked the woman expectantly.
"Not really. "Although the original intention is a monk, he has never been bound by Banzheng dogma since he was a child, not that dull monk, since he can't manage things here, there is no need to give people hope. Sure enough, the light of hope in the woman's eyes was extinguished at once.
Yun Tan smacked a little wrong: "Eldest sister, do you have any evil here? No, I think this village is peaceful, better than the other villages we have walked!"
The woman looked around vigilantly, and whispered to the two, "You are outsiders, you don't know, our village is strange!"
"Jinhua, I'm back! what have you made so fragrant?" was just as he was about to speak, when a strong man suddenly came in at the door, and as he spoke, he unloaded the hoe from his shoulder. When he saw a man and a woman, still young people, he was stunned for a moment, then his eyes were happy, and he turned to the woman and said, "Are you a guest at home?"
The woman looked at the person who came, and happily introduced to the two: "Little Master, Sister Yuntan, this is my family's son, Tian Erniu!" and said to Tian Erniu: "It's not a visitor! This master is the original heart, this girl is Yuntan's sister, and his brother and sister hurried home to borrow a night at our house!"
The strong man is also an enthusiastic real person, and he is full of promises when he hears the words. Jinhua saw that Tian Erniu had gone home, so he brought the food to the table, and the four of them ate around a table, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. Yun Tan asked about the monuments he saw all the way into the village, and Tian Erniu replied: "Our village is called Guli Village, can you know Guli City?"
Chu Xin replied: "What the donor is talking about, but Gu Licheng, the royal city of the ancient Yasukuni Kingdom?"
"Master is right, this was originally the old town of Guli City, the capital of King Jing, and our village was built on the palace of Guli Wang. ”
Yun Tan was very surprised: "This is actually the ruins of King Jing's Palace?
"Yes, it has been hundreds of years, no matter how prosperous the palace city was back then, after the collapse of the country and the collapse of the family, it was just a ruin, and the transformation and reconstruction of the ancestors from generation to generation became what you see today. Tian Erniu said this and poured a sip of wine.
At first, he was talking about the key point and was interrupted by Tian Erniu, Yun Tan was not yet happy, but when he said this, Yun Tan suddenly remembered, so he asked again: "Sister-in-law Jinhua, you just said that the village is weird, what's going on?"
Tian Erniu's face changed when he heard this, and he hurriedly picked up the conversation: "Weird? What's weird? Don't listen to her nonsense, what do women know!" glared at Sister-in-law Jin Hua as she spoke.
Sister-in-law Jin Hua understood what Tian Erniu meant, and echoed hesitantly: "Sister Yuntan, don't listen to me! I said nonsense!" After speaking, she didn't forget to humbly glance at Tian Erniu.
Yun Tan wanted to say something more, but Chu Chu privately pulled her sleeve and whispered to her, "Okay, eat quickly." ”
Yun Tan stopped digging into the bottom of his mind and focused on eating, but the atmosphere on the table became a little frozen, and everyone didn't speak anymore, as if everyone had an ulterior secret buried in their hearts.
At night, Yun Tan pricked up his ears and carefully watched the movements of Tian Erniu's family, and intuitively felt that they would do something. Unfortunately, nothing special happened, but I vaguely heard them say something about a man and a woman, the village chief and the like.
The next day it was overcast and it looked like it was going to rain. Tian Erniu disappeared early in the morning. Chuxin paid some copper plates to Sister-in-law Jinhua and asked Sister-in-law Jinhua to help make some steamed buns and take them on the road, but Sister-in-law Jinhua was very anxious when she heard that they were going to leave, and said that it was about to rain, so it was better to wait for one more day. Yun Tan didn't want to leave so early, there must be something hidden in this village, and she hadn't used this to find out the details of her original intention, so she used her usual tricks to make a tired and weak appearance, and deceived her original intention to stay for one more day. She wanted to see what waves Sister-in-law Jinhua's family could make.
When Sister-in-law Jin Hua heard that they were going to stay for one more day, she was so happy that the folds on her face were piled up to the corners of her eyes, and she nodded vigorously and promised to prepare a pot of hot white flour steamed buns for them tomorrow morning.
After breakfast, Yun Tan took her original intention to go to the village, and she was very curious about this village full of "monuments". Sister-in-law Jin Hua persuaded them that it was about to rain, and it was difficult to see people in the village, so she was afraid that she would collide with the two of them without knowing the number of etiquette, but Yun Tan was very persistent, so Sister-in-law Jin Hua enthusiastically acted as a guide.
The village is full of wooden houses, with old exterior walls and trees outside, which is quite gloomy in such a gloomy weather. Yun Tan pulled Chuxin to speak, and in front of Jinhua's sister-in-law, he shouted very jubilantly, and Chuxin was helpless and quite useful. They walked all the way, and everyone they met looked at them with strange eyes, and the greetings between Jinhua's sister-in-law and the villagers were like a clumsy performance. The villagers themselves didn't find out, but Yun Tan and Chu Chu are not stupid, and many things in the world are often confused by the authorities.
