When the girl said this, Dongfang Hong couldn't help but be overjoyed. The words he heard along the way were all Khitan, and when he heard the familiar Song dialect at this time, he really realized how happy it was to meet his hometown and know his old acquaintance.

Dongfang Hong didn't have time to speak, but he heard an old man inside say, "Give him something to eat, let him go!"

Dongfang Hong was overjoyed and said, "Are you from the Great Song Dynasty?"

The girl was startled at first, then stunned, and suddenly took a step back with a nervous expression, and shouted, "Daddy." Before she could finish speaking, an old man in his sixties came out from behind, holding a single knife in his hand, and stopped in front of the girl.

Dongfang Hong didn't know why they were so nervous after hearing what he said, and hurriedly said: "Don't be afraid, I am from the Great Song Dynasty, not from the Khitan!"

The old man looked at him carefully, put away his knife, and said, "Are you from Song, what are you doing here?"

Dongfang Hong saw that the old man seemed to have deep martial arts and seemed to be a person in the rivers and lakes, so he didn't want to reveal his true identity, but said: "Fang Hong, who was born late, is not afraid of the old man laughing, something happened at home, and he took refuge here." ”

The old man nodded, with a look of doubt on his face, and said, "I also came from the refugees!" Seeing that his face was sick, he asked him to sit down, and ordered the girl to pour a cup of tea for Dongfang Hong to drink.

Dongfang Hong hadn't drunk hot tea for more than ten days, and he didn't care whether the water was hot or not, so he took a sip of it, but the water was too hot, and he spit it out again. The girl pursed her lips and smiled, and turned to the back kitchen.

The old man said: "The little old man's name is Zhang Da, she is my daughter, and her name is Zhang Don't forget." ”

Dongfang Hong said in his heart: "This old man is uneducated, and a good girl has gone to such an ugly name." He felt very sorry in his heart, and he couldn't help but feel funny. said: "Uncle Zhang is also from Song, right?

Zhang Da sighed and said for a while: "Xiao Lao'er is from the countryside in Guanzhong, and he has offended the rich and powerful, and he can't live." I heard that there were often Song people here in Liaodong who came to buy ginseng, so I moved my family here! It's been almost 20 years, and I'm just barely surviving!"

Dongfang Hong saw him rushing out with a knife, it was by no means as simple as a countryman, but he thought: "You and I don't know each other, there is no injustice or hatred, what does it matter who you are?"

It didn't take long for Zhang Yifu to bring out a bowl of noodles, put it in front of Dongfang Hong, and said, "There is nothing delicious here, this bowl of noodles is a good thing." ”

Dongfang Hong's noodles are black, and there are some green onions floating on the turbid noodle soup, and he has been served by a special person since he was a child, and he is very particular, although he has often wandered around the rivers and lakes in the past two years, but he is not ambiguous in terms of diet. But since he entered the border of Liao, he has never eaten anything decent, and this bowl of noodles is indeed the best thing.

It may be that he hasn't eaten hot rice for a long time, Dongfang Hong took a bite of noodles, and as soon as the noodles were in his mouth, he felt that the world was delicious. He quickly finished a bowl of noodles, Zhang did not forget to serve him another bowl, Dongfang Hong was a little embarrassed, but he was hungry for too long, and he didn't care about his identity and face, so he ate up a bowl of noodles with a few chopsticks.

He was full, and he felt much better. Dongfang Hong took out a piece of gold from his arms, put it on the table, and said, "Uncle Zhang, I only have so much gold on me, I want to live with you for a few days, do you see if it's enough." ”

Zhang Da's eyes lit up when he saw such a large piece of gold, and he hurriedly put the gold into his arms and said, "Enough is enough! Although this wild shop is small, it also has a few rooms, and Fang Gongzi can stay there." ”

Zhang Da took Dongfang Hong to a guest room and said, "The house is simple, Fang Gongzi will be fine!"

Dongfang Hong saw that there was only a simple bed in the room, and when he stepped into it, he stirred up a puff of dust, and couldn't help frowning.

Before going to bed, Zhang Buyi brought a bowl of medicine and said: "Fang Gongzi, my father saw that you were sick, and there are no medicinal materials in the wilderness here, this is a local herbal medicine, which is quite effective in treating diseases." ”

Dongfang Hong saw that the decoction in the bowl was black and dark, exuding an unpleasant taste, and he didn't want to drink it, but he was afraid of disappointing the kindness of Zhang Da's father and daughter, so he had to pinch his nose and drink it. Dongfang Hong returned the bowl to Zhang and said, "Miss Zhang, thank you to Uncle Zhang for me!"

Zhang didn't forget to smile, turned around and went out.

Dongfang Hong lay on the bed, closed his eyes and wanted to get a good night's sleep. But the moment he closed his eyes, Xue Ling appeared in his mind, where would she be? Dongfang Hong couldn't help but think.

That bowl of medicine really worked, and Dongfang Hong slept until dawn. When he opened his eyes, the sun had risen to mid-heaven, but the window of the room was too small and already dark. He put on his coat and came to the hall of the wild store, only to see Zhang Buyi wiping the table, and Zhang Da didn't know what he was doing in the kitchen.

Zhang didn't forget to see Dongfang Hong and said with a smile: "You have slept really long in the world." ”

Dongfang Hong looked out, and when he saw that it was already noon, he couldn't help but be surprised, and said secretly: "I am a martial arts student, even if I am sick, I will not sleep until this time!" Thinking that he was too tired, he didn't think much about it, and said: "Maybe I haven't slept well in the past few months, but I finally got a bed, and I slept deeply, which made the girl smile." ”

Zhang Da suddenly came out of the kitchen and said, "If you are sleepy, even if you sleep, there are very few people here, only passing merchants occasionally stop to rest." He put a few gray steamed buns, a stack of pickles, and a bowl of gruel without a few grains of rice on the table, which was considered breakfast for Dongfang Hong.

That day, no one came to the entire Yedian, but Zhang Da had to look outside to the north from time to time, Dongfang Hong knew that he must be waiting for someone, and asked a few words, but Zhang Da just denied it.

In the evening, Zhang did not forget to bring another bowl of medicine, Dongfang Hong drank the medicine, and he still slept very dead that night. When he woke up on the second day, Dongfang Hong couldn't help but wonder in his heart, the first night was considered physically and mentally exhausting, so he should never sleep so ignorant on the second night.

He felt more and more that Zhang Da's father and daughter were a little strange, both of them seemed to have martial arts, but they didn't know why they came all the way to Liaodong, if there was a plan, it was cold here, uninhabited, and what was the plan? Even if it was for money and death, Dongfang Hong had given them the only gold left on his body, and they must have searched his body on the first night, since he didn't find any property, why should he be fascinated by him on the second night? Could it be that his father and daughter were going to do something unsightly at night, afraid that he would not be able to see it? Although Dongfang Hong does not know medical skills, he has known Xue Ling for a long time, and he also knows a little about the drugs in the rivers and lakes. Thinking that there was a lot of article in the bowl of medicine that Zhang did not forget, he remained silent and had an idea in his heart.
