"I can't take you up, my house is under Lao Lu's house, and I don't bother to go up with this big basket on my back. Yao Nong shook his head and directly rejected Qin Wu's request.

Qin Wu was about to continue to speak, and when he wanted to say that he could help him carry it back, the medicine farmer continued to speak: "But don't worry, young man, let me tell you this, counting the family you knocked on the door just now, the twenty-second household is the old Lu family, anyway, we can't get lost here, you just have to go all the way around the mountain." ”

"And my family is in the fourteenth household, so ...... Hehe, I won't go up, my legs hurt a little after a day of walking, don't be surprised. The medicine farmer grinned.

Qin Wu arched his hand and said, "No, no, I want to thank you for showing the way." ”

This medicine farmer is already very enthusiastic about taking the initiative to show him the way, and as the medicine farmer said, it is impossible to get lost here, just go all the way, there is indeed no need to lead the way in person, if you blame others for this, it is really undeserved.

Along the way, Qin Wu chatted with the medicine farmer for a while, and when he met other residents of Yishan Town on the way, those residents thought that Qin Wu was a relative of the medicine farmer and came to visit the door, so it took some time to talk to those residents in the middle, but it didn't matter, it didn't take long for Qin Wu to arrive at the medicine farmer's house.

"Okay, I'm here. To make a joke, by the way, he also told Qin Wu, "You remember, I am the fourteenth household here, and the old Lu family is the twenty-second household." ”

"Write it down, thank you!" Qin Wu said goodbye to the medicine farmer and continued to walk up.

Although there are only less than ten households missing, due to geographical reasons, it is difficult for these houses to lean together, and they are all separated by a distance before the property rights of one house, so when Qin Wu walked to the twenty-second old Lu family, it was almost time for the sun to go down to eat, and the old Lu family also happened to spread the fragrance of food.

"It's okay, there are people at home. Smelling the aroma of the food, Qin Wu walked up and knocked on the door directly.

Knock knock.

"Who?" said an old man's voice in the room.

"May I ask if this is the old Lu family?" Qin Wu asked.

Then there was a sound of footsteps in the door, and then the door creaked open, and a sixty-year-old man poked his head out of the door, looked at Qin Wu and asked, "Are you?"

Qin Wu arched his hand and said, "May I ask if it's old Lu?" In Xia Qin Wu, passing by here and wanting to spend the night, I don't know if it's convenient?"

After listening to this, the old man nodded and said, "I am Lao Lu." ”

But after Lao Lu finished speaking, he didn't continue to answer, but looked Qin Wu up and down.

Qin Wu looked at Lao Lu and looked at himself, thinking that he was looking to see if he was dressed to see if he was a person who could give money for the house, so he said: "There are still some silver taels here, if you don't dislike it, Mr. Lu can accept the money for the house." ”

But Lao Lu said: "I don't want your room money, the villagers around us, if anyone brings distant relatives to stay and it is inconvenient, they all live here with me, of course there is no problem for you to live." ”

"I'm just curious, you didn't come with anyone, you shouldn't be a relative of ours here, why did you come to this place as an outsider?" asked Lao Lu.

Qin Wu smiled and said, "It's not a secret, I'm here to find someone." ”

"It turned out that I was looking for someone," the simple old Lu heard Qin Wu say this, immediately let down his guard, and warmly entertained, "Then come, come, come and sit in first, it just so happens that my meal is ready, let's eat some together if you're hungry." ”

Originally, Qin Wu still felt that Lao Lu was wary of his evil intentions and wanted to explain it very troublesomely, but he didn't expect Lao Lu to easily believe his words, and he also entertained himself so warmly.

"Maybe it's because the local people are very good. Qin Wu said silently.

"If only everyone were as simple as they are here. ”

"Ah, what are the guests talking about?" Old Lu, who was busy in front of the stove, heard Qin Wu's muttering.

"Nothing, nothing. Qin Wu shook his head and said.

"Doesn't the guest think I'm just letting you into the house like this?" Old Lu smiled and brought a bowl of hot water to Qin Wu.

Regarding Lao Lu's question, Qin Wu was embarrassed for a while and didn't know what to say.

Lao Lu continued to laugh and said: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just my old man in this house, except for food and firewood, there are no valuable objects, the so-called no official is light, and my wealth is also light." ”

"Besides, helping others is also a good deed, and occasionally someone lives with me and it doesn't affect anything, so why bother with so much room money. ”

Qin Wu took the hot water brought by Lao Lu and took a sip, under the warmth of the hot water and looking at Lao Lu's smiling appearance, Qin Wu felt that his heart was also warmed a lot.

Myself...... It's been a long time since I've felt this simple warmth......

The two sat in front of the stove, quiet for a while, the flickering flames in the stove made Qin Wu look distracted, until Lao Lu added firewood to it, Qin Wu suddenly felt that Lao Lu was doing everything alone, and this house was too quiet for Lao Lu alone.

Qin Wu looked at the empty rooms around him and said, "Mr. Lu, are you alone in your house?"

Hearing this question, Lao Lu's expression suddenly darkened a little: "My old woman suffered from a stubborn illness more than ten years ago and went a long time ago. ”

"I have two sons under my knees, both of whom are on errand in the border army, and they are all fine, and they said that they will come back in two years, so I am still excited that the daughters-in-law I gave to my two little cubs are getting along, and even their new houses have been repaired......"

"But a few months ago, the Yang Kingdom attacked the border pass where they were stationed, and the fight was bad......"

"Although the border is guarded, my two little cubs ...... Nope. ”

When Lao Lu said this, his eyes were already full of tears, and his voice sobbed, it seemed that Qin Wu had accidentally said that others were sad.

"Sorry...... Reminds you of this. Qin Wu said in a low voice.

"It's okay, it's okay...... Lao Lu wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, "I accidentally got burned in my eyes, I'm fine, it's okay......"

Lao Lu added firewood to the stove and said in a sand voice: "Don't talk about this, I haven't asked the guest what his name is, my old man usually doesn't go far away, if the guest doesn't dislike it, can you talk to me more at this time?"

"Okay, no problem. Qin Wu agreed, "It's called Qin Wu below." ”

"It turned out to be Mr. Qin, may I ask what Mr. Qin does. Old Lou asked.

Hearing this question, Qin Wu hesitated, and it was difficult to answer, he was not afraid that Lao Lu, an old man in the countryside, would leak secrets to himself, but ......

Seeing Qin Wu's embarrassed appearance, Lao Lu said: "Is it inconvenient for Mr. Qin to say? ”

"It's not that it's inconvenient to say......" Qin Wu thought in his heart for a while, and finally spoke.

"In fact, to put it bluntly, he is a ranger in the rivers and lakes, he usually has no fixed place, he does all the work, and he doesn't know what he does for a while, which makes Mr. Lu laugh. ”
