Mengzhou Road, outside the happy forest, sat a majestic man, holding a wine jar in his hand, his eyes looked at the direction of Mengzhou Mansion, and the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on his face, bringing some loneliness.

Squeak, squeak!

An ox cart carrying a large wooden barrel drove slowly, and the spring rain dug many potholes in the road, and the wooden barrel occasionally splashed in the shaking, and the man who drove the cart broke a few wicker sticks and put them in it, and the water did not splash out.

Click!

The ox cart passed by the man, and the wheel near the man suddenly broke, and the big bucket was thrown at the man.

"Man, get out of the way, it's dangerous!" exclaimed the guests in the Happy Forest in unison.

Crash!

The man's whole body was drenched with the water flowing out of the bucket, and there were two carps jumping around on the ground, everyone fixed their eyes to see that the bucket did not press on the man, the man held the bucket with his left hand steadily, let it slowly reset, and took the wine jar under his nose with his right hand, smelled it, frowned and said: "There is fishy water in the wine, but it is a pity that there is a good wine!"

"Who is that man? The bucket looks like it's three or two hundred pounds!"

The man who was driving the car jumped out of the car, looking frightened, but still did not forget to say to the guest: "Not only three or two hundred catties, but also the fish in it, there are also three or two hundred catties!"

The guy of Happy Forest said proudly: "He is the head of Yanggu County, Wu Song, who fights tigers on Jingyanggang, not to mention the five or six hundred catties of wooden barrels, the day before yesterday in the woods, four or five thousand catties of stones, the head can also be lifted with one hand and thrown to a height of more than ten zhang." ”

"Oh! It turned out to be fighting Tiger Wu Song, no wonder!"

The guy said that Wu Song's divine power that day was ten times bigger, and the guests didn't mind, Mengzhou Road was full of men from the rivers and lakes, and Wu Song's fame had all been heard.

"Thank you so much, Dutou, for bothering you good people to do it to the end, put the fish bucket on the ground for me, and I will repair the wheels at once. The man who was driving the car said hurriedly.

"It's very troublesome to move up and down, I'll hold on like this, you can fix it." ”

"Dutou, this will take about half an hour....."

"You are cultivating for half a month, and there will not be a drop of water splashed in the bucket!" Wu Song threw the wine jar and said to the man: "Bring me another ten catties of wine." ”

Wu Song raised his left foot and held the fish bucket, his clothes were soaked, so he simply took off all the clothes on his upper body, wrung them out, and threw them on the stool.

The guy is very sensible, moved a small table, not only ten catties of wine, but also a plate of lamb, a plate of braised beef, Wu Song was overjoyed, and did not change hands, still one foot on the ground, one foot on the barrel, both hands are not idle, one hand with meat to eat, one hand to drink wine, very comfortable, see the driver surprised for a long time, only to pop out a few words: "All heads are gods descending to earth!"

"Uncle, the slave family will wash your clothes for you!"

Looking at Wu Song's solid muscles, the lark couldn't help but overflow with spring love, where could he bear it, took Wu Song's clothes and fled into the kitchen.

"His strong muscles, I don't know how they feel to the touch, why am I so hot!"

The lark kept wiping her face with Wu Song's soaked clothes, she tore a small pearl from her hairpin, put it on the cutting board, and knocked it hard with the handle of a kitchen knife, and the pearl turned into powder.

"Old no, today the old lady wants to do a good thing with Wu Song, it's cheap for you!"

She put the pearl powder into a bowl of pork filling, rolled out the dumpling wrappers, wrapped twenty dumplings, and another hundred or so dumplings, walked outside, beckoned, and motioned for the eldest to come in.

"Uncle Quan, you have been working in the Happy Forest for the longest time, and you should know who the owner usually befriends. ”

"The villain only knows how to work, and he doesn't know anything else. "Uncle Quan is an old man, how can he not know that Jiang Menshen's usual friends are all good men in the green forest, and he doesn't do things above board, but he knows that these things have nothing to do with him, and the more ignorant he is, the better.

"Uncle Quan, you are very sensible. Skylark nodded: "Later, the owner will invite a group of friends to come back, this group of friends are unwilling to meet with the living, so you tell the guys, today is the holiday, go home, and come back to work tomorrow morning." ”

You don't have to work, you can go home for a night, Uncle Quan naturally agreed, and the lark immediately cooked the twenty dumplings with pearl powder, and secretly looked out, the ox cart had been repaired, Wu Song changed his dry clothes, and was taking two carp into the kitchen.

"Sister-in-law, the man gave two carp. ”

"Keeping in the water, the fish and the water are the best, otherwise there will be no joy of fish and water!" The lark couldn't help but hint.

"Huh?" Wu Song was busy putting the fish into the water tank, but he didn't hear clearly.

"Uncle, I cooked the dumplings, which should have been taken in to serve the old lady, but I was afraid that she would be unhappy, so I had to bother you, and when the old lady finished eating, we would eat it together. ”

Wu Song nodded, took the dumplings, took the aged vinegar and garlic, and went straight to the old lady's room.

"Wu Song, is it a dumpling? It's only the end of Shen at this moment, how can you eat dinner so early?"

"Old lady, you are really amazing, I just arrived at the door, you know that it is me, and you also know that it is dumplings, by the way, you can hear the heavy footsteps, it is me, the dumplings have a fragrance and the sour taste of old vinegar, but how do you know that it is the end of Shen and not the beginning of Youchu?"

"The old body's eyes can't see, so they will naturally use their ears, nose, and hands to perceive the outside world, and every day the sun shines on that side, it is the end of Shen..."

Wu Song nodded, and then said: "I saw dumplings in the kitchen, anyway, it's fine, so I'll bring them in for you to eat, if you're not hungry, I'll come back later." ”

"It's not in the way, anyway, three meals a day, an hour earlier, an hour later, the same!"

Wu Song put the dumplings on the table and moved the table to the old lady, he knew that the old lady liked to eat it by himself, so he pointed the way.

"Wu Song, it's not that the old body is causing you trouble, it's just that I was eating dumplings by myself, and I thought that Tie Niu didn't know if there was anything to eat...."

"Old lady rest assured, it was Dong Chao Xue Ba who escorted Brother Li to Anping Village in the prison camp, the day before yesterday I sent seventy taels of silver, these two people are righteous people, naturally they will send some silver to Brother Li, don't worry about eating and drinking, tomorrow morning, I will go to Anping Village, and give the letter to Shi'en, he will naturally take care of Brother Li, three days later, you will be reunited with mother and son. ”

"That's best, by the way, what about Jin Lian?"

"She went to collect medicine, and it would be best if the old lady could see Brother Li with her own eyes in three days!"

The old lady was very happy to hear this, her appetite was great, and after eating the twenty dumplings, Wu Song smiled and said, "I'll go and get you twenty more." ”

"Enough, just eating and feeling sleepy and wanting to sleep. ”

That's natural, the lark put pearl powder in the dumpling filling, the pearl powder has the effect of concentrating and sleeping, the old lady has been thinking about Li Kui, where has he had a good rest in the past few days, at this moment I know that Li Kui is well, and his eyes also have a chance to regain vision, how can I be unhappy, my heart is relaxed and the effect of pearl powder is added, and fatigue strikes immediately.

"I'll pour you some water for washing your feet. ”

"Wu Song, no need, I'm very sleepy and want to sleep. ”

The old lady is used to soaking her feet before going to bed, so that she can sleep peacefully, Li Kui washing her feet is filial piety, Pan Jinlian washing her feet, she also feels embarrassed, Wu Song is a hero in the world, and it is very inappropriate to let people know that it is very inappropriate to wash the feet of the old woman, and the old lady is naturally unwilling.

Where did Wu Song think so much, Li Kui asked him to serve the old lady, he served, and it was nothing, at this moment he heard that the old lady wanted to sleep, he was even more happy, he knew that the old lady had not slept well during this time, and it was also a good thing to want to sleep at the moment.

Wu Song gently closed the door and walked out of the lobby, only to see that there were no guests in the lobby of the tavern, and several guys were closing the door.

He found Uncle Quan and said curiously: "Uncle Quan, why is the door closed so early today?"

"I don't know anything, today is the holiday, everyone has to go home, and tomorrow morning it will be back to normal. ”

"What festival is it?"

Wu Song is very curious, at this moment, the Qingming Festival has just passed, and the Dragon Boat Festival has not yet arrived for more than a month, but it is normal for all villages and villages to have their own festivals in Mengzhou Mansion.

"What festival?" Uncle Quan was stunned for a moment, and then joked: "Sleep Festival, a festival to go home and sleep." ”

Wu Song was an upright person, he didn't expect Uncle Quan to be joking with him, he thought it was true, and he couldn't help but be happy: "No wonder Skylark made dumplings today, it turned out to be a sleeping festival." ”

"Haha, before the crossing, Westerners will count sheep when they have insomnia, the pronunciation of sheep in English is similar to the pronunciation of sleeping, some so-called sleep experts say that Chinese should not sleep sheep, should count dumplings, dumplings and sleep pronunciation is the same, haha, I didn't think it was handed down from the Northern Song Dynasty. ”

Wu Song also helped close the door of the tavern, looked up at the sky, it was already Youshi, he agreed with Pan Jinlian that he would not see them come back when Youshi, so he went to look for them, so he walked to the door of the tavern.

"Uncle, where are you going?"

Skylark came out with a plate of dumplings, and when she saw that Wu Song was going out, she hurriedly shouted.

Wu Song didn't look back, and casually agreed: "I'll pick up Jin Lian and Qing'er." ”

Skylark was shocked in her heart: "If he leaves, I will have ten thousand styles and useless, do you want to give the old man in the room and not show it?"

Her heart flashed, knowing that Wu Song was hard-hearted, and there was only one reason to keep him and stop.

"Uncle, Sister Jin Lian just sent a message. ”

Wu Song had already walked more than ten steps, and suddenly heard the name of Pan Jinlian mentioned by Skylark, and immediately turned around and saluted, "Sister-in-law, what message did Jinlian come from?"

He was a little worried in his heart, Pan Jinlian would come back immediately after picking up the medicine, so why did he need to pass on any message.

"That's right, Uncle Fang Cai went to serve the old lady, and the shopkeeper of the nearby tavern came back from Mengzhou Mansion and said that his sister ordered him to send a message..."

Wu Song listened, there was no suspicion at all, he and Pan Jinlian came to Mengzhou Mansion from Tianshen Village, on Mengzhou Road, a company of ten taverns invited them to drink, called "no three but hopeful", and later knew that it was ordered by the troublesome Xiao Guan Ying, if the shopkeeper of one of the ten taverns met Pan Jinlian in Mengzhou Mansion, he would naturally recognize it.

"What message does Jin Lian have?" Wu Song hurriedly asked.

There was no doubt in Skylark's tone when she heard him, her heart was stable, and her expression was even more natural, she frowned slightly, and sighed: "Sister and Qing'er have already picked the eye-opening grass, but it's just ....."

Wu Song was stunned in his heart, thinking that something had happened to Pan Jinlian, so he hurriedly took a step forward, raised his hands, and almost grabbed the shoulders of the lark, and after a little regained his senses, he found that it was Jiang Menshen's wife in front of him, so he immediately retracted.

Skylark was displeased: "Is that slut worth your nervousness?", but then thought: "Yes, he has never tasted the taste of the old lady, so he naturally thinks that Pan Jinlian is the best, and will let you taste the taste of the hibiscus in the old lady's wine, and from then on you will disdain the women in the world." ”

"It's just that Qing'er's girl has always been careless, twisting her foot, it's really worrying, my sister asked the shopkeeper to come back to report, the two of them will come back at the end of the day, if you don't come back after the hour, it's here.... I went to my sister's township house in Yanggu County to spend the night. ”

The township in Yanggu County is Ye Kongmu's house, Wu Song knows it, where does Skylark know, but she knows that Pan Jinlian knows someone there, so she talks nonsense.

"Then I'll go to Mengzhou Mansion to pick them up, Qing'er is injured and it's inconvenient to walk. ”

Wu Song turned around to leave again, but Skylark was so anxious that he stopped in front of Wu Song with one hand, Wu Song almost bumped into her, and said suspiciously: "Sister-in-law, why is this?"

The lark has a super ability to adapt on the spot, and immediately asked, "Where is Uncle going to Mengzhou Mansion to find them?"

"By the way, where did the shopkeeper say they were?" Wu Song scratched his head and smiled.

"The shopkeeper didn't say anything, just said that they went to find the bone-setting master, Mengzhou Mansion is so big, there are dozens of bone-setting masters, you can't find it if you go, Qing'er is a ghost, will she come back with a lame leg, she will definitely ask Sister Yang to ask her for a car. ”

"Instead of running around, it's better to wait here, if it's over, they will naturally live in a friend's house, you don't have to worry, anyway, the shopkeeper brings back a message to prove that they are safe, and besides, there is no man in Happy Lin tonight ....."

When Wu Song heard this, he also thought that when he went to Mengzhou Mansion, he might not be able to meet Pan Jinlian, Mengzhou Mansion had Ye Kongmu and Tang Niu, he was not worried, but Happy Lin only had the old lady and the lark tonight, and there should indeed be a man to stay.

"Well, tonight Wu Song will drink at the door until dawn, sister-in-law can rest in peace, no one dares to come and take a look at Happy Lin more. ”

"There's Uncle Law. The lark was not in a hurry, and retreated as advance: "Uncle is going to keep vigil outside tonight, please eat dumplings first at this moment." ”

Wu Song looked at the dumplings, all of them were full, very tempting, and you were not polite, so he sat down and opened his mouth to eat.

The lark was pouring wine for him on the side, getting closer and closer, Wu Song was eating, he felt a soft and silky feeling on his left shoulder, smelling a burst of daughter's fragrance in his nose, he was slightly stunned, and looked up, the lark was standing aside and pouring wine for him, half of his body was close to his shoulder.

"Sister-in-law, you don't have to pour wine for me, you can also sit down and eat. Wu Song said hurriedly.

"Don't get in the way, the slave family is used to serving people, especially a character like an uncle, it's a blessing.... Ah.... Uncle, it's the slave family who is not careful, and the slave family wipes it for you. ”

Skylark's hand shook deliberately, and the wine spilled on the hem of Wu Song's clothes, which happened to be the position of the crotch, and she touched it with a pair of small hands like jade shoots.

"Sister-in-law, don't get in the way!"

Wu Song stood up and took off his robe directly, the lark's hand could only flutter in the air, she felt a burst of loss in her heart, and then her blood boiled, Wu Song wore tight clothes inside and looked even more magnificent.

"Uncle, do you know what day it is?"

"Sleep Festival. Wu Song said with a smile.

"Poof!" Skylark listened to it and shook her heart: "Uncle, since you know it in your heart and say it, why are you still pretending to be serious there." ”

Skylark didn't know that Uncle Quan told Wu Song that today was the Sleeping Festival, and he didn't know that Wu Song had crossed over, so he had another understanding, and thought that Wu Song deliberately made words to tease her, and he couldn't help but tremble.

"What kind of fake seriousness?" Wu Song was slightly stunned.

Skylark smiled charmingly: "You know it in your heart, and you are deliberately asking, okay, the slave family will fulfill your wish and explain it to you." ”

"I'm about to ask for advice!" Wu Song smiled slightly: "Actually, near my hometown, there is an island country, they also have this festival, every year at that time, they worship the nebuta, every household makes lanterns, and the parade on the street is very lively." ”

"Phew, you know that what the slave family said is not the same as what you said. Skylark picked up the wine bowl that Wu Song had just put down, put it to his lips, drank the few drops of wine that were left in it, shook the tip of his tongue lightly, and licked it a few times on the wine bowl, with an endless aftertaste.

Wu Song was stunned in his heart: "What is she doing here? Could it be that she is teasing me with Jin Lian again? Isn't Jin Lian still in Mengzhou? Could it be that she has already come back and hid aside." ”

"Golden Lotus!" Wu Song shouted loudly.

Skylark's face sank, and she said coquettishly: "Do you only have Pan Jinlian in your heart?"

"Naturally!" Wu Song said formally.

Skylark looked at Wu Song quietly, and his heart moved: "He is deliberately angry with me, so as to test my mind, if not, what does he say about sleeping festival, not wanting to sleep with the old lady, what else does it mean!"

"Okay, the slave family will tell you the origin of the festival. Skylark poured a bowl of wine and put it in front of Wu Song, Wu Song didn't dare to drink it, he looked around, and he didn't see Pan Jinlian, but he always thought that Pan Jinlian was hiding aside.

"Well, I'll see what you do with me. Wu Song said in his heart.

"Okay, sister-in-law, please say, I love to hear the story. ”

"This sleeping festival is actually called Dunlun Day, does my uncle know what Dunlun means?"

"I don't know, please advise my sister-in-law. ”

"Phew! People say that you Wu Songwen Tao Wuluo, how can you not know! You obviously know, but you want the slave family to say it, so that the slave family will be shy. ”

Wu Song was very strange, and said in his heart: "What Dunlun, I know London!"

He said formally: "Sister-in-law, Wu Song really doesn't know. ”

"Alright, alright, you men are like that, but you must listen to the woman herself say the shameful things, and then your heart will be happy. The lark smiled and said, "Then do you know what is the gift of Zhou Gong?"
