Chapter 031: Gentle and Compassionate
Tianxing and Zhou Liang wanted to send darts to Lin'an, and Li Sheng and Yu Zhaoxing also went to Lin'an to find Hong Qigong, and everyone happily walked together. Since leaving Zhumadian, there were no waves all the way, several people bought horses to travel, and after more than ten days, they crossed the Qiantang River and came to the outskirts of Lin'an.
At this moment, it is noon, the heat is in full bloom, although Tianxing has martial arts, but they are also very tired all the way, but they see a bend of water in the distance by the river, around seventeen or eighteen families. Li Sheng said: "There is a village in front of us, let's rest here for a while." "All should be.
When I arrived in the village, I found that this place was a little dilapidated, and I saw a dilapidated wine curtain picked out at the east end of the village, which seemed to be a hotel. When the three of them came to the front of the store, they saw that there were only three or five thatched huts in the shop, and there were two board tables under the eaves, and there were dishes and chopsticks on the tables. Zhou Liang said loudly: "Shopkeeper, there is a visitor." ”
The owner of the small hotel, however, was a cripple, holding two crutches, slowly walked out of the house, and said, "What do the guest officers want?"
Tianxing said "arrogantly": "Two catties of cooked beef, a pot of daughter red!"
The cripple shopkeeper said: "In the countryside, only meat is sold in the second and sixteenth squares of the first month, and that daughter is red and can only be drunk in the city, and I ask the guest to forgive me." ”
When Tianxing heard this, he said helplessly: "Then forget it, just have a few side dishes, two pots of wine!"
The shopkeeper limped and slowly brought two pots of rice wine, and put out a plate of broad beans, a plate of salted peanuts, a plate of dried tofu, and three more
The salted egg that was cut and sat on the bench at the door by itself. The shopkeeper looked at him as if he was only in his thirties, but he was hunched and bent, and his sideburns were white, and when he looked at him from behind, he looked like an old man.
Tianxing asked, "This shopkeeper, I don't know what this place is called?"
The shopkeeper only looked at the winding path, but did not look at the three of them, and said: "This is Niujia Village, and the guest officer is afraid that he has never heard of it." ”
"Niujia Village! Which Niujia Village is it?" Tianxing was shocked, it was Guo Jing Yang Kang's hometown.
"This is a Niujia village near Lin'an, and I don't know about other places. ”
Li Shengqi said: "Brother Xue, does this Niujia Village have anything to do with you, why are you so surprised?"
Tianxing shook his head: "I have a friend from Niujia Village, but he is no longer here. "Guo Jing is still far away in the desert, this is Niujia Village, and there will be no waves.
Li Sheng saw that Tianxing stopped talking, and he didn't ask any more questions. And they were eating and drinking for a while, and suddenly a little girl came to the west.
This girl is not very old, only eleven or twelve years old, and she looks very cute with pink carved jade, and her clothes are bright and bright, and she is made of fine silk. The girl ran straight to the front of the shop, saw the shopkeeper sitting at the door, and shouted crisply, "Daddy, I'm back!" The shopkeeper turned around, saw that his daughter also showed a smile, and picked her up.
Tianxing and several people were stunned, they didn't want this sloppy store to have such a beautiful and lovely daughter, they were really envious of others.
Yu Zhaoxing said: "Uncle Shi, when I saw this girl, I remembered another little girl, we still owe others kindness." ”
Li Sheng nodded slightly: "Yes, this place is not far from Nahetang Village, we can just go and see her." ”
Zhou Liang said with a smile: "Old Li, I don't know what kind of girl you owe both of you, can she also have the same martial arts as Xue Shao?"
Li Sheng said: "That's not possible, the little girl doesn't know martial arts, but she has the grace of life for the two of us." Once, my uncle and nephew were chased and killed by the enemy, and they were seriously injured and fled to Hetang Village, but thanks to the rescue of the little girl, we survived. ”
Yu Zhaoxing continued: "We are just stinky flowers, but the little girl does not dislike us at all and takes good care of us. How can I wait without thanking him. ”
Tianxingdao: "It's indeed a good girl, why don't I wait and have a look?"
Zhou Liang laughed and said: "Xue Shao, you are a young talent, and that girl is also a strange woman, wouldn't it be wonderful if Xue Shao married her?"
Li Sheng frowned and said, "Brother Zhou, Hugh is talking nonsense, the girl is only eleven or twelve years old, how can we blaspheme!"
"Don't dare, don't dare, my old Zhou has no door, Li Lao spares his life!" Zhou Liang hurriedly begged for mercy.
Tianxing said: "Uncle Li is not strange, Lao Zhou is used to talking nonsense, spare him this time! Uncle Li, I don't know what that girl is called?"
Li Sheng said: "The girl's surname is Mu, called Nian Ci!"
......
When everyone entered Hetang Village, they noticed a girl in green clothes, only to see that she had bright eyes and bright teeth, and her face was good, and the girl's family background should not be good, the blue clothes were slightly pale, and she was still holding a wooden basin in her hand, which was a clean wash, and her hair was also a little messy, sticking to her forehead full of sweat.
Li Sheng and Yu Zhaoxing were all overjoyed, and said loudly: "Miss Mu, the old beggar is here to disturb again!"
The girl in Tsing Yi also smiled like a flower when she saw Li Sheng and the others, and said in surprise: "Senior Li, Senior Yu, why are you here!"
Tianxing was attracted by this gentle woman at a glance, she is strong by nature, but Mu Nianci, who has a lifetime of misery, is obviously so kind and gentle, infatuated and tenacious, but she is jealous and blushing! At this time, Mu Nianci is independent of the reckless, like the first bloom of the Qinglian, at a young age, but she has a refined temperament, I don't know how amazing she will be when she grows up.
"Our uncle and nephew happened to come to Lin'an, so I came to visit you!" Li Sheng said, dismounted and walked over quickly.
"Senior Li, these are ......" Mu Nianci looked at Tianxing and Zhou Liang.
"My name is Zhou Liang, and the girl calls me Old Zhou!" Zhou Liang took the lead.
"I've seen Senior Zhou. Mu Nianci bowed, and Zhou Liang hurriedly returned the salute.
Tianxing also walked over, took the wooden basin with his hand, and then said: "My name is Xue Tianxing, and I have admired the girl's name for a long time!"
Mu Nianci's face turned red, and he wanted to go back to the wooden basin but couldn't say it, and he couldn't help but say after listening to Tianxing's ridicule: "Brother Xue is serious, how can the little girl have a big name." ”
Tianxing told the truth, he had heard this name for more than thirty years, and he finally saw the real person today. Tianxing said: "Uncle Li told us your name, and I admired it tightly in my heart. If you don't see you for a day, it's like every other autumn, and it's not wrong for me to look up to you for a long time. ”
They walked together to the village, and came to a small courtyard, except for three thatched huts, which were fenced with bamboo and firewood. Several people entered the house, and saw that it was cleaned up neatly, but there were many people and the room was small, and it was a little crowded.
Zhou Liang said: "Old Li, why don't we talk in the courtyard, this room is smaller." ”
Mu Nianci's face was slightly red: "The house is simple, and I have neglected a few people." ”
Tianxingdao: "Aren't we all poor families like this, not as good as the official master's high-rise compound, our bamboo fence hut, living in the mountains, isn't it also a great pleasure?"
Mu Nianci smiled gratefully, moved the table and stool from the house, and poured water for everyone with teapots and bowls.
Li Sheng said: "Miss Mu, has Brother Mu gone out to perform again?"
Mu Nianci said: "Yes, my father-in-law went out before dawn and came back at night." It's just that in such a small place, you can't make a lot of money. ”
Li Sheng sighed: "Brother Mu should go to Lin'an Mansion, and there will be more people who reward them like that." ”
Mu Nianci said: "Father-in-law Lin'an is a lot of troubles, maybe he will provoke the powerful family, and the gains will outweigh the losses." ”
Tianxingxin said, Yang Tiexin, he should be afraid that he would be recognized by the government when he went to Lin'an!
