Chapter 21 Old Hunter and Liangjia Village
In the morning, the same cold kang, the same wild sparrows barked, and the same wind buzzed through the windows. But I don't feel bored at all, and I can't speak in my heart. If you get up early, wear the cotton-padded coat you will wear in the future, and put on the snow rabbit fur coat made by Liangmu.
Today's Liangmu got up late, and he couldn't speed up. He stamped his feet in such a hurry that he speeded up. When Rhubarb saw that they had cleaned up, he also expected something. He surrounded them behind them for fear of dropping it.
Yesterday, I prepared everything that needed to be taken away and put it in the space, as long as I was on my way early. Liang Mu said that the fastest way to Liangjia Village should also arrive in the afternoon. If it belongs to the kind of oil bottle, the speed will naturally be halved, and it will be good to arrive around dusk.
The thin snow under his feet made a babbling sound, and it became more and more crisp and happy. Just like the current mood, Liang Mu followed Ruoqi, who was as active as a bird, always smiling on his face and looked at her spoiledly, heartbroken to his heart.
I looked at the mountains and played with snow all the way, and walked quite fast, but when it was around noon, Lan Ruoqi couldn't stand it. She slowed down, and even her breathing became short and laborious.
Liang Mu was full of backpower, that is, neither fast nor slow. Seeing that she could not do it, he dragged her with his arm and reluctantly walked another journey. If she completely rested, she pinched her waist and sat on the snowdrift.
Liang Mu took out a water bag from his arms and handed it to Ruo Ying to drink. He poured it for a while. His breath eased down, but his legs became softer and softer. He insisted on walking another journey. Ruo Yingdi asked 18 times how far it was to Liangjia Village.
Liang Mu put his hand on his eyes and looked at the mountains in front of him: "This time, it's almost gone by one-third."
"Ah! One-third?" Ruo Yan didn't come up in one breath and fell to the ground and played tricks: "Liang Mu, do you think these things are all heavy on me?" In fact, I don't know whether it's heavy or not? I was walking vigorously just now, and now I'm starting to play.
Liang Mu smiled and knew what she was thinking. She squatted down and bent down, "Come on, I'll carry you."
"Hey!" Ruoqi's strength came from nowhere and rushed to his back. It was really comfortable! His legs swayed back and forth leisurely, wiping the sweat on his forehead enthusiastically from time to time, and asked, "Am I heavy?"
"It's not heavy."
"Are you tired?"
"I'm not tired."
"Fal! But I like it"
“......”
Even if it's not heavy, it's still a pile of meat. If you carry it far away, it will become a big stone. Liang Mu's footsteps will become heavier and heavier. Ruo Yu touched his little face painfully, "Liang Mu, let me down! I'm not tired."
Although Liang Mu was tired, his face was full of smiles and shook his head: "I'm not tired. It's still warm together."
"You are so kind." Ruo's little face is on his solid back, which is so warm!
The two walked and stopped like this, talking and laughing. Ruo Yan relied on Liangmu's shoulder most of the time, hugging his broad and strong shoulders, and seemed to be able to rely on him. No matter how difficult the road is in the future, it will not feel uncertain.
When he was about to get to the edge of the village, Liang Mu put Ruoqi down and sat on the roadside for a while before taking Ruoyan on the road.
This village is so small! The small one can look directly at the west of the village from the east of the village, and the small ones are only dozens of families. There are short mud houses everywhere, fences and wooden boards with sticks, and several tall straw piles. Occasionally, an old scalper walks by and makes a snorting sound. Can this be regarded as a greeting?
Let's take it!
There are also several richer brick houses, but no more than ten. I heard from Liang Mu that his ancestral house was newly built the year before last, which should be 80% new, and he also has his own small house, that is, the old hunter's hut in the southernmost part of the village, a 'new' mud house.
It can be seen from these two properties that the old hunter is not thin with Liang Mu, but he has no relatives under his knees. If he doesn't give it to Liang Mu, he really doesn't know who to give it to. The most puzzling thing is that Liang Mu has known the old hunter for so many years and doesn't know what the old hunter's name is. Where did you come from?
According to Liang Mu's words, the old hunter is a god-like figure, coming and going without a trace. As for why he can take a fancy to himself and teach what he has learned all his life, he can only say that Liang Mu is too naive and practical.
Old hunters like to cheat children. Every time they change their methods to deceive children, they are always recognized by those treacherous children and ignore him.
However, Liangmu is an abnormal number. Whether you change your method to deceive him or directly slander him, he does not refute it. He endures those who come one by one and refuses. Finally, the old hunter took him into love with him, accepted him as his adopted son and took him to Shan Middle School.
Do you think this man is stupid? He is really stupid enough to bubble. If you scoff at him every time you think about it, you will scoff at him and teach him a good lesson, but he smiles stupidly. This is the blessing of fools!
Liang Mu took Ruoyuan directly to the old hunter's house in the village. The house had been idle for more than a year and the dust was heavy. Liang Mu took out a long bench and let Ruoyan sit outside and wait. He took a broom in to clean it up.
This small courtyard is simple. In addition to the two small mud houses, there are only fences around it. There is also a small garden in the west end that can grow some vegetables. There is also a crumbling toilet behind the house, barely supported by two boards, and there is not even a door.
If you would rather solve it locally, you will not die. Be careful, like the emperor Jin Jinggong who drowned in a pit.
After a while, countless dust floated out of the open window, and it hit her nose. Ruo Yan quickly leaned back and looked around. There was no well in the yard. She asked loudly, "Is there water in Liang Mu?"
"There is a well in the middle of the village." Liang Mu shouted loudly, and then coughed violently. After a while, he was choked out, put down the broom in his hand, his face was dark, and his shoulders were covered with dust with a finger. Don't go. The bucket is too heavy. Liang Mu said and picked up the bucket and went out of the door.
Ruo Ying stood outside the door and waited for the dust inside to rest before she dared to go in. Entering the door is a stove, which is followed by a small stove behind the big stove. The stove is connected to the fire wall, the fire wall is connected to the kang, and then goes out along the chimney.
There is a kang cabinet on the kang. The kang cabinet is so small that you can put down a few quilts. The cabinet door is red lacquered wood with hollow patterns, and the middle is decorated with ceramic porcelain plates. Several large cabinets are neatly listed on the ground, all of which are antique doors. It is really inconvenient to take and put clothes.
The house has windows on both sides. Although it is a little small, it is not too well ventilated, much stronger than a window on the mountain. The ground is covered with red bricks, which have been rubbed all year round. It is not as soft as the loess, and there are some feet apart.
There is a small utility room on the west side of the small house. Now there is nothing piled up in it. When Liangmu comes back, he will put the leather and bathtub outside here. It was the cracks in the mud wall, and the whining cold wind came in through the cracks and connected to the ice.
"It's so cold!" Ruoqi trembling for no reason and hurriedly squatted at the entrance of the stove to roast the fire.
If it is warmer, you will carefully plan the house and what should be placed as your own home. Uh-huh! It should be her temporary residence! There is nothing to be criticized after settling down.
Liang Mu walked steadily into the house with two poles of water. Ruoyu hurried forward to help, reached out with a rag and inserted it into the bucket. Liang Mu reached out and pulled her, but it was not as fast as her hand. He inserted it into the water. The water was so cold that she pulled out with excitement and quickly took out her hand.
Her whole face turned cold and green, and her body seemed to be electrocuted. She began to tremble from her hands and spread all over.
Liang Mu frowned, got tired of her, and said angrily, "What a stupid girl. I can't stop her from moving fast. I'll cover you quickly." A pair of warm palms held her little hands and said, "What's the weather? How can you touch it without boiling water?"
she sucked her nose, and Ruo said firmly, "It's okay." I don't know whether she was smoked or shy. Her little face was warm red and her hands were much better. She quickly pulled back her hand and said, "You go to burn the fire. I shook the water with a ladle and poured some on the ground to eliminate dust."
"Alle." Liang Mu smiled and carried the bucket into the room.
His residual warmth remains in the palm of his hand. It's so warm! Ruo Yan smiled for no reason and trotted in to help him with his work. After a while, the cooking smoke rose in the chimney, and the black color was a little similar to the ash on the bottom of the pot.
With hot water, Liang Mu and Ruo Ying wiped them separately. Liang Mu is in charge of the kitchen. It's okay to be dirty. You have to buy some strength to pick it up. If you want to clean up the bedroom, it's easy to clean up the floating dust.
After cleaning up for a long time, it finally looks like a house. If you put things in the sundry room, you will grab the rag in his hand and carefully wipe the pot table, water tank, big pot and small pot, and you can't straighten your tired waist.
I have to say that Lan Ruohua is a capable and good woman. Who wouldn't like such a woman? Unless he is a melon seed, Lan Ruozhen lay on the hot kang and giggled.
"Is the eldest brother at home?" It was Liangtian's voice, which came from Yaoyao outside the door, with a little elegance in the softness, which was fake and disgusting. Ruoqi looked up from the window. He was looking inside. His eyes met Lan Ruoqi unexpectedly. It turned out to be a fire and he vomited to death...
Ruoyan took a hard look at him, turned her head and looked at Liang Mu in the miscellaneous room, and said hatefully, "Liang Mu, your brother is looking for you."
"Hey!" Liangmu, the stupid boy, jumped out happily.
The two exchanged a few words outside, but Liang Tian's eyes always glanced inside from time to time, and he couldn't wait for two eyes to float in. After listening to him, Liang Mu hurried in, took off his jacket and followed him out.
Ruo Ying pulled him, "What are you doing?" I'll go too."
"What are you going to do? I have something to do at home." Liang Mu said and turned around and went out. Ruoyan sat there stupidly, indescribably uncomfortable, and jumped down in pain. He had regarded him as a relative in the past few days, but he had never had this idea.
Yes! He wants to go home. He has something to do...
"Alas..." Lan Ruoqi breathed a sigh of relief, slowly got up, cleaned up the rest of the work, and went into the space to see her family.
The little pheasant grew up a lot, with a big fist, but it was still very timid. Following the pheasant couple, a pair of snow rabbits also seemed to have some movement. The male rabbit poured grass into the nest all day long, while the female rabbit did not move and accepted his service.
came to the flower field, chose a comfortable land, lay up and put your hands behind your head. The tip of your nose sucked a rare light and warm fragrance, with a tender grass in your mouth, looking at the blue sky, and there was no silent cloud.
What should I do now? Go? I don't know where I'm going. I don't even know where my home is. I'm afraid it's more difficult to go back to modern times. I don't even know how I got here. Why don't you try suicide? I'm afraid of pain. If I really die and can't go back, wouldn't it be in vain to blind God to give me another chance?
What can I do when I go back and get involved in my parents' new round of divorce competition? It is said that for her own good, in fact, she wants to compete for more of her own interests. Who has thought about her feelings?
My mother is outside, Uncle Bao. It is said that she is quite old, and my father is even more shameless to marry a new daughter-in-law, but the girl is younger than himself. However, Lan Ruojuan is in her early 20s and doesn't even have a formal job. It's not that she doesn't want to do it, but it's terrible!
With such parents, they will become the focus of being chewed wherever they go, and even many boys can't make friends. The man's parents are worried that the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, which will delay people!
After hesitating repeatedly, Ruoyu finally had a plan in her heart. When she went back, she might as well seek her own happy life here. And it must not go on like this. In modern times, I am still a petty capitalist. In ancient times, if you don't want to be rich and noble, it is still necessary to be rich, otherwise it will not erase the reputation of time travelers.
I will discuss with Liang Mu and get these herbs and handicrafts to the town to try my luck. If I meet a distinguished guest, I can earn a lot of money. At that time, if I have the capital, I'm afraid that I don't have food and clothing. At that time, if I don't have a home, I will have a home in my own place.
What's more, there is a stupid and simple Liangmu accompanying you. How cheap it is! Thinking of Liang Mu's warm smile, Ruoyan couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth. He is really good, with a good figure, burly, good personality and shyness. And he is also a completely decent gentleman. If he is a modern young man, he will eat clean with a woman around him, not to mention a tender Lori beauty.
Even for him, you should plan your own future, otherwise it will be a waste of opportunities to come here. Ruoyan figured it out, suddenly got up, slipped off the floating gray folds on her body, and went out happily. Liang Mu was injecting water into the water tank. The water tank was so big that it was not full even after three buckets of water.
Seeing Ruoying standing behind him, he didn't say anything. He felt a little strange. Although there was no change in his face, there was a trace of sadness in his eyes, which made the original deep and bright eyes more melancholy and charming.
"Hey!" Ruo touched him with her hand, "What did you do when you went home?"
"No, that is to say, about the division of land, and tomorrow I want to take you to the city to find a way to see if you can find your family." Liang Mu looked calm and his tone was calm.
Ruoyan curled her mouth and said, oh, she felt a little unhappy. She couldn't say that she was unhappy there, but it was all for her good. Thinking of the self-affeciation just now, there was no place to put her face. She was so angry that she stretched out her finger to the debris room, "Take all those things with you! You can also exchange some silver if you sell it.
"Hmm!" It's a single note, which really annoys Ruo Ying, but inexplicably cares about him, thinking what's wrong with him falling to the ground? His parents complained about him because he didn't ask at the first time? Or is there little land? Is he aggrieved, or is someone forcing him to do something? Or is it that his parents dislike her from unknown origin and unwilling to take her in?
How could something come up with her idea? The reason why Liangmu was holding back was that she didn't want her to worry. The main purpose of the family to call Liang Mu back was to split up at the beginning, but after hearing Liangtian say that Liang Mu picked up a beautiful daughter-in-law, and the old couple were happy and thought that the stupid boy was blessed. I can take my new daughter-in-law home as soon as possible.
What's the result! Liang Mu actually went around the old hunter's house. Dai had no choice but to feel aggrieved but not easy to attack. He had to order his third son Liangtian to call Liang Mu. As a result, he still didn't open his face and went home by himself. Dai and the old man were angry and discussed about the separation.
Liangmu is a filial son in a ten-mile village. Even if he doesn't give him a dime of land, he won't say a word. This time, he only gets one point of paddy fields and two points of dry fields, which is nearly enough for him to eat.
He was neither annoyed nor arguing. Seeing that his parents finished speaking, the two younger brothers nodded and agreed, and he did not say anything. "Since it was ordered by his parents, it's settled. As soon as his son came back and the house has not been cleaned up, it's time." After saying that, Liang Mu turned around and was about to leave.
He never mentioned a daughter-in-law. Dai was so angry and scolded, "You have no conscience. I worked hard to pull you to grow up. You just treat my mother and bring a daughter-in-law back without even letting us face. Do you really think she is a fairy daughter in heaven? Why don't we pick her up?"
Liang Mu turned around helplessly and knew that this matter could not be concealed. He lowered his head and explained, "Mom, that daughter is not my daughter-in-law, but I picked it up from the mountain. Don't say that, it will ruin people's whole life.
"What? Did you pick it up?" Dai was stunned. He looked at the old man with a dry cigarette bag beside him. He stood up and scolded, "Dastard old man, are you talking?"
The old man kowtowed the pipe in his hand to the edge of the kang, without picking his eyelids. "The wood is right. No matter how poor our family is, we can't go against the girl's wishes. Let's go home tomorrow! In cases where there are many dreams at night, the villagers pay attention to our inauthenticity.
"Hey!" Liang Mu had a feeling of being pardoned, and his father was the most reasonable. He couldn't help admiring him more and turned around and went out.
"What a naive! It's so pissed me off!" Dai beat his chest and feet while scolding. There were two brothers sitting on the side, but they each had their own calculations.
