It was the 61st year of the military calendar, early summer.

Since the opening of the official road in the previous dynasty, the old road to the east of Luchao City has gradually been abandoned.Over the past few decades, the cottages along the route have gradually been emptied, leaving only a few scattered small villages.Hanshan Village is one of them. It was originally located in a remote place, and it was not exposed to the prosperity of the old road, so it didn't care about its decline.

Moreover, this place is excellent, with fertile fields and clear water, and simple folk customs.In the distance, there are clouds and misty peaks, and Wu Yanshui is indistinct in front of you.Green pagoda trees and tall willows along the road, red apricots and plum blossoms at the village head.

The rosy clouds reflect the blue sky, the sky is getting late, and the villagers working in the fields are returning home one after another.They joked and greeted each other, talking about trivial things about their parents.And so on, day after day, year after year.

The tiger was lying on the tree, seeing the adults from a distance, and rushed down to the valley, waving and shouting: "Come back! Everyone, let's go home!"

Maotou boy and braided girls, when they saw him from a distance, they started to clean up.Hearing his shout, they encouraged each other a few words, and each left separately.

Huzi wiped the sweat from his forehead, took the basket from his younger sister Lihua, and the two siblings walked back together.Seeing him running flushed, Li Hua said distressedly: "Brother, you got a muscle just yesterday, are you alright?"

"Stand still."

Seeing Lihua standing obediently, Huzi immediately raised his leg and kicked her over the top of the head.Lihua smiled and clapped her hands.

Hu Zi proudly said: "It's not that Yang'er is crazy, good morning. In one night, your brother and I will be first-class heroes again."

Li Hua's eyes were filled with joy, and she nodded heavily: "Brother, you are the best!"

Huzi raised his chin, tilted his back, and asked, "Why does it seem to be heavier today? Have you studied hard?"

Lihua hurriedly said: "Mother said yesterday that the third master's family didn't have enough pigweed, so let me harvest more. I have learned a lot, so I remember it. I will teach you tonight."

"it is good!"

The two brothers and sisters faced the setting sun, and the shadows on the ground were thin and long.

Huzi's home is at the far west of the village. The original owner moved to Jianye City, and sold it to his family at a cheap price.A family of three lived in four rooms, which were very spacious.Some chickens and ducks are raised in the yard, and the daily expenses are bought by Hu Ziniang weaving white rice.

The weather is good, and the days are passable.

"Mom, we're back!"

Hu Ziniang came out of the kitchen, and when she saw the two children coming back, she immediately smiled and said, "Okay, let's get ready for dinner, today we cooked peas and pickles."

Lihua likes to eat peas the most, so she said happily: "Have you got peas?"

Seeing that her daughter was happy, Hu Ziniang quickly responded: "Ah, this year's head is turning, it's sweet. You put down the pigweed and wash your face. Seeing the sweat on your face, are you looking for the crazy old man again?"

Huzi put the pig grass basket in the corner, winked at his sister, and hurriedly argued, "No, Lihua and I played in the field."

Hu Ziniang snorted, turned her head and went into the kitchen to serve the dishes, and said in her mouth: "Don't be foolish, I know all about it. You skinny monkeys, how much did it cost Zheng Erxiao's crutch to break? All the scalpers have been sold!"

Zheng Erxiao is Huzi's friend, how could Huzi not know.He rubbed his face, took the plate from his mother's hand, and said perfunctorily, "Enen, I know it. Oh, it smells so good. Lihua, my mother's handicraft is the best!"

Lihua was moving the stool, she nodded upon hearing this: "Yeah!"

Hu Ziniang took out the bowls and chopsticks from the small cupboard, and spat at the two of them: "Talk me some nonsense to coax me, and you listen to me? The old saying is good, poor and rich. How many furniture do you have?" ? Ah, you have real gold and silver to invite your master to enter the martial arts gym?"

Huzi lifted the pot, and the aroma of rice overflowed immediately.He licked his lips, and tentatively said: "Mother, it's different now, you can get ahead if you have martial arts! Our teacher...cough, it doesn't cost money."

Hu Ziniang glared at her son, picked up the bamboo shovel, and taught while serving the porridge, "Old man Feng's boxing skills? Don't scare you, it's all monkey tricks!"

Lihua poked her head outside the kitchen, and whispered: "Master Feng can shake eighteen sword flowers with one move, I've counted them! Just a few pokes will poke several holes in the tree."

"My silly girl." Hu Ziniang handed the porridge bowl to her son, closed the lid of the pot, and walked to the main room with the pear blossoms in her arms, "A true martial arts hero, he shakes eighty sword flowers, you can't help but feel like you are doing it!" I can't see one clearly. I can't help poking, poking, and the tree will fall down with one move."

Li Hua's eyes sparkled, but Hu Zi had his own thoughts. He tentatively asked, "Mother, can I learn real martial arts? Go to Luchao City, or build Ye City!"

Hu Ziniang raised her hand and slapped him on the back of the head.He moved the stool and sat down, and scolded: "Dinner, don't let me get confused. You don't have any oil or water in your stomach, can you handle that iron bump? Tomorrow, I will ask the village chief to find Master Niu. At the door Cultivate half an acre of land, and you can plant crops for me! I think you are too idle, you bastards, if you want Master Niu to hear the news, the whole village has to follow..."

"Excuse me, is anyone there?"

Huzi was scolded by his mother, and his head was lowered under the table.Suddenly someone called the door, stood up suddenly, and said loudly: "There is someone! Mom, let me go and take a look." Saying this, he ran out.

Hu Ziniang was suddenly interrupted, she was holding her chopsticks at a loss, when she heard her son shouting outside: "Mother! Someone is coming! Come out!"

Hu Ziniang frowned and put down her chopsticks, and said in her mouth, "Come on, it's like howling like a ghost." As she walked out, she still didn't forget to complain to her daughter: "Look at your brother's sudden surprise, which martial arts school can see that?" on him."

As Hu Ziniang was talking, she was taken aback when she saw Lihua.She followed her daughter's gaze and was immediately surprised.

Qin Gutong led the horse, with bright starry eyes and a gentle smile, he said loudly: "Sister-in-law, we pass by here and want to stay overnight. I wonder if it is convenient?"

"Convenient and convenient! It's very convenient." Seeing the two of them, Hu Ziniang hurriedly greeted, "Come in, come in. Huzi, help lead the horse. Oh, no wonder the magpies are calling today, what a distinguished guest!"

Huzi quickly agreed, and eagerly stepped forward to lead the horse: "Sister, your horse is so tall, it's bigger than Zheng Erxiao's cattle!"

Qin Gutong and Xiao Qingqian drove eastward for half a day, as it was getting late, looking for smoke from the kitchen, they came to find a family to stay overnight.Seeing that the inside and outside of Huzi's house was neat and tidy, he knocked on the door and asked questions. He didn't expect Huzi's family to be so enthusiastic.

She heard Huzi compare a cow to a horse, and asked with a smile, "Really?"

Huzi followed her, nodding repeatedly: "Well, that's because the second leg is broken. His father sold the cattle to Liujia..."

Hu Ziniang heard him talking nonsense, she glared at him and said, "What are you talking about? Why don't you say that old man Feng cheated on drinking. Go to the east room and roll your bedding to the west room."

Qin Gutong tied the horse to the stone mill and was unloading his luggage. Hearing this, he hurriedly stopped him: "No need. Sister-in-law, we will only stay for one night and leave tomorrow. Don't bother."

Hu Ziniang waved her hands again and again, overjoyed: "If you want it, it's our first visitor. Lihua, go and wash that asparagus. Oh, I don't have enough rice! I'll cook some more. Lihua, can you come again?" See if there are any eggs in the nest."

Qin Gutong saw that the three members of Huzi's family disappeared in a blink of an eye, and only Xiao Qingqian and himself were left in the yard, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I feel like I'm not staying overnight, but returning home after a long absence."

Xiao Qing smiled and praised: "Embracing simplicity and simplicity, the ancient style still exists."

Qin Gutong nodded, unwrapped the luggage, took off the saddle bridle, patted the horse and said, "You guys can take a rest for the night."

Huzi and Lihua had already made their beds and stood by the door waiting for them.

Qin Gutong carried the luggage in and saw that the bed was clean and tidy.Turning around, he smiled at the two children, "Thank you so much for not letting us sit on the ground, and doing it so well."

Lihua blushed and shrank behind Huzi.Huzi puffed out his chest, stood up straight, and stammered, "No, it's not troublesome... you, it's that, your... your guests!" Go ahead, drag Li Hua and run out.

Seeing this, Qin Gutong was surprised, turned his head to look at Xiao Qingqian blankly, and asked innocently, "I'm so scary?"

Xiao Qingqian laughed, lowered her head to arrange her luggage, and said after a while: "Ah Tong is very popular among young and old."

Qin Gutong raised his head when he heard the words, blurted out, and asked with a smile: "Can Zhao Qingqian like it?"

Xiao Qing smiled and said nothing, Qin Gutong felt unwilling, and was about to ask.Huzi poked his head in from outside the house, leaned against the wall, and watched timidly with his eyes.

Qin Gutong raised his eyebrows, took out an oiled paper bag, and handed it to him.

Huzi grinned at her, then shrank back abruptly, retreating outside the house.After a while, he slowly appeared by the door.

Qin Gutong knew that he rarely saw outsiders, so he was shy.Huzi didn't grow up in the mountains and forests, so he doesn't know why he is shy and afraid.Nor is it the son of the village lord, Luo Yi who has seen the world on a long journey.

He was a real ordinary country boy.

Qin Gutong took two steps forward, handed the oiled paper bag to his hand, and said softly: "Go, give it to your mother." Seeing that Hu Zi didn't pick it up, she stuffed it into his hand, raised her voice and ordered with a smile: "Go quickly!" !"

With jerky, dinner is richer.

Buddha bean pickles, asparagus jerky, shredded pork with vegetables, pea sprouts and egg drop soup.

Xiao Qingqian picked up a buddha bean and chewed it.Tender and fragrant, very delicious.Seeing her expression, Qin Gutong knew that she was satisfied, so he also picked up a grain, looked at it, and asked, "What is this?"

Huzi and Lihua were very surprised to see that she didn't know her.Hu Ziniang said with a smile: "This? We call it Hudou, and we eat it in the countryside. This bean is easy to grow old. You should fry it when it is tender, and stew it with fennel when it is old."

Qin Gutong grew up in Sichuan and Chongqing, and had never seen Hudou before.

Xiao Qingqian saw that she ate a few pills in a row, and smiled slightly: "This thing comes from the Western Regions. It is planted in autumn and collected in spring, with abundant grains and lush seedlings. It is also called Buddha beans. Dian is also known as the Buddhist country."

As soon as she finished speaking, Huzi's family was filled with emotion.

"So that's how it came about!"

"The girl knows so much."

Qin Gutong and You Rongyan, smiling, picked up another grain and put it into their mouths.
