The He Family Brother of Farming

Even though the famine has passed for more than a year, and the war has basically calmed down now, the area near the northern border is still a dilapidated scene, and in late autumn, it looks even more desolate and lonely.

He He and his party drove for a day, and finally saw an old and abandoned post station before it got dark, which could be used as a place to rest tonight.

The leader of the caravan is shopkeeper Liu's acquaintance from the same village, and he is as old as shopkeeper Liu. People know he is a brother.

"Uncle Liu, I'll go over there to have a look. I seem to have seen a small river there before." He He said to the leader while everyone was packing up the place where they were going to rest tonight and packing their luggage.

The person who was called Uncle Liu took the time to look up at him, then looked around and nodded and said: "Go, don't go too far, it's not safe to live in an unfamiliar place."

"Well, I'll come as soon as I go." He He took a jar conveniently, if there is really river water, just fetch some water and come back.

Uncle Liu waited until he really only stopped at a place not far away, then he turned around in peace of mind, and asked for a drink from his team members: "Everyone, be quicker, eat early and rest early, and you have to hurry tomorrow .”

"Understood, boss." Several younger people responded with smiles and dragging their voices, but the movements of their hands were not slow at all.

"You boys." Uncle Liu just laughed and cursed and ignored them. Everyone's nerves were tense during the day's journey, so let them relax now.

The process of doing business is boring and dangerous, especially in this period. A year earlier, there were bandits who were forced to flee famine everywhere on the mountain. Of course, some were real bandits. If one is not careful, not only money, but also life It's all gone, so everyone has to be more vigilant.

The speed is very fast when there are too many people, and they only stay for one night, so they only need to tidy up. Small pieces of meat were dry.

Except for a few vigilant people, the others sat around the fire, eating and chatting, and they were considered popular in this open field.

He He looked back at the camp not far away, and saw that it looked quite lively there, and probably no one would come here for the time being, so he turned back and raised his hand to untie the cloth wrapped around his head and face, folded it and put it aside On the stone, I reached down to test the temperature of the water, and as soon as I touched it, the bone-chilling cold feeling spread from my fingertips to my whole body, and I couldn't help but shivered.

Withdrew his hand abruptly, put it to his mouth and took a deep breath. He didn't expect the temperature here to be so low, but he thought that he had driven for more than two days and didn't wash his face well. He He felt itchy and uncomfortable all over his body, as if he had been thirsty for a few days and finally met a small puddle, and he was reluctant to let it go.

Gritting his teeth, he took out a small square towel from his pocket, took a deep breath and quickly soaked it in the water, enduring the biting cold and quickly washed his face and neck.Forget about your body, don’t let yourself die in such cold water in this weather, just endure it and go to the next village or small town.

Concentrating on fighting against the cold water, he didn't pay attention to the black figure approaching behind him for a moment, and when he realized something was wrong, he was already grabbed by the neck.

"If you don't want to die, don't make a sound."

Although the other party deliberately lowered his voice to warn, He He was taken aback for a moment. This voice was obviously... a child?

He Heyiyan didn't make a sound, but raised his face slightly and looked back, but because of the angle and it was already dark, he couldn't see what the other person looked like at all.

"Didn't I tell you not to move?"

Perhaps it was his little movement that caught the other party's notice, and he clasped his hand more forcefully, which made He He feel a little hard to breathe, and he also felt that something seemed to be pressing against his back.

Didn't you just keep people silent before?He He rolled his eyes and complained in his heart, but he also raised his hand to hold the opponent's hand. If he continued with such force, he might really suffocate to death.

"What the hell do you want?"

The touch in his hand made him even more convinced that the other party was still a child. His arms were not as big as his, but they were surprisingly powerful.During this journey, he heard a lot of popular science from everyone, so he also regarded the other party as a bandit.

He He is a time-conscious person, and he would not joke about his own life until he figured it out. He asked in a low voice with difficulty, and quietly grabbed the jar that had been placed by his feet with his other hand, just waiting for the opportunity to come. If you arrive, you must give the other party a jar severely.

Seeing that he was really cooperative, Xu Shi relaxed his strength a little so that it wouldn't make it so difficult for him to breathe.

After a moment of silence, the other party spoke again: "I want all the valuables on your body, as well as medicine, and...that."

The man quickly pointed at the stone, He He looked slightly sideways, and caught a silver light flashing in his peripheral vision, his heart skipped a beat, and he didn't dare to move.

"It's all right, as long as you don't hurt me, you can take everything else." He He said as he took off the small fanny pack he was carrying all the time, and handed it back, "All the valuable things on my body are in it."

The opening is an ordinary elastic band. The man took it and pulled it open with one hand to check it. With a little dim light and a touch, he immediately recognized the familiar paper inside. He nodded secretly in satisfaction, and was about to say something. Suddenly, there were shouts and footsteps behind him.

"Brother He? Are you there?"

But it turned out that Uncle Liu was worried about looking for him, and he was worried that he was busy and it might be inconvenient, so as not to be careless and abrupt, so he asked aloud from a distance, and walked over slowly.

The two fell silent at the same time, and He He felt the tense body of the other party, and quickly said in a low voice: "That's my companion." Then, without waiting for the other party's reaction, he raised his voice slightly, "Uncle Liu, I'll be fine, wait a minute."

The man did not expect that he would suddenly raise his voice and speak, the sharp weapon in his left hand was about to be sent forward, when he heard his words, and found that the footsteps behind him suddenly stopped, the movement was faster than the brain had already reacted , The left hand was retracted again.

He lowered his head and glanced at the man in a complicated manner, but unfortunately he also didn't see what the other person looked like, but it was too late for him to think so much, and warned the other party in a low voice again: "It's best not to play tricks on me, otherwise..." The sharp weapon held in his left hand touched the opponent's neck lightly, so that the opponent could feel what it was, then quickly grabbed the cloth on the stone, and then swiftly flashed into the forest, disappearing immediately .

He He stared at the direction the man was walking, rubbed his hands on his neck and secretly heaved a sigh of relief, luckily his life was saved.

At this time, there was a little fire behind him, followed by the sound of footsteps, He He was still squatting by the small river, without turning his head, because he had already recognized the sound of Liu Bo's footsteps.

"Uncle Liu, the cloth covering my head was washed away by the water."

Uncle Liu seemed to have heard something wrong before, so he hurried over fearing that something might happen to him. Seeing him squatting by the river from afar without moving, but his clothes were still complete, he felt a little relieved, and listened to him again. Hearing his voice, I immediately understood why he didn't come back and didn't look back.

"You silly boy, don't you know how to call Uncle Liu earlier? Sitting here stupidly, if something goes wrong, how can you explain to your parents?"

Holding the torch, Uncle Liu looked around first, but found nothing suspicious, and then he came to He He's side, "Don't worry, I'll come here alone, here, take the old man's hat for now, and go back to have some hot food." Warm your body, don’t really catch a cold.”

He He took the hat and put it on. Because it was too big, he almost covered his eyes with it, and it just blocked the red marks at the corners of his eyes. If you didn't look carefully at night, you wouldn't notice it.He filled a jar full and followed Liu Bo back to the camp.

"Uncle Liu, thank you." Holding the pot in one hand and straightening the hat on his head with the other, He He gratefully thanked the other party.

Uncle Liu opened the way ahead, paying attention to lighting him up, and waved his hands nonchalantly after hearing what he said: "Why are you saying these words, you are similar to my brother, and it is right to take care of you, but you should be more careful in the future , in this desolate country, who knows if there will be wild bandits popping up suddenly, so don't leave for too long in the future."

"Well, I remember."

"Do you still have cloth towels? If not, you'll come to me to get one later. It's still a long way to go. It's better not to let other people know until you find your brother, and it will save trouble."

"Yes, Uncle Liu, I will be careful. Also... let's be more alert tonight, I'm worried it's not safe."

"Don't worry, I will arrange it."

The two listened carefully and answered one by one, and soon returned to the camp. Some of them had already laid down to rest, and some were still warming up. They were people who had just returned from shifts. The hand holding the dry food waved at them as a greeting.

"Boss, little Miaozi, have you eaten yet?"

As soon as Uncle Liu came back, he also sat down by the fire. A young man hurriedly handed him a pancake, but Uncle Liu didn't hesitate to take it.He He went back to his luggage first, turned out a cloth towel and wrapped it around his head, face and neck, and then walked over with his hat in hand. The young man also gave him a pancake, and He He thanked him in a low voice.

"Little Miaozi, why are you still so afraid of the cold?" Seeing that he was still tightly wrapped, that year man couldn't help but asked with a smile.

He He first took a bite of the soft baked pancake, chewed and swallowed it, and then replied: "I can't help it, I've been afraid of the cold since I was a child... I took a bath there just now." The words were a bit vague, "Here, Take a sip of hot water to warm your body, don't wash it next time, the water is so cold now." Another person next to him handed over a bowl of hot water, and said casually, "It's difficult for you to come here with a body like this. You, your brother is lucky to have such a good brother like you."

"Yes, to be honest, sometimes I really envy your brother. If only I had such a smart and obedient brother, it's a pity that the one in my family only knows me, alas!"

"Oh, mine is too."

……

Apart from answering a sentence at the beginning, He He basically ate pancakes silently and listened to their various complaints about his brothers and sisters. He gradually felt that his body had gained strength and warmed up again. What he did not deny was that he had watched He stood quite calmly, but he didn't realize that his hands and feet were weak until he sat down.

Because everyone consciously lowered their voices, Uncle Liu didn't say anything to stop them. He and He He didn't let everyone go to rest until he and He He had finished eating. He also told them to pay more attention to vigilance, and he went to rest after making a round of inspection.

With the wall covering them, everyone had a comfortable sleep tonight, but luckily nothing happened overnight.

……

In a small village about 100 meters away, judging from the dilapidated houses and the horribly quiet surroundings, this is also an abandoned small village.

But at this moment, in an unremarkable dilapidated thatched hut, a black figure quietly leaned against the corner. If you don't look carefully, it's really hard to find that there are people here.

Suddenly, the sound of small footsteps came from far and near. The black figure was on alert at the beginning, and then relaxed when he found the thin figure that flashed in.

"Brother, I found something." There was some joy in the voice of the person who just came in.

It took a long time for Soi Ying to utter a hoarse single voice: "Mmm."

The man didn't care, he took out his things and continued on his own: "It's really lucky this time, I actually met someone with medicine and a lot of money, brother, now we will not be afraid on the road... ..."

Before he could finish speaking, the thing in his hand was suddenly snatched away.
