Washing powder [Comprehensive martial arts]

The desert is bitterly cold, and the yellow sand is long.

Yu Man trekked alone in the fields in early autumn. She came to Mongolia to search for people. She searched in the south and north for more than a year, but she still found nothing, and she was also worried.

After walking for a few days, the ground under her feet was damp and the vegetation gradually increased. Yu Man saw a thatched hut in front of her, and flocks of sheep gathered outside the hut, so she wanted to go there to ask for hot food.

A little boy about five or six years old, with bushy eyebrows, big eyes, and tiger head, was playing in front of the hut with a small bow and arrow, and the shepherd dog was bouncing around beside him.He found a stranger approaching, stopped drawing the bow, and stared blankly at Yu Man.

Yu Man smiled at him, "Son, is your adult there?"

The boy just nodded without saying a word, his appearance was very simple and honest.

Yu Man glanced at the hut and explained to the boy why he came.The boy turned around and ran into the house. After a while, he took out a bone-in cooked mutton and handed it to Yu Man.

After thanking him, Yu Man took the mutton and sat down on the floor to eat.The mutton was probably only salted when it was cooked, and it had a strong fishy smell, but for Yu Man, there was nothing to be picky about, as long as it was hot, it would be good.

The boy stopped playing, sat down beside Yu Man, and looked at her with his face up.

Yu Man smiled and led him to talk, "What's your name?"

It's a bit strange that adults don't show up at home, but it's nothing to be curious about.She talked about the child and taught him to express her gratitude.

"Guo Jing."

Hearing this, Yu Man's complexion changed, she was stunned for a moment, she didn't care about eating the meat, she got up and asked the boy anxiously, "Is your mother Li Ping?"

The boy's reaction was a little slow, and he was stunned for a moment before showing a surprised expression and nodded.

Yu Man was overjoyed, pulled Guo Jing and walked quickly to the hut, "Is your mother inside? I'll go see her."

She went north to search for people, traveled all over Mongolia, and found Li Ping and Guo Jing's mother and son.

Guo Jing grabbed her and said seriously: "Mother is sick, don't bother her."

When Yu Man heard this, she immediately suppressed the joy on her face, and her expression became serious.Just now when Guo Jing entered the room, she should have reported to the adults. She vaguely heard a woman speaking, speaking intermittently, as if she was very weak.

She rushed into the thatched hut, and seeing the woman with a sick face on the bed, she couldn't help calling out: "Sister Guo."

The last time she was called "Sister-in-law Guo" was five years ago. Li Ping slowly opened her eyes and looked at the person with difficulty.

She was taken aback, thinking that she was sick and dizzy, and her eyes were dazzled, "Xi, Xi weak girl?"

The visitor was actually the daughter of a scholar from her hometown, and her sister from the same village, Bao Xiruo, who was always close to her.

Li Ping grabbed Yu Man's hand and murmured excitedly, "You are here, you are here..."

Excited, the expression was wrong. Li Ping never expected that an old fellow from her hometown would come here to rescue their mother and child. What she wanted to express was that there was someone who could be counted on.

Li Ping had a strong heart. Her husband died tragically, and she was exiled in a bitter cold place. She gave birth to a son and raised her alone. She went through such a tragic experience, but she was rarely seen crying.Reunited with Yu Man today, she couldn't stop crying.

She and her son depended on each other for life, and after two or three years, life was a little easier.But the good times didn't last long, and she, who had always been physically strong, fell ill unexpectedly.

Recently, she became more ill, and often dreamed of the dead Guo Xiaotian, feeling more and more that her time was numbered.She was worried that after her death, her young son would have no livelihood and would live in anxiety all day long.

Yu Man felt sad, and also shed tears.She was reborn in the home of a private school teacher in Niujia Village, named Bao Xiruo. She lost her mother when she was young and her father when she was young. Guo Xiaotian, his wife and Yang Tiexin from the same village felt sorry for her loneliness and took good care of her.

Because Yang Tiexin was interested in her, Li Ping came forward to say goodbye, Yu Man felt embarrassed and hid.She said she was going on a trip, but in fact she found a place to retreat and practice kung fu. Three years later, when Yu Man returned to Niujia Village, she found out that something happened to the Guo and Yang families not long after she left.

Yang Tiexin hadn't married a wife yet, and Yu Man, as Bao Xiruo, hadn't even saved a rabbit, let alone a human being, so she couldn't deduce whether the reality was as written in the book, and there was something hidden behind the tragedy.

On the surface, several corpses were dug up behind the houses of Guo and Yang's family. The government ordered the arrest of the rebels, executed Guo and Yang on the spot, and exiled Guo Xiaotian's wife, Li Ping.

Yu Man followed the path of exile and searched all the way north, but the clue was broken when he arrived in Hebei.In desperation, she had no choice but to take the plot of the original book as a clue, and went to Mongolia to search for it.

"Jing'er." Li Ping called her son to him, "This is Bao's aunt, a friend of my parents."

Meeting a fellow countryman in a foreign country is like seeing a relative, not to mention that they are very close to each other.

Guo Jing called "Auntie" and was about to kneel down and kowtow, but Yu Man hurriedly helped him up, saying "I've grown so big" and so on.

Li Ping pushed Guo Jing away, held Yu Man's hand tightly, and begged Yu Man to take Guo Jing back to her hometown after her death, and just give her a way to survive.

"Xi weak girl, I just ask you to leave it to the Guo family for the sake of past affection..."

"Sister-in-law Guo." Yu Man interrupted Li Ping with an accentuated tone, and looked at her with disapproval, "Don't be discouraged, when you recover from illness, we will return to Lin'an together."

She took Li Ping's pulse and came to a very pessimistic conclusion.

Li Ping took the pills that Yu Man gave her to nourish her heart, asked Yu Man to take care of Guo Jing again, and then closed her eyes and fell asleep.

The next day, Guo Jing woke up early, got up with a grunt, dressed himself, and went out to tend the cattle and sheep.

Seeing this, Yu Man couldn't lie down anymore, so she got up and lit a fire to cook food.The grain in the cloth bag had run out, so she thought about waiting for a while to finish her breakfast and go to the nearby market to buy some grain.

"Pity the weak girl..." Li Ping coughed in the bedroom.

Yu Man ran in to see her, Li Ping pointed to the cabinet under her feet, and said, "If you are free, go to the market and help me exchange those few felts for food."

Weaving fabrics is also one of the sources of livelihood. During this time, as long as she has a little energy, she will weave felts on the sickbed.

Yu Man wanted to say that if she kept the felt, she would just use the money to buy the food, but then she thought about it, the real things here are practical, if buying food, the little money in her hand might not be better than these few felts, so she nodded in agreement.

Counting a total of five felts, I folded them neatly and wrapped them up.

"Jing'er is going to herd the sheep, you don't need to worry about him," Li Ping said again.

Yu Man was taken aback, and praised sincerely: "Our Jing'er is really amazing."

After breakfast, Yu Man saw that Li Ping was drowsy with half-closed eyes, so she didn't bother her, and went out with Guo Jing with a package containing blankets.

Guo Jing opened the sheepfold, waited for the sheep to go out, pointed the direction of the market to Yu Man, and described the approximate location.

"Thirty miles?" Yu Man exclaimed in surprise.

The nearest bazaar is thirty miles away, sixty miles to and fro, and it will take more than half a day to ride a horse. If you don't leave early, I'm afraid it will be dark when you come back.

Guo Jing sent Yu Man a distance, and then the two separated, one went to the fertile grass, and the other ran to the distant market.

....................

In the afternoon, Yu Man successfully got the food and hurried back.

A large group of people gathered outside the thatched hut, and flags and flags were waving in the sky, and it was unknown which tribe the soldiers were from.The sheep are in the pen, Guo Jing should have returned.

Yu Man took off the knife at his waist and held it in his hand, slowed down and drove the horse to a trot, approaching the hut from another direction.

The team seemed to be ready to leave. Some people noticed Yu Man, but they didn't make any moves.

Yu Man tightened the reins, intending to stop the horse step by step. Suddenly, a man rushed out from the slanting spurs, passing by like a gust of wind.

This time was not good, Yu Man's horse was frightened, its front hooves flew into the air, pulled its neck and neighed, and then ran wildly.Yu Man couldn't control it, so she had to let the horse run amok, and after a while, she was jolted to the ground and exclaimed continuously.

what to do?Let's jump the horse, although it may be a bit embarrassing, but it's better than throwing up on the horse's back, Yu Man thought so.

At this moment, a man in black caught up from behind, grabbed the bridle, put all his weight on it, and turned left vigorously.

The horse struggled a few times, then slowly calmed down and was subdued.Yu Man waited until the horse's back was stable, and the first thing she did was to dismount. She got off the horse in a slippery way, and took two steps as if she was drunk. When she looked up, she found that the horse had been crazy for a long time, and finally sent her back.

There was a stone on the ground that tripped Yu Man, she just fell to the ground easily, helping the golden star in front of the first class to scatter away, causing others to laugh.
