Half River Autumn Moon and River Spring [Rat and Cat]

Mojiang County.

Fortunately, the place where the armored warship had an accident was not far from their destination, and after they bid farewell to the fleet, they changed to land.Ye Hong was too weak to ride a horse, so Bai Yutang bought a carriage, and then forced Zhan Zhao, who had an elbow injury, into it, and bought a bunch of delicious food to put in the carriage, for fear of starving the sick cat. with.

Zhan Zhao looked at the bandaged hand, and smiled at Ye Hong who was sitting in the same car with embarrassment: "Brother Ye is laughing, Yutang often makes a big fuss, I really can still ride a horse."

Ye Hong smiled and said, "Master Bai is a careful person. Although Lord Zhan's injury is not serious, he still needs to take care of it for a few days. Riding a horse is really not appropriate."

When he said this, Zhan Zhao had no choice but to nod, and Yan Bei who was riding a horse outside the car window smiled and said, "Young Master Ye, you are the first to say that my young master is a careful person, he is in the Jianghu... no, he In the eyes of others, that image has always been defiant, icy, and rebellious."

Ye Hong said: "This kind of thing varies from person to person."

Zhan Zhao nodded in agreement, and when he came back to his senses, he felt that there was something wrong with this statement, so he changed his sitting position and went to a corner to think.

Yan Bei outside the car window suddenly said: "Young Master Ye is right. Before meeting Lord Zhan, I really didn't know that my young master had two faces."

Zhan Zhao: "..."

Bai Yutang said: "Don't make a fuss, the cat will be embarrassed."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhan Zhao felt even more embarrassed, and wished he could sit on the roof of the car and enjoy the breeze.

The embarrassing atmosphere in the car lasted until the evening. Several people found an inn that looked clean and tidy. They planned to stay in the inn for a night. There was still a while before the meal, so there were no guests in the lobby, but the four of them hurried on their way. I haven't eaten a decent meal for a day, and I can't wait.

The shopkeeper is a thin, middle-aged man with a good appearance. The waiter is not here, so the shopkeeper greets them directly. When he heard that they want to eat right now, the shopkeeper is a little embarrassed and said: "Guest officers, we The cook at home hasn't arrived yet, why don't you sit down and drink some tea and wait for a while..."

"As the head of the house, how can we keep the guests waiting? I'll just cook and make sure the masters are satisfied with the meal."

When they looked up, they saw a chubby woman who rolled up her sleeves and smiled heartily at them. This woman had a round face and a round body. It seemed that she was living a comfortable life, with a big heart and a fat body.As soon as the shopkeeper saw the woman coming downstairs, he hurried over to hold her hand and said: "How can I make the lady tired, Ah San will come right away, I don't care about such a short time."

The woman smiled and said: "When Ah San comes, I will prepare all the dishes for the table. Don't worry, the head of the house, you don't know how I cook? Can you be worse than Ah San?"

Then she said to Zhan Bai and his party: "Masters, wait a moment, I'll serve you food right away!"

After speaking, regardless of the shopkeeper's stop, he put on a kerchief and went straight to the back kitchen to shake the spoon.

The shopkeeper muttered to the side for a while, unable to persuade them, so he had to come back and make tea for a few people. While making tea, he said: "The guest officials are very lucky, my wife's craftsmanship was also famous in Mojia when she was young Yes, she is not only beautiful, but also has excellent cooking skills, but since she married me and gave birth to twins, I was worried that she would be tired, so I stopped letting her cook."

Zhan Zhao said: "The shopkeeper has a heart, and the proprietress looks blessed."

When the shopkeeper heard Zhan Zhao boasting about his wife, he suddenly became happy: "To tell you the truth, my wife is smart, capable, beautiful and virtuous. To be able to marry her is really a blessing that I cultivated in eight lifetimes."

Yan Bei remembered the chubby look of the proprietress, and couldn't help laughing: "Shopkeeper, you are a typical beauties in the eye of the beholder."

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that Yan Bei was saying that his wife was fat. He didn't mind it, and said with a smile: "My wife was really beautiful in the past, and then she married me and gave birth to a baby." After the doll, the figure is out of shape."

Yan Bei recalled that his daughter-in-law still maintained her original figure after giving birth, and couldn't believe it: "Ah? How could it be?"

"Why not?" Seeing that there was no one in the store, the shopkeeper simply pulled up a stool and sat next to the few people and chatted, "You guys, you are still young, you don't know that this woman's childbirth is like going to hell, Needless to say, the pain during childbirth, and I have to take care of the baby while confinement. For these two dolls, my wife finished feeding this one at night, and the other started to turn her head to find milk. Waiting for the baby here to coax After that, there was a commotion again. My wife loves me so much that she doesn’t wake me up. She often stays up all night with her child. She’s in confinement. What can I do if I am sick?"

"When I woke up at night, I often saw my wife falling asleep while sitting on the bed with the child in her arms. When the child moved, she immediately woke up and patted the child to sleep. I told her to ask me to get up to help, and she said I agreed, but I didn’t actually wake me up once. I just thought about being so tired at night, so I must give her a good tonic during the day, so I gave her the best food every day, such as hen, pork knuckle, pork ribs and fresh fish soup. , I don’t repeat the same thing every day, so I have to change the drink for my wife, so I fed my wife fat..."

Yan Bei looked confused: "It turns out that raising a child is so hard. In the past when my child was born, I was always on a mission, and I was never by my wife's side. Thinking about it this way, I really owe her a lot."

Seeing Yan Bei's baby face, the shopkeeper sighed, "Young man, I didn't expect you to be so young and have children already?"

Yan Bei didn't have the nerve to explain that he was already 37, so he had to take a sip of tea.

Bai Yutang scalded Zhan Zhao's tableware with tea, and said, "When I go back and scold my brother, it's not human."

Just as Zhan Zhao wanted to drink tea from his own teacup, Bai Yutang replaced it with a cup he had just ironed. Zhan Zhao didn't mind it when he got used to it, and just drank it as usual after changing the cup.

After Ye Hong saw it, he suddenly became thoughtful. He somehow felt that this scene was a little familiar. It seemed that someone had ironed his cup in the past. He was used to drinking water from the cup...

He couldn't see that person's face clearly, and couldn't remember that person's name, but whenever he thought of such a person, he felt chills all over his body and his heart constricted, as if something was about to come out, and he was pressed to death forcibly. In my head, it's so uncomfortable.

When Ye Hong was in awe, the shopkeeper had already chatted with Yan Bei: "Since my wife has become fat, those good neighbors have rumored that I despise my bloated wife and want to abandon my wife and son. Fortunately, my family The lady is a sensible person, and never pays attention to the gossip of these wicked neighbors..."

Yan Bei frowned and said, "Why do they slander you so much? It's no good for them if your husband and wife don't get along?"

The shopkeeper spoke excitedly, and even patted the table a few times: "It's not that there is no benefit at all, but those ordinary people just don't want you to have a good time. They wish that your family is unhappy and your wife is separated, so they like to base their happiness on other people's happiness." On top of the pain, gossiping every day about the family’s short stories, to put it bluntly, is idle! I’m afraid the world will not be chaotic!”

Yan Bei vigorously nodded in agreement.

Then the shopkeeper sighed and said: "They will never understand, how can someone who I cherish so much be disgusted by the other person's appearance change? It's too late to feel distressed!"

As soon as the shopkeeper finished speaking, the inner kitchen called out, "Officer, come and help deliver the dishes!" The shopkeeper hurriedly wiped the corners of his eyes in response, then got up and said, "I just talked a little too much, let a few The guest officer made a joke, my wife is quick, I will serve the dishes right away, you guys wait a moment, come right away!"

After the shopkeeper left, the four of them were speechless for a moment. Yan Bei was about to say something when he suddenly realized that something was wrong with Ye Hong beside him. This Mr. Ye had been staring at the direction where the shopkeeper was leaving, as if he was alive or absent. He waved his hand in front of Ye Hong and asked, "What did Mr. Ye remember?"

Ye Hong came back to his senses, paused for a moment before shaking his head: "I don't know, I seem to remember something, but I don't seem to remember anything..."

Yan Bei said: "Could it be that what the shopkeeper said just now reminded the young master of his first wife?"

"Jiefa...wife?" Ye Hong looked at Yanbei in a daze, and suddenly thought of a poem:

The knot is a husband and wife, and there is no doubt about love.

Life should come back, and death should be Sauvignon Blanc.

He inadvertently murmured the poem, and Zhan Zhao listened to it, and said, "This poem about leaving a wife is a love poem written by Su Wu and Su Ziqing to his wife before he went to the Xiongnu. It's just that no one expected it. Once he went there, he was trapped for 19 years. For 19 years, everything has changed. The Xiongnu Shanyu who ordered him to be trapped passed away, and the new emperor of the Han Dynasty has ascended the throne. When Su Gong left, he was still in his prime. White hair hanging down the temples..."

When Yan Bei heard the words, he hurriedly asked: "Isn't it Mr. Ye that you also separated from your wife?"

Ye Hong looked at Yan Bei blankly, wanted to refute, but didn't know where to start, so he shook his head in the end, and repeated those few words: "I...don't know."

The shopkeeper brought delicious food from the back kitchen, and said while setting it up: "The guests are slow to use, and there are some hard dishes that take a little effort, my wife wants you to try these few special dishes of hers first. "

The four of them nodded and began to eat. After tasting it, the taste was really good. It wiped away the fatigue of the journey, so they praised the proprietress again, and the shopkeeper was so happy that he immediately took out his own food. Privately stored good wine to entertain a few people.

"Shopkeeper, how long have you been here?"

"Almost ten years."

"Then I'll ask you about someone," Yan Bei gestured with his fingers on the table, "Ye Hong, do you know this person?"

"Ye Hong?" The shopkeeper frowned, "Don't tell me it sounds so familiar, I'll ask the waiter of my store when he comes later, this kid is well-informed and knows a lot of people!"

Yan Bei nodded, then pointed at Ye Hong and said, "Master, take a look at my brother, he is also from your place, does he look familiar?"

The shopkeeper looked Ye Hong up and down: "I don't know, but this guest officer, how can you be so thin at a young age?"

Ye Hong said: "Not long ago, I suffered from a serious illness, and my body has suffered so much."

There was a burst of regret from the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper didn't find out about Ye Hong, so Yan Bei changed the subject again: "Boss, do you know Grave Village?"

The shopkeeper's hand froze: "I know, I know, it's just that some guest officials asked what Grave Village is doing?"

"Oh, our boss wants to come here to do business, so let's explore the road first. We heard the name 'Grave Village' on the way here and found it very strange. I heard that Grave Village is in Mojiao County, so I was curious. Ask."

The shopkeeper let out a meaningful "Oh", and then he hesitated to say: "This grave village is not very auspicious..."
