Mirror: Twin Cities - Chapter 30

In his tone, he asked: “Have you ever eaten today?”

When the woman heard her husband ask her, she laughed with joy, and said as she wiped her tears: “Never Zeng Miles! You have not opened the pot for two days after you got out of the door yesterday, where did the food come from!”

Yang Gongquan said in surprise: “Why don’t you go to Aunt Gu’s house next door to borrow some rice to cook?”

“Where do you feel embarrassed to go?” The woman wiped her eyes and smiled bitterly. “I borrowed a liter a few days ago, but I haven’t paid it back once. I saw you on weekdays. Even if they don’t remind me, my face is still hot.”

The woman stood up, walked under the stove, brought out a broken bowl, and put it on the table. There was a jujube cake in it: “The day before yesterday, the Chen family added a fat son to the east side of the house. He shared the cake with the neighbors in the shop—I I’m afraid that you will have an empty stomach when you go out, so I will keep it for you until now, I’m afraid it will be a bit rotten.”

“Old lady,” Yang Gongquan grabbed a corner and tasted it. As expected, he was already rotten and the corners of his eyes were wet, “I have suffered you.”

The woman wiped her eyes and forced a smile: “Where have you been these few days? How did you give birth to this baby? It made me worry at home for fear of you having trouble.”

“I thought about it, I really couldn’t find any way, so I wanted to try my luck on the snow-capped mountains over Tianque and dig snow poppies.” Yang Gongquan told the old lady about what he had encountered in the past two days. , Sighed, “When the group of officers and soldiers finally went down the mountain, they couldn’t help but say they were going to kill us, and a few people were scattered. Fortunately, it was dark at that time, and I was familiar with the roads in Tianque Mountain again, crawling and rolling to find a secluded path. Come to the mountain-I don’t know what happened to Young Master Murong and the others.”

“Oh! No wonder people in the village today said that many people from the government came to seal the mountain, and all those who came from the mountain were killed, and the corpse capital was piled up on the road.” The woman was terrified when she heard it, paled, and hit him with her head. “Devil! How did you get there? Don’t let it go? If the government knows about it, you have to catch and decapitate!”

“If you don’t fight your life, where can you get this baby?” Yang Gongquan smiled, and put the Scutellaria barbata into his wife’s hands. “You are good to live and harvest. Find a time to go to town and sell it, then buy a house and land, and live your life well. .”

The woman was so overjoyed that she hurriedly took the kerchief carefully and said, “I’m so hungry! Old man, are you hungry too? Wait for me to get some wine and vegetables and have a good meal.”

“Aunt Gu is still lending you rice?” Yang Gongquan smiled, “I can tell at a glance that he is a master who has come in or out.”

The woman pressed the Yao Cao she held in her arms, and sipped: “My old lady has the treasure now, so I’m afraid I can’t borrow it? They will come and ask us to borrow money tomorrow!” out.

Yang Gongquan watched the woman go out, sat alone with his knees folded, and shrank his head in the air leakage. He regretted again in his heart, and felt that he shouldn’t give the Yaocao to his wife in this way. Unbearable hunger, tossing and turning on the couch.

Suddenly there was a rustling sound outside the window. At first he thought it was the wind blowing the window paper, but the sound went all the way to the door and then stopped. Could it be that the gangster knew that there was a strange treasure at home, so he touched it so quickly? Yang Gongquan was startled in horror, and pricked his ears on the couch to listen to the movement outside. I only heard that someone outside was talking in a low voice.

“It should be here.” A young man’s voice said.

“Have you remembered correctly?” It was a woman who retorted, “You can find his house in the dark by just looking at it? In case it is wrong, if someone finds out that we are from the Tianque side today, we will Trouble!”

“Shhh…” the young man asked the other party to lower his voice and said, “Let’s take a look first.”

Then Yang Gongquan only listened to the footsteps of the two and moved under the window. After he understood who it was, he couldn’t help but laugh secretly. There was a soft sound under the window, a line opened, and four eyes lined up to look in. The light in the room was dim, and before the two of them could see clearly, the window suddenly creaked open. The Sheng screamed, causing the yellow dog next door to bark.

“Hush, come in!” Yang Gongquan wanted to scare the two of them, but was bluffed by the Sheng, and hurriedly went to open the door.

Murong Xiu pulled Na Sheng into the door. Yang Gongquan looked around and found that he did not disturb the neighbors. He immediately closed the door, and looked at the two from head to toe under the lamp. He was surprised and delighted: “Mr Murong, how do you escape? Coming down? It made me worry for a long time for nothing!”

“We hid on the mountain until it was dark, and the wooden slave went back to find Gui Ji, and Gui Ji asked the lovebirds to send us down the mountain.” Murong Xiu was also tired, but he was still calm in responding, “Fortunately, you still remember the day, buddy. The location of the house that I pointed out, touched the dark and pulled the girl Sheng, and rushed over – trouble Brother Yang.”

“Where is the word, where is the word.” Yang Gongquan rubbed his hands and laughed, hurriedly letting the two of them in. “There is no Master Murong, I was killed by a robber on the Tianque and cheated by a beast!-By the way, Gongzijiang Mao What’s wrong with Miss?”

“I ran away and didn’t see them.” Na Sheng sighed, thinking about the uncomfortable.

“The Sheng girl is not sad, maybe they are lucky, and they are already out of danger at this time.” Yang Gongquan saw that there was no longevity in the house, so he could only scoop two bowls of water and come over. Just wait.”

However, with exhaustion, Murong Xiu expressed his gratitude, then took it and drank it in one breath.

Na Sheng sat in a daze, knowing that Yang Gongquan’s words were only comforting: Maojiang and Murong were not as familiar with the terrain as they and Murong were able to get help from Guiji, nor were they as familiar with the terrain as Yang Gongquan. It is extremely difficult. She has no affection for Mao Jiangfeng, but for that Miss Jiang Chupei, perhaps because of the same fate, thinking that she had survived the ravaged by robbers for the rest of her life, and the cloud was close at hand but could not escape her life, she couldn’t help but shed tears.

“What’s the matter?” Murong Xiu drank the water and took a sigh of relief. He suddenly cried when he saw that Sheng who was so careless all the way, he looked over in surprise.

“Ms. Jiang’s life is really bitter.” Na Sheng wiped his tears, his eyes red.

Murongxiu didn’t expect that this Dongba girl was sad for a stranger she met on a road. When she remembered the situation when she rushed forward and used her body to fend off Jiang Chupei’s arrows, she couldn’t help but glance at Na Sheng a few more times.

“Oh, a woman’s life is hard, mostly because she followed the wrong man – you didn’t see the sorrow of the scholar who was taken by the robbers along the way!” Yang Gongquan followed with a sigh, looking at the pair of young men and women who were servants in front of him. , Smiled, “Why is there someone like that girl Sheng who has vision and entrusted Mr. Murong to Mr. Murong?”

Na Sheng was drinking water and almost choked on hearing these words, but when he looked at Murong Xiu, his face turned slightly red, and he laughed in his heart. But the pitiful and shy Murong Xiu immediately made a big red face and waved his hands again and again: “Brother Yang, it’s not…”

Before he could say a word, the three people in the room fell silent immediately after hearing the door knocking outside.

“Devil! Why close the door? The old lady is full of things, how can I open it?” The woman outside shouted, kicking the door with her feet, “It’s so heavy, come open the door!”

“Maybe, it’s the old lady who is back.” Yang Gongquan breathed a sigh of relief, said to Erren, and went up and opened the door.

The woman stepped in the door and babbled to herself, and saw her: she was holding a bucket of rice in her left hand, a piece of cooked beef and a few offal was placed on the rice, and a pot of wine in her right hand, and she was still holding one. The clucking hen.

“Old lady, how do you buy so much?” Yang Gongquan closed the door, and when he looked back and saw the woman like this, he stayed and blurted out.

“Old man, these two are…” The woman looked at the two uninvited guests in the room, surprised.

“Oh, old lady, these are the young Master Murong and the Sheng girl I just told you!” Yang Gongquan hurried over to introduce him, “But my lifesaver, otherwise my life would have been on the Tianque! – this is my home. Old lady, her maiden name is Huang.”

The two sides were introduced, and I saw them separately. Huang put down the stuff in his hands and smiled on his face: “The two are distinguished guests! Sit down, just bought something, and when I cook, I cut it and brought it up— Old man, you accompany the guests to speak.” Yang Gongquan got used to his promises, so he could not help but agreed, and sat and talked with the two of them. Huang moved to the back stove to chop vegetables without mentioning.

When I was young, I prepared it, and Na Sheng helped bring it up, and a table filled with it, with four people sitting around and holding chopsticks. All of them were so hungry that they couldn’t take care of the politeness, so they ate their heads, and when they were almost eating, they exhaled and poured the wine. Huang gave him a cup of Murong Xiu to save his husband. He smiled and asked, “The son is from Zhongzhou, but he is going to Yecheng to do business?”

Murong Xiu nodded: “Xiao Ke brought some goods, ready to sell some in Zezhiguo, and then went to Yecheng.”

“So, I will stay for a few more days. In these few days outside, even if they want to kill the guests from the east of Tianque, the two of the sons still avoid the limelight before going on the road.” Huang’s speech is smart, and he is diligent in keeping guests. If I live in my family, I can also repay my son’s life-saving grace.”

“So, thank you very much.” Murong Xiu hurriedly pulled Na Sheng’s sleeves with his hands, and the two thanked them together.

Soon after eating, Huang asked her husband to clean up the dishes, and went down to tidy up a room that had not been used for many years. There was only one set of bedding at home, and it was not easy to go out to let people know that someone was coming, so he had to put him in his room. He took the broken mattress and put it on the shop, and came out to meditate to Murong: “There are only two rooms, and the bedding is also broken, which made both of you laugh at it-I will stay overnight and buy a new one tomorrow.”

“What?” Na Sheng didn’t look at the broken quilt, jumped up, and pointed at Murong Xiu, “You want me to live with him all night?”

“Why… aren’t these two young couples?” After all, Huang didn’t know the details. He only heard that the two came from Zhongzhou together, and they weren’t like brothers and sisters, so he guessed.

“
