Their home lives in the middle of the mountain. It is made of large bluestone. I don't know how long it has been. Some of them have been cracked, and they have been blocked with smaller stones and wooden boards, with traces of vicissitudes.
At this time, after midday, there was no smoke in the stone house, and only a girl about the same age as Qin Lanshang was washing clothes outside. There was a small pool at the back of the house, filled with clear mountain spring water, but the season was deep, and the shot was very cold. She struggled to carry a bucket of water and was about to pour it into the tub when she heard the thin man The sound of shouting, looked up, but saw the stranger, and when the force of his men was loosened, the bucket smashed down and splashed.
She probably rarely sees outsiders and is very afraid of life, so she hurriedly hid in the room, only showing her head and prying carefully. The old man tied the donkey to the tree stump, wiped the sweat from his head, and shouted, "Xiu'er, don't hide, and pour the guests a cup of hot water!"
The girl shrank back with a cry of "Ah", and soon came out with a pot of hot water and a few old bowls, but she was still timid. Seeing this girl pouring water, even his hands were shaking. Ye Fusheng winked at Qin Lanshang, but the eldest lady wore a daughter's skin in vain, and her heart was comparable to a rough man. She only squeezed out a very good consolation: "Don't be afraid, we won't eat you."
Ye Fusheng: "..."
Open your mouth to offend people and make a big death, and you don't know what the strange thing is the old master of the Hundred Ghosts, so that you can teach such a granddaughter.
"Don't be afraid of the girl, the host shouldn't be disturbed by the guest. If I cried and lost my face, it would be my fault." Seeing that the girl was so scared to cry, Ye Fusheng sighed and took it out of his arms A small red lacquered box was handed over, the corner of her mouth curled up, and she smiled: "Look at the girl's complexion. Although this rouge is clumsy, it can be supplemented by one or two. Don't let Shaohua Kong fail."
In this world, many people in the mountains and wild women can't touch the rouge gouache in their entire lives. The girl's hands shook, but they still took it. Ye Fusheng whispered a few words to her again, then turned his head and drank half a bowl with the thin man with water instead of wine, calming the atmosphere.
Qin Lanshang watched him joking and making fun, not only bluffing the two rough men and laughing, but also the shy girl from time to time weakly responding, secretly staring at her. She blinked, and suddenly she was a little worried about whether she would be interrupted when her uncle came back.
"The scholar is hungry." She suddenly said, and at the same time quietly stabbed Lu Mingyuan behind her, and almost knocked Lu Shusheng back to the ground with an elbow, who had finally gotten up.
The few people who were chatting hotly just woke up like a dream. The thin man and the girl went into the house to cook. The old man moved a small stool to continue to accompany the guests. Although Ruan Feiyu is a scholar, he is not very high-profile. He can say everything in a detailed and appropriate manner, and will not make the ignorant feel inferior or make the knower boring.
Ruan Feiyu asked: "This place is suffering and there are bandits. Why don't the elderly move out like others?"
"Go? Where do you go?" The old man sighed, sorrow and wind and frost climbed his face with this breath, stuffing every wrinkle full, "I heard people say that this world is not easy. Isn’t it the same wherever I go? Besides, most of my relatives and friends are gone, and the bones are buried here. I don’t know how many days I can live with my old bones. Sooner or later I have to go to be company, so I won’t have to worry about it."
Although this body is like fate, but the root is here, floating to the ends of the world, and there is nowhere to depend.
Ye Fusheng said: "Then the government will not take care of the bandits who are making trouble?"
"The official and bandit family, what do you care?" The old man put down the water bowl, "not to mention that the county is far from here, and the city is not flat. Those **** dare to sneak in front of the official's nose. , Even if it’s taken in, spend a little money and come out to commit a crime without pain."
Ruan Feiyu rubbed the water bowl with his fingers, and asked, "Why didn't you file a complaint? I heard that the court has amended the ordinance. People don't have to roll nails and sticks when suing officials. As long as a petition is submitted, the evidence is true. Just ask for justice."
"Master said the new method, right?" The old man raised a pair of muddy eyes. "Although the little old man has not been out of the mountain for a long time, I have also heard the traders say that some people dare to change the ancestral clan system, what seems to be... Ruan Shen promoted it."
Ruan Feiyu smiled, unable to see whether it was self-satisfaction or so, and did not smile to the bottom of his eyes, and asked faintly: "Old people also know Ruan Shen?"
A gleam flashed in the old man’s cloudy eyes, and said: "I hear people who are swearing and boasting about him. The same person speaks a lot of things. I haven't seen it with my own eyes. It’s just that the world is content with the status quo. There are many people in China, but few people who dare to make changes. He dared to change the laws and regulations of a country. He is always bold and not afraid of death."
Ruan Feiyu's smile remained unchanged: "Listening to the old man is also a talented person."
The old man coughed a few times: "I studied for a few days in my early years, but I dare not pretend to be a talent!"
"Why don't you continue to read and test your title?"
"My family is poor, how can I have more spare money?"
Lu Mingyuan suddenly interrupted and said: "Now that the new law is implemented, poor people in the family can change jobs, and they can also read and hyphenate, which is always good."
The old man glanced at him and smiled: "There is an ineffective son and a young granddaughter in the little old man's house. There is also a dead mountain on the left and right. There is no need to waste these things."
Qin Lanshang, as a daughter’s family, is least fond of being underestimated by women. She immediately looked a little ugly and said: "My grandfather, your granddaughter is young. In the future, you will have to get married and take care of things. A village woman who doesn’t know big characters and guards an empty mountain, right?"
The old man just sighed and didn't speak. Upon seeing this, Ye Fusheng turned away from the subject and said: "By the way, the heavy rain has stopped a bit until today. The old man lives in the mountains, but you should pay attention to it and beware of natural disasters."
"Officials mean walking Jiao?" The old man was startled, and said with a smile, "Don't worry about this! After so long, I heard that a walking Jiao was born more than 30 years ago, and it has been average for all these years. An'an."
Hearing this, Ye Fusheng squinted his eyes and said, "That's my unreasonable worry."
After speaking, when Ruan Feiyu had a very happy conversation with the old man, Ye Fusheng patted Qin Lanshang on the shoulder and motioned for her to walk around with him. Lu Mingyuan glanced at them and then looked at his teacher. Sit down and sit still.
They walked on the small road outside the house and gradually moved away. Qin Lanchang disliked that the mud and water had soiled her shoes, so she turned over a blue stone, bent over and squatted down, resting her cheeks with her hands, and asked: "Uncle Ye, what are you going to tell me? I'm just listening!"
This girl is a ghost, and Ye Fusheng didn't tease with her. Yu Guang glanced around, and after making sure that no one was spying, he removed the small silver pot around his waist and handed it over, saying: "Take a sip."
"What is this?"
"Things that can detoxify."
"You..." Qin Lanshang was able to see through at one point. She glanced at the room quickly, her expression dignified, "Is there a problem with these three?"
"The house is very old, but the people are very new." Ye Fusheng wrapped his arms around, "They seem to have lived near here for many years, but they don't even know that this mountainous land is unstable and prone to natural disasters, and ...He and the thin man have calluses on their hands, but the girl does not have them."
Qin Lanshang frowned: "Isn't it normal for people doing farm work to have cocoons? Besides, at my daughter's house, I always love beautiful ones."
"The cocoons produced by work are not the same as the warriors. Let's talk about farming... Oh, look at this vegetable field, which farmer would be so careless?" Ye Fusheng's eyes swept away, and he saw this piece of vegetable behind the house. Although the ground is moisturized by rain, the cabbage in the soil has already turned yellow and withered.
The mountains and wilds are not comparable to the royal farms and ice chambers. Fruits and vegetables like cabbage should be harvested and stored in autumn, but looking at the appearance of this vegetable field, it has not been taken care of for at least half a month.
Qin Lanshang's heart jumped, and he heard Ye Fusheng continue to say: "Lady Lan, you are born rich and you don't know the suffering of poor people. Not to mention the mountains, even the daughter's house in the market has been living since childhood. No matter how rough the hands are, the girl’s fingers are long and white, and only her nails are worn out, indicating that she is clearly a pair of piano hands."
Qin Lanchang gritted his teeth and said: "Is it the scourge caused by the old thief Ruan?"
"You still have to be a fast mouth at a young age, but I want to say that it's not far from ten." Ye Fusheng said lightly, "So, drink."
Qin Lanshang took a sip suspiciously and almost vomited it out. It took a long time before he swallowed the indignant drink, her face almost ashamed of him: "What the **** is this?"
"Don't be so irritable, this is a good thing." Ye Fusheng took the small silver pot over like a baby. "The medicinal wine made with the red heart snow lotus, the ordinary poison encounters it just like a mouse meets a cat. "
Red Heart Saussurea is a rare miracle medicine in the world. It has the miraculous effect of detoxification and cleansing the heart. It is not common even in Hundred Ghosts. Upon hearing this, Qin Lanshang said incredibly: "This taste is worse than bitter medicine soup, you lie to me!"
Ye Fusheng touched his nose. In fact, he didn't believe it before, but his wife could hold the fairy-like face and make things that humans can't eat.
He gave a light cough and turned the subject away: "I will cover you later, and you will let Ruan Feiyu and the nerd take a sip. Be prepared."
Qin Lanshang puzzled: "Since you know they have a problem, why not just take it?"
Ye Fusheng looked at her and sighed: "Girl, is your brain just to make yourself look taller?"
Qin Lanshang: "..."
"The four of us, the old, the weak, the sick, and the disabled have been taken up, and we don’t know what they have to do. They bravely tore our faces. It must be us who suffer."
Qin Lanchang frowned: "What should I do?"
Ye Fusheng smiled at the corners of his mouth, and his eyes slowly cooled down: "Watch the changes and lead the snake out of the cave."
