Above the treetops, Li'er said happily: "Pot, look, there's smoke there!"
”"Well, that's probably cooking.""
In the stories told by the pots, many people are very hospitable, so we might as well go and see them."
The corners of Li'er's mouth showed a touch of crystal."
Well......
Good. ”From a commanding point in view, the village is in full view.Thatched and wooden huts are built along the river, almost connected, and together with the sparkling surface of the river, they form a golden dragon that meanders and flows.Surrounded by green trees, there are small bridges and flowing water, and the sound of chickens and dogs barking is staggered, which is really a vibrant pastoral scene.Liu Ming and Li'er landed lightly and walked towards the entrance of the village step by step.Woof!
Woof!
Woof!
The barking of dogs gradually intensified, and at first glance, there were seven or eight dogs in this village.Not long after, three young men in brown linen clothes walked out with an old man.The old man was dressed in brown, his beard was white, his face was full of wrinkles from wind and frost, and he was on crutches, and his steps were quite steady.Although the old man was old, his eyes were not cloudy, he smiled and said: "The contemptible person is the village chief of the village, and the distinguished guest has come from afar, is he going to enter the village to rest?"
”Li'er's big eyes blinked, she thought about it but didn't understand what it meant, and couldn't help but look sideways at Liu Ming."
That's right, it's been a little tired along the way."
Liu Ming put his right hand on Li'er's shoulder and smiled."
If you don't dislike it, it's better to go to the old man's house to rest."
The village chief pointed to the hut not far away.The old man looked very hospitable, his face was kind, his words were very sincere, and he seemed very hospitable, but the young villagers around him were still a little wary."
That's fine, I'm sorry to disturb the old man."
After speaking, Liu Ming and Li'er followed behind the village chief and slowly walked into the village.She would also grin when she looked around and saw the little boys with snot on their faces full of curiosity.The reason why the village chief is the village chief may be because of his age and prestige, after all, judging from his family's house, it is actually not much different from the thatched houses of other villagers.As soon as I entered the house, a faint light smoke came to my face, and the source of the smoke was an old woman who was stir-frying vegetables with a wooden spatula.Seeing Liu Ming and Li'er coming in, the hunchbacked grandmother stopped her movements and asked, "Old man, are there guests coming?"
”The village chief smiled with a cane: "Yes, yes, two distinguished guests, this is my wife." ”"Have you eaten yet, if not, why don't you eat with us."
The grandmother was also very enthusiastic.Li'er looked left and right curiously, sniffed a few more times, and finally stared at the clear green vegetables in the pot, and couldn't help but say: "Grandpa, grandma, why don't you eat meat, I see that many people have chickens." ”The village chief was stunned for a moment, then looked at the old grandmother who was also stunned, and he laughed heartily: "That's right, wife, the guests are here, we can't be too shabby, I'll stir-fry, you go kill an old hen." ”The old woman grinned, revealing her leaky front teeth, and she handed the wooden shovel to the old man, and was about to go to slaughter the chicken.Liu Ming rubbed Li'er's head, then waved his hand, and said, "Old man, you are too polite, we only finished eating the mushroom and chicken porridge in the morning, and we really don't need to kill the chicken anymore." ”The old grandmother responded repeatedly, she first pushed the firewood, and then took back the wooden shovel in the village chief's hand to continue stir-frying.The village chief smiled slightly awkwardly and invited Liu Ming and Li'er into the hall.It didn't take long to talk.The old grandmother walked in with a pot of rice and a large plate of unpretentious fried vegetables.She enthusiastically helped Liu Ming and Li'er fill a bowl of rice, as if she was afraid that the two of them would be hungry.The village chief sandwiched a green vegetable, ate it with relish, and kept praising his wife's good craftsmanship.The old grandmother also accepted it humbly, and she began to persuade Liu Ming and Li'er not to be polite, it doesn't matter if the dishes are finished, she can fry them again.Eating green vegetables without a little oil and water, Liu Ming secretly said that this life is really too simple and unpretentious.Li'er is also very well-behaved, and she finished a whole bowl of rice with green vegetables.However, no matter how much the old grandmother persuaded her, Li'er said that she was full."
Grandpa, grandpa."
A little boy of five or six years old ran in, he glanced at Liu Ming curiously, and then focused his eyes on Li'er.Her jet-black and shiny hair, her big watery eyes sparkling, and her pink carvings look like a perfect little princess.After cultivating divine skills and eating well, Li'er has begun to look like a beautiful embryo that captivates the country and the city."
Hug, hug."
The little boy opened his arms and wanted to hug him.Li'er pointed her index finger at her little mouth, thought for a while, and said, "Little brother, my sister will take you out to play." ”After saying that, he took the lead and walked out of the hall.The little boy staggered after him, and didn't even turn his head to answer when the old grandmother told him not to run around.Meal.The old woman hadn't even washed the dishes, so she hurried out.The village chief smiled and said, "Don't be surprised, my wife is old, but she is in a hurry." ”Liu Ming also smiled and said, "It's okay." ”"By the way, Childe, I see that you and the little girl have come from afar, and your clothes seem to be spotless, and I don't know why?
Of course, if it's inconvenient to say, I'll be an old man, haha. ”The village chief is meticulous and experienced, after all, he himself is a person who has traveled long distances, crossing mountains and mountains, trekking through mountains and rivers, his clothes will be more or less dusty, and his shoes will be stained with yellow mud.And Liu Ming and Li'er, their clothes and shoes are like new.Liu Ming said lightly: "It's nothing, we are just a little more powerful in martial arts." ”"Oh?
I would venture to ask, how powerful?
”The old village chief's eyes lit up, as if he saw hope."
Hahaha, the old man asked me this question.Well......, let's put it this way, you can kill ten cows at will. ”The old village chief trembled and asked hopefully, "Childe, the truth?"
”"Yes, the truth.""
Great!"
The old village elder was overjoyed, and then he sighed.Liu Ming said lightly: "Old village chief, but what can I say directly." ”The old village chief frowned, and after a long time, he said slowly: "Childe, that's the case, our village has always been free from the world, and it can be self-sufficient in normal times, and life is also plain and happy. ”"A few years ago, behind our village, there was a forest called the Wild Boar Forest, where there were more than a dozen wild boars, and they would come out from time to time to eat our food.""
However, there are also a lot of young adults in our village, and sometimes they can set traps to catch a wild boar, so this situation of winning and losing is quite passable.""
But, about two years ago, everything changed, and for some reason there was only one wild boar left in the wild boar forest, which we thought was a good thing, but suddenly one day, it broke into Zhu Ping's house and killed his entire family.""
We also thought about revenge, but this pig seems to have become a sperm, not only has rough skin and thick meat, but also avoids traps, and a year ago, this pig also ate a lot, and our chickens, ducks and geese were also poisoned by him.""
Since then, our lives have plummeted, and we can't even eat a few bites of meat."
