The Sweet Little Fulang

Lu Gu had to count the dry food and the clothes he was going to bring every day to see if he had brought everything in his bag, for fear that something might fall.

Early in the morning, their group was waiting at the town entrance. The horse team came from Fenggu Town and wanted to pass by.

Soon after the fall, the weather is neither cold nor hot, and the sun is not too bright in the morning, so the wait is not so hard.

Lu Gu looked at Fenggu Town, then turned to look at Shen Xuanqing. If he should be warned, he had already said that on the way here, dry food is a bag, and clothes are in another bag. wash.

Last night, he also sewed close-fitting cloth pockets into several of Shen Xuanqing's clothes, so that he could hide money.

"Big brother and Yanyan are both here, don't worry, I'll be back in two months." Shen Xuanqing hugged Brother Ling, watching him with a nervous smile and comforting.

Xiao Lingjun was too young to understand what the adults were worried about, so he lowered his head and played with the pair of silver bracelets on his wrist.

"Yeah." Lu Gu agreed, but he wasn't too worried at home, there were family members.

He glanced at Shen Xuanqing's waist again, the bamboo tube and the leather bag for the water were all hung up. In their Yuqing Mansion City, it was fine. There was a big river along the way, and there was little water after walking far, so it was okay to not eat for a day or two. , water is indispensable.

After a long time, the horse team carrying goods was seen from a distance.

Right now, we are heading north. There are few horses, and there are two cars pulled by people. There are goods in the cars. Unless we are in a hurry, most people will leave.

Shen Xuanqing spent money to let him pull a car of furs back from the north. It was agreed early on that he was not the **** hired by the horse team. Luo Biao had already explained to him that if he didn't want to leave, no one in the car would say anything. what.

However, together with Luo Biao, he was not tired when he was just on the road. Even Boss Qiu was leading the carriage at the front. When he stayed on the more spacious official road, the horse team would be faster.

A man who can run to the north has good leg strength and is used to rushing on the road.

"Okay, let's go back." When the horse team arrived, Shen Xuanqing gave the child to Lu Gu and said goodbye to the family.

Because they were all nearby, Boss Qiu greeted them, but the horse team didn't stop and moved forward first. There were 20 to 30 days to go on the road. If you want to come back before the early winter, you have to hurry up.

"Mother, I'm leaving, you all go home." After Shen Xuanqing and Luo Biao finished speaking, they followed behind with the last car.

He looked back again, glanced at Lu Gu and the child, and smiled as a sign of consolation. Those star eyes were as bright as ever, and then he never looked back.

Wei Lanxiang lowered her head and wiped away her tears. Lu Gu felt equally uncomfortable, but he didn't shed any tears, his throat was slightly choked, and he was unable to speak.

"Father."

Ling Ge'er watched Dad walk away, but he didn't take him and Eminem, and suddenly realized something and wanted to find Shen Xuanqing, but Lu Gu didn't move while holding him, and the child burst into tears.

"Let's go, go home with Eminem, Daddy will be back in a few days." He walked back with Brother Ling, his voice was slightly crying, afraid that the child would cry more and more when he watched Shen Xuanqing walk away, and he was also afraid of himself. I can't help it, such a big person, why are you crying? Shen Xuanqing is worried.

Wei Lanxiang wiped her tears and said, "Let's go, Grandma will also go back with our brother Ling."

"Let's go." Shen Yaoqing sighed in his heart and said to Shen Yuping and Shen Yan.

Ji Qiuyue hugged Zhaoer next to her, who knew that the more Linger cried, the louder Zhaoer was crying.

"Second uncle came back, just came back, what to cry, he's three years old, he's grown up." She wiped her tears before coaxing her son.

When she got married, Shen Xuanqing was only fifteen, a half-year-old boy, and she and Shen Yan all day long shouted with her sister-in-law, she came to deliver it today, how could she feel so good.

Speaking of which, Lingge'er will be two years old by the end of August, but Shen Xuanqing will not be able to catch up with this year's birthday. For this, he bought a pair of silver bracelets for his son a few days ago. They are small and fit well.

After returning home, Lu Gu coaxed him for a while, but Linger stopped crying.

Originally said to have lunch today and then go back, but Wei Lanxiang has no appetite, thinking that there is still so much work at home, came over yesterday and gave Shen Shunwang the key to let the door open, so that Ge Chunsheng can come in, and Shen Yuping also has to go back to work, After a few people cleaned up, Shen Yuping drove the mule cart away.

Shen Yan and Shen Yaoqing stayed in the town, one looking after the butcher shop and the other accompanying Lu Gu.

Originally, Ji Qiuyue and Zhao'er came here, but Wei Lanxiang asked her youngest daughter to come and live in the town for a while, so that she could see the world and see how the people in the town lived, so she would not be timid when she married into the Gu family. emboldened.

The old lady has spoken like this, how can Ji Qiuyue compete with her sister? It’s okay to think about it. The daughter’s family in the countryside has seen little of the world, so she will go to Jixing Town first to know the way.

With Shen Yan here, they can help Linggeer. They only have one child, so it's easier for them to come here than Zhaoer.

The two children were fighting together, one chasing the other, and the adults had to watch closely from behind, so it was quite tiring to run after them for a while.

"Let's go, my aunt will bring you some fruit to eat." Shen Yan led Linger with wet eyelashes to the main room.

Lu Gu was packing in the west wing. When he got up early and left, Luo Biao rolled up the bedding and stuffed his clothes into the box. After walking for several months, he couldn't leave it outside to fall ashes.

Although the mattress had been exposed to the sun a few days ago, he came in to take a look, but he took it out to dry it. It would be cleaner if it was exposed to the sun.

He swept the floor and turned the tea bowl on the table upside down, otherwise dust would accumulate.

Shen Xuanqing's quilt was also drying in the courtyard. The east wing was paved for Shen Yaoqing yesterday. There are two rooms in the upper north room. He and Linger still live in the main room. .

There were only these few rooms in the house, and there were people in the east and west wing rooms. Shen Yan could only live in the north room.

When he came out of the west wing, Lu Gu leaned his broom against the wall. Usually he didn't feel anything, but today he felt that the house was quite big and empty.

Shen Yaoqing went to the butcher's shop, while Shen Yan and Ling Ge'er were eating and talking in the main room.

The good boy who was lying in the yard basking in the sun got up and rubbed his legs while wagging his tail, whimpering.

He rubbed the dog's head, sighed and thought to himself, Shen Xuanqing will be back in two months, so he felt a little more relieved, and there was no longer something choking in his throat, he smiled and went to get a big bone for the good boy to eat.

In autumn, the loach and fish are fat, and the cargo ships at the dock unload the crabs from the south one by one. Ordinary people can't afford it.

Unlike in his hometown, there are no fishing nets in the house, and there is no free time for fishing. Sometimes Lu Gu and Shen Yan go to the river to buy fish, and when they are free, he will take Linggeer around the pier.

The child had never eaten crabs. He stood on the bridge and looked down at the things on the boat. The crabs looked strange. Brother Ling did not know that they were eaten.

This morning, the two of them came back from buying vegetables, Lu Gu hugged Brother Ling, Shen Yan carried the bamboo basket, and walked to Pearl Alley while joking. Just happened to come across.

Gu Chengyue had a basket in his left hand and a small wine jar in his right. When he saw Shen Yan, his eyes lit up a little, and he walked forward with a smile.

"Brother Guzi." He followed Shen Yan and said, "Chenghua was going to play by the river the day before yesterday. I took him and Huier to dig some loach, and it was kept in clear water for two days. There is still a jar at home. Osmanthus wine, it is autumn, and I will give you a taste."

Since Shen Yan lived in the town, he was getting closer and closer. He wanted to run here every day. Fortunately, he was rational and restrained. He was not married yet. cause gossip.

Seeing his smiling face, Lu Gu didn't reject the kindness. He bent his eyebrows and said, "Okay, let's go in together and have a cup of tea."

"Yeah." Gu Chengyue nodded and became more and more happy.

Because outside, Shen Yan didn't speak, but after seeing Gu Chengyue, her clear almond eyes also lit up, showing a slightly shy smile.

After returning, the courtyard door was wide open. Lu Gu put two baskets and a jar of wine into the kitchen, and glanced at the two people sitting at the stone table outside. He smiled quietly, packed vegetables and loach in the kitchen, and did not go out.

Ling Geer was picked up by Shen Yan and placed on the stone bench. He ate a piece of cake in his hand. He was ignorant and cute. He looked at his aunt and his little uncle who often came to their house. No one said anything. He laughed to himself. This made both Shen Yan and Gu Chengyue laugh.

"You drink tea." Shen Yan poured a cup of tea, but she didn't take it, she reached out and gently pushed towards Gu Chengyue.

The reason for this, both of them knew very well, the first Shen Yan handed him the tea, and accidentally touched his hand. Both of them are people who keep their own feet. move.

"Okay." Gu Chengyue smiled even more. He took a sip of tea and sat here with nothing to do. He wanted to stay for a while, so he smiled and said, "The loach is slippery, why don't I kill it, you two have to take care of the children, Save your hands."

Without waiting for Shen Yan to say anything, he has already rolled up his sleeves.

The uncle was attentive, and the courtyard door was open again in the daytime. Not afraid of attracting gossip, Lu Gu went with him.

Gu Chengyue had something to do at home. It was only half the morning after killing the loach, and he didn't stay for dinner. When he left, Lu Gu caught him a fat rabbit in the backyard and asked him to take it back to eat. The rabbit also became fat in autumn.

After being a little polite, after Shen Yan persuaded, Gu Chengyue didn't refuse again and left with the rabbit.

The Gu family often comes to deliver things, and their family does not have the habit of eating others for free. Sometimes they give rabbits, sometimes chickens and ducks, or some mountain goods.

After sending Gu Chengyue away, Lu Gu smiled and said, "I'll do it at dinner time. When the big brother comes back, let's also taste a little sweet-scented osmanthus wine. If we feel dizzy after drinking it, we'll fall asleep at night. We're not afraid of delaying things."

"Yeah." Shen Yan nodded, the smile on her face still lingering.

Loach fat, sweet-scented sweet-scented osmanthus wine, and the autumn breeze in the evening, they had a drink at home, and farther away, the sunset was about to set, and the horse team had not yet crossed the mountain, and found a gentle open place to stop.

The fire was lit, and the people who were on duty at night were divided, and the rest of the people rolled out their blankets and slept on the spot.

When the sun went down completely, there was only fire in the woods.

Twenty to thirty men, this mountain is used by various caravans to walk, and there are generally no beasts nearby. If they really come, everyone will bring a big knife, and they will be able to fight.

Luo Biao was on duty tonight. Shen Xuanqing was lying on the ground with his arms on his back and couldn't sleep. He simply sat up and drank and ate dry food with Luo Biao. Yep.

He was so drunk that the man named Zhao Zhi was full of nonsense, saying that he had fought a bad fish in the river, my good fellow, the fish was bigger than a man, and almost overturned his boat.

When Luo Biao heard it, they spat on the ground and scolded him for bragging. He didn't even know how to swim, and even ran to catch fish, which was full of nonsense.

Zhao Zhi was not convinced, he swore and swore that half of the fish bones were in his house, and said that he could swim originally, but that time, he was so scared that he would never swim again.

When he rambled while drinking and talking, and at the end his tongue grew bigger, he knew that he was drunk. If he hadn't leaned against the tree, he might have fallen over.

Qiu Laosan snatched the wine bag from Zhao Zhi's hand and scolded: "Let's watch the night and drink to refresh one's mind. I have to drink it like death. If you are left alone, I'm afraid that the jackal will come and you won't know. These people have to die here."

Zhao Zhi was scolded but didn't reply. He sat there and laughed, looking like a drunk.

When the others saw this, they all put down the wine bags in their hands. It was no joke to watch the night in the mountains. After drinking this for a while, their bodies also warmed up.

The yellow soup was poured too much, Zhao Zhi panicked, he helped the tree to stand up, disregarding the people in front of him, he was about to take off his pants to pee.

"I'm going to sleep." Shen Xuanqing drank some wine, got sleepy after walking for a day, smiled and said to Luo Biao.

He was on the road for half a month, and sometimes he brought a bow and arrow when crossing the wild or mountain forest. He would beat one or two rabbits to satisfy his cravings. If you are willing to come to the horse team to do things, you don't have to do chores such as pulling carts to see the goods, just take care of a few subordinates.

Because of the old and the young in the family, and promised Lu Gu not to come out next year, and to take care of the shop at home, he can only say that he has seen the world this time, and he has not considered anything else.

Before he got up and walked to the bed, the man in front of the fire continued to brag. Shen Xuanqing's ears moved slightly, and suddenly he heard a movement from the depths of the woods. He was too familiar with the sound, it was an arrow.

"Someone!" He scolded, turned to look into the darkness, his eyes changed.

He often runs in the mountains, fights foxes in autumn and often sleeps in the forest at night. Naturally, his eyesight and ears are not comparable to those of ordinary people.

"what!"

Even the man who was sleeping and snoring got up, took out the hidden knife from the carriage, and held it tightly in his hand to be alert.

Amidst the noise, Shen Xuanqing heard a muffled groan from behind the forest. There was only Zhao Zhi who was going to relieve him. Before he could go to see it, there were several black arrow feathers shot, and someone fell to the ground immediately. .

Someone hurriedly hid behind a tree with a torch. In the dark night, the fire reflected the hiding place, which was almost a living target.

Boss Qiu has been traveling all over the world for so many years. When he saw that several people died, he immediately shouted, "Throw the torches!"

The person hiding in the dark heard his voice and shot an arrow. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and avoided the arrow.

Someone kicked the ground to put out the fire, and at the same time as the flames faded, he could clearly see that the arrowheads inserted on the ground were pitch-black, as if they had been poisoned, and a cold sweat broke out on his back.

The horses neighed and struggled, the fire was not completely extinguished by the soil, and a few torches that were thrown away were still burning. When they settled down, they had dealt with the vicinity, and they were afraid that they would fall asleep at night, the fire spread and burned the mountain, and they ran away It didn't fall, so there were no weeds and leaves around, only the muddy ground, and the fire light gradually weakened.

The person hit by the arrow fell to the ground, struggling and exhaling, but after a while, there was no movement at all.

Shen Xuanqing quickly took out the bow and arrow, and put the long knife on his back. , without making many breathing sounds, holding his breath to identify the direction of the black arrow.
