Chapter 25 My Name Is Pepper
A long team withdrew from the end of the city gate and stepped onto the official road.

"Hey~ look at those idiots, they left within a day after they arrived~"

"Isn't it good to leave? You can save a while in line for porridge."

"I saw that they seemed to have a leader, a little girl. Not long after the officer finished reading the notice, he chased after her and asked something, and now the group of people followed her away."

"When is it the girls' turn to decide, look well, there will be times when they regret it!"

There were three people squatting at the end of the clearing. Since they arrived late, they could only settle behind Shu Yingtong's meeting point.

The team happened to pass by them as they retreated.

"Father, let's follow." The young man gently tugged at the sleeve of the middle-aged man next to him.

"This... they seem to be from the same village, and they look very powerful..." The middle-aged man had a bitter face, as if he was not very willing.

"Father, what are you afraid of, you and your brother have skills!"

The little girl stretched her neck, seeing that the team was about to turn to another mountain road, she was so anxious that she immediately put on her little burden and got up to follow.

She can see that most of the hungry people are listless, only their eyes are bright!
Seeing the girl getting up, the middle-aged man had no choice but to hastily put on the big wooden box beside him, carried the big burden on his back, and stretched out his hand to push the boy next to him.

"Quick, quick, watch your sister!"

The young man got up unhurriedly, patted the dirt on his body, bent down and turned the wheelbarrow parked beside him in one direction and pushed it onto the official road.

Sunset Moonrise.

Shu Yingtong put down the bowl and walked through the crowd, standing firmly in front of the three people who fell behind, "You should not be on the way."

The little girl happily stuffed the last bite of pancake into her mouth and was about to get up to answer, when the middle-aged man raised his hand to hold her down, stood up in front of his children and cupped his hands at Shu Yingtong.

"Xiaoke's surname is Hu, from Youlong Town, Huichang County. To be honest, we..."

The man was a little embarrassed, the words swirled in his mouth a few times, and he didn't know how to admit that he just followed up with the cheek.

Shu Yingtong looked at the three of them by the moonlight.

The man is about 35 to [-], and he looks honest.The boy is sixteen or seventeen years old, with thick eyebrows, big eyes and delicate features.The little girl on the other side was blocked by the man, and she only remembered looking pretty and cute from a distance.

It wasn't long before they followed the procession that she spotted them.

This family is different from other hungry people. They dress more decently than most hungry people. They are dirty but not ragged.

Thin but not too thin.

Shu Yingtong waited for a while but didn't get the next sentence, he hesitated and sounded a little impatient.She raised her eyebrows and looked at the little girl who couldn't hold back her head poking out from behind the man.

"You said."

"Me? Okay, okay, let me tell you!"

The little girl jumped out with a smile, tucked the corners of her clothes, and cleared her throat, "My name is Pepper, and this is my father. The one next to me is my brother Hu Yang. It's me who sees the heroic appearance of the girl and everyone's spirited looks. I want to follow around!" My father had to do it!"

Zhu Yu came up with a special rice bowl, and answered the question in a daze with his chopsticks, "What are you talking about?"

Shu Yingtong looked at this little girl who was eager to show off and was somewhat nondescript, and found it generous and interesting.

"Both literate?" His gaze swept across the middle-aged man with a stiff smile and the boy who lowered his head and hid his face.

"My father has studied in a village school for one year, my brother has studied in a private school for three years, but I have not!"

"I never thought you were so loud, are you stupid!" Zhu Yu continued without thinking.

"Hee hee~ I can read too." Pepper grinned at Zhu Yu, raised his face proudly, and the two pear dimples embedded in the corners of his mouth made it more delicate.

"Craftsman?" Shu Yingtong pointed to the big wooden box next to him.

"Yes girl! My father is the best big woodworker in ten miles and eight villages! My brother is a small craftsman who has just graduated from the teacher, and the things he makes are strong and beautiful. I don't know carpentry, I can embroider, and the embroidery is very good! "

"I really know how to blow..." Zhu Yu finished drinking the mush in the bowl in one gulp, and muttered softly.

Shu Yingtong nodded, "Okay." After speaking, he turned around and left.

"Hey? Okay, what do you mean? Is this a promise or not..."

Pepper's whole body was full of heat, being poured into smoke by Shu Yingtong's faint words, he looked at Zhu Yu who had a proud face and almost wrote "ask me soon".

"Cough~" Zhu Yu cleared her throat, and felt that the bowl and chopsticks affected her prestige, she silently put her hands behind her back, "I will take care of you three from now on. My name is Zhu Yu, um, that's it."

After finishing talking, Shu Yingtong turned around and left, but the clay pot and chopsticks in his hands made his back look a little funny.

After Zhu Yu left, the villagers quietly approached her.

Pepper was surrounded by women and asked about the family situation carefully, while Hu Chunsheng and his son were pulled aside by men to help repair the cart.

"Oh, you are a poor girl. Then your father is really a man. He is both a father and a mother, and he raised you two brothers and sisters so well."

"Don't be sad, Mrs. Liu." Pepper moved her body and leaned over to hug the tear-wiping old woman affectionately, "Although I don't remember what my mother looks like, we all remember her. My mother's name is Yang , so my brother’s name is Populus euphratica.”

Pepper lowered his head and secretly raised his sleeves to wipe away his tears, and smiled when he looked up.

very nice.

No one disliked her, and no one scolded her for being a bastard who killed her own mother when she was born.

There was also a little girl of the same age who sat down and asked her what delicious and fun things to do in the town.

There was a fire burning not far away. While repairing the car, Hu Chunsheng and his son looked up at the surrounded pepper from time to time.

Seeing that she seemed to get along well with other people, she let go of her hanging heart.

Hu Chunsheng watched with relief as his daughter bowed her head to show another little girl how to do her sewing, and her eyes felt hot.

"Don't worry bro, your daughter is fine, we in Hideyoshi Village don't bully people."

Huzi dad came over with two bowls of water with a smile, handed him one bowl of water, and the other bowl to Populus euphratica.

"Thank you, thank you."

Hu Chunsheng and Hu Yang sincerely thanked each other and picked up the bowls.As soon as the water entered, they both raised their heads and looked at each other, seeing shock in the other's eyes.

Not bitter or astringent, sweet!
He bowed his head and gulped it down. After thanking him again, he picked up the tools and worked harder.

"Girl, are they reliable?" Zhu Yu whispered in Shu Yingtong's ear worriedly.

Who knows if they have any ulterior motives?
This is not a villager, and he doesn't know the details.If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't be playing prestige. I should sit down and let them explain clearly about the eighteen generations of their ancestors.

Shu Yingtong glanced at the troubled Zhu Yu, and continued to play with the pebbles on the ground, "What do you think Mrs. Yao and the others are doing?"

It is believed that these women will gather all the information about the family without telling them, these are their strengths.

They are all people who have experienced the test of life and death. None of them are stupid and sweet, and some of them are just human nature.

Defensive, but not sharp.
