Fleeing the wasteland and farming: don't panic, the family's metaphysics boss

Chapter 21 Arrival in Chengyang County

The old village chief dug out a pair of new cloth shoes from the closet, which he bought for his grandson for the Chinese New Year, but the heroine saved the whole village, and as the village chief, he could definitely donate a pair of shoes.

Qingyu took off the straw sandals and put the cloth shoes on her feet. They were a little too big, but they didn't hinder her walking. She obediently said, "Thank you, Grandpa." Then she turned her head and looked at Wen Ya, "Aniang, my younger sister doesn't have any shoes either. .”

Wen Ya blinked, why did she feel a little embarrassed?
Another woman understood, and hurriedly said: "How old is the daughter of the heroine? I still have shoes at home."

Wen Ya smiled awkwardly, Zhao Qian's girl, she remembered that she was also eight years old, but she was a few months younger than Qing Yu, "Eight years old."

The woman was overjoyed, "That's about right, the heroine is waiting, I'll go get the shoes right away."

The old village head's wife poured two glasses of water for Qing Yu and Wen Ya, and then backed away.

The old village chief invited the two of them to sit down and drink water, and then began to send a thank you message on behalf of the whole village: "Thank you so much for the heroine's action tonight, and killed the big bug. The heroine didn't know anything about it, but the big bug did harm to us.

Two months ago, a big worm suddenly came to the back of the village, and it ate everyone. At first we just didn't dare to go up the mountain, but then the big worm became so bold that it came to attack the village every night.Four of our villagers have become food for the bugs. "

Speaking of this, the family members of the four people who lost their lives began to cry and choked up. Qingyu sighed in her heart. Birth, old age, sickness and death, the pain that human beings must go through, is very helpless, but there is no way.

Wen Ya waved her hands and said modestly: "It's nothing, I also came here on purpose because I heard that there was a big worm nearby, not only to help you, but also to help myself. I plan to sell that big worm to Chengyang County."

"That's right. The worm is hunted by the heroine, so it should belong to the heroine." The old village head said quickly.

The woman who went to get the shoes came back, holding two pairs of straw sandals in her hand, "I have two pairs here, both for the heroine, you can wear them interchangeably."

Wen Ya was just about to say that one pair is enough, but Qing Yu said childishly, "Do you have any spare shoes? I also want a pair for a six-year-old girl, a pair for a four-year-old boy, and a pair for a 30-year-old boy." Men wear it." She didn't know exactly how old Zhao Qian was.

Wen Ya blushed and looked at Qing Yu: You are enough.

Qing Yu hid her hands in her cuffs, took out twenty copper coins from the Xuannv Hall, and put them on the table, "It's not convenient for us to go to the town to buy them. If it's convenient for you, why don't you sell them to us?"

The old village head let out a hey, pushed the money to Qingyu, and said to Wen Ya: "The girl is clever, but don't worry about money, the grace of saving lives is greater than the sky, just a few pairs of shoes, don't worry about it .”

Then he turned around and said to the other villagers: "Whoever has suitable shoes, bring them first, and I will count them on my head." Then he said to his old woman: "Go prepare dinner and make a bed." Then he continued to say to Wen Ya: " It's getting late, so please stay here to eat and rest here tonight."

Wen Ya thanked her first, and said that her family members were still waiting by the river, and they had already eaten dinner, so they did not stay.

In this way, the village chief couldn't persuade him to stay any longer, but he asked the old woman to prepare some dry food, but was still stopped by Wen Ya.

The villagers quickly took several pairs of shoes, all of which were straw sandals, and some of them could even be seen to have been worn, apparently taken off from their own children's feet.

Qingyu was moved in his heart, although the world is chaotic, but the warmth in the world is still there, these people know how to be grateful, and there will be blessings in the future.

Wen Ya chose four pairs of shoes that were almost suitable, and then left the village holding Qingyu in one hand and the big bug in the other.But before leaving, Qingyu still put twenty copper coins on the table of the village chief's house.

After walking a certain distance, Qingyu took the big worm into the Xuannv Hall, and then the "mother and daughter" happily returned to the riverside with a few pairs of shoes.

They had been out for more than half an hour on this trip, and if they hadn't known Wen Ya's power, the others would have gone all over the mountains and plains looking for people.

The two didn't explain much, they just said that they met a village, went in and bought a few pairs of shoes, and then distributed the shoes to Zhao Qian and his three children.

The eldest child of the Zhao family took the shoes from Qingyu, and thanked her timidly. Qingyu remembered what she asked a few days ago, so she patted the eldest child's head, "Divination is not a one-day job, it takes a lot of work." It takes countless days and moons to get started, if you and I have a deep fate, you will have the opportunity to learn in the future."

When the eldest child heard this, his face flushed with a smile, and he nodded emphatically as long as he didn't blame her.

The second child is only six years old, and the third child is only four years old. These two children are still naive, but they both said thank you for taking the shoes.

Both Zhao Qian and Tong Shi were extremely grateful. Zhao Qian wanted to touch the money, saying that he could not get it for nothing, but was rejected by Wen Ya, "It's just a few pairs of shoes, not worth much. You keep the money until it's over." In Chengyang County, that's when you can spend money."

In this way, Zhao Qian couldn't hold on anymore, so he could only thank him a few times, grateful and guilty.

Early the next morning, the two families continued on their way after having breakfast.

The days are like rosary beads, one day after another, and in a blink of an eye, three rafts carrying ten families from two families arrived in Chengyang County.

After Qingyu's family and Zhao Qian's family went ashore with their backpacks on their backs, they walked along the river for nearly an hour, finally got on the official road, and then went down a long slope to the city gate.

Under the towering city gate, there are people of different roles coming in and out. Those who carry burdens, push carts, ride horses, and walk are such ordinary but vivid scenes that make Qing who has fled all the way and is used to seeing casualties Rain was moved for a while.

Others, seeing this peaceful scene, were also full of excitement. This peaceful and stable atmosphere soothed their bodies and minds that had been tortured for days.

Zhufeng stared obsessively at the gate of the city not far away, and gradually, he saw warm clothes, delicious food, and a soft bed. He couldn't stabilize his emotions for a while, and suddenly walked around in circles with the basket on his back, Shouting and shouting: "At last our hard days are at an end."

Heart was infected by him, holding Zhufeng's rough hand and shouting in circles.

Qing Yu saw that many people around her were already paying attention, so she quickly backed away.She doesn't know anyone.

With a cold face, Wen Ya walked over and slapped Zhuifeng on the back of the head: "How grown up, I don't want to embarrass you."

Zhufeng was stunned by the pain, the joy left in an instant, and he became depressed.Shi'an immediately walked over to appease his easily hurt elder brother.

Compared with Qingyu's family, Zhao Qian's family seemed much calmer. It wasn't that they were unhappy, but because they thought they had dozens of copper coins on them, and the family of five didn't know how to get through this winter, so they didn't feel any excitement.

After Zhufeng's mood eased, he also noticed that Zhao Qian's mood was low. Could it be that extreme joy begets sorrow?After all, he had been together for more than a month, and he kindly stepped forward and asked, "Why is Brother Zhao so preoccupied?"

Zhao Qian was envious and ashamed in his heart, he was also a human being, and he also raised a family of five, so why was there such a big difference between himself and Brother Bai.

His indescribable sourness and disappointment in himself: "I don't know how to get through this winter." He smiled wryly with envy: "Brother, your family is all so capable, so you won't have to worry about it."

Zhufeng pursed his lips and remained silent, what could he say, brother, don't be ashamed, actually your brothers, sisters, nephews and nieces are all old fairies who have lived for hundreds of years.Hey
He patted Zhao Qian on the shoulder, "There will be a way. Let's go, let's go into the city."
