Poor family mother and son

Chapter 4 Making up nonsense and cheating to stay
Wrap the remaining half of the fish in the washed and dried turban and put it in your bosom, Chu Qing pulls Xiaobao up to the candlestick and goes on the road.

This multifunctional candle holder is really easy to use!

Taking advantage of the fact that it was noon, Chu Qing had to hurry up and hurry. He didn't know much about this world, so he had to find a place to stay first.

Walked along the previous road, walked for more than three hours and saw a village.The village is at the foot of the mountain, and the mountain is to the north.

A middle-aged man was carrying a bundle of firewood and two rabbits in his hands. He was a little lame, and walked towards the village with one foot tall and one foot first.

"Hmm...Brother!" Chu Qing ran up to greet Xiao Bao while holding Xiao Bao in his arms.

The middle-aged man turned his head and looked suspiciously.

It's no wonder that people look at it, and they can clearly see this face, without the restraint of the turban, the broken hair and sweat sticking to the sides of the cheeks, the face is red from the sun and the journey, and the gray and coarse clothes are worn. There is also a gray child in the house, who looks like a beggar.

That man is not like a wealthy family, he still has patches on his body.When poor people meet beggars, can they not look at them.

"Brother, I'm lost, I don't know where this is?"

"Five Tree Village."

"..." is too concise.

"Brother, may I ask, what is the village chief's name? I want to find the village chief."

"Wu."

"..." Is this village chief Wu, or village chief Wu?
"Brother, can you take me to the village chief?"

"Enter the village, the seventh house at the east end of the village." Then the man left on his own.

Damn it, do I have leprosy or am I capable of biting?As for it!Chu Qing rolled her eyes towards the sky, then walked towards the village with Xiao Bao in her arms.

It was the time when the western sun was at its strongest, Chu Qing was sweating, her feet hurt, and she thought that she would have to settle the problem of food and lodging in this village tonight.On the way, Xiaobao shared the half fish with Chu Qing, and the fish was really not very hungry.At this moment, the two of them are not hungry, but thirsty.

When we entered the village, we didn't see many people.The man carrying firewood just now has been walking in front.

Chu Qing stared at the man's heading direction, which happened to be the east of the village.Then...the seventh house...the man went in!go in!Chu Qing was very speechless.Chu Qing came to the gate of the courtyard and shouted into the gate: "Is anyone home? Is the village chief there?"

Chu Qing always felt that it was impolite to ask such a question, but she didn't know how to ask it.

A voice came from behind asking: "Whose family do you belong to?" Turning around, he saw an old man wearing this faded dark robe, his hair was combed neatly, and he was holding a bunch of paper bags in his hand, like The appearance of traditional Chinese medicine in TV dramas.

The old man's eyes were full of inquiries, waiting for a clear answer.

Chu Qing blinked, not knowing what to call the old man, he looked very educated. "Mister, I got separated from my family, and I want to ask the village head here to find a place to stay temporarily."

Then he weighed the little treasure in his arms, pretending to be too immobile to increase his pity.

"You come with me."

"Thank you sir."

I followed the old man into the yard, and saw the man carrying firewood just now, sitting by the well in the yard sharpening the firewood knife.He didn't raise his head and didn't open his eyes.

"Da Lang, is your father at home?" the old man asked.

"Mr. Xie!" The big man immediately stood up, called Mr., and then replied: "My father is lying in the room. I will call my father."

"No, no, you are busy with your work, I just came to take a look."

Da Lang still walked a few steps with a limp, opened the door curtain before his head, and invited the old man in.Didn't see clearly at a glance.

Chu Qing followed the old man with Xiao Bao in his arms, and nodded to Da Lang when he entered the door, expressing his gratitude to him for opening the door curtain.

The village chief's house is quite big, and the entrance is the main room. Hearing the voice, the village chief just walked from the inner room to the main room.

"Brother, are you feeling better?" The old man stepped forward to support the village chief.

Visually, the village head is about fifty, and he feels a little top-heavy when walking.

"Mr. Xie is here. I'm almost fine, but I've been lying on the ground for a few days, and I'm a little shaky when I walk, hehehe..."

"I'm here to give you a side drug. It's for 3 days. You don't need to take it after you finish it."

After entering the main room, Chu Qing stood at the door without moving.

"Who is this?" The village chief asked Mr. Xie suspiciously.

"The woman said, she got separated from her family and wanted to ask the village chief for a temporary place to stay."

"Hello, village chief." Chu Qing hurried up two steps to the middle of the main room, hugged Xiaobao and bowed slightly towards the village chief.

"I belong to the Yuan family, and my husband's surname is Fang," Chu Qing thought for a while before making up a reason.

"My concubine went to visit relatives in Fu'an County, Jizhou with my husband, and encountered bandits on the way, separated from my husband in the chaos, and ended up here." Thinking of the broken arrow, Chu Qing made up a smooth line.

"I want to ask the village chief to make up my mind to keep my concubine temporarily. The concubine can work to pay for the temporary stay." Emma, ​​talking like this is really tiring. She still wants to stay and make up reasons. I don't know how the people here are. say.

"Hmm..." The village chief felt that the woman's speech was a bit weird, but she expressed the meaning quite clearly, but it sounded awkward.Looking at the woman's expression, it doesn't look miserable and anxious.

At this time Xiaobao suddenly sniffed his nose, and Chu Qing saw Xiaobao's tears dripping down.Xiaobao looked at Chu Qing with teary eyes, Chu Qing felt sad for a moment, and then his nose was sore, and his eyes started to tear up.

When the village head saw the two women looking at each other with tears streaming down their skirts, he immediately understood.This woman has endured so much bitterness until now, and finally she can't take it anymore.

The village chief's wife happened to bring tea in, and seeing the scene of the two women crying in silence in the main room, my heart softened all of a sudden.

"What's wrong with this? Little lady, where are you from? This is your son?"

Chu Qing quickly hugged Xiaobao and turned to the village head's wife: "Hello, auntie, this is Xiaobao, my concubine's son..." He repeated what he said just now.That's how the relationship between mother and child was established.Xiaobao didn't respond.

"Ouch, old man, hurry up and make arrangements. There is a lot of chaos these years, so don't let the little lady wander outside. It's too dangerous! The child is still so young."

Xiao Bao buried his head on Chu Qing's neck and shoulders, looking even more desolate.

"Well, the old lady is right. Mr. Xie, isn't there a shortage of sweepers and cooks in your school? In the past few years, there have been no strong laborers in the village. The women have all gone to the fields and have not been assigned Get someone to cook and do chores for you, just her, okay?" The village chief asked Mr. Xie for his opinion.

"Yuan Shi, can you cook?" Mr. Xie asked.

"Yes, it's fine to clean the court. As long as we have something to eat." Let's stay first and then talk about other things.Chu Qing hurriedly replied.
