Hanging pot to help the world, I just want to live forever

Chapter 162
In the rambling voice, Xun Ke chatted with her.

In Aunt Cheng's memory, everyone left temporarily to avoid the robbers some time ago, but because she was sick and couldn't leave for the time being, so she stayed in the village.

As for those abandoned fertile fields, of course, it was also because of this reason that weeds were overgrown. She could still remember the season of autumn, and her words could be regarded as having rules and logic at all.

Only when it comes to the memory of the night falling into the sky and the white lotus sect dispatched after that, and fighting with the court's troops, they will appear a little at a loss, as if they don't understand what Xun Ke is talking about.

But on the other hand, she was able to chat with Xun Ke exactly what the village was like six years ago, including those former playmates of Xun Ke, the conditions of the neighbors, and even remember who was careless and who treated others better.
And once you try to connect these six years, it will become like "the thief came some time ago, everyone left first, only she got sick".

Her memory seems to have been cut off with a knife, and six years have passed silently, except for the two concepts of the village before the disaster and the previous period.

But just by looking at her situation at this time, one can understand that if Gu Dan and Xun Ke came a day or two later, no, even if it was only a day, she might not be able to survive.

Gu Dan took out a clean towel from the package, made some water, twisted the towel to moisten it, and handed it to Xun Ke.

Then he took out the unused food from the big package he was carrying - those are all kinds of pastries specially prepared by Lin Xiaoyi for the royal family. Very hungry.

Gu Dan took out the food that Lin Xiaoyi had prepared and put it in front of Aunt Cheng so that she could choose it by herself.

In fact, there was no choice. For her, these foods were delicacies that she had never seen before. It was one of the iron proofs that Xun Ke had the ability to read, so she began to praise Xun Ke for his reading.

"A long time ago, everyone said that you will be capable. You are smarter than Daniu and Erniu. How long are you planning to stay this time? When my husband comes back, I will ask him to make more for you. furniture."

Aunt Cheng's thinking in this regard is very clear, and she can still clearly remember that her man is a carpenter, and she talked about the tragedy of the village after being attacked in bits and pieces, and then she made up her mind. After returning, if you don’t want to make money, you must first build the furniture that the neighbors will use.

"These are delicious."

Eating the cakes that Gu and Dan brought out from the imperial capital, Aunt Cheng showed an embarrassed smile on her face. She probably had never been exposed to such things in her life. The color, aroma and taste were all integrated together, plus At this time, my stomach is empty and I am extremely hungry. It is inevitable that I will gobble it up, eat very fast, and even choke.

"Xun Ke is very capable, and he has also achieved fame in the imperial capital. The daughter of the empress of the dynasty likes him very much and often fights with him. These meals are specially prepared by the empress. It is for you to let him return home in good clothes. You have to open your stomach to eat the gift you prepared, otherwise the queen will be unhappy!"

Gu Dan was so serious, telling half-truths and passing the water by the way, that he almost believed it himself.

"Ah, the queen's daughter? That's the princess!"

Aunt Cheng was very surprised, and couldn't help turning her eyes over Xun Ke, "Our village hasn't seen such a character in hundreds of years! This is from Guangzong Yaozu!"

Xun Ke also squeezed a smile, and said solemnly: "That is, the queen's daughter is always pestering me, and she refuses to leave no matter what. This time I came back to see if everyone is doing well. We also have a background. You are a human, and you cannot allow others to bully you!"

"Okay!"

Aunt Cheng clapped her hands, she was very happy, "Our village is very good, but it was attacked by thieves a while ago. I heard from Da Niu and his family that the tax is a bit heavy, and if it continues like this, they will not be able to support two children. say?"

She still has the concept of the queen and the emperor, and she understands that they are incomparable figures to ordinary people, and she doesn't even take the food anymore, so she asked with some entanglement and some expectations.

"Of course, I have already agreed with the queen before I came here that this village will not have to pay taxes for decades to come, and everyone can live in peace and stability, thanks to Xun Ke's blessing."

Gu Dan followed her words and continued to speak, with an upright look on his face, speaking firmly and sincerely.

"Have you not had to pay taxes for decades?!"

Aunt Cheng's eyes burst out with an unbelievable brilliance, and her face was full of disbelief, followed by great joy, "When the people in the village come back, everyone must be very happy. It was stolen by a thief, and the days to come It's better too."

Vitality filled her body again. On her dark and smelly face, there was a smile that people couldn't look directly at. She even spoke politely to Xun Ke, at least she didn't treat Xun Ke as a child anymore. .

Xun Ke's fists hidden under his body have long been pale, and there is still a smile on his face, just like a prodigal son returning home in fine clothes, ready to bring his fellow villagers to become rich together.

After Aunt Cheng was full and the rain outside the house gradually subsided, she did not forget to congratulate Xun Ke before she left, such as treating the princess well and not making the queen angry. annual tax, the queen must be a good person.
Aunt Cheng's home is in a dilapidated small yard.

Just from the outside, the house she lived in was completely indistinguishable from the surrounding houses, and even exuded a special smell in the house, but she seemed to be thoroughly familiar with it, and did not show the slightest He just said that he was incapable, and that he hadn't taken care of his home for a long time after he got sick.

She said goodbye to Gu Dan very warmly. She made Gu Dan a friend of Xun Ke, and said that when the dates were ripe again next year, she could come to her home with Xun Ke to hunt dates. The dates in her house were big and juicy. Tian, ​​the little guy from ten miles and eight villages, every time the dates are ripe, he likes to come over to beg for some sweet dates.

Gu Dan saw the jujube tree in her yard.

already dead.

Even the bark was peeled off abruptly, leaving no trace of green onions.

In this season, everything should be withered.

Gu Dan just nodded with a smile, and while Aunt Cheng was not paying attention, the green light quietly landed on the jujube tree.

The intoxicating green onion climbs up the branches at a very fast speed, and the luxuriant and vigorous jujube flowers can't wait to bloom in every corner, which is countless vitality.

Along with the jujube tree blossoms, the sound of iron hooves trampling on the ground can be heard faintly in the distance.
