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

Chapter 166
Aunt Cheng who rushed out suddenly exceeded everyone's expectations.

And her goal was also very clear. The only remaining good eye was staring at Wang Mang closely, with a rather ferocious expression on her face, and she was about to greet him with a stick.

Wang Mang: "???"

Wang Mang, who was targeted in this way, was completely at a loss as he didn't understand why he had offended this crazy woman.

Fortunately, Xun Ke's reaction was quicker, and he immediately stood in front of Wang Mang, shouting loudly: "Misunderstanding! Misunderstanding, please don't get excited, Aunt Cheng. This is my friend. He is not a bandit or bandit!"

"Not a thief?"

Aunt Cheng who rushed over still refused to put down the wooden stick in her hand, her dim eyes turned around Wang Mang, her vigilance did not seem to be diminished in the slightest, "Why would you wear this kind of clothes if you are not a bandit?"

Wang Mang was wearing a good leather armor, the appearance of the Dayue system, and his whole person looked crisp and neat-this thing was undoubtedly a spoil of war he had captured.

But in Aunt Cheng's heart, the person wearing this dress is a bandit.

"This is what he picked up to wear after he killed the thief, not his clothes."

Gu Dan's reaction was of course quick, but he didn't dare to reach out to stop Aunt Cheng, for fear that if he accidentally applied a little force, it would easily cause irreversible damage.

"Really. Thieves are the most hateful and cunning, and they cannot be fooled."

Aunt Cheng was still a little skeptical, her eyes were still turning back and forth on Wang Mang.

Gu Dan thought for a while, and immediately punched Wang Mang, "Look, if this is a thief, he must not be so honest, right?"

"Yep!"

Xun Ke also nodded again and again, and punched Wang Mang several times with apology, "It's really my friend. If you don't like this outfit, Aunt Cheng, I'll let him change it right away."

Er Niu finally found the time to interject, "Aunt Cheng, it's me! I am Er Niu, and I can prove that this person is not a thief."

Everyone explained in a hurry, but Wang Mang, who had received a few punches for no reason, seemed a little dazed.

What evil has he done!
"Oh that's a misunderstanding"

After realizing it, Aunt Cheng shyly put away the wooden stick in her hand, and said with some fear: "I was in the house before, and suddenly I heard a loud shout, and when I came out, I saw a man wearing a thief's clothes riding down on a horse. I thought it was another thief, so I hurried back to get the stick. I thought you were met by another thief just after you came back. It turned out to be a mistake, it’s a mistake, it’s a mistake.”

Several people immediately understood.

It's because Wang Mang yelled loudly before he came, which disturbed Aunt Cheng, and that's why this happened now.

Those punches before were really not in vain!

Wang Mang immediately took off the leather armor on his body, begging for mercy and said: "I'm really sorry, we are used to being rough, but we surprised you, we really should hit you!"

"What a shame."

Aunt Cheng put down the almost ugly stick in her hand, and showed a simple and embarrassed smile to Wang Mang, "Since you are Ke's friend and you killed the thief, you are a good person. The village was attacked by a thief before, and many people I was scared and left first. Xun Ke finally came back, I...I thought to myself that I would never be bullied by thieves again."

Wang Mang probably already understood it in his heart.

"It's okay, it's okay, you are so vigilant and brave, it really shames a big man like me. It's all because I was too loud just now, and I didn't bring any gifts when I came here this time."

While talking, Wang Mang stretched out his hand into his bosom, touched the money, and immediately froze.

Money is of course a good thing.

But Aunt Cheng is here, and probably can't afford it.

There is nowhere to spend it.

Wang Mang's thoughts turned suddenly, and he looked at Xu Wanrong, the saint of the white lotus, and immediately said: "This is my daughter-in-law, who is pregnant with a child. It rained a lot on the way, I am afraid she will catch a cold, so I can go to your house first Shall I take shelter from the rain? I have to prepare some hot water and let her wash her body."

"Oh, how can I ride a horse when I'm pregnant?! I can't ride a horse anymore. It's even worse if I get caught in the rain. What can I do if I'm freezing? You can come to my house for a while. There is a bucket of hot water at home. of."

They followed Aunt Cheng all the way to her home.

Compared with the overgrown weeds in the front yards of other houses, this yard looks much cleaner, but the house looks extraordinarily empty, without even a single decent piece of furniture.

Embarrassed, Aunt Cheng took out two stools and came in front of the crowd. One of the stools seemed to have been stained with a lot of filth, which should be the one she often sat on. clean.

"I didn't expect such a person to come, and the stool was not enough. This stool was made before Ding Cheng, but a thief came from behind, Ding Cheng hid first, and I haven't come back yet. I have no skills, and I can't do many things. Even the stool won't do either."

She lowered her head and placed the stool beside Wang Mang and Xu Wanrong.

"Oh! We're all from our own family. I'd be grateful if you let us come in to shelter from the rain. How can you be so polite? Where is the wooden bucket you mentioned? I'll fetch some water first to warm it up."

Wang Mang quickly grabbed Aunt Cheng's hand, "You are welcome, we are good at work, just point to a place."

Aunt Cheng took Wang Mang to the room and found the wooden barrel. The wooden barrel seemed to be in good condition, and there was still some water in it that was about to bottom out.

Wang Mang lifted the wooden barrel directly, looked at Er Niu, "Come on, go fetch water with me."

When both of them walked out of the yard, Gu Dan heard Wang Mang asking about Aunt Cheng's situation
Aunt Cheng chatted with the Holy Maiden of the White Lotus—mainly about the children.

"You have to be careful when you are pregnant. Giving birth to a child is a hell of a gate. In a few days, I can still go to the fields to do farm work."

Speaking of these, Aunt Cheng finally showed a happy smile on her face.

Xu Wanrong's performance was somewhat beyond Gu Dan's expectations.

Faced with this kind of topic, not only was she not at all restrained or uncomfortable, on the contrary, she was even able to chat back and forth with Aunt Cheng, which was exceptionally skillful and experienced.

It even makes people ponder, what kind of activities does the White Lotus Sect do on weekdays? Why does the saint have to master such methods?
After listening to the two chatting for a while, Gu Dan walked out the door, ran to a place far away, randomly picked an unlucky tree, cut it into several sections with zhenqi, and threw away the wet part directly. Take the intact core back to light the fire.

When he came back to light up the fire, Xu Wanrong was already chatting with Aunt Cheng about the situation outside.

"It's all back to normal, don't worry! Those culprits have been chased away, otherwise how dare we come here? Although my husband is careless, he is very good at killing thieves." Xu Wanrong said solemnly.

"A good man! A man who can kill a thief is a good man!"

Aunt Cheng was very happy, and her tone of voice rose a lot involuntarily, "The thief should be killed, and no one in the village can stay at home."

Not long after, Wang Mang and Er Niu also came back, and together they heated up the water and piled it to a suitable temperature.

Wang Mang nodded to Xu Wanrong, without saying anything.

"Aunt Cheng, I still have a lot of experience that I haven't asked you for advice. It just so happens that the water is boiling. Come on, let's take a bath first."

Several big men immediately avoided to another room.

"Aunt Cheng is actually not yet 40 years old."

Xun Ke said a little sullenly.

At the age of less than 40, in ordinary villages, they are already grandma's characters, with gray hair, dark, thin and dry skin. Years of hard work have already hollowed out a person's body and burned away the energy of life.

Life at seventy is rare since ancient times. Among the folks, 40 years old is really a proper old age.

It's just that when I was in the small courtyard of Gu's family, the people I met were too high-end. Take Lin Xiaoyi, who is about the same age as Aunt Cheng, as an example. At the age of 36, she is still in excellent condition, only the corners of her eyes are slightly wrinkled , other than that, the real age cannot be seen at all.

But one is the Queen of Dayue, and the other is the crazy woman in the village. The closest distance between them is only age.

"There are many of these things."

The expression on Wang Mang's face was a little cold, without the gentleness he showed at the beginning, and his voice was a little serious, "When you go out for a walk, you can always encounter such things. The family is ruined, the child is sold, and the whole family is left alone. The number of next ones is beyond counting. This is the way of the world."

Speaking of the emergence of heroes in large numbers, it always makes people excited, and their ambitions are all awakened together, and they can't wait for people to join in it together.

But when one leans down to take a look, it is not difficult to see the blood and tears of many families, the pain and suffering of countless days and nights under the heroes.

I'd rather be a dog of peace than leave people for chaos!
Who is better off in such a world?
Lin Xiaoyi, who is the queen, had her parents murdered; Wang Mang, who had achieved success at this time, had his fiancee killed; Xun Ke's parents were slaughtered in order to stop the rebellious warriors. Nian's hard work turned into nothing, and he couldn't bear to slay the dragon with three fists.

When bad luck comes, no one can but bear it.

If you can survive it, you will continue to live; if you can't survive it, you will just die.

It is nothing more than the length of the process.

"Let's go after taking a shower."

Gu Dan said: "It's time to do something."

When Xu Wanrong and Aunt Cheng came out, the pattering rain had stopped, but the wind became more and more noisy.

Looking at the sky, it looked gloomy and heavy. I am afraid that this moment of pause is not the grace of heaven, but the short silence before the storm.

The world is not benevolent, and all things are humble dogs.

The rustling autumn wind is full of chills.

Aunt Cheng washed it very clean, and even put on a good set of clothes, the clothes should have been brought by Xu Wanrong, they didn't fit very well, but fortunately they were made of solid materials.

"This clothes should be worn by you!"

Xu Wanrong took Aunt Cheng's hand and walked out of the room, and saw several people who were already leading the horses.

"Aunt Cheng, we are leaving!"

Xun Ke led the horse, "Brother Gu said there are still some uneasy and kind thieves around, we are going to clean up those thieves, we can't stay in the village any longer."

"Going to clean up the thieves?"

Aunt Cheng's eyes lit up, and she said worriedly: "Then you all have to be careful. The thief is very powerful."

"Don't worry, I know what's in my heart. I came here this time to solve the problem of the thief."

Gu Dan nodded with a smile, and waved to her, "It won't be too long, when the thieves are cleaned up, everyone in the village will come back again, you have to wait a little longer, don't dislike our speed slow."

Er Niu patted his chest and said: "Look, I'll be back first, and the neighbors in the neighborhood will all be back soon! I'll clean up the house later, maybe I'll need your help, Auntie Cheng."

"Okay"

Aunt Cheng nodded repeatedly.

Without any further gossip, a group of four rode horses and walked forward together.

When he was about to leave the village, Gu Dan looked back.

Seeing that Aunt Cheng was waving at them, her lips moved.

The distance is a bit far, even with his hearing, he can't really hear it.

It can only be discerned vaguely from the width of the lips, it should be "Bon voyage".

In the autumn of the sixth year of Kangjing, in Xun Ke's hometown, a very ordinary place, I met very inconspicuous people and things.

Gu Dan stared ahead and tightened his grip on the horse's reins.

There, there is his majestic pass.

Not long after the autumn harvest, I took the time to look in the field, and there was nothing left in the field. This year, everyone harvested cleanly!Let alone wheat, you can't even see an ear of rice.Only Da Niu's family, why are there so many weeds growing in the field, and it is still next to my field, why don't you know how to weed?
When I was busy in the field, I saw a lot of rice sprinkled on a piece of land, and I didn't know whose family was so careless. I waited for a long time at that place, but no one came to clean it up.The sky is sinking, and it's starting to rain. If you don't eat the rice left on the ground, it will be ruined by the rain. I really don't want to take advantage of others.When my husband comes back, finding the careless person and returning it to him is better than throwing it here as a waste.

When I got back to the village, I went to Daniel's house for a walk, and I was going to talk about them, and then I asked whose rice was lost on the road, but I couldn't find anyone, so I remembered that some time ago, there were thieves. I have to go out to avoid it, only I, an incapable person, is sick and can't move around.It's all autumn harvest now, and they haven't come back yet, so it's no wonder that the field of Da Niu's house is full of weeds, what a pity that good field!The owner of the rice that fell on the ground is probably a passerby, and I’m afraid he has gone far away. If I lose so many things, will I be so distressed when I go back?It will be laughed at by the whole village for several years!

When I was about to go home, I was stopped by someone. I thought it was someone who lost something, but I didn't expect it to be Xun Ke. Xun Ke came back.I heard that he went to learn art with others, and he left earlier than the people in the village. He has grown a lot taller, learned a lot of skills, and even passed the exam!This is a matter of Guangzong Yaozu!

I heard from his friends that he is still valued by the queen's daughter. That is the princess. The princess values ​​him. Is he going to recruit the son-in-law?My mother-in-law, she is a relative of the emperor!When he came back this time, Xun Ke also brought a lot of good things, especially delicious, prepared by the queen for him. Others in the village were not so lucky, so I was alone. When they came back, they might envy me to death.

Not long after dinner, Xun Ke had a new friend who came to the village. The empress valued people were different. Friends could kill the thief and even took off the thief's clothes. I made a joke!I almost thought that the thief was coming again.Hearing from his new friend, the thieves outside have been driven away, and there are not many left, and this time he came back to clean up the thieves.

The thieves are about to be cleaned up. After the thieves are cleaned up, everyone in the village will come back, right?I have to watch closely, and when someone comes back, I will tell Daniel's family immediately, and remove the grass in the field first, it will almost grow into my field.

Now that there are no culprits, Dingcheng, Shenger, you guys will come back sometime
