Chapter 5 Wang Family Village

“Sign in…” Xi Yue was weak: “I’m hungry, can you give me something to eat?”

“Sign-in is successful!” The ball player had a little bow and arrow, and flew out six gray cards in front of her: “Host, please draw the cards yourself: What kind of gifts you can get, depends on your own luck~~”

Xi Yue hesitated, and chose the second card. The card was pinched at her fingertips, and it immediately turned into dust and disappeared. She looked down at her empty hands: “…”

“Host, it seems that you used all your luck yesterday, and you didn’t get anything–” Qiuqiu grinned and said, “Don’t be discouraged, please continue to cheer tomorrow!”

Xi Yue doesn’t think this system is cute anymore, her hands are itchy! It seems how to break this stuff to death–

“Host, someone is coming, see you tomorrow!”


The ball disappeared from the ground, Xi Yue raised her face, only to see that the ox cart driver who had just ran away led a large group of villagers holding sticks, rakes and hoes, and shouted at her. She rubbed the bag of her forehead, held back her fear and squatted to these people and bowed.

Although the villagers came fiercely, they were a little cringed. Seeing Xi Yue’s politeness, they couldn’t help being stunned for a while:

“You, are you a ghost?!”

“She, she has a shadow at her feet, it must be a human… Niu San always likes to bluff and make a fuss!”

“But look at her face… Li Gui is not so scary, okay!”

The villagers talked and talked about Xiyue with black lines. Xi Yue said loudly:

“Uncle Uncle, the little girl is a human, not a ghost! Last night I passed by the expensive land and went to another place to surrender, not wanting to coincide with the killing of the two armies-not only suffering from the fish, but also being forced to be separated from her family. The little girl was not on the run. Be careful to knock your head broken, and pass out and be misunderstood by Uncle uncles!”

“It’s true…” said a black and thin man among the villagers: “It was a terrible noise last night, but fortunately, the soldiers entered the village without losing…”

“This little girl is also a fortune teller…”

“It’s okay, it’s okay! A misunderstanding… Let’s keep going!” The oldest gray-bearded old man waved away from the crowd. Xi Yue saw that the old man was more prestigious among the villagers, and hurriedly went over to say hello:

“Hello old man! The little girl is unfamiliar here, can you please help me?”

The old man looked back at her: “Little girl, it’s not old and unkind…but you see, this world is full of military and man-made calamities. Everyone in the village is having a hard time. There is really no spare capacity to help you… …Where do you come from, and where do you go!”

“No, old man, you misunderstood!”

Xi Yue touched her body, not writing a word, and got her luggage into the car. I had no choice but to wipe off a pair of silver bracelets on my wrists and hand them to the old man’s eyes: “Old man, the little girl, there is only so much left on him. Can I ask you to change some food and give some pointers… How does Jiang go to Wu’s house?”

The old man’s muddy eyes flashed, he did not take the bracelet, but up and down, and looked at her again: “Girl, if you are not afraid of Luyao, let the old man go home. The only things you want are I have it at home.”

Xi Yue hesitated for a moment, and happily agreed, “Thank you, old man!”

With this respectful face, she really didn’t believe anyone would be blinded enough to give her an idea.

The old man was obviously satisfied with the trust she showed. He greeted the villagers and told them to clean the battlefield and return to the village as soon as possible. He took Xi Yue and walked towards his home first.

This old man’s home is indeed very far away-less than two kilometers, climbing up the ridge, and passing through a forest. As far as Xi Yue could see, many fertile fields were barren. Only a few plots of land near the village can see some elderly women and children working hard. Those crops are not growing well.

The old man calls himself Wang. There are three to forty households in a village, most of whom are from his own family, so this village is called Wangjiacun.

Looking at the doubts about attending the month, I explained one or two things: all men in the village above fifteen and under fifty were forcibly enlisted for military service by the nearby garrison. Now, except for the wounded, sick and disabled, they are the elderly, women and children. So Most of the arable land is deserted. Nowadays, after years of military disasters and heavy taxes and taxes, people who can normally drink two porridge a day are regarded as wealthy people.

Therefore, the old man really looks down on Xi Yue’s pair of silver bracelets. In the eyes of indigenous peoples today, something that is not to be seen is really inferior to a half-bag of whole grains.

Xi Yue was very embarrassed and whispered:

“Then… Mr. Wang, why are you helping me?”

The old man Wang smiled: “Little girl, although your face is ruined, your fingers are slender, and there is no trace of labor. In addition, the etiquette is dignified, whether it is rich or expensive… The old don’t ask you to get something back. Report, just ask for a good relationship, and don’t cause trouble to your upper body in the future.”

Xi Yue was inexplicably uncomfortable, but she didn’t know how to answer. But if she wants to go back and leave, she really needs help at the moment. Tangled to follow the old man Wang’s house. I saw it was a home, but there were actually three adobe houses that would not collapse, and a large yard enclosed by a fence.

Uncle Wang’s house should be pretty good. Many thatched buildings were built along the way, and some even just built a simple shed with ventilation on all sides.

Uncle Wang pushed open the crumbling courtyard door, shouted, and ran out a woman in her thirties: The large and small patches on the coarse cloth skirt blinded Xi Yue’s eyes, she was dark and thin, with a sad face. Standing behind Wang’s old uncle, Xi Yue pinched her fingers too tightly.

“Huzi’s mother, you go use that bean noodles and some wild vegetables, a few dry food flatbreads on the kang, and a water sac for this girl.”

The woman was obviously hesitant. Old Uncle Wang gave her a sideways look, and Fang Xiao smiled and raised the curtain to the stove next door. Uncle Wang asked Xi Yue to sit down on the stone bench in the yard, and first gave her a bowl of clear water in an earthen bowl, and also took some wild fruits that Xi Yue could not recognize for her to eat.

Xi Yue was hungry and didn’t care about the astringent and sour fruit, she held it all into her belly, and even drank two bowls of water.

While eating and talking, she knew that the woman was the wife of the old man Wang.

Uncle Wang’s wife died young, and his son grew up alone. Finally, he waited until his son was 20 years old to marry a wife, and he was drafted within six months of his marriage. Fortunately, her daughter-in-law’s belly is up for strength, leaving blood for the Wang family. Little Huzi is also half a year old this year.

Xi Yue’s heart embarrassed: So, what kind of look was she just now! Can you think of a young woman who is not a few years older than her and who is twenty-eight years old as a woman in her thirties?

It can only be said that these troubled times aboriginals live very hard.



An hour later, Xi Yue walked out of Wang’s Village with a bag of dry food, water sacs, and Old Man Wang dictated that she groped and drew a simple topographic map. Without paper and pen, the so-called map is a piece of rags painted in black and gray with charcoal. For this reason, Xi Yue also forcibly stuffed the pair of silver bracelets with the wife of Wang and the old man.

Old Uncle Wang was not interested in this thing, but his daughter-in-law obviously liked it. Xi Yue said that there was no paper, so she tore a piece of torn clothes and gave it to her. Xi Yue sighed secretly: A woman’s love of beauty, no matter which dynasty or generation, is really engraved in her bones.
