He paused briefly and then said: "Miss Yun, in today's troubled times, the country's feudal hogs and snakes, and the people's cows, ghosts, and snakes, are gathering together everywhere to get what they need, making the people of the world miserable. You, a weak woman, are living outside. You must do it."
Be careful, I still have something to do, so I’ll take my leave now!”
Yun Zhongyan did not expect that he would inadvertently do such a righteous and awe-inspiring thing. Fortunately, it was just a near miss, and he couldn't help but be secretly happy.
He knew that Zhang Liang was a talented person in the country and must be involved in many important matters. He hurriedly returned the greeting, looked at his back, and left the woods quietly!
She was still in shock and fear, so she quickly stood up and ran towards a small town like chasing the wind and lightning!
She walked on the street of the town and felt that there were few people here. She walked straight towards the center of the town and saw a restaurant called the Wuming Hotel.
I have been exhausted physically and mentally recently, and I really want to take a rest. I thought that I had been eating wild vegetables to satisfy my hunger, and it was time for me to have a full meal. I reached out and touched the baggage, and there were still some broken silver, but there was nothing.
Without hesitation, I walked into the store!
When she came to the store, there was no one there at all. Except for a waiter who was dozing off in the corner, there were only two people sitting there eating. Looking at the depressed scene, the business of this store was really worrying.
After Yun Zhongyan chose a seat and sat down, she shouted softly: "Little second brother, little second brother!"
The man who was sleeping soundly seemed not to have heard anything. He was still sleeping soundly, and he could even hear some snoring coming from his nose. It was really ridiculous!
When she was about to get up and walk over to wake up the waiter, a woman of about thirty-four or five years old suddenly came down from the stairs on the second floor. She was dressed in simple clothes and a jade hairpin sarong. She looked approachable, gentle and kind.
Seeing her hurrying down the stairs, he politely shouted to Yun Zhongyan: "What would you like to eat, girl?"
Yun Zhongyan stood up hurriedly and said: "As long as it can fill my stomach, sister, you can make arrangements."
At first glance, she felt that this woman was very amiable, so she called her her sister.
The woman smiled slightly, then turned and went to the kitchen!
Not long after, the woman brought the prepared food on a tray. It looked like a large plate full, and it was all placed on the table by Yun Zhongyan!
Yun Zhongyan was stunned. How could he possibly digest the food on the table? Thinking about the financial burden on him, he couldn't help but feel ashamed. It seemed that he couldn't afford the meal today, but he was too embarrassed to ask for it.
Other things are fine. If this meal is cooked, even if it is sold to others, they will not be happy. Looking at the desolate village, few passing customers will come into the store.
Alas, what should I do? I am really a mute eating Coptis chinensis, I can’t tell the pain!
Yun Zhongyan gave the woman a cold look and thought to herself: "This woman seems kind and kind, how could she be so full of bad intentions? She was asked to make arrangements by herself, but she made the arrangements for several people. She really treated herself like a pig.
Have you done the same thing? It must be because the shop is crowded and the business is sluggish, so that’s why you buy and sell by force, and you can make every profit."
Thinking of this, I couldn't help feeling secretly embarrassed, and thought angrily: "I am a poor girl, how can you make any money?"
Just when she was frowning and thinking that she was unlucky, the woman asked softly: "Why don't you eat, sister? The food has become cold after a while!"
She looked at the woman in embarrassment. She didn't say anything about eating, nor did she say she wouldn't eat. She smiled bitterly for a while, but couldn't say a word!
Seeing this, the woman asked again: "Is it possible that my sister is afraid that the food is poisonous? But it's not strange to have such thoughts in this wilderness. If it were me, I would be more careful. In this case,
Why don't I eat with my sister?"
Seeing that she was in a red city, and she didn't look like a messy business person like he imagined, Yun Zhongyan was immediately confused as a monk, and stood there, speechless for a long time!
After the woman finished speaking, she picked a stool, sat opposite Yun Zhongyan, picked up the bowl and chopsticks, and served Yun Zhongyan rice!
Seeing how diligent she was, Yun Zhongyan suddenly felt red in the face and ashamed, and said hurriedly: "Sister, you are too polite. It's not that I don't want to eat, nor that I'm afraid of poisoning you, but you've done too much. I won't eat it at all."
No”!
The woman smiled and said: "Sister, just feel free to eat. Looking at your sallow complexion, I know you must have suffered a lot recently. My sister feels sorry for you, so she cooks all the extra food in the store for you."
A little more."
She was really not sure, what was this woman's intention? She was just short of money, and she could never eat this meal. If she really tried to eat it, she would be penniless, and the delicious food on the table would have to be left in the shop.
It’s hard to offset the long hours of doing chores here!
She thought for a moment and decided not to be vague anymore. She might as well tell her difficulties directly and see how the other party behaves. This woman has always been kind and polite, but she doesn't know if she is shy. If she tells the truth frankly, will she still do it?
So diligent?
Having made up her mind, she hurriedly responded with courtesy: "Sister, thank you for your kindness. My sister is really suffering from the fact that her money is empty, and her money is not enough to pay for your kindness, so..."
Before she could finish her words, the woman suddenly laughed and said: "My sister is so worried that she is starving for food. Since my sister has prepared the best food in the shop for you, she has no intention of accepting you."
Silver, eat it with ease, this meal will be credited to my sister!"
After saying that, he handed the bowl of rice to Yun Zhongyan!
Yun Zhongyan was very surprised. He and this sister were strangers to each other. Why did she treat him like this? It was a so-called pie in the sky.
She couldn't help but said hurriedly: "Sister, this is absolutely impossible. How dare you and I accept such kindness when we meet by chance? I have some scraps of silver here. I will give them all to you. It can be regarded as a little bit of kindness from my sister!"
With that said, he reached out from his baggage to take out the little silver he had left.
The woman smiled sweetly and hurriedly stopped her: "Sister, don't bother with it. Since your purse is low, just save it for future emergencies. Since the first time I saw you, my sister has liked you very much. There is no need to be polite to my sister.
, if you delay it any longer, it will appear that your sister is not taking good care of her!"
Seeing that the other party was so considerate, Yun Zhongyan felt that it was hard to refuse the kindness, so she did not refuse anymore and responded with courtesy: "In that case, my sister will no longer be polite!"
After saying that, he raised his hands and took the meal from the woman!
Although the two met for the first time, they became like old friends. They ate happily and enjoyed themselves very much.
It had been a long time since she had tasted such delicacies, and this sister's cooking skills were truly outstanding. This delicacy was no less delicious than those cooked by the royal chef in the palace!
During the chat, she learned that this woman's name was Yang Yingjiao, and she had opened a shop here for more than ten years. She basically took care of all the matters in the shop. Although the place was sparsely populated and the business was sluggish, it was more than enough to make a living.
In these troubled times, if you can meet the needs of life on your own, you can be regarded as a hero among women!
Yun Zhongyan had already eaten and drank enough. She knew that all the food on the table had been digested by herself, and Sister Jiao was just showing off with her.
Looking at the empty bowls on the table, I was not surprised. It was the first time in my life that I had eaten so much food in one meal. Maybe it was because I had abused my stomach too much during this period that I swallowed so much food in one go. Lots of delicious food!
After finishing the meal, Yun Zhongyan did not rush away, but stayed in the store to help clear away the cups, plates, dishes, and chopsticks. She felt very embarrassed. It would be disrespectful to just wipe her mouth and walk away like this. !
At this time, the guy who was dozing in the corner had woken up. He looked confused and sleepy, as if he hadn't slept well. However, his appearance was dignified and he didn't look like a bad person. He was simple and honest, and his clothes were simple, so he should be. I'm married to Sister Jiao!
He slowly stood up from the stool in the corner, stretched out his back carelessly, yawning, and walked straight towards the table that Yun Zhongyan was wiping!
He came to the table, hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Girl, how dare you do anything? Just take a break and let me do it!"
As he said that, he grabbed the rag in her hand and started to do it himself. He looked like a warm-hearted and enthusiastic person!
At this time, Yang Yingjiao from upstairs suddenly heard shouting: "Sister Yan'er, come upstairs quickly, sister has something to say to you!"
She was not polite, she just responded and walked straight upstairs.
She came to the second floor and stood by the corridor. She saw several rooms above. Except for the door of the last room, which was ajar, the other doors were all closed!
She was wandering in the corridor when she suddenly heard Yang Yingjiao shouting again: "Sister Yan'er, sister is here!"
Yun Zhongyan hurriedly looked around and saw Yang Yingjiao busy in the room with the door slightly open, as if folding the quilt. Yun Zhongyan walked into the room and asked: "Sister, do you need help from my sister? Sister You can do anything, just give me orders!"
Yang Yingjiao said hurriedly: "Sister, you don't have to be polite. It's getting late. You can stay here tonight. This is the room my sister has prepared for you. Do you like it?"
She suddenly felt very warm. She never thought that she would meet such a noble person when she was in pain, and she couldn't help but burst into tears of gratitude!
Looking at the elegant and elegant rooms in this house, she couldn't help but said happily: "Sister Jiao treats me so kindly, which really makes me ashamed. I really can't repay you!"
Yang Yingjiao said: "My sister is serious, just treat this place as your own home. If my sister doesn't dislike it, I will sleep in the same room with you tonight and talk by candlelight. I believe that my sister is also a person with stories. Otherwise, just I won’t be living here alone anymore. My sister wants to hear your story from my sister. How about it?”
Why doesn't Yun Zhongyan want to find someone to talk to? During this period of time, everything seems to be different. Too many things have happened. Think about all the grievances in your heart. If you can find someone to confide in, maybe you will suddenly become enlightened. !
She nodded hurriedly and said: "Thanks to my sister for not giving up, I wish for you!"
The moon and stars are sparse, and dusk has fallen before I know it!
The two of them finished cooking in the store, closed the store, washed themselves, and then went to the room that Yang Yingjiao had just tidied up to rest and sleep!
The two of them lay on the bed, which was neither wide nor narrow, and began to relax and talk!
Just listen to Yang Yingjiao slowly say: "My husband Liu and I are originally from Dingtao. Due to years of war and trouble, we lived here and opened this small shop to make a living. Even though this town is inaccessible,
This is a fortress passing through Guanzhong, so most of the business we do is for passers-by."
When it comes to Guanzhong, no one knows that it is a fertile land. It was once the capital of Qin. Since it is the fortress leading to Guanzhong, there should be an endless stream of merchants passing by, and there should be troops stationed from time to time. These should be the
The main source of customers of the store, otherwise, there would be no trace of people here and the crowd would be crowded. How could the business have been maintained for more than ten years?
After hearing what Yang Yingjiao said, Yun Zhongyan couldn't help but empathize with her, and said slowly: "I didn't expect Sister Jiao to have such an experience. However, seeing that you and your husband are harmonious, you will definitely have a happy life after all the hardships!"
Yang Yingjiao said: "Sister, I don't know. My husband and I once gave birth to a son in Dingtao, but he also died due to the war. The son died in infancy, which was really a misfortune for the family. Later my husband and I fled here, and my husband also lost his son."
The pain was so intense that I couldn’t get back on my feet, so I only did some chores in the store. Most of the work inside and outside the store was done by a woman like me!”
When Yun Zhongyan heard this, he not only deeply admired Sister Jiao, but also felt extremely compassionate, but he didn't know how to comfort her, so he froze there and suddenly felt sad!
Sudden.
From the top of the stairs, there was a burst of slow footsteps. Yun Zhongyan was very startled and sat up from the bed suddenly, feeling wary!
