At the end of autumn in the 34th year of Apocalypse——

Just after noon, the gate of the small courtyard was open as soon as he entered and exited. Liang Feng carried a portion of glutinous rice chicken wrapped in lotus leaves in his hand. The little boy was sitting on the saddle bending over to wash his clothes, and he never saw another person.

Liang Feng's face showed two points of disappointment at first, and then his face became relaxed again.

He didn't lift his feet at all, and went straight in, but his footsteps were extremely light, and the little boy really didn't know that someone had entered the courtyard.

This little boy seems to be not very good at washing clothes, because he is not very good at washing, so he washes very seriously, concentrating on washing clothes.It wasn't until someone behind him put his hands under his armpits and lifted him up that he was shocked.

"Erlang, where's your sister? Why are you alone at home?"

Liang Feng held up Xu Nian like he usually teases children, Xu Nian recognized Liang Feng after hearing the sound, and then he felt at ease.

Unexpectedly, Liang Feng owed him a lot, so he suddenly turned around and threw him in the air. Xu Nian almost yelled, and his breath got stuck in his throat. When Liang Feng caught him again, Xu Nian was already face to face with Liang Feng. The two stared at each other with big eyes.

Liang Feng only saw a startled expression on Xu Nian's face the moment he turned around, but now the kid was expressionless again, looking particularly unpleasant.

"You are so different from other children." Liang Feng shook his head, "Why haven't you smiled all day?"

Xu Nian didn't say a word, but stretched out his hand still stained with water and slapped Liang Feng's face expressionlessly. It was cold at the end of autumn and the water was even colder. The frozen Liang Feng grinned, and then put Xu Nian down.

Xu Nian sat back on the pony saddle again, bent over to wash his clothes, but whispered: "When you crawl out of the ruins, walk all the way, and see the dead people along the way, it will be hard to laugh."

Liang Feng's ears are very useful. He heard Xu Nian's words in a low voice, and he opened his mouth to retort: ​​"Brother, I also left home to join the army at the age of 15. I crawled out of the pile of dead people in many battles, because I couldn't survive. It's easy so-"

Liang Feng hadn't finished speaking when an old lady came in with her head in. Before she could see her face clearly, she yelled with a bit of a smile in her voice: "Chun Niang, my family has run out of salt and we are cooking soup on the fire. Let me borrow some from you first." Pay it back tonight."

Xu Nian got up, wiped a couple of hands on the clothes casually, raised his face, his eyes were bent, and the corners of his mouth were also bent, before he saw anyone, he showed a little smile, and replied: "My sister has gone to the shop, aunt, would you like How much? Is it enough for me to dig three scoops for you?"

"Is Chunniang not here?"

The aunt stepped into the small courtyard and saw Liang Feng was there with something in his hand, she knew it in her heart, and seeing Xu Nian's delicate brows with a smile on her face, her mood improved a little bit unconsciously.

Aunt Li smiled and said, "Enough is enough, please trouble Erlang, I will buy it and return it to you when I come back from my house at night."

Over there, Xu Nian responded, turned and ran to the kitchen: "Auntie, wait for me in the yard, and I'll go to the kitchen to serve it for you."

After saying that, Xu Nian was already in the kitchen, Liang Feng was staring at him dumbfounded, and finally realized that Wang Erlang wasn't smiling, this stinky brat just didn't smile at him!

The aunt over there couldn't stay idle, and talked to Liang Feng: "Master Jun just came back from the martial arts field?"

Liang Feng said "um", and the aunt said again: "The siblings in this family are really handsome, and the elder sister is already a good-looking person, but looking at Erlang now, he looks even more handsome than the elder sister, Erlang You don’t have to worry about saying goodbye in the future.”

"It's a pity..."

Aunt Li sighed again, Liang Feng went to see her: "What a pity?"

"For orphans and widows, there is no one in the family. If Chun Niang marries the right person, it's fine. If she marries the wrong one, she will be bullied by others. Her natal family doesn't even have a speaker."

Aunt Li said that Xu Nian had come out with a small bowl containing half a bowl of salt, so Aunt Li closed her mouth, greeted him and took the salt, thanked him again and again before leaving, but said to Liang Feng when she left. You understand" with a smile.

Liang Feng was speechless for a while, not because Wuyu thought too much, but the people around Wuyu knew what he meant for Wang Chunniang at a glance, but Wang Chunniang was stunned as if he didn't know.

He thought about it, and carefully asked Xu Nian: "Your sister sees that I have no smiling face like you all day, is she still resenting me for touching her hand at the end of May?"

Xu Nianxin thought that you still remembered the embarrassment we had when we changed our household registration, but he replied lightly: "Brother Liang, you are overthinking, my sister is not so small-minded."

Liang Feng felt that the credibility of this statement was not high, so he thought for a while and stuffed the glutinous rice chicken into Xu Nian's arms: "You can eat this chicken after warming it up at night, I'll go first."

After finishing speaking, Liang Feng had already walked to the door, he paused, then turned to Xu Nian and said, "Don't wash your clothes, I'll come here at night and bring them to our barracks, we have people who specialize in washing clothes. "

When these words fell again, Liang Fengren had already disappeared.

Holding the chicken wrapped in lotus leaves, Xu Nian knew that Liang Feng must have gone to the shop to find Zhao Wu.

He stood there for a while, smelling the aroma of glutinous rice chicken at the tip of his nose, and swallowed. After he and Zhao Wu bought this small courtyard and set up a shop, they were quite stretched, and he only saw meat in a few days. once.

Silently wiping the non-existent saliva from the corner of his mouth, Xu Nian put the chicken in the kitchen and went out to continue washing clothes.

When the sun was sinking, Zhao Wu returned to the small courtyard, and two ropes were pulled in the courtyard, and at this moment, two rows of washed clothes were hanging neatly on it.

Zhao Wu saw smoke billowing from the kitchen, she lifted her feet and walked towards the kitchen, and as soon as she entered, she smelled the smell of glutinous rice and chicken, and saw Xu Nian squatting there adding firewood to the stove, and the rice on the stove Porridge is cooking.

The fire was burning under the stove, and the orange flame shone on the side of Xu Nian's face, and hurried towards the mist: "Erlang, you go and rest, I'll just cook."

Only then did Xu Nian get up, and hammered his waist. His waist almost broke after washing clothes all afternoon.

"Didn't I tell you to put the clothes there and wait for me to come back to wash?" Chao Wu walked over to take Xu Nian's place, and said in a broken voice, "It's almost winter, the water is so cold, if it freezes again what would you do."

Having said that, Zhao Wu raised his head and frowned to look at Xu Nian: "Let me see your hand."

Xu Nian quickly put his hands behind his back, Chao Wu stretched out his hand and he dodged, but within three or two times, Chao Wu pulled his hands in front of him.

Xu Nian's originally delicate little hands are now callused and rough on the back of his hands, with small cuts on them. Today, his hands are red and swollen due to soaking in cold water all afternoon.

Zhao Wu's heart was sour, she didn't know what to say, Xu Nian seemed to see that she was sad, and pulled out a hand to cover Chao Wu's hand, and whispered: "Sister, look at your hand is also There are a lot of small cuts, and the palms of your hands are still full of calluses. You are a girl who can endure so much hardship. I am the only boy in the family now. You can't spoil me too much. Our family...is not the same as before."

After a pause, Xu Nian lowered his eyelids, and suddenly smiled slightly: "I will be successful in the future, and I will save a dowry for you at that time. If my sister meets someone she likes in the future, I will definitely let my sister marry gracefully."

Zhao Wu put away the sadness in his heart, let go of his hands and went back to continue cooking. He replied, "I don't want to get married, so I hope you will marry a wife and have a few children. Don't dislike me when the time comes. I will take care of you all my life. You, take care of your doll."

Xu Nian sighed, Zhao Wu still regarded himself as his maid in his heart, loyalty to the Lord is a rare quality, but there is no such thing as Xu Nian and Zhao Wu in this world, Zhao Wu is too stubborn.

"Is there any girl who doesn't want to marry? You just haven't met someone you like yet. When you meet someone, you want to marry!"

Xu Nian relaxed his tone, shook his head and pretended to be innocent, and stared back at Zhao Wu.

Xu Nian ran out grinning: "I think Big Brother Liang is good, he weighed the chicken, I don't think it was for me to eat."

Zhao Wu's face flushed, but then he remembered that Liang Feng was an officer of the Chu State, and his heart became cold again, he lowered his head and forced himself not to think about it.

As night fell, the lights were turned on in the room, Chao Wu and Xu Nian sat at one end, and Liang Feng shyly asked Chao Wu to add a pair of bowls and chopsticks for him at the other end.

Zhao Wu wanted to drive this person out, but Xu Nian had already run to get some bowls and chopsticks for Liang Feng, and Xu Nian said, "I haven't eaten meat for several days, thank you Brother Liang for the chicken."

When Liang Feng heard this, he suddenly felt a little distressed, his eyes floated past a "distressed" meaty look. .

Children are old offenders.

— Just a good beating.

Xu Nian knew what she wanted to do by looking at Chaowu's face, and silently complained in his heart. He reached out and picked up a chicken leg and put it in the Chaowu bowl, and then picked up the other and said politely to Liang Feng: "Brother Liang, eat the chicken leg."

Liang Feng stretched out his chopsticks to block it, and asked Xu Nian to eat it while it was hot. Xu Nian lowered his head and gnawed. He was starting to grow now, and he would wake up hungry in the middle of the night if he didn't eat enough.

"Chun Niang, it's not easy for you to take Erlang with you, so you never thought about finding someone else?"

Liang Feng has been courting since Chaowu settled in the county, but this guy is not very good at talking to girls.

Xu Nian spit out the chicken bones there, feeling a big hole in his heart, you can't help but ask Zhao Wu what he wants, and forget it, wouldn't you put it in a more tactful way, and let the girls answer.

But Zhao Wu is not an ordinary girl. When it comes to kung fu, Liang Feng is definitely not Chao Wu's opponent. Zhao Wu gave Xu Nian a chicken wing, and then calmly replied: "You are from Chu."

Liang Feng can't speak, but he is not dull, and he is even on par with cleverness. Hearing Zhao Wu's words, he understands that the people of Chu died, and the hatred of destroying the country lies between the two.

At this time, Xu Nian spoke quietly, his voice was extremely soft, and the words were extremely interesting, he said: "I changed my household registration at the end of May, and the new law of Chu state stipulates that the land tax will be exempted for three years, and the capable person will be appointed to the position. It even started the unprecedented imperial examination system, and uprooted the corrupt officials in the south of the Yangtze River. At worst, the newly appointed officials have no merit. Now at the end of autumn, you can see the singing and dancing outside. Who remembers the hatred of subjugation? All I care about is whether I can eat enough and put on clothes."

Liang Feng and Chao Wu looked at Xu Nian in amazement, and Xu Nian's voice became softer: "What about Xu Kingdom Chu, the world has no borders, it's nothing more than a game of the superiors."

As soon as these words came out, there was a sense of treason and treason, and everyone in the room was shocked.

Liang Feng was completely stunned. He looked at Xu Nian for a long while, and his voice was extremely serious: "From now on, you must never show the slightest of what you said in front of others!"

Xu Nian pretended not to care, went to eat the chicken wings, and said vaguely, "I just said that because I was close to you."

But he was afraid for a while, why didn't he hold back and said this in front of Liang Feng, originally he just wanted to express that he didn't mind Xu Guo and Chu Guo, and made Zhao Wu think about it, so he said this for a while.

Chao Wu's heart was even more complicated. She looked at Xu Nian in confusion, and after a while, Liang Feng spoke again. He looked at Xu Nian no longer as an adult looking after children, but said solemnly: "Chun Niang Let Erlang go to study, the imperial examination system is implemented, and poor families can produce noble sons."

Zhao Wu opened her mouth, and she heard Liang Feng sigh again: "This son will become a great weapon, the world from now on will not belong to us, but to young people like them."

Xu Nian lowered his head and put down the bowl, ignoring Liang Feng's praise, and ran out, shouting, "I'm full, let's take a stroll in the yard."

Inside the house, Liang Feng persuaded Chaowu to send Xu Nian to study and take the imperial examination.
