Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 8141 Goodbye
Luo Fengtang glanced at the half steamed bun in her hand, "I can't eat it, you eat it."

Yang Ruoqing pursed her lips and smiled, "I still don't know your appetite? You have to eat two, and you have to help me eat half of the piece of meat in my hand. I have a small appetite."

Luo Fengtang refused to eat, and the two pushed back and forth.

Xiang Shengnan next to him was the weakest. After eating two pieces of venison and drinking a few mouthfuls of hot water, he curled up on the haystack beside the fire and fell asleep with his cape on.

Lao Zhang's son also ate and drank enough to snuggle up in Lao Zhang's arms and sleep soundly. Lao Zhang was still awake, smiling and watching the two of them pushing back and forth, wanting each other to eat more. Lao Zhang's eyes were full of envy .

In the past, he and his wife came here in the same way. They went to work in the tea garden together. They went there in the morning and returned home after dark, bringing enough dry food and tea for the day.

When the two sat in the tea tree ditch eating dry food at noon, they pushed back and forth in the same way.

A steamed bun is tasteless if eaten by one person, but it is delicious when two people break it apart and eat it separately.

However, this time he finally escaped with his son, but his wife was not there, and her body and grave were still left in Nanshan Village. Thinking of this, I felt regret after all.

"Come on, Lao Zhang, have a drink."

When Lao Zhang was secretly sad, a wine jar was handed to him, and it was Luo Fengtang who sat down.

Lao Zhang likes wine, but he is ashamed to drink wine from his benefactor, it should be right for him to buy wine to honor his benefactor...

"Thank you, thank you, I won't drink..."

Luo Fengtang pulled off the lid of the wine and pushed it in front of Lao Zhang, "Take a few sips to keep you warm."

The aroma of the wine was alluring, Lao Zhang hesitated for a moment, thanked him again, and just took a few mouthfuls from the wine jar.

It was hot, really exciting, and the blood all over his body immediately became hot.

"Old Zhang, what are your plans when you go back?"

At night, Luo Fengtang couldn't sleep, and while Yang Ruoqing and the others were resting, he ran to chat with Lao Zhang.

Lao Zhang smiled bitterly, lowered his eyes and said, "The mother-in-law is gone, what can I do? Father and son depend on each other for life, let's raise our son!"

"Is there an elderly person at home?" Luo Fengtang asked again.

Lao Zhang shook his head: "My side is gone, her side, my father-in-law and mother-in-law were still there when we disappeared, and now more than ten years have passed, and I don't know if they are still there."

Luo Fengtang frowned, it was really hard to say.

He patted Lao Zhang on the shoulder: "Life has to go on, and your son is still counting on you."

Old Zhang nodded silently.

Yes, for the sake of his son, he also has to hold on.

Isn't it just to take my son out of that ghostly place, let him grow up healthy and normal, marry a daughter-in-law in the future, start a family and start a business, and continue the incense for the old Zhang family?

"This wine is good, this meat is also delicious, you two are better people!"

Lao Zhang raised the wine jar in his hand to Luo Fengtang, "I respect you!"

……

The crowd had enough to eat and drink, and they snuggled up to the fire and dozed off in groups of three or four.

Luo Fengtang went over to check on Xiang Shengnan's situation, then returned to Yang Ruoqing's side, and gently hugged her into his arms to sleep.

and wrapped her in his cloak.

Yang Ruoqing opened her eyes when she was in a drowsy sleep, and saw his familiar jaw, the corners of his lips curled up, crawling into his arms like a cat and falling into a deep sleep.

Since his accident, she hadn't had a good night's sleep, and tonight beside the campfire in the mountains was the most solid sleep she had.

After waking up from sleep, full of energy, everyone shared the remaining venison from last night, and then continued on the road.

After crossing two more mountain ridges, people began to part ways with the main force one after another.

Before everyone left, they would kneel and kowtow to Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang, thanking them for saving them from the flames.

Lao Zhang and his son were the last to say goodbye to them.

Old Zhang's eyes were red, and there were faint tears.

"Thank you for your kindness, two benefactors, benefactors, my house is behind the mountain ridge over there, if you come here as guests one day, you must come to my house, so that I can fulfill the friendship of the landlord!"

Luo Fengtang nodded with a smile, "I haven't finished drinking last night's wine, I'll continue to drink when the time comes."

Old Zhang was full of anticipation.

On the other hand, Yang Ruoqing bent down to touch the child's head, and whispered something into the child's ear. The child stared at Yang Ruoqing in a daze, his little hands clenched into fists, and he looked a little embarrassed.

Yang Ruoqing stood up straight, touched the child's head, turned and returned to Luo Fengtang's side, "Let's go!"

Luo Fengtang nodded, and walked over to carry Katsuo on his shoulders again.

Xiang Shengnan said: "Brother-in-law, I have regained some strength, and I can walk by myself."

Luo Fengtang looked at Xiang Shengnan.

Yang Ruoqing walked over and said, "Your face is still ugly, so don't be brave."

Xiang Shengnan smiled weakly, "I can really walk, but I just walk slower."

It's not easy for brother-in-law, it's not good to let him carry it all the time.

Luo Fengtang then said to Xiang Shengnan: "Then I will hold you up and give you strength. When you can't hold on anymore, just speak up, and I will carry you again!"

"Ah."

In this way, the three of them parted ways with Lao Zhang and his son at the intersection.

Lao Zhang and his son stood at the intersection and looked into the distance until Yang Ruoqing and the three of them disappeared completely. Then Lao Zhang sighed and stroked his son's hair, "Let's go too, Dad will take you home..."

The son tugged on Lao Zhang's cuff, raised his head and said, "Father, that aunt gave me this."

In the palm of the son's outstretched hand, there was a piece of silver.

Lao Zhang took the silver and reckoned it would be five taels.

The benefactor gave their father and son so much money because he was worried that they would not be able to gain a foothold without the help of their relatives when they returned to the village where they had been away for more than ten years?

The corners of Lao Zhang's eyes became moist in an instant, he dragged his son and staggered forward, trying to catch up with Yang Ruoqing and the others in the direction they left...

After all, he failed to catch up.

"Son, you have to remember what they look like. When you grow up in the future, we must seize the opportunity to repay them!"

The son seemed to understand but nodded.

Lao Zhang stopped and looked in the direction where Yang Ruoqing and the others left for a long time, until the mountain wind made his cheeks hurt, he just rubbed his face, took his son's hand, turned and walked in the opposite direction.

"Let's go son, dad will take you back to your hometown."

With these five taels of silver by their side, when they return to their hometown village, their father and son will more or less not starve to death, and they can still find ways to make a small living.

……

Xiang Shengnan's physical fitness is indeed better than yesterday, it seems that venison is really a great tonic for men.

He walked for two full hours before letting Luo Fengtang carry him on his back. Although he didn't walk very fast before that, he never stopped.

In his own words, now, he can't wait to grow his wings and fly home, so that he can see Xiaoduo and Jiaojiao sooner.

Even if they go home earlier with a bowl of tea, they can spend less time worrying about a bowl of tea.

In addition, every time he took an extra step forward, he was one step away from Nanshan Village. As long as he could get further and further away, his heart would become more and more at ease.
