wife and husband

Chapter 11

Chu Yunfeng woke up just after dawn in the morning, and even though his movements were very light, Shanzao also woke up.

"Are you going down the mountain so early?" She asked in a daze, her voice slightly hoarse.

Chu Yunfeng turned his head, frowned and said, "The road to the town is not easy, you should stay at home and sleep for a while."

Shanzao rubbed her eyes, cleared her throat, and slowly got up, "I don't want it, I'm going to follow, um..." She yawned a lot and stretched her waist.

Chu Yunfeng tidied up the straw mat and stood up, "Then get up quickly, this place is far from the town."

Shanzao nodded, yawned and put on his shoes, and after Chu Yunfeng went out, he changed into the newly made clothes.Then I washed my face with cold water, and my spirit improved instantly. Seeing Chu Yunfeng carrying a basket of wild animals, she helped carry the water bottle.

Chu Yunfeng put delicious food in Da Mao's bowl, poured water again, rubbed Da Mao's head, and locked the yard with the mountain dates and went out.

The morning in the mountains is always very fresh, the sky is not yet bright, the fog is filled, the road down the mountain is not easy to walk, the grass on the side of the road is covered with dew, the soil is also wet, and the shoes are a bit sticky when stepping on it.

Shanzao rubbed the mud on the grass under the straw sandals, and the wet trousers were tightly stuck to her legs. It was so uncomfortable that she simply bent down and folded the trousers.

Chu Yunfeng looked at her white and tender feet and a small section of bare skin exposed, his eyes flashed, and his face was slightly dark red.

"I told you to stay at home, but you want to come out. It's going to be a difficult road."

Chu Yunfeng watched Shanzao bent down again to take out a few straws from the sandals, and couldn't help mumbling.

Shanzao was very excited, and said as he walked, "It's so boring at home, it's good to go out for a walk, I don't know where this is yet."

Chu Yunfeng smiled slightly, "Isn't it Baiyun Mountain in Baiyun Town? What else could it be? Where were you from before?"

Shanzao picked a long weed and played with it in his hand, "The town I used to live in was called Dahe Town, and our village was called Xiaohe Village. Our village is quite far away from the town, so I got here somehow. We went there, Brother Chu, when do you think they will finish the fight? Will the emperor in the east win? Or the emperor in the west?"

Chu Yunfeng looked into the distance, "The emperor in the east should win."

"Why?"

Shanzao asked curiously.

Chu Yunfeng walked with his head down, silent for a while, and when he raised his head again, his expression was a little unclear, "Because I heard someone say it when I went down the mountain last time."

"Oh." Shanzao nodded.Don't continue this topic anymore, whoever becomes the emperor has only two effects on the common people, one is to survive, and the other is not to survive.Calling back and forth like this now is also an outside matter. Her previous home was not in a good place, so she became like that. Life here has not been greatly affected.

"Brother Chu, do I look good in this dress?"

Shanzao tugged at the clothes on her body and asked a little shyly.

Chu Yunfeng stayed for a while before turning around, nodded, "It looks good, very beautiful."

Shanzao smiled happily, walked a few steps forward, pointed to a few houses not far away and said, "Brother Chu, look quickly, the village is here."

Chu Yunfeng looked at it and nodded, "Well, the village is coming soon, and I usually trade things here."

The two of them quickly entered the small path of the village. Although it was not very bright yet, people were already carrying hoes and preparing to go to the field. Most of them knew Chu Yunfeng and greeted him one after another.

"Orion, come to change things again?"

Chu Yunfeng nodded at them, "Go to town."

These men, in twos and threes, saw Shanzao next to Chu Yunfeng smiling meaningfully. The last time Chu Yunfeng went down the mountain to change clothes and needles, the village had already heard about it. Although he had never seen Shanzao, everyone said Chu Yunfeng has good eyesight, he picked up a dying person and went back to save him, and he was a woman, so now Chu Yunfeng didn't have to be a bachelor anymore.

Seeing the real person of Shanzao now, he couldn't help but to meow at her.

Chu Yunfeng looked down at Shanzao's turned up trouser legs, and couldn't help frowning, "Your shoes are dirty."

When Shanzao saw strangers, she was not as casual as being with Chu Yunfeng. She lowered her head and followed Chu Yunfeng closely, and the eyes of others made her blush. Look, sure enough, some mud and a few slender grass blades were stained on the straw sandals. Most importantly, my bare feet and white ankles were exposed to everyone's eyes.

Shanzao squatted down hurriedly, picked off the grass leaves, flicked off the mud gently, and put down the trouser legs. Although they could not cover the whole feet, they were not exposed as much as before.

Chu Yunfeng's face was a little ugly. He had been wearing straw sandals all the time, and he forgot to get a pair of cloth shoes for Shanzao. It was really bad for a woman's feet to be exposed.

"Orion, what are you going to change this time?"

An older man asked gently.

Chu Yunfeng nodded at him and said, "Uncle Shoucheng, the food at home is gone, so I need to buy some, and I want to buy some sundries."

Uncle Shoucheng put down the hoe on his shoulder, "Then why go into the town? It's such a long road to the town, you can't bear it even if you suffer, my little lady can't stand it. Uncle's family still has some surplus food, and they are going to sell it. What do you think?" You can just change some, today is the tenth day, and the shopkeeper will come at noon to carry the burden, you can buy it together if you see something missing, do you need to go all the way to the city?"

He approached Chu Yunfeng, and said in a low voice, "Da Shuan just came back from the town two days ago and said that the town is under martial law. The officers and soldiers are guarding the city gates, and they will be searched when they enter the city. This little lady...is not going to be searched." It's a loss."

When the war was first fought, the town was under martial law. Some soldiers came here in disorder and had to pay money when they entered the city. When they met young and beautiful girls and wives, they would inevitably be searched all over the place. They said it was a body search. Some money is a small matter, and it will be taken advantage of in vain. The men dare not speak out.Farmers like them who have no money and no power have to knock out their teeth and eat them in their stomachs. Who dares to cause trouble with the government.

Chu Yunfeng knew about these things, and he frowned tightly when he heard this, "How can martial law be enforced?"

Uncle Shoucheng sighed, "I heard that the beating was severe, and the town government issued an order to prevent any bandit chaos, so martial law began."

Chu Yunfeng sighed, Shanzao was listening, and his face turned pale.

There are few people in this village, and they are all kind people. When Uncle Shou Cheng spoke up, he also persuaded him, "Orion, don't go into the city. The town is in chaos. You can exchange what you want in our village. Every household has it." extra."

Chu Yunfeng looked at Shanzao, nodded and said to Uncle Shoucheng, "Okay, then we won't enter the town today."

Uncle Shoucheng nodded, and picked up the hoe again, "Your aunt and the others are at home, you go to my house to sit and sit, and uncle goes to the ground first, and we will talk when we come back at noon."

Chu Yunfeng agreed, and after Uncle Shoucheng and the men got off the ground, he took Shanzao to a family in the west of the village. When he reached the gate of the yard, Chu Yunfeng raised his voice.

"Aunt Shoucheng, are you home?"

"exist--"

A high-pitched female voice came from the room, and after a while, a short, fat woman with a smile on her face came out, and she was overjoyed when she saw Chu Yunfeng, "Auyou, Orion, why are you here?"

Chu Yunfeng told the whole story, and Aunt Shoucheng nodded repeatedly, "That's right, I can't go to town these days, come here, come in and sit, Yingzi, pour water, Orion and his wife are here."

Shanzao blushed, and before she had time to argue, Chu Yunfeng said to her, "Come in."

This is a house with three rooms surrounded by a yard. Some chickens were fed in the yard, and they were clucking and running around in the yard. A dog was tied to a stake next to it, barking when they saw them come in.

"Don't make noise." Along with the voice, a girl came out from the main room, about [-] years old, with two big braids hanging down in front of her, and her face was red.

"Brother Orion, you are here."

Aunt Shoucheng shouted to the girl, "Go and pour water." Turning around, she said to Chu Yunfeng and Shanzao, "Sit in the house." As she walked, she looked at Shanzao with a smile and praised Chu Yunfeng, "The hunter's eyes." That's right, look at this little lady, she has delicate features and looks really handsome."

Only then did Yingzi see Shanzao, her face darkened slightly, and she lowered her head and went back to the house to pour water.

Chu Yunfeng leaned the back basket against the door, and after entering the room, he first pulled a chair for Shanzao, and then he pulled a stool to sit down. Yingzi brought them water, but his expression was still a little dark.

"Brother Orion, drink some water, sister-in-law, drink water too."

She brought the water to Shanzao, and Chu Yunfeng took it with one hand.

"The water is hot, I'll hold it for her first."

Yingzi smiled sullenly, "I'm going into the room, brother Orion, sister-in-law, you sit down first."

Chu Yunfeng nodded, didn't say much, put the water glass by his feet, and said to Shanzao, "Sister Yingzi is the eldest daughter of Uncle Shoucheng, and there are two older brothers on top of her, Dashuan and Ershuan, and a girl on the bottom. It's called Juanzi."

Shanzao nodded, her face was a little red, others regarded her as Chu Yunfeng's daughter-in-law, Chu Yunfeng didn't deny it, her heart was a little bit chubby, and her face was a little hot.

Aunt Shoucheng didn't pay attention to her daughter's expression, just looked at Chu Yunfeng and Shanzao and they couldn't help being happy, "Orion, I said you are really not kind, and you don't tell your aunt about such a big thing as marrying a wife. Why, are you still afraid that your aunt will eat your wedding wine?"

Chu Yunfeng smiled slightly, "What did Auntie say?"

Aunt Shoucheng was even happier, "The newly married couple are thin-skinned, and the young lady didn't say anything, so she was shy. It's just...how did you cut your hair? Orion, didn't you steal them back from some nunnery? ?" She said it casually, joking with Chu Yunfeng, which made Shanzao feel embarrassed.

Shanzao blushed when she heard that, and hurriedly explained, "That's not the case. I was afraid of being caught on the way to escape... so I cut my hair myself."

She briefly talked about her experience along the way, and Aunt Shoucheng sighed, "What a poor child, but it will be better in the future, Orion is a good man, hardworking and caring, you married him , there will be many days of happiness in the future!"
