Chinese dining table

Yin Erhu came out of Xiuniang's room with the door half-closed. Xiuniang wrapped her body in a blanket and held a bulging money bag, and wanted to call him, but Yin Erhu waved his hand and left.

Because it is convenient for the next person to enter, there is no need to close the door.

At this time, it was already dark, and the gate of Jinchangfang had been closed long ago, so he couldn't get in.

Therefore, he didn't leave Guangfufang either, and sat on the steps of the newly built new house here, looking up at the moon like a fishhook.

After sitting for a while, feeling bored, he threw a piece of licorice into his mouth, slowly squeezing the sweetness inside.

The sweetness of licorice is not too pure, it is soft and feels good.

The owner of the new house stood at the door and glanced at him and said, "Can you sit in front of my house?"

Without arguing, Yin Erhu got up and sat down on the steps in front of another new house. Soon, a woman's timid voice came from behind the door.

"My husband is not here, and there is only a woman at home. Can you sit somewhere else, don't ruin my reputation."

Yin Erhu stood up again, patted the dirt on his buttocks, looked around, and found that he had nowhere to go.

Looking at the high ground wall, Yin Erhu spit on the palm of his hand, ready to use the momentum to climb up.

So, he ran a few steps quickly, stomped on the wall with both feet, and just grabbed the wall of the square wall with both hands.

Just when he was about to use his arms to lift himself up to the wall, a woman said from below: "I will be caught by bad people."

Yin Erhu looked down, it turned out to be Xiu Niang, this time she was wearing clothes, fortunately, there was still a waning moon illuminating her face.

"The guest gave you a lot of money. If you don't mind it, you can stay overnight until dawn and then go back."

Yin Erhu let go of his hands, let his body fall freely, and then stood firmly on the ground. Xiuniang didn't say much, and walked in front with her head lowered. Yin Erhu followed behind, walking neither hurriedly nor slow.

When I came to Xiuniang's door again, there was a drunk man guarding the door. Seeing that Xiuniang had returned, he grabbed Xiuniang's hand and said, "Where did you go? My grandpa has been waiting for a long time."

After scolding Xiuniang, he smiled at Yin Erhu: "Brother, the one who came first, you have to wait. I guess it will be over in an hour or two."

Xiu Niang was pinched very tightly by the drunk, she didn't dare to struggle, like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

With the sound of the wind, Yin Erhu's fist hit the drunk man's stomach heavily, and the drunk man's body immediately bent into a prawn.

Yin Erhu took the drunk and carefully placed him in the special garbage place in Guangfufang and Jinchangfang, making him face down so that he would not be choked to death by his own vomit in a coma.

Xiu Niang looked at Yin Erhu in horror and said: "Chi An is very fierce, if you wake up tomorrow, I will beat you to death."

Yin Erhu glanced at Chi An and said, "He's very drunk, don't look like he's sober, but he doesn't remember anything now."

Xiuniang opened the door half-believingly, and let Yin Erhu in. This time, Yin Erhu refused to enter her room, but sat down on a big rock, and said to Xiuniang, "I don't have any money, so I just sit in the courtyard and wait for the next day." Dawn, if you don't have any business tonight, go to bed."

"You gave a lot of money just now." Xiu Niang whispered.

"That's also the last account." Yin Erhu's voice was very flat, and no change in tone could be heard.

Watching the moon is one of Yin Erhu's usual hobbies. Seeing that Yin Erhu was ignoring her, Xiuniang entered the house cautiously. She wanted to close the door, but somehow she opened it again, and said to Yin Erhu: " If you feel cold, come in."

The air in Guangfufang is not good, not even as good as Jinchangfang where people come and go, mainly because of the trees in Jinchangfang, there are too many bamboo forests, but there are very few trees in Guangfufang.

When the moon is very round, there are no other stars around it. Only when the moon is crescent like a hook, will you find that there is actually a very bright star around it.

Yin Erhu stared at the star for a long time, and finally closed his eyes, trying to calm down his trembling hands.

The master said that there will be a fierce battle in the future, and everyone who can be killed will be killed, and they must not fall into the enemy's hands.

Yin Erhu didn't think there was anything wrong with such an order. In the past two and a half years, the master had indeed treated him very well.

At least he treats himself better than those in the army. He has no shortage of money and food, and has no worries about food and clothing, but it's boring.

Yin Erhu knew that something might be wrong with him, because he had no other thoughts besides fighting.

Although he didn't know who the enemy the day after tomorrow was going to face, Yin Erhu still hoped that the day after tomorrow would come soon.

As for who to kill, he really didn't think it was very important. Two and a half years of offerings were worth his life to do anything.

Just when Yin Erhu was a little impatient, the door opened again, and Xiu Niang came out with a big pottery bowl.

"I made some soup cakes, would you like some?"

Yin Erhu smelled a sour aroma. This is the soup cake made in the canteen of Jinchangfang. However, they don't call it soup cake, they call it sour soup noodles.

He took the big bowl, which was filled with a lot of noodles and covered with a layer of green garlic. It tasted good, but there was very little diced meat on it.

Seeing Yin Erhu started to eat, Xiu Niang smiled and said, "I went to Jinchangfang to take the maid examination, but the cook said that the soup cakes I made were not good, so I was not selected."

Yin Erhu paused and said: "Don't listen to that woman's nonsense, she wants to stuff her relatives in as a cook, you will naturally lose the election, your soup cakes are very good, enough to go to the big cafeteria as a cook."

After hearing Yin Erhu's words, Xiuniang was a little surprised, and said happily, "Really?"

Yin Erhu took another mouthful of noodles and said, "Really, the noodles in the big cafeteria are all supported by oil and water. In terms of taste, they are far worse than your soup cakes."

Xiu Niang squatted down with a smile and looked up at Yin Erhu who was eating, and said, "Nonsense, how can I compare with the cook in the big dining hall?"

Yin Erhu shook his head and said, "I eat in the canteen every day, how could I not know?"

Xiu Niang enviously said: "You eat it every day?"

Yin Erhu thought for a while, then took out three bamboo chips from his pocket and handed them to Xiu Niang, saying, "You can go to the canteen of Jinchangfang to try tomorrow, one bamboo chip can eat a lot of things, just try it out and you'll know. "

Xiu Niang took this oily and slippery bamboo chip, looked at it again and again, and finally said in doubt: "I heard that the emperor often goes to Jinchangfang, and so do the nobles, so can a person like me go to Jinchangfang? "

Yin Erhu smiled and said: "If you have two pennies and put it in the iron box at the door, you can go in with a big swagger.

Of course, if you don’t want to pay two pennies, you can go in by pretending to be a beggar, and you can also eat the leftovers left by the guests. The taste is not bad, and the most important thing is that there is enough oil and water. . "

Xiu Niang said indignantly: "You're talking nonsense again, who's back kitchen will give oily and watery meals to beggars."

Yin Erhu laughed and said: "Really, I have eaten it before. The cook may have seen that I am thick, so she gave me a bowl of noodles, and there was a half-bitten fat meat in it. You don't know, the fat The meat was cooked so fragrant and sticky that it melted as soon as I licked it with my tongue. I still don’t understand how such good meat would be thrown away.”

"You don't look like a beggar..."

"Three years ago, I got a serious illness. My family was afraid that my disease would spread to other people, so they threw me on a mass grave, where I confronted a wolf for three days, and I survived.

I slowly climbed down the mass grave, and spent two months with beggars. I was in a panic all the time, so I went to the back kitchen of the big cafeteria to beg for food. Unexpectedly, it was the leftovers in the big cafeteria that forced me to recover my body. up. "

"Are you still a beggar?"

"It's not right, do something else now."

Before he knew it, Yin Erhu ate up a big bowl of noodles, and when he returned the empty bowl to Xiuniang, he realized that this might be the only bowl of rice he had.

Xiu Niang said with a smile: "I eat a small amount, so it doesn't matter if I don't eat. It's better to talk to you more than to eat."

"Is no one talking to you?"

"My grandparents passed away, and after my younger brother joined the army, no one would talk to me properly after I did what I do now.

It doesn't matter if they don't talk to me, I am looking forward to the day when Jinchangfang will tear down this small courtyard of my house and replace it with a two-story building for me. It is also good to marry a wife and have children.

At that time, I will stop doing my current job and take care of my brother's children. "

Yin Erhu was stunned for a moment, and asked cautiously: "Is your younger brother a soldier in that Zhechong Mansion?"

"Qizhou Zhechong Mansion, oh, he is not a mansion soldier, he told me when he left, let me wait for him to come back, and after he has made military achievements, he can give me a dowry."

Yin Erhu lowered his head and listened to Xiuniang chattering to him. He knew that Xiuniang's younger brother probably wouldn't come back. , that battle was extremely tragic, and the Zhechong Mansion in Qizhou was under the command of the general manager of the Congling March.

"Hehe, when your brother comes back, you can get married."

"Will anyone like me be willing to take it? As long as brother doesn't dislike him, I will live with him for the rest of my life.

At that time, he will definitely have a lot of children, and I will help them take care of the children and cook. The couple will work hard to make money, and they will never live such a hard life again. "

Yin Erhu couldn't figure it out himself, he, who usually doesn't bother to say a word, was able to talk to a prostitute who had half-closed the door for a whole night...

At dawn, when he walked out of Xiuniang's house, he found that Chi An had woken up, was ripping off his clothes, staring at a clear fist mark on his stomach in a daze.

So, Yin Erhu stepped forward again, grabbed Chi An's collar, mustered all his strength, and punched Chi An's stomach seven or eight times in succession.

It wasn't until Chi An began to vomit blood from his mouth and had obvious signs of internal injury that he let go of his hand, seeing Chi An limply on the ground, he felt that he would lie on the bed for at least a month or two before getting up.

Only then did I leave Guangfufang with peace of mind.

After going back this time, he felt that he still had to make more preparations, so as not to die in the battle arranged by the master.

That woman is really pitiful. My brother didn't even know he died in battle. It would be nice to chat with her again if I have a chance.
