Chapter 558 Da Liu Village Idiot

A section of the way back was flooded and difficult to walk, so we had to take a detour. As a result, we were unable to reach Ningzhou before dark, and it was not suitable to go to the exile village in the middle of the night, so a few people searched nearby. I went to a village and wanted to stay overnight.

It was also a coincidence that this village was Da Liu Village, which was the village where the Liu family lived when Wang San was sold by the Zhao family.

The family where Tao Zhen and the others stayed was a mother and son. The son was a farmer and looked honest. The mother was old but very enthusiastic. This was the real simple farmer Tao Zhen had seen since traveling through time.

The life of mother and son is really poor. It is not an exaggeration to say that the family is living in poverty. In the past, Tao Zhen always thought that the people in the exile village were very poor, but when he saw them, he realized that at least there were paid "regular workers" in the exile village, and Aunt Liu Both mother and son are hard-working farmers who truly depend on the weather for their livelihood.

Li Huidao: "Why don't they go to the city to find work?"

Lin Shu has the best say on this point. Before meeting Tao Zhen, the work he could do was either copying books or setting up a stall at the entrance of the academy to sell some things. The former was because he was literate, while the latter was full of uncertainty. Take selling bucket hats as an example. It is possible to lose money or make money. For people who have lived in such a village all their lives, going out means unfamiliarity and risks. It is also very difficult for them to go out from a comfortable and familiar place. hard.

Li Hui sighed: "In this way, we can't simply say bad things in the exile village."

Aunt Liu prepared a room for them. For peasants like them, there were only two rooms. Aunt Liu and Tao Zhen had one room. The rest of them would definitely not be able to fit in. Pei Zhan said he slept in the carriage, and Li Hui could sleep anywhere. , also slept with him in the carriage.

Tao Zhen asked Aunt Liu about the family named Liu. Aunt Liu said: "You said that their family originally bought a descendant from the exile village, but the descendant seemed to be dead or sick. Anyway, there was trouble. It didn't work several times, so they bought one back from Ren Yazi."

Aunt Liu pointed to her head: "It's not a good place for that young man. The Liu family dislikes it, but they married this young man just to carry on the family line. As long as there is nothing wrong with his body."

Aunt Liu sighed: "This family is not human. After the young man came in, several girls disliked him. They disliked him for being a fool and no one wanted him. The eldest girl even had an affair with several boys in the village. The young man still didn't like it. He was beaten and scolded all day long, and was not given food in the middle of winter. He was made to kneel in the snow. He was simply not a human being. He was a good child. He looked quite upright when he came here, but now he is tortured to the point of being out of shape. ."

Tao Zhen frowned.

Aunt Liu added: "Everyone in the village said that it is not the fault of the Liu family for not having a son. This is all retribution."

Tao Zhen fell asleep quickly after listening to Aunt Liu's ramble. However, not long after she fell asleep, she heard the sound of chickens flying and dogs jumping in the village. Tao Zhen woke up in a daze, and Aunt Liu had already put on her clothes and went out. Tao Zhen also put on his clothes, yawned and went out together.

"on fire!"

"Quickly put out the fire!"

Most of the villagers got up. Aunt Liu's son took the bucket and ran outside without saying a word.

Aunt Liu glanced at the village and said worriedly: "It's the old Liu family. I don't know what happened."

Li Hui and the others also followed. Tao Zhen stood at the door and saw fire shooting into the sky in the distance.

These days, everyone lives in adobe houses with not much thatch, but firewood is piled outside every house.Even with everyone's best efforts, the fire was put out in the middle of the night.

In the distance came the discussion of villagers and the cries of women and children.

Aunt Liu's son also came back soon, with a sad look on his face: "Old Uncle Liu's house has been burned down. Fortunately, everyone has come out."

Aunt Liu said: "It's good as long as everything is fine. It's fine as long as everything is fine. Why did it catch on fire when everything was fine?"

"I heard that a fool set the fire." Aunt Liu's son said: "Old Uncle Liu was cursing people, saying that he wanted to kill the fool if he caught him, and he didn't know where he went."

The mother and son said a few words, and it was getting late, so they went to sleep.

Because of what happened yesterday, Tao Zhen didn't sleep well. Li Hui and Pei Zhan didn't sleep at all. Only Lin Shu slept very well. He didn't wake up despite the big noise like the fire yesterday.

Aunt Liu was enthusiastic and got up early to cook some food for them. Although they were all meals with clear soup and little water, they all came from hard times and no one was picky. When they left, Tao Zhen put some food under Aunt Liu's pillow. Some silver.Before dawn, everyone set off. When they were about to reach Ningzhou, the carriage suddenly stopped, and Lin Shu jumped out of the carriage with a look of horror.

"There's...someone!"

Tao Zhen also got out of the car and saw Li Hui holding a person by the collar and throwing him over.

From the appearance, Tao Zhen could no longer tell the appearance of this man. He only knew that he looked very young, but his body and face were covered with dirt. He was wearing a thin and worn-out clothes, and his exposed skin was covered with dirt. Scars big and small.

After being thrown to the ground by Li Hui, he looked at everyone in horror, hiding back, making a wild beast-like cry from his throat.

Lin Shu didn't know what happened last night and was shocked: "Where did he come from?"

Tao Zhen said: "That fool from Lao Liucun."

She turned to look at everyone: "What should we do now?"

Lin Shu: "Send it back, otherwise what else can we do?"

When the fool heard that he was about to be sent back, he suddenly got angry and ran away. However, Li Hui reacted quickly and caught him.

"If he is sent back, he will definitely be beaten to death." Li Hui said in a deep voice.

Lin Shu was startled and frowned slightly: "What should we do? We can't take it back."

Tao Zhen didn't pay attention for a moment. Take him back. This man is stupid, and he also set fires. He may be a dangerous person, but it's not good to throw him away. Send him back to Daliu Village, that is, let him go back to die.

No matter how you think about it.

Pei Zhan suddenly said: "Take it back and let me have a look. Maybe it can be cured."

Lin Shu was a little surprised. When did his brother Pei become so caring?

But now that the matter was resolved, Lin Shu said nothing.

Mrs. Pei had just sent Pei Heng to the academy. When she came back, she saw Tao Zhen and the others, and a smile instantly appeared on her face.

"You sit down and I'll cook for you."

Mrs. Pei looked happy and was about to go to the kitchen. Li Hui said quickly: "Auntie, I want to go back to the exile village to see my parents, so I won't stay for dinner."

After that, he left in a hurry.

Lin Shu also stood up: "Auntie, I have to go back to see my dad. It's getting late, so I'll leave first, otherwise I won't be able to catch up."

After saying hello to Tao Zhen and Pei Zhan, he quickly ran away.

Tao Zhen “…”

Pei Zhan “…”
