Wuhu Mingyue

On December 311, 21 A.D., at dusk, it was drizzling, and a certain village on the border of Xiangcheng County was already full of smoke from cooking

"Xin'er his mother, come here and enjoy the fire, don't look outside, the cold wind in this mother's feet is going to freeze you to death!" (Pingdingshan City, Henan Province used to belong to Xiangcheng County, and this The sentence "a foot in a mother" is a classic local dialect.)

But Cuihua, who was obviously restless, seemed to have not heard it at all, and kept looking around outside the door.

"Xin'er his mother!?"

Cuihua trembled all over, and quickly closed the wooden door subconsciously, then turned her head in panic and looked at the slightly sullen mother-in-law

The mother-in-law glared at Cuihua who was full of hesitation, but she didn't criticize too much, she just called the two "little monkey cubs" who were hiding behind her to come out quickly

"Hey! He robbed me!"

"This is what I saw first! It's mine!"

The two little "skin monkeys" were completely unaware of the restlessness and uneasiness in their mother's eyes, and they continued to quarrel nonsense relying on their grandmother's doting

Cuihua's face turned red and white, white and red again, and she almost couldn't bear to teach these two ignorant kids in front of her mother-in-law

But as long as she thinks that Da Niu is still alive and dead at this moment, she will never be able to summon up the energy to reprimand these two treasures who have been spoiled by her mother-in-law for a long time.

"Mom, Brother Big Niu, why hasn't he come back yet?"

"Maybe I met some old acquaintance on the way back, so I was dragged back and said a few more words."

"Mother! Who would drag him to talk about something in this rainy day?!"

The mother-in-law's face turned pale, and there was an inexplicable fear in her eyes, her chapped lips moved a few times, but she couldn't say any more comforting words

Cuihua couldn't help feeling a little more guilty on her face, but she couldn't suppress the anxiety in her heart, so she could only turn around and rubbed her eye sockets that were about to burst, for fear that if she couldn't help it, she would burst into tears

The atmosphere in the house instantly became extremely depressing.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law fell into a long silence at the same time.

The wind and rain outside the house are still blowing against the thin wooden door

The sparks in the fire pit in the house are also constantly "crackling"

The two children were playing around unconsciously, their eyes still staring at the steaming pot on the fire pit from time to time

The mother-in-law couldn't bear to look at the two children who had been hungry for a long time. She was about to ask the two children to eat something to fill their stomachs first, but she didn't want Cuihua to say something out of the blue

"Mother, during the day, I heard people say that Yan County is not peaceful recently."

"Bah, bah, bah! Those who celebrate the Chinese New Year, don't say such unlucky things! We are far away from Yan County, and our new county magistrate, Mr. Xun, is also a person who loves the people like a son. He even posted the Anmin notice in the county seat a few days ago. , he will never let those wandering thieves break into our Xiangcheng County."

"Mother! Those are not thieves, they are the Huns who just burned, killed and looted from Xingyang County. I heard that the leader is Shi Le, the beast who killed tens of thousands of people in Ku County! I heard that his subordinates Those barbarians especially like to eat us Central Plains people.”

The mother-in-law's face immediately turned extremely pale, and even her eyes became flustered

"Milk! I'm afraid!"

"Grandma! Why hasn't my father come back yet?! I'm so scared!"

The mother-in-law hurriedly hugged her two terrified little grandsons, then calmly comforted them, and gently patted their trembling little bodies

"Or let me go outside to have a look again?!"

"Nonsense! This is a mess! Our house is already at the entrance of the village. If Daniel comes back, he will call the door at the first time! If you run out again, in case something happens."

The mother-in-law's eyes turned red, and she couldn't help sobbing

Cuihua started crying when she saw her mother-in-law, and the sound of wind and rain outside made her nose sore, and she started crying together

"Bang" sound!

The door that hadn't been bolted was kicked open immediately.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and the two little dolls suddenly screamed together

"What are you yelling for?! Mother! Cuihua! I'm back! Don't yell! Don't lure all the villagers here! Hurry up! Come here and help! See what good things I brought back for you?!"

"Wow"!

Cuihua threw herself directly into Daniel's arms, her small fists kept hammering on Daniel's solid chest

"Hahaha! Look, you two are scared! The Huns are far away from our village! Stop making trouble, and help clean it up! Mother! My son hit a wild boar, and if it attracts people, If we can’t do it, we’ll have to go out! Hurry up! Close the door! Haha! We can have pork for Chinese New Year!”

Without saying a word, Daniel unloaded the dead wild boar on his shoulders to the ground

Cuihua immediately helped Daniel take off his coir raincoat, closed the door, and then directly wiped the rainwater off Daniel's face with his sleeve

Daniu looked at the affectionate Cuihua with a happy face, as if his heart had been wiped with honey

The children cheered and jumped at the wild boar on the ground!

One is pulling out the tusks of a wild boar, wishing to take it for himself

A general who sits directly on a wild boar and looks like a galloping battlefield

The mother-in-law was amused by the two children, especially looking at the affectionate appearance of Daniu and Cuihua, she felt that there was no happier time in the world than this moment

Soon after

Daniel personally brought a bowl of hot pork soup, and carefully handed it to his mother

The mother-in-law's face was filled with happiness, and she cheerfully blew a few breaths on the broth in the bowl, and then took a small sip

the sweet smell of meat

The sweet taste like a dream

What a wonderful day in this troubled world

"Xin'er! Drink slowly!"

"Yi'er! Don't burn it!"

But right now!

A loud bang!

Five or six drenched Jie people directly kicked open the door of the house, and broke into the cozy hut with a knife in hand.

Daniel immediately got up to get the knife, but he didn't expect that one of the Jie people had already strode up and chopped off his arm with a knife!

"what!!!"

Daniu clutched the gap of his severed arm in pain, but he didn't want to slash him on the neck again

"Plop"!

Daniel widened his empty eyes unwillingly, and fell down in front of Cuihua and the children covered in blood.

Seeing that Daniel was dead, the other Jie people threw Cuihua on the ground, and started tearing her clothes without saying a word! (to be continued)
