Chapter 171 Mother and Daughter

He walked to the yard, poured another bowl of warm water from the clay pot, and then quietly put it on the kang.

Then, while sighing in my heart, he carried the clay pot back to the outer room. After doing this, he felt his face hot and his back itchy, so he simply walked to the gate of the yard to look at the horse.

When Baima saw him, he sniffed and rubbed his head against his face. Li Bochen scratched his neck and said, "Oh, Brother Ma, I'm so stupid."

After saying these words, he vaguely heard a low sob from the house, and hurriedly listened. But Lin Qiao seemed to have heard nothing outside the yard, so she quickly suppressed the sound.

Li Bochen felt even more distressed. When he thought about it, he realized that Lin Qiao had almost caused trouble for him along the way, and never asked him how to arrange her. Any man should praise her "understand" when he saw her like this. But how did she come from this understanding? She learned it in the joyful place for so many years, swallowing tears in her heart.

When I said that apologizing just now, I was indeed sincere. But I also knew that this sentence alone really couldn't make up for anything.

In normal times, I might be able to find some ways to pay for my respects, but now in this deserted village and wild shop, can I still find a bouquet of dried flowers to apologize? Moreover, that kind of thing may not work. Although Lin Qiao has been in the dust for many years, her awesomeness in her heart should not be completely damaged, otherwise she would not have given up so much money immediately and agreed to go with her.

For such a woman, if she acts like a low-key manner and is trying to make her happy, she will look down on her.

Li Bochen sighed again, untied the long sword from Zhangshanjun's cave from the side of the horse, and walked into the house with it.

He was embarrassed to look at her again, and stared at the water bowl on the kang and said, "...Miss Lin, it's my fault. You were sick and made me angry again. I want to do this - we will spend the night here today, waiting for you to take care of your health."

He put the long knife on the kang again: "There should be no one nearby, but I will put this knife here. I will go out to find something and come back soon - do you think this is OK?"

Lin Qiao whispered: "Okay, Brother Li."

She stopped crying at this time, but her voice was hoarse and her nasal sound was very heavy. This was even more uncomfortable than her scolding herself.

Li Bochen sighed softly and said, "There are some foods outside and there are fires. If you get cold, go and roast the fire... I'll go back."

After saying that, he turned around and left the house and led the white horse to the yard and tied it up.

He planned to get some things Lin Qiao should need. When he came, he came down the road and headed to the west. This time he also planned to continue walking west along the stream. There might be villages, market towns, etc. in that direction, but there were mountainous areas in that direction, so he would simply not take them.

He took out the pair of iron gloves from the horse's back and put them on, and strode out of the door.

In fact, he was not slower than a horse in the mountains and fields, and his strength was better than a horse. He soon arrived at the top of the wolf hunting mountain before, lifted the wolf corpse and carried it on his back, and ran down.

In about a quarter of an hour, I got out of the mountains and forests and saw a meadow in the distance. When I came, I followed the stream flowed through the meadow. The weeds were reflected by the sun, and it was golden. The stream was winding in it, which was very beautiful. When Li Bochen saw this scene, he saw the sky blue and clear blue, and finally felt a little relieved.

He walked in the meadow for another time, suddenly said, thinking, forget it, I am a man, why should I be so squeamish? It is true that I was wrong when I said a bastard, but if I couldn't even wipe my face in front of her, wouldn't she be even more uncomfortable with her daughter's family? When I go back later, it's better to be more ordinary. As for apology and apology... what does she want the most?

What women in this world want most is a safe and happy life. If you want to live a stable life, you have to follow the right person and have money.

I am a person... I seem to be marrying her. But the two should not be suitable. It’s not that I “disliked” her once in a state of chaos, but that I was in danger and had trouble. How could I tell her to live a good life? Even if I have this idea, I won’t be able to do it now.

That's money. But now she only has more than 3,000 yuan. Judging from her daily food, clothing and expenses, she can't even hold on for a month. She may not like money... But since she said she wanted to buy a "little village" before... If she really could build a small village for her, she would have a place to settle down.

Before, it was considered that such a farm was worth a huge amount of millions of dollars, but Li Bochen thought about it and felt that he was not unable to get the money.

How can we get the fastest money in this world? Of course, it is to rob him. He doesn't rob ordinary people, but he can rob the bandits and bandits. The number of bandits in Sanguan City is large, and although several squads are combined, the family should have more than a hundred people. Look at the third place in the village, "Chuangdatian", which is actually wearing heavy armor and a tall horse. I think these bandits are in stock.

Those people do evil in Sanguan City, but they can copy their hometowns [Biquge www.biqugeso.info], wouldn’t it be easy to get millions of dollars?

When he thought about it this way, he felt more wonderful and felt more relaxed. He couldn't help laughing, and raised his head and let out a long whistle, which made a large group of tits fly up from the meadow.

After passing through this meadow, he really saw a small path in the forest. He ran along the way and walked out of the forest. Finally, he saw people. But it was not a village or a market town, but a few households scattered under a hillside. Several fields were opened in a gravel beach at the foot of the mountain, which seemed not enough for a household to eat for half a year.

There should be nothing to buy or replace like this kind of family. Li Bochen felt a little disappointed, but he still slowed down and walked over with the wolf corpse.

The wooden door of a closer house was closed, and Li Bochen knocked on the door, but no one responded. He thought that the person was not at home, so he planned to go to another house, but when he walked past the window, he seemed to hear a slight sound inside, so he stopped and whispered: "Disturbate, is there anyone in the house?"

The people inside didn't speak. Perhaps it was because the woman was at home. It was common for her to dare not speak when she saw a stranger in this place. He said, "I came from Sanguan City and settled on the road. I had the disadvantages of eating, drinking and daily necessities. I want to buy some for sale-"

He shook the cloth bag around his waist again, and called the copper coins inside to make a rustling sound: "It's not in vain."

No one said anything. After a while, when he sighed and was about to leave, the wooden door creaked and opened a crack. A little girl showed her face behind the door and said timidly: "My mother asks you what you want."

After saying this, the little girl seemed to see the armor he was wearing and her eyes immediately widened, but she was not afraid, but she seemed very curious.

Li Bochen squatted down and smiled, saying, "Ask your mother, if there is rice, noodles, clothes and bedding at home."

The girl immediately dodged from behind the door. She forgot to close the door, and the crack in the door became bigger. Li Bochen saw in front of the house that was really barely barbed, with no stove. She only built a fire pit with stones, and a black-burned pot was built on it. She also heard the girl talking to another woman in the room, but her voice was very light and she couldn't hear clearly.

After a while, the little girl returned to the door and said, "My grandma said there is a straw mattress and two pancakes."

Just as Li Bochen was about to speak, she had already lost two pieces of dry cakes. He heard another rustling sound, and pushed a broken mattress out of the crack of the door.

Those two pieces of dry cakes seemed to be edible, but the patches on the mattress were filled with patches, and I could no longer see what they originally looked like.

Another bang, the little girl closed the door.

Li Bochen was stunned and thought to himself what this means?

Then he found that the mattress was broken, but it was very clean. He frowned slightly and reached out to touch it. He found that it was warm and it must be the one who was cushioned by the family. He immediately understood what was going on-the-something-maybe the girl told her mother about her appearance.

A strong man in armor appeared outside the house and said kindly that he wanted to buy some food, drink and daily necessities... The genius believed.

He thought of himself as a bandit. Perhaps there were indeed only two cakes in the house and a broken mattress, so he quickly "supported" them all. Li Bochen felt uncomfortable and remembered the little girl's appearance. Her slender body supported her big head, and she was not wearing clothes, but two pieces of rags sewn together. I don't know how cold it is in this weather. This family is living too hard.

He sighed softly, placed the wolf corpse at the door, took another silver stolen and placed it in front of the door. He was about to leave, but after thinking about it, he touched more than a dozen copper coins and put them on the silver stolen-I don’t know if the family had seen silver before, and they couldn’t recognize what they were doing.

He said again: "Thank you. I put a wolf at the door. My sister-in-law's house doesn't have anything to eat, so eat this. There is still some money outside the door, remember to get it."

After saying this, he picked up the mattress and turned around and walked two steps. The door behind him creaked again, maybe the little girl opened the door to see it. Then suddenly he heard a burst of empty coughing, as if someone had been holding it in for a long time. Another woman heard a repeated voice: "Brother, brother, don't leave, don't leave!"

Li Bochen turned around and saw a thin black woman looking at him by the door, wearing a white single dress. But after just looking carefully, he realized that the dress was not white, but was just washed.

The woman stared at the wolf and money on the ground and said, "It's not worth it to be these... Oh, I thought you were..."

After saying this, he started coughing hard again, and waved to the room while coughing. The little girl walked to the door with a gourd ladle and said, "Uncle, my mother asked you to drink water."

The woman breathed a sigh of relief and said, "There is really nothing to entertain guests at home... Brother, don't you dislike me, drink a little water. I thought you were a bandit on the mountain..."

Li Bochen sighed in his heart and put down the mattress and walked over to take the water scoop. He was not thirsty, but he didn't want to smear his heart, so he drank it all in one breath. Seeing that the woman's eyes were circling on the copper coins and silver, he seemed to say "not worth it" again, and said, "I use it in a hurry, and I think it's worth it."

He handed the ladle to the girl, turned around and took another step, and couldn't help asking, "Sister, you are the only one in your family?"

The woman hurriedly said, "My man is going to do his job."

After thinking about it, I added: "You can come back if it gets dark. A new family is coming to the west and I want to start a farm... My man has gone to help with the work."

Li Bochen nodded, picked up the mattress and walked away. Hearing the woman behind him, "Brother, those families don't need to ask... they are all starving to death."

Li Bochen nodded softly, walked to the road, walked all the way to the forest, and then sighed heavily. He was in a good mood when he was in the meadow, but now he feels heavy.

"Starting to death" - he had heard of this kind of thing, but he had never seen it with his own eyes. Now after looking at these families, he felt that these three words became real.

He walked slowly, really didn't know what to say - although he was not rich in clothes and food during the Wuliang Army, he was full. When he was in Zhangcheng, he lived in the Tao family. Looking at the prosperity on the street, he also felt that the world was not good or bad. There were various shops and food stalls on the street, and ordinary people could get drunk with a lot of money for more than ten dollars.

In the village where he lived since childhood, although some families had to find wild vegetables and steamed cakes when they were not in the process of being unable to take it, they did not starve to death.

I was just thinking about where to get a million yuan to buy a small village for Lin Qiao, but only a dozen miles away from Sanguan City, I "starved to death" - and this family was about to starve to death, the man went to help a mansion owner. The newly moved mansion owner must have had a good food and clothing.

He did not hate those wealthy people. He knew that there would be people who would have food and clothing in any way. He just thought that these people were like this because of the war more than ten years ago. Once the war passed, a new order could not be established. Bandits outside the city were rampant and the people were living in poverty.

In fact, it is not just because of this - if it is an ordinary bandit, many places can organize some militia groups to protect themselves. But if there are magical magic in this world, bandits are no longer ordinary bandits. A practitioner like himself is actually no longer the same "person" as the mother and daughter just now.

When he walked through the mountains and fields, he was not afraid of hot and cold diseases, and it was easier to get some food. Just now, seeing that family was so poor, he had a thought in his mind - guarding such mountains and fields, where can't he get food?

But when I thought about it, let alone whether the large areas of mountains belong to others, I would not allow them to hunt. Even if it could, it would be too difficult for a family like this to survive just now.

Where do they get money to buy crossbows? Can they make them themselves and make them suitable? Even if there is one, can they shoot accurately? Who will learn from if they set up traps? If they spend a year or two on these things, what will their families eat? There are also some thin fields to be used to handle.

Besides, ordinary people like that are prone to illness and fatigue because of their extremely poor nutritional conditions. Once they are injured by a slightly worse person when hunting in the mountains, they may lose their lives. Hunters... sound very ordinary, but they are not something that ordinary people can do.

They are so fragile. People's lives are like grass in troubled times, and they are living too hard.

There are many such families in Li Country. He gave them more than 1,000 yuan today because he couldn't bear it. But when he met the same person in the future, he couldn't continue to spill money. If you really want to help, you might be able to suppress all the bandits you watched along the road. But is this really useful?

In the final analysis, it is because Li Guo is in chaos now.

Li Bochen used to know that he might be the descendant of Beichen and a descendant of the royal family of Li, and felt that he was responsible for morality and responsibility. But if he wanted to live for a lifetime, it would be better to be happy. In the event of injustice, if he could help him within his ability, he would be worthy of his heart.

But in this situation... if I really am a "Northern Emperor of Beichen" - living in seclusion and keeping myself alone, can I really be "sacrificeful"?

He felt extremely confused in his heart, so he sighed heavily. After taking more than ten steps, he thought, is it just because it is messy here?

It’s because of a practitioner like myself.

The rule of the six royal family lasted for thousands of years, and most of the royal family were practitioners. They lived a long life and had a lot of branches and leaves. I don’t know how many descendants of the Wang family were. Even though many people became like grassroots officials like Sui Yilian and Sui Zi'ang, they still had to be worshipped by the Wang family.

Such a huge royal family can last for at most five hundred years in his original place. But the reason why this place can last for so long is because of its magical magic and spiritual gods.

Like the family, the grass-rooted people were exploited to death, and the towns where the Wang family lived were prosperous. For those people, this was a kind of darkness that never had the ability to fundamentally improve their situation.

Neither of me. He thought that even if one day my cultivation can fight the whole world alone, I would not know what to do. To change and improve a world, it is never possible to achieve it by force alone. All aspects involved are difficult to understand even if a person lives for hundreds of years.

Otherwise, why don’t the spirit gods call this world better and have more incense believers?

He thought about it all the way and walked back to the deserted village.

After entering the yard, I found that the white horse was still there, so I breathed a sigh of relief. But as soon as I entered the room, I was stunned again.

He was in a hurry to get food, so he drove the fire on the ground in the outer room, but now he found that the fire was moved into the stove. The stove had collapsed halfway and was also cleared out and turned into a natural fire pit.

There was also a wooden plate on the stove. Li Bochen took a look and felt that it was made of broken door panels or broken window panels. He washed them again. The three remaining barbecue were placed on the wooden plate and warmed.

The ground was swept clean, revealing the original black mud. The house was half collapsed, but at this moment I didn't feel so depressed.

...It was Lin Qiao. He was in a heavy mood at first, but when he saw this scene, he suddenly felt relieved and walked into the inner room with his mattress in his arms. The kang was cleaned, and there was a rotten straw mat on the kang. Lin Qiao was wrapped in a cloak and was fiddling with a small table with a lame legs.

Seeing Li Bochen coming in, he turned around and smiled, "Brother Li——, where did you make the mattress?"

Did she no longer get angry? She cleaned up the temporary residence like a small house. A warm current suddenly surged in Li Bochen's heart. For some reason, even his throat was choked, and he said, "I... got it from the family in the west."

Lin Qiao came over to pick up the mattress and looked around, then smiled and said, "It's clean. You ran so far - there is still hot water in the jar. I just searched for a few stores next to me, but I only found these. There are a few dishes by the wall outside. You can wash them out later."

Then he walked to the kang and shook the mattress hard and spread it on. Li Bochen stood there, watching the sunlight coming into the gap in the window reflect her skin almost transparently, and then the tiny dust flying in the air. He gasped and said, "Okay...Miss Lin, okay."

After saying this, he hurriedly walked out of the house and stood in the yard. When the wind blew, he felt a little cold on his face. He raised his hand and found that two tears had fallen. He was stunned for a while, not knowing whether the tears fell by himself or the original remaining consciousness fell.

I remembered Chang Tingwei. I remembered her when she was doing housework. Lin Qiao was naturally not Chang Tingwei, and her relationship was different. But after so long, there was suddenly another person doing these things and taking care of himself. He felt a burst of soreness and emptiness in his heart.

Li Bochen sighed softly, walked to the base of the wall and sat down slowly, looking at the two bowls and two plates on the ground, and was silent for a while.

Otherwise, just take her away. He suddenly said to himself in his heart, no need to worry about any family and country justice.... After dealing with the affairs of the Chang family, would it be good to live a stable life? I am a practitioner and I can live a long time. Even if I delay for decades, can this world be destroyed?

But after a while, I took off my gloves and wiped my face hard, picked up the dishes, and walked out of the yard.
