Chapter 36 Give Your Name and Last Name
It was dark early in winter, and Xu You and his party arrived in Youhe Village at the end of the day. After this conversation, it was almost the same as Shen Shizhong. Snowflakes were falling outside, and it was dark and dark. It was less likely that the visibility was too low.
Looking around, I didn't see anyone else in the room. This was the structure of a single room. It was obvious at a glance and could not hide it. Fang Kang saw the doubts of everyone and said, "My old woman was cruel and died early. I left a daughter and I to rely on each other for life. She has been sensible since childhood. Seeing that I was not in good health these days, she said she went to the mountains to catch hares to replenish them. She should be back soon!"
Xu You and others looked at each other. In such a snowy day, even if you walk on a flat road, you will be afraid of falling. A little girl will not catch a rabbit in the deep mountains, but will fall into it and cannot get out.
"Mr. Lang, why don't I go into the mountain to take a look?" Zuo Qi whispered: "It's this time, will there be any accident?"
Xu You frowned and said, "You are not familiar with the mountains and are not safe. Let's do this. Find two young and strong men from the village who often enter the mountains and serve as guides..."
"Several men misunderstood!"
Fang Kang hurriedly said, "I am only one daughter. If there is danger in entering the mountain, how can I bear to let it go? She learned some skills from a hunter in the village since she was a child. From Heshan, she looks deep and dense, but there are no big wild beasts. As long as she recognizes the paths that go up and down the mountain, there will be no danger. And the hare only comes out to find food at night, can't run fast in the snow, and loves to follow the old paths. If you carefully find its tracks, you can catch it with your living condom..."
Before he finished speaking, a crisp girl's voice sounded outside: "Aye, I'm back, I'm so lucky today. I caught a fat lazy rabbit that was almost unable to climb. I don't know whose family's food he stole, and it was ate bigger than Uncle Aman."
She spoke quickly and anxiously, like pouring beans, and occasionally mixed with soft Wu words, which made people feel comfortable as if drinking a glass of warm wine in winter. Fang Kang went out and scolded: "Wild girl, there is a distinguished guest at home, don't talk nonsense! Come in quickly..."
Look at you, your hands and feet are swollen from the cold. I won’t let you go, but I won’t listen!”
"This freezing is a big deal. Am I back? Aye, does this rabbit look like Uncle Aman?"
While talking, a girl pushed the door in, wearing coarse clothes without makeup, with pretty eyebrows and eyes, and her long black hair casually tied her bun, looking simple, clean and refreshing. She only had a dark complexion, not as weak and fair as usual Jiangnan women, exuding a healthy and lively vitality, full of infectiousness.
She didn't recognize her life, looked at Xu You and the others, threw the hare in her hand into the corner, and said happily: "You are so lucky. I will cook a plate of rabbit meat for you to taste later. Keep it in mind that you will even swallow your tongue!"
He Ru, a foodie, was drowsy, but when she heard that there was something delicious, she immediately became interested and said, "If you have a rabbit head and burn it with a cannon, then it will be a blessing for my mother!"
There is a rabbit head, and the cannon is burned. It comes from the Book of Songs? Gourd Leaves. It tells the story of the host having a banquet for guests. The cannon is wrapped in yellow mud and burned. He Ru learned five carts and came immediately. It was both suitable and interesting.
The girl tilted her head, Rumo's eyes were clear and not stained with a trace of vicissitudes of the world, and said, "I don't understand what you say, what can you burn it? Just chop the meat and cook it with fire..."
This is really a fool who has lost his book bag. Xu You smiled slightly, but he is still reserved, but Lu Shuang and Dong Xie are not as capable as him, and laughed out loud. They are not meant to mock the girl, they are just teasing He Ru, watching him embarrassingly belonging to Jingyuan's repertoire.
I couldn't understand the autumnal equinox, and I asked the Winter Solstice in a low voice, then I realized what Xiaolang and the others were laughing at. However, she is a person with a clear mind. She would not feel that she would be secretly hurt if she didn't understand these, or she had to study hard to make up for the gap. For her, everyone has their place, and she just needs to be by Xiaolang's side, and it is enough to be inseparable from life and death!
He Ru heard that the method of roasting rabbit meat was so simple, and immediately lost expectations. She leaned against the wall lazily and closed her eyes again and wandered around. The girl did not let him go and said, "Also, don't call me little girl! I have a name, my name is Fang Sinian."
puff!
Xu You's smile froze on his face, and he almost spit out an old blood. The Book of Songs has a sentence "Yu Wansen, I received the blessing of heaven", which means that the country's fortune is long. Who dares to use such a name? Not to mention a little girl in a mountain village.
He Ru probably couldn't help hearing this extremely strange name, so he opened his eyes with great interest and said, "Who gave you the name?"
Fang Kang is not like those who have read the Book of Songs. There is more than 20 families in He Village, so it is even more impossible for him to have a well-educated man. Although the name of this well-educated man is too low, he is at least a person who reads and reads. According to the literacy rate in this era, this probability is too low.
"Ah, it was the name I asked the old shopkeeper to give it. Isn't it a bad place?"
Fang Kang had only this daughter, and he loved her very much. He didn't want to just call him a dog or a slave like other little girls in the village. Although he didn't expect to become a noble person when he grew up, fathers still hoped that his daughter could marry a good family, live a life without suffering or being tired.
If you give a good name, you may look a little bit of etiquette, and you will not look like a wild girl in the mountains!
"Did you not tell the shopkeeper whether to name your daughter or son?"
Fang Kang's face turned red and said, "How did you know? I was afraid that the old shopkeeper would dislike naming the girl's daughter and insulting her identity, so he dared not say it directly, so...so..."
He Ru laughed and said, "You are right. You have to use some harmless method to deal with those high-ranking scholars! Fang Sinian, Fang Sinian... I like the good name very much!"
Fang Sinian immediately smiled and said, "You are a good person! I like this name too. I will make rabbit meat later and I will give you a rabbit leg!"
Fang Sinian did not brag, and made this plate of rabbit meat that was super delicious, with two or three plates of unknown wild vegetables, which was delicious and delicious. He Ru, who had an unexpected joy, shared a rabbit leg meat alone. He ate it and had a very greasy face and was very happy. He showed off his face from time to time, making Xu You's teeth it itchy. After the meal, it was getting late. Fang Kang told Fang Sinian about Xu You's purpose. Fang Sinian heard that he was going to enter the city with Fang Kang. At first, she was a little unhappy. She grew up in the mountains and had never left ten miles around Youhe Village. At first, she heard it, and she couldn't help but feel uneasy. But the boy didn't know the taste of sorrow, and soon threw away this unhappiness because she found a new playmate - the autumnal equinox!
To be honest, the temperament and experience of the two are not very similar. The autumnal equinox is softer and stronger. Climbing out of the mountain of corpses at the bloody night of Yixing is like a broken gold recast, and there is nothing to fear. Fang Sinian is as simple as new, born in this untainted village, as if untied jade is uncarved and innocent. But in addition, the two have one thing in common, that is, they are the same nature and are easily moved by external things. Compared to walking on frost and traversing the wind and dust, drifting with the flow, and compared to floating in the turbid world of the winter solstice, and being eager to be rich and noble, only they are the real kind of similar!
"What's your name?"
"Autumnal Equinox!"
"A strange name. My name is Fang Sinian!"
"I know, your name is Fang Sinian, but there is nothing strange about the autumnal equinox?"
"Do you don't have a last name?"
The autumnal equinox was stunned for a moment, and didn't know how to answer. He was about to say that he had grown up in Yixing since he was a child and had no surname. How could he have a surname except his master? Lu Shuang was afraid that she would be sad, so she was about to come over to smooth things over, but she heard Xu You's gentle voice sound, saying, "Her surname is Xu!"
Qiu Fen shook his body, turned his head, and looked at Xu You blankly. Scarlet water slowly appeared in his eyes, clearly reflecting the appearance of the young man.
He smiled slightly, as if it was far and near, as well as his father and brother!
Lu Shuang held the hand of the autumnal equinox, feeling her trembling and at a loss. Without saying a word, she gently held her in her arms, stroked her soft hair, and put her cheeks on her forehead, giving the firmest support to this sister.
The winter solstice stands aside, feeling sincerely happy for the autumnal equinox and a little discouraged. After all, among the three people, Xiaolang likes and feels most sad.
However, she quickly calmed down. She followed Xiaolang for more than ten years, accompanied her since childhood, and experienced life and death together. She couldn't envy the emotions and opportunities. As long as she did her own thing, she would surely one day, Xiaolang would treat herself like the autumnal equinox.
"Okay, there are outsiders here. Those who don't know think I'm beating and scolding you. Don't cry. From today on, you will follow my surname. If someone asks you for your surname, then say your surname Xu!"
Xu You never thought it was so noble to give someone a name, and he didn't need to rely on this to win people's hearts. But for the autumnal equinox, for the thirteen years, there was only one code name for people to shout, but now he was able to give the surname Xu before his name, which was really a great honor. In fact, she couldn't blame her for being excited. Even Zheng Chenggong was given the surname of the country by the Emperor of Southern Ming, and everyone named him the surname of the country. As for the original surname of Zheng, it was not important at all. The common people knew this and could do nothing.
"Xu... Xu Qiu Equinox, it doesn't sound strange now. Well, it sounds nice, just as nice as my name!" Fang Sinian held the autumnal equinox's hand and said happily: "Let's sleep together tonight!"
Fang Kang was embarrassed and said, "Wild girl, say nonsense in front of all the men!" After cursing his daughter, he said embarrassedly to Xu You: "Hangjun Xu, I only have one room to live in. Why not take you to the neighbors' houses around you... You are so kind, the villagers here are very hospitality and will not be slow to treat you."
"No need to worry too much. Just find a house, borrow three quilts, and then get some firewood to make do with it for one night." Xu You ordered the autumnal equinox to take five hundred yuan and hand it over to Fang Kang, and said, "The villagers probably don't have any extra quilts. It's so cold tonight, so I'll just regard this little money as my wish."
Fang Kang refused but had to take the money and took Fang Sinian out when he was about to go out, suddenly there were a lot of footsteps outside the wooden door, and then he heard someone say, "Is this here?"
"Yes, yes... Fang Lao Jiang lives here..."
"Don't leave now, the dog you raises. If you lie, see that grandpa won't pull your tongue!"
"I dare not, I dare not!"
"Master, you said it's so cold that we're going to work hard to get through this job. Can't we wait for a few days to clear up before coming?"
"The money owner has been waiting for a month or two, so that he will not attract attention. When the matter in the city fades, he will quietly control this Fang Lao Jiang. It just so happened that he was not in the snow. There was no village or shop, and there was no ghost. We tied up people and left without knowing it. What's the point of being tired? I've heard it all, cheer up, and after waiting, I'll give you five hundred yuan to drink! Also, I'll pay for the expenses of stealing Xianglou!"
"Thank you, Lord!"
"Thank you, Lord!"
When everyone heard the stolen stolen treasure, they immediately felt energetic and wanted to arrest Fang Kang immediately so that they could go back to the beds of the brothel prostitutes to enjoy it.
Bang!
The wood door was kicked open, and the bolt inserted behind the door was broken into two pieces. Seven or eight people walked in, tied their crotch and tied their pants, holding short squids in their hands, dressed in a typical ranger. The leader was the so-called master, covered in snow and had a bad shape. He looked at Fang Kang and his daughter in front of him, and asked with a squinted eyes: "Are you Fang Kang from Sibaofang?"
Fang Kang hurriedly protected Fang Sinian behind him and said, "Who are you...you?"
The master of Xing smiled grimly, without saying much, waved his hand, and the ranger behind him immediately rushed up to get the person.
"stop!"
Hearing the movement, Xu You and a few followed. Zuo Qi rushed forward without waiting for the order, and pushed him gently. The Ranger who was in the front took three steps back and thumped, and his butt hit the ground, so painful that he couldn't stand up.
