Chapter 913

Since the future is remote, why turn back? Gong Yueyue advised himself so that he said to Yeqi, "it's hard for you, mother-in-law Yeqi." With that, he fell on the back of night sobbing, picked himself up by him and ran to the village in front of him.

Fortunately, they came early, and almost everyone in the village had lights on. Gong Yueyue came down from his weeping back and walked towards a shabby looking courtyard. She thought that if she found a rich family, the other party might not be willing to take herself in.

In contrast, the poor are more willing to help others. Even if no one is willing to take them in, they can also give them more silver to let the other party even give them a cabin to rest for a night.

There is only a circle of low fence wall in this small courtyard, and it is autumn now. Most of the green vines on the fence are withered and yellow. When it blows in the night wind, it makes a crisp sound different from the green leaves, which looks a little dark and astringent.

Gong Yueyue came to the door, but he didn't know how to knock. Because the gate of the courtyard is just a bamboo fence, there is a gap in the fence, just a board. Gong Yueyue simply opened his mouth and shouted, "excuse me, I want to stay. Can you make it convenient?"

Gong Yue called the first time and the door opened. A 50-year-old man looked out, and then shouted to the room, "old woman, it's two girls and an eldest sister."

Hearing the other party's call, night's weeping face was a puff. How old is the old woman he is pretending to be? He even asked a man in his fifties to call himself the eldest sister.

The old man's "old woman" also came out, pushed the door to the gate of the hospital, looked at Gong Yueyue and asked, "are you passing by?"

"Grandma and uncle, we want to go to the capital. I heard that there is less than a day's journey, so we plan to rest here for one night. We will go on the road early tomorrow and arrive at noon. Can you let us have a night? " Gong Yueyue left a heart and didn't say they came from the capital, but said they were going to the capital.

In this way, even if someone sent by Zhao Changyuan found here and asked about this family, the people of this family could only say that they went to the capital and didn't see anyone coming out of the capital.

Night cry and Xiaotong obviously appreciated Gong Yueyue's wit, looked at each other and nodded together.

"Oh, that's really a long way to go. Come in. It should be convenient to go out. It's not difficult to stay for one night. "

Then the old man came and opened the wooden door for the three of them and let them in.

The farmer is really poor. There are only two huts, and they are very dilapidated. The house didn't even have decent furniture, but it was tidy and clean.

The old woman of the family said, "I have only one daughter. I married to the village next door earlier. Now there are several grandchildren, and girls don't come back often. We are alone at home. You are welcome to come here. There is only a small room next door. You can make do with it for one night. "

With that, the old woman looked at the night cry again and asked, "old sister, how old are you? You look so tough when you walk. Are these two your daughters? "

Night cry didn't talk to anyone all the way. Gong Yueyue always asked for the way. Now the old woman suddenly asked herself, he wanted to open his mouth, but he was afraid that he didn't pretend to be like the old woman's voice. He coughed twice and secretly went to see Gong Yueyue.

Gong Yueyue also knows that night cry can't speak, it will reveal the truth. She hurriedly said, "she is not our mother, but a cousin of my mother. She has never married in her life and has a strange temper. I suddenly got a strange disease a few days ago. I had a sore throat and suddenly became hoarse after coughing for several days. We went to the capital to see her. "

"Ah, how come you two girls are so watery and don't look like this old sister. How can you be dumb? What else is wrong? Will the disease... Be contagious? " The old woman talked and looked fiercely at the night, as if she was afraid of what infectious disease he was carrying.

Gong Yueyue hurriedly said, "it's not contagious, otherwise how could we two follow her together. If there is an infectious disease, the village doctor can't let her out. What's more, if you enter the capital with infectious diseases, you can't be caught by the government? "

Gong Yueyue knew that there was a strict rule in ancient times that those with infectious diseases could not leave their village until they recovered. We can't go to a big city like Beijing. Perhaps this is an effective measure to prevent the spread of epidemic diseases in ancient times.

Just imagine that ancient medicine was not as developed as modern medicine, nor did it have advanced and fast isolation and rescue measures. If something like plague happens, the consequences will be unimaginable. The only effective way to control the plague is isolation.

So the ancients thought of such a method and wrote it into the legislation at the same time. It seems that this advantage of the ancients is worth advocating.

Seeing that the old woman seemed to have some hesitation, Gong Yueyue quickly touched out a piece of silver and handed it to her, "grandma, we have also walked all day. We have to rush to the capital early tomorrow morning. Just make it convenient for you. We just need a cabin and a simple meal. And I'm thirsty now. Can you give me some water first? "

Gong Yueyue did have a strong sense of tiredness and fatigue. At first glance, she looked like she had been driving a long way. The old woman is not a cruel person. Besides, the silver was stuffed into her hand, so she didn't ask any more. The old man said, "take them to the next room and have a rest. I'll go and cook some food. "

Gong Yueyue was relieved and thanked Xiaotong repeatedly. Then he "helped" the night cry and followed the old man to another room.

The cabin next door is also very simple, but fortunately it is very clean. Although there is only one board bed, it looks spacious. At least it can be regarded as a double bed.

The old man pointed to a shabby cabinet in the corner of the room and said, "the bedding is clean here, but it's a little thin. You can make do with it in the evening. Fortunately, it's not cold yet. "

Gong Yueyue thanked him again, and the old man went out. A moment later, he knocked on the door, sent a pot of boiled water and several water cups, and told Gong Yueyue: "the meal will be ready soon. Drink some water first."

Xiaotong went to pick it up. First he washed out three cups with water, then poured himself a glass of water, and slowly took a sip. Then he nodded to Gong Yueyue.

Gong Yueyue knew that Xiaotong was testing her poison. She couldn't say whether she was grateful or distressed. He sighed and said, "don't do this in the future. We'll be fine now in an ordinary farmhouse. If you've been so careful, it's easy to be seen by those who want to. "

Night weeping nodded and whispered, "well, I've noticed that these two old people have calluses on their hands and coal ash in their nails. They should be used to doing rough work on weekdays. Their breathing is also very heavy. It's not the way that people who know internal skills breathe and breathe. So we'd better observe first in the future and don't doubt it easily. "
