Chapter 441

Li Wei held the reins tightly and walked all the way down the mountain. Luo Chong did not know why.

The mountains here are not very high, nor are they steep. After a long walk, you can see some common houses at the foot of the mountain on horseback.

Li Wei rode his horse to the opposite village.

The autumn harvest is over, but there are still many children running barefoot in the field, with baskets in their hands, picking up the ears of wheat in the field. Those old nursery rhymes came from afar and couldn't understand a word.

The older ones were about ten years old, and the younger ones were only two or three years old. They had just learned to walk, and some of them stumbled after their brothers and sisters.

At present, the weather is very cold, Li Wei has been wearing cotton clothes, but most of the children in the field are naked. The patches are stacked on top of each other, and they have already turned white.

At that time, these children would wear clean and warm clothes and sit in the spacious and bright classroom to learn knowledge.

She clearly saw the huge gap between the two eras. She was not helpless in the face of poverty under her eyes. However, she was not allowed to have any way out of the old situation.

Li Wei got off the horse and led the reins to the children.

The children were not only ragged in their clothes, but also had strange hairstyles. Their faces were blackened and red, as if they had not been washed clean.

When a stranger came to the village, Li Wei became the focus of attention for a while. Some brave children gathered around and asked with a smile: "is the martial aunt coming for alms?"

"I'm not begging. I'm coming to see what you're doing."

"We're picking wheat ears and grasshoppers, you see." A boy from behind took out a few inches long, green insects out, fiercely raised to Li Wei, as if to deliberately frighten Li Wei.

Li Wei, however, bent down to catch the grasshopper and said, "can you weave a cage?"

"I won't, my father will, but my father will..." The little boy said half of it, but he stopped talking. He hung his head and looked very depressed. Then he grabbed the grasshopper from Li Wei's hand and ran away.

Li Wei was puzzled. Then a little girl on the side raised her face and said to Li Wei, "you don't know, auntie. Xiaohu's father went out to fight last year. He heard that he was killed and will never come back. His mother ran away a few months ago, and he followed his grandmother

"Ah!" Li Wei looks surprised. She looks around for the little tiger that the little girl said. The tiger has not run far. Now she is sitting on the ridge with no other children around.

Li Wei saw the tiger, thought of Shujia, and thought of her young self. She walked towards the tiger and followed her on the ridge.

"I heard your name is tiger?"

"Why should I tell you?" Xiaohu made the ugliest face to Li Wei. He wanted to scare Li Wei away. He not only made faces, but also said, "women are the most annoying."

This sentence made Li smile, but she did not blame Xiaohu.

"I'll make a cage. Go and pick up some straw for me." Li Wei said. She sat there and pulled some straw stems and was knitting something else, but she saw her fingers turning and dancing, which dazzled people. Not long after, there was a very exquisite and unique flower basket in her palm, and she also picked two small flowers to decorate. Her skill makes little tiger look silly.

As expected, Xiaohu went to pick some straw and asked Li Wei to give him the cage. Li Wei hasn't made up this thing for some years, but as long as she fumbles, it's not difficult to get started. She has spent a little time.

Luo Chong sat cross legged under a big tree over there. He didn't understand why the Empress Dowager would come to the countryside to join the children. There was nothing to worry about among the children. He only looked at them from afar and didn't dare to disturb them.

The cage was finally made up, and it was as sharp as a pagoda.

"Here you are."

Xiaohu has been stunned for a long time. When he took over the cage, he didn't believe it.

"Do you really want to give it to me?"

"I don't cheat."

The tiger looks a little flattered.

Li Wei again said: "may not be as good as your father, but I hope you can like it."

Little tiger tightly holds the cage, tears in his eyes, he is trying not to cry, grandma said that men can not cry, he has no father or mother, now he is a man.

Li Wei talked to the children in the countryside for a while. Several of these children were taken to exile. Some of them were uncertain about their life or death. Some of them had been killed in the war. There were no young laborers in the family. It was not convenient to cultivate the crops. Therefore, there was a large area of wasteland at the foot of the mountain. The people's life will be more and more poor.

When a woman saw a stranger coming to the village, she dressed up as a Taoist nun. Was she a Taoist in a Taoist temple on the mountain? Li Wei has also come up to ask or greet Li Wei. Li Wei acquiesces to his Taoist identity and asks about food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Looking at this piece of starvation and malnutrition of the face, her heart more and more uncomfortable.It was towards dusk that afternoon that she rode back to the temple. All the way, I was worried and worried.

The next morning, she was still practicing sword in the Taoist temple. In the afternoon, she rode out. This time, she went to a village farther away. This place is poorer than the village the day before. Only the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled were left in the village, and the children seldom had a perfect family.

After visiting the village for several days, she went to the town and the market. Look at those people do business, understand the market prices, when hungry, they casually go into a restaurant and ask for soup and noodles.

Just after eating a few mouthfuls, a drunk suddenly stood at the table. The drunk was in his thirties, and his body smelled.

"In which temple do you practice? What are you doing down the mountain today? I don't know the way. I'll show you the way... " The drunkard said he would reach out to touch Li Wei's shoulder, but the drunk's hand had not reached Li Wei's clothes, so Luo Chong stopped him.

"You dare to move another hair of her!" Luo Chong's face showed a fierce light, but it was quite bluffing.

Seeing a man here, the drunkard didn't dare to endure Li Wei. He retreated a long way. He laughed at him drunk and said, "my little martial sister also raises a man now. It seems that she is missing the world."

Luo Chongzheng wanted to teach the drunkard a good lesson. Li Weizhi stopped his behavior and said, "forget it, why bother to open up. Let him go. "

Luo Chong is absolutely loyal to Li Wei and dare not refuse.

Li Wei bought a bowl and asked Luo Chong to eat it. When Luo Chong had eaten it, she paid for it before leaving the shop. Continue to walk in the bustling bazaar, for any new place to see.
