Back to Datang Jianzuo City

Chapter 4 This Era...

At sunset, the reddish sun shines on the green fields.The ashamed Ding Yi walked silently behind Liu Erzhu, and from time to time replied to Uncle Erzhu's words.In the afternoon, I chatted with Uncle Erzhu and got to know his family.I was shocked, Uncle Erzhu was less than 30 years old, not a few years older than his mental age.I probably knew that this village belonged to Xianyang, and I probably figured out the location. I should have come from Liangshan, and I almost jumped over the graves of Li Zhi and Wu Zhao later.I am so surprised.

In the afternoon, Ding Yi enthusiastically carried the pole, picked up two buckets of water, and then there was nothing else. Although later generations also exercised, the body of a junior high school student in this suit is indeed...

I can only follow Uncle Erzhu to help sprinkle water and carry the bucket.Fortunately, Uncle Er Zhu didn't blame this kid in a strange costume.

There are about 400 households in a small village, and the whole village has less than [-] people. Most of them are women, children and old people. In the past few years, there were wars everywhere, and all the men in the village went to the war.The few who can come back are pitiful, and finally figured out why there is a saying "raid the widow's village at night".It is a sad and ironic sentence, which actually became a ridicule in later generations.As everyone knows, people in this world who have just come out of the war-torn era cry bitterly when they hear their family members die in battle and their bodies shrouded in horse leather.

Hearing Uncle Er Zhu say that the soldiers in the village died in the war, and those who received less pensions are pitiful, and some are better off, which made Ding Yi feel the sadness of this era. , but also to support the entire country, to support those so-called aristocratic families, nobles, princes, county kings, and corrupt scholars.

There is a saying in later generations, "Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes." Ding Yigeng felt that when there are people, there are classes. This is an eternal truth, but it exists in different forms in different eras.Can't escape this vicious circle.

The bold idea in Ding Yi's heart became more vigorous, but Ding Yi couldn't bear to stare at these simple, satisfied villagers who lived a slightly full life and had nothing else to ask for.It's complicated and uncomfortable.

Stepping through the low wooden door, three or two adobe houses are Liu Erzhu's home. Liu Erzhu's family has no parents, a wife, a son and a daughter. His wife, Liu Zhaoshi, is cooking. It looks like porridge.But the tangy smell can't smell a little porridge.On the contrary, there is a smell of wheat bran, which is the daily food of Liu Erzhu's family and even the people of Tang Dynasty.Heartache!
Under the fruit tree at the side of the yard, Liu Erzhu's two children were playing with something. Anyway, Ding Yi had never seen them before. The two children were about the same age, about six or seven years old, with a yellow and thin complexion.In the afternoon, Uncle Erzhu said that the two children are over eight years old.This is the extent of lack of nutrition!
"Uncle Erzhu, which room do I sleep in at night?" Ding Yi wanted to go into the room and fetch something for the child from the warehouse.But he dared not take it in front of Liu Erzhu.

"You sleep in the room on the west side, and the two dolls sleep in that room. Let the doll stay with us tonight." Liu Erzhu put away his tools and pointed to a not very big room.

Walking into the room, it was dim, and I could barely see a wooden bed, not big, covered with weeds and covered with something that should be regarded as a mattress of unknown material, and there was no oil lamp.

"It's going to be one night, and there is nothing good at home. When you come out, your aunt's meal will be ready immediately." Liu Erzhu said calmly.

"Well, it's okay, there's no delay. I also want to thank Uncle Er Zhu for taking me in." Ding Yi felt even more guilty.

Seeing Liu Erzhu walk out of the room, Ding Yi put down his backpack and took out the unwrapped bread Wang Zhongwang from the warehouse. As soon as he walked out of the room, he saw the three little ones who had just been playing with the two children running over and jumping. , want the host to feed.

Ding Yi ignored the three little ones, and walked towards the kitchen with his things.It’s more like a temporary stove than a kitchen, with very few things. Looking at Mrs. Liu, who is burning a fire, in her 20s, she looks more like a 30s who have experienced vicissitudes.

"Auntie, let's eat these things and make up for the children." Ding Yi said while holding the bread Wang Zhongwang.

"How can I take your food? I have it at home. Take it back quickly. I heard from your uncle that you have to go back to Chang'an. It's far away, so you can keep it.

"Liu Zhaoshi hurriedly stood up and said.

What a simple person, what a good folk style.

"It's okay, I still have quite a few. You can cut this up and put it in the porridge. You can eat this with rice. You're welcome." Ding Yi insisted on stuffing things to her.I do my best to help a little, but I still have a lot of things.

"Just take it. This kid is stubborn, and you will feel sorry if you don't take him." Liu Erzhu walked in and said.In the afternoon, Liu Erzhu felt that he had almost figured out the temperament of this young man.

"Okay. Then accept it." Liu Zhaoshi did not refuse again.

In about ten minutes, under Ding Yi's guidance, Mrs. Liu Zhao prepared the meal.A group of people squatted in the yard with their own bowls, drinking Wang Zhongwang gruel and eating meat floss bread.

"Boy, what are these things of yours? Why are they so delicious? I haven't eaten such a good meal before." Liu Erzhu said in surprise.

"It's nothing, it's something made by my family, and it's not worth much, it's a bit of pork." Ding Yi explained.

"Pork can be made so well, I'm afraid you live in a wealthy family." Liu Erzhu felt that he had picked up a treasure.

Ding Yi was chatting with Liu Erzhu while eating. Looking at the two children who were eating big, he felt very good. Looking at Liu Erzhu's daughter Liu Yaya, with a thin face and a small body, Ding Yi wanted to accept one. Sister thought.Later generations also have a younger sister, who always followed behind her ass when she was a child, with braids in the sky and snot bubbles hanging from her nose.Brother, brother, screaming, that feeling is very good.Later, when she was working, she also went to college and had a boyfriend, but she forgot about her elder brother.It made Ding Yi sad for a while.

Now there is a chance, but let alone Liu Erzhu's daughter, it is better not to break up other people's families.When I have a chance in the future, I heard that there are many refugees, selling their children and daughters for food, or allowing their children to work in the high-walled compound for food.Do you dare to think about future generations?
Don't talk about selling children and selling girls, even if a child cuts his hands, he will be nervous for a long time.Losing children is even more chasing relatives thousands of miles away, Andy Lau's orphaned, Huang Bo's dear, which one is not seeking relatives thousands of miles away, although there will be in this era, but... heartache! ! !
After eating, it was getting dark, and I took the three cubs back to the room for a day of feeding.I didn't dare to feed it outside, if Liu Erzhu's family saw him holding such a thing to feed the dog, I don't know how sad it would be.

Looking at the dark night, Ding Yi fell into deep thought again.

　As for the accent, I’m not very clear about it, so I can only speak the current Guanzhong dialect, not Mandarin. As for Chang’an later, I’ll use Mandarin. After all, we don’t know anything else, so we dare not ask. !
