I am Wu Dalang, starting with Pan Jinlian

Wu Fei dragged Xu Tianjiao in carefully, and looked around the room for a week, it was pitch black, not even a candle lamp.There are candlesticks, but there are no candles.Although burning candles is a common thing, this item is not something that ordinary people can afford at any time.

Generally, in a large family, there are many small candlesticks and a large candlestick in a room. At night, the candles will not be extinguished before going to bed.For those who are rich and luxurious, the candles burned here are all particular about the materials, types, fragrances and so on.Ordinary people can still afford candles, but generally they don't waste them, and they don't burn all the time. When they are necessary, they light one or two candles for lighting.And like this middle-aged woman's house, the candlestick is covered with a thick layer of dust, and it has not been used for many years. It seems that it is really hard.

After finally finding a flat place to sit down, Wu Fei and Xu Tianjiao carefully looked at everything in the room.

There are very few things, just a big wooden cabinet, a table, and only one chair, which still lacks one and a half legs, so it can only be propped up obliquely, and a stone is used as a cushion.

This is the first time for Xu Tianjiao to truly experience the word "poverty".Although she has suffered since she was a child, she has never treated her badly in life, and she lives a luxurious life.When I saw this scene for the first time, I was really touched.

Seeing that Xu Tianjiao was a little moved, Wu Fei couldn't help hugging her: "It's okay...how about we give them a little more money?"

Xu Tianjiao also hugged Wu Fei, nodded: "Well... thank you..."

Wu Fei smiled lightly, and gently hooked the tip of her nose: "Thank you, we are all one family."

Xu Tianjiao blushed, "You're the only one who talks poorly!"

The two teased for a while, and suddenly thought that there were still some small candies in the luggage, which could be given to the little boy.

Thinking about it, Xu Tianjiao opened the luggage and touched two small candies from inside.

"I'll get it to the little boy, you wait here for a while."

Wu Fei suddenly grabbed Xu Tianjiao again, although the poverty here is very real, and it doesn't seem like it can be pretended in a day or two, at least the dust and the oldness of the furniture cannot be fake.But the feeling here is very bad, Wu Fei is still a little worried.

"Call him out, we'd better not act separately."

Xu Tianjiao understood Wu Fei's meaning, nodded, sat down again, and shouted into the room: "Little brother, sister has candy here, do you want to eat it? Come out and get it from sister."

The middle-aged woman upstairs could still hear Xu Tianjiao's yelling clearly. She first spoke up and said, "Thank you, Miss..."

She seemed to want to say something else in her tone, but felt hesitant again and didn't say it out.

It was as if the middle-aged woman was still choosing her words carefully, and she didn't finish her sentence, but the little boy had already listened to her words and walked out.

The little boy's eyes are bright and beautiful, and he looks very delicate.Although everything here feels lifeless, the child's eyes are bright.

When the little boy walked up to Xu Tianjiao to take the candy, Xu Tianjiao saw him cute and said distressedly: "What a cute boy, it's just pitiful, so thin..."

After saying the word "thin", both Wu Fei and Xu Tianjiao were stunned for a moment, and finally realized that the feeling they had been feeling all along was not right, and what was wrong!
It should be said that the environment here is already so poor, but looking at this little boy, his body is normal, he doesn't appear to be skinny and hungry, but rather fleshy.At the beginning, the little boy was still a little far away from Wu Fei and Xu Tianjiao, and the middle-aged woman had been leading him the whole time, hiding behind, and Wu Fei and Xu Tianjiao didn't see clearly.

When I got closer, I found some clues.These circumstances can be faked, but the reality of the body cannot be faked.This little boy didn't look like he was starving, he was healthy, and his little face was still rosy.

After Wu Fei and Xu Tianjiao both observed this, they looked at each other to express their understanding.

Wu Fei muttered for no reason: "What if it's baby fat?"

"? What is baby fat?" Xu Tianjiao was at a loss.

Oh yes, there is no such thing as baby fat yet.Wu Fei explained: "That is to say, when children are born to a certain age, some children's faces and bodies look a little fleshy, which means that the 'baby fat' has not disappeared, and it will disappear when they grow up. "

Xu Tianjiao thought about it: "But it doesn't look like it, this child should be five or six years old..."

"Hmm..." Wu Fei paused, looked at the little boy eating candy, and asked, "Little friend, how old are you this year?"

The little boy looked up: "Five years old."

Wu Fei: "..." Well, just pretend I didn't say it...

"So..." Wu Fei was about to whisper something to Xu Tianjiao when he heard the footsteps of the middle-aged woman, who should have made the bed and returned.

Wu Fei and Xu Tianjiao looked at each other, and immediately stopped talking, and sat upright.

The middle-aged woman glanced at the candy in the little boy's hand, and said in embarrassment: "Thank you...the bed is ready...I'll get it for you. Pour a glass of water. Wait for me."

With that said, she turned around and went to work again.

Wu Fei and Xu Tianjiao felt a little uncomfortable listening to her, they kept faltering and hawing, and the listeners were very painful.

"Okay, okay..." Although Wu Fei and Xu Tianjiao were not sure what was going on here, they should always be careful.

After a while, the middle-aged woman came over with transparent white water in two cups cut from bamboo tubes.

Wu Fei and Xu Tianjiao took it on the surface, but they didn't drink it in their hands. They just chatted with the middle-aged woman casually.

After all, it is not clear whether it is an enemy or a friend. Under the current environment, who can be sure that this is Baishui?

"Sister, I want to ask, is this called Chentou Village?"

The middle-aged woman nodded.

Wu Fei said again: "Then why is this place so poor? An ordinary village, as long as it's not in war, can still survive, but your place... besides, it's not too far away from the Daming Mansion. Why is there such a difference?"

The middle-aged woman sat down, sighed, and said: "You don't know something, we have never been so poor here before, and our lives are still passable... Last year, a group of inexplicable people came to the village. Not only did they loot the village, but they also destroyed a lot of things.”
