The two of them didn't dare to take the official path, they picked trails all the way.The two of them are young, so naturally they can't go anywhere quickly.Before we had gone far, it was getting dark.There is a village just ahead.

The two looked at each other, licked the dry corners of their mouths, walked over, found a family that looked warm and harmonious, held a small bowl with a broken corner, did not enter the house, stood at the door, There was a modest smile on his face, "Uncle, we two brothers passed by here fleeing from disaster, can I ask you for a bowl of water?"

A family of three was sitting in the yard eating, and they all looked towards the door, only to see two young men in ragged clothes, hair like withered grass, black and yellow faces, all in a mess, holding a small broken bowl and laughing at the door. Yingying begged for water to drink.

The man hurriedly stood up, went up to meet him, and opened the fence door, "Yes, yes, come in."

Chen Tingyue breathed a sigh of relief, and the smile on his face became more sincere.He took Zhao Liren's hand and went inside.

Seeing the two of them coming in, the kid from this family was not afraid. He poked his head out from behind his mother and looked at them curiously.

The woman patted his head lightly, took two steamed buns from the bamboo jacket on the table, stuffed them into the hands of Chen Tingyue and the two of them, took the broken bowl from his hand, and said softly: "Wait a minute , I’m going to help you pour water.”

Chen Tingyue said gratefully: "Thank you, auntie."

The man cheered lightly, "Thank you, when you are in trouble, you can help if you can."

Chen Tingyue bowed to him to thank him.Zhao Liren followed him to salute and thank him.The man helped them up and asked softly, "Where did you come from? Where are you going? Why are you two alone? Where are your parents?"

Chen Tingyue's face was gloomy, and she said in a low voice: "We are from Lan County. Parents...are gone. There is an uncle who works as a servant for a rich family in the capital...We are going to join him. …”

The man said pitifully: "How old are you two? Parents are gone."

Chen Tingyue pursed her lips and said in a low voice, "Fortunately, our brother is 12 years old and can support himself."

The man sighed unceasingly, looking sad and pitiful at the two of them.He patted his legs, got up from the small bench, found a cloth bag, and put all the steamed buns in the bamboo jacket into it.There are four or five of them, plus the steamed buns in Chen Tingyue's hand, there are six or seven of them.

This is their family's daily ration.

Tie up the cloth bag and hand it to Chen Tingyue, "Take it, eat on the way."

Chen Tingyue waved his hands again and again, and said embarrassedly: "No, no, thank you uncle, these two are enough, and I can eat enough."

The man ignored him, stuffed it into Chen Tingyue's arms, and said in a low voice, "Uncle's family is not rich, so I don't have anything good for you, just these few steamed buns, don't dislike them, eat them on the road."

Chen Tingyue couldn't shirk it, so she could only salute the man gratefully.

At this time, the woman came over with two bowls of rice soup.Give each of Chen Tingyue a bowl, and whisper: "Drink while it's hot."

The two felt warm in their hearts, and secretly sighed: I met a good man today...

After thanking them, the two of them held the bowls and ate the steamed buns, and started to eat.I haven't eaten much for a day, and I'm already hungry.After a while, the bowl bottomed out.

Seeing this, the man told the woman: "Go and tidy up the room and come out, let them stay here for one night today, and leave tomorrow."

When Chen Tingyue heard this, she waved her hands hastily, "Thank you uncle for your kindness, but there's no need, the weather is not cold and the moonlight is good, we two brothers will take advantage of the moonlight to catch up, try our best to walk as much as possible, and arrive early."
