The little sweetheart of the rough family

The rooster was coming very fiercely and ferociously. Cheng Yanping was so frightened that his face paled. He turned around and was about to run, but just as he opened his legs, the big rooster was already approaching. on his hind legs.

His leg hurt, and he staggered and fell to the ground.

Seeing that the enemy was so vulnerable, the big rooster became more and more courageous as it fought, and its beak kept beckoning to Cheng Yanping as it moved.

"Go away, go away..."

Cheng Yanping has been sick since he was a child, and his body is weaker than ordinary people. In addition, he was injured yesterday, so now he has no choice but to fight back and protect himself. The sleeve of one hand waved wildly.

For a while, the dust flew up and screamed again and again.

When he was in the capital before, his elder brother Cheng Dingyan took him to see the cockfights. At that time, he was watching outside and only knew that the two cockfights in the paddock were extremely fierce. Now that he has experienced it himself, he knows how powerful they are.

However, after several rounds, Cheng Yanping lost his strength and suffered multiple injuries to his arms.

In contrast, the big rooster was full of fighting spirit, looked at a gap, and pecked directly at Cheng Yanping's eyebrows, Cheng Yanping couldn't dodge in time, so he screamed.

Seeing the rooster getting closer and closer, he also gave up resisting, and only laughed in his heart, probably he was the first person to die under the beak of a rooster since the founding of the Great Yu Dynasty for a hundred years.

He closed his eyes and waited for a long time, but the severe pain he imagined did not subside for a long time.He opened his eyes tentatively, and vaguely saw a tall and strong man beside him. The man was dressed in black, and there were some mud spots and grass clippings on his clothes.

And the big rooster that tried to kill him has long since lost its prestige just now, and the cock's neck was tightly grasped by the man's big hand. At first, the big cock was probably not angry and wanted to struggle, but only flapped its wings twice. He fell, and was clamped by the man's other hand.

The man raised his hand and threw the chicken into the yard, then closed the gate, and then walked up to Cheng Yanping and stretched out his hand.

"Are you OK?"

The voice was a little familiar.

Cheng Yanping was still in shock, and after a long pause, he took the man's hand and stood up. The man's palm was warm and strong, with a thick callus in the palm.He frantically patted the dust off his body, trying not to be so embarrassed in front of his new neighbors.

"thanks......"

The man's hand was cold and soft.

Zhao Hou frowned, "Where did you get hurt? I'll take you to the medical center ahead for a bandage." After all, it was his family's wounded person, and he, the master, couldn't be irresponsible.

Cheng Yanping shook his head, and the moment he raised his head, it was like being struck by lightning.

Although his mind was muddled last night, and he was also in a daze, but after a little relief, he had seen the appearance of a man, not to mention the clothes on his body, his strong arms, and the slender arms on his arms. scratches.

Something seemed to explode in his mind with a "boom", and all kinds of things from last night came to his eyes again.At that time, he was very uncomfortable, as if he was being bitten by countless ants and insects, he impatiently grabbed his arm and cried, begging the man to hurry up, hurry up...

Thinking of this, he quickly lowered his eyes not to look at the man in front of him, and only secretly prayed in his heart that the man in front of him would forget what happened last night.As if he had been tapped, he froze on the spot, drooping his head like a child who did something wrong.

Zhao Hou's thin lips were drawn into a line, his expression was serious, and he couldn't see anything wrong at all.

"Really not?"

He recognized the man as soon as he raised his head just now, but it was a little different from the lovely and pitiful appearance when he leaned in his arms last night and pleaded softly. At this time, the man's face turned green and white, as if he was a little embarrassed.

Cheng Yanping had never been in such distress, he wanted to find a crack in the ground and wanted to turn around and run away, but there seemed to be nails on his feet, nailing him in place, he looked at his toes uneasily, A heart almost jumped out of his mouth.

"Then I'll go back first, and you can find me if you need anything."

Zhao Hou dropped a word coldly and walked towards the small courtyard. Just as Cheng Yanping secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the mayor came trotting all the way and was surprised to see Zhao Hou there.

"What are you doing?"

Cheng Yanping explained in a panic: "No...it's nothing..." In fact, he didn't know what he was panicking about, as if the mayor was here to catch | rape.

The mayor's sharp eyes looked at Cheng Yanping who was hanging his head in silence, and then at Zhao Hou who had a stern face.

"Really?"

Both of them fell silent.

The mayor didn't hesitate, and said with a smile: "It just so happens that Xiao Zhao is here, let me introduce you." He pulled Cheng Yanping away first, and introduced enthusiastically: "This is Cheng Yanping from the capital looking for relatives." Ping, I haven't found my relatives, but I was attracted by our outstanding people in Longmen Town, and I plan to live here, just next door to you."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at the small courtyard, then pointed at Zhao Hou and said, "His name is Zhao Hou, and he is a hunter. Don't look at him like a boring gourd, with a straight face all day long, he is not bad. If you need anything, you can ask him for help."

Cheng Yanping was the first to react, suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, cupped his hands and said, "Brother Zhao, I'm new here, please take care of me."

Zhao Hou didn't like such polite words, so he said in a deep voice, "Is there anything else? I'll go back to catch up on sleep if there's nothing else." After speaking, he returned home.

"Xiao Cheng, don't mind. He is just such a person. You will know when you get to know him." The mayor smiled at Cheng Yanping apologetically. appearance.

When Cheng Yanping saw the mayor go and come back, he thought there was something important.

"Do you have anything to do with me?"

The mayor slapped his forehead suddenly, and exclaimed: "Look at my memory, you just came here, you are not familiar with the town, I saw that you didn't bring anything to salute, but you need too many things to live at home. Now, everything from bedding furniture to pots and pans needs to be bought..."

Only then did Cheng Yanping suddenly realize.On the way from the capital city to Longmen Town, he was neither noisy nor noisy, trying hard to adapt to a different life, and thought he was doing well, but now that He Ming and the others had left, he was really the only one left.

Only then did he realize how difficult it is to live alone.

He looked back at the small courtyard that he had just bought. It was overgrown with weeds and extremely desolate. If he didn't clean it up today, he wouldn't even have a place to sleep at night.

It was noon at this time, and the sun was shining brightly.

Now that you have chosen this place, let’s live a good life and start from scratch.

"Mayor, if you have nothing to do in the afternoon, can you take me to buy something, as a reward, I will treat you to a drink at noon, how about it?"

The mayor was always enthusiastic, and he wanted to decline, but he couldn't stand the word "drinking". He was always greedy for what was in the cup, and Kuang had a good impression of Cheng Yanping, a young man who could read and write. The chest should be lowered.

"Leave this on me. Although our Longmen Town is not big, the sparrows are small and well-equipped. I will make a list later. When everything is ready, I will send it to your home together."

Cheng Yanping was very grateful.In the past, he was the most favored young master of Duke Dingguo's mansion. If he wanted something, he just opened his mouth and it came. He didn't even have a concept of money. He observed carefully along the way, and he almost got something. number.

Welcome building.

It is the only inn in Longmen Town.

The shopkeeper's surname is Wang, who is round and round, wearing a melon skin hat, and looks very festive.To say that he is round does not only refer to his round face, the key point is that his figure is also chubby, and he is not tall, so there is a sense of joy in his actions.

"Hey, what kind of wind brought you here today, hurry up, please come inside."

The mayor joked with a smile: "I miss the burning knives in your shop, here they come." Then he introduced Cheng Yanping, who was not good at dealing with people, so he just smiled shyly.

Shopkeeper Wang didn't care too much. His inn has been open for almost 20 years. He has never seen any kind of person. He praised Cheng Yanping's appearance a lot. Cheng Yanping blushed.

The mayor dragged Cheng Yanping into his seat, and ordered a few more appetizers.

A plate of fried peanuts, a plate of pork head meat, a plate of stir-fried vegetables, and a pot of knives.

The food in the frontier area is big and tasty, and Cheng Yanping, who is used to fine food in Beijing, is not used to it, and because of his health, he is never allowed to drink alcohol at home, and only drinks some fruit wine during New Years and festivals. , When he opened the mouth to burn the knife, he coughed violently, even tears came down.

There were not many diners in the store, and they were all acquaintances in the town, and they all laughed when they saw this.

Cheng Yanping panicked with embarrassment, her face was hot.

The mayor took a sip leisurely, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, just wait until you get used to it. This burning knife is strong, so you have to taste it slowly."

Seeing that Cheng Yanping was overwhelmed with alcohol, he did not persuade him to drink. The two chatted while eating. Pat Cheng Yanping on the shoulder. "Child of the Cheng family, I don't think you come from a poor family. Since you are from the capital..." He hiccupped, "You can stay here with peace of mind. People, who are you?" There are always times when life is in danger, just hold on, and it will pass after a while.”

After speaking, he put his hands behind his back and walked away slowly.

Longmen Town is not big, and Cheng Yanping didn't have to know the way. He just turned a corner and arrived at the door. When passing by Zhao Hou's house, he still had lingering fears. Seeing that the door of his house was closed, he was relieved and trotted back. my home.

He stood with his back against the courtyard gate for a long time.

The small courtyard in front of me is still desolate and lifeless, but looking at it now, it feels a little warm.There are tens of thousands of people in the world, some cannot afford food, some cannot afford housing, and there are natural and man-made disasters. Compared with them, he is very lucky.

Even if you are a rebel, you have a tile to cover your head, you don't have to wander, you don't have to sleep in the open, and you don't have to be looked down upon by others.

He encouraged himself in his heart, and then went to find a sickle from the debris pile. The sickle was full of rust, and he held it on the wooden handle and weighed it.

Before the mayor delivered the daily necessities, he had to clean up the courtyard first.

Cheng Yanping had never seen a sickle before, let alone used it. Holding the sickle in his hand, he was full of vigor, and it turned red as soon as he put the sickle down.

"what......"

He yelped and put his injured finger in his mouth.He continued to mow the grass without giving up, but the scythe seemed to be at odds with him, and after only cutting a little grass, he suffered a lot of injuries on his hands and legs.

"what......"

"what......"

"what......"

At this moment, Zhao Hou, who was catching up on sleep next door, turned over while whimpering, thinking what's wrong with the new neighbor next door?

Why do you like it so much?
