Ugly man is hard to marry

This year's New Year's Eve was very warm and peaceful. There were only Fang Yunxuan and his son in the family. They set up a kang table on the bed and sat around the table. Two mouthfuls of the food that Fang Yunxuan handed over made me feel satisfied.

Fang Yunxuan tried his best to liven up the atmosphere, but it was a pity that Fang Shihong was too seriously ill, he could barely hold on for a while, and then collapsed on the bed again.Fang Yunxuan withdrew the kang table, and only placed a few of his favorite foods on the low couch beside the bed, sitting with his arms around Brother Nan and talking with him.With the sound of firecrackers outside, Fang Yunxuan felt a little heavy in his heart. Fang Shihong's appearance was very bad. It was not easy to survive the New Year's Eve, and I'm afraid it would just be a day.

Not long after the New Year, Fang Shihong passed away.He left with a smile on his face. When he was dying, Fang Shihong took Fang Yunxuan's hand and said several times: "I am content!"

Fang Yunxuan cried a lot, changed Fang Shihong's clothes, and buried him in a coffin. After the Qiqi Festival, he selected a place with beautiful mountains and rivers as a tomb, and buried him here as a filial son.

When Fang Shihong was buried in the grave, Fang Yunxuan brought Brother Nan, who was completely naked and dressed in sackcloth, to kowtow to salute at the tomb.

After returning from the cemetery, Fang Yunxuan felt empty in his heart. He has been here for more than half a year, and his life almost revolves around the Fang family and Fang Shihong. For a responsibility, he did not choose to leave at the beginning, but stayed at the Fang family to take care of Chou'er's father, Keep the family business.Today, Fang Yunxuan feels that he has retired, and it is time to leave this place, go around and look around, and live the life he wants.

Once this idea arises, it grows vigorously like a fertilizer, and it gets deeper and deeper in Fang Yunxuan's heart.

Another month later, Fang Yunxuan sold the Fang family's property and left most of the money to hire a reliable family for Fang Shihong to take care of his tomb. complete.Fang Yunxuan was afraid that he would not be considerate, so he didn't dare to pay the money in one go. After he left Luoping, he would remit it from the bank on a monthly basis, and the guardians could withdraw it.

Fang Yunxuan considered the Fang family compound for a while, and finally decided to stay, and locked all the houses, leaving only an old man to look after the house. After Fang Yunxuan left, he would send a letter back from time to time, asking Fang The situation in the family compound can also be regarded as leaving some witnesses in the world for the Fang family and his son.

At the beginning of February, Fang Yunxuan took Brother Nan and left Fang's house with only 100 taels of silver and a few pieces of clothing with him.

The father and son left Luoping and headed east all the way.There is no destination, and he is not in a hurry to hurry. He stops and stops along the way. Fang Yunxuan carves some trinkets to sell while walking, or temporarily cooks for others for a few days.

As soon as March entered, there was more rain, and the road was muddy. Fang Yunxuan was walking on the winding mountain road with Brother Nan in his arms, slipping step by step, and the umbrella in his hand almost couldn't hold up.The wind was violent and the rain was violent, and there was a white line of rain in front of me, and it was gradually difficult to distinguish the road.

Fang Yunxuan blamed himself for being confused. He shouldn't be greedy for the beautiful scenery in the mountains. He wandered around in this barren mountain and ridge. The heavy rain came suddenly. After wandering around for a long time, when we approached the foot of the mountain, the rain had already chilled our hearts.I was anxious, seeing that the rain would not stop for a while, the father and son would freeze to death if they couldn't find a shelter from the rain.

Standing on the hillside and looking around, he wanted to find a place to shelter from the rain. Looking from a distance, he saw a ruined temple in the valley to the northwest. Fang Yunxuan was overjoyed and ran to the ruined temple quickly.

He was in a panic, holding Brother Nan in his arms, his sight was obstructed, and he couldn't see clearly the situation in front of him. He stepped over the temple gate, rushed in, and bumped into the person standing at the gate of the temple.

Fang Yunxuan tilted his body and almost fell down, the person on the opposite side rushed to help him, and waited for him to stabilize his body before saying: "Be careful!"

Fang Yunxuan hurriedly thanked him, put down Brother Nan, looked up, couldn't help but widen his eyes, and stared straight at the person opposite, thinking it was a coincidence.

He actually knew this person, that is, the general who galloped in Luoping County a few months ago, when he bumped into himself on his horse, he gave him 20 taels of silver to save him in an urgent need.

Du Yishan also recognized Fang Yunxuan.It's just that his face is so recognizable, it's rare in the world, and it's hard to forget once you see it.

Fang Yunxuan was in a mess and was drenched all over. Although he was holding an umbrella in his hand, he seemed to only care about the child in his arms. The clothes on the child's body were not even wet, but he looked like he just came from It seemed to be fished out of the water, dripping and dripping.His face was even more unreadable, his hair was scattered, and a few locks hung down tightly against his forehead, his face was blue, his lips were pale, and he was shivering from the cold.

Du Yishan quickly stepped aside to let Fang Yunxuan in.

Fang Yunxuan thanked him in a hurry, and took Brother Nan to walk in. The temple was full of people, and it seemed that they were all here to shelter from the rain. Several fires were lit in the Daxiong Palace, and the heat was steaming, and everyone was in the semi-darkness Pairs of bright eyes appeared in the bright light, looking at Fang Yunxuan and his son.

Fang Yunxuan saluted, "Excuse me!"

After searching around for a long time, he finally found a clean place, took Nan Geer there, pulled out a blanket from the bundle, and asked Nan Geer to sit down first.He found another dry towel and wiped the rainwater off Brother Nan's face to see that he wasn't drenched, so he felt relieved.

Suddenly there was a loud shout from the corner, and someone yelled at Fang Yunxuan and asked, "Brother Fang?"

Fang Yunxuan hurriedly turned his head, and saw that Wei Chongyan had already strode over, rushed forward and hugged Fang Yunxuan's shoulder, and laughed loudly: "It really is you. I still admit that I was wrong."

Fang Yunxuan was also happy, meeting an old acquaintance in a foreign country is really a happy event in life, after meeting with Wei Chongyan, he asked him how he was doing.

Wei Chongyan hesitated for a moment, looked at Du Yishan standing by the temple gate, shook his head, and ignored his own experience.Instead, he pulled Fang Yunxuan and said with a smile: "Don't mention me. You are the one who makes it easier for me to find you. I sent someone to Luoping to inquire about your situation after I finished my work. Unexpectedly, the person who went there came back and said that you no longer live in Luoping. I also said that we would never meet each other again in this life, and I never thought that we would meet in this ruined temple after going round and round. What a fate!"

Fang Yunxuan also felt the same, nodded and said: "Thank you brother for thinking about it, my father passed away, and my younger brother has nothing to worry about in the village, so I thought of going outside for a walk, so as not to be trapped in the three-acre land, making my hair grow long and my knowledge short. .”

When Wei Chongyan heard about Fang Shihong's death, he couldn't help persuading Fang Yunxuan, fearing that he would be sad, so he hurriedly changed the subject and laughed, "Forget it, you still have short-sightedness? Then I, a vulgar person, don't have the face to live?"

The two chatted and laughed, Wei Chongyan saw that the clothes on Fang Yunxuan were soaked, he hurriedly went to the fire to draw some big firewood, put them in front of Fang Yunxuan, removed a door panel, smashed it with a machete, and added it to the fire. In the fire, it was very hot, so Fang Yunxuan quickly took off his clothes and roasted.

Fang Yunxuan has a good impression of Wei Chongyan, and feels that this person is generous and generous, and he values ​​friendship. It is really rare to be able to treat each other with such sincerity after only meeting him a few times.I was grateful in my heart and wanted to express my gratitude, so I asked him if he had had dinner.

Wei Chongyan scratched his head, then pointed at the more than 20 people behind him, and said with a smile: "These brothers and I are rough men, how can we cook, just eat a few mouthfuls of dry food under cold water, and we can deal with it in one meal."

He narrowed his eyes while talking, and smiled again: "Speaking of which, I really want to eat the wontons you made, and I really want to eat those wontons after eating it once. I also went to other places to eat it later, but unfortunately I couldn't make you. I told my brothers, they didn’t believe it, and they said that I was dreaming, I must be greedy for your beauty, so I think the food you make is delicious, otherwise it’s all wontons, how can there be such a big difference .”

Wei Chongyan looked at Fang Yunxuan and laughed, Fang Yunxuan knew that he was laughing at himself for having such an appearance, so there was no beauty to speak of.Can't help but also laughed, let him wait for a while, cook by himself, treat him to a good meal, thank him for helping him in the past.

Wei Chongyan seemed to believe it or not, there was nothing in this deserted village and ruined temple, no matter how capable Fang Yunxuan was, what could he do.He said lightly and told him not to be too busy, but he didn't believe it at first sight.

Fang Yunxuan smiled and asked Brother Nan to play with Wei Chongyan for a while, then went to take out a small iron pot from the baggage.

This iron pot was specially made by Fang Yunxuan, and he carried it on his back all the way, just in case the lodging failed, and they encountered a place where there was no village or shop behind, and their father and son could have a mouthful of hot food.He didn't want to be so troublesome, adults can make do with it, but Brother Nan couldn't stand a little grievance. When he first started on the road, he didn't pay attention to his diet and drank an extra sip of cold water. Brother Nan started to have a fever and diarrhea, which scared Fang Yunxuan enough. After that, no matter how troublesome it is, he will definitely let Brother Nan eat hot food, so he asked the blacksmith to make a small iron pot, which is convenient for carrying on his back, and the weight is not heavy. In the pot, he will prepare food for the next few days Rice grains and vegetables, as well as commonly used condiments, along the way, the meals of their father and son are basically the same as when they were in Fang's house.Not to mention that there is fish in Dun Dun, but Fang Yunxuan made it carefully, not to mention the taste.

There is a well behind the Daxiong Palace. Fang Yunxuan changed his clothes, went to the well to fetch a bucket of water, rinsed the iron pot, poured cornmeal, added water to knead the noodles, and took it out after reconciliation and put it aside.

The few vegetables on hand were washed in an iron pan, cut into thin strips, and there was a piece of tenderloin left, which was also taken out and cut.Control the water in the iron pan, put it on the fire and heat it up, pour the oil to slide the shredded pork, when the shredded pork is half-cooked, put it out for later use, use the remaining bottom oil in the pot, pour in the shredded bamboo shoots, diced mushrooms and stir Stir-fry, add water to boil, add diced tofu and shredded pork.

In the middle of cooking the soup, Fang Yunxuan waited for the pot to boil, took the reconciled corn dough just now, squeezed it into small doses with his hands, flattened it and pasted it along the edge of the pot, and arranged them one by one along the side. The soup was boiling, and the temperature on the iron pot was just enough to cook the cornmeal cakes.
