After dressing as a widow

To be honest, Lin Zhen even dislikes his current feet, it's too embarrassing.

Walking every day, feet sweat a lot, and there is no condition to change and wash them, so the smell is not to mention offensive, Lin Zhen knows how serious his little boy's cleanliness is.

He moved his feet: "How can you hold it, not afraid that your hands will smell?"

Not to mention, a sour smell had already wafted towards his nose after this movement, Lin Zhen leaned against the stone hahaha, feeling that he was too bad, too difficult for the child.

Gu Lin held his feet, watched him being smeared with ashes from the bottom of the pot, and showed some white and fleshy smiles because of sweat, and his thin lips curved a little: "It's the smell of Uncle Lin, Uncle Lin There's nothing wrong with that."

The handkerchief in his hand moved very lightly, and there was only a slight pain when it rubbed against the broken blisters, but Lin Zhen hadn't walked so much for several years, and his bones hurt, and his toes and insteps were also a little bit painful. Swollen, flinched a bit.

Gu Lin looked up at him, took out the ointment from the small medicine box, and rubbed his finger on his broken blisters to wipe it away.

His fingers are long, without much flesh, with a particularly strong bony feel, with a sharp feeling, and the white ointment spread evenly on his feet, like rubbing ink.

Lin Zhen looked at his handsome side face under the firelight, and suddenly reached out to touch the bridge of his nose: "Your wife will be blessed in the future."

"..."

Gu Lin reapplied the ointment: "What is blessing?"

Lin Zhen propped his hands behind his back, and said with a smile: "Because her husband can study again, his martial arts are not bad, he also has a good-looking face, and he is very careful in taking care of others."

Compared with most of the men who regard their daughters and brothers as appendages and do not have much ability, Gu Lin who was raised by him is indeed a good candidate for marriage and life.

Oh, and Lin Zhen, who was an innocent man in his previous life and accepted that he was a brother in this life, still regarded himself as half a man added a sentence, a man's part is closely related to his nose!

Just like I used to have a tall and straight nose and never lost to that thing in the dormitory, Gu Lin's nose is really beautiful.

The root of the mountain is straight, the arc is neat and clean, without any unnecessary burden.

It's not like I am now, good-looking is good-looking, but it has shrunk several times! ! !

Gu Lin listened to him saying that he was good here and there, so he wiped the medicine on his feet silently, and then without putting on socks and shoes, said: "Just sleep like this tonight, let your feet breathe easily, tomorrow Uncle Lin and Aunt Chen are in the carriage."

"There are too many mosquitoes. If you don't wear socks, your feet will be full of mosquito bags tomorrow." Lin Zhen is a bit attracted to mosquitoes. Sitting with a group of people, he is definitely the one who gets bitten the most, and he likes to kick things when he sleeps at night. Guy It doesn't work on anything.

Gu Lin put the medicine back into the small medicine box, and stood up holding the small medicine box: "It's okay, I'll sleep next to you at night, and I'll cover your feet."

"That's good." The feet were finally comfortable for a while, and Lin Zhen had nothing to object to.

There are dead branches everywhere in the field, the fire is burning very big, and the flames are blown by the wind to this side and then to that side. Put fried flour in the cup, heat water, the flour is fried, there are sugar, nuts, and sugar in it, it is very sweet and delicious.

And it is high in sugar, which can quickly replenish physical energy.

Lin Zhen's feet were smeared with medicine and it was inconvenient to move. Gu Lin brought it over, and there was a pancake as thick as a thumb.

"Tomorrow is the fourth day. According to what Wang Youcai said, we will be able to return to Anyuan Town in about twelve or three days." Lin Zhen waited for the fried noodles brewed to be slightly colder. Happy, "Fill all the empty bamboo tubes with water tomorrow, and add a few buckets, and it should be able to last for another five or six days."

"Well, where are those girls and brothers." Gu Lin was also holding a cup of fried flour. He was just growing up, and he was not short of food now, so he got two cakes. I don't know how he did it. , clearly eating so politely, but half of the pancakes in his hand went away after a few strokes, and they disappeared after another look.

Lin Zhen tore the unbitten pancake to him: "We are going to Anyuan Town. If we go the same way, we can take it with us. Anyway, the robbers should have robbed a lot of food. They can bring their own rations, but Some people must have their own destinations, and they can only part ways, depending on their own choices."

This is already the best solution that Lin Zhen thought of. He must go back to Anyuan Town, and it is impossible to send these people back to where they want to go. Bringing them together is already the best thing he can do. .

Leaning on the stone, covered with clothes, Lin Zhen fell asleep. He glanced at Gu Lin who was leaning against the stone, and slowly closed his eyes.

At the moment when his breathing became long, Gu Lin stretched out his hand to press down the clothes covering his feet, stretched out his legs to press down.

The next day, Lin Zhen, who felt much more comfortable on his feet, followed the group of women and brothers who had been robbed by Er Manzi, and came to the not-so-high mountain with a cave, and saw a narrow one that could only accommodate one person The entrance to the cave stood alone, dried moss faintly visible on the scalded stones at the entrance.

Lin Zhen specially asked Wang Qinzhongyan and the others to bring all the things that could fetch water. He went in first with his head down, and several skinny rabbits running out of it were frightened and ran around.

Lin Zhen looked at his feet. There were footprints of other animals on the ground. It seemed that there was indeed water here. There are many large and small grain pockets piled up here, which are the living food for those who have been robbed to empty their homes.

Moreover, this hole is only a small hole, but the inside is very wide, and the overall surface is a descending slope.

He bent down and said to the people outside the cave: "Come in, light two torches, and take everything for water."

Wang Qin didn't expect that the entrance of the cave looked so small but it was so big inside. After lighting the torch, he looked up and looked around: "If they didn't block us last night, they should come back here at night."

"Yes, if there are no passers-by, Er Manzi and the others will eat and sleep here. There is water here, and there are rabbits and mountain mice who come to drink water. They also catch these small things as tooth sacrifices." Aunt Ma hugged the child, pointing to the The descending slope, "there is a pool of water, be careful when you go down to fetch water, it is a bit steep."

Lin Zhen stood on the side with a torch and took a look. Sure enough, there was a three-meter-wide and not very deep pool under the slope. Those who went down should be careful, otherwise they would fall into it if they stumbled.

They brought a total of four buckets and more than a dozen bamboo cups. Wang Qin volunteered and said: "I'll go down to scoop first, and then I will change people when I get tired."

Lin Zhen nodded: "Well, let's go after filling the water."

A group of people took turns and quickly filled the buckets and bamboo cups. The girls and brothers also took out sheepskin water bags and other things to fill the water. The crevices in the rocks where the water flows will fill up again after two days.

Lin Zhen led people to take out the water, and asked those girls and brothers to take the food they could take, and they also packed a lot, saying: "Everyone, our family is in Anyuan Town, if there is a road, You can follow, I have no other way, so let’s part here.”

When the girl and brother who were rescued by him and Gu Lin heard that they were going to Anyuan Town, everyone except Aunt Ma's daughter showed embarrassment.

They came from different villages, and they were going to different places. They originally followed their families on the road, but now that their family members died tragically, and they lost their innocence, going on the road alone was like throwing away their lives.

But how about going to a strange place?

Unaccompanied, wandering, they don't know what situation they will fall into.

Aunt Ma walked out with the child in her arms: "My natal family is in a small village in Anyuan Town. I will be with you all the way. Don't worry, I will take care of myself and not hold you back."

Having lost her husband and two other children, Ma Min's only thought now is to take the children to meet her last relatives in this world, her biological parents.

During the years of her marriage, it is rare for her to go home all year round, and she has not fulfilled her filial piety as a daughter, and she does not want to die here.

Another brother and daughter stood up and said, "We don't know where we are going, so let's follow you too. If we pass by a safer place, we will stay."

And the others finally chose to go to their relatives. Although the road was a bit difficult, they were people they knew well. Although Lin Zhen and Gu Lin saved them, they still didn't dare to entrust all their trust, fearing that they would meet someone on the way. Unexpectedly, they became victims.

Lin Zhen didn't force it, and broke up with them here, and told them that it's better to dress up as men, make themselves a little dirty, and hide their food and belongings.

Looking at the backs of these people scattered in all directions, Lin Zhen turned around and said to everyone: "Let's go, we have to hurry, and try to return to Anyuan Town as soon as possible."

The people here are all from Anyuan Town, and there are relatives in the town, so they are naturally eager to return home, and he said that they even have energy when they go down the mountain.

Ma Min had a bag of grain tied with vines on his back, water bags on both shoulders, and a child who was full and sleeping soundly in his arms. He was shaky when he went down the mountain.

Lin Zhen took off the water bag filled with water from his shoulder and put it on his shoulder, and then hugged the child into his arms: "I am also from Liyu Village, Aunt Ma takes good care of me, if Aunt Ma still Uncle Arima must be very happy to know that you are on your way back."

Ma Min did not expect that Lin Zhen would name Liyu Village and Aunt Ma and Uncle Ma. The expression on his face was shocked: "I, why have I never seen you?"

"My face is painted black, and I haven't washed it for three or four days. It's strange to recognize it," Lin Zhen took the initiative to report to the house, "I am the elder brother of the Lin family in the village, Lin Zhen. This is my son, Gu Rin. They are from the town and have been friends with us for many years."
