After a pleasant dinner with the Lin family and their son, Lin amo cleaned up the empty room for Wu Qingyuan at the command of Lin Laogen. He also went to turn out a relatively new mattress and quilt and spread it on him.

After these teenagers finished, they ran to the kitchen to burn some hot water for him and greeted him with a smile. Then they quickly ran back to their house with another basin of water to take care of brother Zhou, who was in a coma and sleeping. Their little figure ran around like a top.

When Wu Qingyuan finished washing and went to bed, he could still see the opposite room. Under the light of the oil lamp, the shadow of the boy sewing clothes with a needle and thread was reflected on the window.

"Lin amo..."

Staring at the reflection on the window, I thought of the two brothers of the Lin family fooling Lin Laogen. The boy stuck out his tongue and whispered with a smile. Then I closed my eyes and fell asleep.

..........

Wu Qingyuan always slept very shallow. As soon as it was light, there was a slight sound of footsteps opening the door and getting up in the yard. He woke up, packed up and dressed, and got up with him.

Out of the door, there are three rooms outside except the old Lin family. All the people in the second and third rooms of the Lin family get up and start working. They cook and draw water. Even children are no exception. They help the family.

This situation is not rare in Liushu village. The children of poor families are in charge early. Even if they are half adults at the age of ten, both men and women have to help.

"Brother Wu, did you sleep well last night? Why did you get up so early? Go back and sleep again. I'll call you when breakfast is ready..."

Seeing Wu Qingyuan coming out of the room, Lin Laogen shouted while fetching water. Everything he said was the simplicity of a rural man.

The couple next to him nodded and smiled at him. They were very honest.

"Sleep well, uncle Lin, let me fetch water for you..."

Wu Qingyuan liked this strong and simple atmosphere very much. He was in a good mood and said hello to the Lin family. He went forward and helped Lin Laogen fetch water while talking about going to the town.

Although he inquired about a lot of information here at Old Man Zhou's place and on the boat, it's better to learn more about it when he first arrived. The information in the village is too closed and the county is too far away. Only the town is the most suitable.

However, his main purpose when he went to the town was to exchange some small pieces of silver. Now he has only a dozen copper coins. He needs money whether to find someone to inquire about Zhou Fuxi's news, or to settle in this place.

"Going to the town? OK, you can go with my brother Lin later. Ah Mo, he's going to the town to make medicine for brother Zhou. I was worried that he was unsafe. You go together. I'll go to the next village to ask you first. I remember that there is a nearly 70 year old Zhou in the next village, which is similar to the information you said."

Lin Laogen nodded readily. He had a good impression of Wu Qingyuan. He knew that Wu Qingyuan could cure his brother Lin's face when he had dinner last night. He saw Wu Qingyuan more pleasant and friendly. As long as he thought that his son could look better, he could even wake up from a dream.

The two agreed on the arrangement to go to the town in the yard. After Wu Qingyuan washed, he was invited by the enthusiastic Lin Laogen to the table for breakfast. When the Lin family and the man in the third room got up, they followed Lin amo out of the door.

In fact, according to the rules here, it's not appropriate for a man and a little brother to appear alone. People can't be seen without chewing their tongue.

But it doesn't exist with Lin amo. Peach scandal basically won't happen to an ugly brother.

So when I met other villagers in the town at the entrance of the village and saw them walking side by side, I didn't think about gossip at all, but I came up to say hello curiously.

"Ah Mo is also going to town today. Come and help my aunt carry a basket. Eh, this little brother is... Ah Mo, your relative?"

Several aunts gathered around and said hello. It's fake. Look, Wu Qingyuan is real.

Their small village is not as prosperous as the town. Except for the villagers and relatives of three aunts and six women in the village, there are basically no strangers. It's rare to have an unknown stranger occasionally. Of course, we should pay attention to it.

Xia people are generally tall. There are many men taller and stronger than him in the village, but not many who are handsome at the same time.

In particular, Wu Qingyuan's temperament is different from the rural men in the village. It looks like he came out of a large family. Several aunts are very curious.

"Brother Wu is not my relative. He came to us from outside to look for relatives. He's staying at my house for the time being..."

All the villagers have nothing to hide. Lin amo explains patiently and explains Wu Qingyuan's origin in a few words.

Compared with Wu Qingyuan, his explanation of this village is naturally more persuasive. Several aunts did not doubt his identity at all. They were also very interested in him coming from outside. They kept asking him what it was like outside. They heard that it was very busy outside. How lively is it? Are all the people outside like them? I heard from the passing caravan that the people outside are different from them. Is it true?

It's not that the aunts gossip too much, but they are really curious. Most of the men in the village have never been far away, not to mention the women and little brothers in the village. The farthest place they have been in their life is that there are many people in the town. When I heard that he came from so far away on the sea, naturally I couldn't help asking, and I yearn for the outside world.

Wu Qingyuan doesn't know much about other places here, but he is well-informed in modern times. He can fool these aunts who don't know anything at all. However, most of them are based on his own travel and don't mention his hometown at all.

He is cautious, but in fact, not like this. A group of aunts will not doubt it. They are attracted by what he said. Even Lin amo looks at him admiringly. He thinks he has been to so many places and knows so many things!

Wu Qingyuan has a thick skin and continues to make up nonsense without feeling guilty. From time to time, he looks at Lin amo's worship eyes. He can't help but show a smile on his handsome face.

The aunts in the village have great curiosity and gossip ability. It takes two hours to walk from Liushu village to the town. During this time, they can ask countless questions and don't even need to drink water.

Even if Wu Qingyuan could deceive him again, he would be scared by these aunts, especially when they knew that he had not married and was going to settle down in the village head near Shiqiao Town. As soon as their eyes brightened, they immediately began to work together to persuade him to take root in their Willow Village, and then Balabala's relative's daughter and younger brother haven't married yet. Elder brother, do you want to think about it, Ready to match.

It can't be blamed that they are too anxious. Wu Qingyuan's conditions look very good. Even if he comes all the way to seek, he may be poor, but it doesn't matter. With their eyes, they can see from the conversation just now that he is definitely a good man who loves his daughter-in-law. It doesn't matter who is poor in the village. If the husband and wife work together for a few years, they will have everything!

"Several aunts have taken Wu's heart, but I want to find my relatives and consider other things..."

Wu Qingyuan can't deceive anymore. He can only refuse clearly. These aunts have too strong fighting ability!

For the sake of all the words, several aunts finally became sensible and ended the topic with some regret. However, they haven't been to the town yet. They are in good spirits and continue another topic to wonder which family he is looking for.

Although Wu Qingyuan was a little helpless, he answered patiently. This is different from the gossip just now. Although these aunts have little knowledge, they are very well informed about the surrounding villages. It's not possible that they can talk about some useful information.

"Elder brother, do you remember wrong? We have many people who fled from famine and migrated here, but that was 12 years ago. At the beginning, many people starved to death in the flood and famine. Our village was lucky and didn't suffer, but many refugees came at that time. We all remember clearly that there would be no disaster in the next few decades..."

Chatting, one of the aunts really frowned and muttered.

"Yes, brother Wu, we have escaped from famine once in the past 12 years. Brother Zhou you saw yesterday was the person who came to our village at that time. I remember it all. See if you remember wrong?"

Lin amo also nodded. He didn't think about it carefully yesterday. Now his aunt mentioned it, and he was confused.

Yes, I heard Wu Qingyuan say that people were surprised to go when they were 70 years old. I didn't notice that there was another information about fleeing from famine. They had a major event of fleeing from famine 12 years ago. It was a bit wrong to go back to the previous decades with good weather and peace of the country and the people.

"Yes, brother Zhou is the group who fled from famine at the beginning. Why don't you go and ask brother Zhou about it."

My aunt's kind advice.

But as soon as he finished, the person next to him made a joke, "ask what? You're old and confused. Brother Zhou was only five years old at that time. What does he remember? I know that there are several people who escaped from Jianghe village. You can ask..."

"Bah, bah, bah, why can't I remember? I remember when I was five!"

Several aunts suddenly changed the subject and began to argue.

Wu Qingyuan didn't go to the audience's quarrel carefully, and his heart became confused. If he followed the words of several aunts and Lin amo, he might have made a mistake. The famine time is different, and Zhou Fuxi's age is different!
