Chapter 44

The rain in the sky gradually became smaller and turned into a drizzle.But Zhou Lang and Itachi's bodies were completely wet by the rain.

When getting up from the muddy water, Itachi was very embarrassed, his eyes were dodging, and he didn't know where to put it.Zhou Lang was very happy, patted the muddy water on his body, and went to help Itachi tidy up the mess on his body.

At this time, her whole body was as dirty as a beggar, but her eyes were sparkling, extraordinarily bright.He put his hand on Itachi's arm, almost hanging on Itachi's body.

Itachi felt a little uncomfortable, wanted to move his arm, but held back.

He hesitated for a moment, and said seriously to Zhou Lang: "Senior sister, after we return to Xiangyang, why don't we ask master and mistress to make the decision and get married?"

Zhou Lang smiled and nodded: "Okay!"

Only then did Itachi heave a sigh of relief, thinking that he must get this matter done first when he goes back.But he was also a little worried, the number of times Huang Yaoshi took Fang Miaolan to visit and go back to Peach Blossom Island these years can be counted with one hand.

If he can't find anyone, how can he ask his master to decide to marry his senior sister?

Just as he was about to leave, Zhou Lang stopped suddenly, looked down at Weasel's waist, and asked anxiously, "Where's your bamboo flute?"

Itachi also looked down, and the bamboo flute usually pinned to his waist was gone.

"Ah, when I rolled down just now, I hit a rock, and I used the bamboo flute to block it, and it broke." Itachi explained.

"Crushed? Where is it!" Zhou Lang was anxious and regretful, she was still thinking about using it, but now it's gone.

She looked at the slope, which had been washed by the rain, and there were no traces of it.

"Senior Sister, don't look for it anymore, let's quickly find a place to stay overnight!" Itachi persuaded.

"Okay." Zhou Lang nodded with his mouth flattened, and reluctantly walked along the path down the slope with Itachi.

There was no shop in front of the village or back, and there was no horse to travel. The two walked for a long time before they vaguely saw a few scattered wooden houses in a mountain depression.

"anyone there?"

Itachi stepped forward and knocked on the door of a house, but no one answered.

"Anyone? Anyone?"

He frowned, and knocked on the doors of several other houses, but no one answered.

"That's weird." His brow furrowed even tighter.

Zhou Lang said: "Don't knock on the door, let's go directly into the house to have a look, either it's unoccupied, or something happened."

Although those wooden houses were old and dilapidated, there were a lot of sun-dried corn and some hunting tools hanging under the eaves, so it didn't look like no one lived there.

Itachi and Zhou Lang looked at each other, nodded, and pushed open the door of one of the houses.

The room was quiet and poorly furnished. A square table was placed squarely in the center, and there were only a few benches beside it. One of them was lame and was replaced with new wooden blocks.

Going further inside, there is a stove next to it, and there are two low-quality pottery bowls on the stove.Itachi stepped forward to touch the lid of the pot, and it was still hot.As soon as I opened it, there were a few brown rice buns inside.

Zhou Lang went into the bedroom next to him to check. The bedroom was also shabby, and the bedding was also a thin gray quilt, which was patched and very clean.Gray and white traces, it can be seen that the owner often washes it.

There was a sewing basket next to the bed, and there was a nondescript little tiger in it, and a worn-out man's clothes were thrown on the side, obviously put down by the owner hastily.

"Senior sister, I don't know where I went!" Itachi said to Zhou Lang after leaving the kitchen and turning into the bedroom.

Zhou Lang smiled and said, "People can't go far."

The owners of this house should be a man and a woman. The woman was mending clothes just now, and hurriedly hid.

Zhou Lang left the cabin and didn't enter any other houses anymore. He just stood in front of the house and shouted loudly: "Big brothers and sisters, we are just passing by and want to stay overnight. We are not bad people. You don't have to. Hide."

It was quiet around, no one answered, and no one came out.

"Everyone, we are really not bad people, you all come out?" Itachi also said loudly.

Still no movement.

After waiting for a while, Zhou Lang became impatient, and said directly: "Hide if you like, we just want to stay overnight. If you don't come out, we will choose a room to live in, and eat up your dinner!"

As soon as the words fell, there was indeed a rustling sound in the innermost room, as if someone had bumped into something.

It was calm again, and still no one came out.

Zhou Lang then said to Itachi, "Come on, let's go in for dinner and sleep here tonight!"

Itachi hesitated: "Isn't that good?"

"What's wrong with it is that they don't come out by themselves."

Looking back at those rooms, Itachi followed into the house, saw Zhou Lang went to the kitchen to get some steamed buns, gnawed on them himself, and handed one to Itachi.

Itachi took it, but held it in his hand and didn't eat it.

"Don't eat?" Zhou Lang asked strangely.

"No," murmured Itachi, suddenly remembered something, took out a small piece of silver from his pocket and put it on the stove, and then began to gnaw on the cornbread.

Zhou Lang looked at Itachi, smiled and boasted, "Itachi, why are you so cute!"

That dime can be enough to stay in the inn for several days, but Itachi took it out because he ate someone else's cornbread.

Itachi smiled shyly, took the steamed bread and started to eat.After a toss in the afternoon, he has been nervous all the time, and he is already very hungry at the moment.

Wowotou is made of coarse grains, and the degree of roughness exceeds everything that ferrets have eaten before.Even if he wanted to swallow it, he had to drink some water before speaking.

So the ferret stood up and turned around, looking for water, but he didn't know where it was.

"What are you looking for?" Zhou Lang asked.

Weasel had a big mouthful of steamed buns in his mouth, and was about to say "water", when an old lady suddenly called out urgently from outside the house: "Da Lang, your daughter-in-law is about to give birth! Da Lang, Da Lang!"

The old lady seemed to have lost her teeth, her voice was indistinct, and there was the sound of crutches hitting the ground, very anxious.

Only a man's rough voice responded: "Come on! Come on!" He asked again: "Is it going to give birth now? Where are you going to give birth?"

A woman scolded softly: "Where are you going? Just live here! Boil some hot water!"

The outside of the house suddenly became lively, with the sound of men running in a hurry, and the sound of children crying for hunger, and the old woman knocked on her crutches, and said in a leaky voice: "Don't squeeze, all go out. all out."

A man shouted: "Lady, she gave birth here, how can we sleep at night!"

The woman said angrily: "Sleep is not sleep. I will sleep with the baby at night, and you go to Dalang's house to sleep!"

The man wailed, "Da Lang, why did your wife give birth at my house?"

The man with the rough voice chuckled twice and said, "I don't know either."

Listening to the commotion outside, the mouthful of steamed buns in Itachi's mouth suddenly choked in his throat.He and Zhou Lang looked at each other, not knowing what happened.

"Let's go and have a look." Zhou Lang put the corn bread in his hand, pulled Weasel and walked out.

A few small lanterns had already been lit outside the house, and several children were at the door of another room, pulling a man to call him hungry. The man faltered in embarrassment, not knowing what to say.

As soon as Zhou Lang and Itachi left the door, the messy people suddenly became quiet.Everyone stared at them, with panic and fear on their faces. Even the children seemed to feel the tense atmosphere, and they all shrank, not daring to say anything.

Zhou Lang looked around, and suddenly found several familiar faces.

These few, aren't those big guys who robbed in the afternoon!

"Itachi, I didn't expect that we would meet an old acquaintance." Zhou Lang elbowed Itachi.

Itachi nodded, looked at those people, "So it's you." He asked calmly, "I called you just now, why didn't you come out?"

Zhou Lang also asked: "Yeah, old acquaintances, it's fine if you don't come out to greet them, but they're still hiding."

Fortunately, she gave them several ingots of silver!

I only heard a big man protecting a few children, tremblingly said to Zhou Lang and Itachi: "You guys, don't act recklessly! Otherwise, I will be rude to you!"

Several men around also protected the women and children behind them, and shouted: "That's right, we have a lot of people, so we are not afraid of you!"

Zhou Lang was startled, what's going on?Obviously she and Itachi were just passing by for the night.

Give them money, even if you don't treat them as benefactors, you can't treat them as enemies, right?

"Everyone, we're just passing by, wanting to stay overnight, and don't want to do anything." Itachi clasped his hands and explained seriously.

"What, staying overnight?" Zhu San asked suspiciously, just as he was about to say something else, he heard a woman's screams coming from the room, and another woman's coquettish scolding: "Third Brother, Da Lang! Where's the water? Is it ready? Bring it in!"

When Da Lang heard his wife's screams, he panicked. Regardless of the tension at the scene, he ran into the kitchen next to him, scooped up a basin of hot water, and rushed to the delivery room.

Zhu San looked at Zhou Lang and Itachi, pointed at them and yelled, "Don't mess around! The money will not be returned to you!" After speaking, he went to scoop up hot water.

Zhou Lang was immediately happy, because he was afraid that they would ask for their money back.

An old lady on crutches walked out tremblingly, and asked Zhou Lang with a smile: "Who are you? The daughter of the third brother's family? My daughter, are you nine years old? Or ten years old? Why are you so tall?"

Zhou Lang was stunned, and before he could answer, he saw a man in short cloth clothes come out quickly, and dragged the old lady to his home in embarrassment, while explaining: "My old lady is confused, she admitted the wrong person! Isn't that right?" I'm sorry!"

Seeing that everyone was gone, the children also huffed and ran to the house separately, leaving only a little girl with braided braids, sucking her little finger and staring at Zhou Lang and Itachi.

"Girl, everyone else has gone home for dinner, why don't you go back?" Zhou Lang bent down and asked her softly.

The little girl replied softly: "My mother is going to deliver my little brother, so she won't feed me!"

Zhou Lang glanced at the room behind her, there were a few figures in the room, obviously busy delivering babies.

She picked up the little girl and walked into the room where she ate the buns just now, smiling as she walked, "Your mother won't feed you, sister will feed you, okay?"

Itachi hurriedly followed: "Senior sister, isn't this very good?"

"What's wrong? No one cares about her?"

As soon as the words fell, Zhou Lang's skirt was grabbed by someone.

"Hey, put my sister down!" A skinny boy in his teens, holding the hem of her skirt with one hand and holding a branch in the other, glared at her angrily, as if she was a big villain who kidnapped children.

This is one of the bunch of children who ran away just now.

Zhou Lang twitched the corners of his mouth, and asked squintingly, "Boy, do you also know that you lost a sister?"

When I ran just now, why didn't I remember it!
