Salt Xiao Fulang

Chapter 1

With a crisp "pop", the small ancestral hall was eerily quiet for a moment.

Song Xu subconsciously covered his cheeks, opened his eyes in a daze, and saw a middle-aged woman in coarse clothes looking at him with tears on his face.

Her burly body rose and fell with the panting, her purple lips trembling uncontrollably.

"Second baby, my aunt watched you grow up. There was a severe drought the year you were born. Your mother was in poor health and couldn't produce milk. It was my aunt who nursed you for three months."

Speaking of this, the woman's tears became more turbulent, cut off by the ditch of years on her face, making her look even more desolate.

"Apart from your mother, the first thing you call is aunt. When you were three years old, you said that you should be filial to Aunt Niu when you grow up, respect and love her, and provide for her in the old age. When you were eight years old, you helped her for the first time. At home, your father gave you five copper coins. You went to the market to buy sugar, and when you came back, you secretly gave two yuan to your aunt, and even whispered to me that my little sister didn’t have any..."

The dense crowd of people around, how noisy it was before, is how quiet it is now.

Song Xu didn't react yet, and just listened in a daze.

"When did you grow crooked?"

In the middle of the ancestral hall, the old village chief had a pale face. He wanted to interrupt Aunt Niu several times, reprimanding her for not entering a place where only men could enter, and he was still talking nonsense here.

But the eyes of the twins and girls outside the door had clearly seen this scene in their eyes.

Aunt Niu didn't have a few words left, she stopped, coughed and gasped for several breaths, her eyes were full of pain and disappointment.

"Xiaochun is a good boy. Even if you beat him at home, or play tricks on him to ruin his reputation, or even let him kneel here, my aunt will know that he has always been a good boy. On the contrary, you, you have been so obsessed with it. It's gouging out my aunt's heart!"

Song Xu followed everyone's gaze to the center of the ancestral hall - he saw a thin man kneeling there, with disheveled hair, disheveled like a dog in water.

Song Xu swallowed subconsciously.

"You owe the 20 taels of silver to your aunt, and my aunt is in charge of your Uncle Wang, so I don't want you to pay it back. But from now on, our two families have cut off all ties, and we will never communicate with each other again. Erba, you can do it yourself!"

20 taels of silver!

There was an uproar inside and outside the ancestral hall.

20 taels of silver is not a small amount in a farm family, and some poor families can't save a tael of silver a year. 20 taels can be said to be the savings of many people's hard work all their lives.

Aunt Niu is Song Wang's mother-in-law. Song Wang's family has been doing well in the past few years. The sons are all grown up and have a job in the town. His family lives a relaxed life.

But no matter how loose it is, it won't be enough to give up 20 taels of silver to the juniors of distant relatives in one go! ?

And can Aunt Niu make the decision for Song Wang?

The clamor of the men and their wives outside was blocked by the sinister atmosphere of the ancestral hall. Aunt Niu didn't stay any longer after she finished speaking, she turned her head and left here a few steps, leaving only the village chief with a livid face, chattering around the villagers, and the kneeling The man and the confused Song Xu.

Song Xu's mind, which was stunned by that slap, gradually calmed down. He slowly turned his head and looked at the people and scenes around him——

The low earth ancestral hall, the green brick floor is covered with moss, everyone is wearing coarse cloth bunts and belts, which do not look like modern attire.

Slightly raise your gaze, past the crowd of onlookers at the door, you can see a primitive rural scene outside, and you can also see a few smoking chimneys.

Song Xu squeezed his wrist, frowned slightly, and sent out a soul torture to himself that hundreds or thousands of protagonists in novels shouted every year-this is me, have I time-traveled?

Does time travel include assigning a daughter-in-law?

The old village chief sighed: "Song Xu, although Aunt Niu said so, you can't really refuse to pay it back. Twenty taels is not a small amount. You can add up the sum when you go back, and punish your husband after taking it back. Allow people with foreign surnames."

He knocked on the pipe in his hand, and paused at the first step: "By the way, it's better to sell Xiaochun than to kill him. If you sell it, you can return some money to Song Wang's family."

Song Xu: "..."

What is Fulang?The man kneeling on the ground?

Song Xu didn't dare to utter a word.

He wasn't a lively character in the first place, but now he has strengthened his momentum so that he doesn't show a dazed look.

It is not a pleasant experience to be pointed at by people in a completely unfamiliar public place. Besides, Song Xu is extremely insecure now. He wants to follow what the village chief said, and quickly take his daughter-in-law who was assigned by his family because of time travel back home first. Home.

Judging from the situation just now, he hesitated for a long time before confirming from the eyes and movements of the crowd that this unkempt, thin man kneeling on the wet green brick... probably was the wife he assigned.

Song Xu felt uncomfortable for a while, and secretly scolded the former "Song Xu" who had been taken over by him. Did his wife murder or set fire to her? Is it worth making people kneel down and insult him like this?

He stepped forward quickly and gently took the man's arm, but he didn't move it.

"?" Song Xu tried again, but still couldn't pull the man up.

Song Xu frowned, bent down slightly, and saw that this man's face was as white as paper, his lips were bloodless, his eyes were half-closed under the cover of broken hair, and he was about to lose consciousness.

Song Xu's heart tightened, and he didn't care too much, he hugged him up and rushed out.

"Doctor, help me get a doctor!"

There are many people at the gate of the ancestral hall, Song Xu thought, no matter how hard it is, there will be one or two people to help, right?

He ran home in a hurry, with the wind all the way, and when he reached the broken house in front of his house, he realized that he hadn't thought at all just now, it seemed that the way home had become a kind of body memory.

Song Xu felt incredible, but now is not the time to pursue other things.

He put the male and female daughter-in-law on the bed, poured a bowl of water in a panic, and then leaned over to the bed, imitating the name of the cow aunt, and softly called: "Xiao... Chun?"

Xiaochun seemed to be trapped in some terrible nightmare, her eyes were closed, but her eyeballs kept moving.

Song Xu became more and more anxious, and reached out to pat the man's face lightly.

"Ah!" Xiaochun opened his eyes in a panic, sweating profusely, his eyes glazed over, and he rolled out of bed reflexively.Song Xu stretched out his hand a step slower, but before he could hold it, he saw the man kneeling on the ground in an extremely awkward posture: "I, I was wrong...don't hit me, don't hit me, I was wrong, I was wrong ..."

Song Xu was only stunned for three seconds, and the resentment in his heart gushed out: Is the former "Song Xu" a scumbag! ?

He picked up the man who was not very conscious, held his hands and feet that were kicking wildly, and said in a low voice, "It's okay, I'm not Song Xu!"

Xiao Chun froze, raised her head slightly, and glanced at Song Xu.

Then, like a frightened deer, he lowered his head again, his body trembling slightly.

Song Xu seemed to have been electrocuted.

Before, the hair covered the face so I couldn’t see it clearly, but from the golden angle looking down at 45 degrees just now, the man’s slender eye ends, the straight nose tip, and the fine eyelashes, obviously nothing is particularly gorgeous, but together It is light and flavorful.

Now, it is basically possible to appear in a Japanese magazine and praise the handsome guy of the salt family.

But at this moment, the handsome guy of the salt family was in a mess, and his slightly trembling body brought back Song Xu's mind.

He knew that the people in front of him didn't believe what he said just now, so he weighed the risk of telling the truth.

Of course the risks are great.

Even if he doesn't have much experience in reading time-traveling novels, and he just thinks about it differently, he should know that if in his life, he meets someone who whispers to you, telling you a big secret, I am from ancient times/ from aliens—

Welcome to the Mental Hospital.

But now, in terms of status, I have absolute control over this husband, don't I?

kill?sell?Song Xu felt a chill in his heart, isn't this against the law?

He had never coaxed anyone before, so he looked a little more clumsy at this moment, he just gently hugged him into his arms and patted him on the back: "Don't be afraid, I'll tell you slowly..."

"I'm also Song Xu, and I'm from another world. In my world, only men and women can get married..." Song Xu thought it was a bit funny as he said that, thinking about it, this ancient parallel world is quite open. Let's not specifically mention the United States and Europe.

"I used to be a graphic designer. My parents divorced, and my relationship with my mother was better. My mother died of liver cancer three years ago, and I have been living alone since then. I bought a car, but I haven't bought a house yet. I work out on weekdays and work out on days off. The three ex-boyfriends basically broke up for strange reasons..."

Song Xu thought, in order to make his own words more credible, he should not change his words in particular.

As for this set of information that he had filled out on several same-sex dating sites, he also spoke more and more smoothly——

"I hope that the other person is in good health, no promiscuity, no dating, and no random derailment before the end of a relationship. I don't think long-distance relationships are fruitless, but it would be even better if you are in Shanghai. We can work out together on our rest days. Music like Jay Chou , I don’t like heavy metal rock, my favorite book is White Night Journey, and the most annoying...uh.”

Song Xu stopped his behavior of endorsing in time, maybe he was a fool?

He propped up the person in his arms slightly, and looked down - Xiaochun's eyes were still red, but his body seemed to be warmer, but his eyes were full of bewilderment...

Song Xu chuckled in his heart: It's right to be ignorant, just pretend that I wasn't ignorant just now?

"Anyway, I don't know why. Just now, I suddenly came here from another world—possessed...possessed? Well, it's considered to be possessed, and it's on this Song Xu."

The person in front of him half closed his eyes again, and said hoarsely, "Then, when will this Song Xu come back?"

Song Xu frowned.

The skeleton of the man in front of him is not small. Although he hasn't looked in the mirror yet, according to the feeling that he doesn't violate, his height is probably about the same as his real self.And the person in front of him, by visual inspection, was at least 1.8 meters tall.

When he picked up the person, the touch and weight told him that although the little husband looked thin, he was not as light as a piece of paper.Probably because he has been working for many years, his muscles are well-proportioned, and his physique should not be bad.

But now, he seems to have been disheartened by the extreme blow. No matter how shocking words he threw out, or how many words he said that he couldn't understand, he was not at all curious. Awaiting the imminent trial.

Song Xu sighed.

Will you wear it back after time travel?He doesn't know...

If the promise is made easily now, if there is an emergency, will this Xiaochun collapse immediately?

But if he doesn't promise, will Xiaochun not even give himself a chance to face himself?

Song Xu didn't say anything directly.He smiled at Xiaochun, and then patted the person's face: "Don't be afraid, at least he hasn't come back yet, right? I'm here now, and I'm your new face... Gong. You rest for a while, I'll go cook for you."

……Cook.

Xiaochun played the role of stone sculpture in the room, and he installed wooden chickens in the kitchen.

Song Xu has lived alone for many years, and basically relies on takeout for a living. Although cooking a few small dishes is fine, but there are many high-end craftsmanship.

But what made him even more blind was the earthen stove...

How to make a fire?Which pot do you use for cooking? ...Where is Mi? ? ?Who am I? ? ?

But before Song Xu could continue to be dazed, Xiao Chun staggered out of the room.

His face was still pale, but he still managed to tie up his hair again in the room.This made him look a lot less embarrassed.

He lowered his head and walked around Song Xu who was stunned by the door, and said in a low voice: "Husband, please go to the outside room, the meal will be ready soon."

Song Xu felt very uncomfortable.

He watched Xiaochun busy in the kitchen by himself, making a fire and cooking by himself, standing up and squatting down, non-stop.

He looked a little tired, Xiaochun, who seemed to be in bed for half a month to get better, actually finished it all by himself like a tireless machine.

Song Xu wanted to take over his work several times, but he also knew that he couldn't do it, and intervening would be a disservice, and if Xiaochun didn't do it, both of them would be hungry.

He became a little irritable, why didn't the doctor he asked those villagers to call before come?

How did he know that those people thought he heard it wrong... Because Song Xu's family really has no money now, if someone meddles in his own business and really calls the doctor, who will pay the consultation fee?

While Song Xu was hesitant to speak, the two finally sat down at the dinner table.

In the bowl in front of the two of them was some grayish thick rice, and the dish was a plate of scrambled eggs with wild vegetables.

Song Xu probably guessed that the situation at home was not good, so he didn't say anything. He picked up a chopstick of an egg and put it in his mouth, his eyes widened immediately - delicious!

Obviously, there is almost no oil in this plate of fried wild vegetables, but the local eggs alone are delicious enough.The golden color and soft taste are completely different from the current feed foreign eggs.

Song Xu couldn't help picking up two more chopsticks, and then realized belatedly that Xiaochun only picked up wild vegetables and didn't even touch the eggs.

Song Xu sighed again in his heart, lamenting this era of crimes, and took the initiative to put a chopstick of eggs into Xiaochun's bowl.

Xiaochun was stunned for a moment.

He didn't look up, and walked around the piece of egg carefully, as if it was just something that the person across from him accidentally dropped into his bowl, and he couldn't even touch it.

Song Xu was a little anxious: "I gave it to you, eat it!"

Xiaochun seemed to have just listened a little bit, stopped his chopsticks, looked up at Song Xu blankly and cautiously.

That pair of watery eyes seemed to look straight into Song Xu's heart.

Song Xu couldn't help but raised his hand and rubbed Xiaochun's head, and asked, "I'm really not the Song Xu I used to be. I don't know you yet, I just heard that Aunt Niu called you Xiaochun. What's your last name?" "

Xiaochun put the egg into his mouth, his hand holding the chopsticks trembled slightly.The moment he swallowed, a tear fell into the bowl.

"My, my surname is Chun. I welcome Xia." He replied hoarsely.

He still didn't seem to believe Song Xu's words, and only regarded it as another vicious trick—but even if it was only for a moment, he hoped that this gentle Song Xu could continue to act, he longed for the gentle embrace for many years, caught Eggs in a bowl... even if there will be a worse future, such as being sold.

He is willing.

He wanted a taste of tenderness and satiety.

Song Xu would never know that his future husband once thought that piece of egg was his "beheaded meal" during their first meal.

Although their lives get better and better in the future, Xiaochun has also tasted many wonderful delicacies that are more cherished.

But only the scrambled eggs at that moment were the best thing he had ever eaten in his life.
