"Bang, bang."

Taozi slapped the wooden door, which made a groaning sound.

An old woman came out.

The old woman was wearing tattered clothes whose original color was hard to see clearly. Her gray-white hair was messy and stuck to her forehead. Her waist was bent at a terrible angle. Liu Taozi could clearly see the hair on her head that was not covered by it.

covered place.

"It's Tao Zi who's here!"

"My mother asked me to send this."

Liu Taozi put down the package, took out a bone wrapped in meat, and handed it to the old woman in front of him.

The old woman took the bone tremblingly.

"Have you seen your third brother? He said he was going to build a pagoda. Has he finished it?"

"I have no idea."

The old woman was stunned for a while, "Okay, just wait for me."

The old woman walked back tremblingly, and soon she was back in front of Liu Taozi again.

"You bring these two chickens to your mother."

"I made dinner for lunch, and I asked your third brother to deliver it to your home."

Liu Taozi nodded, took the things, turned and left.

The old woman stood at the door, looking at Liu Taozi's back, and did not move until he walked away.

Liu Taozi came to the next courtyard.

The woman enthusiastically invited Liu Taozi into the hospital.

"Is it Brother Tao?"

"Let him in!"

There was a sound from the inner room.

Liu Taozi carried the meat and walked into the dark inner room. A sloppy man with a strong stench was lying on the couch. He struggled to get up, but there was no calf under his knees. He didn't know if he could do it like this.

It counts as sitting.

The man's face was tangled, and there was unspeakable guilt in his eyes.

"Alas, in the past few years, thanks to your support, I have become less and less able to go to the fields."

"My mother said that this is how neighbors should be."

"Besides, you also taught me Xianbei dialect, which is very useful."

The man's face condensed, "Have you met the Xianbei people?"

"Don't get close to those people. Those people are very ferocious, and there are people who would pick off your head to lead the army."

The man suddenly looked at his wife beside him, and his expression became irritable, "What are you still doing in a daze? Where's the food? You haven't cooked the food so late, are you letting Brother Tao wait in vain?"

"If it weren't for Brother Tao's gift, we wouldn't be able to open the pot at home. How would you expect me to cook?!"

The two yelled at each other.

"I won't eat any more. I still have some to deliver."

“Eat a meal before leaving!!”

"Next time."

"You kid. Get some for the kid. Get some."

The man looked around, groping helplessly, and finally smiled desperately, "Be careful on the road."

Liu Taozi walked on the path again.

At this time, I can finally see some people, including women, old people, people who have never grown up, and disabled men.

They carried various tools and greeted Taozi warmly.

Tao Zi no longer has to go to their homes, stop them and distribute food one by one.

When he reached the farthest point of the village, Liu Taozi suddenly stopped and slowly looked to the left.

The door to the courtyard was closed tightly, and faint sounds of crying could be heard from inside.

The cry was very resentful.

Liu Taozi gently approached the courtyard, and then kicked it out. The wooden door was so violent that it shattered and collapsed.

In the courtyard, a four or five-year-old child was squatting at the door of his home. At this moment, he raised his head stupidly, his face was a mess of tears and snot.

He was wearing a huge coat that covered his entire body, leaving only his head exposed.

His eyes were red and swollen from crying, and he was trembling.

Liu Taozi looked around, "Where are you?"

"Brother Taotaozi!"

Seeing an acquaintance, the child cried again.

"I went out before dawn yesterday. I said I would pick up something to eat and come back after dark."

"But he, he, hasn't replied yet. I'm scared alone."

As he spoke, he started crying again.

"Stop crying!"

The little baby was so frightened that he quickly covered his mouth, not daring to make a sound and sobbing silently.

Liu Taozi dropped the package in her hand, "Pick it up and follow me. If you dare to cry again, I will feed you to the fishes."

The little boy picked up his clothes, hurriedly picked up the package, and followed Liu Taozi.

Liu Taozi walked back this time, but there was a little tail behind her.

"Go away, go away!!"

A shout came from the front.

A girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, skinny as a stick, barefoot, with two thin bamboo pole-like legs stuck in the mud.

She was carrying a bamboo basket on her back. The bamboo basket was very heavy, and it was filled with hay.

Standing in the middle is a fat man, with fat all over his body, big ears, and fat streaks on his neck. Standing next to him are two muscular followers.

The two were tall, with round bellies, one on the left and one on the right, with their heads raised and fierce expressions on their faces.

"Why are you angry? I just want to buy your clothes."

"Don't you want to sell it?"

"You are very clever. It rained last night, so you went up the mountain to collect herbs this morning, and they were all mixed with water."

As he spoke, he reached out to pick up Shu Bing, but his hand seemed to be touching the other person's face.

A guard quickly grabbed the fat man and pointed at Liu Taozi in the distance.

When the three of them looked at Taozi, the girl quickly walked away from the side. The fat man stretched out his hand to block her, but slowly lowered it.

He looked at Liu Taozi and smiled, showing his dark rotten teeth.

"Brother Tao, is your grandpa okay?"

Liu Taozi didn't answer, but walked straight towards him without slowing down, and just ran into him head-on.

The man panicked and hurriedly avoided it. Liu Taozi bumped into him and completely disappeared into the distance with her little tail.

The man on the left shouted angrily: "Is Orion's son so arrogant? I have to kill him!"

Another echoed: "This bitch, I'm going to stab him now."

Their voices were like thunder and thunder.

The fat man hummed, and even when he didn't speak, there was always a vague hum coming from his nasal cavity.

"One more time, I'm not"

Before they finished speaking, Liu Taozi's figure appeared in front of them again, and Liu Taozi walked towards them quickly.

The fat man stopped talking, and the two people on the left and right turned pale and took a step back.

The fat man showed his big rotten teeth again.

"Brother Peach"

Liu Taozi spoke, "Would you like to keep the deer skin?"

"Collect it, collect it. I'll send someone tomorrow. I'll pick it up myself."

"Um."
