Chapter 37

Ala Yanzong nodded and replied: "We all know each other."

The landlady was smiling all over her face: "It's good to know each other. Then you can take care of each other together and avoid trouble every day. Brother, you are in this room. The little girl comes with me, let's go to the ladies' room."

After that, he ignored the others and led Ula Zhitao out of the door and walked to another room.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Alayanzong said nothing and did not make any move. There were eight or nine people living in this small house, which was a bit crowded, so he asked, "Where am I?"

He patted the bed and said with a smile, "Niece, of course you can sleep on the bed!"

Seeing this, Ala Yanzong thought that if he slept on the bunk, he might be able to squeeze in, but he probably wouldn't even be able to turn over.

Seeing that the floor was quite clean and relatively spacious, he saw a mat rolled up behind the door and said, "I'll sleep on the ground floor."

Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you, without saying anything for a while. Seeing that Alayanzong was really starting to lay out the mat, Yeluheng said, "Isn't that wronging the young hero?"

Ala Yanzong replied while spreading the mat: "It would be wrong to sleep on the mat. It is more comfortable on the ground."

Everyone started moving one after another, looking for their original bunks.

Ala Yanzong put down his luggage and went to find Wula Zhitao to see how she had arranged it.

When he went to the next room and knocked on the door, Wula Zhitao came out with a smile on his face and said: "It's very spacious here. There are only four people in total, including Aunt Wanyan. You will definitely be crowded over there."

Ala Yanzong was relieved when he heard this and chuckled: "It doesn't matter, I'll lay the floor."

At this time, the landlady brought the bedding, and the two of them hugged each other and returned to the house.

The landlady then invited everyone to have dinner.

The tenants left the house one after another while muttering quietly. Alayanzong was hesitating whether to go eat some Hakka meals with Wula Zhitao.

The waiter at the fishing village shop who was walking at the end whispered in Ala Yanzong’s ear:

"This is a black shop."

Ala Yanzong was startled. He wanted to ask the waiter again, but he had already gone out.

Ala Yanzong quickly went in to find the peach of Ula.

When I went out, I met Wanyan, who was in full bloom and was walking towards me, twisting her waist and saying, "Brother, we meet you everywhere in life! I can meet you in this ravine. Come on, let's have some food together!"

"Haha! What a coincidence, Aunt Wanyan! You finally came out too. You go eat first, and I'll take a look at the Ula Peach."

Ala Yanzong knocked on the door and entered the female guest room. In addition to Wula Zhitao, there was a mother and daughter in the room.

The mother is about 25 or 26 years old, and the girl looks to be 7 or 8 years old.

Seeing Ala Yanzong coming in, Wula Zhitao smiled and said, "I was just about to go find you, should we improve things too?"

Ala Yanzong nodded and said: "Let's go together. Drinking something thin is better than chewing dried meat."

Seeing a mother and daughter sitting motionless on the bunk, Alayanzong asked, "Auntie, aren't you going to eat?"

The young and thin mother shook her head, "I can't afford it."

The little girl looked at Ala Yanzong with big eyes and leaned tightly in her mother's arms.

Ala Yanzong was a little surprised, "Is the food here expensive?"

"It's very expensive. If you can, save some. You have to take a boat."

Ala Yanzong and Ula Zhitao looked at each other.

Alayanzong took out two silver coins from his money bag, gave them to the young mother, and said: "You have to eat food, even if you don't want to eat, your children will also have to eat."

The young mother got the silver coins, her eyes filled with tears, she bowed on the bed and said:

"Thank you, benefactor, for saving my child."

"You're welcome, let's go eat quickly."

The young mother picked up her child and followed Ala Yanzong and the two to the West House Restaurant.

There were four tables in the room, each with four bamboo chairs, and the tenants each found a place to sit.

Four people from Ala Yanzong sat at a table.

Soon, the landlady brought the food.

Rice porridge, boiled potatoes, and stewed fish.

Each person has a portion of potatoes and stewed fish, and the porridge is served in a big basin.

The guests were silent and began to eat.

The little girl sitting opposite Ala Yanzong ate very hastily, as if she hadn't eaten all day.

The young mother on the side said bluntly: "Eat slowly, don't get stuck."

The little girl finished the fish and potatoes in the bowl in front of her, and also drank two bowls of porridge before she was full.

The others only ordered a portion of potatoes and fish.

After eating, everyone returned to the guest room one after another.

It was already dark by this time, and the guests were sitting on the bed, chatting with each other.

Ala Yanzong also understood everyone's experiences in the past few days.

Yeluheng and Yeluha fled westward in a hurry after their ears were cut off by the two leaders of the village and they were driven away from the mountain.

A day later, scabs formed on the wound on the ear.

The two of them ate wolf jerky along the way. When they reached the riverside, they had already finished eating the jerky. Fortunately, there was an inn here, so they stayed.

The waiter in the fishing village only set foot on the westward journey the day after Da Gu Jiu and Wan Yan left the fishing village.

The old shopkeeper divided the salted fish among them, saying that they would starve to death there if they didn't leave. They left too late and had no solid food to bring, so they would starve to death on the way.

The three people left the fishing village inn one after another.

The reason why the waiter left a day late was because he helped the old shopkeeper bury the young woman from the village who had twin children.

That day, when the waiter and the old shopkeeper arrived at the young woman's house in the village, the young woman had already dug a rectangular pit next to the graves of her children.

The young woman was already lying there, lifeless, and equally skinny.

The reason why the old shopkeeper and the waiter were able to find this place was because they smelled a putrid smell and looked for it.

After burying the young woman, the waiter left the fishing village the next day.

Before the waiter left, the old shopkeeper gave him a sum of money. The waiter was grateful, kowtowed to the old shopkeeper, and left with tears.

As for how the old shopkeeper will live in the future, he has no idea.

According to the narrations of several people, the reason why Alayanzong Yandong did not meet them in Taohualuo was because they took different paths.

Several people walked along the seaside until they saw the creek, and then rushed here along the creek.

Since there was no boat to cross the river, they stayed in the shop, and finally everyone gathered together.

Several other tenants whom Alayanzong did not know were said to have arrived here earlier. The boatman only ferried ten people at a time. They were left over from the previous wave of crossing the river.

Fortunately, I still have a little money, so I can barely afford to live in the hotel and start a shop.

In the women's room, except for the little girl who had fallen asleep after eating, three other women were also chatting together.

Only then did Ula Zhitao understand the origins of the mother and daughter.

The mother and daughter also arrived here early. The young mother's man died on the way, and his body was at the corner of the seaside.

Ula Zhitao understood that the corpse that was eaten by the vulture was the father of the little girl.
