Chapter 70: Catching a Fish
"You take me out?" Jiu Niang glanced at Shang Qing in some surprise, then shook her head and smiled, "That's not good, I still have to help my mother take care of the family." www.biquge.info My father and brother have to go up to the mountains every day to hunt and support the family, and my mother is busy at home alone, so tired!"
Shang Qing's words were regretted as soon as he came out, he felt like a bad guy who abducted and sold innocent people's daughters, and now when he heard Jiu Niang say this, he also said casually: "That's right, if you leave, your family will be very sad." Besides, you're going to get married. ”
"Married? My brother hasn't married a daughter-in-law yet, how can I get married? I have to wait for my brother to marry my sister-in-law, and someone can help my mother before I can get married." ”
Shang Qing secretly admired in his heart, he had seen too many arrogant and domineering aristocratic women, but he had never seen such a caring and sensible woman as Jiu Niang, "Your mother has a daughter like you, what a blessing!"
"Ha, sometimes my mother says the same, but most of the time she scolds me for being a disobedient dead girl!" Jiu Niang said with a grin, and then continued to walk towards the stream with Shang Qing.
After a while, they came to the stream, and the water flowed down from the top of the mountain, where a water podium was formed, and where Jiu Niang's family washed their clothes and vegetables.
Jiuniang arrived at the stream, put down the basket, and then helped Shang Qing to a big rock by the stream and sat down, "You can rest here for a while, bask in the sun, it will be more comfortable." I went to do the laundry. ”
Shang Qing sat down obediently and put aside the wooden stick he had brought to make crutches. After Jiuniang settled down with Shang Qing, she went to sit down on a large flat stone by the stream that jutted into the water, took off her straw sandals, and prepared to wash her clothes.
Shang Qing saw her exposed little white feet, and immediately turned his eyes away. Although the defense of men and women in this era is not strict enough to look at their feet, they have to promise each other, but the education that Shang Qing received since childhood reminded him that he could not look at Jiuniang's feet. But he couldn't help but have a thought in his mind, Jiu Niang's feet are small and cute, so white!
Jiu Niang didn't know what Shang Qing was thinking, she was busy adding water to the leaves picked on the road, smashing them into mud, and then smearing the leaves with mud on her clothes and starting to wash her clothes. Shang Qing waited for her feet to step into the stream before turning her gaze back and watching Jiu Niang wash her clothes curiously.
"Fengqing, do you have any brothers and sisters?" Jiu Niang chatted with Shang Qing while scrubbing her clothes.
"I have three brothers and five sisters, but the sisters are already married. ”
"Then are all three of you brothers married?" Jiu Niang twisted the clothes in her hand vigorously, and said, "My family has only one brother and one son, but the money I have saved for so many years is not enough to marry a daughter-in-law." If your three sons want to marry a daughter-in-law, it must cost a lot of money, right?"
Shang Qing pondered and replied: "Our three brothers haven't married a wife yet, and the family still has a little money, so it's not difficult to marry a wife." Our brother didn't have a wife, but he didn't meet a suitable marriage yet. ”
"Then why did you fall down the mountain alone? When my father carried you back, you were scratched by rocks and branches, and you also had knife wounds, did something happen to you?"
"I ...... I came out to do business, and I was forced down by them when I was robbed on the way. ”
"I see, these robberies are really bad, fortunately you have a big life, and good luck, my father usually doesn't take that road, I don't know why he took that road that day, and then picked you up. ”
"Yes, I really want to thank your father, by the way, Jiu Niang, what's your surname?"
"My surname is Chun, Chun Jiu Niang. My father **Yang, my brother ** tree, my mother, others call her Aunt Chun. ”
Shang Qing nodded, finally figuring out the benefactor's name. He raised his head to look at the sky, it was the twilight of spring, the sun shone on his body warm but not hot, his ears were all kinds of birds and insects, and sometimes a breeze blew from the forest, cool and cool, very comfortable. In Phoenix, the three brothers are like anxious roosters, racking their brains every day to behave better in front of their father, and Shang Qing has not been able to enjoy such a quiet time for a long time.
He let out a long sigh of relief, and couldn't help but want to close his eyes and enjoy it, when he suddenly heard Jiu Niang exclaiming, "Fish!
"What?" Shang Qing hurriedly raised his body, "Jiu Niang, what's wrong with you?"
"There's a fish in the water!" Jiu Niang commanded as she tied her trousers above her knees, "You go find some thatch, and when I catch a fish, I'll throw it to you, and you can put it on." ”
Shang Qing nodded dumbly, Wear fish? He has seen roasted fish, fish stewed into soup, and dried fish that have been hung up, when did he pass through the live fish? But Jiu Niang had already gone into the water to catch fish, so he had to move down from the big stone and go to find the "hairy grass" that Jiu Niang said.
Big fish rarely appear in this creek, so Jiu Niang made up her mind to never let go of these stupid fish, there is a patient at home, catch a few fish and go back to cook soup, presumably it is also very good for physical recovery. She first picked up stones to build up the edges of the water to prevent the fish from escaping, and then began to touch the fish with her bare hands.
Shang Qing rummaged through the grass, but he couldn't find the "hairy grass" that Jiuniang said, so much grass, and there was no kind of grass that had hair!
"Ha! I caught it!" Jiu Niang was very lucky, and after a while, she caught a fish three fingers wide, which is considered a big fish in the creek. She raised her head and was about to throw the fish ashore for Shang Qing to wear, but saw him tossing and turning in the grass, not knowing what he was doing.
"Hey, Fengqing, what are you doing? Didn't I tell you to find thatch?"
"Yes, I'm looking for hairy grass, but there's no grass here that grows hair. Where's the grass you are talking about?"
Jiu Niang felt that she was about to faint, where to find such a stupid person, she didn't even know a thatch, she was so angry that she stomped her feet, but she stomped on her whole body of water, "You are all thatched in front and back, how can there be no thatch?"
Shang Qing pulled up a thatch leaf, "This is hairy grass?" "But there is no long hair, and there are some cutting hands on the edges!"
"Yes, yes, that's thatch, pull a few out quickly, come over and wear the fish!" Jiu Niang had already moved to the shore with the fish, for the sake of safety, she still didn't need to throw it, what if Shang Qing this stupid guy got the fish into the water?
Shang Qing obediently pulled out a few grasses and came over, and Jiu Niang stood in the water on the shore and handed him the fish, "Take it!
"Uh......" Shang Qing looked at the fish that had been moving his lips, and then looked at the thatch in his hand, "How do you wear it?"
Jiu Niang was already speechless with anger, snatched the thatch, passed through the gills of the fish, and then tied a knot, and said angrily: "Do you see it?"
Shang Qing nodded, raised the well-worn fish, leaned over to look at its gills carefully, trying to figure out which part of Jiu Niang was passing through, and suddenly the fish struggled, and the fish's tail hit him in the face, "Oops~~"
"Hahahaha......" Jiu Niang immediately pointed at Shang Qing's stupid appearance and laughed.
Shang Qing looked at Jiu Niang who was in the sun, showing her white teeth, and smiling very openly, and suddenly her heart was pounding, such Jiu Niang looked so beautiful!
