When the stone widow slept, the brook had to be kept watch in the yard in case she woke up to drink water or someone knocked on the door to buy wine. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After lunch, the sun was warm, and the brook was fine, so I moved a chaise longue and lay under the eaves outside the stone widow.

Ji Ran said to her and went out, without taking a bucket, and I don't know if I went to fetch water.

Xiaoxi didn't care about him, in fact, at this time, it was still easy to eat a full meal, and it didn't matter if he had one more mouth.

Although Shennong had tasted a hundred herbs, his knowledge was still only in the hands of a few.

Most people rely on extremely limited food for their livelihood.

The Stone Widow was one of the few who knew a lot of knowledge, and so did Xiaoxi, so the two of them, even if they didn't sell a pot of wine in a month, still couldn't go hungry.

Since Xiaoxi arrived here, although he has been beaten and scolded by the stone widow all day long, he has not suffered any other grievances.

She didn't know how she got into this world or what her mission was.

It seems that she only remembers that she and the little zombie died together.

She thinks she's forced to be helpless, and it doesn't belong to the unnatural death caused by her, right?

The task of the previous life was to raise the baby to adulthood, but she left early, and she didn't know if the mission was a success or a failure.

Now that I'm here, Xiao Ling hasn't heard any news.

Xiaoxi doesn't know what her goal is, she just knows to take it one step at a time and live as long as she can.

The methods and martial arts techniques she mastered would be practiced at night or when no one was around.

When I went out with the stone widow, I tried my best to learn from her valuable experience.

If you just live in this town with the stone widow, Xiaoxi thinks that it is actually a very easy thing.

She thought about it in her head, and after lying down for a while, the more she lay down, the more awake she became.

So I just got up and found something to do.

The Stone Widow would make a variety of sake, and the materials used to make it were also diverse in this era.

Many of the materials were picked up by the stone widow herself in the wilderness.

Shimen Town is next to the Yellow River, leaning on Jishi Mountain, and there is no large area of fertile land around the town.

On the contrary, on the rocky mountain, the land is rich, the species are abundant, and there are many things that can be found.

By this time, millet and rice had already been planted, but yields were low.

Although Stone Widow's wine is very low in purity, most of it is water, but it still needs some grain to ferment.

The first step before fermentation is to wash the grain and soak it in water.

The food that the stone widow got was even in the shell, and there was no threshing machine at this time, so it had to be cleaned manually many times.

After a while, it was almost dark, and the voice of the stone widow came out of the house: "The old lady has been woken up by hunger!" Dead girl, is the meal ready? ”

The creek looked up at the sky, and the sunset was still there.

"It's already being prepared!"

She took a glass of water and handed it to the Stone Widow to drink.

The stone widow drank it dry, and then got up and dressed.

Xiaoxi picked some seasonal vegetables from the vegetable garden in the backyard and cut a long strip of dried meat hanging from the eaves under the eaves.

Ji Ran hasn't come back yet, and he doesn't know why he went out for so long.

Xiaoxi thought about it, but still made his share of the meal.

The stone widow glanced at the heartless girl, touched the two golden knives in her pocket, and said nothing.

She could see that Ji Ran was not an ordinary person.

Besides, the surname Ji was born in Jiangshui, so he can't get rid of that family.

It's someone that ordinary people can't afford to mess with, and she doesn't want to mess with.

It always doesn't matter if an ancestor makes offerings first, and when he stays for a while, he will know how boring it is.

For dinner, only the mother and daughter eat.

The creek kept looking at the door, a little indescribably lost.

As soon as this person met, he gave her such a sense of familiarity and intimacy.

Obviously, it was okay before she went out, but if it suddenly disappeared, she would probably be the only one who was uncomfortable.

The mother and daughter had a rare quiet dinner that they had never had before, thinking about their own thoughts.

When it was completely dark, the stone widow lit an animal oil lamp and hung it on the apricot tree in the middle of the courtyard.

After a good night's sleep in the afternoon, it's time to go out and fetch water in the evening.

The stone widow took out the bucket in the house and whispered, "Look at the house!" ”

Xiaoxi didn't know if Ji Ran would come back or not, but this water was in a hurry to be stored.

So he nodded and said, "Got it!" ”

The stone widow often left the brook at home, and all the coping methods were explained to the brook many times.

The door must be locked, someone knocks on the door to listen to the sound first, familiar people ask what to do, and unfamiliar people don't care.

If there is a situation, go to the secret room of the wine cellar and hide.

The creek is naturally not afraid of being left alone in the tavern.

She brought the unfinished dishes back to the kitchen, covered them with a hood, and washed the dishes and chopsticks, and the stone widow returned.

Xiaoxi opened the door and saw Ji Ran standing next to the stone widow with a bucket and a flat pole.

"You're back!" The brook was both surprised and happy, and didn't even notice that the bucket was empty.

When they were both in the courtyard, Xiaoxi locked the courtyard door and realized how the two of them had come together.

"Why did you come back together?"

"Xixi, you take the bucket and put it away."

"Oh!"

Xiaoxi took the empty bucket, sighed, and saw that Widow Shi and Ji Ran were walking towards the water cellar, so he hurriedly put the bucket and followed.

Ji Ran went to the edge of the water cellar, took out the jade bottle, pulled out the stopper, and filled the water cellar.

He said to the stone widow, "This jade bottle cannot be made out of nothing, it can hold three times the water of the water cellar, and it will not gain weight." You keep it handy, ready to go. ”

The stone widow didn't seem surprised by such a trick, but she refused to take the jade bottle.

And the fierce appearance of his usual speech has also become a lot gentler, "We can't ask for such a valuable thing." It is a blessing for us that you are willing to stay in my house. Don't mention the work, you can live as long as you want. ”

Ji Ran said: "This jade bottle was carved out by me, it is very simple, and if you want to say that it is valuable, it is only that the jade is not common." If you don't want it, I'll send it to you next time. ”

His things were not put away by the stone widow, and the two did not discuss the work again.

Ji Ran officially stayed in the tavern.

Ji Ran went out that day and came back, and his down-to-earth temperament was replaced by a sense of self-confidence and pride.

Although he was still too thin, he followed Xiaoxi's mother and daughter for a while, and the meat on his body gradually grew.

The stone widow said to the outside world that it was the child of a distant relative's family and came to take refuge.

The town didn't show much curiosity about Ji Ran who suddenly appeared.

It is said that there is going to be a great drought in the world, Ji Ran brought some news from afar, and the mayor of the town is organizing everyone to deal with it together.

In addition to helping out at Widow Shi's house, Ji Ran was often invited to the mayor's house to give advice. (To be continued.) )
