Chapter 215: Fern Root
Zhu Xiaochang had this meaning, and waved his hand and said eagerly: "No, I don't mean this, Qinghe is very good to me, and it is my own reason that he treats me as well as my father and mother." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
The more he talked, the more unconfident he became, Xia Qinghe was really good to him, sincerely, if the people in the village misunderstood Xia Qinghe, or because of his relationship, he would definitely not be able to spare himself.
He just felt that living with Xia Qinghe would bring trouble to Xia Qinghe and Xiao Chu, his uncle's family was still in the village, and what would Xia Qinghe and Xiao Chu do if they had children in the future? He felt that he could take care of himself now, and it was not impossible to live alone.
Xia Qinghe looked at Zhu Xiaochang who was nervous gently, Zhu Xiaochang probably lowered his head because of entanglement or guilt, she comforted: "Do you think that living with us is causing us trouble? In fact, you don't have to think like this, I never felt that you were in trouble, this matter was decided like this, tomorrow I asked Aunt Chu to go to the mountains to dig fern roots, and then you will go with me." ”
Zhu Xiaochang always felt that he couldn't understand what Xia Qinghe was saying, what was this.
He thought for a while but couldn't figure out what it was, and asked, "What is a fern root?"
Most of the people in the village know that they can eat, or herbs, and ferns are only familiar in spring, and only the tender parts are pinched, but no one has eaten the roots.
Xia Qinghe probably explained, Zhu Xiaochang only thought it was amazing, how could this thing still be eaten!
In the evening, I simply cooked and ate together, and the new house was repaired and there was no treat, and it was planned to treat the guests after it was packed up, and the time could be calculated in a few days, just on the auspicious day of the zodiac.
At night, Xia Qinghe and Xiao Chu lay on the same bed, Xia Qinghe was used to sleeping with Xiao Chu, Xiao Chu was a gentleman, he had never done anything deviant, the two basically slept peacefully until dawn, sometimes Xia Qinghe slept dishonestly, and when he woke up in the morning, he would hang on Xiao Chu's body like a koala.
Xiao Chu was spoiled every time and let Xia Qinghe hold him, but the two became more and more tacit, and even Xia Qinghe's heart rippled.
When Xia Qinghe woke up, she found that she was hanging on Xiao Chu again, through the moonlight, watching Xiao Chu's even breathing, she stretched out her hand and gently touched Xiao Chu's well-defined face, but she felt that this man was like a fog, which made her want to understand.
She still had some doubts about Xiao Chu's identity, she didn't believe it would be as simple as Xiao Chu said, Rao was so, she didn't continue to ask Xiao Chu, when she saw Xiao Chu, she felt that she must have been the son of a big family before, after all, the extravagance on his body was not something he could cover up if he wanted to.
Maybe it is sharpened at the border, and there is a cold momentum on his body that ordinary people do not have, which is always intimidating, that pair of eyes is usually very approachable when he smiles softly, but as long as she becomes serious, Xia Qinghe feels that her own blood is imprisoned.
Xiao Chu's brows furrowed slightly, Xia Qinghe took her hand away in a panic, looked at Xiao Chu's face with a weak heart, and only breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that she hadn't woken up.
I don't know when it started, she cared more and more about Xiao Chu, otherwise Xia Qingxue wouldn't be so angry when she hooked up with Xiao Chu in front of her.
The first rays of sunlight poured into the house in the early morning, and Xia Qinghe opened his eyes and heard the sound of talking in the yard.
Aunt Chu seemed to be in a good mood and said with a smile: "Xiao Chang hurriedly smeared your legs with realgar, there are many insects on the mountain this season, and I will hang this cloth bag on my waist later, and if you have realgar, you will not be afraid of snakes approaching you." ”
Zhu Xiaochang smiled honestly, and the two of them were wiping up.
Xia Qinghe got dressed and walked out of the house, and Aunt Chu smiled and beckoned to her: "Qinghe, come and wipe yourself a little, you girl don't know, there are many insects on the mountain, especially in this season, I heard the people in the village say yesterday that Zhu Shuangjiang went to the forest to cut firewood, and saw a big cauliflower snake, and slipped past his feet, fortunately, the cauliflower snake is not poisonous, otherwise Zhu Shuangjiang will be miserable, and he will not dare to enter the mountain today." ”
Xia Qinghe is afraid of snakes, and he has been afraid since he was a child.
She took the realgar from Aunt Chu's hand and began to wipe it on her legs and legs, and finally felt that it was not enough, so she wiped a little on her collar, and finally hung a cloth wrapped around her waist to be satisfied.
The tip of her nose lingered with the smell of realgar, but she just felt comfortable and at ease.
Xiao Chu walked out of the stove house on the side, held a spatula in his hand and said, "I steamed steamed buns, you all hurry up and eat a little, and eat steamed buns and drink fish soup at noon." ”
The group ate breakfast and went straight into the woods with hoes and baskets.
The new home has nothing but furniture and daily necessities, and Xia Qinghe is not worried that someone will steal it, so he directly locked all the doors.
In summer, the woods are full of life, birds chirp overhead, monkeys can occasionally be heard in the woods, and various unknown insects make sounds.
The woods are very lively, Xia Qinghe looked left and right, and saw that there were folded ear roots under the trees, and he would dig them out with a small hoe and throw them into the cloth bag he brought.
The stream was murmuring, Xia Qinghe looked at the bluegrass growing on the stones by the stream, and always felt a little emotional, she was still looking for herbs to sell for money years ago, but now she didn't think about looking for herbs.
Ferns grow in patches, and prefer to grow in slightly drier places, Xia Qinghe found a lot of ferns at the foot of a mountain.
Aunt Chu had already guessed what Xia Qinghe was going to dig, so she picked up the hoe and started digging.
As soon as he dug it down, the fern root was dug out, Xia Qinghe quickly picked it up and took a look, and felt that the starch content was not bad.
Immediately beckoned Zhu Xiaochang and Da Huzi and Xiao Chu to dig up, while she herself was responsible for picking up the roots into the back basket.
I only carried two baskets today, so it was almost noon after digging the two baskets, Xiao Chu and Da Huzi had already carried bows and arrows into the woods, ready to go back with a little game, Aunt Chu admired Xia Qinghe very much, and said while picking up Gegen into the basket: "How do you know that these things can be eaten, but you were also a daughter before, so you shouldn't let you do these things." ”
Xia Qinghe didn't know if the previous owner would do things, but she knew that the original owner was not liked, and she was afraid that she would be bullied if she raised it on the Zhuangzi, and sighed and said: "I can't remember too many things before, but you can see the attitude of Master Xia and Xia Qingxue towards me, I am afraid that my life was not good before, and when I came, do you remember, the golden hairpins are hollow, I paid attention to Xia Qingxue when she came, and she couldn't buy a few dozen taels of silver on her face." ”
