Chapter Thirty-Eight: Piercing Directly into a Hedgehog
Xia Qinghe was moved by everything Xiao Chu had done for her, and she was grateful for her kindness, she planned to repay Xiao Chu better in the future. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
It's late for such a fuss, she sighed and said: "I wanted to go to the forest to dig kudzu, but now I don't have enough time, I dug one that day and came back tonight, we will eat cold powder, Xiaochang, you come over and I'll clean up the wound for you." ”
She looked at Zhu Xiaochang's face a little distressed, and it was scary to see the blood marks.
Zhu Xiaochang grinned and followed Xia Qinghe to the hall.
Xiao Chu felt that Xia Qinghe was right, the reason why these people entered the courtyard so easily was because there was not even a lock on the courtyard gate, if there was a lock, those people would not come in easily, the wall of the Zhu family was still very strong, and if the people outside were locked and wanted to come in, they would be able to climb over the wall.
Xia Qinghe called water to clean Zhu Xiaochang's wound, wiped off all the blood stains on his face, and said: "This wound is estimated to heal quickly, and you have to protect yourself next time you want to beat someone." ”
Zhu Xiaochang grinned, feeling that Xia Qinghe's action of cleaning his wound just now was gentle, just like his mother.
His eyes dimmed: "When my mother was here before, no one in the village dared to bully our family. ”
Mrs. Han is hateful, but she has done a good job in some aspects, and there is a reason why she protects her family with her toughness.
Xia Qinghe let out a long sigh, thinking of the Han Pozi he saw before, life is impermanent, who knew that a person would be gone like that.
Xiao Chu shook the door and walked over: "Qinghe, look for it and see if there is a lock or something." ”
If he had, he would be able to get the door done today.
Xia Qinghe had already turned the Zhu family upside down, and he really didn't find anything like a lock.
Shaking his head and said: "No, I also wanted to lock the door before, anyone can enter the yard, but I didn't find it after looking around, I will go to the town to sell a lock back in the next market, if not, I have to buy two locks, and then the door of the hall will have to be locked."
Xiao Chu agreed, Xia Qinghe felt that it was time to get kudzu, otherwise he wouldn't be able to eat it at night.
She looked at Xiao Chu embarrassedly: "You estimate that it will take a while before you can eat, and I still have to hammer the kudzu to filter it, and I have to stir the cold powder very slowly." ”
Xiao Chu didn't mind: "Don't worry, I'm not hungry after eating sweet potatoes, I'll go to the woods to see if there is any prey, if there is tonight, we can also feast." ”
As soon as Xiao Chu left, Xia Qinghe took out the kudzu root, probably found the stone mill directly, took a big stick and began to hammer it.
The kudzu root was broken little by little in Xia Qinghe's hand, and then turned into fibers one by one.
Zhu Xiaochang's hand didn't hurt much anymore, and he looked at Xia Qinghe's movements very incomprehensibly and said, "Qinghe, what are you going to do, this thing is really edible?" ”
He still didn't believe that Xia Qinghe's kudzu root could be eaten, mainly because he thought it was not delicious.
Xia Qinghe is more gentle with Zhu Xiaochang, and they all say that adversity sees the truth, although Zhu Xiaochang's head is a little dull at times, he is definitely a good person, with a pure heart, and he doesn't know how much better than Zhu Dashi's family.
"Naturally you can eat it, don't rob me when I'm ready at night, I'll tell you that this tastes very good, I'll start making it for you to watch."
She found a big white cloth in the cabinet of Mrs. Han's house, wrapped the kudzu in it, and then kneaded and squeezed it in the water.
Not to mention that a basin of water became turbid after a while, and she washed it again and again, until she could no longer clean the starch, then she stopped and quietly put the water aside and waited for the water to settle.
can't be idle, she went to the cellar to pick up half a basket of sweet potatoes and came out, planning to wash and cut the sweet potatoes, if she can tonight, she will trouble Xiao Chu to help her grind, and try her best to find free time to filter out the starch of sweet potatoes.
She also wants to pick more herbs and sell them, so that she can make more money and eat well.
And after having that broken silver, she obviously felt that she had confidence, even if something happened, she didn't have to run away and go hungry.
The water was cold and biting, and her hands were red after only washing a few sweet potatoes, and the sweet potatoes had to be washed, otherwise there was mud and sand in the powder and they could not be eaten.
Zhu Xiaochang pinched a handful of shallots and came back, and saw Xia Qinghe washing sweet potatoes with his hands, and his hands were still red, so he hurriedly ran to the firewood room and got a strange thing made of bamboo rhizomes.
"Qinghe, who said that you have to use your hands to wash sweet potatoes, you use this to move back and forth in the sweet potatoes, you see me like this." Zhu Xiaochang held the pole and rushed down a few times, not to mention that the few dirty sweet potatoes around him became a lot whiter.
She was pleasantly surprised: "This one really works." ”
Zhu Xiaochang was very embarrassed, and handed the things in his hand to Xia Qinghe with a smile: "That's right, my family used to use this to wash sweet potatoes, and you can wash it back and forth for a while." ”
Solving this trouble, Xia Qinghe was very happy in his heart, and washed the sweet potatoes with peace of mind.
Xiao Chu came back, with a rabbit hanging on his waist, and directly picked a bundle of fresh firewood into the yard.
Xia Qinghe thought it was firewood, so she just glanced at it and continued to cut the sweet potato, she cut the sweet potato into thin cubes and planned to grind it out later.
Zhu Xiaochang was very excited when he saw rabbit meat to eat, but he just shouted "ah" as soon as he walked in.
He pointed to the two bundles of firewood that Xiao Chu picked up in surprise and said, "How can you cut so many and stab them back." ”
Xia Qinghe stood up puzzled, watching Xiao Chu really pick up two bundles of thorn strips and come back, he didn't understand, this thing can't be burned.
Xiao Chu was very proud, a handsome face was full of smiles, and his smile looked much better than his usual cold appearance: "Naturally, it is on the wall, and there are also spread in the corner, those people will not give up, I just thought, they will definitely think of other crooked ideas, when the time comes, we lock the courtyard door, maybe they will think about falling off the wall, the corner of the courtyard is full of thorns, I see how they get in." ”
This is a good way, Xia Qinghe laughed happily, this is good, if they hurry up and directly tie them into hedgehogs, see if they dare to be arrogant.
The more Zhu Xiaochang thought about it, the more excited he became, and ran out with a firewood knife under the eaves.
"Where are you going?" Xia Qinghe asked helplessly.
Zhu Xiaochang just smiled at Xia Qinghe and ran away.
This thorn is not easy to get, she glanced at Xiao Chu's hand but saw that Xiao Chu's hand had a lot of blood marks, presumably when she got the thorn.
She said gratefully, "It's really hard for you." ”
Xiao Chu doesn't owe her, compared to what she still owes Xiao Chu, Xiao Chu helps her like this and makes her feel that she can't get over it in her heart.
I feel that the more I owe favors, the more I owe it.
