Chapter 4 This mountain is my opening
Xiaoyu paced back to her guest room and thought about her father's and mother's words, but she still didn't think so. Let's just say that I have this temperament, where can I tolerate so much messing around with others. Either the family was turned upside down, or they restrained their temperament. Thinking about it like this, I feel that I have changed my personality like my second sister-in-law, and Si Swenwen's is not bad.
was crooked on the bed tossing and turning and longing, Zhong Min, who was in the same room, saw that she was not sleeping honestly, so he couldn't help but say, "Don't go to sleep soon." The second brother said that the road was not easy to walk, so he had to get up early. ”
Xiaoyu fell asleep steadily.
When she got up the next day, the little girl had long forgotten that she was still thinking about wearing a skirt to learn from her second sister-in-law last night. I was full of thoughts that those boatmen might not give up, and now I had fun watching it, while thinking, while dressing neatly. Thinking of the happy place, he chirped and laughed endlessly, and Zhong Min shook his head when he saw it.
Seeing this, Xiaoyu hurriedly leaned over: "Sister Zhong, there must be a good show today, you have to get the guy ready." As he spoke, he looked Zhong Min up and down. "When the time comes, you can sit in my mother's car and protect her. Well, let the second sister-in-law and Mrs. Lu also go to sit in the mother's car. Seeing that Zhong Min ignored her, he patted his head again and said, "Oh, I'm afraid that you can't protect the three of them alone." ”
Zhong Min glanced at her, sighed and said, "I'm afraid that none of your three brothers can protect you." ”
Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, shrugged her nose unconvinced, turned around and picked up her bow and arrow, and then said with her chest straight: "Hmph, I'll let you see how powerful my Xia Jiuniang is today." With that, he ran out with a puff of smoke.
When I got downstairs, I saw that the business man from yesterday was following the second brother, and a few brothers were talking with smiling faces. As soon as he saw Xiaoyu coming down from upstairs, he immediately greeted him with a smile.
Xiaoyu also said hello with a smile. The man who ran the business introduced himself and said: "The contemptible person's surname is Zhang, and his name is Zhang Xiangcheng." Xiaoyu hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Brother Zhang, it's good! With a smile, he approached the shopkeeper and asked, "How far do you have to go out of the city to have a sharp place?"
The shopkeeper was also amiable, and said in a low voice: "Your brother inquired yesterday." Originally, there were a few sharp ones around here. This will be a war, a levy of grain, a conscription, and a lot of people who can't survive will fall into the grass. Those few sharp spots are not very safe at this time. But you all ride horses, hurry up, and you will definitely be able to reach the neighboring Huxian County before dark. ”
Xiaoyu nodded and said, "Yes, how did I forget it." Yesterday, Sister Zhong also said that it was a long way to go, and told me to go to bed early. As he spoke, the person had already run out to urge Xiao Er to prepare early, and he slipped away to the backyard stable to check the carriage and horses.
Zhang Xiangcheng hurriedly followed when he saw it, not wanting Xiaoyu to be busy like a whirlwind, and the person disappeared in the blink of an eye, and when he turned around, he didn't know where he came out again. The inspection of the car was very detailed, rolling under the car for a while, and jumping on the wheel and looking at the roof of the car with a canopy.
It just so happened that the second brother came out at this time, and saw that Zhang Xiangcheng was running closely beside Xiaoyu, and the two of them almost bumped into each other several times, thanks to Xiaoyu's dexterous body, he could always dodge left and right.
The second brother frowned and stared at Zhang Xiangcheng and said, "What's the matter, what are you doing with her?"
Zhang Xiangcheng saw the second brother with a black face like an iron tower, and even the two sentences of the scolding seemed to have an echo, obviously he had already seen him shut up, and every word seemed to be echoing in his ears. A face was even more frightened, and he couldn't say anything for a long time.
Xiaoyu patted the wheel of the car and ran over: "There are only two of them, and there is no serious place in front of them, so they want to partner with us to be brave." ”
The second brother snorted coldly when he heard this: "Today is far away, how can we have that idle effort." ”
Xiaoyu turned her head and squeezed her eyes with Zhang Xiangcheng when she heard this: "Hear it, if you have a horse, you can still keep up, otherwise you can only wait to partner with those scholars." ”
Zhang Xiangcheng listened and said in a hurry: "There are horses! There are horses! The man has already gone out to buy a horse." ”
Xiaoyu told again: "Hurry up, don't wait for it." ”
Zhang Xiangcheng hurriedly said with a smiling face: "That's, that's." It's still the little brother who is righteous and thin. ”
Xiaoyu listened to the joy, but he didn't say that he was so young that she was easy to talk to, and she was angry when she saw her second brother. Turning his head, he said with a straight face: "I didn't take you for nothing." What business do you do?"
When Zhang Xiangcheng heard her ask, his heart became more and more down-to-earth: "My family has been in the silk business for several generations. In my lifetime, there are too many children and grandchildren, and I don't have much money. Alas, there is no way, otherwise this army is in chaos, who wants to run so far away from their hometown. ”
Xiaoyu sighed, squinted his eyes and said, "I came out this time to make a name for myself in the rivers and lakes." From now on, you can run the goods under my banner. ”
Zhang Xiangcheng secretly looked at Xiaoyu again, and for a while he only felt that his throat was a little blocked, and he couldn't advance or retreat. If he can use the banner of Second Brother Xia, he will be grateful, this kid
Xiaoyu didn't look at him, leaned on the car, squinted at the sun and said happily: "In the future, your income in the north will be counted as my 10% shares." ”
Zhang Xiangcheng opened his mouth, and he didn't know what to say.
Mrs. Xiao Xia and Mrs. Lu and other female dependents have already come out. Xiaoyu pinched his eyes at Zhang Xiangcheng: "Let's decide." After speaking, he didn't wait for him to talk, so he ran to the side of Xiao Xia Pozi and diligently helped Xiao Xia Pozi to get into the car.
Soon after the Xia family's team set off, Zhang Xiangcheng took his men and rode a tall horse. Although the two of them were swayed from side to side, they were all meat and eight vegetarians, and they were finally caught up. I didn't dare to lean too closely, for fear of annoying people, so I walked not far away.
At noon, the team did not stop to rest, Xiaoyu and Fang Zhun went to the front from time to time to explore the way, and deliberately led the convoy to avoid the sharp place. After more than an hour like this, Xiaoyu and the others found an open and flat place and stopped the carriage. Xiao Xia didn't bother to come out, so they ate something in the car.
Xiaoyu packed some food, found a big tree, took out a rope and tied a circle and knotted it, picked up the thick branch and threw it over, sat in the circle and asked the fifth brother and the starling to pull her to the tree, so that she could climb to the treetop after a few trips back and forth. I found a strong branch and sat down, eating and looking around.
When the second sister-in-law saw it, she said to the second brother: "The ninth sister is also too careful. At such a moment, I don't forget to give us a sentry. ”
The second brother smiled and said, "You can think like this at home, she can't wait to become a bird and live in a tree." ”
As the two of them were talking, there was a faint wolf howl, which was getting closer and closer, and louder and louder. The second sister-in-law was startled and hurriedly hid behind the second brother, and Rulan beside her was also taken aback when she saw her mother's strange expression, and her face couldn't help but show a shrunken look. When the second brother saw it, he was a little displeased in his heart.
I had to wave my hand and listen intently for a while: "Don't be afraid, it's Aunt Xiaoyu who is doing the trick." It must have been that she couldn't see anything, pretending to be a wolf to scare the timid beasts. Lan'er, you are a boy, you have to protect your mother. ”
Rulan looked at her mother with a pout, and then turned her head to look at her father, and then said childishly: "Dad is a boy, and Dad protects his mother." ”
The second sister-in-law patted the second brother gently: "The child is still young, don't worry." Fang Zhun stood under the tree and listened intently for a while, then turned his head to look at the second brother, and let out a long sigh. Sure enough, the ghosts cried and the wolves howled for a while, and there were birds and hares scurrying in the forest. Xiaoyu pulled the rope and slowly lowered herself from the tree, and said with great interest: "I see that group of gangsters is not far ahead." As he spoke, he looked at Chen Peng and said, "Brother Chen, why don't we go and have a look first?" The second brother hurriedly stopped her when he heard this: "Don't worry, don't worry, your mosquito louder sound, no matter how far away those small animals can't hear it." Let's get on the horse first and protect the vehicle. Xiaoyu looked at the second brother angrily on the side, and was about to argue, when he saw the three scholars running over from behind on horseback last night. Xiaoyu couldn't help but lift her spirits, and hurriedly leaned over and asked loudly, "Did you meet the robbers in the back?" The scholars fled very much, and when they saw that there were many people here, they dared to stop and reply: "Why are you still so at ease, didn't you hear the wolf howl just now? The crowd burst into laughter.
