Chapter 48: The Oil Mill
[Ran^Text^Library] It was already mid-spring, and along the riverside, a peach forest was blooming, which was very moving.
Wuzhang River originates from Lingshan, gathers down from the mountain stream, and has become a river channel about seven or eight meters wide from the place where Zhuangzi is ten miles away, and the terrain is gentle from here, and the river water is not so turbulent as upstream, it is the place where the swimming fish are happy.
Now the peach blossoms are flying, and there are more schools of fish, and there are waves of flowers on the smooth river, and when you look at it, you feel jubilant.
Gu Xinyue began to roll up her trouser legs.
"Sixth girl, who are you?" Qin Qi took a net bag in his hand, and when he saw that several guards next to him turned their heads one after another, he turned around in surprise, and saw that Gu Xinyue's trouser leg had been rolled up to his knees, and he was immediately frightened.
He was thinking that with the lively temperament of the sixth girl (he only found out after leaving the house), instead of letting her be bored in the house and slipping away by herself, it was better to take her out together and enjoy the flowers next to her.
But what does this trouser leg mean?
Even your little arms and legs want to go down the river?
No, where did you get this peasant dress?
No, are you planning to wipe us all out when the general returns?
We didn't offend you!
Seeing that Qin Qi's eyes were wrong, Gu Xinyue looked at her skinny legs, searched in her memory again, obediently put down her trouser legs, and then circled around.
"What are you doing?" Qin Qi glared at her and said.
Gu Xinyue looked around, smiled sweetly at Qin Qi, pulled out two tassels from the sword spike of the long sword at his waist, squatted down, and tied his trouser leg tightly at his ankle.
Qin Qi's eyes widened, and he said, "Sixth girl, you don't want to go into the water, do you?" ”
"Don't worry, I'll swim." Gu Xinyue said without raising her head.
Qin Qi was speechless.
Is this a question of whether or not you can swim?!
If you really want to go into the water, not to mention the temperature of the cold water, as soon as your clothes are wet, you will come out again......
You just want the general to come back and kill us!
Feeling Qin Qi's eyes full of sorrow, Gu Xinyue raised her head, saw Qin Qi looking like she was about to cry, and then looked at the looks of several guards next to her.
Well, I think about it, although this body is not developed at all, but in the end it is also a fourteen-year-old girl, and there are some things......
"Oh, you don't see it!" After hesitating for a moment between talking about the rules and catching fish, Gu Xinyue decisively chose to catch fish.
Qin Qi's face was completely dark.
"Wow! Peach Blossom Fish! With a cheerful cry, a small figure scurried down from the embankment.
As soon as Qin Qi reached out, he grabbed Yue Zheng's collar and said with a dark face: "Stinky boy, you still dare to come!" ”
Obviously, he had already threatened him when he was kicked out of Zhuangzi, but this kid was not afraid?
Am I being too amiable?
"It hurts! Hey, I said you're too unreasonable, this isn't your family, this river belongs to everyone, anyone can come and catch fish! Yue Zheng shouted as she pointed to the riverbank.
On the embankment, villagers with fishing rods and nets in their hands stood in twos and threes, looking at them with apprehension and caution.
Qin Qi turned his head to look at Yuan Fang, who had come with them.
"The peach blossom fish here is very famous, and it can be sold at a good price in the capital, so everyone will come to catch some back." Yuan Fang bowed and said.
That is to say, the place is public.
Throwing Yue Zheng away, Qin Qi said: "You let them come down, everyone has their own ability, if they are caught, if they want to sell it, we will buy it at a price higher than the capital." ”
Yuan Fang's eyebrows were raised unconsciously, he said hello, and walked up to the river embankment to talk to those villagers.
Qin Qi turned around, pushed Gu Xinyue to the mat that Wen Zhu had already prepared, and said, "Sixth girl, the water is deep here, don't look at the calm on your face, in fact, the water is turbulent below, you can eat tea and snacks here." ”
Just stop tossing around!
Gu Xinyue's eyes rolled, and when she saw the villagers on the river embankment coming down in twos and threes, each looking for a location, she nodded and said, "Okay, I'm watching here, Qin Qi, if you can't catch it, I'll have to go down by myself!" ”
The corners of Qin Qi's eyes twitched, his eyes wandered around her one-meter-three figure and her one-meter-eight body, he laughed, picked up the net and walked towards the river.
This is blatant discrimination!
Gu Xinyue glared at his back angrily, hum, you wait for me!
"Girl, do you want to go down too? This is not good, the water here is very cold, the girl will stay ...... when she goes down" When Qin Qi and several guards began to enter the water, Yue Zheng came to Gu Xinyue's side, smiled Mimi, and before she finished speaking, she was glared back by Gu Xinyue.
"What girl? I still want to find a fight, right? Gu Xinyue glanced at him and said, "Girl, I'm fourteen years old this year!" ”
"Huh? No way? Yue Zheng's pair of peach blossom eyes couldn't be bigger, and her fingers shook from her head to the buttocks she was sitting on, and said, "Why, it won't be more than nine years old!" ”
Moreover, can a fourteen-year-old lady be like this?
You are the daughter of Dingguo, Gu Mohan's sister-in-law!
One or two! The fire in Gu Xinyue's heart was rubbing, she glanced at him with slanted eyes, and said coldly: "I'm a post-development, but you, a man looks like this, he can't pick his shoulders and can't lift his hands, what's the use!" ”
"Me?" Yue Zheng glanced at his thin body and said, "I'm only twelve, and I will have more opportunities in the future!" ”
"Hmph, then how do you know that I won't grow in the future!" Gu Xinyue rushed out, thinking that it was really a shame to discuss this kind of thing with a little guy, so she turned her head and ignored him.
Glancing sideways at Gu Xinyue, Yue Zheng sat down next to her, and easily twisted a piece from the dim sum plate placed on the mat and stuffed it into her mouth.
Seeing that Gu Xinyue didn't make a sound, Wen Zhu's lips moved, and he didn't speak.
There are many fish in the river, but not all fish can be called peach blossom fish, but those who are drunk in the river for more than half a catty are called peach blossom fish.
Those fish are in the middle of the river, and if you are not careful, the fish will not be caught, and people will be washed away.
Qin Qi and the two bold guards swam directly to the middle of the river, but the rest of the villagers only looked for the drunken fish floating down at the gulf stream by the river.
When the sun rose in the afternoon, some villagers sat by the river and chatted.
"I heard that the oil mill over there in Xinqiao is going to be sold, and I'm afraid that no one will harvest this year's rapeseed."
"Want to sell? Why? Isn't that an oil mill always doing a good business? ”
"That was originally the Yuan family's business, I heard that the Yuan family made a big mistake, and the family business was copied, you see, didn't the Zhuangzi on the mountain also change the owner?"
"Zhuangzi has changed masters? But I heard my in-laws say that it's still the Yuan family's steward, you see, isn't the Yuan family's steward still there? ”
"What do you know, my nephew works long hours in that Zhuangzi, and he changed it half a month ago, but he still uses the old people in the Zhuangzi, and the new master heard that his surname is Gu, but he is a great young general."
"Substitution? So what to do? I also expect them to hire day laborers in the fall, and I have a job to do. ”
"It's not in a hurry, my nephew said that the new owner said that it will be the same as before, and the autumn harvest of tung fruit will always invite people."
"But what if you take it? There is no oil mill, no one collects this tung fruit, there is nowhere to go, will the owner still fight? ”
Oil mill? Gu Xinyue frowned slightly, reached out to touch the snacks on the plate, but when she touched it, she felt empty, and when she turned her head, Yue Zheng had already eaten a mouth full of oil, curled up on the mat behind her and fell asleep.
Seeing that he looked muddy again, Gu Xinyue's eyes flashed.
