Chapter 2 Qingyun Village
Qingyun Village, about 100 households population, can be regarded as a big village, although the folk customs are simple, but the villagers inevitably have a little noise between each other, these days are a little different, every household is like the New Year, lively and extraordinary. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Second Aunt Zhao is a well-known tongue chewer in the village, but she can't stand her well-informed, what's going on in this neighborhood, there is nothing she doesn't know. There is a locust tree in the village courtyard, which is 300 years old, and the canopy is 30 or 40 meters wide, which is a resort for villagers to chat and enjoy the shade.
"His second aunt, what kind of discipline do you say this immortal recruits apprentices? The two rabbit cubs in my family can't be said to be able to enter the eyes of the immortal master this time, that is the blessing of eight lifetimes of cultivation! Zhao Liang's daughter-in-law said with her eyebrows squeezed, her eyes full of awe and yearning for the immortals.
"it, maybe this is really true, how can we ordinary people understand the methods of this immortal, I heard the old woman of my family say that this has to be immortal!" Second Aunt Zhao glanced at the surrounding daughters-in-law and said mysteriously, as soon as she opened her mouth, several aunts came to this side and came over, "How do you say this?" "Yes, his second aunt, if you want me to say, this person with immortal fate must be those who are smart and clever! Like my family, Dazhu has been exuding a wit since he was a child. ā
These people scrambled to speak, and Second Aunt Zhao smiled proudly, "This fairy fate, it's about spiritual roots!" "Spiritual roots? This person is not a plant or tree, why does he have roots? "That's right, his second aunt, aren't you teasing us!" Second Aunt Zhao glanced at the daughter-in-law of Zhao Liu's family who said this with disdain, only to see her roll her eyes and say, "Do you still want to listen?!" It's really true to say that you are ignorant, my old woman saw immortals fifty years ago! ā
As soon as these words fell, the daughters-in-law couldn't help but be stunned, and then the discussion became more enthusiastic, Second Aunt Zhao was proud, and the spitting stars could be said to be flying all over the sky, and no one noticed the thin figure by the well not far away.
The yellow and messy hair, the palm-sized face without a trace of blood, the eyes are bigger, as if they occupy one-third of the face, Zhao Qi looked at the reflection of "himself" in the well, silently digesting the fact that he was crossed, fortunately, the new body is not ugly? Zhao Qi comforted himself lightly.
In the three days since I came to this world, the world view has been refreshed over and over again, I thought that at most, there were women from the farmer's family to farm, domineering side leakage to make money, drag the family to get rich, my life is up to me!! (Something strange seems to have gotten in?) It's right to drag the family, the original owner has two brothers, a sister, the original owner is the youngest in the family, but not as much as ordinary people, on the contrary, the least liked one. The reason is that the family is unusually poor... What's more, because the original owner's mother was injured because of the birth of the original owner, she can no longer get pregnant, which will undoubtedly be rejected in a society where one more boy has one more important labor force, so the nine-year-old original owner is not as old as a seven-year-old child.
Zhao Qi shook his head and came back to his senses from the memory of the original owner, "From today onwards, I will live well for you!" Suddenly feeling that his whole body was light, Zhao Qi felt that this body now belonged to him completely.
Pulling the bucket up with difficulty, he breathed a sigh of relief when the two wooden buckets were filled with water, and was about to carry it home, when the discussion on the side of the locust tree happened to be heard, "Immortals? This.. Will there really be immortals in this world? Zhao Qi was shocked in his heart, "But according to what they said, two days later, it will be the time for the immortals to open the mountain to accept apprentices, and you will know when the time comes." "Make up your mind, don't stay any longer, and walk back slowly.
Three dilapidated adobe houses gradually appeared, sparsely covered with thatch, surrounded by a half-man's hedge, but there were no decent doors. Zhao Qi stepped into the courtyard with one foot, and saw a woman rushing out of the largest room, "You lose money!" The old lady asked you to carry the water, and you only came back after three poles, so why are you lazy! Net know to eat! ā
Zhao Qi glanced at the abusive Li lightly, and poured water into the water tank by himself.
said that the Li family was shocked by Zhao Qi's eyes, "This dead girl's eyes are strange and scary", and then glared at Zhao Ran's back twice, and went out with a scolding.
Zhao Qi didn't take the Li family to heart, for her, the Li family was just a stranger.
However, the existence of immortals in this world disrupted Zhao Qi's original plan. She just wanted to use her secrets to be a rich man in this world and live her own little life in an ordinary way.
In her previous life, she didn't have anything, and the power and wealth in the world couldn't arouse her ambitions, "Cultivating immortals... Interesting. Whispering, Zhao Qi lowered his eyes, smiled softly, and instantly his whole face became bright, and something flashed quickly in those eyes as deep as an ancient well, as if nothing had happened, and the sun outside was even brighter.
As if carelessly brushing the peach-blossom-shaped mark on her wrist, there, hiding her biggest secret!
In the quiet countryside, the smoke of the cooking stove rose, Zhao Qi brought the prepared breakfast to the table separately, and saw Li Shi coming back with a bamboo basket, covered with a coarse cloth, just to cover the contents inside.
"Dead girl! I know how to be lazy, and I don't want to beat the water! He scolded as he walked to the largest main house.
Zhao Qi didn't argue when he heard it, and he remembered that the original main player didn't fight back, didn't scold back, and was timid and afraid of things, so he only silently took a basin to fetch water.
She didn't want to make trouble, the original owner was tired and hungry that night three days ago, and malnourished since childhood, so he left this world quietly and became her own ghost in another world who had died, and her family didn't notice it at all, in Zhao Qi's opinion, the blood bond between them also disappeared that night, and it was enough to give some money in the future.
I don't know what I thought of again, Zhao Qi involuntarily touched the peach blossom mark again, his dark and clear eyes dimmed, pursed his lips, and accelerated the movements on his hands, there are still two days...
As soon as the basin was put away, I saw Zhao Yougen walk in, followed by three and a half children, they are Zhao Qi's current father, and brothers and sisters.
The four corners of the new dining table, the black shiny, enough to prove the long history, a large pot of porridge, this is said to be porridge, in fact, there is only a grasp of rice, the rest are sweet potatoes, bud rice, even these, is to be saved, a plate of pickled vegetables, two large plates of wild vegetables over the water, scattered floating a little oil stars, this is the family's breakfast.
Compared with Zhao Qi, her two elder brothers are the lifeblood of the Li family, and they hurt like eyeballs on weekdays.
No matter how Zhao Qi is usually called, the Li family will not ask her to do the porridge work, naturally not because she feels sorry for her, but for fear that she will drink an extra bowl and a half bowl.
Zhao Qi held the porcelain bowl with a missing opening in both hands, and when he looked down, he could vaguely see his outline, which showed how thin this bowl of "porridge" was.
After drinking it one by one, there was a burst of heat on her body, she never knew that a bowl of rice soup could be so sweet, she smiled self-deprecatingly, and put the bowl into the kitchen under Li's fierce gaze.
The sun shone in through the dilapidated window, Zhao Qi sat on a small stool, his hands on his cheeks, his eyes fixed on the horizontal wood of the window, no matter what people's hearts are, the sun always gives warmth.
"Feng'er, Ping'er, Xiaoju, you are going to the town in two days, my mother pulled two pieces of cloth, just right, I will drive you out in the next two days, measure the size later, and then you will do the work." The voice is full of love, which is completely different from the bitterness and meanness of Zhao Qi.
"Thank you, mother!" , The three of them glanced at each other, and said in unison, the surprise in their eyes can't be hidden, usually only during the New Year there are new clothes to wear, and as a younger brother, Zhao Ping mostly picked up his brother Zhao Feng's old clothes to change them short, and now he can't wait to look forward to the arrival in two days.
Unlike the two younger brothers, although Xiao Ju was surprised, there was still a trace of hesitation in her eyes, looking at the smiling Li family, she tilted her head in the direction of the kitchen, a touch of reluctance flashed in her eyes, and then she said: "Mother, I, I am fourteen years old this year, and I just want to see the excitement when this immortal takes in apprentices, so don't do it if it's not as good as mine, do it for Erya." ā
When Li Shi heard this, the corners of his eyes suddenly rose, "What kind of clothes did she give her when she lost money, didn't you change it to her to wear it a year ago, besides, we all had to go to town that day, and we had to leave her at home to watch." Ju'er, you have also reached the age to say kiss, dress up well, if your second brother has a fairy fate, you and your eldest brother can talk about a good family! ā
When Xiao Ju heard Li talk about her family, she immediately blushed, her lips moved, and she didn't say anything after all.
In the kitchen, Zhao Qi heard the conversation between their mother and son clearly, looked down at the sleeves full of patches, and smiled indifferently.
It seems that she has to make plans early, but fortunately, Qingyun Village is only seven or eight miles away from Yun Town, but helplessly, this pair of little arms and legs can't hold on!
Two days passed in everyone's anticipation and busyness.
The fog in the early morning has not yet cleared, and the big rooster of the village chief's house is dawning on time, and the quiet village gradually has a sound.
The light gradually dispelled the darkness through the yellowish window paper. Zhao Qi opened his dark eyes, and there was no trace of confusion in his eyes, not at all like someone who had just woken up.
Thinking back to last night, a trace of complexity flashed in his eyes, and he was suddenly relieved.
It turned out that when Zhao Qi passed by the main house where the Li family lived last night, he suddenly heard them mention himself, so he listened cautiously to the foot of the wall.
"Baby's father, I heard Aunt Zhao say today that this is going to be chosen by the immortals, and you can get twenty taels of gold! Such a large amount of money is enough for our family to spend for five or six years! ā
Zhao Yougen listened, smashed it, smashed it, and smashed it, his face looked simple, but his eyes flashed with fine light.
"You also said that you have to be selected, I heard the village chief say, this fairy fate, it is difficult to have one in ten thousand, it is not easy, it is not easy..... After that, he rolled his eyes again, "Let's bring Erya with me tomorrow!" ā
"What are you going to do with her!! Stupid and stupid, I can't help but be unlucky! ā
"Women are short-sighted! Our family can participate in Ping'er and Erya, you have one more person and one more chance, in case you are selected, you will have gold to take! If you don't choose, we won't lose! ā
Listening to Zhao Yougen's explanation, the Li family also turned a corner, but there was still a little unwillingness in his eyes, "Although she is not our biological child, we have not lacked her food and clothing over the years, and it is also said that she was conceived and born in October, so cheap her, I am at a loss!" ā
Zhao Yougen glanced at her, and he didn't know what she had in mind. "Don't forget, we also received thirty taels of silver from that man! What you have done to Erya over the years, I have also turned a blind eye, after all, I received the money at the beginning, even if the person was out of breath at that time, we did as the person asked, no one in these ten miles and eight villages suspected that Erya was not our own child, so, it is also considered to be benevolent and righteous, so it is decided! ā
Li's mouth snorted, but he still didn't dare to say more.
After a rustling sound, the room went dark.
Zhao Qi cautiously returned to his room.
The crickets were particularly clear in the silence of the night.
With his hands on his head, in the dark, those indifferent eyes were surprisingly bright. I was still thinking about a plan to go to town, but now I don't have to think about it, just wait.
As for the original owner's life experience, she did not feel pity, but felt lucky. Then it is normal for Li to beat and scold her, after all, she is not biological, so it is a knot in her heart.
