Chapter 8 Colorful Paper Windmills
Granny Qin went out of the house first, walked around to the back of the house, and began to rummage through a pile of groceries. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Chen Fan'er excitedly took Lu Rover's hand, hurriedly followed, and asked with a red face: "Brother Land Rover, you say, where should we go to play first when we enter the city?" ”
Land Rover pretended to be an adult, crooked his eyes, touched his bare chin, and said: "The girls go to the rouge shop to buy the most popular fat powder, and the jade jade ...... in the jewelry store."
Although I don't know what "rouge, jade jade" is, but after listening to a lot of words from Land Rover Balabala, Chen Fan'er was even more excited.
At this time, Granny Qin walked over with a thin hemp rope and said with a smile: "Girl, those are all things for women, you can't use them." ”
"Huh? Fan'er, you're not a woman?! Land Rover looked at Chen Fan'er as if he had seen a ghost.
"I ...... How I'm not a woman! Mother-in-law, why am I not a woman! Chen Fan'er's ears were red, and she felt that this conversation was beyond her cognition.
Granny Qin was so amused that she couldn't stop laughing, touched Chen Fan'er's head, and said, "You are a girl, not a woman yet." ”
Two children look at each other, is there any difference between a girl and a woman? As if reading each other's doubts, the two shook their heads at the same time, indicating that they couldn't understand.
"Okay, girl, you follow me when you enter the city, just don't run around." Granny Qin used the hemp rope in her hand to weave a slipknot and instructed.
Land Rover looked around and said suspiciously: "Mother-in-law, go on foot like this, and when we get there, the city gates are closed." ”
Granny Qin smiled without saying a word, raised her right hand, put her mouth on her little finger and blew gently.
"Phew-" A long whistle sound of light and crispness flew into the mountains and forests like silver needles. Soon, the sound of horses' hooves was heard in the distance, and a white horse galloped in the green sea of mountains and forests.
The figure of the steed appeared and disappeared from time to time, like a discontinuous white light, and in the blink of an eye, it was in front of the three of them.
Chen Fan'er had seen this horse a few times, but she didn't show an exaggerated expression; It was the first time Land Rover had seen such a mighty horse: the body of the horse was pure white and flawless, not even the hair of the horse's tail was variegated, and the horse's eyes were golden yellow, and the heroic spirit was compelling. It's hard to imagine that such a group of horses would be tamed, and that they would be an unarmed old woman.
Land Rover's mouth opened wide and his eyes widened with an incredulous expression. Granny Qin began to put the hemp rope on the white horse's head, and the knotted part was just used as a simple mouthpiece, and the extended rope was regarded as the reins.
Granny Qin stroked the horse's body and said with a wry smile: "There is no complete horse bridle, so I can only make do with this, you can bear with it." ”
The white horse's eyes flashed with gold, and he nodded slightly in agreement.
Granny Qin turned around, picked up Chen Fan'er, put her on the horse's back, and said, "Girl, you sit in front, grab your mane, and lie down." Hu'er, sit behind me, grab my belt, and hold it tightly. ”
As she spoke, Granny Qin had already stepped onto the horse, and stretched out her hand sideways to pull the Land Rover.
Land Rover grew up in the mountains and followed his father to chop firewood and hunt, so he naturally refused to admit defeat. I saw him take a few steps back, then waved his hands, accelerated and ran, and jumped on the horse's back with a bang, landing right behind Granny Qin.
"You two hold on, we're ready to go." Granny Qin didn't care about the land rover smirking behind her, leaned over, and trembled the "reins" slightly, and the white horse exhaled lightly and quickly shuttled into the woods.
……
Qingshui County, the northernmost county in Binh Duong Prefecture, is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the traffic is relatively closed. It is what Granny Qin and others call the "city", which is not prosperous, and it is used to buy some basic supplies. As for the "popularity" in Land Rover's mouth, it is just an outdated trend in the imperial city three or four years ago.
In terms of walking, it takes at least five hours from the thatched hut to the county seat, and even if it is a fast horse galloping all the way, it takes two hours. However, this divine horse piloted by Granny Qin was like a swift wind, as fast as lightning, and the hundred-mile road reached its destination in half an hour, and its breathing was always even, and it seemed to be at ease.
When Land Rover was hugged down by Granny Qin, his face was pale, and he couldn't figure out what had just happened at all. On the contrary, Chen Fan'er, who was riding a horse for the first time, had a ruddy face and no discomfort at all.
After the three of them led their horses into the city, they first saw several rows of low and flat huts. The civilian area of Qingshui County is built on the periphery, and a little further inside is the market area, and the center is the official office and the rich area.
Chen Faner looked around all the way, and asked Land Rover some "strange" common sense questions from time to time.
"That is the well, and all the people in the city draw water from that hole."
"That's a sedan chair, rich people sit in it, and they don't usually use their own feet when they go out."
"Oh, they are wearing embroidered shoes, the soles are soft, and they are beautiful, and they are popular now......" After Land Rover calmed down, he kept helping Chen Fan'er introduce new things in the city. Chen Fan'er listened and watched fascinatedly, and nodded vigorously with her little head.
After walking for a short distance, Chen Fan'er's gaze stayed on a small stall on the left.
It was a paper windmill stuck in a straw stick, turning in the wind and flowing in a rainbow of colors.
"Girl, don't run around, I'll sell the embroidery." Granny Qin patted Chen Fan'er on the shoulder, said a word, and walked into the embroidery pavilion opposite the stall.
Chen Fan'er hummed lightly and continued to stare at the spinning paper windmill. When the wind is light, the paper windmill turns slowly, and the colorful colors gradually disappear.
"Hey, why don't you turn it, pretty colors?" Chen Fan'er leaned close to inspect it carefully, this little thing has no mechanism, why is it colorless when it stops.
The owner of the shop, an uncle in his early forties, was about to take a few sips with his pipe, when he noticed that a little bit came over, so he put down his pipe and said with a smile: "Little girl, which one do you like?" ”
Chen Fan'er was not afraid of life, pinched his little hand, pointed to the windmill, and looked at the boss with bright eyes.
"Tsk." The uncle took a sip, glanced in the direction of Chen Fan'er's finger, and said: "Little girl has a good eye, this colorful paper windmill is the latest thing in the imperial city, I trusted a lot of connections to get one, and I will sell it to you for five cents." ”
"Five cents! Uncle, you grab the money! Land Rover was startled when he heard this, and then began to bargain like an adult.
"Brother Hu, is Wuwen very expensive?" Chen Fan'er took a step back and asked in a low voice.
Land Rover tugged at the corner of Chen Fan'er's clothes and motioned for him to handle the deal.
The owner of the stall lived so long that no customer had ever seen it, so he looked around and found that the child's parents were not nearby, so he shook his hand and said, "Let's go, let's go, I really want to buy it to find your elders." ”
Chen Fan'er instantly felt very depressed, biting her lip, staring at the paper windmill, her eyes full of reluctance.
"Who! Who says we don't buy it! Land Rover was in a hurry, the first time he took Fan'er into the city, he couldn't even get a gadget, he was too embarrassed to be a man, he took out a few copper coins from his trouser pocket, and spread the money with his small hand, indicating that he had money.
"Hey, kid, it's only three cents, it's not enough." This boss is also a good business, and when he sees that the other party wants to buy it, he won't let him lose a penny.
Land Rover's little face burned red, and he was in a hurry to get the money and forgot that he had three pennies on him, but for the sake of face, he could only pretend to continue to rummage in his trouser pocket.
At this moment, a gust of wind rose, and the paper windmill turned again, turning into a colorful and beautiful appearance.
"Brother, I want this!" A childish voice said.
"Okay, boss, I'll buy this." A little chubby dun pulled out the paper windmill from the straw stick, and pulled out a piece of broken silver in his right hand.
