Chapter 147: The Old Man Without Wind

"Xuan'er, you don't care about me and your father's affairs, the woman in Xiyuan has never taken it seriously. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info It's better for you to help the Xia family now, it's good to have a good fate." The woman turned the bead bracelet and twisted it one by one.

"You shouldn't just focus on this little place in your backyard. This is too limited, and your eldest brother Qingfeng is much better than you. The woman said.

After more than 20 years of husband and wife love, her heart has long been betrayed by her husband again and again, and now she only wants her two sons to have a good future, and he doesn't want to care about anything else.

"Xuan'er, you're also older, it's time to prepare your family affairs. There are no good people in our county, or your mother-in-law wants your sister-in-law or your aunt in the city to help you find candidates. The woman turned and said.

"Mother, let's wait until next year's spring. Now my son only wants to take exams. Qingxuan said.

Xia Qiaomu, who had left the prefect's mansion, turned a corner and went to a small hill outside the city gate, where Xiaocao was in a small courtyard at this time, suffering great pain. Originally, she thought that her father's training of holding a wooden barrel and stepping every day was already extremely strict. I didn't expect this to be very wrong, and Daddy was so merciful to them compared to the old man in front of him.

Wufeng came to this small courtyard early in the morning with summer grass, which was more dilapidated than when Xia Cao had just worn into the Xia family's thatched hut, the straw on the roof was sparse, and a large piece of sunlight was transmitted down. Compared to the rabbit nest of Xia Cao, Wufeng is quite familiar with this place, and I think it is the place where he settled before.

At this time, Xia Cao was standing on a wooden stake, the golden rooster was independent, with a large bowl of tea on his head, and two upgraded wooden barrels in his hands.

"Master, it's almost noon. Are you hungry, go and catch fish and come back for you to eat? "Xia Cao discussed with her eldest brother yesterday that she would not appear in the city today, as a missing person, and would appear again when the case was closed. But when he didn't know where to hide, the master who came up halfway said that he had a place, and he could hand over some fists and feet to Xia Cao, so that when he faced the enemy in the future, he didn't have to run away again.

Xia Cao could see that this master was very disdainful of her behavior of running away from the waterway, and he would be his apprentice in the future, which seemed to damage his prestige. Grab summer grass to intensify your physical training.

"Come down!" Wufeng finally nodded and said.

Xia Cao finally unloaded the bowl of water above her head as she wished, her whole neck was much lighter, and the two buckets in her hand were put down, and her whole arm was numb.

"Keep up!"

"Master, where are you going?"

"Catch fish by the stream." No one said the old man without being salty.

"Oh!" Xia Cao had no choice but to answer. This master is very demanding, even more strict than the extermination master, and he doesn't give any rest time.

Xia Cao followed the windless old man all the way into the lush mountain forest.

"Master, didn't you say that you took me to the stream, how did you get into this deep mountain and old forest." Xia Cao asked in a whisper.

"The fish in it tastes better."

Strange and turning, Xia Cao finally heard the sound of gurgling water. It turns out that there is such a quiet stream hidden in this dense jungle, the water of the stream is crystal clear, and the stones at the bottom of the water are clearly visible.

"Master, this stream is so cold. But why are there no fish! Xia Cao couldn't help but step into the river, the cold feeling made her cheer, and the tiredness of practicing just now was eliminated by the cold stream.

"Take a closer look."

"Master, there are really fish swimming, transparent fish! I've never seen one! Natsukusa looked carefully into the water, and sure enough, she found a lot of fish swimming next to the stones.

This transparent fish, the size of a thumb, is hard to spot in the clear water.

Xia Cao went ashore and took the wooden bucket to catch fish, "Master, you wait by the stream, and the apprentice will go down and catch a bucket, and cook it at noon to honor your old man." Xia Cao said obediently.

Eat people with a soft mouth, next time the master will be kind to her for the sake of her washing her hands and making soup for him.

"Grab it with your hands. Put the barrel down. The windless old man found a tree by the stream and said slowly.

When the master spoke, Xia Cao had no choice but to put down the barrel and lie down in the water again. As soon as her hand is put into the water, or the waves of the water affect the movement in the water, the small transparent fish will take advantage of the chaos to escape. Moreover, they are transparent and colorless, and as soon as they swim, they are confused in the water, and it is difficult for summer grass to determine its position again.

After dozens of failures, Xia Cao looked at the windless old man for help, "Master, let's change something else!" I can't catch it, and if it goes on like this, we'll all be hungry. ”

"Don't worry, your eldest brother will bring us food." Wufeng replied, paused and said, "I told him yesterday that there will be lunch." I'll be here today, he's coming soon. In the afternoon you come back to catch fish. ”

Xia Cao gritted her teeth hatefully, it turned out that the master was playing with her today, and she was happy to see her decadent, right? Natsukusa kicked the stones in the water viciously.

When they returned to the courtyard, sure enough, Xia Qiaomu had already arrived, and brought a basket of good wine and food, of course, the wine was prepared for this halfway master.

"Big brother, you're here." Xia Cao saw Xia Qiaomu's eyes almost in tears, and she wanted to tell about the inhuman treatment she received this morning.

"Xiaocao, there has been a change in the case, that Luo Qinshou knows the county order, and it seems that he is the younger brother of a concubine of the county order. The magistrate wants us to reconcile privately. Xia Qiaomu said.

"That's right...... But my anger cannot be in vain. Xia Cao said.

"Xiaocao, wait for your Mai He to be on vacation. This case may be dragged by the county order, and I estimate that during this time, he will not be promoted to court under the pretext that he has not investigated clearly. According to the plan, tomorrow we will go to Fucheng to have a round with my father. Xia Qiaomu analyzed.

"It's not worth it to ruin our Dragon Boat Festival for the sake of such people, or we will mention this matter after we come back from Fucheng." Xia Qiaomu suggested.

Is it really worth ruining your trip for such people? Natsukusa thought. These days, she has been thinking about going to Fucheng, watching the lively dragon boat race, it's a pity that she can't see it! But just like this, I was unwilling to put it in my heart first.

"Okay, eldest brother, you go back to the city to meet the second brother first, and I'll go back later." Xia Cao said sullenly.

"Here you go." The windless old man suddenly threw Xia Qiaomu a token.

"Take this to the magistrate, and he will review and close the case in the afternoon." The windless old man said.

Xia Qiaomu held this token, rubbed his palm carefully, and the word "item" on the token came into view.

Everyone knows that it is the surname of the royal family, Xia Qiaomu looked at the windless old man and did not speak for a long time. What is his identity and why did he appear by Natsukusa's side. (To be continued.) )
