Chapter 309: A Long Way to Go (2)
Yuqiao was startled, and when she turned around, she saw that it was a wild pigeon, lured by the smell of pastries, cooing, and pacing not far away. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Seeing someone coming, he was still shocked, flapped his wings, and flew into the depths of the woods.
Zhou Zhenwei picked up the pancake and nibbled a few bites, stared at the direction where the pigeon flew away for a long time, and smiled at Yuqiao with the corners of his mouth and asked, "Do you want to drink pigeon soup?" ā
"Yes!" Yuqiao pursed her lips, her stomach squirmed, and the baby responded happily.
"Wait, the master will go and hunt a few pigeons, and when you arrive at the post house, you will have soup to drink." Zhou Zhenwei finished eating the cake in a few bites, stood up and called the iron pillar, the two spoke in a low voice, went to the side to break the branches, and went to the box to find the fine skin.
Bixiu Chunzi looked interesting, took two and stroked them in her hand. After eating the cake, Yuqiao drank some tea, although it was a little cold, but it was better than the warm weather. When I looked up, I saw that Zhou Zhenwei and Tie Zhu's figures flickered into the woods, and Bixiu and the two were still giggling and laughing, but they couldn't see it, so they came to me, took one, and taught them how to use it.
Coincidentally, a wild pigeon flew over, not far away, pecking at the crumbs of the pancakes that Zhou Zhenwei had just dropped. Yuqiao glanced at the two girls, understanding, and quietly moved behind her. Hold the bow tightly with your left hand, and stretch it back with your right hand to stretch it back, aiming your eyes at the pigeon's bulging chest through the bow.
The wind and the clouds are harvested, a matter of a moment.
The hand was loose, the stone shot out quickly, there was no time to blink, the "bang" was dull and dark, accompanied by the exclamation of Bixiu Chunzi, the pigeon soaked red.
"How can Mademoiselle make this thing?" Chunzi had already gone to pull the pigeon's trembling thin legs, Bixiu looked at Yuqiao with admiration in her eyes, but she was puzzled, the daughter of the official family who was raised in the boudoir was afraid that she had never even seen this thing.
Yuqiao smiled lightly and said nothing, I have never seen it before, I can't use it if I am clumsy, but in order to recuperate my father's sick body, I can't even be angry! People are forced to do that, and what can't be done.
Zhou Zhenwei returned triumphantly. But seeing that Yuqiao had gone to rest in the carriage, a slate was thrown a breathing pigeon, and it looked quite fat.
couldn't help but be stunned, and listened to Bi Xiu Chunzi's slightly exaggerated narration, and was even more stunned. I went to the car to find the lady, who was covered with a brocade quilt, her starry eyes were closed, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her cheeks were flushed with a touch of powder, and she slept sweetly. Such a weak woman can shoot a slingshot with a fierce slingshot and shoot a pigeon ......! There was an indescribable surprise in my heart, but I couldn't find an exit.
Suddenly, he didn't want to think about it, quietly closed the car door, Zhou Zhenwei turned over and got on the horse, let the iron pillar gang tie the prey, hang it on the hook of the eaves of the carriage, and continue to hurry.
......
Suddenly it was dusk, and there were dark shadows between the heavens and the earth, the sunset was scattered, and the light moon was slightly white.
There are large fields of crops on both sides of the official road, and occasionally you can see two or three peasants, facing the loess with their backs to the sky, working hard.
Yuqiao also woke up, the spirit was sufficient, and Bixiu a few talked and laughed, not long to see the front of the high wall walled house, in the middle of the two red paint main door half-closed and half-open, hanging a black plaque, "post house" golden characters are still fresh.
Pulling the horse and parking, Zhou Zhenwei frowned slightly, squinted and watched, only to feel that something was wrong, the post house is usually the most lively at this time, and the envoys or officials should be in an endless stream, but it is silent, a depressed scene at the door.
Jumping off the horse and letting Yu Qiao wait outside, he pushed open the hidden door with his sword.
Two courtyards, front hall porch-style layout. Zhou Zhenwei turned around, the stable next to the door was still full of hay, the water in the trough was still there, and then the warehouse was empty, and the indentations of the goods were scattered. Entering the two-compartment post room, it is complete, the candles are more than half-burned, and the letterhead spread out on the bookcase is still trendy. I suddenly had doubts in my heart, and I went to the backyard to stay in the dormitory, and pushed the doors one by one to check, but it was clean and tidy, and no one had rested.
Yuqiao waited outside for a while, only to see Zhou Zhenwei come out with a solemn face, and he was puzzled, so he stepped forward and pulled his sleeve and asked, "Is this a post house?" ā
"It's a deserted inn, and there's no one around." Zhou Zhenwei nodded and said slowly: "It's just strange, there is no trace of being abandoned for many days, it seems that everyone was driven away in a hurry, and the letterhead of the post will not be collected in time." ā
He asked Tie Zhu to bring the road map, looked at it carefully, looked up at the sky and saw that it was getting late, and said in a deep voice: "The map indicates that the post house here should be under the jurisdiction of the post house." If you go to Anci County to rest, you will only be able to arrive at the right time, and the city gate must have been closed. Let's go and rest first, boil some water, eat, and then make plans! ā
Only then did the group lead the horse and drive into the gate of the post house.
Yuqiao looked for the kitchen in the backyard, asked Chun Zi to find a candle to light it, the candle flame was orange, and looked around, the grass and firewood were stacked several times, a bag of new rice against the wall had just been opened, the stove pot and oil, salt, sauce and vinegar seasoning were all ready, and there were even vegetables in the corner that were not taken care of. I was happy and a little uneasy, and I saw that Zhou Zhenwei also followed up and pursed his lips and smiled at him: "This is everything, but I don't know how, I always feel panicked." ā
Zhou Zhenwei grabbed her waist and said in a low voice: "Here we will leave after dinner, and we will stay soon." Looking at the map, there was a small village a few miles ago, and I went there to see if there were any people who stayed in the hotel or who wanted to stay in the business. ā
Yuqiao was inexplicably a little afraid, and felt nostalgic for him, and went to shake his finger: "If you don't want to be here, can you go with you?" ā
"No! It's a little late, everyone is tired and hungry, and they always have to eat. Besides, the map looks like the village is very sparse, and I don't know how many families there are, so it's better for me to go and find out on my own. Looking at Yuqiao's lips, her eyes were panicked, her face was full of reluctance, she couldn't help but touch her belly, and smiled gently to soothe: "Don't be afraid, I'll rush back when I go, the iron pillar stays here to protect you, others are tall and strong, and they know some fists and feet, so it should be fine." ā
understands that what Zhou Zhenwei said is true. Yuqiao didn't want to drag him back, so she put her toes on her toes and kissed her rough lips, and then straightened out her clothes for him, and asked with a red face: "Come back early, wait for you to eat together, it's late, but I don't care about you!" ā
The words were sweet and glutinous in his heart, and Zhou Zhenwei couldn't help but pull her into his arms and hug her, and sucked the faint fragrance in his neck.
"Gone!"
Looking at Yingwu's back and going out of the door, turning the front porch and disappearing, Yuqiao turned around, and saw Bixiu Chun Zidong touching the west, looking dazed, pulling up his sleeves and arms, and said with a smile: "Bixiu is holding a bundle of firewood, and it is not easy to make a fire." You can have taught Tsefu earlier, and you will learn from it, and you will be able to use it in the future. ā
After a while, the light in the stove was bright, and the purple and red flames licked the bottom of the black cauldron, where the steamed rice was already billowing with white smoke, and the smell of rice filled the room.
Tie Zhu smelled the smell, and also rushed to join in the fun, and saw Yuqiao sitting on a small stool, teaching Bixiu when to add firewood, how to pick grass with a burning stick, and how to smoke without smoking eyes ........
I can't help smacking my lips, these four grandmothers are not fairies in the sky, fairies in the sky can't make fires, she should be a monster in the mountains, so she understands everything, so she is full of fascination with the four masters.
