Chapter 14: The Destined Man IV

readx;

Hongyi seemed to know her doubts, and explained shyly: "This is what I exchanged for prey, just a few days ago, an old man went to exchange things with a wooden basin, and I bought it with him with three pheasants." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

He said it lightly, but to Xiao Tao's ears, it was definitely not like that.

Anyone who only sells a wooden basin will definitely not be able to survive and want to exchange the only things at home for something to eat.

And as far as she knows, the feathers of pheasants, especially roosters, can be exchanged for a lot of money, definitely more than the price of a wooden pot. Because in the countryside, the cheapest thing is craftsmanship.

Ji Langzhong smiled and nodded, "You did the right thing, do your best to help others, maybe these three pheasants saved the lives of the family, so you are doing good deeds." ”

It seems that this Hongyi is also a person with him. Otherwise, with his medical skills, he would not have had such a bad time if he found a place to settle down and opened a pharmacy.

"I didn't think about it so much, just look at him as an old man, still selling things outside in the winter, when I see him, I think of my father, do you think I can not help?"

He walked over and placed the tub on the table. Xiao Tao was going to twist the towel cloth so that she could wash her master's face. Hongyi took the first step, handed the wrung out towel to Ji Liangping, and said to Xiao Tao, "There is still a lot of water in the pot, when the master finishes washing, I will bring you water." ”

Xiao Tao was really defeated by his 'virtuousness', "Brother Hong, since you want to live together, what about you, don't treat me like a guest, just get what I need by myself, you see, I have hands and feet, if you want to serve everything, then I won't be a waste." ”

Hongyi looked at her little face that retorted seriously, and smiled stupidly, "Well, then you go and get it yourself, pack it up, and I'll take you to the village and around the neighborhood!" "He's not trying to treat her like a guest, he's just taking care of her. Because this little brother seems to need the care of others, he looks at other people's families, has younger brothers and sisters, and as an elder brother, doesn't he have to take care of it the same?

Hongyi's idea is very simple, but since she is unwilling, he will naturally not be reluctant, just be happy with him.

The village is really small, and if you stand on one side of the village, you can see the other side.

It is backed by a mountain, but it is not a stretch of mountains, but more like a series of hills.

Xiao Tao knows that in such a place, a lot of precious herbs will grow in the hollows of the hills.

Hongyi often goes up the mountain, understands the situation in the mountains, and prepares well before going out.

The peasants wore either cloth shoes or straw sandals.

Hongyi is a single man, no mother, no daughter-in-law, he wears very few cloth shoes, the only Xiang Shuang, which was given by the village grandmother during the New Year, and he himself is never willing to buy.

So, when he went out, he changed out of the old cloth shoes that had been worn out on his feet and put on the straw sandals he had knitted.

Although it is straw sandals, he is skillful, and the style of straw sandals is very good-looking, but it is not warm.

"Brother Peach, do you want to change into straw sandals, the mountains are humid, don't get your shoes dirty."

He was telling the truth, and Xiao Tao also looked down at his shoes.

She wears boots on her feet, made of animal hides.

She is not particular about what she wears, but she can't be sloppy with these shoes.

The girl's feet are small, and if she wears ordinary cloth shoes, she has to stuff many rags before she can wear big shoes.

It's better to wear boots, and you don't see it very much, so these boots are the most expensive thing on her.

But now, Hongyi asked her to change her shoes, how could she change them, once she took off her shoes, he couldn't be stunned when he saw his tender white and small feet.

Xiao Tao bit her lip, "Why don't you find a pair of larger straw sandals, and I'll put them on the outside, so that the shoes won't stain and can be moisture-proof." ”

Hongyi nodded, "This method is good, you don't need to go out of your way to find it, any pair of shoes in my house is bigger than your feet." ”

Xiao Tao smiled awkwardly, "Naturally, I don't want to." "I knew that he could see that his feet were small, but I didn't expect that this person looked like a wooden person, but in fact he was not wooden at all.

Hongyi found a cloth for Xiao Tao's feet and calves, and he brought a machete, a bow and arrows, and a short shovel. Xiao Tao asked him for a small hoe and took the back basket.

The two of them are ready to go out.

Xiao Tao suddenly asked him if he had a rope, so Hongyi went back and got a piece of hemp rope.

The two told Ji Langzhong to have a good rest at home, so they took the door and left.

As I passed through the village, I met the young people of the village.

Hongyi greeted them with a smile, they were all boys, and everyone was not restrained.

Hongyi introduced Xiao Tao to them very seriously, and then introduced her one by one, especially carefully when introducing her, "This is Meng Jun, you just call him a monkey, who called him so thin, just like you, this is Meng Yangshu, they are cousins, they live not far away,"

It's indeed a person as its name suggests, the nickname is Monkey, the long monkey cheeks are really sharp-mouthed, the eyes are very small, when he smiles, his eyes are narrowed into a slit, and when he looks at Xiao Tao, his eyes are narrowed even more, and he can't figure out the situation, and he is asleep!

As for Meng Yangshu, he is half a head shorter than Hongyi, his body is straight, he stands straight, and his facial features are quite upright, except for the big black mole on his right face, which looks a little strange.

Of course, not everyone who has a black mole on their face is a bad person, at least this Meng Yangshu, looking at Xiao Tao's eyes, is very friendly.

Hongyi continued to introduce, "There is also this one, you can call him Big Fat." ”

The last person Hongyi pointed to was not tall, with a chubby face and a chubby figure, and he kept smiling at Xiao Han. said to be a little fat man, but in fact, it is not the kind that belongs to the extra fat, but it is very round, and it is round everywhere.

Xiao Tao nodded at them, and then patted them on the shoulder very happily, "Since I still have to live in the village for a few more days, I will have to rely on a few people to take care of me in the future!" She fisted her hands and made a man's salute.

The monkey squinted and smiled, "You look so beautiful, if you wear a girl's clothes, I'm afraid no one will think you're a boy." ”

"Don't talk nonsense," Meng Yangshu frowned and scolded him, "Brother Little Peach, don't mind, he just owes his mouth and doesn't mean anything." ”

The big fat also smiled and agreed: "The monkey means that you are good-looking, much better looking than him, and he is jealous, because no girl will like him in the future." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the three of them laughed. Hongyi also had a faint smile on his face, he turned his head to look at Xiao Tao, he really liked him, of course, what he liked was Xiao Tao's character.

For this kind of way of getting along with male babies, Xiao Tao is the best at it, I saw her hooking Hongyi's arm with one hand, and putting the other hand on the big fat shoulder, and said with a rough smile: "This little master has no other skills, just this face is still gone, and in the future, I will point to this face to ask for a daughter-in-law like a flower, but unfortunately not now, I haven't settled down yet, otherwise, I will definitely find you to match, and live a good life as soon as possible." ”

When Da Fat heard this, he said arrogantly: "Why can't you settle down, our village is very good, and there is a lot of vacant land, and when you have money, build two houses on the vacant land, and listen to the village chief, your master will see a doctor, isn't that just right?" ”

The monkey also said: "There is no money and nothing, the people in the village help to do it together, you take care of two meals, dig yellow mud, make adobe, it will only be half a month's work, and then cut a few trees from the mountain, this will be done!" ”

Hongyi actually had this idea, but what he thought was different from what the monkey thought, "If you really want to build it, build it next to the wall of my yard, and have a place to sleep, so that we can take care of each other in the future, so it's best." He looked at the bright smile on Xiao Tao's face and said what was in his heart.

Xiao Tao didn't immediately reply to them, "Let's talk about it, let's go pick the medicine first." ”

As she spoke, she took the lead in running in front, running and jumping, completely like a boy.

Big Fat was infected by her, and he also ran behind with a roar, and the monkey followed closely behind, playing with Big Fat.

Only Meng Yangshu and Hongyi walked behind, looking at the beating figure in front, Meng Yangshu sighed: "This little peach brother, his temperament is really lively, but this name sounds weird, and the people who are with her are not worthy at all." ”

Especially when she saw her join the big fat and the monkey fighting, she made a bad move, tripped the big fat and fell, the big fat got up, and was not convinced to wrestle with her.

Xiao Tao did not show weakness, and was about to put down the back basket and put the posture in a good position, and was about to wrestle with him.

Of course, it's not really a fight, it's just a joke.

Looking at it this way, Xiao Tao is really a complete wild boy.

Hongyi also looked at Xiao Tao, saw that she was naughty and eccentric, and saw that she had made a bad move, and the big fat person who was hurt threw herself into the air, and fell to the ground with her face on the ground, and she herself pinched her waist with both hands, standing there laughing.

Hongyi was infected by her smile, and the smile on Jun's face softened, "I heard that she is an orphan and was picked up by Ji Langzhong, how can the children she picked up have names, aren't they all taken casually?" Let's go, she went to collect medicine, let's go and see the trap set up yesterday, if we can set a big one, we will give him and Master Ji the wind at night. ”

He walked quickly, Meng Yangshu caught up with him, but he didn't finish what he said just now, "What the hell do you think, my sister dragged me to ask again today, she took the initiative to be like this, and you are embarrassed to be indifferent." ”

Hongyi's footsteps didn't stop, he didn't even pause, "I'm not indifferent, I didn't tell you early in the morning, I don't want to delay Yanzi, and you look at me now, there is nothing, I don't want to think about marriage for the time being." ”

Because he has a good relationship with Meng Yangshu, he explained that Meng Yan is a good girl, but he doesn't want to compromise, it's as simple as that. Besides, what he is telling is also the truth, he has lived a hard enough life alone, and he really doesn't want to drag others down.

Meng Yangshu walked straight beside him, Hongyi would refuse, this was something he had thought of early on.

Although Hongyi is honest and good to everyone, the people in the village, the neighbors, even if he is a passing person who asks for food, he is very good to others.

But he also has the biggest problem, that is, stubbornness, as long as it is what he believes, ten cows can't pull it back.

Just like what he said about Meng Yan, no matter how much he said, he didn't want to, he just didn't want to, it's not that Meng Yan is bad, it's not that he has a high vision, there is no reason.

Meng Yangshu looked at his stubborn appearance, and he was angry in his heart, "I really don't know what my sister likes about you, an eighteen-year-old girl, she still refuses to go to her mother-in-law's family, you too, my sister is not a snob, isn't she the one who takes a fancy to you?" What don't you want? ”

Hongyi was not angry at his words, and just as the two of them walked to Xiao Tao's side.

Meng Yan's matter, the monkey they all know, the monkey smiled and quipped: "Hongyi is waiting for the heavenly maiden to go down to earth, Yang Shu, tell your swallow to look at me too, what is worse than Hongyi." ”

Da Fat didn't fight with Xiao Tao anymore, he came to Yang Shu and said with a smile: "I'm just fat, and the others are no worse than Hongyi, and I also call your swallows like me!" ”

This is the situation where there are more monks and less porridge, and because of this, Meng Yangshu will be even more angry with Hongyi's approach, "If you go to my house and say it yourself, see if the swallow will ignore you, go, the weather is not early, and if you rub it off, you won't be able to catch anything." ”

Xiao Tao re-carried the basket and caught up with Hong Yi, who had already gone away, "Hey, Brother Hong, I can't see that your peach blossom luck is so prosperous, is that Meng Yan not good-looking, so you don't like it!" ”

Hongyi slowed down and turned his head slightly to look at her, but instead of answering her question, he reached out to take her back basket, "Give it to me, the mountain road is difficult to walk, and it is even more difficult for you to walk with it on your back." ”

Xiao Tao's body twisted, dodging his hand, "It's not that I haven't been up the mountain, I haven't taken medicine, the first few years the master took me, and then in the past two years, the master is not in good health, near places, he followed, far places, such as deep mountains and old forests or something, I went alone, I went for several days, food and accommodation were on the mountain, the back basket was full, I went down the mountain." ”
