Zhou smiled at him reluctantly, watching him wash the pig into the water, his eyes were full of confusion.

The Zhou family has lived in the mountains since he was a child, and his family is a scholarly family who fled to the mountains, and it has been almost no different from the mountain people for several generations.

Da Song Dynasty requires children to be literate, and her father belongs to the rare people in that area who know a few words, so he became a teacher of the township school, and took the meager income of the imperial court to teach these villages to supplement the family.

Zhou's father-in-law Xu Wen is the most promising one of the children taught by his father, Zhou's father has a unique vision, and believes that he can get out of the mountains, and when Zhou was twelve years old, he was engaged to him.

As a result, in the second year, Xu Wen really took the exam for a showman, which was a big deal for them. This time unexpectedly, the Zhou family is still young, can not get married, the mountain people do not have so many customs, said that it is double happiness, as soon as the wedding is held, as soon as the cave house enters, Xu Wen went to the county seat to study.

As soon as Xu Wen left, he didn't go back to the village much, and settled down in the county seat, but left Zhou and a daughter in the mountains.

Two years ago, Zhou's parents died of illness, and she had to go to the county seat to find Xu Wen, but she didn't expect Xu Wen to marry another house in the county seat and give birth to a son.

Zhou's main house has become an unpopular person. In addition, the epidemic was rampant soon, Xu's father and the concubine died soon after, and the Xu family at home felt that the Zhou family was ominous and extremely bad to her, especially Xu Wen, who completely regarded her as a servant and felt that her identity was not worthy of his talent.

Seeing a man, careful and careful, seriously doing these trivial things, Zhou saw that although he was serious, but things were done, a little messy, rolled up his sleeves, when he was a child, there were wild boars sent by the mountain people, cleaning the pig into the water, Zhou had not done it, but he had also seen it.

"Brother Chi, I can do it. Let me help you. Chi Qiu helped her that time, and Zhou was grateful.

"I don't need your help with this." Chi Qiu told the truth, the pig's large intestine is full of pickles, Zhou's is a talented lady, Chi Qiu doesn't think that people have high and low, but subconsciously feels that she can't do this job, sure enough, Zhou's neck stretched forward and retched, which is also a normal reaction, but in Chi Qiu's eyes, he thought she was not adaptable, and he didn't let her do it.

"Then I'll go find some straw." Zhou knows that to clean the inside of the large intestine, it is generally necessary to use bean flour or oil.

These are precious things, especially in famine years, a handful of bean noodles can save a life, oil is even more unattainable, ordinary people will not use this method of losing the large intestine to wash the large intestine, are scraped little by little with straw, or the large intestine is scraped, and the large intestine is cleaned up, it needs to be quite careful.

In this smelly environment, scraping, washing, and washing many times can be repeated before the large intestine can be reluctantly eaten.

Seeing that Chi Qiu had no bean noodles or straw around him, Zhou expressed doubts about the method he said, thinking that Chi Qiu only planned to keep flushing with water.

"No, I have a way." Chi Qiu smiled innocently.

"There's a way?" Zhou didn't believe it.

"Mountain people have their own tricks. Why don't you take a look at it for me, and I'll go get something." ”

"Okay."

In fact, to clean pig water does not necessarily have to use bean flour, it is actually possible to use essential oil, cornmeal, and coarse salt, but it is difficult to get these objects now, so you can only use the most earthy method, and the alkaline water made of stove ash can also be used.

Chi Qiu is in the Western Regions and often makes chop soup, but the cleaning is naturally done by the people below, and he is only responsible for the filling and heat.

The ash of the stove was similar to the ash of the bonfire in the Western Regions, and soon he brought the alkaline water from the Jietang.

Throw the pig water that has been cleaned several times into the bucket and clap your hands: "This time to soak a stick of incense, just clean it up again." ”

Chi Qiu found a place to clean his hands and cleaned his hands, and when he stood up, he unconsciously beat his waist a few times, he was still a little tired after squatting for a long time, and he was once whipped by Yan Su'er with a flying smoke whip.

"Brother Chi, why don't I rub it for you?" After studying the alkaline water, it was too dark and I couldn't see it clearly, and when I turned around and saw Chi Qiu's appearance, Zhou said timidly.

Ay! Chi Qiu sighed helplessly. The last time I drank a little wine, I had some ulterior secrets with Zhou, and then Zhou sacrificed himself to save her, Chi Qiu saw that her emotions were naturally different, and when she came to this quiet forest, a thought came out of his heart, that is, Zhou's "looking for a living" here again, this man is somewhat "machismo", and he is always full of protection when he meets a weak woman.

A light green robe that is washed and white, the hair is simply tied in a bun at the back of the head, the delicate and beautiful face, there is a simple and clear beauty, and the combination of facial features may be said to be like a village girl, but it is definitely very attractive, giving people a quiet and elegant comfort.

The key is that the curve makes people can't take their eyes off, even if it is covered by loose clothes, there is no ambiguity at all where it should be full, Chi Qiu knows the treasure hidden under the clothes, and now it is too violent to think about it.

Zhou is such a woman who arouses male hormones.

That day, they did spend most of their time talking about life, Zhou's story, Chi Qiu is known, the uncompetitive father-in-law, the unkind mother-in-law, the ignorant adopted son (the concubine's son belongs to the main wife's son in principle), the unpopular daughter, the maid-like lady of the main hall, these words can basically summarize her current situation.

Chi Qiu wanted to protect her, but she had a father-in-law, a son, and a daughter.

Zhou is now according to Chi Qiu's understanding of "stumbling women", every stumbling woman has a sad story behind her, and she can't hold them all around because of sympathy, not to mention the entangled relationship, now Chi Qiu himself is difficult to protect, and he cares about others in vain.

Hearing her say this, Chi Qiu felt very uncomfortable in his heart, he had a lot of respect for the Zhou family, for the sake of a piece of jerky in the mouth of the concubine's son, he really treated that doll as if it were his own flesh and blood, isn't such a woman worthy of respect?

"No need." Chi Qiu's face was somewhat embarrassed, he didn't look like he had become a potential customer of the Zhou family, and said meaningfully: "Your father-in-law is a Xiucai of the Dasong Dynasty, as far as I know, if you are a Xiucai, you can receive Lu rice from the imperial court every year, as well as good fields, why did you go to the river?" ”

Sure enough, when it came to Xianggong, Zhou was silent for a moment, his fingers were interlocked, his eyes were closed, and a faint sorrow appeared between his eyebrows: "How can Xiucai have, only Xiushi has Lu rice, in Dasong, Xiucai is nothing, but you can buy some public land at a low price in the county government, or the acres of land entrusted by others can be rent-free for ten years." ”

"That's good, too."

"Yes." Zhou sighed faintly: "The family spends a lot, the father-in-law and the second room spend a lot of money, the family's public land has also been resold, and the ten-year rent entrusted by the family has also been collected in advance, and everything that can be sold has been sold. We're down to this field. ”

Chi Qiu secretly slapped himself a few times, and talked about sadness again, just when Chi Qiu had a headache, someone in the distance spoke: "Hey, it's over!" I have twenty copper plates here, and if you can't connect them, how long will it take you? ”

It seems that it is a business, twenty copper plates? This world is really cheap, Chi Qiu is a little unworthy of the Zhou family, and he doesn't want her to fall, but he can't seem to stop it.

"Uh......" Chi Qiu looked at her with a sad look, and didn't know what to say, so he could only turn sideways and leave with her.

Zhou smiled bitterly: "Brother Chi, do you really think I'm doing a secret door?" ”

Isn't it? Ji Qiu didn't speak, but his expression was full of confusion.

Zhou's body trembled slightly, as if he understood something, took a step to stop, and asked in a slightly playful tone, "Does Brother Chi want me to go?" Or not? ”

Chi Qiu couldn't help but gasp, feeling numb all over his body, this question is not easy to answer.

"Actually, I know that Brother Chi doesn't look down on people like me, last time you were drunk like that, and you never touched me, I know." Zhou squinted, forced his body to stop trembling, and resolutely spit out a sentence: "I am really not the kind of woman you think." Then he walked towards the dark shadow on the slope.

Chi Qiu is not an emotional person, it was very simple before, and it is even easier to come to this world.

In the Western Regions, there are only killing and being killed, and there are no conspiracies and tricks, and there are no palace fights, but it is very simple, that is, to kill you or assassinate you.

This kind of days are too long, it will be very tired, when the butcher knife on his head comes from his brother, after all, he has inherited the love and memory of this body, it is impossible for people to really cut it all, especially the bloodthirsty body with the concept of "harmonious society", which often makes Chi Qiu feel that he is about to split his nerves.

Compared to his people, who grew up and survived in that environment, they had an instinctive attachment to knives and blood, and Chi Qiu couldn't, he also dreamed of Jin Ge Iron Horse and scolding Fang Xuan, just like many stories told in the vertical and horizontal network, but in fact, when he faced it, it was extremely difficult.

If he used to be a brave and ruthless commander and a domineering president, maybe he could, but he was just an ordinary person in peacetime.

Being a successful traveler is like translating Dream of Red Mansions into English, and proficiency in English is not enough.

"Wait." Chi Qiu looked at her, seeing that the woman who had been close to him was serving other men, no matter how he thought about it, he felt that he couldn't accept it, he was ruthless, gritted his teeth and said, "I still have fifty wen here, can you stay?" ”

"You mean to buy me?" The grievance in Zhou's eyes flashed, and he couldn't help but sigh when he asked rhetorically, although what Chi Qiu thought in his heart made her feel humiliated, but she felt a little relieved in her heart, at least this man would not see himself humiliated, and this alone was much stronger than her husband.

Chi Qiu gritted his teeth and said, "Buy!" ”

Zhou's heart is like a knife, in fact, she really didn't sell her body for money, the only time was that piece of jerky, if she treated the son of the concubine as her own, it was not accurate, in fact, that day, Xiao'er was clamoring to eat jerky, and Zhou also wanted to meet his request, but the father-in-law and mother-in-law said that they would not take back the jerky, and her daughter was not allowed to eat, which made all this change.

She originally just wanted to beg for a piece, Chi Qiu has been drinking with people, she once went back to see, her mother-in-law really didn't let her granddaughter eat, the little girl couldn't sleep hungry in bed, and she hated it at that time. When Chi Qiu made excessive demands, she was helpless, and she wanted to take revenge on Zou Yu, and even had a little idea of having nothing to love, so she agreed to Chi Qiu's blushing suggestion.

It's really a misstep that turns into a thousand hatreds, and now people really regard themselves as secret doors.

Zhou looked at the man in front of him silently, with thousands of words in his heart, but he was ashamed to open his mouth.
