Chapter 36: Han Niuzi and Sister Xing'er
Han Niuzi and Sister Xing'er were in a simple room built with a few pieces of wood, and the lunch brought by Sister Xing'er was packed on top of a small basket made of blue floral coarse cloth.
The two of them whispered as they took out the food in the basket, and there were no delicacies in the village, a few steaming golden pancakes, three or four white flour buns, and a can of tender chicken soup in a clay pot.
The rich aroma of chicken soup drifted along a cold wind, blowing the cold wind and smelling the fragrance, hungry and cold, hooking his neck and walking towards the room.
Sister Xing'er and Han Niuzi were talking, and they looked up and saw the guest rescued by Brother Niu walking towards them. After getting a haircut and giving a salute, Xia Zongxiao was surprised.
In the past two days, I have been worried about taking care of the unconscious Bai Ye, and occasionally chatting with Han Niuzi in my spare time is more of a cliché, wanting to know where my approximate situation is from Han Niuzi's mouth.
But this Han Niu Zi really deserves to be worthy of this Han character in his name, except for knowing from his mouth that the place where he is now is called Wolong Village, he doesn't know anything else, which state is under the jurisdiction of? What is the nearest state capital? Where is it? I don't know if you ask three questions...... I heard him stupidly mention his unmarried wife, Sister Xing'er.
From Han Niuzi's mouth, he knew that this Sister Xing'er came back from outside to Wolong Village to join his maternal ancestor, and she had been taking care of Bai Ye for the past two days, and she couldn't take care of many others, and when she saw Sister Xing'er, Xia Zongxiao decided that it was necessary to have a good understanding of her current situation.
Xia Zongxiao hesitated to organize his words in his heart, not knowing how to talk about it.
Sister Xing'er spoke first, her voice was gentle and soft and glutinous, not like a northland woman, her figure was slim, she was wearing a plain and elegant light plum long skirt as a base, wearing a brocade pod jacket with a somewhat old but neat style, her pretty face was white and soft, her eyebrows and phoenix eyes were leafy, her temperament was pure, and she had a quiet and soft beauty unique to Jiangnan women.
Cute dimples emerge on both sides between the openings and talks. "The concubine has seen Wei Gongzi ......"
This appearance and quiet temperament are really not something that a rural village girl who grew up in the countryside can have, Xia Zongxiao was secretly surprised, and he was a little more wary of this strange village in his heart...
The strange and complicated courtyard, the dead-faced patriarch who gave the white night potion, and the guards around him who were burly and straight, and their eyes were gloomy and dangerous...
And the strange eyes of the strange villagers when they returned to Han Niuzi's house with Bai Ye in their arms... I didn't pay attention to it at the time, but now that I think it's weird... There is also this daughter-in-law who has not passed through the door, Sister Xing'er, this demeanor is like a well-informed lady... All of this is revealing of the quirkiness of the village......
But don't just get out of the tiger's den and enter the wolf's den... Only this Han Niu Zi looks a little normal, although his temperament is a little silly...
Although Xia Zongxiao also secretly slandered in his heart, this foolish cow is five big and three, rough and stupid, and can marry a daughter-in-law with a big gap, and he really doesn't know how much virtue he has accumulated in his previous life...
But in his heart, he was sincerely grateful to Han Niuzi, if he hadn't been for him, he and Bai Ye might have drowned in that pool of water... Because... He can't swim ... And in the past two days, he has worked tirelessly to help him take care of Bai Ye, serve tea and rice, boil water and charcoal, and boil decoction and medicine, the simple kindness revealed from his bones made Xia Zongxiao very grateful to him.
When Bai Ye's injury is better, I will definitely repay him when I return to Shuozhou......
Think about it again, the white night in the house that makes him undressed, worried, and tired and "tarnished" his chastity, and has no femininity at all, is also a woman... is also a daughter-in-law who has not yet entered the door, why is the gap so big?
Xia Zongxiao hurriedly returned the salute: "Sister-in-law doesn't have to be polite, don't ask for the title of son-in-law, if it weren't for Brother Han's righteous rescue this time, I and I might have been... I haven't officially thanked the two Wanwang Haihan..."
Hearing Xia Zongxiao talk about her sweetheart, Sister Xing'er looked up with a pretty face, her face was full of happy smiles, and her eyes were soft and soft with happy and warm feelings: "Wei Gongzi is serious, Brother Niu is honest and kind by nature, and our village is located in a remote and deep mountain, and there are generally no outsiders... The fact that Wei Gongzi and Mrs. Zun can meet Brother Niu is also fate in the dark, so they don't have to take it to heart.
Don't call the concubine Mrs. Sister-in-law, call the concubine Sister Xing'er, the villagers call it that...
Childe doesn't need to be so restrained, the concubine and Brother Niu are both countrymen, they don't know what etiquette is, and Childe is so polite, but it makes us uncomfortable......"
Xia Zongxiao smiled and nodded, for the people close to him, Xia Zongxiao was very casual and did not stick to the number of etiquette, but the number of etiquette that should be in front of outsiders should be pretended, although Wen Crepe's words made him very bored.
Now that someone speaks, he is also happy to break the donkey, and in the past two days with Han Niuzi, Xia Zongxiao has also summed up the way out, sometimes the words are too literary, Han Niuzi still can't understand it, and he has to translate it into the vernacular......
Sister Xing'er took out a neat stack of neat cloth brocade from her arms as she spoke, and gently opened the brocade pa, a crystal clear jade wrench was lying in it, clear and flawless under the long-lost warm sunshine, and there were cumbersome and gorgeous beast heads carved on it, which looked like a tiger shape and was worth a lot of money......
Xia Zongxiao looked at Sister Xing'er suspiciously, isn't this what he gave to Han Niuzi yesterday, and he has been carrying the tiger jade wrench for many years?
Why did you take it out again? Don't you like it?
After all, Han Niuzi saved himself, and he and Bai Ye recuperated and lived in Han Niuzi's house, eating and drinking for nothing, and even bringing the envoy to the family, no relatives and no reason, Xia Zongxiao has two lifetimes of experience in the end, not a person who does not understand human feelings...
But when he was taken away by Bai Ye, it was already late at night, and the messy bits and pieces that he brought during the day had already been removed, and when he was taken away, Bai Ye grabbed a cotton robe for him, except for the wrench that was not removed from his right hand, there was really no valuable object at all.
And this bastard of the white night is cleaner than him... Except for a dagger that was cut off in the escape and killed and lost even the dagger sheath, not to mention the jade wrench... I don't even have a copper on my body...
"Sister-in-law..."Sister Xing'er looked at Xia Zongxiao with a smile, and Xia Zongxiao remembered what she had just said and changed her words in time: "Xing... Sister Xing'er, why is this? Don't you like it?
But I really don't have anything else around me, otherwise when Ah Ye's injury is better, I will definitely prepare a generous gift when we go back....."
Sister Xing'er still looked at Xia Zongxiao with a smile, just shook her head lightly, glanced at the moment she took out her fingers, her face turned red, she lowered her head, and didn't dare to look up at Xia Zongxiao, cramped and uneasy, like a child who did something wrong and was scolded by her elders.
There was a little reproach in his tone, but it was not too heavy: "Childe said that he was laughing!" Brother Niu is just a gesture... How can you accept such a heavy gift from your son?
He was confused for a moment yesterday, and Childe should not be blamed... This finger is precious, and we countrymen are not blessed, and the husband is not guilty of his crimes... Childe still put it away, don't show it easily in the future...."
"This ......" Xia Zongxiao didn't know how to answer her for a while.
Han Niuzi still lowered his head crampedly, his face was flushed and ashamed, and he didn't dare to look at the two. Seeing Han Niuzi like a child, Sister Xing'er showed a bright smile and said softly: "Okay! The concubine also knows that Brother Niu is for the concubine, but the gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way, isn't it his own things that he can't know?
Don't be stunned... Hurry up and divide the food of Wei Gongzi and Mrs. Wei, and help Wei Gongzi bring it to the house, it is cold outside, and this chicken soup should be more nourishing and nourishing while it is hot...
Wait for Wei Gongzi to cook the decoction for the second half of the day, and then you go to the mountain to chop some firewood and burn some charcoal, Grandma is old, and she can't burn the kang at night, and there is not much left at home......
Did you go to see the beast clamp in Wugou Forest in the first half of the month? It's been a long time, I want to go and see it, otherwise if I have prey, I should be taken by other mountain beasts... Be careful yourself... Don't be stupid and reckless, you must come back before the sun sets... Do not spend the night in the mountains......"
There is no pretentious shyness of the big boudoir lady, nor is there the vulgarity and rudeness of the country peasant woman. does not shy away from Xia Zongxiao, intimate manners do not make people feel frivolous, everything is so natural...
Sister Xing'er used her soft and glutinous Jiangnan accent to tirelessly advise, and Han Niuzi's somewhat messy hair was neat under Sister Xing'er's gentle explanation.
gently straightened the slightly stained neckline of Han Niuzi, and she did not dislike it like a gentle and virtuous little daughter-in-law.
After tidying up, he smiled and bowed to Xia Zongxiao to leave the jade wrench, and walked away lightly......
Xia Zongxiao looked at Sister Xing'er who was leaving, and then looked back at the house of the white night, and compared the two, he was disheartened and had to sigh deeply helplessly......
