Chapter 31: One Less Man
Take a closer look, these people are all farmers, don't look at the momentum of these people in front of you, Qi Jing rushed in and with a few moves, he could beat them and lose their armor. Just now, a skinny young man slipped out while no one was looking.
The long-bearded old man walked with an old step, made it to the opposite side of Qijing, looked at the dishes on the table, nodded, and was still very satisfied with Shen Ruolan's attitude, no matter what, they were all guests, and the etiquette of hospitality still had to be observed.
Qi Jing carefully observed the old man, and also put away his playful thoughts, this old man does not look like an old farmer in terms of his actions or temperament, it seems that this Xiangshu Village is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger.
"I don't know where the little brother is from?"
Qi Jing said with a smile, "You and I are both people of the Ming Dynasty, why bother asking about the source, but why does the old gentleman live here?" β
"The beautiful mountains and rivers are very suitable for the elderly to retire."
Qi Jing could see that the old man wanted to drive himself out, and looking at the posture, if he was forced to stay, he was afraid that he would not go out for the rest of his life. It seems that this secret is not small, Qi Jing is interested, so naturally he refuses to leave until he understands it.
The old man looked at Qi Jing who was rhythmically tapping his fingers on the table, twisting his beard and about to speak.
Qi Jing watched the old man twist his beard, and he subconsciously went to twist his beard, but he only touched the thin stubble, a little embarrassed and a little surprised, he actually grew a beard.
When the old man saw Qi Jingxue his movements, he was angry and angry, "The erector is rude!" β
This roar made Qi Jing tremble, Qi Jing glanced at the old man angrily and said, "Judging from the voice, you still have a few years to live, cherish the time!" β
"Presumptuous, aren't you afraid that the old man will call someone from the court?! Seeing that you are wearing armor, and you are so embarrassed, I am afraid that you are a wanted criminal by the imperial court, and if you leave here obediently, the old man can no longer be held accountable! β
Qi Jing pouted, "Old man, you and I are not clean buttocks, let's not fix this." "Qi Jing is not afraid that the old man will call the people of the court, if he wants to call it a long time ago, why wait until now, everyone's buttocks are not clean, and it is the right way to hide them if they can't wipe them clean.
When the old man heard Qi Jing's words, his face finally turned gray, "What do you want?" β
Qi Jing's eyes rolled, and he was about to ask the old man what secrets he had, but after thinking about it, what secrets did he care, what did he bother with so much effort about things that had nothing to do with him, in case he really annoyed the old man, the old man would be ruthless and end up, and it was himself who would lose the most.
"Actually, I want you to do me a favor."
"What's the busy?" The old man waved his hand, and the farmers left Shen Ruolan's house in a swarm.
"Get me a horse and make sure no one bothers me until I'm healed."
"You have to make sure you've never been to Xiangshu Village."
"Deal!"
Shen Ruolan listened to the conversation between her grandfather and the young man in confusion, although she couldn't understand it, she could see from her grandfather's reassuring smile that the crisis had been resolved.
Shen Ruolan touched Shen Hu's head, his younger brother is a blessed man, and there are people who bear thousands of sins for him, as long as the incense is endless, he is worthy of his ancestors and ancestors.
Without scruples, Qi Jing and the old man talked very happily, and the old man was also surnamed Shen, which made Qi Jing a little surprised.
"Elder Shen, you don't look like a farmer, how can you live in seclusion here."
"Alas, life is forced, and after the ups and downs, I know that nothing matters, but life is the most important thing."
Qi Jing nodded when he heard this, it seems that this Shen Lao must have experienced a lot, otherwise he would not have given birth to such a radical idea.
ββββ
Qi Jing was arranged to live in Shen Ruolan's house, which made Shen Ruolan even red all night, and she was twisted and pinched for dinner, Qi Jing was injured, and if she wanted to recover, she had to replenish nutrition, Shen Ruolan killed two chickens and boiled a pot of chicken soup.
Qi Jing and Shen Hu competed to see who ate more, until Shen Hu rolled his eyes when he ate, Qi Jing laughed, put down the big bowl heroically, and fished out a large piece of chicken, "Boy, do you want to accept it?!" β
Shen Hu burped and said unconvinced, "No, you are bigger than me, if I am as big as you, I will eat more than you." β
Shen Ruolan patted Shen Hu's head, "Let's eat, let's go play, and eat by the way." β
Shen Hu snorted, and ran out to find his friends in the village.
Qi Jing looked at Shen Hu's happy back, and his heart was also happy, since he arrived in Jingshi, how long has he not been so happy, and without pressure, Qi Jing wanted to sing a song in his heart.
Shen Ruolan put down her rice bowl, took out Qi Jing's tattered armor from the house, and carefully dipped a brush in the courtyard and brushed it up.
Shen Ruolan looked at the two big holes in the breastplate, she really didn't know how this person survived, in her opinion, she was so seriously injured, she should have died a long time ago, even if she couldn't die, she should have wailed in bed for half a month like Zou Shu, a prodigal son in the village.
Last time, Zou Shu fell and scratched a little skin on his arm, so he lay on the bed and wailed for several days.
Shen Ruolan thought of this, so she secretly glanced at Qi Jing, doesn't this person know that it hurts?
Qi Jing was trying his best to deal with the chicken legs, and he didn't notice that Shen Ruolan was peeking at him, Qi Jing was still self-aware, and it was already a boast to say that he had good facial features, and he didn't think that a woman would fall in love with him.
So Shen Ruolan's blushing was all due to the shyness of a normal little woman, in fact, he originally thought so. In his impression, the woman who shouted "I love you" to the star didn't kiss me and me with her husband after she came home, she was shy, it was no big deal.
Qi Jing's thinking was wrong, in this era, a woman who has been nesting in the boudoir all her life can meet a scholar who is a little talented and can make a private decision for life, or even martyrdom. So the beauties who flock to the protagonist after the crossing written in those novels are not a joke, in this era, an amorous and funny man will always gain the favor of beautiful women, especially in a patriarchal society, how does it look, it is very secondary.
Meimei slept well, before the sun came out, Qi Jing had already woken up, and several years of military camp career made him remember it deeply.
Pushing open the door of the house, the sky was already dark, and he found that Shen Ruolan and Shen Hu had woken up.
Shen Ruolan was picking vegetables in the yard, while Shen Hu was taking a step. Ma Buzha is crooked, not to mention, his body is still soft.
Qi Jing frowned, went up and kicked Shen Hu's leg with a kick, Shen Hu's body was unstable, and he fell to the ground. Shen Ruolan exclaimed, got up and was about to run over to help Shen Hu up.
As soon as Qi Jing's arm stretched out, he blocked Shen Ruolan.
"Zama's practice is to play the next plate, and you will fall to the ground with a light kick, is this called practice? Re-tie, put away the tears, what tears a man sheds, practicing martial arts has to endure hardship, even if he sheds tears, he can't eat less bitterness, now it's easy, it's a death on the battlefield! β
Shen Hu gritted his teeth, wiped away his tears with his sleeve, and re-tied his horse steps.
Qi Jing corrected Shen Hu's movements while reprimanding, sure enough, Shen Hu had been lazy, and he usually didn't see him crying tired for an hour, but in less than a few minutes, Shen Hu's sweat flowed down.
Seeing this, Shen Ruolan's tears flowed, and she said disappointedly, "Shen Hu, how can you be γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» like this?"
"I'm sorry sister, Xiaohu won't lie to you anymore." Shen Hu said softly, since he was a young lady, he told him to be self-reliant, and his grandfather wanted to tie his own horse steps for two hours every morning, he was very tired at first, and then the clever Shen Hu found the trick, as long as he was lazy, he would not be so tired.
Shen Ruolan pinned all her hopes on Shen Hu, and now she knows that Shen Hu has been lying to him, where can she bear it.
Qi Jing saw Shen Ruolan covering her face and crying, and angrily kicked Shen Hu's body, Shen Hu fell hard, where could her small body withstand Qi Jing's kick.
"Roll up for Lao Tzu, he has achieved nothing at a young age, and he has actually learned to be smart! If I see you being lazy again, I'll break your skin! β
Shen Ruolan saw Shen Hu fall to the ground, her heart softened, and she thought that Shen Hu had deceived him, so she was ruthless and went back to the house with tears.
Qi Jing followed behind Shen Ruolan, and seeing that Shen Ruolan's tears couldn't be wiped clean, he couldn't help but speak.
"You don't have to blame yourself for this."
"It's me who didn't discipline him well."
"Anyway, you're a woman and you don't understand this, so I don't blame you."
Shen Ruolan raised her head and looked into Qi Jing's eyes, "Really? β
Qi Jing smiled and nodded, "Shen Hu is still a child, but he is just a little naughty, and there is this matter, don't tell Shen Lao, I will train him well in the next few days when I am recuperating from my injuries." Old Shen is old after all, so don't let him bother. β
Qi Jing couldn't see the tears of women the most, and he was upset when he saw it, but now it is good to be able to suppress his worries and comfort Shen Ruolan well. But he also likes Shen Hu very much, this is a good boy, but he is a little naughty, but it doesn't matter, he can change it.
Shen Ruolan wiped her tears, Qi Jing's words made her feel a lot more at ease, as Shen Hu got older and older, Shen Ruolan had long felt that it was not easy to discipline, grandpa was old, there must be a man in the family after all, thinking of this, Shen Ruolan's face turned redγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»
