Chapter 11 I am the beacon that guides life
Qiao E chirped and talked about how she was aggrieved at home, because she was a woman, she was dark and ugly, she was very good at eating, and she had a short temper...... As she spoke, this resentment came up, and she casually scratched her finger on the wall.
"The slave family eats a lot, but they also do a lot, carrying water and farming, hunting and chopping wood, even men can't compare to me. But they just don't look down on it. Picking horizontally and vertically, making the slave's house angry, he simply didn't go back for a few days. And also...... So so, so and so, and so on, it's even more disgusting. Daoist, you say, is it theirs or mine. ”
Under the indignation, Qiao E did not have a light weight, and after a stroke, the dust on the wall fell with a bang, and after saying that, there were already several deep grooves on the wall.
The kitchen house was made of adobe, but it was sturdy, and who could make a ditch with your fingers?
Meng Jiucheng's eyes almost fell to the ground, he was stunned, and he was stunned for a while. It took a long time before he gasped and said continuously: "It's all a lady's yes, it's all a lady's." These people don't know what to do, and they really give in. ”
Qiao E let out a sigh of relief, looked at Meng Jiucheng, smiled and nodded, "It's still the Taoist who is sensible, and when he says this, the slave family feels a lot happier in his heart." ”
You fool, you still call yourself a slave, you get goosebumps when you hear it. Silly girl, let me be the beacon, be the helmsman, and guide your life!
Meng Jiucheng's eyes rolled, and he began to seduce again, "Qiao Niangzi, if you want to be the first, glory and wealth, I think the only way to plan is from your own ability." ”
Qiao E frowned, scratched her head, and asked puzzledly, "Is it the ability to hunt, can you also be prosperous and rich?" ”
"The same skill depends on where it is used." Meng Jiucheng said while thinking: "Like me, I want to get rich and noble on the horse. The troubled times have come, and those who have the courage should make contributions and gallop on the battlefield, how can they waste the years and die in the mountains? ”
Qiao E seemed to understand whether she understood or not, and shook her head again after a while, "But the slave family is a woman, where can I accept it?" No, no! ”
You don't look in the mirror, where are you like a woman?
Meng Jiucheng rolled his eyes, grinned, and said, "When the time comes, I'll show you the way." Don't underestimate the woman, the heroines like Mulan and Liang Hongyu are famous in history! ”
"Okay, you show me the way, I want it, and I want to earn a fortune." Qiao E clenched her fists and waved, "Eat enough every day, live in a big house, and there are still people waiting, right?" ”
"That's for sure, or how about calling it a general!" Meng Jiucheng raised his eyebrows, "Go out and ride a horse and sit in a sedan chair, hugging forward and back; Go home to the delicacies of the mountains and seas, and order whatever you want......"
With a bang, Qiao E's swallowing saliva was very loud, which showed that she was most concerned about something.
"I also want to be a general, and I don't have to suffer in this ravine." The ugly man who was muffled and added to the fire made a sound, and the light of the fire made his face flicker, as if to show that his mood was not calm.
Meng Jiucheng smiled bitterly, in front of Qiao E, he didn't dare to say anything about life and death, but just met the ugly gaze, stretched out his hand and patted his partner's shoulder.
………….
Fragrant stewed meat, hot soup, and pancakes mixed with aroma and heat in the room. It's been the afternoon, and it's time for breakfast. Several people were hungry, sitting or standing, and eating heartily.
Meng Jiucheng estimated that one pot of food would definitely not be enough, so he stewed meat in the pot in the kitchen. Xiaowei didn't eat much, and most of her physical strength recovered, so she sensibly went to add firewood to the fire. Sanming didn't have a lot of food, so he went to the kitchen to help.
Although others are hungry, they still know how to be polite and reserved. Only Qiao E, when she saw the food, her eyes lit up, she thanked her, picked up the wooden ladle, brought a basin, and ate it with meat and soup.
Meng Jiucheng and the others didn't think it at first, but after a long time, when they saw her eating appearance, they couldn't help but pay attention, and even ate and drank slowly.
After a while, Qiao E ate cleanly, and seemed to be a little unsatisfied.
Meng Jiucheng blinked his eyes and said secretly: This guy is bigger than his belly. It turned out that he was still self-deprecating, and the five-character secret of success was "especially able to endure hardships", and he had mastered the four-character "special ability to eat". Now it seems that "special and special can eat" should be Qiao E's title.
Everyone else was full, Meng Jiucheng deliberately put down his chopsticks and said, "I'll wait a minute, Qiao Niangzi-" He made a gesture and motioned for Qiao E to continue.
Oh, Qiao E only humbled slightly, then she was polite, opened her bow left and right, and ate the rest of the food like a cloud.
There was not much time, Xiaowei and Sanming brought food again, this time the meat was chopped, cooked and cooked, but it was not rotten, and it took a lot of teeth.
Meng Jiucheng filled a bowl, took a piece of pancake, felt that he could eat enough, and gave the rest to Qiao E.
When he was young, in the stunned eyes of everyone, Qiao E ate clean again. This time it was a bit of a support, until the burp was full.
Meng Jiucheng looked at it and grinned, this girl can't be a rice bucket, right? No wonder the family has opinions, how much do you have to pay to raise this guy?
After eating, Meng Jiucheng asked a few women to go to the inner room to rest first, and he and Mu Yi and the others discussed things outside.
"A certain family saw a lot of rice and grain in the view, but dozens of people ate and drank, but they couldn't stand it for a few days." Mu Yi expressed his worries about the future, "The weather is cold, and the robbers are scared, and the refugees may not dare to go down the mountain in the short term." ”
Chen Daotong looked at Mu Yi, although he didn't say it, but it was also his mind not to go down the mountain for the time being.
"My tutor asked me to keep watch, so I bought enough rice in advance, enough for me to eat for three months." Meng Jiucheng pondered for a moment and said, "Lingyang Town is the closest to here, and you can send someone to inquire tomorrow." If they have not been robbed by robbers, they can let everyone pool their money and go to buy food. ”
"Lingyang is so big, there are so many people living there, how dare dozens of robbers rob it?" In the eyes of the big ugly, Lingyang is more than ten times larger than the small mountain village where she lives, but she doesn't know that cities bigger than Lingyang will not be spared in the troubled times.
"This-" Meng Jiucheng didn't want to talk at length, so he popularized geographical knowledge for Shanliwa, so he changed the topic, "Buying grain and settling down will have to wait until tomorrow." Right now, I think we need to organize everyone and don't just run around! Let's take a riot or bandit or something, and everyone can resist it......"
Before the words fell, there was a chaotic noise outside, and the exclamation of "The rebels are coming" was faintly heard.
Meng Jiucheng's face changed, he jumped off the bed, and everyone got up.
The door was pushed open, and a refugee stumbled in and shouted in a changed voice: "Oh no, the rebels are coming up the mountain, everyone flee!" ”
