Chapter 100: "The Cave Man"
On the second day, Tang Qi got up early as usual like a nobody, went out to collect vegetables, and then went to sell. The people in the family also tacitly agreed not to mention her involvement. It's just that she can feel that her family cares more about herself, and even the eldest brother, who comes back once a few days, brings his children to the house almost every day.
Even though they cherish the days with her so much, it will soon be her 15th birthday.
This day is not only her birthday, but also a sign that she has become an adult, and in this interface, the 15-year-old birthday is a big day. Early in the morning, my grandmother and mother took her to the cemetery to meet the ancestors, and then went home to eat a mouthful of noodles and drink a sip of wine, and then asked my father to change her hairstyle into the style of an adult woman, and took the hairpin that her grandmother had prepared for her early, and her mother personally inserted it into the bun, and then the second brother sprinkled some water on her. In this way, her rite of passage is complete.
At noon, after a hearty meal, she knelt down and kowtowed to her father, grandmother, and grandfather. "Please rest assured, Qiliang has grown up and will take care of himself, and Qiliang will definitely come back to see you if he is okay in the future." Qiu Banjin helped her up, patted her on the shoulder heavily, and didn't say anything. Her father kept wiping tears with a handkerchief.
From the year she started her business, to now, she has earned more than 30 taels of silver, and she stuffed the box in her hand to her father, which contained 30 taels. "Dad, these, let's prepare the second brother's dowry and supplement the family! Wait until I'm gone before opening it. She stopped her father from trying to give it back to her.
She has already said that she will go to that place, she will go by herself, she doesn't want the people in her family to see her join the family.
Put on the new clothes that the second brother had made for her, took the mother's token, an arrow, and walked out of the house, and the sister-in-law had already helped her put everything on the wooden cart and tie it up. Looking at the car full of things covered with cloth, she was very helpless, but she knew that this was also her mother's compensation, put Ah Qi on her shoulder, and lifted the handlebar hard, hmm~~ It's so heavy!
"Mother, father, grandmother, grandfather, brother, sister-in-law, go back! Take care of yourself. "She leaves slowly!
"Seven taels, what are you pulling? I'm still wearing such a straight dress. Acquaintances on the road asked her curiously, and she smiled back with an awkward smile. Alas~~ Who understands her depression!
"Ah Qi, show the way." commanded Ah Qi to help her show the way......
That forest is so far away! She was already sweating profusely, resting and resting, and when she didn't want to take a step, she finally arrived, looking at this dense forest, she suddenly thought of being brought to the tropical rainforest by Ah Qi to live a primitive life.
It was already night, the moonlight illuminated the road for her, she walked on the path of this dense forest, surrounded by dark shadows, from time to time there were the chirping of wild beasts and the rustling of leaves, Tang Qi swallowed a mouthful of saliva, if it was someone else, she would really be scared to death! Thanks to her current ability to brush the intimacy of small animals and beasts, hehehe...... Just look at the monkeys jumping around on her wooden cart.
I was so tired, I put the wooden cart down, wiped the sweat on my face, whew~~~ panting, sat directly on the handlebars of the wooden cart, and rested first.
"Someone's coming." Ah Qi thought that she was sweating too much, so she had already run to the wooden cart and lay on her stomach leisurely, with a hint of joy in her tone.
Tang Qi poured a sip of water from the water bag, and listening to Ah Qi's tone, it was estimated that the person was coming. Suddenly, a ......!!! appeared in front of her Hmm~~ Tarzan of the Apes! In the moonlight, she could vaguely see the general shape of the man. Wearing gray and tattered clothes, and there is a pungent smell on his body, looking at the thin body, it should be a man. It's just that this height is a head taller than her, what's the trouble? You haven't taken a shower in a few days! She also admires the messy weed-like hair! The complexion was indiscerning, revealing only his pure eyes, looking at her suspiciously and warily. What kind of conditions made him look like this!
She suddenly felt a little bit uncomfortable. "Ah Qi! It can't be him! "Ask Ah Qi in his mind.
"Uh-huh, it looks like it should be."
…… Alas, I know that this is the case, and everywhere she goes, she is super unlucky!
"Ahem, first time meeting, may I ask, who are you?" Banjin Niang said that she must be polite and decent in front of men, she is definitely a good apprentice she taught.
"......" was silent, and the other party continued to look at her vigilantly.
"Hehe, I'm Qiu Qiliang, and my mother asked me to come. It should be your father who saved my mother back then, so I kept my promise back then, come here to see you, don't worry, I will definitely be responsible and take care of you. She said sincerely, and never mentioned her involvement. Take out the arrow stuck in the cart and show it to him.
Seeing this arrow, I obviously saw that his eyes lit up, flashed a trace of longing and sadness, and the vigilance in his eyes was swept away. Grab her hand directly, "I...... Wait...... You ......" he spat out word by word, like a child who has just learned to speak.
Tang Qi frowned, this person seems to have been away from the crowd for a long, long time, and he is really Tarzan of the Apes! Where's his father? It won't be ......
It seemed that he understood what he was saying a little.
"Where do you live? Take me there! She said slowly, cooperatively.
Nodding his head, he walked forward, looking back at her from time to time, as if he was afraid that she would leave.
…… Didn't you see her pulling this heavy wooden cart? She can't run away if she wants to! He walked slowly in front of her and waited for her, fortunately her wooden cart was not particularly big, and it took several turns to come to a place that was considered a cave, no wonder it looked like this, the cave man on the top of the mountain!
Look at the geographical location here. Looking up at the steep mountain wall, it should be at the bottom of a cliff. There are dense forests all around, it's so hidden, and she looks at the guy who is standing up straight suspiciously, she won't get into any trouble
"To ...... Finish. After saying these two words slowly, he was silent again.
"Oh." She also silently put down the wooden cart, let Ah Qi follow, and entered the cave with him. Hehe...... I haven't cleaned it in years! The daily necessities that looked neatly furnished were all covered with dust, and there were cobwebs everywhere, what was that, rats? Also, it's dark night, why is it so bright here! When she saw the round and glowing thing the size of a goose egg, she suddenly dreamed of it, this couldn't be the pearl of the night! She had seen it in the palace at that time, and now, she actually saw it in a cave?! More than one? Also, can you wipe this valuable thing clean! It's all dust and cobwebs, are all babies treated like this? There is also a small pool in the cave, and the roof of the cave is not low with water. There's water!
Twitching the corner of his eye, he looked at what should be the futon spread on a pile of hay, and then looked deeply at the man, there was obviously a stone bed over there, why was it like this? I'm so helpless about his intelligence!
Seeing the bow and arrows hanging on the wall, the same arrows that her mother gave her, I was even more sad, it was really him! The slight hope in my heart has also been extinguished, my mother is obviously talking about a beautiful man like an elf, but it's obviously a beast! However, his father saved her mother's life, and she will take good care of him.
"Goo~~Goo~~" Tang Qi touched her stomach, she ate her godmother on the way! Why is the stomach singing empty city plan? "Goo~~" Alas? It's not me, look at the guy who is stupidly touching his belly, and I can't help but laugh.
"Are you hungry?" Bring the dry food that her father had prepared for her in her baggage, and hand it to him, "Eat." ”
He stretched out his hand to take it, but he saw Tang Qi take the food again, "That, I'll go get some water and wash my hands." "His hands should have been washed.
She thinks that her father's thoughtful person should have brought something! When she went out, he followed, not leaving a step. Look at the wooden cart full of things, untie the rope, and uncover the piece of cloth. OH! Daddy! This "dowry" is really rich, I almost moved my home!
With a warm heart, he took down the top washbasin, toiletries and broom, "You stay here and watch things, okay?" Got his heavy nod, still quite obedient. I went in and got a basin of water, and when I came out, I asked him to wash his hands, and found that he couldn't even wash his hands! What a god!
took out the honey locust, didn't dislike him, helped him wash his hands and face fiercely, the color of the water, she really didn't want to see it! Pull out a string and tie his messy hair at will, under the moonlight, she really saw the elf that her mother said! With a white complexion, a delicate face, and his cute and innocent little eyes, he is really an elf who has fallen into the world, but he is too downtrodden! Shoved the dry food into his hands, "You eat slowly, I'll go in and clean up." She smiled softly and nodded at him, she figured it out, this guy is just a child who hasn't grown up!
She took off her brand new clothes, put them on her old clothes, and went in with a broom, a rag, and a bucket of water. First clear out the messy things inside, throw away the ones that should be thrown away, clean up those clutter tomorrow, clean the hole again, first make the bed, the stone bed is still very delicate! It's amazing to hew a large stone into a bed directly here.
Spread the new futon prepared by his father, if he knew that all the things he prepared were used, I am afraid that the water would flood Jinshan Temple again!
After a while, she finally packed up and got out of the cave, and the guy was still very honest there, and he should have eaten all the dry food, just look at his contented appearance. It's just that, in the face of his sloppy appearance, gritting his teeth, there is still a big project!
