Chapter 264: Beautiful Mountains and Waters (Three Watches)
It also allowed Xu Wendong to see the performance of the repeater and their technology up close.
To be honest, his eyes were hot when he saw it, and he wanted to give it a try.
Zhong Yuxiu was surprised that the girl's family was not neglecting the boy at all with a crossbow to shoot wild things.
Their eyes were full of interest, and they looked directly at the repeater in their hands.
Tao Qini looked at her sparkling eyes and said, "Interested." ”
"Uh-huh!" Zhong Yuxiu nodded busily.
"I'll give you one." Tao Qini looked at her and said with a smile.
"What's so embarrassing?" Zhong Yuxiu looked at her and smiled.
"I made it very rough, and Mrs. Chu didn't dislike it." Tao Qini's crystal clear eyes looked at her and said.
Zhong Yuxiu's eyes widened, her mouth grew into an O-shape, she looked at her in disbelief and said, "You did it?" ”
"To be precise, the drawings drawn by Mr. Yao, I made them based on the drawings, but the materials are limited." Tao Qini looked at her and said with a little regret, ran to the wheelbarrow, took out a repeater from it and handed it to her, "Let's see first, how to use it, and when you get out of the car, I'll teach you." ”
"Is it easy to learn?" Zhong Yuxiu looked at the crossbow in her hand, then looked at her and asked, "To be honest, don't laugh at me, I can't pull away the curved bow that my family Ah Jiu often uses." ”
"This is very easy to learn, and the second girl is very skilled." Tao Qini looked at her and pointed to the prey in the hands of the second girl.
"Are they so powerful?" Zhong Yuxiu said in surprise.
"Of course, this worldly girl has to learn how to protect herself." Tao Qini looked at her with clear eyes like autumn water and said, "If it weren't for their daughters, their skills would have been able to enter the barracks, and it would be useless to stay by my side." ”
Zhong Yuxiu's eyes turned to the two girls, her black eyes flashed slightly, she lowered her head and fiddled with the repeater, and asked the east and the west with great interest, and when she arrived in Zhuangzi, she basically understood the structure of the repeater.

"This is what I said about Zhuangzi, although it is far away from the city, but it is better because there are many houses and the place is big enough." Zhong Yuxiu got down from the carriage and looked at them and said, "At the foot of the mountain is fertile land, and irrigation is also very convenient. Except that it is not very convenient to get into town. ”
"Surrounded by mountains and rivers, beautiful mountains and rivers, and fertile farmland, it is indeed a good place." Tao Qini nodded with great satisfaction.
The ordinary farm is much better than Tao Qini expected.
The creek meanders through it, the green water entangles it, the scenery is intoxicating, and the water also nourishes people. The flowers and trees are luxuriant, the stone forests are secluded, the scenery is picturesque, and the scattered houses are hidden among the lush trees.
The mountain trail is a stone road, which is the main road into Zhuangzi.
Tao Qini's crystalline eyes flickered, and it was obvious that the thorns and bushes had just been cleared.
"The houses are all made of local materials, with the rocks in the mountains as the walls and the hay in the mountains as the roof, which looks not as neat as the brick and wood structures in the city, but it also has the advantage that it is warm in winter and cool in summer." Zhong Yuxiu said as she walked.
"It's good, I like it here, we lived in a stone house in Black Wind Village before we came." Tao Qini did not hide her joy at all, compared to the city, she was very satisfied with the smell of grass in the air.
It is also very convenient for Tao Qini to do what she wants to do here.
"Black Wind Ridge, not far from here is Phoenix Ridge, which is the gateway to Bozhou, and the rebels are stationed here, so the safety is absolutely guaranteed." Zhong Yuxiu's bright eyes looked at her and said with a smile.
"Hmm!" Tao Qini nodded when she heard this.
The village is rich in natural vegetation, with a wide variety of trees, including pine, wisteria, chestnut trees, pepper trees, walnut trees, hawthorn trees, bamboo, etc.
The layout of Zhuangzi's buildings is staggered, flexible and reasonable, and the building complex is simple and natural.
Courtyards made of stones, gates made of wattles, stone mills creaking and twisting in the corners.
"This courtyard is in the middle of the village." Zhong Yuxiu walked in and said, "Three halls, plus east and west rooms, but the bedroom is not a shelf bed but a kang." ”
"We also sleep on the kang at home." Tao Qini nodded with satisfaction and said, "I like it very much here, thank you, Mrs. Chu." ”
"I call you Sister Tao, why do you still call me Mrs. Chu!" Zhong Yuxiu said enthusiastically, "Call me Sister Zhong." ”
"Don't dare to climb high!" Tao Qini simply refused directly.
Zhong Yuxiu took her hand and said, "I have a sense of familiarity with Sister Tao today, so don't shirk it." "I've got the final say.
Tao Qini pursed her lower lip, her enthusiasm was really a little overwhelming.
"Come into the house and take a look, the furniture inside is ready-made, the daily necessities are complete, and the food is enough to eat until this summer's harvest." Zhong Yuxiu pulled her into the room, "Look! Suddenly he remembered, "By the way, the farm tools are also ready." ”
People even have the iron pot and firewood in the kitchen ready, and they can start the fire directly.
Tao Qini couldn't find the right words except to say thank you.
"Okay, you just arrived and you have to pack your things, I won't bother you, I'll come to see you another day." Zhong Yuxiu led Tao Qini inside and out to see the house before saying.
Tao Qini sent them, Zhong Yuxiu, and them to the foot of the mountain.
Along the way, each family pulled their children, thousands of instructions, and thousands of instructions, you must do a good job!
Tao Qini watched them leave, and then turned back to the mountain.
*
On the way back, Yao Changsheng let Xu Wendong and Zhong Yuxiu see their true abilities.
If you don't show some strength, I'm sorry for other people's gifts.
traveled all the way, and did not fall behind, you must know that Xu Wendong and Zhong Yuxiu are one riding a horse and the other is riding a carriage.
In terms of physical strength alone, these children are not inferior to the strong men of adulthood.
Xu Wendong sent Yao Changsheng and them to the barracks, and arranged for someone to escort Zhong Yuxiu back to the Marshal's Mansion.

Tao Qini and the others returned to Zhuangzi and looked at Uncle Zheng and said, "There are many houses, choose by yourself." ”
"I'll be next door to you, Miss." Uncle Zheng said briskly.
"Then I'll stay on the other side." Qiao Erniu hurriedly said, for fear that she would be snatched away if she was slow.
The rest of their choices are concentrated as much as possible, surrounding Tao Qini, so that they can take care of each other.
"Hungry? Let's eat something while it's still light. Tao Qini looked at them and said, "Divide the prey and go back to do it!" ”
Qiao Erniu rolled up her sleeves and said, "I stay to cook, and if I eat alone and then start the fire, it's too wasteful." So saying, he picked up his prey and went out of the yard to the brook.
"Whatever you want." Tao Qini's clear eyes looked at her and said.
"I'll help you." Shen followed behind Erniu and said.
"No, no, I can do it myself." Qiao Erniu ran fast, and in the blink of an eye, she disappeared.
"Dad, mother, let's go around and familiarize ourselves with the environment." Tao Qini looked at them and said.
"Okay!"
The family of three walked out of the courtyard and towards the foot of the mountain.
