Chapter Eighty-Five: Inquiring

Halfway through, the uncle driving the donkey cart reminded Qi Jiuli to get out of the car and pointed out the direction, and then in a burst of attention and whispering, Qi Jiuli got off the donkey cart and walked towards Mushan Village.

Qi Jiuli's footsteps are big, looking around along the sheep intestine path, there are a lot of farmland along the road, and the people working in the field look up at themselves from time to time, but compared to Qiliangou, there are some fewer fields here.

The trail slowly went up, and the terrain under his feet gradually rose, but Qi Jiuli's walking speed remained the same, and his wheezing sound was slightly heavier than usual.

Ascending to the flat ground, the width of the trail suddenly extended, and then there is a gathering village, this is Mushan Village, although it is the foot of the mountain, but it is higher than the general village landing.

At the entrance of the village, there were many people on the road, and the little dolls chased with wooden swords in their hands, and there were those who played with slingshots, picked up stones with their hands, and shot at the birds in the trees.

"Little doll, my brother asks you questions, if you can help, my brother will give you delicious cornmeal and potato cakes." Qi Jiuli squatted down and removed the coarse cloth covering the basket, revealing the yellow and clear cakes inside.

Several babies around stopped moving, looked at Qi Jiuli cautiously, and saw that he was handsome and young, so he moved over in small steps, and after seeing the contents of the basket, the sound of swallowing saliva came and went.

Of course, there are also people who didn't come over, Qi Jiuli didn't feel strange at all, and explained with a smile, "Brother is not a bad person, there are so many of you, you are still in your Mushan Village, where is there such a big courage to do bad things, the people in Mushan Village are all strong, and this is famous in several neighboring villages." ”

Qi Jiuli's explanation made the little doll relax her vigilance, and she asked directly with more courage, "Brother, what do you want to ask?" ”

"I want to ask where is Mu Da Niang's house?" Qi Jiuli said with a smile.

"Brother wants to marry a daughter-in-law?"

The smile on Qi Jiuli's face froze, and then the smile deepened, "My brother is still young, so I'm here to ask for my family." ”

"Aunt Mu is there." A little doll pointed the way, "Keep walking, keep walking, and when you see half of the blue brick house, it is Mu Da Niang's house, and in the village, Mu Da Niang's house is half green brick and half adobe, which is very easy to recognize." ”

Qi Jiuli took out the cornmeal potato cake and handed it to the little doll who showed the way, "Thank you, little brother." ”

The little doll swallowed and smelled the taste, but she didn't want to eat it, but carefully put it in her pocket, with a bright smile on her face, "I'll take it back for my sister to eat." ”

Qi Jiuli's heart was soft for a while, this simple era.

"My brother also wants to ask, is there a girl of the right age to marry in Mushan Village?" Qi Jiuli said with a smile.

It's also because they are all little dolls and have a simple heart, otherwise they would have to go to Mu Da Niang's house, do the girls of the right age in Mushan Village know better than her.

"There are several, Sister Shanju, Sister Dujuan, Sister Cuicui, Sister Yingying......" The little doll reported a lot of sisters with a face, Qi Jiuli heard Sister Yingying, and thought it was this.

"There are a lot of beautiful flowers, and Sister Yingying, is it the warbler of the Yellow Bird bird, the name is so good." Qi Jiuli said with a smile.

"That's right, it's the warbler of the oriole, brother, you're so smart."

Qi Jiuli distributed a cornmeal potato cake to each of the little dolls present, and the cake in the basket went down halfway at once.

The first little boy to share the cake, seeing that it was the largest one present, and he didn't eat the cake on the spot, Qi Jiuli leaned in and whispered, "Little doll, can you take my brother to Mu Da Niang's house, and then I will share another cake with you." ”

"My name is Stone, I'm seven years old, I'm not a doll anymore." Mu Shishi said seriously, but in the end, it was difficult to resist the temptation of cornmeal and potato cakes, and agreed to lead the way for Qi Jiuli.

The two walked side by side, and Qi Jiuli asked all the way, "I heard from the people in our village that the girls in Mushan Village are so spicy that ordinary men can't bully them." ”

"The sisters in our village are very gentle and not spicy." Mu Shishi retorted.

"In this way, sure enough, people can't take it seriously if they listen to other people's words, so I want to see it with my own eyes today, after all, some people say that the girl in Mushan Village is hardworking and capable, and she is a good hand at the house." Qi Jiuli looked strange.

"The sisters in our village are very good, they can do all the work in the field, they can catch rabbits when they go to the mountains, and they can also nitrate rabbit skins, and they are also good-looking." Mu Shi said proudly.

"Did the other little dolls say that those sisters are all good-looking?" Qi Jiuli asked curiously, "The eldest brother in the family has also reached the age of marriage, and the family is anxious, so I specially asked me to come to Aunt Mu today, and have a good relationship with Aunt Mu, and also told me to take a good look at the girl in Mushan Village, is it particularly good." ”

"Sister Yingying is the best-looking, but Sister Yingying's family lives in a big brick house." After Mu Shishi finished speaking, he looked at Qi Jiuli, "Is the eldest brother in my brother's family a scholar?" Uncle Fugui wants to find a reader for Sister Yingying. ”

So that's the case, no wonder he fell in love with his brother, Qi Jiuli secretly worried.

"Eh, that's Sister Yingying, look, isn't it particularly good-looking." Mu Shishi pulled the corner of Qi Jiuli's clothes, pointed to a pink back in front of him and said.

Hey, luck is so good, Qi Jiuli carefully looked at Mu Yingying's back, looked in the direction she was walking, and then retracted his gaze.

"It looks good, but I don't see the face." Qi Jiuli deliberately raised his head and said.

"Brother, this is Mu Da's family." Mu Shishi pointed to the house in front of him and said.

"Thanks for the stones." Qi Jiuli took out the cornmeal and potato cakes and gave Mu Shi two, "The extra one is a reward for you." ”

Mu Shishi struggled to thank him, then ran away with a smoke, ran out for a while and looked back at Qi Jiuli, and then disappeared around the corner.

Qi Jiuli waited for a while, walked directly past Mu Da Niang's house, and chased in the direction where Mu Yingying walked.

After walking for half an hour, they all went up the mountain, Qi Jiuli hadn't found Mu Yingying's figure yet, but he met a few villagers from Mushan Village, but everyone just looked at her and didn't ask, Qi Jiuli was also happy.

After walking up for another quarter of an hour, the trees became denser and denser, and the road became smaller and smaller, Qi Jiuli stopped, it didn't make sense, her speed should have caught up, but it was not good to go up.

Qi Jiuli was a little lost, rested with his back against the big tree for a while, he was quiet, and the sounds around him began to become clearer, and Qi Jiuli seemed to hear the sound.

It's already here, but you can't miss it, Qi Jiuli began to walk in the direction where the sound came from, and the closer he got, the clearer the sound became.

"Brother Kawatani, don't you like me at all? My father is going to let me get married, I don't want to marry any scholar, can you go to my house to propose. ”

"You are?" A slightly deep man's voice asked with confusion.

Qi Jiuli twitched the corners of her mouth, she felt a little sympathy for this girl.
