Chapter 38: The Time of Separation
Tang Xiaoqing looked at him suspiciously, and said arrogantly: "What do I have to give up, the most reluctant thing for me is silver." ”
"You money-grub." Duanmu Qi smiled faintly, thinking of leaving here, there was too much reluctance in his heart.
"People die for money, and birds die for food, this is an eternal truth." Although Tang Xiaoqing is greedy for money, he is only greedy for the silver he deserves.
Duanmu Qi listened to her tirade, and for the first time did not refute, just listened quietly on the side.
Tang Xiaoqing's eyes were slightly, and he sat up from the rocking chair suddenly, "What's wrong with you today?" That's not usually the case. ”
"I'm not telling you, I'm leaving here soon." Duanmu Qi retracted his gaze, looked into the distance and whispered.
"You're leaving?" Tang Xiaoqing said with a slight surprise in his tone, but thinking about it, Qi Mu is not an ordinary person at first glance, and he will not stay in Huangjia Village for the rest of his life, and it is only a matter of time before he leaves.
Duanmu Qi was about to say something, but his eyes inadvertently saw a figure not far away, and then said, "Wait for me." ”
He lifted his feet back into the room, and the black shadow handed him the jade pendant.
"Hide yourself and wait here for me to come back." After Duanmu Qi finished instructing, he closed the door again.
Returning to Tang Xiaoqing, Duanmu Qi handed over the jade pendant in his hand.
Tang Xiaoqing didn't reach out to pick it up, but asked, "What are you doing here?" ”
"I'm leaving soon, and the jade pendant will be used to pay off the money owed to you." Duanmu Qi said proudly.
Tang Xiaoqing was no longer polite when he heard him say this, and directly took the jade pendant and looked at it in his hand, the jade color and the pattern on it were excellent, if he took it to the pawnshop, he should give a lot of silver.
Duanmu Qi saw her thoughts at a glance, and immediately threatened: "Don't sell the jade pendant, this thing is very valuable, you must keep it well." ”
"Got it." Although Tang Xiaoqing agreed like this in his mouth, he actually had other ideas in his heart.
Tang Xiaoqing put the jade pendant in her arms, got up and walked outside, she planned to plow the land she bought for drinking water so that she could grow rice next spring.
Duanmu Qi saw the heartless person, and he didn't even look reluctant, and he was extremely unhappy and chased out.
"Do you remember what I said?" Duanmu Qi was really afraid that as soon as he left, Tang Xiaoqing would put his words behind him.
Tang Xiaoqing continued to walk forward without looking back, "You said so many words, which sentence should I remember?" ”
"Remember not to sell the jade pendant, and you can't forget me." Duanmu Qi's lips turned up slightly, and his tone was full of pride.
"I try to remember." Tang Xiaoqing smiled indifferently.
Although she didn't have any expression on her face, she was also a little reluctant to hear that he was leaving, after all, she had been together for so long, and it was false to say that she had no affection at all.
Duanmu Qi ran in front of Tang Xiaoqing, and while walking backwards, he said in a commanding tone: "You must wait for me to come back." ”
"Hmm." Tang Xiaoqing was even more simple this time, only replying with one word.
Duanmu Qi stopped, looked at her back as she gradually left, and did not continue to follow, he was going to leave after all.
Tang Xiaoqing came to the Houshan field and looked at the ten acres of fertile land, his brows furrowed.
The field she bought this time was not a paddy field, and if she wanted to grow rice, she had to divert water, so it seemed that she was going to talk to the village.
Tang Xiaoqing found the village chief and said his thoughts, but he didn't expect the village chief to veto it.
"Absolutely not, what if the water is diverted to someone else's field? You can't just look out for yourself. The village chief didn't give Tang Xiaoqing a good look, and his tone was even sharper.
"Village chief, it's best to call the villagers over to discuss this kind of thing, after all, this is everyone's business, not you alone."
Tang Xiaoqing wanted to inform the villagers of the benefits of water diversion, so that perhaps they could agree, after all, no one wanted to increase their food constants.
"Okay, I'll let you die completely."
The village chief immediately called the villagers, and when they heard Tang Xiaoqing's words, they directly vetoed it without waiting for him to finish.
"No need to discuss, we don't agree with your decision."
"Yes, it's dangerous to divert water."
"yes, we're not going to let you do that."
Tang Xiaoqing's idea was vetoed, no matter what he said, the villagers just didn't agree, and some even stood up to block it.
In the end, Tang Xiaoqing's persuasion failed, so he could only find another way.
She came to the field again, and the path beside her climbed up the hillside and looked down at the fields that had not yet been cleared.
"It seems that there is no other way but to dig the water source and divert the water by yourself."
If you want to dig up water, you have to find the source. It was easier said than done for him, when she was so worried.
Inadvertently remembered that there was still a system, Tang Xiaoqing opened the system interface to look for it, but did not find the relevant props.
I accidentally saw a lottery function on the screen, and the skills of the lottery included "Feng Shui, treasure appreciation, and medical skills." ”
"System, what if I draw the skills I have?" Tang Xiaoqing looked at those three, two skills she already had, if she drew a duplicate wouldn't it be a loss.
The cold voice of the system came, "If you draw the skills you have, you can directly upgrade to one level, for example, the primary level of treasure appreciation can be upgraded to the intermediate level." ”
Tang Xiaoqing nodded after listening to the system's explanation, in fact, he wanted to have a third skill, which was Feng Shui.
Because finding a water source is something related to feng shui, I have some expectations in my heart, and I excitedly click on the lottery.
Tang Xiaoqing watched the screen scroll, and kept shouting in his heart: "Feng Shui, Feng Shui." It must be Feng Shui. ”
I don't know if the system has a relationship with him, and in the end, she really drew feng shui.
"Oh my God, I'm not dreaming, am I really pumping?" Tang Xiaoqing jumped up excitedly, and the joy in his eyes couldn't be hidden.
In this way, it can use the dragon point of feng shui to find the water eye and lead the water to the field, then all the problems will be solved, and there is no need to worry about it again.
"Congratulations to the host, the lottery won the feng shui skill, is it open now?"
"On." Tang Xiaoqing was a little impatient and nodded without hesitation.
A white light shot out from the system page, shining on Tang Xiaoqing's body, wrapping her whole person tightly.
The warm breath entered her body, instantly spreading to her limbs, and her body seemed to have been washed, and it felt very comfortable, and something seemed to pour into her soul and invade her brain.
After a stick of incense, the light gradually dissipated, Tang Xiaoqing opened her closed eyes, and her hand seemed to have an inexplicable power, and there was some knowledge that she didn't know.
"The lottery uses a revenge value of 2000 to reward a Feng Shui book." As soon as the system's voice sounded, a book was teleported from the system page and handed it to her.
Tang Xiaoqing took it with both hands and briefly looked at the contents inside, which were all extremely complex knowledge and terrain.
After looking at the dim sky, Tang Xiaoqing decided to go home first and then read the book, so as not to make the family anxious.
Back at Tang's house, Huang Ailian looked behind her, and saw that she was the only one coming back, and wondered: "Why is it only you, Qi Mu?" ”
Tang Xiaoqing was stunned, and after this reminder, he suddenly remembered that Qi Mu left, "He's gone, let me let you know." ”
"Gone?" Huang Ailian still didn't react, after all, they had been with Qi Mu for so long, and they never thought that one day he would leave.
"He doesn't belong here, and it's normal for him to leave." He said this in his mouth, but he was still a little reluctant in his heart.
Huang Ailian lowered her head and said in an extremely slight voice: "What about you?" ”
"What's wrong with me?" Tang Xiaoqing was a little confused by her mother's sudden words, and she didn't understand what she wanted to express.
"You don't belong here, are you going to leave?" Huang Ailian already regarded her as her own daughter, and it was very uncomfortable to think that she was leaving.
Tang Xiaoqing saw her mother's slightly red eyes, and quickly explained: "No, I will never leave you." ”
What she is most afraid of is tears, and she doesn't know how to comfort her mother, so she can only blindly promise that she will never leave.
At dinner, the Tang family all sat together and saw the empty space next to them and asked, "Why hasn't Qi Mu come yet?" ”
This guy used to eat very actively, why was he so late today?
Tang Xiaoqing and Huang Ailian glanced at each other and said, "Qi Mu has already left, and he may not come back in the future." ”
When the Tang family heard this, they were a little embarrassed, after all, they had been together for so long, they had become accustomed to the existence of Qi Mu, and the sudden departure made them a little uncomfortable.
Tang Xiaoqing picked up the chopsticks, took two mouthfuls of rice into his mouth and swallowed, "Today I went to the village chief and asked him to gather the people in the village to discuss the matter of water diversion." ”
"The result?" Tang Sikui asked expectantly.
"The village chief and the people in the village disagreed, and they were very opposed to the water diversion." Tang Xiaoqing didn't expect things to be like this.
The villagers and the village chief are no longer jealous of them, they are simply hatred, and they want to skin them, tear them apart and eat them in their mouths.
"Why don't you agree?" The food in Tang Wanqiang's mouth instantly became unfragrant.
Tang Erjie followed and asked, "Yes, isn't it good to divert water?" ”
Tang Xiaoqing smiled indifferently, "Those villagers and village chiefs have deep opinions about us, even if there are some small interests, it is not enough for them to waver and prevent us from doing well." ”
The villagers and the village chief were waiting to see him lively, so they deliberately did not bring water.
When Tang Sikui heard this, his temper came up again, and he immediately said angrily: "These people are just deceiving people too much, if they are serious, they will not dare to talk nonsense anymore." ”
"Nonsense, it's not like a fight about everything can be solved." Tang Wanqiang scolded sharply.
If they can't bring in water, ten acres of fertile land will be wasted, and rice will not be planted, and no other seeds will be confirmed.
"Dad, these people are obviously bullying our family, can't they reason with them?" Tang Sikui was unwilling to be bullied all the time.
"Hey." Tang Wanqiang let out a long sigh, even if he went to theorize, he would never let go of his obsession and the village chief.
Tang Xiaoqing saw the dejected appearance of the family, and said with a smile: "You don't need to go to those people to theorize anything, I have my own way to find water from the mountain." ”
