Chapter 24: Jokes
Well, it smells of sweat, but he won't let go, I broke free and pushed him away: "What's wrong with you?" ā
"IāI thought you were gone......" The husband had never been so nervous, and he looked like a frightened child at this time.
"How could I go!"
The husband wanted to speak and stopped, but laughed embarrassedly.
"You heartless girl, Jiuchen is a mortal, of course I'm afraid that you will leave, Qiu'er, you are definitely not a mortal!" Uncle Xu floated over at some point and said with a smile.
"Am I an immortal?" I laughed, "It doesn't seem to be the same, you see how good I am!" ā
I raised the wooden barrels in my hands as if I were ostentatious: "Ordinary people, how can I have this strength!" ā
The husband was not happy, and he took it down, but in his hands, it was obvious that his hands were straight, and he had taken some strength, so I stepped forward and said, "Husband, you rest, I'll come!" ā
"I'm not tired!" The husband looked at Uncle Xu viciously, and then said to me, "My lady can't do this, and what kind of immortal are you, don't listen to those nonsense!" ā
I nodded, but Uncle Xu's words also have some truth, I remember that after my husband saw my sword kill, he never left me, maybe, I am an amnesiac immortal?
Thinking of this, I laughed unconsciously, that's easy, just change what you want in the future! I learned from Uncle Xu's appearance, and stretched out my hand and pointed to the ground: "Change flowers!" ā
But nothing...... Am I an amnesiac immortal who is just waiting to regain my memories in the future?
"Poof" The husband laughed, and in order not to let me find out, he deliberately lowered his head.
When he arrived at Zhuangzi, the husband distributed the mung bean soup to everyone, and specially said: "This is my lady's craft, everyone try it!" ā
Seeing everyone drinking happily, I couldn't help but be complacent, but my husband turned his head and grabbed my ear, and when I pulled it, I exaggeratedly exclaimed, "It hurts!" ā
"Don't do it next time!" My husband picked up my hand and kept touching it, "You marry me He Jiuchen, you want to keep your fingers from touching the spring water, how can you do these rough jobs!" ā
He sounded harsh, I pouted, and my husband grabbed my pouting mouth and pinched it, and it became a duck's beak, flattened, and it must be very ugly to see him smile so happily!
There are many people to build Zhuangzi quickly, but a few days of hard work, the wall has been built, the house inside has also been built, this house is very beautiful, blue bricks and red tiles, it is really better than before, after all, with silver, the materials can also be bought better.
The next is to open up the wasteland, Zhuangzi is changed in the wasteland, how to plant the land to clean up, hoe the weeds, turn over the land, this work is much easier than before, it will be done in three days, the husband said, the wasteland has never grown grain, the land is very strong, after a few days to plant some vegetables and fruits, it will be able to sell well.
After all, the three hundred acres of Zhuangzi are really a bit big for us, and these alone have already cost five hundred taels of silver, and then we have to buy some vegetables and flowers, after all, it is really too late to sow seeds at this time...... So I didn't dare to make a big repair, I could only make it simpler.
Now there is nothing in the Zhuangzi, and it is bare everywhere at a glance, and it looks a little desolate, but the location here is better, there is a small stream behind the Zhuangzi, and there is a high mountain after a hundred and ten steps of the stream, and it can be cooler in summer.
Fortunately, with the help of Uncle Xu, it was dark and there was no one around, he moved everything to his new home with a few swishs, and we were still halfway there, he looked anxious and said: "Qiu'er, it seems that you can't do it either, I have high hopes for you in vain." ā
I was not allowed to speak, he flew over with a rough hand and a collar, and flew over with us, I was startled, familiar things became smaller little by little, and my eyes slowly opened up, but Uncle Xu's trembling hand kept shaking around, so scared that I closed my eyes, I was afraid, Uncle Xu kept chattering: "Oh, He Jiuchen, why are you so fat, I can't help it, don't blame me for falling down!" ā
My husband shook my hand visibly, and said, "Concentrate!" ā
Uncle Xu sighed: "Xiao Qiu'er, I see that you are thin and skinny, like a bone, why is it so heavy, you should eat less!" ā
"Hey, if I can't catch it, who will I lose you two?" Uncle Xu said heartlessly, and deliberately said angrily, "I can't bear to throw Xiao Qiu'er, or throw He Jiuchen's stinky boy, always against me!" ā
My husband and I had a very tacit understanding and kept quiet, but I couldn't stop Uncle Xu, he said to himself, he didn't care, and said as if he was scaring us: "Oops, I'm so tired, I feel like my arm is going to break, I have to throw it down!" ā
Suddenly, my husband and I fell a lot directly, I almost screamed, and suddenly I was caught by Uncle Xu again, and said with a smile: "Hehe, I'm playing with you!" ā
"You're ......!" At this time, I didn't want to fall into a meatloaf, so I swallowed back the curse and shouted, "Let us go!" Let's go on our own! ā
But Uncle Xu has a big heart, although he has all kinds of disgust on his lips, he just won't let us down, and said with a smile: "I'm a ghost, but you are cowards!" ā
As he spoke, he stopped teasing us, and his speed slowed down, and it felt so good to fly in the sky, and the stars became bigger, as if he could touch them with his hand, and there was a trace of majesty in his ears......
"It's here!" Uncle Xu said.
We have been standing firmly in the Zhuangzi, the Zhuangzi is pitch black, I am a little apprehensive when I hold my husband's hand, such a big Zhuangzi can have a lot of people, otherwise there will be space.
My husband took my hand and walked step by step to the newly built room, it was still a little cold, and my husband took a stove and installed some charcoal to grill his hands, which was much warmer.
The night that had been calm suddenly sounded a "whoosh", and I shrank into my husband's arms: "Is this the voice of a wolf?" ā
Fujun nodded: "It's just that I never heard of wolves here, I'll go out and have a look." ā
I grabbed my husband's shirt: "Don't go, take a look tomorrow morning, just close the door tightly." ā
The sky is getting darker and darker, and the sound outside is getting louder and louder, at this time, Uncle Xu is in another house, I was afraid that he would be noisy, so I deliberately let him stay away, and now I regret it a little......
I thought it was okay, but there was a sound of chickens crowing, screaming for a long time, so hard to eat my chicken? I got up, took my husband's hand and walked out of the room, seeing my husband turn around and take a wooden stick, he walked in front and protected me with his whole body, looking at his back, I laughed softly.
As far as the eye can see, there is only a place of chicken feathers, it seems that a chicken thief touched it in the middle of the night, and in the afterglow, a figure suddenly flashed, and when he paid attention, the black shadow had been drowned in the night.
At the end of the village here, because of inconvenience, few people come, only Li Niangzi's house and Tian Erniu, think about it, only Tian Erniu, these days can always see him staring at Zhuangzi, I am afraid that there is no good intention.
I pulled my husband and said, "Let's go to Tian Erniu and ask for an explanation, what are you doing pretending to be a ghost in the middle of the night!" ā
The husband nodded: "If Tian Erniu is a cripple, he can't run fast, let's go to his house to block him, catch a person and get the stolen goods." ā
Although it was not far away, I didn't walk for a long time in the dark night, I was already sleepy and tired, and my husband didn't say a word to carry me on his back, but turned around and went home.
"Let's sleep first, but a few chickens, just now I was also in the atmosphere, now it's okay, I can't lose a big one because of a small one, tired of the lady!" My husband said a little out of breath behind my back.
I was very comfortable on my husband's back, but I was unwilling: "Then what if he doesn't admit it then?" ā
"There's Old Man Xu, let him take a look!" The husband laughed.
"Hmm......" I said, my eyelids began to droop heavily, and when I woke up again, I heard Uncle Xu shouting.
It was already dawn, and I rubbed my eyes and heard him and her husband talking outside the room.
"Jiuchen, can I be considered to have caught a ready-made one, this is your family?" Uncle Xu said with a smile.
But there was the laughter of the husband: "How can it be so small?" It's good that you old man caught it and showed it to me, otherwise it would have been a joke. ā
I pushed the door open: "What's the joke?" ā
When I saw Uncle Xu holding a half-grown chick in his hand, I immediately understood my husband's words, this is not my family, fortunately I didn't go yesterday, otherwise Tian Erniu would have humiliated us, could it be that Mrs. Li's family stole it?
I'm a little puzzled, if Mrs. Li wants it, tell me, it's okay to take one, as for sneaking around? And Mrs. Li can't even look down on farming, how can she do the thing of stealing chickens and touching dogs?
Tian Erniu's voice came from his ears: "Who stole my chicken!" ā
looked at Uncle Xu again and shuddered: "I'll return it first." ā
I think it is also, there is a wall around Zhuangzi, a cripple is not easy to turn over, and the figure yesterday ran extremely fast, not like a cripple at all, didn't someone else do it? By chance? The more I thought about it, the more confused I became, and when my husband saw my tangled appearance, he smiled and said, "Forget it, we still have a lot of work today, don't delay things for these two chickens." ā
"Lady, you rest first, I'll go fetch some water."
As soon as my husband said this, I noticed that there was not even a well in this village, but fortunately it was close to the stream behind, otherwise I would have to borrow water first.
After a moment of effort, the husband actually fetched a bucket full of water, so much water can be fetched from the small stream? The shallow stream can only reach the foot and neck, and it takes some effort to fetch a bucket of water......
"Qiu'er, there is a mountain spring on the opposite side of the stream, I will go to the side of the mountain to pick up the water, you taste it, it's delicious!"
My husband scooped me a bowl of water, handed it to my mouth, and said, "It's sweet and delicious!" ā
I took the bowl and put the water in my mouth, it was cold and slightly sweet, it was really delicious.
