Zhou Jingang shouted like thunder in the house: "Big niece, come in and eat pecans!" Before the words fell, the man had already walked out and said with a smile: "I'll show you a trick." Throwing a walnut into the air, drawing a knife and cutting it down, there was a "click" sound, and the walnut fell to the ground in two halves.

Chen Xi bent down to pick it up, and shouted loudly in surprise: "What a fast knife technique!" You see, no more, no less, just split in half! Looking at Zhou Jingang's eyes, there was immediately a little more sincere admiration and respect.

Zhou Jingang stood with his knife and smiled honestly: "I haven't practiced for a long time, and I'm rusty." ”

Punish someone as a warning to others. Can Hu Poziyan not understand this meaning? At that moment, he slapped Hu Sanlai on the head who was still staring at An Yi, and scolded: "Where did you pour yellow soup from the things that are not angry?" If it's okay, go and lie down! ”

"I'm not drunk." Hu Sanlai smiled indifferently, stepped forward to snatch the chicken from his father's hand, and scolded: "Old thing, I can't clean up a chicken in half a day, I'll come!" ”

An Yi smiled at Mrs. Hu a little stiffly and said, "Auntie, where do I live?" Is there hot water? I want to wash. ”

Mrs. Hu hurriedly said, "Yes." Girl, you live in the East House, and the other guests live in the West House. I'll bring you hot water. ”

An Yi walked to the door, turned her head to look at Hu Sanlai, and saw that Hu Sanlai was also peeking at her, so she gently curled the corners of her lips at Hu Sanlai invisibly, took the hot water handed by Hu Sanlai and closed the door.

The smell of food came in through the crack in the door, and An Yi mechanically scrubbed her body vigorously, until the water was cold, she stopped and slowly changed her dress. I didn't go out after packing up, I sat at the table and thought through the plan again, and made sure that there were no major mistakes before I went out with a smile.

After the meal, Zhou Jingang pulled Lao Cai Tou and Old Man Hu to chat, trying his best to inquire about the hidden mountain road. An Yi asked Mrs. Hu for a pine torch to put in the yard for lighting, and squatted by the well to wash the changed clothes. Chen Zhishan was so tired that his eyelids fought, so he forced himself to talk to her for a while, took a medicine bag containing an insect repellent snake and gave it to her, and ran to lie down and Meng Zhougong.

After washing the last piece of clothing, An Yi picked up the basin and stood in the east of the courtyard looking around. Hu Sanlai suddenly came out of the darkness, smiled and held a rope and salivated and said, "Miss An, but you are looking for this?" ”

An Yi curled the corners of her lips slightly with a smile, raised a pair of eyes with eyes as red as lacquer, slightly upturned at the corners of her eyes, and seven points of agility and three points of peach blossoms, and looked at Hu Sanlai silently and did not speak.

Such a style at such a young age! Rao is Hu Sanlai felt that he had seen and tasted the beauty of wealthy ladies, and he also saw that his short legs trembled, and he tied the rope for An Yi more and more diligently: "I heard Old Man Cai say that you want to collect some medicinal herbs and mountain delicacies?" ”

An Yi lowered her head to dry her clothes, and said "um" unreasonably.

Hu Sanlai stood aside with his hands on his sleeves, and unscrupulously looked at her carefully from top to bottom, the thin and tall figure has revealed the girl's slender curves, the face is white and thin, and the facial features are delicate and beautiful, the most rare thing is the style hidden between the eyebrows and eyes. Thinking of this, Hu Sanlai's crotch couldn't help but feel hot, and he stepped forward and whispered, "I heard that you are looking for a five-clawed golden dragon?" ”

This dog thing, girls who are not yet adults dare to make up their minds, and they are really scum. An Yi held back her nausea, and said lightly without raising her head: "Do you know?" ”

"That medicine is hard to find! Otherwise, wouldn't all the people in this weed get rich? Hu Sanlai lowered his voice and got closer and closer to An Yi: "But little girl, you are lucky, I just happen to know one." I thought that when it grew up, I would pick it for money to buy a good daughter-in-law, but if you wanted it, I took you to pick it. ”

An Yi took two steps back and sneered: "Anyone can brag, don't bully me when I'm young." ”

"You don't believe me?" Hu Sanlai turned around and saw that there was no one else in the courtyard, and Zhou Jingang, who seemed to be the most fierce, was still talking to Old Man Cai and the others in the house, so he boldly took two steps forward and said with a smile: "Is it true or false, tomorrow little girl, will you go with your brother to take a look?" ”

An Yi glanced at him and said with a smile: "Okay, if you brag, I will shame you." ”

Hu Sanlai was so happy that he immediately jumped up happily to help An Yi dry his clothes, but An Yi smiled again and said with a cold face: "Be respectful." My uncle is in the house, but you're not afraid of his sword? ”

"Why is it disrespectful for me to help you dry your clothes?" Hu Sanlai secretly scolded the little goblin, retreated stupidly, and whispered without giving up: "There is only one five-clawed golden dragon, can you have enough of it?" Your surname is An, your uncle's surname is Zhou, and the white-faced boy is surnamed Chen, you are not a family, both of them have helpers, you are a girl and you are still young, aren't you afraid that they will trick you? Seeing that An Yi was silent, he said tentatively: "I don't think you look like the daughter of a poor family, you must have encountered difficulties, otherwise you wouldn't have run so far into this deep mountain and old forest to find medicine." Even if they don't cheat you, I'm afraid that the money you get won't be able to solve your urgent needs? ”

An Yi looked at him coldly, and tried every means to instigate and seduc, and only when he said that his mouth was dry, did he say: "My uncle of the Zhou family doesn't allow me to walk alone." ”

Hu Sanlai instigated: "He is afraid that you will benefit from carrying him behind his back." ”

An Yi pretended to hesitate again and again before saying, "Then tomorrow after we go up the mountain, you can quietly follow and act at the opportunity." I won't let you run away in vain, I'll give you five taels of silver to spend, and don't tell anyone else. ”

"Okay." Hu Sanlai saw that she was fooled so easily, and he scratched his ears and cheeks with joy. An Yi looked at his back coldly, her eyes were as sharp as a knife, she turned around and went back to the room, turned off the light, took out the sharp iron drill from her arms, and grinded it on a flat stone at the foot of the wall.

Early the next morning, at the invitation of Zhou Jingang, Old Man Hu invited the oldest and most capable old hunter in the village to accompany An Yi and others to find medicine and find a way. When we arrived in front of a dense forest where the black pressure could not be suppressed, Old Man Hu said: "This is it, we collect medicines and mountain treasures every day in this forest." The forest is dense, guests should not walk around, it is not a place to play if you get lost or encounter wild beasts. ”

Zhou Jingang handed a bamboo whistle to An Yi and advised: "I will leave Lu Zhi to accompany you, I will go forward to take a look, and blow this bamboo whistle when you are going down the mountain or if you encounter something." After saying that, he took Tang Li and followed the old Orion to explore the way ahead.

"There are so many herbs here!" Chen Zhishan excitedly pulled An Yi to recognize the medicine: "This is Hei Chai Hu, Yuanzhi ......"

An Yi casually agreed, looked into the distance from time to time, and when she saw Hu Sanlai's sneaky figure looming in the forest, she was relieved, and happily dug up the medicine with Chen Zhishan. Old man Hu saw that he was having a good time, so he dug up the medicine around himself.

Over there, Hu Sanlai took advantage of the unpreparedness and quietly threw a stone to hit An Yi, and when he saw An Yi turning around, he pointed to the east and motioned her to go over there. An Yi waited quietly for a while, and when she saw that everyone hadn't noticed, she said, "I'll go and make it easier." ”
