Chapter 20: Qi Wu

The next day, Sang Yang accompanied Qi Luo all the way to Humble Zhou.

Several carriages and two teams of cavalry, all the way south.

Sang Yang is dressed in black horses, with black hair tied up, and his complexion is like jade, and his phoenix eyes are rippling.

Follow the carriage step by step, and the girl in the carriage probes from time to time to talk to the young man in black clothes on the black horse.

After Yucheng, the next stop is Biancheng, which is about 400 miles away from Yucheng.

There are no other big towns and cities along the way, all of which are country roads.

Lunch with dry food and water.

There is a winding stream along the way, which winds down the official road.

At noon, the convoy stopped by the stream for a short rest.

"Shi Zhao, how many people do you take to look around, but there are hares and pheasants?" The boy dismounted and commanded.

The willow leaves sway gently in the wind, and in the clear and translucent stream, a few small fish and shrimp swim from time to time.

The English duchess, looking for a shady place under the tree, still holding her notebook.

Under the shade of the tree, a girl in a blue dress squatted by the stream, rolled up her sleeves, and fiddled with the stream with her jade-white arms.

The young man in Xuanyi stood aside with a smile.

………………………

After a while, Sixi brought a bundle of dry firewood.

According to Qiu Yue's command, a temporary stove was built with stones.

Shi Zhao and others also found 5 hares and 4 pheasants.

"I'm coming!" Qiu Yue took the ingredients with great interest.

It's a pity that I didn't bring a flaming flower box.

After a while, a copper pot was set up by the stream, and Qiuyue first fried a few small fish and shrimp fished out of the river in the pot and boiled the fish and shrimp soup.

I picked up the white straw mushrooms and boiled the soup to a milky white.

Then put on the freshly picked green wild vegetables, the white, white and green look quite appetizing.

In another copper pot, the hare meat was stewed, and Shi Zhao helped cut the hare into small pieces, sprinkled with red peppers and Qiuyue's homemade sauce, and made the braised rabbit meat, which was so fragrant that it made people swallow their tongues.

The pheasants were smeared with salt and spices, covered in mud and simmered in the fire.

After a while, the fragrance wafted out.

Crack open the dirt to reveal the tender yellow chicken.

Shi Zhao and Sixi swallowed their saliva in unison!

You can't eat such delicious food with you!

Qiu Yue tore a few chicken legs, took out a few golden cakes, and handed them to Qi Luo and the British duchess.

Shi Zhao and Sixi looked at the black cake in their hands.

Why don't you feel like you can't talk about it!

"Ziyu, give!"

Qi Luo stretched out his hand and handed Sang Yang a piece of cake and a chicken leg.

The boy smiled and took it.

Shi Zhao and Sixi have been staring at Qiuyue.

Qiu Yue rolled her eyes, turned back to the carriage, took out a cloth bag, and threw it to Sixi.

Fortunately, I was prepared, otherwise I wouldn't have eaten enough.

Sixi took it, and couldn't help but smile, a big bag full of golden cakes.

A group of people sat by the stream, and ate the fragrant wild vegetable soup, spicy rabbit meat, and fragrant chicken, and laughed happily.

"Click!" There was a soft sound in the distance.

"Who?" Sang Yang gave Shi Zhao a look, and Shi Zhao immediately flew over.

From behind a tree a few hundred meters away, a black, tattered child was dragged out.

The child was skinny and skinny, and his clothes were almost torn to shreds, and he looked no more than five or six years old.

The whole body is dirty, and it is almost impossible to see the appearance.

"Little beggar?" This child reminded Qi Luo of an abandoned child who had been taken in by the orphanage before.

"Kid, do you want to eat?"

The child took a step back a little cringe, staring straight at the black eyes, and the fragrant chicken was called.

"Sister Fairy, the baked food is so fragrant, I didn't mean to peek at it." Xiao Wu couldn't help but swallow again.

"Qiuyue, you give him a bowl of wild vegetable soup first, he looks like he hasn't eaten for a long time, you give him less rabbit meat and chicken, he can't eat too much at once."

If you haven't eaten for a long time, you can't overeat all at once.

"Kid, can I wash it for you?" Chang Yue squatted down.

The child shrank back a little in fear, but he still felt Qi Luo's kindness and nodded gently.

"I can wash it myself." ”

"Chang Yue, you help him prepare a handkerchief and soaphorn, and find another set of clothes."

After washing, the child revealed a yellow-skinned but delicate face.

All the clothes he brought were adults, and even if he was looking for the smallest one, it was too big to wear on his body.

The child devoured the food that Qiuyue had prepared for him.

Qi Luo touched his head.

"Do you still want to eat it? But you've been hungry for too long, you can't eat too much at once, so I'll let you take it home? ”

The girl paused and said, "Do you still have a home?" ”

The child's eyes showed sadness, and he shook his head gently.

Looking at the beautiful girl who feeds him like a fairy.

"Sister Fairy, I don't have a family anymore, my parents were washed away when the flood came last year."

"They put me in a wooden basin and I survived, and I've been living alone for a year."

The girl looked sad when she heard this.

"How did you get by this year?"

"I was by the river, picking up some small fish, shrimp, wild vegetables and mushrooms to eat."

"How old are you, and do you have a name?"

"I'm eight years old, my parents call me Xiaowu, and I can't remember what my surname is." Xiao Wu lowered his head and pinched the corner of his clothes.

"And where do you usually live?"

"My house was washed away when the flood came, and I lived in a tree hole over there."

"Have you been there by yourself all the time?"

"I sometimes go to the village and help the villagers with some work and change some food or clothing. However, last year's village was hit by a famine due to floods, and there was no food. Many children in the village are starving to death, and the villagers have no extra food to give me. ”

"Little Wu, would you like to go with me?" The girl raised her dark eyes.

"Sister Fairy, I'm willing to go together, I can do a lot of work, and I won't eat a lot." Xiao Wu glanced at the pot stewed with rabbit meat, for fear that others would think that he had eaten too much.

"Then your name is Qi Wu, okay?"

Xiao Wu nodded vigorously.

"Luoluo, you and your daughters, it is inconvenient to bring a child, it is better to let Xiao Wu follow me first, and when I return to the capital, I will send Xiao Wu back to the British Mansion."

The girl nodded.

Xiao Wu looked up, a beautiful brother like a fairy.

"Thank you, Brother Fairy, for taking it in."

Sixi said: "You can call the young general." ”

Xiao Wu immediately knelt down and kowtowed.

"Little Five, thank you Sister Fairy, thank you to the young general for taking me in."

"Xiao Wu, this is the county lord, not a fairy." Qiu Yue's voice came from afar.

At this time, it was past noon, and the group had already driven the carriage and horses, and the car was getting farther and farther away, and the next trip was Bian Cheng.
