Chapter Seventy-Six: Five Visits to the Thatched House
On the fifth day, early in the morning, Mrs. Zhao killed two chickens, plucked the chicken feathers, and processed the internal organs, and sent them to Xiaoqi's house in a pot.
Niu Shi looked at the two clean and beautiful chickens, and praised Mrs. Zhao, "You always do things neatly, look how clean this chicken feather is." ”
Mrs. Zhao smiled on her face: "I'm sorry, I have to hurry back to take care of Miss, and I'll chat with you another day." ”
Xiao Qi was lighting the fire in the stove, and after listening to Mrs. Zhao's words, he asked with concern, "What's wrong with Aunt Xi." ”
"Miss caught a cold in the rain yesterday and coughed all night, so I'll go back first." Mrs. Zhao said and left.
After eating, Niu saw that Xiao Qi's hair was a little messy, so he helped her recomb it, and inserted the hairpin with ruby that Xiao Qi dug up from digging wild vegetables into Xiao Qi's head, looked at it, and was very satisfied, "This little ruby looks very festive." ”
Xiao Qi, "Mother, I'm still young, you should wear this hairpin." ”
Liu Dahe said beside him: "Xiao Qi, you should keep this hairpin yourself in the future, this hairpin is related to you." ”
Afraid that the vegetables would be cold, Xiao Qi hurriedly carried the jar containing the chicken stewed mushrooms to the Hua family.
After arriving at Hua's house, Xiao Qi took a small bowl from the kitchen, scooped a bowl of soup out and put it on Hua Xi'er's bedside, "Aunt Xi, you taste it, today's chicken tastes very good." ”
Hua Xi'er's voice was hoarse: "I'm cold, I don't want to faint." ”
Hua Xi'er instructed Xiao Qi to wrap the jar of chicken with a small quilt, and struggled to get up and go out with Xiao Qi, but was stopped by Mrs. Zhao.
Mrs. Zhao wiped her tears: "Miss can't go out today no matter what." ”
Hua Xi'er said to Xiao Qi: "It seems that I can't go out today, Xiao Qi, when you see the old man Wuwei, say more good things to coax him, and you must let him accept you as an apprentice." ”
Xiao Qi nodded vigorously, "Aunt Xi, I won't let you down." ”
Xiao Qi carefully carried the jar to the mountains.
The old man Wuwei looked behind Xiao Qi and asked, "Why are you the only one here today?" ”
Xiao Qi: "Master, do you think I like my aunt, my aunt was drenched in the rain when she went down the mountain yesterday, and she was very sick, and she couldn't get up from bed today." ”
"Such a weak body still wants to worship me as a teacher."
Xiao Qi: "Master, my Aunt Xi arranged for you to kill chicken stew early in the morning, these mushrooms were also found by Aunt Xi, and when I came over, she also asked me to say hello to the master on her behalf." ”
As he spoke, Xiao Qi opened the jar, took the dishes and chopsticks and put them in front of the old man Wuwei.
The old man Wuwei was very surprised when he saw the hairpin on Xiao Qi's head: "Where did this hairpin on your head come from?" ”
"I dug it when I was digging for wild vegetables."
"Take it down and show it to me."
Xiao Qi took off the hairpin and handed it to the old man Wuwei, the hairpin was thick at one end and thin at the end, the ruby of the hairpin head was shining, the hairpin was engraved with shallow patterns, and if you looked closely, you could find that it was carved as a phoenix, and the old man Wuwei held the hairpin in both hands and muttered to himself: "Like, really like." ”
"We Feitian faction created thousands of years, once only accepted a female apprentice, it is said that hundreds of years ago, the female apprentice is also surnamed Liu, she is very talented, and soon practiced peerless martial arts, the master intends to let her take over as the next head, but she insists on walking the rivers and lakes, punishing evil and promoting good, the people respect her as the Liu woman, and now there is still a portrait of her in the division."
"At that time, when my Great Xia Dynasty was worried about internal and external troubles, and was in turmoil, the Liu family woman used the power of one person to eliminate external troubles for the country, and later was jealous by the Son of Heaven, which affected the lives of thousands of people in her entire clan, and then she was incognito and disappeared."
Xiao Qi listened very seriously, and after the old man Wuwei finished speaking, he looked at Xiao Qi for a while, and then returned the hairpin to Xiao Qi.
"I'm used to being called a master by the two of you every day, okay, when you go back, you will tell her that I will accept you two apprentices, anyway, one is accepted, and two are also accepted, and that one mouth is much sweeter than yours, and it will make people happy."
Xiao Qi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked: "Master, I heard me right, did you really agree to accept me and Aunt Xi as apprentices?" ”
The old man Wuwei took out a book from the house and handed it to Xiao Qi, "The above moves are quite simple, you learn them first, and when the little girl Xi'er recovers, we will come together to apprentice, and then I will teach you the mental formula." ”
Xiao Qi saw that the word Flying Sword was written on the cover, and it was full of pictures, which could be understood at a glance.
Xiao Qi, "Master, I don't have a sword. ”
"It's not easy, you just go to the side and break a branch as a sword."
