Hua Xi'er will reach the age of Ji Lu in a few years, because she doesn't have to do farm work, her skin looks whiter than ordinary village girls, and she can dress up, and she looks quite outstanding.

She is the only girl in Liujia Village who wears silk and satin, and her clothes are constantly varied all year round, and some of the clothes are brought back by the old man Hua from far away, and they can't be bought in the town.

It can be said that Hua Xi'er leads the fashion trend in the village, and the girls in the village are very envious of Hua Xi'er, far away from her but can't help but mention her and pay attention to her, Pear Blossom often mentions with Xiao Qi what new styles of beautiful clothes Hua Xi'er is wearing, what kind of new hairstyle she has, and she looks envious.

The day after the old man Hua invited Xiao Qi to go to Hua's house, Xiao Qi went to Hua's house with a small wooden plank.

When Xiao Qi entered, Hua Xi'er was sitting in the courtyard playing the piano, and Xiao Qi hurriedly put down the small wooden board and applauded, which was very powerful.

Hua Xi'er looked at Xiao Qi happily: "How is it, it sounds very festive." ”

Xiao Qi nodded very seriously: "It sounds like the howl of a pig when it is killed, it is strange and festive, everyone should like to eat pork." ”

Hua Xi'er stroked her forehead, she played so seriously, this girl actually said that it was like the sound of killing a pig.

instructed Mrs. Zhao to put away the piano, Hua Xi'er led Xiao Qi to the study, three bows and arrows were hung on the wall of the study, Hua Xi'er picked up the smallest of them and handed it to Xiao Qi: "Look, this is what my father bought for me." ”

Xiao Qi took the bow and groped carefully with wide eyes, with a look of longing in his eyes.

Hua Xi'er smiled: "I knew you would like this bow, today my father set off for the south, he said that when he comes back, he will bring you a bow that is exactly the same as this one." ”

Hua Xi'er pointed to the bow and arrow that was slightly larger in the middle: "This is a one-stone bow, which my father usually uses." ”

The two watched and groped for a while, and Hua Xi'er stretched out her hand to point to the third bow, which was also the largest and thickest bow in the study: "This is my father's collection of three-stone bows, I heard that it is suitable for warriors." ”

Xiao Qi stepped forward to pick up the largest bow, she didn't know why, she felt very kind when she saw this big bow.

Hua Xi'er: "Look at the way you hold it in your hand, it's really enviable." However, your arms are not long enough, and it may take a few years to use them. ”

After watching the bow and arrow, Hua Xi'er took out a stack of paper and put pen and ink on the desk: "I taught you to write your name before, you write it to me first, and then I'll teach you the three-character scripture first." "This desk was made by Old Man Hua when he asked Liu Dahe to help him.

Xiao Qi studied very seriously, and before he knew it, it was time for dinner, Xiao Qi said goodbye to Hua Xi'er, Hua Xi'er took out a stack of papers and handed it to her: "Bring these back to my nephew Ah Fu to paint, I see that he likes to paint very much,"

Xiao Qi: "My brother is scribbling, Aunt Xi, paper is too expensive." ”

Hua Xi'er pointed to a small wooden board hanging on the wall: "Do you remember, this is when my mother gave the rabbit away, I was sad and sad, you forced it to me, I think Ah Fu's nephew painted very well." Xiao Qi looked at the wall, and the rabbit was painted on the small wooden board, and his expression was cute.

Hua Xi'er: "You take these papers to him to use, and come back to me when you run out." Xiao Qi, don't be restrained at my house, don't come over with a small wooden board in the future, my father has prepared a lot of paper for you. My mother used to say that I was sick when I was a child, and that I was able to survive thanks to your father who sent me to the town to see a doctor. ”

Xiao Qi walked out of the study with the paper, and came to Granny Hua, who greeted Xiao Qi: "Let's go back after eating at my house in the evening." ”

Xiao Qi: "Mother-in-law, in the morning my father said that he might come back later today, and I have to go back early to see if there is anything I need to do." ”

Granny Hua brought a bowl of fried shrimp with green peppers from the stove: "My mother-in-law Zhao's craftsmanship is also good, you can take it home and taste it." ”

Xiao Qi took the bowl: "Thank you, mother-in-law, I'll send the bowl back tomorrow." ”

Granny Hua smiled and waved her hand: "Go, be careful on the road, don't hit the bowl." ”

Granny Hua was originally the daughter of Xiucai, and when she was young, she followed the old man Hua to many places, and she was well-informed, and often told stories to the women and children in the village, some of which were quoted from the classics, and some of which were seen and heard when she was young, which was particularly interesting.

Xiao Qi returned home and saw Ah Fu burning the fire in the stove, and handed the paper in his hand to Ah Fu, Ah Fu's eyes widened: "Is this really for me?" ”

After getting Xiao Qi's definite answer, Ah Fu rushed to the house with the paper.

After the meal was ready, Niu shouted left and right, and Ah Fu came out, holding a paper in his hand, and many black marks on his face looked like a flower cat.

Niu: "Go wash your face and eat, you know about scribbling all day long, I have already told your father, and I will let you follow him to learn carpentry in a few days." ”

Ten days later, Mr. Hua came back from the south and began to teach the two simple fist and foot kung fu.

Hua Xi'er was a little melancholy: "I've been learning kung fu for several years, talent is really important, Xiao Qi, I admit that I lost to you." ”

After lunch, Old Man Hua was going to the town to run errands, and before leaving, he handed the newly bought bow to Xiao Qi: "This is specially bought for you, and I will teach you archery tomorrow morning." ”

Xiao Qi took the bow with both hands, very happy: "Thank you, Grandpa Hua." ”

Hua Xi'er: "I see that you can't wait to learn archery, let's go, I'll take you to my backyard to practice first." ”

The two men walked and talked as they took their bows.

Hua Xi'er: "Xiao Qi, do you know why I work so hard to learn kung fu?" Because I want to be a heroine who punishes evil and promotes good to save all people from fire and water, as I told you last time, the flying hero is my role model. ”

Xiao Qi: "Aunt Xi, I have already thought about it, I want to be a heroine with you." ”

The courtyard of the Hua family is not very large, and the two of them reached the backyard in a few steps, and there are three wooden shelves in the backyard, each of which has a straw man on it, and the position of the straw man's heart is painted red.

Xiao Qi raised the bow and arrow, and Hua Xi'er helped her adjust her posture: "Open your feet almost the same distance as your shoulders, put your shoulders flat, your eyes, arrows and targets in three points and one line, aim with one eye, inhale and then release the arrow." ”

Xiao Qi released the first arrow in his life, hitting the red bull's-eye.

Hua Xi'er's face was full of question marks: "Are you sure you are shooting arrows for the first time?" ”

Xiao Qi nodded, and Hua Xi'er was a little unconvinced: "How can anyone shoot arrows so well for the first time?" Is this shit luck? No, you do it all over again, let me see if you can go shit luck every time? ”

Xiao Qi shot the second and third arrows......

Hua Xi'er was stunned: "It's really more popular than people, I've been practicing for two or three years, and it's not as good as what you just learned, God is really unfair." ”

Xiao Qi made a shushing gesture: "Aunt Xi, be careful to be heard by God, let me tell you, my archery may be accurate because of good eyes, last time I took my brother to Xiaozhao Village to see a doctor, standing in the courtyard of the doctor's house, I can clearly see the grass on the cliff wall far away, but a few of them can't see it, the hundred-year-old doctor said that I am a god-given eye." ”

Hua Xi'er's eyes widened: "Really? You're so lucky to have such powerful eyes, and I haven't seen anyone in my 100s yet, so remember to take me to see it next time. ”
