Chapter Eighty-Four: The Fawn
After the master left, Xiao Qi and Hua Xi'er were not lazy, they got up every morning, and ran to the mountain together to practice light skills and swordsmanship, and on the way down the mountain, Xiao Qi would catch some wild things by the way to exchange money for the family to pay off debts.
Hua Xi'er has improved a lot, and she is now going up and down the mountain with ease, and the speed is getting faster and faster.
Every day, the two of them would go to the small cabin where the master used to live, and there were many trees on the side of the cabin, and the two would jump from one tree to another.
Xiao Qi stood on a tall tree and looked condescendingly at Hua Xi'er standing on another low tree, "Aunt Xi, you are really getting more and more powerful." ”
Hua Xi'er stroked her forehead, "You stand on such a high place and praise me, it makes me feel that I don't have a sense of accomplishment at all." ”
On this day, the two came back from the cabin where the master lived, walked along the stream, and met a small sika deer, which was grazing by the river, as if hearing movement, the pointed ears shook a few times, Hua Xier didn't need Xiao Qi's help this time, she made a decisive attack and hugged the sika deer in a few jumps.
"Great, great, I finally caught the sika deer, quick, Xiao Qi, let's carry it down the mountain."
Hua Xi'er doesn't have much strength, and it is naturally more appropriate for Xiao Qi to do this kind of thing by holding the fawn down the mountain, Xiao Qi is very happy, they have met a few sika deer on the mountain, but she is still in close contact with the deer for the first time.
When the two of them arrived at the big willow tree at the entrance of the village, Erdan shouted, "Come and see, Xiao Qi caught a beautiful little animal." ”
And the women and the children gathered around.
"Xiao Qi is really powerful, this is a deer."
"Ah, there are white spots on my body, it's so beautiful."
Xiao Qi, "This is a sika deer." ”
Peach Blossom Niang, "Yo, Xiao Qi of the Dahe family is really amazing, I learned a few words from the Hua family, and I can name the deer with a crepe, and I can also give a sika deer-" Pear Blossom Niang was about to say something extremely ugly, and when she saw her son's stinky duck eggs giving her eyes, she changed her words, "-It sounds weird and good." ”
Peach Blossom Niang's words actually have a little compliment, how rare it is, you must know that she sees people and dogs.
A group of people followed Xiao Qihua Xi'er to Hua's house in an uproar.
The children simply love small animals and come to the deer.
The adults have their own thoughts, Peach Blossom Girl, "Miss Xi'er, what does this sika deer eat?" ”
The other women on the side also listened carefully with their ears open, and if they ate grass like rabbits, it meant that they could let the children of the family cut the grass and sell it to the flower family to make money.
Hua Xi'er, "I don't know yet. ”
Saying that, he took the deer in Xiao Qi's arms, "Quick, Xiao Qi, let your father and my good nephew Ah Fu come over to help, make a wooden fence in my backyard, and I want to put the deer in it to raise." ”
Xiao Qi ran away quickly.
Peach Blossom Niang came up, "Miss Xi'er, how much does it cost to make a wooden fence, and my son can also come over to help." ”
Seeing this, the other women also came over and said, "Yes, yes, our family can also come and help." ”
Granny Hua walked over and said, "Our family's carpentry work is contracted to Dahe, and besides, things like wooden fences are very fast to make, and we don't need so many people to help." ”
Liu Dahe limped and came over with Ah Fu to make a wooden fence with tools.
Hua Xi'er pulled Xiao Qi over and asked, "Xiao Qi, it's been so long, why is your father's leg still not good, have you seen it in Lang Zhong in the town?" ”
Xiao Qi, "Lang Zhong in the town said that my father's feet will be like this in the future, my father is diligent, and now his legs are like this, and he often goes outside to pick up work." ”
"I've saved some silver in the past few days, Aunt Xi, I want to buy my father a donkey for the first walk, and I will pay back your family's money slowly in the future."
Hua Xi'er glared at Xiao Qi, "What about money, my mother said it, my life was saved by your father." ”
"That's not good, Aunt Xi, didn't you teach me before? Brothers settle accounts. ”
Xiao Qi's eyes flashed with anticipation, "That hundred-year-old Lang Zhong in Xiao Zhao Village may be able to heal my father's feet." Aunt Xi, before leaving, the master said that I can come and go freely anywhere in Phoenix Mountain, and I want to go to the cliff on the other side of Xiaozhao Village to pick fairy grass. ”
Hua Xi'er, "You should try it, as long as you work hard, no matter whether your father's leg can be cured or not, there will not be too many regrets." ”
"Aunt Xi, why didn't you tell the people in the village that the deer eats grass just now?"
"Xiao Qi, do you remember the rabbits you used to raise, if I say eat grass, then the children in the village will come to sell grass, and the family will be in a mess, my mother will definitely let me take the deer away."
"Don't worry, Xiao Qi, I've already thought about it, we have to go to the mountains to practice every day, and when the time comes, we'll come back with a basket and cut some grass by the way."
Hua Xi'er took Xiao Qi's hand, "Let's go, let's go and help make a wooden fence together." ”
