018 On the way into the mountain
From the eyes of the old shopkeeper, it can be seen that he dotes on Xu Zixin, and the person who can be sent to the city as the shopkeeper of the rice shop must be the person who is actually valued in the master's family, and his status must not be too low.
"Is Young Master Xu from Feng Shui City?"
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and then thought that this was not a secret, so he said: "The Xu family started in Feng Shui City, and it is only the third generation of the Shaodong family, and it has not yet walked out of Feng Shui City. The power is too thin, but many of the shops in Feng Shui City belong to the Xu family. ”
Qu Xiaoqi pursed his lips and looked at Young Master Sun.
If it weren't for Xu Zixin's wealth, the reason why the shopkeeper could spend a lot of money to hire people from the rivers and lakes and Ah Qing was this Young Master Sun.
But who is this Young Master Sun? Children of county officials?
Even if Qu Xiaoqi has only been in this world for a few days, he has a similar understanding of the situation here, and he is still the official with the greatest power.
No matter what the people want to do, they have to bribe some officials to back it up.
"The ugly girl still wants to fly on the branch and become a phoenix, a woman with watery poplars." The young man sneered.
Qu Xiaoqi really didn't know where he offended this person, making him so hostile to him, and if she continued to deal with this young man, it would make it difficult for the shopkeeper.
I still have eight taels of silver in the hands of the shopkeeper, so it's better to settle down.
Seeing Qu Xiaoqi's quail appearance, the young man was even more angry, how could the one in the country fall in love with such a good-for-nothing person?
The next part of the road is stop-and-go, which is really like a tour of the mountains and rivers.
This mountain faces the sun, and Qu Xiaoqi knew that this was not the environment where wild ginseng grows, so he didn't pay attention to the surrounding vegetation.
"There's too much grass ahead, I'm going to break a stick." Ren Yao opened his mouth and looked around, and it was obvious that he had some difficulty touching the branches, so he had to retreat to see if there were any fallen branches.
Qu Xiaoqi motioned for Ah Qing to break a few branches, if he let Ren Yao go away by himself, it would be a little dangerous.
The young man's eyes were fixed on Ren Yao, but he had no intention of stepping forward to go together.
Qu Xiaoqi had long noticed that the people here developed relatively late, and the teenager would only be taller at the age of nineteen, so the sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy Lang was only about one meter six or five.
Xiang Xu Zixin's figure of nearly 1.7 meters is very tall among his peers.
Qu Xiaoqi's body has not had menstruation for fifteen years, and in modern times, people believe that she is ten years old.
There is no sign that the chest is going to develop, on the other hand, Qu Rui, the body is well developed, looking at the figure, it is estimated that even the menstrual affairs have come.
My body is really completely malnourished, and I don't know how long it will take to recover.
Ah Qing handed over a bundle of branches to Qu Xiaoqi as if offering a treasure, Qu Xiaoqi only took one, and let him send the rest to others.
Ah Qing can now understand the general meaning of his words, and rarely makes mistakes.
It's only been a few days together, and this kind of learning ability makes Qu Xiaoqi a little jealous, even if his brain is fully developed, he can't really compare with a young child.
Qu Xiaoqi is going to be literate with Ah Qing after she goes back this time, and she has a hard time recognizing traditional Chinese characters, and there is no way to teach Ah Qing with her little knowledge.
"Why are you holding this thing?" Xu Zi'an played with the branches in his hand, his smallest, but he was already as tall as him.
"Hit the grass and scare the snake."
Xu Zi'an pouted, "I want to catch snakes and play." ”
"No."
The table hill was so high that by noon a group of people had climbed only halfway up the mountain.
At this moment, the line of sight is much wider, and the flat land below the mountain can be seen clearly, surrounded by the unique fragrance of plants and trees.
Qu Xiaoqi's mood is much more relaxed, no wonder many people like to climb mountains and camp, it feels really good.
The shopkeeper's food, snacks and water are only enough for so many people to eat.
Qu Xiaoqi didn't touch the fifteen eggs, and left them to fry them in the evening, which could be regarded as a hearty dinner.
Fortunately, the shopkeeper brought a lot of dry food, although it was harder, it was enough to eat for three days.
Xu Zi'an may have eaten enough rice, and when he saw the dry and hard steamed buns, he yelled to eat the steamed buns.
Xu Zixin persuaded him several times, but he didn't listen, so he had to hand over the steamed buns to Xu Zi'an.
Xu Zi'an held the steamed bun and bit it down, but the steamed bun did not bite open, but bit his own mouthful of blood.
"Wow!" The child was directly scared and cried, which made Xu Zixin panic.
"Let my brother see where the bleeding is."
"Wow! Yes! Xu Zi'an made even more noise.
Qu Xiaoqi shook his head secretly, the bear child is not good for being pampered, and when he grows up, he will be an angry young man.
The shopkeeper also stepped forward and coaxed quietly, but it didn't work at all.
The young man was annoyed, and scolded Xu Zi'an: "Don't cry! ”
Xu Zi'an was taken aback, looked at the young man with a sob, and then continued to cry loudly, louder than before.
Sun Yongwei and Ren Yao didn't say anything, Xu Zixin smiled at them embarrassedly, and regretted bringing Xu Zi'an to come.
If you disturb the young master's interest, I am afraid that what you want to do will be much more difficult.
"Young master, this ...... the little young master" The shopkeeper was so anxious that he walked back and forth, watching the little young master's blood flow out of his mouth, and there was no way at all.
Qu Xiaoqi and Ah Qing started a big sweep with no one next to her, these are all rare delicacies for her.
I sighed in my heart that the chef here is amazing, and the food made with so little seasoning is so delicious, although it is much worse than modern times.
Those people in the rivers and lakes also unceremoniously sat around the food box and began to feast.
Young Master Sun and Ren Yao, who were watching, were also hungry, so they also picked up the dishes and chopsticks and ate them.
Xu Zixin breathed a sigh of relief, it would be best if Young Master Sun didn't care, he could put his mind on coaxing his younger brother, the little devil.
Xu Zi'an was protected by them so well, where did he suffer such a serious injury and shed so much blood?
Soon the stomach was full, and everything was eaten.
"The next time you eat dry food, remember to soak it in water." Qu Xiaoqi said, squatting in front of Xu Zi'an, who was still crying, and slapped a hand directly on Xu Zi'an's head.
Xu Zi'an was in pain, and the crying sound that had just been much smaller was about to be amplified again, Qu Xiaoqi directly pinched the little guy's chin and was forced to let him open his mouth.
Only then did I see that it was just knocking out a front tooth, and when it entered the tooth replacement stage, it could still grow out.
"The baby who has not been weaned, go home and cry to your mother." Qu Xiaoqi knows that what children at this stage want most is to be regarded as adults by the people around them, which is why he is eager to prove that his brother doesn't know much.
Then he was just like his brother, an adult.
Sure enough, Xu Zi'an pursed his lips and muttered vaguely, "It's not." ”
Then he stubbornly wiped away his tears, pursed his mouth, and looked angry.
This appearance made the corners of Qu Xiaoqi's mouth rise, he chuckled, and quipped: "The little guy should be sent to fight as a soldier, squeamish like a girl." ”
"I'm not like a girl!"
Qu Xiaoqi completely ignored Xu Zi'an's protest and looked around.
Along the way, she didn't see what she wanted, and she encountered some small rabbits and pheasants or something. It's just that they are so fast that no one can catch them. Naturally, this is what Qu Xiaoqi thinks.
It seems that the trap hunt she had thought before worked, and there were indeed some small animals living on the edge of the mountain.
"There's a water source over there." One of the men in black led the way, and he clearly knew how to survive in the mountains.
A group of people walked in that direction, they didn't have much water with them, and they really needed to rest at night where there was a water source.
Xu Zi'an gritted his teeth and walked forward, his little body was shaking, obviously unable to walk.
Qu Xiaoqi took off the back basket on Ah Qing's body and said, "You hold him." ”
"I don't want it!" Xu Zi'an resisted violently, and his little face was full of stubbornness.
"You're going to drag us down."
'Gollum ......'
It seems that the little guy is hungry, and at noon he has not eaten any food because he has knocked out a tooth, and he has not even drunk water.
It's really a strong child, and I don't know who I'm like.
"Shopkeeper, bring me a hydration bag."
The water bag was sewn from animal skin, and Qu Xiaoqi looked at it for a long time when he got it.
After taking the water bag, Qu Xiaoqi directly handed it to Xu Zi'an, who was held on his back by Ah Qingkang.
"Drink some water."
"I don't want you to fake your kindness! You this! This watery poplar woman! ”
Xu Zi'an didn't know what water-based poplar flowers meant, he just learned it from the young man.
Looking at Qu Xiaoqiqing's pale face for a while, the young man rarely had some changes in Xu Zi'an.
The enemy of the enemy is the posture of a friend.
Xu Zixin scolded: "Xu Zi'an! What are you saying vulgar words! ”
"Read more of the books of the sages and learn more from your brother." Qu Xiaoqi glanced at Xu Zi'an, and then didn't pay attention to him, but the water bag had already been handed over to Ah Qing.
Ah Qing took it with a bad face, grabbed Xu Zi'an's back and lifted him up, opened the water bag and poured water directly into Xu Zi'an's mouth.
"Ahem, ahem." Xu Zi'an's face was red from choking on water, and a lot of water flowed from his nostrils and chin.
How could Xu Zixin let Ah Qing treat his younger brother like this, and hurriedly took Xu Zi'an back from Ah Qing, with a little dissatisfaction on his face.
"No matter how much you grind, you won't be able to find a water source while it's dark." Ren Yao said.
Xu Zixin had no choice but to take Xu Zi'an with him, and it didn't take long for him to gasp for breath, and his cheeks began to sweat.
admired Ah Qing in his heart, Ah Qing can lift Xu Zi'an with one hand!
It seems that this Xu Zi'an is not only the favorite of his father, but even this brother is extremely fond of him.
The young man hummed a small tune at the back of the line, obviously in a good mood.
'Goo-goo-goo! Suddenly a pheasant appeared in the grass, and tried to get away from the danger with great speed, but the young man just picked up a stone and threw it, and the pheasant fell to the ground.
