Chapter Seventy-Three: A Second Look at the Thatched House

On the second day, Hua Xi'er got up early in the morning, ran to Xiao Qi's house, and pulled Xiao Qi up from the bed.

Xiao Qi rubbed his sleepy eyes: "Aunt Xi, morning." ”

Then Xiao Qi's eyes suddenly widened in surprise, "Hey, Aunt Xi, why are your eyes dark?" Didn't sleep well? ”

Hua Xi'er held a portrait in her hand, "Xiao Qi, look, this is the flying hero I painted myself, don't you look like it?" I didn't sleep all night last night, I just wanted to come and talk to you earlier, Xiaoqi, let me tell you, I have admired the flying hero for many years......"

"I actually met the flying hero himself yesterday, which is really something I never dreamed of."

"Xiao Qi, I've always wanted to help you find a master to be your master, but I didn't expect to meet a hidden master like the old man Wuwei so soon. If the old man Wuwei takes you as an apprentice, you will definitely become the most powerful woman, it's wonderful to think about......"

"Xiao Qi, you have to work hard yourself, you learn martial arts well, and when the time comes, you will fight more big prey, and you don't have to worry about silver anymore."

Hua Xi'er said a lot, Xiao Qi hurriedly jumped up from the bed when she heard the word Yinzi, "Aunt Xi is right, it is indeed a good thing to find a hidden master to be a master, let's go, we will go to the mountains to apprentice now." ”

Hua Xi'er: "You go wash up first, I'll go see what your mother made in the morning, and then we can take some to the mountains, your food tastes very good, maybe you can get the joy of the old man Wuwei." ”

"As the saying goes, the old man who eats people is short-handed, and the eater is soft-mouthed, so he agrees to accept you as an apprentice after eating the food we brought over."

Niu saw Hua Xi'er running into his yard early in the morning, so he deliberately took out a few more eggs, spread some egg cakes, and made small buns filled with leeks and eggs to entertain her.

After Xiao Qi got up from the bed, Hua Xi'er ran to the stove to rob Ah Fu's job.

Niu's was very distressed, Hua Xi'er couldn't burn the fire, the fire was too strong for a while, and it was too small for a while, causing her to fry several egg cakes.

Niu was embarrassed to accuse Hua Xi'er, so he had to teach Hua Xi'er how to light the fire while spreading egg cakes.

After Xiao Qi finished washing and went into the stove, he saw that Hua Xi'er's face was stained with a lot of pot ashes, like a flower cat.

Xiao Qi smiled: "Aunt Xi, you have a lot of ashes on your face!" Take out your little bronze mirror and take a look at it, and I'll go and wash your face in a basin of water." ”

Hua Xi'er took out the small bronze mirror and looked into the mirror, her face was really stained with a lot of pot ash, so she said to Xiao Qi: "No, no, this ash is very good, I don't wash it, it's good to make a little bitter trick to move the old man Wuwei." ”

When breakfast was served, Hua Xi'er tasted a small bun with leeks and eggs and thought it was delicious, so she attached it to Xiao Qi's ear and said, "This is delicious, the old man Wuwei should like it." ”

Xiao Qi, "Not necessarily, some people don't like to eat leeks, but Sister Lihua on the other side doesn't like to eat leeks." ”

Hua Xi'er smiled and rubbed Xiao Qi's hair: "Why did you pour cold water on me early in the morning, even if the old man Wuwei doesn't like leek buns, don't we still have egg cakes?" The omelets made by your mother are also delicious, so we quickly wrapped them all up and sent them to the mountains. ”

Xiao Qi: "Aunt Xi, you messed up my hair." ”

Hua Xi'er took out a delicate wooden comb from her body, "Come on, I'll help you comb it again." ”

"Aunt Xi, you are so stinky and beautiful, you always carry a comb and a bronze mirror with you."

"When you grow up, maybe you'll be more stinky and beautiful than me."

Hua Xi'er quickly helped Xiao Qi comb two small buns and circled around Xiao Qi, "Yes, it looks like Nezha." ”

Xiao Qi turned out a very delicate square basket with a lid from the utility room, which was woven by Liu Dahe with rattan, which was very simple and beautiful.

Hua Xi'er was very particular, brought a fine white muslin from the Hua family, carefully wrapped the egg cake and leek egg buns and put them in a small basket, and the two of them set off together, and when they arrived at the mountain, they followed the mark they made yesterday and successfully found the hut covered with thatch.

The old man Wuwei was meditating in front of the house, smelled the aroma and twitched his nose, then stood up and snatched the basket in Xiao Qi's hand, picked up the small buns filled with leeks and eggs, and ate them.

"It's been more than a month, and today I finally had a decent meal."

The old man Wuwei looked a little excited, "This bun is really delicious, I am probably hungry in this mountain, and I actually think that this bun is even better than the first floor in the capital." ”

The old man Wuwei accidentally choked while eating, "cough, cough, cough, cough......"

Xiao Qi and Hua Xi'er hurriedly stepped forward to help the old man pat Wuwei on the back.

When the old man Wuwei was relieved, Hua Xi'er put on her face and said to the old man Wuwei flatteringly: "Master, how about it, this bun is delicious, I will help make it." ”

"Last time, you two roasted wild boar meat was as unpalatable as it was, with your craftsmanship, do you think I would believe that this bun was made by you?"

Hua Xi'er: "Master, I helped light the fire." ”

Xiao Qi also said: "I helped fetch water, and I fetched the water for my mother and noodles from the well." ”

How can today's children look so arrogant? A little thing is said as if it were a great credit.

Wuwei old man: "Don't be a master first, I didn't promise to accept you as a teacher." ”

Hua Xi'er: "Sooner or later, I will agree." ”

Xiao Qi smiled, "Got it, master, we won't give up, we will work harder in the future." ”

"What do you know?" The old man Wuwei shook his head, a child with perseverance is indeed commendable, but he really doesn't want to accept female apprentices.

The two helped the old man Wuwei clean up the house and prepared to leave.

Wuwei old man: "I don't have to come over tomorrow, it's a waste of effort to come, I won't accept a girl as an apprentice." ”

Although the words of the old man Wuwei were not pleasant, the expression on his face was very kind.

Xiao Qi and Hua Xi'er were not discouraged at all, and they smiled and waved goodbye to the old man Wuwei.

The old man Wuwei sighed at their backs: "Look at these two children stupidly. ”

On the way down the mountain, Xiao Qi and Hua Xi'er caught two fat rabbits.

Hua Xi'er: "Xiao Qi, let me tell you, you must not give up, the more difficult it is, the more accomplished it will be." ”

Xiao Qi, "I know, Aunt Xi, you told me before that failure is the mother of success." ”

Hua Xi'er reached out and touched the two small hair bags on Xiao Qi's head, "Good niece, there is a future." ”

Xiao Qi carried the rabbit and passed by the place where the women in the village gathered next to the big willow tree at the entrance of Liujia Village, and the Dawang family greeted him warmly: "This rabbit is really fat, my kid is going to be engaged tomorrow, and he is worried about having no meat and vegetables, so it is better to sell it to me." ”

Xiao Qi: "A rabbit in the town can be sold for about fifty yuan, these two rabbits are fatter, and we don't add money, can we just pay fifty yuan each?" ”

"Okay, okay, of course, I'll take the rabbit home and take the money to your house." The king left happily with the rabbit.
