Chapter 17: Guidance
"General, where is this, you are a bureaucrat, I am a flat-headed commoner, where does the little woman dare to have an opinion on the general."
Qian Qianqian scooped the meat soup with a wooden spoon and handed it to Xiao Mohan, while saying insincere polite words.
Xiao Mohan frowned, and asked very seriously, "I didn't see that Miss Qian had such an awareness, what do you think?" ”
She is not a person from this time and space, is it possible that he still expects her to be as virtuous as those village women.
After feeding the last bite neatly, Qian Qianqian didn't feel red and heartbeat during the whole process, but felt that Xiao Mohan's arms couldn't move freely, like a disabled student who had been fed when he was teaching before.
"If you don't take care of it, please ask the general to do a lot of Haihan."
It's easy to serve the eldest master, and when she thinks that the family has to contribute most of the food to him, Qian Qianqian has a headache.
When she went back to the kitchen to brush the pots and dishes, Mother Qian came, and she hurriedly took the posture of taking pots and pans to vent her anger, and her face was much gentler.
"Qianqian..." didn't come over with her little brother, she helped put Qian Qianqian's washed bowl on the stove.
Seeing that she wanted to speak and stopped, Qian Qianqian only pretended that she didn't see through it, and continued to wash the dishes by herself.
"Mother has something to tell you, listen to your words, the general saved your life last night, but why did I look at you so snub him?"
Although Qian's mother has never read any books, she used to take a fancy to Qian Qianqian's father who married in as a scholar.
Qian Qianqian was a little silent, and finally responded to Qian's mother's words, "That's what you said." ”
's mother is kind in the end, but Qian Qianqian only cares about how this big family lives.
After wiping her hands with a rag and coming out of the kitchen, Qian Qianqian estimated that the time was almost up, so she took the blunt axe at home and walked out the back door.
After a while, a small figure followed, and Qian Qianqian turned around to see that it was her younger brother Qian Hui.
Qian Hui's eyes lit up, and he curled his little tongue and followed out, looking at the axe in her hand.
"Sister, what are you going to buy again?"
"You know how to eat!" Qian Qianqian stretched out her hand and poked his head, and tried the weight of the axe again, "Don't worry, didn't my sister say that I will never let a few of you go hungry with my sister again, but our family is not very safe, I have to do something to prevent thieves." ”
Recalling what he heard in the courtyard this morning, Qian Hui nodded and waved his small fist indignantly.
"That's right! Who will steal and eat, fight! ”
Qian Qianqian smiled and touched his little head, "Let's go, go with my sister to chop bamboo." ”
There is a dense forest in the back mountain, and the green bamboos have long withered in winter, leaving some old earthy brown bamboos with lush vitality, which are still standing.
Qian Qianqian swung her axe, and when the bamboo pole was half broken, Qian Hui jumped and overwhelmed the rickety bamboo pole.
In this way, more than a dozen have been piled up in half an hour.
Racing in her mind, Qian Qianqian recalled that she had made a fence with her grandfather when she was a child, and that thing was probably eight or nine.
In the middle of the day, when it was almost noon, the two sisters and brothers went back and forth to pick up the bamboo that had been split into wide strips.
Qian Fen hurriedly ran to greet Qian Xuan with him, "Sister, what are you doing?" ”
"Sister anti-thief!"
After helping all morning, Qian Hui was still interested, but Qian Fen was secretly anxious.
"Sister, the general said it was time for lunch."
Qian Qianqian frowned, she didn't shout that she was hungry when she was working, but the person who was lying on the bed and doing nothing was aroused.
"Let him wait."
Qian Qianqian and Qian Hui continued to walk out of the cellar with bamboo sticks, Qian Fen was a little hesitant, she didn't dare to reply like this.
The two younger sisters have always been honest, not to mention that the officials crushed people to death, how dare they snub Xiao Mohan.
Qian Qianqian patted the ash in her palm on her trouser leg, and could only go back to the kitchen to cook first.
Stir-fried pork slices with garlic, one meat and three vegetables, with a few small eyes straight when served.
"You guys are stained with the general's light, eat."
Xiao Mohan frowned, and the chopsticks that he had just pinched were put down again, and Qian Mu glared at Qian Qianqian helplessly, and could only smile and play a round.
"Don't be surprised, general, try our family's craftsmanship, although our family is a little thinner, but there is a good daughter, you can try it!"
Xiao Mo smiled coldly, "Miss Qian is indeed different from others, General Ben, she will not worry about her." ”
After eating in a hurry, Qian Fen stayed to wash the dishes, and Qian Qianqian led Qian Hui and Qian Xuan to the cellar to make a fence.
The half-split bamboo strips were woven together like straw mats, and sharpened bamboo barbs were inserted into them, and a whole circle was laid around the mouth of the cellar, and then covered with loess.
Qian Qianqian clapped her hands and told her two younger siblings with satisfaction.
"It's not safe here, try not to come here to play."
"Yes!"
Qian Xuan and Qian Hui sang in unison, and after making a bamboo fence trap together, they were like allies who had fought together, Qian Hui happily held Qian Xuan's little hand and swayed.
Qian Qianqian opened the bamboo fence and entered the cellar, took a coarse porcelain bowl to fill out some pickles, and then opened the bamboo fence and walked out, the process was like flying eaves and walking on the wall.
Not long after, there was one more person in the yard, and Qian Qianqian almost fell on the fence without standing firmly, but was grabbed by a strong arm on the shoulder.
The danger was lifted in an instant, and the two little ones laughed as they watched their sister and the general get in close contact.
"Something like you won't do anything, and it might even hurt you."
Xiao Mohan's point-to-point comment, when it comes to traps and mechanisms, he is the best at it, but Qian Qianqian can't open his mouth to him.
"The people's girl is naturally an axe in front of the general."
Seeing her hard mouth, Xiao Mohan touched her stomach warmed by food, and I have to say that her cooking skills are really good, and it tastes better than the rice cooked by her mother in the city.
Although he was still holding his stance, he still walked forward and used his feet to peel off some of the loess.
Tsai carefully examined the surrounding terrain before making his point.
"The environment here is empty, and Miss Qian can use the diagonal wall as a fulcrum, cut the bamboo into bamboo arrows, and then use ropes to implicate the stones, densely spread in the cellar mouth and the ventilation window, only these two places are needed."
"It's as simple as that?" Qian Qianqian was suspicious, "But where can bamboo arrows hurt people." ”
Xiao Mohan shook his head, "If you don't feel at ease, just tie a few copper bells to the rope, or... Just get a dog. ”
Qian Qianqian wanted to raise it, but the dog couldn't get out of the space.
"Then thank you for the general's advice."
Hastily saluted him, Qian Qianqian led his younger brothers and sisters to start sharpening bamboo arrows, and the man leaned against the wall with his arms in his arms, and his lazy appearance was really unbeatable.
