Xia Li said, "My younger brother wants to study well, and in the future, he will take the test and support the family." ”

If Xia Ju can stay in this family all the time, it is better to let him study hard and earn fame. I haven't seen how many years Xiucai's father has been dead, and his Xiucai aura still blesses her to this day, making Xia Lao Hangao look at her several times.

Xia Ju hurriedly promised, "Well, I must study hard." ”

After dark, after the family washed up, Xia went back to his house to rest, and Xia Li took Xia Juhe and Dangdang back to her bedroom.

Xia Ju has not slept in the same bed with Xia Li since he recovered from his illness, and Xia is not allowed. moved a small bamboo couch in Xia's house to Xia Li's room, Xia Ju slept on the couch, and bought him a small gauze tent.

On the first night of sleeping apart, Xia Ju also shed tears.

From the day Xia Ju lived in Xia Li's house, Dangdang also completely relied on this house. It felt that the little brother could live in the sister's house, and he was the younger sister, so wouldn't it be more deserving of it.

Xia Li is also up to it.

When you know how to go to the backyard to solve the problem, clean it every day, ventilate the house every day, and there is no smell.

However, taking these two little things to sleep every day, Xia Li is still not used to it. Thinking about it, when Xia Ju really became his family, he would arrange for him to live with it.

Going to bed so early, Xia Li was very unaccustomed to it, the key was the heat, so he took a shower and sweated again. Xia's has been more economical recently, and he is not even willing to order more oil lamps. Xia Li knew that she was insecure and afraid that she would spend too much money, so she had to let her go first.

When Xia Ju and Dangdang fell asleep, Xia Li quietly got up and put on embroidered shoes. Her movements were very light, but she still woke up Dangdang. When he stood up, Xia Li let it lightly, and then took it out with him and walked to the backyard.

She sat on a small stool in the backyard and squatted next to her.

The stars were shining, the clear light was leaking like water, and the small courtyard was covered with silver frost. Xi Xi night breeze surrounded her, and then saw the shadows in the distance, listening to the insects chirping, which calmed her restless heart.

Sanhua Mountain under the starry sky is mysterious, dark and solemn. Her gaze first wandered on the top of Sanhua Mountain behind Xiaowa Village, and under the dense branches and leaves, she didn't know what wild things were wandering in between. Sometimes a little gray or black peeks out of the gap, and you can see an owl......

On top of a reed, there is a body of light moving, it is a firefly, it is very beautiful!

Xia Li was happy, looked at the fireflies for a while, and then moved his gaze farther away, the mountain peak was south of Shiban Village. Suddenly, Xia Li saw a large snake with a green background and golden flowers crawling out of the woods, sliding over a small piece of bare gravel, and crawling into the grass in front of him.

Xia Li had been afraid of that thing since he was a child, so he was so frightened that he quickly looked away.

If this big snake is really the gold-plated python they said by the shopkeeper, it should be in the deep mountains, why did it come to the front mountain?

Suddenly, Xia Li remembered the mysterious missing piglet, could it be that this big snake came down the mountain and climbed into the farmhouse to steal the piglet? It's really possible! I thought again, it just stole the piglet, what if it climbed down the mountain and went into the house to eat the child one day?

She looked at the big snake again, it was gliding slowly, its belly bulging about twenty centimeters wide and thirty centimeters long, I don't know if the little pig had not fully digested, or if it had swallowed some new food.

That position, not far from the top of the mountain, she would never dare to go there to fight snakes by herself at this time, and she would not dare to take it with her. You can't take other hunters to fight, and you can't say that you have the ability of "clairvoyance".

If it climbs the mountain behind Xiaowa Village, it will be the closest to the foot of the mountain.

There was a big snake entrenched not far from the door of the house, what a terrible thing.

Xia Li was anxious and afraid, and even breathed louder.

When she noticed Xia Li's uneasiness, she also became vigilant, and rubbed her leg with her head.

Xia Li whispered to it, "We have to find a way to shoot that thing to death...... "We can't beat it, we can only shoot it with arrows."

She observed late at night, and saw that the snake seemed to be climbing to the top of the mountain, and then returned to the house.

As soon as she sat on the bed, she heard Xia Ju shout in a daze, "Sister, pee." ”

After a period of time, as long as it wasn't raining, she would take Dangdang to the backyard every night to observe the situation in the mountains, but she didn't see the big snake again.

Xia Shan came back three days later, on the sixth day of the new year. He did not go back to his house first, but went to Xia Lijia's house. Moreover, instead of walking on foot or riding an ox cart as usual, he came back on a tall horse.

As soon as he entered Xiaowa Village, he slowed down his horse and walked proudly through the village, from east to west, and from west to east. aroused the envy of the villagers, and asked him if he had been promoted again.

When Xia Shan, who was wearing a brand-new military uniform and leading a tall horse, suddenly appeared at the gate, Xia Li was taken aback.

She said happily, "The third uncle came back on a big horse, did he really become an official?" ”

Xia Shan laughed, "Not yet." ”

Xia Li happily invited him in, just in time to go into the mountain to play. Since Xia Ju came to the house, Dangdang went out to play for the first time today.

Xia Shan brought the horse in and tied it to the doorpost, and said with flying eyebrows, "The third uncle came to Tongning County with General Ye today. We set out from the camp at midnight, and we had a meal together on the way, and I went directly back to the village, and they went to the county seat. ”

Xiangshan Mansion is 200 miles away from Xiaowa Village, and Xia Shan used to go home for a night on the way, but this time he arrived in more than four hours on horseback.

Xia Li poured him a bowl of warm sugar water and patted his ass, "The third uncle has also established a relationship with General Ye, it's really not simple." ”

Xia Shi also greeted him with a smile and asked, "Why did you come back after such a long time?" ”

Xia Shan drank the water in the bowl in one go, took the handkerchief handed by Xia Li and wiped his face, before he said, "We went into the mountains to fight bandits last month...... he stopped, waved his hand boldly, and said, "You women don't understand those things." I'm here to tell you that General Ye heard Liu Gongzi say that the Mao Xuewang made by Lili was delicious, hehe, he really wanted to eat it. It just so happened that he was going to Jianghan Mansion with Liu Gongzi on a business trip, and he was staying in the county seat today, and he wanted to ask Lili to go to Yixiang Restaurant at noon tomorrow to cook Mao Xuewang for him, and then teach him a full-time cook, and then go to Jianghan Mansion after eating. ”

After speaking, he looked at Xia Li with a blank eye, which means that your uncle's future is entrusted to you.

Xia Li is incredible, where is there such a strange thing, in order to eat the legendary Mao Xuewang, let someone he doesn't know go to the county seat to make it for him. A big man, his mouth is too greedy.
