"I don't want to say that although we are defeated, we will not fail, but our plan is not foolproof, but it is careful and will not fail." Ximo's expression was still firm.

Autumn was impressed.

"I hope."

"It's not a wish, it's going to come true."

Akimoru also sat down. At this moment, her heart was also tumbling with excitement and irrepressible emotions. Books are hated less when they are used. Listening to Ximo's words, she felt even more empty in her stomach.

"Qiuwen only wishes that the people will live and work in peace and contentment, that every family will have enough food and clothing, that there will be no hunger and cold, and that there will be no frozen bones on the roadside." Qiu Wen was abused, because she has been at the bottom, so she has experienced more joys and sorrows in the world than others.

"Yes."

Ximo stepped forward and held her hand tightly.

Qiu Wen used a flat tone to tell how he was broken by the snow geese from Panlong Temple, got into the car of Renyazi, and arrived at this Xiushan. Ximo frowned tightly: "This person is hateful, extremely hateful." Her crimes no longer allow her to live. ”

Truly. Snow Goose has several crimes on her body, which are stacked and can already be executed. Ximo only sighed, she shouldn't have saved her in the Plum Blossom Nunnery in the first place, she didn't expect that there would be such a trouble.

"It seems that I am soft-hearted, and this is my fault. In the future, you still have to 'watch people put the dishes'. "From the encounter of Autumn Pattern, Ximo can see many things. Human teeth are rampant, public security is poor, and the narrow concept of the people of Xiushan Mountain is patriarchal, and so on.

A glimpse of the whole leopard.

Ximo had already made a decision in his heart.

The state official Xue Rencun was also confused, taking a concubine, so arrogant and reckless, he didn't ask about the origin at all. Such a person should be dismissed.

Although Ximo has a plan, he is not suitable to come forward in this matter. He didn't want to trouble King Ningbei either. The king of Ningbei was riddled with all things. Ximo has another way.

As for Na Ya Po and those accomplices, Ximo can easily find them.

Autumn pattern is the marigold mother among the mountain people of Xiushan. What she wants to do, naturally no one dares to question it. It's a handy. She smiled and asked, "I guess you're here to borrow money." ”

"Not bad."

"Eat first."

"Okay."

Qiu Wen called Ah Bang and told him to go to Zhang Luo for dinner.

Abang didn't dare to slack off for a moment: "Yes." “

Autumn Pattern also told not to put spicy.

Ximo said, "It's okay, I eat spicy food." ”

"Why?" Autumn pattern surprise.

"Eat occasionally. When I arrived at Yanshan, there was a very heavy miasma in the mountain, and I followed the customs. To be honest, some foods, with some spicy additions, can add flavor. ”

Autumn Pattern smiled: "It's okay." ”

Abang refused to go. He knows that Marigold doesn't eat spicy, how to make this dish? In duplicate, one spicy and one not? In addition, although Abang is in awe of autumn patterns, his heart is also sour. He saw that there was something unusual between the two, but he didn't dare to ask. Seeing them talking, it was clearly not the first time they had met, and the ambiguous affection between words and actions made him, a widower, see that something was wrong at a glance.

"Niangniang, you don't eat spicy, I'll ask someone to make another one?" Abang still opened his mouth.

"Today, I will follow General Shi to eat spicy dishes."

"General Shi?"

"yes. He came to borrow money. I know that the people of Xiushan are very wealthy, after all, there are natural jade in the mountains that can be sold. So, Abang, I'll leave this matter to you. ”

Qiu Wen asked how much silver does Ximo need?

"Five thousand taels."

"Five thousand taels? So much? Ah Bang shook his head in surprise and stopped, "Even if you sell the entire Xiushan, there are no five thousand taels?" ”

Ximo smiled: "I don't ask you to borrow it, nor do I ask the mountain people in Xiushan to borrow it." ”

"Huh?" Not only Abang, but even Autumn Pattern was also unexpected.

"Just go down and prepare the food. In short, I can lend you five thousand taels of silver without moving a single penny of yours. ”

This is even more so that Qiu Wen doesn't understand.

Na Abang opened his mouth wide and was already standing there like a puppet.

Ladies and gentlemen, why is Shi Ximo so confident? Can you say such a thing? There is a reason. Ximo hid a map in his arms. This map is a treasure map, given to him by the king of Ningbei. The king of Ningbei told him: near the mountain forest of Xiushan, there is a natural peacock hole. There are all kinds of good treasures hidden in the cave. At that time, Ximo asked what baby? I don't want King Ningbei to be unclear, so he only said: "In short, it's a treasure, worth five thousand taels of silver." ”

Ximo then received the order.

Ximo said "borrow", which is also polite. However, he is not from Xiushan, and when he sees the locals in Xiushan, he says "borrow", and he is full of respect. In the end, the Xiushan people have no obligation to lend him things. The reason why the king of Ningbei knew this was that an old man gave him this treasure map on his deathbed and informed him of the direction of the burial, and the king of Ningbei did not want to touch the treasure map of the old man. However, his silver vault was not in Yanshan and nearby, and in desperation, he moved the idea of a treasure map.

"Really?" Autumn Pattern doesn't believe it either.

"That's true."

That Abang is a little anxious, if Xiushan really hides a treasure worth five thousand taels of silver, wouldn't it be cheap for outsiders? He was very reluctant. It is better for the mountain people to divide the silver themselves, so they should not risk their lives to go out to quarry stones. But he still asked about Qiu Wen's meaning, after all, she was the leader.

"Marigold Niangniang, do you agree with him to search for the baby?"

"What's not to do?"

"But ......"

Qiu Wen smiled: "Didn't you say it?" It's borrowed. If you borrow something, you will pay it back. General Shi, did you say? ”

"Naturally, it will be returned."

In fact, Ximo is not sure. King Ningbei said that those treasures were related to the mountain people of Xiushan, but they were not related. Things are in Xiushan, but they are also their own. He went, but he only got the treasure back.

But in the end, you have to say hello.

However, Ximo also knew that since the mountain people knew about it, if he relied on the character of King Ningbei, he would still convert the treasure into silver and give back to the mountain people in the future.

Let's wait a minute.

"That's good."

Abang was also relieved.

Qiu Wen decided to entertain Ximo in this small pavilion, and when he finished eating, he took him to the mountains for a walk to find the peacock cave where the treasure was hidden. After Abang left, Ximo said, "You go with me." ”

Autumn Pattern was silent again. But a few hours ago, she was so eager to leave. But she hesitated now. Xiushan hasn't been put in order yet, and he can't leave at this moment.

As soon as she is a marigold mother, she has the obligation to govern Xiushan well.

"Why, you don't want to?" Ximo was also puzzled.

"It's not that I don't want to, I can't go yet." Autumn pattern explained the reason. She always felt that relying on quarrying to get rich was not a long-term solution. The mountain is so big, and one day the stones will shine. At that time, what will the mountain people rely on to live? This is one of them. Second, the patriarchal style of Xiushan has not been eradicated, and some outdated old concepts have not changed.

Her heart was heavy.

Ximo suddenly understood.

For a while, he also wanted to stay and share the burden with her. It's just that now he doesn't have time, so he has to find the treasure early and bring it back to Yanshan. Perhaps, there will be time later.

"Autumn lines, Shibei three days, should be impressive. Now you are really different from before. ”

Ximo is happy for Qiuwen, but also distressed for her.

However, if he leaves, he will not be reluctant in his heart. How do you get both? Just as he was hesitating, Qiu Wen asked: "Uncle, let me ask you, since you are serving in the army, can you accept female soldiers?" ”

Ximo was stunned.

"If you go back, you won't go to Panlong Temple. But in the vast world, I want to do something else. Maybe joining the army is a good choice for me. ”

This was by no means a whim of Qiu Wen, after Ximo left, she had a desire to follow him in her heart. I only regret that as a woman, I can't walk side by side with him and conspire for the common people.

Ximo pondered for a while.

"Really want to go?"

"Nature."

"Since ancient times, it has not been that there have been no women in the army, such as Mulan, such as women. But in the barracks, you have to endure great hardships. In the end, I can't bear it. ”

Autumn Moon smiled: "You can arrange me in the logistics." ”

That's a good idea.

Ximo's heart also flashed with inspiration.

"Okay, you just go along. In the end, I don't give up on you. As soon as the word "She" came out, his heart was full of tenderness, and the affection for him came up.

Autumn Pattern couldn't help it, and really threw herself into his arms.

Ximo hugged him and comforted him deeply.

"Don't call me uncle. You're a free man, so you don't need to call me anything. If you want, just call me by my name, and if it's really annoying, you can also call me 'Hey'. ”

Akimo's face flushed.

"It can't be."

"Why not? In the future, I will take you back with you in the open, so that you will be respected by everyone. ”

"I don't want to go back to your house." This is also the true word of Akimo.

Ximo said, "Okay." It's up to you, too. ”

The gentle autumn breeze is blowing, and the autumn pattern lies in Ximo's arms, I really hope that time will stop at this moment. I don't want Jiangcheng, I don't want Xiushan, I don't want those messy things. She only wants to be like all the women in the world, lying in the arms of the person she likes, for the rest of her life, without complaint or regret.

The two of them said parting words to each other.

The meal was served. Ximo looked at the delicacies on the table with curiosity. Autumn patterns are not strange. Abang stepped forward to present the name of the dish. Qiu Wen smiled: "No need, I'll entertain General Shi." ”

Abang was bored and retreated.

This table full of dishes is indeed hearty. Abang has been out there and seen some of the world. Today he deliberately made the dishes to the taste of Jiangcheng people. It's all spicy, but it tastes good. Akimoru also ate and drank a little soup. The meal was not made by Abang, but a few married women with good cooking skills in Xiushan that he picked out. Ximo also eats, also drinks soup, and more often eats crabs and shrimp. The crabs produced in Xiushan are big, the crab roe is abundant, and the shrimp are also fresh and fat. Compared with Yanshan, the food is actually good.

"Uncle, your tastes have really changed."

"Don't call me uncle, if you call me again, I'll be angry." Ximo deliberately made an angry appearance, and at the same time fed Qiuwen a bite of shrimp.

"I'm not used to it."

"Call me Ximo, or follow my mother, call me Mo'er."

Qiu Wen's face turned red again: "Ximo is just that, Mo'er can't call it." ”

Affectionate and timid.

Although the two have long been in the same mind, to take this step, Qiu Wen is still reserved.
