Chapter 107: Besieged
Jiang Baoqing quickly packed up and came out, and also carried a straw basket and walked to the village with Fuyuan.
Probably because Gong Ji's leg condition has improved recently, and the smile on Fu Hui's face has increased a lot, and she said as she walked with Jiang Baoqing: "...... When the young master's leg is healed, we will probably have to leave here, and we want to take advantage of this time to taste more fresh vegetables and fruits in this mountain. ”
Jiang Baoqing paused, nodded, and said, "Some fruits are really delicious." ”
"Then you have to recommend it more, the peaches I bought yesterday were quite sweet, and the young master and Bai Qi both ate them." Fu Rui looked at Jiang Baoqing's expression and smiled and took her arm.
Jiang Baoqing was still not very comfortable with physical contact with others, she smiled and walked a few steps quickly: "Then let's go quickly, if we go late, we may be picked up." He dodged Fleur's hand.
Seeing this, Fleur didn't say anything, smiled and took her hand back, and quickly chased after it.
The two arrived at Sanliwo, which was the time when the farm was busy, and many people's fields should have harvested the wheat, although it was still early, but the whole village was basically awake.
The strong laborers are basically in the ground, and if they don't have much strength, they set up a small stall at the door of their house, with their own vegetables or melons and fruits on it, which can be regarded as subsidizing a few families.
The village is full of naughty children who don't know anything, as well as some second-rate ruffians who are idle and don't do their jobs.
Because Fleur wanted fresh fruits and vegetables, Jiang Baoqing first led her to a family with an orchard at the head of the village.
The yellow apricots crushed the branches and fell on the branches, which made people look full of appetite. Fleur's eyes lit up, and she pointed to a piece of apricot on the branch: "Pick the big one and help me pick it." ”
The laborers of the family also went down to the field to harvest the wheat, and only an old lady with a hunched back remained, and she came tremblingly to threak apricots with a long pole with a pocket.
Jiang Baoqing couldn't stand it anymore, took the pole from the old lady's hand, and beat a lot of apricots according to Fuyuan's request.
Furao praised: "Miss Jiang is so powerful, this one will too." ”
Jiang Baoqing smiled and didn't speak.
When she finally paid the money, Fleur bought most of the apricots and gave the old lady a lot of copper plates, and the old lady's eyes widened, and she said with a little trembling: "This, this is too much...... It doesn't take so much. ”
Fleur said softly: "You are a lot old, and it's not easy, so take it." ”
The old lady put away the copper plate with tears in her eyes.
Fu Rui looked at Jiang Baoqing, who was helping the old lady put away the pole: "Miss Jiang, don't you buy some?" ”
Jiang Baoqing shook his head: "If you don't buy it, you can't afford it." ”
The price paid by Hibiscus is much higher than the market price, Jiang Baoqing is not a person who slaps a swollen face and becomes fat, she really can't afford it.
What's more, there are many apricots on the back mountain. It's just that there is no sweetness cultivated by special people, and it is not so big. But there is a hint of sweetness in the sourness, and it is quite refreshing to eat in summer.
Furao persuaded: "Buy a little more, it's not easy for the old lady to look at, it's weird and distressing." ”
Jiang Baoqing glanced at Hibiscus and said calmly: "It's not easy for me either, who will feel sorry for me?" ”
Fleur, who was directly scolded back like this, showed a trace of embarrassment on her face.
But her cultivation was there, and when she saw that Jiang Baoqing was so inadequate, she shook her head and said with a tolerant face: "You...... Alas, forget it. ”
Jiang Baoqing turned his head and ignored her.
The eldest lady knew Jiang Baoqing, and she quietly stuffed two apricots into Jiang Baoqing's arms: "Baoqing girl, take it and try it, it's sweet." ”
Jiang Baoqing resisted again and again, and the eldest lady insisted on stuffing the apricots into Jiang Baoqing's arms, and patted them after stuffing them, signaling her to hide them.
Fleur glanced at it and said nothing.
Jiang Baoqing had to secretly leave a few copper plates before leaving.
Fu Hui came out with half a basket of apricots, and she whispered to Jiang Baoqing: "Miss Jiang, be kind, you see, didn't the old lady stuff apricots for you?" Don't take money too seriously, just help others if you can......"
Jiang Baoqing stopped, looked at Fleur, sneered, shook his head, and did not refute.
For some people, money is really nothing to them.
But for others, even a few copper plates, it is a straw for them to live.
The concept is different, Jiang Baoqing is too lazy to communicate with Fleur, but she silently thinks in her heart, this time she will take Fluff to familiarize herself with the village, and she will not accompany Fleur out to buy things in the future.
It's really sinful.
There are several families selling things in the village, most of whom are unable to work in the fields and are really short of money. After buying two or three of them, Jiang Baoqing keenly sensed that something was not quite right.
It seems that there are a few ruffians and second-rate people not far away, and their eyes have been chasing them.
To be precise, it's chasing Fleur.
However, the people who sold things in the village regarded the hibiscus as a big wrongdoer, and each of them came over with their own things to sell feverishly, almost surrounding them, and some of them secretly reached out to steal things from the hibiscus basket.
Jiang Baoqing had to hold his breath, forcibly pulled Fleur to escape, and ran up the mountain.
Fleur's clothes were a little crooked, she had never been so embarrassed, and her whole person was a little sluggish and speechless.
"You ...... You people...... It's horrible, too. After a while, Fleur came back to her senses and muttered.
Jiang Baoqing sighed: "The people in the nearby mountain villages are very poor, and at first glance I saw a rich and ......" Jiang Baoqing swallowed back the word "stupid" that people are stupid and have a lot of money, "It's strange if you're not crazy." ”
Fleur bit her lower lip, her face still a little pale.
Jiang Baoqing was also pounding his waist without any shape, but when he suddenly heard something, he straightened his waist, and his expression became serious.
Fleur was still a little confused: "What's the matter......"
At the other end of the mountain road, a few ruffians walked towards this side with a lewd smile on their faces.
Fleur was not stupid, and suddenly understood what was going on, her eyes widened, her face became more and more pale, and she couldn't help but look behind her.
Behind them was a rough mountain road, some distance from their yard.
Jiang Baoqing has an impression of them.
These are all well-known gangsters in the nearby village, who are idle every day, stealing chickens and touching dogs, and they are all well-known people who hate dogs.
Jiang Baoqing was not at all optimistic about their motives for appearing in front of them in groups.
Jiang Baoqing took a step back and protected Fleur.
The gangster Jiang Baoqing remembered that it was Wednesday, there was only a blind old widow in the family, no one cared about him, he was a lot old, he hadn't married a daughter-in-law yet, and he was messing around every day. There were rumors in the village that he had become a thief outside this Wednesday and used the stolen money to make a living, otherwise he would have starved to death.
Wednesday shouted: "Stinky fool, get out of the way, the uncles have no sexual interest in you, don't be ignorant, get in the way of the uncles!" ”
Several other people also coaxed together.
Fleur's face turned pale.
