Chapter 132: Man-Eating Nightmare (4)
The time to plough the field passed very slowly, and when Yun Ximian was about to fall asleep on the ground, he suddenly heard the woman in the small hut shouting again: "Ergouzi, hurry up and cook, my mother is going to starve to death!" ”
"It's coming!" Xiao Yun Ximian responded with a loud voice, and hurriedly dropped the hoe and ran back, and Yun Ximian was also dragged all the way behind her by the invisible barrier.
Yun Ximian watched Xiao Yun Ximian use a wooden bucket to draw a bucket of water from the well, and walked to a more humble hut next to the small thatched hut with the wooden bucket, saying that the hut was a boast, that is, a small kitchen surrounded by a fence and covered with a big stone above his head.
That little Yun Ximian was holding the wooden bucket half a cut higher than her head, and when she walked into the room again, she accidentally tripped over a small pebble, and the bucket swayed in her hand, which made Yun Ximian tremble.
"......" Xiao Yun Ximian blushed, and poured the water in the wooden barrel into the cauldron with difficulty, and then he had to take a breath.
There was a tightly tied rice bag next to the stove, Xiao Yun Ximian wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, opened the rice bag, grabbed two handfuls of rice from it and put them in the pot.
How big a child's hand can be, whether two handfuls of rice are enough for a bowl is still a question, can you eat enough? Yun Ximian looked at Xiao Yun Ximian's thin body busy in front of the stove, and really wanted to hold this child in his arms and comfort him.
Adding dry wood under the stove, Xiao Yun Ximian brought a stone from the side, stepped on the stone, stood on tiptoe to take down the fire fold placed on the top of the stove, and carefully lit the wood.
"Ahem...... cough ...... "Xiao Yun Ximian is too close, it is inevitable that she will choke on the smoke, Yun Ximian was in a hurry, and stretched out her hand to pat her back, but her hand passed through Xiao Yun Ximian's body, and she couldn't do anything."
Xiao Yun Ximian choked a few mouthfuls, wiped away the choked tears, and went to chop vegetables again.
Those vegetables were just the most ordinary wild vegetables, and the taste was not as delicious as green onions, but Yun Ximian watched her carefully divide the handful of wild vegetables into three parts, take one of them out, and take the other two back.
Seeing that Xiao Yun Ximian regarded wild vegetables as treasures, Yun Ximian felt sad for a while, this child is too bitter!
Xiao Yun Ximian didn't know anything, carefully cut the vegetables, and fried them in a small pot, not even putting salt and oil, just a little water.
The simple dish was ready, and Xiao Yun Ximian took the rice from the pot, put it in a large bowl, and served it to the woman along with the small plate of dishes.
Yun Ximian followed Xiao Yun Ximian into the house together, and saw the woman lying on the bed, supporting her head with one hand, and fanning the wind with the other hand.
"Mother......" Xiao Yun Ximian showed a smile, as if she wanted to please the woman, but the woman's originally indifferent expression suddenly became angry, picked up the pillow next to her and threw it at Xiao Yun Ximian, and shouted:
"How many times have you said it, you are not allowed to laugh!"
Xiao Yun Ximian was so frightened that she trembled, standing next to her and tugging at the corners of her clothes, very pitiful.
The woman snorted, got off the bed and walked to the table and sat down, picked up the bowl and ate it, completely ignoring Xiao Yun Ximian.
Xiao Yun Ximian had no choice but to keep her head down, trying to ignore the sound of the woman eating.
"Are you still human!" Yun Ximian gasped, she had seen a mother who beat her child, but she had never seen such a woman like this, Yun Ximian was about to wonder if Xiao Yun Ximian was born by her!
When the woman had finished eating, she burped and said, "I will go out into the street in the afternoon, and you will remember to take care of the fields." ”
"Yes......" Xiaoyun Ximian agreed.
The woman took a fan and went out shopping, Xiao Yun Ximian could eat, but just now the woman had eaten almost, only a little rice soup was left, Xiao Yun Ximian held the bowl and took small sips, for fear that she would accidentally drink it.
"What a child!" Yun Ximian burst into tears, but she knew that she couldn't do anything now, not even herself.
After drinking the rice soup, Xiao Yun Ximian washed the dishes and went back to the field to hoe; The sun in the afternoon was stronger than in the morning, Xiao Yun Ximian's forehead was covered with sweat, and her face was also reddened, but she still gritted her teeth and hoeed the ground, if she really couldn't stand it, she would take a little rest, but it would definitely not take more than a minute.
Until dusk, Xiao Yun Ximian was still hoeing in the field, and two figures walked over not far away, Yun Ximian looked at it and found that it was Xiao Yun Ximian's cheap old lady and an old man in a white uniform.
White Uniform...... That's not ...... Yun Ximian's pupils shrank, and she seemed to know what time it was.
"Hey, Ergouzi, don't work, hurry up and come over and see the Taoist!" The woman shouted in an affectionate tone.
Xiao Yun Ximian had never been treated like this, and was flattered to tidy up his messy clothes and trotted over.
"Don't go over!" Yun Ximian wanted to stop her, but Xiao Yun Ximian's body passed directly through her arm.
This feeling of being able to only see but not do is really uncomfortable. Yun Ximian pursed her lips.
"Second dog, this is the Dao Leader of Tongtian, why don't you hurry up and meet the Dao Chief!" The woman took Xiao Yun Ximian away, smiled flatteringly at the old man in the white Taoist robe, and said, "This is my daughter, Daoist, you can see if the charm meets your requirements!" ”
The old man glanced at Xiao Yun Ximian, his eyes lit up, he looked pretty good!
"Ahem, I see that your daughter is very talented and very suitable for cultivating immortals." The old man rolled his eyes and said.
I was really right by you bad old man! Yun Ximian glared at the old man indignantly, don't think she doesn't know, this bad old man is a villain, and wants to arrest Xiao Yun Ximian to be a furnace for others!
"Look at the silver...... the chief," the woman hinted with a laugh.
The old man coughed, and unfathomably took out two ingots of silver from his sleeve, that is, twenty taels of silver, and gave them to the woman, who smiled and thanked the old man again and again.
Xiao Yun Ximian didn't know what was going on, so he could only stand next to him.
"Cough, two dogs, don't say that your mother doesn't feel sorry for you, this is the hairpin that your mother specially bought for you, if you succeed in learning in the future, remember to come back to find your mother!" As she spoke, the woman took out a rough wooden hairpin from her pocket and handed it to Xiao Yun Ximian, who had no ornaments on it, but even so, Xiao Yun Ximian was still very happy.
"Thank you, mother!" Xiao Yun Ximian said sweetly.
"Hey......" The woman touched Xiao Yun Ximian's head and smiled kindly, as if the person who sold Xiao Yun Ximian for twenty taels of silver just now was not her.
Xiao Yun Ximian followed the old man away, wearing the hairpin given to her by her mother on her head.
"Her mother has finally done a good thing." Yun Ximian looked at the unsightly hairpin and muttered to himself.
It will take a few days for the old man to go to the buyer's house, during which he wants to be as good as Xiao Yun Ximian, looking at Xiao Yun Ximian's pure smile, Yun Ximian's heart hurts for a while.
Why is there always such a person in the world? Yun Ximian looked at the old man who bought rock sugar gourd for Xiao Yun Ximian, and his eyes gradually became murderous.
"Thank you, Chief!" Xiao Yun Ximian took the rock sugar gourd and said obediently.
"You're welcome, you're welcome, we'll stay here tonight." The old man said, pointing to a house not far away.
Yun Ximian just glanced at it and knew what kind of place it was.
Qinglou.
"Wow, there are so many beautiful sisters here!" Xiao Yun Ximian hadn't talked about this place, but it was the first time he saw so many colors, and he was immediately dazzled.
"Haha, Xiao Er, open two rooms!" The old man beckoned Xiao Er and said.
"Hey, isn't it too much of a waste of money, one can be ......" Xiao Yun Ximian was afraid of bothering others, so he said resignedly.
The old man had other ideas in his heart, naturally he didn't want to be with Xiao Yun Ximian, and he was not afraid that Xiao Yun Ximian would run away, so he said with a smile: "No, no, I will sleep one last night tonight, and we will be home tomorrow." "When the time comes, give this girl to that person, he will have to make a lot of money!
So Xiao Yun Ximian lived in a room alone for the first time, and she was so excited that she rolled over and over on the bed for a long time and didn't feel sleepy, but in the end, it was a child, and she was not sleepy after tossing for so long, lying on the bed, and fell asleep in a blink of her eyes.
Yun Ximian was also about to close his eyes and recuperate, at this time, a red-faced voice suddenly came from the next room, Yun Ximian was embarrassed and didn't forget to scold the beast, no wonder he was willing to let Xiao Yun Ximian sleep in a room by himself!
Yun Ximian listened to it almost...... Half an hour later, the sound was gone.
Yun Ximian: "......"
Tut.
Although there was a bit of schadenfreude, Yun Ximian still looked serious on his face.
Don't look at some people's scenery on the surface, in fact, it's only been half an hour behind the scenes.
It was slowly getting dark, and most of the ancient people's schedules were very early, especially at this time when Xiaoyun Ximian was sleeping, everyone had already gone to bed at eight or nine o'clock.
A late-night party like Yun Ximian will never understand the term early bed.
"Hmm......" Xiao Yun Ximian on the bed woke up, put on his shoes, and yawned as if he was going out.
What is this for? Yun Ximian was puzzled, but seeing that Xiao Yun Ximian went downstairs, she also followed.
Xiaoyun Ximian walked to the staircase, and saw the old man chatting with the shopkeeper, and before he could shout, he heard the old man say: "You said that this man is nothing more than a good woman, and with a woman, you can give money by the way, do you see that I brought that girl, how is it, she looks good?" ”
The shopkeeper hurriedly catered and said: "Pretty and beautiful, but even more beautiful than the girl in our building, I didn't expect you to have such a stunner!" ”
"Hahahaha, you think too much, this is what I want to sell, sell it to others to make a Ding furnace, that money is enough for me to play for a few more years!" The old man was treated so flatteringly, and his tone was naturally arrogant.
