Chapter 34: Seventy-Seven
"Son, is your sheep dead?" The leopard had a smiling expression on his face.
"No, I begged A-Niang to save her. Daddy, she's not a sheep, her name is Qiqi. ”
"It doesn't matter what her name is Qiqi or Baba, there is no one who can't be cured by your mother, if she comes back to life, she will be a girl for you and serve her." The leopard laughed.
When Huzi heard this, he put on an unhappy look on his face: "I want to marry her." ”
The leopard laughed again: "Marry a two-legged sheep? Hahaha...... When you grow up, your father will find you a good relative. He stretched out his hand and pointed to the bamboo chair next to him, motioning for Huzi to sit down.
"Huzi doesn't want to be a good family, he wants Qiqi." Huzi pouted.
"I'll talk about it when I grow up." The leopard shook his head. Hmph, a two-legged sheep is also worthy of being the daughter-in-law of this North Wind Village? Isn't this on the head of his family?
The servant next to him hurriedly stepped forward and brought out a bowl of yellow millet porridge mixed with a few wheat grains from the crockpot for Huzi. This kind of high-end food can only be enjoyed by leopards. On weekdays, Huzi, like everyone else in the cottage, eats brown rice and nibbles on millet dumplings.
Huzi held the bowl, but he didn't put down his chopsticks for a long time. The leopard didn't care, and ate the food in the bowl three times and twice, and then patted his round stomach and stood up, and touched his son's head: "Huzi, it's not a good year now, Daddy has to go down the mountain to get more food, you and practice martial arts in the village, don't break in." ”
"Is the third uncle going too?"
"What did he do? Don't learn from him, there's no other use for going out except as a person! The leopard shook his head.
"But the third uncle is very light, and he can run fast."
"You can remember, it's okay to learn martial arts, don't learn that flowery nonsense, and don't learn to tear the back of the neck when you see a woman, and lose Lao Tzu's face."
"Got it, Daddy." Huzi nodded.
Autumn is approaching, and at this time of the year, the leopard will take the brothers from the cottage to do business, frequently going up and down the mountain, sometimes bringing back chariots and horses, sometimes bringing back women, sometimes bringing back property, sometimes bringing back grain and grass. He has to prepare for winter, and there are two or three hundred people in the cottage, and the daily expenses are indeed very large. In addition, in recent years, the situation has been really bad, and there are hungry prisoners everywhere, and it is rare to return with a full load. If you can't save enough food for the winter, the people in the cottage will go hungry.
After the leopard finished speaking, he fastened his trouser belt, tore off his shirt from the back of the chair, put it on his shoulders, and walked out of the courtyard gate without looking back.
Huzi stretched his neck and watched, until he couldn't see the figure of the leopard and couldn't hear his footsteps, so Huzi carefully picked up the porridge and walked to Qiqi's room.
Qiqi woke up in pain all over his body, and when he raised his hand, he found that the clothes on his body had been changed, so he hurriedly reached out to his chest and touched it, but there was nothing, Qiqi was shocked: Where is Long Pei?
She struggled to get up, but knocked over the porridge bowl that was lying next to the bed, and with a snap, the bowl fell to the ground and shattered.
Hu Ziniang came in and hurriedly supported her: "Little girl, your bones are broken, you have to lie down and not move." ”
The huge pain of breaking the rib made Qiqi bite his lip desperately, and it took a while to relieve: "Who...... Who helped me change my clothes? ”
"I changed it. What's wrong? It doesn't fit, does it? These are all my clothes, and you are naturally wearing them bigger. Hu Ziniang wanted to help her lie down, but Qiqi stubbornly reached out and pushed her hand away, signaling that she would just sit.
"Yes...... No...... I saw a small cloth bag...... What's wrapped? Qiqi asked with difficulty.
