Chapter 4 Zhao

I hurriedly stepped forward, only to see that this man was not tall, with thick and short eyebrows, extremely thick lips, and dark skin and a fierce appearance.

When he saw me coming, he pointed to two pieces of meat in front of the stall, which were obviously not very fresh, and asked me to buy them, saying that they were cheaper, and sold them to me.

I hurriedly said, "Eh, this big brother, I'm not buying meat, me?" ”

"What do you do in front of my stall without buying meat? Go away, go away! Seeing that I was not here to buy meat, he suddenly became a little impatient and began to coax me.

"Whoa!" With a bang, several silver dollars fell from under Lingwu's wings.

Immediately afterward, Lingwu winked at me, and I immediately understood, picked up the silver dollar on the ground, and handed it to the butcher.

"I want to spend the night!" I said bluntly, "Are these enough?" ”

These silver dollars are conjured by Lingwu, I don't know how long they can last, I still have some bottoms in my heart, and I am a little weak when I speak.

"Huh? These, these are enough, enough. When the butcher had finished speaking, he collected the money, and then took the two pieces of meat that were left on the stall and carried them away with a straw rope.

I followed behind him, looking around, and found that this Qinzhuang was not big, but it was quite lively, and there were many villagers coming and going.

And this butcher's house is a house with a small walled courtyard, which is better than the surrounding houses, and is not dilapidated.

When the butcher opened the door, I saw a woman dressed in coarse cloth with a small belly, fetching water from the well in the courtyard.

When she heard the sound of the door being pushed, she immediately turned her head, and seeing that it was her husband, she hurriedly put down the barrel and hurried towards it.

And the man was a little impatient, threw two pieces of meat into the woman's arms, and ordered: "Get a pot of stew for Lao Tzu, and two jars of wine." ”

Now, it is summer in this mortal world, and it is very hot, and this butcher also lets the woman who is pregnant with Rokjia and is about to give birth to work around the earthen stove.

I looked at the woman's stomach and felt a little sorry for her: "This sister-in-law, let me help you." ”

I followed her with the baby in my arms, and approached her, telling her that I was here to spend the night, and that I wanted to ask her for a piece of cloth to replace Corning's half-dry fur.

As a result, as soon as they entered the "kitchen" where they were cooking, they saw three children with bare buttocks sitting on the ground playing.

"Sister-in-law, why don't you dress your child? It's hot, but they're just sitting on the ground, I'm afraid it's not good? "I looked at the children, the eldest was about six or seven years old, and the youngest was just able to walk.

"Brother Mill said, this child grows up fast, he doesn't have to spend money cutting fabrics, and it's hot now." This Zhao is restrained and quiet, and when he speaks, his voice is also soft.

"Is there a place for me to dry this fur?" I asked Zhao.

Zhao nodded, and directly asked me to take the fur, and she roasted it against the stove door.

And, looking at the child in my arms, I smiled and said, "You child is so well-behaved, and you are not noisy, but her hair? ”

"Oh, it was born that way." I touched Kangning's hair, there was no vitality on her round cheeks, which was completely different from Zhao's daughters, and I couldn't help but feel a little sour in my heart.

"Girl, your own clothes are wet, come and bake the fire." Zhao looked at me and smiled at me very kindly.

I nodded, in fact, this mortal world was stuffy, and most of the clothes on my body were already dry.

But he still walked to the earthen stove with the child in his arms, and also wanted to warm up Kangning.

"I'll hold it for you." She glanced at Corning in my arms and stretched out her hand to let me dry my clothes, but I quickly shook my head and dodged her hand.

Corning's body was extremely cold, there was no temperature at all, and as soon as she touched Corning's skin, she could immediately detect that something was wrong.

"My child is alive." I could only explain one sentence and prevaricate.

"So, the chicken?" She looked at Lingwu again.

Lingwu has jumped? When he got to the ground, he was surrounded by the three daughters of the Zhao family.

The three children were playing with Lingwu, and Lingwu's eyes were a little helpless, but they also cooperated.

"Hurry up and bring the wine, that's the death?"

Zhao was helping to dry the furs, when suddenly, the butcher's irritable voice came from outside.

I hurriedly took the fur and asked Zhao to hurry up and busy her, she nodded, although she had a straight stomach, but her hands and feet were extremely nimble, cutting meat, stir-frying, warm wine, all in one go.

Although he was sweating, he didn't complain, and soon he prepared all the food and brought it to the yard.

There was a wooden table in the courtyard that had been repaired many times, and this was where they ate.

Zhao set the meal, and the butcher swaggered out, sat on a low wooden chair, and then picked up the chopsticks and drank the meat by himself.

"Sister-in-law, you sit." Zhao also handed me dishes and chopsticks, and I hurriedly beckoned her to come and sit too.

But Zhao shook his head at me and went back to the kitchen.

I thought she needed to add some more food, so I went to the kitchen and tried to persuade her to come over and eat it while it was hot.

As a result, she saw Zhao holding a bowl of sweet potatoes, sitting on the edge of the earthen stove, feeding her three children.

"Sister-in-law, will you come out and eat together?" Looking at the sweet potatoes in her bowl, I immediately frowned.

"No, you're a guest, go and eat, a few of our mothers, we're used to eating here." Zhao pursed his lips and smiled at me, and there was an indescribable sadness in that smile.

"Sister-in-law takes the child out to eat some meat, even if it is to drink some soup, you will give birth in two days, you have to take care of your body." I said and walked towards her.

When she heard what I said, she immediately raised her head and looked at me in some surprise: "Girl, how do you know that I will give birth in these two days?" The midwife on the Zhuangzi said that I would only land at the end of the month. ”

"Oh, I, I, I guessed." I laughed dryly and forced her out, trying to get her some broth.

As a result, when I dragged Zhao to the courtyard, I found that there were some bones left on the table, and the bottom of the dish.

The butcher, on the other hand, drank the last sip of his wine and patted his ass and went out.

"You?" I looked at the leftovers on the table and tried to stop the butcher, who had gone too far in his disregard for his wife and children.

Before I could stop him, his three daughters ran out of the kitchen, taking the sweet potatoes in Zhao's bowl and eating them with the soup at the bottom of the vegetables.

"Let the girl see the joke." Zhao saw the three children, in front of the guests, they were so unruly, a little embarrassed, turned around and said that they wanted to get me a bowl of white noodles.

"No need, I don't have any appetite, I'm bothering you to stay overnight, don't be busy if you're still pregnant." I hurriedly stopped her.

But she insisted on going, and she couldn't stop her.

"Master, I'll go out for something to eat and come back." Lingwu saw Zhao enter the kitchen, and quickly raised his head and said to me, I nodded at Lingwu, and it flapped its wings and flew away.
