Chapter 19: Qingfeng Mansion
The older women cook in the kitchen, the younger women clean the yard, the younger children help wipe the tables, and the men go to the fields to find work while the sun is not too hot.
Zhong Xingyue was so tired yesterday that she didn't wake up completely until someone brought the food to the table.
"Auntie, do you have any clothes here that I can wear?" Zhong Xingyue asked embarrassedly
She took a comfortable shower last night, changed the clothes stained with snake blood, and wore the clothes of her uncle's daughter, and she really didn't want to wear that dress back today, even if she had washed it, but she hadn't washed it yet, and there was a smell of snake blood.
"Wait, I'll get you one. ”
The little girl in this family is only ten years old, and her clothes Zhong Xingyue is small and tied.
"Big brother, how did you chop this firewood, can you let me try it?"
The young man wore only a sleeveless thin garment, and the crystal sweat hung on his body, staining the shirt, and in the light of the early sun, he had a manly taste. The big pieces of wood, under his axe, turned into tiny firewood.
"Here, you have to be careful, don't use your hands to help it, it's easy to hurt. ”
"Well, I'll take notice. ”
Zhong Xingyue was eager to try, she was full of curiosity about all the tools, if used well, the axe may not be a qualified weapon.
Chopping wood is a simple thing, and when an axe goes down, it is a piece of wood that is broken in half, but Zhong Xingyue has enough strength to chop it down, and the wood on the stake has not changed at all, but a thin crack has opened on the stake.
On her first attempt, she was crooked.
"Ah, girl, you have great strength!" said the man, surprised
The stake is much harder than firewood, and even an adult man cannot cut such a large slit with an axe.
Zhong Xingyue touched her head embarrassedly and smiled, she is a monk, and it is natural for her to have more strength, otherwise how could she carry the corpse of that big snake?
In fact, in the final analysis, it is just that she is not skilled in the control of the true element, the reason why her strength suddenly increased is because she can't control the use of the true element, if she doesn't use the true element, her strength is no different from that of an ordinary little girl.
"It's not good to have a lot of strength, you see, there's no head, big brother, can you teach me a little experience?"
The man thought about it for a while, and then said,
"Chopping wood may seem simple, but in fact, you must be calm, your hands and eyes are consistent, and remember not to be frizzy. The general point is to hold the axe, the joints should be relaxed, the breath should be even, in addition, it is necessary to follow the texture of the wood, find a good point before splitting, look at it, and split decisively, well, that's it, girl, you try again?"
In his opinion, Zhong Xingyue is a monk and a little girl, and chopping wood is just a whim.
Zhong Xingyue tried again, her legs were one after the other, she bent her knees and squatted, first aimed at the firewood with the axe, and then raised the axe high and decisively chopped it down.
"Smack"
The firewood and the stake split in half at the same time.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I accidentally used True Yuan. Zhong Xingyue immediately apologized embarrassedly, firewood is easy to find, but wood suitable for making stakes is not easy to find.
The man had forgotten about the broken wooden stake and looked at Zhong Xingyue with a dull expression.
Divine Woman!
Zhong Xingyue was very annoyed, she just couldn't control the true element in her body, she didn't know when she suddenly used it involuntarily, she put the axe on the ground, she couldn't try again, and if she tried again, I was afraid that it would cause more chaos to others.
"It's okay......"
"I don't hack, I can't learn. ”
Zhong Xingyue returned to the table in embarrassment, just as the eldest aunt found a dress and came out.
"Girl, this is the new dress I have prepared for my children in the next two years, you are a few years older than her, you should be able to wear it, you don't dislike it, it is not as good as those silk satins. ”
It was a light purple skirt with a short outer and long inside, a tight top and a short skirt, which was a favorite of the peasants, simple and neat, and convenient for them to work.
It is indeed new, and it is very carefully placed at first glance, there is no dust on it, and there are no folds on it.
"I like it very much, thank you, auntie. ”
"You have solved the big problem for our village, it is nothing if I give you a piece of clothing, girl, you go and change it, and come back and we will have breakfast." ”
Although the woman said this, Zhong Xingyue still knew why she killed the big snake, she was not for the sake of other people's good weather, but for herself to come out, so when she was changing clothes in the room, she secretly stuffed a spirit stone under the mattress.
A low-grade spirit stone is equal to ten high-grade spirit beads, and a high-grade spirit bead is equal to ten lower-grade spirit beads, and what she left behind is a hundred lower-grade spirit beads, which is enough for this family of seven to eat for half a month.
The sun rose high, and about three o'clock in the morning, the men returned, some of them carrying hoes, some carrying baskets, and a towel around their necks to wipe their sweat, and the hot whole body was sweaty, and the women poured water intimately, and they washed themselves, and then gathered around for breakfast.
"Let's go to the field and cut some leeks, and then let them make leek boxes, and you can take them and eat them on the way, girl. ”
"What is the leek box?" Zhong Xingyue had heard of this name for the first time
"You'll know when you make it, hehe, we don't have anything good in the farm, don't dislike it, girl. The man smiled plainly, but Zhong Xingyue was very moved in his heart, he just killed a demon beast, and in exchange for their respectful treatment, this feeling.... That's nice.
"No, I haven't eaten it," she said with a smile, and suddenly remembered something, and she quickly asked, "By the way, uncle, do we have any demon beasts around here?" I want to drag this big snake to sell." ”
She didn't dare to say that she wasn't pestering enough, otherwise she was afraid that these people would make up for her again.
"Collect demon beasts?" The man lowered his head and thought about it, suddenly remembered something, raised his head and said, "Yes, it's just not in the village, but in the county town, and there are no cultivators outside." ”
"Oh, uncle, what is our name here, which house?"
When you come, you forget to inquire about the place, this is the most important thing!
"Qingfeng Mansion, in fact, if you want to sell this big snake, you don't necessarily have to go to the county, our place is closer to Qingfeng Mansion, if you go there to sell it, maybe you can sell it at a better price." ”
Huh, Qingfeng Mansion.
One of the most peaceful mansions in Zhao State, here is the Great Plains, there are not many bad people, the most safe, and it is also the largest area, the most peaceful and contented mansion for the people, and it is not far from the national capital.
