Chapter 25: The Panda
Dinner is some food that looks beautiful on the outside, but actually tastes very bad, fortunately, Lou Yi is used to walking outside, although he prefers food and wine, but he is never picky, Xiao Ru is also from a hard day, at least not to be unable to eat, after eating, go back to the side courtyard to rest, Xiao Ru and Lou Yi's room are adjacent, of course, Aunt Liu originally only prepared a room, or Xiao Ru said that Xiao Lou wanted to read at night, so he cleaned up a study.
The candlelight is thick, listening to the occasional cicada chirping outside the window, Xiaoru misses her mother-in-law at home, obediently, and there are many little monkeys, even a grass and a tree on Daqing Mountain, as well as the wolf king Da Lao Qing, since the two of them met, they have never been separated for a moment, Xiaoru has not stayed overnight outside, on the way, because of the vigilance, Xiaoru did not think so much, at this time settled, but inevitably a little impetuous.
When she was at home, every time she was upset, Xiaoru would practice calligraphy, but when she was out, she didn't bring pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and she really didn't want to trouble Zhang's.
Early the next morning, Xiao Ru stuffed some of the new clothes and more expensive jewelry she brought into the box and put them away, although Zhang's may not be so faceless and skinless, but she is not afraid of 10,000 in case, if she finds a reason to harm her own things, Xiao Ru will be uncomfortable.
After a little breakfast, Xiaoru called Fu'er and began to teach her embroidery hand in hand, that Nizi couldn't sit still, there was no qualitative at all, half a morning, only embroidered a bamboo that could barely be seen, and she was clamoring to go out to play, Xiaoru was worried that this place was unfamiliar with the place, and refused to let her go, Fu'er was also obedient, not those children who were obsessed if they couldn't get it, but they couldn't help but pout their little mouths and be unhappy, which made Xiaoru feel a little distressed.
It didn't take long for Lou Yi to knock on the door and come in, still carrying a very delicate tortoiseshell box in his hand.
"Yes, we didn't suffer, we made it this time." He put the box on the table and said with a wry smile, "It's not a profit to change a box for a box, it's just that what do we want to do with such a large number of folding fans." ”
Xiao Ru was stunned, and said in her heart, that Li Gongzi and his cousin surnamed Ji were really polite and polite, and opened it curiously, and sure enough, there were three layers of folding fans inside, she casually flipped through it, and found that the first layer was bamboo and wood as the fan bone, the second layer was the sandalwood fan bone, and the third layer was the agarwood fan bone, with six in each layer.
Lou Yi said with a smile: "Although it is not as good as the hundred-bone fan I gave out, but this thing is no worse than those ordinary fans customized by the Internal Affairs Office, at least a handful of hardware, we have no money to eat in the future, so we can sell it casually, and it will be enough." ”
Xiaoru also nodded solemnly: "Hehe, I'm thinking, after entering Beijing with you, those personal contacts, New Year's gifts, and headaches will be good, and it will be elegant to send folding fans, and it doesn't cost money." ”
The little couple joked a few words, Xiao Ru suddenly remembered something, and said: "Brother Xiaolou, it's not easy for us to come to Sichuan once, it's better to go into the mountains and have a look, this place has a good environment, and there should be a lot of good medicinal materials in the mountains." ”
Of course, Lou Yi is as good as a stream, neither of them is a drag on the mud and water, so they act when they think of it, Xiaoru changes into convenient clothes, takes Fu'er, and asks Jiang Tian to go to Aunt Liu to borrow a medicine basket, let Lou Yi carry it, and set off.
Because of a lively little Fu'er, Xiaoru thought about it, took a long detour, and went to the market to have a look, but I didn't expect that just in time for the big set, there were a lot of jugglers, there was a short stature, but the old man with a full beard stood on the street to play 'changing face', Xiaoru counted, and actually changed seventy-three faces in one minute, she couldn't help but be stunned, Fu'er stuffed that little bit of loose silver in her pocket, and it was scattered after a while.
With Fu'er, she watched the change of face, breathing fire, whirling dance, and listening to the photo book, not only Fu'er was satisfied, Xiaoru was also satisfied, she hadn't seen such a lively scene for many years, seeing these, she had a little down-to-earth feeling, if it wasn't for the end of the troubled times, where would anyone still be in the mood to be lively.
After shopping, they each ate a dandan noodle, and the three of them headed for the mountains, ready to do business.
The mountains and rivers of Sichuan are really bright and moving, Xiaoru entered the mountains and forests, and suddenly felt refreshed, but the road here is much more difficult to walk than the big green mountains at home, and the medicinal materials are also rich, just into the mountain for half an hour, Xiaoru's medicine basket will be collected to half full.
Lou Yi walked this way, but he walked tremblingly, which made Xiaoru couldn't help laughing: "I heard the old man say, you used to walk on mountain roads often, you shouldn't be afraid of snakes, why are you so afraid?" ”
"It's not that I'm afraid, it's just that the cold, slimy feeling is too annoying...... It's strange, I haven't seen so many snakes in the mountains before, why are they endless? ”
Xiao Ru pursed her lips, snickering, and dexterously luring a slender green snake into the grass, so that Brother Xiaolou would not see it, she would rely on these little things to lead the way to collect medicine, how could it not be much?
"Sister Xiaoru, listen, there is a mountain spring ahead."
At this time, it was almost noon, the sun was already hot, Fu'er's spirit was a lot smaller, and her little face was flushed, Xiaoru took out the cooling oil made of peppermint as the main medicine, first applied some on Fu'er's temples, and rubbed it a little for Lou Yi.
Lou Yi suddenly forgot about the mountain spring in front of him, and said with a smile: "What is this, I think it's very cool and comfortable." ”
"Heat-proof, come, you bring a jar with you, you can use it to wake up in the summer." Xiao Ru took out a small porcelain bottle, stuffed it into Lou Yi, and said with a smile, "Let's go, let's drink some water and eat something." ”
The three of them bypassed a bamboo forest, and their eyes suddenly opened up, and the water vapor in their faces dispersed the summer heat, and the mountain spring gushed out, which was cool and pleasant, Fu'er rushed into the spring water that covered the feet like flowers, and put the whole little face on the mountain wall to receive the spring water, Xiaoru raised her eyebrows, found a clean place to sit down, and said with a smile, "Fu'er, be careful not to fall......"
Lou Yi saw that Xiaoru also had a yearning expression, the corners of his mouth hooked, and said with a smile: "I'll go get some game and pick up some firewood...... Hey? What is that? ”
"What?" Xiao Ru turned her head when she heard the sound, and didn't see anything at first, but for a moment, the weeds not far away next to her squirmed, and a small head poked out of it......
"It's a bear, right? Do you want to catch it? I'm kind of craving bear's paws. ”
Paws? Paws? Xiaoru was so choked that she almost couldn't get out of breath, eating pandas? She didn't want to be shot...... Of course, it is impossible to be shot here, but eating a national treasure, she doesn't have such a good psychological quality......
Xiao Ru sighed, and after a long time, she came back to her senses when she met a panda in the wild, stretched out her hand, and said in a low voice: "Come, where is your mother?" How can you be alone? "This panda is still very small, about not long after weaning, and its small appearance is cute and cute, and even Fu'er is holding her breath, for fear of scaring it away.
The panda looked at Xiao Ru, blinked, and actually crawled to Xiao Ru's side little by little, hugged her legs, flashed her big eyes, and almost fainted Xiao Ru with happiness......
