Cheng Xi hurriedly said, "I don't care about reputation or anything, you also know the situation of the Cheng family, I can't go back to the Cheng family for the time being." ”

Xu Saburo said in a calm voice, "That's my daughter-in-law." ”

Cheng Xi held his forehead and said with a headache, "Let's do this for the time being, let's talk about this later, go to bed early, and go to the county seat tomorrow." ”

After speaking, she closed her eyes and stopped making a sound, she felt that there was no need to continue to talk to Xu Saburo about this matter, it didn't make sense at all, she could only take one step at a time.

Xu Sanlang didn't speak again, but he thought in his heart that since Cheng Xi wanted to stay, she would definitely be his daughter-in-law in the future, and she couldn't be allowed to leave no matter what.

The house fell silent, except for the chirping of insects on a summer night outside, and the two of them fell asleep with their own thoughts.

Because she was worried about something, and she went to bed early the night before, Cheng Xi woke up early the next morning, and she didn't want Xu Saburo to be earlier than her, there was no one on the bed outside, and there were noises outside the house from time to time.

As soon as Cheng Xi got up and got out of bed, Xu Sanlang stood at the door and said to Cheng Xi inside, "The hot water is boiled, pack it up and wash it." ”

Cheng Xi looked at Xu Sanlang who turned around and went out after saying at the door suspiciously, he was originally a stuffy gourd, and he didn't like to take care of himself very much, but he suddenly took care of himself like this, and he also boiled hot water and shouted that he was washing, which really made her a little uncomfortable. Is this guy okay?

Cheng Xi shook his cranky head, got up and went out.

It's been a few days since I've been here, and the weather is a little hot, although Cheng Xi secretly wiped his body while Xu Sanlang was away, and his body was not too greasy, but this long hair hadn't been washed for several days, and it felt really uncomfortable to be greasy, and he still went to the county seat, so he planned to wash his hair and go out again.

It's just that when it was time to wash his hair, it made him a little annoyed that he wanted to cut off a beautiful long hair with a pair of scissors, it was too troublesome to wash, as for shampoo or something, don't think about it, Xu Saburo took her two dry soap horns, this thing she saw when she was a child, like pea horns, but it is black, I heard the old people in the family say that there was no soap and soap before, and it was used instead.

Xu Sanlang saw Cheng Xi's expression of hair while washing her hair, and he was waiting for her to go out after he had packed up, so he finally stepped forward to take a hand.

Finally took care of his long hair quite refreshingly, wiped it with a dry towel, and then wore his hair loose and beckoned Xu Saburo to go out.

Xu Sanlang looked at Cheng Xi with long hair and went out without taking care of it, frowned, thinking that it was still early, and he would not meet anyone, the weather was estimated to be dry in a while, and he would just comb it up when the time came, so he didn't say anything to stop it.

Looking at the iron lock at the door, Cheng Xi sighed and said, "I hope that when we come back, this door and this lock will still be safe and sound." ”

Xu Saburo didn't answer, only walked in front with the basket on his back and urged, "Let's go." ”

It's still very early, the two haven't met anyone along the way, Cheng Xi is still tired and panting, and finally arrived at the ground, but Xu Sanlang doesn't seem to plan to stop, and continues to move forward.

Cheng Xi really couldn't walk, he found a stone and sat down, he really didn't want to move, Xu Sanlang, who was walking in front, also noticed the movement behind, and seeing that Cheng Xi was tired, he also stopped and said, "Let's rest for a while and then leave." ”

At this time, Cheng Xi remembered that they were going to the county seat, how far was the county seat? Will she die of exhaustion before she even reaches the county seat? Thinking of this, Cheng Xi's whole person was not good.

Holding on to the psychology of luck, Cheng Xi still asked, "Is the county far away from us?" ”

Xu Sanlang responded, "It's not far, it's only half a day's journey, let's leave early, and we should be able to arrive at noon." ”

Walking for half a day is indeed not far, but it is all about two feet, which is equivalent to walking for half a day, and Cheng Xi's head drooped.

Xu Sanlang kept paying attention to Cheng Xi's expression, seeing Cheng Xi's sad face, and slumping on the stone with weak energy, he knew the reason, thought about it, and said, "Let's go to the town first and see if we can meet the ox cart entering the city, if we can, let's take the ox cart to the city." ”

Cheng Xi said with a bitter face, "How far is that town?" ”

Xu Sanlang said, "The town is not far away, this mountain is the town, but there were wild boars in this mountain before, and people were killed, and then they didn't dare to leave, let's be careful." ”

Cheng Xi listened a little pestle, and said worriedly, "Then what if we meet?" ”

Xu Saburo responded, "With me, as long as you don't meet a herd of wild boars." ”

Seeing Xu Saburo so sure, and thinking about his physical fitness, he was already tired and out of breath when he went to the mountain, although Cheng Xi was still worried, he didn't object in the end.

Cheng Xi sat on the stone to rest, thinking in his heart whether he should exercise more, this physical fitness is really poor, if he wants to survive here, in today's living conditions, he has to do physical work, and now his physical fitness is tired in the mountains, let alone work.

Raising his head, he suddenly saw that Xu Saburo was still there, and asked suspiciously, "Aren't you going to hunt prey?" ”

Xu Saburo responded, "You have to pass through the town to go to town, let's go there together." ”

Cheng Xi said, "I'm clumsy, what should I do if I scare the prey away?" ”

Xu Sanlang saw that Cheng Xi was almost resting, and said while turning around and continuing to walk forward, "No, let's go." ”

Cheng Xi got up, quickly followed, and walked forward, Cheng Xi realized how difficult this road was, this was completely a road cut out of the thorn bushes, Cheng Xi followed behind Xu Sanlang, it was very difficult, Xu Sanlang had to slow down and wait for Cheng Xi, and after walking for almost half an hour, his vision finally widened.

Xu Sanlang stopped and said to Cheng Xi behind him, "You wait for me here, don't walk around, there are traps around." ”

Cheng Xi nodded obediently, and said that Xu Sanlang was so powerful, every time it didn't take long for him to hunt pheasants and hares, and it turned out that a trap was set up here.

After walking around, Xu Saburo grabbed two pheasants and a rabbit in his hands.

While putting the prey into the back basket, Xu Saburo said, "Just these few today, let's go." ”

After that, Xu Sanlang continued to lead the way in front, but it was full of thorns, and it was getting more and more difficult to walk, in order to make Cheng Xi walk better, Xu Sanlang held a firewood knife in front of him, cutting the thorns around him while walking, even so, Cheng Xi was tired enough.

It took almost half an hour, Cheng Xi was already tired and sweating, and his vision finally widened, Xu Sanlang stopped and pointed to the bottom of the mountain, "It's the town below, take a break and then go down the mountain, comb your hair first." ”

Cheng Xi pulled his hair with his hands, and panted, "Is there water around here?" Cheng Xi regretted going out without some water.

Xu Sanlang looked at Cheng Xi's hair tied indiscriminately behind him, resisted the urge to come forward to help, and shook his head, "Bear with me, I will go down the mountain soon." ”

Cheng Xi felt that he would not be able to walk after stopping for a while, so he tied his hair haphazardly and said, "Then let's go, go down the mountain first." ”

The road down the mountain seems to be often walked, or relatively wide, but it is much easier than before, not long after the two of them went down the mountain, looking at the faint house not far in front, it is indeed not far away, and the two of them passed in one go.

When he arrived in the town, Cheng Xi was very stunned, it was completely different from what he imagined, but the houses were a little more concentrated, and there were a few storefronts scattered in twos and threes, which were deserted, which made Cheng Xi very disappointed, thinking that his decision to go to the county seat was really right.

Xu Sanlang took Cheng Xi and went directly to the only noodle stall in the town, the old woman of the noodle stall actually knew Xu Sanlang, and saw Xu Sanlang greet with a smile, "Yo, baby, I haven't seen you here for a long time, who is this girl?" ”

Xu Saburo responded, "My daughter-in-law." ”

Cheng Xi greeted sweetly with a smile, "Good mother-in-law." ”

The old woman looked at such a well-behaved and lovely girl, who was still white and tender, very likable, so she smiled and said, "Okay, I said that I haven't seen you come to town for so long, it turned out that I was busy talking about daughter-in-law, the girl doll is really good-looking, the baby is really blessed, is it a little younger at this age, but is it fourteen?" ”

Xu Sanlang's dark face almost invisibly showed a suspicious flush, but fortunately, his skin was dark, and he couldn't see it much, but he was not embarrassed to reply to the old woman, but said, "Two bowls of Yangchun noodles." ”

The mother-in-law was older, and she saw that Xu Saburo was uncomfortable, so she didn't continue to tease the two, and responded, "Okay, you sit and wait." Then he went to the two of them.

Xu Sanlang took off his back basket and sat down at the table, and said to Cheng Xi, who was still standing with a bitter face, "Come and sit." ”

Cheng Xi went over and sat down next to Xu Sanlang, approached Xu Sanlang and whispered, "You have to give money to eat noodles." ”

Cheng Xi, who suddenly approached him, made Xu Sanlang slightly embarrassed, moved slightly, kept a certain distance from Cheng Xi, and said, "I have it on me." ”

Cheng Xi looked at Xu Sanlang in surprise, "Ah, you actually have money?" ”

Xu Sanlang looked surprised at Cheng Xi, and said, "I came to sell prey before and exchanged some money. ”

After that, Xu Sanlang took it out of his arms, took out a string of copper coins strung with hemp rope, and handed it to Cheng Xi, Cheng Xi saw the money here for the first time, so he took it curiously, and said while looking at it, "How much is here?" She looked at a lot of them, and it seemed like there were a lot of them.

Xu Saburo replied, "Two hundred and sixty texts." ”

Cheng Xi has no concept of money in this era at all, how much is two hundred and sixty Wen? After thinking about it for a while, he asked, "How much is a bowl of noodles?" ”

Xu Saburo responded, "Shiwen." ”

Listening to the price, Cheng Xi almost has a little idea, this is more than 200 yuan, more than 200 yuan, what can he do? Cheng Xi sighed, but it's better than having no money, so he won't be hungry for the time being, so Cheng Xi finally feels better.
