The next evening, after Qiu Bai and Qiu Ling came back from outside, they went straight to Uncle Zhang's house.

There were many people standing in front of Uncle Zhang's house, all of whom entrusted Uncle Zhang to bring things.

When Qiubai walked up, he was listening to Xie Yuniang saying, "It's five hundred and sixty-three yuan, right, no, it's five hundred and seventy yuan, it's hard Brother Zhang." "The extra seven cents is considered to be an errand fee for Uncle Zhang.

Aunt Zhang's mouth was polite, "Where, it's just a convenient thing." His hand naturally accepted the copper coin handed over by Xie Yuniang.

Qiubai leaned over, "Aunt Zhang, did you bring my things back?" ”

Aunt Zhang smiled and said, "Bring it, five liters of rice and noodles, which is three hundred and fifty Wen, and some seeds, which are fifteen Wen, together is three hundred and sixty-five Wen."

Qiubai was secretly glad that she had brought her usual money out.

He took out the copper coin sideways, counted the three hundred and sixty-five coins, thought about it for a while, and then took out most of the ten coins, and took the rest back, "Aunt Zhang, three hundred and seventy-five coins,"

Aunt Zhang smiled, "The rice and noodle shop in the town just opened a few days ago, but it was in demand, and your Uncle Zhang took a lot of effort to grab so many of them for you, No, your things." As he spoke, he pointed to the small sack leaning against the courtyard wall.

Qiu Ling hurriedly hugged the sack.

During the famine years, rice and flour must be scarce, and there must be many people who buy them.

"Thank you Uncle Zhang! Aunt Zhang, you're busy, let's go back first. Qiubai said very politely.

Aunt Zhang was settling accounts with a middle-aged man, and said without replying, "Okay, okay, come over next time if you need to bring it."

"Okay."

When he got home, Qiubai poured the rice into the long-empty rice jar and poured the flour into the wooden jar.

"We've got to find a way to make some money." Qiu Bai patted the dust on his body and said to Qiu Ling.

Qiu Ling understood what Qiu Bai meant, "I can only grow some wheat this season, and when the time comes, I can sell it to Uncle Zhang, and I should be able to exchange it for some copper coins." ”

"Uncle Zhang still harvests wheat?" Qiubai asked curiously.

Qiu Ling nodded, "Eldest sister, you still told me this...... Uncle Zhang's family has an ox cart, and he goes to the town once every half a month in a season like this when there is no harvest, and once every few days in a season like the wheat and millet harvest. I've heard that Uncle Zhang will also collect those birds, birds, rabbits, fish, or something. ”

"Oh~" Qiubai finally understood, this Uncle Zhang is a second-class dealer

At night, the three Qiuling sisters and brothers all went into the house to sleep, but Qiubai was still sitting at the door looking at the stars.

To be exact, she was thinking about things.

In her previous life, she was from the countryside, and her grandparents would often use bamboo to make cages to go down to the water to fish, and she had seen others use slingshots to shoot birds.

She also wants to learn to play with it, if she can catch a fish or a bird, it can be exchanged for money, as long as she has money in her pocket, she will not worry.

However, she doesn't know how to weave things at all, and she doesn't know anything about catching rabbits.

"Alas~" She sighed faintly and silently carried the stool back to the house.

The next morning, Qiubai was awakened by urine.

She hurriedly put on her shoes and ran to the toilet quickly.

There was a sound of water, and Qiubai stood up, fastening his trouser belt and walking into the house.

At this moment, a very slight sound came from a certain direction.

The reason why it was a certain direction was because the voice suddenly disappeared so quickly that she disappeared without a trace before she could make out the direction.

Qiubai's first reaction was, bastard! Someone peeked at her going to the toilet!

She jerked around and looked around, but there was no one to see.

Could it be ear flowers?

She took a step forward, and saw a man covered in blood in the dirty weeds in the low place ahead.

She screamed in fright, probably so loud that the bloody man on the ground opened his eyes slightly.

"It's not a dead man, it scares me." Qiu Bai breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards the bloody man.

Even though it was alive, the blood all over it was still very terrifying.

"Eh, are you alright?" Qiu Bai squatted down and looked at it for a moment before asking. Judging by the hairstyle and outfit, she guessed it should be a man.

“…… You tell me? "The voice is deep and very nice.

Qiubai was a little embarrassed, "Oh...... Which village are you from, I'll help you deliver a letter to your family. "It's all injured like this, even if you send a doctor, you can't save it, besides, there is no doctor at all in this Qingshui Village, only there is a hospital in the town, if you want to go, you can only take Uncle Zhang's ox cart, the ox cart is very bumpy, I'm afraid he will die faster if he sits on it, so he can only notify his family to collect his body.

Ye Zhiheng's blood-red eyes locked Qiubai faintly, and he said after a while: "Come and collect the corpse?."

This man ...

Qiubai thought for a while and said, "You wait, I'll call someone." After that, he was ready to leave.

Ye Zhiheng stopped her and said, "No, help me in and rest, it'll be fine."

"Ahh Qiubai was surprised and embarrassed at the same time. This is going to kill her family, what to do! It's so obscure.

"I can't help you either, otherwise, I'd better call someone." Qiubai got up and prepared to leave.

Ye Zhiheng spoke again, "This, for you." As he spoke, he found a piece of jade pendant out of nowhere, with a soft and moist color.

Seeing that Qiubai didn't speak, he said, "Help me in, it's yours."

Qiubai is now short of money, and his heart immediately moved when he saw this jade pendant.

If you die at home, you will die at home, and you will get the jade in your hands first.

"Of course you have to go in and rest, you see that you are so badly injured, right, you here, give me a jade pendant." Qiu Bai said embarrassedly, but his hand took the jade pendant very naturally, and quickly stuffed it into the hidden pocket on his chest.

"Can you exert your strength, I will shout one, two, three, and when you reach three, you will exert your strength, and I will help you up."

Ye Zhiheng hummed softly.

Qiu Bai dragged his neck with one hand, and held his arm with the other, "One, two, three!" Rise! She sucked up with all her might.

Ye Zhiheng was very cooperative, frowned and endured the pain, and stood up with a hard effort.

Qiu Ling had already made breakfast, Qiu Doudou had already freshened up Qiu Xiaobao, and the three sisters and brothers were sitting at the table talking and waiting for Qiu Bai.

At this time, Qiu Ling, who was sitting at the door of the kitchen, saw Qiu Bai and Ye Zhiheng at a glance, and she exclaimed, "Sister, what's wrong!" Who is this? ”

Qiubai said with difficulty: "Your uncle, come quickly, come and help."

Qiu Ling hurriedly ran over to hold Ye Zhiheng's other arm, and the two helped Ye Zhiheng into Qiu's father and Qiu's mother's room together.

Since Qiu's father and mother were away, this room has been vacant, and the sisters only occasionally come in to clean up.

The two of them helped Ye Zhiheng to lie down on the bed with great difficulty, and Qiu Ling pushed Qiu Bai, "Sister, when will we have an uncle?" ”

Qiu Baimian explained without changing his color: "What is called when it was there, it has always been okay, you don't remember it when you are young, I can remember it."

Qiu Ling was very surprised by the sudden appearance of the uncle, and after thinking about it, she muttered: "Don't you have a bad memory, don't you remember much about the past......

Qiu Bai patted the back of her head, "I don't have a good memory, it's not amnesia, like these relatives at home, I still remember it clearly." ”

"You guys, go out and talk." Ye Zhiheng interrupted the conversation between the two with great difficulty.

"Oh, well, well, you rest." Qiu Bai hurriedly pulled Qiu Ling out of the room, Qiu Doudou and Qiu Xiaobao stared at Ye Zhiheng curiously, and when they saw Qiu Bai and Qiu Ling walking out, they immediately turned around and ran back to the kitchen.
