Chapter Twenty-Seven: Qi Niang's Duck

The spring rain is as expensive as oil, but the rain is too heavy, and the school can only automatically suspend classes for a day, and even those who go to work in the fields only turn around and come back.

It's rare for everyone to rest at home, Zhou's mother made a small basket of the wicker folded the day before yesterday, and several children came over curiously to watch, even Siniang liked it very much, and learned from Zhou's mother.

Qi Niang sat alone by the window, watching the rain, and didn't know what she was thinking.

Xue Jian accompanied Zhou Bo and Xu Cong'an to watch the rain and chat by the window of the study.

Verses about rain, Yukimi can't help but want to show off the only one she knows, the spring night rain, but in the end, she can't help it, she can't read Yukimi, and besides, it's shameful to steal it after all!

Xu Cong'an likes the peaceful days in the countryside very much, he comes to see the farming next to the fields at the head of the village or listens to the sound of children reading in the library, eats all kinds of delicious wild vegetables carefully made by Xuejian, and tells the children all kinds of interesting stories and strange stories he has encountered in his life in the evening, or listens to the strange stories told by Xuejian with the children, it is really a kind of enjoyment.

"Xu Weng, this is the story that San Lang sorted out." San Lang came in and respectfully handed the manuscript to Xu Cong'an.

San Lang has edited and copied the stories that Xue Jian has told in the past few months, and after Xu Cong'an accidentally found out, he was hooked, and discussed with San Lang to ask him to transcribe another copy, and asked Bai Yitian to give it to Bai Jianran.

"Good! Good! Good! Saburo has a heart! Xu Cong'an hurriedly took it and happily stroked the manuscript.

He wanted to know, would that old friend of his be envious, jealous and hateful for his immortal days?

Bai Jianran is a great talent, and he has always been grateful for this kind of god and ghost books, but his old friend sent it solemnly, so he had to be patient and take a rough look, but he didn't expect to be really addicted to it, and every time Bai Yitian came back, he urgently asked if there was a follow-up story. Of course, that's all for later.

Knowing that the Zhou family has a big appearance, in fact, life is very hard, so Xu Cong'an often goes to the market, and when he comes back, he carries meat and eggs in his hands to supplement the nutrition of several children of the Zhou family.

The people in the village seemed to be in awe of him, and no one took the initiative to get close to him, and he didn't care.

Although the eldest young master of the Zhou family is not as funny as Bai Yitian, nor is he as sarcastic as Wang Conghan of the Wang family, he is undoubtedly smart and awake, if it is not limited by age and life experience, his future will not be under these two.

The four of them were chatting interestingly, and suddenly saw chaos in the courtyard, first Zhou's mother and Du's mother and others were looking for something, and then Erniang rushed out in the rain, Xuejian hurriedly went out of the house to ask, as if she had grabbed a life-saving grass, Erniang had tears in her eyes, and her lips trembled and said: "De'er, De'er is gone!" ”

Zhou Bo's expression moved, he wanted to stand up, and almost fell to the ground, Xue saw that he happened to stand beside him and supported him, Zhou Bo frowned and said, "What do you mean that De'er is gone?" ”

Xue Jian stepped out of the study with Erniang and found that the courtyard was full of figures running around.

Seeing Yukimi come out, Hachiro first ran over quickly, grabbed Yukimi's hand, and said anxiously, "Seventh Sister is gone, what should I do?" What to do? ”

"Have you looked for it all in the house?" Xue Jian actually asked in vain, if it was really in the house, everyone wouldn't have to look for it.

Speaking of which, Hachiro found out first, everyone pondered, but no, since breakfast, I haven't seen Qi Niang show up.

I searched the house inside and outside a few times, and Qi Niang is not the kind of child who is playful, naughty and mischievous, thinking so, everyone is anxious.

"Uh, I've found all the toilets?" Siniang asked again, since someone ran to the toilet to look for it, there was still nothing.

Xue saw that she suddenly remembered something, she turned around and asked Qian'er: "Qian'er, did Qi Niang go out of the gate this morning?" ”

Erniang also reacted, glaring at Qian'er, with displeasure in her voice: "Didn't you follow De'er?" ”

Qian'er has already cried with red eyes, her main task is to serve the second daughter of the Zhou family, Zhou De, and now Deniang is gone, all because she is playful, and she follows everyone to learn to weave wicker baskets, and she doesn't follow the master.

Hearing Xue Jian ask her, she shook her head and said, "I really didn't see Miss Seven go out." ”

She hesitated for a while, and then said, "When Miss Seven finished breakfast, she said ......"

The whole family gathered around, and when they saw her spitting and spitting, Erniang was anxious first, "Tell me quickly, what did De'er say?" ”

Qian'er was already timid, but when she saw everyone looking at her, she was even more cowardly, and she couldn't help but tremble.

Mother Du didn't care about feeling sorry for her daughter, so she grabbed her arm first, "Say it quickly, what did my living ancestor, De Niang'er say?" ”

"Miss Seven said that she didn't know if the duck house would be washed away with such heavy rain?"

Before she finished speaking, Erniang took the lead, Xue Jian followed closely, and everyone rushed out of the courtyard.

The rain was slippery, and the group stumbled, all covered in mud and water.

In the end, the big tiger and the two tigers ran fast and arrived at the edge of the rice field first.

There was no one on the edge of the rice field, but the sharp-eyed Erhu still found, "Look, there's ,—— over there"

In the morning, none of them noticed that the fishing net next to the duck house had broken a small hole somehow.

Looking at the situation, everyone analyzed, it should be Qi Niang who was not worried about her ducklings, and ran over in the rain in the morning to see, but found that a few ducklings were lost from the small hole, so I went to look for them.

Everyone shouted Zhou De's name separately and began to search.

"There are footprints over here!" The big tiger shouted.

Fortunately, when I found the river along the footprints, I found Qi Niang.

At that time, this little girl was walking slowly towards the river, and she was so frightened that Erniang almost fainted at that time.

Du Hai ran over in a few steps and picked up Qi Niang, who was still crying and shouting: "My little duck, my little duck." ”

After coming back, Xu Cong'an didn't say a word, and helped Qi Niang check it, but she was cold, so she asked Du Ma to boil ginger syrup and sweat.

The rest of the people were also sent by Erniang to take a hot bath and drink ginger syrup.

Sure enough, Qi Niang saw that the rain was too big, and she didn't worry about her ducklings, so she secretly ran to the rice field to see, and found that she had lost three of them, and the careful Qi Niang saw that the ducks were lost in that hole, and she searched all the way to the river, and the rain rose in the river, and the ducklings were washed away.

Zhou Bo blushed and glared at Qi Niang, and Xue Jian hurriedly pulled him away.

Erniang said fiercely that from now on, all the ducks will be stewed and eaten for meat, and Qi Niang will no longer be allowed to raise ducks!

Xu Cong'an paid attention to this usually quiet, soft and beautiful little girl, so kind and affectionate, and smart, isn't it just right to be a female disciple?

After the spring rains, the wild vegetables that were dug up by everyone a while ago must slowly grow a batch again.

Everyone's mood gradually became happy as the rain passed.

Xue Jian said to Zhou Bo: "Wild vegetables are limited, mountain mushrooms are limited, although they will always grow, but they can't help the whole village to dig and pick!" ”

Zhou Bo glanced at her lightly and asked, "Let's talk about the point!" ”

This person, so boring, can always guess her thoughts.

"I think, I want to dig mushrooms in a different place that no one else knows!" Xue said with his eyes shining.

In winter, the Zhou family went to fish on the route, because of the thaw of the Daqing River, there must be no one walking, there are people in the village who rely on the Daqing River ferry for a living, Xue saw Xu from Anduhai Zhou Jin gave birth to two tigers, five people came to Daqing Mountain in a small boat, and the ferryman made an appointment, and slowly went up the mountain.

Going up the mountain from the Daqing River was originally the first initiative of the Zhou family.

Everyone walked slowly, enjoying a completely different scenery from winter.

Zhou Jinsheng and Erhu took bows and arrows and other tools to open the way in front, Xuejian and Xu Cong'an walked in the middle, and Du Hai walked to the rear. Beware of wild beasts, but nothing happens along the way, only looming hares and pheasants.

Everyone's purpose was not to hunt or dig wild vegetables, but to go straight to the cave that Yukimi and Zhou Bo had discovered.

Only Zhou Jinsheng walked three times and turned back, and he couldn't wait to bring home the game at his fingertips.

The location of the cave, not halfway up the mountain, was not on the main mountain road, and because it was behind two big trees, it had never been discovered, everyone took torches through the cave, and walked for a while, and came to the valley where Zhou Bo fell.

This is a place that has basically not been mined, Xu Cong'an rummaged through the bushes to find rare herbs, his face was full of joy, Zhou Jinsheng and Du Hai vigilantly watched the surroundings, and Xue Jian and Erhu began to pick all kinds of fat and delicious mountain mushrooms.

In a flash of inspiration, Yukimi remembered the documentary he had seen in his previous life, raising mushrooms in caves!

Yes, because the cave has a constant temperature in all seasons, and it is humid and dark, it is most suitable for the growth of mushrooms!

Of course, she doesn't understand the technology of raising mushrooms, but she still understands some common sense things.

After picking enough mushrooms on his back, Xue Jian was thinking about how to briefly explain the mushroom cultivation techniques that were not available in this era to Zhou Bo in easy-to-understand words, and excitedly asked Erhu and Du Hai to go and clean up the cave first, but unfortunately they didn't bring the tools they needed, but Xue Jian was still in high spirits, this business without a foundation was too suitable for the Zhou family to do!

The things to prepare are actually very simple, wood, there are everywhere in front of and behind this cave, sawdust, horse carpenter's house is ready, spores, God will send it after a rain!

Although he didn't understand the purpose of Yukimi cleaning up the cave, Du Hai and the others were all people with super obedience ability, and soon a few people cleaned up the cave.

On the way home, Yukimi sang a strange and cheerful song all the way, with a clear voice and popular lyrics: "The little girl who picks mushrooms carries a big bamboo basket on her back,......"

The feratrist smiled good-natured and said, "This girl's song is so strange, but it is so good to listen to." ”

Everyone's mood was inexplicably better, only Xu Cong'an was still immersed in the herbs he found.

Xue Jian saw that Xu Cong'an's basket was full of all kinds of medicinal herbs, of course, Xue Jian could not be named, for her, the advantage of the divine doctor was to be able to accurately distinguish all kinds of things that seemed to be grass and accurately say their medicinal effects.

Xu Conggong didn't know that Xue Jian saw himself like this, if he knew, would he vomit three liters of blood?

went home and told Zhou Bo what he had discovered, and Zhou Bo was angry and funny about Xuejian's statement that there was no business and what kind of empty gloves the white wolf was, and knocked Xuejian's head and said, "When you come back, do you still want to occupy the mountain as the king?" And then pretend to be the king of the mountain? ”

Xue Jian put on a posture and said in a thick voice: "Well, I opened this mountain, and I planted this tree." If you want to cross this road, leave to buy road money! ”

It's a good idea to think about it, to rob for a living, and not to worry about making a living.

First went to Carpenter Wang's house to collect a lot of sawdust, and discussed that all the sawdust would be needed in the future, Carpenter Wang did not think much or ask much, and agreed.

Only Sancheng chased after him and asked: "Sister Xuejian, Sister Xuejian, if you want my family's sawdust, you have to promise me not to go to school from now on." "I was beaten by the king carpenter who was all over the yard.

So after another rain, Yuki saw them explore the cave for the second time, and took advantage of the dampness of the valley after the rain, and dug up the whole mushroom with the surrounding soil, especially the soil with small white spores, and planted it with sawdust, and then waited for the whole mushroom to rot, and then came regularly to sprinkle water, and after a while, Yukimi believed that a large number of new mushrooms would grow.
