Qi Xiaoting: "In order to let you practice swords on the tower with peace of mind." None of the monster's words are true. But don't worry, I'll bring it to you. After speaking, he came outside, waved his hand to Li Hong and the others, and flashed into the space.

"Are you going to give them rice and noodles?"

Seeing Qi Xiaoting tidying up, Long Yi asked.

Qi Xiaoting: "Their family is so poor that they don't even have millet." I want to give them something to eat first, and then give them a little bit of rest to grow food when I leave. ”

Ryuichi: "Have you thought about it?" You have rescued their daughter from the tower and released the snake demon who controlled the girl, and once the snake demon returns, it will be easy to take revenge on them. ”

Qi Xiaoting was stunned: "This ......" She only knew that she had saved people, but she really didn't expect this layer to come up: "What do you say?" ”

Ryuichi: "Let them get out of here for a while." When the snake demon is eliminated and it is too peaceful, I will send them back. ”

Yes! Why didn't you think about it yourself?

Qi Xiaoting hugged Long Yi excitedly and gave him a big wen.

Long Yi took advantage of the situation to hug her, returned one on her forehead, and said lovingly: "If you encounter this kind of thing in the future, you must think about it thoroughly, minimize the loss of the people, and avoid it as much as possible." I have dry food here and freshly made porridge, take it out, let them eat, and move it quickly. ”

Qi Xiaoting nodded, broke free from Long Yi's embrace, made half a pot of porridge, picked up a grate of steamed buns, and flashed out of the space. said to Wu Guiqing: "There is just ready-made, come and eat it." ”

While eating, Qi Xiaoting said to Wu Haiqing: "Cui Ying will definitely not give up on you when she comes back."

"Six or seven miles northeast of the county, there is Taoyuan Village, which is our foothold. There are also our people, there is a place to eat and live.

"I want to take your whole family there for a few days, and then send you back after I have killed the snake demon. What do you think? ”

Wu Haiqing saw that Qi Xiaoting had "superb medical skills", so she wanted her to take care of his wife's illness thoroughly. I was thinking about how to keep her or asking her where she lived, and I heard that she was in Taoyuan Village, where there was food and shelter. Wouldn't it be more convenient to live in a doctor's home? I gladly agreed.

Wu Li drank a bottle of ambergris herbal water, ate half a bowl of millet porridge, and his spirit improved a lot. Although his voice was still very weak, he took Qi Xiaoting's hand and kept saying, "Thank you!" Thank you! You saved my daughter, you saved me, and you gave our home. ”

Qi Xiaoting: "Don't say that, it's the yin virtue that you have accumulated by doing good deeds with a good heart." He told her about the move.

Wu Li nodded: "You and I gave my daughter's lives, and I will listen to whatever you say." ”

After eating, the family cleaned up. Li Hong hired a carriage in the village, pulled Wu Haiqing's family, and went straight to the Tanglin Township Government.

Since Wu Cuiying was elected by the township government, such a big change has occurred, and it must be explained clearly to the township government. took Wu Cuiying with him to confirm that Wu Cuiying did not go down to the tower and escape without permission.

On the way, Wu Cuiying apologized for her actions on the tower. Qi Xiaoting smiled and said: "It is not an exaggeration to know. But you have to tell me the truth, why do you practice swords with the portrait of me and Jiaona, and why do you want to kill me? ”

Wu Cuiying: "It was my master who asked me to practice like this, saying that I would keep you two in my heart, so that I could kill you when the time comes." ”

Qi Xiaoting: "How long have you been practicing like this?" ”

Wu Cuiying: "As soon as I got up to the tower, they asked me to practice swords in this situation. It's been more than two months. ”

Qi Xiaoting: "I don't think you practice very hard. ”

Wu Cuiying: "I know I'm not good at training. My master said that as long as you are proficient, you can do it. The murder was carried out by the other party without defense, and as long as I remember the other party's appearance and have the opportunity to make contact, I can achieve my goal. ”

Qi Xiaoting: "Then tell me, what is the purpose of killing me?" ”

Wu Cuiying: "My master said that as long as you kill one of these two people, let me go home." ”

Li Hong: "Do you know who these two people are?" ”

Wu Cuiying shook her head.

Li Hong: "To tell you the truth, this one (referring to Qi Xiaoting) is the prospective wife of the future emperor in the Eight Dragons Altar, that is, the future mother of the country; The other is the little sister of Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East China Sea, that is, the Dragon Princess and the Little Dragon Girl.

"Think about it, you are a common man, can you kill it? It's just to kill, can you afford to provoke the Dragon King of the East China Sea? Can you afford to provoke the future emperor? ”

Wu Cuiying's mouth opened wide in surprise: "But, why did they ask me to kill them?" ”

Dongsheng: "They are delusional!" ”

Wu Cuiying: "I was very grateful to them in the past, so it is, I hate them to death." Do you want me to do it? I want to follow you to kill them! ”

Qi Xiaoting: "You are still young, and your mother is sick again, don't go this time, take good care of your mother at home." ”

The group was talking, and Tang Lin arrived.

In the township government, I just explained the situation to the township head, and obtained the understanding and support of the township head.

The scud then came to the paper crane, saying that the snake princess and the two snake demons had entered the Tibetan King Forest.

At the moment of the great enemy, Qi Xiaoting had no choice but to let the old and serious Li Hong escort Wu Haiqing's family to Taoyuan, and led Dongsheng and Li Heier to join the scud and go to the forest of the king of Tibet to hunt down the snake princess and the two snake demons.

Writing here, I have to talk about Zao Forest.

There is also a local legend about this Zao Forest:

According to legend, at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Wang Mang usurped the throne. In order to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, he chased and killed the young master Liu Xiu everywhere. Liu Xiu was alone, and he was chased and fled everywhere.

One day, Liu Xiu fled to the west bank of the Qingliang River in this area, and was about to cross the river to flee eastward, but Wang Mang's pursuers had arrived, so he went to hide in a low forest not far from the river.

At that time, it was the cold winter wax moon. Wang Mang's soldiers searched the dwarf forest for three days and three nights, and Liu Xiu also froze in the dwarf forest for three days and three nights.

After Wang Mang's soldiers left, an old man went to the low forest to cut wood and found him. The old man asked about the situation and knew that this was the young lord of the big man, so he took him to his home and hid him.

Liu Xiujing was hungry and angry after this cold, and he actually got typhoid fever, and he couldn't get up from the kang for more than ten days. The old man asked the doctor to grab medicine and slowly recuperated him.

The old man had a daughter named Jiao Niang. is dignified and beautiful, and she also does good needlework and cooks good rice.

He saw that his father had hidden the young lord of the Great Khan at home, and he listened to Liu Xiu's misfortune, and was very sympathetic, so he arranged for Liu Xiu to eat.

At that time, people's staple food was boiled rice porridge and steamed rice noodles. When improving life, they use wheat flour to boil paste, mix lumps, and knead dough sheets, mix the meat and vegetables, and pour them into the pot, which is called "mikushi".

Although Jiao Niang is smart and well-behaved, she can only repeat the kind of food she ate at that time. After doing this for more than ten days, she felt that it was too monotonous, and she was bent on making a fresh meal to enhance Liu Xiu's appetite.

On this day, it is the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve. Jiao Niang reconciled the noodles and chopped the meat filling, it was time for the sun to set.

Jiao Niang thought to herself, although this Liu Xiu suffered, he was a young lord of the Han Dynasty after all, and he was used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas in the palace.

In the past ten days of living in my house, I have not made a bad meal except for boiling paste, mixing gnocchi, and kneading dough sheets! Today is the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, does this farewell to the old and welcome the new meal still let him eat noodle sheets?

She looked at the reconciled dough and the prepared "skewers", and suddenly her heart moved: picking up the "skewers" with dough sheets and then cooking them can avoid the loss of fragrance, and solve the greasy soup, maybe it will be more delicious!

So, she picked up a small piece of dough, rubbed it in the palm of her hand, and then kneaded it around with her fingers. She pinched and pinched, and a small round dough cake appeared on the palm of her hand.

She picked up the chopsticks again, put a small piece of "mikestring" with meat filling in it, and then pinched it with her fingers here and there, until it was all pinched tightly.

As a result, there was a pasta dish with two pointed ends, a bulging middle, noodles on the outside, and stuffing on the inside - this is the first dumpling in our country.

Jiao Niang put her own gadget in the palm of her hand and took a look, hey! It's pretty good. She was so pleased with her invention that she continued to wrap it up until she had finished the bread she had reconciled.

When she had a farewell meal in the middle of the night, she cooked her little inventions in boiling water by cooking noodles, put them in a bowl, and served them to her father and Liu Xiu.

Two people eat, hey! Slippery () moist and tender, fragrant, very delicious.

Liu Xiu praised while eating, and asked, "What's the name of such a delicious thing?" ”

Jiao Niang replied embarrassedly: "I tried to make it, and I don't know what it's called." ”

Liu Xiu pondered for a while and said, "It's the middle of the night, and it's also the time to enter the 'Jiaozi' of Zishi, so let's call it 'Jiaozi'!" ”

In this way, eating this boiled food on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve "Jiaozi" first spread in this area.

Because this food is delicious, people not only eat it on Chinese New Year's Eve, but also use it to entertain relatives and friends and improve their lives.

And because it is a kind of food, in order to distinguish the "jiaozi" used in timekeeping, people have added a "food" to the word "jiao", which has become the current "dumpling".

Over time, the custom of eating dumplings during the Spring Festival was formed in the Central Plains.

Later, Liu Xiu ascended the throne and became the emperor. Remembering that he hid in the dwarf forest on the bank of the Qingliang River in Jianjin Prefecture and ate dumplings at the old Han's house, he named that dwarf forest as "Zao Wang Forest" and the village where the old Han lived as "Zao Wang Forest Village". He also issued an order to summon the old man and his aunt to enter the palace to be sealed.

At this time, the old man had passed away, and the aunt also married her husband and had children, and lived a peasant life of a male farmer and a female weaver. Where are you willing to reveal this period of the past, and ask for this reward that I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse!

The errand officer couldn't find anyone, so he had to report that "there is no such person" and handed over the emperor's errand.

During the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, Wu Anliu moved from Bierzhuang in Qingzhou to Zangwanglin Village and opened a sugar mill, and the business was very prosperous. The name of the village was changed to Sugar Forest. Later, it was written as the current Tanglin.

It is said that Tanglin got its name because it was next to the Zao Forest. Qi Xiaoting's previous life is modern, Zao Wang Lin is no longer there, only Tanglin Village can still remind people of Zao Wang Lin.

The township government changed several times and later became Tanglin Town. The government has also become the town government, which is a later story.
