Chapter 70: Sending Sugar
Xiao Ayu's shout attracted other people in the village, and everyone also followed to the cliff to look down, and sure enough, they saw a carriage there. "Hey, how come a carriage comes to our village?"
"You're from our village, right? Walk relatives? β
"It shouldn't be our local people, who have traveled a long way."
There are two roads at the entrance of Hujia Village, one leading to the outside world and the other leading to the river.
If you go around the river, you can also go to the outside world, but you have to go up a long way.
The locals don't leave.
Moreover, the road can only be under the cliff, and people can go up by stone ladders, but the carriage and donkey cart cannot.
While everyone was talking, there were already curious children running down the cliff.
"Little brother! Good looking little brother! Xiao Ayu was already very happy, her little hand kept waving, and she also wanted to follow her to the bottom of the cliff to greet Qin Huai.
Everyone stopped Xiao Ayu, the mountain road is difficult to walk, but don't fall this little bean ding.
Qin Huai and the others also got off the carriage and realized that this road could not go directly to Hujia Village, and if they wanted to let the carriage go too, they would have to go around for another half an hour.
The coachman looked embarrassed: "Two sons, if you take a detour again, I won't be able to go home in time." β
It's dark and the road is slippery, and he's afraid.
By this time, the children in the village had already jumped down and ran down.
The children ran fast, and it was only a stick of incense to go down the mountain, and they gathered around the carriage with great curiosity.
These children had never traveled far, and the most well-informed of them had not been to the town.
There aren't many carriages in town, and not everyone is qualified to ride them, which is a rarity.
"Wow, this is a horse, how do I think it's similar to the village chief's donkey?"
"This car looks so big! Much more than a donkey cart! β
"It can shelter from the wind, it can shelter from the rain, hey, the grain will not get wet!"
There are also people who are curious about Qin Huai.
"Sister Ayu said he was good-looking, really."
"Fart, it's obvious that his clothes are good-looking! If I had such beautiful clothes, I would look good too! β
"You've got boogers all over your face! Others are so clean, where do you look good? β
"It's just beautiful!"
Qin Huai ignored all the sounds around him, he just glanced at the villain who was still bouncing on the cliff.
I was inexplicably happy.
She looks really fit.
It's just a little smaller, like a cat.
Qin Huai stepped on the stone stairs and walked up the cliff step by step.
Here, the driver did not agree to the detour.
Chijia skillfully took out the silver and threw it into the coachman's arms: "We bought the carriage and transported the things." β
There were quite a few other things in the car.
The coachman was embarrassed: "This-"
Another ingot of silver was thrown over.
The coachman's mouth was grinning: "Okay! You go up first, and I'll help you get the wagon up!" What a big deal, we are not greedy for your money, we are naturally warm-hearted! β
As for why you can't go home after dark, let's talk about it!
Chijia nodded: "Hmm." β
He had barely taken two steps when he heard the driver shouting, "I have sugar here, and whoever helps me bring it will give it candy!" β
"I'm !!"
The coachman grabbed another handful of copper plates and said in a loud voice: "Go back and tell your lords, come and make every effort to move the carriage, ten people, two copper plates per person!" β
One of the children was already running away: "I'm going to call my dad right away!" β
Red armor, who lost twenty taels of silver: "......" felt it on the spot, what is the sinister heart of people.
Qin Huai walked on the stone ladder step by step, because it was a stone ladder built by the villagers themselves, so it didn't look very regular.
Some were long, some were short, some were thick, some were thin, and they were different from what he was used to.
He remembered that one year, his mother took him to Puji Temple to offer incense, and the 1,000 and 8 beautiful stone steps were also walked up step by step.
But at that time, he didn't think about anything in his heart, didn't want to pray to God, didn't want to worship Buddha, just walked numbly.
And now, he endured the pain of tearing in his chest, and wanted to laugh instead.
Although the life of the past seven years was short, it really borered him.
In the last three months, he wanted to be willful again.
Just once.
"Childe, do you want your subordinates to take you up?" The Red Armor followed.
Qin Huai shook his head.
He wanted to walk around on his own.
After walking for a long time, Qin Huai felt that his legs were gradually losing sensation.
"Ahem, ahemβ"
He couldn't help coughing again, blood foaming uncontrollably from the corners of his mouth, and he skillfully took out his handkerchief and wiped the blood away.
Looking left and right, there were verdant trees everywhere, and unknown wildflowers, and birds hid their shadows and sang secretly.
I don't know where to throw the blood-stained dirty veil.
He simply put it away and stuffed it back into his arms.
Red Armor frowned.
The blood was darker again.
"Little brother! I'm here! Xiao Ayu's excited voice sounded.
The spring breeze blows away the dull atmosphere.
Qin Huai didn't raise his head, but clenched his fists and exhaled lowly.
Lift your numb foot and step by step upwards.
Xiao Ayu finally saw Qin Huai climb to the last few steps, and she was very happy.
When Qin Huai came up completely, Xiao Ayu almost didn't think about it, and rushed over directly and hugged him.
"Little brother, are you here to see Ayu? Are you here to see Ayu? Right! Do you miss Ayu? Ayu misses you so much! β
Qin Huai climbed hundreds of stone stairs, and his whole body was weak, even if Xiao Ayu was small, he couldn't catch it.
The two fell to the ground with a pop, and Qin Huai subconsciously stretched out his hand to protect her little head.
"Whew! Ass hurts! β
Xiao Ayu covered her little buttocks, sat up quickly, and went to pull Qin Huai again.
Qin Huai avoided her little paws and got up as well.
"I'm sorry, Ayu was wrong......" Little Ayu was very weak-hearted, she was overjoyed.
Qin Huai glanced at her and didn't speak, and Xiao Ayu became even more empty-hearted.
She doesn't know why, she's so happy to see her little brother, so happy, she won't make her little brother angry?
The two fell into the grass, and the adults around saw it and came to watch.
"Ayu, are you okay? Did the fall hurt? Old lady Hu asked hurriedly.
"Grandpa, Ayu is fine." Xiao Ayu patted her paws and held them up to show Old Lady Hu, "It doesn't hurt at all!" β
Chijia watched from the side, with no intention of helping.
Childe doesn't like to be helped.
The children carrying things in the back also came up one after another, some of them holding a small pot of flowers in their hands, some holding a pot of tea, and some carrying a pair of shoes.
Hum, put things on the stone table under the yellow horn tree.
Hu Sanpang was also among them, he spread out a piece of candy he had obtained, bit it hard with his teeth, and then wiped the saliva on it indiscriminately, and handed it to Xiao Ayu.
"Sister Ayu, come, eat sugar, it's sweet!"
For the farmer, sugar is a rare good thing.
Even, sugar is a medicine.
If anyone in the family is weak, drink some sugar water and raise it for two days, and the complexion will be fine.
Therefore, children cherish this hard-won candy very much, and are reluctant to give it to adults, let alone share it.
Wang Sanpang was also reluctant, but Sister Ayu was so well-behaved, he was reluctant to give it up.
"Thank you, Brother Sanfat!"
Xiao Ayu was about to take it immediately, but Xianli stretched out a hand and stopped her.
It's Qin Huai.
"Little brother?"
Qin Huai still didn't speak, but he put his other hand into his arms and took out a paper bag.
opened it in front of Xiao Ayu, and there was a sugar gourd lying inside.
Because the journey was so long, the icing outside had almost melted.
There is still a bunch of hawthorns left.
Qin Huai handed it to Xiao Ayu and motioned for her to continue.
Xiao Ayu looked at Qin Huai, then at the sugar gourd, then at Qin Huai, and then at the sugar gourd.
Wow cried out.
Qin Huai: Was she crying with joy?
Little Ayu: My little brother really doesn't like me anymore! Woo woo, let me eat the sour fruit...... Woowoo......
