Wang Chuan wiped a handful of water from his face and said indignantly: "You shrew! Our family is giving you face when they see you, and your family is now poor and white, so don't be embarrassed. ”

"Whoa!" Another basin of water was spilled out, and it happened to be poured on Wang Chuan's body.

"Poof~ Hahahaha, Brother Wang is so miserable!" I don't know whose child laughed on the side of the road, and the childish voice was innocent.

"Take a pee and see what you look like!" Qiao Xuan walked out of the door, clasped his arms and mocked Wang Chuan.

"It's ugly, and it's beautiful!"

Wang Chuan's thin body trembled slightly, it was obvious that he was angry, Xi Yan came out with a broom and waved it, "Get out!" Get out of here! ”

Wang Chuan threw down a vicious look and ran away, these two shrews he had to clean them up sooner or later.

The people who watched the excitement saw that there was no excitement to watch, and then dispersed.

Qiao Xuan and Xi Yan returned to the courtyard.

"Why don't we stay in the village? Go to the town and find a rich family to be a maid! Food, shelter, and wages," Xi Yan sat on the stool in frustration and proposed in a muffled voice.

Qiao Xuan: "......"

"It feels like someone comes to the door every day to deliberately find fault and bully us," Xi Yan saw that Qiao Xuan didn't speak, trying to persuade and persuade her to change her mind.

Qiao Xuan coughed lightly and cleared his throat, "Don't do it!" I'm used to being free and casual, but I can't live a life where I'm instructed to go and be yelled at. ”

It's nice to be a villager in a small mountain village, she likes it.

"So what are we going to do? Somebody have to find a way to live! Xi Yan sighed helplessly, "Do you have a farm at home?" ”

Qiao Xuan nodded first and then shook his head, "There is land, but there is no planting." ”

The original owner's family had land, but before he only picked the best piece to grow some vegetables.

Xi Yan held her forehead and began to worry about her next life.

"Don't worry! I'll take you to earn money tomorrow" Qiao Xuan patted Xi Yan's arm a little unbearably and comforted him.

Xi Yan didn't believe that Qiao Xuan, a girl younger than herself, could have an idea, but thinking of her ability to say something and what spirits, she felt that she could believe her.

In the evening, the two picked some vegetables from the vegetable garden, cooked a pot of vegetable soup and went to rest after drinking.

In the town, under the eaves of a fat powder shop, Qiao Xuan and Xi Yan took umbrellas and stood under the eaves to avoid the rain.

"Why can't you change the day? I have to come to town on a rainy day" Xi Yan shook the water droplets on the umbrella and asked a little puzzled.

Her feet were wet, her shoes were soaked, and Qiao Xuan's whole person was also very uncomfortable, she stomped her feet, "Don't miss the opportunity and don't come again!" If you want to make money, you have to come to town today. ”

The light rain was dripping, there were few pedestrians on the streets, and the occasional passerby was running home quickly with umbrellas.

"Two little ladies come in and take shelter from the rain! It's cold outside. ”

The proprietress who was about to close the door couldn't bear it when she saw Qiao Xuan and Xi Yan at the door, and greeted them with a smile.

Xi Yan looked at Qiao Xuan, Qiao Xuan nodded imperceptibly, and said with a smile: "Then it's going to make trouble for the boss lady!" ”

The fat powder shop is not big, but it is very clean, the air is full of a faint fragrance, and the counter made of wood is low and low, so that people can see all kinds of rouge gouache in it at a glance.

The proprietress took out two low stools from the back, "Sit casually!" ”

Qiao Xuan thanked Xi Yan and sat down.

"Where are you from? Why don't you go home on a rainy day and still take shelter outside from the rain? "The hostess was very welcoming, but her smiling face was a little pale.

"Taoyuan Village," Qiao Xuan replied.

The proprietress 's expression changed, Taoyuan Village? It was a notorious village, and she regretted letting the two girls in front of her in.

Xi Yan bowed her head in embarrassment, the boss's expression changed too quickly and obviously, and it was difficult to see it.

Qiao Xuan was very calm, she looked around the shop, and said quietly: "Someone in the boss's house suddenly got sick?" ”

The proprietress was stunned, her eyes were half suspicious and half vigilant, "No—no." ”

Qiao Xuan rubbed his chin with his fingers and sighed helplessly.

"Why did the girl say that?" The proprietress asked in a low voice with her lips moving.

"The hostess said no, then no! Just when I'm talking nonsense" After finishing speaking, Qiao Xuan looked at the drizzle on the street outside, and had no intention of continuing to speak.

The three of them sat quietly, but the proprietress was obviously absent-minded.

Xi Yan didn't say much, her eyes rolled around, and she secretly pondered Qiao Xuan's intentions in her heart.

After sitting for a while, the proprietress got up as if inadvertently, lifted the curtain of a small door in the shop and disappeared.

Seeing this, Xi Yan quietly tugged at the corner of Qiao Xuan's clothes, Qiao Xuan shook her head silently, signaling her not to make a sound.

Soon, there was a slight sound of footsteps, and the proprietress walked out of the small door with a man.

Qiao Xuan and Xi Yan immediately got up and spoke before they could greet the man, "What the girl said is right!" ”

"My son suddenly fell ill after returning from the academy last month, and the doctor in the town invited him all over and drank a lot of various medicines, but it didn't have any effect at all, I wonder if the girl can save my son?"

Xu is really helpless, the man can only come to see Qiao Xuan with the idea of giving it a try in despair.

"Take me to see him!"

Qiao Xuan's gaze swept over the man's face, and the two people in front of him looked like loyal and benevolent people, and she was willing to help them.

"Okay, please come with me, you two."

The man made a gesture of please, and led Qiao Xuan and them into the small door, and the proprietress closed the rouge shop in the back and followed.

The backyard was cleaned clean and tidy, and Qiao Xuan looked around and found nothing abnormal.

"This is my son's bedroom," said the hostess, pointing to one room.

Qiao Xuan looked at Xi Yan, "You wait for me here." ”

Xi Yan nodded worriedly.

The man on the bed had sunken eyes, his face was pale and bloodless, and he was lying straight on the bed with his eyes closed.

"What's wrong with my son?" The proprietress wiped her tears and asked, she only has this one son, if something happens to him, their family will be over.

Qiao Xuan's eyes narrowed, and his fingers quickly ripped a red rope from the man's neck, and a piece of jade carved jade was tied to the rope.

"What is this?" The man standing next to him looked puzzled.

"Do you know who gave it to him?" Qiao Xuan threw the jade pendant on the low table beside him in disgust, turned his head and asked the couple.
