"Hutian Village...... the shopkeeper of the grain store dragged out his voice, his face full of confusion, "Why is it Hutian Village?" The people of your village are not ......"

The people of Hutian Village know that they are not welcomed, so they try not to walk outside, and if they really go out, they will not report their home.

Therefore, there are almost no stabs like Xu Huaiyi who said it, so that the shopkeeper couldn't help but wonder if it was another village with the same name.

Xu Huaiyi's expression was blank and innocent, "What's wrong with Hutian Village?" ”

The shopkeeper looked at him, was he pretending to be crazy and stupid, "You don't know? ”

Xu Huaiyi shook his head and said frankly, "We are the victims who fled from Qingzhou, and we were assigned to Hutian Village by the official, and we have just settled down, what can we know?" ”

The shopkeeper suddenly realized, "Oh, so that's the case, then you guys are really ......" It's too unlucky, it's not good, and you have fallen into the fire pit.

Facing the shopkeeper's sympathetic gaze, Xu Huaiyi pretended to be puzzled, "Is there something wrong with this village?" Please also ask the shopkeeper to mention one or two. ”

The most reluctant thing to do business is to provoke right and wrong, so even if the shopkeeper knows, he wants to share the gossip, but in the end he restrained himself, he smiled dryly and waved his hand, "There's nothing wrong with it, if you come, you will be safe, hehe, what, I will let the guy send you the beans, you can rest assured." ”

"Then thank you shopkeeper."

Out of the grain shop, Gu Huanxi said thoughtfully, "The matter of Hutian Village is so widely spread, not only the people in the countryside know about it, but even the people in the city have heard about it, but although it seems to be a little repulsive, it is not so taboo, which is better than the result I expected......"

She originally thought that Hutian Village was an ominous place for people to be secretive and talk about it, and the people didn't dare to step into whoever was unlucky, but now that she looks at it, it's not so exaggerated.

Xu Huaiyi said meaningfully, "After all, it's been five years. ”

Gu Huanxi thought about it for a while, and then understood, whether it was fear or panic, no matter what emotions have faded after five years, besides, nothing has happened in Hutian Village in the past five years, saying that people are cursed, ominous, and unlucky, there must be some basis, it is rumors, and there must be some clues, but over the years, let alone causing trouble, the people in Hutian Village are low-key and sometimes make people forget their existence.

I bought 500 catties of beans, and I didn't spend much silver, so the two of them took the children into the bookstore again, and this is the place where the silver is burned.

The scale of the bookstore they entered is not small, but the name is quite straightforward and simple, it is called Wenmo Pavilion, after entering, there are rows of bookshelves in sight, and even the fragrance of books and ink wafting in the air, Gu Huanxi smelled this smell and only felt relaxed, Xu Huaiyi was sad and sad, and his mood was as heavy as going to the grave.

"Think about what happened just now, and be happy." Gu Huanxi couldn't help but laugh and reminded in a low voice, "What are you honing for?" Isn't it just for reading? ”

So who do you show with a bitter face now?

Xu Huaiyi rubbed his stiff face, barely squeezed out a smile, walked towards the bookshelf as if he were dead, and began to look for the books he needed.

Gu Huanxi took the child to help find it, and she was not in a hurry, she stopped and looked through it for a while when she saw something she was interested in, in her previous life, her favorite place to visit was a bookstore, which could make people's hearts peaceful.

When she watched, Ah Li's eyes widened as if she could understand.

Gu Xiaoyu followed Xu Huaiyi's side, he was the fastest to find books, and after a while, he helped to collect all the seven books of the Martial Arts Classic, namely "The Art of War", "The Art of War of Wu Zi", "Liutao", "Sima The Art of War", "Shi Gong's Three Strategies", "Wei Yizi", "Li Weigong Asks Right", these seven books are textbooks that must be learned in the martial arts examination, which are of great significance.

Xu Huaiyi was holding this thick stack of books in his arms, and he felt that his waist was not straight, "Do you need to buy so much?" I, I won't need it for a while, will I? I heard that I don't need to write any strategies for the martial arts academy, as long as I know a little about the art of war, I can read and write, and the most important inspection item is martial arts, which is the key to winning or losing......"

Gu Huanxi was unmoved, "Sooner or later, I have to use it, I don't feel sorry for spending money, are you still crooked?" Besides, where is this going, it's just seven books, you see those who are bored and admitted to the Jinshi, people read more than five times more than you, be content, and if you are crooked, I will also make up the four books and five classics for you, so that you can have both civil and military skills. ”

"Don't, don't, I was wrong, plus the Four Books and Five Classics, it will kill people's ......"

"Hmph, I don't know how to be blessed in the midst of blessings." She wanted to read it, but she didn't have a chance.

Xu Huaiyi touched his nose, didn't dare to say anything, and went to the counter to check out the bill with the book, and the other party didn't need to fiddle with the abacus, so he opened his mouth and reported a number.

Twenty-six taels!

Strange ancient reading costs silver, ordinary people need to raise the strength of the whole family to provide a child to study, not to mention paper and pencils, just buy books, you can't afford it, twenty-six taels, are enough for a year's living expenses.

Gu Huanxi's flesh hurt, but it didn't show it on his face.

As for Xu Huaiyi, he was worried about reading so many books, and he didn't care about the money, so he was very happy to pay for the money.

The reaction of the two people, inevitably let the shopkeeper take a few more looks, originally this family of four appeared in the bookstore This kind of place is a little eye-catching, look at the dress, neither rich people, nor like a reader, especially with a daughter-in-law, this situation is too rare, many people are curious to look, but people are not uncomfortable, how to do it, now the checkout is also, the expression is calm and calm, so much silver, the brows are not wrinkled.

Is it deliberately dressed in a low-key way to hide his true identity?

Out of the bookstore, Xu Huaiyi exhaled deeply, "Daughter-in-law, I have a conflict with this kind of place, and I can't come back in the future." ”

Gu Huanxi snorted, "Why don't you say that you are competing with the student?" ”

Xu Huaiyi's face tightened, and he quickly changed the topic, "What, daughter-in-law, are you hungry?" Let's find a place to eat, and then go to the broken temple to invite monks when we are full. ”

Gu Huanxi said "um", lowered his head and asked Gu Xiaoyu, "What do you want to eat?" ”

Gu Xiaoyu said, "Sons can do it, listen to their mother." ”

Gu Huanxi thought for a while, "Then let's buy some steamed buns and go to the car to eat, Wei Ci is still guarding the parking lot, and I don't know if anyone is finding fault......

Life is not familiar, there are really people who find fault, and they only have to suffer.

Xu Huaiyi nodded in response, and hurriedly went to buy more than a dozen steamed buns that had just come out of the cage, all of which were filled with meat and vegetarian fillings, and the family of four carried the other things they bought and walked to the parking place.

Luckily, nothing.

However, Wei Ci is a little girl in the end, looking at the car alone, facing such a 'heavy responsibility', she is still quite nervous, and she is relieved to see them come back.

The car slowly left the city. (End of chapter)
