Yan Qiaoxin stopped, looked at Zhu Yanqu with a smile, and saw from her expression that she was not interested in this matter.

She replied softly: "There is a forest not far from the bamboo forest, and there are a lot of hairy potatoes there. ”

When I arrived at the place where Yan Qiaoxin said, there were many people standing on the hillside.

Zhu Yanqu saw Yan Qiaoxin standing beside him, and explained in a low voice: "The two standing next to Lord Xi are his two younger brothers, and there is a ......."

Yan Qiaoxin's eyes looked down and smiled at Zhu Yanqu: "The one who is squatting is his cousin." ”

Zhu Yanqu bowed slightly, just glanced at it roughly, and felt that the corners of his clothes sank.

Looking down, I saw Zhu Xingguo tugging at the corner of his clothes, looking up with his head up, and his eyes were very bright.

"Auntie, look." Zhu Xingguo's finger pointed to the ground, where the roots of the potatoes were exposed in the shaved soil.

"It's a yam."

Zhu Yanqu looked at the smile on Zhu Xingguo's face, reached out to rub his forehead, bent down and said to him gently.

"Well, your task is still to take care of your younger siblings, and I'll dig it."

Yan Qiaoxin watched from the side, smiling on her delicate face.

"I wish the girl, you can rest assured, there are a lot of people here, and the child will be fine."

Zhu Yanqu looked back at her, with gratitude in his eyes: "Hmm." ”

-

Yan Qiaoxin and Zhu Yanqu found a place to squat down and dig hairy potatoes together.

Yan Qiaoxin smiled and asked, "Does the girl call this yam over there?" ”

"Hmm." Zhu Yanqu hesitated a little, reacted, and asked Yan Qiaoxin: "I thought the potatoes you said were taro!" ”

Hearing this, Yan Qiaoxin pursed his lips and smiled, and reached out to pull the grass vines on the ground, "I think it's just that the names of various places are different." ”

Yan Qiaoxin saw that everyone was concentrating on shaving the potatoes.

Most of them were women and children, old and young, and the men went to the front to see if there were any wild beasts.

Yan Qiaoxin leaned into Zhu Yanqu's ear and lowered his voice:

"You just came, there are a lot of people you don't know, you can get to know each other slowly. Only the girl surnamed Xu named Peach, you don't care. ”

Zhu Yanqu looked at Shangyan Qiaoxin's cautious eyes, and while picking up the vines of the hairy potato, he bowed slightly: "Okay." ”

-

The back basket he brought was full of hairy potatoes, and Zhu Yanqu also withdrew his hand, and was lifting the strap and carrying it to his shoulder.

A pair of bloodstained hands were quickly removed from her hands.

Left a suffocating sentence, and the voice was very familiar.

"This Shen, I'll bring it back for you."

Zhu Yanqu looked at the burly figure, only to feel that the face was raw, and the eyes were very familiar.

Zhu Yanqu saw that he was walking fast, so he hurriedly hugged Gu Huayue and instructed the two little boys to follow.

When he was still some distance away from the bamboo house, the other party was already waiting at the door.

Zhu Yanqu was very puzzled by this person's words and deeds, and was not familiar with it, so he had only met twice.

Yan Qiaoxin was also shocked by this person's words and deeds, and when she saw Zhu Yanqu's footsteps stop, her eyebrows frowned slightly.

"He is the leader of the Sui tribe, and Lord Xi said that there can only be one ruler in a place. He surrendered himself and is now the patriarch of the Liangwan tribe of the Sui tribe. ”

Zhu Yanqu listened to it and didn't respond, but put down Gu Huayue first and strode forward.

"It's all here." Jiang Ping saw her coming, and smiled innocently: "You are busy first." ”

Looking at the back of the other party leaving, Zhu Yanqu was puzzled.

-

While cleaning the potatoes by the stream, a very light question came from Zhu Yanqu's ears.

"Auntie, is this called yam or hairy potato?"

"Just follow the locals."

Zhu Xingguo stared at the washed potatoes and bowed his head in a daze: "I know, aunt." ”

"Auntie, that person is so strange!"

Zhu Yanqu picked up the washed hairy potatoes, thought of the patriarch of the Sui tribe, and smiled helplessly: "We haven't thanked people yet!" ”

Zhu Xingguo's eyes lit up slightly: "He gave us warm animal skins and helped us carry the potatoes back." ”

Zhu Xingguo suddenly grabbed the corner of Zhu Yanqu's clothes and whispered, "Auntie, Master Xi is here!" ”

Following the direction pointed by Zhu Xingguo, Zhu Yanqu stopped.

Xi Quan was walking this way, still carrying meat wrapped in banana leaves.

You can smell blood from afar.

"Wild boar, bring you some."

Xi Quan handed the meat to Zhu Yanqu and saw that it was inconvenient for her to have it.

Whispered, "I'll send you home." ”

Zhu Yanqu pursed his lips and was silent for a while: "You, have something to find me?" ”

Xi Quan's eyes narrowed slightly, looked down at her, and bowed his head slightly: "It's something, looking for you." ”

Zhu Yanqu glanced at Zhu Xingguo, and his voice was very low: "You go back first." ”

Zhu Xingguo tilted his head, looked at Xi Quan carefully, and confirmed that he would not hurt his aunt before turning around and leaving.

Seeing this, Xi Quan smiled: "This kid is very well-behaved!" ”

"Hmmm! He's always been well-behaved! Zhu Yan's song sent Zhu Xingguo's back to the bamboo house.

Zhu Xingguo, who arrived at the door of the bamboo house, was still standing at the door, looking this way.

Zhu Yanqu looked back, went to see Xi Quan, and saw that he wanted to speak and stopped.

Zhu Yanqu put the washed potatoes into the warm water in the ding, and explained a few words to Zhu Xingguo.

Then he turned around and walked towards the door.

When Xi Quan saw her, he unconsciously had a smile in his eyes, and handed her the wild boar again.

"You come to me tonight with the Yan family's uncle and nephew."

Zhu Yanqu hesitated to take the wild boar, and suddenly some white ones flew in front of him, and when he looked up, the sky was full of snow.

Xi Quan noticed Feixue, and his voice was calm, "Don't wait until evening, Miss Zhu, you come with me now, and we will discuss some safety precautions after the snow." ”

Zhu Yanqu glanced back at the three children in the bamboo house, and they all looked at each other with a blank eye.

In just a few moments, a thin layer of snow fell on the ground.

The cold wind was raging, and a gust of wind suddenly blew in my ears.

Zhu Yanqu picked up the pork and put it back, and repeatedly instructed the child.

-

As soon as Zhu Yanqu arrived at the door of Xi Quan's house, he saw three people coming out of it, recalling what Yan Qiaoxin had said.

bowed to them, and still stood at the door.

I saw that the flat land, which was still covered with green grass, was quickly covered with snow.

When digging the potato, I heard Yan Qiaoxin talk about it.

This is the beginning of spring, and the flowers of the peach and pear trees have been defeated.

It's just that, according to experienced old people, the weather is unpredictable.

Zhu Yanqu rubbed his arms and looked up at the falling snow, and at the same time, there was a heavy and noisy footstep.

Most of the people who entered the door of Xi's house were men, and they all glanced at Zhu Yanqu who was standing at the door.

Zhu Yanqu didn't pay attention to these, his heart was full of children.

Yan Qiaoxin came over with a robe, and was slightly stunned when she saw Zhu Yanqu standing at the door and not entering.

put down the robe, stepped forward to hold her arm, and there was panic in his voice: "Let's go in too, and see how the adults give a way?" ”

Zhu Yanqu looked at the hands on his arms, his fingers were covered with frostbite scars, and he looked strange.

Yan Qiaoxin smiled awkwardly, slowly retracted his hand, and just stood beside Zhu Yanqu.

At this time, Xi Quan came back and stayed in front of the two of them for a while.

After looking at Zhu Yanqu twice, his voice was very deep: "Come in, it's cold outside." ”
