Chapter 7 I rejoiced
After Xi Quan came in, he stood in front of the window, looked at the falling snow, and sighed heavily.
I was also thinking that the first heavy snow after the beginning of spring in the previous life was in summer.
The weather is unpredictable, and as I told you, if it snows, it should not be underestimated.
In Xi Quan's memory, the snow disaster of the previous life emerged, and many villagers froze to death.
In this life, he is afraid of the coming of the blizzard, and what is even more afraid is that Zhu Yanqu and her three children.
He turned and looked at the villagers who were waiting for him to speak.
and his brothers Xi Huai and Xi Qian, who were standing beside him, and his cousin Shen Kai, who was in a hurry.
Seeing him turn around, Shen Kai first came to Xi Quan's side, and said anxiously: "Ouch, brother, are you willing to turn around?" ”
"Ouch!" When Shen Kai's words fell, he covered the back of his head and looked at Xi Huai who knocked him on the back of the head with a smile.
"Xi Huai, Xi Qian, you and you each take six Xi family soldiers to hunt with the hunting team in the village to ensure that there is enough meat."
"Understood." Xi Huai and Xi Qian were busy with their heads, and without further ado, they walked out from the road they let out.
Xi Quan looked at Yan Qingzhong, "You go to stabilize the hearts of the people, so that the old and young women and children don't mess up." ”
-
Zhu Yanqu was on the side with Yan Qiaoxin, listening to Xi Quan's arrangement, and waiting for the people in the room to be less.
Xi Quan came to Yan Qiaoxin's side, and he whispered: "You go back and tell your second uncle that you will trouble him to weave six baskets for me." ”
Yan Qiaoxin was a little stunned, "Excuse me, what can I do?" ”
"When the time comes, you will help her with whatever I wish the girl to do."
Yan Qiaoxin looked at Zhu Yanqu, bowed slightly, and responded to Xi Quan's words.
"Okay, then I'll go back and talk to my second uncle about weaving a back basket."
When Yan Qiaoxin left, only Zhu Yanqu and Shen Qi were left in the house.
Xi Quan looked at Shen Qi and said in a low voice: "You go and see what those vendors are doing?" ”
When Shen Kai heard this, he looked up at Xi Quan in confusion, his eyebrows and eyes furrowed.
"Brother, didn't you just come back from there?"
Shen Kai muttered and got up, walked to Xi Quan's side, looked him up and down, pursed his lips and smiled: "Okay, I'll go now." ”
"You ......" Zhu Yanqu looked at Shen Kai's departing figure, and heard it from his words: "You just asked Yan Qingzhong to stabilize the hearts of the people, not including the vendors?" ”
Xi Quan raised his eyes and went to see the restrained Zhu Yanqu.
"Well, no." Xi Quan brought the haystack to Zhu Yanqu and motioned for her to sit down.
Zhu Yanqu didn't have the heart to sit down, she looked up at Xi Quan: "You called me here to let me know these people?" ”
There was a gentle smile in Xi Quan's eyebrows: "The girl is smart, Shen Kai is a doctor, and he often interacts with the vendors, and he can get the words out of the eyes of the vendors." ”
Zhu Yanqu had a question: "When the traders come here, what are their advantages?" ”
"There are many advantages, and in their eyes, a grain of soil can become a sale. Poor villagers are different, they have been digging in the soil for many years since they were young, and they don't know a few words, so they have a narrow cognition, and they will panic even more when disaster strikes. ”
"How can you be sure that this snow is a disaster?" Zhu Yanqu's eyes had already looked out of the door, and he wanted to take back the words he had just spoken, but he was too late.
The snow outside is up to an adult's ankle.
Xi Quan walked to the door, understood that Zhu Yanqu's mind was not here, looked back at her, and said softly: "They are afraid of natural disasters, and they are even more afraid of man-made disasters." ”
Zhu Yanqu knew it in his heart, and when he got under the eaves, he suddenly stopped and looked back at him.
"Excuse me, what can I do if you called me?"
"I have seen the girl's methods, and I have heard the girl speak elegantly, reasonably, and not afraid of difficulties. I need someone like you. ”
Zhu Yanqu endured the cold wind, and still wanted to ask clearly, otherwise he would not feel at ease living here with his three children.
Zhu Yanqu asked him tentatively: "I heard that you have the Xi family army, and your own brothers here, just with your martial arts and knowledge, you can live freely, and there are barbarian natives here, why do you care about so many people?" ”
"Even if it is not in the world of the Song Kingdom, they are still the people of the Song Kingdom, I want to defend this last Song country for my uncle and aunt, the barbarian natives, they are also people, they are fresh lives, and they can't be careless of human life."
Zhu Yanqu looked at him in surprise, heroic, Queen Xi, who went into battle to kill the enemy, was it his aunt?
Xi Quan looked at Zhu Yanqu, who didn't speak, and smiled softly.
Zhu Yanqu looked at him, his mind was heavy: "How do you want to plan for the future?" ”
"Future?" Xi Quan pondered these two words, looked at the ice and snow outside, and then withdrew his gaze and stared at Zhu Yanqu.
"One is food, the other is peace, this is what I want most at the moment."
got Xi Quan's response, and wished Yanqu to be silent for a while.
"I have the same goal as you, no matter what the weather, I can find good food, but the process is harder."
Hearing her words, Xi Quan's frowning brows stretched and took a step forward.
"We have surveyed, but we have found no other edible crops except for all kinds of bamboo shoots and potatoes, fish and shrimp in streams, wild fruits and vegetables in mountains and forests, and undomesticated animals."
Zhu Yanqu looked at the sincerity in his eyes and smiled comfortably:
"On the way I came, in the southwest direction, there is a mud pond, there is jade lotus root in the pond, and there is taro outside the pond, and the growth is intricate."
"It's just ......" Zhu Yanqu smiled bitterly and looked at Xi Quan: "There are more than ten days of travel, but now it is cold and snowy, and it is inconvenient to travel, and the journey will be delayed." ”
Xi Quan looked at her, listening to what she said, but he extracted some news from these words.
He asked, "How long have you been walking in the forest with your child?" ”
Zhu Yanqu lowered his eyes, his shoulders drooped a little, and rubbed his cold hands.
"Fifteen or six days, I thought I was in a no-man's land, or maybe I was on the wrong path."
Zhu Yanqu raised his eyes and looked at Xi Quan, who had doubts on his face, and didn't say anything more to him.
"The child is waiting for me at home, and I will say goodbye first."
-
Seeing Zhu Yanqu's back, Xi Quan stood at the door and muttered: "Fifteen or six days? ”
If you meet her in the bamboo forest according to the memory of the previous life, it will be the third day when she has just arrived in this wilderness!
How did it take so many days?
In the past two months, I have experienced the hardships and hardships here.
She has to fight against the infested beasts and protect her three young children.
Xi Quan's face was calm, until a shaking hand appeared in front of him, came back to his senses, and looked at Shen Kai indifferently.
"Big cousin, what are you doing standing at the door?"
Shen Kai rubbed his frozen arms, walked to the edge of the fire pit and sat down, saw the remaining flames in the fire pit, and let out a long breath.
"I know that Miss Zhu has a cold and jade temperament, which can't be compared with the rich daughters you've seen, and I am happy when I see it. But you can't put out the fire! ”
Xi Quan ignored his broken thoughts and sat on the haystack beside him.
"Are we overlooking something?"
"Ignore?" Shen Kai was adding firewood to the fire pit, looked up at Xi Quan, who was very serious, and asked in a low voice: "For example...... Where? ”
