『Volume 1: The Volume of Water』 "Mountain Flowers Gradually Become Charming Eyes" Chapter 4 Correct financial management methods
It wasn't long before a scream came from outside the house. Xu Shaofeng, who was recuperating and pranayama, was once again pierced by the magic sound.
It turned out that Lu Xiaohua remembered with annoyance that tomorrow would be the day of the town's market, but she didn't stock up many mountain goods, and she used up all the herbs, so she had nothing to sell. And the grain is also eaten up, and it must be bought at the bazaar.
Resisting the urge to draw his sword, Xu Shaofeng asked what was going on, and said with a dark face: "Isn't there money in the money bag I gave you?
Lu Xiaohua said: "Money is to be saved, how can you use it casually." In her heart, money should be saved.
"If you want to use it, you can use it!" Xu Shaofeng's face became even darker, this little mountain girl was really unreasonable.
"If it weren't for the fact that you ran out of stock, I wouldn't have run out of goods to sell in this market, and I wouldn't have run out of money to buy things. Lu Xiaohua felt that the idea of people in the rivers and lakes spending money indiscriminately was really unreasonable.
"The money bag is with you, and you can spend the money in it as you please. ”
"No, you can't spend money in your bag!"
"Why not?"
"Money has to be saved, you can't just spend it randomly!" Lu Xiaohua once again said his views on money.
"The money is given to you, it's yours, and you can spend it as you please. Xu Shaofeng held back his anger and reasoned with her.
"The money is given to me, it's mine, I just don't spend it, I want to save it!" Lu Xiaohua pushed back.
"Then don't go shopping!" Xu Shaofeng felt that he was about to be driven crazy by this unreasonable little girl.
"No, if you don't buy some food and come back, we'll just wait to starve to death together!"
"Then take the money and buy it!"
"Money can't be spent indiscriminately. ”
......
Finally, Xu Shaofeng was forced to go crazy by Lu Xiaohua's illogical words, and drew his sword again, "Are you finished!"
Lu Xiaohua looked at his sword and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "Aren't you good at cutting wooden bowls? ”
Xu Shaofeng was already out of anger at this time. He smiled coldly: "You let me use the Cold Iron Xingxiao Sword to sharpen the wooden bowl?" The long sword in his hand is called the Cold Iron Xingxiao Sword, which is a sword given by the master when he left the school, and it is more precious to him than his life.
It's a pity that Lu Xiaohua didn't feel his anger at all, and even when she saw his sword, her eyes swelled with expectation, "Yes, haven't you cut one? ”
Looking at her sparkling eyes, Xu Shaofeng suddenly felt speechless. He wondered in his heart: I think he is also famous in the rivers and lakes, and the eight-foot-tall strong man will also hang his head and avoid his eyes when he sees him, why is this little mountain girl who doesn't know any martial arts is not afraid of him at all?
"You'll just cut a few and try it. It's better than having nothing to sell tomorrow, not getting money in exchange, not being able to buy back food, and starving to death together. Seeing that he was silent, Lu Xiaohua continued to persuade one sentence after another.
"Besides, if it weren't for you, things wouldn't have been used up. You've got to compensate me!" Lu Xiaohua threw out a killer move.
......
In the end, Xu Shaofeng felt that instead of reasoning with this unreasonable mountain girl, it was better to cut the wooden bowl to save trouble, so he resigned himself to cutting the wooden bowl.
Lu Xiaohua told again: "You have to sell a wooden bowl that can be sold at a high price." I can sell a basket of mountain goods for 50 wen!"
50 Wen! I actually want to do a job that is only worth 50 Wen! Xu Shaofeng thought viciously, and vented all his anger on the wood in front of him.
...... ......
I didn't expect the wooden bowl he made to sell so well. By the way, let him cut a few more and sell them. Just after noon, Lu Xiaohua returned home from the market.
She excitedly pushed open the door and shouted inside, "The wooden bowls are sold!"
Then, she froze.
The hut was quiet, and there was no one. The quilt on the bed was neatly folded, and there was nothing left on it. If it weren't for the faint traces of blood that could not be washed off on Xiaohua's sheets, it would be as if some cold guy had never lived.
Lu Xiaohua's fluttering heart sank to the bottom all of a sudden, and he just left!
Who is it, I don't know how to say hello to her when I leave. Lu Xiaohua suddenly felt a little sad and a little aggrieved, and her eyes were hazy, as if she was covered by fog. It's a shame that she came back so early, and she didn't even have time to visit her favorite market!
After a while, she sucked her sour nose and resolutely thought: That person is the most annoying, he speaks coldly, and he loves to be angry, he draws his sword at every turn to bluff people, stains Xiaohua's sheets, and breaks Xiaohua's bowl, so it's best for such a nasty person to go!
"What are you doing in the way?" the cool swishing words floated from the back of the neck.
It's him!" Lu Xiaohua turned back sharply.
Seeing Lu Xiaohua's eyes with tears in them, Xu Shaofeng said strangely: "What are you crying about?"
"I didn't cry!" Lu Xiaohua raised her hand to wipe her eyes, and said with a smile, "I was blinded by the wind." ”
This girl is weird, crying for a while and laughing for a while. Xu Shaofeng didn't want to dwell on this issue, so he touched her arm with the scabbard and said, "Then don't get in the way." ”
Lu Xiaohua turned sideways and saw him limping into the house and sitting on the bed.
She asked, "Where did you just go?"
"Go untie your hands. He replied with a blank face.
"Why are you still holding a sword when you go to relieve yourself?"
"It's none of your business. ”
Lu Xiaohua pursed her mouth and said, "The injury on your leg is not healed yet, don't walk around." ”
"It's none of your business. He was still expressionless.
Lu Xiaohua stared at him for a while, and suddenly laughed.
"What are you laughing at?" Xu Shaofeng said strangely.
"Nothing. I think it's funny myself. Lu Xiaohua suddenly felt in a good mood, "By the way, I'll tell you a good news, all the wooden bowls you sharpened have been sold, and they have been sold for a good price." Guess how much money you have?"
The tears in the corners of her eyes hadn't dried, but she suddenly smiled so happily, what a strange girl! Xu Shaofeng looked at her bright smile like the sun, and unconsciously asked, "How much?"
"There are 100 Wen!" Without waiting for him to ask again, Lu Xiaohua said to herself again. "Normally, I can sell a basket of mountain goods for 50 Wen, but this time the wooden bowl you sharpened was actually sold for 100 Wen, don't you say it......'s great?
Actually, for Xu Shaofeng, there is not much difference between 50 and 100 words, but I don't know why looking at the sunny smile of the little girl in front of him, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
"Well, this is the clothes I bought for you, you can wear them to see if they fit. As she spoke, Lu Xiaohua took out a set of clothes from the back basket.
Xu Shaofeng took it in his hand and put it on. His original clothes had been shredded by Lu Xiaohua, and now he was wearing Lu Xiaohua's father's old clothes, which were a little tight and a lot shorter.
This newly bought dress is made of white homespun cloth, because the color of the homespun cloth is not pure, it is a little yellowish, but the length is fat and thin, the homespun cloth is breathable, and it is very comfortable to wear.
"It fits perfectly, do you like it?" Lu Xiaohua clapped her hands and asked with shining eyes.
"Hmm. Xu Shaofeng responded, and a trace of warmth drifted through his heart.
"Are you hungry? I'll cook now. Lu Xiaohua kept taking out all kinds of things from the back basket like a trick, rice, salt, green vegetables, red dates, and finally a bunch of pork liver. "Today I will make you pork liver and red date soup, the big brother who sells meat says that this is the most nourishing for blood! You must eat more in a while. ”
The fragrance of the meal gradually wafted out, Xu Shaofeng looked at Lu Xiaohua, who was constantly busy like a little bee, pulled the clothes on his body, and the warmth in his heart gradually spread with the fragrance of rice.
I don't know if it's because he's hungry, but he ate a very fragrant meal.
"Is it delicious?" Lu Xiaohua asked in front of him with a smiling face after putting away the dishes and chopsticks.
"Delicious. Xu Shaofeng was a little uncomfortable with her, but he still answered honestly.
"You're going to live here, right?" Lu Xiaohua asked with a smile on her face.
"Yes. Xu Shaofeng thought of his current miserable situation, it is better to go out to meet people after cultivating in such a remote place.
"Then you can cut a few more wooden bowls!" just waiting for your words, Lu Xiaohua smiled thiefly.
Xu Shaofeng couldn't help but turn blue, and subconsciously protected the Cold Iron Xingxiao Sword, and said, "Don't!"
"I can't help you," Lu Xiaohua counted with her fingers: "This delicious meal is worth 10 yuan." The clothes on your body are worth 60 Wen, and I bought rice and salt for the remaining 30 Wen, which is enough for the two of us to eat for 3 days, if you don't cut the wooden bowl, we will starve again after 3 days!"
Xu Shaofeng hesitated for a moment, and said hesitantly: "Money bag ......"
"The money in it can't be spent, it has to be saved!" Lu Xiaohua said categorically, "In addition, what I gave me is mine! ”
Xu Shaofeng looked at Lu Xiaohua with some surprise, this little girl is really not afraid of him anymore. He couldn't figure it out, why wasn't she afraid of him?
He thought about it for a while, forget it, just cut the wooden bowl. Originally, he also planned to cultivate here for a while, but now that his legs are incapacitated, he regards cutting wooden bowls as a kind of cultivation.
......
However, what Xu Shaofeng didn't expect was that a few days later, he actually liked this work.
Every morning, as soon as the sun appeared, Lu Xiaohua went up the mountain to pick with a basket on his back, while Xu Shaofeng practiced pranayama in the small courtyard and cut wooden bowls by the way. At noon, Lu Xiaohua came back to cook. After eating, Xu Shaofeng continued to recuperate, while Lu Xiaohua went out to the mountain again and came back at dusk. The sun rises, the sun rests, and the days are simple and peaceful.
After a few days of recuperation, I don't know if it was the effect of Lu Xiaohua's herbs, Xu Shaofeng's wound recovered quickly, and the healing speed was so fast that even he was a little surprised.
On this morning, after he finished practicing, he began to carve the lace on the wooden bowl intently. The warm sun shone on his body, the breeze in the mountains blew, and his nose was full of the fragrance of grass and trees, he carved lace without thinking about anything, and let the breath slowly swim in his body, gradually reaching the realm of selflessness.
Suddenly, a crisp singing voice came from the vast mountains:
Ay~~~
The green hills, the flowers are blooming
The turbulent river is full of water, and the fish are fat
Rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the water to eat the water
Mountains and rivers have a backing, good fortune
I'll sing, you can listen
Sing until the moon bends
A gust of wind climbed the slope
The flowers all over the mountain smiled and bent over
The corners of Xu Shaofeng's mouth raised slightly, and a smile appeared that even he didn't notice. He could hear that this was Lu Xiaohua's singing, her singing voice was pure and simple, as beautiful as a lark. The crisp singing echoes in the mountains, like the sound of heaven.
Xu Shaofeng looked up at the white clouds floating leisurely in the sky, and a few wisps of cooking smoke were rising from the depths of the green mountains in the distance, and suddenly there was a feeling that he had never felt before gently slashing across the lake in his heart.
Such a peaceful and leisurely life seems to be good. He actually had such an idea.
Suddenly, an unusually strong wind blew from outside the small courtyard, and he straightened up alertly, clenching the hilt of his sword.
