Chapter 15 Temporary Residence in a Mountain Village

The shopkeeper took Song Qingshu to hire a carriage in the city, and then ran non-stop to the outskirts of Xiangyang.

On the way, Song Qingshu has been thinking silently about the problem, he used to think about the problem too simply, although it should not be too difficult to deal with poisonous snakes with his current skills, but in the deep mountains and old forests, anything can happen, and if he is not careful, he will capsize in the gutter. And if you look for it yourself, the time spent hunting will increase exponentially, and the gains outweigh the losses. Suddenly, Song Qingshu remembered what Xiao Er began to say, and his heart was shocked.

Raised his head and asked, "Second brother, you said that your fathers all hunted for a living, can you hunt the poisonous snake that is faintly glowing with golden light?"

Xiao Er unexpectedly Song Qingshu, who had not spoken all this time, suddenly asked, was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, "Yes, not only my grandfather, my father, but most of the people in our village can hunt, but that kind of poisonous snake is too poisonous, is it useless, so everyone generally does not hunt and kill." ”

"Really?" Song Qingshu was really overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "If I pay them to kill this poisonous snake, are they willing?"

"Of course, there is money to be made, and of course they are willing. The villain replied, but said with some confusion, "But the poisonous snake of the guest officer is tasteless to eat, and it is a pity to abandon it, what is the use of you coming?"

"Hehe, it's because he's poisonous that I want him, otherwise what do you think he's for. Song Qingshu looked at Xiao Er's puzzled expression, and said meaningfully, "I'm cultivating a poisonous skill, so I need a lot of this poisonous snake." ”

"What, do you know martial arts?" Xiao Er was stunned for a moment, and his reaction was even more at a loss, and he stammered, "Shaoxia, I"

"Okay, as long as you do what I have to say, everything will be easy to say. Song Qingshu waved his hand.

"Yes, yes, the little one must do his best. Xiao'er nodded hurriedly. Although he said so, Xiao Er was no longer as comfortable as before, and he was a little nervous along the way.

In fact, after Xiao Er knew that Song Qingshu knew martial arts, the reason why his reaction was so big was because the people in the rivers and lakes were generally outlaws, especially there were three kinds of people who could not be offended, one was a monk, a monk and a Taoist, one was a woman, a beautiful woman, and one was a child. So when he knew that Song Qingshu, who he had blackmailed, was a person in the rivers and lakes, Xiao Er was so afraid.

In fact, this is also the result that Song Qingshu wants, after all, he has only walked the rivers and lakes, and he is inexperienced, and for unnecessary trouble, it is necessary to show that he is not easy to mess with.

Only after knowing that Song Qingshu was a person in the rivers and lakes, the silence in the carriage became more and more silent. Fortunately, it didn't take long to reach the destination. It is a small mountain village located at the foot of a large mountain.

In front of the village, there is a yellow horn tree with lush leaves, and in the middle of the village are rows of thatched houses, and it is now noon, and the smoke of cooking is in every house.

"It's here, the young man has arrived, this is it, get off. Xiao Er said respectfully.

Song Qingshu nodded, got out of the car with Xiao Er, paid the money, and let the driver go back, while he and Xiao'er went to the village together.

When I walked to the entrance of the village, outside a courtyard made of bamboo, suddenly a door opened in a low thatched hut inside, and a woman dressed in coarse cloth clothes came out.

The woman looked to be in her forties, covered her head with a piece of green cloth, slightly chubby, with a dark face, and an ordinary appearance, but rather stout. The woman had a spatula in her hand and looked like she was cooking.

This woman Song Qingshu naturally didn't know anything, but he didn't know it, it didn't mean that Xiao Er didn't know her, as soon as she saw this woman, Xiao Er opened her mouth and shouted, "Eh, isn't this the aunt of the Ma family?"

"Who is my word, when I heard the dog barking, I saw that it was actually a second dog. Aunt Ma smiled and said, "Aren't you a buddy in the city? ”

"Hehe, there's something to bring the guests back. Ergouzi smiled, "Okay, I'll go home first, and we'll talk later." ”

"Eh, there you go. Aunt Ma nodded with a smile, and nodded to Song Qingshu on the side.

The second dog led Song Qingshu to the village, and arrived home after a while. Just in time for lunch to be made at home, Ergouzi's grandfather hurriedly asked his mother to add a few side dishes to the kitchen. He was with Ergouzi's father, and Ergouzi accompanied Song Qingshu to eat on the table.

In fact, there is nothing strange about this, in ancient times, women generally had no status, and they were not allowed to eat at the table, especially when there were guests.

At the dinner table, the dishes are home-cooked. It is rice wine made by the farmers themselves, and the degree is not high, but the taste is still okay.

The Ergouzi family was not afraid of this legendary person in the rivers and lakes who came to their house as a guest, but they were still very frightened.

After drinking and eating enough, Song Qingshu asked Ergouzi to tell the purpose of his coming here.

The two dogs' family were relieved and let out a long breath.

Ergouzi's grandfather patted his chest and said, "Young man, please rest assured, the old man still has some prestige in the village, and if he has money to take, he will definitely let people do things properly." ”

"Okay, with the old man's words, I'm relieved. Song Qingshu was also very happy.

Suddenly thinking that he didn't have a place to live, this was a problem, he usually wanted to cultivate and needed a secluded environment, so it was not suitable to live directly in the villagers' homes, but it was also inappropriate for Song Qingshu to find a cave to live in.

Although it is said that the people in the rivers and lakes are informal, Song Qingshu is not a native after all, and after coming to Wudang, he has not suffered much, so he doesn't have to think about letting him live in a cave.

So Song Qingshu said to the grandfather of the second dog, "Old man, there is still something I want to worry about." ”

"Where did the young man speak. Grandpa Ergouzi said nonchalantly, "The young man spoke again." ”

"Okay, then ask the old man to have someone build a house on a secluded hill near the village for me to live in, and in the future, the old man, you will send the poisonous snakes of the hunting road directly. Song Qingshu looked at the embarrassed appearance of the second dog's grandfather, couldn't help but chuckle, and said, "Hehe, of course, the cost of building a house is all paid by yourself." ”

"So there's no problem. Grandpa Ergouzi smiled awkwardly.

It's not that Song Qingshu doesn't want to live in a mountain village, firstly, he needs a secluded place to practice martial arts, and secondly, he is a person from the rivers and lakes, although he has no vices, but the people in the village will inevitably be a little afraid, so instead of living in the village, it is better to pay for people to build a temporary living hut in a secluded place.
