Qixuan Extra Episode (16)
The genius remembers the address of this site in a second: (Apex Chinese), the fastest update! No advertisements! Qixuan opened his eyes and found himself in a dim earth embryo room. Not only is the light out of the house, but the walls are also glowing yellow.
Only later did Qixuan realize that he was alone in the room, Qixuan shouted loudly, "Gu Jiu, Huang Zhijian, Gu Jiu, Huang Zhijian."
Called several times, but no one answered. An unprecedented panic surged in Qi Xuan's heart: "Qiao Niang, Qiao Niang..."
Qiao Niang is the name of Aunt Dou. Her parents wanted her to be an ingenious girl, so they named her that.
Seeing that no one responded, Qixuan got up and rushed out of the room. Then there was no one outside.
This is all gone, leaving him here alone. Just when Qixuan felt hopeless and helpless, Aunt Dou came back with a load of water.
Qixuan hurried over and asked, "Qiaoniang, why are you alone? Where are Gu Jiu and Huang Zhijian?"
Aunt Dou carried the water into the shed. The things inside are extremely crude, except for two wooden barrels, pots, iron cans, and some wooden bowls and chopsticks, there is only a stove built with two stones.
Qixuan's eyes widened: "Let's go, just leave like this?" Without explaining half a word, he left.
"If you don't leave, why don't you stay here to accompany you?" After finishing speaking, Aunt Dou pointed to the mountains and jungles beyond the horizon: "If you have a way, go out, and you won't stay here."
The house that Gu Jiu found for Qixuan was actually two rough houses plus two small sheds. There are two rooms, one for sleeping and one for storing things. There are two small sheds, a kitchen and a toilet.
Looking at the huge rock, Qi Xuan said in a low voice: "It's not easy to go to the town in such a remote place." It will take a day to go to and from the town.
But Aunt Dou didn't want to talk nonsense with Qi Xuan, she said: "Go and chop firewood, I have to cook." She drank chicken soup in the morning, and there was still more than half of the chicken. Adhering to the principle of not wasting, Aunt Dou packed the chicken with her.
After walking for so long just now, Qi Xuan was also so hungry that his stomach growled: "What's for lunch?"
Hearing this, Aunt Dou's face collapsed: "I went to see it just now, and there are only four bags of yams and four bags of sweet potatoes in the room, nothing else." Some of these yams and sweet potatoes have to be taken away. to do sowing.
King Xuan lived in a place full of rich clothes and fine food, but now he is being reduced to a place where he has no food. Speaking of which, Aunt Dou also felt that Yuxi was too cruel.
Qixuan's face turned green in an instant: "There are only yams and sweet potatoes? Nothing else?"
Aunt Dou shook her head.
Qixuan felt sad from his heart, and said to himself: "Mother, are you trying to starve me to death?"
Aunt Dou was actually a little scared, but she couldn't see Qixuan's appearance, and immediately scolded: "Are you without hands or feet? This mountain is full of food, as long as you are willing to work, why worry about not having food? "It's spring now, and there are plenty of wild vegetables and wild things. As long as you are willing to find a way to get food, you will definitely not starve to death.
"It's easy to say. Do you know what you can eat and what you can't? What if you get poisoned?" He has been traveling for many years, and he has heard of people who accidentally ate unknown wild fruits or mushrooms and died of poisoning.
Aunt Dou said angrily: "Are you deaf or dumb? Don't you know to ask if you don't understand?"
Looking at the meadow in front, Qixuan said: "There is no family in this deep mountain and old forest, who to ask?"
Pointing to a big rock in the distance, Aunt Dou said: "Turn over that rock, and that is Ajia Village. I got the ancient nine tattooed, and he said that there are 38 households, 2160, and 5 villagers in this village." .”
Hearing that there were still people, and there were more than two hundred people, Qi Xuan felt a little relieved. It's good if someone lives there, but I'm afraid it's just the two of them. In this way, the wild beasts attacked them, and no one came to help them.
Qixuan looked at the mountains and jungles beyond the horizon, and couldn't help saying: "It's not convenient to buy daily necessities, rice, oil, salt, etc."
Aunt Dou looked at Qixuan like an idiot.
"What are you doing?" He hated Aunt Dou looking at him like that.
Obviously he is excellent, but Aunt Dou looked at him as if she was looking at something. Let him feel extremely aggrieved.
Aunt Dou sneered, "There is firewood everywhere in this mountain, do you still need to buy it? Besides, in this kind of place, besides buying salt, the villagers don't spend money on impractical things like soy sauce, vinegar and tea." It's good to fill your stomach Alright, don't think about anything else.
Qi Xuan was silent. He had also seen some people living a good and miserable life before, and he gave money to some of them. It's just that I haven't experienced it myself.
"Grinding and chirping, hurry up and chop firewood. You are not hungry, I still want to eat!" She was about to starve to death.
Qixuan found the machete and the axe. It was only later that Qixuan found out that only the village chief in Ajia Village had iron tools such as scimitars and axes.
Qixuan, who had never done heavy work before, could not even chop wood as fast as one-fifth of Huang Zhijian's.
Although the size of the firewood cut was different, but at any rate, they did not slow down their work. So Aunt Dou didn't scold anymore, but quickly lit the fire to cook the potatoes.
Glancing at Qixuan standing outside the low shed, Aunt Dou said, "You come to light the fire, and I'll wash these things." The tin cans and bowls and chopsticks look new, but it's safer to wash them.
In case Qixuan would set the kitchen on fire, Aunt Dou said while washing the dishes: "You add firewood one at a time, if there are too many fortresses, the fire will go out."
After a few words of advice, Aunt Dou saw that he seemed to be burning a fire, so she let go, and brought water into the house for sanitation.
After going in for a while, Aunt Dou came out again, seeing that the fire was still flourishing, she glanced at Qixuan in surprise: "I didn't expect you to be able to light a fire?" Thinking of her brother, the first time the fire almost burned the kitchen.
"I used to cook!" Only that was many years ago.
Aunt Dou sneered, but she didn't laugh at him.
Although Qixuan felt ashamed, Aunt Dou's attitude still annoyed him: "I really cook." If Pang Jinglun were there, he would definitely say that pigs would not eat the food made by Qixuan.
Although Aunt Dou didn't like what Qixuan did, she also knew that he wasn't the type to talk about it. Furthermore, the appearance of the fire just now is not like the first time. Aunt Dou asked: "Didn't you say that a gentleman stays away from the kitchen? How can he cook?"
How could Qixuan tell Aunt Dou about his poor and impoverished past. To let this shrew know, she must use this to ridicule him again.
Aunt Dou didn't have time to chat with him, so she turned around and went back to the house to clean up.
In fact, apart from the three big packages they brought, there was only one bed in their house, and there was not even a chair in the house. It's unbelievable to look at.
Aunt Dou scrubbed the bed clean, then poured out all the dirty water: "Yun Qixuan, go and get me some water."
Qi Xuan refused to go: "I don't know where there is water."
Aunt Dou put the bucket in front of Qixuan and said, "There is a spring at the entrance of the village, and many people are carrying water there. You can see it when you go there."
"Go ahead?"
Aunt Dou was so tired that her waist was sore and her back ached. Seeing that Qi Xuan was pushing the fire three times, she came up again: "The heavy work of carrying water is pushed to me by a woman, are you still a man?"
Qixuan's self-esteem is still very strong, even if he doesn't want to, he still picks up the bucket and walks towards the village.
Aunt Dou looked at his back, and said to herself: "It's purely a cheap thing."
Qixuan turned around the big rock, and saw a woman in a headscarf directly put the bucket into the spring water, then filled a bucket full of water and brought it up.
There were several people standing beside the woman. Some of these people were married and some were unmarried girls.
Qixuan has also been to many places over the years. Of course, he has never been to such a deep mountain and old forest. But many places of interest and historical sites have left his footprints.
Even Qixuan, who has seen the world, was still almost fled by these few people.
After finally scooping up two buckets of water, Qixuan hurriedly picked up the buckets and left. The road was bumpy and uneven, and Qi Xuan walked too hastily and didn't see his feet clearly, so he tripped over a stone and fell to the ground. Not only the palms and knees were bruised, but the water in the barrel was also spilled all over the floor.
The women who had been watching him giggled when they saw him like this, then carried water and left.
Although Qixuan is white and good-looking, it is not easy to survive in the mountains. No one looks down on a man who falls over even carrying water.
Although Qixuan is timid in front of Yuxi, he still has a lot of face in front of his own woman. With the water all over his body, he picked up the empty wooden barrel and turned back.
Looking at Qixuan who was wet like a soaked chicken, Aunt Dou asked: "What's wrong with you? Did you fall into the spring water?"
"Is there any medicine for the wound?" Just now he was trying to be brave, but now his palms and knees hurt badly.
Seeing that her palms were red and her knees were bruised a lot, Aunt Dou not only didn't feel distressed, but scolded: "You said you are not ashamed, and you can fall while carrying a load of water? We will really starve to death after you do this."
Aunt Dou felt very worried about expecting him to hunt prey to support the two of them just like this. But at this point, there is no room for retreat.
Qixuan endured the pain and said: "Don't worry, I won't let you go hungry." He couldn't even feed a woman, so he lived for more than thirty years in vain.
As it turns out, this is no easy feat.
Aunt Dou originally wanted to ridicule Qixuan, but she swallowed the words and said, "I believe you once." I hope that what Gu Jiu said is true, Yun Qixuan really knows martial arts.
After finishing speaking, Aunt Dou said: "Go and change your clothes, let's eat."
The so-called lunch is a wooden bowl of yams and chicken soup. There was really no food, so Aunt Dou cooked the chicken again. Although the taste is bland, it is better than dry potato.
After eating, Qixuan said: "I'll go see what's going on outside." This is where they will live in the future, so we must understand the environment here.
Aunt Dou said: "It's not too late to go later. Let's see if there is any land around where we can grow food." Now it's the spring farming season, and the earlier the yams and sweet potatoes are planted, the earlier the harvest will be. Of course, first look at the land and then go to the village head to ask how to plant these things.
Dou's family lives by fishing, so Aunt Dou has never planted land. However, the vegetables are grown.
The two walked around the house, just to see if the surrounding land was suitable for growing yams or potatoes. There was a steep slope behind the house of the two of them, and when they climbed the steep slope, they found that they were on a bottomless cliff.
