Chapter 3 Want Eggs

"Uncle Liu! Xiao Wan!
I'm bringing you water! "

Zhao Huniu gently put the two buckets of water on the ground without a drop of water spilling from them; she untied the rope on the bucket from the shoulder pole, and then put the pole upright, leaning on her shoulder like this,
His expression was relaxed, not even a drop of sweat dripped from his forehead.

"Sister Huniu! Thank you!"

Before seeing her, she heard her voice first, Liu Xiaowan's voice came from the room first, and then she saw her trotting all the way to Zhao Huniu.A plum blue veil was wrapped around her head, and the sleeves of her hands were rolled up on her wrists.

"Thank you, thank you, always trouble you, sister Huniu"

Liu Xiaowan bent down and wanted to drag the two buckets of water, but she tried, but she didn't drag it, and almost shook some of the water inside.

"Hey, let me come, you can't hold it."

Zhao Huniu immediately reached out to help,
Liu Xiaowan saw her leaning her shoulder pole against the wall, holding a bucket of water in each of her left and right hands,

Just like that, under the shocked gaze of the girl, he carried the two buckets of water into the door.

"Sister Huniu drinks water,"

A clean small pottery bowl was placed in front of Huniu, which contained clear well water, which she brought for the Liu family just now.A middle-aged man who was almost as thin as Liu Xiaowan and dressed in plain clothes came out from the inner room, holding an egg in his hand,
"Come on Huniu, just recently the hen at home has laid an egg, you can eat it. It is always so troublesome for you to help carry water."

Liu Sheng said with a smile, and stuffed the egg into Zhao Huniu's hand.

"What a shame, Uncle Liu,
Xiaowan and I are friends, carrying water is just a trivial matter, Uncle Liu, you don't have to be so polite. "

"Where is it, even though you are Xiaowan's friend, you always trouble you so much. A few eggs are nothing. Besides, if you ask others to help carry water in the village, it will cost three or four copper coins at a time. You can buy the eggs." Take it."

"Then I won't be polite, Uncle Liu."

Zhao Huniu put the egg into her arms.

It's not that she's really greedy for these eggs from Liu Sheng's family, but that she really needs to have enough food right now—and it's not the kind of fullness like eating vegetables and drinking water, but the kind of fullness like white rice, big steamed buns, large pieces of meat and eggs .

It has been three months since Huniu came to this place,
During this period of time, apart from doing farm work in the field, Huniu just went around helping the people in the village with some odd jobs; she didn't want money for remuneration, she just wanted some rice and noodles, and there were better people like the Liu family. Will give a few eggs.Zhao Huniu took these things home, gave some to Zhao Cunwu, and ate the rest by herself.

Thanks to these scattered nutrition and the practice method engraved in her heart, after persisting for these three months, she finally made her much stronger than when she first came here.

But if you want to catch up with her previous physical fitness, there is still a long way to go.

"By the way, Uncle Liu, what troubled you earlier"

"Ah, yes, yes, I'd have forgotten if you didn't remind me," Liu Sheng clapped his hands, turned around and entered the room again; after a while, the man came out again, holding a square stack of paper in his hand.

"Come on, this is what you want. Speaking of which, this map was given to me by the master of the school when I was young. Alas, it is a pity that I have failed my master's expectations. After all these years,
Also read a scholar.Couldn't go any further. "

Seeing the lonely look on her father's face when he talked about this matter, Liu Xiaowan who was at the side couldn't help but feel a little bit sad and offered words of comfort.

As for Zhao Huniu,
After she got the map, she was anxious to go back and check it out, she said a few words with her in a casual way, then got up and said goodbye to the members of the Liu family.

Zhao Huniu walked on the road with a shoulder pole, and packed the map and eggs next to her body.Everyone she met along the way was kind and polite to her.

After all, during this period of time, Zhao Huniu has helped many people in the village, and the pay is small, and she is strong enough not to be too dirty or tired, so many villagers often come to ask her for help.

In the past, Zhao Cunwu's father and daughter seemed to be marginalized people in the village, and the fields at home were not very tidy; the father and daughter were not good at speaking and were a bit silly, so they were not taken care of.

But since Zhao Huniu changed her soul, everything gradually changed.
First of all,

"Stinky girl, stand for me!"

A voice from behind told Zhao Huniu to stop,

As soon as she turned around carrying the pole like this, the pole on her shoulders made a whistling sound,
Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the young man standing behind her dodging to the side in embarrassment, and there was an imperceptible sneer at the corner of her mouth.

"Did you come here again to beat Zhao Erdan?"

Looking at the burly young man behind her who was almost a head taller than her, Zhao Huniu's eyes were full of undisguised threats,
Zhao Erdan, who was just about to scold, and his two little followers trembled subconsciously,
Zhao Erdan even felt a faint pain in the area of ​​his left arm.

"You, you little bastard! Last time I let you go, do you really think I can't beat you? If not, since you are also my cousin, I must teach you a lesson!"

Although the sense of oppression that Zhao Huniu brought to them was extraordinary, he was used to bullying Zhao Huniu after all, and today he was accompanied by his playmates Zhao Xiaojia and Zhao Shouyuan,

Could it be that they are three majestic men, still afraid that a little girl will fail?

Thinking like this, Zhao Erdan tried to straighten out his chest.

"Did your brain be broken by me last time?"

Zhao Huniu changed the shoulder pole from the left shoulder to the right shoulder, and the whirlwind drawn in the air startled Zhao Erdan again; she raised her chin slightly and said contemptuously:
"Didn't my mother tell you to keep your mouth clean?
Let me hear you say the word 'little bastard' one more time, and this time I'll break your right hand.Let's see if grandma can scrape together enough money to treat your hand this time? "

As soon as he said this, Zhao Erdan felt a chill rush from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
Regardless of whether Zhao Xiaojia and Zhao Shouyuan around him would laugh at them,

He pursed his lips tightly, and his face turned a little purple because of humiliation or anger.

". Zhao Huniu,"

The simplest threats are often the most effective. Zhao Erdan said with a pale face, almost gnashing his teeth:
"Did Liu Sheng give you another egg? Give it to me."

"Hahahaha, joke,

Why should I give it to you? "

"Grandma asked you, do you dare not give it?"

"Grandma wants it from me, so you let her come to me to ask for it, what are you? How do I know that you didn't come to grab my eggs yourself, and you lied to me that it was grandma who wanted it?"

"you!"

Zhao Erdan's brain is not very sensitive at all, he has been used to solving problems by force since he was a child; as a result, Zhao Huniu not only has a better head than him, but he can't compare to his cousin even in terms of fists.
Looking at the pole as thick as a small tree on Zhao Huniu's shoulder,

Zhao Erdan's teeth itch with hatred,

But he could only knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.

"Okay, hello, then you wait!"

Watching the young man's face change from blue-purple to a color like sauced pig's liver, and finally these words popped out between his teeth, Zhao Huniu put down the pole from his shoulders,

It hit the muddy ground with a muffled "boom",
Zhao Erdan glared at her fiercely, then turned his head and strode forward without any hesitation.Its speed was so fast that even Zhao Erdan's two little followers didn't react.

The strongest bosses all ran away, so Zhao Xiaojia and Zhao Shouyuan naturally had no reason to stay here anymore; Zhao Xiaojia also followed Zhao Erdan's example and stared at Zhao Huniu,

As for Zhao Shouyuan, he didn't do anything. He fell behind Zhao Xiaojia and left with his two friends.

Zhao Huniu snorted disdainfully, carried the pole and continued walking towards home.

"I'm back, Daddy,"

Leaning the shoulder pole in her hand against the wall, Zhao Huniu called out.Zhao Cunwu's answer sounded in the house, but she didn't care too much, scooped a little water from the big water tank, washed her hands, went to the kitchen first, and then went back to her room.

The furnishings in the house were the same as when she first arrived,
Zhao Huniu opened the window, sat cross-legged on the bed, took out the map in her arms, and began to look at the map with the sunlight coming in from the window.

In just a few blinks,

A low sigh escaped from her mouth.

Sure enough, sure enough.

The world she was in at this time was no longer the world she was in before.Although people here dress the same and speak the same words as where she used to be,
But the territory drawn on this map is no longer one.She has never heard of any of the names of these states.
And she looked at all the mountains and rivers, but she couldn't see the name of Mount Weilong.

In this way, it is hard to tell if this place is some overseas place.

I'm afraid she won't be able to go back.

After staying here for three months, besides keeping fit, Zhao Huniu did not do anything else; she asked people in the village, including Zhao Cunwu, if they knew about Weilong Mountain.She even tried to find a way to go to Li County, but she found nothing.Liu Xiaowan's father, Liu Sheng, is an outsider and the only scholar in the village.
After Zhao Huniu heard the news, she often asked Liu Sheng about the affairs of this country and this dynasty.

But what she learned disappointed her time and time again.

Later, when Liu Xiaowan said that her father kept a map, Zhao Huniu made a plan to borrow it to look at it—this map completely shattered her hopes.

Folding the map again and putting it in her arms again, Zhao Huniu frowned tightly, her expression extremely solemn.

But it didn't last long,
She's not the kind of person who likes to blame herself,
Since God wants her to come to this place as Zhao Huniu, it naturally has its meaning; besides, God has the virtue of being good at life, maybe,

God intends to make her live again?

Or,

Let her live again?
Thinking of this, Zhao Huniu touched the back of her head.
