After transmigrating into a stepmother, I transformed my whole family to work on farming

Chapter 42 Take Bow
Qin Yao wanted Da Lang to come back again and test his potential.

There was a knock on the door from the direction of the door.

Today's 'fight' had to be put aside temporarily.

Liu Ji just went out, Qin Yao asked the four children to go back to the house to wipe off their sweat, "It's windy, don't catch a cold."

I saw them enter the shower room, which is also a wash room. A long rope is nailed to the wall, and their respective face towels are hung on it, and they can take it by themselves.

Qin Yao then threw the firewood stick back into the firewood pile and went to open the door.

At the door was a thin old man with gray hair, leading a donkey. When he saw Qin Yao, he asked:
"But Liu San and Liu Ji's family?"

Qin Yao nodded, "Yes, old man, who are you looking for?"

"Then you are Mrs. Qin, right?" the old man asked with certainty.

Qin Yao nodded again, "I am."

The old man found the person and breathed a sigh of relief. He told Qin Yao that he came from the town and went to Liujia Village to deliver something to his relatives. When passing by Xiahe Village, he met the Yang brothers. The two brothers asked him to bring a message to Qin Yao. .

"It is said that they have already made what you want, and tell you to go to Xiahe Village to find them when you are free."

After finishing speaking, the old man led the donkey and was about to leave.

Qin Yao suppressed the surprise in her heart, hurriedly called him, went back to the kitchen and poured him a bowl of hot water from the warm pot,
"Thank you for your help with the message, drink some hot water, it's cold, warm your body so you can go on your way."

The old man did not refuse. He happily took the drink and handed it back to Qin Yao. He waved his hand to Qin Yao and turned around to leave.

Liu Ji came from the river with a pickle jar in his arms, glanced suspiciously at the old man, walked to the door, and asked curiously:

"Lady, what is the old man doing at our house?"

Begging?
It doesn’t look like it either.What's more, he is still leading the donkey, that is a rich man.

Qin Yao asked him to come in, closed the door and then said: "Passenger, I will go to Xiahe Village tomorrow morning and bring something back."

As he said that, he didn't care what was in the pickle jar in his arms, and went straight into the utility room next to the stove.

He opened the lock and took out the six knives that had been hidden inside.

As soon as Liu Ji put away the vegetable jar, he saw her taking out the knives. He was shocked. The memory that had faded came back to his mind again. The scene of ruthless killing and killing a robber with one knife suddenly appeared, which frightened Liu Ji. .

Hastily turned around and faced the stove, randomly grabbed a handful of firewood and threw it into the stove hole, pretending to mutter:

"Let Da Lang help watch the fire, this kid will know how to play with that broken stick, if I come back later, the fire will be extinguished."

It wasn't until he heard the sound of the bedroom door closing across the way that he stopped, and he patted his chest after the disaster.

However, what are you going to do with those six knives in Xiahe Village?
Of course it’s for sale!
Qin Yao found a back basket, put six broken knives in it, stuffed it with straw, and spread a layer of firewood on the surface to ensure that no one would find it.

Qin Yao didn't know what happened in other places, but in Kaiyang County, except for officers and soldiers and government servants with special occupations, hunters, and escorts, ordinary people didn't carry knives.

If you bring a knife, it will be very troublesome to enter the city to check if you can't tell the history.

In addition to this, there are also people who have been tattooed and exiled at the frontier will carry weapons on their bodies.

It is a kind of agricultural knife, named Po knife. The blade is like a hatchet, short and wide, and the handle is hollow and cylindrical.

The knives seized by Qin Yao from the six robbers had obvious marks of being destroyed, and the shape of the knives was basically the same as that of the official knives.

At first, she wanted to take it back and use it for herself. The ancient iron-smelting technology was not yet perfect, and the knives were not durable. For example, the short knife in her hand had only cut six necks, and it was already too blunt.

Now seeing this shape and imprint, I instantly gave up the idea of ​​using it.

She doesn't want to court death yet, but it's a pity to lose it. She happens to be going to Xiahe Village, so she might as well sell it to a blacksmith.

Anyway, she had already broken off the blade without any traces, so she took it back together with her original blunt dagger, and there should be two taels of silver.

Qin Yao had already brought back the long knife and dagger that he had previously beaten at the blacksmith, as well as the bow and marbles of the slingshot, only missing a rubber band.

After living in the apocalypse for many years, Qin Yao has developed the habit of always bringing weapons when going out.

Before going out, he checked the dagger and half a bag of steel balls he carried to make sure they were correct. He took three freshly baked white-faced steamed buns prepared by Liu Jigang and left.

The genius is dim, and the chill is the heaviest in the morning.

In such a cold weather, people who have cotton clothes have already changed into thick cotton clothes, but Qin Yao only has two sets of cotton single clothes.

After eating the steamed buns, I took a breath into the air. The white mist was lingering, the wind blew, and then quickly dissipated.

She guessed that the temperature should have been almost below zero.

Qin Yao got up early, didn't meet anyone on the road, and walked alone for an hour and a half with a backpack on her back, and arrived at Xiahe Village smoothly.

The blacksmith shop has just opened, and Qin Yao is the first customer today, but she is not here to buy things, but to sell things.

Qin Yao and the blacksmith are also acquaintances, knowing that she has some skills, the blacksmith only looks at the quality of these knives, confirms that they are correct, throws them into the material pile, and gives Qin Yao the money.

The total is one tael or eight taels of silver, which is a bit different from Qin Yao's estimate of two taels.

But this kind of stolen goods is difficult to explain clearly. Qin Yao collected the money and went uphill to Yang's house.

As if expecting that she could not wait to come, Qin Yao had just walked to Banpo when she saw the son and daughter of Master Yang standing on the dam in front of the house looking around from a distance.

Seeing her, the daughter quickly ran into the yard and shouted, "Father! Mrs. Qin is here!"

Ever since the little girl found out that Qin Yao had beaten a black bear, she had admired her immensely. After notifying her father, she immediately rushed downhill to pick her up.

The 14-year-old girl, whose single name is Fang, is full of vigor and a bright smile, which makes people feel happy just by looking at them.

Qin Yao nodded at her, and the little girl enthusiastically led her into the main room and sat down.

The main house in Xiahe Village is different from that in Liujia Village. The ground in the middle of the main house is raised to create a square platform, and a fire pit is enclosed in the middle of the platform. In winter, the pots are used to cook and eat.

Qin Yao sat down on the wooden bench next to the fire pit, and Yang Fang brought her a cup of hot tea.

Qin Yao drank tea and roasted the fire, her whole body was warm.

There are two rows of rabbit meat hanging on the beam. The fireworks are slowly smoking, and some of them are sold. Usually, if they want to eat meat, they cut it off for cooking.

Mrs. Yang came over with a kitchen knife to cut the meat, she smiled and invited Qin Yao to have breakfast together, Qin Yao hurriedly stopped her.

"I ate it from home. Don't worry about me. I'll just sit for a while and return with my bow and arrow."

"Let's stay and eat." Yang Er also stayed.

Qin Yao refused again, and everyone saw that she was really not hungry, so they had to give up.

Yang Da and his son walked in with the prepared bows and arrows, and everyone's attention immediately shifted to the bow, which was longer than ordinary bows and arrows.

Yang Da handed over the bow, and Qin Yao took a closer look at it by the firelight, and suddenly her eyes lit up.

I couldn't wait to come outside the house with the bow and arrows, and shot a few arrows with my hands, I couldn't put it down.

Yang Fang and her elder brother wanted to try it out, but they couldn't even draw their bows, which made everyone laugh.
