playful peasant girl

Chapter 6 Night talk & martial arts in the mountains
Thinking that Niu Niu is already six years old and not too young, and it is time for enlightenment education, Xia Lan thought about sending Niu Niu to school after harvesting the crops.

In modern times, children of all ages have begun to carry out enlightenment education.It takes ten years to grow trees, but a hundred years to grow people!Education is a big deal and should not be delayed.

Xia Lan doesn't ask Niu Niu to take the imperial examination, but she just hopes that he can read and write, understand right and wrong, increase his knowledge, and it will be convenient to take him out for a walk in the future. figure.

Xia Lan's thoughts moved slightly: "Niu Niu, do you want to go to school and study with your master?"

When Niu Niu heard Xia Lan's question, a desire to read appeared in his eyes. Xia Lan had been carefully observing Niu Niu's reaction, and was very pleased to see that he didn't hate reading.

"Sister, our family is so poor, how can I have money to let me study, Niu Niu doesn't want to embarrass my sister, so Niu Niu should not study."

Looking at this sensible and worrying child, Xia Lan sighed.

"Niu Niu don't have to worry about money. In fact, my parents gave my sister a valuable treasure before they died. It is a century-old ginseng, which can be exchanged for a lot of silver. If you get the money, my sister will send you to school, and you can use it as capital to think of some ways to make money, so that the future will not be sad."

Niu Niu was much happier when she heard Xia Lan say this, and asked a little nervously, "Sister, how do you know so much? I haven't heard you talk about doing business to make money before?"

Xia Lan can't say that those methods are all borrowed from modern times, can they not scare people stupid!

"Niu Niu, my sister told you a secret, but you must never tell others, you know?"

Seeing Xia Lan's serious expression, Niu Niu firmly stood by Xia Lan's side, "Sister, tell me, I won't tell anyone."

Looking at this stubborn and sensible child, Xia Lan also believed that he would not speak out, and there would be no trouble if he did. Xia Lan did this to pave the way for something to happen in the future.

"Niu Niu, my sister fell ill this time. In my sleep, I met an old Taoist with white eyebrows. He can fly through the clouds, which is amazing! He told me that he was very close to me. He not only cured my sister's illness, but also taught me a medical book and a book. The profound martial arts cheats, specifically entrusted me to practice hard, and not to be neglected. So from tomorrow onwards, you have to practice martial arts with me, understand?"

"My sister's disease was cured by the gods, no wonder my sister recovered so quickly! It turns out that the gods are so kind to my sister!"

Niu Niu was full of joy, and the gods also helped his sister. He felt so miraculous that he couldn't help but want to confirm again.

"Sister, is what you said true?"

"Little ghost, when did my sister lie to you? Of course it's all true, let's eat your meal!"

Xia Lan patted Niu Niu's little head, the conscience of heaven and earth, Xia Lan really didn't do it on purpose!
Xia Lan began to eat with a guilty conscience, baby, my sister is lying to you now!
Xia Lan slept in the space for so long during the day, so she didn't feel much drowsiness, but thinking that she would go up the mountain again tomorrow morning and start practicing martial arts, both of which would be physical work, so she tried her best to hypnotize herself.

"One sheep, two sheep, three sheep...", the eyelids became heavier and heavier, and soon fell asleep.

At night, there was silence, and the stars blinked and flickered in the sky.The fields are full, and all kinds of insects are singing, playing a unique symphony in the countryside.

The night is getting darker, the night is getting darker, the village is falling into a deep sleep, and the barking of domestic dogs can be heard from time to time.

Early the next morning, Xia Lan and Niu Niu woke up early because they were thinking about martial arts.

After making breakfast, the two of them filled their stomachs.Before leaving, Xia Lan packed the mixed wild vegetables and mushroom soup in an earthen jar.

Xia Lan is really not used to the ancient people's two meals a day, even thinking about it makes her stomach hurt.

When they arrived on the mountain, Xia Lan and Niu Niu picked wild vegetables and mushrooms as before, and when the rations for the future were almost prepared, they took a short rest before starting to practice martial arts.

It was also Xia Lan's first contact with Gu Wu, and it felt very magical.Even if you have to squat, you are still in high spirits.Niu Niu also centered on Xia Lan in everything, and he learned it well.

Half an hour, an hour, an hour and a half...

Xia Lan felt more and more that she was going to be unable to hold on, but she still persisted seeing how small Niu Niu was, and she didn't feel tired after suffering. Thinking about how awesome she looked after learning Kung Fu, she gritted her teeth and persisted. Compared with a child, her self-esteem!
Finally, two hours passed, Xia Lan wanted to lift her legs to find a place to rest, her legs felt as heavy as lead, she raised her legs and wanted to take a step, a stagger, Xia Lan had intimate contact with Mother Earth .

Seeing Xia Lan fall down, Niu Niu gloated and laughed. Unexpectedly, extreme joy gave rise to grief, and he threw himself at Mother Earth.

Two people, you look at me, I look at you, jumping together and making a fuss
Xia Lan didn't dare to let go of the game, this is in the mountains, it would be bad if she accidentally got bitten by a snake.Recalling that when she was a child, she was stuck with a severed penis by a bad friend, and she was still afraid in her heart. Since then, her scalp has become numb when she sees invertebrates.

Although mountain villages are good, realgar is indispensable.

Thinking that although the modern times are unsatisfactory and she can't get along anyway, she can still go home. Every time she goes back, her parents will make a lot of dishes, which are her favorite food.

Where there are mountains, there is water, and there are fatty fish in the water. I haven't eaten fish for a long time, and Xia Lan misses it very much!

"Niu Niu, do you know where there is a stream in the mountains?"

Niu Niu thought of the creek where he used to play with his friends and often went, so he actively led the way for Xia Lan.

Yihong Qingquan, flowing slowly in the mountains, is so clear that you can clearly see the pebbles and swimming fish at the bottom of the water.Shallow water plants crisscross, seem to be dancing softly.

"The fish in the pond can have hundreds of heads, all of which are like swimming in the air and have nothing to support. The sun shines brightly, and the shadow spreads on the stones. It seems to be swimming happily." Liu Zongyuan's "Little Rock Lake" also seems to be very appropriate here. .

The stream is deep but the fish are fat, the spring is fragrant but the wine is strong.There are streams, springs and fish, but it is a pity that there is no good wine!
Xia Lan asked Niu Niu to find some sharp branches and use them as harpoons.Using the refraction principle of light learned in the previous life, it took a lot of effort to get two fish.As a non-professional village girl, God knows how hard it is for her as a layman!

"Niu Niu, we have a lucky meal tonight!"

Thinking of stewed fish with fresh mushrooms, the ingredients are handmade, the growth is pure natural, no additives, no preservatives, no potential unsafe factors, Xia Lan is still very happy.Carrying bamboo baskets and facing the evening wind, Xia Lan and Niu Niu went down the mountain together.

"Niu Niu, do you know how to get to the town?" Xia Lan didn't know much about it.

"Sister, we can take the ox cart of Grandpa Liu in the village. He goes to the town to drive people every day, but each person costs five yuan."

Xia Lan decided to talk to Grandpa Liu earlier, so she took advantage of the dark to explain her intentions. Uncle Liu also felt sorry for the two poor children, so he decided not to accept their money. The two children, I can help a little is a little.

"At five o'clock tomorrow, just gather at the entrance of the village. I'll wait for you there."

After chatting with Uncle Liu a few more homely words, Xia Lan took Niu Niu away, and the two figures, one tall and one short, gradually disappeared in the night.

"Ah!" It was Uncle Liu's sigh.
