The wicked girl

Chapter 16
The first time I went back to Chi Po Na, Ye Kui went with Yan Zi from the same village.She made friends with Yanzi, and Yanzi often asked her to play with her.But the children in the village are afraid of Po Chi, and if she tells her clearly, Yanzi will not dare to go, so Ye Kui didn't mention it, and only said that she was going to pick vegetables in the field with Yanzi.The two of them went out with Yanzi's cat.

On the way, the cat named Xiaohua started running around.

Swallow smiled and narrowed his eyes: "It's like this when it's hot. It went to catch fish in the river by itself yesterday, but it's amazing." Just after praising it, Xiaohua suddenly jumped up with a "meow", and suddenly There is no shadow.Swallow looked at the direction it was going away and stomped, "Oh, it must be chasing butterflies!"

Ye Kui looked at the bamboo forest, pursed her lips and smiled: "It's so dark inside, let's go chase it back."

"This troublemaker, let's go find it first, and pick melons when we come back." Yanzi nodded, agreed, and then took Yekui's hand and rushed into the bamboo forest.

Ye Kui staggered from being pulled, and hurriedly said: "Don't run, don't run, the road in this bamboo forest is not easy, and it will be bad if you fall down." Staggered to the bamboo forest.Fortunately, it didn't take long before I saw Xiaohua's figure. The cry of "meow, meow" is especially loud in the quiet bamboo forest.

In a blink of an eye, the tiger-skinned figure flitted past and rushed into a small courtyard in the bamboo forest.Just when the door of the room was ajar, Xiao Hua got in right away.Now, it is difficult for Ye Kui and the two to continue chasing after them.There is only one family in the bamboo forest, and this family is naturally Chi Po's family that Mrs. Mei told her not to approach.

Ye Kui recalled the scene when she met Po Chi that day. No matter how you looked at it, this old lady was out of place in Taohua Village. No wonder she wanted to live in seclusion in the bamboo forest alone.She was just afraid, but she wasn't afraid, so when she saw Xiaohua go in, she said to Yanzi: "Let's knock on the door and bring Xiaohua out."

"It's Mrs. Chi who lives here." Yanzi said with a look of fear in his eyes.

Ye Kui patted her hand, walked into the courtyard first, and was about to knock on the door, when the half-open door suddenly opened.Po Chi's clothes were neat, her gray hair was not messed up, she held Xiaohua in her hand and looked down at Yekui, "Your?"

If the sun does not shine into the dense bamboo forest, the light will not be very good.It was only after getting so close that Ye Kui noticed that Chi Po's left eye was completely out of focus, and that eye - was blind!But her right eye was as black as black jade, not at all as charming as an old lady of her age.Ye Kui was stunned for a moment, and said after a while, "I'm bothering my mother-in-law." She reached out to pick up Xiaohua.

Xiao Hua suddenly struggled and ran into the room again, and then there was a sound of things being knocked over from the back room.Swallow, who was standing far away at the gate of the yard, also heard the voice, and the timidity in his heart was immediately forgotten, and he rushed over and said "I'm sorry, mother-in-law" at the door, and entered. Room.

Chi Po's expression was as calm as ever, she turned around and entered the room, and said to Ye Kui, "You come in too."

After entering the house, he followed Po Chi and turned a corner, his eyes suddenly opened up.A small wooden table, the ground under the table is wet, and a water ladle is poured on the side.Yanzi hugged Xiao Hua and lowered her head to apologize to Po Chi: "I'm sorry, Po Po, I overturned your water." His voice was low, and he seemed still scared.

Po Chi said "hmm", bent down to pick up the water scoop, and waved her hand to signal them to go.The kitchen window is facing the bamboo outside which looks very relaxing.There was still a small fire burning in the stove, and she lifted the lid of the pot, and a burst of fragrant smell came to her face.Yanzi, who was about to follow Yekui, was immediately attracted by the fragrance, unable to move, "Little Yekui, it smells so good."

Fragrance, it is indeed fragrance, but no matter how fragrant it is, it has nothing to do with them.Ye Kui was about to leave, but was stopped by Chi Po: "Don't dislike staying to eat noodles, maybe I haven't been here for a long time."

The fine white noodles are boiled in water, and after passing through the cool well water, they become more chewy.

The soup is boiled with pork bones and pork skin, spices such as star anise are added, and then seasoned with soy sauce, chives, salt and sugar.Boil until the soup is thick and gelatinous, and beat in the egg flower while it is hot.Stir-fry the minced pork, and put other things like bean sprouts on the surface, pour a spoonful of hot marinade on it and eat it.

Swallow was dumbfounded by the series of actions.

Ye Kui originally thought that she was so timid before that she would not dare to stay for dinner, but who knew that she was not afraid of anything because of eating.Yanzi sat on the small stool, chomped on the noodles, and muttered softly: "This is the first time I have eaten such good noodles, it must be precious."

Chi Po is old, but her ears are still sharp, and she is not annoyed when she hears this, she just said: "If you can't even part with the food you eat, what's the point of living?"

This is the first adage Ye Kui heard from Po Chi.

……

After leaving Yanzi, she quietly went to see Po Chi several times.

The day soon entered summer, and the weather became hotter and hotter day by day.

The sun in the sky was as red as salted duck eggs, and it was so red that it was about to drip oil.The water in the Peach Blossom River was half dried up in the sun, and the rice stalks in the fields were bent over sickly.

Walking by the side of the road, you can see someone's native dog lying at the door, with its mouth wide open and its tongue sticking out.

Ye Kui was sitting on the twig at the door, choosing vegetables, when she suddenly heard Chunxi calling her outside, "Little Ye Zi, come here."

She frowned, put down her things and went out. As soon as she got close, Chunxi dragged her to the bedroom.As soon as he entered the door, Chunxi asked, "21st century?"

Ye Kui was startled, "What?"

Chunxi snorted, pulled her to the side of the bed, took out the book from under the corner of the mat where she slept, and said triumphantly: "It's well hidden, don't say it's not yours. .”

What Ye Kui said made Ye Kui's hands and feet cold, so he could only pretend to be angry, "It's my mother's belongings, don't touch it!" As he spoke, he wanted to go forward to grab it.

Chunxi looked puzzled: "Your mother's relics? Heavenly king Gaidihu, pagoda suppressing river demon? Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing? Do you know?"

When Ye Kui heard this, she immediately affirmed it.

Beyond the Dayue Dynasty is the Tang Dynasty. Where did the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties come from in this world?What Chunxi said is something that only people from later generations know.But she didn't want to expose her identity as a time traveler, and she had Ye Shu by her side, so she must not let herself get into trouble.

Chunxi has a cunning and spoiled temperament, so naturally she can't tell the truth to this girl.

After making up her mind, Ye Kui pretended to be stupid: "I don't know what you're talking about, give it back to me quickly!" There are too many things in it that Chunxi can't know, and I don't know how much she just peeked at.Thinking of this, she raised her hand to grab it.

Seeing this, Chunxi also hurriedly yelled: "What are you grabbing, I'll see if it's not enough, it's really a lot of meat! I only read two pages, and I'll return it to you when I finish reading it later!"

Hearing this, he felt relieved, but Ye Kui's men didn't stop moving.

Chunxi Liu frowned, and ran outside.

Ye Kui hurriedly chased after her.

While pushing and shoving, Chunxi knocked down the shelf by the wall with a "squeak", and the water basin on top fell down heavily.Her feet were soaked in water, and when she slipped, she fell to the basin, and the book she held in her hand fell down, soaked in water, and drenched.

Chunxi yelled "Ouch", Ye Kui gave her a cold look, bent over to pick up the wet notebook and went outside.

A fire was lit under the stove, she went in and sat down in front of the stove, and when Chunlan who was in charge of the cooker wasn't paying attention, she threw the book in and burned it.

In the yard, Ding He was cursing loudly.

"You little whore, you bastard!"

"Black-hearted little goblin! Harm my son!"

"Kefu's dead star... died early..."

Ye Kui raised her head and looked at Chun Lan, the two shook their heads helplessly, as if they hadn't heard Ding He's ugly words.However, when it was time for lunch, the youngest of the Ding family had another big fight with the Ding He family, and everyone broke up unhappy.

Old Dingtou sighed and took his son down to the field, while Ding He went back to the house and pointed at the sky and cursed the earth.

Ye Kui couldn't help feeling bored.

Would it be a mistake for her to want to stay with Ye Shu?
Before she could think about it, Chunxi came over to pull her with wide eyes, pinched the back of her hand heavily, and said unhappily, "Where's the thing?"

Ye Kui pulled out her hand unhurriedly, pinched her hand back, and said, "I'll leave it to my mother for safekeeping."

"What?" Chunxi was surprised.

Ye Kui smiled: "If you don't believe me, go ask your mother."

Chunxi looked at Mrs. Mei, she didn't dare to ask, she could only stare at Ye Kui several times, and ran away with a cold snort.

After helping Mei's clean up the dishes, Ye Kui prepared to go to Chi Po'a.These days, she has learned a lot from Po Chi.Needlework, etiquette... She almost greedily sucks up all the resources she can get.Nothing, once you learn it, is never useless.One day, it will rescue you in times of crisis.She knew this very well, that's why she relied on Po Chi.

After entering the bamboo forest, she trotted to Grandma Chi's small courtyard, opened the door and went in, calling out, "Grandma..."

Chi Po heard the sound and turned around.One pair of eyes is dull and dull, and the other is like an ancient well.She looked at Ye Kui with her non-blind eye, and said, "Learn some tea today."

Ye Kui nodded honestly, and moved the tea set out with ease.

She never asked about Mrs. Chi, and Mrs. Chi never asked about her.Just because she was thick-skinned before, and then she showed a very intelligent side, which made Po Chi look at her differently.Since then, she has often come to see Chi Po, and Chi Po also taught her something when she came back.

And these are not things that country girls can understand and need to understand.

She was preparing for the day when the situation forced her to bring Ye Shu back to her father's family.As for Chi Po, she was just looking for a sustenance.

One taught and the other learned, and the time passed quickly.

At a quarter of the time, Ye Kui bid farewell and left.

There were no mistakes in the first place, but this time he just came out of the bamboo forest and was stopped by Xiao Jiu.

"Are you going to see Mrs. Chi?" He was wearing a half-worn summer shirt from Chunjiang, and he was standing with his trousers rolled up, holding a bundle of straw in his hand.If it weren't for his face that doesn't look like a country boy, this outfit really makes people think he is a native of Peach Blossom Village.

Ye Kui didn't answer and asked instead: "Po Chi is a good person."

Under the golden sun, Xiao Jiu frowned and said, "How do you know she's a good person?"

Ye Kui couldn't help but subconsciously changed the subject: "Are your hands all right?"

"It's been so long, of course it's all right." Xiao Jiu said helplessly, "Are you and Xiao Shu going to stay here forever?"

Unexpectedly, he would suddenly mention this, Ye Kui couldn't help being stunned: "Of course."

Xiao Yunniang died, her father never showed up, and she didn't even know where the Ye family in Fengcheng was.What's more, because of that kind of thing, Xiao Yunniang was pregnant and took her to escape with difficulty. When she was dying, she even told her not to trust the Ye family. Presumably, she was extremely unwilling to go back with Ye Shu.

That being the case, why did she ask for trouble.

Although it is under the fence of others now, but in the end, it is peaceful and will not harm life.

As she thought about it, she heard Xiao Jiu say: "I should probably go." It's unreasonable that no one came to him after such a long time, he could only find his own way to leave.

The little boy was wearing old village clothes, looking at her brightly.

Ye Kui nodded, but didn't know what to say.They were not biological brothers and sisters. She knew a long time ago that it was impossible for Xiao Jiu to stay in this small village for the rest of his life, and it was only a matter of time before he left.
