The beautiful pastoral field of Jiangmen girl

Chapter 96 Susukita Was Robbed (3)
Qingyang was led back dejectedly, and Gu Yuanbao followed behind dejectedly, still thinking about the sad thing that he would never be able to eat delicious jerky again.

After walking a few steps, they met people from Quanfu who were looking for them.Qingyang was languid, and was about to get into the carriage, but he heard a peddler on the side of the road yelling "buy fruit, rare fruit, sweet and sour purple fruit..." while staggering towards them come.

Qingyang looked back, his eyes lit up for a moment, then immediately darkened again.He remembered again that he had no money with him.

Gu Qiang shook his head and waved, "Fruit seller, this way."

The peddler responded happily, as if he was afraid that Gu Qiang would change his mind, he bravely ran over, not breathing well, and hurriedly put down his burden, and lifted the coarse cloth covering one bamboo basket, "Master , sweet and sour purple fruit, try it, it's delicious, picked in the mountains, fresh and rare."

There are bunches of small purple-black round fruits, and Gu Qiang saw them, "What kind of fruit is this? Why haven't I seen it before?"

The peddler looked like Shiliu Qi, skinny and skinny. He explained hastily, "Master, sir, you should have never seen it. The little one picked it in the mountains with my brother. The little one has eaten it, no It’s poisonous, it’s absolutely not poisonous, if you don’t believe me, try it, try it.” He was telling the truth, he and his brother went hunting in the deep mountains, and accidentally found a few strange trees, which were full of purple fruits and semi- Green and half purple fruit.

Because the two brothers were treated coldly by their relatives, they had no land to grow, no food to eat, and they did some part-time jobs, living a life of hunger and full meals.Later, the two brothers gritted their teeth. In order to improve their living conditions, they borrowed a pickaxe from the neighbor on the left and a machete from the neighbor on the right. Carrying some damaged backpacks, they boldly walked into the deep mountains and wild forests where no one dared to enter. middle.

The two brothers walked in the mountains for two days. Fortunately, they didn't encounter any beasts. Unfortunately, they didn't hunt anything. They could only pick some wild vegetables and weeds to wrap their stomachs.Later, it was discovered that some of these fruits were half green and half purple, and some were purple and black all over.The two brothers, who were starving and dizzy, were not afraid of being poisoned, so they picked it off and ate until they were full, and then lay down on the ground waiting to die.

But after lying down for a long time, their brothers were still fine, so they knew that the fruit was not poisonous, so they picked it out and sold it.They sold it from the town to the county seat, and went to Jinyang City this morning, but no one believed that their fruit was not poisonous, and no one bought it.If they can't sell it today, the two brothers are really desperate.

Looking at the peddler's skinny appearance, the clothes on his body are also very worn and full of patches.Gu Qiang guessed that this was a boy from a poor family who couldn't get enough to eat. After hearing the boy's explanation whether it was poisonous or not, he understood that no one would recognize or buy this fruit.He also murmured in his heart, but he felt compassion again, "Eat one, if you eat, I'll buy it."

The peddler's eyes lit up, he hurriedly grabbed two or three fruits, stuffed them into his mouth, swallowed a few bites into his belly, wiped his mouth, "Master, you are kind-hearted, two cents a catty, buy more!"

Gu Qiang was pulling out a money bag, Qingyang came over, picked up a bunch curiously, got into the carriage, and showed Qingshu, "Sister, look, what a strange fruit."

Qingshu could hear the conversation outside clearly, now seeing the thing in Qingyang's hand, with a deliberately stiff face, she couldn't hold it anymore, and took it with a look of surprise, "This is, this is It's..." Isn't this a grape?Some of them have lost moisture, and it is estimated that they have been picked for two or three days, but there are no bad ones, and they are well preserved.

Seeing that Qingshu was happy, Qingyang became more courageous, "Sister, that person said they were picked in the mountains, called Ziguozi."

The fruit picked in the deep mountains, the fruit no one has eaten, the grapes that no one in Da'an recognizes.Qingshu managed to suppress the excitement in her heart, and quickly told Xiaojuan to let the peddler come forward to speak.

The peddler won thirteen copper coins and gave Gu Qiang about eight or nine catties of purple fruit. He was happily going to take the burden to report the good news to his brother, but when he heard the lady wanted to ask questions, he panicked. Periodically, Ai Ai looked at Gu Qiang.

Gu Qiang nodded, he was an honest boy, so he accompanied the peddler to the right side of the carriage, and told Qing Shu who was sitting in the carriage that he was brought here.

Qingshu in the car asked through the curtain: "Where did you pick it from the mountain? You answered well, you bought all the purple fruits you picked."

The peddler was overjoyed, and he didn't know what secrecy was. "Yes, in the mountains of Kangxi Town. My little one is in Kangjia Village, south of Kangxi Town. I entered the mountain from the back of the village."

"How many purple fruit trees are there in the mountain?"

"Three, three." He stammered nervously.

After a while, Xiaojuan got out of the car and stood in front of the peddler: "Miss keeps her word. I bought all the fruits you picked. We are going to Kangxi Town. If it is convenient for you, follow the carriage and horses and arrive at Kangxi Town." Xi Town, the steward will point you to a place. You go back, go into the mountains, pick all the purple fruits, and send them to the place designated by the steward. As you said, you will receive two cents per catty."

The peddler was so happy, he grinned and couldn't close his mouth for a long time, "Little Kang Shuanzi, thank you kind lady, thank you, thank you. This, that, the little brother sells fruits at the south gate, that fruit, fruit... ..." He wanted to ask if he wanted to buy it too, but he felt that he was not authentic, so he went to the back and silenced.

Qingyang poked his head out, "I bought it, I bought it all. You lead the way."

Kang Shuanzi groaned, picked up the burden with dancing, ran to the front of the team, and walked in the direction of the city gate.

Gu Qiang wanted to say something but didn't say it, so he set off, and a group of people followed Kang Shuanzi, who was in a daze, and went straight to the south gate.This Jinyang City has two gates, a north gate and a south gate.If you go to Kangxi Town in the southeast of Jinyang City, it is relatively close to the south gate.

Kang Shuanzi's elder brother was half a head taller than Kang Shuanzi, but he was also skinny and looked like he would fall over when the wind blew.When Kang Shuanzi clarified with his elder brother Kang Shuanzhu dancing and handed over the thirteen copper coins, Kang Shuanzhu wiped the corners of his eyes, put away the thirteen copper coins with trembling hands, smacked his head three times at the carriage Qingshu was sitting in, and then challenged After taking up the burden, he and his younger brother followed behind the Gu family.

Qingshu in the car, don't tell anyone, didn't even know that someone gave her three smacks.

Seeing the way the two brothers were drifting while walking, some people couldn't bear it and looked at Gu Qiang.Gu Qiang nodded, and two strong men took over the burden of the two brothers without any explanation, picked it up and left.

Gu Yuanbao got the two whole grain flour buns that Xu Sanniang handed out from the car, ran to the back, and stuffed them into the hands of the two brothers, "Padded your stomach, I have a water bag here if you're thirsty, just ask me for it."

The two brothers were each holding a steamed rice bun, speechless for a moment.

Gu Yuanbao scratched his head and walked with them, "Is your village far from Gujia Village?"
