There are flowers and wine, hoeing and farming

Chapter 13

After the two entered the room, Zheng Cang remained silent, probably because he didn't know how to get along with such a big child.

Cheng Qiaoqiao saw his thoughts and let go of his clothes: "Brother Zheng, what do you do on weekdays?"

"Going up the mountain, hunting, gathering herbs, chopping firewood, farming, practicing kung fu..." Zheng Cang frowned and thought, as if that was all, and he couldn't think of anything else for the time being.

Qiaoqiao then asked: "Then what are you going to do today?" After speaking, she looked at him expectantly, her eyes blinking.

Zheng Cang thought she wanted to play with him, and then smiled: "Yesterday, I cut some firewood and went down the mountain. Today, I will let grandpa go up the mountain alone to collect herbs. I will stay at home to chop firewood, but there is no rush."

"It's okay, you go chop wood, and I'll watch from the side."

Zheng Cang looked down at his new clothes, went into the room and changed into the old one.

After putting the firewood on the board, Zheng Cang picked up the ax and was about to strike when he saw Qiaoqiao take two steps, crouched to one side, and stared.

"Stay away, the wood slag will fall over."

"Oh." Squatting farther away, Qiaoqiao looked at her with her chin on her hands.

Zheng Cang chopped the firewood effortlessly. He lifted it up and dropped it down easily, and saw the thick branch being split in half neatly.

He didn't feel bored by repeating this action mechanically, and Cheng Qiaoqiao, who was squatting by the side, was even more interested in watching. Of course, apart from a few words of emotion when she first saw the neat firewood, The rest of the time was spent watching the firewood chopper.

Working hard, Zheng Cang didn't realize that Langyan was watching him up and down.

His hair is not combed neatly, but he has an unruly and casual feeling. He sweated from the heat of work, dripping down his forehead, and the brown clothes on his upper body were also soaked in sweat, clinging to his body, waving When the ax is falling, there is a kind of casual and natural beauty of strength.

Qiaoqiao couldn't help saying: "Brother Zheng, you're sweating, take off your clothes."

Zheng Cang didn't know whether his face turned red because he was tired or because of this sentence. He shook his head. Although the girl is still young, she is still a girl after all. It doesn't matter if she leads her to play or walks with her in her arms, but she has to be naked like this Clothes, he still felt a little embarrassed.

Seeing that he didn't intend to take it off, Qiaoqiao didn't seem too regretful, so she continued, "Brother Zheng, what are you picking herbs for?"

"Go and sell it at the pharmacy and exchange it for some money."

"Brother Zheng, do you also recognize those herbs? Next time, will you take me there? I want to save my own money and buy something for my mother. She loves me very much."

This sentence is very childish, just like every child, they like to show off how much their parents love them, or how rare something in their house is. Zheng Cang heard that she was going to buy something for his mother, hesitated, and asked: "It's not very valuable, your family let you out?"

"Brother Zheng go find me, and I'll be able to get out." After finishing speaking, he smiled and looked at him, with a hint of prayer.

Zheng Cang nodded.

Qiaoqiao was full of enthusiasm, but she didn't show it on the surface, lest she would scare others, and then said: "Brother Zheng, who did you learn Kungfu from? Are you good at Kungfu?"

"I learned it from the master before, but the master left and left a book for me to learn by myself."

Qiaoqiao nodded, disapproving, she felt that the so-called flying over the roofs and walls was deceiving people on TV. In her mind, people in ancient times were not without real knowledge of kung fu, but there were few of them. She was better at hunting than others, and she changed the subject: "Then you can also hunt? With bows and arrows? Knives?"

Zheng Cang shook his head, put down the ax in his hand, piled the chopped firewood aside, washed his face and hands after finishing, and sat cross-legged next to Qiaoqiao: "None, I can't afford knives, bows and arrows, an arrow is enough If you want more money, you may not be able to sell much prey.”

Qiaoqiao was surprised and asked: "Then how to hunt?"

Pointing to a long wooden stick in the corner of the house, some nets scattered on the ground, and a few wires: "Use these."

stick? ? ?

Cheng Qiaoqiao began to fantasize that Zheng Cang hit a staggering little gray rabbit with a stick, put it on his shoulder, and then tied up the wire that made the trap and a few pheasants in the net and sent it to the market Sell.

No wonder they can't sell much, these things are worthless at all, Cheng Qiaoqiao looked at him pitifully.

Zheng Cang made her look a little cold, walked over, picked up the wooden stick and shook it, like telling a story, said to the curious baby squatting on the ground: "Now is not a good day for hunting, spring is the time for those prey It’s time to give birth to cubs, just wait a few days. At that time, I’ll kill a fox and skin it to make you a little vest for winter.”

Foxes run very fast, can you catch them?

Cheng Qiaoqiao felt that picking herbs with him was a reliable way to make a little money, hunting or something, or forget it.

Zheng Cang hardly had much experience in getting along with other children, especially the little girl in front of him. After sitting for a while, he went into the room and changed his sweat-stained clothes.

Now that the child has come to find me, let's take her to have fun for a while.Zheng Cang doesn't know how to coax the child, so he can only take out the things he knows, so he walked to the yard, bent down and hugged Qiaoqiao's knees to hug her up.

"Take you to play."

"Where to go?"

Zheng Cang didn't speak, he held her a little tighter and ran forward.

"Huh?" Qiaoqiao called out, didn't she run towards the wall?

Zheng Cang ran for about seven or eight steps, squatted down slightly and rushed upwards, Qiaoqiao only felt her body fall off the ground, she hugged Zheng Cang's neck in fright, feeling the whistling wind.

After calming down, he actually stood on the wall.Qiaoqiao looked at Zheng Cang in disbelief, extremely excited.

This fence is very high, much higher than an adult man, more than two meters, he didn't need to climb, he just jumped up with a few run-ups, and stood firmly on it, This, this, this, if Hyundai is allowed to play basketball, wouldn't he be the absolute rebounding king?
Cheng Qiaoqiao quickly retracted the idea of ​​so-called kung fu that she had looked down upon just now, and looked at him adoringly.

"Brother Zheng?"

"kindness?"

"Is it a lot of work to climb the fence?"

Zheng Cang sat on it, broke a branch that blocked their sight, and said flatly: "It's not a waste of time? Do you think you have run a few steps? You don't need to run on weekdays. I will hold you, and safety comes first." , so I ran a few more steps before coming up."

Qiaoqiao swallowed, feeling that she had misunderstood what he said, and decided to continue to ask: "Then, what can you hunt all the time?"

"Not necessarily. Most of them are hares and pheasants. They can't be sold for a lot of money. Sometimes wild boars and foxes can be hunted. Another time, a tiger was hunted, but the tiger was already old, so I took advantage of it. Wolf It is impossible to fight, to hold grudges, and they all appear in groups."

Listen, listen, foxes needless to say, wild boars are even more aggressive animals, and there is also a tiger, no matter how old or young it is, a tiger!
Qiaoqiao was so excited that she couldn't speak, the eyes that looked at Zheng Cang had completely developed to the point of blind and fanatical worship.

But she calmed down quickly: "The fox skin, tiger skin, and wild boar meat are all very valuable, right? You can buy a lot of candy."

Zheng Cang smiled. As expected of a child, money is measured by how much candy can be exchanged for.He shook his head: "Not much, just enough sugar for a month."

Qiaoqiao understands that, nine times out of ten, she was cheated.

Forget it, it will take some time to go hunting, and when we get to know each other well, and let mother or father help him, he will definitely be able to sell more money. Hunting is dangerous, so he should get the reward he deserves. Faced with this The little brother who almost saved her life, although Cheng Qiaoqiao has saved some friends who are her first in another world, she wants to use him to help her earn a little extra money, but the more important thing is to be able to repay him Help him.

After asking so many questions, Qiaoqiao didn't want to say anything more. Sitting on the wall, she looked at this place she had never been to, and pointed to a big rock not far away: "Brother Zheng, can you fly there?" ?”

"Yes." Zheng Cang got up and fell down, kicked his toes and sprinted out, without even touching the ground, and went directly to the big rock that Qiaoqiao was pointing at.

Qiaoqiao clapped her hands, her face flushed with excitement, her little feet were dangling on the wall: "It's amazing, I want to go there too."

Zheng Cang rushed back again, this time with a little buffer, went up to hug Qiaoqiao, like flying, only fell to the ground when he couldn't hold his breath, then leaned over and kicked hard again, just like that, Has been running toward the distance.

Qiaoqiao's happy giggles spread far away, and lingered on this empty ground for a long time.

After Zheng Cang came back from exhaustion, both of them blushed. Zheng Cang directly twisted the well water and splashed it on his face. Qiaoqiao wanted to follow his lead but was stopped. After she kept it for a few hours, it was no longer so cold. Qiaoqiao pouts her mouth and washes it unwillingly.

Gollum~~~
The two looked at each other, Qiaoqiao laughed and rubbed her belly.

"Brother Zheng, I'm hungry, take me home."

"Okay." Zheng Cang wanted to hug her again, Qiaoqiao took a few steps back and said, "I'm walking, you're tired."

"I am not tired."

Qiaoqiao insisted not to let him hug her, so Zheng Cang had no choice but to take her by the hand and send her home.

"Are you eating at my house?"

"My grandpa is back, we want to eat together."

"Oh, then I'll find you to play with, okay?"

"it is good."

At the door of the house, Qiaoqiao held his hand and refused to let go. After Ning opened the door, she saw her little daughter's face was overflowing with joy, her eyes were shining brightly, she could see that she was having fun, she turned and went to the kitchen , took out two scallion pancakes that I had just made, and wrapped them in a piece of cage cloth.

"Take it and eat it."

"Do not……"

"Don't be polite to auntie, just take it, and just bring me my basket later. My Qiaoqiao didn't bother you today, did I?"

"No, I'm listening."

Ning patted her daughter's head with a smile: "Just treat her as a younger sister."

"Well, then I'm leaving, auntie."

"Let's go, let's go home and have dinner, I won't keep you either."

Zheng Cang looked at Qiaoqiao, seeing her tilting her head and waving to him, his heart warmed, and he also waved and left.
