Ugly Man

Xia Qinyi happily waved the whip in her hand, and asked, "Little Lu, we still have a few days to reach Tianshan!"

"Follow the steps of this carriage and walk for three more days, and it should be there."

"It's great, I really want to see where you grew up."

"In fact, the Tianshan Mountain is nothing. There is only a cold mountain. The winter is very long. The grain can only mature once a year. The only advantage is probably: far from the Central Plains martial arts, the people's mind is simpler and incomparable to Huaxia Villa."

Xia Qinyi did not answer, but secretly said in her heart: How can it be the same? Huaxia Villa does not have you again.

Xia Qinyi had always been driving the car along the way, and Lu Nanzhu saw her unfamiliar movements and knew that this was her first time.

Lu Nanzhu wanted to take the whip several times and let Xia Qinyi rest for a while, but Xia Qinyi refused to say anything.

She was afraid of Xia Qinyi’s hard work, and suggested: "Let’s get out of the car and take a rest. The legs have been hanging like this, and walking hurts."

"good."

Xia Qinyi pulled the reins and jumped out of the carriage.

There is an endless grassland at the foot. At this time, it is late autumn in the north. Looking around, the withered yellow grass stretches endlessly to the horizon.

"Ah~" Xia Qinyi stretched lazily and took a deep breath.

Lu Nanzhu jumped out of the carriage and pointed to the north: "There is Tianshan Mountain."

"where is it?"

Xia Qinyi looked in the direction of Lu Nanzhu's fingers, but apart from a few clouds, she didn't see any mountains at all.

Lu Nanzhu blinked his eyes and replied, "Behind the cloud."

"Little Deer~ You are good or bad, tease me!"

The deer couldn't smile brightly, and suddenly caught a glimpse from the corner of his eyes, in a piece of yellow grass, a bunch of plush moved.

"hungry?"

"Are you hungry? Wait, I'll go to the carriage to get you dry food."

Lu Nanzhu gently grabbed Xia Qinyi's wrist and smiled mysteriously: "After eating dry food for so many days, do you want to eat some other flavors?"

"What to eat?"

Xia Qinyi was a little puzzled. Let alone shops on this road, there are no other shops. Where can I get other food?

"Do you still have any broken silver?"

Xia Qinyi drew it into her arms, took out a stack of silver bills and a few copper plates, all her cash had become daily necessities on the carriage.

Lu Nanzhu took a copper plate and blinked at Xia Qinyi: "Let me conjure you!"

After finishing speaking, he threw the copper plate out with a "swish", and the hare, which was hiding in the grass and almost the same color as the yellow grass, fell to the ground.

Lu Nanzhu wandered over and returned to Xia Qinyi's face with the ears of the hare: "Here, let's eat it. This season, the hare is the fattest."

Xia Qinyi looked at Lu Nanzhu with eyes full of admiration: The deer is really great, everything is good.

The shape of the Canglong Sword was not convenient for handling hares, so Xia Qinyi handed her Phoenix Blood Knife to Lu Nanzhu.

The magic weapon that everyone dreams of in the rivers and lakes is actually regarded as a swordsman. I don't know if the ancestors of Huaxia Villa know whether the Qiqiao will be angry.

The deer hurriedly cleaned up the hare, and the bonfire was raised, and the seasonings were readily available.

The two sat cross-legged, Lu Nanzhu whirled the hare in his hand, and sprinkled some condiments on the rabbit from time to time. After a while, the fragrance floated out.

Xia Qinyi's eyes were golden, the hare dripping with oil, swallowed her saliva; she has been eating dry food these few days, which can be said to be the most "poor" life Xia Qinyi has experienced since her birth.

Seeing Xia Qinyi like this, Lu Nanzhu couldn't help but laugh, and then felt a little bit of pity, speeding up the movement in his hands.

Lu Nanzhu picked up the hare that was tender on the outside and inside, and Xia Qinyi's gaze followed the hare.

"Okay, you can eat."

Lu Nanzhu pulled off a rabbit leg and handed it over: "Be careful."

With a "click", after the crispy rabbit skin was bitten into pieces, the tender rabbit meat inside was juicy and delicious.

"It's delicious!" Xia Qinyi's mouth was bulging, and she looked at Lu Nanzhu with a smile, and praised her craftsmanship.

"When you arrive in Tianshan, I will take you to a place where the fish is delicious on earth."

"Good~"

Most of a hare entered Xia Qinyi's stomach. She felt her stomach swell, so she simply leaned back and lay on the grass.

Lu Nanzhu put out the fire, lay down beside Xia Qinyi, and the two were close to each other, looking at the white clouds slowly drifting in the sky, enjoying the leisure time after dinner.

"Look, little deer, that cloud is like the rabbit we've eaten just now."

"Well, it's quite similar."

"And that one, like you!"

"like me?"

"Right? A fawn."

"Well, if I am a deer, what are you?"

Xia Qinyi replied without hesitation: "Then I am just a grass."

After finishing speaking, I was surprised that there was some Meng Lang, blushed, and stopped talking.

Lu Nanzhu smiled and said, "Even if you are grass, it is not an ordinary grass."

"what is that?"

"It's a fairy grass."

"why?"

"Let me tell you a story."

"Good~"

"The legend says that there are two disciples under the seat of Shennong, one is the crane and the other is the white deer; the two of them jointly guard the Shennong God’s Baicao Garden. The cranes can fly and are responsible for sowing the seeds of medicine. The fairy grass in the garden; if I were a deer, then you would be the fairy grass."

After hearing this short story, Xia Qinyi blushed.

I can't help but recall: the two years between her and Xiaolu have also confirmed this story.

The deer has always been guarding himself, whether he is the ugly man or the deer, he has never changed.

There was a sweetness in Xia Qinyi's heart, she was a little shy, and a little excited.

"Little Deer~"

"Um?"

"Why have I never heard this story? Where did you hear it?"

There are many books in Huaxia Villa, but Xia Qinyi has never seen this story.

"My mother told me, she knows many stories."

"It's so good... I don't even remember what my mother looked like."

"It doesn't matter, if you want to hear it, I will tell you all these stories in the future."

"A word is settled!"

"A word is a deal."

"That...retractor."

Speaking, Xia Qinyi stretched out her little finger and held it in front of Lu Nanzhu.

Lu Nanzhu smiled and hooked Xia Qinyi's finger.

The two girls, resting on the withered grass, facing the blue sky, reached an agreement.

Three days later, Tianshan.

Turning a vertical mountain range, a wonderful place appeared in front of Xia Qinyi's eyes, which was the location of Shiyin Village.

Xia Qinyi was very curious, and looked around all the way, Lu Nanzhu walked into the village with the carriage, and first arrived at the grandmother's house.

Hearing the sound of horseshoes, Little Bean Sprout opened the curtain, shouted "Sister Deer", and ran out of it like flying.

"This is the little bean sprouts?"

"Um."

Lu Nanzhu squatted down, picked up the small bean sprouts, and lifted up: "The small bean sprouts have grown taller and heavier."

"Sister Lu." Little Bean Sprouts held Lu Nanzhu's neck tightly with both hands, with an intimate smile on his face.

Little Huzi also walked out of the room. He hadn't seen him for a few months. The little Huzi grew a lot taller. The hair that had been gathered around his forehead was tied to the top of his head, and he looked like a young man.

"Sister Deer."

"Little tiger, come here, where is the grandmother?"

"Grandma went to Granny Ding's house."

Lu Nanzhu smiled and said, "It seems that in the days when I was away, Xiaohuzi studied very hard, I am very proud."

Little Huzi proudly stiffened his thin chest, showing a small tiger tooth.

The two brothers and sisters looked curiously at Xia Qinyi, who came with him. Lu Nanzhu took the small bean sprouts in his arms and introduced: "This is my good friend. You two call her Sister Xia."

"Sister Xia."

"Sister?" Little Bean Sprout tilted his head, a little strange, he was obviously his brother?

"It's my sister. I just went out for a walk. For convenience, Sister Xia and I changed into men's clothing. Don't you think Sister Lu wears men's clothing?"

"Oh, Sister Xia."

"Hello~"

"Sister Xia bought this carriage, Xiaohuzi, take the carriage and walk around the village to find out what is missing from someone's house, and give it to everyone."

"good."

"Sister Deer, I want to ride a carriage~"

Lu Nanzhu put the small bean sprouts on the carriage, let Xiaohuzi lead them, and watched the two go away.

"This is where you grew up~ It's great!"

"Unfortunately, there are only five villagers left. Except for Xiaodou Sprout and Xiaohuzi, the rest are all elderly; maybe in a few years, Shiyin Village will no longer exist."

"Who said~ This place is quiet and simple, I can live in seclusion here too!"

Lu Nanzhu smiled and shook his head, only taking Xia Qinyi's words as a joke; she is the next generation of the Patriarch of Huaxia Villa, so how could she be separated from the rivers and lakes.

"Let's go, I will take you to my house and sit down."

"Good~"

Entering the small courtyard of Lu Nanzhu's house, Xia Qinyi saw the plaque in the medical room, and his eyes lit up: "Can I go in and have a look?"

"Of course, come, I will show you around."

The medical room has an opposite structure. The back door and the front door are on a central axis. The clean and bright air in the room is filled with a faint fragrance of herbs.

On the east wall is a one-person high medicine cabinet with dozens of square drawers, each with the name of medicinal materials written on it.

On the table are guillotine knives and stone pots and pestles, and on the other table is a small sleeper, which should be the place to give the patient's pulse.

The author has something to say: deer eat grass.

Well, this can be said to be very clear.

Xia Qinyi: What about the guardian? How can you guard against theft(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻

Lu Nanzhu: Hehehe, of course it’s the safest inside the stomach, the outside world is very dangerous, come on~
