When Qi Xuan opened his eyes, he found that he was in a dimly dark room of soil embryos. The house is not only poorly lit, but the walls are also glowing yellow.
After realizing it, Qi Xuan realized that he was alone in the house. Qi Xuan shouted, "Gu Jiu, Huang Zhijian, Gu Jiu, Huang Zhijian."
Called several times, no one answered. An unprecedented panic emerged in Qi Xuan's heart: "Qiao Niang, Qiao Niang..."
Qiao Niang is the name of Aunt Dou. Her parents wanted her to be a girl with ingenuity, so they gave her such a name.
Seeing that no one responded yet, Qi Xuan got up and rushed out of the house. Then outside, there was no half of a person.
This is all gone, leaving him here alone. Just when Qixuan felt hopeless and helpless, Aunt Dou came back with a load of water.
Qi Xuan hurried over and asked, "Qiaoniang, why are you alone? Where are Gu Jiu and Huang Zhijian?"
Aunt Dou carried the water into the small shed. The stuff in it is too crude, except for two wooden barrels, pots and iron pots, and some wooden bowls and chopsticks, there is only a stove built with two stones.
Qi Xuan's eyes widened: "I'm leaving, just leave like this?" Without explaining for a while, he left.
"Would you stay here to accompany you if you don't leave?" After finishing speaking, Aunt Dou pointed to the mountain jungle beyond the edge: "If there is a way to go out, I won't stay here."
The house Gu Jiu found for Qixuan was actually two rough houses plus two small sheds. There are two rooms, one for sleeping and the other for stuffing. Two small sheds, a kitchen and a toilet.
Qi Xuan looked at the huge rock and whispered: "It's not easy to get to town in such a remote place." It takes a day to get to and from the town.
Aunt Dou didn't want to talk nonsense with Qixuan, and said, "Go and chop wood, I have to cook." I drank chicken soup in the morning, and there was still more than half of the chicken. Aunt Dou, adhering to the principle of no waste, packed the chickens.
After walking for so long, Qi Xuan was also hungry and grumbled: "What do you eat at noon?"
Hearing this, Aunt Dou's face collapsed: "I just went to see it, and there were only four bags of potato and four bags of sweet potatoes in the house. There was nothing else." There is still a part of these potatos and sweet potatoes. Come to be seeded.
King Xuan lived in a place where he had no food. Speaking of which, Aunt Dou felt that Yuxi was too ruthless.
Qi Xuan's face turned green in an instant: "There are only potato and sweet potato? Nothing else?"
Aunt Dou shook her head.
Qi Xuan came from the heart and said to himself: "Mother, do you want to starve me to death?"
Aunt Dou was actually a little apprehensive in her heart, but she couldn't see Qi Xuan's appearance, and immediately cursed: "Are you without hands or feet? This mountain is full of food. If you are willing to work, why don't you worry about not eating? "It's spring now, and some are wild plants and wild animals. As long as you are willing to find a way to get food, you will decide not to starve to death.
"It's easy to say, do you know what you can eat and what can't? What if you are poisoned by eating?" He has been wandering around these years and has heard that some people accidentally ate unknown wild fruits or mushrooms and died of poisoning.
Aunt Dou said angrily: "Are you deaf or dumb? Don't you know if you don't understand?"
Looking at the grass in front of him, Qi Xuan said, "There are no households in this deep mountain and old forest. Who will go?"
Pointing to a big stone in the distance, Aunt Dou said, "Turn that stone, it is Ajia Village. I got a tattoo of Gu Jiu, and he said that there are 38 households in this village, 2,160, and 5 villagers. ."
Qixuan felt slightly relieved when he heard that there were still more than two hundred people. It’s good if someone lives, I’m afraid it’s really just two of them. Such beasts attacked them, and no one came to help.
Qi Xuan looked at the unobstructed mountain jungle and couldn't help but said, "It's not convenient to buy firewood, rice, oil, salt, etc., if you live here."
Aunt Dou looked at Qixuan like an idiot.
"What are you doing?" He hated Aunt Dou looking at him the most. Obviously he is very good, but Aunt Dou looked at him as if she was looking at something. Make him extremely aggrieved.
Aunt Dou sneered: "This mountain is full of firewood, so you still need to buy it? Besides, in a place like this, in addition to buying salt, villagers don't spend money on such impractical things as soy, vinegar and tea." It's good to fill your stomach. No, don't think about other things.
Qi Xuan was silent. He had seen some people live well and hard before, and he even gave some of them money. It's just that I haven't experienced it personally.
"Hammer, hurry up to chop the wood. You are not hungry, I have to eat!" She was almost starving to death.
Qi Xuan found the scimitar and the axe. Later, Qixuan learned that only the chief in Ajia Village had iron tools such as scimitars and axes.
Qi Xuan, who had never played a heavy job, couldn't even cut firewood at one-fifth of Huang Zhijian's.
Although the size of the firewood cut varies, at any rate, I didn't slow down my work. So Aunt Dou didn't scold any more, but hurriedly started the fire and boiled the potato.
Glancing at Qixuan who was standing outside the low shed, Aunt Dou said, "You come to the fire, and I'll wash these things." The tin cans and tableware look new, but it's safer to wash them down.
Fang Bei Qixuan burned the kitchen, and Aunt Dou said while washing the dishes: "You add firewood in one time. If there are too many fortresses, the fire will be extinguished."
After a few words, Aunt Dou let go when he saw him burning, and brought water into the house for sanitation.
After going in for a while, Aunt Dou came out again. Seeing the fire was still flourishing, she glanced at Qi Xuan in amazement, "I didn't expect you to burn a fire?" Thinking of her brother, the first time a fire burned almost burned the kitchen.
"I have cooked before!" It's just that it was many years ago.
Aunt Dou sneered, but she didn't laugh at him.
Although Qi Xuan felt embarrassed, Aunt Dou's attitude annoyed him: "I have really cooked." If Pang Jinglun was there, he would definitely say that Qi Xuan would not eat the vegetables cooked by him.
Although Aunt Dou could not see what Qixuan did, she also knew that he was not the kind of talking. Moreover, the appearance of the fire just now is not like the first time I did it. Aunt Dou asked: "Aren't you saying that a gentleman goes to cook? How can you cook?"
How could Qixuan tell Aunt Dou about his depressed and impoverished past? If you want this shrew to know, you must make fun of him again.
Aunt Dou didn't have time to grind with him, so she turned around and went back to the house for sanitation.
In fact, apart from the three big packages they brought, there was only one bed, and the room didn't even have a chair. It's unbelievable when it's so simple.
Aunt Dou scrubbed the bed clean, and then dumped all the dirty water: "Yun Qixuan, you go and bring me water."
Qixuan didn't go: "I don't know where there is water."
Aunt Dou placed the bucket in front of Qixuan and said, "There is a spring water at the entrance of the village, and many people are carrying water there. You can see it when you go over it."
"Go ahead?"
Aunt Dou was so tired that she had a sore back and a pain in her back. Seeing that Qixuan was still pushing three things and four fires, she came up again: "The heavy work of carrying water actually pushes me a woman. Are you still a man?"
Qi Xuan's self-esteem was still very strong, even if he didn't want to, he still picked up the bucket and walked towards the village.
Aunt Dou looked at his back, and said to herself: "It's purely cheap." She didn't listen to her in a good voice, she had to scold him before she wanted to move.
Qi Xuan turned the boulder and saw a woman in a turban directly put the bucket in the spring water, and then filled it with a bucket full of water and lifted it up.
Several people stood beside this woman. Among these people are married and unmarried girls.
Over the years, Qixuan has also visited many places. Of course, he has never been to such deep mountains and old forests. But many places of interest have left his footprints.
Rao was the Qi Xuan who had seen the world, but he was seen by a few of them and almost fled.
After finally scooping up two buckets of water, Qi Xuan hurriedly picked up the bucket and walked away. The road was rugged and uneven, and Qi Xuan walked too eagerly without seeing his feet clearly. As a result, he tripped to the ground by a stone. Not only the palms and knees were scratched, but the water in the barrel was still spilling on the ground.
The women who had been looking at him giggled when they saw him, and then they carried water away.
Although Qixuan looked white and beautiful, it was not easy to survive in the mountains. No one looks down on a man who falls down even when carrying water.
Although Qi Xuan was very embarrassed in front of Yuxi, he still had a lot of face in front of her own woman. Under the water, he picked up the empty barrel and turned back.
Looking at Qixuan who was soggy and drenched, Aunt Dou asked, "What's wrong with you? Did you fall into the spring water?"
"Are there any medicines for injuries?" I just tried to do it, and now my palms and knees are hurting badly.
Seeing that the palms were red and her knees were also bruised, Aunt Dou cursed instead of feeling distressed: "You said you can fall down even if you lose yourself or carry water? We will really starve to death after you are like this."
Aunt Dou felt very suspicious when expecting him to go hunting for prey to feed the two of them. But at this point, there is no room for retreat.
Qi Xuan endured the pain and said, "Don't worry, I won't make you hungry." Even a woman can't feed him. He has lived in vain for more than thirty years.
Facts have proved that this is really not an easy task.
Aunt Dou originally wanted to ridicule Qixuan, but she swallowed her words to her lips, and then changed her words: "I believe you once." I hope that what Gu Jiu said is true, and Yun Qixuan really knows martial arts.
After speaking, Aunt Dou said: "Go and change your clothes, let's eat."
The so-called lunch is a wooden bowl of potato with chicken soup. There was really no food, Aunt Dou cooked the chicken again. Although the taste is faint, it is better than dried yam.
After eating, Qi Xuan said, "I'll see what's going on outside." This is where they live in the future, and they must understand the environment here.
Aunt Dou said, "It's not too late to go later. Let's first see where there is a place to grow food." Now it's the season of spring cultivation. If you grow potato and sweet potato earlier, you can harvest earlier. Of course, you should look for the village chief first and ask how to grow these things.
Dou's family lives by fishing, so Aunt Dou has never planted land. However, the vegetables are grown.
The two of them walked around the house and wanted to see if the surrounding land was suitable for growing potatoes or potatoes. There was a steep slope behind their house, and when they climbed the steep slope, they found that they were on a bottomless cliff.
