When I left the cloth shop, I happened to see the candied haws. Qixuan saw Ai Hua staring at it eagerly, and stepped forward to buy him one.
Nico wanted to stop: "Sir, you can't buy what he wants. You will spoil him like this."
Qi Xuan smiled and said, "It's just buying one for him to try, so I'm spoiled." The child's curiosity is so heavy. In fact, things at home are better than those outside. But when I went to the street, I wanted to taste everything.
A bunch of candied haws only contained six hawthorns. Ai Hua ate two and stopped eating, and re-wrapped the rest.
Nico asked, "Why don't you finish it?" Ai Hua was at home and gave him everything quickly.
Ai Hua said, "I want to keep it for Ah Ye and Ai Shan." How can such a delicious food be enjoyed alone, you must let your younger brothers and sisters taste it.
Qi Xuan touched Ai Hua's head and said with a smile: "Ai Hua is really a good brother." When he was a child, his eldest brother would give each of their three brothers a copy when he got good things.
Thinking about it this way, Qi Xuan missed his brothers and sisters in Beijing especially. Unfortunately, he can't go home now.
At the gate of the city, Qixuan saw a noodle soup maker who wanted to eat. But Gu Jiu stopped him: "If you want to eat noodles, it won't be too late to eat in town."
Qi Xuan originally wanted to say that it was going to be night in the town, but Gu Jiu shook his head slightly towards him. Although he was puzzled, he nodded and said, "Okay, let's go to town to eat."
After leaving the city gate, Qi Xuan asked, "What's wrong? Why can't you eat noodles in it?" Gu Jiu is not a trivial person, there must be something wrong.
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "We are being followed. There are still a lot of people, nine of them."
Qi Xuan's expression changed slightly, but he soon calmed down: "Why are they following us?" These people shouldn't be directed at him. He looks like this, unless he is particularly familiar, otherwise he really can't recognize him.
Gu Jiu pointed to Niti and said, "These people came for the silver in his basket." Four hundred taels of silver, which is a huge sum of money. But if it is targeted by a thief, there is no problem. But now it is being followed by a group of people, and this problem has become a big issue. It seems that Heijin County has now become the Heiwo County of the county.
Niti and Niko knew that someone wanted to rob them, their expressions changed drastically: "If they dare to grab our silver, I will kill them."
That's what I said, but when I heard that there were nine people, Niti didn't want to confront these people head-on, and suggested not to take the road and go the mountain.
Qi Qixuan nodded in agreement with his proposal.
In order to get rid of these people, Nico carried Ai Hua on his back. As a result, half an hour later, this group of people actually appeared in front of them. I want to know that they must have taken a shortcut.
Seeing these people holding long knives in their hands, the faces of Niguo and Niti became very serious in an instant. However, even if the opponent has a large number of people and weapons in their hands, they have not thought about giving up the hard-earned silver.
The head was a man with a face full of scars and scars all over his body: "If you are acquainted, quickly hand over your silver." With this amount of silver, the brothers will be able to drink spicy food during this time.
Niti held the spear in his hand and said, "Don't think about it." This is the money they made with their lives, how can they give these robbers.
Upon seeing this, Scar Man said, "If this is the case, then don't blame us for being rude. Brothers, come on."
Niti fought with these people. Qi Xuan didn't retreat either, dropping his back basket and carrying a broadsword to join the battle.
These local ruffians rely on a large number of people. But Nigu and Niti are both master hunters, and Qi Xuan's martial arts are not low. Although three to nine, they are not at a disadvantage.
One of the short ones wanted to make a quick fight, so he set his sights on Gu Jiu and Ai Hua. For them, the old and the weak are the best to deal with. Having caught these two, I am not afraid that these people will not yield.
Seeing this man approaching the two of them, Gu Jiu smiled and said, "If you dare to go forward, I will kill you."
The shorter one laughed straight: "You are scared to be an old man." After saying that, the two of them rushed to noisy.
Before getting close to the two of them, I suddenly felt a pain in my neck. The short man touched his neck reflexively, and then he saw the blood on his hand.
Looking at Gu Jiu, the short one looked terrified: "You..." Before he finished speaking, he fell down.
Since Gu Jiu had already shot, it was impossible to kill only one. Killing the short one, he never let go of the other eight, all of them cut their throats with a sword.
Niguo and Niti looked at the nine people lying in a pool of blood, their faces pale in fright. Looking at Gu Jiu again, both of them had fear in their eyes. This man murdered without blinking his eyes. It was terrible.
Qi Xuan was very calm, and said to the two of them: "Pick up things, you have to rush to town before the sun sets." Such a person would die.
Nico returned to his senses and yelled: "Ai Hua..." The child would be frightened when he saw such a bloody side.
When he finished calling, he found Ai Hua was lying on the ground with his eyes closed. It looked like he was asleep.
Gu Jiu said calmly: "The child is asleep, and he won't wake up until a while." Where did he fall asleep, he fainted Ai Hua. Such a bloody scene is not suitable to be seen by such a small child. Otherwise, it will cast a shadow.
Nico was relieved.
Qi Xuan said: "Pack your things and don't leave anything. Before dark, we have to rush to town. We will go back to the mountains early tomorrow morning."
With this, they dare to delay there. Because they were walking fast, they arrived in town before the sun had set.
Gu Jiu turned towards Niti and said to Nigu: "The two of you are not suitable to go to the town, go to the mountain first, and we will come to meet you tomorrow morning." At the foot of the mountain, there is no danger.
Although most of the day has passed, Niti and Nico have not recovered yet, and they are still panicking. When you get to town like this, you will definitely be seen by someone with a heart. Once someone comes to investigate this matter, it is easy to find them. They will go to the county town once a month from now on, which will be a hassle. To prevent this from happening, let them go up the mountain first.
Of course, it is also possible that the arrests in the county could not find out anything, but Gu Jiu was unwilling to sprout out of it.
Niti and Niko nodded quickly: "Okay, let's go up the mountain now." What happened today scared the two of them. The mountain is too dangerous, so go back to the mountain to be safe.
Ai Hua looked at the strange place and asked, "Sir, where is this place?"
"Don't you want to come to town? This is the town." After speaking, he took Ai Hua's hand and said, "Come on, let's go eat noodles."
There is only one noodle shop in the town, so I don’t have to pick it. Fortunately, the noodles taste good.
After Ai Hua finished eating, he looked at Qixuan and said, "Sir, can I come to town with you next time?"
Qi Xuan shook his head and said, "Not for the time being, I'll take you down after a few months." After the turmoil subsided, he took Ai Hua to the county seat. Now the wind and waves are taking him insecure.
Ai Hua was extremely happy.
After eating, Gu Jiu went to a place to pick up a package, and then took Qi Xuan and Ai Hua to Su Qi's house.
Qi Xuan said to Zhu Qi, "I went to the county to buy some things. It's getting late now and I want to stay here for one night." As for what I bought, he didn't say much.
Su Qi didn't ask much, and arranged them to sleep in the guest room. The so-called guest rooms are Datongpu. There are two guest rooms in Su Qi's house, both of which are prepared for the villagers of Aga Village.
In other people's homes, it is impossible to be as particular as at home. Qixuan rinsed himself with Ai Hua, washed his face, and then went to bed.
Ai Hua is good, and fell asleep as soon as he went to bed.
Qi Xuan lay on the bed and asked Gu Jiu: "What did you take just now?"
"Aren't you going to paint for your wife? I went to get you some fine pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and paint." Using that inferior product to paint the empress dowager's status reduces the status of the empress dowager.
"good."
Gu Jiu was too lazy to talk to Qixuan, turned his head and went to sleep. After running for a day, I was exhausted. There is a vigil at night, so you can have a good night's sleep.
On the second day, Qixuan purchased salt, corn and other seeds, which were full of more than 100 catties.
Gu Jiu didn't mean to help.
Ai Hua couldn't see it, and walked to Qixuan's side and said: "Sir, give me the bag, let me carry it!"
In the back basket are some food and miscellaneous things, which add up to more than ten catties. However, it was inconvenient to carry a heavy load on his back, as he wanted to hand it over to Gu Jiu.
"You can't handle such a heavy thing..."
Gu Jiu interrupted Qi Xuan's words, and said, "Since she wants to carry it, you can carry it to her!"
The height of the back basket is about the same as Ai Hua. And a seven-year-old kid has to carry more than ten kilograms of heavy things, you can imagine how difficult it is.
Ai Hua walked for a while and couldn't walk anymore, standing still and looking at Gu Jiu eagerly.
"Are you still brave?"
Ai Hua lowered his head and said, "I also want to share some for my husband." The blame is only on him, the strength is too small.
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "It's okay that you want to share the burden for him, but you have to do what you can. If you want to do something beyond your ability, you will definitely fall back."
Ai Hua said: "Don't dare next time."
Gu Jiu didn't take the back basket either, but took out more than half of the contents. There are four or five kilograms of things left in the basket, which Aihua can bear.
Because of the weight-bearing walking, the footwork is very slow. After more than half an hour's journey, they were stupefied for more than an hour.
Seeing the two of them, Niguo and Niti hurried up to pick up Qixuan and Aihua's things.
Niti asked anxiously, "Is anyone in the government chasing me?"
Qi Xuan shook his head and said, "No. Don't be afraid. Stay on the mountain during this time and don't come out. No matter how they are, they won't be able to find you." . This matter is almost impossible to stop. It's just that these are his guesses, so he didn't say either.
