Chapter 16
"Liu Lu?" At this moment, the man called her suspiciously.
Xu Jiaoxing looked around. Was there any figure anywhere? The man's eyes were empty and lifeless, as if he couldn't see anything at all.
Seeing that no one answered her, the man groped for the table, stood up, and staggered towards Xu Jiaoxing.
Xu Jiaoxing was just feeling regretful that although this man was very handsome, his eyes were not working well, when suddenly he heard another "bang" sound, and the man fell straight to the ground!
Xu Jiaoxing frowned, she could no longer sit back and watch like this. She quickly went up to help him. The man took her hand and tried to stand up, but instead, he grabbed a handful of bamboo rat hair.
His handsome brows frowned slightly, and he slowly touched the bamboo rat with both hands. After a moment, he finally smiled and said, "No wonder you ignored me after calling for a long time. It turns out it's because of this thing."
Xu Jiaoxing was startled, and slowly stretched out a hand and waved it in front of him. The man still didn't react at all. It was only then that Xu Jiaoxing was sure that he was really blind!
She was stunned for a moment, and he had already grabbed the bamboo rat in her hand.
"Everything has its spirit, but you can't let it have a chance of survival just because of your naughtiness."
The man calmed down for a moment and then let the bamboo rat go. Xu Jiaoxing didn't expect him to do this at all. By the time she reacted and tried to catch the bamboo rat back, the bamboo rat had already slipped out of sight.
It’s time to shadow!
Xu Jiaoxing looked back at the man, suddenly furious: "I came here to help you out of kindness, why did you let my bamboo rat go!"
The smile on the man's lips froze. Before he could answer, Xu Jiaoxing had already spread her hands towards him: "You pay me! I have to sell this bamboo rat to the county!"
A trace of embarrassment flashed across the man's face, but he still lowered his head and touched his body: "I don't have any silver, only a piece of jade. If you don't mind it, girl, take it."
As he spoke, he took off the jade from his waist and gave it to her in the palm of his hand.
Xu Jiaoxing coughed dryly, a little unsure: "Do you really want to give it to me?"
The man smiled warmly: "It's just a jade, it's worth giving it a chance to live."
Xu Jiaoxing frowned. After hearing what he said, she felt as if she had committed a serious crime. She felt slightly annoyed. She took the jade in his hand and said loudly: "Don't regret it."
The man smiled slightly and didn't answer.
At this time, not far away, a woman wearing a green dress and her hair in a girl's bun came over. Seeing the man lying on the ground, she glanced at Xu Jiaoxing with vigilant eyes and hurried to help him: "Master,
What’s wrong with you."
"It's okay, it's a little cold in the mountains. Liu Lu, please help me go back." The man pursed his lips and nodded in the direction of Xu Jiaoxing.
Liu Lu once again glanced at Xu Jiaoxing with dissatisfaction, and hurriedly helped the man to walk forward. After only a few steps, she finally said worriedly: "Master, why are you with a smelly girl with sores on her face?"
?”
The man paused and said in a calm voice: "Don't discuss right and wrong behind others' backs."
Liu Lu pouted, not daring to say another word. After they left, Xu Jiaoxing put the jade away and walked back, thinking about the origin of this person who regards money as dirt. In her impression, Bai
There is no such person in Miao Village.
Returning to the hillside behind the bamboo rat cave again, Xu Xianghui's abusive voice exploded in my ears: "Where did this fool Xu Jiaoxing go? If you set a fire in the mountain, you will be caught. She thinks our Xu family has enough peace."
Can’t do it?”
Xu Jiaoxing held her breath. When she started to light the fire, she deliberately moved all the firewood around her. When she choked the bamboo rat, the fire was almost extinguished by her. Where did the fire come from?
Dazed, she turned her head and looked out between the gaps in the bamboo, and saw Xu Xiangqiao hurriedly walking towards the dry wood. After careful confirmation, she said to Xu Xianghui: "Xianghui, it's okay, the fire has been put out.
"
"Extinguished? If this idiot can light one fire, he can light a second fire. We are all sitting on the same mountain. Don't be too happy. If you ask me, let's leave quickly to avoid being dragged down by her.
"While talking, Xu Xianghui was already walking down the mountain with the hoe.
Seeing this, Xu Xiangqiao hurriedly followed up with a backpack on her back.
From a distance, I just heard her say: "Xianghui, listen to me..."
Xu Jiaoxing frowned and was speechless. Xu Xianghui didn't want to work at all. It was funny that he had to blame her for the reason!
Thinking that Aman was alone at home, Xu Jiaoxing picked some bracken and dug some bamboo shoots on the mountain, and then walked down the mountain.
The whole road was filled with newly vacated rice fields, but few people were seen in the fields. Xu Jiaoxing arrived at the door of Sang Sanniang's house and was stopped by Sang Sanniang.
"Amanniang, why are you back at this time? Come on, the spring cattle hunting will start at noon. We have to hurry up and rush to the spring cattle farm."
Xu Jiaoxing suddenly realized that yesterday, Sang Sanniang had indeed asked her to hunt spring oxen. At that time, she had not thought about wanting to go. Now that Sang Sanniang had been waiting for her for so long, she was naturally embarrassed to refuse.
"I, I'll go back to the house and put a basket on my back."
Xu Jiaoxing's voice fell, and Sang Sanniang had already pulled her towards her yard: "My yard is wide, so just let me go. It'll be fine."
Xu Jiaoxing originally wanted to go back and see Aman, but Sang Sanniang was so anxious that she had no choice but to put down her backpack and follow her outside.
The two of them arrived at the broad village road and already saw a lot of people crowded on the dirt road. Everyone was running towards the spring cattle farm in the wheat field.
Different from the past, they all wore bright-colored clothes. Although they were not much new, there was not a single patch visible.
"Aman Niang, this is for you." Sang Sanniang handed over a cloth bag and whispered: "You can decorate more in a while. It only comes once a year. If you miss it, you will have no chance."
Xu Jiaoxing nodded, thinking that Aman had not eaten white rice for a long time, and she became a little more motivated.
At this time, Sang Sanniang looked at Xu Jiaoxing's body for a while, and finally said: "You are too weak, and I don't know if you can squeeze in, but don't be afraid, let's stand
Together, I'll help you squeeze in."
Xu Jiaoxing pursed her lips and smiled. Inexplicably, she felt a sense of nervousness, as if if she took one step slower, someone would snatch the rice away.
After bypassing a large rapeseed field, we arrived at Chunniu Farm.
This is Xu Jiaoxing's first time to Chunniuchang. To the east of Chunniuchang is a hillside with fruit trees and the like, and to the west are endless paddy fields.
The paddy fields in Chunniuchang are all high-quality paddy fields. They are plowed neatly and filled with water. After the spring cattle are harvested, the rice seeds will be sown.
