Dark Fairy

Chapter 235
Qiu Chongxi just got off the boat, and when he stepped on the ground, he paused slightly without leaving any traces. The pedals on and off the boat are different, and the ups and downs are different. There will be a wonderful adaptation process for a sudden change on the boat for a long time. will stagger.Qiu Chongxi had fallen two years ago.

Now it takes half a month or even a month to get on the boat every time. Qiu Chongxi has long been used to the transition between walking on the boat and the ground, and he is also used to life on the boat on the river.

Just like living on the ground, the bowl of rice on the water is not delicious.Not only have to take into account the travel money and life money between the water thief and the navy, but also beware of the water danger on the river.At the same time, the limited ingredients and space on the ship also tested Qiu Chongxi's housekeeping skills as a cook.

seasick?This stuff is like practicing swimming, you just get used to it.

Especially in the past six months, Qiu Chongxi has been spending more and more time on the ship.It has been two months since I left home this time.

The world is not easy to mix!Qiu Chongxi has a deep understanding.It also made him suffer even more.

After getting off the boat, Qiu Chongxi took a horse-drawn carriage from the wharf all the way to the west, with a road of more than 60 miles in the middle, and there were still nearly [-] miles to walk after getting off the carriage.By the time I saw Zhuangzi in the mountains, the sky had already turned from morning to evening.The curling smoke also gave Zhuangzi a layer of vitality.

"Lao Qiu! Are you back?"

"Yeah! I'm back! Old Liu, come to the house for a drink tomorrow. This time I brought some bacon back. Let's have a drink!"

"Okay! I'll bring wine to find you tomorrow!"

As soon as he entered Zhuangzi, he saw the neighbors of the village household greeting him, and Qiu Chongxi also replied with a smile.The simplest kindness is to eat and drink together.It is also one of the reasons why Qiu Chongxi, an outsider, quickly settled in Zhuangzi in the past two years and was accepted safely.The other reason is that he often travels from place to place, and always brings back some good things, which are distributed among the family, and the farmers also remember his kindness.

"By the way, Lao Qiu, there seems to be a visitor at your house. They say they are coming from your hometown and they have brought a lot of rice oil. The old lady seems to be making arrangements."

"People from my hometown?" Qiu Chongxi was taken aback for a moment, then nodded immediately, and his feet moved a few steps faster, and the knuckles of the hand holding the heavy burden on his shoulder turned white inadvertently.

"Go back quickly."

"Ok!"

Seeing Qiu Chongxi leaving quickly, the farmer murmured in his heart: Look, this old Qiu is in a hurry.

At this time, Qiu Chongxi's mind was not only anxious, but also panicked.Because he doesn't have much to say about his old family, and even he brought his family to settle here to avoid disaster.Now that the "old family" comes to the door, it is not sure whether it is good or bad.

When they arrived at the door of the house, a carriage was parked outside.There were no coat of arms or company flags on the carriage.In Qiu Chongxi's eyes, these details can almost confirm the origin of this carriage.

Taking a deep breath, Qiu Chongxi pushed open the courtyard door, walked in with a smile on his face.

"Master, are you back?"

"Hmm! Are there any guests at home?"

"Yes, I don't know where it came from, it's not a serious family."

A middle-aged woman who was choosing vegetables in the yard greeted her first, with a smile on her face, but she was still cautious.Suppressing his voice, the arm holding Qiu Chongxi trembled slightly.It felt that the woman was not as calm as she looked on her face, but rather scared.

"Don't be afraid, it should be the business I mentioned to you last time. If you find it, you should get to know us. It will be fine."

"But the head of the family, didn't you say that you will no longer be involved in the cottage? I always feel very panicked."

"There is going to be a military disaster outside now! What can we do with this little money in our hands? The two children in the family must not starve to death? The cottage is already dead in name only, and now that money comes to the door, it is absolutely safe to take a little risk to get some protection! OK! Are those people in the house?"

The woman took a deep breath.She is not an ordinary village woman, she has experienced ups and downs with her man.Know that now is not the time to be timid.

"There are three people here, and they are all waiting in the main room. It is obvious that you have come home today, and you must have been figuring out our details for a while. You brought a lot of rice oil and a lot of bacon. Look You're also kind, but you don't know where you came from, and you'll have to figure it out on your own later."

"Yeah. Got it. You're in the yard. If you have anything to do, take the two children and go first."

"it is good."

The couple are also in harmony.Nodding his head, Qiu Chongxi adjusted his mood and entered the main room.In sight, three burly men were sitting in the room. When they saw him coming in, they all looked over with scrutiny in their eyes.

"Hello, you three! Chongxi in Xiaqiu, I wonder what the three of you are doing here?"

"Did you take Xue Wu's money? Tell me the amount, I think it's right." The leader of the three looked at Qiu Chongxi with a smile, and instead of answering Qiu Chongxi's words, he asked another question.

Xue Wu?When Qiu Chongxi heard this, he secretly said that it was true.

"Xue Wu gave me 15 yuan in silver, and said that there is a piece of gold in the back that I can take. I wonder if the three of you sent the rest of the money?"

"It's not one piece, it's two pieces." The leader said as he took out two golden pieces from his pocket, rubbed them between his fingers, put them on the table, and pushed them to Qiu Chongxi's hand.

"Hey, three, it's best to pay the agreed price for this kind of thing."

"Heh, you're not happy with the extra money?"

"Sir, more money means more risks, and higher risks mean it's harder to survive. So I'd rather take some money for running errands for peace of mind."

"Yes, it is the safest thing to earn money with peace of mind. But this person is alive, how can everything be satisfactory? The errands this time are not enough, and you need to help as a support. After the matter is completed, there will be another Add two pieces of gold. As for the risk, it depends on your cooperation."

Qiu Chongxi's heart tightened and he secretly sighed that this business was really not that easy to do.

"My lord, can I not do it?"

"Qiu Chongxi, what's the first day you come out to hang out? If you don't want to do it, you won't do it? You should think clearly."

Qiu Chongxi sighed, and said, "My lord, you are probably also in the blood-licking business, and you have to abide by the rules, right? I won't break up with the lords, but let my wife and children take the money away first." , is this okay?"

"Of course there is no problem. But in this world, orphans and widowed mothers, are you sure that they will have a good place to go? So you'd better not be too busy arranging any funeral affairs for yourself, and finish this errand, maybe you will have other things later. Got an idea."

Qiu Chongxi was a little confused by what the other party said.But I also felt that the other party didn't seem to be that kind of vicious person.

"I don't know what the name of this master is?"

"Just call me Knife. Collect the money, and you can arrange the things that need to be arranged tonight. We also live here, and you can leave with us early tomorrow morning."

"In such a hurry?"

"It's such a long journey, so we should leave early and arrive early. And I have to stay on the road to tell you a lot of things."
