Rebirth of the pastoral landlady

Chapter 45
Chapter 44 The culprit

"Xi'er, what's wrong with your feet? Bitten by insects and ants? Let me see!" Hearing Jinxi's painful cry, Sun Yuxia hurriedly put down the basket in her hand, and walked towards Jinxi's side in three steps come running.

"I didn't get bitten, but I stepped on a trap, it's okay." Jin Xi said, bending down to untie the wire loop around her ankle.

"Don't touch that wire ring!" Suddenly there was a hurried shout from behind the pine tree, and a blue figure stood out from behind the thorn bushes beside the pine tree, walking towards Jin Xi.

Jin Xi froze in place, looking at the approaching person in surprise.

It was a tall and straight young man, who should be about the same age as Sun Erhu and Sun Yubao. He was dressed in sky blue clothes, and the style was very ordinary mountain people's attire.He walked over chopping thorns, a pair of bows and arrows slung around his waist, shaking endlessly as he walked.

"Little girl, stand still and don't move around. The more you move, the tighter the wire will be." The boy approached, glanced at Jin Xi's entangled left foot, and said to Jin Xi.

His tone was cold, but his voice was nice. When he spoke, his bushy eyebrows raised a little rebelliously. In his pair of long and narrow phoenix eyes, the pupils were slightly brown, and his eyes were colder than his voice.

A few strands of wet hair stuck to his forehead, making his face more serious and handsome.

Handsome men come out of the mountains, beautiful women come out of the water, this is true, Jin Xi thought to herself.

"You nailed this rabbit circle on the road?" Jin Xi raised her head and asked him.

He said "Yeah." Then he buried his waist and said, "I'll help you take it off!"

Sun Yuxia suddenly came over and pulled the young man away, protected Jinxi, stared at the young man and said, "Where did Deng Tuzi come from, can you touch the girl's ankle casually?"

The young man and Jin Xi were stunned at the same time, the young man was stunned because of Sun Yuxia's scolding, and Jin Xi was stunned because the thoughts of modern people in her mind hadn't fully integrated into the ancient taboo.

The young man frowned lightly, feeling a little ashamed, and explained: "The wire has barbs on it, if you pick it up a little improperly, a piece of flesh will be taken off!"

Sun Yuxia's eyes widened, she was startled, angry and troubled, and as soon as her aggressive temper came up, she pointed at the boy's nose and scolded: "Well, you are so unlucky, you came to our mountain Gada to harm people, you Say, what should I do now?"

When Sun Yuxia taught the boy a lesson, Jin Xi bent down and carefully looked at the wire loops wrapped around his ankles to find out the pattern of the winding, then stretched out his fingers, picked out one of them, and gently pulled it from both sides, only He heard the boy shout loudly: "Don't touch!"

With a sound of "Small!", the wire hoop bounced off, Jin Xi raised her left foot and pulled it out from the wire hoop, her ankle was hot, Jin Xi supported the pine tree and stood aside.

"Ah, Xi'er, why did you tear this thing apart? Ah, the trousers are all stained with blood, how about letting my aunt take a look?" Sun Yuxia temporarily left the boy behind and ran to Jinxi , Hush and ask warmly.

The young man didn't leave either, he stood on one side with his hands down, his gaze fell silently on Jin Xi.

"Auntie, don't worry, it's okay." Jin Xi comforted Sun Yuxia, but secretly rejoiced that her uncle loved to play with these things the most in the last life, the principle of which is similar.

"You said it's okay, look at your ankle, it's bleeding out!" Sun Yuxia exclaimed in surprise, Jin Xi looked down, sure enough, there was still a short barb caught in the flesh from the pull just now, and some blood came out It is also normal.

"Don't worry, auntie, I'll wrap it with a veil." Jin Xi said, looking for the veil on her body, hey, why didn't you see the veil?Could it be that I slept under the pillow last night and forgot to bring it this morning?

"Use mine!" The young man who had been silent all this time suddenly handed over a strip of sky blue cloth, Jin Xi looked up and saw that the sleeve of his left arm was missing a lot.

"Thank you." Jin Xi said, and took the cloth strip he handed over. Once the clothes were made, they felt better than the clothes on Jin Xi.

Listening to what Sun Yuxia said earlier, this young man should not be from Sunjiagou. The good clothes made by Shuiqing that day proved that his family background should not be so poor. How could he trap rabbits in the mountains?What is his origin?
While Jin Xi lowered her head to wrap her ankles, she was making gossiping guesses in her heart.

"This path is for people, you shouldn't be nailing these things here, look at my skin and flesh, it's not good! If you want to trap rabbits, you should go to other weedy roads, here are people Rabbits don't come here." Jin Xi did everything well, seeing Sun Yuxia's heartache, she pretended to reason with the young man, Sun Yuxia's aggressive temper, Jin Xi has learned in the past few days.

Therefore, Jin Xi rushed ahead of Sun Yuxia, taught the boy a lesson, and said the above words.

Although the boy's expression was cold and his eyes were a little rebellious, but when Jin Xi taught him, he chose to remain silent and only opened a pair of deep and clear phoenix eyes, looking at Jin Xi.

Jin Xi didn't know whether he listened to it, or didn't take it seriously, and was not interested in saying more, so she got up and was about to leave.

Jin Xi is not timid, nor is she a saint, but she doesn't like to fuss over small things.The young man didn't mean to harm her, and he didn't hurt her muscles, but he cut a little flesh, not to mention, his sleeve was broken in half, this attitude is barely acceptable.

"Boy, next time I catch you cheating people here, I'm not as easy-talking as Xi'er. In this matter, Xi'er doesn't care about you, so I'll let you go, don't have another time! "Sun Yuxia supported Jinxi to walk up the road, and turned her head to stare at the young boy who was stuck in place.

"Wait a moment!"

Before he walked away a few steps, the boy behind him suddenly yelled something, and then ran in front of Jin Xi like a gust of wind.

"Here!" He stretched out a fist towards Jin Xi, his hand was similar to Sun Erhu's, the fist was big.

"What are you doing?" Jin Xi was confused.

He spread out his palm, and a thick layer of calluses had grown on his fingertips, but in his opened palm lay two pieces of broken silver quietly.

"It's for you!" He said earnestly, "I've made you suffer today. I'll give you a tael of silver as an apology."

Jin Xi opened her eyes wide and looked at the one or two taels of silver in his palm. One tael of silver is a penny, that is, one thousand Wen, one bun for two Wen, one catty of pork for forty Wen, one tael is enough to buy a lot of things something.

This man is really generous.Who doesn't care about that one tael of silver?But rarity can't be taken according to the mood, Jin Xi only takes what should be taken.

Jin Xi was a little embarrassed, and said to him: "If you learn the lesson from today, I will not suffer this crime in vain. I have to get some medicine to apply to my ankle when I go back, and I have to delay some time. You really have to pay for it." I don't need a tael of silver, just give me a few dozen pennies!"
