A leisurely life with Lingquan

Chapter 26 Going to the Market
"That's right, the food at home is all given by my second uncle, but in order not to rely on helping others all the time, I want to try my luck on the mountain and catch a few live animals to the town to exchange for some money and food." Li Xi There is nothing to hide about this, it was meant to be like this.

Zhao Shan nodded when he heard the words, and he also agreed: "That's a good statement. No matter how difficult the life is, you can live on. If you need anything, you can come to your uncle and aunt. The big guys will take care of you. Oh, it's just right. Brother Dahai will drive the car tomorrow. When you come to the town, you come early and take a ride." His family has a bullock cart, and his son Dahai will drive it to the town to help pull goods when he has time, and the villagers will also hitch a ride when they want to go to the town to go to the market. , of course, will also pay some money.

Li Xi was overjoyed when she heard the words. She was still worried about how to get to the town. Could it be because of her and Zhao Mu? Her eyes were smeared. Haomao rushed to find someone for help, this time Zhao Shan was sleepy and gave him a pillow.

Quickly nodded and said happily: "Thank you, Uncle Zhao Shan, I was just thinking about it, that's okay, I will definitely get up early tomorrow."

After a few words, the door of Kung Fu's house also arrived, and Zhao Shan said a few more words with the two of them before leaving. Li Xi happily walked into the house with the rabbit in his arms, and Zhao Mu followed him step by step. .

It's getting late now, and when Li Xi came back, he asked Zhao Mu to tie up all the prey with straw ropes, especially those rabbits, who had a sharp mouth and teeth, so they didn't run away, so they took advantage of the darkness to eat dinner. It was done, and some hot water was boiled at the end. When the two of them came back from the mountain, they were all dirty and needed to be scrubbed.

Li Xi decided to go to town tomorrow to buy some new clothes, not to mention the coat, the underwear inside must be changed. She came here and was indirectly 'sold' by Qian Shi, except for the clothes on her body, which were basically a thread They didn't even bring them out, Zhao Mu is better than her, and there are a few old clothes found in this old house, at least they can be changed.

"Tomorrow, you will watch the door carefully at home. I'm just going to visit the door. How about it?" After thinking about it, he felt that it was a bit inappropriate to take Zhao Mu with him. Before going to bed, Li Xi wanted to have a good talk with him.

"No." Zhao Mu's voice was very sharp, and this made Li Xi feel troubled. He frowned and said, "There must be a lot of people in the town. What if you get lost?"

No matter what Li Xi said, Zhao Mucai held Li Xi's wrist outside the quilt with a big hand on one side of his body. After washing a quilt, they made a bed together again tonight like the first time. Li Xi leaned in uncomfortably and leaned in as soon as he moved his body, and his voice softened: "I will be back soon."

"I'm with...Xi'er, don't want it." Zhao Mu's words were intermittent, but he could still hear his firmness. He made up his mind to go out with her. She scratched her head with a headache, and finally she nodded in resignation: "Then Okay, but once you go out, follow me well, or if you lose it, I won't bring you back."

"Enen." In the darkness, it seemed that he could hear Li Xi's compromise. Zhao Mu nodded his head happily, as if he was so happy. Li Xi looked helpless, he was really a difficult guy. .

The next morning Li Xi woke up early, because she was thinking about going to town, so she got up early, and when she moved, Zhao Mu immediately got up, as if she was afraid that she would run away by herself, which made her black line a handful.

After waking up, I boil water, wash up, and then make breakfast. Afterwards, I start sorting out yesterday’s spoils. It’s the vernal equinox. I don’t know if spring has returned to the earth. The group of animals has also started to move around. Yesterday’s harvest was not bad. , There are two pheasants, and a nest of rabbits. There are four adult rabbits, and some of them have not grown well. Li Xi doesn't plan to sell these few. It's better to raise them and wait until they grow up. And now the rabbits are being fed outside, so there is no need to grow vegetables at home, and it doesn't take much effort to raise some rabbit grass every day.

"Okay, let's go." When it was done, the day after tomorrow began to light up. Li Xi took fifty of the more than 100 copper plates and put them in his pocket, and put the rest in the small jar, but he found a It is always right to hide in a particularly hidden place, and it is always right to do things with one hand.

After pulling Zhao Mu out of the house, he went straight to the entrance of the village. He told Uncle Zhao Shan yesterday that he was at the entrance of the village. Not long after he arrived, he saw a bullock cart parked there. The villagers who were going to the market walked forward without stopping, and smiled at the man sitting in front: "Brother Da Da, I'm sorry to trouble you today."

Li Xi and Zhao Mu attracted people's attention as soon as they came over. The most common topic in the village these days is not the two of them. Now that I see people, I also find that Li Xi is not as decadent as they thought, but rather pretty. Joy, even with bandages on his face, it can be seen that his complexion is not bad, and Zhao Mu behind him has been taken care of cleanly, unlike his usual messy and disheveled appearance, he immediately admired Li Xi in his heart , This kid has a good heart.

"It's okay, my dad already said it." Looking for Dahai and his dad Zhao Shan, who have the same temperament, smiled and waved their hands and said, "Hurry up and get in the car and do it well. Today is a day for going to the market, and there will be people coming later Woolen cloth."

"Hey, okay." Li Xi smiled politely, and climbed onto the bullock cart, while Zhao Mu kicked up neatly with one leg, which made her look sideways. This is the advantage of being tall and long.

"Sit, you sit." As soon as Zhao Mu came up, he pulled Li Xi to sit on the straw on the cart.

Someone on the side looked at it and laughed: "I didn't expect that Zhao Mu of your family is still a loving person."

"He's just stupid." Li Xi carefully identified the people in the car, and found that there were a few people from the surrounding villages. No one doubted anything, but thought it seemed that after this incident, Li Xi became more generous and sensible, and didn't shrink behind Qian like a quail before.

After getting in the car, Zhao Mu sat next to Li Xi, holding a pheasant and a rabbit tightly in his hands. Someone asked a few questions, but Li Xi dismissed them by chance, and then everyone started talking about other things, such as this What are you going to the market for, and what am I going to do? She didn't intervene in these matters, and time passed, and many people came over one after another. When the car was almost full, Zhao Dahai started Swinging the whip, he drove the ox cart to the town a few miles away on the bumpy country road.

Li Xi was a little uncomfortable with the bumping of the ox cart, and felt nauseated a few times. Zhao Mu looked at her nervously when he noticed, and then carefully held her in his arms, patted her on the back clumsily with his big hands, I don't know who I learned this from.

Li Xi didn't care about him because he was not feeling well, but the two of them have changed a little bit in the eyes of others. I feel that the two of them get along well with each other. It seems that the village chief has a good vision. Well, the second girl of the Li family is pretty good, but it's a pity that there are such fathers and stepmothers.
