Qixuan Episode (Forty-Eight)

The genius remembers the address of this site in a second: (Apex Chinese), the fastest update! No advertisements! It snowed heavily for two days and two nights. When I opened the door, it was a vast expanse of whiteness outside.

Qixuan practiced marksmanship in the yard for more than half an hour, and was sweating all over after the practice.

After taking a shower, Qixuan changed his clothes, looked at Gu Jiu who was sitting leisurely before the meal and eating steamed buns: "Why don't you practice kung fu?" day. On the other hand, Gu Jiu has never practiced a day of kung fu since he came here.

Gu Jiu didn't even look at Qixuan, took a boiled egg and cracked it open, while peeling it, he asked, "How do you know I'm not practicing? Do you have to see it to be called practicing."

Qi Xuan was immediately stopped by the question.

Aunt Dou brought up the cooked black rice porridge with mushrooms, and seeing that Qixuan was standing still, she said, "Why don't you eat it? Isn't it delicious?"

Qi Xuan shook his head and said: "It's delicious." It can't be compared with the cook of the palace, but it is more than ten times better than his cooking skills.

Not long after eating, Ai Hua came. Since Gu Jiu asked him to get up and stand up every day at dawn, this child has never had a late sleep. But in order to go to the county seat, he never stayed in bed.

Qi Xuan said to Ai Hua: "You write down the names of hundreds of families from beginning to end for me silently, and I will check after writing." The knowledge he has learned before is not afraid that he will forget what he has learned before.

"good."

After finishing writing, seeing that Qixuan was still painting there, he didn't bother, but went to the main room to find Gu Jiu: "Grandpa Jiu, why did you teach me marksmanship?"

Gu Jiu was bored, and when he heard this, he laughed and said, "If you want to learn, I'll teach you a stick method first."

There are a total of eighteen stick techniques taught, and Ai Hua learned nine moves in one morning. This made Gu Jiu a little surprised, he didn't expect this kid to have some talent in martial arts. However, he didn't praise, just nodded and said, "Take a break first."

Putting down the wooden stick, Ai Hua couldn't help touching his stomach. After studying for such a short time, I am hungry.

Gu Jiu smiled and said, "There are steamed buns and porridge in the pot in the kitchen, you can get them by yourself?" The exercise consumes a lot and makes you hungry, so Aunt Dou will leave some food for Qi Xuan every day.

Ai Hua ate and drank a bowl of black rice porridge before returning to the studio.

At this time, Qixuan was reading the big characters written by Ai Hua in front of the charcoal fire. Seeing him coming, start class.

After class, Aunt Dou has already prepared the meals. Seeing that Ai Hua was going home, Aunt Dou said: "The master, let Ai Hua eat at our house!"

Qi Xuan shook his head and said, "Let him go home to eat." Extra meals are fine, but three meals must be eaten at home.

After the child left, Aunt Dou scolded: "You are really, the family does not lack his meal."

Qixuan is not a stingy person, let alone a meal or two, even if his wife eats at his place, it's fine. However, he has his own considerations: "It's easy to go from frugal to extravagant, and it's difficult to go from extravagant to frugal. Our family's food is better than his family's. What should I do if I don't go home to eat after I get used to eating at my house?"

Gu Jiu glanced at Qi Xuan, and a smile appeared on his face. Knowing how to think about others really changes a lot.

After dinner, Qixuan said to Gu Jiu, "I want to go for a walk on the mountain." He wanted to take a photoshoot. I always stay at home, my mind is dull and I can't draw anything.

Gu Jiu was naturally fine.

After exercising for such a long time, it is enough for Qixuan to put on a cotton jacket and cotton trousers even if it is very cold after heavy snowfall. It's just that the snow was relatively deep, so he specially wore the sheepskin high boots that Aunt Dou made for him. In this way, you are not afraid of frostbite feet.

It was so cold that the villagers stayed at home. Along the way, neither of them saw anyone.

Walking out of the village, Gu Long said, "What's there to see in a white area?"

Qixuan said: "Don't you think the current scenery has a different kind of beauty compared with the past?" The dense jungle in the past was covered in green, but now it is covered in silver, each with its own beauty.

The words were not speculative, and Gu Jiu didn't bother to answer.

The two turned around and were about to go back when they saw someone coming down from the mountain.

Seeing it was Niti, Qixuan said, "Why are you still going up the mountain when it's snowing so much?"

Nitti smiled and said, "Anyway, I was idle, so I went to the mountains. I was lucky, and I caught a snow rabbit." It's just that rabbits in winter are very thin, not as fat as in autumn.

I also know that in such a cold weather, people stay at home and don't want to go out. If this animal wasn't so hungry, it wouldn't come out to look for food in heavy snow.

Qi Xuan frowned and said, "It's snowing now, and the air is very cold. When you go back, make a bowl of ginger soup!"

Niti patted his chest and said, "It's okay, I'm healthy!" In such a cold day, Niti took a cold shower!

Qi Xuan shook his head and said, "Don't be afraid of being young now, you will suffer when you get old. If it is not necessary, don't go up the mountain when it snows heavily."

Niti couldn't help looking at Gu Jiu. Although Gu Jiu looked ordinary, he knew that he was a master.

Unfortunately, Gu Jiu gave him the back of his head.

Niti took off the snow rabbit tied around his waist, handed it to Qixuan and said, "I'm too lazy to clean it up, I'll eat it for you."

Qi Xuan shook his head and said with a smile, "No need, I don't lack food at home."

Nitti looked a little sad, Qixuan was really unfamiliar with him.

On the way back, Gu Jiu said: "It's been a long time since I ate fresh meat, why don't we go to the mountain tomorrow to have a look?"

"No." The smoked meat at home is fine to eat until spring, so he doesn't want to go to the mountains to blow a breeze in such a cold weather just for one bite.

The next morning, Gu Jiu went hunting on the mountain. Fortunately, a sheep was hunted.

Throwing the sheep in the yard, Gu Jiu said with a smile: "We will eat mutton tonight."

Neither Qixuan nor Gu Jiu knew how to skin sheep, so they finally invited Nigu to help.

Brushing mutton requires a lot of ingredients, and Aunt Dou can't do it alone. Ai Hua saw him, and ran home to ask his mother to come and help.

Mutton is the main ingredient. In addition, Aunt Dou also prepared yams, sweet potatoes, cabbage, white radishes, bean sprouts, mushrooms, fungus, and winter melon. Among them, mutton, potato and white radish are enough.

Niko and Yijia felt that it was extravagant. Just seeing Qixuan and Aunt Dou's natural appearance, they didn't say much.

The soup base is made from mutton bones, and Gu Jiu also threw a few herbs into it, so the taste is indescribably delicious.

Because it is so delicious, a pot of more than ten catties of mutton can be eaten clean. Except for Gu Jiu, everyone else was exhausted.

When Nigu's family of five went back, they couldn't help touching their stomachs.

When we got home, Nigu said, "Yijia, next time we hunt sheep, we will eat like this."

Yijia rolled her eyes at him, and said, "Tell this to Auntie, not to me." All the food at home was kept in the storage room, and her mother-in-law kept the key to the storage room.

Hearing this, Nico fell silent. It's impossible to ask his mother to eat so many good ingredients at once, without asking.

The weather in Aga Village does not get warmer until mid-March. At this time, preparations for spring plowing began.

Qixuan stayed in the studio for many days and didn't have time to teach Ai Hua. The child's homework is also checked by Gu Jiu.

Five days later, Qi Xuan and Gu Jiu said: "I want to go to the county in two days."

"Done?" Seeing Qi Xuan nodding, Gu Jiu proposed to watch it.

Qixuan has no confidence in the book he is writing, and has no choice but to be hit too much by Yuxi. However, his paintings have sold for high prices, so he is still very confident.

This time Qixuan painted a landscape painting. Gu Jiu didn't do much research on this. Seeing the high mountains and trees above, he nodded and said, "It's very beautiful."

Qixuan said: "Then shall we go out of the mountain to the county seat in the future?" Without Gu Jiu's consent, he dared not go out of the mountain alone.

Gu Jiu nodded and said: "Yes." This painting is not bad, but I don't know how much it can sell for.

Last year, Qi Xuan told Ai Hua that he would take him to the county town in spring, so naturally he would not break his word.

Nigu didn't object, but he didn't agree with Qixuan saying that four people went down the mountain: "Why don't you go until the end of the month! At that time, the villagers will go out to go to the market." There are so many people, even if they encounter wild animals, they are not afraid.

Qi Xuan said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about this, even if it's just the three of us, nothing will happen."

It's no wonder Nigu felt relieved, but he couldn't explain Qixuan, and finally went home with a sad face.

In fact, he really didn't want to go, but he was worried that Qi Xuan and Gu Jiu would go alone. Even though he felt it was dangerous, he still decided to take Ai Hua along.

If you want to go out, you must report to the elders at home. After the village chief found out, he told him to buy corn seeds and other things.

Aunt Dou gave them corn seeds, but the village chief wanted the whole village to grow this high-yield food.

Nigu said with a bitter face: "Father, there are only three of us, and we still have Ai Hua with us. How can we bring so many things?"

The village chief didn't explain too much, and said, "You can take it with you, so there are so many words."

When leaving, the village head's wife gave Nigu the money for shopping: "Save some money." The money included copper coins and silver coins.

Nico said, "Understood."

Seeing that Qixuan was carrying half a basket, Nigu hurried forward and said, "Sir, let me come!" Since Ai Hua called Qixuan Mr., Nigu also changed his address.

Qi Xuan shook his head and said, "No, I can afford it."

When they reached the entrance of the village, the four of them saw Nitti. Nigu hurriedly explained: "I called Nitti. It's just the three of us, so I'm really worried." He originally called Nitti tentatively, but unexpectedly he agreed.

Nitti patted the basket on the back, and said to Qixuan, "This is the tiger skin and ointment of the tiger hunted last year. I want to sell it in the county town." Selling the whole tiger is unrealistic, so the tiger meat is It is for everyone to eat, and the tiger skin and tiger ointment are sold. But these two are also the most valuable.

Qixuan nodded and said, "Let's go!" Qixuan would not object to going with them, let alone Niti who liked him. It's just that they are on the same road, and they don't want him to do anything.
