The girls quickly packed up and left. After leaving, a few came back with quilts in their arms. They embarrassedly said that they were all newly made quilts by themselves, and helped them make their beds before leaving.
"Wait a minute, this is for you."
Ruan Xianbei stopped them and gave them some of the snacks and gadgets Cui Lin brought, including a few simple hair accessories.
"Ah, these are so beautiful!" The girls' eyes instantly lit up, showing their love. What girl doesn't like beautiful things?
"Are these for us? Is it really okay?" Ahua's sister Axiang asked.
"What should I do if my rough hands and feet damage it?"
Things that look ordinary in the eyes of Ruan Xianbei and others are extremely precious in their eyes.
Cheng Suisui chuckled: "Take it, these are thank you gifts, sisters, you're welcome."
The girls hesitated for a long time and couldn't make a decision. Finally, Ruan Xianbei pretended to be angry and said that each of them should choose one or there would be no chance. Then they made their choice and went home happily.
The villagers also brought them some vegetables, rice, meat and other ingredients, saying that the village chief gave them to them.
Finally, he solemnly and kindly told them not to go out after sunset.
The people who work in the village only eat two meals a day, and there is no lunch meal. Ruan Xianbei and the others can't go hungry, and they have all the necessities in the kitchen. I think when this family left, they didn't take away all the things they could buy for convenience.
After the girls left, they tidied up the house themselves. There was only one bed in the back room, so she and Cheng Suisui had no problem sleeping together.
"Let's eat noodles for lunch, right? Suisui, why don't you come and help me, Suisui?"
Cheng Suisui sat outside and groaned. He didn't sleep well last night, and now his head was empty and in a daze.
Ruan Xianbei looked at her and was speechless, Cheng Suisui, Cheng Suisui...the appetite is bolder than a rice bucket and smaller than the eye of a needle!
Not counting on Cheng Suisui, Ruan Xianbei rolled up her sleeves and prepared to cook by herself. She squatted down and counted the tableware and ingredients to be used.
It’s easier to cook some green pepper and egg noodles, and Tongchun will eat green vegetable noodles.
When she squatted down, someone came in behind her. She thought Suisui was getting up. Ruan Xianbei didn't even look back. He put the green peppers, eggs and vegetables in his hand into a small basket and handed it over and said, "Sui Sui, help me wash this." Already."
"Okay, what else do you want to do?"
A familiar voice sounded behind her. She turned around and it was Shen Xuan.
Shen Xuan took the basket from her hand and looked down at her.
She was not polite to him and said: "To make green pepper and egg noodles, you need to fetch water and make a fire. Can you make a fire?"
"meeting."
"Then I'll borrow some dry firewood."
When Ruan Xianbei and Shen Xuan walked out of the kitchen at the same time, Cheng Suisui didn't dare to move her eyes. She might as well pretend to be asleep——
She was about to lie down and sleep as soon as her mind turned. Ruan Xianbei picked her up and said viciously in her ear: "Don't pretend to be dead, or I'll poison your food."
Cheng Suisui had an expression on his face as if you two were in love and had sex, and he got up reluctantly.
They found a house that was cooking and knocked on the door. The person who opened the door was a young girl. After they explained their intention, she quickly came out with some dry firewood and gave it to them. She also said that if there was not enough, they could come back again.
"Thank you very much. We will chop the wood and return it to you later."
"It doesn't matter."
The girl was about to close the door when Ruan Xianbei asked, "I wonder what your name is?"
Before the girl could answer, the person inside shouted: "Apple, Apple, what are you doing here?"
"Aniang, here we come." She smiled at Ruan Xianbei and the others: "My name is Apple."
As soon as the two of them walked to the door of their yard holding Chai, a young man rushed over aggressively. Cheng Suisui held Chai in both hands without looking at the road. Ruan Xianbei stepped aside and waved his left hand, and the young man was instantly Push it out two or three meters.
"It's you." Ruan Xianbei
Turning your head, isn't this the guy who stopped them last night? What's his name? She remembers Uncle Zhang saying, his name seems to be Ganzi, right?
Ganzi was shocked that the woman could push him several meters away with just a wave of her hand, but she still said angrily: "What are you going to my house for? What do you want to do to my house!"
Was it his home just now? How come such a cute little sister has such a brother? What bad luck.
"It's funny." Ruan Xianbei sneered, "Are you blind at such a young age?"
After saying that, he ignored him and entered the yard with Cheng Suisui.
This man is even more inexplicable than Mu Ruojiao. Where does his hostility towards them come from?
The young man who was chasing him stopped him and said, "Brother Ganzi, they just went to your house to borrow some firewood. Your house is the closest."
Ganzi frowned, shook off the boy's hand, and walked quickly home.
Cheng Suisui complained: "Is this man sick?"
"Yeah, persecution paranoia." Ruan Xianbei agreed.
"Ah, is it true? This is the first time I've heard of it. What kind of disease is this?"
"It's just possible that he thinks there are always unscrupulous people who want to harm me." Ruan Xianbei said with a cold expression.
"Pfft - hahahaha!" Cheng Suisui laughed and said, "Don't say you are a troublesome person outside, and don't say that word."
"I know, I know, it's long-winded."
In the kitchen, Shen Xuan has already cut the green peppers, beaten the eggs, washed the vegetables and put them aside.
The sun shines in from outside, and you can even see dust particles floating in the air. I always feel that the eldest brother with a dusty temperament is out of place in the kitchen.
Cheng Suisui thought about it and said it.
"What's so out of place? Does he just eat and watch us work?" Ruan Xianbei rolled his eyes at Cheng Suisui, put the firewood in the corner, and handed some to Shen Xuan.
Shen Xuan is really good at making fire, and he succeeded once or twice.
"Sui Sui, call Tong Chun over for dinner."
Cooking noodles is a quick process. Add water and bring to a boil over high heat. Boil the noodles until they are almost cooked. Remove the noodles and rinse them with cold water and set aside.
Then pour away the water, heat the pan, add oil, beat the eggs and take them out, sauté the onions, garlic and green peppers, then add the seasonings and eggs.
Finally, divide the fried green peppers, eggs and boiled vegetables into each portion of the noodles, and it's ready.
Ruan Xianbei made a bowl of green pepper and green vegetable noodles for Tong Chun, but he disliked it.
"I don't like green peppers." Tongchun frowned and picked out all the green peppers. He was so disgusted that he stopped talking about it.
"Oh, you can do it next time." Ruan Xianbei ignored him and listened to whoever cooks. If you don't like it, just cook it yourself.
"The young monk only knows how to make fast food."
"I can eat whatever I have, I'm not picky about food, right?"
Cheng Suisui, who was devouring his food, was called upon again. She nodded her head, saying what Ruan Xianbei said was right.
"Shen Xuan doesn't like green peppers either." Tong Chun glanced at Shen Xuan. Shen Xuan slowly ate the food in the bowl, not picky at all.
Shen Xuan curled her lips and said, "Little master, please cherish the fruits of your labor."
Tongchun:......
Ruan Xianbei glanced at the next door before. Xu Pei and the others should have invited an aunt to cook for the eldest lady. After all, the two of them and the four guards couldn't cook, and the food they cooked could not enter the eldest lady's mouth, let alone that She had the nerve to come over and eat and drink with her.
But they have money, so problems that can be solved with money are not problems.
Look, those who have no money can only eat vegetable noodles.
At this time, Xu Pei and Mu Ruojiao had also finished eating. Xu Pei and Mu Ruojiao said, "Ruojiao, pack your things later and move in next door."
"I'm not going! I want to live with you!" Mu Ruojiao immediately refused.
"What are you talking about? Girls are not ashamed at all." Xu Pei's face darkened. In his eyes, Mu Ruojiao was a spoiled and willful young lady.
But she is the daughter of her adoptive father, he doesn't
Not only could he not say anything, but he also coaxed her. Although his adoptive father expressed his intention to promise her to him, he never asked him if he wanted to marry her?
Xu Pei stopped laughing, looked at her and said, "I told you to move here later. There are all men here, so it's not convenient for you as a girl. If you still don't want to, I'll find someone to take you back." .”
Mu Ruojiao flattened her mouth and saw that he seemed really angry, so she agreed.
After finishing the meal, the two men cleared away the dishes, washed them and put them away.
Xu Pei came over with Mu Ruojiao.
Xu Pei looked at Ruan Xianbei and said, "We are all men over there. I think it would be better if Ruojiao lives with you."
He seemed to be sure that they would not refuse, and without asking them if they were willing, he directly stated the result.
It also seems from the current situation that we are all allies and of course we must help each other.
"Okay, but there's only one bed inside." Ruan Xianbei pointed to the inner room, "You need to bring in an extra bed."
In this way, Tongchun Shenxuan, Xu Pei, a guard, and three other guards lived in the rooms in the yard next door.
The atmosphere in the room became much duller after Mu Ruojiao arrived. Ruan Xianbei was going to take a nap after dinner. His whole body ached from sleeping in the carriage last night.
"I'm going to take a nap," she said to Cheng Suisui.
"Are you going to bed now? When is this?" Mu Ruojiao was a little dissatisfied. She slept with her, so why would she just sit here like a fool?
"I didn't sleep well last night, Miss Mu, feel free." She turned over and turned her back to the outside, looking like she was really going to sleep.
"Are you going to sleep in there or should I sleep in there?" Cheng Suisui washed his face and took off his shoes before climbing up, "I'll sleep for a while, too."
"You two - don't you want to sleep tonight?"
Cheng Suisui yawned and said, "This village is so incomprehensible. Of course I have to wait until dark before going out. If I don't sleep at night now, I won't be able to sleep again."
night?
Mu Ruojiao turned a little pale when she thought about the rumors from the villagers that they could not go out after dark.
"Isn't she the eldest lady of Lingxiao Villa? She's too weak." Cheng Suisui muttered, "Why are you only at the first level of the Earthly Mystery?"
"It means that my father loves me, just like you. I don't need to practice."
"Thank you, senior brother, for urging me. Otherwise, I would be looked down upon by people like me."
Mu Ruojiao's face turned red and white after listening to their unabashed whispers. She snorted and went out to find Xu Pei.
Twenty taels of silver was a bit too small, but in modern times it was still around eight thousand to ten thousand yuan.
At present, an ordinary soldier in the Yu Dynasty can only earn one tael of silver per month at most, and a centurion can earn three taels of silver per month.
Maybe he will accept it.
In addition, Qin Hu is also planning to draw a big pie for Li Xiaokun. After all, Qin Hu used to have money.
Now it depends on whether he and Qin An can survive the night.
"Little Marquis, I may not be able to survive. I'm so hungry, my hands and feet are frozen with cold." Qin An said in a daze.
"Xiao Anzi, Xiao Anzi, hold on, hold on, you can't stay still, get up and run, that's the only way you can survive."
In fact, Qin Hu himself is in trouble. Although he was a special soldier in his previous life, this body is not what he used to be. All he has now is a perseverance.
"Wait!"
Qin Hu's eyes were like cold stars, and he suddenly shouted in a low voice. A reflection and a rustling sound that appeared just ten meters away from the camp aroused his alertness.
With the professional sense of smell of a special scout, he felt that it was the enemy.
But should we notify Li Xiaokun?
Qin Hu hesitated a little. What if he saw it wrong? You know, his current physical condition is completely different from before.
If a false alarm causes night terrors or camp roars, and someone gets a handle on it, they will be killed without mercy.
"Xiao Anzi, hand me the bow and arrow."
Qin Hu crawled under the shaft of the car and whispered:
.
But Qin An's next words scared him so much that he almost jumped up.
"Bow and arrow, what are bow and arrow?"
What, there are no bows and arrows in this era?
Qin Hu looked around and found a wooden stick with a sharpened top placed under the wheel. It was two meters long. It was thick at the handle and became thinner as it went up.
The more I look at it, the more it looks like a weapon.
Wooden gun, this is the iconic building of the cannon fodder.
"Come closer, come closer..." After a few breaths, Qin Hu was sure that he was right.
The other party may be the enemy's scouts, called scouts in this era. They are trying to enter the camp and conduct reconnaissance.
Of course, if conditions permit, you can also poison, set fire to, or perform a beheading operation.
"one two three……"
He and Qin An lay motionless on the ground until then, he suddenly jumped up and threw the wooden spear as a javelin.
"puff!"
It was impossible for the scout to wear armor because he had difficulty moving, so the shot pierced his chest directly.
Following Qin Hu, he picked up the wooden gun belonging to Qin An, jumped out of the carriage, and chased in the opposite direction desperately.
For the reliability of intelligence, the scouts are required to monitor each other and are not allowed to act alone, so there are at least two.
After a few moments, Qin Hu threw another black shadow to the ground.
Then he strangled his neck with a wooden gun. There was a crisp sound and the man's head hung down.
"Hoo, hoo!" Qin Hu was sweating profusely and almost collapsed. He lay on the ground gasping for air. His body was really too weak.
Just to break the enemy's neck, before he could just use his hands, but just now he had to rely on the power of a wooden gun.
"Qin An, come here and help me search you."
Qin Hu is familiar with the rules of the battlefield. He must collect all the trophies from these two guys as quickly as possible.
"Two daggers, two horizontal knives, a level, seven or eight taels of broken silver, two grain bags, flags, kettles, two sets of cotton-padded clothes, two pot helmets, bacon..."
"Qin An, brother, hurry up, hurry up, eat something quickly, you are saved..."
Qin Hu tremblingly grabbed a handful of fried beans from the grain bag and stuffed it into Qin An's mouth, then filled him with water and put on the captured cotton-padded clothes.
.
Before dawn, Qin Hu cut off the scout's head before the sentry on duty arrived, carried it into Shi Chang's camp, and reported what happened yesterday.
This was done to prevent others from taking credit, and he knew what kind of environment he was in now.
"Thirty taels of silver for one head, you are rich."
The chief's name was Gundam. He was a tall, muscular man with a beard.
At first, he didn't believe it until he saw the trophies captured by Qin Hu and the two corpses.
At this moment, his eyes were full of envy, jealousy and hatred.
"It's not me who gets rich, it's everyone who gets rich. This is the result of the ten of us."
