"One gold?"
Cui Buqun didn't expect it to be so cheap to escape, and the seller obviously misunderstood.
"Sir, I really don't want much. It's very difficult to catch the Escape. When I took it, it was only one gold. The main reason is that it's dirty. I just want to get my money back."
The shopkeeper is an elderly man with a wealthy appearance and a good face. He wears a Zen bead on his wrist. Other than that, he has no extra gold ornaments and jade pendants.
"Okay, one gold is one gold, but I'll give you two gold, and you have to find a piece of black cloth to cover me up." Cui Buqun said with a wink.
"Okay, okay, I understand." Anyone with some status in Fengyan would feel ashamed to buy such a beast.
Cui Buqun didn't want to explain. After paying the gold coins, he carried the iron cage home.
After returning home, as soon as Cui Buqun put the iron cage in the yard, he saw choking smoke pouring out of the woodshed that had not been used for a long time.
"Er!"
He ran over in a panic and saw Na'e, who was covered in black and gray, lighting a fire in the smoke. He walked over and lifted her out.
"Big brother, are you back?" The little guy didn't make any fuss and just let him sit beside the stone table.
"What are you doing?" As soon as he put it down, Cui Buqun looked at her with a warm and angry look.
"Let's cook!"
At this time, Cui Buqun saw that Na'e's sleeves were rolled up.
"How can you cook without a stove? What if you fall into the pot!"
After yelling at Cui Buqun, he regretted it. Looking at the little girl's face covered with cigarette ashes and her messy hair, she suddenly looked like a deflated rubber ball. "Forget it, wash your hands and eat quickly. I bought steamed buns and sweet porridge."
"Brother, don't you hate E'er anymore?" She looked at Cui Buqun with her big, watery eyes, as if he would immediately shed tears in her eyes if he said she hated him.
"It's not annoying! Go and wash it quickly. It won't taste good when it's cold." As he said that, he kicked the cage covered with black cloth under the table.
After a while, she changed her clothes and ran out of the room, her hair hanging loose, without even a headdress.
"What happened to the hair?"
"E'er hasn't learned to hold up his hair yet. The hair that Auntie combed for E'er just fell apart when she changed clothes." She also had a small pink hair comb spread out in her hand.
"Come here, let me try."
After taking the headgear, Cui Buqun studied it for a while and then got started. He tossed it back and forth for a long time but could not fix it properly.
"E'er, why don't you tie it up with a streamer? It'll look just as good, okay?" If we delay any longer, we'll save lunch.
"Okay, listen to big brother."
"Then you wait." Cui Buqun quickly got up and went to the room to find his own hair tie. He chose a cyan hazy moon and carefully tied Na'e's hair behind his head after coming out.
"Okay, hurry up and eat. I'll give you something after dinner."
Hearing that there was a gift for him, Na'e was very happy. He grabbed the bun and stuffed it into his mouth: "Yeah, big brother will eat it too."
After a cup of tea, Cui Buqun lifted the iron cage out from under the stone table, lifted the black cloth, and the spirit beast opened its eyes again.
"Brother, what is this?" The little girl didn't show any fear at all.
"It's called Curly Mane. It's a rare spiritual beast, but it's a little dirty. I'll boil some hot water in a while. How about you give it a bath?"
"Hmm, then it will be mine from now on?"
"Not entirely. If you don't treat it well, it will run away." Because so far he has never heard of anyone successfully contracting an escape spirit beast. This kind of spirit beast is timid, suspicious and restless. If you want to let it go, It is obedient and can only be tempted by delicious food.
"Don't worry, little one, I will definitely treat you well." After she said that, she ran back to the room. Just when Cui Buqun was wondering, she saw her coming over pushing a large wooden box with a hum.
"Brother, let him sleep in here from now on. There is a sachet that grandma put in it. It smells so good!" Na'e said with a sweaty smile.
"If you give it the box, where will you put your clothes?"
"Don't worry, big brother, I've put the clothes in your suitcase. Anyway, big brother doesn't have many clothes, and we just have half of them each." Her words made Cui Buqun dumbfounded. This girl really made the arrangements clearly.
"Okay, you look at it first, and I'll boil the water."
"By the way, big brother, has it been named?" t.
"That's not the case. Since you will take care of it from now on, then you can take it."
"But... E'er doesn't know how to do it, big brother, come and get it!"
"I bought it for one gold, so let's call it one gold."
In fact, Cui Buqun thought very simply. This escape spirit beast ran away immediately. It was of little use to call it a name, so he just picked it up casually.
"Yijin, Yijin, hello Yijin, I am your master, my name is Na'e, the one who rescued you just now is my eldest brother, his name is Cui Buqun, we also have A Niang and Cui Buqun at home. Auntie, Uncle Cui, Sister Qiaoer and Shopkeeper Qi, welcome you to join us."
After hearing what E Tian said, Cui Buqun smiled and thought to himself: This silly girl thought that this spiritual beast could stay with her forever.
What about Er? Will you stay with yourself forever? After trying hard to shake off his unclear thoughts, Cui Buqun continued to add firewood and boil water. After his father and mother left, the house felt like home again in the past two days.
Cui Buqun brought the warm water and put it on the ground, "E'er, the water is ready. I'll leave it to you when I get down."
The escape spirit beast can still attack people, but its combat effectiveness is not strong. Even so, Cui Buqun must be careful of its random behavior to avoid hurting Na'e.
"Yijin, it's time to take a bath, be good." After Na'e said, he reached into the iron cage with his hands and took Curly Mane into the water. His movements were extremely gentle, and Curly Mane did not show any strange behavior during the whole process. .
Let Na'e clean it with water, and the color of its fur gradually showed under the hot sun.
"Big brother, it's golden, look!" The little guy was extremely excited.
The golden curly fur clings tightly to the body, like lamb's hair, and the limbs are thick and powerful, giving people the wrong impression of being clumsy.
"Not bad, Yijinhua is not unjust." Cui Buqun joked.
Na'e put the cleaned curly mane on the stone bench where the sun shined, and carefully took out a handkerchief to wipe its eyes, "Brother, what can I eat for one gold?"
"This... must be meat. Wait, I'll catch a chicken for it." Cui Buqun walked out as he said that.
After a while, he walked in with a big rooster in his hand and secretly closed the door.
Na'e knew at a glance that the chicken had unknown origins and said, "Brother, stealing is wrong."
She stood in the courtyard menacingly, giving Cui Buqun the illusion of a fierce wife.
"No, it's okay. I've killed it anyway, you can do whatever you want." He threw the rooster in front of Yijin and entered the house alone.
"It's just a chicken, getting so angry..."
Hearing that there was no movement in the courtyard for a long time, Cui Buqun ran out quickly. When he saw that the courtyard was empty, he suddenly panicked.
He rushed out, looking left and right, and began to search in various streets. Because of Na'e's special status, he did not dare to shout, so he could only search anxiously in alleys one after another. her figure.
Even after meeting at dusk, he still found nothing. He stood on the bustling street, feeling restless at his feet and asked, "Where have you been?"
Do you want to ask the master? How dare you open your mouth about such a thing...
Cui Buqun was extremely tangled along the way. When he walked into his small courtyard again, he found that the red candle in the courtyard was on.
"Brother, where have you gone?"
Under the eaves, a little girl put her right hand on her hip and held her curly mane in her left hand. She looked angrily at Cui Buqun who had just returned.
"You...why are you at home?" Cui Buqun looked shocked.
Na E gently put Yi Jin on the ground, stood up and walked towards Cui Buqun: "Where could E'er be if he wasn't at home? Didn't my elder brother tell me not to go out?" Why did he do it instead?
Forgot again?
"I am confessing..."
"Big brother hasn't said where he went yet? He went out without saying a word. Have you forgotten what Uncle Cui and Aunt Cui told you?" Her reluctance made Cui Buqun a little confused. measures.
"I... will definitely do it next time." After searching for so long, he ignored it. Cui Buqun became more and more angry as he thought about it, "What about you? Where have you been?"
"E'er and Yijin went to the backyard to pluck the rooster... Could it be that the elder brother went to find E'er and Yijin?" The little girl tilted her head, her expression as innocent as possible.
"No!" Cui Buqun objected without thinking. He was so impatient that he lost his temper at a child.
"E'er...um...are you hungry?"
"E'er and Yijin have had dinner. Big brother, please come in and have dinner." After saying that, he picked up Yijin and walked into the house first, followed closely by Cui Buqun.
As soon as he entered the house, Cui Buqun saw the "rice" prepared by Na'e, chicken pieces as black as charcoal, and a plate of green boiled vegetables.
"Brother, hurry up and eat. This is all yours. Yijin and I have already eaten."
The little guy was sitting on the stool, looking like a little adult, as if a supervisor was supervising his meal, and he was doing his duty.
He had no choice but to pick up a piece with his chopsticks and asked with a defiant look on his face: "Uh... can one gold eat this meat?"
Can this be called meat?
This is obviously charcoal!
"Yijin eats vegetables but not meat. Brother, hurry up and eat it. Don't waste it." He said and pushed the whole plate of chicken nuggets towards where Cui Buqun was sitting.
"Okay, okay, I'll eat, I'll eat." As soon as a piece of meat entered his mouth, bitter, astringent, woody...all kinds of unpleasant tastes "gathered together", Cui Buqun kept hypnotizing himself in his mind, this is delicious! This is delicious! Then he started chewing it.
After swallowing a piece, he just wanted to describe the taste of the chicken as chewing wax. He might as well eat the vegetables.
"Brother, isn't the meat made by E'er delicious?"
Cui Buqun's hand holding the vegetables suddenly stiffened, then he picked up another piece of meat and put it into his mouth.
He stole the wrong chicken. He will buy a new rooster and return it tomorrow.
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 carriage 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 that under the wheel
There was a wooden stick with a sharpened top on it, two meters long, thick at the handle and getting 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."
