Chapter 178: The Difference Between Brother and Parent
However, Ren Xiaohei shouted so loudly that his throat was broken, and the voice of the old Taoist priest was no longer heard in the divine sea.
The old Taoist priest's words were like a bolt of lightning that struck the soft spot in his heart. After some thought, he had no choice but to follow the old shopkeeper to Beiqi.
After all, he promised the Queen that he would go to Northern Qi to do business for a few years.
He felt like Watson when he went to the grassland, and the troubles that followed would be one after another.
Until he left Northern Qi, or until his brother left Tianshan and came to Northern Qi to find him.
With the old Taoist priest here, he believed that his brother could find him.
Resigned to his fate, Xiao Hei felt his throat was dry, so he and the old shopkeeper quietly cooked a pot of spiritual tea in front of the fire. The two of them drank three cups without stopping.
He didn't have the strength to dig a big hole for more than thirty people, so he dragged the thirty-three people together, and a paper talisman flew out and burned to ashes.
All the tents were burned, along with the carriages.
In the end, the two people left only two carriages, one for pulling goods and one for people.
The old shopkeeper finally dug a pit, buried the ashes of thirty-three people, and erected a stone tablet on it.
After doing all this, a hint of fish belly white appeared on the horizon, and it was almost dawn.
Before it was completely dark and the two little guys hadn't woken up, Xiao Hei called the old shopkeeper to help him handle the big snake by the creek.
I kept the snake meat until I got to the inn today and rested for a few days to dry the meat.
The skin of the snake that is about to turn into a dragon is a treasure, and so are the snake bones.
After arriving in Beiqi, after selling, I can at least raise the two little ones until they are five years old.
Fortunately, the old shopkeeper didn't ask too much. In his opinion, Xiao Hei had avenged everyone by killing the big snake, and he was a hero of Zhou Dynasty.
The pot of snake meat porridge was not ready yet, and the two little guys woke up with a whine.
Xiao Hei washed his hands, came to the side of the carriage, opened the curtain, looked at the two little guys and said distressedly: "Your mother was killed by a big snake, and I will be your brother from now on."
After thinking about it, I can't be the father of these two guys, and I can't get much in exchange for being the older brother.
Shuzi is the elder sister, and she can be the elder sister to these two little guys at most.
The little white wolf obviously didn't come back to his senses. He ran over and gently licked Xiao Hei's hand and whined, "That means I'm hungry and want to feed."
Xiao Qingqing was not so easy to deal with. She held Xiao Hei's hand and took a bite, then she moaned like Xiao Yan'er.
Xiaohei was so angry that he touched her head and said: "Xiao Qingqing, you are a human being, not a wolf. You have to learn to walk in the future. You are not allowed to crawl on the ground like a wolf anymore."
After saying that, he ignored her shouting and carried him to the fire. He first fed the little white wolf a few mouthfuls of snake meat soup, and then fed Qingqing some porridge.
When the old shopkeeper saw it, he couldn't help but ask: "Xiao Hei, you went to the back mountain last night just to save these two little guys? Where is their mother and dad?"
Xiao Hei smiled bitterly and said: "I didn't see their father when I went there, and the she-wolf was about to die, and she made me swear an oath of heaven not to abandon these two little guys..."
While taking out a handkerchief to wipe Xiao Qingqing's mouth, Xiao Hei complained: "Look, I have become the father and mother of both of them, and this little guy wants to bite me."
"Ouch!" Xiao Qingqing didn't care about this. When she was full, she hugged Xiao Hei's little one and took a bite.
On the other hand, the little white wolf who called Yan'er was good. After eating, he didn't make any noise. He lay in Xiao Hei's arms and snored.
The old shopkeeper sighed and said, "This little girl thinks her mother is the dead white wolf. You have to spend some time teaching her slowly. Don't be impatient."
After breakfast, Xiao Hei took the two little guys to the creek and washed them carefully.
The old shopkeeper had already harnessed the carriage and horses. He looked at Xiao Hei from a distance and said, "Xiao Hei, you have to learn to drive the carriage for a while. Let's go to the town ahead and hire two more coachmen."
Xiao Hei responded: "It's okay, I can drive the car."
Back then, the first thing Li Xiuyuan taught Xiao Hei was to drive a cart. Otherwise, how could the two brothers always hire a cart driver when traveling?
So, the old shopkeeper drove a carriage in front, and Xiao Hei drove the carriage behind, while feeding Xiao Lang and Xiao Qingqing a sip of water from time to time.
After running for a while, Xiao Hei put the two little guys into the carriage to sleep. Only in this way could he shake off the whip and go on the road without worries.
The old shopkeeper looking at the front from a distance shouted: "Just find a town ahead, Xiao Hei is going to sleep."
After a busy night, Xiao Hei didn't close his eyelids. Although he was fine without sleeping for a few days, he couldn't stand the sight of two more little guys in front of him. Only after he had a good rest did he feel energetic.
On this day, the two of them had traveled fifty miles and found an inn to stay in the town they passed.
After settling in, Xiao Hei took advantage of the perfect weather and went out with the two little guys in his arms.
First, I found a grocery store and a clothing store to buy clothes and shoes for Xiao Qingqing, and then I went around the streets looking for people to buy milk.
Unfortunately, there were not many mothers-in-law who were in confinement in the town. Finally, out of desperation, Xiao Hei Baohao bought a small pot of goat milk.
This was because the proprietress of a restaurant liked to drink milk. Seeing Xiao Hei hugging the girl, she felt pity for him, so she sold him a bottle.
When he found out that Xiao Hei was going to Yecheng, he smiled and said, "When I go to Huangcheng, let me go and buy two ewes. It's not easy for a family like you to ask for milk."
Xiao Heixin said that this is a good idea. It seems that if you go to the Imperial City, you will have to buy two ewes and raise them. It is estimated that after another year or two of hard work, the two little ones will be weaned.
The first thing I did when I got back to the inn was to ask the waiter to boil two buckets of hot water.
Xiao Hei gave Little White Wolf a bath, and asked a maid from the inn to wash Qing Qing's body thoroughly, and then put on the newly bought clothes and shoes.
The little white wolf was very obedient and obediently asked Xiao Hei to wash her and dry her body. Then he lay on the table and ate the goat's milk.
It's just that Xiao Qingqing kept squealing like a slaughtered pig, and it took the maid half an hour to clean her.
For this reason, Xiao Hei had no choice but to give the maid a reward and then said with an embarrassed smile: "My sister is disobedient and has caused trouble for her."
The maid took the money and didn't care even though she got wet. She touched Xiao Qingqing's head and said, "This is the first time I've seen a girl who doesn't like bathing."
Fortunately, the two of them were not hungry at the moment, otherwise the girl would imitate a wolf howl, which would probably frighten the maid.
There was no other way, so Xiao Hei, like the female wolf, fed Qingqing half a bowl of goat's milk, wiped her face clean, and then carried her to the bed to lie down.
After finishing the work, the old shopkeeper asked the waiter to cook the vegetables and bring them to Xiao Hei's room. He looked at him and smiled and said, "Would you like a drink?"
Xiao Hei leaned on the chair and smiled weakly: "I'm so exhausted, I have to drink two glasses."
The old shopkeeper poured two glasses of wine into the glass and said with a smile: "You have to work hard for a few more days. When we get to the Imperial City of Northern Qi, we will rent a shop and everything will settle down."
Xiao Hei pointed at the snoring girl and complained: "I didn't expect this guy to be more difficult to take care of than Xiao Lang."
The old shopkeeper thought for a while, put a piece of meat into the little black bowl, and said seriously: "You have to remember this. Whenever anyone asks about it in the future, just say it's a puppy, not a wolf."
Xiao Hei was stunned and couldn't help but ask: "Is there any difference?"
The old shopkeeper shook his head: "You are not in the world of immortality. This is the human world, the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Northern Qi Dynasty."
Xiao Hei nodded, looked at Xiao Yan'er who was sleeping soundly, and murmured to himself: "They are all Xiao Hei's sisters, who dares to bully them?"
The old shopkeeper was speechless and simply didn't bother to reason with him.
He just looked at him and asked: "Where is your brother? Why is he willing to let you come to Beiqi alone?"
Xiao Hei took a sip of wine and replied casually: "Brother and Sister Shuzi went to Tianshan, probably to find Brother Xiaohu. I was staying well in the palace..."
Xiao Hei has not studied the history books of Zhou Dynasty as seriously as Li Xiu did, let alone the grievances in the palace.
So at the moment, he didn't know who wanted his life that day when he and Qingyu went home?
In his opinion, if it hadn't been for the attack that time, the Imperial City Empress would not have been so frightened that she would not have let him go out, let alone let him follow the caravan to Northern Qi.
Fortunately, Xiao Hei has a simple mind. As long as he has a place to play, it doesn't matter to him.
As long as you're not hungry, that's all.
After all, with his current ability, even if he encounters a monk who cannot be defeated, he can still turn around and run away. Beating little Li Xiuyuan will teach him the principle of running away if he cannot defeat him.
Want revenge? Come back later when you become more powerful.
The old shopkeeper picked up the wine bottle and poured it for the two of them, then smiled and said: "You will have to ask for milk from these two little guys along the way."
Xiao Hei chuckled: "Don't be afraid, I promised their mother that I will raise them up, and I will teach them their skills when my brother comes back."
Thinking of this, Xiao Hei took out the snake gallbladder and bone elixir from the big snake, looked at the old man and asked: "Shopkeeper, I want to give this inner elixir to Xiaolang, and give this snake gallbladder to sister Qingqing, is it possible????
??????????”
The old shopkeeper was startled when he saw him. He picked up the inner elixir and looked at it again and again, and then asked: "Do you have honey?"
"Yes, wait a moment."
Xiao Hei rummaged around and finally found a bottle of honey and said with a smile: "This was originally intended to be used to make honey, but I didn't expect to meet a killer on the way..."
The shopkeeper sighed, looked at him and said, "Go to the kitchen to get a basin of hot water, and I'll help you."
When Xiao Hei heard that it was possible, he couldn't help but ask: "Are these two little guys too young to withstand the effects of this medicine?"
The old shopkeeper shook his head: "They are heavenly beings now, so it doesn't matter."
Xiao Hei nodded, raised his legs and walked out, shouting: "I'll go right away, old shopkeeper, please wait a moment."
The old man saw Xiao Hei walking out of the room, quickly picked up the inner elixir, snake gallbladder and honey, came to the bed and the golden light in his hand changed, and carefully inserted the inner elixir into the little white wolf's body.
Without waiting for the little white wolf to react, he wrapped the snake gall in honey, picked up little Qingqing, pinched open her mouth, and gently fed the snake gall down her mouth.
After that, he mixed some honey with the warm tea in his hand and fed the little girl a few mouthfuls.
The little girl smacked her little mouth and felt the sweet taste. She didn't cry at the moment. She opened her eyes wide and looked at the old man, then slowly closed her eyes.
Just when Xiao Hei came in with a basin of hot water, the old man put his palms on the chests of the two little guys.
I saw two faint golden lights flashing non-stop. Looking at Xiao Hei, he exclaimed: "So the old shopkeeper also has a certain level of cultivation?"
The old man shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "I just understand some of the medicinal properties. You have to keep these two treasures, but you missed the best opportunity to practice for them."
Xiao Hei looked at the two little guys with a golden light flowing all over their bodies, and smiled with satisfaction: "Now, when they are three years old, they should be at the third level of Qi Gathering, right?"
The old man smiled lightly and said, "I don't know either, but we can witness these two little guys creating miracles together."
In less than a quarter of an hour, the two little guys were sweating profusely in their dreams.
The old man let go of his hands and laughed: "Now it's time for you, the brother who is both father and mother, to wipe away the sweat stains on their bodies."
Xiao Hei chuckled, brought a basin of hot water over, looked at the old shopkeeper and shouted: "Even when Xiao Hei followed his brother, he never served me like this."
