Chapter 20 Teenagers give clothes, girls refuse knives
Compared with Funiu Town, the night in Mingfeng Village is much lonely and deserted. Xu Qingmu was walking alone on the street, and could only see a few cloth shops with lights on, and a few people still working hard. Xu Qingmu stopped
He stepped down and looked carefully at the Xia Pei that had been sewn by the woman in the shop. The colorful feathers outlined with gold threads and the two slender vertically embroidered long-legged phoenixes were so lifelike that the young man was fascinated by them.
If Lin Xue wore it, she would be the most beautiful person in the world.
Then the young man touched his face and said to himself: "It's the same if I don't wear it."
The proprietress of the shop saw this young man with a face as white as jade but carrying a wooden sword parked at the door. The middle-aged woman, who had not seen her husband for many years and kept making dirty talk, had long lost the shyness of a young girl. When women gathered together, they were often like tigers and wolves.
They greeted each other, and now they started to feel playful. So they put down the unfinished embroidery work in their hands, puffed out their chests, walked with a pace that even the women next to them called sluts, and walked up to the young man frivolously: "Hey,
Little brother, you have a good eye." He adjusted the position of his chest, deliberately shrugged his shoulders, squeezed the already big boy's head, leaned over and continued: "Come in and take a look, maybe you can catch your eye.
?Look at it for free."
Xu Qingmu, who was still immersed in his own world, didn't pay attention. He just felt that what the landlady said was reasonable and it would be fine. So he followed the landlady into the tailor shop.
Hanging on the outside of the house are some beautiful clothes and shawls that attract women's attention, while the walls of the inner room are covered with men's accompanying clothes from the war, as well as several torn but repaired military uniforms. The Xu Dynasty
The unique red-eyed snake-shaped logo is particularly eye-catching. The long table in the middle of the room is covered with various embroidered cloths, needlework, etc. Sitting at the table are several other people who are slightly younger but are as good as the boss lady in every aspect.
The female employees couldn't hide the gloating in their eyes at this moment. After working with the boss's wife for so long, they have already developed a mouthful of nasty words that are as good as anyone else's. Today, this young boy with a fair face is about to stab his butt with a knife - it's an eye-opener.
.
Sure enough, the proprietress followed her strength and pressed herself next to Xu Qingmu. She picked up a piece of soft fabric like ferret fur on the table and placed it on her chest where she had squeezed out a large piece of white. She raised her orchid and pointed: "Look at this.
A piece of top-quality fur, but the best handkerchief fabric for every woman. Do you have a girl you like? Send her a gift, which is guaranteed to make her a beautiful girl!" The landlady changed her position again, leaning forward with her body and the fabric at the same time: "Is it white?
Touch it and see, it’s quite soft and soft?”
Xu Qingmu looked at the two pieces of snow in front of him, and realized that this was the boss's wife deliberately teasing him. Xu Qingmu, who had been hanging out with the old beggar since he was a child, was influenced by it. After all, he had seen all kinds of big peaks and waves, so he asked with innocent eyes:
"Can you touch both pieces of snow? And as you said, you are not allowed to ask for money if you touch them."
The women around them stared at the joke and were delighted to see it. It was a rare spectacle to watch the landlady, who was always very accomplished in "tiger and wolf words", choke up. So everyone put down what they were doing.
, leaning on the table with his face propped up on his elbows, watching the battle of sweet words and words, laughing without saying a word.
After reacting, the landlady suddenly pretended to be shy, her eyebrows were full of sorrow, and she pinched Xu Qingmu's hand with her little green fingers, and was about to walk upstream. After all, this young woman was not comparable to the young girl, although she lacked a natural
Fresh and lively, the charm that can be cultivated by a man is full of charm! The landlady was still complaining at this moment, and she said: "If the little brother likes the figure of this old lady, the slave family will definitely have no complaints. The family has been dead for half a year.
If I don't come back once, I think that the skills in bed that I have accumulated for so long will definitely live up to the young hero's expectations. If the young hero feels that the slave's family is not enough for one person..." The proprietress directed the young man's attention to the group of ladies who were watching the fun.
He continued: "They are also suffering from drought and lack of rain for a long time, and they are just waiting for your nourishment, young hero."
The young man quickly withdrew his hand, his cheeks were red, and he ran away. After all, he was not good at learning. Now he remembered that he had learned too little from the old beggar, and he felt regretful.
A complete failure.
The whole room behind him was filled with laughter, unbridled.
Xu Qingmu walked along the river, and soon saw a bonfire lit in front of him. After confirming that it was Cao Dan, he immediately changed his route, turned around and ran towards the house deeper.
Cao Dan also discovered Xu Qingmu who turned around and ran away. At this moment, he secretly blamed himself, whether he had been bullying him recently and it had become a psychological shadow. Thinking that he had always beaten him with black nose and swollen eyes these few times, it was indeed a bit too much.
.So I secretly made up my mind to be gentler in the future.
But just when Cao Dan was thinking wildly, Xu Qingmu in the distance was holding a plump duck in his hand, and its wings were flapping occasionally. It was obvious that he had just died.
Cao Dan wished he could slap himself twice!
"I just passed by the river and saw this duck drowned." Xu Qingmu said cheerfully: "It's a pleasure to help others, please help Brother Duck as soon as possible. Hurry up and add firewood, and by the way, lend me your pocket knife."
After saying that, he plucked the duck's feathers by himself, his movements were quite skillful, and it was obviously not the first time.
Cao Dan was even more speechless, but he still took out the hidden knife hidden by his left leg. Just as he was about to hand it over, he realized something was wrong.
"How do you know I have a knife?" Cao Dan stopped the knife in his hand and asked.
"I touched it." Xu Qingmu may have been immersed in plucking hair, and blurted out without thinking at all: "When you were asleep that day, I saw a mark on your leg, so I touched it, and it felt like a knife.
." Suddenly Xu Qingmu felt a chill, and realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he quickly added: "I only touched the knife, not other places!" Then he held the dead duck in front of his chest and lay on the ground.
Moved a few steps.
Cao Dan still suppressed his anger and threw out the hidden knife.
Looking at Xu Qingmu happily dissecting a duck, Cao Dan calmed down and asked softly: "Xu Qingmu, are you not afraid of dying on the battlefield in the future?"
The boy who lowered his head while playing with the duck didn't even raise his head: "I'm afraid, but I'm even more afraid that the people I care about will die. So I want to become stronger."
Looking at the young man playing with ducks in front of him, he is serious, rigorous and meticulous. But he is a bit... not serious? But thinking of the old beggar, he suddenly felt that Xu Qingmu was not normal for being serious. Those who are close to red are red and those who are close to ink are black.
Soon, the boy set up the fire and hung up the duck. After a while, the fragrance wafted out. Xu Qingmu rubbed his hands and kept licking his mouth. When the duck was cooked, he tore off a large piece of duck leg.
He extended it to Cao Dan. Cao Dan shouted that he would rather die than eat the food that came to him, but his hands were honest, and so was his mouth. After a while, less than half of the duck was left. With one hand, he touched his full belly.
Holding her teeth in one hand, she planned to pack it up and take it away later so that the fat man and the old beggar could have a taste.
Then he pulled out the piece of snow-white mink velvet fabric that he had taken from the shop owner's shop, and handed it to Cao Dan: "This is for you." Xu Qingmu's character is very much like that of an old beggar.
You have to look twice before you leave, it's a mental theft.
"Where did it come from?" After all, it is something that I often use. I knew it was the fabric used by women to wrap their breasts. The poor young boy only heard the boss lady say it was a handkerchief. He had never seen it or touched it.
Yes, I was deceived without knowing it.
"The boss lady gave it to me. She said it was a good thing, so I thought of you." Xu Qingmu relaxed, tilted his head, cleaned the knife and handed it to Cao Dan: "I don't like it. If you don't like it, give it to me. I'll give it to you."
other people."
Cao Dan retracted his Diao Mao hand and did not make a sound. He also did not take the knife handed over by Xu Qingmu. He just asked: "Do you know the son of King Xu Yan and the current crown prince - Xu Pei?
?"
Seeing Cao Dan's serious face, Xu Qingmu adjusted his sitting posture and said: "At the age of ten, he was awarded the word "brave" by the emperor and was one of the twelve nominees of Jingyu Tower. He joined the army in the same year and made several military exploits. He became a disciple of Jian Chi.
Wen Renbo, a twelve-year-old swordsman who cultivated in the third realm. It is said in the world that he is invincible among his peers. Some people predicted that he would probably break through the realm of swordsmanship and enter the legendary thirteenth realm. Fatty told me this. Why did he suddenly mention him?
"
Cao Dan didn't answer. His beautiful eyelashes drooped slightly. He looked a little sad, and his hands holding the minks tightened.
"Well, you thief, I told you to talk about cowhide, but why is the mink velvet on the table missing? It turned out to be stolen by you!" The boss's wife, who was holding her waist with both hands, appeared behind them at some point.
, a fierce and invincible posture. He must have been running over just now, breathing heavily, his chest rising and falling, one wave after another.
Cao Dan was speechless. He shouldn't have believed what this bastard said! So he stood up immediately and said sternly to Xu Qingmu: "Didn't you say that the boss lady gave it to you? If I had known you had stolen it, I would have..."
....." Under the moonlight, the girl's face was delicate and agile. She blinked her eyes, which almost made Xu Qingmu lose consciousness, and shouted: "What are you doing standing still? Let's run separately." After that, she dodged and disappeared in a flash.
Xu Qingmu, who had regained his composure, was just about to take a step when he was grabbed by the landlady and pressed into her arms: "You still want to run? If you don't even finish washing the dishes and chopsticks today, don't even think about leaving. Just treat it as compensation for stealing things."
!”
Xu Qingmu, who was pinned in his arms, immediately gave up struggling and let the landlady handle her without any hesitation.
The old beggar who came back from peeing in the distance and held up his trousers saw this scene with an envious look on his face. He rubbed his hands and said, "The lotus is about to be opened and is still slightly blooming. This leaf and this flower are so enviable."
--------------------------
Xu Jiajun.
Sky Rat Camp.
"Master, is it true that the son born to Empress Cao is not dead? Are you really here to kill him?" A young man in the military tent squatted in front of the table and brought a cup of tea to the middle-aged man holding a long sword in front of him.
The man wrapped in a black robe said: "Your mother has no other abilities. The secret report is truly the best in the world. This information is absolutely reliable." He took the tea handed over by the young man and took a sip, his eyes full of doting.
Seeing that the young man with an imperial look in front of him remained silent, he laughed and said, "Why, you can't bear it?"
The young man who was replaced by Xu Pei was none other than the prince Xu Pei, who had high hopes for him at the moment. The young man smiled and said: "Master, how could you say that to me? I'm just afraid that the information will be wrong. Firstly, it will delay the master, and secondly, I'm afraid of killing the wrong person."
People are just killing innocent people indiscriminately." But then he said with a ferocious smile: "If you kill the wrong person, you kill the wrong person. It's just a cheap life, it doesn't matter."
The man in black robe looked at the prince who was full of anger and was about to enter the fourth realm. He couldn't hide his joy and said: "Yes, that's what a man should do! Don't be in a hurry to break through the fourth realm and lay a solid foundation for the three realms."
The black robe took another sip of the tea handed over by the young man and continued: "I have received the news that the traitor is on his way to the Qishan battlefield. He will set off tonight to kill and cradle him. After all, the two of you have the will of heaven.
There should be no surprises in the battle.”
This is the second time that the prince has heard of the so-called "Controversy of Heavenly Way". The first time was when his private school mentioned it to him. However, after Concubine Ye found out about it, she immediately ordered that the whole family of that private school be executed.
.This was the second time. So he asked: "What exactly is the dispute between heaven and earth?"
The old man did not deliberately conceal it. He touched the young man's head and said: "Since ancient times, the heirs of the royal family have enjoyed the "dragon energy" in their bodies. This is a mysterious and mysterious energy. The specific meaning of being a teacher can only be roughly referenced in classical books.
After one or two times. And you and the traitor were born at the same time, and the competition for the dragon energy became more intense. Only one of the two could survive. That's why your mother spent many years of savings and bribed the midwife who delivered Queen Cao's baby at that time.
I wanted the midwife to kill the thief directly. But the midwife changed her mind at the last moment and just disappeared with the thief."
"But don't worry, this time, I will personally take action to avoid future troubles!"
The prince understood and then said: "Master, take care and have a safe journey!"
The man in black robe put down his tea bowl, laughed and jumped into the sky.
----------------------------------
After the landlady actually pulled Xu Qingmu away, the old beggar sneakily touched the remaining half of the roast duck. With his hands that had just finished peeing, he directly picked up a piece of duck neck and stuffed it into his mouth, with a satisfied expression on his face.
Then he looked at the moon setting in the west and the shadows of the trees moving, and said leisurely:
"The wind is blowing".
Cao Dan, who returned to the military tent, stared at the mink velvet cloth in his hand. He took out the bamboo stick in his hand and sighed:
