Wings of Hung Chien - Chapter 5
The sun has risen, and it shines on Chenghu Lake, with a mottled glow.
Since Bai Yi kept looking at her, Si Hongcang raised his head and asked her.
“What’s wrong?”
“Are you so unguarded towards people?” Even a woman shouldn’t take people lightly! Bai Yi asked her with a disapproving face.
“Actually there is.”
“Yes? You don’t know my background, so you told me to live in your house like this?” Bai Yi looked at her disapprovingly.
“You don’t look like a bad person…”
“How do you know that I’m not a bad person?” Bai Yi glared at her.
“Uh… intuition.”
“Just relying on intuition? You are an animal.” Bai Yi spat, although he was not satisfied with Si Hongcang’s explanation, he could still accept it.
“You are the animal, and the wild animal of the cat family!” The sense of smell is keen, the alertness is high, and the walk is light and silent.
“Your opinion is quite special.”
“You don’t let it go. How is your injury?” Si Hongcang saw with his own eyes that the sword was inserted into her shoulder last night. Not to mention her, it hurts just by looking at her. If it were her who suffered that kind of injury, her arm would definitely not be able to move for two or three months.
“No problem.”
“That’s good. Well, the house is yours, I’ll go out.”
“where to?”
“I’m going to catch the little piglet and bring it back.”
“You want to raise pigs? Where are you raising them?” Bai Yi glanced around and asked in confusion.
“The courtyard…” Just after he said that, Bai Yi squinted at her like an idiot. As a result, her incomplete words were stuck in her throat, unable to utter a single word again.
“Don’t you think it’s too naive? There are no fences or fences in this yard, just a few bushes of dwarf cuckoos. Even if the little piggy is not taken away by the wild beasts, if it just runs, it will disappear immediately. “
“Uh, that’s right.” Si Hongcang looked around…it was true.
“I’ll help you build a pigsty. When the pigsty is finished, it’s not too late for you to catch and raise it.”
“Ah! Thank you so much, Bai Yi.”
“I don’t know how you grew up.”
“Hehehe… Heaven raised me.” Si Hongcang pointed at the sky and smiled.
“…” Bai Yi gave her an understanding look. No, God loves good people, stupid people have stupid blessings.
In less than a day, Bai Yi went up the mountain to chop wood, cut wood, pick stones, lay stones, and lay the foundation. A spacious and sturdy pigpen appeared in front of Si Hongcang, who had returned from the field. Not only that, she also helped her build a chicken house! He even helped her replace the thatch on the roof, and sharpened all the knives in her house.
Looking at this scene, it’s hard not to be surprised! This woman is too amazing? ! Si Hongcang threw himself on the ground for the five bodies that she admired.
“You are too amazing!”
“These are but little things.”
“Is this a trivial matter?!”
“Is this a big deal?”
“It’s not a trivial matter if you can handle this alone. I’m going to catch the piglets.”
“Go ahead. I’ll bring you some hogweed and come back later.”
“thanks.”
In the future, Bai Yi sometimes went up the mountain to hunt or gather herbs, sometimes at home, and sometimes watching after her, like a silent overseer.
One day at noon, Bai Yi, who was eating under the shade of a tree, said, “You are not the material for farming.”
Si Hongcang was a little frustrated, “I really can’t carry the plow, and I can’t hold it steady.”
Bai Yi said honestly, “No, you are bullied by chickens and pigs when you feed them.”
Si Hongcang bit his chopsticks and snorted dissatisfiedly, “Why did you say it? Sprinkle salt on wounds! I’m learning! One day I will become an expert in livestock farming.”
“Just those hands?” Bai Yi glanced contemptuously at the hands that were scarred and blistered, “Your hands are too tender, and your body is very weak.”
“Have you never heard of “Sincere is due to gold and stone”.” Si Hongcang sank his face and ate unhappily.
She admits that she is stupid. But the chickens and pigs are well raised, the farming in the fields is thriving, and the vegetable garden is even greener. From cooking rice to cooking soup, in the end, she still feeds herself, and she doesn’t starve to death!
She cherishes such an achievement!
“Your body and bones are very soft, so it is very suitable for practicing martial arts. Do you want to learn it?” I thought: It is rare in the world for a woman to be as weak as her. Deliberately ignoring the unhappiness on her face, Bai Yi asked her while eating.
really weird! Facing a soft lady like Si Hongcang, Bai Yi couldn’t hate her. Because just looking at her alone taking care of the farmland and vegetable gardens and the chickens and pigs she raises, it is her appearance that gives people the illusion of weakness, but her heart is by no means weak.
“Really?! But at this age, can I still learn?” Si Hongcang asked her in surprise when he heard the words.
“It’s a pity, but it’s not a problem. As long as you make up your mind to study and you can persevere, you won’t be able to be a master, but you can still be a master.”
“I don’t want to become a martial arts master. As long as I can strengthen my body, I am very satisfied, so I will definitely persevere!”
“Practicing martial arts is hard.” Although he said that, Bai Yi still gave her a small blow.
“I know. If you eat hard and suffer, you will be a good person.”
“Start practicing tomorrow morning.” Bai Yi glanced at her, the corners of his lips raised slightly.
“Okay. By the way, do you want to worship the teacher?”
“No, just take it as the expense for me to borrow you here.”
“Isn’t this too bad for you?” Such a good thing? ! Si Hongcang glanced at her.
“Whether it will suffer or not, who knows in the future? What do you want to do? I want you to hold on to it.” Bai Yi raised his eyebrows and looked at her.
“That’s right…” This is the truth. If you don’t have the perseverance to persevere to the end, nothing will be worth it. But why does she do this? Almost everything is possible! Si Hongcang tilted his head to look at her.
“What’s wrong?”
“Apart from martial arts, chopping bamboo to make tables and chairs, logging to surround pigsties, and laying stones and piling to build chicken huts, what else do you know?”
“Um……”
Seeing her raised eyebrows and looking at the sky, Si Hongcang’s head slammed down. Taking care of this, it should be that she knows too many things, and she can’t count them all at once…
So she changed to another way of asking, maybe Bai Yi would have a better answer.
“Just say there is something you can’t do.”
“Have a baby.” This was something she would never be able to do.
It was quick and easy, but it hurt Si Hongcang’s little self-esteem too much. Look, she is also a woman, she is a powerful being!
“…” Uh—— this, don’t say she can’t, even if she’s in this female honored world now, it’s impossible to do it, okay?
Since I accidentally got such a treasure trove, how can I be worthy of myself if I don’t dig it out?
The so-called one skill in one’s body is infinitely useful!
Yunjia——-
Yun Ruo, who got cold because of falling into the water this time, not only rested at home, but also made the family spend a small amount of medical expenses for him. Of course, given his family background, one or two taels of silver would be a huge expense for the Yun family.
Yun Ruo, who was lying on the bed, frowned and thought hard, but the Song family was very worried outside. I thought to myself: Why is my son lying on the bed, don’t you feel uncomfortable again?
Seeing that his wife and daughter had gone down again, he hurriedly entered the room and touched Yun Ruo’s forehead, asking, “Ruo’er, are you feeling uncomfortable again?”
Yun Ruo was startled, only to realize that he had been lying down for a while. The family is so busy, no wonder Dad is worried.
Sitting up hurriedly, he grabbed Dad’s arm and said, “Daddy, don’t make clothes for your son when you go to the market the other day, just grab two pigs and bring back a few more broods of chickens, okay?”
Seeing that his son was worrying about the house again, Mrs. Song felt sore in his heart, took his hand and said, “Silly boy! You think it’s just you! People don’t know how to raise chickens and pigs? It’s just that they don’t have anything to feed. Catch two more pigs, what do you give them to eat? Drink the northwest wind! And the chickens, too, in the spring and summer, they can still be stocked, and they can find their own worms to eat. .”
Yun Ruo hurriedly said, “That’s why I figured out a way! Daddy, think about it, let’s be a little tired, mow more hogweed and pile it in the cellar, add corn stalks, and you can manage it for a while! That chicken, Daddy you Don’t worry about it, I’m going to raise some crickets (the soil name for earthworms), maybe I can come up with a good way! Let’s grow more vegetables in winter, if it’s harder, people can eat them, pigs can eat them, no Okay? Our vegetable field is too small. I can see that a large piece of land next to the thatched hut outside the courtyard is not empty? Sweet potato. There are four people in our family, all of whom can work, so what are you afraid of?”
Seeing what his son said, Mrs. Song made plans for the family. In addition to catching the little piglets, it cost money. For this matter, the son said that the clothes were not made, and the other things cost nothing. It’s not just a child.
He thought about it for a while, but it wasn’t too difficult, just try it out. Just following his son’s wishes, it also made him feel more relaxed. Don’t worry about the medical expenses this time and the bad thing about Xu Fumei.
So, Mrs Song said with a smile, “Sure! Daddy will listen to you, and I’ll go catch the piglets tomorrow. Chickens, I’ll get some eggs for your grandfather to help hatch the chicks. What about the rooster at home? It’s time to brood, and when to hatch again. If you can really make a cricket, then don’t be afraid to feed more chickens!”
Yun Ruo saw that this persuaded his father, and he was very happy, as if he saw the money rolling in.
He pursed his lips and smiled, and then said to his father, “Let my mother help me make a shrimp net, and I can go to the river to bring some fish and shrimp to come back for a tooth sacrifice in my spare time!” Seeing that Song’s face changed, he hurriedly added, ” I’m going with my sister!”
Song Shi was relieved after this, and reminded him carefully again, nothing more than to be careful alone, and if there is anything, just wait for her sister to come back and do it together, etc.
After speaking, he asked Yun Ruo again, “Ruo’er, are you all right now?”
“Ai.”
“Well, tomorrow, my family will go to Ah Cang’s house to thank her.” The Song family has been keeping track of the life-saving kindness for a long time, and she has to say thank you to Si Hongcang.
“Ah, should have gone.”
“That’s right, I should have gone to thank her long ago.”
The grandfathers were discussing what would be more appropriate gifts when they went to Si Hongcang’s house tomorrow.
