Chapter 120 Going to the Market
Mrs. Sun looked surprised, "Who do you have company with?"
Yang Ruoqing said, "Tang Yazi, he happens to be going to the market today. We have made an appointment to go together."
"Oh, that's good, that's good, then I'll feel relieved."
Mrs. Sun's heart dropped, and the corners of her eyes and brows were filled with joy.
"What about that, Qing'er, mother will send you out?"
"Mom, no need, I can go there by myself. I'm afraid Tang Yazi is waiting for me at the entrance of the village."
Yang Ruoqing said.
She remembered that when she and Luo Fengtang parted ways at the entrance of the alley, she said they would meet after a bowl of tea.
By now, I'm afraid it's already taken five or six bowls of tea. I'm afraid he's tired of waiting.
"Okay, okay, I'll watch you leave the house."
"Um"
Watching Yang Ruoqing's back disappear at the corner of the courtyard wall in front of her, Mrs. Sun happily turned around and returned to the courtyard.
It's so good, so good, these two kids actually made an appointment to go to the market together, that's great
It was foggy in the morning, and the sky and the earth were hazy.
The boy's tall and straight body stands at the other end of the pond.
When Yang Ruoqing arrived, she saw a figure over there from a distance and guessed it was him.
She trotted towards him.
Luo Fengtang was looking around, and his eyes lit up when he heard footsteps.
He moved his long legs and walked towards me.
"Sorry, I have something to do over there that delayed me for a while. Have you been waiting for a while?" Yang Ruoqing asked.
"No, I just arrived," Luo Fengtang said.
Just arrived
Yang Ruoqing raised her head and glanced at the layer of mist falling on his head.
This stupid boy looks so stupid. When did he learn to tell white lies?
Not bothering to expose him, Yang Ruoqing said, "Okay, let's hurry up and get on our way."
"Yes." Luo Fengtang nodded, leaned over and stretched out his hand, "Qing'er, let me carry the barrel."
"No, it's not heavy."
"It's okay, just wave your hands and walk away. I don't feel comfortable with my left hand empty," he said.
She took the bucket from Yang Ruoqing's hand and walked ahead to lead the way.
Yang Ruoqing followed behind, her eyes fell on what he was carrying on his right shoulder, and she couldn't help but feel happy.
"Tangyazi, did you take out the bamboo mat under the bed?" she asked.
In order not to attract the attention of the villagers, this boy actually wrapped the black tiger in a bamboo curtain and carried it on his shoulders.
Luo Fengtang didn't gnaw, grinned, and hurried on his way.
Yang Ruoqing saw that his waist was empty again, and there was no more game.
"Tangyazi, you are going to town today. Do you want to take action if there is no game?" she asked as she walked.
Luo Fengtang shook his head, "My uncle has not been in good health these past two days. I didn't dare to go far, so I walked around in the woods behind the village a few times."
Winter is coming soon, and the wild beasts in the mountains no longer hang around in the outer areas such as forests and hillsides. Most of them have migrated deeper into the mountains.
If you want to make big gains, you have to go into the mountains.
A trip to the mountains takes at least three days, ten days and a half is common.
"Let's leave it like this for the rest of the year. When the weather starts to warm up next spring and my uncle's health is better, I will go back to the mountains," Luo Fengtang said.
Yang Ruoqing nodded, "Tangyaozi, how about I discuss something with you?"
"What's going on?"
"You have been hunting in the mountains all year round, so you must be familiar with the paths in the mountains. You should accompany me into the mountains this year. Your uncle, let my mother and Da'an take care of him. What do you think?"
Luo Fengtang was stunned for a moment and stopped in his tracks.
Yang Ruoqing followed behind and was not careful, almost bumping into his back.
"Qing'er, why are you going into the mountains? The mountains are always dangerous. What are you going to do?" Luo Fengtang asked with a look of surprise in his eyes.
There were some things that Yang Ruoqing didn't want to hide from Luo Fengtang.
"My father needs several kinds of herbs for his legs. Those herbs are hard to find in drug stores outside. Even if you can find them, they are probably worth thousands of gold and you can't afford them," Yang Ruoqing said.
"It's too dangerous in the mountains, especially after winter. There are many wild beasts in the mountains that can't find anything to eat, and they are even more ferocious than usual." Luo Fengtang said, "You can tell me what medicine Third Uncle lacks, and I will go into the mountains to find it myself."
Yang Ruoqing couldn't help but rolled her eyes.
"Tangyaozi, your intention is good, but herbal medicine is different from deer and rabbits. Even if you understand it, you can't understand it. Even if you understand it, you won't be able to understand it when it is mixed in a pile of weeds.
I’ll definitely recognize it.”
Luo Fengtang was startled. This is true.
"Qing'er, do your parents know about your plan to go into the mountains to find herbs?" he asked again.
Yang Ruoqing said, "I don't know yet, but I will convince them."
After a moment of silence, Luo Fengtang nodded, "Sure, when will you enter the mountain? You should tell me in advance and I will prepare."
"Well, I know Tangyazi that you are the best, okay?"
When Yang Ruoqing was happy, she said something modern and after speaking, she clapped her hands and ran to the front, leading the way happily.
Luo Fengtang couldn't help laughing when he saw the childish behavior of the girl in front of him.
Then I thought again, Qing'er is not that old to begin with.
Only twelve years old
But, what does it mean to be so huh?
Luo Fengtang was thinking about the thirty-mile journey from Changping Village to Qingshui Town, but he couldn't figure out what these three words meant.
I wanted to ask, but I was too embarrassed to open my mouth.
It wasn't until he arrived in town and was asked by Yang Ruoqing where to go to the restaurant that he came to his senses.
"Tangyaozi, if you ask me, I can just send the dog to the biggest restaurant in town."
Yang Ruoqing suggested.
The largest restaurants have more diners coming and going, and the upper limit of the price they can offer is definitely beyond the reach of other smaller restaurants.
Luo Fengtang nodded and had no objection to Yang Ruoqing's proposal.
"Qing'er, wait for me here."
Suddenly, he put the black tiger he was carrying on his shoulders along with the bamboo mat on the roadside, put the barrel down firmly, and walked towards a shop on the other side of the road.
Yang Ruoqing stared at his back in surprise.
He went to a bun shop over there.
Yang Ruoqing had eaten the steamed buns from that steamed bun shop. The last time she went to the market, she bought the thin-skinned and stuffed meat buns here.
Soon, Luo Fengtang ran back with four hot steamed buns wrapped in oil paper in his arms.
"Qing'er, come on, eat it while it's hot."
He kept one for himself and gave the other three to Yang Ruoqing along with the oil paper.
Yang Ruoqing suddenly realized.
"Tangyazi, you can eat by yourself. I ate at home when I came here."
Luo Fengtang's family had no land, so he and his sick uncle depended on the bow and arrow in his hand for food and clothing.
The meat buns at this restaurant cost a penny each.
Yang Ruoqing couldn't bear to eat the buns he bought, so she stuffed the buns back to him.
"After driving thirty miles, I'm hungry. You can eat."
Luo Fengtang firmly stuffed the two buns back into Yang Ruoqing's hand, took his own, turned around and stuffed it into his mouth.
Yang Ruoqing looked at his back and sighed secretly.
