Seven Stars walked in the mountains and forests, their steps were light and they made no sound when they stepped on dead branches and leaves.
She didn't know how long she had been walking, but when the usual noise of the forest was mixed with rustling sounds, she stopped.
She squinted her eyes, looked in one direction through the bushes, raised her hand, and the dry biscuits given to her by Qing Pheasant flew into the bushes like meteors, and immediately sounded a shrill and angry scream.
The rocks and dead branches and leaves under the feet shook, the bushes as dense as arrows were suddenly pushed down, and a dark wild boar rushed out.
This was not an adult wild boar, but it was not small either. It had dead leaves, mud, and blood on its face and head.
One of its eyes appears to be broken.
The pain makes the boar mad, the smell of strangers makes it angry.
The wild boar rushes in with a roar, and the strong wind it brings can knock people down.
Even if it can't be blown down, it can be knocked down by one end, and then trampled with hooves, it turns into mud together with the mud and dead leaves on the ground.
But the moment he rushed over, the person in front of him disappeared.
The bamboo stick made a clanking sound on the rocks, and the person jumped up in the air, fluttering lightly. The next moment, the person holding the bamboo stick fell suddenly like a sharp sword.
The wild boar howled loudly and rolled all over the ground, dead branches and rotten leaves and mud were splashing everywhere, trees rooted deep in the rocks shook wildly, and birds, pheasants and rabbits scurried around.
But the madness only lasted a moment, and it calmed down after a while.
The wild boar was lying on the ground, twitching slightly. There was a scratch at the junction of the neck and the thick body, and blood was flowing out.
Qixing raised her feet to avoid staining the skirt of her shoes.
only
She lowered her head and raised her sleeves, exposing her wrists, with a few drops of blood seeping from her fair skin.
There wasn't much blood, and it no longer appeared when I touched it with my hand, leaving only a shallow scratch.
Qixing frowned slightly, his flesh and blood body was very fragile.
…
…
The little girl's fragile flesh and blood body could not carry a wild boar down the mountain, so Miss Qixing went down the mountain and told Qing Pheasant to ask the villagers for help.
For the first time, the mountains became so lively, with exclamations coming and going.
"What a wild boar!"
"My grandfather said that the top of the mountain here is called Wild Boar Stream. No wonder, there are really wild boars."
"It's really scary. Fortunately, we don't come this way."
At this point, everyone looked at the two girls again.
"How did this wild boar die?"
Earlier, two girls said they had picked up a wild boar. Everyone thought it was a joke, but now they saw a wild boar dead on the ground with their own eyes.
What happened to this wild boar?
Ever since he saw the wild boar, Qing Zhi had been in a daze. When he heard the question, he murmured the lady's words: "Just wait and see."
Sit back and wait? The villagers think they understand, but they don’t quite understand.
"I set some traps earlier and caught some rabbits and pheasants." Qixing explained to everyone, "I was thinking of setting some traps in the mountains to catch more, but I didn't expect that when I came in, I saw a wild boar going crazy, and he was in the tree.
He bumped into it and killed himself."
The villagers screamed, thinking that this sounded so unbelievable, but they had to believe it even if it was unbelievable. Could it be that the wild boar was killed by these two girls instead of being killed by itself?
That is even more unbelievable!
"Miss Qixing, this is a gift from Mr. Yue Lao to you." A villager couldn't help but say.
The four villagers lifted the wild boar and shouted it down the mountain road, with Qixing and Qing Pheasant following behind.
"This explanation can appease everyone." Qixing whispered to Qingzhi, "If you say that I set a trap to catch him, it doesn't sound credible."
Qing Zhi looked at her, and the young lady's dark eyes seemed to be shining with a bit of pride.
"Here." Qixing handed her the dry biscuit again, "This bait is very effective."
Qing Pheasant looked at the dry biscuits stained with blood and mud, and recognized that he had handed them to the young lady to satisfy her hunger and serve as bait, but
She wanted this pancake to seduce the greedy pheasant and hare...
A piece of dry biscuit can seduce a wild boar. Miss, do you think this sounds credible?
The villagers put the wild boar on the cart prepared by Qing Pheasant.
Qing Pheasant prepared the cart again and removed the mattress - originally the lady was supposed to sit on it, and hung the prey in front of the cart.
Now, the wild boar has taken over the car, and the pheasants and hares are crowding in the corner.
"Miss, you can sit in front of the car." Qingzhi placed the small cushion in front of the car and patted it.
Qixing glanced at the skinny donkey pulling the cart: "I'll walk, the wild boar is very heavy."
The wild boar was heavier than the young lady, and with one person on it, the skinny donkey would be unable to pull it. Qing Pheasant did not try to persuade her anymore, but said, "Uncle Wang said, even if we walk slowly, we can walk to the city in half a day."
"
This is already the outskirts of Xucheng County. Miss, walk more slowly so that it won't be too hard.
But Uncle Wang was also wrong. They or it could be said that the young lady's journey took less than half a day.
The young lady's steps were neither fast nor slow, but she walked faster and faster, and even the thin donkey and the green pheasant could not keep up with her.
In the end, the lady slowed down her pace and rested on the side of the road for a moment before taking her and Skinny Donkey on their way.
Green Pheasant was holding the cart from behind, looking at the wild boar on the cart, and then at the young lady leading the donkey in front, and many questions came to mind.
"Miss." She couldn't help calling.
Qixing turned around and asked: "Are you still tired?" She paused and said, "Don't be afraid, we will be there soon."
Hearing the last sentence, Qing Zhi wanted to laugh a little. She had often said this sentence when she was dragging the young lady home.
The words were spoken to the young lady, but in fact they were also spoken to herself.
Unexpectedly, the young lady remembered it and now came to comfort her.
Qing Pheasant felt sour, swallowed back the flipped question, and said loudly: "Miss, I have asked Uncle Wang where to sell the prey and the approximate price. It will depend on my ability in a while. I will definitely sell these prey."
Sell it for a good price!”
The lady looked at her, smiled slightly, and nodded.
They were lucky today. As soon as they entered the West Market, they met a buyer in a restaurant. They were first attracted by two little girls pulling wild boars. After seeing them, they readily accepted all the prey.
"Girl, if your family ever catches a good prey, come directly to Shunde Building to find me." The steward named Sun said with a smile.
Family, they have no family, their family is the young lady herself, Qing Zhi thought to herself, lowering his head while pulling the cart without saying a word, and heard the young lady respond well.
Shunde House is a big restaurant. They unloaded the goods at the back door. The guys unloaded the prey and looked at the two girls curiously while whispering about "Hunters outside the city?" "When were there hunters outside the city?" "Not all.
Are they those who farm and fish in the lake?"
Qixing and Qingzhi let Qixing look and discuss, and waited quietly. Soon the cashier settled the bill, Qingzhi couldn't hide his excitement and shook Qixing's hand: "We are rich."
Qixing also nodded, called the steward who was about to leave, and asked: "Where can I get a bed in this city?"
Bed? The steward was stunned for a moment. This kind of household shopping is not done by the men in the family. What can the two girls see?
However, thinking that two girls were bringing wild boars to sell, the adults in the family must not be able to leave. The manager thought for a while and said, "In the East Market, the craftsmen's shops are all over there."
When she was in the Lu family, Miss Qixing lived in a side courtyard, and the beds she slept on were far less exquisite than those of the ladies at home. But after leaving the Lu family, Qing Pheasant realized that even if the bed was not exquisite, the price was not low.
Qing Zhi stared at a small couch, which was similar to the servant bed she slept on in the Lu family. After asking the price, she couldn't help but mutter to herself: "It turns out that I have been sleeping on three wild boars."
The shopkeepers who were waiting for customers were all confused: "What did the girl say? We don't have wild boars here."
Qingzhi smiled at him and didn't bother to explain. He turned to look at Qixing and called out "Miss" with some grievance.
I know that life will be difficult after leaving the Lu family, but I really feel that it makes me feel sad.
The young lady's expression was very calm, but Qing Zhi saw how carefully the young lady had just examined them, and even caressed the beds.
You must like it very much.
How sad it must be to know now that even if we want to buy these beds, we can catch and sell all the wild boars in the Wild Boar Stream.
"Miss." Qing Zhi called softly, then cheered up and whispered, "When I get back, I will help you make traps together. Let's catch more prey. One day we can afford it."
Miss Qixing said oh and shook her head: "No need."
No need? Did the lady give up? What did Qing Zhi say? The lady has already talked to the guy.
"Do you sell tools here?" she asked.
The guy didn't seem to understand: "Tool? What tool?"
Qing Pheasant understood a little bit, and a thought came to his mind, no way.
The lady's voice had already sounded, and names that were unfamiliar to Qingjia appeared: "Pusher, axe, saw, ruler, ink pipe, line."
These names were not unfamiliar to the store clerk, but they made him even more surprised and a little funny.
"Girl," the guy asked with a smile, "Do you want to make the bed yourself?"
Qixing nodded: "Yes." He smiled at the waiter, raised his hand and waved it gently, "I have very good hands."
