When the child came closer, everyone saw clearly that the child was a little girl who looked to be in her early teens. Her round face looked very attractive, and her two braids looked full of vitality.
The little girl ran up to everyone, looked at everyone with her big black eyes, and asked curiously: "Brothers and sisters, what are you doing around my house?"
Wu Zhengzhi's eyes lit up and he said, "Little sister, this is your home? Who is your grandma in that house?"
The little girl pinched the corner of her clothes and said timidly: "That's my grandma."
Wu Zhengzhi smiled and said: "Little sister, what is your name?"
"Feng Xiaoqin."
The little girl replied crisply. "Oh, Xiaoqin." Wu Zhengzhi said with a kind look on his face, "We are from outside and want to stay in your cottage for one night, but your grandma is not willing.
Do you think you could help us talk a little bit so that your grandma can be accommodating?
After all, it’s almost night, and it’s not convenient for us to look for other places.”
After meeting Grandma, it didn't work before. Wu Zhengzhi now changed his mind and wanted to try to see if he could start with this little girl.
Feng Xiaoqin hesitated when he heard this: "Grandma is actually very hospitable. Didn't you lie to me?"
Wu Zhengzhi's heart moved. It seemed that the grandma had a different face in front of his granddaughter. She was worried about it and said: "Maybe it's because you are afraid that we are bad people, Xiaoqin, otherwise you can help us.
What do you think?"
After speaking, he took out a bamboo flute from his body and said, "Have you seen this thing?"
Feng Xiaoqin's eyes lit up, and she stared at the bamboo flute with big eyes without blinking: "I've seen it before, my dad played it before, and it sounded great."
"Then if you ask your grandma to agree to stay with us, my brother will give you this bamboo flute, okay?"
Feng Xiaoqin was a little confused when she heard this, and then said: "Brother, let me tell you something. Grandma may have been in a bad mood before, because my father and mother left the village and haven't come back for many days."
"It's okay, just give it a try. Regardless of whether you succeed or not, this bamboo flute is given to you."
Wu Zhengzhi smiled slightly and generously gave the bamboo flute to Feng Xiaoqin.
"Thank you, big brother!"
Feng Xiaoqin happily took it and couldn't put it down, playing with it, but she didn't forget about the business and knocked on the door.
"Dong dong dong!"
"Squeak!"
The door was opened, and the old lady appeared in front of everyone again, with a dead face, and said viciously: "I told you that you are not welcome here anymore, get out of here right now!"
"Grandma..." Feng Xiaoqin said with some fear, "It was me who knocked on the door." Grandma's face changed. She looked at Feng Xiaoqin, and a stiff smile slowly appeared on her dead face: "It's Xiaoqin."
Ah, why did you come back so late and go to the back mountain with your friends again? Didn’t I tell you not to run around casually?
?”
Feng Xiaoqin seemed a little afraid of her grandma, lowered her head and said, "Grandma, I didn't run very far."
Grandma said with a stiff face: "That's not allowed. Don't run out of the village again."
"Oh." Feng Xiaoqin nodded her little head and said somewhat innocently: "Grandma, these big brothers and sisters said they have no place to live, otherwise let's keep them in the village."
Grandma's face suddenly changed, she stared at Feng Xiaoqin closely, and then looked at Wu Zhengzhi, her eyes moved over everyone, and she was silent for a while and said: "Xiaoqin, we don't have such a big place.
They live."
"We can let them live in Brother Xu's house. Brother Xu's house is vacant now, right?"
Feng Xiaoqin said innocently. Grandma's face was ugly, but then she softened, looked at Wu Zhengzhi and others, and said slowly: "If you want to stay, then you can stay, but there is not much food in our village.
, you want to have dinner, want
Give me the spiritual stone."
When Zhu Huacai heard this, he immediately said: "You have to give spiritual stones to eat, why don't you go and grab them?"
Liu Ying'er glanced at Zhu Huacai, then took out some spiritual stones from her body and handed them to him: "Grandma, do you think these are enough?"
Grandma took it without looking at it carefully and said, "Xiaoqin, you take them, I will prepare the food."
"OK."
When Feng Xiaoqin saw her grandma agreeing, she happily took Ye Qiu and the others to a few bamboo buildings not far away.
"These bamboo buildings belong to Brother Xu, but Brother Xu hasn't been back for a long time. It shouldn't matter if you live here."
Feng Xiaoqin took Ye Qiu and the others into a relatively large bamboo building: "Brothers and sisters, please rest here first. My grandma will prepare meals soon."
Ye Qiu took a look at the situation in the bamboo house and found that there were a lot of herbs and tools. He couldn't help but speculate that the brother Xu mentioned by Feng Xiaoqin should have some medical skills.
However, no one else wanted to delve into the matter of Brother Xu, so no one asked.
Sure enough, just as Feng Xiaoqin said, the grandmother quickly brought everyone food.
Although it is just a simple meal, everyone is in the wild now, so I don’t ask for anything more.
However, Ye Qiu and his party were obviously a little different here, because the two reserve grains of pheasant and old hen had been turned into beggar's chicken and roast chicken by Ye Qiu, so Ye Qiu and his party were very happy to eat.
Liu Ying'er and the others ate a few mouthfuls of rice, and smelled the aroma of beggar's chicken and roast chicken. They immediately felt that the food was no longer fragrant. They stared at Ye Qiu, but they didn't have the nerve to ask Ye Qiu for chicken.
.
Zhou Daoyong muttered sourly: "My strength is not that great, but I am very good at making food."
Feng Xiaoqin also swallowed hard and stared eagerly at the chicken drumstick in Ye Qiu's hand.
Ye Qiu smiled slightly when he saw it, and gave the chicken leg to Feng Xiaoqin: "This is for you."
"Really?" Feng Xiaoqin blinked.
"Yes, as long as you answer a few questions from me, I'll give you this chicken leg."
"Okay then." Feng Xiaoqin wiped his saliva, "Brother, you can ask."
Ye Qiu did not ask in a hurry and gave the chicken drumstick to Feng Xiaoqin. After the little girl gnawed it with relish, he asked: "Is this Brother Xu you are talking about from your village?"
Feng Xiaoqin shook his head while eating: "No, Brother Xu is from outside. He has lived in our village for several years."
"Is he a doctor?"
"Yes, yes, there are many people in our village, and they go to him for medical treatment every day." Feng Xiaoqin said with a smile: "In the beginning, everyone didn't believe in Brother Xu's medical skills, and only one or two people went to him every day.
But later everyone saw that Brother Xu had good medical skills, so they all went to him to see a doctor. There were many people who went there every day. Later, everyone went to see Brother Xu every day, no matter if they had minor problems.
