Don't panic in a famine, I live in the mountains with my golden finger

Chapter 226: Need to practice again



Chapter 226: Need to practice again

Uncle Wang saw the two men sneaking around, and Gu Qinghan was talking so closely to Yuan girl, so he couldn't help but ask questions.

A gossipy look instantly appeared on his face.

"No way, Uncle Wang, what nonsense are you talking about." Xu Yuan quickly stood up, walked away from Gu Qinghan, picked up the cloth bag, picked up the bundled quilt and went out.

Gu Qinghan turned his back and quickly put the things that Xu Yuan stuffed into his arms. He stood up, nodded at Uncle Wang and smiled, "Uncle Wang, you saw it wrong." He helped Xu Yuan pick up the remaining things, and then followed Xu Yuan out the door.

Uncle Wang looked at the backs of the two people walking out together and nodded with satisfaction.

It seems that what Aunt Li said is right.

"Let's go, Lao Wang, what are you standing there in a daze for?" Uncle Liu

After the fire was extinguished, most of the people in the house had left and called out to Uncle Wang who was still standing there.

"Hahaha, here it comes."

Uncle Liu was puzzled: "What are you laughing at?"

"I found something interesting." Seeing that Uncle Liu seemed to be about to ask, Uncle Wang shook his head and said, "I won't tell you yet."

Uncle Liu: It’s boring.

"Let's go." Uncle Wang patted Uncle Liu on the shoulder, then walked out of the house with his hands behind his back.

When the ox cart left the village, it bumped into a group of people, and both sides stopped.

"Why did you stop suddenly?"

"Master, there are other people in this village, and they are about to leave the village. They must be villagers visiting relatives." After all, no one would run around on the road at this time, especially with women.

Lin Hao lifted the curtain and looked at the people parked on the other side. There were old and young people. Some of them had ordinary temperaments and should not be bad people.

"Ah Hui, go up and ask them where they are going. If they are going the same way, we can go together."

"Yes, sir."

"Miss, look, there are three particularly good-looking men over there." The two maids sitting in the carriage lifted the curtain as soon as the carriage stopped, wanting to see what was going on.

Unexpectedly, he was attracted by several young people standing in front of the carriage opposite him, and excitedly spoke to the woman who was sitting in the carriage with her eyes closed.

"Hmph, what kind of good-looking men can there be in this remote place? Cover yourself up quickly, the cold wind outside is blowing in and it's freezing us to death." The arrogant and proud voice reached the ears of the two maids, and they hurriedly pulled down the curtain.

"Yes, Miss is right. We are not very knowledgeable."

"I don't know what my mother is thinking. How long will it take to get there if we stay in such a small county town?"

Lotus said respectfully, "Miss, if we travel at night, we will arrive almost tomorrow."

"Why don't you leave then? Why are you stopping?"

"Maybe the master sometimes has things to talk to the people parked over there. I see Guard Hui has gone over there."

"I wonder where you guys are going. We are going to Lin'an County. Is that on your way?" Ah Hui got off his horse and nodded politely to everyone.

"I'm sorry, brother. We're not going this way." Uncle Wang refused.

"Okay, we are sorry for being so presumptuous. You guys go in first." Ah Hui was not surprised. After saying that, he got on his horse and left.

"Let's go. Since they let us pass first, let's go first. Those who can ride horses are either rich or noble." Village Chief Gu pulled the cow rope and walked in front.

"Master, they are not going our way, I let them go first."

"Well, that's fine, you go ahead."

Hsinchu Village

"Uncle Zhushan, the chickens in the chicken coop seem to be sick. They haven't eaten much of the food we fed them these past few days."

Xu Zhi asked Liu Zhushan who came to visit him.

"When did it start?" Liu Zhushan was sitting in the kitchen helping to chop firewood.

"It seemed like it started when Sister Qiu came to visit us." Grandma Ye and the others sat here for a while that day. In the afternoon, Liu Zhushan and Grandma Pan happened to come to visit her, so Liu Zhushan took Dahua to send them back.

"It happened the day before yesterday. Take me to see it." Liu Zhushan put down the machete in his hand and stood up.

"Guozi, Xiaoduo, the two of you can pile up the firewood."

"Oh, right away." Guozi and Xuanyu were practicing calligraphy with brushes on the table, making ink everywhere. This was what Xu Yuan reminded them to do before he went out, to find time to practice calligraphy every day.

The two children put down their brushes, picked up a piece of written paper and blew on it.

Many people took the written paper and walked to Liu Zhushan, "Uncle Zhushan, take a look, how is my writing?"

Liu Zhushan turned his head and saw the scribbles on it. His eyes went dark. They looked like words, but they were awkward and some of them were even smudged by ink.

To praise this as a good writing, you must be crazy.

Liu Zhushan decided to tell the truth and shook his head, "Not very good, I need to practice more."

"What about mine?"

Guozi excitedly held up the paper he had written.

Liu Zhushan frowned, "Yours won't work either."

"Ah? Then what kind of words will work?"

"It will only work when I can see clearly what you write. Take a break and pile up the firewood." Xu Zhi spoke, and then called Liu Zhushan to go to the chicken coop.

The two children looked at each other, sighed, then resigned themselves to their fate, put down the papers in their hands, and went to stack firewood.

"Oh, Xiaozhi, I didn't expect you had pheasants at home."

When Liu Zhushan followed Xu Zhi into the chicken coop, he was surprised to see several chickens with different patterns from ordinary domestic chickens.

"Yes, it was a pheasant that my sister caught. There was originally a big pheasant, but the chicken coop was not well maintained at the time, and I wasn't paying attention and it flew away."

"The pheasant has already grown into a big one. How could it be willing to be kept in captivity? Even if it is kept in captivity, it won't live long."

Xu Zhi looked at the wilted pheasants and couldn't help but worry: "Is this the reason for the sick pheasants?"

"That's not the case. It has been raised here since it was young, and there is a hen next to it. The pheasant's wildness will gradually be lost." Liu Zhushan squatted down, picked up a pheasant and took a look.

"No problem, it's probably because the weather is cold and they have no appetite. When I come over tomorrow, bring the herbs and cook them and feed them to the pigs."

"Okay, thank you Uncle Zhushan then."

When the two saw the kitchen again, Guozi and firewood had already been piled up. They did not practice calligraphy anymore, but started playing cards. You put down a card, I put down a card, and then one of them collected the cards that had been placed in front.

Seeing the two of them having so much fun, Liu Zhushan couldn't help but joked, "Why don't you continue practicing calligraphy?"

"Uncle Zhushan, we have finished our daily practice. Now it's time to play."

Manyu happily put away the cards on the table and said to Liu Zhushan.

"That's very good."

These two kids are quite self-disciplined. They set a set time for writing every day, and yet they can still write in such a good shape. They also share half of the paper. It's really rare to see such a great result.
