I am old in the Han Dynasty
Chapter 48
Originally Xie Lang wanted to persuade Xiao Qi to leave Brother Hou, ah!Stay away from monkeys and wolves.Seeing that the child didn't realize that they were animals or wild animals, and mistakenly thought they were his good friends like the little tiger, he couldn't help sighing.
The monkey who grabbed the peach and stuffed it into his mouth immediately looked at Xie Lang.
Xie Lang frowned, this monkey can't really understand human speech.
Wait, it's normal for the monkey to come in over the wall, it's normal to see the little tiger basking in the sun in the yard, and it's normal to chat with the little tiger, but the abnormal thing is that it can open the lock.
What does it mean?
Hou'er had been to the village before, and had seen people pick the locks.
The keyhole is not big, and I don't know it very well. A child as old as Xiaoqi can't even think of succeeding once.
Xie Zhongwu's house is east of Xie Bowen's house, very close to Xie Lang's house.There are so many people in front of his house, and if the monkeys stay outside the door for a long time, it is impossible for them not to know, and Feng Ying needs to call them.
That's true, it's normal for monkeys to look at people's faces.
"You and the little wolf can stay at my house." Xie Lang pointed to the little black wolf who was still buried in eating, "but don't hurt anyone." Pointing at him and Xiao Qi and the outside, "you can't hurt things at home either. " Pointing to the empty cattle pen, sheep pen, chicken coop and duck pen, "I have a lot of fruit here, which can let you eat from the beginning to the end of the year."
Worried that it didn't understand, Xie Lang turned around and went to the kitchen, opened the cabinet, put a dozen peaches in it, and went out with a handful of bananas.
"Wow, there are still fruits?" Xiaoqi exclaimed.
Xie Lang covered his mouth and looked around. There was no one there, so he breathed a sigh of relief, "Xiao Qi, why did I tell you?"
"I was wrong, third master, if you forget, let others know." The child lowered his head.
Xie Lang sighed, "Only this once. No one can say that, including the kids who play well with you."
Xiaoqi nodded repeatedly, he knew it.He was so happy to see the fruit he had never seen before.
Xie Lang broke off a banana, peeled it off, and handed it to the child.Just hand the remaining ten or so to the monkey.
The monkey looked at Xie Lang, it couldn't believe that this human being was so good, he gave peaches and others.
Xie Lang saw the defense in its eyes, and handed it to Xiao Qi, "Here you are, Brother Monkey."
"Give it all to Brother Monkey?" The child was reluctant, so much, "Will the third master not eat?"
Xie Lang: "I'm full on the mountain."
The child did not doubt that he was there, put the banana in front of the monkey, and stretched out his hand to touch the monkey's head, "Eat it."
Xie Lang's complexion changed suddenly, and his heart came to his throat.
The monkey remained motionless, allowing Xiaoqi to ravage its monkey brain.
Xie Lang let out a long breath and relaxed.
"Brother Monkey, these are given to you by my third master. My third master is the best. You can find my third master when you are hungry." The child glanced at Xie Lang, then turned to Monkey, "My third master cooks It's delicious. When killing the chicken, I will ask the third master to give you a chicken and chicken wings."
Xie Lang saw the child pause for a few moments, guessing that he thought of chicken legs, he was reluctant, "Xiao Qi, your monkey brother likes fruit."
"Huh? Don't you like meat?" Xiao Qi asked hurriedly.
How could Xie Lang know that he had never raised monkeys.I have only seen monkeys eating peaches on TV and in zoos.
"It's not monkeys, not everyone likes to eat meat. Monkeys like vegetarian food, we have to respect it. It's the same reason as if you don't want to eat anymore when you're full, and I won't force you." Xie Lang said.
Xiao Qi pursed her lips, "Okay." He looked at Hou'er again, "Brother Hou is so thin, he must eat fruit."
Xie Lang was not very far away from the monkey, and seeing some scars on the monkey's body also proved that he guessed right - the monkey brought a wolf cub, and couldn't beat the other monkeys, so it was so hungry and skinny.
The child believed that it was vegetarian, Xie Lang didn't explain anymore, "Look at them, I'll make a cot for them and put them in the kitchen."
"Not in the house?" the child asked.
The little tiger regards them as relatives, even if Xie Lang spanks the little tiger's butt, the little tiger will not bite him.The two newcomers, Xie Lang, don't feel at ease, "It won't fit in the house. I'm planning to make another cabinet for Brother Monkey, and put some things he likes to eat."
The old house was knocked down, except for the couch, all other furniture was split by Xie Lang and burned as firewood.Now Xie Lang remade the cabinets for quilts and clothes in the bedroom with ebony.
The room is not big at all, with two cabinets and a shoe rack, a tiger’s nest, a child’s desk, and a couch, there is only room for feet.
The child took a look into the room and agreed with Xie Lang's words, "Third Master is right."
"Don't let them go out." Xie Lang was worried.
The child nodded, "I know, Third Master."
If you go out, you will be arrested by the villagers.
Xie Lang took ten Wen and walked towards Xie Zhongwu's house.
When he came to him, Xie Lang asked, "Who wants to sell a chicken, give me one." After speaking, he waved the money in his hand.
"Mother!" Xie Guang immediately looked for Qin Hong.
Xie Lang had just arrived here and was disturbed by chickens every day so he couldn't sleep well, so he asked Qin Hong cryptically why he raised roosters instead of hens.
Qin Hong said at the time that of the two roosters, one was kept for the New Year to return to her natal home, and the other was kept for the New Year to be killed and eaten.
Xie Lang couldn't help asking, "Sister-in-law is going to sell the cock at home?"
"No." Qin Hong smiled wryly. Her son treated his Uncle Sanlang better than his own mother, "Brother Sanlang, take it if you want to eat it. Don't give me any money. One day Xiaoguang is greedy for meat, I'll go to the city to give it to you." He bought a catty of mutton."
Xie Guang hurriedly asked: "Really? Mother."
"A little mutton, your mother won't lie to you." Qin Hong said.
Xie Lang wanted to laugh, "Women still have to be rich. Listen, your tone of voice is completely different from a month ago. Brother Bowen probably won't know each other when he comes back."
"You child, I gave you the chicken out of good intentions, not to let you bury me." Qin Hong pretended to be angry.
Xie Lang shook his head, "I don't want your chicken. Who else has it? Kill it and give it to my ancestors."
As soon as the word "ancestor" came out, everyone couldn't help laughing.
Feng Ying, who was waiting for the roasted yuba, couldn't help asking, "Do you really want to raise it?"
Xie Lang sighed heavily, and told the truth, "I don't want to keep them, I'm worried they will hurt Xiaoqi. But that monkey is too smart, it's impossible to send it away. Kill it, Qian Lizheng disagrees, and I'm also worried It opened its throat and shouted the other monkeys down the mountain, harming our things."
Although the wild boars are big and bulky, so many came down that time, they were worried, but not afraid.However, everyone couldn't help but shudder when they thought that those wild boars were replaced by clever monkeys.
"I have one at home, I'll catch one for you."
Xie Lang followed the sound and saw a short, thin and dark woman in her early thirties.
Xie Lang met her, Xie Jiankang's neighbor, "It's just the money, you can catch it."
"No need." The woman shook her head.
Xie Lang handed it to Xie Guang, "I want it. Brothers have to settle their accounts clearly. For a few money, it's not worth it to make them die forever."
"My Uncle Sanlang is richer than you." Xie Guang handed her the money, and ordered her children, "Go and catch chickens for your mother."
The ten-year-old child didn't move, "My oily skin hasn't been baked yet."
"With Li Chang here, no one dares to get in front of your house." Xie Guang said.
The child looked at Xie Lang subconsciously, Xie Lang smiled, as if saying, yes.
"I'll catch the big one for you, Grandpa Sanlang." After the child finished speaking, he went after his mother.
Xie Lang nodded at Xie Guangnu, "Look!"
Xie Guang nodded repeatedly.
Xie Lang walked up to Qin Hong and asked, "Vegetarian chicken, dried tofu, and this," pointing to the drying room, "Which one sells better?"
"This is the best." Qin Hong said, "This stuff doesn't get damp or moldy, and it can be stored for a year or so. Dried tofu can be kept for a few days longer, and you have to eat vegetarian chicken if you buy it. Except for wine shops, rich people buy it."
Xie Lang: "Are you still walking around?"
Arriving in the city in the morning, Qin Hong went directly to the wine shop to deliver things.In the afternoon, I went to a small restaurant, whoever wanted to sell more, and whoever took her car to the city, carrying a shoulder pole and walking around the streets shouting and selling.
Xie Lang was surprised to hear her explain, "When did it happen?"
"Two days before the rain." Qin Hong said, "If you don't let me help them sell, just give me a few pennies for the car. I think it's good. Once I went to the city to unload things in the afternoon and came back again."
Xie Lang didn't expect so many things to happen when he stayed in the house for a few days, "Yes, yes." Seeing Xiaoqi's second aunt chatting with someone not far away, "Qian Xiaohua, come here."
Xiaoqi's second aunt blurted out: "Who calls my old lady Qian Xiaohua? How many times have I said that my name is Qian Hehua! Qian Hehua!"
"You should show some face. The lotus flower is your daughter's name." Xie Lang said loudly, "Come here!"
Xiaoqi's second aunt saw clearly now that it was Xie Lang.Not daring to yell anymore, Diandian ran over and forced a smile, "Uncle Sanlang, what's the matter?"
"How is the matter I told you going?" Xie Lang asked.
Qian Xiaohua immediately said, "The road over my mother's side is bad, and it will dry out in two days, so I'll drive there to have a look and buy some beans."
"When will your sister go?" Xie Lang asked, "Your father's Sishanhuangli gave Liuguan money, but my Xiao Qi didn't ask for it, and neither did your sister. Now that your two lives are better, let's go this time. Can you give me more?"
Of course not!
Her money didn't come from the wind.
Seeing her pained face, Qin Hong smiled and said, "If you want her to pay, you are killing her."
"Your brother-in-law is busy these few days helping my eldest brother find a wife." Xie Lang said, "This matter is over, and I won't blame you if it doesn't work out on your side."
Qian Xiaohua hurriedly asked, "Did you find it?"
"I don't know. That's why I asked you when to go. It's good to help my elder brother pick a heart. He has a strong temper. It's best to eat my elder brother to death. Yao Lanhua knelt down and begged him, but he didn't dare to take a second look." .” Xie Lang said.
Qian Xiaohua rolled her eyes again and again, "I'll go to my sister-in-law to discuss it." After finishing speaking, she ran home.
Seeing that there seemed to be a jackal chasing her, Qin Hong couldn't help laughing, "This woman definitely doesn't want to find a man for Yao Lanhua."
"She is afraid that Yao Lanhua will harm her mother." Xie Lang said, "I don't want Yao Lanhua to marry her family."
Qin Hong: "No wonder. Hey, I brought you the chicken."
Xie Lang looked at the pair of mother and child who were getting closer, "I won't come out today. After taking good care of those ancestors, I have to make a nest for them, so as not to squeeze them with the cattle and sheep, which are frightened. "
"Uncle Sanlang, let me tell you guys, don't go to you if you have nothing to do." Xie Guang said immediately after hearing this.
Xie Lang smiled, took the chicken and went home to kill it.
After tidying up the chicken and putting it in an earthen pot, Xie Lang's consciousness sneaked into the picture of Jiangshan and found a piece of golden nanmu that he had broken in his previous life when he was idle.Remove all the unusable ones, cut the usable ones into the size he needs with his consciousness, and then go to the main room to release the good wood pieces.Then I went to the stove and released some of the unusable ones to keep on fire.
Xie Lang lit the fire and stewed the chicken.
A rooster that is more than three years old has to be stewed for a long time, so Xie Lang went to the main room to get a few pieces of golden nanmu, and made two wooden boxes in the stove while watching the fire.
After the wooden box is finished, the smell of chicken also floats in front of the children.
The child led his three friends in, "Master, is the meat ready?"
"We have to wait a little longer. The tiger and the little wolf are still young, so the bones need to be stewed." Xie Lang said.
Seeing him putting wheat straw into two wooden boxes, the child asked curiously, "What are you doing in there?"
Xie Lang pointed to the big wooden box and looked at the monkey, "This is yours." Pointing to the little one, he pointed to the little wolf again, "This is its. Xiaoqi, they may not understand, you take the little wolf put in."
The child turned around and picked up the wolf cub, but the monkey did not move at all.The child put the little wolf in a small box, and the monkey took a step forward, stopping to stare at Xie Lang, as if Xie Lang dared to reach out to grab it, and it seemed to give Xie Lang a paw.
Xie Lang wanted to roll his eyes, this monkey is really smart, "Xiaoqi, let me see if there are any eggs in the hen's nest, and let you Brother Monkey go in and try its nest."
"Okay, Third Master." The child responded and waved to Brother Monkey, "Come on."
The little tiger ran over.
The child reached out and hugged it, "This is not yours, you can't live in it, yours is in our house."
The monkey can spread its limbs and turn over when lying down, and immediately sits up and chats with the little tiger.
Xie Lang stood at the door of the sheep pen diagonally opposite the kitchen, and when he heard the monkey's cry, he sneered, "Xiaoqi, do you like it, Brother Monkey?"
"I don't know G." The child looked at the monkey, "Do you like this?" He patted the wooden box.
The monkey also learned how to pat the wooden box like a child.The child immediately said, "Brother Monkey said he likes it."
Xie Lang shook his head, sighed, and got into the chicken coop to pick up eggs.
Then put the eggs in the cabinet.
Xie Lang closed the cabinet, turned around and was startled by the monkey's bright eyes, "What's wrong?"
Xiaoqi had a black wolf in his left hand and a white tiger in his right. He was having fun playing, when he heard this, he raised his head and asked in a daze, "What?"
Xie Lang lowered his head to check, there was nothing dangerous on him, turned his head to look again, inadvertently glanced at the peaches in the cabinet, and was so happy, "Are you still full?" Seeing in disbelief, he ate four peaches and more than a dozen monkey with a banana.
It's not actually a monkey, it's an ape-man Tarzan.
"Brother Monkey isn't full?" The child opened his mouth wide, looked at the monkey, looked at Xie Lang, and then turned to the monkey, "Brother Monkey must have not eaten for many days, many days."
Then it dies.
Xie Lang really wanted to say this.But the child heard Yizhun and cried for him.
"Here it is." Xie Lang sighed, took out two May peaches and handed them to the child.
Xiao Qi handed it over to Hou'er, "Eat it."
The monkey took one in each hand, took a bite and looked at Xie Lang, lest Xie Lang go back on his word and take it back.
Seeing this, Xie Lang was speechless and couldn't help cursing, fortunately he had a map of the world.Otherwise, with the monkey's way of eating, even Wei Qing would be eaten up.
"Brother Monkey must be very hungry."
The child opened his mouth suddenly, Xie Lang regained his consciousness and found that one third of a peach had been eaten, "Xiaoqi, watch the fire and don't drop it, I'll make you a special fruit box for Brother Monkey. Go to the mountains tomorrow and give it Find a bag and fill its cabinets to the brim."
"Okay." The child waved his hand, then got up and stood in front of the stove.
Xie Lang had just knocked and knocked to make two boxes, he was too lazy to start anymore, so he went to find a dead elm in the big forest in his map of mountains and rivers, took two feet high, hollowed out the top, and took it to the kitchen.
Xiao Qi was very surprised, "A round cabinet?"
"No, it's a box." Xie Lang pointed to the top, "I'll put your monkey's fruit in it tomorrow. If you want to eat it, you can only take it with your monkey's consent."
The child shook his head, and said obediently, "I don't eat brother monkey's."
"You can eat it or not. But remember what I say." Xie Lang said.
The child nodded, "I remember." Looking at the smoking clay pot, "Is it ready to eat? Third Master." After speaking, he swallowed.
"Yes." Xie Lang took down the clay pot, put two rotten chicken wing tips into the bowls of Xiaolang and Huzi, then tore off a chicken foot and handed it to Xiao Qi, "Ask your brother Monkey if you want to eat it. This time the chicken is very fragrant, I think it wants to eat."
The child thought it was for him, and almost cried to show it to Xie Lang, but when he heard it was Brother Monkey, he immediately handed it over, "Here."
The monkey reached out to catch it.
The child opened his eyes wide in shock, "Monkeys also like to eat meat?"
"Probably very hungry." Xie Lang really had never seen a monkey eat meat, and when the monkey took it, he stuffed it into his mouth, smashed it, swallowed it, and couldn't believe it.But he had to maintain the majesty of an elder, so he pretended to be calm and said, "I will give you another chicken wing, Brother Monkey, you agree."
If you don’t eat the child’s big chicken drumstick, the child will just stuff it to the monkey regardless of whether he agrees or not.
After eating a chicken wing, the monkey stopped staring at Xie Lang's cabinet.
Xie Lang can be considered relieved.
Besides the peaches in the cabinet, there is also the white noodles he worked so hard to sieve. I'm really worried that the monkey will be so hungry at night that he won't even let his noodles go, "Xiaoqi, have some soup."
"Okay." The child took a sip of the soup and took two big bites of the chicken.
Xie Lang chuckled, pretending not to see, "I'll go buy another chicken in two days."
The child looked up at Xie Lang, still buying it?
"You monkey brother and little wolf are too thin, you have to eat some good tonic, otherwise you will get sick." Xie Lang said.
The ancients could not afford to get sick, even if they were rich.Because there are so many quack doctors, it is difficult to find five decent doctors in Chang'an City.
Xiao Qi didn't know this, but he knew it was hard to be sick, so he agreed very simply this time, "Buy it. Third Master, I will buy another one in a few days."
"I've made a note. Eat it quickly, it's going to be cold." Xie Lang looked at his chicken drumstick and said.
The child nodded and stuffed the chicken leg into his mouth.
After eating and drinking enough, Xie Lang poured some warm water into the tiger and wolf bowls, washed the children clean, and asked the children to go play with his friends.
Xie Lang turned out the red toon wood that was pressed under the firewood next to the cattle pen to dry in the sun, and was going to make a door in a few days.
Both the front door of his house and the door of his room were made a little longer than the old ones.
Xie Lang originally planned to do it in autumn, but now that the spring on the mountain is filled with bamboo, he definitely won't be free in autumn.I won't be free in a few days, so I have to make something to grow wheat, so I can only find time to do it now.
"Third Master!"
Xie Lang raised his head, saw a row of green bamboos, and hurried to the west, "What's the matter?" Seeing Xiao Qi standing at the door, "No more playing?"
"Uncle Ma wants to see Brother Monkey." The child said loudly.
Xie Lang subconsciously turned around, and the monkey came out of the house.
A trace of surprise flashed in Xie Lang's eyes, this monkey could not have been raised by nature, it jumped out from the cracks in the rocks.
"Your monkey brother is still not familiar with our family, you don't like meeting people, let Xiaoma come in a few days." Xie Lang nonsense.
Xiao Qi turned her head and said to the west, "My third master said it a few days ago. Uncle Ma, let's go play."
"Don't run too far." Xie Lang said hastily.
"We won't run far, third uncle."
After finishing the words, Xie Dalang's son Xie Xiaoma led his younger siblings and his nephew Xiao Qi to run eastward.
Xie Lang couldn't help laughing, Yao Lan Huasheng's son was so timid, he didn't dare to ask him if he wanted to see a monkey.I really don't know who this kid looks like.
Like Xie Dalang, this is what Yao Guizhi said.
Yao Guizhi's original words, not seeing that the two children look like Xie Dalang, but her son Xiaoma is a descendant of Xie's family, she also let Yao Lanhua take away.
Thinking of this, Xie Lang carried the red toon wood to the door of the main room and spread it out, then went to the front to look for Yao Guizhi.
People in the village without donkeys made bean curd sticks, so Qin Hong, her sister-in-law, and Xiao Qi's two aunts couldn't make enough vegetarian chicken and tofu to sell in the wine shop.But vegetarian chicken and dried tofu are expensive, so Yao Guizhi and her daughter make vegetarian chicken and dried tofu, and Feng Ying makes bean curd sticks, in case the wine shop does not have them in the car one day.
Xie Lang went to Yao Guizhi's house, Yao Guizhi was wrapping tofu skin with cloth, Xie Lang washed his hands and helped her wrap a piece.
"I don't need you, I'm almost done." Yao Guizhi kept waving his hands to tell him to stay away.
Xie Lang sat down opposite her, "Brother's wife has a clue."
Yao Guizhi stopped, realizing what he said, "When? Did you find him?"
"Don't worry, don't worry, listen to me." Xie Lang said, "I asked Xiao Qi's uncle to look for it. From his tone, there are suitable ones in their village. Xiao Qi's two aunts turned around for money, and they definitely wouldn't do it for the sake of money." Go to Chun'e's house and stop for a day.
"I guess they might come back from the city tomorrow and go to Chun'e's house, come back in the afternoon, and then take their things to Chang'an. You go to her house at noon tomorrow and ask."
Yao Guizhi couldn't believe it, "You asked them to ask for us?"
"They still expect me to make a lot of money, they won't, and they don't dare to mess around." Xie Lang said.
Yao Guizhi suddenly remembered that the villagers told her that Xie Lang put a lot of bamboo in the spring water on the mountain, and it looked like he was going to do something big, "Then I will ask them tomorrow when I go to the city with them."
Xie Lang said that he heard, and asked, "Uncle has been away for a month?"
"It's been a month since he left. But the work for the government is counted from the day he started working. I don't know when it started." Yao Guizhi said.
Xie Lang: "It didn't rain when he left, so he must have been working somewhere. I guess he should be back in the next two days. By the way, Yao Lanhua also knows when elder brother left. You tell elder sister to go to the entrance of the village when she is free. Watch, Yao Lanhua don't come this way."
"I see." Yao Guizhi said, "That monkey and wolf didn't bite you, did they?"
Xie Lang shook his head, and when he saw that the tofu skin had bottomed out, he stood up, "Elder Brother, hurry up. Uncle is saying that Yao Lanhua just left, Elder Brother is sad, or something else, and he will find a wife for Elder Brother in a few days." , don’t listen to uncle.”
Xie Jianye was not at home. Yao Guizhi went to the city every three days and dealt with the people in the city. He was well-informed and had money in his hands. His waist was stiff and he said directly, "I will tell your uncle when the matter is settled."
Xie Lang couldn't help laughing, "Then you go and cook vegetarian chicken. I'll go home and have a look, don't tear down the house."
"Go." Yao Guizhi carried the basin and went to the kitchen.
When Xie Lang got home, Xiao Qi was still playing at Xie Zhongwu's door, so he went directly to the kitchen, and in front of the monkey, he conjured peaches one after another, and when the golden monkey looked straight at him, he stuffed a handful of bananas into the box.Then he stuffed a few more plums into it, the wooden box was full, Xie Lang spread out the firewood which was wet by the rain to dry.
In the evening, when Xiao Qi came back, Xie Lang cooked some noodles with chicken soup, and the two of them ate their fill in the dark, Xie Lang led Xiao Qi to wash up, carried the little tiger, put the door of the room on top of a cabinet, and went to sleep.
In a daze, Xie Lang felt someone knocking on the door, sat up suddenly, and heard the door knocking again.Xie Lang realized that he heard correctly, grabbed the stick on the shoe rack and asked, "Who?"
There was a chirping sound.
Xie Lang's heart trembled, what the hell?
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a lump of white beside the shoe rack, and Xie Lang remembered that a monkey comparable to a human came to his house yesterday. "What's the matter?" When he opened the door, he saw the monkey with one hand frozen mid-air.
"What's wrong?" Xie Lang asked again.
The monkey turned around and left.
Xie Lang followed up with a wooden stick, saw something in the washbasin, saw it clearly under the moonlight, and said in surprise, "You caught it?!"
The monkey who grabbed the peach and stuffed it into his mouth immediately looked at Xie Lang.
Xie Lang frowned, this monkey can't really understand human speech.
Wait, it's normal for the monkey to come in over the wall, it's normal to see the little tiger basking in the sun in the yard, and it's normal to chat with the little tiger, but the abnormal thing is that it can open the lock.
What does it mean?
Hou'er had been to the village before, and had seen people pick the locks.
The keyhole is not big, and I don't know it very well. A child as old as Xiaoqi can't even think of succeeding once.
Xie Zhongwu's house is east of Xie Bowen's house, very close to Xie Lang's house.There are so many people in front of his house, and if the monkeys stay outside the door for a long time, it is impossible for them not to know, and Feng Ying needs to call them.
That's true, it's normal for monkeys to look at people's faces.
"You and the little wolf can stay at my house." Xie Lang pointed to the little black wolf who was still buried in eating, "but don't hurt anyone." Pointing at him and Xiao Qi and the outside, "you can't hurt things at home either. " Pointing to the empty cattle pen, sheep pen, chicken coop and duck pen, "I have a lot of fruit here, which can let you eat from the beginning to the end of the year."
Worried that it didn't understand, Xie Lang turned around and went to the kitchen, opened the cabinet, put a dozen peaches in it, and went out with a handful of bananas.
"Wow, there are still fruits?" Xiaoqi exclaimed.
Xie Lang covered his mouth and looked around. There was no one there, so he breathed a sigh of relief, "Xiao Qi, why did I tell you?"
"I was wrong, third master, if you forget, let others know." The child lowered his head.
Xie Lang sighed, "Only this once. No one can say that, including the kids who play well with you."
Xiaoqi nodded repeatedly, he knew it.He was so happy to see the fruit he had never seen before.
Xie Lang broke off a banana, peeled it off, and handed it to the child.Just hand the remaining ten or so to the monkey.
The monkey looked at Xie Lang, it couldn't believe that this human being was so good, he gave peaches and others.
Xie Lang saw the defense in its eyes, and handed it to Xiao Qi, "Here you are, Brother Monkey."
"Give it all to Brother Monkey?" The child was reluctant, so much, "Will the third master not eat?"
Xie Lang: "I'm full on the mountain."
The child did not doubt that he was there, put the banana in front of the monkey, and stretched out his hand to touch the monkey's head, "Eat it."
Xie Lang's complexion changed suddenly, and his heart came to his throat.
The monkey remained motionless, allowing Xiaoqi to ravage its monkey brain.
Xie Lang let out a long breath and relaxed.
"Brother Monkey, these are given to you by my third master. My third master is the best. You can find my third master when you are hungry." The child glanced at Xie Lang, then turned to Monkey, "My third master cooks It's delicious. When killing the chicken, I will ask the third master to give you a chicken and chicken wings."
Xie Lang saw the child pause for a few moments, guessing that he thought of chicken legs, he was reluctant, "Xiao Qi, your monkey brother likes fruit."
"Huh? Don't you like meat?" Xiao Qi asked hurriedly.
How could Xie Lang know that he had never raised monkeys.I have only seen monkeys eating peaches on TV and in zoos.
"It's not monkeys, not everyone likes to eat meat. Monkeys like vegetarian food, we have to respect it. It's the same reason as if you don't want to eat anymore when you're full, and I won't force you." Xie Lang said.
Xiao Qi pursed her lips, "Okay." He looked at Hou'er again, "Brother Hou is so thin, he must eat fruit."
Xie Lang was not very far away from the monkey, and seeing some scars on the monkey's body also proved that he guessed right - the monkey brought a wolf cub, and couldn't beat the other monkeys, so it was so hungry and skinny.
The child believed that it was vegetarian, Xie Lang didn't explain anymore, "Look at them, I'll make a cot for them and put them in the kitchen."
"Not in the house?" the child asked.
The little tiger regards them as relatives, even if Xie Lang spanks the little tiger's butt, the little tiger will not bite him.The two newcomers, Xie Lang, don't feel at ease, "It won't fit in the house. I'm planning to make another cabinet for Brother Monkey, and put some things he likes to eat."
The old house was knocked down, except for the couch, all other furniture was split by Xie Lang and burned as firewood.Now Xie Lang remade the cabinets for quilts and clothes in the bedroom with ebony.
The room is not big at all, with two cabinets and a shoe rack, a tiger’s nest, a child’s desk, and a couch, there is only room for feet.
The child took a look into the room and agreed with Xie Lang's words, "Third Master is right."
"Don't let them go out." Xie Lang was worried.
The child nodded, "I know, Third Master."
If you go out, you will be arrested by the villagers.
Xie Lang took ten Wen and walked towards Xie Zhongwu's house.
When he came to him, Xie Lang asked, "Who wants to sell a chicken, give me one." After speaking, he waved the money in his hand.
"Mother!" Xie Guang immediately looked for Qin Hong.
Xie Lang had just arrived here and was disturbed by chickens every day so he couldn't sleep well, so he asked Qin Hong cryptically why he raised roosters instead of hens.
Qin Hong said at the time that of the two roosters, one was kept for the New Year to return to her natal home, and the other was kept for the New Year to be killed and eaten.
Xie Lang couldn't help asking, "Sister-in-law is going to sell the cock at home?"
"No." Qin Hong smiled wryly. Her son treated his Uncle Sanlang better than his own mother, "Brother Sanlang, take it if you want to eat it. Don't give me any money. One day Xiaoguang is greedy for meat, I'll go to the city to give it to you." He bought a catty of mutton."
Xie Guang hurriedly asked: "Really? Mother."
"A little mutton, your mother won't lie to you." Qin Hong said.
Xie Lang wanted to laugh, "Women still have to be rich. Listen, your tone of voice is completely different from a month ago. Brother Bowen probably won't know each other when he comes back."
"You child, I gave you the chicken out of good intentions, not to let you bury me." Qin Hong pretended to be angry.
Xie Lang shook his head, "I don't want your chicken. Who else has it? Kill it and give it to my ancestors."
As soon as the word "ancestor" came out, everyone couldn't help laughing.
Feng Ying, who was waiting for the roasted yuba, couldn't help asking, "Do you really want to raise it?"
Xie Lang sighed heavily, and told the truth, "I don't want to keep them, I'm worried they will hurt Xiaoqi. But that monkey is too smart, it's impossible to send it away. Kill it, Qian Lizheng disagrees, and I'm also worried It opened its throat and shouted the other monkeys down the mountain, harming our things."
Although the wild boars are big and bulky, so many came down that time, they were worried, but not afraid.However, everyone couldn't help but shudder when they thought that those wild boars were replaced by clever monkeys.
"I have one at home, I'll catch one for you."
Xie Lang followed the sound and saw a short, thin and dark woman in her early thirties.
Xie Lang met her, Xie Jiankang's neighbor, "It's just the money, you can catch it."
"No need." The woman shook her head.
Xie Lang handed it to Xie Guang, "I want it. Brothers have to settle their accounts clearly. For a few money, it's not worth it to make them die forever."
"My Uncle Sanlang is richer than you." Xie Guang handed her the money, and ordered her children, "Go and catch chickens for your mother."
The ten-year-old child didn't move, "My oily skin hasn't been baked yet."
"With Li Chang here, no one dares to get in front of your house." Xie Guang said.
The child looked at Xie Lang subconsciously, Xie Lang smiled, as if saying, yes.
"I'll catch the big one for you, Grandpa Sanlang." After the child finished speaking, he went after his mother.
Xie Lang nodded at Xie Guangnu, "Look!"
Xie Guang nodded repeatedly.
Xie Lang walked up to Qin Hong and asked, "Vegetarian chicken, dried tofu, and this," pointing to the drying room, "Which one sells better?"
"This is the best." Qin Hong said, "This stuff doesn't get damp or moldy, and it can be stored for a year or so. Dried tofu can be kept for a few days longer, and you have to eat vegetarian chicken if you buy it. Except for wine shops, rich people buy it."
Xie Lang: "Are you still walking around?"
Arriving in the city in the morning, Qin Hong went directly to the wine shop to deliver things.In the afternoon, I went to a small restaurant, whoever wanted to sell more, and whoever took her car to the city, carrying a shoulder pole and walking around the streets shouting and selling.
Xie Lang was surprised to hear her explain, "When did it happen?"
"Two days before the rain." Qin Hong said, "If you don't let me help them sell, just give me a few pennies for the car. I think it's good. Once I went to the city to unload things in the afternoon and came back again."
Xie Lang didn't expect so many things to happen when he stayed in the house for a few days, "Yes, yes." Seeing Xiaoqi's second aunt chatting with someone not far away, "Qian Xiaohua, come here."
Xiaoqi's second aunt blurted out: "Who calls my old lady Qian Xiaohua? How many times have I said that my name is Qian Hehua! Qian Hehua!"
"You should show some face. The lotus flower is your daughter's name." Xie Lang said loudly, "Come here!"
Xiaoqi's second aunt saw clearly now that it was Xie Lang.Not daring to yell anymore, Diandian ran over and forced a smile, "Uncle Sanlang, what's the matter?"
"How is the matter I told you going?" Xie Lang asked.
Qian Xiaohua immediately said, "The road over my mother's side is bad, and it will dry out in two days, so I'll drive there to have a look and buy some beans."
"When will your sister go?" Xie Lang asked, "Your father's Sishanhuangli gave Liuguan money, but my Xiao Qi didn't ask for it, and neither did your sister. Now that your two lives are better, let's go this time. Can you give me more?"
Of course not!
Her money didn't come from the wind.
Seeing her pained face, Qin Hong smiled and said, "If you want her to pay, you are killing her."
"Your brother-in-law is busy these few days helping my eldest brother find a wife." Xie Lang said, "This matter is over, and I won't blame you if it doesn't work out on your side."
Qian Xiaohua hurriedly asked, "Did you find it?"
"I don't know. That's why I asked you when to go. It's good to help my elder brother pick a heart. He has a strong temper. It's best to eat my elder brother to death. Yao Lanhua knelt down and begged him, but he didn't dare to take a second look." .” Xie Lang said.
Qian Xiaohua rolled her eyes again and again, "I'll go to my sister-in-law to discuss it." After finishing speaking, she ran home.
Seeing that there seemed to be a jackal chasing her, Qin Hong couldn't help laughing, "This woman definitely doesn't want to find a man for Yao Lanhua."
"She is afraid that Yao Lanhua will harm her mother." Xie Lang said, "I don't want Yao Lanhua to marry her family."
Qin Hong: "No wonder. Hey, I brought you the chicken."
Xie Lang looked at the pair of mother and child who were getting closer, "I won't come out today. After taking good care of those ancestors, I have to make a nest for them, so as not to squeeze them with the cattle and sheep, which are frightened. "
"Uncle Sanlang, let me tell you guys, don't go to you if you have nothing to do." Xie Guang said immediately after hearing this.
Xie Lang smiled, took the chicken and went home to kill it.
After tidying up the chicken and putting it in an earthen pot, Xie Lang's consciousness sneaked into the picture of Jiangshan and found a piece of golden nanmu that he had broken in his previous life when he was idle.Remove all the unusable ones, cut the usable ones into the size he needs with his consciousness, and then go to the main room to release the good wood pieces.Then I went to the stove and released some of the unusable ones to keep on fire.
Xie Lang lit the fire and stewed the chicken.
A rooster that is more than three years old has to be stewed for a long time, so Xie Lang went to the main room to get a few pieces of golden nanmu, and made two wooden boxes in the stove while watching the fire.
After the wooden box is finished, the smell of chicken also floats in front of the children.
The child led his three friends in, "Master, is the meat ready?"
"We have to wait a little longer. The tiger and the little wolf are still young, so the bones need to be stewed." Xie Lang said.
Seeing him putting wheat straw into two wooden boxes, the child asked curiously, "What are you doing in there?"
Xie Lang pointed to the big wooden box and looked at the monkey, "This is yours." Pointing to the little one, he pointed to the little wolf again, "This is its. Xiaoqi, they may not understand, you take the little wolf put in."
The child turned around and picked up the wolf cub, but the monkey did not move at all.The child put the little wolf in a small box, and the monkey took a step forward, stopping to stare at Xie Lang, as if Xie Lang dared to reach out to grab it, and it seemed to give Xie Lang a paw.
Xie Lang wanted to roll his eyes, this monkey is really smart, "Xiaoqi, let me see if there are any eggs in the hen's nest, and let you Brother Monkey go in and try its nest."
"Okay, Third Master." The child responded and waved to Brother Monkey, "Come on."
The little tiger ran over.
The child reached out and hugged it, "This is not yours, you can't live in it, yours is in our house."
The monkey can spread its limbs and turn over when lying down, and immediately sits up and chats with the little tiger.
Xie Lang stood at the door of the sheep pen diagonally opposite the kitchen, and when he heard the monkey's cry, he sneered, "Xiaoqi, do you like it, Brother Monkey?"
"I don't know G." The child looked at the monkey, "Do you like this?" He patted the wooden box.
The monkey also learned how to pat the wooden box like a child.The child immediately said, "Brother Monkey said he likes it."
Xie Lang shook his head, sighed, and got into the chicken coop to pick up eggs.
Then put the eggs in the cabinet.
Xie Lang closed the cabinet, turned around and was startled by the monkey's bright eyes, "What's wrong?"
Xiaoqi had a black wolf in his left hand and a white tiger in his right. He was having fun playing, when he heard this, he raised his head and asked in a daze, "What?"
Xie Lang lowered his head to check, there was nothing dangerous on him, turned his head to look again, inadvertently glanced at the peaches in the cabinet, and was so happy, "Are you still full?" Seeing in disbelief, he ate four peaches and more than a dozen monkey with a banana.
It's not actually a monkey, it's an ape-man Tarzan.
"Brother Monkey isn't full?" The child opened his mouth wide, looked at the monkey, looked at Xie Lang, and then turned to the monkey, "Brother Monkey must have not eaten for many days, many days."
Then it dies.
Xie Lang really wanted to say this.But the child heard Yizhun and cried for him.
"Here it is." Xie Lang sighed, took out two May peaches and handed them to the child.
Xiao Qi handed it over to Hou'er, "Eat it."
The monkey took one in each hand, took a bite and looked at Xie Lang, lest Xie Lang go back on his word and take it back.
Seeing this, Xie Lang was speechless and couldn't help cursing, fortunately he had a map of the world.Otherwise, with the monkey's way of eating, even Wei Qing would be eaten up.
"Brother Monkey must be very hungry."
The child opened his mouth suddenly, Xie Lang regained his consciousness and found that one third of a peach had been eaten, "Xiaoqi, watch the fire and don't drop it, I'll make you a special fruit box for Brother Monkey. Go to the mountains tomorrow and give it Find a bag and fill its cabinets to the brim."
"Okay." The child waved his hand, then got up and stood in front of the stove.
Xie Lang had just knocked and knocked to make two boxes, he was too lazy to start anymore, so he went to find a dead elm in the big forest in his map of mountains and rivers, took two feet high, hollowed out the top, and took it to the kitchen.
Xiao Qi was very surprised, "A round cabinet?"
"No, it's a box." Xie Lang pointed to the top, "I'll put your monkey's fruit in it tomorrow. If you want to eat it, you can only take it with your monkey's consent."
The child shook his head, and said obediently, "I don't eat brother monkey's."
"You can eat it or not. But remember what I say." Xie Lang said.
The child nodded, "I remember." Looking at the smoking clay pot, "Is it ready to eat? Third Master." After speaking, he swallowed.
"Yes." Xie Lang took down the clay pot, put two rotten chicken wing tips into the bowls of Xiaolang and Huzi, then tore off a chicken foot and handed it to Xiao Qi, "Ask your brother Monkey if you want to eat it. This time the chicken is very fragrant, I think it wants to eat."
The child thought it was for him, and almost cried to show it to Xie Lang, but when he heard it was Brother Monkey, he immediately handed it over, "Here."
The monkey reached out to catch it.
The child opened his eyes wide in shock, "Monkeys also like to eat meat?"
"Probably very hungry." Xie Lang really had never seen a monkey eat meat, and when the monkey took it, he stuffed it into his mouth, smashed it, swallowed it, and couldn't believe it.But he had to maintain the majesty of an elder, so he pretended to be calm and said, "I will give you another chicken wing, Brother Monkey, you agree."
If you don’t eat the child’s big chicken drumstick, the child will just stuff it to the monkey regardless of whether he agrees or not.
After eating a chicken wing, the monkey stopped staring at Xie Lang's cabinet.
Xie Lang can be considered relieved.
Besides the peaches in the cabinet, there is also the white noodles he worked so hard to sieve. I'm really worried that the monkey will be so hungry at night that he won't even let his noodles go, "Xiaoqi, have some soup."
"Okay." The child took a sip of the soup and took two big bites of the chicken.
Xie Lang chuckled, pretending not to see, "I'll go buy another chicken in two days."
The child looked up at Xie Lang, still buying it?
"You monkey brother and little wolf are too thin, you have to eat some good tonic, otherwise you will get sick." Xie Lang said.
The ancients could not afford to get sick, even if they were rich.Because there are so many quack doctors, it is difficult to find five decent doctors in Chang'an City.
Xiao Qi didn't know this, but he knew it was hard to be sick, so he agreed very simply this time, "Buy it. Third Master, I will buy another one in a few days."
"I've made a note. Eat it quickly, it's going to be cold." Xie Lang looked at his chicken drumstick and said.
The child nodded and stuffed the chicken leg into his mouth.
After eating and drinking enough, Xie Lang poured some warm water into the tiger and wolf bowls, washed the children clean, and asked the children to go play with his friends.
Xie Lang turned out the red toon wood that was pressed under the firewood next to the cattle pen to dry in the sun, and was going to make a door in a few days.
Both the front door of his house and the door of his room were made a little longer than the old ones.
Xie Lang originally planned to do it in autumn, but now that the spring on the mountain is filled with bamboo, he definitely won't be free in autumn.I won't be free in a few days, so I have to make something to grow wheat, so I can only find time to do it now.
"Third Master!"
Xie Lang raised his head, saw a row of green bamboos, and hurried to the west, "What's the matter?" Seeing Xiao Qi standing at the door, "No more playing?"
"Uncle Ma wants to see Brother Monkey." The child said loudly.
Xie Lang subconsciously turned around, and the monkey came out of the house.
A trace of surprise flashed in Xie Lang's eyes, this monkey could not have been raised by nature, it jumped out from the cracks in the rocks.
"Your monkey brother is still not familiar with our family, you don't like meeting people, let Xiaoma come in a few days." Xie Lang nonsense.
Xiao Qi turned her head and said to the west, "My third master said it a few days ago. Uncle Ma, let's go play."
"Don't run too far." Xie Lang said hastily.
"We won't run far, third uncle."
After finishing the words, Xie Dalang's son Xie Xiaoma led his younger siblings and his nephew Xiao Qi to run eastward.
Xie Lang couldn't help laughing, Yao Lan Huasheng's son was so timid, he didn't dare to ask him if he wanted to see a monkey.I really don't know who this kid looks like.
Like Xie Dalang, this is what Yao Guizhi said.
Yao Guizhi's original words, not seeing that the two children look like Xie Dalang, but her son Xiaoma is a descendant of Xie's family, she also let Yao Lanhua take away.
Thinking of this, Xie Lang carried the red toon wood to the door of the main room and spread it out, then went to the front to look for Yao Guizhi.
People in the village without donkeys made bean curd sticks, so Qin Hong, her sister-in-law, and Xiao Qi's two aunts couldn't make enough vegetarian chicken and tofu to sell in the wine shop.But vegetarian chicken and dried tofu are expensive, so Yao Guizhi and her daughter make vegetarian chicken and dried tofu, and Feng Ying makes bean curd sticks, in case the wine shop does not have them in the car one day.
Xie Lang went to Yao Guizhi's house, Yao Guizhi was wrapping tofu skin with cloth, Xie Lang washed his hands and helped her wrap a piece.
"I don't need you, I'm almost done." Yao Guizhi kept waving his hands to tell him to stay away.
Xie Lang sat down opposite her, "Brother's wife has a clue."
Yao Guizhi stopped, realizing what he said, "When? Did you find him?"
"Don't worry, don't worry, listen to me." Xie Lang said, "I asked Xiao Qi's uncle to look for it. From his tone, there are suitable ones in their village. Xiao Qi's two aunts turned around for money, and they definitely wouldn't do it for the sake of money." Go to Chun'e's house and stop for a day.
"I guess they might come back from the city tomorrow and go to Chun'e's house, come back in the afternoon, and then take their things to Chang'an. You go to her house at noon tomorrow and ask."
Yao Guizhi couldn't believe it, "You asked them to ask for us?"
"They still expect me to make a lot of money, they won't, and they don't dare to mess around." Xie Lang said.
Yao Guizhi suddenly remembered that the villagers told her that Xie Lang put a lot of bamboo in the spring water on the mountain, and it looked like he was going to do something big, "Then I will ask them tomorrow when I go to the city with them."
Xie Lang said that he heard, and asked, "Uncle has been away for a month?"
"It's been a month since he left. But the work for the government is counted from the day he started working. I don't know when it started." Yao Guizhi said.
Xie Lang: "It didn't rain when he left, so he must have been working somewhere. I guess he should be back in the next two days. By the way, Yao Lanhua also knows when elder brother left. You tell elder sister to go to the entrance of the village when she is free. Watch, Yao Lanhua don't come this way."
"I see." Yao Guizhi said, "That monkey and wolf didn't bite you, did they?"
Xie Lang shook his head, and when he saw that the tofu skin had bottomed out, he stood up, "Elder Brother, hurry up. Uncle is saying that Yao Lanhua just left, Elder Brother is sad, or something else, and he will find a wife for Elder Brother in a few days." , don’t listen to uncle.”
Xie Jianye was not at home. Yao Guizhi went to the city every three days and dealt with the people in the city. He was well-informed and had money in his hands. His waist was stiff and he said directly, "I will tell your uncle when the matter is settled."
Xie Lang couldn't help laughing, "Then you go and cook vegetarian chicken. I'll go home and have a look, don't tear down the house."
"Go." Yao Guizhi carried the basin and went to the kitchen.
When Xie Lang got home, Xiao Qi was still playing at Xie Zhongwu's door, so he went directly to the kitchen, and in front of the monkey, he conjured peaches one after another, and when the golden monkey looked straight at him, he stuffed a handful of bananas into the box.Then he stuffed a few more plums into it, the wooden box was full, Xie Lang spread out the firewood which was wet by the rain to dry.
In the evening, when Xiao Qi came back, Xie Lang cooked some noodles with chicken soup, and the two of them ate their fill in the dark, Xie Lang led Xiao Qi to wash up, carried the little tiger, put the door of the room on top of a cabinet, and went to sleep.
In a daze, Xie Lang felt someone knocking on the door, sat up suddenly, and heard the door knocking again.Xie Lang realized that he heard correctly, grabbed the stick on the shoe rack and asked, "Who?"
There was a chirping sound.
Xie Lang's heart trembled, what the hell?
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a lump of white beside the shoe rack, and Xie Lang remembered that a monkey comparable to a human came to his house yesterday. "What's the matter?" When he opened the door, he saw the monkey with one hand frozen mid-air.
"What's wrong?" Xie Lang asked again.
The monkey turned around and left.
Xie Lang followed up with a wooden stick, saw something in the washbasin, saw it clearly under the moonlight, and said in surprise, "You caught it?!"
