talk about wine

Since that incident happened that day, Zhou Qingwu was finally able to live in peace for a few days.But this couldn't stop their mouths. When they saw Meng Chuxi's people, they started talking there again, wondering when her family would come to pick her up.

That day, Meng Chuxi defended Zhou Qingwu so much and they saw it. If she was really a lady, Zhou Qingwu would probably fly up to the branches and become a phoenix by then.The words were full of jealousy and envy, and secretly felt that such a good thing hadn't been bumped into by him.

Aunt Liu has been here a few times, chatting with Zhou Qingwu about those people's gossip, and looking at Meng Chuxi sitting in the yard over there, she lowered her voice and said regretfully: "She protects you very much, but it's a pity that she doesn't remember who she is. , otherwise He should help you, and you don't have to live a hard life."

Zhou Qingwu looked at Meng Chuxi, but there was still soft joy in his eyes, and he gestured: After she came, she no longer suffers.

Meng Chuxi seemed to have sensed something in that room, and raised her head and smiled at her.Seeing this, Mrs. Liu also laughed, and said to Meng Chuxi: "It's only been a while since you've been here, it's really rare that this Qingwu girl is so close to you."

Meng Chuxi also smiled when she heard this, and said in a warm voice, "It's Qingwu who saved me and took me in, otherwise I don't know what to do."

Aunt Liu also took the opportunity to praise Zhou Qingwu: "This child is kind-hearted, it is indeed a blessing that you met her." If it were those women or something, I don't know what will happen to Meng Chuxi.

Meng Chuxi nodded repeatedly. She has a gentle personality and is also polite to others. After chatting with Aunt Liu for a while, it turned out to be quite speculative.

After Aunt Liu left, Meng Chuxi looked at her with a light smile and said, "Aunt Liu is indeed very kind to you."

Zhou Qingwu nodded: Yes, it has been fine.Then she looked at Meng Chuxi again, and stretched out her hand to say: You are fine too.

Meng Chuxi couldn't help smiling.

It has been half a month since Meng Chuxi came to Zhoujia Village, and under the careful care of Zhou Qingwu, most of his injuries have healed. Now the wound has almost healed, and he can walk around freely.It's just that after so long, I haven't heard any news of missing persons. Zhou Qingwu still feels sad for Meng Chuxi, but he doesn't know that Meng Chuxi is happy in his heart.

Judging from the appearance of her accident, the probability of vendetta is very high, and it is actually the safest way for no one to find her.

The villagers saw Meng Chuxi several times in Zhou Qingwu's yard. Apart from marveling at the outstanding appearance of the people Zhou Qingwu saved, they began to wonder why no one had come to find Meng Chuxi after so long.

So as time went by, those who were originally envious of Zhou Qingwu began to gloat and ridicule him.

Early this morning, Zhou Qingwu went to do the laundry, and happened to run into Zhu Shi and Lin Shi who were returning home after washing.When they saw Zhou Qingwu, they deliberately raised their voices and said, "At first, I was quite envious of that little mute. I picked up a lady from a big family, and the other party still protects her like this. Good times must be coming. Who would have thought, that man fell and fell." I'm stupid, I don't remember anything, I guess I'm still at her house now. I don't know if it's the poor lady or the dumb, who can't support himself and needs to add another mouth."

Zhou Qingwu could hear clearly, turned his head to look at the two people, his eyes were no longer the cowering look they used to be, but stared at the two secretly laughing with cold anger and expressionless, until they were a little guilty and moved their eyes away quickly and left.

Mrs. Zhu muttered to herself, "Why does this dumb man feel so different? He used to dare not look at people, but now his eyes look like knives."

Thinking that she was intimidated by such a dumb person, Lin felt aggrieved, spat and said, "I thought someone was backing her up, and I forgot who I am. Maybe one day I will kill that woman of unknown origin." Let's see how she can stand it."

Mrs. Zhu didn't answer, she was speechless, but she couldn't do the thing of responding and cursing others, so she smiled and went home with her clothes.

Zhou Qingwu was angry and bored, she didn't mind what others said about her, but she couldn't see others saying that Meng Chuxi was not, what a fool, Chuxi was much smarter than them.

Meng Chuxi was helping to clean the yard. Seeing the little girl come back with a sullen face, she couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"

Zhou Qingwu came over to take the broom in her hand, refused to let her work, and gestured: I met two people from the village.I'll do it, you rest.

Meng Chuxi knew it, and heard them gossiping again.She pulled the broom over again, pointed to the clothes she put aside, "You went to wash the clothes, I should sweep the yard, my injury is already healed, I don't need to rest."

But Zhou Qingwu still insisted that Meng Chuxi should be a noble person in her heart, and she would not let her do what she could.

Meng Chuxi clenched the broom tightly, and said seriously: "I am taken in by you now, not as a young lady at home, and Qingwu, you are not the one who serves me. It is only natural for me to share these matters with you. In other words, in Qingwu's eyes Here I am just an irrelevant outsider, do you want to drive me away when you bother me?"

Zhou Qingwu's eyes widened after hearing this, and he quickly waved his hands, unable to speak up to defend himself, and gestured there at a loss.

Meng Chuxi looked amused, took the broom and continued to sweep the floor, and said to Zhou Qingwu, "Since you don't think so, then what can we do together? people."

This body was raised with fine skin and tender flesh. She took a closer look at the hands and there was no trace of rough work at all. Only the fingers had a thin layer of calluses. They should have been using a pen frequently. Although the body was delicate, it was quite flexible, not fragile.Moreover, Meng Chuxi herself grew up in the countryside with her grandfather. Although she hasn't done many things for a few years, she knows a lot.

Seeing her skillfully sweeping the floor, Zhou Qingwu pursed his lips and laughed.After tidying up the house, Zhou Qingwu was going to go up the mountain to dig some medicinal materials for money, and to see if he could find some wild vegetables.Although she had those two gold leafs at home, she didn't plan to use them. She didn't have any fields at home, and she didn't grow anything at all. Those wild vegetables were the most direct source of food.

Originally, she planned to let Meng Chuxi stay at home, but Meng Chuxi insisted on going together, so Zhou Qingwu could only agree.She took the back basket and brought the hatchet and hoe at home. Zhou Qingwu walked in front and took the tools, and the back basket was carried on Meng Chuxi's body.

The villagers who saw the two going out were a little surprised, "The girl Meng looked at her thin skin and tender flesh, she looked like a young lady, and she followed that dumb guy up the mountain?"

The woman from the same village looked up and said, "The good-looking one may not necessarily be the young lady of your family. No one has been looking for it for so long. I don't know where she escaped. Maybe it's a concubine raised by a rich family."

But Meng Chuxi didn't care about other people's gossip, although she was also worried.After all, this body is not young, at least seventeen or eighteen years old. In ancient times, there were probably several children born.But fortunately, she took a peek at it. This figure should have never given birth to a child, otherwise Meng Chuxi would definitely collapse.

Because of Meng Chuxi's company, Zhou Qingwu took her to a mountain forest that she rarely visited on weekdays, where the soil was fertile and it was a good place for many medicinal herbs to grow.

Along the way, she watched Meng Chuxi cautiously at the beginning, and was ready to reach out to help her from time to time, but she found that Meng Chuxi walked very smoothly, and she didn't need her help at all on those rough paths. up.

She can read and write, and although her conversation is sometimes a little strange, she can't understand the words that come out, but she can feel that she is not a villager, and her appearance is better than that of the ladies and wives she has seen in the town. Imagine this kind of her, who can eat simple food, and can also work skillfully and climb the mountain road.

Zhou Qingwu looked at her in a daze, until Meng Chuxi stopped and called her with a little surprise: "Qingwu, come here."

Zhou Qingwu walked in, and Meng Chuxi, who bent down to pick something there, turned his head and spread his palms towards her.In the palm of her hand is a small red fruit, which is only as thick as an index finger.Zhou Qingwu took it over and took a look. It looked like a hawthorn, but the skin was smooth and firmer than a hawthorn, and it was much smaller.

She looked at Meng Chuxi and gestured, then wrote on her palm: Is it wild hawthorn?

"Yes." Meng Chuxi beckoned her over again, and saw a small thorny tree growing in the bushes, with sparse leaves, not like a hawthorn tree, and the branches were full of thorns.There are a lot of fruits picked on it, most of which are already red, like small lanterns hanging on it, very pleasant.

Meng Chuxi didn't expect to see this on the mountain. When she was a child, her grandfather often took her up the mountain, and would pick these small fruits. Grandpa called them monkey particles.The taste is somewhat similar to hawthorn, and it should be a kind of wild mountain scum, but it is very small, hidden in the yellowing withered grass in autumn, its red color is very eye-catching and attractive.

"Try it." She picked the biggest one, wiped it with her sleeve and handed it to Zhou Qingwu.

Zhou Qingwu seldom touched these things before. After her parents passed away, she depended on the sky alone. Except for the medicinal materials her father taught her to recognize, she could only learn other things by watching others make them.But people in the village hate her, and no one will teach her specifically, so what she knows is actually very limited.

She took a bite of the fruit. The flesh is not very thick, and there are more pits inside. The flesh is indeed firmer than that of hawthorn. The sweet and sour taste is very different from that of hawthorn, but it is quite good.

"Is it tasty?"

Zhou Qingwu nodded, Meng Chuxi squatted down and lifted the hem of his clothes, and put all the cooked monkey particles in.A total of two plants have grown here, and a large bunch of fruits have been picked, and the red and yellow ones are particularly gratifying.

Zhou Qingwu felt that Meng Chuxi was very happy. She was holding the fruit with her sleeves rolled up. If it weren't for her delicate white arms and a particularly beautiful face, she would really look like a village girl, um, a very pretty and lovely girl.

Infected by her mood, Zhou Qingwu also smiled, and the two continued to walk all the way into the woods. Meng Chuxi handed the fruit to Zhou Qingwu with a fruit in his pocket.

Along the way, Zhou Qingwu dug up a few herbs, but most of them were very common and not particularly valuable.When the two reached a slope, Zhou Qingwu suddenly stopped, patted Meng Chuxi, pointed to a protruding boulder, and gestured.

Meng Chuxi stopped to take a look. There was a plant growing there. The leaves were long and narrow, and the leaves were very delicate. She also knew it. It was a traditional Chinese medicine called Polygonatum.Polygonatum is flat in taste and sweet in nature, can treat many diseases, and can also be used to stew meat to nourish blood and Qi.

Zhou Qingwu took out a small medicine hoe to scrape away the fallen leaves, dug up a layer of soil along the roots, and stretched out her hand to touch it with a smile on her face. She gestured to Meng Chuxi: It's very big.

Meng Chuxi didn't care about the fruit in his pocket, and directly poured it into the basket.Put the basket aside and watch Zhou Qingwu dig carefully with his head down.

This sealwort was estimated to have been born for about ten years, and its rhizome was very long. Watching Zhou Qingwu lift up a layer of soil and dig eight or nine inches horizontally, Zhou Qingwu was quite pleasantly surprised.

Meng Chuxi didn't really understand what this meant, but she was still happy to see Zhou Qingwu digging and digging and taking out such a big piece.

Zhou Qingwu stretched out his hand and counted, there were thirteen knots in total.She frowned and gestured at Meng Chuxi: This small section is one year, and such a big piece lasts more than ten years, and it is worth a lot of money if it is handled well.

This is the biggest sealwort she has ever dug up, and having it today will be quite rewarding.Seeing her obviously happy, Meng Chuxi also laughed and praised the little girl generously: "Qingwu is too powerful."

Zhou Qingwu was happy at first, but he was extremely embarrassed to be blushed after being praised so much by her. Meng Chuxi couldn't help smiling when he saw it.

Carefully put away the medicinal materials, Zhou Qingwu reached out to take the pannier from Meng Chuxi's body, but she naturally refused: "It's just that nothing sinks."

This was the first time that Zhou Qingwu concentrated on searching for medicinal materials in this desolate mountain forest with such peace of mind.No matter how daring he is when he is alone, Zhou Qingwu is always in fear.

Forced by life, the teenage girls can only throw away all their weaknesses and fears, grit their teeth and move forward alone.She felt more and more that Meng Chuxi was God's only compensation for being cruel to her for so long, but it made her life change drastically.
