Cross-country exchange

One tael of silver is equivalent to one thousand Wen.Xia Yu converted the currency of this era, and immediately understood.

Before, he earned 43 Wen, gave Xia's father [-] Wen, and paid the deposit for the rest.There are still five days before he can pick up the goods. Whatever, he has to earn a tael of silver in these short days.

Xia Yu learned to be smart this time. He woke up earlier than everyone in the Xia family, lit the lamp, and began to carve carefully with the faint light.As soon as he heard someone getting up and talking in the inner room, he immediately cleaned the kitchen knife and put it on the stove. Even the position of the knife was exactly the same, so no one could find any clues.

After everyone had breakfast and went to work in the field, Xia's grandmother also went to other people's houses, and he picked up the kitchen knife and continued his carving.Xia Yu's day is very regular, eating, carving and sleeping. In addition, he will also insist on daily health exercises.

His complexion is getting better and better, and his body is getting stronger and stronger. After a long time, Xia Yu's breath has become like the blade in his hand, more and more fierce. He sat quietly and carved under the tree, invisibly emitting The momentum is impossible to ignore.

After a day of carving, Xia Yu managed to carve three combs, all of which were made of flower palm wood. The carved wooden combs are very comfortable to the touch, and the wood exudes a faint fragrance. , the only fly in the ointment is that the kitchen knife is still not a carving knife, and the carved plants, trees, flowers and leaves, flowing clouds and flowing water, all have not reached the beauty in the artistic conception.

Fortunately, these are only for sale, otherwise he might not be able to accept such flaws on the carvings.

The time was pinpointed, and when it was time to eat, Xia Yu immediately washed the kitchen knife clean, placed the things on the stove neatly, and graciously helped his grandma, peeled the corn kernels, and folded the vegetables. I almost went to the stove to cook dinner myself.

Xia's grandma looked at the extra gaps on the kitchen knife with a smile on her face. He is in a good mood now and doesn't care about his kid's stupid behavior every day.Quickly made two side dishes, put some gnocchi in the corn paste, and the heat was a little higher, and it didn't take long for dinner to be ready.

Father Xia's family was also very happy, and even invited Uncle Luo's family over for dinner.The Xia family wasn't rich at all, so father of the Xia family would be willing to drink such a sip of wine on weekdays and spend time at the table.Unexpectedly, Uncle Luo's family came, Father Xia also picked up the wine that Cao Jingtian sent back last time and drank it together.

Xia Yu found it amazing that if the Xia family hadn't had any great joy, they would never have been so "extravagant".So when he was eating at the table, he stared at the four adults on the table with his eyes, thinking, something must have happened that he didn't know about.

Luo Liang also stared at Xia Yu stealthily, he ate fast, he couldn't bear such a large group of people eating, and the room was stuffy, especially what Xia's uncle and his father were talking about, he was not at all interested.After eating, he called Xia Yu to take a stroll around the village.Xia Yu originally wanted to inquire about some substantive content, so he ate slowly, eating very elegantly.Once interrupted by Luo Liang, a bastard, I suddenly felt that I couldn't sing the next play.

Xia Bing was deeply amused to see Xia Yu's chirping and chirping, and said something to him quietly.Xia Yu was in high spirits immediately, and let Luo Liang pull him and ran out like flying.

After running three meters away, Xia Yu immediately let go of his hands and said, "You can't run vigorously after eating. Tell me, this village is only this big, where do you want to go?"

Luo Liang said boldly, "Lorry, you are so wordy, you follow me, and you will know later."

In addition to a small stream, Hexi Village also has a small mountain, and there is another village fifty miles away.Xia Yu's mind turned quickly, seeing Luo Liang's mysterious appearance, he immediately guessed something, but his face didn't show it, he just said: "Luo Liang, don't tell me, believe it or not, I will tell Luo Ama and Luo Uncle, just say that you plan to take me to the mountains to play together while it is dark. Guess what will happen to them? "

What else?

It must be in a rage, each grabbed one, took them back to each house, and then beat them with sticks.

Luo Liang's eyes widened immediately, was Xia Yu in front of him still the one who kept silent and would cover up everything he did?He even played his small report, he jumped behind Xia Yu, held his shoulders and jumped up, strangled his neck with both hands and said fiercely in the suit: "Xia Xiaoyu, how dare you?" .”

Luo Liang didn't tell himself this time, Xia Yu was so amused by him, "Hurry up and get down for me, this one is sweating and sticky."

Luo Liang naturally knew, but he was just playing around with Xia Yu, "Xia Xiaoyu, just give me a clear message, will you go?"

What Xia Yu cared about was those few precious trees, especially Luo Liang who was glaring at him in front of him, so he nodded and said, "Yes, of course I want to go with you."

Luo Liang was satisfied now, "I know, Xia Xiaoyu is the most righteous."

Xia Yu put his hands down from his neck and shoulders, and said solemnly: "Luo Liang, I have something, can I discuss it with you?"

Luo Liang blinked.

"Next time you call me Xia Xiaoyu, just let me punch you until you forget the name. What do you think?"

A few seconds later, Luo Liang laughed loudly.

The two happily walked towards the hill, one behind the other, and when they were a little further away, a shadow stood quietly behind them.

"Xia Xiaoyu, you are haunted."

On the mountain at night, it was a bit cool, and the two of them took relatively big steps, and they climbed up in a short time. Luo Liang led the way, and Xia Yu followed behind.

What was in front of him was a remote trail. Although Xia Yu had been to the mountain two or three times, he didn't know it.Looking at the familiar man next to him, it seems that he often runs up the mountain.

"Luo Liang, did you hide something good on the mountain?"

Luo Liang almost staggered, he turned around and joked, "Xia Yu, you must be the roundworm in my stomach."

Xia Yu grinned, thinking, the mountain is indeed a good place to hide things.

The two of them soon came to Luo Liang's secret base, a very narrow cave. If Luo Liang hadn't pushed the vegetation outside the cave in advance, Xia Yu would have hardly imagined that there was a cave hidden inside.

"Luo Liang, how did you discover this cave?"

Inside the cave, there is a strange world. When I first entered the cave, a musty and bloody smell came over my face.Xia Yu took a closer look and found that there were some dead animals, and the blood was a little dry, obviously they had died not long ago.However, the cave is still clean and tidy. It is estimated that the trees at the entrance of the cave blocked the entrance of the passage, the air is not circulating, and some things inside are moldy.

"You did all of these?"

Xia Yu couldn't believe it. There are hunters in Hexi Village who are used to hunting in the mountains, but since they died a few times on the mountain, the timid ones dare not run up the mountain again.So many prey have not been dead for a long time.At first glance, it must have been thrown here after being hit by someone.

Luo Liang stacked all the prey together, stayed aside and worried, "Don't worry about it so much, Xia Yu, help me think of a way, how can I get rid of these things without anyone noticing. "

Xia Yu was amused by his painful appearance, and he dared to be pulled up to find a way.He still thought it was something, "It's simple, just hand it over to your father and sell it in the county town. First, it can improve the family's situation, and second, there is meat to eat. It's a double win—oh, I Say don't throw things around, if I smash my brain, who will help you think of ideas."

Luo Liang rolled his eyes at him, gritted his teeth and said, "If I hand it over to my father, I won't be beaten to death by him. Do you still want to see me, your only brother?"

Xia Yu looked at the pile of prey, smiled and said, "It's okay if I don't tell you Dad, there is a way here, but—"

There was a sudden creaking sound outside, and the two looked at each other in shock.

"Who's outside."
