The elder brother who travels through is hard to do

With the propaganda of the village head, Xu Bei didn’t need to go door-to-door by himself. The villagers in Wazigou automatically delivered the mountain products made at home to the village head’s house. The silver in the space took a lot of money, and then stopped, saying to come again next time.

Mrs. Xia warmly entertained Xu Bei, and called the three big men to her home for dinner. They stewed wild pheasants hunted in the mountains with wild mushrooms. The taste was so delicious that people could swallow their tongues. Xu Bei and Lao Qiu shouted happily, and the old lady squinted her eyes in delight.

Seeing that Xu Bei likes to eat the sour bamboo shoots she made and stir-fried diced roe roe, before leaving, the old lady specially sent a jar of soaked sour bamboo shoots: "There is nothing else in the mountains, but these bamboo shoots are not eaten all year round." It's finished, it's worthless stuff, take it back for your younger brother to taste." The old lady looked at Xu Bei kindly, who was about the same age as her grandson, but came out early to beg for a living because of the death of his parents, and had to pay for his studies. His younger brother, the old lady felt that Xu Bei was not easy after thinking about it, and felt pity for him.

"Haha, then I have the audacity to accept it for Minqing. Grandma Xia is so good at craftsmanship, this kid Minqing is really lucky." Xu Bei stood there obediently holding the jar, letting Mrs. Xia scrutinize him, talking to please Mrs. If the wife likes it.

"Okay, okay, as long as you like it, come again next time." Old lady Xia said happily.

The young man who sent Xu Bei and Lao Qiu back yesterday was also Mrs. Xia’s eldest grandson. He was jealous and said bitterly: "Brother Xu has only been here for two days, and he has coaxed grandma to lose her mind." ..." Before he finished speaking, he was dragged away by Xu Bei with his head between his hands, and his yelling could still be heard from far away.

Maybe it's because he seldom goes out, this young man named Xia Shan likes to hear Xu Bei talk about the outside world very much, and because of his similar age, he got acquainted with Xu Bei in just two days. Followed closely, and never saw the initial vigilance again.Xu Bei patted his head twice and said with a smile, "Xiao Shanzi, I'll get Grandma Xia and you'll be jealous of a pot of sour bamboo shoots. If you come here a few more times in the future, won't you let me join the family?" Can't get in?"

Xia Shan broke free with a single effort. After all, he practiced martial arts with adults since he was a child, and he is much stronger than Xu Bei. Before, he just cooperated with him to make the two old people happy. Xia Shan glared and said: "I told you goodbye What is it called Xiao Shanzi, the daimyo, Xia Shan, otherwise..." He also called Xiao Beizi to see how he was doing.

"Okay, how about calling it Xiaoshan? Xiaoshan? Xiaosan?" Xu Bei smiled and endured a lot of hard work.

Xia Shan pretended to be generous with her chin and thought about it, then waved her hand and said, "My lord will forgive you this time, and don't call me wrong again in the future."

"Well, little San'er." Xu Bei called solemnly.

Xia Shan rubbed her head, always feeling that Xu Bei had bad intentions, but she couldn't figure out where this weird feeling came from, so she patted her head and said, "Why don't I take you into the mountains to hunt?" Then he started bragging, It is said that he went into the mountains with a few strong men from the village last year and encountered a blind bear, and they hunted it down together. Now the bear skin is still in his grandfather's house.

Xu Bei raised his eyebrows. If a bear skin is not too damaged, it can be sold for a lot of silver outside. I heard them talk about killing wolves before. It can be seen that Wazigou Village is not poor. What he saw in the past two days was much better than the Shanghill Village where he stayed before.However, he also knows that not everyone can live in such a mountain village. Other people would have been eaten up by wild beasts in the mountains. Only by practicing martial arts can everyone here be able to deal with wild animals in the mountains.

Xia Shan's proposal was still in line with Xu Bei's wishes, so he postponed his return journey for a day, and only wandered around the outskirts of deep mountains and old forests. If he wanted to go deeper, it would not be possible to do it in three or two days. Xu Bei thought that he would come to Wazigou again in the future, so he would take Minqing with him sometime and go into the deep mountains to play for a few days.

Lao Qiu didn't disagree, so he called Shang Tieniu and the other two young men, tidied up a bit and went into the mountain.At this time, Xu Bei also knew what Lao Qiu used to do in the army - scouting, scouting, identifying traces and whereabouts of wild animals, it was a piece of cake for him.

"Uncle Qiu's skills are comparable to the most experienced old hunter in our village. Uncle Qiu, come here again in winter. Let's go into the deep mountains together. With Uncle Qiu leading the way, we will definitely find the big guy." Xia Shan Staring at Lao Qiu with bright eyes, he said.

Lao Qiu was also itchy in his heart, but he was different from Tieniu, he had a family and a job, and he couldn't leave home for too long.When the mountains are closed by heavy snow in the cold winter, Wazigou can’t get in or out, unless he stays here all winter, so I suppress my heart’s urge to move and say: “Let’s see the time. Leading the way, you kid should calm down and practice your skills, don't rush into the deep mountains and old forests, if you accidentally get seriously injured, it's too late to regret it."

Just as they were talking, a cloud of gray and white flew past their eyes. It was too late and then quickly, and the young man who came with him set up a bow and shot it out. Hearing a puff, Xu Bei knew that he hadn't failed, and hurriedly I ran over and saw a hare fell down in the grass, and the arrow hit its neck, and it couldn't die anymore.

"Excellent, this is really good!" Xu Bei boasted with a thumbs up.

"Where, it's far worse than other people, even brother Xiaoshan is better than me." The man scratched his head shyly and said.

Xia Shan immediately became proud.

Going into the mountain in the morning and coming out in the evening, the few people gained a lot. Xu Bei was also happy to see his teeth but not his eyes. After many misses, he finally succeeded in shooting a pheasant. The pheasant he picked up almost made Xia Shan laugh. Angry, the arrow actually poked the pheasant's butt, Xia Shan said that Xu Bei was a blind cat who ran into a dead mouse.

After entering the academy, Xu Minqing regained a lot of confidence, his waist straightened, and his eyes brightened.

"Minqing, thank you for your help today. Why don't I treat you to a restaurant tonight as a thank you." The boy who is half a head taller than Xu Minqing said to him with a smile. He reminded him today that the boy didn't suffer from his wife. scold.

"No, someone at home has cooked dinner and waited for me to go back. Let's make an appointment next time. Besides, the effort is not worth mentioning." Xu Minqing smiled slightly.

"Okay then, let's do it next time. Hey, Min Qing, that person was looking at you again yesterday. It must be someone from your family." Xu Minqing and the boy have only met for a few days, and their relationship is not good enough to put the situation at home Tell the truth, so the boy doesn't know who is in his new classmate's family.

Xu Minqing followed his gaze, and it turned out to be the same person from yesterday. His gaze seemed a little excited but he didn't dare to go forward. He couldn't help frowning delicately, and said, "I don't know, I want to go home." Alright, see you at the academy tomorrow."

"Ok, see you tomorrow."

The two teenagers were saying goodbye on the street, and Xu Minqing turned into an alley beside him. The current home of him and his elder brother was at the end of the alley.

The smile on his face gradually disappeared, and he looked back, but there was no one following him, so Xu Minqing just forgot about that person.

Looking up at the sky, he missed his elder brother. Although his elder brother found a woman to cook for him, he still felt deserted when he returned home. The scene of fighting with his elder brother seemed to be within reach. When I stretched out my hand, all I encountered was cold air.

The more the elder brother was away, the more he wanted to stay at home, maybe the elder brother would come back in the next moment, so he also found a reason to decline the meeting with classmates.

"Boy Qing, you're back. Dinner will be ready later, go wash your hands first." The woman opened the door for Xu Minqing.

"My elder brother hasn't come back yet?" Xu Minqing asked knowing the answer.

The mother-in-law laughed. The relationship between the two brothers is really good. The eldest brother earns money to support his younger brother's education, and the first question the younger brother asks when he comes back every day is the eldest brother: "No, I should be back soon."

"Qing boy, I put the change of clothes on the bedside for you after drying. By the way, when I came to clean up the house in the morning, someone came to ask the owner of the house. I was worried that someone would be unfavorable to your brothers, so I didn't say anything. Kid Qing, don't think your mother-in-law is wordy, and your eldest brother is not here, you have to guard the door by yourself, and don't open the door casually after mother-in-law leaves, those people outside are not all kind-hearted."

Xu Minqing, who had already walked to the door of the main room and was about to go in to put the books away and wash his hands, stopped because of one of the mother-in-law's words, and turned around and asked, "Mother-in-law, what kind of person came here to ask?"

"Oh, it can't be someone your brothers know." The woman patted her thigh, thinking about the man's appearance, "he's a middle-aged man, he looks quite honest, and his hair is a little gray."
