Diandian, the cute group pet has a dragon Kaka to kill
Chapter 72 The Xi Family Enters the Mountains
The door of the He family was open. He looked up and saw the dragon portrait. It looked so vivid that it felt like it would fly into the air in the next second. He couldn't help but praise it, "How amazing! This painting skill is really amazing."
Hearing the voice, Mrs. He came out of the kitchen and saw the person coming. She smiled and said, "Hello, Mr. Xi. It is worth the money spent on this portrait to have a compliment from you."
The Nanxu Kingdom does not restrict people's beliefs. Even dragon statues can be worshipped, just like there are Dragon King Temples in many places. It does not violate the taboo of the current emperor. This is why the He family dares to place it directly in the main hall for worship.
She had no intention of keeping this matter secret, as the villagers would know it sooner or later. She spoke carelessly at this moment, not seeming to be afraid of Xi Zhiyi asking about it at all.
Feeling her attitude, Xi Zhiyi did not go to the yard, but stood at the gate and bowed, saying: "Grandma He, this money is worth spending. When I come out of the mountains, please tell me where this painter is. I will ask for a painting for my grandmother."
Mrs. He nodded and said, "It's all a small matter. The painter is in Changle Town. If you are in a hurry, just give me more money."
"Are we going up the mountain now? Have you had breakfast? Would you like to have a bite of the simple meal at home to fill your stomach?"
Yesterday, the family prepared food for them to take up the mountain, and the young master gave them another five taels of silver. The food was not enough, so she was in the kitchen just now to make more food. She couldn't always take advantage of others.
Xi Zhiyi bowed his hands humbly and politely and said: "I am here just to ask for food. I am sorry to bother you, Grandma He. Please do more. There are some brothers outside."
Secret Guard: “!!”
The master is so nice, I'm touched~~~ For a secret guard, it's a blessing to have a hot meal early in the morning.
Mrs. He smiled and greeted, "Okay, breakfast is good, young master, sit under the eaves and rest for a while."
In just a cup of tea, the millet porridge with rice oil was simmered over low heat, and two servings of fried dumplings and pan-fried dumplings, shredded white radish with sesame oil, and stir-fried cabbage were served on the table. Each dish had the authentic flavor of a farmhouse.
Xi Zhiyi ate with great relish and thought it tasted better than the exquisite dishes at home. He ate a lot by himself. Looking at the clean and tidy courtyard, he felt that life was good to live like this.
If my grandmother comes, she will definitely be very happy. When she gets better, I can bring her to Xiaotian Village to live for a while and enjoy the pastoral life without worries.
Leng Yue sent the food out first. As for the bowls and chopsticks, they were also in the courtyard next door. She gently said to Mrs. He, "Someone will help bring them back later."
Knowing that they rented the small courtyard next door, Mrs. He said indifferently, "It's okay, I can go get it myself later, it's just a small matter."
Just as Xi Zhiyi finished his breakfast, Zheng Lizheng came over, followed by a few other people. They were famous hunters in the village and some were from neighboring villages, a total of five or six people.
Seeing him, he immediately bowed and said, "You are still worried about how Master Xi will eat. It seems that the old man is worrying for nothing. The He family is famous for their excellent cooking skills."
Hearing this, Xi Zhiyi stood up and returned the greeting with a smile on his gentle face. He agreed, "Indeed, I'm lucky. I bought food from Grandma He's house when I entered the village. So I can eat the food that's easy to eat. It's especially delicious."
The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and Zheng Lizheng said, "According to Master Xi's request, we are looking for experienced hunters. It's just that finding ginseng requires luck. I hope Master Xi has good luck this time and can get down the mountain safely as soon as possible."
Xi Zhiyi had a very good impression of Xiaotian Village since he entered the village. The villagers were all kind and honest, especially the headman in front of him. It could be seen that he was wealthy and had never deliberately asked for a high rent. He was an old man with noble character.
He bowed to them, bent down deeply and said, "It's very dangerous to go into the mountains this time. Thank you for accompanying me." He glanced at Leng Yue, who handed over the silver note.
He continued, "I know that Datian Mountain is the old forest on my body. This fifty taels of silver is a prepayment. I will pay the remaining fifty taels after I find the wild ginseng. Of course...if I am unlucky and don't find it, this money will also be paid to the uncles."
Zheng Lizheng and the hunters had not expected that this young master would be so generous. Looking at the fifty-tael silver note, they became a little anxious, not knowing whether they should take it or not.
Zheng Lizheng smiled, took the banknote with both hands, and said to the hunter: "If you are at ease, I will collect the money for you and send it to each family in a while. If you are not at ease, take it to the mountain."
Then the hunters from other villages looked at each other and said, "Zheng Lizheng is a man that everyone trusts. Please keep it for now and don't send it back home. There are elderly people, women and children at home who can't keep it."
"Yes, yes. Now that we are here with you, everyone feels relieved."
"When we get out of Daejeon Mountain safely, we will treat you to delicious meat and wine."
Zheng Lizheng glanced at the people outside the yard and said loudly, "We can't keep this money at home. The old man will have trouble sleeping all night. We will deposit it in the bank in town later."
"This way I feel at ease, and I don't have to worry about anyone worrying about me. I still have to fight for my life."
The people outside the yard laughed heartily and joked, "That's right. Not only Zheng Lizheng said he couldn't sleep well, but even the villagers dared not close their eyes when they slept. If a bad guy came to rob them, everyone would rush out and fight to the death."
"It's better to deposit it in the bank. This is the money that several brothers have worked hard for. Let everyone take off their clothes and have a good sleep."
“Hahahahahahahahaha…”
Mrs. He stood aside with a smile on her face, her eyes constantly scanning those people. In the past, her family had no money, so naturally they would not attract the attention of the villagers. Now that she has made money from business, she would like to take a closer look to have a better idea.
The hunters smiled and nodded when they heard this, saying, "Brothers, rest assured that Zheng Lizheng will do the job, and we will do as you say."
Looking up, they saw that it was getting late. If they stayed any later, the weather would get hot. The hunters bowed and said, "Master Xi, let's set off now. The earlier we leave, the earlier we will come back."
Xi Zhiyi nodded and said to Grandma He: "Thank you for the breakfast, Grandma He. When I go down the mountain, I will bother you again for food. Please don't be disgusted by it then."
Looking at him at such a young age, Mrs. He was also worried. She still had some good feelings towards this filial child.
She stepped forward and touched his head, just like she was touching her own little girl, and said seriously: "Don't be reckless when you go into the mountains. These uncles are all experienced. If you encounter problems, you should listen to their advice. You only have one life, so you can think of other ways. Grandma He is waiting for you to come down the mountain and make delicious food for you."
