Hongdi

Xiangcheng, located 120 miles south of Meicheng, is the second largest city in Mobei County.The terrain is dangerous, like a huge valley in a ditch, and the long and narrow area is windy for many years. All the fragrance of Meicheng flowers are collected by it, so it is named "Fragrant City".

There is a long river in Xiangcheng, named "Yejiang", which winds for hundreds of miles and merges into Bashui in the south. Its source is a valley. Bold herb pickers climb down the rock to find medicines that can be exchanged for huge gold.

Zhou Xiaoshu is such a herbalist who inherited his father's career.Since his father fell to the bottom while collecting herbs 20 years ago, he has become the mainstay of the family in his teens.There is a blind old mother on the top and three young siblings below. All the burdens fall on his immature shoulders.But apart from the medicine-picking skills his father taught him, he has nothing else to do. Therefore, when the family determined that his father would never come back again, he ignored his mother's obstruction, insisted on carrying the bamboo building left by his father on his back, and ran to the ruins. Soul Valley became a herb collector.

When he bought two buckets of millet for his family with the money he bought in exchange for the first time, his mother cried happily.From then on, he no longer felt that life was hard. On the contrary, he felt more responsibility in his heart, worked harder, and tried his best to take care of his mother and love his younger siblings.Everyone in the ten miles and eight villages knew that he was a good man, but he was only [-] years old, and his younger brothers and sisters were all married and established businesses. However, he had always depended on his mother for life, and could not have a beautiful wife.It's not that women don't want to marry him, it's just that the short-lived business he did is really unflattering.Zhou's mother always felt that she was ashamed of her eldest son, and went to the streets to help her son find a wife, but she was always deceived.Zhou Xiaoshu smiled indifferently, and didn't really care about it in his heart.

Until a year ago, when Bashui flooded, his house was washed away because it was next to the Yejiang River. Fortunately, he and his mother were fine, and even luckier, he picked up a homeless woman.The woman is very beautiful, in his words, she is a fairy flying down from the sky.The long reddish-brown hair is slightly curly, and the big grape-like eyes are flickering, as if they can suck people's souls, they are so beautiful.

He always felt that the woman was not a mortal, but the woman lost her memory because of a head injury.So, he borrowed some money to build a small yard, and brought his mother to live with this celestial being.But the good times don't last long, and people who are seduced by women's beauty often come to trouble them, most of them are rich and powerful children of rich families.He tried his best to preserve this hard-won home, but in the end, someone snatched the woman away on the grounds of debt.He knew that only by taking out the huge amount of money that those people said could he get back his former happiness.

So, on that sunny day, he climbed to the depths of the Valley of Broken Souls, hoping to find some valuable medicinal herbs.

That day, he unknowingly walked near the cave at the source of Yejiang.Because the stone was slippery, he lost his foothold and fell to the shore, but he didn't feel any pain, but felt very soft.He looked down and couldn't help but be surprised, a woman half-submerged in the water was lying quietly under him.

Quickly pulling the man to the shore, he was surprised to find that the woman was very similar to his fairy.Gently patted the woman's face, the woman woke up faintly, but threw out her palm the next moment, knocking him back.After that, the woman frantically started looking for someone, and out of caution, he also started to help.After a while, three men were found, two of whom were seriously injured.The uninjured man was very talkative, and after asking him about the way, he asked him to help take them out.

He felt that this woman was destined to be with his fairy, so without further ado, he happily led them up the Valley of Broken Souls and back to his home.

But these things happened six days ago, but now, Zhou Xiaoshu regrets saving these four people, because they are so delicious!

Yu Xun carried two young roosters that were alive and kicking and crowing, and wandered back to Zhou Xiaoshu's small courtyard from the outside. When he entered the door, he shouted, "Brother Xiaoshu, Beibei wants to drink chicken soup, can you help me kill two? I'm not very good at it."

Zhou Xiaoshu came out of the house, looked at the fat little cock in his hand, frowned distressedly, and said in his heart, "It's not on credit again..."

Yu Xun blinked and blinked, and the bad water came up, "Brother Xiaoshu, the old man Zheng at the entrance of the village is really a good man, two chickens only sold me for a tael of silver, do you think it's worth it?"

"What? One tael of silver?!" Zhou Xiaoshu was stunned, one tael of silver was enough for their household for more than half a year!Now he can't wait to snatch the chicken and send it back to others.

"Brother Xiaoshu, what's the matter with you?" Yu Xun pretended to be stupid.

"You..., you, where did you get the money?" Zhou Xiaoshu didn't give up, hoping that Yuxun could suddenly get money instead of using his name on credit.

"On credit, I've gotten to know them a lot these days, and the price is very reasonable." Yu Xun said, making a face at Bei Yaofei who was lying in the yard and squinting at him with a playful smile.

"What?" Zhou Xiaoshu was about to cry, his wife was locked up at the rich man's house because of debts, how could he have money on credit like this!

Bei Yaofei coughed lightly, and said to Yu Xun: "I used to think that you made money in one way and were very shrewd. Why are you so extravagant now? Brother Zhou's family has been eaten up by you! You still have the nerve to ask someone to help you kill chicken?"

"You said you wanted to eat chicken..." Yu Xun blinked 120 times aggrieved, and walked over with the little cock in his hand, "Look, I specially picked the tender ones, they are absolutely delicious."

"You!" Bei Yaofei shook his head helplessly, feeling very sympathetic to the young man.

Yu Xun leaned down and whispered in his ear, "Is the injury better? Is it still hurting? I've already contacted someone. Don't worry, this village has already been taken by my people."

Yu Xun's warm breath made Bei Yaofei's ears itch, he tilted his head to avoid it, but he didn't escape the last kiss that the man landed on his earlobe.Slightly raised the corners of his mouth, he smiled lightly.

"Beibei, you look so pretty when you smile." Yu Xun squatted beside the bamboo couch in a daze, looking at that slightly flushed face, fascinated.

"Hong Yuxun! Where are you going to die! Miss Ben is going to starve to death!" Ling Yanxiu said, slapping Yuxun on the back of the head, Bei Yaofei closed his eyes, Yuxun let out a scream, and the chicken also ran away... …

"Xiaoxiu, you and my brother are having an unreasonable fight. Why do you bother me to have a romantic relationship with Beibei? Why are you jealous!"

"Hong Yuxun, you bastard, die!" Ling Yanxiu became furious and smashed it with his fist.

Where is Yu Xun her opponent? He was beaten several times and bared his teeth in pain. He raised his face and saw Cook Xiao leaning against the door frame expressionlessly. He changed his mind and slipped directly to the door. Behind him, he poked his head out to make a face at Ling Yanxiu, and shouted aggrievedly: "Brother, she hit me."

Ling Yan Xiulun Fist chased after him, and when he saw that Cui Xiao was pushed in front of him by Yu Xun, he couldn't help frowning, snorted coldly, turned around and left.Cook Xiao sighed softly, went to the courtyard and grabbed two little roosters, and said to Yu Xun, "Aren't you going to kill the chickens? I'll help you."

"Oh..." Yu Xun glanced boredly at Ling Yanxiu who slammed into the door fiercely, and looked worriedly at the expressionless, but his eyes were full of loneliness, and said in a low voice: "Brother, either Go coax her. I heard people say that women have to rely on coaxing."

Cook Xiao silently carried the chicken into the kitchen, and just when Yu Xun thought he didn't hear what he said, the man murmured in his ears, "There will never be a result with her..."

"Bang!" The kitchen door was also slammed shut.

Yu Xun scratched his head, thinking what's going on, a few days ago, he saw the two of them were glued together, how come after such an accident, the two of them are regarded as enemies?

Bei Yaofei squinted at Zhou Xiaoshu who was still feeling sorry for Yinzi, and smiled sheepishly, "Brother Zhou, don't worry, we will definitely repay your kindness."

Zhou Xiaoshu didn't mind seeing that his heart was broken, he smiled naively, "It's nothing, you are hurt too badly, you should make up for it."

"Thank you Brother Zhou." Bei Yaofei was very grateful.

Yu Xun walked to the bamboo couch, sat next to Bei Yaofei, and said to Zhou Xiaoshu, "Brother Xiaoshu, I paid back all the credit today. Someone should bring some food in the afternoon. As for you I have already sent someone to ransom the girl in question, so there should be news soon. Don’t worry.”

Zhou Xiaoshu's eyes widened in surprise, looking at this boy in his early twenties, wondering where he got so much money, "You...?"

"It's true, I didn't lie to you." Seeing his unbelief, Yu Xun continued: "Brother Xiaoshu, you should be able to tell that I am not poor, but I am pushed a little hard by my enemies. I have now contacted The family is gone, so the matter will be resolved soon. Your life will return to peace again. "

Zhou Xiaoshu was stunned again, "Are you... leaving?" Hearing what Yu Xun said, he couldn't help feeling a little sad, "Xiao Fei and your brother's injuries are still not healed, why don't you stay longer?"

"Why, Brother Xiaoshu is reluctant to part with us? Do you want to move? Come with me?" Yu Xun blinked a pair of big eyes shining brightly, and began to seduce people in broad daylight.

Bei Yaofei snorted unhappily, and Yu Xun hurriedly suppressed his salivation, and said with a smile: "Brother Xiaoshu, my family owns a medicine shop. Seeing that you have a little research on herbal medicine, why don't you go back with me? You are ours." Benefactor, the wages will not be owed to you, food and shelter are included, what do you think?"

Zhou Xiaoshu frowned, and thought a few times, "It's fine if my mother agrees. Also, I have to wait for my woman to come back and ask her opinion."

"Okay, no problem!" Yu Xun was happy. He had seen Zhou Xiaoshu's ability to identify medicines. He could sort a yard of messy herbs into categories and dry them properly in half a day.Although he didn't know much about it, Bei Yaofei had told him in private that Zhou Xiaoshu was a good student of medicine.

"Xiao Xun, the chicken is ready, you can make soup." Cook Xiao opened the kitchen door and walked back to the house with a blank expression.

Yu Xun let out an "oh", smiled at Zhou Xiaoshu, then turned his face to steal a scent from Bei Yaofei's lips.After successfully seeing the man blushing, he excitedly ran to the kitchen, and then was petrified by the chicken feathers all over the kitchen...
