Chapter 93 Qian Family Village
Chapter 93 Qianjia Village
The ringing of the bell made Jiang Chenqi feel peaceful. Breathing in the cold air of the wilderness, she seemed to blend into the boundless night, forgetting the blood feud she carried.
The invisible barrier in the dark night was broken, Jiang Chenqi's heart tightened, and she opened her eyes wide and looked around.
Discovering a sudden change in the surrounding scenery, they moved from the wilderness to the outer edge of the forest. Although it was dark and visibility was low, Commander Jiang could clearly tell the difference between the wilderness and the forest.
Fireflies hiding in the grass and trees were awakened by the sound of bells and flew in the air, emitting dots of soft light.
There are more and more fireflies, gathering into a yellow river, pointing the way for pedestrians returning home late.
Jiang Chenqi showed a faint smile. She didn't expect that there were fireflies here. She lowered her voice and spoke to Mr. Hou, "I like fireflies very much. I like these small flying insects. They glow like stars and fly in the air as if they are dancing.
.”
Xie Jinghuai guessed the season and felt something was wrong. He was not in the mood to appreciate the dancing of fireflies. He lowered his voice and replied: "Commander Jiang, have you forgotten that it is late autumn and grasshoppers cannot jump for a few days? It is not the time when fireflies are active. I met a single person by the river.
There are countless fireflies, just three or five lying on the grass without any atmosphere, and they can be gathered together wherever they are."
Jiang Chenqi frowned, found something suspicious, and stretched out her hand to feel the direction of the wind.
The late night breeze in autumn was slightly cool, and the breeze passing through her palms was warm, like a summer evening breeze.
The donkey cart passed through the forest, crossed the thick stone bridge, and finally reached its destination.
Several kittens meowed happily. If they were not afraid of the mother cat's sharp claws, they would jump down and run around.
Xie Jinghuai jumped off the donkey cart and helped Jiang Chenqi out of the car, looking around. Unexpectedly, the rural villages were willing to use lanterns, and lanterns were hung under the eaves of every house.
I don’t know where they buy their candles, and the light illuminates the road in front of their home.
Uncle Qian did not take the guests home, but brought them to an empty house. "You two guests have a good rest. It's too late. Eat some fruit to satisfy your hunger. There are fruit trees in the yard."
Yawning and leaving, Uncle Qian has been on the road, working harder than Jiang and Chenqi.
After taking down the lantern under the eaves, Jiang Chenqi opened the wooden door and entered the house. She didn't rush to observe the residence and pulled Xie Jinghuai to pick fruits.
The red fruit exudes a light fragrance and tastes like lychee. Jiang Chenqi ate seven or eight of them in a row. "If it weren't for the core, it would have felt like eating a large lychee. This is the first time I have seen and tasted this kind of fruit.
Mr. Hou, have you eaten it?"
Xie Jinghuai had a better appetite than Commander Jiang. He ate more than ten fruits and shook his head to express that he had never eaten them before. "People in the village can pick the fruits and sell them in the city. Fruits similar to lychees are easy to sell. This kind of fruit can satisfy your hunger. Second Uncle Qian
We were not fooled."
Walking forward with a lantern in hand, Jiang Chenqi stopped at the door of the hall and carefully admired the paintings on the door. "It seems that people in the village like cats very much. Look at the many cats carved on the door. Each one is carved lifelike. These little people
It should be the human race, they hunt with the big cats."
Xie Jinghuai smiled happily, pointed at the big cat and said: "The carving is a bit exaggerated. It is unreasonable to draw a cat so big when it is a small person."
When I entered the main room, I found nothing unusual. This house was almost like an ordinary house. There were pictures of cats on the walls and cat ornaments could be seen everywhere. Other than that, everything was normal.
Carrying a red lantern and walking into the guest room to rest, Jiang Chenqi soon fell asleep and had a good sleep without waking up during the night.
Early the next morning, Jiang Chenqi was awakened by the chirping of birds outside the window. She got up and stretched. She carefully looked at the furnishings in the room and found that most of them were wooden furniture, with several clay cat ornaments placed on the table.
When Jiang Chenqi opened the door and saw an unfamiliar environment, her first reaction was surprise. She didn't expect the fruit trees in the courtyard to be so tall.
Xie Jinghuai stood under the tree, far away from the lowest branches.
When Xie Jinghuai heard the door open, he waved to Jiang Chenqi and said in a solemn tone: "There is something wrong with this village. This fruit tree is very big and it is not an exaggeration to say it is a towering tree. I went out for a walk and found that there are many similar big trees.
. You must know that big trees are very valuable. If there are big trees in the country, they will cut them down and sell them for money, and they will not let them grow."
What’s even more strange is that they are located in a canyon. Surrounded by undulating mountains, the village is located in a basin at the bottom of the mountain. Towering trees can be seen everywhere on the mountain. Birds that move around are seen for the first time, and there are countless strange flowers and plants.
.
Jiang Chenqi smiled slightly and told Mr. Hou not to worry, "You have forgotten the new knowledge we have learned. Just take care of it as you come. I hope you will gain something from this trip to the countryside."
Uncle Qian stood outside the door and knocked on the door. He handed the food box to Xie Jinghuai who opened the door. "My mother-in-law made a light meal. You two don't mind having something to eat. I will let the children at home take you around in a while. The scenery in the village will be like
It’s different elsewhere, just walk around and relax.”
Xie Jinghuai would not dislike the simple meals in the countryside. Xie Jinghuai thanked his second uncle Qian who came to deliver the meals and put the food box on the stone table in the courtyard. "I heard that the conditions in the countryside are poor. People don't have oil and water in their meals. They eat whatever they have at home. If you
I feel that the food is not to my taste, so I pick some fruits to satisfy my hunger."
Countless red fruits hung on the branches above his head. Xie Jinghuai regarded them as lychees in his heart. Eating lychees to satisfy his hunger was a luxury.
Xie Jinghuai was slightly stunned when he opened the lunch box and saw a large bowl of ginseng chicken soup. He smiled and said, "Uncle Qian is so polite. He killed the chickens at home to entertain the guests. He is such a warm countryman."
The next dish is braised fish, and at the bottom are two bowls of white rice and two pairs of chopsticks.
The Marquis felt that the people in the countryside were real, "We have to give money to eat, and they serve us good meals. It's unreasonable not to give us money."
Jiang Chenqi nodded slightly, feeling that the food brought by Uncle Qian was good and felt their hospitality.
Picking out a two-finger-wide piece of ginseng from the chicken soup, Jiang Chenqi frowned and said: "No wonder the chicken soup has a strong ginseng flavor. Why does Aunt Qian put ginseng in cooking? There is no need to be so generous when entertaining guests. If this ginseng is sold in a hospital, it can
It sells for a lot of money."
Xie Jinghuai was surprised by the taste of the fish. He could not feel any fishy smell. There were no traces of scales on the fish. It was a fish without scales.
After eating a good breakfast, Jiang Chenqi cleaned the dishes and put them in the food box.
Qian Xiaobao opened the door and entered the house. When he saw the stranger, he smiled and said hello, "You are the guests that grandpa calls you, you look the same as the people here."
Jiang Chenqi smiled happily, "It doesn't matter where you are from, there won't be much difference in appearance. What is the name of your grandson, Second Uncle Qian? My name is Zhou Yongan, and this is my friend Beiming."
Qian Xiaobao introduced himself with a smile and went out with two guests who had come from afar.
After leaving her residence and walking in the village, Jiang Chenqi discovered that there were many cats in the village.
Each one is lazy, bigger than a tabby cat, and looks like it cannot wake up.
