Chapter 11 I am the beacon, guiding life

Qiao E was whispering, why she was wronged at home, because she was a woman, she looked dark and ugly, and she was very edible, and had a bad temper... As she said that, she casually stroked the wall with her fingers.

"I eat a lot, but I do a lot. I carry water and farm, hunt and chop firewood, even men can't compare to me. But they just look down on me. They make my family angry, so I won't go back for a few days. And... so, so, so, so, I still think of me. Taoist priest, you said, it's theirs or mys."

Indignation, Qiao E's hand was not heavy, and she drew a stroke, and the dust on the wall fell. After saying that, she stopped and there were several grooves about an inch deep on the wall.

Although the kitchen house is built with adobe, it is quite sturdy. If you have to use your fingers to mark a ditch on it, who can do it?

Meng Jiucheng's eyes almost fell to the ground, stunned, and was shocked for a moment. After a while, he took a breath of air conditioning and said repeatedly: "It's all about the wife, it's all about the wife. These people don't understand the truth, they really misled the wife."

Qiao E let out a long sigh, looked at Meng Jiucheng, and nodded with a silly smile, "It's still the Taoist priest who understands the truth. After saying this, I feel much more happy."

You are such a fool, and you call yourself a slave, you get goosebumps. Silly girl, let me be a beacon, a helmman, and guide your life!

Meng Jiucheng's eyes turned and began to seduce him again, "Madam Qiao, if you want to make a name for yourself, be prosperous and wealthy, I think you can only plan from your ability."

Qiao E frowned, scratched her head, and asked in confusion: "Can you be rich and prosperous by hunting?"

"The same ability depends on where it is used." Meng Jiucheng said while thinking: "Like me, I think about getting rich and honor immediately. Troubled times have come, and those with courage should make achievements and gallop on the battlefield. How can they waste their time and die in the mountains?"

Qiao E looked ignorant, and shook her head again after a while, "But I am a woman, how can I accept it? If it doesn't work, it won't work!"

If you don’t look in the mirror, how can you look like a woman?

Meng Jiucheng rolled his eyes, grinned and said, "When the time comes, I will give you a guide. Don't underestimate the woman. That Mulan and the heroine like Liang Hongyu are famous in history!"

"Okay, you can give me the way, I want to make a fortune, too." Qiao E clenched her fists and waved her, "Eat a full meal every day, live in a large house, and there are still people to serve her?"

"That's for sure, why would you call the general?" Meng Jiucheng raised his eyebrows, "Go out and ride a horse in a sedan chair, rushing in front and behind; go home and delicacies, order whatever you want..."

With a gurgle, Qiao E's saliva sounded very much, which shows that she was most concerned about.

"I also want to be a general, not to endure hard in this valley." Da Chou, who was burning fire in a muffled voice, made his face light and dark, as if showing that his mood was not calm.

Meng Jiucheng smiled bitterly. In front of Qiao E, he didn't dare to say anything about life and death. He just faced the ugly gaze and reached out to pat his partner's shoulder.

…………….

The meat that was stewed fragrant, the soup that was hot, and the pancakes were mixed with aroma and heat. It was already afternoon and after early meals. Several people were hungry, sitting or standing, and eating happily.

Meng Jiucheng estimated that the whole pot of food would not be enough, so he stewed meat in the kitchen pot. Xiaowei didn't eat much, and her energy recovered most of her energy. She sensiblely went to add firewood to burn fire. Sanming didn't have much appetite, so she went to the kitchen to help.

Although others were hungry, they still knew how to be polite and reserved. Only Qiao E saw the food, her eyes shone and thanked her. She picked up the wooden ladle, took a basin, and ate it with a pancake.

Meng Jiucheng and others didn't feel it at first. After a long time, they couldn't help but notice her eating and drinking, and even slowed down.

After a while, Qiao E ate completely, and seemed to be still feeling unsatisfied.

Meng Jiucheng blinked and thought to himself: This guy is even bigger than his belly. He used to be self-deprecating without a teacher. The five-character secret of success is "specially able to endure hardships", and he has mastered the four-character "specially able to eat". Now it seems that "specially able to eat" should undoubtedly be Qiao E's title.

Everyone else was full, Meng Jiucheng deliberately put down his chopsticks and said, "I'll wait a moment, Madam Qiao--" He made a gesture and signaled Qiao E to continue.

Oh, Qiao E only humbled her for a moment, then she was not polite, and she drew her bows left and right, and ate the rest of the food like a wind and cloud.

It was not long since Xiaowei and Sanming brought food again. This time the meat was cut into pieces. It was cooked but not rotten, which was quite consuming.

Meng Jiucheng put a bowl of rice cakes, took a pancake, and thought that he could eat enough, so he gave the rest to Qiao E.

When he was young, Qiao E ate again in the astonished eyes of everyone. This time, she seemed a little overwhelmed and burped her whole body.

Meng Jiucheng grinned as he looked at him. Could it be that this guy is a sting? No wonder his family has any objections. How much does it have to pay to raise this guy?

After dinner, Meng Jiucheng asked several women to go to the inner room to rest first, and he and Mu Yi and others discussed things outside.

"A family saw a lot of rice and food in China, but dozens of people could not last for a few days." Mu Yi expressed his concern for the future, "It was cold and the robbers were scared out of fear. Refugees may not dare to go down the mountain to rush the road in the short term."

Chen Daotong looked at Mu Yi. Although he didn't say anything, it was his intention to not go down the mountain for the time being.

"My master asked me to watch, so I bought enough rice and grain in advance, enough for me to eat for three months." Meng Jiucheng pondered for a moment and said, "Lingyang Town is closest to this, so I can send someone to inquire tomorrow. If I have not been robbed by robbers, I can ask everyone to raise money and go to buy grain."

"Lingyang is so big and there are so many people living there. How dare you rob dozens of robbers rob?" In the eyes of Da Chou, the mountain kid, Lingyang is more than ten times larger than the small mountain village he lives in, but I don't know that cities larger than Lingyang cannot survive in troubled times.

"This—" Meng Jiucheng didn't want to talk a long way to spread the geography knowledge to Shanliwa, so he changed the topic, "Buy grain, settle down, and wait until tomorrow. At present, I think we should organize everyone and don't just run away! Let's get a mess of soldiers and robbers, and everyone can resist..."

Before he finished speaking, there was a chaotic noise outside, and he could vaguely hear the exclamation of "the rioters are coming".

Meng Jiucheng's face changed, he jumped off the bed, and everyone also got up quickly.
