Go back to ancient times and marry a widow

The next day, just as the sky turned white, Qi Wensheng put on a bunt and left the house.

He walked all the way, doing simple stretching exercises all the way. Qi Wensheng wanted to exercise his body. For now, having a good body is his most solid backing here.

In the early morning, the air in the village was exceptionally fresh. Qi Wensheng used the abdominal breathing method to exhale the stale air in his body, and then inhaled fresh air. After a few slow back and forth, he suddenly felt relaxed and clear-headed. few.

Qi Wensheng started jogging along a small trail by the side of the mountain. After about ten minutes, he ran into a forest, and he heard the sound of someone chopping firewood not far away.

Qi Wensheng didn't pay much attention, he glanced towards the side where the voice came from while running, but this glance immediately made him turn his feet in the direction.

"Qiuxi!" Qi Wensheng shouted, with a little joy in his voice.

Qiu Xi, who was chopping firewood over there, turned his head and saw that it was Qi Wensheng running towards him with a smile on his face. He stood up straight and forgot to answer for a moment.

Qi Wensheng ran to the front, looked behind Qiuxi, and said in surprise: "You brought the child to cut firewood?" After speaking, he realized that his words seemed a bit rash. Qiuxi was alone, who can take care of the child for him.

Fortunately, Qiuxi didn't mind, he said "hmm", and then asked Qi Wensheng, "Why are you here?" He saw that Qi Wensheng was in good spirits, and there was no gloomy shadow in his body.

"I'm out to exercise." Qi Wensheng said and took the ax from Qiu Xi's hand, "Let me help you."

"No need, I've almost finished chopping today." Qiuxi hid the hand holding the axe. It's not that he didn't appreciate Qi Wensheng's kindness, but no one had ever helped him like this before, which made him feel embarrassed .

Qi Wensheng didn't notice the change in Qiu Xi's complexion. He glanced at the large bundle of branches on the ground, bent down and picked up a few scattered branches around Qiu Xi and tied them up. Said: "Then let me carry the firewood back for you."

Qiuxi was already dazed by Qi Wensheng's act of tidying up the branches just now. Now that Qi Wensheng said he would help him, his cheeks were slightly hot, and he hurriedly said, "No, no need, I can do it myself."

Qi Wensheng didn't think that Qiuxi could do it, how could a person hold the child and carry this large bundle of firewood on his back.Besides, if Qiuxi can really do it, can it be said that he is still suffering from watching Qiuxi like this?

"It's okay, I'm also exercising anyway... hey hey..." Qi Wensheng bent over to carry the firewood on his back as he spoke, but he really overestimated himself, ah no, it was the original owner's physical fitness.

As soon as he carried the firewood on his back, Qi Wensheng felt a huge weight on his back pulling him backwards. He quickly swung his arms and tried to control his body forward.

Seeing this, Qiu Xi hurriedly dropped the ax and reached out to pick up Qi Wensheng.But he was still some distance away from Qi Wensheng, and his fingers only had time to brush Qi Wensheng's sleeve.

Hearing "Oops", Qi Wensheng immediately lay on his back on the pile of firewood, grinning his teeth and taking a long breath.

"Are you alright?" Qiu Xi squatted on the ground, her voice trembling, don't let Qi Wensheng fall again.

"No, it's okay." Qi Wensheng secretly gritted his teeth and endured the pain in his back. Compared to this, he felt more ashamed.

"I'll help you up first." Qiuxi supported Qi Wensheng's elbow, carefully pulled Qi Wensheng up, and helped him remove the firewood from his back.

Seeing that the clothes on Qi Wensheng's back were scratched in two places, Qiuxi said anxiously and embarrassedly, "Are you okay? Your clothes are all torn."

Qi Wensheng felt that it was all his own fault for wanting to show off his abilities. He clearly controlled a body that was comparable to that of a sick man, but he still thought that he was a strong and powerful man in real life.

"It's okay, it doesn't matter, I'm planning to wear this clothes and throw them away." Qi Wensheng hurriedly comforted Qiuxi, it was his fault, which made Qiuxi seem to have done something wrong.

Seeing that Qiu Xi was still worried, Qi Wensheng directly gave Qiu Xi two chest-expanding exercises, and regardless of the wound on his back that was scratched by the branches, he said with a wry smile: "Look, it's all right Son."

Qiuxi nodded, still feeling a little sorry in her heart, after all, Qi Wensheng fell down because he was kind enough to help him.

Qi Wensheng saw Qiuxi bent over to pick up the scattered firewood with the child on his back, and he felt embarrassed while watching, but if he wanted to help again, it would still add to the chaos.It happened that the child on Qiuxi's back started crying, Qi Wensheng hurried forward and said, "Hold the child for me, is he uncomfortable like this?"

Qiuxi untied the cloth belt tied around his waist, and Qi Wensheng caught the child behind him, Qiuxi said, "I should be hungry."

Qi Wensheng asked the child to lie on his arms sideways. He held the child, slowly twisted his upper body from side to side, and muttered "Oh... oh... don't cry", when he saw the confinement wife of the neighbor's house in the past This is how to coax children.

A trace of surprise flashed in Qiu Xi's eyes, but he didn't think too much about it. He quickly packed up the firewood on the ground, knelt down and carried the firewood on his back, and then went to pick up the child in Qi Wensheng's arms.

Qi Wensheng turned sideways and said: "The mountain road is not easy to walk, I'd better take the child back for you, anyway, I'm fine." He didn't know why, but he just wanted to help Qiuxi.

Qiuxi hesitated for a moment, but facing Qi Wensheng's sincerity, he couldn't say anything to refuse, so he just nodded: "Then let's go." After saying that, he took the lead to walk on the side path.

Qi Wensheng hugged the child and followed Qiuxi, seeing Qiuxi walking like flying with such a large bundle of firewood on his back, he had no choice but to catch up with all his strength, but he admired Qiuxi in his heart.

In the original owner's few memories of Qiuxi, after being driven out by Zheng Dafu and his wife, Qiuxi made a living by chopping firewood in a small hut, and now he is raising a little baby who is waiting to be fed. The hardships of life One can imagine.

Although Qiuxi's body looks thin, he feels like he has great strength in his body. Thinking that he chops firewood every day, it is also a physical work in the wind and sun, just like the other elders in the village. They may not be able to survive this kind of hard life for many years.

Qi Wensheng originally complained about putting himself into such a body, but seeing Qiuxi still live such a positive life in adversity, he was ashamed but also felt a certain kind of encouragement, after all, he was in the current situation But it's much better than Qiuxi.

Qiuxi walked fast in front, and noticed that Qi Wensheng's footsteps behind him were getting weaker. He looked back and saw that Qi Wensheng was panting heavily, and beads of sweat were still hanging on his forehead.

Qiu Xi hurriedly slowed down, thinking to herself that she was used to walking this way, but she ignored that Qi Wensheng's body was about the same as that of the one who just had a serious illness.

The two of them were speechless all the way, and after walking like this for about two quarters of an hour, they returned to Qiuxi's thatched hut.Qiuxi pushed aside the fence on one side, and said to Qi Wensheng, "Come in and have a rest."

Qi Wensheng heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, thinking that he had arrived, if he walked for another minute, he would collapse to the ground, even if Qiu Xi didn't say anything at this time, he would have to go into the house to ask for a glass of water.

Qiuxi unloaded the firewood behind him into the corner of the courtyard, and quickly opened the door to let Qi Wensheng enter.After entering the room, Qi Wensheng sat down on the stool by the table before Qiu Xi could speak.

Qiu Xi took the baby from Qi Wensheng's arms and put it on the bed, and heard Qi Wensheng ask him behind him: "Don't you know what the little guy's name is?"

"His name is Douer." Qiu Xi poured a glass of water for Qi Wensheng, put his hands on the table, and said a little shyly: "My house is simple, so I can only let you drink some water."

"It's okay, drinking water is fine." Qi Wensheng didn't care, picked up the water glass and drank up the water in two sips.

I don't know if it's because of this bamboo cup, but Qi Wensheng felt that the water he drank was sweet and quenched his thirst. He smacked his lips and asked curiously, "Why is it so much better than my home's water?"

Seeing this, Qiu Xi couldn't help pursing her lips into a smile, and told Qi Wensheng, "This is the spring water on the back mountain."

"No wonder." Qi Wensheng also smiled. The water he drank in the past two days was boiled in a large iron pot for cooking. The water smelled like smoke.

Qiuxi poured water into the bamboo cup in front of Qi Wensheng again, and Qi Wensheng told him to leave him alone and feed the child some food first.Seeing Qiuxi making a bowl of rice porridge and feeding Douer, Qi Wensheng couldn't help feeling a little pity in his heart.

He calculated based on the original owner's memory, Dou'er should be a baby who is almost eight months old, but in his opinion, Dou'er looks like five or six months old, and there is no chubbyness on the small arms and legs. place.

In fact, it is no wonder that this is the case. Qiuxi relies on chopping firewood to solve the food and clothing of one big one and one small one. In addition, there are free branches everywhere in the mountains and plains, and no one will buy firewood from him every day.

Qi Wensheng looked around again. There were only three pieces of old furniture in the thatched hut of about [-] to [-] square meters, and there was a blue cloth furoki on one end of the wooden bed, which was probably used by Qiuxi to replace the wardrobe.

As Qiuxi said, his home is indeed simple and simple, but it is very clean. All the dishes and chopsticks are neatly placed on the table, there is a small basket with needles and threads, and there is a small half-sewn dress.

Sitting in such a room, Qi Wensheng couldn't help but feel a very comfortable and simple atmosphere, just like the feeling Qiuxi brought him, simple and kind.

When he had almost had enough rest, Qi Wensheng got up to say goodbye. He took the big bowl that Qiuxi had delivered to him that day and went down the mountain to go home. He was still thinking about helping Qiuxi more when he became capable in the future.
