I Made 300000 a Year in Ancient Times

Chapter 4: watering & shaving

The dog's arm holding the cat tightened slightly. Even if he hadn't read a book, he knew that his hair should not be cut randomly. Cutting hair was not a good thing. He even heard stories from the elders in the village that in ancient times , there was once a punishment for sinners to shave their hair.

Qu Qing's face was light, and he didn't put on a vicious expression to force them to do something, but the dog knew that he couldn't resist. This was the first day he brought the cat to this house. Qu Qing could have taken the cat. He chased him away, but he didn't. If he and the cat could stay, what's the point of cutting off their hair.

Thinking of this, he agreed without hesitation: "Okay."

Qu Qing also breathed a sigh of relief. After all, if the other party regarded his hair as more important than his life, he really didn't know what to do. He absolutely didn't want to experience the feeling of feeding lice in person.

Turning around and taking a stab at the stream with the bucket, the dog wanted to carry the water, but Qu Qing glanced at his thin body and slender wrist, slightly sideways, blocking his hand to carry the bucket. He opened his mouth to reject him, and then saw the visceral panic on his face, Qu Qing hesitated for a while, and asked him to use a wooden basin to dunk half a basin of water back together.

When the dog heard the words, the panic on his face dissipated, and then there was a faint joy.

Qu Qing understands that this man is like this because he is dependent on others and has no dependence, so he is always in a state of uncertainty, constantly looking at other people's faces and constantly doing more things to prove the value of his existence.

When he went to other people's houses when he was a child, he also had this feeling more or less, but it was not so serious.

Qu Qing casually glanced at the man who was following him a few steps behind, and saw from the corner of his eye that he didn't just fill a half-bowl with water, but filled a whole bowl, so When walking now, the water in the basin swayed and spilled a lot, and most of his clothes were wet, and the little one next to him almost had to run to catch up. After a few falls, Qu Qing noticed that he had fallen so much in one day, let alone crying, not even a drop of tears fell from him.

Does he not hurt?

Qu Qing breathed a sigh of relief, pretended to be tired and put down the wooden barrel, and then changed his hand to carry it again. When he walked again, his pace was much slower than before.

The dog really couldn't keep up with Qu Qing's footsteps at first, and the water in the basin was always spilled. While he blamed himself for his clumsiness, he didn't dare to fall behind at all. As for the cat who was struggling to follow, he I don't have the time to help, and it's not good to say something encouraging to the cat, for fear that it will make Qu Qing unhappy. After all, the cat... and Qu Qing are not related by blood, and even he is not sure now, Qu Qing What is the plan for the cat?

If...if he wanted to drive the cat away, he would never stay.

When the dog was thinking about this anxiously, when he saw that Qu Qing suddenly stopped and then walked, he was surprised to find that it was not so difficult for him to keep up, and the cat finally stopped running and walked with a little short. The legs ran desperately to keep up.

After entering the threshold, Qu Qing accelerated his pace in vain, went to the kitchen and put down the wooden bucket, then turned around and took the wooden basin for water from the man. When he got it, the weight of the wooden basin made him feel a little difficult. Suddenly secretly surprised.

Before the dog could react, his arm that was so sore that he could not hold it suddenly became lighter. He raised his head and looked at Qu Qing's back in a daze.

Seeing Qu Qing enter the kitchen, he hesitated for a moment, and wanted to help, but remembered that even in the kitchen at home, he was not allowed to enter, because he and the cat were guarded, and other people's kitchens were easily not allowed to enter. , Thinking of this, he didn't dare to follow up without authorization, and he didn't dare to enter the house. He just stood in the yard, thinking about waiting for Qu Qing to come out and give him orders. .

Qu Qing took the water and prepared the firewood. After rummaging for a long time, he found that there was neither a fire book nor a match here. He almost scratched his ears and scratched his cheeks, anxiously wishing that he had a lighter in his hand at this time.

In the end, he gave up, thinking about letting this native from outside come, he should know how to set fire.

Now he is a little fortunate that the mysterious man has given him an aboriginal roommate. Otherwise, he is a modern person who comes here with a black eye. If it is only himself, I am afraid that he will really be blinded.

Qu Qing went out and saw the man with his back to him, pulling the wet clothes on his chest and basking in the sun, while the child next to him, although his clothes were not wet, was imitating the appearance of the adults next to him. After basking in the same way, Qu Qing looked at this scene and found it very interesting, the corners of his mouth curved up slightly, and a smile appeared in his eyes, he opened his mouth and said to the person's back: "Hey, what's your name. "

The sudden sound startled the two of them, the dog immediately put down his clothes and turned around, while the cat also hid behind the dog cautiously.

Seeing how nervous they were, Qu Qing felt that he was a bit like a bandit entering the village to them. The smile in his eyes disappeared. Gouer probably realized that his behavior was a bit too much, but he didn't know what to say. He had no choice but to answer Qu Qing's question: "I...beg Hua...Hua dog, everyone in my family calls me a dog."

"Oh…"

Qu Qing thought that this name was really arbitrary. Although he had heard that poor families in ancient times would give a cheap name to their children before they grew up, it was just to help their children to support themselves, but this person looks quite big now, so why is he still called it? such a name.

He didn't express any opinion on this simple and casual name, and then turned his eyes to the child: "What's his name?"

The dog's eyes flashed with surprise, and his voice was two points higher, and he hurriedly pulled the cat to him to introduce: "His name is Mao, and he has no last name..."

Because the family didn't allow him to use the picked up child's surname and never gave him a name, he gave the cat a name very similar to himself.

Cats and dogs? Qu Qing meditated for a moment in his heart, and sighed that he was really unconcerned, and there was an air of indifference everywhere. Judging from the reaction of the middle-aged woman during the day, the status of the big and small at home was probably very low. .

"I see, then, dog, can you make a fire?"

Qu Qing's voice was calm and gentle in the ears of the dog. It was elegant and friendly. When he heard it, it was completely different from the frivolous and rude ordinary peasant. He didn't understand that he clearly hated Qu Qing so much. Man, but at this time, he felt that there was nothing wrong with him.

"Yes, I will," he nodded hastily. "I can do all the housework, and I do them well."

"Then come and burn the water."

After giving the order, the dog went in, found the flint, and lit the fire with two flexible strokes. Only then did Qu Qing know how the fire was lit here, and he thought that he must try it himself later.

After washing the cauldron and heating the water, he went out and began to rummage through boxes and cabinets again to find scissors, but after a long time of searching, let alone scissors, he didn't even see a knife, thinking that he had to cut his hair, Qu Qing finally He turned his attention to the kitchen knife.

Head cut is required.

Thinking of those lice, Qu Qing went over to pick up the kitchen knife, looked at the dull blade, then found a bowl and used the bottom of the bowl to sharpen the knife.

The dog, who was squatting next to the firewood, heard the sound of sharpening the knife. He was inexplicably frightened. He quietly raised his head and looked at Qu Qing several times. From the door, he secretly looked inside. As soon as Qu Qing went out, he ducked aside. At this time, he watched Qu Qing sharpen his knife. With one eye, he looked at the adult's movements in confusion.

After sharpening the knife, Qu Qing went to get a stool and put it in the yard. With the knife in his hand, he rolled his eyes when he saw the fearful eyes of the two of them, and squeezed all his long hair into his hands. The hair was cut from the root with a knife.

Seeing his movements, both big and small were shocked and dumbfounded.

After the hair was cut off, he felt a lot lighter on his head, but when he touched the uneven hair, he thought that he had to find a way to repair it properly, otherwise it would definitely look ugly.

He held a large handful of black hair about half a meter long that had been cut off in his hand. He thought that he was washed to death just now, and he wasted a lot of soap horns. Shave it well, otherwise he probably wouldn't have time to take care of so much. s hair. Looking at the two of them, he tried to keep his voice as gentle as possible: "Cat, dog, you two, who will come first?"

The dog blushed inexplicably when he heard his name, and then pulled the cat to him: "I'll come first."

Qu Qing nodded and asked him to sit down on the chair. Considering that in order to completely eliminate lice, there should be no chance of hiding bugs in his hair, and it would be ugly to shave it too short. He thought about it and decided to leave a finger-knuckle length. Hair starts to shave.

The dog felt his hand pick up his hair strand by strand, and watched the things that belonged to his body drift away from him. He thought he would be sad, but he looked at Qu Qing's serious face. , He found that he was not only not sad, but also faintly secretly delighted.

He shaved himself and the cat himself, and he shaved himself. Does this mean that he will not drive himself and the cat away?

When he was shaving his head, Qu Qing noticed that there was still greenness between his eyebrows, and asked curiously, "How old are you this year?"

"I...the eighteenth next month..." Speaking of this, he lowered his head and his eyes slightly. In fact, everyone in the family counted only empty years, and his mother often told him that he would soon be a nineteen-year-old. My brother, why can't I get married? He knows that he is old, and the average husband doesn't like him so old, so when he said it, he deliberately stated his age. Anyway... This is not a lie. Even so, he was still a little guilty and didn't dare to look at Qu Qing.

Qu Qing didn't know what he was thinking at all, he just sighed silently in his heart, he was only seventeen, and he was indeed only the age of a big kid.

The cat standing on the side watched curiously as Qu Qing shaves the dog's head without blinking. Perhaps it was because Qu Qing's movements were very gentle and he had never spoken ill of him, so his fear was not what it used to be. It was so intense that he even secretly looked at Qu Qing curiously.

Qu Qing raised her head to meet the cat's gaze, and gave him a kind smile.

The cat brushed the floor and buried his head on his chest again.

Qu Qing suddenly felt a little distressed, did he laugh terribly?
