Chapter 141 The Ambitious Shanwa and the Forgotten Little Tiger
"Selling big steamed buns, steamed buns!"
"Selling big steamed buns, steamed buns!"
The next morning, the sky was clear and the sun shone through the clouds onto the earth.
The shops in Taiping County are gradually becoming lively, with pedestrians bustling and hawking constantly happening.
The courtyard where Shen Qing lived was not far from the downtown area. He woke up leisurely early in the morning when he heard the cries outside the courtyard.
He sat up from the bed and stretched, feeling the comfort and tranquility he had not seen for a long time.
Shen Qing casually grabbed his clothes from the end of the bed and put them on his body, opened the door and walked out.
At this time, outside the house, uncle Shen Er and aunt were already awake, each doing chores.
Compared with the excitement when they first came yesterday, both of them were much calmer at this time, and even started to show some boredom.
There is nothing you can do about it. It will happen when you are free in a new environment.
Shen Qing was wondering whether he should find something for his uncle and aunt to do in the future, such as selling some cooking cakes to make a living.
"Qingzi, are you awake?" Uncle Shen Er was sitting on a stone chair with a whetstone on his lap, polishing arrow clusters.
Shen Qing smiled and said: "Uncle, did you get used to sleeping last night?"
"Okay." Uncle Shen Er subconsciously glanced at his aunt, looking particularly good: "We have never lived in such a good house before. Shanba has his own bed, so he doesn't have to squeeze in with us anymore. It’s a bed, very comfortable.”
"That's good, where is Shanwa?" Shen Qing looked around and asked.
"I fed your horse in the morning. Now there are two horses in the house, and there is not enough fodder. Do you think you want to sell that horse?" Uncle Shen Er raised his head and said.
Shen Qing said: "Don't sell it now, maybe it can be used in the future."
He is not short of money right now, and he can still afford two horses.
Shen Qing walked to the stable and saw Shanwa combing the horse's hair. He was not as tall as the horse, but he was very skilled in sitting up.
He asked in surprise: "Shanba, when did you learn how to serve a horse?"
Shanwa stopped moving his hands and said, "Brother, are you up?"
"I learned this from an old master in the outer city. I heard that he used to be a stable herdsman and was very good at raising horses. At that time, I was raising old horses, and I asked him a lot for his advice."
He walked outside the stable and said seriously to Shen Qing: "Brother Qingzi, your black horse is really a good horse. It is estimated that it will not be a problem to run thousands of miles a day. Such a horse cannot just eat grass. It has to be fed with eggs, soybean meal, and salt." , I have to feed almost one stone of millet every day.”
"Hey, I didn't expect you knew a lot." Shen Qing looked at Shanwa, who was four years younger than him, in surprise: "If you know this, I will give your uncle some money later and you can go to the market. Let’s buy some.”
"Okay, I will definitely raise the fat horse like you, Brother Qingzi."
When we lived in Hongshan Village, everyone didn't have enough to eat, so Shanba was stunted and looked a little thin.
However, since Shen Qing started to gain momentum, the conditions of his uncle's family have improved at a speed visible to the naked eye, and Shanwa's body has become stronger day by day, no longer as numb as before.
Shen Qing smiled and asked, "How is your martial arts training going?"
"I don't know, I just feel the energy in my body and my strength is much stronger." Shen Xiaoshan lowered his head and felt it.
Shen Qing said: "You can feel the Qi and blood now. Keep practicing, eat well, and drink well. Maybe it won't be long before you can complete the Qi and blood and become a real martial artist."
Shen Xiaoshan's eyes lit up and he said, "Really?"
"Of course it's true. When you feed the horses in the future, you should also buy more refined grains, rice and meat. You can eat it freely. Your brother and I can still afford this ration."
The feed that good horses eat is refined grain, which is sometimes better than that fed by humans. Therefore, many horse herders from wealthy families are fat and poor.
Shen Xiaoshan is a motivated person.
He probably saw his eldest brother Shen Xiaohu hanging around him and showing signs of getting ahead, so he was unwilling to lag behind and wanted to get ahead.
Early in the morning, he came over to feed the horses, maybe to eat the horse feed, and to exercise himself secretly.
He even thought about it secretly, studied horse breeding knowledge, and worked hard to gain a skill, instead of relying on Shen Qing for every idea.
This kind of character is very rare in a poor ravine like Hongshan Village.
Shen Qing appreciated it very much.
After seeing what Shan Wa meant, he naturally wouldn't stop him.
Not only don’t stop it, but also provide more support.
It just so happened that now that he had some capital, he might be able to bring some tonics back to nourish Shan Wa and speed up the progress of tempering his Qi and blood.
When the two brothers grow up in the future, it will also be a great help to him.
After all, they are all blood relatives in the family. In this world, they are definitely more reliable than others.
Thinking of this, Shen Qing suddenly realized a problem.
Where is Xiaohu?
It seems they forgot to notify him when they moved. Where did he go to rest last night?
Shen Qing's expression became strange.
He quickly washed up briefly and walked out of the room.
After watching Shen Qing leave, his uncle Shen Er glanced at his aunt Wang and said, "Mom, when the kids and the others are all asleep at night and there is no one else in the room, how about we chirp again?"
Aunt Wang glared at Uncle Shen Er and said, "Look at your virtue. If you have the ability, you would poke me right now."
Uncle Shen Er carefully looked over at the stables and glared at Aunt Wang.
"Moving to a new house, I didn't expect you to become more polite." Aunt Wang directly grabbed uncle Shen Er's arm: "Come on, follow me into the house."
Bang!
In broad daylight, the door to the wing slammed shut.
After passing through several familiar streets, Shen Qing arrived at Linfeng Hall and strode in.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Shen Xiaohu standing in the outer courtyard, striding forward, frowning, looking into the distance from time to time, obviously worried about something.
Shen Qing breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that no one was missing.
He quickened his pace, came to Shen Xiaohu, and asked softly: "Xiaohu, what's wrong? You look sad."
When Shen Xiaohu heard Shen Qing's voice, he turned around suddenly, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He hurriedly grabbed Shen Qing's arm, his voice trembling with tears, "Brother Qing, you're here! Something big has happened!"
Shen Qing was infected by Shen Xiaohu's nervous expression and became nervous.
He patted the back of Shen Xiaohu's hand and told him to calm down: "Don't be impatient. Speak slowly. What happened?"
Shen Xiaohu took a deep breath, calmed down, and then whispered: "I went home last night and found that my parents, Shanwa, and Sister Fang were all gone! The house was completely empty! It must have been by someone. Damn it."
Shen Qing couldn't help but smile, and suddenly felt that this child was a bit pitiful.
"Brother, what's wrong with you? Talk!"
Shen Qing said: "Xiaohu, you are a big boss now. Can you not cry when things happen in the future?"
