There was a hint of fear on the little girl's face as she whispered, "You'll be bullied."
Su Jiaojiao looked at her seriously. The last time they met, she didn't see her face clearly. She only recognized her from her hair and figure.
This child's name was Ji Xuan. He was 16 years old this year and his grandfather was Ji Zhengfeng. Song Qinghan found out two days ago that Ji Zhengfeng used to be a university professor who taught history. He also liked to draw and was very famous for his Chinese paintings. It was once difficult for others to get their hands on his paintings. However, after his death, he ended up here.
In the past, Su Jiaojiao didn't care about anything else in the village. She always felt that she would leave in the future.
However, after knowing this, Su Jiaojiao didn't regret helping this person.
It would be a loss if such an old man really died.
They had suffered for many years and wanted to help them. Su Jiaojiao didn't want to suddenly go over. The money she borrowed should be enough, so she didn't think about it anymore. Now that she met him again …
She looked at the face that was dirty from the pot and couldn't hide his exquisite facial features. This child was a little thin and a little out of shape. However, his bone structure was still beautiful and his skin was white. It should be a surprise to take care of him normally.
If he was clean, he could be called a little beauty.
There was never a lack of disgusting wretched men in this world. Even at a time when the crime of being a pervert was very serious, there were still many people who couldn't control their restless hearts. They were no different from beasts.
Ji Xuan seemed to be shy from being stared at. He pursed his lips and smiled, saying softly, "Sister …"
Su Jiaojiao looked at him again and smiled, "Get in the car. Sit in the back. I'll take you to town."
Ji Xuan nodded happily, "Thank you, sister."
She nimbly climbed into the car. Her beautiful peach blossom eyes were slightly serious. She carefully protected the basket on her back and didn't dare to touch other places, afraid that she would dirty it. She crossed her legs and hooked them on the loose straw sandals.
Looking at her limbs, they were quite slender.
She was 16 years old and looked thin and weak. When she got closer, she realized that she was actually as tall as her.
Su Jiaojiao's gaze swept past those thick black eyebrows. She also got in the car and started riding.
It was a little tiring to carry another person, but it was okay. She rode at a moderate speed and there was no one around. She asked softly, "Do you want to change your appearance?"
She was thinking that this girl had some heroic spirit between her eyebrows and looked like a beautiful man from forty years later. If she could cut her hair short and look more like a boy, she would not be mistreated when she went out.
Even if she didn't want to admit it, girls always encountered more danger than boys when they went out. Most people wouldn't think much of a boy if he was a little prettier. Although there were perverted men and women who wouldn't let them go, their numbers were much smaller.
Girls, on the other hand, were different. If someone were to take a fancy to them, their whole life would be over.
But when she asked, she didn't expect the matchmaker system to answer her first. [Ding! Mission 17 has been triggered. Madam Host, your husband hasn't cut his hair for nearly four months. Too long hair will affect his eyesight. Please personally help your husband cut his hair short. Reward: 1 set of premium shampoo and conditioner (with an alluring fragrance), 7 Constitution Cultivation Pills.]
Su Jiaojiao's eyelids twitched. When she saw the mission's content, she sighed in relief.
Fortunately, this mission was simple. It wasn't as shameful as the previous mission. The mission reward was generous. Seven pills for her brother, sister-in-law, and three nephews was not bad.
Ji Xuan, who was sitting in the back seat, didn't notice anything unusual. She had a happy smile on her face. She trusted Su Jiaojiao very much. Ten yuan wasn't something that could be casually taken out. Moreover, she was also a girl. So, when she heard her question, she immediately answered obediently, "What kind of appearance?"
"A boy's appearance. Cut your hair short and look like a boy." Su Jiaojiao grinned. "Your facial features are pretty. Even if you cover them up, you can still see that you're a pretty girl. Why don't you become a boy and dirty your face a little? Even if people think you're pretty, they won't think too much."
She was just saying it, but Ji Xuan immediately nodded her head with sparkling eyes. When she realized that the other party couldn't see, she quickly said, "Sister is right! Then I'll cut my hair when we get back. "
She really felt that Su Jiaojiao's suggestion was a good idea. She hated her identity as a girl. It was inconvenient for her to do anything.
Su Jiaojiao: "It's not good to cut your hair yourself. I'll take you to the barber later. Thank you for the firewood for these two days. It's on me."
"No need, no need. This is what I should do. I don't have the money to pay you now. This is the interest …"
Ji Xuan hurriedly waved her hands.
However, Su Jiaojiao made the decision unilaterally.
Ji Xuan's face was bitter. Looking at her back, she couldn't help but smile. This sister of hers was really good.
Su Jiaojiao asked, "How's your grandfather?"
"He's already a lot better. The doctor said that he just needs to take care of himself and not move around. He'll recover in a month or two." Ji Xuan said crisply, "Sister, this time I'm bringing something to sell. I should be able to sell it for a few yuan. After I sell it, I'll come find you and we'll go to the barber together, okay?"
"Okay." Su Jiaojiao smiled and talked to her about other things.
The two of them chatted together. Time passed much faster than before.
When they arrived in town, the two of them agreed on a place to meet up and then went their separate ways.
Su Jiaojiao first went to the supply and demand cooperative to buy some daily necessities. Then, with the help of the matchmaker system, she avoided the patrolling guards and ran to the black market to buy rabbits from people on the streets.
At this time, there were also domestic rabbits that were specially bred. They didn't taste as good as wild rabbits and their meat was more tender. However, these people all hid and were difficult to find.
Fortunately, she had a cheating device.
Rabbit meat was slightly more expensive than pork. Su Jiaojiao's hands were loose and she directly bought three. After spending a few yuan, she was finally satisfied and prepared to leave.
However, when she turned the corner on the other side of the alley, a familiar figure appeared in front of her eyes. However, the other person didn't see her. Ji Xuan seemed to be making a deal with someone. After she gave away the things in her basket, she received a sum of money.
Looking at the way they were talking, it seemed different from the shy girl in front of her.
Looking at the money in her hand, Ji Xuan's tense and cold face finally relaxed a little. A trace of a smile appeared on her face, but it quickly faded. She brushed her hair twice and turned to leave with the empty basket.
However, after taking two steps, she noticed that someone was looking at her from the opposite side of the road.
Her eyebrows jumped. She pretended not to notice and looked out of the corner of her eye. When she saw that person, her face froze. She turned her face and squeezed out a fawning smile on her dirty little face.
Su Jiaojiao smiled helplessly and shook her head. She lifted her chin slightly and motioned for her to go to the meeting place.
Only then did Ji Xuan breathe a sigh of relief.
Looking at the young man with short hair, his peach blossom eyes were full of tenderness. His thick eyebrows blew away these feelings and added a bit of heroic spirit. Because she was thin and weak, the lines on her cheeks were much colder. Her chin was sharp and her body was slender. Her face was still dirty, but her facial features were still beautiful, but she lacked a bit of femininity.
Her hair was only about two centimeters short, revealing her beautiful neck and white ears.
The young man was quite uncomfortable. He fiddled with his ears unnaturally with an awkward expression. However, he carefully looked at Su Jiaojiao, afraid that her expression would change.
Su Jiaojiao pushed the cart and slowly walked out of the town with Ji Xuan. When there was no one around, he started to ride. He let her sit in the back seat and whispered, "You're quite brave."
Ji Xuan pursed his lips and smiled. He lowered his head awkwardly and sadly. "I want money, but grandpa won't let me. I usually go to the community to exchange, but it's different now."
The value of the things exchanged at the community was much lower, but the black market was not allowed. Most people could only obediently exchange. However, they were now in a desperate situation and owed a lot of debt. She couldn't help but take the risk.
Su Jiaojiao asked curiously, "Did you encounter any patrols when you were doing this?"
"Twice. As long as you run fast enough, it's fine." Ji Xuan saw that she didn't look down on him or oppose him. Instead, she seemed to be on his side. He immediately relaxed and said softly, "I found out the pattern of their patrols. They also seem to go to the black market to exchange. Under normal circumstances, they turn a blind eye to it. Only those who are really crazy will be caught."
"Oh." Su Jiaojiao blinked. "Aren't you afraid?"
"No." Ji Xuan said seriously, "My grandpa is more afraid, but I'm not. I'm about to die, so it's useless to be afraid. Besides, I always come here in advance to discuss the time, place, and amount of the transaction. It's done quickly …"
As Ji Xuan spoke, it became like he was presenting a treasure. He kept talking about his plan.
She didn't go there to try her luck. She had already figured out many of the hidden rules. She also knew a few of the contacts. As long as she discussed it first, the transaction would be done quickly. Basically, it would take less than a minute to complete the transaction.
It was a little troublesome, but it was cautious enough.
Su Jiaojiao listened to her story and was impressed.
She was a coward and didn't dare to do anything. Seeing how powerful Ji Xuan was, she couldn't help but click her tongue.
However, as they talked, Ji Xuan deviated. "Sister, I found a patch of ripe chestnuts on the mountain. I plan to give them to you the next time I go. Do you want me to give you some too? There are a lot of chestnuts. "
"On the mountain? You dare to go up there? "Su Jiaojiao was even more surprised.
There were wolves and wild boars on the mountain. There were also many carnivores.
Most people didn't dare to go up, except for a few hunters. Later on, the country owned the mountain and private individuals couldn't hunt as they pleased. There were even fewer hunters. Only a few people, such as Su Zhengyang, dared to go up secretly.
Later on, when Song Qinghan's leg recovered, he wanted to go hunting secretly. However, he was rejected by Su Jiaojiao. In the future, they couldn't hunt wild animals. Although they were in a different era now, they didn't lack food and drink. There was no need to put in the effort.
Ji Xuan nodded. "Yes, I can run very fast and I can climb trees. I even met a wolf once, but it didn't do anything to me. Wolves are afraid of people and fire …"
This time, Su Jiaojiao really admired him from the bottom of her heart.
He was such a bold, smart, and cautious person. Her little suppressed thoughts began to stir. "Little friend, how about we cooperate? You give me the chestnuts and I'll make them into sugar-fried chestnuts, chestnut cakes, and other things. You can sell them and we'll split the money 20-80. You'll get 80%. "
"Really?" Ji Xuan immediately became excited. His hand that was tugging on her clothes tightened. She had always had ideas, but unfortunately, she didn't have a real home and couldn't really do anything. She could only dry some mushrooms and medicinal herbs to pay back the money.
"Really!" Su Jiaojiao nodded and sped up a little. She was also a little excited. "I can make a lot of food. As long as I have the ingredients, I'll make it for you! For example, roast chicken, roast duck, steamed buns, and all kinds of desserts. Western and Chinese desserts, I can make them all … "
Ji Xuan's eyes became brighter and brighter. When she finished, Ji Xuan said very seriously, "Let's cooperate!"
