74 074: going out to look for someone

Isn't it just strange clothes?!

There were many people who were plain and dressed conservatively, especially in this small place. Shorts like Kang Xiaoqiao's were definitely a reflection of her indecency. Although the one she was wearing today looked awkward, it was still acceptable.

There were also people who wore long skirts nowadays, so it was not a big deal to show off her calves.

Kang Xiaoqiao also knew that people were conservative at this time, so she could not go overboard. However, she was not a person who was willing to suffer, so...

Kang Xiaoqiao tidied up everything and put everything she needed into her backpack. That's right, Kang Xiaoqiao felt that the triangular pocket was really ugly, so she changed it into a slanted bag and made some decorations when she was bored at home.

It looked pretty good when she put it on her back.

Along the way, she met quite a number of Wilderness sisters-in-law. Kang Xiaoqiao greeted them with a smile on her face. The weather was good, and she was in a pretty good mood.

Being at home for three days, it was always a happy thing to be able to go out.

Before this, she had not observed it in detail. Now that she was in the mood, she naturally wanted to see everything.

The location of the military compound was actually quite hidden. In a small hill, the area of this small hill was very large. Moreover, the sun was abundant and there was no shelter.

With its back against the big hill, behind the big hill was the surging sea. From the sea, it was very difficult to see that such a large ministry was stationed here.

The other two sides were small hills used for training soldiers. There was only one entrance to enter and exit.

The nearest village with a doctor was four to five miles away. With Kang Xiaoqiao's speed, it would take two to three hours, and the weather was hot.

Therefore, Kang Xiaoqiao was well prepared. She brought a homemade snack with her. She was afraid that she would be hungry, so she even packed a pot of boiled water.

This water pot was specially used by Lu Yichen and the others in the ministry. It was of high quality.

At this moment, there was no parasol. Kang Xiaoqiao had no choice but to use a round fan to shade herself from the sun. It could also be used as a fan. It was also practical.

However, when she left the house, everyone looked at her strangely.

After thinking about it, it was probably because the backpack she made was too flashy, so she did not take it seriously.

This time, Kang Xiaoqiao was not so lucky to encounter an ox-cart. She really walked there. Fortunately, the sun was not particularly strong in the morning.

By the time she found the village that Wang Xuehua told her about, the sun had already risen high.

This was a relatively large village with about 200 families. When Kang Xiaoqiao reached the village entrance, she was already drenched in sweat.

There was a big willow tree at the village entrance. The tree was as thick as three people hugging each other. It was probably more than 100 years old. There was a red rope tied to it. Not far from the tree was a stone mill. Near the stone mill was a large training hall. It was covered with all kinds of small shrimps and dried fish.

At this moment, there were a few groups of people under the tree. A few old men were playing chess with a pipe in their mouths. On the other side, a few women were busy with their hands while chatting. There was also a group of children running back and forth crazily. There was a lot of shouting. It was very lively.

However, when Kang Xiaoqiao appeared, everyone stopped what they were doing and turned to look at her.

Uh...

Alright, this was inseparable from Kang Xiaoqiao's outfit. Everyone's eyes were filled with curiosity and inquiry.

Under the gaze of so many pairs of eyes, even if Kang Xiaoqiao's skin was thick, she still felt a little uncomfortable. Coincidentally, at this time, a little boy of eight or nine years old ran over.

A little boy of this age was the age that even dogs would dislike. Moreover, the little boy was dark and thin. However, his pair of big eyes were very lively, especially his small face. Although it was dark, it was very round.

His hair was also close to his scalp. It was very short. He looked very much like Brother Yixiu. He was very likable. Kang Xiaoqiao liked him just by looking at him.

The little guy was not afraid of strangers. After running around Kang Xiaoqiao, he tilted his head and asked curiously, "Who are you?"

Before Kang Xiaoqiao could say anything, the little guy said with an enlightened look, "Oh, I know. You're here to see Grandpa Hu, right?"

"You're here to see Grandpa Hu for treatment. Am I right?"

After saying that, he raised his little neck and looked very confident.

Kang Xiaoqiao smiled after seeing him. She nodded and said, "You're so smart. You guessed it right. What's your name?"

The little boy was praised. Instead, he touched his head in embarrassment and said, "My name is San Kui. Grandpa Hu's house is next door to ours."

Upon hearing that, Kang Xiaoqiao immediately smiled and took two pieces of candy from her bag and handed it over, saying, "You're called San Kui, right? This candy is for you to eat. Can you lead the way for your sister?"

When the little guy heard that, his eyes instantly lit up. He looked at the candy and swallowed his saliva. "Really?"

Seeing that Kang Xiaoqiao nodded, he immediately said, "That's fine. Follow me."

After saying that, he took the candy and ran happily in front. When the other children saw that, they also ran behind with envious faces. As they ran, they shouted loudly, "Ah! We're going to Grandpa Hu's house! We're going to Grandpa Hu's house!"

Kang Xiaoqiao smiled at the group of people at the same time as a greeting. Then, she followed the little boy, San Kui, and left.

After walking for about five minutes, the little boy, San Kui, stopped at the door of a brick house. He opened his mouth and shouted, "Grandpa Hu, Grandpa Hu, someone wants to see you..."

"Grandpa Hu, Grandpa Hu..."

When Kang Xiaoqiao arrived, she saw a white-haired old man walking out with a hunchback. After looking at Kang Xiaoqiao, he said to the little boy's head, "Okay, I heard it. Your Grandpa Hu is not deaf yet."

Then, he looked at Kang Xiaoqiao and said, "Miss, this way please."

Then, Kang Xiaoqiao followed Grandpa Hu to a side room. It was very cool and clean. Moreover, Kang Xiaoqiao actually saw a Chinese medicine box with the names of all kinds of proprietary Chinese medicine written on it.

Kang Xiaoqiao's eyes lit up as soon as she saw it.

Grandpa Hu poured a glass of water for Kang Xiaoqiao and asked, "Miss, are you not feeling well?"

Hearing this, Kang Xiaoqiao blinked her eyes...

After a simple opening speech, Kang Xiaoqiao explained the purpose of her visit. The things she wanted were all from a distant place. Now that the traffic was blocked, and it was an era where bills were needed for everything, it was really a little difficult.

The grandpa searched for a long time before he managed to gather two or three sets. Although Kang Xiaoqiao was not very satisfied, it was better than nothing. In any case, she did not come for nothing.

After negotiating the price with the old man, she even asked him to help grind some of the medicinal herbs into powder. She did not have the tools at home to do this.

After more than an hour, Kang Xiaoqiao held the things in her hands and smiled happily. Because with them, her little face would soon become white and tender, able to leave the little black girl... That was a very happy thing.

Just as Kang Xiaoqiao was bidding farewell to the old man, suddenly, a child outside shouted, "San Kui, San Kui, hurry up, hurry up. Your rain cow is giving birth to a calf. Hurry up, you won't be able to see it if it's late."
