C17 Running

"Elder sister!"

Seeing Shen Qing running forward, Rock looked around, but didn't see anyone else, so he followed her.

This small body was not as strong and healthy as she used to be. Shen Qing was panting after running for a while, so she slowed down her pace and ran slowly, thinking to herself:

He must exercise more and raise his body's quality. He slowed down his pace, but his breathing wasn't as ragged as before. He felt that his heartbeat wasn't as hurried, and everything was comfortable and relaxed.

Shen Qing ran for a distance, but Rock didn't follow her. When she looked back, she saw Stone hunched over with his hands on his hips, and his face was flushed red. He was breathing heavily and gasping for breath.

Shen Qing turned around and jogged to where she was. When the stone got closer, she said to the stone,

"It's not right for you to run like this. "Follow me."

With that, he turned around and began jogging alongside Stone.

"Stand up and lean forward slightly. His hands were clenched into fists and his elbows were bent. He placed them on the side of his chest and moved with each step. Run at a steady pace, not too fast or slow, which makes it even more tiring. There's something wrong with breathing. You need to adjust your breathing, breathe slowly through your nose, run four steps, exhale quickly from your mouth. Then breathe slowly, exhale after four steps! "

Shen Qing continued to run beside the stone, instructing it on how to run properly.

It seemed that the ancients did not care about physical fitness, and did not know how to run even a single step.

Shi Mu followed Shen Qing's instructions and tried to adjust his breathing and pace. As expected, he wasn't as tired as he was just now. His whole body was relaxed as he followed Shen Qing's lead.

There were dense forests on one side of the road and farmlands on the other.

The farmland was wide and the cleared fields were yellow.

The rows of houses at the end of the road announced the pedestrians on the road:

He had finally reached the Qingxi Town.

The streets of the town were not wide, but they were not dirt roads.

The houses on both sides of the road were of varying heights and were all made of brick. Some of the houses had only one floor, while others had two floors.

Not far from the main road, there was a single three-story building.

Above the small building, there was a huge signboard with the words' Guests of the World 'shining in the early morning sun, hinting at the wealth and background of the owner.

Looking forward along the three story building, there was an empty space at the end of the street. It was bustling with people walking about.

"Big sister, we came at the right time. The morning market just started."

Long before they entered the town, Shen Qing stopped the stone. The two walked while doing some stretching exercises.

After entering the town, Rock looked around the morning market.

"I thought the morning market would be on both sides of the street. Why are they all gathered together?"

Isn't it the same on TV?

Were they making it up, or were the dynasties different, so the forms were different?

Shen Qing looked ahead, comparing the scene in front of her with the one she had seen on television in her previous life.

"If it's on both sides of the street, wouldn't that block the street? How can the shops at the back open their doors for business?"

Shitou felt that his sister's question was very strange. She didn't even know such simple logic.

He looked back at Shen Qing with pitiful eyes. Shen Qing knew that he must be thinking about his own mental illness again.

Sure enough, he heard Stone say:

"Elder sister, when I came here with father in the past, I heard that there was a doctor sitting in the medicine hall in the town who was very powerful. Now that we have money, let Big Sis look for him. "

Shen Qing was speechless.

"Big sister is fine. We'll talk about it later. We still have a lot of things to buy back."

After taking two steps forward, he seemed to have thought of something and asked Stone:

"You used to study with Daddy. "Will you continue to read it after Father's death?"

Upon hearing his sister's question, Rock lowered his head and after a while, he raised his head and replied:

"Grandma originally didn't agree to let me study with Father. She told me to follow Eldest Uncle and Second Uncle to work in the fields. But I was too young to do anything about it, so I allowed myself to go to school, saying that when I could go to the fields, I could no longer go to school. "

Stone paused, then said:

"After father passed away, grandmother forced you and mother to work every day. In order to protect you, mother was hit by grandmother many times. The things at home were also taken away by Grandma. She said that the food was from our family and that the three of them couldn't eat and drink for free. Don't even mention letting me study, even Father's ink and paper was given to Third Uncle's cousin. They say that since they live in the town, it's easier for them to study, and they need these things more. "

Shen Qing felt her heart ache when she heard this. She silently cursed in her heart:

Smelly old woman, don't you know that science and technology are the first productive forces? Who would stop a child from going to school! Even if he wasn't his own grandson, he couldn't be so harsh on him!

"Then do you still want to study?" Shen Qing asked.

It could be seen that Shitou had a desire to study.

This little brother was always thinking for her, so she had to think for him as well.

"Yes." Shi said casually.

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly looked up at Shen Qing and said with a tough face,

"I don't want to, Shitou just wants to take good care of his sister." Before my mother died, she told me to take good care of my sister, because I am a man, and in this family, I am the only man. "

"Foolish brat, elder sister doesn't need to take care of you, the one she needs to take care of is you."

Shen Qing's heart was filled with warmth.

So the mother of this body loved him so much, and the younger brother was also strong and sensible.

With such a family, it was a blessing in disguise.

Shen Qing understood clearly that Rock had said he wanted to say something just now. He hadn't thought through the answers in his head, but it was exactly what he was thinking in his heart.

They walked down the street to the morning market.

The empty space was filled with rows and rows of stalls. The stalls were sold by the nearby villagers or farmers for their own produce.

There was also a butcher's table, slaying pigs and cutting meat.

A few stalls also sold handmade goods and household items, such as pots and pans, buckets and baskets.

The main necessities and food for life could be found here.

Looking at these produce, Shen Qing thought of the chestnuts she picked up yesterday.

Actually, she could also sell it, but she didn't know if the people here would recognize it or not.

After walking around, Shen Qing said she needed to buy too many things, especially daily necessities.

He didn't know if he had enough money. Even if he had, how could he take it back?

There was a sudden protest in his stomach. He had not eaten since yesterday afternoon.

As soon as he thought of eating, his stomach grew even hungrier.

"Shitou, when will this morning's market end?"

Shen Qing wanted to go and eat first before continuing her stroll.

"They went back after noon. But if you want to buy something else, you can buy it from shops on the street, except it's a bit more expensive than the ones in the morning market. " Rock explained.

"Whatever, let's go eat something first. We'll talk about buying things later." Shen Qing picked up the stone and walked back.
