Chapter 167 Friends from afar

Although there are most modern festivals in this time and space where Shan Xiaowu is located, the time is different. Festivals such as the Mid-Autumn Festival are two months slower than those in modern times. Even the Spring Festival is postponed to the beginning of February like the solar calendar, not at the end of December.

Towards the end of the year, the streets are full of the smell of the New Year. Even if you live on the outskirts of the city, you can feel the hustle and bustle of the city.

Shan Xiaowu pestered Mrs. Shan to go to the street to buy New Year's goods together. Naturally, Mrs. Shan poked her on the forehead and refused. There are so many people on the street, and her daughter has a full stomach. What if this person squeezes out a good or a good one?

The result of the final discussion between the mother and daughter is that the New Year's goods will be prepared by Mrs. Shan and the more delicate mother in Linfeng Garden. When the flower market arrives, they will take Shan Xiaowu to have a look.

There is nothing wrong with it. My mother-in-law does whatever she says - in order not to let the little guy in her belly pop out, sometimes it is better to listen to her mother-in-law. After all, she is an experienced person who has given birth to three children.

On this day, Shan Baoqian and Ben Lei Zhan Yuela went to practice martial arts. Shan's father and Shan Jinlin were not at home, and Mrs. Shan took Shan Xiaowu to talk to Qi Nian in the front hall.

As soon as the maids brought up the hot tea and refreshments, someone immediately came to inform them, saying that there was someone outside the door who was looking for a meeting, and they didn't look like a brocade man.

Mrs. Shan had doubts in her heart, but out of courtesy, she quickly motioned to invite people in.

Shan Xiaowu and Qi Nian also lengthen their necks curiously and looked out.

As the steady footsteps got closer and closer, a tall and strong man from the north came into sight.

The thick and short hair is simply tied up, leaving only a wisp scratched in front of the forehead, which is a little chic. A blood-red dazzling cat's eye stone is inlaid in the middle of the two-finger-wide hairband on the forehead. Two thick eyebrows are flying like temples, their eyes are bright and smiling, their noses are a little round, and their lips are thick.

On the whole, although it looks rough, it is also handsome.

His clothes tend to be simple and neat, and he looks like the clothes in the desert north. There is a rather heavy-looking machete hanging from the waist.

Before Mrs. Shan had time to ask about the identity of this person, Qi Nian, who was sitting under her, stood up with a surprised face and rushed to the man in three and two steps, "Brother Hu Yan!"

It turned out to be an acquaintance!

Under the introduction of Qi Nian, the mother and daughter of the Shan family knew that this strong and rugged desert man was called Hu Yanhao, who was the owner of the camel castle, that is, the proud disciple of Qi Nian's father. Qi Nian and he are childhood sweethearts who grew up together.

"Thank you, Mrs. Shan and Miss Shan, for taking care of Qi Nian these days," Hu Yanhao saluted the two people, took a sip of hot tea, and said, "The owner of the castle can't come because of another emergency, I hereby tell you to thank his wife and family." At that point, he suddenly turned his head and greeted the big man who was waiting to come with him, "Aman, let them carry things in."

The big man answered, kept walking out of the door, and soon turned back. Behind him were many people, carrying some boxes and things in their hands, and finally someone led two horses in.

Ho Yanhao stood up, motioned those people to put things on the side of the yard, and then turned to a few people and said, "These are all the thank-you gifts prepared by our castle owner. It's a small thing, but it's not respectable. I hope your wife will accept it.

"This..." Mrs. Shan couldn't help but be dazed for a long time when she saw this, and then covered it up with a smile. "Your castle owner is so polite. This gift is so valuable, how can we receive it?

Qi Nian came over and took Mrs. Shan's arm and smiled very happily. "Madam, just take it!" You have been taking care of me for so long. If it weren't for you, I might not even find a place to live now!"

"Qi Nian is right. Madam, you must accept it. These are just a little of our wishes. If your wife doesn't accept it, it means that the gift is too thin to be put on the table..."

"Mr. Huyan, you really ruined me." After all, Mrs. Shan is the mistress of everyone. She has been married to Father Shan for so many years, and she has never seen anything. After thinking about it for a second, I quickly made up my mind, "In this case, I will not be polite to accept this gift for my master."

After saying that, Mrs. Shan gave Amber a wince. The latter quickly agreed and nodded to deal with the thank-you matter.

"The Huyan brothers have come here all the way, presumably they haven't found a good place to live. The space in our house is quite large. Why don't we live here first, so that we, as the hosts, can have a good treat. In addition, she also has a care with Qi Nian's sister and brother.

Hu Yanhao took a look at the same dusty brothers who followed him. Seeing that everyone had no objection, he immediately nodded cheerfully, "In this case, it's better to be respectful than to obey."

Shan Xiaowu's eyes have been sticking to the two horses since they entered the door. Looking left and right, his saliva almost flowed down. If the jadeite hadn't been pulling her sleeve to remind her not to get too close, I guess she would have pasted it and touched it.

Good horse, good horse!

One black, one white and two horses. The black body is tall and majestic, the whole hair is oily and shiny, and the eyes are red as fire. Its two front hooves kicked back and forth on the ground, revealing a feeling of unrulyness in its big eyes. As for the white one, on the contrary, it is not only white as snow, but also beautiful as the blue sea, and the eyes look gentle.

Shan Xiaowu fell in love with this pair of horses almost at first sight. It's so beautiful!

Ho Yanhao was also in the room. Naturally, he did not miss the eager eyes of Shan Xiaowu. So he smiled and took the lead to take the two horses not far in front of Shan Xiaowu. "Does Shan like them?"

"I like it very much!" Shan Xiaowu did not hide the excitement in his eyes at all.

So Hu Yanhao laughed again.

It may be that he has been basking in the sun in the wind for many years. His skin looks rough and dark, but his teeth are white and neat. When he smiles, he has deep decree lines on his face, which is not ugly. On the contrary, he looks very bright and makes people involuntarily want to get close.

These two horses. The black one is called Jifeng. He is four years old this year. Because he is young, he is more irritable. The white one is called ice and snow, which is bigger than the wind for a year, and has a gentle and pure personality. Ho Yanhao stretched out his hand and touched the forehead of the white horse with a proud look on his face. "It's not my boast. These two horses, even the daughter, are difficult to buy."

Shan Xiaowu lowered his head in disappointment. Hearing what Hu Yanhao said, it seemed that he was unwilling to give up his love.

"However," Hu Yanhao's voice suddenly turned, looked at Shan Xiaowu and smiled, "These two horses are now yours."

"My?" Shan Xiaowu was confused for a long time. He suddenly opened his eyes and pointed to the horse in front of him, and his tongue was almost knotted. "You mean, give it to me?"

"Of course. These two horses are originally part of the gift," Ho Yanhao kept smiling on his face and patted the back of the wind. Looking at the two horses, his eyes were the same as looking at his own children. "The wind and ice and snow have been seen since I was a child, and I hope that Miss Shan will take good care of them in the future."

"En, I will!" Shan Xiaowu had already made the surprise dizzy, and I didn't know if he had heard it. He just nodded hard and his mouth almost grinned. "I will definitely treat them as much as my children!" Brother Huyan, don't worry.

Mrs. Shan walked to her side with the help of the crystal, stretched out a point to her forehead, and said andly, "I don't have a good shape. I'm almost a mother and I'm so greedy. I'm not afraid that the Huyan brothers will laugh at you.

Shan Xiaowu stuck out his tongue, "Brother Huyan is a reasonable person, so he won't laugh at me!"

At this point, Shan Xiaowu suddenly remembered something. For the person she just met, she shouted like this, and she hasn't even said hello to them.

"Huyan, can I call you big brother like Qi Nian?"

Ho Yanhao smiled, and his eyes were quite sincere. "Miss Mengdan doesn't dislike it. Naturally, it's okay."

"Since I've called you big brother, don't call me girl. Just call me Xiao Wu like Qi Nian." For Shan Xiaowu, making friends is to find this kind of person who is generous and informal, and it is easier to get along with.

"That's good." Hu Yanhao laughed and looked at Shan Xiaowu with admiration. "Today, I will take care of Xiaowu as your sister. In the future, if you go to the desert, you can come to find the eldest brother! Brother, I'll make the decision for you!"

Ho Yanhao patted her chest to make a guarantee, and then turned to Mrs. Shan arched her hand and said, "I'm happy next time. I'll take my own initiative to recognize Miss Guifu as my sister. I hope you don't be surprised."

"Look at what Mr. Huyan is saying. Xiao Wu can recognize you as a steady big brother. It's too late for me to be a mother." Mrs. Shan said, as she ordered Amber to come back, "Amber, let the kitchen prepare some good wine and dishes quickly. Let's have a good celebration in our house tonight to wash the dust for Mr. Huyan.

"There is Mrs. Lao!"

Shan Xiaowu and Qi Nian have been looking at the horse with a smile for a long time.

When they arrived, they saw a piece of harmony. I don't know where seven or eight strong men in foreign clothes are being led by the maids in the direction of the side hall. In front of Mrs. Shan stood a tall northern man, both of them with smiles on their faces and didn't know what they were saying.

Looking at this situation, it is a friend but not an enemy.

As for his little wife, she was with a big belly, reaching out and touching a snow-white tall horse with no color, and even happily sticking her face to the horse's forehead.

Although the white horse looks very tame, it is not guaranteed that it will go crazy. In case...

"Little Five!" She frowned and walked a few steps. The ape's arm stretched out, circled Shan Xiaowu's waist and took her back.

"My father-in-law!" Shan Xiaowu smiled happily. When he looked back, he was inseparable. He quickly pointed to the friendly white horse that rubbed his head straight to her side and said like a treasure, "This is ice and snow," and pointed to the dark horse who was far away and told him, "That's the wind. Brother Huyan gave them to me. Do you think they are very beautiful?

"...Well, that's good."

He glanced at Ho Yanhao casually and saw that Shan Xiaowu was not uncomfortable. His eyes met the soft and coquettish white horse in front of him, and his hanging heart slowly put down.

Knowing that Shan Xiaowu likes animals, he no longer stopped stopping her from getting close to the white horse. He just carefully stood behind her around her waist and wrapped her with a cloak on his body. At the same time, he took Shan Xiaowu to a less windy place under the eaves without a trace to avoid her from catching a cold.

"Don't get too close, be careful not to hurt yourself."

"Yes, my father-in-law!" Knowing that he cared about himself, Shan Xiaowu naturally responded happily.

The couple here looked at the horse, while Hu Yanhao was surrounded by Qi Nian and Yida. The three met again after a long separation. It seemed that there were endless words, and their faces were full of excitement.

Shan Baoqian learned about the situation from Zhaocai Jinbao. He knew that the box that had not been moved in the yard was a gift from Ho Yanhao. His original impatient expression was immediately replaced by a smile. At this time, he also politely came forward to say hello.

Ben Lei is spinning around the wind, with a sound in his mouth. Obviously, he is also quite greedy for this fierce horse. I wanted to pat it on the back several times, but the wind with a ringing nose dodged it disdainfully.

It made me angry and shouted that the horse and dog looked down on people and wanted to eat horse meat hot pot.
