Chapter 067

"Um, excuse me."

As the woman's gentle voice sounded, the wooden door of the kitchen was opened a little.

Qingxi, who had just finished making lunch for the crows in the crowhouse and was now eating cold noodles in a big bowl, looked up.

After swallowing the cold noodles in her mouth, she asked, "What's going on?"

"Can we borrow the stove? Our husband is injured and is currently recuperating in the clinic. We would like to cook him some of his favorite food ourselves." Hinazuru had not expected that the kitchen where they were introduced to borrow the stove was guarded by a girl who looked so young.

After explaining her purpose, she asked, as if to confirm something, "Are you... the girl named Axi that the medical staff mentioned?"

When Qingxi heard the word "our husband", she immediately thought of Uzui Tengen, who made all the patients in the ward on the first floor so envious that their eyes were about to burst into flames. His name should be Uzui Tengen.

With three wives, this is what it means to be a winner in life.

"My name is Qingxi, but everyone is used to calling me Ah Xi." She pointed in the direction of the stove. "Since we don't often use fires here, is it okay to have only two stoves?"

"Sure, excuse me."

Hinazuru said as she pulled the wooden door wider, and then, after she walked in, two more women walked in.

Each of them had some ingredients in their hands, which saved Qingxi the trouble of finding an excuse as to why the kitchen here didn't have any ingredients at all.

Qingxi ate cold noodles while glancing in the direction of the three people from time to time.

From a distance, you can see that all three of them are beauties, and they are even more beautiful when you see them up close.

"Suma, you idiot, is it so difficult for me to cut vegetables? Why are you crying?"

"Wow, I didn't want to do this either, but wow, the onion juice splashed into my eyes. It hurts so much, wow."

"Really...then stop cutting and go wash the vegetables."

"good……"

Crash——

The water that Hinazuru had just drawn from the well spilled all over the kitchen floor.

"Eww, sorry, I'll clean this up right away."

Seeing the perfectly good kitchen turned into a disaster scene in just a short while, Qingxi was so stunned that the chopsticks in her hand almost dropped.

Ah, isn't the character of this silly and cute beauty a little too stable?

This sentence popped up in Qingxi's mind.

Looking at the suddenly chaotic kitchen, she took a deep breath. To prevent her blood pressure from soaring, she picked up the cold noodles, said goodbye to Hinazuru, and went to Tsurumaru Kuninaga's house to eat.

"that--"

Hinazuru called out to Qingxi who had already reached the kitchen door.

"I'm Hinazuru, and they are Maki and Suma. We'll clean up the kitchen later."

"It's okay." Qingxi raised her hand and pointed in the direction of the crow house, saying to them, "If you don't have enough coal, you can go to the separate room over there to get some."

"I see."

Arriving at Tsurumaru Kuninaga's house, Qingxi took out a palm-leaf fan from a corner as if he knew the place well, and started fanning himself while eating.

However, before she could take a few bites of the cold noodles, the completely unnatural wailing of a woman was heard outside again.

"What's going on?" Qingxi put down his chopsticks helplessly, stood up, opened the shoji door, and walked towards the source of the sound with a palm-leaf fan in his hand.

To be honest, she no longer thinks having many wives is a good thing.

Especially when you have a wife with a silly and cute personality.

At this moment, she really wanted to go to the clinic to ask Uzui Tengen if it was hard to have such a wife.

Following the sound, she came to the crow house and saw Suma holding the pillar tightly with tears pouring out like a flood. A pair of sharp claws were holding on to her shoulders, as if she wanted to pick her up and take her away.

Hinazuru and Makio stood aside with serious expressions on their faces, ready with kunai, daggers and other weapons in their hands, just in case the huge crow suddenly swooped down from the sky and attacked Suma.

"Jiro, what are you doing? Take your claws off me now."

Qingxi was in a state of panic at this time. One "Wooah Monster" was already scary enough, and now there was another "Gaga Bird". She was not familiar with the first one, so she could hide from it, but the one behind was her own cub, so she couldn't hide from it.

After hearing the girl's voice, Jiro reluctantly released his claws that were holding Suma. However, before leaving, he still pecked Suma on the back of the head in dissatisfaction as she was still holding on to the pillar. He didn't use much force, but it hurt her for a while.

Jiro flapped his wings and stood beside Qingxi. Without saying a word, he turned his back and let her look at his back.

Seeing that many of the originally smooth feathers on its back had been cut into pieces by sharp tools, Qingxi touched its back soothingly, and then looked at Suma, Hinazuru, and Makio together with it.

Hinazuru and Makio, who had weapons in their hands but had no time to attack, looked at each other, then turned their heads together and looked at Suma, who was crying loudly with his head in his hands.

Suma trembles under the gaze of three people and a crow.jpg

"Yes, I'm sorry, it, it suddenly flew down from the sky, and I thought it was a monster, so I threw the shuriken at it." Although Suma was a little silly and cried a little, he still explained the current situation honestly in front of his companions.

The result is that you threw the shuriken out, but not only did you fail to kill the opponent, but you were "killed" by the opponent instead.

"Are you stupid?" Mu Xu's face looked a little grumpy at this moment.

"Suma." Hinazuru raised her hand to her forehead and sighed. What could she do about her companion's erratic personality? "Go to Tengen-sama and take care of him.

Leave this to Mu Xu and me."

It's best to keep your clumsy behavior at home for your family to see. When you're out and about, try to be more restrained. Most importantly, as an adult, don't cause trouble for other little girls.

"Actually, Jiro was also at fault for scaring Miss Suma. I apologize to Miss Suma on his behalf." Qingxi said as he bowed to the three of them.

After bowing, she stood up and said, "Jiro is a mutated crow, so he is so big, but in essence, he still obeys the work arrangements of the lord.

I'll take it to get its back feathers cleaned first, and please help yourself here."

The three men looked at the girl who turned and left, then looked at the incredibly large crow that followed her closely. They did not retract their gaze until the girl and the bird turned the corner and disappeared.

"Hmph, I don't like that girl." Mu Xu snorted. "She looked like she was about to get angry, yet she was pretending to be polite."

"What else do you want them to do?" Hinazuru asked. After patting Suma's shoulder and telling her to go and look after Master Tengen, she continued, "If they messed up your kitchen like that and then threw shurikens at your pet, would you still put on a smiling face for them?

If it were you, Mu Xu, you would have rushed up and started a fight with him."

Just as Hinazuru said, after Mu Xu put himself in her shoes and thought about it, the anger that was about to arise disappeared.

Without thinking about what Uzui Tengen's three wives did in the kitchen later, Kiyoki took Jiro to Tsurumaru Kuninaga's house. Between petting his fur and eating the cold noodles, she chose the latter.

Because she didn't want to throw a few crow feathers into it when she wanted to eat it next time.

After eating the cold noodles, Qingxi began to take care of the crow feathers that had been shaved off Jiro's back.

In fact, there is nothing good to do. The best way to make the feathers grow again is to pluck them out. Although, when you just pluck them out, that piece of skin will be exposed, which is absolutely ugly, but new feathers will grow out soon to cover that piece of skin. After two or three months, it will be a good crow again.

Thinking about Jiro's temper, Qingxi reached out and started plucking the feathers one by one without asking him.

Jiro originally thought that since he had suffered so much injustice, she, as a breeder, should treat him gently (emphasis added).

As a result, the pain of having the quill pulled out from its back made the crow stunned.

No, where's the tenderness you promised? Where's the comfort you promised? Just this? Just this?

Jiro was very angry, but in the short period of time when it was stunned, Qingxi was quick-eyed and quick-handed and had plucked all the broken crow feathers off its back.

Jiro: "..." So angry.

Jiro was very unhappy and was about to make a fuss.

Seeing that the sharp beak of the bird was about to open, Qingxi reached out and grabbed it faster than it, preventing it from opening its mouth.

She pointed to the feathers she had plucked from the tatami and said, "Look for yourself. If you don't pluck these feathers, how can new feathers grow on your back?"

Jiro lowered his head in the direction of the girl's finger, and felt angry when he saw the feathers being shaved off.

Qingxi released her grip on the bird's beak and patted its head soothingly. "If you dislike your current ugliness, I can string these feathers together with thread to make a cover. Then, until new feathers grow, I can keep it on your back. That should be fine, right?"

Knowing that what the girl said was the best solution, Jiro could only reluctantly nod in agreement.

An hour later, the tightly closed shoji door was opened from the inside.

Qingxi was the first to come out with the dishes and chopsticks. She turned around and looked at the big crow who suddenly became awkward, hesitant, and slow. Suddenly, she laughed.

"You always act like the lord is the boss and you are the second. I thought your personality was just like that and it would never change. But it turns out you have a shy day too."

"Come on, come out," she urged. "I've promised you a hundred times that the patch of skin on your back where the hair was plucked won't be exposed. It's completely covered by your plucked feathers. And don't worry, I've secured it with lots of ropes. As long as you don't get plucked anymore, it won't come loose."

"Don't tell anyone else, and don't tell in front of other crows." Jiro said in a hoarse voice.

"Okay." Qingxi agreed immediately.

Jiro felt that even if Qingxi promised him, it would not be safe, but the other person had already turned around and left. What else could he do but follow him?

After washing the dishes and putting them back into the food backpack, Qingxi hesitated for a moment and decided to take a look at the kitchen.

There was no one in the kitchen. The water that had spilled on the floor had been wiped up, and the used tools had been put away.

Qingxi's eyes fell on the long table, where there was an exquisite small cloth bag. She walked in, picked it up and opened it. Inside was a bunch of colorful konpeito.

It didn't look like they forgot to take it away, but rather it seemed like they gave it to her.

Of course, there may also be an apology in this. After all, who made the family have such a reckless person? If you don't want to abandon her, you can only make up for her.

If Qingxi was a little angry at the beginning, she calmed down when she saw Jiro being hesitant. He didn't do it on purpose, so she didn't hold on to the matter.
