Siheyuan: Traveling through Cai Quanwu, pretending to be Uncle Shazhu

Cai Quanwu naturally had no idea how much psychological pressure the words he said before leaving had put on Jia Zhang.

This disrupted Jia Zhang's original plan.

He is now sitting at the table chatting with Sha Zhu and a few others.

I don’t know if Xiao Wu said something to Guan Jiaqi when they were washing dishes just now.

After returning, Guan Jiaqi kept asking indirectly what He Yushui meant by what he had just said.

Cai Quanwu glanced at Xiao Wu, who was chatting with Sha Zhu as if nothing had happened, and smiled bitterly in his heart.

There was nothing wrong originally, but now it seems as if he and He Yushui really have some secret.

As for He Yushui's complaints, he couldn't say them directly in front of Xiao Wu, so he had to change the subject and talk about picking reed leaves:

"Zhu Zi, you just said that we should all go to collect reed leaves together. Do we need to bring any tools?"

Sha Zhu was talking to Xiao Wu. When he heard Cai Quanwu's question, he turned around, thought for a while and said:

"Just bring a basket, nothing else."

"But it would be nice to have a few pairs of gloves."

"So as to avoid getting your hands cut by the reeds."

When hearing about gloves, Tsai said:

"The gloves are fine, I'll get a few pairs back tomorrow."

Because grain stores need this thing when moving grain, so they have no shortage of it.

"Then there's nothing to prepare." When Sha Zhu heard Cai Quanwu say this, he said that nothing else was needed.

It was a simple job.

After Cai Quanwu's interruption, Guan Jiaqi finally stopped staring at Cai Quanwu and started chatting with Xiao Wu and He Yushui.

After chatting for a while, Cai Quanwu and Guan Jiaqi went home to rest.

Silent all night.

The next day, everyone went to work and school as usual.

In the blink of an eye, the day passed and it was soon the day off.

Early in the morning, Sha Zhu got up to cook.

After breakfast, everyone got ready, chatted and laughed, and pushed their bicycles out.

When I walked to the front yard, I happened to see the third uncle tending to his pots of flowers and plants at the door.

Seeing Cai Quanwu and his friends approaching in their tightly-dressed clothes, the third uncle turned around and asked curiously:

"Old Cai, where are you all going, all of you, dressed so warmly so early in the morning?"

When Cai Quanwu heard the third uncle ask about it, he did not hide anything and told the truth:

“This is not making zongzi.”

"Zhu Zi, take us to pick some reed leaves."

When the third uncle heard that they were going to pick reed leaves, he immediately lost interest. He wondered what they were going to do and thought that if it was something good, he would follow them. It turned out that they were going to pick reed leaves.

"oh oh."

"You guys have packed a lot, so you need to go pick some."

"Okay, then you are busy."

After the third uncle finished speaking, he turned around and continued to tend to his pots of flowers and plants.

When Cai Quanwu and the others heard what the third uncle said, they ignored him and continued pushing their bicycles out of the yard.

After driving out of the yard, Cai Quanwu and Sha Zhu rode their bicycles and took Xiao Wu and the others out of the city.

Under the leadership of Sha Zhu, Cai Quanwu and his companions came to a reed marsh in the suburbs.

After parking the car on the road outside the reed marsh, Sha Zhu walked in front with a stick to scare away the enemy and lead the way.

In this weather, there are a lot of spicy strips in the grass.

A group of people followed Sha Zhu to the edge of the reed marsh. Sha Zhu gave some brief instructions, and everyone put on gloves and started picking reed leaves.

After picking for a while, He Yushui lost his patience and ran around, looking here and there, like a curious baby.

Cai Quanwu saw He Yushui's expression and scolded him:

"Rainwater, don't run around. There are snakes in here."

"Be careful of snake bites."

When He Yushui heard that there was a snake, he was shocked and quickly ran back to Cai Quanwu and the others.

Seeing Cai Quanwu and the others picking reed leaves, He Yushui became bored. She broke off a reed stalk, removed the leaves, and started practicing the Jade Girl Sword Technique on the weeds next to her.

About half an hour later, Cai Quanwu also lost interest.

He is now used to being a hands-off boss at home. This kind of work is not suitable for him.

Looking around, Cai Quanwu had an idea in his mind, so he said to Sha Zhu and the others:

"Zhu Zi, you guys pick them, I'll go inside and take a look."

"There must be pheasants and ducks in this reed marsh. I'll go in and look for them."

Sha Zhu originally didn't have high expectations for Cai Quanwu's work, so when he heard him say this, he reminded him:

"Uncle, be careful."

"This reed marsh is fine outside, but there may be water holes inside."

“Don’t get stuck in it.”

When Cai Quanwu heard Sha Zhu's reminder, he smiled and replied, "Got it. I'll bring your dog-beating stick with me."

He Yushui was bored, and when he heard Cai Quanwu say that they were going to catch pheasants in the reed marsh, his eyes lit up, and he immediately came up to him and said, "Uncle, I want to go too."

"No, it's dangerous inside. You stay outside, uncle will be out soon." After hearing what He Yushui said, Cai Quanwu refused sternly.

If he is alone and really encounters danger, he can run to the rental house.

Bring He Yushui with you, just in case something unexpected happens.

"Uncle, please take me with you." Hearing Cai Quanwu's refusal, He Yushui still did not give up and held Cai Quanwu's arm and tried to persuade him.

"There's no room for negotiation. If you say no, then it's no. Go to your sister-in-law and the others right away." Cai Quanwu's tone became stern.

"Cheapskate."

"If I don't go, I won't go."

Seeing that his persuasion was useless, He Yushui ran away angrily.

After seeing He Yushui leave, Cai Quanwu picked up the stick that Sha Zhu brought and went straight into the reed marsh.

Walking along the way, Cai Quanwu knocked down the reeds on both sides to mark his exit.

The reeds were taller than a person and covered a large area, so he was afraid he would get lost.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Cai Quanwu noticed some movement ahead.

Maybe something was startled by Cai Quanwu's footsteps.

When Cai Quanwu saw the movement, he stood there for a while and then walked towards the direction where the movement occurred.

As I approached, two frightened pheasants flew up.

As luck would have it, one of them was frightened and rushed directly towards Cai Quanwu's head in panic.

Seeing that the pheasant was about to fly over his head, Cai Quanwu swung the stick in his hand and hit the pheasant several times.

Maybe it was really luck that hit Cai Quanwu.

Looking at the pheasant that had fallen to the ground with its legs twitching, Cai Quanwu walked over and picked it up.

When he took it in his hand, Cai Quanwu found that he had used too much force and the chicken shit came out of his stomach.

He rubbed the pheasant clean on the ground, pulled out some wild grass from the side and rolled it into a rope, tied up the pheasant's two feet, and carried it towards the place where the pheasant had just flown out.

When they got to the place, Cai Quanwu parted the grass and saw a nest of pheasant eggs, about ten of them.

Looking at the pheasant eggs in front of him, Cai Quanwu thought to himself that this was really good luck.

When I get home in the evening, I can make some fried pheasant eggs with green onions.

While he was happy, he was also troubled about how to get this thing out.

There were things that could be packed in the rental house, but when he came in, he only took a stick and nothing else.

It would be hard to explain if I took the things and pretended to be away.

You can't say you picked it up in the reeds.

That's treating people like fools.

After thinking for a while, Cai Quanwu took off his outer coat, put the eggs in his pocket, and prepared to send the pheasant and the eggs away first.

The temperature is already very high now, and Cai Quanwu usually wears short sleeves.

The coat is worn when picking reeds to prevent the skin from being cut by the reeds.

Cai Quanwu picked up his coat, hung the pheasant on a stick, and then walked outside.
