Fan Yu asked Xia Houyi not to inquire about what he did so carefully, Xia Houyi stopped asking, because he thought that he could hide something from him, and the two who were ordered by him to look at him were not every day. When I come back late, I will report back in detail.In this way, at this moment, if you don't ask about the time, you don't ask.

Later, Fan Yu asked him if he could eat earlier, and he said yes.So after eating, he took the carriage back to the two houses rented by Fan Yu in the east of the city. Fan Yu said that he could just get off the carriage there, and followed Xia Houyi back in the carriage.

Fan Yu put Puding in the house, and his mother-in-law and the others took care of him, saying that she and Zu Xin would take Puding back to his home on the mountain, and asked Zu Xin to boil water for him to take a bath when the time came.After explaining, he went to the two men he had called in the afternoon and said that he could leave now.

Because he had dinner early, it was still early when he returned to the house, it was only about a quarter past seven, and it was not more than half past seven when he and the two strong men left the house.One of them carried a bundle, which contained some warm gray wheat bags wrapped in oiled paper and two straw hats.They also had a water bag on their waists.They thought that when they got to the mountain, they could spread out these gray wheat buns and give them some to eat urgently when they saw people alive.

After they went out, they hired a carriage, and the three of them sat on a certain street in the west of the city, and asked the coachman to stop the carriage and paid the money.It's not easy for them to let the coachman drive the carriage all the way to the bottom of the barren mountain, so they can only stop the car before reaching the foot of the mountain.

They walked all the way from the street to the foot of the barren mountain, and then climbed all the way up. Fortunately, the mountain is not high, and after halfway up the mountain, a little higher is the grotto.This mountain is barren enough, not even a bird of prey or beast can be seen, and as far as the eye can see is a desolate scene reflected in the yellow moonlight, it is simply the scene of empty vegetation after three years in Chidi, then Not to mention birds of prey and beasts, not even a grasshopper could be found, and there was a dead silence.

Fan Yu didn't understand how this mountain was born like this. Obviously, many mountains around the Yunu City are lush with vegetation, but this one looks so bare.He asked the two men who followed him: "Why is this mountain so barren?" One of the two men said: "I don't know, each of these mountains is good, just like this mountain, maybe this There is a problem with the soil of the mountain.”

They followed them into the grotto, and there were two people inside. If there is no mistake, these two should be the servants of Taizhong's mansion that the servant in the mansion said in the morning.According to what the two servants said, they haven't counted people in this city for a while, so the people who were brought up to the mountains to abandon the elderly should have starved to death, and the bodies of those people should have been killed by the government. The people inside came up and cleaned it up.At this moment, these two are really the only ones in the grotto, and they probably haven't eaten today's lunch or dinner, maybe they haven't even eaten breakfast.

The three of them walked over, and Fan Yu asked, "Do you still have the strength to speak?" The two were so hungry that they had no strength, and they wanted to say nothing, and it was best not to move.Waiting for death is like this, it is less painful.

Fan Yu asked people to untie the burden, and took the gray wheat bag and water bag for them.This is almost a human instinct. When they were brought up by government servants equipped with weapons, they naturally would not resist, but it did not mean that they would refuse to eat food when they saw it in front of them.So without thinking, they slowly reached out and took the wheat bag and water bag, and started eating and drinking like this.

Fan Yu looked, this should not be the kind of lifeless person who has no will to survive at all.Perhaps none of them, who have lived to seventy, would be willing to be brought up and discarded, but there was no way to resist at all, so they showed no resistance at all.

If they wanted to escape and fled down the mountain, they would not have any source of livelihood. Their deeds were all in the government office, and they would not be canceled in the government office until they saw their dead bodies.They fled to the bottom of the mountain like this, and no household can invite them. Moreover, they are already so old that it is difficult to survive even if they escape to any of the surrounding mountains. They are dizzy after being hungry. Now, how can I go down the mountain and then go to another mountain to dig a sweet potato and catch a hare or something.Besides, they have lived their whole lives quite difficult, and they always have a cold feeling in their hearts, and they always feel that it is not bad to die so dizzy after being brought up, so don't bother and try again. It is to escape and to find a way to survive in the wild.

But when food and water appeared in front of their eyes out of thin air in an almost impossible situation, the moment they just grabbed them and ate them, they would still find that if they could survive, They are still willing.

It is difficult for them to take the initiative to seek a way out of life, but if a life opportunity comes to them, they are still willing to accept it.After all, a good death is worse than a bad life.

Each of them even ate three big gray wheat buns and drank a water bag, but they didn't feel dizzy any more.After awakening, I realized that I was not dreaming, but actually ate and drank water.

Fan Yu asked them: "You go back with me first." They said: "But what if the yamen servants who come to clean up don't see the corpse?" They go out without even thinking about the follow-up to this issue.He paused and said, "You guys come with me first. I will find a way for that."

In fact, he couldn't think of any way, the only way he could think of was to ask Xia Houyi.And to put it bluntly, his so-called "I will find a way" actually means "Maybe Xia Houyi has a way".

After all, he has lived in this place for a short time. How can he plan everything so well? Many things still depend on some people who have lived here for a long time, such as his mother-in-law, who is a piece of very spicy ginger. For example, Xia Houyi, in short, looks very powerful, and the important thing is that he also looks relatively powerful, so he has a lot of connections in many things.

He took the two people down the mountain, took out two hats and put them on, and then asked one of the two people who followed him to call for a carriage, and the five of them returned to the east of the city in two carriages. forward.

Those two people went back to the house, he told them to keep silent about tonight's matter to everyone, even the people in the house should not talk about it, they nodded to reassure him.

Afterwards, he led the two seventy-year-old men up the mountain.One of these two was Renbo and the other was Rongbo. He first settled them down in the kitchen behind him, and boiled water for them to rinse.Maybe they are also the servants who used to work in the big family, and they are more or less better than those who beg for food on the street or drink and make trouble outside, or they don't care about decency at all, or they don't want to pay attention at all^Decent people should pay attention^Decent people , more or less love clean.When boiling water to wash them, it was obvious that they also wanted to wash to make their bodies clean. After all, they had been sitting in that cave for nearly a day.

After washing, Fan Yu took two sets of his own old clothes for them to wear first. These two people are also old, and maybe they could still look about 160 or 68 cm when they were young, but now they are only 160 cm. They look like Zu Xin, but they are as tall as Zu Xin. Fortunately, they are still energetic, and they don't stand with their shoulders hunched all day long. Otherwise, they don't look as tall as Zu Xin.

Fan Yu's previous clothes were just right for them to wear, and he is taller now. Although the clothes he bought were said to be "very small clothes" by Xia Houyi, for people like them, he is currently The ones I bought seem a bit long.And how dare he touch Zu Xin's clothes, even if Zu Xin looked as tall and short as Ren Bo and Rong Bo in front of him, and the length of the clothes should be just right, he didn't dare to take out his clothes for these two people in case of emergency Dressed first.

Zu Xin doesn't mean to be stingy, but everyone is more or less concerned about one or two aspects. This matter is not the same for everyone. Some people care about this, and some people care about that. For example, Zu Xin is very concerned about his "beauty" and his clothes and shoes. Sometimes when he has nothing to do at home, he can take out the washed and folded clothes and dust them again. After dusting, they will overlap again. again.These are completely incomprehensible things to Fan Yu, and he doesn't understand what he is doing and what is the significance of doing this.

But after seeing him do this many times, Fan Yu probably knew it in his heart, and felt that Zu Xin was particularly worried about this aspect.Since he knows this level, there is no need to do something that may offend him and make him feel uncomfortable, such as taking his clothes and giving them to two people without his consent. It looked like the dusty Abor was wearing it.

This is one layer, and the other one is, to be honest, those clothes of Zu Xin have nothing to do with "plainness" at all. Duan Ning's temperament, I really don't know how he did it, the clothes are so gaudy that Fan Yu can't help seeing the clothes in front of his eyes, and there is nothing wrong with wearing them on Zu Xin. The atmosphere became dignified, as if he could wear clothes to attend some banquet.But these clothes were really given to Ren Bo and the others to wear, and it would be ridiculous to wear any of them.

Fan Yu thought, even if he took Zu Xin's clean clothes to wear for them, and even if they were grateful for his kindness in saving them, they would still be unable to resist their old faces.

Fan Yu even imagined how Ren Bo and Rong Bo would look in Zu Xin's clothes for a while, and tried to put Zu Xin's exaggerated clothes on them, and the two of them seemed to be singing a big show on stage. The same was teased in his mind again.

Thinking about it, he also burst out laughing with a "poof", and after laughing, he scolded himself in his heart for being so poor and boring, making fun of the old man.But he couldn't help thinking about it, it was probably because he was annoyed by the ground after saving them, so he wanted to find something to have fun, even if it seemed extremely boring to him.

It's really annoying, it's easy to save, but how to deal with it in the future, I'm afraid there will be many things that will be caused by this incident one after another.First of all, they can't be allowed to sleep in the kitchen next to his room every day; and the other is whether the local government office here will be more vigorous to investigate this matter, don't let others not even do business in this fish girl city If it is stable, it will cause a lot of guilt to be placed on the body, and it cannot be shaken off, and it will end up in jail at that time.One must know that the yamen here looks as cold as hell, and all the yamen servants inside have a ghostly look. This appearance that can be seen by others is already so frightening. Going further into the dark prison deep in the mansion, it should look exactly like the "Eighteen Hells".

Thinking of this, Fan Yu shivered for a while, thinking that he would go to Xia Houyi to talk about it early tomorrow morning.Alas, it's true that "friends are hated when they are in use." At this time, he even wanted to have a few salaried, tax-collecting friends, and if he had acquaintances in public institutions, things would be much easier, but Also when something happened, he didn't have to bear the heavy shock like he is now.

How can he not know the benefits of having friends who "get a salary", he knows this kind of thing best.With such a friend, even if it is not convenient, there are many things that are known earlier than others, at least it can be guaranteed that nothing will happen.But of course it is not allowed to commit crimes.

Fan Yu had previously been in a mood full of panic, "having fun in bitterness", thinking about the matter of the two old people wearing clothes indiscriminately to make fun of, probably because he was too nervous, so he thought about it so wildly, just for fun. Well, to some extent, I can relax my panicky mood.Afterwards, he thought that he would go to Xia Houyi's place to look for him early in the morning. After all, this is the only friend he has contacted here, who is closest to the Vanity Fair here, and he must know more than him. He tried to think of a way to help him feel more at ease.He suddenly regretted why he didn't talk to him first when Xia Houyi asked him, which made him feel so uneasy here now.Afterwards, he thought that perhaps he would have to make some friends with salaries in the future.He never said he wasn't a drill man.

He thought a lot that night. Ren Bo and Rong Bo in the next room were asleep, Zu Xin and the others were back, Zu Xin and the others were also asleep, and the yellow moon outside had sunk. Still not asleep.He also sat up suddenly like a corpse, and suddenly realized that he was making too much noise. He turned his head to find that the two beside him were sleeping soundly, so he got out of bed, opened the door, and Night Breeze Xi Xi, the trees were shadowed, but he felt tired because he couldn't sleep. He ran to the front kitchen to drink some water, and then went back to sleep, but still couldn't sleep. After a while, he thought of urinating, so he went out to urinate again Once, go back to sleep again.

It wasn't until he didn't know when he fell asleep in a daze for a while.Then he was still shaken awake by Pu Ding, who was startled when he saw his blue eyes. He probably knew in his heart that he looked scary this morning, so he hurriedly comforted him and said that it was all right, all right.

Early in the morning, this family, now counting two more, had breakfast together for a total of six members.Seeing that the mother-in-law and Zu Xin had something to do, Ren Bo and Rong Bo asked Fan Yu what they could do, and Fan Yu looked haggard at that moment. He looked like he had been smoking opium for decades and suddenly stopped. He couldn't think of anything, and when he was asked about it, he thought it would be better to teach them how to wash gluten.

For such a long time, he still has not handed over the matter of washing gluten to the craftsmen in the house at the foot of the mountain. Just to keep it secret, he has always washed out a certain amount by himself every day, and then handed it over to the people at the foot of the mountain. Put a piece of gluten on it and marinate it with teriyaki sauce.

Now that Ren Bo and the others are here, because of their identities, they themselves would not want to go down the mountain often, so it is better to give them the gluten to wash, and this work is not very strenuous.In this way, Fan Yu doesn't have to stay at home all the time, and he can relax a lot in terms of time and freedom.

After he taught them how to wash gluten, he entrusted Puding to the care of his mother-in-law and Zu Xin.Then, he ran down the mountain alone.Impatient, I just want to ask Xia Houyi earlier, let him give an explanation and give an idea.

In fact, Xia Houyi already knew last night that he had rescued the two people in the cave, so naturally he sent him to watch Fan Yu's two people and reported it to him after they returned.I also pity those two people who were sent by Xia Houyi to watch. They follow Fan Yu all day long in the city to the east, and then to the west. Go up a spooky, barren mountain.

Fan Yu ran to Xia Houyi's side, and Xia Houyi was frightened by his black eyes, thinking about what's wrong, he asked him, "What's wrong with you?" He sat down beside Xia Houyi Then he immediately replied: "Oh, I didn't sleep well. Let me not talk about this, I will tell you what happened last night. I went to the barren hill in the west of the city and rescued two people who were led up to die. Man, after I was rescued, I realized that this matter should not end like this. What should I do? You can help me figure out a way, in case the yamen servants go up the mountain to clean up the corpses and disappear after a few days, they will have to interrogate What can I do if I find out the truth.”

He uttered such a long speech in one breath, without even pausing, it can be seen that he didn't sleep last night, and maybe he was thinking about these words over and over in his head.

Xia Houyi finally heard him finish, and said: "Okay, okay, take a breath first. Don't worry, I will ask my elder brother to tell the people in the government office here, no one will check you For this account, just cancel the accounts of those two people in their government offices." Fan Yu immediately relaxed after hearing this, turned sideways, put his hands on Xia Houyi's elbows, and Like the elbow-to-elbow look you get after running to the train station to pick up a loved one you haven't seen in 30 years.

He asked: "Really?" Xia Houyi said: "Could it be false?" Fan Yu relaxed all of a sudden, leaned back in the chair, and was immediately crushed by the top edge of the extremely short chair back After a while, he immediately sat up straight again, and then lay down on the desk in front of him.He looked like he didn't want to talk about anything anymore, and just wanted to sleep for a while before talking.
