Transmigrated into the Pastoral Scenery
Chapter 42
As a dumb person, Shen Junxi was very clear about the dumb man's thoughts. He thought that the old man might be worried that they would deceive others, so he gestured to him sincerely: "Don't worry, old man. My wife is a good person. Everything he says is true. Really. In addition to the [-]-acre lotus pond, the family also has a tea garden of more than [-] mu, all of which are hired long-term workers."
When the mute heard that the other party was a wealthy family, he believed a lot in his heart, he gestured hesitantly and said, "You really... give me retirement?"
Song Jingwei said: "It's true, what I say counts, you should think about it carefully."
Seeing the dumb man lowering his head and thinking, they knew that this matter could be accomplished.Sure enough, not long after, the mute raised his head and gestured: "Okay, anyway, I'm old, and you can't lie to me, so I'll just trust you once."
Song Jing smiled. Just now he was worried that they had cheated his lotus seeds, but now he said that they couldn't cheat him. The old man must have stepped down for himself.But he won't try to tear down the old man's platform, he said: "I'm very happy if you promise me, then it's settled." He looked at Shen Junxi and said: "We'll go outside and find someone to come in and dig lotus roots later. By the way, hire a few more bullock carts." Now, only bullock carts can be used to transport things.
"En." The young man nodded.
He left as soon as he said he would go, and immediately drove the carriage out again.Fortunately, it was easier to walk during the day than at night, and I went out to the town in less than an hour.I hired a few part-time workers in the market, and hired a few ox carts, and hurried back.
The technique of digging lotus roots is also very particular. The mute gestured to them and said: "The lotus seeds must be dug from the bottom to the bottom. Don't break off the young shoots, and don't wash them too clean. You need to bring some soil."
"That's right." Song Jingwei repeated it to the workers, saying, "Dig carefully, try to get all the beard and tail, don't wash the soil clean, and don't damage the sprouts."
Everyone is a farmer, and they are the best at doing farm work, and they will do it once the host tells them.
Visually predicting that the pond would have to be dug for more than two or three days, Song Jingwei made a good deal in his heart and arranged it this way.The lotus roots dug out every day were sent back to Chashan Village by the coachman in time.By the way, let the dumb boy go back with him, and bring the letter that Song Jingwei asked Shen Junxi to write. Shen Dongming and Chen Xianggui understood the letter as soon as they saw it.Then arrange the manpower and start planting.
"Today we can dig out about three carts, put them overnight, and start driving before dawn tomorrow." Song Jingwei said to the dumb man, "You go back with them, and I will leave the lotus root planting to you." After a pause , He continued: "This pool of lotus roots will be given to you at the market price. When the time comes, all the lotus roots will be dug up, and then the price will be calculated. What do you think?"
The mute nodded and gestured, "Okay, there's nothing wrong."
The next day, after the mute left with the ox cart carrying lotus roots, there were only the two of them left here.After staying for two or three days, a pond of lotus root was dug up, and I also received a letter from Chen Xianggui, saying that everything went well.
I thought that with the mute, it should be smooth.
"I'm going to Shikuyan next. It seems like you mentioned this place before?" Song Jingwei took out the letter paper and looked at the detailed address on it. It seemed that Shen Junxi had mentioned it before.
"En." Shen Junxi gestured: "I told you a few years ago that this place is a little far away." At that time, the daughter-in-law wanted to go out while she was pregnant with the baby, but he stopped her.
"It's not too far from here." After all, they were quite far away from home, and starting from here was considered a convenient way.
After finishing the house and the pond on the dumb side, get on the seat and continue to head towards the Grotto Rock.After walking for three days and two nights on the road, they stopped and spent the night in a small inn in Shiku Town.
"..." After traveling for so many days without eating or sleeping well, Shen Junxi watched his wife's face turn paler and paler. After settling down, he gestured: "Take a good rest first, and I'll get Xiao Er to send you some heat." The water is gone, and I will go to the kitchen to ask for some delicious food."
"Yeah." Song Jing leaned slightly on the bed, and replied lazily, he was indeed exhausted: "Come and get some money, and make something delicious." From the bedside bag, he took out a bag of broken pieces Silver, throw it to the youth.
"En." Shen Junxi then put it into his arms, in fact, the broken silver on his body was enough.But thinking of his daughter-in-law's body, I couldn't help but want to buy a lot of meat for him to eat and make up for it.
When he arrived at the kitchen, he ordered a few nutritious foods directly from the cook, but the price was a bit expensive. If he bought the ingredients and made them himself, Yang could also make them.About the time of a cup of tea, followed Xiaoer to deliver hot water to the house.Shen Junxi walked to the bedside, and Song Jingwei was resting with his eyes closed. When he opened his eyes, he gestured and said, "The hot water is here, go take a bath." He knew that his daughter-in-law loves being clean the most, so I'm afraid Already very uncomfortable.
"Okay." Song Jingwei replied, really actively got up to take a bath.
Shen Junxi helped him tidy up his clothes, but in fact he just changed his inner clothes.When you are away from home, changing clothes is not as convenient as at home.
After taking a hot bath, Song Jingwei looked at the young man sitting quietly in the room, and said to him: "There is water left in it, you should go wash it first."
"En." Shen Junxi looked up at him, and nodded happily, looking very happy.
When he also came out, Xiaoer happened to knock on the door, and it was Shen Junxi who opened it. Seeing Xiaoer, he said enthusiastically, "You two are objective, your food is here." They are all not cheap talents, so Xiaoer Twenty is very enthusiastic, maybe there is a reward?
Shen Junxi stepped aside and asked Xiao Er to bring in the food.
"You two are objective, these dishes are the signature dishes of this small shop, you two are lucky today." Xiao Er said with a smile, visually observing the clothes of these two guests, they are really rich people, even if they are not top If you have money, that's not bad.
But when he left the room, the guest didn't intend to give a reward, so he had to leave resentfully.
"Let's eat." Song Jingwei said while sitting at the side table, and immediately picked up the chopsticks to eat. He was about to vomit after eating dry food and snacks these days.
"..." Shen Junxi sat beside him quietly, picking up vegetables for him from time to time.
Although Song Jingwei showed disgust, he didn't throw it back into his bowl. He ate it, but said vaguely: "Eat yours, I have my own hands."
"..." Shen Junxi looked at the food on the table, pretending not to hear, and paying attention to him from time to time while eating.
So usually it was Song Jingwei who said about himself, what the young man should do or what, the young man always looked sorry for him and was afraid that he would starve to death.
Sleeping in one place at night, Song Jingwei slept soundly when he touched the bed because he was tired.The young man lying next to him had his eyes open. Although he was tired, he couldn't sleep well.He turned over and looked at the sleeping person next to the pillow, with some annoyance and irritability in his heart.When he just married Song Jingwei back home, he thought that as long as he was there, he would be fine. If he didn't leave the house, he could see her every day when he opened his eyes, and it would be nice to live together.
Later, when she found out that Song Jingwei had a baby, Shen Junxi was pleasantly surprised and had another wish.He hoped that the two of them would get along well and raise their children well.If Song Jingwei could treat him better in front of the children, he would be satisfied.
These were all realized later, especially after the baby was born, the baby's little father gradually became nice to him.I can eat what he puts in, I don’t dislike his touch anymore, and I can joke with him occasionally, it’s really harmonious and warm like never before.
It's obviously a great thing, but why do you feel more and more irritable?Always feel bad?
Shen Junxi hadn't thought that there is a word in this world called desire is hard to fill, or it can also be said that people are not enough.
When a person is desperate, his request may be very simple, as long as he can live, he is fine.When he survived successfully and got more hope, he would want more.Words like "I'm satisfied as long as I do what I want" are all false, and they are nothing more than a desperate compromise.
But now Shen Junxi, he is afraid to move forward, he is hesitating between breaking the peace and fighting for it, or continuing to enjoy the peace, he is really scared.Song Jingwei is no better than others, he is a person who may abandon everything if he disagrees with others, and fly away.Even if there is stupidity between them, Shen Junxi is not sure that Song Jingwei will soften his heart.
Because of this, he seemed hesitant even to secretly kiss Song Jingwei...
Although I really wanted to get close, I still didn't.
Getting up early the next day, Song Jingwei woke up earlier than Shen Junxi.He looked at the young man beside him in a rare way, why he hadn't seen him all night, and even had dark circles under his eyes, so he asked curiously, "Did you go sleepwalking last night?"
Shen Junxi blinked his pan-acid eyes, shook his head in bewilderment, and continued to plunge into the quilt.
Every time I see him, he is always full of energy, as if he will never be tired.Except for the last time when he had a fever, Song Jingwei rarely saw Shen Junxi listless.
"Go on to sleep if you're not feeling well. I'll order breakfast." Song Jingwei said. Compared with the young man, he slept very well last night, and he is particularly energetic today.
"Hmm..." Shen Junxi said in a muffled voice, looking at his wife's back, he sighed weakly.
Today Xiao Er brought breakfast, Song Jingwei stopped him and asked, "Does Xiao Er know that there is a place called Shiku Mountain nearby?"
The second brother immediately replied: "I know, Shiku Mountain is near our town, and it takes about half an hour to walk there."
Song Jingwei also knew about this before he came, but he just asked casually. He nodded and said, "I see, thank you." He didn't have the habit of giving rewards casually, so he didn't know that the second brother was slandering him in his heart.
"The two guest officers are going to the Grotto Mountain?" the younger brother asked curiously.
"Yes, I want to go to Shiku Mountain to find some tea seeds. I heard that your rock tea is very famous here." Song Jingwei said.
"Rock tea, that's right. Rock tea is the only one in our Shiku Town, and it's not available in other places." The younger brother smiled and said: "It's the first time for the guest officer. If you want to go to Shiku Mountain, why don't you buy it?" It’s better to find a guide. The terrain over there is very dangerous.”
This sounds reasonable, Song Jingwei said: "I'm just looking for a guide, I wonder if the little brother has any recommendations?"
The second brother said: "I have a relative who has been in and out of the Grotto Mountain all year round, and he is very familiar with the terrain there. He knows many tea farmers who grow tea, so it must be very suitable for you."
Song Jingwei nodded: "How can I contact your relative?"
The second brother said: "If you really need it, I'll just help you get in touch."
Song Jingwei said: "Okay, then I will trouble you, and I will give you a little remuneration at that time."
The second brother smiled and said, "Thank you very much."
After breakfast, the relative contacted by the waiter came to the inn.He was a dark-skinned middle-aged man, about the same age as Shen Dongming, but thinner than Shen Dongming, and looked a bit honest.
"My name is Aji. If the two guests want to go to the Grotto Mountain, I can take you there." Aji scratched his head and said, a little simple and honest when he spoke.
"Okay, after this trip, I will give you five slings of money as a reward." After Song Jingwei said, he also gave the waiter a little copper coins, about thirty or so, and there were quite a few tips as a thank you.
Aji grinned happily, Wudiao was a lot of money, and he couldn't get so much money even if he brought people into the mountains.
After Song Jingwei and his group left, the waiter in the shop talked to the shopkeeper and hurried out.When I came to the place where the gangsters and hooligans haunted the town, I found the little hooligan who usually cooperates, and he said, "Where's your boss?"
The little hooligan squinted and said, "What's the matter with looking for a boss? Is there any big business?"
Xiaoer said: "It's really a big business, and Aji has already brought it into the mountains, so hurry up and take people there."
The little rascal said: "How many people?"
"Two, they look very rich." The waiter was willing to spend money on food, drink and clothes, and said, "It's just a bit stingy." If he is generous to his customers, he may not necessarily kill them.
"It's just two people, we don't need our boss to take action." The little hooligan stood up and patted the grass clippings on his butt, holding a grass root in his mouth and said casually: "Go, I will take two people to get it done."
Xiao Er worried: "Are you going to make it?" Don't let him take this big business, if it doesn't work, wouldn't it be another loss of income?
"Success, don't worry, it's still the same place?"
"old place."
When you get to the foot of the mountain by carriage, you have to walk up.Song Jingwei ordered the coachman to wait at the foot of the mountain, and then Shen Junxi carried the burden, and the two followed Aji slowly into the mountain.
Aji looked honest and dull, but in fact he talked a lot. Along the way, he introduced them to the Grotto Mountain and talked about the local folk customs. The time passed quickly.But gradually, Aji stopped talking and became silent.
"There are very few tea trees on this mountain?" Song Jingwei asked. He saw only a few scattered trees around, which was not as he imagined.
"Over here, there is a large area, all grown by others." Aji said: "The reason why our tea here is called rock tea is because they grow under rocky mountains.
Song Jing nodded slightly and stopped asking.It's been so long, and I'm a little tired.
The young man beside him looked at him and gestured with concern: "Do you want to rest for a while?"
Song Jingwei thought about it, and it would be good to rest for a while, so he nodded to the young man: "Okay, I will tell the guide." The present Aji has disappeared.
In a blink of an eye, there is no one in front of or around, which is impossible, unless Aji deliberately hides.
"Be careful." Song Jingwei's heart trembled, he took Shen Junxi's hand, and said decisively: "Let's go!"
Seeing his daughter-in-law's nervous appearance, Shen Junxi probably knew something was wrong.Without further ado, he started to run, and he heard Song Jingwei say: "You can't go back, go forward." If this matter was planned in the morning, then the person coming must be behind, and it is impossible for them to go back safely .
Right now, in addition to avoiding the people coming from behind, they also have to avoid Aji...
Song Jingwei calmed down, and took Shen Junxi to run to a place with many forked roads. Even if he ran more and more sideways, it was better than staying where he was and waiting for someone to slaughter him.
Not long after they left, the little hooligan brought a bunch of gangsters to the usual place where they usually communicated, but he didn't see anyone.Patiently searching around, but still not there, he cursed and said: "This damn Aji, you have done bad things to me again!"
Another bastard said: "Did he remember the wrong place?" Seeing that Aji is not a smart person, he didn't know why the boss asked Aji to be his guide.
"It's not the first time the eldest girl got on the bridal sedan chair, how could she remember wrongly?" The little hooligan cursed unhappily: "He must have benefited and went to eat alone."
"Is this impossible? With Aji's body..."
"Stop talking nonsense, go and look for me!" The little hooligan kicked the weeds on the side of the road, and led the two to search for people all over the mountains and plains.
At this time, Song Jingwei and Shen Junxi were still running around, worried that a crowd of people would suddenly appear and they would have nowhere to escape.But going up the mountain just now has exhausted a lot of physical strength, and the two of them don't have any extra strength to run anymore.
Walking to the edge of a big rock, the two had to stop, panting for a while to rest.
Song Jingwei said: "My feet are cramping..."
Shen Junxi looked at his feet, knelt down to help him massage them, and frowned at the same time.Cramp, his wife's feet can no longer walk, otherwise it will be more uncomfortable, he gestured: "I will walk with you behind my back."
"No need." Song Jingwei waved his hand and said, "I'll take a break..."
Shen Junxi pursed her lips, continued to massage him in frustration, and kept blaming herself for being too careless.When I go out for a long time, I don't know anything, and I can't help anything.Thinking of their journey, it seemed that Song Jingwei was making up his mind about everything, but he was just a useless baggage.
"I didn't expect that either." Song Jingwei was sitting on the rock. Seeing the young man's expression of eagerness to go back and rebuild, he said, "When you go out, there are risks everywhere, and no one can guarantee that you can see through them every time. This time I was careless, I thought the waiter in the inn would be trustworthy." After all, inns and restaurants are the places with the best information, and whoever comes will subconsciously ask the waiter in the inn.
What's more, as far as Song Jingwei observed, Shiku Town is a small town with simple folk customs, and it is not that complicated.Unexpectedly, the world is unpredictable, no matter how simple a place is, there will be a few rat droppings.
"..." Shen Junxi looked up at his daughter-in-law, earnestly gestured and said, "You've done a great job, I can't compare to you." In his heart, he actually admired Song Jingwei, and he always felt that he could do anything.But this worship, he will secretly bury it in the bottom of his heart, keeping it as a little secret.
"Hey, who wants to compare with you." Song Jing smiled, he was naturally looking forward, rather than comparing with Shen Junxi, a country boy who had never seen the world.But it doesn't mean that Shen Junxi's behavior is bad, if it were a shrewd and sophisticated person, Song Jingwei probably wouldn't even glance at him.
"..." Seeing Song Jing smiling, Shen Junxi also pursed his lips and smiled, feeling the tension in his heart loosen a lot.
"Press it again, press harder, and find a place to hide in a while." Song Jingwei thumped his leg and said.
"En." Shen Junxi lowered his head seriously, pressing his legs one after another.
Suddenly, I heard voices from nearby...
Song Jingwei held his breath and listened intently for a while, and he was not far away: "Go!" He said, they stood up like frightened birds and hurried on the road.
The condition of my feet is not good yet, and I feel uncomfortable after running for a while.Even with Shen Junxi's support, Song Jingwei walked uncomfortably, and was about to be caught up by the people behind.
The young man was so anxious that beads of sweat formed on his forehead, he tried his best to bring his daughter-in-law to him, but the mountain road was difficult...
"There they are! I saw them!" A rough voice came, and then several figures appeared behind, chasing closely.
"Quick! Stop them!" The little hooligan gritted his teeth and almost let the fat sheep run away this time.
Song Jingwei had a premonition that he would not be able to run, so he said to the young man out of breath, "I can't run anymore, you can run with your burden..."
Shen Junxi shook his head desperately, how could this be possible, how could he leave his wife and run away alone.Seeing that he was about to go down the mountain, the terrain gradually became more muddy and weedy. He hoped that he could hold on for a while, and maybe he could be rescued when he got to a place where there were people...
The moment they were thinking this way, a clear light suddenly opened up in front of them, and the two of them fell down together.
"Where is the person?" The three bastards ran here, suddenly disappeared, and they all looked around strangely.
"Boss, this is the Forest of Book Steles..." A bastard Qi Qi Ai Ai said, only then did they realize that this eerie place was actually a legendary haunted place in their town.
"Book Stele Forest?" The little hooligan's face changed, and he didn't dare to move forward. He just ran away with two fat sheep in vain. Forest of steles, they dare not enter.It is a place where people can eat people without spitting out their bones. I heard that many people died.
"Then what do we do?" asked a bastard.
"What else can we do? We're going back. They won't be able to survive anyway." The little rascal said, walking back with a stinky face, not daring to take a step forward.
On the way back, a bastard said: "Actually, the Forest of Books and Steles is not scary. Cannibalism is just a legend..." He was short on money recently, and he really didn't want to waste this good opportunity.
"You're so bold, why don't you go by yourself?" The little rascal leaned towards him, if he wanted to go, it's fine.
"Hey...how dare I, if you guys go too, I will definitely go." The bastard smiled embarrassingly.
"Hmph! Since you don't have the guts to go alone, then shut up!" the little hooligan snorted coldly, anyway, he made up his mind not to go.
At that time, Song Jingwei and Shen Junxi stepped on the ground, and they rolled all the way down the hillside.Fortunately, what Shen Junxi encountered were clumps of weeds, he was sober, but separated from Song Jingwei, and he didn't know where Song Jingwei was when he got up.
But Song Jingwei didn't have the good luck of Shen Junxi, his head hit the small mound, and he fainted immediately.
Shen Junxi couldn't speak, couldn't call out Song Jingwei's name, he searched from place to place, the more he searched, the more panicked he became... When he found that the sky was getting dark, his heart was almost about to collapse.Obviously they fell down together, and they were still close together at that time, but in a blink of an eye, they separated and couldn't see each other.It was a panic never felt before, since they were married, they were always together.Even if they were not together, Shen Junxi knew very well that Song Jingwei was at home, or waiting for him somewhere.
But now, he couldn't find it.
A full moon hung in the sky, Shen Junxi was tired and hungry, and finally couldn't walk anymore.He fell down on the grass in frustration, never hated himself more than now, if only he could talk, he could yell, at least let Song Jingwei know that he was here.
But right now, the two are separated, and neither can find the other...
The young man is frantically looking for himself, Song Jingwei has no idea.As soon as he opened his eyes, he felt a dull pain in his head.After thinking about the previous situation, I realized that I fell and hit my head.
"Shen Junxi..." The room was a bit dark, and he shouted in a hoarse voice with his hands.
Strangely, after waiting for a long time, the young man did not appear.
"Shen Junxi?" Song Jingwei shouted again, he rubbed his eyes before he could see the situation in the room clearly.It turned out to be a small wooden house, with a pile of charcoal fire burning in the middle, and a pot of boiling water was placed on the charcoal fire, which seemed to be boiling.
"Yeah..." The door of the wooden house was opened, but what entered was not the young man Song Jingwei had imagined, but a strange man with a beard.He is about 1.8 meters tall, tall and burly, with a full face and a wild murderous look between his eyebrows.
Song Jingwei immediately became vigilant, sat up and stared at the other party closely, and asked, "Who are you?"
The bearded man is a hunter in the mountains, named Ahu. He looked at the handsome man picked up by him, and said in a dialect accent: "My name is Ahu. I picked you up. Your brain is broken." He pointed to his head.
"..." Song Jingwei rubbed the back of Bao's head, thinking, your brain is broken.But now is not the time to pay attention to these things, he asked: "Where did you find me, were there other people around at that time?"
"There is no one else." Ah Hu said, slowly sat down by the fire, got some hot water with a cup, and handed it to Song Jingwei: "Here you drink."
It was a mug made of bamboo, and it looked like it was used.Song Jingwei didn't want to drink it at first, but now he was tired, hungry and thirsty, not the time to be picky, so he hesitated for a moment, then took it and said, "Thank you, thank you for saving me back."
No matter what, it's someone else's kindness.
"Hmph..." Ah Hu glanced at the handsome man sitting on the bed, and said, "I saved you because I saw you were handsome."
"..." Song Jingwei stopped drinking water.
"When you arrive at the Forest of Book Steles, don't go out. Leave it to me as a wife. I, Hu, will take care of you in the future." Hu said self-consciously, preparing to cook dinner while setting up a charcoal fire.
"..." Song Jingwei wanted to say something, but when he saw him getting up to get food to cook, he closed his mouth again.Of course, he couldn't stay and be his wife as Ah Hu said.But right now is not the time to talk about this, at least you have to fill your stomach to have the strength to negotiate with Ah Hu.
Ah Hu cooked a pot of porridge, put in some dried meat, and the fragrance gradually wafted out. While stirring the porridge, he struck up a conversation with Song Jingwei, "Where are you from, young master?"
Song Jingwei didn't want to answer at all, and Ah Hu didn't want to know either. He said, "Don't tell me, anyway, you can't get out, so you can be my wife with peace of mind in the future."
Song Jingwei opened his mouth and said unbearably: "I have been married before."
"That's better." Ah Hu was even happier when he heard that, and said with a smile: "I'm going to marry someone like you, it's not easy to kill and live!" That, old and ugly, dare to despise me. He wanted to run away, so I killed him."
"..." Song Jingwei raised his eyes to look at him, but couldn't tell whether what the man said was true or not.If it was true, it might not be so easy to escape this time. It would be better for him to talk less and observe more.
"Don't worry, I don't like killing people. As long as you are obedient, I will treat you well." Ahu said, grinning at his newly picked wife, then he brought a bamboo bowl and filled it Pass the porridge to Song Jingwei: "Eat, you will have strength when you are full."
Song Jingwei was almost unsteady when he took the porridge.
"Hey..." Ah Hu took a deep look at him, returned to the fire, picked up the pot and ate the whole thing.
Although he told Song Jingwei to eat more, he made up his mind not to let Song Jingwei eat too much.People who are full always have inexhaustible energy and always want to escape.
Ah Hu's strange eyes made Song Jingwei feel disgusted, but he had no choice but to turn his head and finish the porridge silently, while thinking quickly in his heart, how to deal with this man with neurotic attributes.
What is annoying is that after eating the porridge, I still haven't thought of any more effective way.
Song Jingwei had no choice but to strike up a conversation with him tentatively, and said, "Have you been here for a long time? You're the only one here?"
Ah Hu obviously also likes to chat, so he answered him happily: "Hey, I've lived here since I was a child, and I wasn't the only one in the past, but they all died."
Song Jing was silent for a while, and continued to ask patiently: "Did they live here before, or did they come here later?"
"My father is here, and they came in later." Ahu looked at him with greedy eyes, and then gave a strange smile: "The men who came in later are not good, and they don't want to stay."
Song Jingwei didn't ask where those people went in the end, he subconsciously avoided this question.
Ah Hu suddenly walked up to him and asked, "What about you? Would you like to stay?" Was this newly picked man the same as the previous men, unwilling to stay with him?
Of course Song Jingwei was unwilling, but in front of this nervous man, he didn't say no, but instead asked, "Then why do you think those people don't want to stay?"
Every time the man was caught, he seemed to be panicked, or he was struggling to fight him.This was the first time Ah Hu saw a man who neither made noise nor fought with him, but talked to himself quietly.Ah Hu liked this kind of feeling, he sat down with interest, and thought: "Why? I don't know, what's wrong with the Forest of Book Steles, but they refuse to stay." According to him, there are food and drinks here. Drinking, no one is in control, living more chicly than anyone else.
"I think there are several reasons." Seeing that he was brought into the topic by herself, Song Jingwei chatted with him leisurely.
"Which ones?" Ah Hu asked curiously.
"First, of course the outside world is more exciting, have you ever been out?" Song Jingwei looked at him and said.
"The outside world?" Ah Hu showed a little yearning look at first, but quickly restrained himself with a stern face, shaking his head and said: "I don't like the outside world, I only like the forest of books and steles."
Song Jingwei grumbled and said, "That's normal. You grew up in the Forest of Book Steles, so you are willing to stay in the Forest of Book Steles. People outside were born and raised outside, so they like to stay outside. That's the reason."
"You are also an outsider, and you want to stay outside too?" Ahu asked, staring at him closely.
"Will you let me go out if I say I miss you?" Song Jingwei asked in a nonchalant manner.
"No." Ahu refused with a sneer, as if he had seen through some conspiracy, and said, "You still don't want to, you just want to talk to me." He didn't look so stupid, and closed the door immediately He stopped talking, and finally put down a sentence: "Don't even think about getting out, you can't get out."
Then he sat down in the room, and glanced at Song Jingwei from time to time with beast-like eyes.After a while, he got up and put on the animal's fur and went out, not knowing what to do.
Song Jingwei heard the sound of locking the door and knew that Ah Hu had locked the door.In fact, even if Ah Hu didn't lock the door, his physical condition would not dare to flee rashly.In case of being caught back, the end will only be worse.What he wanted was a sure hit, as long as there was a suitable opportunity, he would escape smoothly.
He was alone in the room, and he was not in good health, so he sat down for a while and then lay down to rest.
About an hour later, the sound of Ah Hu opening the door woke him up.I only heard the man whispering in the room for a while, and then walked to the bed.
Song Jingwei immediately opened his eyes and sat up, saying, "What are you going to do?"
Ah Hu stood in front of the bed, couldn't see his expression clearly and said: "What are you doing, of course you are sleeping." He then muttered: "There is only one bed here, how can I sleep if I don't sleep on the bed?"
Song Jingwei immediately said: "Then leave this bed for you to sleep on yourself." He rolled up his cloak and moved out of the bed. When he stood up, he felt dizzy for a while, maybe it was a concussion, he thought uncomfortably.
"You..." Ah Hu's eyes widened, as if he was a little angry, but also helplessly said: "Forget it, you still sleep on the bed, and I will make a bed on the floor." He turned around and found a piece of animal fur from nowhere. Lay it out on the open space in the house.
Seeing this, Song Jingwei continued to sit on the bed.At the same time, he took a long breath in his heart. He thought that Ah Hu would forcibly force him, but the result showed that Ah Hu was not very unreasonable.At least Song Jingwei was sure that Ah Hu had never killed anyone.
"What are you doing sitting down? I told you I don't sleep on the bed." After Ahu lay down, he saw that the man was still sitting on the bed, and he said angrily, "Don't worry, your bones are too weak. Wait until you raise your body." Get well, I'll sleep with you again!"
"..." Song Jingwei lowered his eyes in silence, he planned to wait for Ah Hu to fall asleep before lying down.
"Hmph..." Ah Hu saw that he was ignoring him, and turned over. After a while, there was a series of snores in the room.
Song Jing frowned slightly, it seemed that he didn't need to sleep tonight.It is difficult for him to fall asleep when there is a little noise, and it is even more impossible for him to fall asleep in this environment.He couldn't help feeling disgusted with the man on the ground, he was not only crazy, but also a dirty and rude person.He couldn't help thinking of Shen Junxi, living with Shen Junxi for so long, it seems that everything is good now.At least that young man loves cleanliness, doesn't snore when he sleeps, doesn't grow a beard on his face, and doesn't smell like wild animals on his body.
Thinking about this, Song Jingwei just rested on the head of the bed for a while, and it was dawn.
When Ah Hu got up and saw his eyes open, he thought he got up early, so he hummed a few times.After Ah Hu went out for a while and came back, he found that the man on the bed had fallen asleep.
In fact, Song Jingwei was too tired, once the room became quiet, he couldn't bear it and fell asleep.When he woke up again, the smell of food lingered in his nostrils.
"Hey! Do you want to starve to death, get up and eat!" Ah Hu walked over and shouted, holding a bowl of food in his hand, including grain and meat, a full bowl.He thought about it last night, this man is too thin, his body is too weak, he can't do without food.Otherwise, if he died without sleeping for two nights, who would pay him a beautiful daughter-in-law.
"..." Song Jingwei took the bowl of rice silently, and said in a dry voice, "I want to drink some water."
Hearing this, Ah Hu immediately poured him a glass of warm water.When he saw the handsome man drinking water, he suddenly realized why he was serving this man by himself?The appearance of this man ordering others, as if he is used to it, is indeed a young master.
After Song Jingwei finished drinking the water, he silently swallowed the meat and rice in his hands.They are not tasty,
When the mute heard that the other party was a wealthy family, he believed a lot in his heart, he gestured hesitantly and said, "You really... give me retirement?"
Song Jingwei said: "It's true, what I say counts, you should think about it carefully."
Seeing the dumb man lowering his head and thinking, they knew that this matter could be accomplished.Sure enough, not long after, the mute raised his head and gestured: "Okay, anyway, I'm old, and you can't lie to me, so I'll just trust you once."
Song Jing smiled. Just now he was worried that they had cheated his lotus seeds, but now he said that they couldn't cheat him. The old man must have stepped down for himself.But he won't try to tear down the old man's platform, he said: "I'm very happy if you promise me, then it's settled." He looked at Shen Junxi and said: "We'll go outside and find someone to come in and dig lotus roots later. By the way, hire a few more bullock carts." Now, only bullock carts can be used to transport things.
"En." The young man nodded.
He left as soon as he said he would go, and immediately drove the carriage out again.Fortunately, it was easier to walk during the day than at night, and I went out to the town in less than an hour.I hired a few part-time workers in the market, and hired a few ox carts, and hurried back.
The technique of digging lotus roots is also very particular. The mute gestured to them and said: "The lotus seeds must be dug from the bottom to the bottom. Don't break off the young shoots, and don't wash them too clean. You need to bring some soil."
"That's right." Song Jingwei repeated it to the workers, saying, "Dig carefully, try to get all the beard and tail, don't wash the soil clean, and don't damage the sprouts."
Everyone is a farmer, and they are the best at doing farm work, and they will do it once the host tells them.
Visually predicting that the pond would have to be dug for more than two or three days, Song Jingwei made a good deal in his heart and arranged it this way.The lotus roots dug out every day were sent back to Chashan Village by the coachman in time.By the way, let the dumb boy go back with him, and bring the letter that Song Jingwei asked Shen Junxi to write. Shen Dongming and Chen Xianggui understood the letter as soon as they saw it.Then arrange the manpower and start planting.
"Today we can dig out about three carts, put them overnight, and start driving before dawn tomorrow." Song Jingwei said to the dumb man, "You go back with them, and I will leave the lotus root planting to you." After a pause , He continued: "This pool of lotus roots will be given to you at the market price. When the time comes, all the lotus roots will be dug up, and then the price will be calculated. What do you think?"
The mute nodded and gestured, "Okay, there's nothing wrong."
The next day, after the mute left with the ox cart carrying lotus roots, there were only the two of them left here.After staying for two or three days, a pond of lotus root was dug up, and I also received a letter from Chen Xianggui, saying that everything went well.
I thought that with the mute, it should be smooth.
"I'm going to Shikuyan next. It seems like you mentioned this place before?" Song Jingwei took out the letter paper and looked at the detailed address on it. It seemed that Shen Junxi had mentioned it before.
"En." Shen Junxi gestured: "I told you a few years ago that this place is a little far away." At that time, the daughter-in-law wanted to go out while she was pregnant with the baby, but he stopped her.
"It's not too far from here." After all, they were quite far away from home, and starting from here was considered a convenient way.
After finishing the house and the pond on the dumb side, get on the seat and continue to head towards the Grotto Rock.After walking for three days and two nights on the road, they stopped and spent the night in a small inn in Shiku Town.
"..." After traveling for so many days without eating or sleeping well, Shen Junxi watched his wife's face turn paler and paler. After settling down, he gestured: "Take a good rest first, and I'll get Xiao Er to send you some heat." The water is gone, and I will go to the kitchen to ask for some delicious food."
"Yeah." Song Jing leaned slightly on the bed, and replied lazily, he was indeed exhausted: "Come and get some money, and make something delicious." From the bedside bag, he took out a bag of broken pieces Silver, throw it to the youth.
"En." Shen Junxi then put it into his arms, in fact, the broken silver on his body was enough.But thinking of his daughter-in-law's body, I couldn't help but want to buy a lot of meat for him to eat and make up for it.
When he arrived at the kitchen, he ordered a few nutritious foods directly from the cook, but the price was a bit expensive. If he bought the ingredients and made them himself, Yang could also make them.About the time of a cup of tea, followed Xiaoer to deliver hot water to the house.Shen Junxi walked to the bedside, and Song Jingwei was resting with his eyes closed. When he opened his eyes, he gestured and said, "The hot water is here, go take a bath." He knew that his daughter-in-law loves being clean the most, so I'm afraid Already very uncomfortable.
"Okay." Song Jingwei replied, really actively got up to take a bath.
Shen Junxi helped him tidy up his clothes, but in fact he just changed his inner clothes.When you are away from home, changing clothes is not as convenient as at home.
After taking a hot bath, Song Jingwei looked at the young man sitting quietly in the room, and said to him: "There is water left in it, you should go wash it first."
"En." Shen Junxi looked up at him, and nodded happily, looking very happy.
When he also came out, Xiaoer happened to knock on the door, and it was Shen Junxi who opened it. Seeing Xiaoer, he said enthusiastically, "You two are objective, your food is here." They are all not cheap talents, so Xiaoer Twenty is very enthusiastic, maybe there is a reward?
Shen Junxi stepped aside and asked Xiao Er to bring in the food.
"You two are objective, these dishes are the signature dishes of this small shop, you two are lucky today." Xiao Er said with a smile, visually observing the clothes of these two guests, they are really rich people, even if they are not top If you have money, that's not bad.
But when he left the room, the guest didn't intend to give a reward, so he had to leave resentfully.
"Let's eat." Song Jingwei said while sitting at the side table, and immediately picked up the chopsticks to eat. He was about to vomit after eating dry food and snacks these days.
"..." Shen Junxi sat beside him quietly, picking up vegetables for him from time to time.
Although Song Jingwei showed disgust, he didn't throw it back into his bowl. He ate it, but said vaguely: "Eat yours, I have my own hands."
"..." Shen Junxi looked at the food on the table, pretending not to hear, and paying attention to him from time to time while eating.
So usually it was Song Jingwei who said about himself, what the young man should do or what, the young man always looked sorry for him and was afraid that he would starve to death.
Sleeping in one place at night, Song Jingwei slept soundly when he touched the bed because he was tired.The young man lying next to him had his eyes open. Although he was tired, he couldn't sleep well.He turned over and looked at the sleeping person next to the pillow, with some annoyance and irritability in his heart.When he just married Song Jingwei back home, he thought that as long as he was there, he would be fine. If he didn't leave the house, he could see her every day when he opened his eyes, and it would be nice to live together.
Later, when she found out that Song Jingwei had a baby, Shen Junxi was pleasantly surprised and had another wish.He hoped that the two of them would get along well and raise their children well.If Song Jingwei could treat him better in front of the children, he would be satisfied.
These were all realized later, especially after the baby was born, the baby's little father gradually became nice to him.I can eat what he puts in, I don’t dislike his touch anymore, and I can joke with him occasionally, it’s really harmonious and warm like never before.
It's obviously a great thing, but why do you feel more and more irritable?Always feel bad?
Shen Junxi hadn't thought that there is a word in this world called desire is hard to fill, or it can also be said that people are not enough.
When a person is desperate, his request may be very simple, as long as he can live, he is fine.When he survived successfully and got more hope, he would want more.Words like "I'm satisfied as long as I do what I want" are all false, and they are nothing more than a desperate compromise.
But now Shen Junxi, he is afraid to move forward, he is hesitating between breaking the peace and fighting for it, or continuing to enjoy the peace, he is really scared.Song Jingwei is no better than others, he is a person who may abandon everything if he disagrees with others, and fly away.Even if there is stupidity between them, Shen Junxi is not sure that Song Jingwei will soften his heart.
Because of this, he seemed hesitant even to secretly kiss Song Jingwei...
Although I really wanted to get close, I still didn't.
Getting up early the next day, Song Jingwei woke up earlier than Shen Junxi.He looked at the young man beside him in a rare way, why he hadn't seen him all night, and even had dark circles under his eyes, so he asked curiously, "Did you go sleepwalking last night?"
Shen Junxi blinked his pan-acid eyes, shook his head in bewilderment, and continued to plunge into the quilt.
Every time I see him, he is always full of energy, as if he will never be tired.Except for the last time when he had a fever, Song Jingwei rarely saw Shen Junxi listless.
"Go on to sleep if you're not feeling well. I'll order breakfast." Song Jingwei said. Compared with the young man, he slept very well last night, and he is particularly energetic today.
"Hmm..." Shen Junxi said in a muffled voice, looking at his wife's back, he sighed weakly.
Today Xiao Er brought breakfast, Song Jingwei stopped him and asked, "Does Xiao Er know that there is a place called Shiku Mountain nearby?"
The second brother immediately replied: "I know, Shiku Mountain is near our town, and it takes about half an hour to walk there."
Song Jingwei also knew about this before he came, but he just asked casually. He nodded and said, "I see, thank you." He didn't have the habit of giving rewards casually, so he didn't know that the second brother was slandering him in his heart.
"The two guest officers are going to the Grotto Mountain?" the younger brother asked curiously.
"Yes, I want to go to Shiku Mountain to find some tea seeds. I heard that your rock tea is very famous here." Song Jingwei said.
"Rock tea, that's right. Rock tea is the only one in our Shiku Town, and it's not available in other places." The younger brother smiled and said: "It's the first time for the guest officer. If you want to go to Shiku Mountain, why don't you buy it?" It’s better to find a guide. The terrain over there is very dangerous.”
This sounds reasonable, Song Jingwei said: "I'm just looking for a guide, I wonder if the little brother has any recommendations?"
The second brother said: "I have a relative who has been in and out of the Grotto Mountain all year round, and he is very familiar with the terrain there. He knows many tea farmers who grow tea, so it must be very suitable for you."
Song Jingwei nodded: "How can I contact your relative?"
The second brother said: "If you really need it, I'll just help you get in touch."
Song Jingwei said: "Okay, then I will trouble you, and I will give you a little remuneration at that time."
The second brother smiled and said, "Thank you very much."
After breakfast, the relative contacted by the waiter came to the inn.He was a dark-skinned middle-aged man, about the same age as Shen Dongming, but thinner than Shen Dongming, and looked a bit honest.
"My name is Aji. If the two guests want to go to the Grotto Mountain, I can take you there." Aji scratched his head and said, a little simple and honest when he spoke.
"Okay, after this trip, I will give you five slings of money as a reward." After Song Jingwei said, he also gave the waiter a little copper coins, about thirty or so, and there were quite a few tips as a thank you.
Aji grinned happily, Wudiao was a lot of money, and he couldn't get so much money even if he brought people into the mountains.
After Song Jingwei and his group left, the waiter in the shop talked to the shopkeeper and hurried out.When I came to the place where the gangsters and hooligans haunted the town, I found the little hooligan who usually cooperates, and he said, "Where's your boss?"
The little hooligan squinted and said, "What's the matter with looking for a boss? Is there any big business?"
Xiaoer said: "It's really a big business, and Aji has already brought it into the mountains, so hurry up and take people there."
The little rascal said: "How many people?"
"Two, they look very rich." The waiter was willing to spend money on food, drink and clothes, and said, "It's just a bit stingy." If he is generous to his customers, he may not necessarily kill them.
"It's just two people, we don't need our boss to take action." The little hooligan stood up and patted the grass clippings on his butt, holding a grass root in his mouth and said casually: "Go, I will take two people to get it done."
Xiao Er worried: "Are you going to make it?" Don't let him take this big business, if it doesn't work, wouldn't it be another loss of income?
"Success, don't worry, it's still the same place?"
"old place."
When you get to the foot of the mountain by carriage, you have to walk up.Song Jingwei ordered the coachman to wait at the foot of the mountain, and then Shen Junxi carried the burden, and the two followed Aji slowly into the mountain.
Aji looked honest and dull, but in fact he talked a lot. Along the way, he introduced them to the Grotto Mountain and talked about the local folk customs. The time passed quickly.But gradually, Aji stopped talking and became silent.
"There are very few tea trees on this mountain?" Song Jingwei asked. He saw only a few scattered trees around, which was not as he imagined.
"Over here, there is a large area, all grown by others." Aji said: "The reason why our tea here is called rock tea is because they grow under rocky mountains.
Song Jing nodded slightly and stopped asking.It's been so long, and I'm a little tired.
The young man beside him looked at him and gestured with concern: "Do you want to rest for a while?"
Song Jingwei thought about it, and it would be good to rest for a while, so he nodded to the young man: "Okay, I will tell the guide." The present Aji has disappeared.
In a blink of an eye, there is no one in front of or around, which is impossible, unless Aji deliberately hides.
"Be careful." Song Jingwei's heart trembled, he took Shen Junxi's hand, and said decisively: "Let's go!"
Seeing his daughter-in-law's nervous appearance, Shen Junxi probably knew something was wrong.Without further ado, he started to run, and he heard Song Jingwei say: "You can't go back, go forward." If this matter was planned in the morning, then the person coming must be behind, and it is impossible for them to go back safely .
Right now, in addition to avoiding the people coming from behind, they also have to avoid Aji...
Song Jingwei calmed down, and took Shen Junxi to run to a place with many forked roads. Even if he ran more and more sideways, it was better than staying where he was and waiting for someone to slaughter him.
Not long after they left, the little hooligan brought a bunch of gangsters to the usual place where they usually communicated, but he didn't see anyone.Patiently searching around, but still not there, he cursed and said: "This damn Aji, you have done bad things to me again!"
Another bastard said: "Did he remember the wrong place?" Seeing that Aji is not a smart person, he didn't know why the boss asked Aji to be his guide.
"It's not the first time the eldest girl got on the bridal sedan chair, how could she remember wrongly?" The little hooligan cursed unhappily: "He must have benefited and went to eat alone."
"Is this impossible? With Aji's body..."
"Stop talking nonsense, go and look for me!" The little hooligan kicked the weeds on the side of the road, and led the two to search for people all over the mountains and plains.
At this time, Song Jingwei and Shen Junxi were still running around, worried that a crowd of people would suddenly appear and they would have nowhere to escape.But going up the mountain just now has exhausted a lot of physical strength, and the two of them don't have any extra strength to run anymore.
Walking to the edge of a big rock, the two had to stop, panting for a while to rest.
Song Jingwei said: "My feet are cramping..."
Shen Junxi looked at his feet, knelt down to help him massage them, and frowned at the same time.Cramp, his wife's feet can no longer walk, otherwise it will be more uncomfortable, he gestured: "I will walk with you behind my back."
"No need." Song Jingwei waved his hand and said, "I'll take a break..."
Shen Junxi pursed her lips, continued to massage him in frustration, and kept blaming herself for being too careless.When I go out for a long time, I don't know anything, and I can't help anything.Thinking of their journey, it seemed that Song Jingwei was making up his mind about everything, but he was just a useless baggage.
"I didn't expect that either." Song Jingwei was sitting on the rock. Seeing the young man's expression of eagerness to go back and rebuild, he said, "When you go out, there are risks everywhere, and no one can guarantee that you can see through them every time. This time I was careless, I thought the waiter in the inn would be trustworthy." After all, inns and restaurants are the places with the best information, and whoever comes will subconsciously ask the waiter in the inn.
What's more, as far as Song Jingwei observed, Shiku Town is a small town with simple folk customs, and it is not that complicated.Unexpectedly, the world is unpredictable, no matter how simple a place is, there will be a few rat droppings.
"..." Shen Junxi looked up at his daughter-in-law, earnestly gestured and said, "You've done a great job, I can't compare to you." In his heart, he actually admired Song Jingwei, and he always felt that he could do anything.But this worship, he will secretly bury it in the bottom of his heart, keeping it as a little secret.
"Hey, who wants to compare with you." Song Jing smiled, he was naturally looking forward, rather than comparing with Shen Junxi, a country boy who had never seen the world.But it doesn't mean that Shen Junxi's behavior is bad, if it were a shrewd and sophisticated person, Song Jingwei probably wouldn't even glance at him.
"..." Seeing Song Jing smiling, Shen Junxi also pursed his lips and smiled, feeling the tension in his heart loosen a lot.
"Press it again, press harder, and find a place to hide in a while." Song Jingwei thumped his leg and said.
"En." Shen Junxi lowered his head seriously, pressing his legs one after another.
Suddenly, I heard voices from nearby...
Song Jingwei held his breath and listened intently for a while, and he was not far away: "Go!" He said, they stood up like frightened birds and hurried on the road.
The condition of my feet is not good yet, and I feel uncomfortable after running for a while.Even with Shen Junxi's support, Song Jingwei walked uncomfortably, and was about to be caught up by the people behind.
The young man was so anxious that beads of sweat formed on his forehead, he tried his best to bring his daughter-in-law to him, but the mountain road was difficult...
"There they are! I saw them!" A rough voice came, and then several figures appeared behind, chasing closely.
"Quick! Stop them!" The little hooligan gritted his teeth and almost let the fat sheep run away this time.
Song Jingwei had a premonition that he would not be able to run, so he said to the young man out of breath, "I can't run anymore, you can run with your burden..."
Shen Junxi shook his head desperately, how could this be possible, how could he leave his wife and run away alone.Seeing that he was about to go down the mountain, the terrain gradually became more muddy and weedy. He hoped that he could hold on for a while, and maybe he could be rescued when he got to a place where there were people...
The moment they were thinking this way, a clear light suddenly opened up in front of them, and the two of them fell down together.
"Where is the person?" The three bastards ran here, suddenly disappeared, and they all looked around strangely.
"Boss, this is the Forest of Book Steles..." A bastard Qi Qi Ai Ai said, only then did they realize that this eerie place was actually a legendary haunted place in their town.
"Book Stele Forest?" The little hooligan's face changed, and he didn't dare to move forward. He just ran away with two fat sheep in vain. Forest of steles, they dare not enter.It is a place where people can eat people without spitting out their bones. I heard that many people died.
"Then what do we do?" asked a bastard.
"What else can we do? We're going back. They won't be able to survive anyway." The little rascal said, walking back with a stinky face, not daring to take a step forward.
On the way back, a bastard said: "Actually, the Forest of Books and Steles is not scary. Cannibalism is just a legend..." He was short on money recently, and he really didn't want to waste this good opportunity.
"You're so bold, why don't you go by yourself?" The little rascal leaned towards him, if he wanted to go, it's fine.
"Hey...how dare I, if you guys go too, I will definitely go." The bastard smiled embarrassingly.
"Hmph! Since you don't have the guts to go alone, then shut up!" the little hooligan snorted coldly, anyway, he made up his mind not to go.
At that time, Song Jingwei and Shen Junxi stepped on the ground, and they rolled all the way down the hillside.Fortunately, what Shen Junxi encountered were clumps of weeds, he was sober, but separated from Song Jingwei, and he didn't know where Song Jingwei was when he got up.
But Song Jingwei didn't have the good luck of Shen Junxi, his head hit the small mound, and he fainted immediately.
Shen Junxi couldn't speak, couldn't call out Song Jingwei's name, he searched from place to place, the more he searched, the more panicked he became... When he found that the sky was getting dark, his heart was almost about to collapse.Obviously they fell down together, and they were still close together at that time, but in a blink of an eye, they separated and couldn't see each other.It was a panic never felt before, since they were married, they were always together.Even if they were not together, Shen Junxi knew very well that Song Jingwei was at home, or waiting for him somewhere.
But now, he couldn't find it.
A full moon hung in the sky, Shen Junxi was tired and hungry, and finally couldn't walk anymore.He fell down on the grass in frustration, never hated himself more than now, if only he could talk, he could yell, at least let Song Jingwei know that he was here.
But right now, the two are separated, and neither can find the other...
The young man is frantically looking for himself, Song Jingwei has no idea.As soon as he opened his eyes, he felt a dull pain in his head.After thinking about the previous situation, I realized that I fell and hit my head.
"Shen Junxi..." The room was a bit dark, and he shouted in a hoarse voice with his hands.
Strangely, after waiting for a long time, the young man did not appear.
"Shen Junxi?" Song Jingwei shouted again, he rubbed his eyes before he could see the situation in the room clearly.It turned out to be a small wooden house, with a pile of charcoal fire burning in the middle, and a pot of boiling water was placed on the charcoal fire, which seemed to be boiling.
"Yeah..." The door of the wooden house was opened, but what entered was not the young man Song Jingwei had imagined, but a strange man with a beard.He is about 1.8 meters tall, tall and burly, with a full face and a wild murderous look between his eyebrows.
Song Jingwei immediately became vigilant, sat up and stared at the other party closely, and asked, "Who are you?"
The bearded man is a hunter in the mountains, named Ahu. He looked at the handsome man picked up by him, and said in a dialect accent: "My name is Ahu. I picked you up. Your brain is broken." He pointed to his head.
"..." Song Jingwei rubbed the back of Bao's head, thinking, your brain is broken.But now is not the time to pay attention to these things, he asked: "Where did you find me, were there other people around at that time?"
"There is no one else." Ah Hu said, slowly sat down by the fire, got some hot water with a cup, and handed it to Song Jingwei: "Here you drink."
It was a mug made of bamboo, and it looked like it was used.Song Jingwei didn't want to drink it at first, but now he was tired, hungry and thirsty, not the time to be picky, so he hesitated for a moment, then took it and said, "Thank you, thank you for saving me back."
No matter what, it's someone else's kindness.
"Hmph..." Ah Hu glanced at the handsome man sitting on the bed, and said, "I saved you because I saw you were handsome."
"..." Song Jingwei stopped drinking water.
"When you arrive at the Forest of Book Steles, don't go out. Leave it to me as a wife. I, Hu, will take care of you in the future." Hu said self-consciously, preparing to cook dinner while setting up a charcoal fire.
"..." Song Jingwei wanted to say something, but when he saw him getting up to get food to cook, he closed his mouth again.Of course, he couldn't stay and be his wife as Ah Hu said.But right now is not the time to talk about this, at least you have to fill your stomach to have the strength to negotiate with Ah Hu.
Ah Hu cooked a pot of porridge, put in some dried meat, and the fragrance gradually wafted out. While stirring the porridge, he struck up a conversation with Song Jingwei, "Where are you from, young master?"
Song Jingwei didn't want to answer at all, and Ah Hu didn't want to know either. He said, "Don't tell me, anyway, you can't get out, so you can be my wife with peace of mind in the future."
Song Jingwei opened his mouth and said unbearably: "I have been married before."
"That's better." Ah Hu was even happier when he heard that, and said with a smile: "I'm going to marry someone like you, it's not easy to kill and live!" That, old and ugly, dare to despise me. He wanted to run away, so I killed him."
"..." Song Jingwei raised his eyes to look at him, but couldn't tell whether what the man said was true or not.If it was true, it might not be so easy to escape this time. It would be better for him to talk less and observe more.
"Don't worry, I don't like killing people. As long as you are obedient, I will treat you well." Ahu said, grinning at his newly picked wife, then he brought a bamboo bowl and filled it Pass the porridge to Song Jingwei: "Eat, you will have strength when you are full."
Song Jingwei was almost unsteady when he took the porridge.
"Hey..." Ah Hu took a deep look at him, returned to the fire, picked up the pot and ate the whole thing.
Although he told Song Jingwei to eat more, he made up his mind not to let Song Jingwei eat too much.People who are full always have inexhaustible energy and always want to escape.
Ah Hu's strange eyes made Song Jingwei feel disgusted, but he had no choice but to turn his head and finish the porridge silently, while thinking quickly in his heart, how to deal with this man with neurotic attributes.
What is annoying is that after eating the porridge, I still haven't thought of any more effective way.
Song Jingwei had no choice but to strike up a conversation with him tentatively, and said, "Have you been here for a long time? You're the only one here?"
Ah Hu obviously also likes to chat, so he answered him happily: "Hey, I've lived here since I was a child, and I wasn't the only one in the past, but they all died."
Song Jing was silent for a while, and continued to ask patiently: "Did they live here before, or did they come here later?"
"My father is here, and they came in later." Ahu looked at him with greedy eyes, and then gave a strange smile: "The men who came in later are not good, and they don't want to stay."
Song Jingwei didn't ask where those people went in the end, he subconsciously avoided this question.
Ah Hu suddenly walked up to him and asked, "What about you? Would you like to stay?" Was this newly picked man the same as the previous men, unwilling to stay with him?
Of course Song Jingwei was unwilling, but in front of this nervous man, he didn't say no, but instead asked, "Then why do you think those people don't want to stay?"
Every time the man was caught, he seemed to be panicked, or he was struggling to fight him.This was the first time Ah Hu saw a man who neither made noise nor fought with him, but talked to himself quietly.Ah Hu liked this kind of feeling, he sat down with interest, and thought: "Why? I don't know, what's wrong with the Forest of Book Steles, but they refuse to stay." According to him, there are food and drinks here. Drinking, no one is in control, living more chicly than anyone else.
"I think there are several reasons." Seeing that he was brought into the topic by herself, Song Jingwei chatted with him leisurely.
"Which ones?" Ah Hu asked curiously.
"First, of course the outside world is more exciting, have you ever been out?" Song Jingwei looked at him and said.
"The outside world?" Ah Hu showed a little yearning look at first, but quickly restrained himself with a stern face, shaking his head and said: "I don't like the outside world, I only like the forest of books and steles."
Song Jingwei grumbled and said, "That's normal. You grew up in the Forest of Book Steles, so you are willing to stay in the Forest of Book Steles. People outside were born and raised outside, so they like to stay outside. That's the reason."
"You are also an outsider, and you want to stay outside too?" Ahu asked, staring at him closely.
"Will you let me go out if I say I miss you?" Song Jingwei asked in a nonchalant manner.
"No." Ahu refused with a sneer, as if he had seen through some conspiracy, and said, "You still don't want to, you just want to talk to me." He didn't look so stupid, and closed the door immediately He stopped talking, and finally put down a sentence: "Don't even think about getting out, you can't get out."
Then he sat down in the room, and glanced at Song Jingwei from time to time with beast-like eyes.After a while, he got up and put on the animal's fur and went out, not knowing what to do.
Song Jingwei heard the sound of locking the door and knew that Ah Hu had locked the door.In fact, even if Ah Hu didn't lock the door, his physical condition would not dare to flee rashly.In case of being caught back, the end will only be worse.What he wanted was a sure hit, as long as there was a suitable opportunity, he would escape smoothly.
He was alone in the room, and he was not in good health, so he sat down for a while and then lay down to rest.
About an hour later, the sound of Ah Hu opening the door woke him up.I only heard the man whispering in the room for a while, and then walked to the bed.
Song Jingwei immediately opened his eyes and sat up, saying, "What are you going to do?"
Ah Hu stood in front of the bed, couldn't see his expression clearly and said: "What are you doing, of course you are sleeping." He then muttered: "There is only one bed here, how can I sleep if I don't sleep on the bed?"
Song Jingwei immediately said: "Then leave this bed for you to sleep on yourself." He rolled up his cloak and moved out of the bed. When he stood up, he felt dizzy for a while, maybe it was a concussion, he thought uncomfortably.
"You..." Ah Hu's eyes widened, as if he was a little angry, but also helplessly said: "Forget it, you still sleep on the bed, and I will make a bed on the floor." He turned around and found a piece of animal fur from nowhere. Lay it out on the open space in the house.
Seeing this, Song Jingwei continued to sit on the bed.At the same time, he took a long breath in his heart. He thought that Ah Hu would forcibly force him, but the result showed that Ah Hu was not very unreasonable.At least Song Jingwei was sure that Ah Hu had never killed anyone.
"What are you doing sitting down? I told you I don't sleep on the bed." After Ahu lay down, he saw that the man was still sitting on the bed, and he said angrily, "Don't worry, your bones are too weak. Wait until you raise your body." Get well, I'll sleep with you again!"
"..." Song Jingwei lowered his eyes in silence, he planned to wait for Ah Hu to fall asleep before lying down.
"Hmph..." Ah Hu saw that he was ignoring him, and turned over. After a while, there was a series of snores in the room.
Song Jing frowned slightly, it seemed that he didn't need to sleep tonight.It is difficult for him to fall asleep when there is a little noise, and it is even more impossible for him to fall asleep in this environment.He couldn't help feeling disgusted with the man on the ground, he was not only crazy, but also a dirty and rude person.He couldn't help thinking of Shen Junxi, living with Shen Junxi for so long, it seems that everything is good now.At least that young man loves cleanliness, doesn't snore when he sleeps, doesn't grow a beard on his face, and doesn't smell like wild animals on his body.
Thinking about this, Song Jingwei just rested on the head of the bed for a while, and it was dawn.
When Ah Hu got up and saw his eyes open, he thought he got up early, so he hummed a few times.After Ah Hu went out for a while and came back, he found that the man on the bed had fallen asleep.
In fact, Song Jingwei was too tired, once the room became quiet, he couldn't bear it and fell asleep.When he woke up again, the smell of food lingered in his nostrils.
"Hey! Do you want to starve to death, get up and eat!" Ah Hu walked over and shouted, holding a bowl of food in his hand, including grain and meat, a full bowl.He thought about it last night, this man is too thin, his body is too weak, he can't do without food.Otherwise, if he died without sleeping for two nights, who would pay him a beautiful daughter-in-law.
"..." Song Jingwei took the bowl of rice silently, and said in a dry voice, "I want to drink some water."
Hearing this, Ah Hu immediately poured him a glass of warm water.When he saw the handsome man drinking water, he suddenly realized why he was serving this man by himself?The appearance of this man ordering others, as if he is used to it, is indeed a young master.
After Song Jingwei finished drinking the water, he silently swallowed the meat and rice in his hands.They are not tasty,
