Chaimen hears the barking of dogs

Ranger left on the morning of the third day of junior high school.

This day, Ren Feng woke up early as usual, but found that Chun Yu had already got up, sitting at the table with a white cloth in his hand.

"Why do you get up so early?" Ren Feng stretched his waist, twisted his neck to move his muscles and bones, obviously he didn't notice anything strange in the room for a while.

Chun Yu didn't say anything, but stared coldly at You Xia's already cold bed, and he squeezed the white cloth in his hand.

Ren Feng followed his eyes and was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "This guy also got up so early today? Interested in catching wild game?"

"He's gone." Chunyu's voice was faint, as if accompanied by the cold air of a winter morning.Perhaps even he himself didn't know why the man left, and his heart was so complicated. It wasn't resentment or joy, but he couldn't find a more suitable word to describe it than complicated.

"En?" Ren Feng, who didn't hear clearly for a while, turned his head in doubt.Chun Yu handed over the white cloth to Ren Feng.

Ren Feng still had doubts in his eyes, looked at Chunyu for a while, and then lowered his head to look at the white cloth.

This white cloth is actually not white, but has a worn-out color, a light beige.No doubt it is as difficult to find a fine white cloth in such a place as it is to find a fat pig.

The handwriting on the white cloth was scribbled, but luckily Ren Feng could understand it.The writing in this world is not far from the modern one, although Ren Feng doesn't know how Ranger knows he can read.But that guy looks carefree, but in fact he has always been as careful as dust.

Because of the sloppy, Ren Feng recognized it for a long time.

Then he froze in place, he couldn't believe it.

'I'm leaving, Xiaofeng. If there is a chance to come back, I will definitely come back to you. Don't hide the banknote under the mattress, it is easy to get damp, put it in a jar!treasure. '

It was obviously a parting speech, but he still made fun of Ren Feng with the bank note.But at this time, Ren Feng obviously couldn't laugh.

Before You Xia left, Ren Feng never really took what You Xia said that he would always be with him.Although the ranger said that at that time, it made his heart feel at ease.But after all, in Ren Feng's view, You Xia is a person who is suitable for the world to be his home. The temporary stability makes him feel at ease, but he always wants to go away, just like whenever he tells the stories of the villages and towns he travels, he is always happy.

But now that he has really left, Ren Feng's heart is not purely sad or hunted, but resentment towards You Xia's breach of trust.It's like a child who originally got the promise of his parents to get the long-awaited plaything, but was told at the end that he couldn't buy it... He wished he could question him face to face, wish he could be rude and make trouble for no reason.

There is no chance because the person has already left.

After Xiao Huang's death, the two lived together for such a long time. Although You Xia behaved like a child on weekdays, loving to play and make trouble, but when it was time to stand out and take responsibility, he was always at the forefront.

That's like a brother.

Ren Feng doesn't have an older brother, and his older sister's weak shoulders obviously can't bear a lot, and the existence of Ranger seems to let him see a brother who can take care of himself, so that he can feel at ease, and let him shout when he can't lift the firewood, "" Ranger, I can’t move anymore.” If you don’t need to show off, if you can’t do it, you still have to do it, and you don’t need to take care of a house alone...

But the person left without even saying goodbye face to face, leaving only such a parting letter written in carbon black.

Ren Feng lowered his head and remained motionless for a long time.Just look at the white cloth.

Chunyu looked at the young man, at the slightly trembling shoulders, finally sighed and stood up.Even if he really doesn't want to play such a role at this time.Because that would give him the feeling that he's a replacement for that man.

but……

Chunyu put both hands on the young man's thin shoulders, without saying a word, just patted with one hand.As for comforting people, Prince Qi Rui of the Great Xia Dynasty was completely helpless.

"How can you leave like this?" After a long time, Ren Feng murmured, as if a child was muttering about an untrustworthy adult.

Chunyu just looked at the young man's hair, the hair was black, but the scalp was extremely white, it looked like unmelted snow in the ebony.

Contrary to Chunyu's expectation, Ren Feng seemed to have no emotional fluctuations after the initial silence for You Xia's departure.

He took out the bank notes hidden in the mattress, then found a small dry jar, stuffed it in, and sealed it with oiled paper and mud.

Chun Yu looked at Ren Feng's actions in surprise. According to You Xia, the boy was going to use the money to open a restaurant.

Ren Feng, however, seemed to know what Chun Yu was thinking, he curled his mouth slightly, smiled wryly, and said, "I'll use this money to open a restaurant after you're all gone."

With these words and the forced smile on the young man's face, Chunyu's heart skipped a beat, "Why? I can help too. The money should be enough to hire someone to help."

Ren Feng just smiled and didn't answer.They are all gone, and he is lonely here alone, so he went out to open a restaurant. Although he is busy, at least his life is still fulfilling, and at least he is not alone.

The boy didn't respond, and Chunyu didn't ask.After seeing the young man put the pot away, he went out with the rice.

It seems that everything is back to normal.

Chunyu wanted to say that she would stay here forever, but is it possible?At least for now, he can't say it so resolutely.

Staying with the teenager all the time, staying here or opening a restaurant, the price is to give up that prosperous world of flowers and flowers, and give up that ultimate right.

He is not sure yet whether he will regret it.

On the fifth day of the first lunar month to welcome the God of Wealth, Ren Feng listened to the bustling sound of Lijia Village, which was sitting on a hill, from the early morning of the previous night, and thought, this day is actually much more lively than New Year's Eve.

Waking up early in the morning, Ren Feng squinted slightly to watch the warm sun slanting into the yard.Such a good sun is really rare in winter.

After basking in the sun for a while, he entered the house.Chunyu has also woken up, sitting on the floor and getting dressed.

"Get up and help me bask in 'wind chicken'." Ren Feng urged.

Chunyu looked at the young man's face facing the sun. The young man's slightly rounded outline looked like a peach with fluff under the sun, "Okay." He responded.He knew that the ranger's departure would actually have a great impact on the young man, but since the young man pretended nothing happened, he also pretended to be ignorant.After a while, the pain will be slowly soothed, just like Xiao Huang's death.

Life and death are something that everyone experiences constantly in their life, because such a person can grow up only when he is considered complete.

'Wind Chicken' is a New Year's dish at Ren Feng's house.Ren Feng remembered that when he was still at home, every New Year's day, every household in the village would marinate several wind chickens.

Ren Feng learned the skill of cooking chicken from his father, and there is no such kind of food in big cities.Ren Feng remembered that he did it when he was an intern in a hotel. Of course, it was not for the guests, but for Sister Zhang and the others.They all like it very much.

You Xia would also like it. When I made it years ago, that guy smelled like a greedy cat when he smelled the marinade.It's a pity that when it was time to eat, the people were gone.

Ren Feng couldn't help showing a little loneliness when he thought about it so far.

In this strange world, he had to admit that he was very dependent, not in his life, but in his heart.

People always have to put something in their hearts so that they don’t feel empty. In the past, Ren Feng only thought about making money and how much money he could send home every year, but when he came to this world, he didn’t have to think about these things.At first, I still thought about my parents, siblings, and gradually realized that there was no way to go back... Xiao Huang at that time, and later Ranger, were all his thoughts. Only when people have thoughts and concerns can they not be so empty ...

Sighing, Ren Feng walked to a tank.

This jar was specially bought for this Fengji. It doesn't look big, but it is much larger than the capacity of that jar.

There is a big stone pressed in the tank, and you can see the chicken body and chicken feet exposed under the big stone...

Ren Feng lifted up the sleeves of his cotton robe to move the stone.

The stone was rough and cold, and most importantly, it was very heavy. In addition, it was winter, Ren Feng exerted all his strength, and his hand was about to bleed from the edges and corners of the stone.The stone did not move at all.

Letting go of his hand, Ren Feng let out a sigh of relief, the stone was moved up by the Ranger.I remember that guy asked why the stone was pressed on the chicken, and even thought the stone was dirty.

Thinking about it now... Ren Feng's heart froze, and he thought of that treacherous guy again.The corner of Ren Feng's mouth twitched into a wry smile, looking at the stone, he wanted to reach out again.

"Let me come!" Chunyu walked in from outside the house just after washing up, and saw the boy looking helpless at the stone in the jar, and saw that smile on the boy's face again in a daze.Chunyu knew that he thought of that man again.

Ren Feng turned his head, his hands were still wide open as if he was about to lift a stone, and when he saw Chunyu behind him, he made way without saying anything.

The stone was indeed heavy, but although Chunyu didn't have the inner strength of a ranger, fortunately, he could still move it.

While moving the stone, Chunyu had already asked about the wine-scented seasoning.

Because the vat has been placed at the air outlet, even though it is in the house, the smell is not too strong.Now that he was getting closer, Chunyu realized that the smell in the vat was accompanied by the smell of meat, wine and unknown spices. Thinking of the way the ranger was drooling that day...he suddenly realized that it was understandable.

After the stone was moved away, Ren Feng looked into the tank, and the chicken that was cut open between the chest and abdomen in the shape of a duck was pressed firmly and flattened by the boulder.It should have been tasty.The process of making wind chicken is actually not complicated. First, the chicken is processed, the breast is cut open, the internal organs are dug out, washed and sprinkled with salt, onion, ginger, fennel, pepper, and the most important thing is wine. This wine is not cooking wine, but white wine. , the higher the alcohol concentration, the better.Fortunately, Lijia Village almost doesn't want anything, but the baijiu is well brewed, sweet and fragrant, so this chicken, Ren Fengguang knows, will definitely be delicious.

"Hang the chickens on the clothes rail outside." Ren Feng said so, and he reached into the tank and picked up two chickens.

Because there are still seasonings on the chicken, the soup is watery, so he has to stay at the mouth of the tank until the juice is almost drained before going out.He didn't want the smell to be everywhere in the room after a while, although it seemed inevitable.

Chunyu followed him and did as he did.

Before the chickens were marinated, Ren Feng wrapped strips of cloth around the necks of each chicken for hanging and air drying.This is how the so-called wind chicken got its name.

In order to make the wind chicken this time, Ren Feng spent a lot of money, a total of ten chickens, which completely violated Ren Feng's "cherishing" of those chickens on weekdays.Ren Feng killed the chicken until his hands were soft, and he collected a lot of the chicken blood, which had been stewed and raised piece by piece in the water, filled with a clay pot and three large bowls.It's just that Ren Feng's family has a custom during the New Year's Eve, and no blood can be seen. The chickens, ducks and pigs were all slaughtered before the New Year's Eve, and Ren Feng also followed his own custom. After eating, it is just a little troublesome to change the water every day.

Hanging individual chickens on the original clothes rail is definitely not pleasing to the eye, but in Ren Feng's eyes, it is undoubtedly the fruit of his labor and has a great sense of accomplishment.

"Xiao Lan, what's your new dish? Why does this marinated chicken look so similar?" Aunt Li held a dustpan in her hand, and the dustpan was full of strips of bacon.

"It's a wind chicken. I'll send you half of it when it's ready for the sun tomorrow. I'll give you a try." Ren Feng said with a smile.

Aunt Li immediately smiled and said, "How embarrassing, our family has eaten a lot of your chickens this year."

Ren Feng also laughed, "Isn't this chicken just for eating?"

Aunt Li nodded, then her small eyes swayed around on the clothes rail and said, "You've done so much to sell?"

Ren Feng shook his head, "This wind chicken can be kept for a long time, we eat it ourselves, and don't sell it." This is also a custom in Ren Feng's hometown, and it is unlucky to sell New Year's vegetables.

Aunt Li nodded again, and then glanced at the courtyard of Ren Feng's house, only to see Chun Yu frowning at her seasoning-stained hands, and asked, "Master You is out? Why aren't you here?"

Ren Feng was taken aback, and Chunyu behind him was also taken aback.Apparently they didn't realize until now that You Xia was Aunt Li's prospective son-in-law.

Ren Feng showed embarrassment, and said after a long time, "He, left."

This time it was Aunt Li who was stunned, as if startled, and immediately raised her voice, "Leaving?"

Ren Feng nodded, his face was a little stiff.

"Are you coming back?" Her family, Xiao Cui, has already reached the age of marriage, and she still plans to settle the marriage this year. How did this go?Immediately, Aunt Li's fat face was full of tangles.

"Maybe come back, maybe not, ha ha." Ren Feng said with a dry smile, feeling that he owed it.

After stopping this answer, Aunt Li's face darkened, "What do you mean you might come back, maybe you won't come back?" Aunt Li's voice raised an octave again, this is what her daughter and her rest of her life hoped for!

Ren Feng didn't expect that Aunt Li would have an attack on the spot, and she froze for a while and didn't know how to deal with it.

"That is to say, it may take time even if they come back." Chun Yu said coldly.

Maybe it was because his voice and his aura were too obvious. Aunt Li in this room realized her gaffe, immediately pulled a fat face, and sighed, "I'm afraid Xiaocui is going to be sad." Her heart It's bleeding too!

"Why haven't you seen Brother Dahan these days?" Ren Feng asked in order to ease the atmosphere.

Aunt Li obviously had no intention of answering, but she still said, "I went to work as a helper at a rich family's house before the New Year's Day, and I won't be back until fifteen years later. Xiao Lan, do you know where this Mr. You lives?" Aunt Li asked unwillingly.

Ren Feng shook his head and could only smile wryly. Could it be that he still wants to come to the door?

Aunt Li finally sighed, dried the bacon and entered the house.

Ren Feng watched Aunt Li leave, and thought to himself, it seems that Aunt Li and perhaps Xiaocui were the ones who reacted the most to You Xia's departure.
