Thanks to Xing Hui and Ji Bai's repeated demands, the house was completed a little faster than they expected, even though in fact it was just an empty shelf.

With his hands on his back, looking at the results of these days like a contract foreman, Zhou Li still has a sense of accomplishment.

At the same time, during this time, their relationship with Xinghui and Ji Bai has also become much better, and they can already be called friends. Especially they spend most time with Zheng Zhilan, and now they get along very harmoniously, like old neighbors who have been together for many years.

This made Zhou Li feel that his suffering was not in vain.

"Hiss......"

Brother Nan stood beside him with his waist crossed, inhaled, and after a long time, she said with emotion: "This is the first house built by Lao Tzu in his life." ”

"Hmm. Zhou Li nodded.

"There's nothing yet, and there's no telling what they're going to do with it. ”

"It should look good. ”

Zhou Li pointed to the open space left in front of the house: "They will plant flowers here, and vegetables and fruit trees here." After many years, the roots of these vines are tightly entangled, and they overlap layer by layer, and the rain will not be penetrating, and in the spring, trumpet flowers will bloom on the green vines that hang down. ”

"How do you know?"

"I listened to them discuss. ”

"Are they around now?" Nan Ge turned his head to look left and right.

"Nope. ”

"Huh?"

"They went up to the hill and cut down trees and made wooden shelves. ”

"Still cutting down trees?" Brother Nan's expression was a little disappointed, "I thought that monsters were all fingers of their hands, and with a special effect, what they wanted would appear on their own." ”

"Huaixu is also a monster, have you ever seen him like this?"

"See you often!" Nan Ge looked at him inexplicably, she suspected that he might have amnesia, "Doesn't he often inexplicably conjure up things like ice cream, beef jerky, cola, and fried chicken burgers on his hands?"

“......”

"Silly?"

"Go back. ”

Zhou Li walked around behind Brother Nan, pressed his hands on her shoulders, and pushed her forward.

They had been here for so long that they had to leave after lunch. If you think about it carefully, you are still a little reluctant, so you can only walk around before leaving.

Back to the courtyard.

The flowers at the gate of the courtyard are blooming well, the corn planted next to it is taller than people, the rhubarb is lying lazily on the ground, and the dumplings are sitting upright on its body.

Miss Xiao Zheng and Qinghe were killing chickens in the yard.

Brother Nan stepped forward and grinned, "Chef, are you eating chicken again at noon today?"

Zheng Zhilan turned her head and looked at her: "This is for you to take away, I heard you say that it is difficult to eat authentic local chickens in the city, I killed two of them and brought them back for you to eat." ”

After a pause, she added, "I'll clean them up, pack them in a few more bags, and wrap them tightly so that they won't stain the backpack and won't smell." ”

Brother Nan blinked-

"Okay!"

Zheng Zhilan looked very happy when she heard this, and lowered her head again to concentrate on killing chickens.

Brother Nan stood next to him and probed his brain to watch her kill.

The chickens here are all authentic running pheasants, grown up eating insects, and I don't know why, the taste is exceptionally good.

Could it be a long growth cycle?

It could also be the influence of an evil god, like the crows that roam the mountains with endless grass and special abilities. Thinking about it this way, even among all the great demons in the world, the evil god should be an extremely special existence.

After killing the chickens, Miss Zheng seemed to be addicted, and went to catch two old ducks that were said to have been raised for three years.

Then there was bacon, smoked chicken, sauced beef, and the kimchi she made, as if she wanted to take everything back to them.

"Okay, okay, enough is enough. ”

Zhou Li felt that he was here to fight the autumn breeze.

Zheng Zhilan turned her head to look at him, her eyes couldn't see clearly, her ears couldn't hear clearly, she whispered 'ah?' blankly, and continued to stuff two pickled kohlrabi into his bag.

Zhou Li was very helpless.

On the other hand, the dumplings were very happy to watch, as if they thought they were very funny now.

Brother Nan was also snickering.

After lunch.

The sun is even hotter than in July.

Zhou Li and Brother Nan stood at the door with their bags on their backs, there was a clear line between the strong light and the shadows, and an inch further out of their toes was the scorching sun.

Huai Xu sat on the tree next to the courtyard, holding a pear and nibbling on it.

Tuanzi looked left and right in Zhou Li's arms.

Zheng Zhilan, Qinghe, as well as Xinghui and Ji Bai were all standing behind them.

"No need to send it, really not. ”

"Rhubarb is enough. ”

"Go back. ”

"We're leaving. ”

“......”

Miss Zheng didn't speak, but after they took two steps, she followed without saying a word.

It wasn't until she got them to the entrance of the village that she stopped, stood in the scorching sun, and watched the figures go farther and farther away. In summer, the bamao is luxuriant, and the path is rarely walked, and soon they are hidden in the bamao bushes and are no longer to be seen.

Her hands were twisted together in front of her, her eyes dilated a little, and she continued to look forward, thinking that their figures might disappear in the gaps of Bamao.

But it didn't.

It took her a long time to withdraw her gaze.

As soon as she turned around, she found that Xinghui and Ji Bai were standing behind her, and Qinghe was also standing not far away.

Xinghui seemed to show a smile, although she didn't look human, and even a little ugly and terrifying, but this smile was warm.

"Are they gone?"

"Hmm. ”

"Go back, it's hot. ”

"Good. ”

The sun is really hot today.

It's okay to walk on the mountain, but occasionally there are a few gusts of wind, as if God gave them alms, and as soon as they walk on the leeward ground, it is very hot.

Zhou Wei hurt the rhubarb and the cows, and let them go back when he went to visit the old master at the Zhihong Temple.

After the old demon left, the old viewer became more and more lonely.

But the helpless thing is that Zhou Li can't help it, there are a lot of helplessness in this world, and you can't do anything about it anyway.

At the gate of Mingjiu Mountain.

Brother Nan opened the tail box and put the bag in, frowning.

A few days ago, when they went down the mountain, they moved the car to the shade of the tree, but it was still hot from the sun, so she asked Zhou Li to stand outside first, and she went in to turn on the window and air conditioner, and was so hot that she grinned for a while, and she didn't let Zhou Li in until the temperature dropped.

"Brother Nan is intimate?" she turned her head and asked Zhou Li.

"Intimate ......" Zhou Li quietly glanced at Brother Nan's left chest.

"Let's go!"

Brother Nan didn't notice Zhou Li's little eyes, she said while driving the car, "Did Aunt Jiang ask you what you're doing outside these days?"

"Asked. ”

"What do you say?"

"I said I would help them with farm work at Huaixu's house. ”

"Aang!"

"Where's your house?"

"Didn't ask. Brother Nan said casually, "How could they ask, I guess they forgot what I said before, 'I'll go to the same school', and most of them thought I was working outside." ”

"Normal. ”

"Then if Aunt Jiang asks if you are with Xiao Nan, how will you return?"

"Xiao Nan... Zhou Li felt so awkward, especially when she called herself Xiao Nan.

“？？”

"Let's be honest. Zhou Li replied honestly.

"Oh?"

"They must have passed the gas a long time ago. Zhou Li played with the claws of the dumplings, pinching the claws and comparing them to the head of the dumplings.

"Yes. ”

Speaking of threshing grain, Brother Nan suddenly said to Zhou Li: "Our hometown will be threshing grain in a few days, do you want to go to my hometown to play?" I will take you to walk the overpass, when I was in elementary school, I liked to walk along the water pipe after school and stay on it. ”

"Then ask someone else to do your homework for you. ”

"How do you know?"

“......”

"To go or not?"

“......”

Is that going to your hometown to play? That's threshing!

Besides, a person like Zhou Li is naturally afraid of seeing his parents.

Brother Nan didn't care, only took out one hand to scratch the itch, and muttered to himself, "I seem to have a card for something...... It seems to be an obedient card. ”

"That card only lasts for one day. ”

"Remember it so clearly!" Brother Nan was a little surprised, "Okay, just one day, let you go back with me on the day,"

“......”
