Chapter Eighty-Three: The Old Mansion Dead
Several of them divided into three routes, and soon went about their own business.
Qin Fan returned to his room and turned out the things that he hadn't had time to take away, but had commemorative value.
Yao Xin went upstairs to the closet to find out the fabrics that had not been gnawed by insects, and these things could be changed to make quilt covers.
But Jin Ju took a fancy to the furniture in Yao's house, which had been brushed with tung oil several times and could prevent insects and corrosion.
She tapped and tapped the width and thickness of the furniture, and patted the wood inside to see if it was damaged.
When the Qin family left, they basically didn't take anything with them except for the clothes on their bodies and the savings fold.
Fortunately, although the Li family and his wife bought this house, they have been working in other places for many years, and it was not smooth after they came back, and they did not live for a few days, so most of these things are there.
In the depths of the wardrobe, Qin Fan dug out the pocket money he had hidden back then, as well as the peace charm that his parents had begged for him in the old temple in the deep mountains.
When these things look at it now, it will only make people's noses sour, and they can't help but recall the happy times of their childhood.
He kept them in his pocket, intending to carry them with him in the future.
The home that looked quite solid before, but now it looks like there is nothing that can be taken out.
Qin Fan also went to see it again in the study, but unfortunately there were no other photos at home except for the photos in the iron box.
"Gone! gone!"
Jin Ju shouted downstairs, interrupting Qin Fan's train of thought.
She looked at the gloomy sky outside, and estimated that it would rain later, and the air at this time was also filled with the smell of earthy rain that was about to rain.
There are a lot of quilts and clothes in the yard, and they are not confiscated at the moment, although Yao Qing is at home, but he can only move his hands at the moment, and there is no shortage of people at home.
"It's coming!"
Yao Xin shouted upstairs in response, holding several quilt covers in his hands, and some fabrics that he hadn't had time to cut his clothes.
Qin Fan brought the two of them here today, in order to scrape all the things that can be used at home, there are not many valuable things at the moment, and there are only some fabrics and clothes that can be used.
When the two of them walked to the first floor, they saw Jin Ju coming out of the kitchen, holding a few bowls and a stack of chopsticks.
"There are several steel plates and pots in this kitchen, you all take them out for me, take them home and use them, it's better than those rotten tables and benches!"
She moved very gently in her hands, for fear of accidentally breaking the bowls.
The three of them didn't pull a trailer or anything this time, so they could only rely on manpower to carry them one by one.
It's a lot of work and effort.
There weren't many things left in the kitchen, and the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar from that year had long expired and could no longer be used, and all that was left were stained porcelain bowls and steel basins.
There are many obvious rats crawling over the mark, and it is only Jin Ju's heart that is not taboo.
Qin Fan's kitchen is half open-air, and a few white transparent glass tiles are placed in the tiles above their heads for lighting.
As the sky grew overcast, the light in the kitchen dimmed.
The three of them squatted in the kitchen, picking up everything that could be used in the cupboard.
Flipping and turning, a fishy smell wafted to everyone's noses.
"Did you smell anything?" Qin Fan frowned.
It smelled too fishy, a bit like the stench of slimy blood mixed with rotten meat.
"It seems that there is a point, it must be somewhere that the rat died. ”
Yao Xin nodded, stood up and sniffed carefully, feeling that the taste was a little stronger.
"Whatever he does, we don't live here anyway, you hurry up and take out these basins for me, but they are all good steel basins, and they haven't rusted for so many years!"
Listening to the two of them, Jin Ju had no intention of interjecting at all, and was full of thoughts about searching for things that could be used.
She used a sack to fill a small half-pocket of bowls and basins, and she turned out the millet that had been left in the house for many years, although people could not eat these things, but they could grind them into fine chaff for the animals to eat.
When she saw that there were no usable things in the kitchen, she instructed Qin Fan to bring them all out and go to see if there were any sickles and hoes on the other side of the chicken shed.
As soon as he stood up, Qin Fan felt that the fishy smell was even stronger.
But thinking that this house has not been inhabited for a long time, it is not unusual to have rats.
I didn't think much about it, and walked into the lobby with my things.
"Ahh
"Bad luck is dead, come here!"
Suddenly, there was a scream from the chicken shed.
Jin Ju was lying on the edge of the wall, and he was trembling with fright, and at this moment he was stroking his chest vigorously, panting again and again.
"Auntie, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing that her legs and stomach were weak and she couldn't stand, Qin Fan and Yao Xin hurriedly helped people to the lobby and sat down.
"The chicken shed...... There's dirt in the chicken shed!"
Jin Ju swallowed saliva and said, it was very difficult to speak, and it seemed that he was taken aback just now.
Most of the things that can scare her are dead things.
Qin Fan asked Yao Xin to watch her here, and walked to the chicken shed with a sickle in his hand.
There was no fire at home, so naturally there was no cooked water to drink, and seeing that Qin Fan had passed, Yao Xin also wanted to follow.
didn't think about it, as soon as she took two steps, she was immediately dragged back by Jin Ju.
"You dead girl, what did you do in the past? Just let him go alone, you are here with the old lady!"
"Mom, he's inconvenient to be alone, I'll take a look, maybe I can help." Yao Xin struggled.
But the strength in his hands is not comparable to Jin Ju, a person who has been doing manual work all year round, and after several struggles, his hand was pinched out of the blue mark, but he still couldn't break free.
"There's something bad in there, you see that your body is not clean, hurry up and sit down honestly for me, don't go anywhere!"
Jin Ju scolded her daughter angrily, pulled it over, and let her sit on the chair.
He was still scolding and scolding in his mouth, saying those inexplicable words, one moment it was Amitabha Buddha, and the other time it was God blessed.
She was facing the door here, and when she folded her hands in prayer, Qin Fan had already arrived in the chicken coop with the sickle in her hand.
The smell here was even stronger, and he thought it was another rat in the chimney, but he didn't expect that this time he would move to a place and change to a chicken shed.
Naturally, there were no chickens in the chicken shed, but there were many piles of hay on the ground, almost as high as chairs.
The place is windproof on all sides, and there are dry patches everywhere, especially those rats who like to drill.
Qin Fan held the sickle, swept away the hay, and immediately smelled a pungent fishy smell and rushed into his nose.
