Chapter 121: Shelter from the Rain
At this time, the wind and rain are combined, and the thunder and lightning are shining.
You really need to find a place to shelter from the rain.
I don't remember if I saw the farmhouse when I came.
But now it was windy and rainy, so Nanchen didn't hesitate much.
followed Qiusheng Wencai and the others, and ran directly to the dilapidated house not far away.
A group of five people covered their heads and quickly ran to the farmhouse.
The farmhouse is located in the middle of the woods, just a dozen meters away from the trail outside.
The farmhouse is plain with a fence outside.
In the yard, a pear tree was also planted.
From the outside, it looks like a very ordinary farmhouse.
As today, the color is gloomy, and the wind and rain are combined.
Only here, borrow a foothold to shelter from the rain.
Qiusheng ran at the front, and at this time he had already come to the door.
Knock on the door of the house.
"Knock knock—"
"Who!"
A man's voice rang out.
"Fellow, it's raining heavily outside. Borrow a place to shelter from the rain......"
Qiusheng spoke again.
The rest of the people also stood at the door of the farmhouse.
The rain came too suddenly, and it just came down.
After a while, everyone got wet.
The man in the room, after hearing Qiusheng say this, heard another voice say:
"You wait......
After saying that, after waiting for a while, the door was opened.
I saw that the person who opened the door was a middle-aged man in his forties.
He has a kind face and is dressed in gray plain clothes.
Grow this shallow beard.
When everyone saw the owner of the house open the door, they hugged their fists one after another to show respect.
Nanchen also spoke:
"Uncle, we just walked down from the church and it suddenly rained, so we wanted to go inside and take shelter from the rain.
When the rain stops, we'll go......"
"Yes, we will take shelter from the rain and be accommodating to our fellow villagers. ”
Master Ren also spoke.
The uncle looked kind and smiled:
"It's okay, it's okay.
Ladies and gentlemen, please come to the house!"
After speaking, he opened the door and invited Nanchen and the others into the house.
As soon as he entered the house, Nanchen smelled a faint musty smell.
It's not heavy, it's just a wisp in the air!
Nanchen didn't care, after all, many farmhouses in this world couldn't be moisture-proof.
It's the rainy season again, and it's a little bit musty, so it's not strange.
Wait for a few people to enter the house.
Then he saw an oil lamp lit in the house.
In front of the oil lamp, a middle-aged woman was also sitting.
A woman is sitting under an oil lamp with a needle and thread in her hand, mending an old garment.
Next to the oil lamp, there was a big, fat black cat.
When the black cat saw everyone enter the house, his green cat eyes widened.
Suddenly, there was a "meow".
The voice was so low that it made people's hearts tremble.
Master Ren and Ren Tingting were both shocked.
Nanchen looked at the big black cat, and couldn't help but take a cool breath.
That body size is really bigger than the average black cat.
After Nanchen apprenticed to Uncle Jiu, Uncle Jiu said to Nanchen, the dog barked, and the cat barked at the corpse.
If there is a dog barking at you for no reason, then you have to beware of ghosts around you.
If the cat barks at you for no reason, then beware of your own fortune.
Because only the dead will become corpses.
The uncle saw that everyone was subdued by his big black cat.
Suddenly said with a smile:
"It's okay, it's the big black that my family fed.
It's just a little bigger than the average cat. ”
With that, go forward:
"There are guests here, don't make trouble here......"
The black cat seemed to be able to understand human speech.
As soon as the uncle's words fell, the black cat jumped off the wooden table, entered the back room and disappeared.
The aunt who sewed clothes also put down the needlework in her hands.
Slowly stood up.
The aunt was bound and stood not straight.
But with a kind eyebrow and a smile:
"Several, please take a seat. ”
Nanchen and the others also nodded politely and said hello.
Then in a small room, I found a bench and sat down in the hall.
The body is wet and uncomfortable.
The uncle behind him also spoke at this time:
"Lady, a few distinguished guests are drenched in the rain. Go boil a bowl of ginger soup to drive away the cold......"
"Uncle no, let's leave when the rain stops, don't be so troublesome. ”
Nanchen spoke to the middle-aged man.
The uncle smiled:
"No trouble, no trouble. And the rain is so heavy, I'm afraid I won't be able to listen to it for a while.
We haven't seen any guests in our house for three or five months.
All the masters, young masters and young ladies can come to our house, it is all full of brilliance. ”
As soon as the uncle's words fell, the aunt also smiled and said:
"Yes, ladies and gentlemen, please wait a moment......"
With that, the aunt turned around and went to boil ginger soup.
Nanchen and the others did not refuse.
Looking at the rain, I'm afraid it won't stop for a while.
Therefore, he smiled and nodded, not speaking.
And the uncle motioned to Nanchen and the others at will.
He himself found a brazier from the corner of the house.
And he took some dry wood at the door and came into the house.
A fire was lit and a fire was set up in the house.
said to warm up the body for everyone, and you can bake clothes casually.
At the same time, the uncle also took a woman's coat and handed it to Ren Tingting.
Ren Tingting is a girl, and it is inconvenient to take off her clothes.
said that this was his daughter's, and she was a maid for a large family in the provincial capital.
Let Ren Tingting put it on first, so as not to catch a cold.
Master Ren and Qiusheng were squatting in front of the brazier at this time to burn the fire, and at the same time drying their coats.
Nanchen sat between Wencai and Ren Tingting.
Ren Tingting tightened her coat and whispered to Nanchen:
"Nanchen, this couple is really kind. ”
Nanchen nodded slightly in agreement.
This couple is indeed very kind.
I just don't know if it's Nanchen's own delusion or something else.
Ever since he entered the house, he had felt that the old couple was weird.
It always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it himself.
He was subconscious, feeling uneasy.
I always feel like it's dangerous.
However, this is just an ordinary farmhouse, a kind couple.
I didn't smell any sinister corpse gas, and there was no danger.
But in my heart, I just feel uneasy, and I have a sense of crisis.
So, he kept looking around, uneasy.
Ren Tingting does not have this sense of crisis.
Seeing that Nanchen didn't speak, he muttered to himself with a wistful expression:
"Brother Nanchen, do you know?
I also want to accompany my beloved and live a life of husband and children......"
After speaking, he still pouted, and looked at Nanchen with a slightly red face,
didn't wait for Nanchen to answer.
Wen Cai, who was sitting on the other side of Nanchen, suddenly spoke:
"yes, yes, that's what I thought, too.
Tingting, how are you looking at me?
I'm sure I'm a good man. ”
After speaking, Wen Cai also teased his bob with his hand.
Apparently I learned it from Qiu Sheng.
But his appearance, plus this wave of bobs......
Not to mention Ren Tingting, Nanchen felt embarrassed when she saw it.
Nanchen turned his head directly, not wanting to pay attention to Wencai.
Wencai is also thick-skinned enough, and he can't see that Ren Tingting has no feelings for her.
mouth, and continued to speak:
"Tingting, why don't you speak? I'm a good ......"
But before the words were finished, the aunt who went to boil ginger soup before.
At this time, he walked back with a tray.
With a smile on his face:
"The ginger soup is ready.
Ladies and gentlemen, please take a sip to warm up!"
