Chapter 306: The Drunkard Has Fallen
Orion's expression froze when he heard this.
After a few seconds, he took the bowl in front of the boy again, refilled the wine and pushed it back in front of him, and looked at me.
He said to me in a light tone, "I like to be quiet." ”
I ate my meal quietly.
Looking up at him, he said that this place is already so remote, how can the village where the mountain people live be lively?
I remember he said that the mountain village was quite far from here, and when he estimated our distance, he said that it might not be possible to walk it in the dark.
Is it because you like to be quiet or because you have some hidden secrets, that's a question!
I turned my head to look at the boy, and the guy was already a little drunk in his eyes.
Seeing that the hunter was about to pour him wine again, I hurriedly stopped: "Uncle, my brother's alcohol consumption is incomparable to yours. ”
"You see he's already going to drink, so don't pour it."
Because of my interference, Orion stopped pouring the wine.
The young man's reaction at the moment was a lot sluggish, and he looked a little overwhelmed.
I blamed that guy in my heart for not boasting about his drinking, and it seems to be average.
If the amount of alcohol is not good, you will politely refuse, this guy also took the initiative to be a wine gourd, I really lost to him!
Orion shifted his target, looked sideways at me, a twinkle in his eyes, and he stared at me and asked, "Where are you from?" ”
He stretched out his chopsticks and put some food in his mouth, but drank very little.
"When we met on the mountain, I heard him say a few words, but I didn't listen carefully at the time."
The hand holding the chopsticks suddenly stiffened. I put down my chopsticks and couldn't help but be stunned.
I really didn't tell him in detail about the location when I met him before, and the boy didn't tell me about it.
Even if there was a conversation before Orion came back, we had a few conversations. But the amount of information exchanged is still too little, and there is not enough to see.
That's where I come to mind. I suddenly felt weak, and I was worried that there would be a problem that I couldn't cope with next.
I have to get through the difficulties in front of me first, how can I answer him?
I thought about it for a while, and said pretentiously: "We are from the national capital. ”
The boy never even told me his name, and I didn't know where he was talking about the south side of Sealand!
I still know the capital of the country, and I've lived there for a while.
The south side of Sealand is a much stranger place to me, and I have no concept at all.
I don't even know the name of the place where he was born.
Orion asked me about the south side of Sealand, and I certainly couldn't answer, just in case he asked. I'll talk about a location that I'm relatively more sure of.
I think the answer is safe enough.
As soon as the words came out, I suddenly remembered the things that I had heard from Tianfang on the ship, and it seemed that something had happened to Haiguo's stronghold in West Lannan, and he had mobilized people to deal with it at that time.
It's not the first time I've heard of this place, and when I see my senior brother in Suzhou City, I still have to ask him for details.
In fact, the teenager and I know each other so little information, so little that if we meet someone with more problems, we will probably soon reveal a flaw.
Fortunately, Orion may have been in the mountains for a long time, and he has very few words.
At the end of a meal, there are more comments on the meal than dialogue.
Orion took a sip of wine. Squinted his eyes and said, "Look at the clothes of the two of you, the family should be good." "The national capital is here, and the mountain road is difficult to walk, why don't you bring a few more people to follow?"
The look at me made my back tighten.
I frowned and listened to him, "My family is so relieved that you are on the road? “
Two questions in a row. I quickly kicked the foot of the guy next to me from under the table, I hoped that he, the temporary "big brother", would come out and help answer a few sentences, so as to relieve me!
It's fine not to touch him. As soon as he touched him, the guy simply fell straight onto the table. The head rests on the elbow, which means that you are drunk?
All right. It seems that I expected him to be really drunk.
What can I do? I looked at him with an embarrassed expression, reached out and pushed his arm and said, "Brother, wake up." “
It was in vain to push it up, and he didn't even give me a reaction.
The eyes of both of them were focused on the young man, and Orion, who was sitting on the side, said, "The amount of alcohol is indeed not good. “
He stood up and said, "I'll go and clean up the house next to me, and you two brothers will sleep there tonight." ”
I was breathing a sigh of relief that the guy's drunkenness could be regarded as helping me out of the siege in disguise, and when I heard the next sentence, I was stunned!
I took a deep breath, calmed down, raised my head and said to Orion, "Thank you, uncle." ”
There were only three rooms in total, except for the one where Orion slept alone, and the only thing left was the kitchen and utility room.
I'm afraid it's very difficult to sleep in the kitchen, and the utility room is arranged for me and the boy, and I say that it is the two brothers, which sounds quite reasonable.
Orion walked to the door of the kitchen, paused, then turned to me and said, "There is a kang under the utility room, and it is not cold at night. "There's a pile of stuff on it, I'll take it away and you can sleep."
I nodded and said, "Uncle bothered!" ”
Seeing Orion walk out of the kitchen, I immediately leaned over to the ear of the person lying on the table: "Hey, wake up, how can you say that you are drunk when you are drunk?" ”
"You refuse to drink too much, why do you drink so much, what should you do now?"
I pushed his arm hard, but the boy was still motionless, and after a few pushes, he turned his head sideways, but he didn't mean to open his eyes.
I sighed, a hint of melancholy in my eyes.
Not only can't you count on him, but you'll even have to ask someone to help you get this guy into the room later.
The difference between men and women is too great, and with his height, he must be very heavy when he is drunk, and I can't pull him.
I looked down and thought for a moment, and I was still thinking about how to ask the Orion to help get the drunken creature into the house.
I snapped my fingers, and I had to ask someone for a quilt, it would be cold at night.
I glanced at the drunken man lying on the table. With this guy's excellent body and good physique, even if he sleeps on the kang for one night without covering the quilt. As long as the bottom kang is hot, it will definitely not catch a cold.
I'll wrap up the quilt and sleep all night. Give him the kang and it's done!
Although there was only one kang in the utility room, when the hunter fell asleep, I quietly found a few stools to fight, and barely had a place to sleep, so I made up my mind and planned it for the time being.
I thought it through, even thinking about what to say in case the Orion found out.
I said that guy, my "temporary" brother, slept too badly when he was drunk. I was afraid of being kicked down by him, so I gave him the kang directly!
Well, the reason sounds good and convincing.
It was quiet inside, and the only sound outside was the mountain wind blowing, mixed with the sound of the utility room being cleaned up.
I knew it was hard work, but luckily the hunters didn't let me help.
Tonight, for the second time, I've been thankful for my luck!
Not long after, footsteps were heard from outside the house. I looked out, my eyes resting in the direction of the door, and I guessed that Orion had put the messy room in order.
Orion pushed open the door and came in. At the same time, a cold wind was brought in.
This weather! I didn't feel it last night in the cave.
There was a fire roasting at the time, and I was so tired that I soon fell asleep!
It's time tonight!
I craned my neck. Putting his hand in his sleeve, he looked up at him and smiled bitterly, "Uncle." My brother was so drunk that he couldn't wake up. Can you help? ”
I glanced at the person on the table and said, "Brother, he is tall and too heavy, and I am short and not strong enough." ”
"Uncle, please!"
Orion approached and looked at the boy, and happily stretched out his arm to lift him up and said to me, "You follow behind, follow me!" ”
As soon as I opened the kitchen door, the cold wind blew outside, and I felt that it was so cold in the mountains at night!
A flash of apprehension crossed my mind that I was going to get a bad night's sleep.
Let's take a look at the kang in Orion's utility room!
Orion put his arm around the boy and glanced back at me.
When he saw me cowering in the cold wind, he couldn't help but say loudly: "It's not a child in the mountains, with thin arms and legs, and I can't help but freeze." ”
As he spoke, his eyes looked at me intently, and once again the smile on his face that made me a little awkward.
Fortunately, it was separated by a small half of the yard, and it was close, so Orion carried the boy to open the door and walked in.
I took a look at the whole house, and he had tidied it up, and there was indeed an earthen kang in the house.
When Orion hadn't returned, I went with the boy to his place and looked at the front and back yards of several houses.
I was so afraid of the decorations on the walls of the room where Orion lived that I didn't look closely at it, but I looked at the utility room and the kitchen very carefully.
The boy and I are the opposite.
He stayed in the house for a long time, and he didn't know what he was looking at.
When I asked him, he didn't make it clear to me in a vague tone.
No wonder we didn't see a clay kang in this house before!
Because there are too many debris piled up on it, it is blocked from being able to see clearly.
At this time, all the clutter in the house can be cleared, and the rest is piled up in the corner of the house.
I took a general look at the area of the room and realized that it would not be a problem to put down a few stools.
When the boy is properly seated on the kang, I will be able to put together a stool and sleep.
After a moment's deliberation, I watched Orion put the boy on the kang.
As soon as his body approached the hot kang, the boy immediately collapsed as if he had no bones.
After a few moments, he rolled over comfortably, and seemed to fall into a deep sleep.
Orion turned to stare at me, staring at my face without speaking.
In order to ease the embarrassment, I turned around and stacked the clutter in the corner of the room a little more neatly, so that I could avoid his gaze.
While working in his hands, he asked him, "Uncle, can you lend us a bed with an extra quilt?" ”
When I didn't hear an answer, I turned my head to look, and saw Orion still standing on the edge of the kang looking at me.
"There's a quilt," Orion said when he saw me turn his head and grin at me, "a bed?" ”
I was stunned for a moment, but I came back to my senses and quickly nodded: "Yes, uncle, just lend us a bed." ”
I didn't think much of it, and I regretted it when I looked back.
I was also worried that the mountain people's bedding might not be superfluous, so I hesitated when I spoke, but according to his tone, there was more than one extra bed.
I now think about speaking again, and I'm embarrassed.
I had no choice but to pat the dust on my hands, nodded and said, "Uncle, I will stay with you tonight, and when you show us the way at dawn, my brother and I will go to Suzhou." ”
I felt the need to wait until dawn to have a good talk with the boy.
Although I promised him to take refuge in the mountain temporarily, for fear of the black-clothed people chasing after him, it doesn't mean that I have to stay in such a remote mountain forever!
Senior brother is still in Suzhou City!
At this time, I'm afraid that all the people he can use under him are looking for me.
I heard that Suzhou City was not big in the first place, and as soon as the senior brother arrived, he couldn't find useful information after searching around, who knows what he will do next?
I said to Orion in a serious tone: "You are willing to take us in for one night, and there are hot dishes to eat, and there are hot kang to sleep at night, my brother and I are very grateful to you." ”
Orion pushed out the door, and after a few moments, he took a quilt that looked quite large, and put it on the kang as he entered.
"The mountain is cold at night, remember that the door is closed." He said a word of advice to me, and turned to leave.
I put my ear to the door, listened to the movement outside, and made sure that Orion had gone back to his own house.
Out of unease, I walked to the only window in the house and looked out.
The courtyard was quiet, and after a while I heard the sound of the door closing, and I was finally completely relieved.
Turning to look at the young man on the kang, he was fine, sleeping so deeply.
If this guy hadn't been drunk, if he was awake, he would definitely not have been able to bear to lie on the kang and sleep without washing.
I decided to take care of this awkward fellow, I gently pushed the door open, intending to go to the kitchen to get some hot water, and after a long day's journey, at least I had to wash my face before going to bed.
Before I could reach the kitchen door, the door to the main room suddenly opened, and Orion looked at me with a pair of sharp eyes.
I was stunned, my scalp tightened, and said: "Uncle, I forgot about jì just now, and I have to wash my face before going to sleep, I boiled hot water before, and my eldest brother also made it very dirty." ”
Orion nodded, and closed the door again.
I said in my heart that if I do this twice, I have to be scared of something if it's okay!
I walked quickly to the kitchen and washed up briefly.
It wasn't until the end of the day that I realized that the thing the boy had used to clean those dishes just now must not be something called a "rag" in the kitchen that was unrecognizable.
Could he have torn his clothes? (To be continued......)
