Chapter 83 Approach
While eating, Dong Linzhi said to the old man: "Old man, we have some things to do, I want to stay at your house for two days, do you think it is convenient?" ā
"The little boy is too polite, there are only two people at home, Hu'er and me, the room is empty and empty, if you want to live, you can live casually!"
"That's great, thank you!"
Dong Linzhi glanced at the fence, and the fence took out a silver ingot from his purse. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Dong Linzhi put the silver in front of the old man.
"I can't do it! I can't help it! When the old man saw that Dong Linzhi was going to give him money, he was so frightened that he waved his hand again and again, "It's just two days, how can I collect your money!" ā
"Old man, you can take it, we can't eat and live for nothing!"
Dong Linzhi insisted on his subordinates, but the old man just insisted on not accepting it.
The two of them pushed and pulled for a long time, and the fence saw that it was not a way to go on like this, so they leaned into Dong Linzhi's ear and whispered: "We can put the silver in the house when we leave." ā
Dong Linzhi suddenly realized, put away the silver and said to the old man: "Then we will bother!" ā
The small village where Hu'er's family is located is at the foot of Jingshan, and there are about a dozen or so families, all of which are ordinary farmers, and Hu'er's family happens to be at the entrance of the village.
It was evening, and there was still a glimmer of afterglow on the horizon.
Dong Linzhi squatted at the gate of the courtyard, looking in the direction of Jingshan, thinking about any way to enter the Li family's courtyard.
Yesterday, he walked around the mountain with Fence Shu for a long time, and he didn't even see the shadow of the other courtyard. He didn't believe they were really lost, just kidding, he had followed his cousin to hunt since he was a child, what deep mountains and old forests had not been drilled? And even if they get lost, they can always climb up to the top of the mountain in one direction, so why don't they keep going around in circles?
His instincts told him there was something wrong with this......
While he was meditating, five or six men walked in from the entrance of the village and passed by Hu'er's house.
One of them said: "The big guy has worked hard today, the old farmer said, as long as we work hard, the salary is not a problem!" So tomorrow morning, let's gather at the entrance of the village and go to the sunflower garden together! ā
"Okay, that's it!"
"Okay, no problem!"
"See you tomorrow morning!"
Everyone gossiped and went home.
The voice of their speech was not small, and Dong Linzhi heard it clearly.
Kwai Garden?
His heart moved, isn't the Li family's other courtyard called Kwai Garden?
"Sparse! Fence thinning! He shouted.
Liang Shu was beating stones in the courtyard with Hu'er, and when he heard Dong Linzhi calling him, he hurriedly ran over.
"Master, you called me?"
"Is the Li family's courtyard called Kwai Garden?"
"Kwai Garden?" After a moment's thought, "It seems to be called this name." What does this do, you ask? ā
Dong Linzhi showed a bright smile, and his eyes seemed to fall into the starlight, "I have figured out a way to go to Kwai Garden!" ā
As soon as the sky was gray, Dong Linzhi got up.
Liang Shu looked at the shabby linen clothes on his body, and his white and chubby little face wrinkled into buns, "Master, do you really want to go alone?" Let me follow you! ā
Dong Linzhi glanced at him, "Who do you see working and taking a small servant?" ā
"Then I'll change my outfit too, and I just want to do it with you!"
"No, it's too eye-catching for two people to go, what if they are recognized by the Li family's guards? You're just here and waiting for me to come back! ā
What else did the fence have to say, Dong Linzhi had already said: "I have already decided, you don't need to say it anymore." Quick, bring me the ash from the bottom of the pot! ā
The fence had no choice but to give up, picked up the ashes from the bottom of the pot on the table, and carefully wiped it on Dong Linzhi's face, neck and hands.
After a while, Dong Linzhi became a slightly dark-skinned peasant boy who was very energetic.
"Brother Yu, are you okay?" There was a shout outside.
Dong Linzhi hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, come out immediately!" ā
He patted the fence on the shoulder, "When I come back, you are not allowed to follow!" Then he ran away with a puff of smoke.
There was a man in his forties standing at the gate of the courtyard, with dark skin and a sturdy body, it was the man who spoke at Hu'er's door yesterday, named Chen Dahe, and his home was next to Hu'er's house.
Dong Linzhi said to him: "Brother Chen, I've kept you waiting!" ā
"It's okay, I just came out too! Let's go! The man smiled generously.
The two of them walked to the entrance of the village, where several people were already waiting.
Everyone was very surprised to see Dong Linzhi and asked Chen Dahe: "Dahe, who is this little brother?" ā
Chen Dahedao: "This little brother's name is Yu Dong, who originally took his little brother to the capital to join his relatives, and passed by our village just after running out of entanglement, so he stayed at Hu'er's house." He heard that we were going to work in the Kwai Garden, so he wanted to go with him and earn some money to make money. Everyone is to support the family, so I will take him with me, and when the time comes, I will say that he is my distant relative, and the big guy has no opinion, right? ā
"No problem!"
"Nope!"
Chen Dahe obviously had a lot of prestige among this group of people, and as soon as he opened his mouth, everyone else agreed.
Dong Linzhi hugged his fists at them, "Please take care of your big brothers!" ā
The group walked towards Mirror Mountain.
Now the sky is not very bright, and there are trees in the mountains, and the visibility is very low, so everyone walks very slowly.
Halfway up the mountain, an old man with a white beard stood at the fork in the road with a lantern.
Chen Dahe whispered to Dong Linzhi: "This is the old Zhuang head, he came to pick us up the mountain." ā
Everyone greeted the old Zhuang Tou one after another, and the old Zhuang Tou responded one by one with a smile.
He noticed Dong Linzhi and wondered, "Is this brother new?" I didn't seem to have seen it in the first two days. ā
Chen Dahe hurriedly explained: "This is a distant relative of mine, who just came yesterday, and I brought him to help!" ā
The people who worked were all in charge of Chen Dahe, and the old village head still trusted him very much, so he didn't ask any more questions when he heard this, and took them to the mountain.
With the head of the old village leading the way, the group arrived at Kwai Garden very smoothly.
On the way, Dong Linzhi tried to write down the route, but the old Zhuang Tou took them around and around, and the surrounding mountains and forests were exactly the same, and finally he was directly dizzy, and when he arrived at the gate of Kwai Yuan, he found that he still didn't figure out how to go.
The old man led them around the gate to a corner gate on the west side.
After entering the gate, I walked along the verandah fenced by a tent and came to a courtyard with the words "Tongyatang" written on the door.
After the old Zhuang took them to Tongyatang, they left, and Chen Dahe took everyone to start working, and their task was to renovate several rooms in Tongyatang.
Since Dong Linzhi said that he was here to work, he naturally had to do it together.
He pondered as he worked, how to find Li Guan.
The Li family's courtyard feels quite big, and when I came in, I couldn't see the surrounding environment, what if I went to the wrong place and was caught by the Li family's guards?
He is now moving bricks with Chen Dahe, Chen Dahe is standing on the roof, he is standing on the ladder, and the people below hand him the bricks, and he hands them to Chen Dahe.
He was thinking about things, but he didn't concentrate on his work, and the brick was handed over, but before Chen Dahe could catch it, he let it go, and the brick fell directly from it.
"Be careful!" Chen Dahe exclaimed.
Dong Linzhi's conditioned reflex leaned back.
The bricks dodged, and others fell off the ladder.
