Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Mountain Hut
There is truth to the saying that the mountain runs away from a dead horse. By the time they searched the direction of the smoke and found their destination, it was already nightfall. The dark mountain road was not easy to walk, but she didn't take the peony lantern out to illuminate it again. Fortunately, they didn't ask about the lantern, otherwise what kind of expression would she have to use to say that bitter thing!
Several wooden houses are located in the valley and are surrounded by a high wooden fence. Through the light from the window of the wooden house, you can see that there are many flowers planted on both sides of the yard. A few people stood at the entrance of the fence and didn't think of what words to use to get in, but a few little wolves who had been waiting with Gongzi Xia pounced on the fence gate. He stretched out his front paws and scratched at the door, and his mouth made a 'woo' sound.
There was a 'squeak' and the door of the hut opened, and the sound was heard far away in the silence of the night. An old woman with gray hair walked out. This should be Wu Lao's junior sister Yan Yan, or the sage Wu Yuan, a career guide.
"Who is it?" The old woman stood in the doorway and asked, her surprised voice was not old.
Baili Zhuge raised his voice and said, "Old man." β
"Mother-in-law, we are passers-by. It's getting late, so why don't you spend the night here? We'll keep it quiet and won't make a noise to you! She hurriedly interrupted Baili Zhuge and said.
I heard that Wu Yuan's temper is also very difficult, if she knows that we came to her in the middle of the night to take over the task or something, then the end will definitely be the same as Gongzi Xia Hou. She also wanted to see if she could directly access the job task here without going through Wu Lao. You can't let them mess with it.
Wu Yuan was silent for a while and said, "There is no extra room, only a utility room." If I don't dislike you, I'll settle down on my own. β
Just let them stay, and instantly Yan listened to the blessing and said, "Thank you, mother-in-law." β
"It's cold at night in the mountains, come with me to get the futon, this is still there." Wu Yu said in a flat voice, and then walked into the house.
The "mother-in-law" is just gone? Open the gate! They're still outside the yard!
"That door can't stop anyone, it's just people's hearts." After Wu Yu said this, she went straight back to the house.
This sentence sounds so lofty, but what does it mean? No longer dwelling on this, she watched her son Xia Hou step forward and push open the fence, and the group walked through the courtyard to the house.
Although no one refuted what she said just now, she still opened her mouth to explain the reason. also told them not to mention tasks or anything in front of the witch, and all the communication with the witch was handed over to her. It's great that all six of them have no objections.
Wu Yuan gave a total of four quilts and a candle.
The utility room was quite large, and there were a lot of large and small wooden boxes in it. The room was very clean and could be described as spotless. She had one of the four quilts, and the other three were assigned to them. Since it was a utility room, of course there was no bed, and she couldn't sleep at all when she spread the quilt on the floor and half padded and half wrapped, although she was very tired now.
Since she was reborn, except for the time when she stayed in the mountains, she has always lived in her stepmother's house, and that condition goes without saying. I got used to the high bed and soft pillows, and I couldn't sleep when I changed places. But the main reason is that Gongzi Xia Hou and others, although they are already very familiar with them now, but she really can't feel at ease when they lay the floor together like this.
Although the room was quite large, as soon as the seven big living people lay on the ground, it was very crowded. To her right are several large wooden boxes stacked together, and on her left is Childe Xia Hou. She could clearly hear the breath of the person lying next door, and the breath seemed to be in her ears, hot.
Those few little things were lying next to Gongzi Xia Hou obediently, and a few pairs of eyes were green and faint in the dark. Turning to face the large wooden box, where she lay motionless. My mind was chaotic, as if I was thinking a lot, but I didn't think about anything. Slowly, I even fell asleep.
When I woke up, I felt that my whole body was sore, as if I had run dozens of miles. He sat up and rubbed his sore shoulders vigorously. When I looked up, I found that the six people had already woken up, but the room was quiet, and they even folded the quilts and put them together. Only now did she wake up.
In an instant, Yan was really ashamed and angry, why did she always make a fool of herself in front of these people! The face is all gone! Quickly got up, folded the quilt, picked up all the quilts and walked out of the room quickly. Pushing open the door and walking into the courtyard, there was a figure standing among the flowers. It was Wu Yuan, who had a small bucket at her feet, and was watering the flowers with a scoop in her hand.
"Good morning, mother-in-law." She smiled and greeted the witch.
Wu Yuan turned her face sideways when she heard the voice and said, "Just put it over there!" It's dawn, and it's time for you to go. In an instant, Yan nodded in response, and after putting the things down, he ran over again. How could it be that he just left, and the matter was not done!
"Mother-in-law, I have something to say to you."
"Oh? What can you and I say. Wu Yuan said as she continued to water the flowers.
"Your deceased asked me to ask you how you're doing." She said cautiously.
Wu Yuan listened to her words, stopped watering, and only after a while did she ask, "Which old man is it?" β
"The old man's surname is Wu." As she spoke, she observed Wu Yuan's face, afraid that she would suddenly turn her face.
Wu Yuan didn't get angry or turn her face when she heard this, but just stuffed the long-handled water scoop in her hand and said, "I left you for one night, and I should help do something, and you should water these flowers." Remember that every tree must be watered and watered thoroughly, but if the flowers are drowned, you will pay me ten times the price. These flowers are rare, do you hear? β
"Ding, congratulations to the player for triggering the mission: watering the flowers. Accept or Reject? β
Hearing the prompt sound, Yan nodded hurriedly, and the fool didn't accept it! Wu Yuan looked at it before she hummed with satisfaction, turned around and went back to the house.
Should I say that these two people really deserve to be brothers and sisters? They are especially fond of supporting people. Resigned to his fate, he began to water these flowers, and there were many flowers in the yard. White, red, yellow, green, pink, purple, blue, large, small, and variety.
Water each flower enough and don't dare to water too much. She carefully controlled the amount of water, and suddenly heard Wu Yuan's angry voice, which seemed to come from the direction of the utility room! In an instant, Yan hurriedly straightened his waist and pricked up his ears to try to listen to the sound of speech coming from the utility room.
"It's already in the middle of the day, and you are still sitting here leisurely, and the young people are really getting more and more lazy and unsightly."
"If you are idle, go to the valley to clear out those demon moths who are making trouble, and the old woman will not raise idlers."
After a while, Gongzi Xia Hou and a few people appeared in the yard with a gray face, and she hurriedly bent down and pretended to water diligently. She didn't dare to laugh until they walked past her and out of the yard.
"Hahehehehe"
It's really rare to see Childe Xia Hou deflated.
