Chapter 53: Separation
It is a very sad thing to forget that the person next to the pillow is an actor. Especially when the actor is familiar with his character of doing what he says, and after achieving his goal, he is not even willing to act again, which makes people want to cry without tears.
Chu Hao looked at Ruan Bai who was looking at him with dead fish eyes, and was silently lucky in his heart. What is this situation called? Yes, cross the river and tear down the bridge!
Ruan Bai's face was expressionless: "You dare to snatch my quilt again?" ”
Chu Hao grabbed the quilt and didn't let go: "The Shangyuan Festival is over, what about the morning exercise that you said you would do every day?" ”
"I don't want to run today." He wanted to sleep. Spring is coming, and the time of spring is here.
"Huh." Chu Hao learned from Ruan Bai and sneered twice, and flew to the kang to hold the person down. In less than three minutes, there would be a teenager wearing only an undershirt in his hand.
He pinched Ruan Bai's waist and lifted the person high: "Don't think that if my brother is used to you, he won't be able to cure you." ”
Ruan Bai held Chu Hao's arm: "Ah sneeze! ”
Snot Xingzi sprayed Chu Hao's face, Chu Hao didn't care about wiping his face, he wrapped Ruan Bai first, and when he wiped people's faces, he wiped himself by the way: "Forget that you have to break up today?" Looking down at Ruan Bai and pouting, he was suddenly happy, "What, I can't bear it?" ”
In terms of time, their group of people didn't get along for long. But after several lives and deaths in the middle, the friendship is unusual.
"Not really." Ruan Bai really didn't feel anything to be reluctant to. The line of life and death is probably an unforgettable experience for others, but for someone like him, who was born as an agent, it is not very remarkable. Even if his previous job was rarely life-threatening, it was really exciting. He is also not used to getting too close to others. Now there is a comrade-in-arms Chu Hao who is already an unexpected gain, and the others are not cold-blooded, he really doesn't like to live this kind of collective dormitory life.
Separation is not a trivial matter. However, Li Niang is an expert in housekeeping, and after settling down from the grassland, each person's property has been counted separately, and the total time spent together has not been long, and it is very simple to divide the property at this time.
There were a total of twenty people, two died on the road, except for Chu Hao and Ruan Bai, there were sixteen left, ten men and six girls. First there was a man and a donkey, and a large piece of the barn was vacant.
Yun Gu took the donkey in her hand and suddenly said, "Master, I won't say anything else. Donkeys and those things, we have hot hands, but I know you have to give them, so we have the cheekiness to take them. "Anyway, in her heart, her life is Ruan Bai, and she must repay it in the future," my aunt is the stupidest and can't speak. It's just that we, the women of the Taoist family, have nothing when we return to our hometowns now, and we can't settle down when we come to our hometowns, and we can't keep these things when we come to them......"
When a child carries a gold nugget on the street, it will definitely cost the child's life. Of course, Ruan Bai understood this, and he raised his eyebrows: "I understand what you said, today is learning to ride a donkey." We have to go to Leyang Town to hire someone to buy, and we have all our money bags. ”
In fact, when I came back from the grassland, most of the people who rode horses and bulls learned what to do. Now it's just a donkey, and not even a girl in the family is scared, and they follow the rider unskillfully.
"When the family comes back, they must all be poor. We have to build the house first, and it's better to find someone to plant the land......" Ruan Bai rode a little donkey to the front of the line, saying whatever came to mind, humming a few minor tunes from time to time.
Leyang Town is not far from Leyang Station. Although it is difficult to walk on the road now, today I am riding a donkey, I don't need to pull a cart, and the speed is much faster than running. Less than a quarter of an hour after Leyangyi, the high walls of the town were already close in sight.
Leyang Town is a border town, the place is not big, but compared with the five or six shops in Shunyang Pass, people also have a decent commercial street, from inns and restaurants to Buzhuang teahouses. It's just that the craftsman Ruan Bai is looking for is in another alley.
The post station didn't need Cao Da to sit in the town all the time, he simply took over the task of tour guide and entered the town with such a conspicuous group.
Ruan Bai looked at the men, women, and children who were hungry and cold everywhere on the side of the road, and couldn't help asking, "Are these all from other places?" ”
Cao Da nodded: "The area affected by the military disaster this time is very extensive, it is better to have a city wall on this side of the town, and the nearby villages are all ...... If Lord Ruan needs manpower this time, ...... these people"
"Why don't you go on?" Ruan Bai turned around and asked with a smile, "My eldest brother is not here today, you can rest assured." ”
Thinking of a certain big brother, Cao Da had a toothache, and hurriedly said: "No, it's Cao Mou's mouth." In front of it is the alley where the craftsmen live, and the place is relatively chaotic, so Lord Ruan should be careful. ”
"It's fine." Most of the roads in the town are dirt roads, and now it is the time of snow, and the ground is not easy to walk, and the hem of his clothes is already full of mud spots, so dirty that he almost wants to pick it off and throw it away, but now there is no condition.
The status of craftsmen is very low, and life is not easy. However, compared to other places where there are few people, this place is a little more popular.
Ruan Bai likes to plan well in advance, and collect everyone's information before coming. According to the order of construction of the house, the complexity of the process, etc., it has been agreed in advance, and it is not troublesome to negotiate.
Several craftsmen who can build houses are all very surprised to have such a big business. Although the suburbs are now barren and people don't have houses to live in, in the past, when the years were good, most rural people built houses by their own villagers, and they would not be invited at all. Now there are more than a dozen houses at once, although they won't push their business out......
"My lord, I wonder what kind of house you want to build?" The foreman decided that they would take the adobe house, even if it was just for a few full meals, and that there would be enough house for them to survive for a long time.
A lot of money was brought back from the Huns, and it was distributed among everyone, and according to the current prices, it would not be a problem for each to build a courtyard house. But the wealth is not exposed, and Yungu and they are also used to living a life of careful calculation, and the requirements are very simple: "The adobe house is good, but we have to put it on the kang in our house." ”
They know the matter of Pankang best, but they know it best, and they have made a small amount of money from Pankang this winter, otherwise they all suspect that they can't survive this time, so they raised their chin slightly: "You really found the right person for this pankang work." I don't know anywhere else, just let's ...... Leyang"
"Poof." Yun Gu is directly Yile, "This fire kang is still made by our master......"
The foreman suddenly screamed.
"Ahem." Ruan Bai coughed lightly and pulled the foreman's attention back, "How long will it take for you to finish building these houses?" ”
"If you have a brother, you can finish it in ten days." The materials of the adobe house are simple, and now there are people everywhere outside, and there are one or two masters on the scene to watch it, and it doesn't cost anything.
"Ten days?!" So fast?
"If you rush it, it will be fine for seven days." The foreman thought that Ruan Bai was disgusted with the long time, so he took the initiative to reduce it. Normally they didn't build any adobe houses.
"No, ten days is ten days, don't rush." Ruan Bai waved his hand and said sternly, "I have a few requests. ”
"Your Excellency, you command."
"First, the house must be safe; Second, the house must not have any quality problems, such as water leakage. ”
"You can rest assured of this. Half of the houses in the town are built by villains, so you can inquire about the quality or something. The foreman was full of confidence, "But the house is old, there will be some problems, and this villain doesn't dare to pat his chest to guarantee." ”
"Well, I understand." Ruan Bai is not an unreasonable person, and then said the main thing, "After you finish building those houses, you have to build me a post station." ”
Ruan Bai's tone was very flat, and the foreman didn't feel anything at first, so he nodded subconsciously, and said in response: "Okay, build a post station...... Post?! ”
"Well, the station." Ruan Bai beckoned the foreman who jumped up to take two steps forward, "Don't worry, I have the drawings and everything, and the salary will be calculated." ”
After some negotiations, it was quite smooth. It is not the same to have a local snake to lead the way, Ruan Bai and his party were not only not treated as fat sheep, but also got a sincere reserve price.
Ruan Bai paid a part of the deposit, even if it was an adobe house, there were also some materials and tools to be prepared, not to mention the post station, and he had to contact the brick kiln and so on; In addition to some of Ruan Bai's whimsical ideas, the experienced foreman didn't dare to pat his chest to guarantee that he could do it, so he could only say that he would show it to other craftsmen.
Coming out of the craftsman's alley, Ruan Bai asked Yun Gu beside him: "Auntie doesn't buy a house in the town like Li Niang and them?" ”
"My aunt will farm all her life, and she won't live in the town." Yun Gu shook her head. She has her own calculations in her heart. Her family didn't know how many were left, or which ones were left. Her husband's family used to be in good condition, living in a brick house, if people can get lucky, they can always earn money and live a good life. If everyone is unfortunate to go, an adobe house will not cost much, and she is a woman's family, so it is a big deal to be cheeky and continue to beg to be a servant under the master, or to live in the town with Liniang, and also have a care.
Li Niang's house was originally in the town, but it was not Leyang Town, but another town that has now been destroyed. Together with a few other girls, she planned to simply buy a house in the town, first, to be safe, and second, to get news quickly. If someone from the family came, it would be quicker to get the news in the town than in the village. They also plan to start some small businesses, so the requirements for the house are a bit high.
However, it is not difficult to find a house in Leyang Town now. When Ruan Bai looked for it, Li Niang had already found the house she liked, and when she saw Ruan Bailai, she said happily: "Master, look, this is it." The front two floors can be used as a shop, and the back wall separates them......"
"Huh? Isn't this the eldest girl of the Liu family? Didn't you hear that they were taken as slaves by the Huns? It turns out that you found a lover for yourself? ”
Nguyen, Lover, Bai: Looking for death?
