Chapter 18 The Cabin in the Mountains
Sometimes the second master will bring Chu Yun'er all kinds of wild fruits, since he woke up one morning and saw the black package and golden long sword that suddenly appeared beside him, Chu Yun'er smiled from ear to ear, and quickly gave him a big thumbs up in his heart, which also made the second master's good feeling in Chu Yun'er's mind rise like a surging river.
Rushing during the day, and at night the second master sucked the aura, Chu Yun'er took a nap at his feet with the red jade, and he didn't know how many days he had been wandering around the mountain, and when it was close to dusk, Chu Yun'er finally saw a few thatched roofs at the foot of the mountain on the mountainside.
"Hongyu, we finally found it, haha......" As if seeing the light of day again, Chu Yun'er was so excited that she almost burst into tears. After a few days of running, Chu Yun'er has lost a lot of weight, and her face, which was originally only the size of a palm, looks even smaller, and her pale face is stained with dirt because she hasn't washed it for a few days, only the big black eyes are still bright, her hair is messy, and her red coat is also blue and gray, and the black backpack can't tell whether it is black or gray, and the second master's golden long sword was tightly wrapped in black cloth and used as a crutch, which is simply a tyrannical thing.
Hongyu originally didn't matter, the mountains and forests were originally its home, but she saw Chu Yun'er so excited and excited, it was also a little excited, she had stayed in the mountains for more than a hundred years, she had never been anywhere else, she was full of curiosity about the world of humans and humans, and he looked at it too closely, saying that human beings were insidious and cunning, and the world was sinister, and he never let it leave the fox tribe's residence, this time it finally escaped smoothly, and was not caught by Grandpa Fox as before, excited and a little complacent, Sister Yun'er promised to make food for it.
Chu Yun'er patted the dust on her body, tidied up her clothes a little, and ran to the house below the mountain. Almost to the foot of the mountain is a bamboo forest, a path in the bamboo forest, out of the bamboo forest path on both sides of the vegetable field, one of the fields do not know what to plant, the soil uplifted and cracked several pieces, there are some withered yellow vines on the ground, the other field is planted with several unknown plants, with strange flowers, the rows are very neat, at a glance it is carefully taken care of. The other plots of land seem to have been left untouched for a long time, the land is somewhat dry, and the vegetable seedlings have long since withered.
At the end of the trail leads to a closed bamboo courtyard gate, surrounded by a semicircle of mud and tree branches, surrounded by wooden houses with their backs to the mountains and their roofs covered with thick thatch and planks.
"Hello, is there anyone" Chu Yun'er stood in front of the courtyard gate and shouted loudly into the courtyard.
"Is there anyone" There was no echo in the courtyard, so he shouted again, but there was still no echo.
After waiting for a while and seeing that there was still no response, Chu Yun'er wanted to look at the scene in the yard on the bamboo door, but she didn't expect the bamboo door to open as soon as she pushed it, and the yard was empty, only a bamboo frame was set up on the side, which seemed to be used to dry things.
Under the eaves is a corridor more than a meter wide, with a wooden floor, a layer of dust, as if it has not been cleaned for a long time, there are hoes and other farm tools at the end of the corridor, a few strings of dried garlic hanging from the wall, a tightly sealed gray wooden door in the middle of the house is stuck in the knocker with a wrist-thick wooden stick, and a few clumps of spider silk are scattered on the door frame.
"No, the owner is not at home", the dust in the corridor and the spider silk on the door frame all told Chu Yun'er that the house might have been abandoned for a long time, or that the owner of the house had been away for a while.
Breaking into someone else's house without the permission of the owner has already violated the law in the 21st century, and Chu Yun'er, who was at a loss, didn't know what to do, and wanted to cry when she was disheartened.
Since she was a child, she has never been so wolf as during this time, she has suffered so much, the things in her backpack have long been eaten, and in the past few days, she has been relying on the wild fruits picked by the second master to satisfy her hunger, and she now wants to have a good meal and take a hot bath.
Holding back the tears in her eyes and sitting down on the porch steps at the door, she waited, waited until it was dark, if the owner of this house hadn't come back, she would not be invited, and wait for the master to return and then compensate, anyway, she had silver in her bag, and the second master was hers, and she would pay it back after earning it.
As the sun set, the birds returned to their nests, and the last trace of red light on the horizon disappeared between the peaks, Chu Yun'er kept her eyes on the path outside the courtyard, hoping to see someone coming.
Until the moon hung high, the sky and the earth were hazy, and finally waited for a person, but unfortunately it was not the owner of the house, it was the second master who found it from some corner, his tall body jumped over like a wooden stake, his hands hung straight down to his side, his legs were straight without a trace of bending, Chu Yun'er was really curious about how his stiff legs could use force to get his body off the ground.
He stood in front of Chu Yun'er, lowered his head slightly, looked at Chu Yun'er with his eyes like night pearls, and handed two huge yellow-skinned oranges in his hands to her, "Second Master" leaned his head on the second master's leg listlessly, and there were grievances and fatigue in his voice.
Chu Yun'er sat at the door and finished eating the oranges brought back by the second master with Hongyu, it was the middle of the night, and she still didn't wait to return to the owner of the house, and after hesitating, she still took off the wooden stick on the door knocker.
When she opened the door, she was greeted by a musty smell that had been sealed for a long time, the house was black and hollow, she pushed the second master to the front, used the second master as a lamp, and looked at every corner of the room, a total of five rooms on the left and right, all the same color wooden floor, a living room in the middle, there was a small square table, there was a set of black pottery tea sets on the table, several small square stools, two rooms on the left and right, one bedroom each, the room was clean and tidy, there were a few pairs of words hanging on the wall, it can be seen that the owner is also a more particular person, and the other two rooms are placed with some sundries.
Chu Yun'er plugged the door from the inside, and chose one of the bedrooms that looked like a guest room to live in, which was originally uninvited, let alone occupy the master's room, she opened all the windows of the room, and could directly see the courtyard door from the window, one was to alert the owner of the house to come back, and the other was to disperse the musty smell of the room.
The moon shines obliquely on the floor of the room through the window, and the window lattices reflect the bright little squares on the ground, making the room hazy and not out of sight.
It was dark and it was inconvenient to move, Chu Yun'er didn't care about the sloppiness all over her body, patted the dust on her body a little and lay on the bed with the red jade and her clothes, dark blue sheets and bed covers, because she didn't see the sun a little damp.
Finally ended the days of sleeping in the open, the tired Chu Yun'er fell asleep as soon as she got into bed, the second master stood in front of the window and sucked the aura, and occasionally looked back at Chu Yun'er who was sleeping on the bed, her blue eyes were like pearls in the deep sea, emitting a faint blue light.
Chu Yun'er didn't wake up until the next evening, she had enough rest, she was in good spirits, the second master stood quietly in the innermost corner of the room, but Hongyu was not on the bed, "Hongyu, Hongyu" Chu Yun'er called softly twice, but didn't get a response, Chu Yun'er thought that it must have gone to the mountains to find food.
