Chapter 155: Old Man
The stream is surrounded by mountains and forests, and it is sparsely populated. Fu Qingqian didn't move far at all, and he picked up a lot of dry firewood.
However, she was surprised to see the senior brother's skillful action of cleaning up the fish. "I can't see it, senior brother, you're still so skilled!"
Originally, she thought that the senior brother was not good at cooking, and his movements should be very rusty. Now, it seems, that's not the case at all.
Hearing the words of the little junior sister, Wen Zichu just washed his hands indifferently. The fishy smell stained on the hands, which made people particularly unhappy.
"Just because I'm not good at cooking doesn't mean I can't do these basics."
He and his master used to go out of the house, so naturally they spent a lot of time in the wilderness. And sometimes, it's a long time. Naturally, it is impossible to eat your own dry food all the time.
Therefore, he still has this skill.
With Fu Qingqian, the taste of grilled fish will naturally not be bad. Luckily, the fish she caught was big enough, otherwise she would not have enough to eat.
After lunch, Fu Qingqian finally felt that he had recovered. She couldn't really use it to go, so even if she resisted it in her heart. There was no other way but to obediently get in the car.
Wen Zichu saw her expression of going to the execution ground with righteousness, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. "Anyway, it's still early, so it shouldn't be so bumpy if I hurry up."
Hearing the words of the senior brother, Fu Qingqian could only hope like this. On the way back, I saw a large field of hay. Immediately remembered something, and pointed at them excitedly.
"Wouldn't it be better if I put them down?" Although he asked like this, Fu Qingqian didn't wait for the senior brother to answer before he started to do it.
There is still a long way to go, and she can't even get out of the car when she doesn't want to. So when she asked just now, she made a decision directly in her heart.
Wen Zichu saw that she was in a hurry, so he had to help. In just a few moments, the two of them had already brought back a cart full of hay.
Thinking that it might be almost, Fu Qingqian reluctantly stopped. Straighten out the hay a little and put it on the bottom, then put the previous batting and mat on top.
Little Hela's bullock cart was bought by the owner of the car dealership again. Unlike ox carts, which have only one plank, they are shaped more like horse-drawn carriages.
However, other people's carriages are completely enclosed, and hers is only enclosed on the left and right. As well, there is a roof that shades the rain and the sun. In the back, a half-height fence has been added.
Because of the thick hay, Fu Qingqian sat in and felt much taller than usual. However, it is much softer to sit on. There is a feeling of being trapped in a marshmallow. Fu Qingqian, who was originally very worried, was a little relieved.
However, as for the final effect, this remains to be seen.
"How does it feel?" Wen Zichu drove the ox cart for a while, stopping to ask how she felt.
"It's not bad now, I don't know what to do later." Hearing Senior Brother's words, Fu Qingqian said with some excitement.
Anyway, it's nice to be able to make her feel like it's not bumpy now. Anyway, she now has a deep resistance to the ox cart, and it feels a great joy to be able to avoid a bumpy road.
Because Wen Zichu deliberately slowed down the speed of the car, Fu Qingqian put on a thick layer of hay. The next part of the road finally didn't make Fu Qingqian feel too sad.
However, because the ox cart was too slow, it was expected to arrive in the afternoon but it was delayed until the evening. Fortunately, it was just in time, just in front of the city gate.
"It turns out that you have to pay money to enter the city! No wonder so many people want to be a governor or something. Fu Qingqian saw in the ox cart that the senior brother gave the guard ten cents, and as soon as he entered the city, he couldn't help but express his inner thoughts.
If you add another ten cents when you go out of the city, you will be charged ten cents for one person entering the city. With so many people coming and going every day, it's a lot of income to think about!
The biggest official in a state is the governor. This money was also collected by Zhizhou. Fu Qingqian thinks that it is good for the second brother to be a Zhizhou or something in the future.
Wen Zichu heard her envious words, and helplessly hooked the corners of his mouth. "Not all this money went into Zhizhou's pocket, so he shouldn't be the emperor. In this case, all the money went into his pocket? ”
"How dare you think about it!" Hearing the words of the senior brother, Fu Qingqian felt that even ten white eyes could not express his inner contempt for him.
I can't see that Senior Brother still has such thoughts. Her thoughts were still only on Zhizhou, and the senior brother directly looked at the highest position.
Wen Zichu didn't say anything more, anyway, he just said it casually. There is really nothing to be gained in today's sainthood. If you have to find out what is desirable about him for a day or two, it is probably that he gave birth to so many sons.
In this world, it's better to leave it to his sons to worry about!
Wen Zichu was not quite familiar with Xizhou City, so he took the little junior sister to an alley.
"Senior brother, you don't want to kidnap me, do you? This place, no matter how you look at it, you don't think there will be an inn? ”
It was already a little dark, and there was no light in the alley where the senior brother walked. Fortunately, it was summer, and the moon was round and large. Let the originally quiet alleys be less terrible and more quiet.
Because the alley was relatively narrow, Wen Zichu was busy catching the car and didn't answer her words at all, and after a while, he came out of the alley and stopped in front of a vermilion door.
"Yes! Knowing that I was going to kidnap you, shouldn't you have run earlier? Thinking of her previous words, Wen Zichu became angry.
He was worried that many inns in Xizhou City might not be willing to take care of the ox carts, and after thinking for a long time, he finally remembered that the master seemed to have a courtyard in Xizhou City.
It's just that it's been a long time, and some can't remember the way. It was dark and dark, and it was hard to find it when I turned left and right. Now, she was embarrassed to say that she was going to be sold.
Seeing the senior brother's straight face, Fu Qingqian had a flattering smile on his face. I still need the help of the senior brother these days, how can I offend the senior brother!
"I'm joking, I'm joking!"
Seeing her dog-legged appearance, Wen Zichu shook his head helplessly. turned around and knocked on the door, but he didn't know if the person in charge of the caretaker, Uncle Yang, was still there.
"Who!" Hearing the knock on the door, Yang Zheng thought at first that he was too old to hear it wrong.
Later, I found out that there was really a knock on the door, but I was very confused. At this time, who will knock on the door.
It's not that the yard is remote, but it's just a secluded alley outside the yard. and the downtown area, across the road. There are very few people coming and going, and it's a bit like a dead end.
Moreover, the owner of the courtyard had not been here for several years, and he lived here as a caretaker, but there were few people who came and went.
It is often a yard where no one comes for a year, and at this time, he suddenly heard a knock on the door, and Yang Zheng naturally did not dare to take it lightly.
Hearing the sound of questions inside, I was sure that there were still people in Wen Zichu, and I was relieved.
"Uncle Yang, it's me, Zichu."
When Yang Zheng heard the answer, his original worries immediately disappeared. Because of the old wrinkled face, he also showed a rare smile.
The pace of opening the door has never been faster. Open the door and look at the slightly familiar face in front of you. Yang Zheng finally cried with joy, holding Wen Zichu's hand and crying bitterly.
"It's back, I thought. None of you will come back until I die. ”
"By the way, your master!"
Yang Zheng said with emotion while holding his hand and crying.
When Wen Zichu heard Uncle Yang's words, he changed his cold face before. Instead, with a reassuring smile on his face, he explained. "Whatever you say, it's your body. It's no problem to live to ninety-nine, and besides, I'm not back now! ”
"Master, he is still at the little sister's house, and he didn't come over this time. This is the master's newly accepted little sister, Fu Qingqian. ”
Wen Zichu freed his hand and pulled the person behind him a few steps forward.
"Little junior sister, this is Uncle Yang."
Fu Qingqian was still standing behind the senior brother and watching, but was suddenly pulled to the front by the senior brother. He was stunned for a few seconds, and quickly smiled. Say hello obediently, "Hello Uncle Yang." ”
"It's a little girl!" Yang Zheng saw the little girl in front of him, who was only about ten years old, and looked at her kindly.
I was puzzled in my heart, Doctor Bai actually accepted such a young girl.
Hearing Uncle Yang's words, Fu Qingqian did not answer. Just standing next to the senior brother, he looked well-behaved.
"The little junior sister is now the master's treasure, and even I can't compare." Wen Zichu said half-jokingly, but let Uncle Yang know that his little junior sister was not simple.
Yang Zheng let the two of them go in first, and he drove the ox cart in through the other door.
Fu Qingqian followed behind the senior brother and asked him suspiciously. "This is in the master's name?"
"It's what you want to see from Lord Zhizhou." Wen Zichu heard the words of the little junior sister and said bluntly.
"Then it seems that the relationship between the master and that Zhizhou should be good?" Since he can send a yard to the master, in this case, the Zhizhou must have received the favor of the master. "But why send it here in the middle of nowhere?"
"It should be pretty good! The master had saved his life a few years earlier. Wen Zichu nodded, the grace of saving his life should be regarded as a great grace.
Hearing the slightly disdainful words behind the little junior sister, Wen Zichu said helplessly. "The master was reluctant to accept it, but in the end everyone took a step back. Zhizhou sent an inconspicuous yard, and the master accepted it. ”
Although Wen Zichu hadn't been here for several years, he could see that Uncle Yang had taken good care of it.
At least the room or something, no dust can be seen. And when he passed by the front yard before, he seemed to see a lot of vegetables by the moonlight.
At that time, when Zhizhou gave this courtyard to the master as a part of the thank-you gift, the master originally did not plan to accept it. After all, they are erratic all year round, and who knows if it is possible to come here yet.
Of course, no one can guess what will happen next. No one thought that the master would accept the little sister as an apprentice. Moreover, he and his master will stay in Xizhou for so long.
The main reason for accepting this yard is because he knows that Uncle Yang has no place to live.
Uncle Yang was also rescued by the master, and he was kicked out by his son because of a strange illness. I met my master, a man who likes to study strange diseases, and cured him.
When they left, they weren't sure if they would come back. So he deliberately left a large amount of money for Uncle Yang, so that he didn't have to worry about the future.
Yang Zheng drove the ox cart in through the back door and prepared to prepare dinner for them.
On weekdays, he lives here alone, and he has an early dinner every day. Luckily, he grows a lot of vegetables in the yard and meat in the kitchen.
Otherwise, you can buy it at this point in time.
When the white god doctor left, he gave himself a lot of money. Naturally, I understand what that means. He also knew that their whereabouts were uncertain, and he was relieved that he would still see people before he died.
But he is a lonely old man, where is there anything to use money. This time, Zichu came over, and he could just return the money to him. If possible, he also wanted to see the White Divine Doctor again.
Wen Zichu originally planned for him to prepare dinner, but was kicked out of the kitchen by Uncle Yang. His cooking skills are no longer intended to be embarrassed.
But after a day's journey, it was this kind of weather again. Wen Zichu was next to him with hot water, casually accompanying Uncle Yang to talk.
"I haven't seen you for a few years, and I see you growing so big."
"Doctor Bai, at Fu Yatou's house. Is it far away? He wanted to see Doctor Bai, but he was worried that he would be far away.
Hearing Uncle Yang's words, Wen Zichu shook his head. "It's not very far, it's about half a day."
"We're going to stay in Xizhou for a few days this time, and Uncle Yang will go with us then!" Knowing Uncle Yang's wish, Wen Zichu naturally wanted to help him complete it.
And Uncle Yang is also older, if he is alone, I am afraid that no one will find out if he gets sick or something happens at that time.
Wen Zichu thought about it, and discussed it with the little junior sister when the time came. Let's see if I can let Uncle Yang go to live at her house, so that I can take care of her.
And they will leave next year, and Qingwen will be the only one at home at that time. If Uncle Yang is here, he can also show him the house, cook or something.
I had this idea in my heart, but Wen Zichu didn't rush to say it. After all, the Fu family is shallow in charge, and he can't take people away without telling her.
"Good! Good! Hearing Zichu's words, Yang Zheng nodded excitedly. This was his heart's wish, how could he refuse.
"Is your master in good health? After so many years, does he still like to eat so much? "Yang Zheng is facing the white divine doctor, who is both worshipping and like his own brother.
He was rescued by the White God Doctor and lived together for a while. At that time, he had that strange disease, and the people in his family were reluctant to talk to him for a long time. In the end, he was also kicked out. Fortunately, I met the white god doctor, and after saving him, he was willing to talk to him to relieve his boredom.
Over the years, he has also been thinking about this only old friend.
Hearing Uncle Yang's nostalgic words, Wen Zichu said with a smile. "The master is still the same, he can eat and sleep!"
"I heard from the master that I had a plan to settle down first. However, the little junior sister is still young, and she needs to be taken out to practice. ”
"It's only been a few years since I think about it, Uncle Yang, you take care of yourself. When the master comes back, the two of you will be able to fish together in the future! ”
Judging from Uncle Yang's face, he knew that he looked quite healthy on the surface. But because of the illness in the early years, I'm afraid it's not very good inside.
But it's okay to recuperate for a few more years and live another decade or two. And the master does have such an idea, and the two of them can be companions or something in the future! (To be continued.) )
