Xia Chen turned his head: "Yueniang, have you ever seen a house more broken than this?" ”

Yueniang still had a look of surprise on her face: "No, I haven't seen it." "Even if you are poor, there will always be a thatched hut that can shelter from the wind and rain, and there is a place to sit and lie down.

Xia Chen shrugged his shoulders: "It turns out that you haven't seen it yet, then you should be as happy as me, because our days will definitely get better and better." ”

Happiness in suffering is a rare quality, and usually only people who are much more bitter can experience this kind of happiness, or they do not take the current predicament to heart at all. Although Xia Chen has experienced a lot, she is not a person who has suffered a lot, but she really doesn't take these things seriously at all.

Yueniang was a little dazed, and it took a long time to react: "What you said is right." ”

Xia Chen really didn't know where to start, so he simply threw all the things in the room into the courtyard, and after a while, the kung fu room was empty, and it became a veritable family with four walls.

She took a cotton shirt and tore it into a rag, and Yueniang just found a broken wooden basin to draw some water.

Xia Chen said: "Yueniang, have you found the pots and bowls?" ”

Yueniang nodded: "I can still use it if I find an iron pot and use it, and I can't do anything else." ”

Xia Chen said: "Then you go out for a walk, familiarize yourself with the situation nearby, and then buy some oil, rice and vegetables and come back, and leave it to me here." ”

Seeing that the sun was already high, Yueniang went out in response.

As soon as Yueniang left, Xia Chen took out a bunch of things from the ring, and then began to get busy.

About an hour later, Yueniang came back with a large bag of things, and as soon as she entered the door, she felt that something was wrong, and she was stunned for a moment before she realized that the east wing had collapsed. And Xia Chen was sitting under a willow tree at the edge of the courtyard beckoning to her, and in front of Xia Chen was a wooden shelf with an iron pot hanging from it.

"I don't think you're going to buy meat either. Let's make some soup and eat some dry food. Xia Chen said with a smile.

Yueniang came to her side, put things on the ground, and glanced at the east wing: "Why did that room collapse?" ”

Xia Chen chuckled: "It's not that it collapsed, it was for me to demolish it, anyway, it can't live in people, it's just an eyesore to put it there." ”

"Demolished?" Yueniang was a little surprised.

"Yes, I'm going to tear down the East House and make up the West House. I've seen it. There was a rain leak between the main hall and the east side of the house. The structure is quite sturdy, and it can be lived in if it is repaired, but the west wall between the west sides has collapsed. Go back and install a door, change it into a kitchen, I haven't poured out the empty demolition of the west wing, but the beams and columns of the west wing are not much damaged. Let's turn it into a pavilion. ”

Yueniang said while picking vegetables: "I didn't think you still knew this." ”

Xia Chen said: "My grandfather is an all-round craftsman, and he goes out to help with me. Naturally, I learned a little. "In fact, archaeology also includes ancient architecture, and it is necessary to have some understanding of the structure of houses in various generations, otherwise it will be troublesome to find a site and not know where to start.

The two of them had lunch in the open air. Then Xia Chen continued to work on the unfinished business, and asked Yueniang to buy some more things she needed.

The sun is setting in the west, which is the hottest time of the day. Xia Chen wiped his sweat and looked at the main house that had been basically cleaned up, feeling a sense of accomplishment in his heart.

Yueniang took the newly bought window paper and began to paste it up. Xia Chen came to the courtyard and gathered the wood and the old tables and chairs that were removed from the east wing, and began to make furniture.

Looking at the wind god chopping in her hand, she couldn't help but laugh secretly, this knife in her hand has really become a wood-splitting knife, regardless of whether it can cut iron like clay, chopping wood is really as easy as chopping vegetables, and she has basically mastered the use of this knife, it doesn't take much effort to cut wood into the shape she wants.

Yueniang pasted the doors and windows and came to the tree, and was surprised to find that Xia Chen had made a square table and two chairs, although they were remodeled on the basis of the original, but they looked like they were new.

"Chen'er, your skills are really good."

Xia Chen smiled: "I'll make two more shelves and two benches." ”

Yueniang wanted to help, but she didn't know where to start. "Chen'er, what can I do?"

Xia Chen thought for a while: "You go and bring the two bundles of rope you bought just now, and I will teach you to weave a hammock." ”

"Hammock?"

"Yes, the original bed is out of shape, the bed board is also rotten, it can't be repaired today, although the weather is not cold now, but we only have two thin quilts, and the floor will definitely catch a cold, and it is not comfortable."

Yueniang didn't ask any more, she felt that Xia Chen had thought about everything, and all problems could be solved, she just had to listen to her orders.

The fiery sunset shone obliquely in the courtyard, the rice in the iron pot was already cooked, Yueniang began to stir-fry, and Xia Chen piled the unusable waste wood to the corner of the courtyard, ready to be used as firewood.

The main house has been renovated, and the west chamber has also become a gallery pavilion, with tables and stools in the pavilion, as well as two pots of moon flowers.

"Chen'er, wash your hands and eat." Yueniang shouted with a smile on her face.

Xia Chen raised her eyes and looked around, she felt that in two more days, this place would become a comfortable and elegant residence.

Yueniang kept picking vegetables for her: "I'm tired, eat more." ”

Xia Chen realized that she had been busy all day, but she didn't feel tired, and she was in a good mood. "Yueniang, I'll fix the roof and bed tomorrow, and I'll do the rest slowly."

Yueniang chuckled and said, "Chen'er, if any girl marries you in the future, she will enjoy a lifetime of good fortune." ”

"Ahem, that's nature." Xia Chen snorted.

The bright moon hangs high, the Milky Way is like a chain, Xia Chen lies on the hammock with a mat, looking at the beautiful night sky through the gap in the roof, she and He have no intention of looking for a place to see the stars, and often do not return all night, the last time is on the night of Baektu Mountain, the two of them are eating snacks, while arguing, and then digging the stone gate of the tomb together...... Hearing that Yueniang's snort was sinking, she pulled up the quilt and closed her eyes.

The moonlight sprinkled in the courtyard, the small courtyard under the moonlight was completely undilapidated, clean and tidy, the shadows of the trees were swaying, and the corridor pavilion added a bit of elegance.

Two heads suddenly poked out of the courtyard wall, one with a silver mask and the other with a white scarf.

At this time, this scene appeared here in this way, obviously they didn't come to visit the door, but they didn't look like they came to rob and steal things, first, there was absolutely no property to be made here, and second, they came out at night to be bandits, at least a black scarf.

A moment later. The two looked at each other and nodded, then quietly slid down the wall and came to the corner of the side street together.

The silver mask said: "Although this kid is a little less scheming, he is not useless. ”

"Wuchen, I don't want to believe it now, I have to believe it, damn*, God is playing tricks like this!" The white scarf's deep eyes shone with an extremely complex light. The tone is even more sad and joyful, as well as a little angry and helpless. Completely different from the indifference of the Silver Mask.

Shang Wuchen was silent for a moment and sighed lightly: "King Ge, why don't I think so, I have been looking for many years but ......"

King Ge reached out and patted him on the shoulder: "Let's go." Drink two glasses and go. ”

The corners of Shang Wuchen's mouth hooked slightly: "Okay, we haven't drunk together for almost a year." By the way, do you want to leave some silver for Xia Chen? ”

King Ge thought for a moment: "Since he can handle it, don't worry about him for the time being." lest he be suspicious. ”

"Okay." Shang Wuchen nodded.

The long street was lonely, and the two walked far silently. Shang Wuchen pointed to a tavern with the lights still on and said, "That's it." ”

King Ge glanced up, this tavern had no name, and there was only one word of wine written on the plaque, and it was not closed yet. I think there are a lot of drunkards who come here.

Upon entering, the modest hall was filled with eight tables neatly arranged, all of which were empty. There were no customers, and there was a handsome blue-shirted boy sitting at the counter. That is, not like a buddy and not like a shopkeeper.

The young man was looking at a jade flute in his hand, and when he heard someone come in and looked up, his eyes immediately lit up, and he hurriedly got up and greeted, "Childe, you are here." ”

Shang Wuchen nodded slightly: "Two jars of bamboo leaves and green, and then serve some snacks at will." ”

The young man answered the call to prepare, and King Ge raised his eyes to look at Shang Wuchen: "You seem to be a frequent visitor here." ”

Shang Wuchen didn't answer directly, just glanced at the young man: "He was originally from Mingyulou. ”

King Ge smiled slightly: "I see. ”

Shang Wuchen looked at his bright smile as bright as the sun a little distractedly, and unconsciously stretched out his hand and pushed the mask: "King Ge, after a long time, you are more beautiful." ”

King Ge said: "Although I have just arrived here, I have already heard of the name of the dustless prince, of course ......" He paused and continued: "There is also the prince of Luomei." ”

At this time, the blue-shirted young man first brought up the wine and cups and saucers: "The dish will be ready immediately." ”

Shang Wuchen poured a glass of wine and drank it in one gulp: "Rumors are never credible. ”

King Ge said lightly: "Take off the mask." ”

Shang Wuchen's body shook: "I'm used to it." ”

"But I'm not used to looking at an expressionless face, which makes me taste like I don't drink." King Ge stared at the eyes behind the mask and said.

Shang Wuchen sighed lightly, stretched out his hand and slowly took off his mask: "Only you can dare to look at my face." His tone trembled a little, and his eyes changed from indifference to panic, like a proud girl whose clothes were suddenly torn apart.

King Ge's expression did not change at all, he looked at the face in front of him that could be described as treacherous, and sighed softly: "I didn't expect this poison to be so powerful. ”

Shang Wuchen drank three glasses of wine before he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "If you hadn't come to the rescue, I would have died a long time ago." ”

King Ge poured a glass of wine: "It's a pity that I couldn't save people to the end." ”

The young man in the green shirt served four plates of side dishes, and then retreated to the back hall with interest, and his eyes were hanging from beginning to end, he didn't look at Shang Wuchen or King Ge, he knew what to look at and what not to see.

Despite this, Shang Wuchen covered his face with a mask when he came over.

Only two people were left in the hall of the tavern, drinking and chatting in whispers, until late at night, when both of them were a little drunk.

King Ge stretched and leaned on the back of the chair: "Listen to what you mean, many people are already paying attention to you and want to check your details. ”

"Yes, and I think someone wants to start with Xia Chen."

King Ge sneered, "These people's noses are really smarter than dogs. ”

Shang Wuchen said: "I never understood how King Ge could know that there was such a person as Xia Chen, and I also knew that I was looking for him." ”

King Ge rubbed a ring inlaid with red jade on his middle finger with his thumb and said with a wry smile: "One day you will know the reason, what I never expected is that what you found was a boy." ”

Shang Wuchen's voice was bitter: "I didn't expect it, but I definitely didn't find the wrong person." ”

"yes, you're not mistaken." He looked up to the sky and sighed: "It's fate and God who are wrong." (To be continued) R655
