As the night deepened, the temperature outside the house plummeted, the wind howled, and the sand and rocks flew away, making the wooden doors of the adobe houses "crackle".

In the house, it was a different story.

To Ji Qingsha's surprise, this adobe house is not only spacious and empty, but also relatively clean, quite a bit of the quaint appearance of the "Dragon Gate Inn". Hu Shuo politely brought them to the side of the room and sat down, and repeatedly ordered his "nephew", the man who was certainly much older than him, although he could not tell his exact age, to pack up the fattest lamb.

For such an age contrast between uncles and nephews, Xiao Fan and Ji Qingsha are not surprised. Especially in some large rural families, it is not uncommon for nephews to be older than uncles. If it is not a nephew, but an uncle and nephew, then it is not uncommon for a nephew to be dozens of years older than his uncle, and even a nephew is dozens of years older than his uncle.

However, it seems that the nephew and his wife are very in awe of this uncle, Hu Shuo casually commanded, and the two ran around without seeing them raise any objections.

After a while, the man who cut the meat came up with a big iron fork with half a fan of mutton, and the gold-toothed woman brought a tray with some jars and jars on it, and the strong smell of pepper came to the nose, and people wanted to sneeze. It looks like it's a recipe for roasting lamb.

"At this time, the sheep are very fat, and we will definitely not be able to eat a sheep, so let's roast half of them first."

Hu Shuo said with a smile, and did not ask the guest's opinion, took the big iron fork from the hand of the meat chopping man with one hand, and with a flip of his wrist, he rested on the iron shelf above the brazier.

Ji Qingsha and Xiao Fan glanced at each other.

This Hu Shuo looks like Sven. Etiquette is thoughtful, and the inside is not a good one. This big iron fork plus half a skinned sheep is about ten catties, to say the least. There is no embarrassment in bringing it up in one hand, and any adult man can do it. However, the arm does not move at all, and it is not possible for ordinary people to flip this half of the sheep just by relying on the strength of the wrist.

The fire in the brazier was burning very strongly, and the flames licked half of the lamb with a "snort". Soon, the grease was baked out, and drops fell on the brazier. The smell of meat comes to the nose. Hu Shuo picked up the board brush and brushed the ingredients on the mutton, with gentle movements and very skillful. It can be seen that roasting sheep is a kind of work. He does it a lot.

"Miss Ji. Where are you two fighting......"

While roasting sheep, Hu Shuo chatted with Ji Qingsha seemingly casually. He could also see that Xiao Fan didn't seem to like to talk very much, so he took the initiative to lock the chat object as Ji Qingsha.

"Iron Gate."

Ji Qingsha also replied casually.

"Iron Gate? It's a good place, I haven't been to it for a long time, in fact, my hometown is also a ...... in Yanbei Province."

Hu Shuo added a little Yanbei dialect to his mouth, which was also decent.

"Really? What a coincidence. I didn't expect to meet fellow villagers here. ”

Ji Qingsha answered Hu Shuo in her mouth, constantly looking at the situation in the room. The gold-toothed woman sat behind the counter by the door. There was a wooden shelf behind him, on which were some drinks and the like. The golden-toothed woman was watching TV while munching melon seeds, laughing from time to time, and the sound of the TV was turned on very loudly. The man who chopped meat sat on the other side, hunched over, holding a flat bottle in his hand, occasionally taking a sip. Beside him, there was also a door, which, judging by the direction, should lead to another adobe house.

It seems that it was unintentional, but in fact the two men had already watched the two exits of the entire house.

Of course, not far behind Hu Shuo, there was also a closed window, just a little high from the ground. If something emergency happens, it will be difficult for this helpless "little white face" and cowardly woman to escape from the window, right?

There was a pair chatting about the sky, and half of the fat sheep had been roasted to brown unconsciously, and it was fragrant.

"Come on, Miss Ji, Mr. Xiao, eat mutton......"

Hu Shuo pushed the plate containing the long-handled knife and long-handled fork in front of Ji Qingsha and said with a smile.

"This roast mutton should be cut and eaten on the fire, so that it is the most tender and fragrant. If you cut it and put it on a plate and eat it again, the taste will be slightly worse. Come, come, you're welcome. ”

Ji Qingsha picked up a long-handled knife and a long-handled fork, tried to cut a small piece of mutton, and put it in his mouth, sure enough, it melted in his mouth, his mouth was full of burnt fragrance, he couldn't help but nodded, and said, "Well, it's good, it's delicious." ”

Hu Shuo laughed and said, "As long as Miss Ji thinks it's delicious, it's good, and I'll bake it for you every day in the future." ”

Ji Qingsha's eyebrows raised slightly, and she glanced at Hu Shuo, her eyes becoming a little cold.

As if he hadn't seen it, Hu Shuo raised his knife, cut off a large piece of roast mutton, put it on a plate at hand, and shouted, "Jinhua, come here, send this plate of meat to the next door, don't starve that kid." Our happy days in the future will all fall on him. ”

The so-called golden flower is the golden-toothed woman who was watching TV, hearing Hu Shuo's call, although she was a little reluctant, she still got up and walked over, picked up the plate and left, muttering: "What are you doing with a male baby?" And I can't make money with the guests......"

"You know. The origin of this kid is not simple, the family is always rich, and when he comes to ask for someone, hehe, we will get rich...... Go and go, don't grind. ”

Hu Shuo suddenly burst out with a foul language.

Ji Qingsha played with the meat cleaver and fork, looked at Hu Shuo, and said with a smile: "Boss Hu, how can I listen to it, it's a little wrong." You're not kidnapping, are you? ”

Hu Shuo laughed and said, "Miss Ji is really a smart person, she actually let you hear it all at once." Actually, there's no need to say it so ugly, what kidnapping is not kidnapping, it's because we're too poor, we don't want to get some money, and we can't live a life. Therefore, strictly speaking, we are robbing the rich and helping the poor, and doing the right thing for heaven. ”

Ji Qingsha smiled.

This Hu Shuo is really a talent, he is very good at reversing black and white, if he doesn't know, he thinks he is a leading cadre.

"But Miss Ji, don't worry, I won't kidnap you if I kidnap anyone. No one kidnaps their lover, right? ”

Hu Shuo smiled even more cheerfully, looking at Ji Qingsha's gaze, revealing undisguised greed. Seeing that the night was dark, the wind was howling outside the door, and the sheep had already entered the circle, there was basically nothing to worry about, and finally showed their true colors.

Ji Qingsha shook her head with a smile, and simply stopped talking.

What is there to say to a guy who has been carried away by greed?

Hu Shuo didn't care about Ji Qingsha's expression of pity, and said to himself: "Miss Ji, please rest assured, I'm not a rude person, I will be good to you." I'll hand over all the money I earn to you, and you'll be in charge of this family, okay? My words definitely count! ”

"Give me all the money you earn? Just your little shop? ”

Ji Qingsha couldn't help it, and said again.

In this world, there will always be a guy who doesn't open his eyes.

"Hey, Miss Ji, don't underestimate this small shop, as long as it is operated properly, not to mention too much, it will definitely not be a problem to earn tens of millions of dollars in a year. This thousands of miles of no man's land, but our store is one. Anyone who has taken a vehicle from here has not come to stay with me...... Let's put it this way, these are nothing, I tell you a secret, do you know who the kid I just talked about is? He is the prince of the Toba tribe! Toba, have you heard of it? ”

"There is nothing else in their tribe, there are many snow lotuses in the Tianshan Mountains, and there are snow leopard skins, snow fox skins, and countless others. We don't need much, just let them exchange some of these things for their prince, and what a lot of money it must be when it changes hands? Isn't it? To say the least, it has to be tens of millions! As long as you follow me, this money will be kept by you, and you are our family's finance minister, how about it? ”

Hu Shuo's mouth was foaming, and he was excited by this beautiful prospect.

"The prince of the Toba tribe? Can you be sure? ”

At this time, Xiao Fan, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, his tone was calm and without the slightest anger.

Hu Shuo turned his head suddenly, his burning eyes instantly became cold, with a very obvious mockery and disdain, but a smile bloomed on his face, and said, "Mr. Xiao, you finally spoke?" I thought you were dumb. If I were you, I would never ask such a stupid question. You better hurry up and eat some roast mutton, eat more, and eat to your heart's content. This should be the last meal in your life. Eat well and get on the road. ”

Xiao Fan looked at him, his face was indifferent, and his eyes were even calmer.

The corners of Ji Qingsha's mouth curled slightly, there was no ridicule, no disdain, only pity. No matter who made such a strict mistake in front of Xiao Fan, it is very worthy of sympathy and pity.

"Mr. Xiao, being looked at me like this, I know you are very wronged. But it can't be helped, you married such a good-looking wife, don't stay at home, what are you running to this no-man's land? You call it home delivery, do you understand? ”

Hu Shuo became more and more excited, looked at Ji Qingsha, and then looked at Xiao Fan, brandished the knife in his hand to cut meat, and said loudly. Until this time, the excited Boss Hu had not discovered that Xiao Fan and Ji Qingsha's expressions were too calm, and it was definitely not the reaction that normal people should have when facing this situation.

"Well, for the sake of you giving me such a beautiful woman, I can give you preferential treatment. Of course, it's not for you to choose how to die, but after I kill you, I can bury you well, and don't chop up your meat to make bun filling. Well, I'm kind and generous......"

"Uh......"

Suddenly, Hu Shuo's tirade came to an abrupt end, and he lowered his head and looked at his chest with a look of disbelief on his face.

On his chest, there was a long knife that had been cut into his chest, the blade and part of the handle had completely submerged into his body, and only a small part of the handle was exposed. Filthy blood gushed out like a spring along the hollow iron pipe. (To be continued......)
