Chapter 578: Calling for Rice (9)
With a bowl and chopsticks in one hand and a wine glass in the other, He Bufan walked quickly to the table, threw the wine glass on the table, picked up the wine bottle and poured wine into the glass. The bottle is ceramic, quite big and has a small belly; The wine is liquor, brewed from pure grains, and the aroma of wine fills the house.
After pouring the wine, He Bufan took a sip, his mouth opened wide, and said: "Good wine" His face flushed, and he immediately picked up the vegetables to eat.
Qian Xiwu drank wine today, and he was almost very drunk at this time, and he didn't want to drink because he was uncomfortable drinking. Seeing He Bufan drinking, the wine tasted fragrant, and he was attracted by the wine, so he went to get the wine bottle. He shook it, put the dishes and chopsticks on the table, and walked quickly to the cupboard to get the wine glass.
He walked back with a glass in one hand and a bottle in his hand, filling his glass and pressing the bottle on the table. Before he could drink, he seemed to be drunk for three points.
He put down his wine glass, picked up the rice bowl and took a few bites of rice, and took a few bites of the dishes on the table.
After chewing the food in his mouth, Qian Xiwu picked up the wine glass and stretched it out to He Bufan: "Come, take a sip." ”
He Bufan touched his glass with him and took a sip with him.
Qian Xiwu took a sip of wine, put the wine glass on the table, ate the rice bowl with his hand, ate the dishes in the rice, and then went to pick up the dishes on the table. "The wine is delicious, and the food is delicious." Qian Xiwu praised, his mouth was full.
He Feng saw that He Bufan and Qian Xi were all drinking. Serving the rice bowl, he walked to the cupboard cabinet, took the wine glass, and walked back to the table. He put the glass down, picked up the bottle and poured it.
When the shopkeeper saw it, he just put the food in his mouth, "This has become your family, the food eats my land, there is no porridge to catch my rice to make, and you drink wine?" ”
He Bufan took a sip of wine, opened his mouth, and said: "We are tired of working for your family, drink some wine to relieve fatigue, and when the time comes, lie down and sleep soundly." After finishing speaking, He Bufan took a bite to eat, and went to the table to eat a few bites of food.
In the kitchen, the shopkeeper sits around the table to eat. Qian Xiwu, He Bufan, and He Feng were all standing to eat and drink, with wine glasses on the table and chopsticks in their hands.
Na Fei Teng boiled the porridge on the fire, covered the pot, and added firewood to the stove. The fire whirred and reddened his face, and he felt that the fire was roasting his face.
The fire was high, and the pot was quickly boiled. Fei Teng opened the lid of the pot and took a spoon to boil the porridge. The pot boils, and the smell of raw rice, the taste of rice, becomes more and more ripe with time.
The shopkeeper couldn't, and was hiding from the workers, but the workers rushed in, and they ate and drank unceremoniously. He didn't want to eat his own food.
The butler greeted the guests in front of the carriage, and sold a horse liver, a horse leg, and some horse ribs. He was armed with a sharp knife with oil on his hands.
The people who bought the horse meat left, and the people who came to see the horse meat also left, and a few villagers came here.
"Selling horse meat, it's all two copper plates a catty. Look at the horse meat, and I'll cut it for you. The housekeeper greeted the guests, looked back at the construction site, and looked at the workers.
"Huh!?" The housekeeper turned his body completely away from the construction site, facing the collapsed house that had been almost razed to the ground. Where are the workers? Where's the family? Where did the Fei Teng, who was sitting in the chair, go? No one left?
"What the hell?" The butler's hands were oil, with some blood attached, and the sharp knife with blood and oil was on the butler's right hand, and the tip of the knife was pointed towards the collapsed house, and the butler looked inside and outside the courtyard, but there was no one to see.
"Where have all the people gone?" The butler sighed.
The butler took a step towards the collapse of the house, leaving the sale of meat behind. In his eyes, what is in front of him is something that cannot happen, and people can't just disappear silently?
"Hey, you horse..." A guest wanted to ask if Ma had tenderloin, and saw the housekeeper walking towards the house that had been picked up and smashed the wall, and the housekeeper seemed to have seen something? Seeing the incredible? He stopped talking and looked at the butler.
The housekeeper went into the ruined house, and went around to see the workers, looking for the two housekeepers, and for the Fei Teng who was sitting on the chair.
"Hefeng?" The housekeeper walked in the collapsed house.
"Qian Xi Five?"
"Why not?" The butler was calling the workers by name.
When I came to the courtyard, the chair that Fei Teng had sat on was quietly there, and no one had touched it.
"Fei Teng!" After seeing the chair Fei Teng sat on, he called out to Fei Teng and looked at the sides of the house.
"Why is the family gone?" The housekeeper turned back to the construction site to find the housekeeper.
There were no family members on the construction site, so he looked at the sides of the house, and there were no family members.
"Hey?" The housekeeper went into the courtyard and looked at the people in the empty courtyard.
The courtyard was empty, and when the butler came to the shopkeeper's house, he opened the door and looked in. "Hey, anyone?" The butler put his hand on the door and looked in.
"Anyone?" It's quiet in the room, I wonder if there is anyone?
The butler opened the door wide, slowly lifted his feet, and walked into the room.
"Anyone?" The housekeeper is calling the people in the house.
The housekeeper came to the living room table, and there was no sound in the room. There was no one in the house, this was the house of the shopkeeper and his wife, and the workers could not come to this house.
"Qian Xi Five?" The workers would not come to the house, but the housekeeper called tentatively.
When no one responded, the butler looked at his house and retreated.
The butler went out of the house and closed the door. Look at the yard, look at the construction site. "Hey! Do you still sell meat? The guest who wanted to buy meat in front of the carriage asked.
All of a sudden, the workers were gone, and those who worked did not work. The family is gone. There was no one in the shopkeeper's house. The steward had no intention of selling horse meat anymore. He said, "I won't sell it yet." ”
The steward wanted to ask, but they could see the construction site when they bought horse meat, but they listened to the man: "What are you yelling about?" I don't know if the man hit the carriage or kicked it off, and there was a thud of hitting the planks. The man was angry and left, and he didn't say what to do when he sold horse meat, let him wait?
Seeing that the man was gone, the butler shouted to the man in front of the carriage, "Don't sell it yet." ”
The men gathered in front of the carriage muttered to each other and dispersed.
Everyone dispersed, but the courtyard was still so quiet.
"Where have all the people gone?" The butler's hands were oily, some blood was on the palms and fingers, the sharp knife was full of oil, and some blood was printed on the white knife.
The housekeeper was thinking about the backyard, facing south, and he could see the road to the backyard. The housekeeper looked at the road and took the first step.
The housekeeper didn't leave very quickly, he was thinking about the backyard, thinking about Qian Xiwu and them, as well as the family members of this house, and even the people in this shopkeeper's house.
The housekeeper walked very slowly to the south side of the house. He faced the backyard and walked towards it with a knife. The walk to the backyard wasn't very fast. He walked past the house and smelled the smell of food and wine.
There was the sound of eating, the courtyard was quiet, and the sound of eating was heard by the housekeeper. The butler looked into a room in which he had entered with the lord of the village, and the door was ajar to block the view from the room. He looked up at the chimney of the house, which was smoking, and rushed straight into the air, and dissipated into the air.
