Chapter 16 Firewood House
Gu Zaoli rubbed his palms, his fingertips were still cold and cold: "Hungry?" ”
He originally thought that Wen Ruyan would not be able to bear it for a while, and he laughed at her again, but he didn't expect Wen Ruyan to be so enduring, but he was about to die of coldness.
If he knew that Wen Ruyan was just waiting to fall asleep, he was afraid that he would die in his heart.
Wen Ruyan nodded, thinking that it was dark and winter, and he couldn't see his five fingers, and hurriedly said, "Hmm~"
Gu Zaoli wanted to laugh at her, but when he heard her voice, he couldn't help but soften.
"Let's go, I'll take you out for supper."
Wen Ruyan saw him move and looked hesitantly in the direction of the cauldron.
Now that everyone is so poor, she thinks it will be good to do it all at once.
"There's nothing left in the pot."
Wen Ruyan glanced at the direction of the cauldron unwillingly, and went out to eat with Gu Zaoli, more or less embarrassed.
But she still kept up with Gu Zaoli's footsteps.
There were no pedestrians outside, only a few shops emitting a faint glow, and the road was sluggish with gongs.
Gu Zaoli waved his hand: "Xiao Er, come here for two bowls of hot wontons." ”
"Okay."
Then there was a slight warm light in the store, and Wen Ruyan found that Gu Zaoli's hands were frozen with chilblains, and the tip of his nose was also red from the cold.
Because of the rainfall, the summer wind blows with a chill, wrapping people tightly in all directions and burrowing into the gaps.
"Guest, your wonton is ready."
The hot wonton emitted white heat, which warmly dispersed the chill on the body.
The two looked at each other without saying a word, and quietly finished eating a bowl of wonton.
"Checkout." After the two of them finished eating, Gu Zaoli took out a few pennies from his arms.
Xiao Er sat on the stool and took a nap, and stood up half-asleep.
"Another bowl to take away."
Gu Zaoli looked at Wen Ruyan, pursed his lips, and took out a few more coins from his arms.
Xiao Er yawned, stirred up tears in the corners of his eyes, and lazily answered and walked to the back kitchen.
"Why did you insist on getting that cat?"
Wen Ruyan looked at him and said firmly: "Since I have decided to raise it, I should take responsibility." ”
Gu Zaoli was silent for a while, and did not continue the topic: "Full? ”
"Hmm."
Xiao Er handed the wonton he took away to Wen Ruyan's hand, and happily put away the money.
Wen Ruyan returned to the house and put the wonton to Dudu in a small bowl.
In order to avoid Gu Zaoli, Wen Ruyan hid in the main house, and the others were embarrassed to offer to sleep in the same room with Wen Ruyan, and everyone was crowded in the other rooms.
Wen Ruyan lay on the bed, full of food and curled up at the head of her bed, because she slept for a short time in the afternoon, she couldn't sleep, her eyes were open for a while, and she fell asleep in the second half of the night.
Early the next morning, everyone went out one after another, and the sound of thunderclaps woke Wen Ruyan up.
Last night, because Wen Ruyan lived in one room alone, and several other people were crowded in one room like arhats, everyone didn't sleep well, and they stared at the dark circles under their eyes to greet Wen Ruyan.
Wen Ruyan immediately packed up the remote firewood room.
This firewood house does not have much area, it looks very small, and the location is remote, and she can not hear the sound of men snoring at that time.
There are still a few firewoods left in the house, and some spiders have nested in it, but they can still be used to clean up.
Yu Qiu's health is almost better, although he can't go to the field with others to pick up hoes, but it's still okay to help clean up the house.
Hearing that Wen Ruyan was going to clean up the firewood room, he was the first to rush over.
"Eh, how can there be a kitten?"
Seeing Dudu on the ground, Yu Qiu's eyes widened, and he reached out to grab Dudu.
Before Wen Ruyan could stop it, she saw Dudu Yuqiu's hand rubbing.
She looked at the coquettish toot in surprise.
Maybe because her hair has been abandoned by humans, so Dudu is very cruel to everyone except her, and countless people have been scratched by it.
It was also the first time she had seen Dudu get close to someone other than her.
Dudu climbed all the way up to his shoulder along Yu Qiu's arm and sat upright on it.
Yu Qiu smiled and couldn't close his mouth: "This kitten is so well-behaved." ”
Wen Ruyan thought to herself: If you see it catching other people, you don't think it's good.
The two of them cleaned up the firewood room together, which was completed earlier than Wen Ruyan expected.
Taking advantage of the break, Wen Ruyan gossiped: "Who do you say is the person with the biggest official rank here?" ”
Yu Qiu scratched his head: "A relatively large official, the county order is already a big official." ”
Wen Ruyan didn't want to meet the county order, so she pouted in disgust: "What else?" ”
"The county level and above is the state, does the history of assassination count?"
"Count, can you tell us more about this thorn history?"
"I remember that this assassin was transferred three years ago, the person is not bad, the rewards and punishments are clearly very loved, but the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, even if Xiqiao Village is managed by him, he can't take care of it, and it's not to let that dog county order be a blessing."
Speaking of the county order, Yu Qiu crooked his mouth and said with a smile: "I heard that you and your eldest brother did the fire in the county order's house?" Hey, he deserves it. ”
Wen Ruyan nodded: "Then where is the history of thorns you are talking about?" ”
"In Donglin Town, it is far away from here, you have to pass through Wushan County and Huashan County, and Donglin Town is in the easternmost part of Huashan County."
It looks like I have to go to Huashan County.
Wen Ruyan stood up: "Have you rested?" ”
The two of them picked up four large stones with smooth surfaces that looked about the same height, and got a wooden plank, which they supported with four stones to make a bed.
"You assign the master bedroom today, and I'll just sleep here."
Yu Qiu's eyes widened, and he wanted to shake his head and scowl to the tuodle on his shoulder: "How can this work?" How can you sleep in the wood room? ”
She thought very simply, everything here was bought by Wen Ruyan, anyone could sleep in the firewood room, and if Wen Ruyan slept in the firewood room, then they would be too ungrateful.
Moreover, this room can only fit one bed, which is also too basic.
"It's not appropriate for me to squeeze a girl into a room with you."
"Then you can sleep in the main room, and we will sleep in the other rooms."
"Then I guess everyone will have to fall on their pillows every day." Wen Ruyan quipped: "The main house allows everyone to have a good night's sleep, and besides, it's useless for me to sleep in such a big house, the small one here is very exquisite, I like it very much, and I can be regarded as having my own private space." ”
Yu Qiu was embarrassed and said, "But it's still not appropriate." ”
"There's nothing wrong with it, I've already decided." Wen Ruyan stretched out her arm, and Dudu jumped down her arm to her shoulder.
