Chapter 212: The Old Residence
"You let her order, after all, she's staying." Shocked Dust looked into the distance, and flicked the whip again.
Qi Liang was silent for a long time.
By the time they arrived at the town, it was already noon.
The town is surrounded by fields and flowing water, and there are signs of good harvest at every glance.
In the fields, there are many villagers who are busy shuttling, laughing and laughing.
There is a laid-back and comfortable place.
Ying Zhichu helped Peach Blossom get out of the car, and the two ran towards the field in tacit understanding, intending to go to the villagers to inquire about the old house on the map.
Dusty pulled the carriage aside and got up to work.
Qi Liangzheng stood in place, looking at the figure in the concubine-colored dress running towards the field, with a cold space in his eyes.
"You said the house on this picture, hey, wife, look, isn't this the empty house in the back mountain?" The old man wiped the sweat from his face and beckoned to the woman who was packing up the basket.
The woman was short in stature, and her skin was tanned, but she was very handsome, and she exclaimed, "What do you say? How many years have the dilapidated houses in the back mountain been empty, how can there be anyone to live in, little girls, you can't find anyone. ā
"Don't look for anyone." The peach blossom holding the urn waved his hand, with a flattering smile on his face, "Uncle, you read it right, this picture is really the place you said?" ā
The old man squinted, and confirmed it carefully, before nodding: "It's not wrong, you look at this stone pier in front of this house, I recognize it, when I was a child, I didn't carry my family up the mountain secretly, and I fell and injured myself several times, I sat on this stone pier, waiting for the man to bandage me, hehehe, the man's wound medicine worked for a long time, and there ...... He's also very good at his craft. ā
When the old man said this, he seemed to be reminiscing about something, and even smacked his lips.
Peach Blossom and Ying Zhichu glanced at each other, and they both saw the joy in each other's eyes.
Listening to what he said, that man was Mr. Weng when he was young after all.
It seems that you have really found the right place.
"Then, that uncle, it's convenient for you to take us to the back mountain to have a look, I have, I have the silver to thank you!" Peach Blossom said excitedly.
The old man frowned when he heard this, and waved his hand: "Hey, what kind of silver are you mentioning, they are all people in the mountains, there are not so many rules, it is time for us to go home for dinner, if the two girls don't dislike it, go and eat with me first, let's talk about the side, okay?" ā
"This ......" Peach Blossom hesitated, she was very anxious to go to the back mountain, and wanted to see Mr. Weng's former residence.
Ying Zhichu looked at her and persuaded: "Peach Blossom, don't worry, let the uncle eat before talking about this." ā
Then he said to the old man: "I'm sorry, my friend has been running for several days to find this place, but fortunately you always recognize the house on this map." ā
"Oh, it's okay, you can go back with me first, I see you still have two friends, call them together." By the way, girl, what is your relationship with the man who lives in the back mountain? The old man thought about it vigorously, and he didn't remember that the man had taken the little girl to live at that time.
"IāI'm a distant relative of his, he'...... is already dead, I want to bury him in the old soil of the former residence......" Peach Blossom is intermittent, I don't want to say more.
Ying Zhichu took her hand and followed behind the old man and his wife.
The old man asked some more questions, and Peach Blossom picked what he could say and gave it to him.
Qi Liangzheng and Jingchen followed them not far away, but they were also speechless.
This old man's family lives in a house not far away, the house is not small, and there are many empty houses, but there are no more people in the courtyard except for the chickens, ducks and geese.
"Well, since my old mother passed away, my wife and I have lived here, and there are a lot of empty houses." As the old man spoke, he opened the door.
beckoning everyone to sit down, he poured water and brought some washed melons and fruits.
Ying Zhichu glanced at Qi Liangzheng, and then lowered his head to drink water.
When the woman was busy with a table of dishes, everyone ate together.
"Little dolls, let's go, I always have to sleep on the recliner after dinner, but I see you pouting when you eat, hahaha, if my old man rests a little longer, you will probably scold me behind my back."
"No, no." Peach Blossom, who was poked in the center, blushed.
The old man changed into clean clothes and walked towards the back mountain with these young children.
After walking for more than an hour, several people found the old house.
Peach Blossom took a few steps forward, looked at the room, and felt that a trace of consciousness sealed in her mind was quietly opened.
The strangeness of this place reveals familiarity.
The old house seems to be covered with a thick layer of ash from the outside, and it looks desolate.
There are countless cobwebs in the house, one layer on the other.
Peach Blossom and Ying Zhichu cleaned up the room slightly, barely able to look at it twice.
Then, she untied the burden she brought, took out the tablet that had been prepared earlier, placed it on the offering table in the middle, and took some melons and fruits, incense candles and other things that she brought from the old man's house and set them up.
I bowed three times before I came out with the urn.
Looking at the crooked neck tree in the courtyard, Peach Blossom discussed with Ying Zhichu: "Just bury Mr. there, he likes to drink tea and play chess under the tree on weekdays." ā
Ying Zhichu rolled up his sleeves and hummed softly.
"I won't bother you, old man, I'll take the guys." The old man took a shovel, stood under the tree, pointed to a place and asked, "Little baby, do you want to bury this?" ā
Peach Blossom originally wanted to refuse, but seeing that the old man was so happy, she was embarrassed to refuse, "Okay, then it's bothering you." ā
"What's this called, it's a little meaning. After all, I had a lot of affection for him when I was a child. The old man said and dug it.
ā¦ā¦
When everything was done, the old man got another empty plank and put it on the dirt bag.
It's a grave.
Peach Blossom didn't care so much, and even she kept smiling on her face.
Although she couldn't remember the place, she was very happy.
Happy Mr. is home, and happy with herself.
In addition to Qi Liangzheng watching from the sidelines, even Jingchen also helped a lot.
When they were done, they all went down the mountain.
The sky darkened completely.
"Stay here tonight." The old man is warm.
The four of them looked at each other and felt that this was the only way to go.
Although he hurried back at night, he was not afraid of meeting bandits or something with the skills of shocking dust and Qi Liangzheng.
But look at Ying Zhichu and Taohua's dirty little faces, as well as the tired and prostrative posture, and then they may not be able to eat it if they rush overnight.
Seeing these people agree, the old man was very happy.
It seems that it is because the family has not been so lively for a long time, and it is a hearty meal in the evening.
The people who ate hiccuped and went back.
Ying Zhichu followed the woman to lift the wooden basin, wash up a little, and then prepare to go back to the house.
Tonight, she slept with Peach Blossom, and Jingchen and Qi Liang slept in one room.
She was just about to push the door into the house, when she saw that not far from the courtyard, Qi Liangzheng and Peach Blossom were talking about something, and even Peach Blossom was very unhappy when she heard it.
After thinking about it, Ying Zhichu still didn't bother with things, so he went back.
It's just that at night, I heard the faint cry of peach blossoms.
She patted the woman on the shoulder and motioned for her to go to bed early.
But his eyes widened, and all he thought about was the black-clothed young man in the middle of the courtyard.
Following
paid the old man a very good salary, and asked him to take care of the old house in the back mountain.
I went to clean up and clean up every other month, and I went to the grave or something.
The old man readily agreed, and made a verbal guarantee.
Peach Blossom reluctantly looked at the place and got into the carriage.
The carriage staggered away and left.
