Chapter 19: The Old House
In her previous life, although she often came to this dilapidated house, she was only to avoid her aunt's pursuit, and her mother said that this house was unlucky and did not let her approach, because she had never entered the house.
There was a rusty lock hanging on the door, Jiang Yao pulled it with all his strength, and even the deadbolt of the padlock was pulled down, which showed the dilapidated house .
Reaching out and pushing, there was a creak, the dust falling on the door, and the choking person's nose was itchy, and he wanted to sneeze.
The room is not the same as imagined, there is a table in the center, there is a tea set on the table, there are two stools under the table, there are no dishes and chopsticks and no pans around the room, it is not so much that the teapot was left behind when moving, it is better to say that the family only drinks water and does not cook!
This decoration reminded Jiang Yao of the days in Wenchangbo's mansion in her previous life, when she was the pearl of Wenchangbo and Mrs. Bo, and there was never a fire in the courtyard to cook......
Jiang Yao looked around, the copper basin for washing her face was behind the door, but it had already fallen half a finger thick of dust, which showed that she had not lived in it for decades, and there had been no one for more than ten years.
Looking at the dilapidated beams that were about to collapse, Jiang Yao thought to herself that she should do a good deed and bring these things back for recycling, of course she wouldn't admit that their mother and daughter moved out of their uncle's house, and they couldn't even bring out a basin that they used to use!
There's also a wardrobe~
Jiang Yao walked over with great interest, opened the wardrobe and rummaged for a long time, what was placed in the cabinet seemed to be a brocade quilt, but it had not been touched for many years, and there was not much left that had been eaten by insects.
It seems that there were still rich people living here in the past, and with this idea, I actually felt that the layout of this house was really familiar, and it seemed to be the decoration of a large family in Beijing.
How can it be? Jiang Yao shook his head, drove away the unrealistic thoughts in his mind, continued to rummag, and after looking for a long time, he barely found a working sheet, wrapped the basin, stuffed the teapot and cups, and walked out.
As soon as she reached the door, she squeaked and didn't know what she was stepping on, and she stretched out her legs and scratched at random on the dusty ground, a round object covered in dust.
Jiang Yao bent down to pick it up and wiped it with his cuffs, but before he wiped it clean, his eyes were already as big as copper bells!
Jade...... Jade pendant? How did this piece of Kodama pendant end up here?
Jiang Yao's heart was in turmoil, holding the jade pendant tightly with one hand, countless possibilities came over the river and the sea, and when the last thought came out, she was so shocked that she almost crushed the jade pendant in her hand!
"Yao girl! I see you, come out! It was Liu Xiaoguang who turned back, and his voice was a little ethereal, as if he was very far away.
Jiang Yao came back to her senses, there was already cold sweat on her forehead, she wanted to know, she desperately wanted to know how her father and mother had her, and what did she miss in her previous life?
"Yao girl, I have something to tell you, come out!" Liu Xiaoguang'er's voice was getting closer and closer.
Jiang Yao walked out of the house lightly and quietly approached the dog cave.
"It's strange...... why did the person who chased here suddenly disappear?" Liu Xiaoguang muttered to himself, looking up at the dilapidated house.
"It's not going to be hiding in this house, is it?"
Jiang Yao had just stood next to the dog cave, only a wall away from Liu Xiaoguang'er, and when she heard this, her heart tightened, and she took a step towards the wall.
With a creaking sound of stepping on a branch, Jiang Yao was so frightened that his heart leaked half a beat, if he was caught here, this bachelor would have nowhere to explain what happened to him!
"Yao girl, what are you doing in the broken house? Come out! Liu Xiaoguang'er said in a commanding tone.
Jiang Yao held her breath and squatted down slightly, she couldn't get out, this height should not be seen on the wall.
"If you don't come out again, I'll go over the wall and get in!" Jiang Yao was sure that Liu Xiaoguang'er was cheating her.
She put the burden in her hand on the ground, picked up a broken branch the thickness of a child's arm on the ground, held it tightly in her hand, stared at the wall with her chin half-raised, and made the movement of hitting the wall with a stick.
"I really went in!" Accompanied by the sound of picking up the wall, Liu Xiaoguang said with a sigh.
The broken wall is still quite high, there is a person or so, seeing a pair of hands appear on the wall, Jiang Yao took two steps back, adjusted the angle, raised the stick in his hand, and waited for someone to come up.
Liu Xiaoguang grabbed the wall with both hands and kicked under his feet, "Oops! It's so cold in this snow! ”
Just when Jiang Yao thought that someone was going to come up, Wu heard such a sentence, which made her heart tremble a few times.
It makes sense that he has been a bachelor for so many years, he can't even touch a few handfuls of snow, and he can't bear any hardship, who would dare to marry his daughter to him?
"It's really frozen...... "Liu Xiaoguang'er complained as he patted the remaining snow on his hands.
"I heard movement inside, Yao girl, don't hide, if you hide again, I'll really go in!"
Jiang Yao: "......"
You're coming in......
Really, a blunt knife cuts the flesh the most, or you come in and I'll give you a stick, you're always threatening, it's really torturous.
Although he said so, Liu Xiaoguang squatted in the corner, one word, waiting for the rabbit! I don't believe you won't come out!
A gust of cold wind swept the snow on the wall, and it fell right on the open back of Liu Xiaoguang'er's neck under the wall.
Suddenly!
Cool!
Liu Xiaoguang jumped to his feet coldly, "God is against Lao Tzu, I squatted for a while to provoke you?" You scraped snow into my neck? ”
Well! complaining about the sky, he deserves not to marry his daughter-in-law, Jiang Yao slandered.
While complaining that Liu Xiaoguang was still kicking the wall, the snow on the wall was kicked, accompanied by the slag falling down, Jiang Yao raised a small face, and just caught it, no waste at all!
Not to mention Liu Xiaoguang'er outside the hospital, the wind was blowing in his direction, and he didn't relieve his anger after kicking a few feet, but instead fell with snow all over his face.
"Hey! Isn't it against Lao Tzu? I'll see you fall again! I'll see you fall again! ”
There were a few more knocks, Jiang Yao was really afraid that this broken wall would not be able to withstand and collapse!
Jiang Yao: "......" is really self-inflicted!
"Meow!"
"Meow!"
"Meow!" A wild cat couldn't stand the destruction of Liu Xiaoguang'er, and jumped out from somewhere, and the resentful eyes of the meow master could be felt from a few meters away.
"Meow!" The meow master yelled at Liu Xiaoguang'er impatiently, as if to say, "People are tired of cats!" ”
"It turned out to be a wild cat, wasting Lao Tzu's time!" Liu Xiaoguang took a sip, kicked the snow under his feet, and scolded and left.
Jiang Yao let out a long sigh of relief, and crawled out of the dog hole with her waist bent.
She trotted all the way to Lao Liu's house in the south of the village, and Lao Liu's family opened a rice and noodle shop in the town, and the family naturally had a lot of grain.
Uncle Liu is not at home, only Aunt Liu and Liu Er, who have just gotten out of school, are at home.
Liu Er was looking at a painting in the courtyard and was distracted, the painting showed a distant mountain, and at the foot of the mountain was the back of a person.
