Chapter 43: The Man in the Rain (I)
In the early afternoon, a horse-drawn carriage slowly drove into Sungai Village, attracting villagers working in the fields by the roadside.
Following Gu Anning's instructions in the carriage, the carriage slowly stopped outside a dilapidated house.
"Girl, the place has arrived." After saying that, the coachman lifted the curtain for her.
Gu Anning walked out of the carriage with the child on her back and the basket on her back, and then paid the driver the price she had agreed on the road, that is, twenty yuan.
The coachman who received the silver drove the carriage away, and Gu Anning also turned around and entered the courtyard.
Putting down the backpack behind him, he took out the key from the space and opened the door through his sleeve.
Putting the child into the room, Gu Anning checked him and fed his little belly, and then came to the table next to him and sat down.
Thinking of the silver she earned today, she took out the silver from the space, and counted the silver, and the silver she earned these days added up to more than a hundred taels.
Looking at the silver, Gu Anning estimated the amount of money needed to build a house, build furniture, and buy various necessities for a new house.
In modern times, I have never bothered about these things, and I can buy whatever house I want. Now for these bricks and tiles, it is to invite people, and to start construction. It was the first time she had come across these things.
But fortunately, she has a smart mind, and although these things are all first-time experiences, she still sorts them out smoothly.
Once you've sorted out what you're going to do, it's much easier to get organized.
Put the silver into a box and put it in the space, and while there was still sunlight outside, Gu Anning took the medicine in the space out to dry.
When the sun was about to set, Gu Anning thought of the chicken in the space that had not yet been slaughtered, so she went back to her room and entered the space.
Entering the space, Gu Anning came to a small fence circle that she had fenced with wooden sticks in her spare time.
The pheasant that has not yet been slaughtered usually just throws a bunch of vegetable leaves planted in the space for it to eat, and the rest is gone, and I don't know what happened to the pheasant now.
However, when she looked, she spotted more than a dozen shiny wild eggs lying quietly on the ground not far from the pheasant.
When she saw this nest of eggs, Gu Anning's expression on her face was slightly stunned, and she was suddenly a little stunned in her heart.
Later, when she thought of the ten days inside the space and the one day outside, she was relieved.
He looked at the pheasant, and then at the eggs. I thought that tonight's dish would be this pheasant, but I didn't expect her to lay eggs.
Thinking that she hadn't tasted eggs for a long time, Gu Anning couldn't help licking her pink lips with some joy, her face full of smiles.
If this pheasant knew how to think, he would have been startled by her covetous appearance.
Opening the small fence door, Gu Anning walked in and picked up four eggs on the ground, and then went to the ground to pick a verdant cabbage and left the space.
Out of the space, she went to the kitchen, put a handful of rice into the space, and put it in the pheasant's pen.
"Little girl, for the sake of seeing so many eggs you lay, this is your reward."
She scanned the space with her divine sense, and when she saw that the pheasant was eating rice grains happily, she smiled and said.
Having said that, Gu Anning likes to eat eggs very much, especially steamed ones. When you enter it, it is smooth and tender, and it is accompanied by a rich egg aroma, which is particularly delicious and delicious.
Looking at the four glossy little fat eggs on the table, Gu Anning washed the rice and poured it into the spiritual spring water to boil, and then beat the two eggs into the plate, added some spiritual spring water and oil and salt to beat and steamed.
Taking advantage of the free time now, Gu Anning came to the room where the doe was kept, added a handful of grass and spiritual spring water to them, and left.
In the courtyard, a rare breeze blows, and the sky with afterglow is gradually obscured by dark clouds, giving people a feeling of oppression.
Looking at the sky like this, it is estimated that there will be a heavy rain tonight.
Feeling the cool breeze that had blown, Gu Anning came to the courtyard and moved all those herbs back to the room, and then put them in the space.
Looking at the somewhat rotten thatch on the roof, Gu Anning sighed. It seems that on a rainy day, this house will definitely leak rain, and tonight I will enter the space to be one, so as not to be wet by the leakage.
After shaking her head, Gu Anning also went back to the kitchen.
When the rice was almost cooked, Gu Anning fried the remaining two eggs, and then fried a boiled cabbage.
After everything was done, Gu Anning put the meal on the table and began to enjoy it.
In the middle of the meal, there was a sound of a drizzle of rain hitting the upper floors outside.
It's raining.
A gust of wind blew in and drove a drizzle in, wetting the threshold.
The rain is accompanied by bursts of thunder, which is particularly scary.
After finishing the meal, Gu Anning cleaned up the kitchen and went to the dilapidated house where the two deer were kept.
Since half of the straw on the roof of the dilapidated room was gone, the two deer locked up inside were already wet.
Gu Anning waved her hand, and then put the two already wet deer into the space.
Afraid that the two of them would spoil their medicine field and vegetable field, Gu Anning found a rope and tied the two of them to a wooden stake that had just been driven, and then threw it some vegetable leaves and a small basin of water.
With the protruding eaves, Gu Anning returned to the room, and her clothes were already half soaked by the rain.
Back in the room, she took out a dress from the space and changed it into.
At this time, the sky was already completely dark, and after changing into a dress, Gu Anning lit a kerosene lamp.
The bean-sized lantern swayed in the air, as if it would go out at any moment.
At this time, the rain outside gradually became heavier, and finally turned into a downpour. Wiping the wet hair on her head, Gu Anning came to the bedside and then raised her eyes to look at the roof.
As the rain slowly increased, the thatched hut gradually seeped out that the rain was dripping down drop by drop, and there were many more places like this.
In order not to make the floor in the room muddy, Gu Anning found five large wooden barrels and put them in the leaky place to wait for water.
As soon as she had dealt with this, she noticed a strange noise not far from her courtyard.
Hearing these sounds, Gu Anning sighed in her heart, and then the whole person became vigilant.
These sounds were very slight, and if it weren't for the fact that she had practiced martial arts and had the nourishment of spiritual spring water every day, which made her hearing more and more powerful, otherwise she would have been difficult to detect.
The voice gradually approached him, Gu Anning leaned lightly against the wall next to the door, and a machete appeared in his hand.
