Chapter 39: The Strange Mute
Zhang Liwen walked out of the courtyard of the Zhang family before he called out to Su Jindao: "Jin Niang."
Su Jin stood still, turned around and smiled: "Brother Liwen."
Zhang Liwen walked up to him and paused before saying, "Now that you have split up, it is inevitable that it will be inconvenient to be alone, if there is any difficulty, you can come to us."
Su Jin smiled, glanced up and down at Zhang Liwen and said, "Okay, thank you for taking care of me for Hu'er, if Hu'er comes back then, I'll ask him to invite you to drink."
Zhang Liwen responded lightly, and didn't take it to heart. Is Hu'er coming back? Hey, I'm afraid it's this stupid girl's imagination. Those who haven't been seen for a few years have gone to the battlefield again, and most of them are gone.
It's just that Zhang Liwen didn't say this, he was afraid that Su Jin would be sad when he heard it. Now, though...... Jin Niang is okay like this.
Su Jin took the dog back to the courtyard of the Li family. Because there was only one room, Su Jin decided not to eat with the Li family, so he prepared to make another room and build a stove by himself.
However, to build a room and make a stove, she has to go to the mountains to cut wood to build it.
She discussed it with the dog, who of course agreed to rebuild the stove in the house. However, when he went to cut down trees in the mountains, the dog was still very hesitant, and he hesitated for a long time before saying: "Jin Niang, there are wolves and snakes in the mountains, and they cut down trees?" He glanced at Su Jin's thin figure slightly, and said suspiciously: "Jin Niang, can you cut down the tree?"
Su Jin clenched her fist and swiped her little arm, she smiled: "Although this arm is not as thick as a tree, it can still be cut back if you cut it slowly."
Su Jin's arm looked a little funny, and the dog laughed out loud, and he said, "Okay, I'll help you chop it together."
"Hmm." Su Jin nodded.
Since he had this plan, early in the morning of dinner on the second day, Su Jin took his dog up the mountain from the entrance of the village.
In front of the cave around the mountain temple, Su Jin and the dog were cutting trees in the small forest.
They cut down all the small trees in the woods, just enough for the kind of dogs and Su Jin could carry back.
The dog and Su Jin were clanging and chopping trees in the grove, and suddenly a white velvet rabbit burst out from under Su Jin's feet. The rabbit appeared to be wounded, and a trail of blood was evident on the white hair on its leg. And the rabbit ran to Su Jin's feet and stopped walking, looking at Su Jin pitifully, scratching Su Jin with his paws.
Su Jin was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly put down the knife for chopping wood, squatted down and picked it up.
"What's wrong with you?" After Su Jin picked up the rabbit, he pulled the little rabbit's leg and looked at it, she said, "It seems to be scratched."
The dog also put down the knife and ran over to look at the cute rabbit with white velvet, the more he looked at it, the more familiar it became, he looked at Su Jin and said: "This rabbit looks very familiar." In particular, the red on the rabbit's ears seems to be a mute rabbit of their family. ”
"Dumb?" Su Jin was stunned for a moment, and when he looked up again, he saw a tall man in gray cloth walking over from the grass.
He carried his back and held a scythe, looking very anxious.
Seeing Su Jin holding his rabbit, he was stunned for a moment, and then pointed to the rabbit and gestured.
"Dog" Su Jin looked at him and frowned, she didn't understand his words.
"Do you know what he's talking about?" Su Jin asked again.
The dog looked at the mute, then at the rabbit, and said, "I don't know what he's talking about, but I guess he wants to get his rabbit back."
Su Jin let out an "oh" and returned the rabbit to the mute again.
The dumb man was very happy when he saw his rabbit, and bowed to Su Jin again and again.
Su Jin smiled and waved his hand. The mute sat down alone, took some herbs from the frame and medicated the scratched rabbit.
The rabbit snuggled lazily in his arms. Su Jin smiled and went to cut down a few more trees.
She and the dog dragged the trees with great difficulty. Su Jin's waist was bent.
couldn't get it, Su Jin sat down dejectedly, looking at a few tree trunks in front of him. She still overestimated her small body too much, and she couldn't do it at all.
The mute not far away looked at the two of them, put the rabbit on the frame on his back, and walked towards them. Without saying a word, he held two pieces of wood in one hand and put them on his shoulder, putting several in a row. After steady, he picked up and walked forward.
Su Jin and the dog were stunned for a moment, and hurriedly chased after them.
"Dumb, dumb." The dog cried out, but the mute carried the thing and ran as fast as he could.
Su Jin and the dog struggled to follow behind.
After a while, he arrived at the entrance of the village, and the dumb man directly carried the few pieces of wood into the courtyard of the Li family. stunned everyone in the Li family.
Su Jin and the dog rushed back, and when the dog saw that the few pieces of wood were just placed in the yard, he laughed, walked over and looked at the dumb man and said, "Dumb, it turns out that you want to help us get it back!"
The mute nodded, and then pointed to the rabbit in the frame behind him. Su Jin smiled, "It just happened to run in front of us, and we didn't save him." ”
The dumb gestured twice, Su Jin was stunned, and he didn't understand what he meant.
Cheng Zhao came over from there and saw it, so he said, "He said that although he didn't save the rabbit, you didn't hurt it, and he was very grateful to you."
Su Jin glanced up at Cheng Zhao and said in astonishment: "I can't see it, Master Chen still knows dumb language?"
Cheng Zhao raised his eyebrows and said, "The books I read are just comparative."
The mute nodded, and then pointed to the wood, gesturing.
Su Jin and the dog looked confused, and looked up at Cheng Zhao at the same time.
Cheng Zhao smiled and said, "He asked you what you were going to do after cutting so much wood?"
"Make a room and build a stove." The dog said.
The dumb man gestured for a while, and Cheng Zhao said, "He said, he can help you."
"Help us?" Su Jin was stunned for a moment, but laughed. A few pieces of wood, she and the dog couldn't move, and today thanks to the mute. It would be great if the mute could help.
"Thank you so much!" Su Jin bowed slightly.
The dumb man waved his hand, put down the box, and went to work for them.
The dog also stuck to the mute's side and helped him.
Su Jin went back to the room to change his clothes and cook them something to eat.
Still, she felt a little strange wearing an apron, kneading potato dough and looking at the mute people who were busy outside. Dumb, suddenly come to help them.
However, Su Jin intuitively felt that she had nothing to do with this mute! And it's not just him, I feel that the entire Li family has never had anything to do with this dumb man.
The mute man lived alone in the east of the village, and he seemed to be an orphan who had wandered to this village of Nihe, without relatives or cause, and had never seen him have anything to do with anyone.
The dumb man was very diligent, and he took a knife to chop the wood, and simply smoothed it out, and propped up the desk in the room.
Su Jin came out after cooking and called them into the house to eat. The dining hall is set up in the dog's room, just a small table. The dumb man glanced at it, and then snorted again.
Su Jin and the dog still didn't understand.
In the end, it was the dog who pulled Cheng Zhao in, and Cheng Zhao said, "He said that he is a carpenter and can make some small furniture, and if you need it, he can help."
Su Jin and the dog were stunned again, but Su Jin thought about it, it's okay. That's what they lack.
She and the dog don't have a stool to eat, and there is no cupboard in the dog's house. If the mute can do some for them at that time, it is excellent.
