After walking for a long time, the willows finally brightened.

There was a row of townhouses in front of him, and the golden retriever seemed to immediately find his way and ran straight to one of them, but the door of the villa was closed, and the golden retriever was in a hurry outside the door.

Su Yihuan walked over and rang the doorbell a few times, but no one responded, so he squatted down and groped under the golden retriever's neck.

Sure enough, the dog wore a collar under its thick fur, and a small sign with Lucky and a phone number on it.

Su Yihuan called according to the number, called twice and no one answered, and finally connected the third time, and the other party was a male voice:

"Hello."

"Hello sir, is your dog lost? Now that it has found a home on its own, but there is no one in your house, shall I tie it to the door for you? ”

"Oh, yes, I forgot about it."

There was a slight annoyance in the voice on the other end of the phone.

The other party was silent for a while, if it weren't for the noise on the phone, Su Yihuan almost thought that the other party hung up the phone.

After a while, I heard the male voice sound again:

"I'm sorry, I'm out of town, and I left because of an urgent matter, so I didn't care about Lucky."

The male voice paused: "Is it raining now?" ”

Su Yihuan looked up at the eaves, and sure enough, the rain was falling heavily, and the raindrops were falling down the edge of the rain corridor.

The other party said: "I'm afraid there will be thunder, Lucky can't be in the yard all day, miss, can you do me a favor?" Help me get Lucky into the house. ”

"Huh? Isn't that right? Am I a stranger? ”

"It doesn't matter, the house hasn't been renovated yet, there's nothing in it."

The other party is kind and seductive.

Su Yihuan looked in through the window, as if it was indeed empty, and he didn't see any furniture or anything.

The other party's voice was a man's low, but with a kind of clarity, it was very moving, Su Yihuan agreed, and according to the other party's words, he entered the unlocking code.

The door opened.

Lucky rushed into the house first, and lay down comfortably in front of his dog food bowl, sticking out his tongue to look at her.

Su Yihuan stood in place and looked around, it seemed that only one bedroom and bathroom on the first floor had been renovated, and the entire living room was empty, even more empty.

She squatted down and rubbed the supple hair of the golden retriever, and asked into the phone, "Where's the dog food?" ”

"The dog food is behind the living room door."

Su Yihuan quickly prepared the golden retriever's dinner, and was about to leave, but heard the other party say: "Thank you very much, it's raining hard outside, and it's not good to take a taxi in the villa, you can hide from the rain in the house first, I'll send a car to pick you up and send you back." ”

"No, I'm ......"

Before Su Yihuan finished speaking, the other party hurriedly apologized and hung up the phone, as if there was indeed something urgent.

But Su Yihuan didn't wait in the house.

In fact, she has always been a cautious person, and her behavior just now is a little scary when she thinks about it, what if this is a scam? Think

Whether out of respect for the owner or out of her own considerations, she will not enter the house again.

The rain did get heavier and heavier.

Su Yihuan sat under the rain corridor, listening to the sound of the rain, and the golden retriever chewed the dog food in the house.

Under the window of the rain gallery, there is a painting.

The painting is bamboo, the side is left blank, only a "one" is written, there is no following, and there is no payment, but even a layman can see some skills.

There are piles of pen, ink, paper, and inkstones scattered on the table next to him, and the painting Su Yihuan saw has been simply framed, but it is not inlaid with glass, and this rain blows in, I am afraid that the painting will be in vain.

She stood up and walked around the villa, and finally found a poncho on the railing at the back of the house, and she wrapped the painting tightly, and then sat down and waited for the car.

Su Yihuan thought that the owner of the golden retriever would call her a Didi taxi.

Therefore, when the Mercedes-Benz business stopped at the door, she didn't react for a while.

The driver got out of the car, a middle-aged man, opened the car door for her, and said respectfully, "Mr. Shi ordered me to pick you up." ”

The driver is a good driver, focused on his work, except for asking her address, and does not say a word of superfluous nonsense along the way.

If it weren't for the car driving smoothly all the time, Su Yihuan would have been unable to feel his existence.

When I returned to the hotel, I realized that I was tired, maybe I had walked too much during the day, Su Yihuan was groggy almost on the pillow, let the sleepiness wrap her, and closed her eyes.

It's just that this night's sleep is not sound.

The next day, Su Yihuan stayed in bed for a while before going out.

Driving all the way to the suburbs, there are many farmhouses in the villages on the edge of the city, Su Yihuan went to one when she came last time, she went around there according to her vague memory, turned around a few times, and really found it for her.

This small restaurant has changed its plaque, and it looks like the scale is also larger, and a cement floor is poured at the door for guests to park.

A teenage sister sat at the door washing vegetables, saw Su Yihuan's car parked in front of her, and greeted her with a smile, and when Su Yihuan got out of the car, the little sister looked at her and asked:

"Sister, have you been here? I remember yours. ”

The farmhouses in this neighborhood are crowded, in addition to the dishes, it is more hospitable, and the guests who came once in two years also vaguely remember, which makes people feel intimate.

The boss and the proprietress are local farmers, and the regular customers here call them Brother Zhou and Sister-in-law Zhou, which sounds like a warm family.

Farmhouse, naturally only home-cooked food, is better than guarding the bamboo forest and pine forest on the mountain, the ingredients are fresh, guests can dig up the ingredients by themselves, bamboo shoots, mushrooms and even matsutake mushrooms.

Sister-in-law Zhou was wiping the table in the house, and when she saw her, she smiled and said:

"Girl, you came just in time, the winter bamboo shoots on the mountain have just begun to be harvested, and now is the time to fresh."

Su Yihuan was moved by what he said, and readily agreed, and followed Brother Zhou and another table of guests up the mountain to dig winter bamboo shoots.

Brother Zhou patiently explained the technical essentials of digging bamboo shoots with the guests while looking for them, Su Yihuan listened carefully, and when he basically mastered the essentials, he would try it himself.

She followed the example of Lao Zhou, first observed and carefully observed to find loose or cracked mud on the surface, and then used a hoe to dig a hole, bearing in mind Brother Zhou's instructions not to turn over a large piece of soil, in case the whip root was lost and broken, and soon dug out the first winter bamboo shoot.

With the first success, Su Yihuan dug half a basket of bamboo shoots very smoothly, and then returned to the village with Brother Zhou with the heavy results, and experienced the fun of returning home with his own hands for the first time.

Bamboo shoots are calculated by the pound, after going back, on the scale, Zhou's sister-in-law gave her the bamboo shoots to take a carton and pack it, I heard that Su Yihuan wanted to go back to cook by herself, so she specially processed a few bamboo shoots, peeled white and clean, washed and sealed in plastic.
