Chapter 10 The Old Mansion in the Back Mountain
"Naturally, I want my sister to be well." Qu Tingsheng stared at Qu Die.
"You're not stupid, you don't have to be bullied in the future, whoever says you're stupid, you can tell my brother, and I'll beat him."
Qu Tingsheng's eyes were firm, and he raised his fist at her.
Qu Die smiled and put his hand down, "Don't be so nervous, no one will dare to mess with our brothers and sisters in the future." ”
Her brother is clearly a weak scholar, and she can do whatever it takes for her sister to do anything, and she is very moved in her heart.
"Brother, when will I get to the old house? I'm a little tired. Qu Die raised a smile and changed the topic.
"Yes, yes, I forgot about this matter if you don't say it, the old house is in front, let's go quickly!"
Qu Tingsheng was in a hurry, after what happened just now, his sister must be tired, what's the matter with him? He actually talked here for a long time, and he blamed himself in his heart as he walked.
Qu Die followed him for a while and climbed another mountain. Soon the two of them were in front of the old house.
"Alright, here it is."
Qu Die stopped in front of the door of the house and looked around, there was no human population around, the only thing she could hear was the chirping of birds on the mountain.
It seems that it has been uninhabited for a long time.
Just as she was looking at her surroundings, Qu Tingsheng had already pushed the door and walked in.
Since there was no one for a long time, the door creaked, and it sounded a little harsh, Qu Tingsheng hurriedly lightened the movements of his hands, and when he stepped into the room, the scene inside made him stunned.
He remembered that before he left here, all the tables and chairs were there, and there was a cupboard and a bed, but now there were only two simple beds left in the room.
He walked to another room, where the shelves were still there, but they were empty, and all the things he had left here were gone. Qu Tingsheng walked to the other wall, and when he opened the cabinet, he found that there was also nothing inside.
"This ...... How did it come to be like this? Qu Tingsheng was stunned.
Qu Die walked in after him, and as soon as she entered the door, she choked on the dust and sneezed.
"Brother, what's wrong?" Qu Die followed Qu Tingsheng's eyes and looked over, "This cabinet is really the cleanest thing in the house." ”
Qu Tingsheng's face was flushed, and his face was embarrassed, "This was not like this before, there are quilts and clothes, there is not so much dust at all, I will go back now, let them return the things!" ”
Qu Tingsheng was ashamed and angry, ashamed that he promised his sister but did not give him a good environment, and angry that the people of the Qu family actually emptied things without his consent.
"Forget it." Qu Die stopped him, "It's going to be a long time if you go back now, it's dark when you come back, let's see if there's anything else left!" ”
Qu Tingsheng was angry and anxious, and after listening to his sister's words, he finally calmed down, and the two left the house to go around, trying to see if there was a way to borrow something from others, but they were disappointed.
Not to mention the surroundings, even this hill is uninhabited, and the surrounding weeds are extremely desolate.
"It looks like there's really no one left." Qu Tingsheng's tone was full of remorse.
"It's okay," Qu Die didn't know where to get a branch, "there is so much ash in the house, it has to be cleaned after all, and we will do it ourselves without tools." ”
She took the branch in her hand and gestured a few times, picked up another one from the side, and tied the two together, and then nodded with satisfaction.
"What are you doing?" Qu Tingsheng looked at her curiously.
"We'll go to the mountains and get some branches in a moment." Qu Die pointed not far away, "Come back and tie them together, so as to disturb the house!" ”
Qu Tingsheng looked at the happy smile on his sister's face, and the sadness in his heart was also alleviated a lot.
"Okay." He walked a few steps and stood beside Qu Die, "Then let's go quickly, while it's still dark." ”
The brother and sister immediately entered the mountain, and after a while, they returned with a large pile of branches. Qu Die tied them together in front of the house and made a broom, and Qu Tingsheng found a sickle from somewhere, cutting the grass around the house.
Qu Die glanced up at him, then lowered his head and got busy.
Wouldn't it be weird if she went back and got some tools? What if my brother asks where he came from?
She shook her head, dispelling the thought for a moment.
After the broom was done, she gave Qu Tingsheng one, and they cleaned separately one room by one, which seemed more relaxed.
Qu Die swept out all the ashes in the house, grabbed a piece of cloth and wiped it, Qu Tingsheng was fetching water by the well, and the brother and sister worked with each other for a while, and finally cleaned up the house.
"Brother, there are actually two sets of bedding here." Qu Die's voice was full of surprise.
Qu Tingsheng hurried over after hearing her words, he didn't expect that the simple two sets of bedding could make her so happy, which made Qu Tingsheng's heart even more uncomfortable, he brought his sister back, but did not give her a good life.
Qu Die naturally didn't know what he was thinking, so he happily took the bedding to the bed, and then sat down.
My body is still too fat, and although I have strength, I will be tired and panting after a while.
When Qu Tingsheng saw her sit down, he hurriedly sped up and cleaned the house.
Qu Die turned her head to look at the whole room, clasped her hands together and looked here and there, there was no dirty appearance at all, even the shelves were wiped clean by Qu Tingsheng.
"I didn't expect to be able to live with a little cleaning." Qu Tingsheng was very satisfied and felt a little more comfortable.
"By the way," Qu Die handed over the fire fold, "This is what I just found, otherwise what will we do when it gets dark?" ”
Qu Tingsheng hurriedly took it, and only after lighting the fire did he feel a trace of warmth, and the brother and sister sat around the fire, and the disputes during the day had long been left behind.
"We will live here from now on, and we don't have to go back, lest they bully you again." Qu Tingsheng's face was full of worry.
In the future, as long as I go back by myself, otherwise my little sister doesn't know when she will be sold again, and it will be too late to regret it.
Qu Die nodded, "Okay, I won't go back, anyway, there is nothing worth my nostalgia there, and no one will bully me in the future." ”
At this moment, her stomach screamed inappropriately, she hadn't eaten for a day, and besides, she was cleaning the house, and her chest was pressed against her back for a long time.
But how do they eat? Qu Die made a difficulty, is she so hungry until dawn?
Qu Tingsheng was next to his sister, and he clearly heard the cry of Qu Die's stomach, and his face instantly showed embarrassment.
"It's all because my brother has no ability, so I let you suffer like this, and you can't even eat after a day's work."
