Chapter 8 Serving Food
The old ruffian's face showed an expression of careful recollection, he was thrown on his heel as soon as he woke up just now, and he was a little nervous, and he really couldn't remember what the third master said, so he said: "Dude, I really can't remember, what did the third master say?" ”
I felt really powerless to complain, so I had to roll my eyes and say to the old ruffian: "How did I shoot you and call you just now, you just didn't wake up, but the third master shouted and found the treasure, there are countless treasures, you guy sat up from the car in a flash." ”
The old ruffian coughed embarrassedly when he heard the words, and remembered Qin Zheng's previous words, and suddenly showed an ecstatic expression on his face, originally thinking that looking for a hidden treasure was like looking for a needle in a haystack, but now it really became a no-brainer, as long as the third master was done, everything would be fine.
I finished talking to the old ruffian about the current situation and tasks, and at this time I was almost resting, and called the old ruffian to stand up and walk up the slope, just now the situation was tense and I always felt that the slope was a little too steep, and now I walked up leisurely, and I really felt that the slope was still relatively gentle.
The two of them had already walked to the dam in a few minutes, and they could see from a distance that the third master was waiting for them with a donkey cart at this time, and the old ruffian saw it and said: "I didn't help the third master in vain just now, I thought that this old fritter might sneak away while we were not there, but I didn't expect him to be really honestly waiting for the two of us." “
I also looked at it when I heard the words, and the third master was smoking a cigarette next to the donkey cart calmly, and he didn't have the slightest intention of leaving, and said to the old ruffian: "As the saying goes, it's easy to go uphill and difficult to go downhill, just now when we came up, it was dangerous, although there was a factor that we added weight to the car, but if we can't keep it downhill, there will be any moths, and we don't dare to take risks now." “
The old ruffian was stunned for a moment, and said: "So that's the case, it really moved me in vain, this old boy's abacus jingled." “
"There is another reason, it may also be that the third master has begun to be restless now, and wants to probe the bottom of the two of us, and go to find Chen Ping's treasure in the future, if this is the case, we will find a chance to have a showdown with him, and if you want to regret it when you get on a boat, it will be too late." When I saw the cigarette in the third master's hand, I remembered this possibility again.
While talking, the two had already walked to the dam, and the third master saw Qin Zheng and the old ruffian coming over to talk: "Thank you so much just now, two old brothers, otherwise this old brother would have to be tossed and scattered." “
The old ruffian waved his hand and said: "This little thing is no problem for our brothers, you don't have to think that our brothers will save your life today, and you will have to repay the favor or something in the future." “
The third master was also stunned when he heard the old ruffian's words, obviously he didn't expect the old ruffian to say such a clear reminder, he laughed a few times, and then said again: "It's not too early, and I have to trouble the two old brothers to pull the car when they go downhill, I lead the donkey in front, and it's not far down the slope to Kongzhuang, where we can rest." “
Without further ado, the old ruffian and I dragged the cart on both sides of the donkey cart, the third master led the donkey, and the three of them drove the donkey cart downhill slowly. Although it is more dangerous to go downhill than uphill, and it is easy to lose control if you are not careful, but fortunately, this time all three of them are prepared for the middle point in advance, and there is no danger in general.
When I went downhill, I, the old ruffian and the third master got on the donkey cart again, and the old ruffian took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket and opened it, and handed it to Qin Zheng and the third master respectively.
As soon as a cigarette was smoked, the donkey cart had already arrived outside Kongzhuang Village, and from a distance it looked like all the brick houses were all the same, and there was a threshing floor about the size of more than one acre at the head of the village.
The old ruffian and I hadn't eaten for a day, and after a day of tossing, our stomachs were already rumbling with hunger, and at this time, I smelled the smell of rice and felt even more hungry.
The donkey cart had already entered the village, and the old ruffian couldn't help but ask the third master: "Third master, is the mill of the old grandson's family far away?" Don't be in a hurry to unload the goods when you get there, and give me a cushion to eat first. ”
When the third master heard this, he drove the donkey cart around again, and said: "Not far ahead is the mill of Lao Sun's family, according to what you said, the three of us will eat and rest first, and it will not be too late to unload tomorrow morning." ”
I patted the old ruffian lightly from behind, the two looked at each other, Qin Zheng pointed to the inner pocket of the old ruffian's clothes, and motioned for him to take the money to buy something delicious later, and the old ruffian nodded knowingly.
The donkey cart stopped at the gate of a courtyard, and the third master got down from the donkey cart and said, "This is the mill of Lao Sun's family, he already knew about it before I came, and he left it for dinner." As he spoke, an old man in his sixties came out of the courtyard, and when he saw the third master, he greeted him.
I got out of the car with the old ruffian, and the third master introduced each other, the old man was the owner of the mill, the old grandson, who was waiting for the third master to pull the goods over, and at this time, he led the donkey cart to the carport with the third master, turned around and said to Qin Zheng and the old ruffian: "The two little brothers haven't eaten yet, come into the house to eat some steamed buns and drink some soup, and have a good rest." ”
The four of them entered the room and sat in a circle around the table in the order of the eldest and youngest guests, I looked at the table, there was only a stack of pickles, a plate of peanuts, six or seven big steamed buns and a pot of soup, which was naturally nothing if they were usually eaten at home, and now Qin Zheng and the old ruffian have the heart to make the third master yearn for a good life, and this meal is a little out of specification.
So Qin Zheng opened his mouth and asked the old grandson: "Old Sun, is there any wine and food sold in our village, our brothers and sisters have asked the third master to help take care of them along the way, and I want to buy some wine and food to thank you." “
The old grandson listened to Qin Zheng's words, nodded again and again and praised the two of them for understanding the Entu newspaper, and told the old ruffian a few twists and turns, but he didn't understand too much when he saw the old ruffian, so he simply took the old ruffian to buy it in person.
The third master looked a little unnatural on the side, others didn't know if he could still know, what kind of messy words to buy wine and food to thank him were all excuses, in fact, Qin Zheng and the old ruffian wanted to eat something delicious, so that he knew how to live a rich life.
The old ruffian and the old grandson went out, and I was left with the third master and the third master in the house, and I said: "Third master, I haven't eaten decent wine and food for a long time, and you can eat more when the old ruffian buys it back, and I will rely on you a lot in the future." “
The third master laughed when he heard this, and said: "You two brothers are young and strong, what can I rely on as a bad old man." ”
