Chapter 346: Settled Households
Meng Qigu smiled indifferently, but the bottom of his smiling eyes sank a little. Turning his head to look at Si Boyan, he remembered that the question asked by Si Boyan just now had not been answered.
"I'm sorry. There are a lot of powerful and weird bugs in our Chuancao Village, I don't know which one the little brother is talking about? ”
Si Boyan saw that Meng Qigu didn't seem to mind talking about this topic, so he tentatively continued to ask.
"I've heard that it's a worm that gets weird when it's bitten."
Meng Qigu frowned, a little embarrassed: "Don't hide it from the little brother, there are quite a lot of such bugs." And they are already common diseases for us, and they are all strange diseases to outsiders. Little brother don't worry, as long as you live here, big brother, I will definitely guarantee that you don't have any problems. ”
I don't know if Meng Qigu is deliberately concealing it, but it seems that it is not a simple matter to ask him about the strange insect and the plague situation in this village.
"Of course, if a few visitors are going to the mountains, then I can't guarantee that something will happen to you. After all, no one in our village, except for the doctor, would go into the mountain. ”
Meng Qigu finally added, as if he wanted to make it clear who was responsible. After saying this, Si Boyan was not allowed to continue to inquire about the ancestral hall, Meng Qigu looked at Yu Dan again and moved to a new topic.
"By the way, I think this little brother seems to be injured, do you need me to find a doctor to take a look?"
Yu Shan glanced at the bandage on his arm, couldn't help sneezing, rubbed his somewhat drowsy head, shook his head and said, "No need, I've already taken medicine, there's no problem." ”
"Speaking of which, Brother Meng, are there any other mountain and forest bandits here?" Chang Le suddenly interjected, with a dissatisfied face.
The others didn't understand what Chang Le was going to say, Meng Qigu chuckled in his heart and asked, "Why would my sister say that?" ”
"When we arrived in the forest outside the village, we were resting, when a man suddenly rushed out, grabbed Yu Gongzi's burden and ran. Before Yu Gongzi could snatch it back, he was scratched by him. The man was still a thief and looked very strong in martial arts. ”
Meng Qigu kept beating the drums in his heart, smiled reluctantly, and said, "Really? I don't know, and I haven't heard of any bandits or anything near our village. ”
Si Boyan said that the four of them understood what Chang Le was going to do, and she was giving Meng Qigu a vaccination, so that the villagers would not suspect them when they saw the corpses of the villagers in the forest. After all, Yu Dan's knife wound is quite obvious.
Si Boyan looked at Chang Le and showed a little approval. He forgot about it for a while.
Yu Dan's eyes turned, staring at Chang Le and not knowing what he was thinking.
Chang Le didn't care about their situation, he only cared about dealing with Meng Qigu, and when he heard him say this, he sighed with emotion.
"Well, it's only when we suffer a dumb loss. However, Brother Meng, you also have to be careful, I think that person is very fierce, and he will kill people if he can't grab anything. ”
"Well, thank you for reminding me."
Meng Qigu nodded hurriedly, sneered twice, and changed the topic again.
"By the way, there's something I'd like to tell you. We are all private households, and there are usually no outsiders coming, so there will be no extra rooms in each house. Our house is quite large, and we can pack three rooms, so we need to squeeze in. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions hesitated for a moment.
Chang Le looked around, it stands to reason that Si Boyan, as the emperor, has to ask for a separate room. As an outsider, it is not appropriate to squeeze with Wuze, and you should also ask for a separate room. It's just where to sleep, it's a question.
When everyone's eyes were secretly looking at how to divide the room, Chang Le was the first to speak.
"I'll sleep in the same room with Shili."
Two girls sleep, yes.
"Childe sleeps in one room, and Childe sleeps in another."
Everyone was silent, secretly feeling that this would have been no problem, but in this way, there was one more person. Everyone's eyes fell on Wuze silently.
Chang Le smiled: "Wu Ze will be wronged and sleep on the floor in our room." ”
Except for Chang Le himself, everyone was stunned for a moment, thinking that they had heard it wrong. What is it that a man and a woman have sex with?
Shili's face turned red, and he grabbed Chang Le's arm directly to show his protest.
Wu Ze said before everyone spoke: "I sleep in the carriage." ”
"The carriage is leaking, and it is cold to sleep alone." Chang Le immediately brainwashed Wuze, "When you go out, don't care about some small details." Besides, you haven't been in my room to spy on me while I'm asleep, and you don't mind the difference between men and women. ”
For boys and girls sleeping in the same room, Chang Le doesn't think there's anything wrong with it. When she went out to be a volunteer in college, and when she stayed up late in the school organization to plan and prepare for activities, wasn't it all because of environmental time constraints, boys and girls slept directly in the same room, or even in a bunch?
Moreover, in this ancient period, isn't there also a saying about Megumi Yanashita?
Chang Le is convincing himself, but others do not mean that they can understand and accept.
Si Boyan and their other onlookers just smacked their tongues, feeling that Chang Le's thoughts were different from ordinary people, and they were trying to test on the edge of the dipping pig cage.
What is fame for Changle? Can you eat it?
Wuze's embarrassment overflowed on his face, and he wanted to refute it, but because what she said was the truth, he couldn't refute it with confidence.
After Chang Le woke up, Zhang Changxiu felt that something was wrong with her, and did ask Wuze to investigate a few times. This is monitored from morning to night, and it is also to complete the task, and he didn't mean it, did he?
Chang Le saw that Wuze did not refute, his face sank, and he pointed to his nose and questioned.
"Okay, Wuze, did you sneak into my room while I was asleep?"
Wu Ze suddenly reacted to something, and immediately defended: "No, no." ”
"You're stammering, and you still say no?" Chang Le originally just casually made a reason to cheat Wuze casually, but he didn't expect such a thing, "Who made you do this?" Isn't it Zhang Changxiu? ”
Wuze didn't know how to answer, but when Si Boyan saw this, he immediately came out to play a round.
"Wuze will sleep in the same room with me. Brother Meng, take us to see where we live. ”
"Hey, okay. Come with me. ”
Meng Qigu also saw that Chang Le's toughness and unusualness were unusual, so he hurriedly changed the topic and stood up in a hurry.
The three houses in which they lived were on the right side of the courtyard, side by side, and as they went, several women came out of their rooms, apparently to clean them up.
Chang Le and the others casually greeted the women, and the women said goodbye with a smile.
The allocation of rooms is very straightforward, Si Boyan's room is in the middle, Changle and Shili are on the left, and Yu Dan's is on the right. Meng Qigu asked them to rest a little and call them when the meal was ready.
Their room was not as warm as the hall just now, and the room was not big, with a bed, a dresser, and a wardrobe, and there was no extra furniture. However, the bed cushion is thick and relatively warm.
As long as the bed is warm enough, Changle is very satisfied.
Shili checked all parts of the room to see if there were any problems.
After confirming, Shili arrived at the bedside and picked up the cloak that Chang Le had casually placed on the bed.
"Ah Chang, be careful with the chain, don't lose it here."
"yes, got it."
Chang Le sat cross-legged on the bed, looking at Shili hanging the cloak on the wooden shelf next to him, knowing that she was making herself wary of this Meng couple. The couple looked enthusiastic, but there were some problems at first glance, especially the eyes that had just stared at her ruby, greedy to the point of glowing.
"Ah Chang, I'll go to the carriage and get my clothes, and you can rest here for a while."
Shili said, and went out of the room, and the sound of Meng Qigu greeting Shili sounded outside.
Chang Le looked around the room, and he was not very tired at this time, so he put on his boots and went out. There was a gust of cold wind in front of him, and Chang Le gasped and shrunk his neck.
In the courtyard, Meng Qigu was fetching water by the well, and Sister-in-law Ying was squatting in front of the kitchen to pick vegetables. Chang Le walked straight towards Sister-in-law Ying.
"Oh, why did you come out, girl? Let's go back to my room and rest. Sister-in-law Ying saw Chang Le from afar and immediately greeted her.
Sister-in-law Ying is still relatively delicate, and she looks like an ordinary virtuous daughter-in-law, similar to her aunts and aunts in modern times.
"I'm not very tired, so I'll just go out for a walk."
Chang Le squatted directly opposite Sister-in-law Ying and looked at what dishes had been prepared.
I saw that there were several different kinds of greens in the pot, as well as radishes, and some pickled sauerkraut. Very common dish.
"I'm just idle, can I give you a shot?"
Sister-in-law Ying hurriedly waved her hand: "Alas, where can you do it as a guest?" If you're bored, just watch. ”
"Sister, you're squatting outside, are you really not afraid of freezing?"
Meng Qigu came over with water, and poured the water into a wooden basin in front of Sister-in-law Ying as he spoke. Because the action is too big, there are splashes everywhere. Chang Le and Sister-in-law Ying both hid backwards in unison.
"Foolish, can't you pour water lightly?" Sister-in-law Ying blamed dissatisfiedly.
Meng Qigu smiled disapprerovingly: "How light can this pour water be?" ”
Sister-in-law Ying pursed the corners of her mouth and waved her hand: "Hurry up and chop firewood!" ”
"Okay."
Meng Qigu carried the bucket into the kitchen, and there was immediately a loud pouring sound from inside.
Chang Le squatted, resting his hands on his knees, obediently looking at the bickering of the husband and wife, and couldn't help but feel a little envious. This kind of silent sprinkling of dog food is the most unbearable for a single dog like her.
"Sister-in-law Ying, you and Brother Meng have a really good relationship." Chang Le looked at Sister-in-law Ying with a smile and sighed.
Sister-in-law Ying lowered her head shyly, and her subordinates' movements of picking vegetables became more neat.
"What's good there? It's all old husbands and wives. ”
Chang Le watched Sister-in-law Ying throw the vegetable stalks into the water basin, threw the vegetable leaves into the dustpan, smiled happily, pointed to the vegetable stalks in the basin and said, "Sister-in-law Ying, you threw it backwards." ”
Sister-in-law Ying said "ah", quickly picked up the vegetable leaves and threw them into the water basin, scooped up the vegetable stalks and threw them into the dustpan.
Chang Le felt that Sister-in-law's small actions were a little cute, and looked up to find Meng Qigu coming out.
Meng Qigu went straight to the pyre, rolled up his sleeves, picked up the axe on the stake, bent down and took a thick log and put it on the stake.
