Chapter 052 Separate Residence

"See what?" He asked suddenly, not turning his face, but asking in a low voice, with a smile on his lips.

This sudden breaking of the quiet words startled Dong Xiaokui. She immediately turned her face, sat upright, looked at the road that stretched ahead, and muttered, "I didn't see anything." ”

Xu Er only chuckled and said nothing. The car kept moving forward, as if there was no destination at all. Moving forward is the only goal.

Dong Xiaokui didn't ask where he was going, and he didn't care if he had to go to work tomorrow, he just let him lead him forward.

The car finally got out of the highway and turned onto another road, and the speed of the car slowed down a lot. After passing through a few more small towns, I finally came to the town at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain. Dong Xiaokui of this town recognized that some time ago, he often came here to play with Mo Yan, Lianqin, and Xia Keke. Langqin also said that the Taoist priests of Qingcheng Mountain are very effective, and they must go to burn incense and pray sincerely. also said that many Hong Kong and Taiwan celebrities come to Jincheng and will come here to burn incense. As she spoke, she also listed a lot of celebrities.

However, she had never seen the small town of Qingcheng after midnight. The street lights are on, stretching from the entrance of the town into the distance. The doors of the shops on the street are closed, and the classical town gives people a sudden sense of time and space.

Dong Xiaokui thought that Xu Er would stop in Qingcheng Town, but he kept moving forward. The car drove for a while and turned onto a country road. The road conditions are not good, and the car is a little bumpy. He patiently comforted: "Don't be afraid, I'm here." ”

"Hmm." Dong Xiaokui replied. In fact, when he drove, she was not afraid at all, and she had never been afraid. He was the most serious driver she'd ever met.

When he heard her answer, he didn't speak. This time, even the music is not played, and if there is music, it can be eased up with each other. However, it was so quiet that they could hear each other's breathing, making the silence between the two so obvious.

The car was bumpy and bumpy, and finally came to a stop in a small clearing in front of the mountain. In the col ahead, there is a faint light in the shade of the trees.

He got out of the car first, then went around and opened the door, held out his hand to her, and said, "Come, get out." ”

Dong Xiaokui was about to put on gloves, but when he saw his outstretched hand, he hesitated for a moment, but still handed it over. The temperature outside the car was low, and her hand was in his, feeling extra warm.

He squeezed her hand tightly and closed the door. Turn on the flashlight and walk around the bamboo forest path. After a while, I heard the sound of gurgling water, and saw only a wooden door, but only a door frame. Passing through the door frame, there is a path that backs the mountain on one side and winds around the water on the other. After walking for a while, I crossed the small lake and arrived at a small courtyard, and the light just now was the ever-bright light in this courtyard. Under the grapefruit tree, the shadow of the person is faint. Dong Xiaokui looked around, in this mountain col, this small lake is a clear spring flowing down from the mountain, but such a big lake has been chiseled, although the pavilions and pavilions are not gorgeous enough, but there is a classical simplicity in the mountain.

In the end, this area is considered an open area in the mountains, and there is a courtyard next to this courtyard, with a wooden door closed, and the wooden walls, under the reflection of the lights, can vaguely see the bamboo forest flourishing.

And in front, the wooden houses leaning against the hill, are quietly there. It's like the other residence that the god inadvertently left behind in the world.

Xu Er led her, not walking fast, but like a walk, slowly came to the front of the wooden house pavilion, there was a plaque, what was written, the light was not good, and it was not clear to see.

In front of the door of this pavilion, Xu Er finally let go of Dong Xiaokui's hand and took out the key to open the door.

Dong Xiaokui stood behind him, and suddenly felt a little unreal. Is this person who took her hand and led her here?

Xu Er opened the door and turned on the light. Suddenly, a dog barked twice and jumped down the stone steps on the second floor, the kind of soil dog often raised in the countryside, it was fat, and its eyes were almost squinted.

Although Dong Xiaokui took care of Long Feihu for a while, his fear of dogs was not so strong. But as soon as he saw the dog, he instinctively hid behind Xu Er.

Xu Er held her hand at once and scolded the dog: "Meat dumplings." ”

The dog seemed to recognize an acquaintance, barked twice, stopped barking, looked at Xu Er, wagged his tail, turned around and walked up the stone steps, and soon disappeared around the corner.

"It's on the second floor." Xu Er said to Dong Xiaokui.

Dong Xiaokui breathed a sigh of relief and thought to herself: I should have known that Xu Eryang's dog was definitely not the kind without spirituality. However, compared to the dragon flying tiger wings, the name of this dog is refreshing. This is really not Xu Er's style.

"What's that dog called?" Dong Xiaokui let Xu Er take him up the stone steps, and couldn't help but ask him.

"Meat dumplings." Xu Er said very calmly.

"Is that the meat dumpling you ate?" Dong Xiaokui asked.

"Well, those two words." Xu Er replied and went up to the so-called third floor. Then I walked to the end of the left side of the third floor, and there was a stone staircase that went down.

"Your name?" Dong Xiaokui asked. She didn't expect Xu Er to have such a side, she always felt that this man was full of classical charm. If there was no one else around, if he wore the emperor's clothes, it would make her feel that time and space were out of order.

"It's not. This is Uncle Chen's dog. Xu Er replied. While groping around with the side, I turned on the light.

"Who?" Suddenly, the bamboo garden on the other side of the lake with the door closed also turned on the lights, and the voice of an old man came out, full of energy.

"Uncle Chen, it's me." Xu Er replied, not loudly. But it was quiet, but you could hear it clearly.

"Ah, Zhonglin is back, why didn't you call beforehand? I'm not prepared for that. Uncle Chen replied. Then I saw the wooden door open, and a faint figure with a flashlight came this way.

"Uncle Chen, you continue to rest, I'll be fine." Xu Er said.

"It's okay, it's okay. People get old and don't sleep as much. Uncle Chen laughed and stepped upstairs.

Xu Er still held Dong Xiaokui's hand and stood on the stone steps down the third floor, without moving a step, waiting for Uncle Chen there. Dong Xiaokui watched Uncle Chen walk this way, and his legs and feet seemed to be a little inflexible.

Xu Er seemed to be explaining to Dong Xiaokui, he said: "Uncle Chen used to be my uncle's guard, and he saved my father, but his leg was injured. Well, the meat dumplings were his dog, trained in the same way as military dogs. However, it's always a matter of variety, and it's good to be like this now. ”

"Then how do you call meat dumplings?" Dong Xiaokui always felt that since it was trained according to the training method of military dogs, the name should also be mighty.

"Because his wife likes to eat meat dumplings. After his wife passed away, he raised this dog, so he named it Meat Zong. Xu Er said, narrating calmly.

Dong Xiaokui felt shocked, stunned, and was a little envious of Uncle Chen and his wife. Xu Er also whispered: "This kind of feeling is rare. They were the best example of a man who was ten years older than her wife and treated his wife very well. His wife was not in good health, so he insisted that he never had children. ”

Xu Er said slowly, seeing that Chen Bo had already come up from the middle steps of the third floor. He didn't speak, but went up and shouted: "Uncle Chen, I'm fine, just come back and take a rest." You don't have to get up. ”

"It's cold in the mountains, and a charcoal stove is always needed. Besides, the keys to the cellar and kitchen are still with me. Uncle Chen smiled and looked at Dong Xiaokui.

"This is my friend Dong Xiaokui." Xu Er introduced. The positioning is just a friend, Dong Xiaokui is a little disappointed in her heart, but this is the best way, isn't it? At least Xu Er didn't decide what to do on his own.

She greeted her with a smile and said, "Uncle Chen, hello." ”

"Good, good, good." Uncle Chen was very excited, said three "good" words in a row, and then looked at Dong Xiaokui, with a smile on his face, wrinkles accumulated, and he said hehe: "Zhonglin is the first time to bring a friend to me." ”

But there was something wrong with his words. When Dong Xiaokui heard this, she pretended not to know, looked at Xu Er, and said with a smile: "That's an honor." Zhong Lin said that there is a good place to go, take me to see. This is truly a fairyland on earth. ”

"Hehe, surrounded by mountains and rivers, birds and insects, mountain food and wild mushrooms. Wake up in the morning to dance the sword, drink and drink tea at the sunset of the lake. You're right. Uncle Chen chatted casually, which surprised Dong Xiaokui. I didn't expect this simple old man to be elegant.

"Ah, that's a pleasure." Dong Xiaokui was very happy.

"If you like it, come often, I'm not here, you can also come and see Uncle Chen by yourself." Xu Er suddenly interjected.

When Uncle Chen heard this, his eyes narrowed with laughter, and he looked at Dong Xiaokui and said, "Okay." Come here and see my old man when you have time. Well, it's cold. I'll go get some coals, and you go down first. ”

As he spoke, he descended the wooden staircase next to him, turning on the lights all the way. Dong Xiaokui saw that under the wooden stairs, there was another stone path, covered by a few bushes of bamboo, which felt like a winding path.

"Let's go." Xu Er took her hand again and walked down the stone steps until he reached the ground floor. It's the ground floor, but it's the lake. It's just a small building by the lake, and it's all wooden houses.

Xu Er pushed open a wooden house on the side of the lake, which looked like a reception room, with a low wooden square table with clear wooden textures. There was heating in the room, and when the heating was good, she took off her coat and put it on a wooden hanger beside her. The room was covered with carpets and some pillows with classical embroidered masks, and Dong Xiaokui picked up a pillow and sat down, very relaxed. The side of this room facing the lotus pond is a floor-to-ceiling window, and there are octagonal red lanterns lit under the eaves of the verandah outside the house, but the light is not very bright.

Because in winter, the windows can't be opened, Dong Xiaokui can only look at the floor-to-ceiling windows near the lake.

"When you come in the summer, you can open the windows. Uncle Chen will plant lotus flowers in the lake, with green leaves and fragrant fragrance. The moonlight on the lotus pond is not as good as here. Xu Er seemed to see her thoughts, and as he spoke, he opened the door and went out.

Dong Xiaokui let out an "um" and saw him close the door and go out. She felt tired and felt like a dream. He appeared like a dream, and brought her to such a dream-like place. According to the development of popular love stories, the relationship between them should be different, but she obviously feels that they are just friends.

It's so complicated. Dong Xiaokui patted his forehead, the door was pushed open, it was Uncle Chen who brought the stove over, it was the kind of black casserole for stewing dog meat.

"It's cold, eat hot pot." Uncle Chen said that Xu Er also followed behind, carrying some dishes.

Naturally, it is a hot pot, but the other stove pot is a classical utensils for cooking wine. She has seen it in Dong's house, one winter, her grandfather cooked wine once, and also talked about "Cao Cao cooks wine on heroes".

"It's not snowing, and you're going to cook wine?" Dong Xiaokui got up to help.

"Let you taste it. Uncle Chen has good wine here, which is better than the millet wine I have there. Xu Er's face relaxed.

"I knew I couldn't drink, but let me drink." Dong Xiaokui muttered, in the end there was a coquettish tone.

"Your wine—" Xu Er sat down across from her, looking at her.

"What's wrong with my wine?" Dong Xiaokui also looked at him.

"It's not too bad." Xu Er smiled, but he was very childish.

At this moment, Uncle Chen withdrew and said, "Zhonglin, this is your own home, if you want anything, just take it yourself." Uncle Chen is old, and he has to lie down for a while. ”

"Uncle Chen, tomorrow at noon, let's have a few drinks." Xu Erlang said.

In fact, Dong Xiaokui also knew that Uncle Chen walked away under the pretext. When Uncle Chen heard this, he said very happily at the door: "You are not busy this time, then dare to be kind, stay a few more days, and I will be satisfied." ”

"Well, I haven't been busy lately." Xu Er said.

Dong Xiaokui chuckled in his heart, how big did this guy make this time? She has actually seen the recent news, and he shouldn't be such an idle person.

She didn't want to ask him, and she didn't want to get involved. Because once asked, she was afraid that he would say something she couldn't afford. However, at this moment, this question is stuck in her heart.

"Have a drink with me, I'd love to drink." Xu Er supported the table with one hand and warmed the wine with the other, and said casually.

"Okay." Dong Xiaokui said. She felt that tonight, she needed to drink a little too. ......
