CHAPTER IX

009

"Then you are in this room today......" Mei Junxing realized after returning home that because the huge Mei Mansion was the only one by himself, the room that was cleaned up now was only one room where he usually lived, and the other rooms were not able to live in a lot of dust because they had not accumulated a lot of dust for a long time, and at this time, it was not realistic to temporarily clean out a room.

"Oh, where do you live?" Tao Li felt that there was a subtle eerie horror along with the desolation of this big mansion from the moment he came in. It's a little scary to be alone in this room.

"I'm right next door." Mei Junxing raised his finger and pointed to the side, "If there is anything to call me directly, then I will go out first, and you can rest early." ”

"Okay."

After Mei Jun walked, Tao Li began to look at the room carefully, because there was only one oil lamp lit in the room, and the light was very dim, so at first glance, in addition to a bed and two long tables in front of the bed, there were only a few rows of bookshelves behind, and when Tao Li took a closer look at it, he was greatly surprised, and the back of the room that seemed to be narrow and crowded was all densely packed with books, calligraphy and paintings.

Tao Li roughly counted, the back of the bookshelves neatly and neatly there are more than ten rows, in addition to the layers of calligraphy and paintings, there are also strange stones and jade.

"I don't see it, Mei Junxing is still a collector...... "However, since there are so many collections, how can he have such a difficult time himself." Isn't there often that kind of art auction in modern times, just buy a piece for hundreds of thousands, at least enough to eat for several years, is there no one to collect in this era, or are these things actually worthless things?

Although I was curious about the things in this room, and I was a little excited to find the treasure, Tao Li was too tired on this day, so I went into the quilt early and left many questions until tomorrow.

It's just that the next day that Tao Li thought was the next afternoon, to be precise, it was already the afternoon of the next day.

Tao Li was a little embarrassed when he pushed the door open, after all, he dared to sleep so rampantly when he borrowed someone else's house......

Pushing open the door, the sun outside was very big, Tao Li raised his hand to cover the sun, and saw Mei Junxing squatting in front of the door from a distance and was really knocking, Tao Li ran over and patted the landlord on the shoulder.

"What are you doing?"

Mei Junxing glanced up at Tao Li, lowered his head again, thought about it, and pointed to the side with the claw hammer, "Wash at the back of the house, the meal is already heated on the table in the backyard, you can see it when you go over." ”

"Oh."

Tao Li walked to the back of the house, and suddenly there was a feeling of treasure hunting, although the Mei family was a little dilapidated, but such a big house is not everywhere, if it is left now, Mei Junxing is not doing anything, just collecting rent, transferring or buying and selling, it is enough for his own life. Ah, there are so many houses in his house. Tao Li found that the room where she slept last night seemed to be just the hall of the whole house, and the current appearance should be the bedroom that Mei Junxing converted into it, and at the back of the whole hall is a courtyard the size of a volleyball court, in addition to some abandoned rockeries and plants that have become messy after no one has repaired them for a long time, there is also a well and a stone table. Rice and side dishes were already on the stone table, and there was a basin by the well, with a clean face towel and a cup in it.

Tao Li did not rush to eat after washing, but walked around this backyard again, originally thought it was just a single house next to the hall there are two separate small halls, but the house designer pressed the door behind. Tao Li is very strange, and after thinking about it, he was indifferent, maybe it was a local custom, a taboo or something.

However, before eating, Tao Li still felt that he should go and greet the landlord first, although the gentleman may have already eaten. When Tao Li found Mei Junxing again, Mei Junxing was still knocking at the door, Tao Li didn't ask this time, but saw a nest of twittering things at Mei Junxing's feet.

"You took the nest off the door?"

Mei Junxing looked up when he heard the voice, glanced at Tao Li, helpless, "Why don't you run around without combing your hair, uh, the mirror ......"

"Am I just going to do it? That's how women in my hometown comb their hair! "It's not that Tao Li didn't comb her hair, but she didn't coil her hair like the woman here, in fact, Tao Li wanted to coil her hair, but she wouldn't, so she came out early in the morning with a ponytail, which made Mei Junxing misunderstand that she didn't comb it.

"You ......" Mei Junxing stared at Tao Li silently for a while, but he thought about the place where there was such a custom, "Then have you eaten?" ”

"Ah, no, I'm coming to you, let's eat together."

"I've eaten it." Saying that, Mei Junxing lowered her head and knocked on it, and only waved her hand at Tao Li to signal her to retreat.

Tao Li was disliked, looked at Mei Junxing twice, nodded and ran away.

And Mei Junxing, hearing the footsteps getting farther away, glanced at the bird's nest on the ground sadly, "If you had driven your father and mother away, it wouldn't be so troublesome to repair the door now......"

However, Mei Junxing obviously underestimated his ability to cause trouble, and thought that he had gotten rid of Tao Li, but after a while, he actually sat next to him with a bowl and a small bench.

"Don't look at me, who called your family so big, how scared and boring I am alone......"

So you're just bored, aren't you? Mei Junxing paused for a moment and forgot it......

"Huh? Are you repairing a door? That...... Have you ever worked as a carpenter? ”

"Anyway, what are you going to do with this nest of birds? Or...... We roasted this? ”

"Uh...... I was just kidding, they're so cute, eh...... Cute, I can't bear it, then do you have a bird cage at home, I'll put them up, and wait until they are raised......"

"Ahh How did you get your hands on it! Be careful! ”

Tao Li was about to show Mei Junxing a finger, but accidentally met the landlord's steady eyes, what she said last time, the landlord's pupils were very dark, but not very bright, there was a kind of vague depth, at this moment, Tao Li seemed to see other subtle emotions from it, such as......

"That's it! I know! I'll get out! Let's get out! Tao Li didn't forget to complain casually while walking, "People are just a lonely woman, how can anyone care?" Someone is thankful for someone who stutters, how can anyone estimate the nervousness and uneasiness of a lonely little woman when she first arrives......"

On the other side, he was almost named by a certain "someone" who almost accidentally smashed his finger again, and he couldn't understand what he was trying to do so hard to repair for the white-eyed wolf who came to grind himself!

Of course, don't talk about this, after Tao Li came, there were still some other things for Mei Junxing, who had been alone...... Well, for example, my life is finally not as quiet, comfortable, and comfortable as it used to be......

However, in addition to Mei Junxing's stuffy gourd is a bit boring, in general, he is really a good person, since he came to Mei's house, Mei Junxing has successively added a special toilet for Tao Li, a large bath for Tao Li, and a special bowl, chopsticks and spoon for Tao Li...... And Mei Junxing finally moved his room to a small room at the back of the backyard, and Tao Li owned the entire hall and the front hall that originally belonged to Mei Junxing, and the backyard belonged to a public location, which the two shared.

Mei Junxing didn't have anything to do with this, but he was a little tired when he cleaned up some of the rooms, but fortunately, Tao Li would also help, such as handing himself a broom or something, and besides, the Mei family has a lot of rooms, and I don't care about one or two halls in the front hall.

It's just that Tao Li is a little dissatisfied, although the hall is very large, but they are all books and pictures that they can't understand, there are a few things like antiques, and it's just a decoration for this era, and for the large area of no man's land behind the entire Mei Mansion, Tao Li is of great interest.
