Chapter Seventy-Seven: A Visitor from Far Away
"Don't practice calligraphy today, don't panic at home recently, go to the back mountain to relax, brother, don't worry, I'll be back in a while."
Zhang Ruyu replied with a smile, no longer looked at Zhang Guangye under the eaves of the porch, put down the broom, entered the storage room on the wall next to the stove, and began to prepare for going up the mountain.
The first thing to prepare is to carry a basket and a sickle, and you also need to find a branch suitable for crutches, which can be used to scare snakes and crutches, killing two birds with one stone.
This storage room of the Zhang family is not so much a storage room as a firewood room, and all the firewood that the family needs all winter is neatly stacked in this room.
The whole room is about 10 square meters, and most of it is full, which is the credit of the original owner and Zhang Guangye.
There are small branches she picked up at the bottom of the mountain, and there are also big tree trunks that Zhang Guangye specially went up the mountain to cut, but whether it is a small branch or a large trunk, they are all made into similar lengths and placed in the house, all the way to the roof of this house.
The remaining unfilled space is the real storage room, where the hoes, sickles, and things like the baskets that Zhang Ruyu carries on weekdays are all placed here.
Some of the wood that Zhang Guangye got back that could be used to make furniture was also placed here.
After getting the sickle and the back basket, Zhang Ruyu returned to the courtyard, and Zhang Guangye was already rinsing his mouth at the courtyard wall next to the stove.
"Ang, grunt, grunt, puff" Zhang Guangye raised his neck and rinsed for a while, turned his head to spit out the light salt water in his mouth, and turned his head to look at Zhang Ruyu.
"Really want to go? Then I'll go with you. ”
"No need, I'll go by myself, the injuries on your body are not suitable for moving around, take care of them at home, I'll be back in a while."
Zhang Ruyu put the back basket and sickle on the side of the courtyard gate, and then went to the firewood stack outside the stove to find a handy thick branch, rubbed it back and forth in his hand for a while, confirmed that there was no barb cutting hand, and put it into the courtyard gate.
"What do you want to do, why are you arguing so early in the morning, I don't know if your father needs to recuperate?"
Huang opened the door and walked out with a straight face, glaring at Zhang Ruyu, very angry and dissatisfied.
Zhang Ruyu smiled back at her, pointed to the sun in the sky and said, "Mother, it's daytime, and if you want to recuperate, you won't stop us from talking, even if you get up, then you can have breakfast, after eating, my father can take medicine, isn't it." ”
After speaking, Zhang Ruyu plunged into the stove and left the battlefield in the courtyard.
The Huang family and Zhang Guangye in the courtyard saw that Zhang Ruyu had slipped away, the mother and son glanced at each other, and went to do their own things.
It's noisy every day, it's noisy every day, she can't stand it, if she can't make noise, Zhang Ruyu is naturally very satisfied.
This breakfast, did Zhang Bang show up, the mother and son ate on the stone table in the courtyard.
After breakfast, Zhang Ruyu packed up the dishes and chopsticks, said hello to his father and brother in the house, put on his back basket, took a branch, and turned out the door.
But before she could go down the steps, she saw the fast horse coming towards her house in the distance, and immediately retreated to the courtyard, and closed the courtyard door with a filiation.
"Why did the little sister come back? Is something missing? ”
Zhang Guangye stood in the courtyard, simply stretched out his arms and bent over, as today's exercise.
He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and now that he is injured and is not suitable for strenuous exercise, he can only do something simple, stretch out his hand, bend over, and it will not cause any burden to his leg injury.
"Someone is coming, coming on horseback, obviously not good, what should I do?"
Zhang Ruyu looked at Zhang Guangye nervously, she didn't know why, she felt at a glance that those people were not good, which was not a good thing.
"Really? Then you go into the house, hurry up, close the door, I didn't call you, don't come out. ”
As soon as Zhang Guangye heard Zhang Ruyu's words, he immediately put away his redundant movements and slowly walked towards the gate.
Walking in front of Zhang Ruyu, he didn't forget to push Zhang Ruyu, "Be obedient, go into the house and stay, I don't call, don't come out, and don't open the door." ”
"What's wrong?" Huang, who was in the room, heard the voices of the brother and sister and walked out.
"Mother, someone has come to our house, there are still a lot of people on horseback, are you looking for your father to ask for an account?"
Zhang Ruyu didn't forget that Zhang Bang had the creditor that those fox moon dog friends said yesterday. Someone came early in the morning for no reason, except for them, she couldn't think of who else could it be if it wasn't him.
"Do you know right away, Guangye will open the door, Ruyu will help your father out, and neither of you will be allowed to intervene for a while."
Huang straightened the clothes on his body, looked at Zhang Guangye and Zhang Ruyu respectively, and after assigning the task to the brother and sister, they had already come to the gate.
Seeing that she was so calm, the tension in her heart disappeared all of a sudden, and "Duoduoduo" entered the right room of the main room in a few steps.
In the room, Zhang Bangyou had already sat on the edge of the pit, and was busy buttoning his robe.
"Here, help me put my shoes on." Zhang Bangyou looked at the shoes that were far away from the door and said to Zhang Ruyu.
Zhang Ruyu obediently picked up a pair of black cloth shoes, walked up to him, half-squatted down, carefully put on shoes for him, and helped him stand up.
At this time, the sound of people and horses had already heard at the gate of the courtyard, and the father and daughter glanced at each other, and the movements under their feet were three points faster.
As soon as he walked to the door of the house, a man's "haha" sound had already reached the ears of the two, and soon a bearded man held a horsewhip in his right hand and slapped his left hand, leading a group of men into the courtyard of Zhang's house.
"Chapter 3, I heard that you were injured, how about you come to see you? Seriously injured? Can't die, right? Can't die, brother, and you, shouldn't the account be settled? “
As soon as the bearded man entered the courtyard gate, he didn't give the Huang family and Zhang Guangye at the door a chance to talk, with one look, a few entourages on the left and right separated the mother and son.
And he walked directly towards the eaves of the corridor where Zhang Bangyou and Zhang Ruyu were.
There is no need for Zhang Bangyou to say, Zhang Ruyu has already guessed who he is.
This person is none other than the boss Zhu of the Cao Gang and the creditor of Zhang Bang.
Sure enough, when the bearded man looked at Zhang Ruyu with a lustful smile, Zhang Bangyou's reflection confirmed her guess.
"Master Zhu, why are you here, it's really a rare guest, come, come, go and sit in the courtyard for a while, let's talk about something slowly."
Zhang Bangyou gently pushed Zhang Ruyu down, blocked her behind her, and whispered to her, "Stay in the house, don't come out if it's okay." ”
"Don't worry, chapter three, don't introduce me, this is Ling Ai? I really didn't see it, you kid still has such a beautiful girl, it's really blessed. How old is the girl? Why do you look like this? Are you going out? Come, Uncle Sheng, how about Uncle take you into town to buy beautiful clothes and jewelry? ”
Boss Zhu's tone of abducting an ignorant girl, coupled with his two-color eyes, made Zhang Ruyu's hands itch, and he wanted to slap him twice.
