Chapter 256: Charcoal
Facing Ah Fang's firm eyes, Ye Wen's heart jumped.
In this way, he has legal status.
No matter why this man named Ah Hu died, no matter why Ah Fang needed him to carry the bag, as long as he took the identity of this person, they would not dare to send him out again, but would help him hide the identity of other animals as much as possible.
In this way, at least you can buy a certain amount of time and regain the ability to protect yourself.
It's just in time for rain.
But...... I know too little about the current era, so wouldn't I be too cautious to agree like this? Who knows if there is a pit waiting for him behind this.
Ye Wen lowered his eyes and looked at the corpse named Ah Hu.
So far, he has only seen three people of this era, and this corpse is the third, all of which have one characteristic, that is, old age.
The two children of the man in front of him are not adults, so he himself will not be much older, but if you look at his face, before the end of the world, someone can believe it when he is fifty years old.
Like Ah Fang and Ah Fang's mother, his skin was tanned. Compared with him, Ye Wen's body has been the same as in a black hole for more than ten years.
Fortunately, the height of the two is about the same, Ye Wenneng is a little taller, if he really wants to pretend to be Ah Hu, he should be able to pass the test by pretending to be Luoguo. Although Ah Hu's skeleton is stronger than Ye Wen's, it is malnourished, so the difference in size between the two is not so big.
All in all, being able to install is being able to install, that is, the difficulty coefficient is not small.
"Please."
Alfang said. "Neither of Ah Hu's children is an adult. Now that Ah Hu is dead, his family has no labor force and must be sent to the farm. You're the only one who can save them. ”
"You mean that as long as there is no labor in the family, they will be sent to the farm to be used as human animals?" Ye Wen asked.
This is new information.
So the family that has lost the man, no matter what means is used, must find another man?
"Can't Ah Hu's woman remarry?" Ye Wen asked.
It's not that he doesn't want to seize this opportunity, it's just that he is really strange, if there is a better solution, why does the Arab side have to take risks?
After all, he is Ye Wen, not Ah Hu, and he has the identity of a suspected human animal, which is even more eye-catching. If someone in the village sees a clue of a good thing, won't he report him?
He didn't even dare to fully trust Ah Fang, the person who had saved his life, let alone the rest of the village. Don't forget, until now, the Alfang family has hidden the fact that there is a big living person in the family.
Fang shook his head. "Even if Ah Hu's wife can remarry, her children will be sent away."
I see.
Ye Wen was about to speak, when there was a sudden knock on the door outside the door.
Ah Fang hesitated, but walked to the door. After glancing through the crack in the door, he quickly pulled the deadbolt open.
A man on crutches walked into the door panting, and asked Ah Fang, "What did you say?" ”
Ah Fang glanced at Ye Wen with some embarrassment, closed the door and introduced to Ye Wen: "This is my father, and I am also the head of our village. ”
Ye Wen bowed his head and looked at the man in front of him.
To be honest, this man gave him a bit of a strange feeling. The straight back, the straight waist, and the gray hair and the old face are matched with a subtle sense of incongruity.
But even though his face was old and haggard, his hair was neatly combed, and his beard was carefully shaved. The clothes were in tatters, but the owner of the clothes could be seen trying to keep his clothes clean.
"You don't have a choice. If you don't, we'll report your presence today. Ah Fang's father said with a scowl in his face. Ah Fang wanted to refute on the side, but was stopped by him with a look.
Is that really the case?
Then he really doesn't have a choice.
Although this old man's attitude made Ye Wen very uncomfortable, Ye Wen still bowed his head with kindness: "Declare in advance that I will not do farm work." ”
Ah Fang's father waved his hand: "You don't have to worry about this, let Ah Hu and her wife bear the tax burden, and we will find a way to make up for it if it is not enough." You don't have to worry about it. ”
Ye Wen couldn't help laughing: "So I just need to lie on the bed, stretch out my hand to eat and open my mouth?" ”
"That's right." Ah Fang's father was categorical, "Quickly take off Ah Hu's clothes and put them on him, and then find some mud to cover his little white face." ”
The latter sentence is addressed to Alfon. So Ah Fang finally had a chance to refute: "This won't work, Abba, you will see it when you come up and check." Once or twice, we can still use Ah Hu's illness to fool the past, but can't it always be like this? Ah Hu's eldest son is only six years old, and he is still early to adulthood! ”
"We'll talk about it then." Ah Fang's father said, turning around and limping towards the door, "Hurry up." If you delay it for a long time, be careful that others will see him. ”
"I don't think that's going to work, either." Ye Wen said, "What does Ah Hu usually do? Only farming? Do you have any side hustles in your village that I can do? ”
He didn't want to lie on the bed and wait to die, and the quality of the food here really didn't make him have any desire to eat and drink, so at least it would be inconvenient for him to recover his abilities. Life is in motion, this is true.
Don't really become a brute one day, when others come to catch him with kitchen knives, he can't even run.
Ah Fang's father sneered: "Carrying water and chopping firewood, what can you do?" ”
Tsk, I'm underestimated.
Ye Wen smiled, didn't refute, and changed the topic: "I don't know if you have torches and charcoal here?" ”
"What are you going to do?"
"There's something to deal with in order to pretend to be a little bit." Ye Wen said lightly, "If you don't have it, you can use a knife to shave, but it's easy to get infected, and I have to ask you for something that can reduce inflammation." ”
Ah Fang's father's eyes flashed, and he instructed Ah Fang beside him: "Go find some charcoal and light it for him." ”
"What do you want charcoal for, there is only a little bit of it at home, and you have to keep it for the winter." Alfang said.
Ah Fang's father glared: "If you want to go, you will go." ”
Ah Fang had no choice but to go, and soon came back, carrying a small charcoal basin, in which two pieces of charcoal were placed in a particularly shabby manner, which were no longer than a finger's length, and had already been lit.
Ah Fang's father didn't leave, moved a stool and sat far away, his crutches and horizontal knife immediately erected in front of him, glaring at Ye Wen.
Ye Wen couldn't help but laugh: "What do you mean by this?" Afraid that I will not succeed if I steal these two pieces of charcoal? ”
"Charcoal is expensive." Ah Fang's father was concise, and then raised his chin and nodded Ah Fang: "You, go." ”
"Abba!"
"Let's go!"
"You don't have to do this, I don't want to swallow charcoal, and I won't irritate Ah Fang." After Ye Wen finished speaking, he said to Ah Fang, "If it's convenient, can you help me find a mirror again?" Or something else that can reflect the shadow. ”
Ah Fang looked at Ye Wen, then at his father, stomped his feet, and could only turn out a round piece of iron that was less than the size of a palm, handed it to Ye Wen and left the mud room.
Ye Wen lifted the small mirror and looked at his face.
Sure enough, he is at least three points similar to his real appearance.
Does the original owner of this body also have anything to do with "Ye Wen"?
Linked to the abnormal attitude of the Albanian side towards "Ye Wen", Ye Wen's ominous premonition in his heart was even worse, and his will was a little firmer.
He picked up a pair of chopsticks from the small table beside him, reached into the charcoal basin, and picked up a piece of burning charcoal. The other hand is always holding the mirror to make sure he can see his face.
He then pressed the charcoal to his face.
