Chapter 755: The Cottage
The four of them soon came to the outside of the fence of the cabin.
The fenced yard was overgrown with wild flowers and weeds, and it didn't look like a human at all, and under the eaves on one side of the wooden house, a wooden shelter was built, and under the canopy, there was a large pile of firewood, and the door of the wooden house was also locked.
"Is there anyone?" Yan Liqiang shouted twice outside the fence, and when he found that there was no one here, he pretended to be overdone and looked at Concubine Rui and the others, "The master here is probably not here, let's save it and go in directly!"
"Lord Yan, there should be no one here, it is estimated that this wooden house was built by the medicine pickers who went up the mountain, those medicine pickers stayed on the mountain for a long time in autumn and winter, and some simply built a wooden house on the mountain, which can be convenient to live in the wooden house when collecting medicine!" Look at those grasses, those grasses are hexagonal fennels, those are sword wormwood, these grasses are insect proof, someone should have deliberately scattered the seeds here to grow, if my guess is right, there should be bear dung next to the wooden house, and there is realgar in the wooden house, these are the things that the herb pickers will arrange when they live in the mountains, with these things, ordinary snakes, insects and beasts will not come!"
"Hahaha, Concubine Rui's eyes are like torches, this should be where those medicine pickers live, let's borrow it first!" Yan Liqiang laughed, and just after crossing the fence and walking into the courtyard, Yan Liqiang had already seen a pile of bear dung piled up next to the two stones next to the door of the hut.
When he came to the wooden house, Yan Liqiang stretched out his hand and twisted the ordinary copper lock hanging on the wooden house, he pushed open the door and was the first to walk in.
The wooden house is not big, it is fifty or sixty square meters, the things in it are also very simple, everything is almost wood, a few stump-like things should be stools, the slightly larger stump should be the table, there are three simple wooden beds in the wooden house, one large and two small, the bed is also covered with a thick layer of grass, there is a fire pit in the middle of the wooden house, and there is an iron frame and a pot piled on the fire pit.
Sure enough, as Concubine Rui guessed, in the corner of this wooden house, Yan Liqiang also saw a few small cloth bags with realgar, and some realgar was also sprinkled on the corner of the wooden house.
In addition, there are two triangular wooden shelves more than one meter high and a simple wooden box, and in the wooden box, some linen rope and barrels are placed.
It seems that it has been uninhabited for months, and there is dust everywhere.
Of course, there are no windows in this wooden house, but fortunately, in broad daylight, as soon as the door is opened and the sunlight comes in, the whole room is full of light, although this place is simple, but it is the best place that Yan Liqiang can find at this time.
"Let's settle here for the time being, in this wilderness, I guess we can't find a better place than here for the time being!" Yan Liqiang inspected the wooden house, and then said to the three women.
The three women looked at it and nodded, Concubine Duan actually seemed very excited, look here, look where, and finally came to the two triangular wooden frames, "Hey, sister, what are these two wooden frames in this house for?"
"This wooden rack should be a place to dry herbs such as wisteria mushrooms, after those herbs are picked, they can't be thrown and put on the ground casually, they must be dried on a wooden rack, and slowly dried with fire in this house!" Concubine Rui smiled and glanced around at the cabin, "Although this place is simple, if you take care of it, you can live in it!"
"Well, then I'll light the fire first, and you can dry your clothes first......" Seeing that there was still a fire sickle hanging next to the fire pit, Yan Liqiang immediately got busy, went to the outside of the wooden house to find some dry pine hair and firewood, and started to make a fire in the fire pit of the wooden house.
And the three women, Concubine Rui, Concubine Duan and Concubine Yi, found some tools in the pile of miscellaneous items in the house with great interest, and began to take care of this small wooden house, next to this wooden house, there is another stream, easy to get water, although the three women are in the palace with fine clothes and food, everything is served, but at this time, they are not squeamish, but seem to find it very interesting.
Just like Concubine Yi, she thought that the thick and soft grass mat on the wooden bed was very interesting, and when she was cleaning the wooden bed in the house, she actually asked Concubine Rui strangely, "Sister Rui, the cushion on this bed is soft and thick, what is it made of?"
"It's a weed!"
Concubine Yi asked curiously, "Ah, I feel that this thing is very good, it is soft and thick, and it is breathable, why is there no one in the palace, is this thing very expensive?"
Concubine Rui was amused by her, "If this is used in the palace, Your Majesty must cut off the head of the eunuch!"
"Why?"
Concubine Duan covered her mouth and chuckled, "My sister was born in a rich family since she was a child, and she may never have seen a bed made of straw, this thing will only be used in the homes of the poor people, just because it is cheap, and even you can spend a penny, you can cut the grass and beat it and dry it and weave it together, it is better than a straw mat, and it is also durable, and it is not easy to get wet, so it is thrown in this wooden house in the mountains!"
It didn't take long for Yan Liqiang to burn the fire in the firepit, and he brought in a little firewood from the outside, and soon, the whole wooden house was flickering, and it was warm all of a sudden, and at this time, the three women had already cleaned the wooden house roughly, and it looked much cleaner and fresher, at least there was not so much dust.
"A few girls, you guys just bake your clothes in the house first, I'll keep watch outside!"
"Well, then there's Lord Lao Yan!"
Yan Liqiang said, he left the wooden house, closed the door, and then came to the side of the stream outside the wooden house, more than 20 meters away from the wooden house, found a stone to sit cross-legged with his back to the wooden house, while meditating to recover his strength, while also basking in the sun, at the same time exercise to warm up his body, his clothes to dry, even if there is a fire in this wooden house, but after a while, Yan Liqiang will not be able to run to the house alone, strip naked and bake, and then call a few ladies to guard him outside the door, so only self-sufficient.
Although Yan Liqiang's eyes could not see the situation in the house, his sense of hearing was very keen, and all the movements in the wooden house naturally reached his ears.
There was a sound of squeezing in the room for a moment, it should be that the three women were starting to undress inside, and then there was a soft exclamation from Concubine Duan, "Ah, sister, you are so big!"
Concubine Rui's embarrassed voice came, "Sister, be quiet, Lord Yan is still outside, be careful to hear ......"
"Sister, don't worry, I just saw Lord Yan sitting by the stream over there, so far away, we are so quiet, and we are in the house, how can he hear it!"
"Ah, the door in the house hasn't been sold yet, I'll go and close it!"
"Hehe, why is my sister so nervous, if Lord Yan comes in, she can just take off her clothes and bake with us, I see that Lord Yan's clothes are also soaked......"
Concubine Rui hurriedly interrupted, "I can't let others hear this, otherwise what kind of system will it become, everyone who knows knows that my sister is straightforward and loves to joke with our sisters, and those who don't know still think that there is something between us and Lord Yan!"
"How can there be anyone else here, just the three of us!" Although Concubine Duan's voice was delicate, there was a spicy energy that was full of indifference, "Last night in the water, sister, you, me, and Sister Yi were all kissed by Lord Yan, isn't this called something wrong!"
"Where is the pro, that's Lord Yan saving us, giving us the air underwater, and we are in a hurry!"
"Since you are in a hurry, why are you so red, sister......
"I ...... How can there be ......?"
"Sister, you let Sister Yi see, do you have a blush, ah, I know, my sister's face is so red, I must have remembered the incident of Lord Yan holding my sister and grinding my belt by the river before, sister, you are quietly telling us now, you are so beautiful, when Lord Yan held you in addition to grinding your belt, you could not help but do something else by the way, I think Sister Yi was very greedy at that time...... Oops, what are you two pinching me for......"
......
The three women were talking in the wooden house, Concubine Rui and Concubine Yi were fine, but Concubine Duan was coquettish and spicy, and often had amazing words, Yan Liqiang, who was meditating, began to listen, and then Yan Liqiang really felt a little embarrassed to listen to a few women, so he simply meditated, completely forgetting that he still had a pair of ears.
In the end, it took more than two hours for the door of the wooden house to open again, and Concubine Duan, who was blushing, walked out and came directly to Yan Liqiang's side, looking at Yan Liqiang with a smile on her face, and said in a coquettish voice, "Lord Yan, our clothes have been baked, this ...... Or you can go in and bake your clothes!"
"Thank you for your concern, my clothes are dry, so I don't need to bake them!"
"Ah, why did you do it so fast, I'll touch it!" Concubine Duan said, and her hand naturally stretched over, touched Yan Liqiang's arms and shoulders twice, and pinched them gently.
"There's the sun outside, plus I used a little internal force, so it dries quickly, since a few ladies have already baked their clothes, just take a rest in the house, yesterday I went to find something to eat, it's nearby, and I'll be back soon!" Yan Liqiang said, taking a step back without a trace.
"Great, I'm feeling a little hungry too, Lord Yan, I'll go with you!" Concubine Duan's eyes fluttered, and the whole person leaned towards Yan Liqiang.
"No, no, I'm going to find something to eat, and then look at the nearby terrain, Niangniang follows, but there is much same!"
"Well, okay then!" Concubine Duan smiled, still looking at Yan Liqiang as gently as water, "Sister Rui said that just now she saw some wild ginger on the grass behind this house, you can cook some ginger soup to dispel the cold, let's cook some ginger soup in the house first and wait for you to come back, you don't have to come back too late, let us be careful!"
How does it feel a little weird!
Yan Liqiang muttered in his heart, but still nodded, "Well, I should be back soon!"
