Chapter 34: The Four Rich Men
Chen Yanfeng's casualness was not in vain, two mules and a car, hurrying slowly, but rushed to the post station that Chen Yanfeng said before dark, but the post station has been abandoned for I don't know how many years, half of it has collapsed, and the other half is crumbling.
Chen Yanfeng rode on the mule and patted his head at the ruins, Zhou Rui jumped out of the car and circled around the ruins, "There are two or three houses in the back that are quite sturdy, as if they were used as warehouses in the past, let's go there and rest for the night." Look at this day, I am afraid of rain at night. ”
"I also look at the rain. Let's go, go and see. Chen Yanfeng tried not to be so embarrassed, jumped off the mule and ran back, Zhou Rui hurriedly stepped forward to hold the mule, and then went over to lead the mule pulling the cart, and led it to the back, Li Yan and Yushu followed behind the car, looking around as they walked.
Look at it like this, this place has been abandoned for at least ten or eight years, and there is a vegetable garden behind the one Chen Yanfeng said, and the post station with good skills as a post man and cook, is he remembering the wrong place, or is it simply something he imagined?
There are indeed three houses in the back, although there are no doors or windows, and they are dilapidated, but they look quite sturdy.
Chen Yanfeng had already come out of the house and looked around the room. Li Yan entered the house, the house was empty, there was nothing, Yushu followed behind Li Yan, circling in circles, "Miss, this is all stone ground, it's cloudy and cold, Miss can't stand the cold, there's nothing here......"
"You go to the car, take a look at the mattress in the car, and the mat or something, and see if you can move it." Li Yan interrupted Yushu's words and complained, but there were only bad things and no good.
Yushu agreed, and hurriedly took her skirt out to see the things in the car. Li Yan turned around again, there was nothing to see in this house, and he came out behind Yushu.
Zhou Rui had already tied Chen Yanfeng's mule, and was clumsily untying the mule pulling the cart. Chen Yanfeng turned around quickly, "Yes, yes, except for no doors and no windows, these three rooms are all fine, no matter how heavy the rain is tonight, it will definitely not leak." Much better than sleeping in the open. Bolted? When you enter the house, you can get a good night's sleep, today is a day's journey. ”
"Sir, these two mules haven't been fed yet, look at this day, you can't see it now, you have to cut some grass and come back." Zhou Rui frowned and looked at Chen Yanfeng, Chen Yanfeng leaned at Zhou Rui like an idiot, "There is grass everywhere, can't the mules eat it by themselves?" Eat as much as you want, eat overnight! ”
"Just now the gentleman himself said that it will rain tonight, and these two mules will rain all night, what if they are sick? Also, sir, look at this cloud, not only is it raining, but I am afraid that there will be lightning and thunder, and a thunderbolt will come down, and the mules will not be frightened everywhere? "Zhou Rui is out of breath.
Chen Yanfeng looked up at the sky and said, "You think about it thoroughly, heh, too, okay, mowing the grass, I have lived for so many years, and it is the first time to mow the grass." Chen Yanfeng said as he turned in a circle, turned halfway, took out the short knife on his waist, and shook it, "The murderous knife will kill the grass once." ”
Chen Yanfeng muttered about the work of the past half a day, and Zhou Rui had already walked into the grass and bent down several times.
Li Yan patted the carriage and called out Yushu, the two of them followed behind Zhou Rui, and they were also busy pulling grass, and they were about to lose sight, and the two mules had to eat a lot of grass, so they had to hurry!
As soon as he dialed two handfuls, he saw Chen Yanfeng throwing the short knife into a flower with one hand, finding a relatively empty grass to stand in the middle, bending down, turning around, and the surrounding grass fell down in response, Li Yan looked at it with his mouth half open, this Chen Yanfeng is unreliable and unreliable, and his kung fu of mowing the grass is really good!
Chen Yanfeng took a few steps forward, stood in the middle of a piece of grass, bent down and turned around again, another piece of grass fell, Li Yan stopped pulling the grass, hurriedly came over, picked up the grass that Chen Yanfeng had cut, and carried it into the house, Yushu also followed behind Li Yan, clumsily holding the grass in a cage.
There is Chen Yanfeng's humanoid lawn mower, and before it gets dark, there is a pile of fresh grass more than half a person tall and full of green air in the three rooms. As soon as Chen Yanfeng entered the house, he took a fancy to this pile of fresh grass, the two mules were grazing on the other side, Chen Yanfeng sat on this side, leaned back into the fresh grass pile, and comfortably raised Erlang's legs.
Li Yan could barely see anything, only hearing the wind outside gradually rising, and Yushu moving things back and forth, "Miss, you sit here...... Miss, sit down first, and I'll see if I can make a fire......"
"There's firewood here." Zhou Rui's voice and footsteps came together, Li Yan listened to the sound of wood falling on the ground, the sound of a lighten sickle, and then a starlight jumped out and fell on the cotton paper ball, Zhou Rui held the cotton paper ball and sent it to a few large pieces of wood, and the cotton paper was quickly extinguished.
"Have you ever made a fire? And you. Li Yan's eyes were dark again, and he couldn't help but ask, Zhou Rui and Yushu answered two words almost at the same time: "No." ”
"What about you?" Li Yan turned around and looked in Chen Yanfeng's direction.
"You crush the big pieces of wood, the smaller the better, just pinch a bunch." Chen Yanfeng's words were not clear, but fortunately, Zhou Rui knew the key at a little, picked a few small pieces of dry wood, broke them into small pieces with his feet, and hit the sparks again.
Seeing that the fire was lit, Chen Yanfeng stood up, leaned next to the fire, and began to instruct Yushu, "There is dried meat in the car, and steamed buns, take them to roast, bring that small teapot too, make a pot of tea, and it smells of grass......" Chen Yanfeng's voice fell, and there were two plops next to him, and the mules who kept grazing with their heads down pulled a lot of, and suddenly, a foul smell spread.
Zhou Rui, who was moving the fire into a long strip, burst out laughing, Li Yan pinched his nose with his hand and pointed at Chen Yanfeng, "Your name is crow's mouth." ”
Chen Yanfeng spit out for an unknown number of mouthfuls, and pointed at Zhou Rui, "It's all you, how can this mule and horse be in the same room with people!" ”
"A poor family is a house." Zhou Rui said to Chen Yanfeng, these days, he doesn't respect Chen Yanfeng very much.
"Are we poor people?" Chen Yanfeng asked rhetorically.
"Aren't we poor?" Li Yan smiled and continued. Like them, they are not poor, are they rich?
"We are indeed not poor, we are not rich, we are not rich, we can be considered moderately rich." Zhou Rui looked at Li Yan and replied, explaining very carefully, "How can a poor person afford such a healthy mule?" And that car, today in the cattle and horse shop, you also saw it, such mules and horses, easy for no one to buy. ”
Li Yan raised his eyebrows, and only after a long time did he snort, two mules and one car can locate the middle class, this place is really poor enough.
