I picked up a big red apple from the plate, grabbed both sides with both hands, broke it hard, and divided it into two halves, carefully checked the flesh, and found nothing abnormal, so I handed it to Zhao Xiaoyi and said, "Eat it!" ”

Zhao Xiaoyi took it, and his face showed the joy that only foodies have, but then he lowered his voice and asked, "Brother Zhou, is there anything special about breaking this apple in half and eating it?" ”

I put the other half of the apple to my mouth, clicked and took a bite, and said vaguely as I chewed: "What can I pay attention to, such a big apple, I can't eat it alone, so I'll break it open and eat half of it for you." ”

Zhao Xiaoyi looked speechless: "Brother Zhou, you have such a sense of ceremony, I thought that eating this kind of banquet had to be like this?" ”

I smiled and said, "Stinky girl, do you know that you are called a soldier?" Okay, hurry up and eat, it is estimated that there will be a good show soon, and you will be full of good acting. ”

Zhao Xiaoyi's beautiful eyes flowed, and he raised his hand and pointed to the location of the upper room: "Brother Zhou, you mean they..."

There were people all around, and I hurriedly glanced at Zhao Xiaoyi's words, meaning that I knew it in my heart, but don't talk nonsense.

Zhao Xiaoyi immediately nodded knowingly, and then began to eat the half of the apple, but as he ate it, he asked again, "Brother Zhou, am I a little strange?" ”

I turned my head to stare into her eyes, "What's weird?" ”

Zhao Xiaoyi waved his hand: "Ah, Brother Zhou, I didn't mean that just now, I was talking about a scientific problem." ”

I was a little bizarre, eating with a group of ghosts in a haunted house, how could this girl suddenly think of a scientific question, which in itself is unscientific enough, but still asked, "What scientific question?" Speak up and listen. ”

Zhao Xiaoyi raised the remaining quarter of the apple in his hand, like holding a crescent moon, and said with interest: "Brother Zhou, look, this is obviously a normal apple, and the other foods on the table don't look fake, isn't this ghost all imaginary, how can you eat these things?" ”

So this girl is talking about this? I happened to see the answer in a book, although I don't know whether science is unscientific or not, but I still explained to her: "That's because the way ghosts eat is different from us humans, specifically, they only need to ingest the aura contained in food, so the remaining physical parts, all kinds of nutrients are basically still there, we humans can continue to eat, this is also to take what we need, right?" ”

As soon as Zhao Xiaoyi heard this, he pointed to the other food on the table and said, "In this way, these things can actually be eaten." ”

I'm a little speechless, this snack guy, after talking for a long time, is he still thinking about the food on the table? He said: "It should be okay to eat, but it is estimated that you need to re-clean and cook, or will you pack some back for you in a while, and use it as lunch at noon tomorrow?" ”

Zhao Xiaoyi suddenly pursed his lips: "Brother Zhou, what are you talking about?" Who's going to pack? Am I just asking? ”

After Zhao Xiaoyi finished speaking, he began to bite the apple fiercely, and ate it in a few bites, then rubbed his hands and said, "Brother Zhou, the apple juice has flowed in one hand, and my face is covered with dirt, I don't know if there is a bathroom here?" Let's go wash it, or it's too uncomfortable. ”

I actually feel the same way, but I still think this girl is a bit troublesome, but, after thinking about it, girls, aren't they all like this? Besides, I can take this opportunity to explain some things to her, so that this girl will not be stupid for a while and make some trouble.

So, I nodded, then stood up and asked Cao Lei, who was busy with his work, "That... Cao Lei... Do you have a place to wash your hands here? ”

Cao Lei immediately stopped what he was doing, ran over with a fart, and said with a little enthusiasm: "Yes, there is a well in the backyard, Mr. Zhou, I will take you there." ”

I waved my hand and said, "Forget it, you're busy, we'll just go and find it ourselves." ”

Maybe seeing that I was lukewarm, Cao Lei didn't insist anymore, but just pointed to the back of the house and said: "In the corner of the wall on the left side of the backyard, I saw it in the past, there should be buckets and basins by the well." ”

I nodded slightly to express my gratitude, and then took Zhao Xiaoyi along the aisle between the upper room and the wing room and walked to the backyard.

As he walked, Zhao Xiaoyi exclaimed in surprise: "Brother Zhou, why do I think this aisle is a little familiar?" ”

Actually, I also felt that this aisle was almost exactly the same as the aisle of the previous courtyard, but there was nothing strange about it, because I suspected that it was actually the same courtyard, so I pointed forward with my hand and said, "Take a look in the backyard and you will know the situation." ”

After walking out of the aisle, I saw three identical asbestos tile houses, but strangely, the doors of these three asbestos tile houses were intact, and there was also a huge happy word pasted on them, which almost covered the entire door.

Looking at the corner of the wall on the left, I saw a well platform, and there was an iron bucket and a copper basin next to it, I remember that the previous yard should not have these, so I was a little suspicious that the two courtyards should just be alike, of course, it is also possible that this well is just an illusion.

So, I walked to the well, looked into the well with the heavenly thunder talisman, and found that this should be a real well, and the water level in the well is very high, from the water surface to the edge of the well, it is estimated that the distance is more than ten meters.

Zhao Xiaoyi also stretched out his little head to look inside, and said: "The water is so deep, and there is no reel on this well, how can you draw water?" ”

I thought to myself, this girl who grew up in the city is really making a fuss, who said that you can't fetch water without a wheel? Of course, having said that, being able to know that the roller is used to fetch water, this Zhao Xiaoyi is not simple, at least much stronger than those who think that macaroni grows directly from the ground.

However, I didn't explain much, but lifted the bucket straight up, put it into the hole, and then put the rope with both hands alternately, and when I felt the bucket touch the water, I swung it hard to one side, and then I loosened the rope violently, and the bucket was full of water and began to sink, so I quickly tightened the rope again, still alternating my hands, and pulled the bucket up again and again.

Looking at the bucket full of well water, Zhao Xiaoyi couldn't help but exclaim: "Brother Zhou, you are so amazing?" And there is no light, how do you do it? ”

I smiled and said, "When you start at the age of ten, you fetch water every day for seven or eight years, and you will probably be more skilled than me, okay, don't be curious about the baby, quickly wash your face, and attend your groom's brother's wedding, he will be unhappy if he misses the hour." ”

Zhao Xiaoyi yelled at me Nunu, looking a little dissatisfied, but I ignored her, just lifted the bucket and poured half a bucket of water into the copper basin next to it.

Zhao Xiaoyi immediately squatted down and began to wash his hands and face happily, and soon, Cinderella just now was back to her brilliance, but I was suddenly a little worried, I don't know if this is good? As the so-called "taoguang and obscurity," perhaps what we have just seen will be more beneficial to our extrication from difficulties.

But then I thought, maybe this is not the crux of the problem at all, besides, since it has been washed, you can't get her dirty again, right? So, the best way is for me to wash whiter, so as not to fall behind in a moment of competition, not to mention, after all, I am a dignified master, I always pay attention to the image, right?

So, I ran out of a bucket of water, not only washed my face, but also washed my hair by the way, and saw Zhao Xiaoyi giggling beside me: "Brother Zhou, it's not you who is the groom today, are you so clean and dry?" ”

I raised my head and said a little seriously: "I'm afraid, someone will kidnap you as a bride, stinky girl, be clever for a while, don't always look like a stupid girl, you will suffer, you know?" ”

Zhao Xiaoyi nodded, and said a little mysteriously: "Brother Zhou, actually, I know everything, don't worry, he will never succeed." ”

Seeing her confident look, I splashed the dirty water in the basin and said, "Okay, anyway, don't leave me easily for a while, forgive him for any tricks, if you want to take you away from me, I'm afraid it's not so easy." ”

Unexpectedly, Zhao Xiaoyi suddenly blushed and said, "But, Brother Zhou, I may have to leave you now, because... I think... Xiao Jie..."

Seeing my instantly petrified appearance, Zhao Xiaoyi said a little sneeringly: "Brother Zhou, I'm sorry, I seem to have a lot of trouble today." ”

I thought to myself, you stinky girl, don't you have much to do one day? But I felt that this thing seemed inevitable for everyone, so I said: "Okay, I'll look and see if there is a toilet in this backyard..."

However, after looking for a long time, I didn't find such a great building as a toilet, and suddenly found that the three asbestos tile houses seemed to be very suitable, so I walked to the door to see if the door was locked.

Unexpectedly, with a slight touch of my hand, the door fell vertically inward.
