Hu's new home is not too far from the Hu family, and if you walk quickly, it will only be three minutes away.

With Zhou Nian galloping all the way, Hu Yi kept telling Zhou Nian to be considerate on the road, and his mouth was about to wear out, for fear that his unserious uncle would speak disrespectfully and offend the other party.

Zhou Nian's ears were about to become calloused when he heard this, and he said in his heart that no matter how strange his temper was, where could he be blamed? But it was not good to refute Hu Yi's face, after all, people are kind words and persuasions, so they simply go in with one ear and go out with the other.

The Hu family is also one of the best families in the city of water, and the courtyards of the neighbors will naturally not be bad, they are all extraordinary deep house compounds, red brick houses, dozens of rooms, in addition to rockeries, there are gardens, which appear to be bright.

But there was only one place that stood out from the grandeur and opulence of the family courtyard – a dilapidated thatched house.

Being able to build a thatched house around a courtyard of this scale, not to mention a flock of chickens and cranes, can be regarded as the best nail household in the city of water, and it is difficult to gain a firm foothold here unless there are certain means.

And the owner of that thatched hut is none other than Hu Yi's own uncle - Hu Hao.

The whole thatched house has three rooms, three in a row, not divided into inside and outside, two wooden doors do not know where to pick up pieces of broken wood, smashed with nails and smashed them together, one is straight, one is crooked, there are two dilapidated portraits of the door god pasted on it, staring at the eyes, not angry and self-threatening, not used to scare people, the right is to beg for a living.

The crack of the broken wooden door is particularly large, you can see an old table facing inside without opening the door, the tiles on the roof are broken, you can find a complete piece of it is a sharp eye, there is not even a yard in front of the house, it is a lively street to go out, it is easy to buy something and eat early!

Standing at the door of the thatched house, Hu Yi obviously didn't want to go in, and his jade arm lightly raised and pointed forward, "This...... This is my uncle's house. ”

Hu Yi felt cold when he saw it, and he had no confidence to speak, as a member of the Hu family, his uncle actually lived in such a dilapidated house, which didn't show the face of their Hu family.

With such a shape, what else can Zhou Nian say?

"Uh...... Yes, quite a personality. ”

Hu Yi's face turned red, "You...... Do you really want to see him?"

"That's nature. ”

Hu Yi was helpless, "Alas, okay, let's go." ”

"Knock knock!"

When he came to the door, out of politeness, Hu Yi knocked lightly on the door, "Uncle, have you woken up?"

Hu Yi asked about waking up, not asking if he was at home, obviously knowing that Hu Hu lived here all the year round and stayed at home.

After hesitating for a while, a very lazy voice finally came out of the room, "Heh, who has a big dream, I know it in my life." ”

"Uncle?"

"Who?"

"It's me, Xiaoyi. ”

"Auntie?" the people in the house heard this, and opened their mouths to scold, "Cao, which wild girl from this family dares to take advantage of me?"

Zhou Nian listened, this guy has something wrong with his ears, right?

Hu Yi hurriedly explained, "Uncle, it's not my aunt, I'm ...... I'm Hu Yi. ”

"Hu Yi?" Hearing this name, Hu Yi understood, and hurriedly shouted, "Oh, it turned out that Xiao Yi is here, come in quickly." ”

"But ......"

"The door is not struck. ”

"Oh. ”

With a "crunch", Hu Yi pushed the door in, and Zhou Nian also entered the grass house.

"Hmm......"

As soon as I entered the house, an extremely heavy smell of dust immediately hit my face, and the smoke made people choke their noses.

"Ahem......"

Hu Yi coughed lightly, covered his mouth and nose and said, "Uncle, you ...... How long has it been since you've been cleaning? ...... It's all hairy!"

Hu Xiao smiled awkwardly, and his voice seemed to be on the beam above his head, "Hehe, it's been more than half a year." ”

Zhou Nian waved his hand, and when the dust settled in the house, the scene in front of him could only be described in one word - chaos!

Pots and pans were placed everywhere, paper, pen, ink and inkstones were placed on the ground, and on the old table next to the door, there were all kinds of messy things, including necessities of life, dilapidated low-level exercises, weapons used in fighting, and even some cold weapons that Zhou Nian had never seen before, of different sizes and shapes, stacked as high as a hill, all placed there.

The walls are covered with strange pictures, except for a few portraits of beautiful women, the rest are all drawings of the structure of a series of strange objects, square, round, flat, long, all kinds of shapes are completely different, some even beyond the appearance characteristics of ordinary objects.

There is a layer of black oil on the ground, if people come in, there is nowhere to put their feet, go fast and slip to, walk slow will definitely step on things, small nails and small parts, big basins and small rags, so the formation of suspicion, such as a minefield, it is really sloppy.

"Wang!"

He can't take care of his own life anymore, he still has the face to raise a dog, so he is tied to a corner against the wall and is accompanied by the dog.

It was an old yellow dog, looking a little old, the corners of his eyes drooped, the skin on his body was loose, there was no sense of tightness, his beard was white, and he barked as if he wanted half of his old life, low and weak, and was casually tied by a thin rope.

The old yellow dog only barked and stopped moving, and I don't know if it was for housekeeping or perfunctory.

The scene in the grass hut was unobstructed, and it was spicy in his eyes, Zhou Nian slowly raised his head, accompanied by a crisp chain sound, and then he saw the uncle who was out of tune in Hu Yi's mouth.

The first thing that catches your eye is a stocky and heavy iron cage, held by an iron chain, hanging directly below the beams.

There was a lock hanging on the top of the iron cage, which was pitch black and ancient, in the shape of auspicious clouds, and if it was not close to each other, the lock was enough to blend with the black on the entire iron cage.

There was a person sitting in the iron cage, it was Hu Yi's own uncle - Hu Hao.

He had a swarthy face, a very thin figure, sloppy, never groomed, his clothes were tattered, his hair and beard were black and long, covering most of his face, and it was impossible to tell his real age.

Hu Xiao looked down at Zhou Nian below, clenched his fists, and suddenly shouted, "Hey, stinky boy, what are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen someone as handsome as me?"

"Handsome?" Zhou Nian suddenly wanted to vomit when he heard this, if he hadn't asked the other party now, he would have exploded a long time ago.

With a dry cough, Zhou Nian said, "Ahem, uncle's appearance is quite chic." ”

"What is it called, uncle! At your age, you should call me big brother!"

"Huh, big brother?" Zhou Nian was suddenly displeased, he was only 16 years old, and he was called a big brother in his 40s? Could it be that he looks very old?

Shameless!

Jian Mei was cold, if Zhou Nian was not serious, it would be enough for the other party to drink a pot, and said with a smile, "Hehe, calling you eldest brother, isn't it wronged you?" Since you like young people so much, then I will call you younger brother. ”

"Brother?" was stunned, among the juniors he met in his life, Zhou Nian was still the first person who dared to joke with himself.

It's weird!

Suddenly became interested in his heart, licked his face and smiled, "Hehe, your kid is quite bold, what's your name?"

"Me?" Zhou Nian pointed to himself, treating a strange person, he had to use a more absurd way to treat him, and said nonsense, "Master, my name is nonsense!"

"Nonsense?" Nonsense suddenly stood up from the iron cage, "Good name! ha......"

"Huh?" Hu Yi on the side didn't want to stay in the house after hearing it, it was obvious that the two neurotics got together!

Liu frowned, Hu Yi poked Zhou Nian with his elbow, and muttered in a low voice, "Why don't you two talk, I'll go out first, and then I want to beat someone if I stay here." ”

Zhou Nian turned his head and smiled, "Hehe, don't leave yet, if you leave, things won't be easy." ”

Hu Yi said, "Then don't be as indecent as him, I really can't fit into the circle of the two of you." ”

Zhou Nian nodded, "Okay." ”

His eyes fell on the fool again, and Zhou Nian was about to speak, but was preempted by the other party.

"Nonsense, let me ask you, what is your relationship with my Xiaoyi?"

Hu Yi interjected, "Uncle, he's teasing you, he doesn't call him nonsense, in fact, his name is Zhou Nian." ”

"Zhou Nian?" Hu Yu's face suddenly became gloomy, "Cut, this broken name is not good nonsense." ”

Zhou Nian smiled when he heard this, because Hu Yi had given him a preventive injection before, so he was not angry.

Hu Hao continued, "Zhou Nian, let me ask you, what is the relationship between you and my family Xiaoyi?"

Zhou Nian spread his hands, "It's okay, ordinary friend." ”

Hu Fu frowned, and his face suddenly turned cold, "Ordinary friends, fart! I have always known my Xiaoyi's temperament, how can the person she can bring over in person be a simple ordinary friend? Say, when will your two family affairs be held?"

"What? dear...... Family affairs?"

This jumping thinking is bigger, and I was a little stunned, and I immediately couldn't understand it.

The man who dares to love Hu Yi must be her fiancé?

Zhou Nian said frankly, "Uncle Hu thinks too much, we are really ordinary friends. ”

"Come less, you kid is not a serious thing at first glance, you deceived a naïve and innocent good girl like my niece, and now you don't want to admit it?"

Zhou Nian looked back at Hu Yi, "Your uncle is usually like this? Has he been locked up for too long? Why is he so weird?"

Hu Yi shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I warned you a long time ago, he has always been weird, you have to listen." ”

Messing around, he interjected, "Hey, what are you two muttering? ”

Zhou Nian looked at the nonsense again, and really didn't want to dwell too much on these trivial things, so he simply went straight to the point, "Uncle Hu, in fact, I came this time to ask for something." ”

"Oh?" frowned, his rambling thoughts leaping quickly, "What's the matter?"

"Uncle Hu, please take a look at this first. After Zhou Nian finished speaking, he patted the bag and took out the previous black box.

Just seeing what was in front of him, his eyes suddenly narrowed, and his flat tone seemed to be strange, "Oh, it turned out to be a Karakuri box." ”

"What? you...... Do you know this thing?" Seeing that the other party said the name of the black box correctly, Zhou Nian suddenly looked excited.

Don't look at the donkey's lips that talk to the horse's mouth, but this insight is amazing!

Hu Fu said with a flat face, "Cut, it's not a magic weapon, it's just a small box, as for the fuss?"

Zhou Nian hurriedly asked, "Can Uncle Hu open this black box?"

"Open?" Mess raised his eyebrows in a disdainful tone, "Of course I can open it, but why should I help you?"
