The backyard of the Zhu family is very large, and there is one in the cellar of the average family, and there are two in the Zhu Yonghe family, one large and one small, and there are two warehouses by the courtyard wall, three large firewood piles, and some messy sundries, a large horse shed, a cowshed, a garage for enlarged cars, wells, etc.

The snow has not completely melted, and there is more than a meter of snow at the base of the courtyard wall.

The weather was very cold, no one wanted to eat lunch, the four members of the Zhu family were still churning in full swing, and they still couldn't find it after turning over all places, and several people were tired.

Zhu Yonghe had a whim and asked Huzi to bring over a lot of firewood. Then he skillfully lit a fire in the backyard, and built a wire rack on the fire to make hot water, which he exercised in the army, and Huzi learned another trick, which he later led the troops to fight guerrillas in the mountains, and often used it when dealing with the Japanese army.

Zhu Yonghe and Huzi moved out of the warehouse to a large table, and several people drank hot water. The fire really worked, and it was warm all of a sudden, but the snow melted, and the ground was a little wet.

Zhu Yonghe was tired enough, and beat his old waist from time to time. Huzi looked around, the yard was indeed too big, the three firewood piles were stacked very high, and there were a lot of things in the warehouse, very messy, and a lot of them were moved out, scattered in the yard.

Bai Haitang: "Lao Zhu, don't be reckless, I'll put some noodles in the mutton soup, eat something, and slow down." ”

Huzi said, "Dad, go back and lie down for a while." Wake up early in the morning. ”

Lao Zhu: "I can't compare with young people, I'm a little tired, this has to be put aside, just this courtyard wall, I can jump on the spot." ”

Bai Haitang pulled Zhu Yonghe: "Don't reminisce, let's go." ”

Zhu Hongyu said: "There are also pig's trotters, stew it." Hard dishes on the hour, drink some in the evening. ”

Zhu Yonghe and Bai Haitang left, Huzi looked at these things in front of him in a daze, thinking back to the scene that night, he suddenly said to Hongyu: "These firewood piles, all move away." ”

Hongyu was anxious: "What? Oh my God, I won't be able to finish it tomorrow. Let's call them Changsheng and cook more. ”

Huzi: "Those people have mixed mouths, and some of them have families in other villages. I'm going to call the brothers at the racecourse. You help with the cooking first, and then I'll do it when I get back. ”

Huzi quickly ran out of Zhu's house.

After noon, the big car shop was deserted, and the shopkeeper Wang, Erlang and Jin Ge lived quietly in the Liu family's big car shop.

Su Da, who was in the room, was in a daze, and when he saw three people coming in, he hurriedly stepped forward to ask if he wanted to eat. Jin Ge asked him to make three bowls of lo mein.

Su Da glanced at this person, his face was covered and he couldn't see clearly, but his voice was very familiar, and he suddenly remembered that they had come to Hulutun and inquired about the female corpse in Nanhe, although the three of them were still dressed tightly today, but who was Su Da, who had opened a restaurant before, and dealt with strangers every day, and it was a must to recognize people.

Suda asked, "Brother, are you going to eat here, or are you going back to your room to eat?" ”

Jin Ge glanced at the shopkeeper Wang, and the shopkeeper said, "Go back to the room." Come on. ”

Su Da hurriedly said: "The marinade is ready, yellow fungus, wild mushrooms, and red eggs can be eaten in a minute." ”

Shopkeeper Wang and Erlang carried two big bags on their backs, and they went to the backyard, where Jin Ge stood at the door and waited for noodles.

Suda deliberately spoke to him: "You go back to the house, I'll send it to you later." ”

Jin Ge said, "Don't bother you. ”

Hearing this, Su Da became more and more convinced that it was them, and he asked, "Has your cousin found it?" ”

"Who's cousin?" Jin Ge didn't even reply, pretending to be surprised, and asked back.

Suda hurriedly said, "I recognized the wrong person. ”

The noodles came out of the pot, Su Da served three bowls, poured mushrooms on top and marinated, and then put some chili oil on them, and put them in a tray, Jin Ge took the tray and left.

Suda looked at Jin Ge's back, thinking to himself why these three people were so mysterious, and he didn't admit it.

At this time, Cui Wanshui, the eldest son of the Cui family, who was on duty at the door today, came, and he said: "The Liu family and the Cui family have decided to start the Chinese New Year, and the money collected by the kitchen should be counted separately, and no longer collect money together with accommodation. ”

There are several rooms in the backyard of the big car shop, there are two large shops that can accommodate more than a dozen people, three small shops that can live six people, and a few single rooms. The trio chartered a room for six people.

Su Da and Cui Wanshui pushed the door in, the three people in the house were eating noodles, when Su Da said that he wanted to collect money, the shopkeeper Wang immediately took out the money from his pocket, gave it to Su Da, and said that after eating noodles, he would send the bowl to the kitchen.

When he went out, Cui Wanshui made a happy sound, Jin Ge and Erlang looked really funny eating noodles, sucking and sucking, making such a loud noise, and the action was really not like the Northeast masters.

It was dark at four o'clock in the afternoon in winter here, and the shopkeeper Wang rested for a while, watched the sky get darker, and came to the small forest north of Tunzi to meet Qu Wei at the time agreed in advance.

Qu Wei told him about looking for Liu Jinzeng in the morning. Shopkeeper Wang asked Qu Wei to go to Zhu's house at night to see what the reaction was, Qu Wei resolutely objected, but Shopkeeper Wang coerced and lured, and he had to compromise.

It was dark, there was no one walking around in the tunzi, the shopkeeper Wang, Erlang and Jin Ge walked around the courtyard of the Zhu family, and they could feel that there was a fire in the backyard through the courtyard wall, and there was some light in the dark night, and there were many people laughing and laughing.

Erlang stepped on Jin Ge's shoulders and looked inside from the wall of the backyard of Zhu's house. The backyard was really too big, there was a fire in the middle of the yard, and in the corner of the courtyard wall, I saw four young people standing on the firewood pile, throwing the chopped firewood down one by one.

"Who, what are you doing!" It was Suda's voice.

Erlang fell down in a panic. Shopkeeper Wang and Jin Ge immediately panicked and immediately ran, but Erlang fell to the ground and simply didn't get up, lying in the snow.

Su Da did come to find Zhu Yonghe. It was after the three of them left the big car shop, Cui Wanshui came to the kitchen, he said to Su Da with melon seeds: "As soon as it was dark, the three of them drove out, didn't check out, and carried a big bag, you said it's strange. ”

Suda: "Yes, it will be dawn to leave." And the strange thing, a few days ago, these three people went to Nanhe, and they were also dressed like this, and they couldn't see their faces, so I happened to be here, and they asked if Nanhe had fished up the female corpse. ”

Cui Wanshui: "Ah, why haven't I heard of it. If there was such a thing, Hulutun would have spread a long time ago. ”

Suda: "yes. But I heard that there were women's shoes that were caught, so I didn't tell them. I greeted them today, and they pretended not to know me. ”

Cui Wanshui said: "The chief said that a foreigner came, tell him, I'll go." You look at the store. ”

Suda said: "Everyone is gone, tell him what's the use." ”

Cui Wanshui hesitated for a moment and said, "Hulutun is not peaceful these days, so it's better to say hello to the security chief." ”

Suda: "I'd better go." On the fifteenth day after tomorrow, he invited me to help with the cooking, and I asked what I was going to prepare. ”

Cui Wanshui smiled and said, "You must be a chef." ”

Suda pushed open the door and said self-deprecatingly, "Come on, I'm not qualified." People invited the chef of Qingfeng Restaurant, so I'll just do it. ”
