Wen Qizhou turned his head to look at the people in the car, and when they got out of the car one after another, they followed the man to the back of the yard.

After some introductions to each other, a man named Zheng Yuanyang told them: "We are here at the end of Honggou Village. ”

Honggou Village belongs to Gufeng Town.

Due to the remote location and inconvenient transportation, more than half of the people who originally lived in the village went to the town to beg for a living, and only after the end of the world came, they moved back one after another.

But not many people have moved back, so far there are only 14 local families, and three people from outside the village live in Honggou Village.

"How many families are there at the end of the village now?" Ming Chang saw clothes drying in the courtyard of a brick house, and asked curiously.

"Five households." Zheng Yuanyang led them around the second row of brick houses and through the bamboo forest to a babbling stream: "The people in Honggou Village are more or less xenophobic, if you want to stay, don't go to the village." ”

"Aren't you a local?"

Wen Yaxian was surprised for a moment.

His appearance and temperament are very in line with the image of a rural man, and she thought he was a native of the village.

"It's not." After all, he didn't know each other, he only said that he was from Shangyang, and he fled with his wife and children, and he didn't say anything else.

They are also very measured.

No private questions were made about him.

Chi Yue glanced back at the two rows of brick houses, and decided to stay and rest for two days: "Brother Zheng, may I ask which house is more convenient for us to live in?" ”

There are still five empty brick houses.

Zheng Yuanyang thought that there were so many of them, and he had to live in two sets to say the least, so he said: "There are two sets next to each other at the back of my house, so you can live there." ”

"Do I need to hand over supplies?"

"No, you don't." He paused for two seconds and pointed to the two rooms on the tail of the first row: "Those two rooms are living locals from Honggou Village, you can clean up later, and bring some things over to say hello, so as not to gossip." ”

Chi Yue nodded: "Yes." She took a box of cigarettes worth more than 20 yuan and handed it to Zheng Yuanyang: "I'm bothering you today." ”

"No, it's not a big deal."

Zheng Yuanyang refused to accept it.

He avoided the hand that handed the cigarette, muttered that the work was not finished, and there was no intention of staying, and hurried away.

As soon as the people left, Chi Yunyan led Yunqi and Xunsong to the stream, held a handful of sweet stream water, and drank two sips.

"It's so cool!" The cool water slid through his throat, and it was so refreshing that he wanted to jump into it and soak it.

Seeing that he looked good, the people who were still standing on the side couldn't help it, and squatted down one after another to hold a handful of water to drink.

They first took in enough water, and then took the water cup full of stream water to the brick house that Zheng Yuanyang said.

A "squeak" knock on the door fell.

A musty smell hits the tip of the nose, and the breeze picks up the dust that falls on the furniture, and flutters in the pouring sunlight.

Wen Qizhou opened the window to disperse the smell.

He glanced at the plainly decorated living room, followed Chi Yue's steps, and walked around the bedrooms on the left and right sides in turn.

The three bedrooms are all coiled with kang, the nearly two-meter-wide kang is next to the window, and the wardrobe stands at the end of the kang or on the left wall, and the layout and area of each bedroom look similar.

They walked out of the bedroom, pushed open the kitchen and bathroom doors, and then walked around the brick house next door with the others, and then assigned them a room for the night.

Chi Yue: "Let's clean up first." "Even if it's only for two days, you have to have a clean and tidy environment.

Ge Qinyao: "Okay. ”

She and Chi Yue swept the floor and mopped the floor alone, while Wen Qizhou took three wet handkerchiefs and handed them to Xie Changxiao and Chi Yunyan, wiping the dusty furniture and kang together.

The six people next door also rolled up their sleeves to clean up, and they were busy carrying their luggage into the courtyard gate.

"Brother-in-law." Chi Yunyan, who was sorting out the supplies, looked up and asked him, "What should we bring to visit those two families?" ”

"What's there now?"

"Three hares, five pheasants, thirteen or fourteen pounds of sweet potatoes, a bag of five pounds of rice, and two cabbages."

"Take two hares."

The vicinity of Honggou Village is full of mountains, and it is convenient for them to hunt, and it doesn't matter if they give two hares.

Wen Qizhou tightened the lid of the cup.

He picked up the bucket under the table and prepared to fetch water with Chi Yue: "You just need to run, there's no need to go all." ”

"Okay." He and Xie Changxiao took the hare and went out with them, leaving Ge Qinyao at home to take care of the poultry.

They walked next door, called the six Ming Zhang, who were idle, took the container of water, and slowly went to the stream to fetch water.

When they were taken to the stream by Zheng Yuanyang before, they didn't care about looking for fish, but now they were free, Yan Shuo and Ge Huai took off their shoes and socks and went downstream to concentrate on catching fish.

Water splashes.

The sound of running water and birds mingle in my ears.

They are fishing for water, catching fish for fish, and the whole person is rarely relaxed, and they are all not arrogant and impatient.

Chi Yue placed the round bucket by the stream, and after the efforts of Yan Shuo and Ge Huai, there were six more fat fish that flicked their tails and spit bubbles.

She sank her fingertips into the water, and just wanted to touch the bubble-spitting fish, but she suddenly flicked its tail, "snapped" the back of her hand, and then turned around and jumped in the cramped bucket.

Seeing it squeeze into the middle of the other five fish, she raised her eyebrows slightly, and once again reached out her fingertips to poke its scaly body.

"Is it fun?"

A shadow loomed in.

The gentle voice that belonged to Wen Qizhou, with a doting smile, brushed her ears.

Chi Yue, who was poking a fish, was uncomfortable for his sudden childlike innocence for a moment, looked up at the smiling eyes, and the tips of his ears were slightly red: "I'm measuring its length." ”

"Did you measure it out?"

"Hmm." She glanced at the fish in the bucket and measured it with the naked eye: "It's about 20 centimeters." ”
