Chapter 5: Return to the Deserted Courtyard Again

……

Xu Fei gulped down a few bowls of tea.

He said hoarsely, "Boss, these customers are so enthusiastic. ”

"I'm so enthusiastic, I won't dare to come tomorrow!"

Hearing this, the snack bar owner was a little flustered and hurriedly said, "Don't, don't, don't!" ”

"If you don't come tomorrow, those customers won't tear down my shop."

Xu Fei sighed and said helplessly: "Boss, listen to my voice!" ”

"If I say that again tomorrow, I may lose my voice the day after tomorrow!"

But the owner of the snack bar seems to have been prepared.

took out a small porcelain bottle from his bosom and said to Xu Fei triumphantly, "What do you think this is?" ”

Xu Fei took the small porcelain bottle, opened the cap, put it in front of his nostrils and sniffed it.

A sense of coolness passed through the nose and into the lungs.

Moaned happily: "Ah~"

Looking curiously at the contents of the bottle, he saw that there were small black pills inside, the size of a fingernail.

"What is this?"

The owner of the snack bar explained to Xu Fei with a smile: "This is my ancestor, throat-clearing medicine!" ”

"In the past, my ancestors walked through the alleys, shouting and selling goods."

"It's all thanks to it that keeps the sound loud!"

"You take a slice, put it in your mouth, and try it!"

Hearing this, Xu Fei took out a pill from the porcelain bottle, pinched it on his fingertips, and licked it with the tip of his tongue first.

It's cool, aftertaste, and a little sweet.

I couldn't taste anything else, but with the strong mint fragrance, Xu Fei could be sure that there was a large amount of mint in the formula of the pill.

Throw it in your mouth and hold it on your tongue.

A sense of coolness burst out in the mouth in an instant.

The hot and dry feeling in my throat disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by a cold and cold feeling.

"Ah~"

The extreme comfort made Xu Fei moan happily.

The owner of the snack bar looked at Xu Fei with a satisfied expression, and said proudly: "How is it?" ”

"My ancestral recipe does work well!"

"Hmm!" , Xu Fei nodded fiercely, indicating affirmation.

The owner of the snack bar turned sideways, took a package of wrapped food from the table on the side, and handed it to Xu Fei: "Come, take it!" ”

Xu Fei took it with both hands and squeezed it a little harder, and he guessed that there should be three vegetable cakes in it.

opened a thin slit and looked at it, but found that not only that, but there was actually a chicken paw inside:

"Boss, this~"

Looking at Xu Fei's puzzled expression, the snack bar owner thought he had seen the meat, and he was a little incredulous.

He smiled and said, "I reward you, don't thank you, you deserve it." ”

When Xu Fei heard this, he smiled hypocritically to alleviate the embarrassment at the moment:

A chicken paw with only a little bit of meat, haven't you really eaten meat?

Before yesterday, he ordered takeout, and the meat in the dish was all singled.

The clear and turquoise green vegetables are much more delicious than greasy meat!

"Thank you!"

"It's all said, no thanks!"

With the snack bar owner's farewell, Xu Fei left his shop.

Before leaving, he repeatedly instructed him to come back tomorrow.

Walk on the way back to the deserted courtyard.

Xu Fei was holding food in his left hand and a money bag in his right hand, which contained the reward he had received for telling the story today, a total of twenty-three copper plates.

These twenty-three copper plates, not too much, not too little.

One copper plate can be exchanged for two vegetable cakes.

The vegetable cake is very generous, and it is very hungry.

Xu Fei didn't know what kind of grain was used to make this vegetable cake, mix it with wild vegetables, and steam it?

Anyway, he ate one today, and he still doesn't feel hungry.

Originally, Xu Fei didn't want to go back to live in that dilapidated small deserted courtyard.

But I really can't stand the shyness in my pocket, and the twenty-three copper plates in my hand are better than a deserted courtyard in this small mountain village!

As for the village, the only inn, Xu Fei went.

Datong shop, as soon as he opened the door, he was directly persuaded to retreat.

Good guy, it's the same as going to the dry toilet in my hometown, not only the taste is unbearable, but it's also really spicy.

In desperation, Xu Fei had no choice but to buy some things and go back to the wilderness courtyard.

Hurry up, still didn't return to the deserted courtyard before dark, but it was close.

It was dark, and the lantern Xu Fei bought, although the light emitted was dim, it could barely illuminate the road.

"The warriors of the Three Kingdoms are brave, Zhao Zilong is the first to be recommended, and he is a hero in front of Changban Slope."

"And that Zhang Yide, roaring on the Yang Bridge......"

“……”

Walking alone at night is indeed a little scary.

The ordinary songs sung in the mouth don't work at all, and they can't dispel the fear in the heart.

Xu Fei had no choice but to sing the red song again:

“…… Build our flesh and blood into a new Great Wall......"

“…… Braving enemy fire, advance ......"

Sure enough, as soon as "March of the Volunteers" came out, it instantly dispelled the darkness in Xu Fei's heart.

Due to the increased pace of his feet, he soon returned to the location of the wilderness courtyard.

Wade through the overgrown weeds and enter the house that is barely sheltered from the wind and rain.

Gently wiping off the dust on the table, Xu Fei put down the things in his hand.

Turning his head to look at the empty door frame, he decided to lift the door panel up and plug the big hole to prevent any wild beasts from touching in at night.

Since he needed to lift the door panel with both hands, Xu Fei put the lantern in his hand on the ground.

With the faint glow of the lantern and the moonlight shining from the crescent moon in the sky.

Cautiously, I fumbled to lift the left door panel first, barely leaning against the door frame.

Just when Xu Fei was about to lift the door panel on the right.

I tripped over something under my feet.

With the help of the force of throwing away the door panel, he stumbled a few steps and barely fell down.

"Hey~"

"What's that?"

It's kind of like a stick, but it seems to be a little soft.

He took the lantern and looked closely.

"I'll go~"

Under the light, in the grass, there was actually a human leg, and there was blood on it.

He took a few steps back, crouched down, picked up a piece of wood, and watched defensively ahead.

A few minutes later.

Xu Fei boldly took a few steps forward and slowly approached the bloody leg.

Poked the wood in his hand, and after finding that there was no reaction, Xu Fei approached more boldly.

The stick pushed through the grass, only to find that it was a person, lying there.

Hand the lantern in his hand to his face and observe it.

A man in his thirties, with a scruffy beard and some of his hair scattered in his coiled hair.

Moving the lantern down, he noticed that his chest was still heaving slightly.

This man is not dead!

Thinking about what to do?

In Xu Fei's mind, he began to think: Is this person a bad person?

Will there be any trouble if I save him?

What if he wakes up and turns his face and doesn't recognize anyone?

Will it deceive me?
