Chapter 3: Hospitality

Hu Hongjun took Chi Yao to the interior of the settlement and found a larger tent.

Hu Hongjun lifted the curtain and shouted when he entered the door: "An, I have guests today, cook a little more." ”

A plain-looking, blind woman in a plain cloth dress replied, "Got it." ”

"This is my wife." Hu Hongjun's face was filled with a happy smile.

"Hello." Hearing the voice, Ann smiled in the direction of Ji Yao, fumbled and took out pots and pans and dried wild vegetables, and cooked them on the improvised stone kiln stove in the center of the tent.

Chi Yao looked at the dishes, thought about it, put his hand into the bag again, took out a can of old godmother and said, "This is a thank you gift for this dinner, and when you eat, you can add a little more rice." ”

Hu Hongjun took the jar and said with a smile: "Then thank you, brother, just sit down." I don't know what you call brother, I'm Hu Hongjun, you can call me Lao Hu. ”

"My name is Gray Yao." Ji Yao said, finding an empty seat and sitting down.

"Are there any architectural ruins like abandoned farms?" Ji Yao asked.

"Abandoned farms? Hmm, I'll think about it......" Hu Hongjun began to recall, and after a while, he said: "I remember walking about 20 kilometers to the east last time, as if I had seen a farm from afar. ”

"Is that so? Lao Hu, thank you. Ji Yao nodded.

"It's okay, I won't ask you about it, by the way, here's the map, it's probably here." Hu Hongjun took out a fairly detailed map and pointed to a location in the east.

"Thank you for your understanding, I'll stay one night and leave tomorrow morning." Chi Yao said that after finding the goal, Chi Yao's mood was a lot happier.

Then, Chi Yao and Hu Hongjun chatted casually for a while.

As he spoke, the broth in the pot gradually exuded a fragrance, Chi Yao sniffed it and praised: "Madame's cooking level is very good, this fragrance smells very attractive, how did you do it?" ”

Ann heard Chi Yao's praise and said, "There, practice makes perfect." Although I am blind, I still have the sense of smell, hearing, touch, and I can still get things done. ”

Hu Hongjun smiled helplessly: "An she has a strong temperament, and she won't let me take care of her." ”

"I can't be a waste person to drag you down." Ann's tone was full of tenderness.

Hu Hongjun scratched his head very embarrassed, as if he was not suitable for laughing with his wife in front of outsiders.

Just as the scene was embarrassing, a shout came from outside.

"Uncle, uncle! I am hungry! Hu Fei recklessly barged in, disgraced.

When Hu Fei lifted the curtain, he saw Chi Yao, and was stunned: "Aren't you that guy!?" How is it here? ”

Hearing Hu Fei's words, Hu Hongjun's face turned a little colder, and he scolded Hu Fei: "Hu Fei! Be polite! Brother Grey is my guest. Also, have you seen it? ”

Hearing this, Hu Fei's cold sweat suddenly flowed uncontrollably, and he couldn't help but peek at Chi Yao a few times, and found that Chi Yao was unmoved, and began to edit the words in his heart, trying to hide it from Hu Hongjun.

Hu Fei is the son of Hu Hongjun's younger brother, and since his father died, he has been living with Hu Hongjun, and he is very afraid of Hu Hongjun's uncle.

Hu Hongjun discovered Hu Fei's small movements, and then based on Hu Fei's past behavior, he immediately guessed the truth: "Did you go out with that broken gun again to scare passers-by?" And met the Gray Yao Brothers? ”

"......" Hu Fei didn't dare to refute at all.

"You!" Hu Hongjun stood up angrily, looked at Hu Fei, and wanted to slap him.

At this time, Chi Yao said that he was not happy to watch the fun, so he had to add more oil, and said: "Old Hu, what about Hu Fei, he is still a child......

Hearing that Chi Yao actually spoke for himself, Hu Fei immediately followed: "Yes, uncle, I'm still a child......"

saw Chi Yao slowly make up the second half of the sentence: "If you make a mistake, just break three legs!" ”

"Three, three-legged??" Hu Fei was immediately frightened by Chi Yao's words.

Hu Hongjun's face darkened a little, dragged Hu Fei up, and said to Chi Yao: "Brother Gray Yao, I'll teach this kid a lesson and make you laugh." ”

"It's okay, the child's education, but it's very important, you can go." Ji Yao responded with a smile.

I saw Hu Hongjun take Hu Fei out of the tent, and after a while, Hu Fei's miserable howl was heard.

After about half an hour, Hu Hongjun came back with Hu Fei, and Hu Fei's buttocks could be seen swollen.

"Dinner, let's eat." Ann finished cooking, brought a pot of fragrant broth, the soup is pure white and rich, with a milk-like smooth texture, the meat pieces are stewed well, and the oily soup is covered with pieces of wild vegetables, embellished with a touch of emerald green, which makes people appetite.

There are also some steamed buns, which are plump and full of wheat fragrance.

"Just smear it and eat it." Chi Yao opened the old godmother, broke the steamed buns, smeared some sauce, and ate them with broth.

Hu Hongjun and Hu Fei followed Chi Yao's movements and smeared the old godmother.

Hu Hongjun also cared about his wife, handed a steamed bun that had been wiped first to An, and said, "You taste it." ”

This dog food full of love prompted Chi Yao to greatly speed up his meal.

After dinner.

Hu Hongjun and An used a curtain to divide a small compartment in the tent and make a bed for Ji Yao.

The materials that Ji Yao carried were basically in the storage space, and only a few materials were placed in the backpack, and Chi Yao put the backpack at the head of the bed.

Although Hu Hongjun is a good person, he still needs a little bit of precaution, and Chi Yao has laid an early warning earth system circle around him, this earth system circle is taught by Sha Lan, and he can sense the vibration of approaching.

Ji Yao then fell into a light sleep.

--

The next morning, Chi Yao woke up, sensed it, the circle was not touched, and walked out of the tent.

Hu Hongjun was moving his muscles at the door of the tent, and when he saw Chi Yao, he said with a smile: "Brother Gray Yao, you are awake." ”

Chi Yao looked to the east and said, "Thank you for your hospitality, I have to go, see you again." ”

"Goodbye." Hu Hongjun waved goodbye.

Ji Yao followed the map and walked into the forest.

--

After entering the deep forest, Ji Yao released the crow.

Crow Crow was also a lot more excited when she saw the novel scenery in front of her, and hummed the song in a low voice: "Boom, boom, boom, boom!" ”

"Alright, Raven, be quiet, we're on our way." Ji Yao said.

"Huh." Raven replied, saying she knew.

Chi Yao took out the map and identified the direction, due to the difference in the level of mapping, the map drawn by the wanderer was comparable to the graffiti painting of an elementary school student.

However, the general direction can still be seen clearly, the location mentioned by Hu Hongjun has been marked with red paint, and as long as Chi Yao does not deviate from the direction, he can find the target.

Ji Yao sped up and set off towards the mark of the abandoned farm.

After advancing for about 1 hour in Ji Yao, I finally saw the outline of the abandoned farm!

Chi Yao looked at it from afar, it was an abandoned farm, the fields were deserted, and the washer was dilapidated. An electrified wire fence seals off the farm, with only one gate locked, and is surrounded by an endless forest with broken ruins.

This neighborhood was once a small city from the old civilization of La Mer, but it is now abandoned and has become a camouflage building on the ground of Valkyrie Labs.
