Chapter 37 There is a vicious dog inside

Of course, not everyone is as easy to recruit as Shi Jin. After being rejected several times, it was difficult for such a family to even get in.

There is a red paper written on the door: People often come here to look for so-and-so recently. So-and-so did live in this courtyard before, but he does not live here now. I really don’t know where so-and-so is.

Please don't knock on this door again.

The inscription is "There is a vicious dog at home" and the seal is the dog's head.

Li Laosan, who was carrying gifts at the back, was confused and pointed at the words and asked: "Sir, what does it mean? Why is there a dog drawn? Is it someone's foreign door god? But this is not right. It's not here yet."

It’s New Year’s Eve, isn’t it appropriate to post door couplets at this time?”

It’s no wonder that Li Laosan understood it so well. As the Chinese New Year approaches, red and black characters are posted on the door. People’s literacy rate is not high, so they will definitely guess this way.

"Old Li, when I teach Goudan'er and the others how to read later, you should also listen more, so that you can settle accounts later." Cheng Nuo burst into laughter upon hearing this: "It says that the previous owner moved, and asked Xunfang to

Guests, please be careful and don’t disturb the current host’s life.”

Li Laosan sneered, lowered his head and kicked a pebble: "Hey, just leave the literacy thing to Goudan'er. But according to what the paper says, are we looking in the wrong place? How about I help you find out?

inquire about?"

"No need. The list I have has been verified by the Ministry of Education. It is basically the latest and should be correct."

"But sir, I can't understand this seal at all." Pointing to the dog's head, Li Laosan was very puzzled: "I remember that the seals used to sell trowels are all people's names, so why does it look like a dog here?"

Cheng Nuo couldn't help but laugh: "Old Li, it's okay. I know the seal and I don't know how to read it, but you are quite right. This is really a dog. He said he has a vicious dog at home, so visitors should be careful."

Li Laosan was a little panicked. He freed up his right hand that was carrying the thing, pulled Cheng Nuo behind, and looked at the yard carefully: "I have never heard of someone who is lucky enough to be bitten by a dog. Mr.

No, it’s unlucky to be bitten by this guy during the Chinese New Year, so why don’t I find a stick to prepare.”

"It's okay. It's a waste of time to go through it again. Let's just be careful."

"No, I can't let you take risks, sir."

Li Laosan felt uneasy and gave the gift to Cheng Nuo. He couldn't find the stick, so he took half of the brick and hid it behind his back.

"Sir, I'll take the lead for you. Just hold your things and watch from behind. If there is a dog, I'll greet it."

Unable to resist Li Laosan, Cheng Nuo had no choice but to follow behind carrying gifts.

After clearing his throat, Li Laosan stood at the door and shouted with all his strength, "Is the master home? Is there anyone at home?"

The door banged, and then there was a sound of footsteps in the yard, and he shouted impatiently: "Who is it? There is no one at home!"

Li Laosan spat and muttered: "No one, is that what the brat promised?"

Seeing that there were no dogs barking in the yard, I threw away the bricks with confidence and continued to pat the door: "Master, please open the door. My husband has something to do with you."

Cheng Nuo felt a little impolite, so he walked over and patted Li Laosan on the shoulder, handed him the gift and signaled for him to call the door.

But before he opened his mouth, he heard a creak, and a man opened the door and stuck his head out. He said without any politeness, "No one is there. There really is no one at home that you are looking for!"

Pointing to the notice posted on the door, he read it carefully.

"You two, please read carefully. What I wrote above is very clear. The family that lived in the corner has moved away long ago. I don't know where they moved. You can find out for yourself. Now it's just a commoner who lives here!"

Cheng Nuo quickly stepped forward to apologize: "I'm really sorry for knocking on the door so early in the morning, but we are not looking for that corner, and we don't know that corner. We are looking for you, Mr. Wu Yulin."

The soldiers and horses were not moved, but the food and fodder went first. When Cheng Nuo was preparing the list, he used his connections to find photos of various characters, so when he saw this man with a little buck teeth, he knew that he was Wu Yulin himself.

I majored in electrical engineering at Boston University. After graduating with a master's degree last year, I stayed in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to work.

"Are you sure you're right? You're here to find me?" Wu Yulin frowned, pointing his finger at himself, with a suspicious look on his face: "Are you sure you're right, you're here to find me? I'm not a big shot, and I don't even have a theater.

Been there."

"That's you, Mr. Wu." Cheng Nuo smiled and nodded: "Let me introduce myself. I am Cheng Nuo from the Mathematics Department of Peking University. I have something important to discuss with you."

Glancing at the tricycle behind him, Wu Yulin suddenly realized: "Oh~ you are the tricycle professor of Peking University. I know you, please come in. Please come in."

Cheng Nuo laughed heartily. He didn't know how many people called him Professor Sanlun recently. At first he wanted to defend himself, but later he realized that his efforts were in vain, so he just let them go. Now he is used to this title.

At this time, Wu Yulin, who had just opened the door to welcome them in, suddenly panicked and slapped his thigh: "Oh, my broth."

After saying that, he slipped into the courtyard, leaving Cheng Nuo and Cheng Nuo looking at each other at the door.

"Professor Sancheng, you go ahead and sit down in the room to have a rest. Eat whatever you like from the peanuts on the table. I'll put away the dishes in the kitchen and I'll be back in a minute."

Now that the door is open and there is not a single dog barking in the yard, it is certain that the dog-head seal is used to bluff people.

Cheng Nuo followed with confidence and looked around the yard.

There are three tile-roofed houses on the north side, and the other three sides are surrounded by walls, but they are kept very clean. There is a patch of leeks, and a few cages of hens in the southeast corner, presumably for laying eggs.

If you look closer, you will see two big white geese hiding there. Even if there is a wooden fence blocking them, you still have to stretch your neck to greet them cordially.

There is no rhubarb, but there is a big white goose. I wonder how many children this thing is a childhood nightmare.

When I came to the kitchen, I found that Wu Yulin was busy wiping the stove. Judging from the meat foam on it, it probably overflowed because he didn't have time to add water after boiling.

Seeing Cheng Nuo coming over, Wu Yulin speeded up his work: "I'm sorry to make you laugh. My wife went out to buy things. I wanted to cook while I was there, but it ended up like this."

"It's okay, you are busy, I can stay warm in the yard while basking in the sun."

Cheng Nuo originally wanted to tease the two big white geese in the yard, but seeing Wu Yulin's flustered look, who probably rarely went to the kitchen, he shook his head, rolled up his sleeves, and went to help.

Wu Yulin was embarrassed to refuse at first, but when he saw his knife skills, he knew that he had met an expert, so he sat next to the stove and was in charge of lighting the fire.

The two of them chatted about each other, from their early experiences in the United States, to their life after returning to China, to Wu Yulin's love life.

It turned out that Wu Yulin's child was sick. Seeing his wife working all night, he felt very distressed, so he took the initiative to take over all the housework.

Today I wanted to make a pork rib soup as a surprise while my wife was out, but I didn't expect that it was a bit beyond my ability and I almost got confused.

Looking at the busy Cheng Nuo, Wu Yulin said inexplicably: "Professor Cheng, you are not from Sichuan Province, are you?"

"Do you think I'm from Sichuan Province?" Cheng Nuo joked.

Wu Yulin was also confused now: "Looking at your cooking skills, it's hard for me to say such a sentence suddenly."

Cheng Nuo happily put the knife on the chopping board: "I'm not from Sichuan Province, but Sichuan Province is a good place, the land of abundance. Maybe our Academy of Sciences of the Republic of China will be located there."

Being in the rear area, the enemy cannot invade there, and it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. You can slowly start construction there, so as not to rush to move later and be missed by the enemy.

Instead of rushing to answer his doubts about why he was considering going there, Cheng Nuo first asked about the dog head seal.

Wu Yulin laughed loudly after hearing this: "Professor Cheng, you don't know something. Originally, there was only a notice but no signature. Later, someone saw it and just knocked on the door to cause trouble. That's why we came up with this strategy."

"If they really want to see it, it's easy. Anyway, it's not about foreigners. Anyone in the court is a vicious dog."
