"What?" I asked Jiang Wanqing, "Why are you so smart?"
"Brother, look, no matter what, those are not wild fruits." She pointed to the fruit forest in the valley where we just walked.
"Yes, I saw that someone planted it specially. I can see the lines line by line."
"Then what are you waiting for? We haven't found our dinner yet." With that, we whistled and ran to the orchard together. When we came back, I was still tearing down the bamboo fence around the house and picking out some relatively good bamboo branches.
, tied a door with ivy to block the entrance.
Jiang Wanqing and Xiaoyue roughly cleaned the house, and we ate the fruits and lay down on the bed.
I don’t know where the owner of this house has gone. It seems that he has not been back for a long time. The letters, the copper lock, and the furnishings in the house all tell us that one or several of our fellow villagers are here.
Where did he go? How did they get here?
Looking at the buildings here, I'm sure that judging from the size of the houses, they plan to settle here for a long time. It doesn't look like they are just passing by temporarily, otherwise they wouldn't have built it with such care. Look at the fruit trees in the valley, they have grown a bit.
It's the end of the year
There was already the sound of insects outside the house, and everything was completely silent. Xiaoyue and Jiang Wanqing followed me up the mountain for a day and went into the woods. Now they were so tired that they ate some fruits and lay down on the stone bed. They said
The stone bed was very comfortable, tempting me to get on it quickly. I checked the defense of the house one last time and lay down on it.
Both of them were very honest tonight. They were too tired and had no lighting. After a while, they made a loud noise. I was thinking about going back tomorrow, bringing some people here, tidying up and cleaning the place, and then we
Bring the paintings and stay here with them. This place is more comfortable than a cave.
Now that King Tian is gone, I have to arrange their lives, and those soldiers, at least until King Tian and the others meet again, we can't be haggard and skinny.
It was a quiet night, neither wind nor rain. If it weren't for the slight sound coming from the bamboo door I placed outside the door, I would have fallen asleep.
It was a very soft sound, like the wind blowing the branches. Once, twice, I quietly turned over and jumped out of bed, listening to the movement on the door with my ears.
Is the owner of the house back? No one has been to this house for more than a year at least. It couldn't be such a coincidence. The first night I brought my wife here, the owner came back.
The door of the room where we slept was not closed. I was lying at the door, my eyes gradually adapted to the darkness at the door. The sound was still coming slowly, from the place where I placed the bamboo door.
The light outside the door is hazy, but if there was someone standing there, I would see it, but there is nothing there.
I haven’t seen anyone in so many days, and he is a master when he comes, I thought, quietly holding the sword in my hand
The fact that the other party came to visit secretly and didn't show up means that he didn't want us to know that the owner of the house had any secrets left here? I looked back at Xiaoyue and Jiang Wanqing lying on the bed. They were completely unaware of all this and were sleeping so fast.
Zhengxiang
A small head popped out from under the bamboo door, and soon there was another one. It turned out to be the two guys who escaped from the house during the day, and almost scared Jiang Wanqing to tears. They came back so late.
do what?
I stayed still to see what they wanted to do
Two weasels raised their pointed ears and stood outside the threshold looking into the house to see if there was any movement. My curiosity was aroused by their sneaky movements and they did not make a sound. After a while, they walked in front of me.
After that, he got into the house from under the bamboo door.
The moonlight outside was hidden behind the clouds. As soon as they came in, they ran directly to the hall opposite me. Is there anything in there that they couldn't let go of? Just as I was thinking, I saw two shadows jumping out of the hall, mouths
They are all holding something in front of them, stretching out
He stretched his neck and stuffed the object through the hole at the bottom of the bamboo door. Then he lay down and went out. After a while, he poked his head out of the threshold. There were two weasels inside and outside the door.
Catching it mouth-to-mouth and passing it on, what is it?
I quietly leaned forward and looked in that direction with wide eyes. Unfortunately, the light was too dark, and the scabbard of my sword hit the door frame.
The one in the door hurriedly darted out like a loach. It walked in such a hurry that its fur scraped against the bamboo door, making a loud noise.
There was a sound on the bed in the house, and Xiaoyue gently appeared behind me and asked quietly, "Husband, what's going on?"
I thought she was fast asleep, but I didn't expect to be so alert. She looked at her approvingly in the dark. Regardless of whether she could see it or not, I rushed out the door and pointed at her.
"It's the two weasels during the day," I said to her
It would be nice if they were not human beings, at least my guess was wrong, but why did the two escaped weasels leave and come back again?
I took out the bamboo stick, and Xiaoyue followed me to the door. Under the light of the fire, I found that the lower right corner of the bamboo door had been quietly opened by them, and two bamboo branches had been chewed off.
There was nothing outside the door. They had lost sight of anything and could not see anything clearly.
I remember that when I first came in, I saw an oil lamp next to the stove in the hall. I was afraid of attracting mosquitoes from the mountains before going to bed, so I didn’t transport it. Now I remembered it and walked into the hall holding a fire folder.
Xiaoyue followed me and said behind me, "How about I wake Jiang Wanqing up too? Otherwise, what if we are not in that room and she lets the weasel get away?"
I glanced at her, she stuck out her tongue and turned back. After a while, Jiang Wanqing came over, rubbing her eyes, still half asleep, "Hubby, what's going on? What's so fun?"
I have lit the oil lamp, there is still oil in it, and the room suddenly becomes bright
There are still the same things we saw during the day, nothing more and nothing less. What did the two uninvited guests take away?
"Honey, are you sure what they took away?" Xiaoyue asked, and she searched around the house. "It's not a rare treasure. Three adults and six lovely eyes. Let two more weasels escape from our house."
Take him out right under your nose."
I held the lamp and leaned down on the stone steps leading to the roof to observe carefully. The three of us had gone up there during the day, but we had not cleaned the steps. There was still a thin layer of dust on it, with only our footprints on it.
, no other traces
Their purpose here was not on the roof, so we looked at it in other places
The furnishings in this room are really very simple. Finally, I focused my attention on the bottom of the stove. There was a fire pit for burning wood, and that was the only place.
I put the oil lamp on the stove and saw that it was covered with a thin layer of charcoal ash, which was thoroughly burned and white. I looked inside again and said, "Ha, you two little guys, you are here."
"Found it? What is it? Take it out and let me see!" Jiang Wanqing's sleepiness was swept away. I lay in front of the stove pit with my butt stuck out, blocking the small pit entrance with my body, so they couldn't see inside. Jiang Wanqing lay down
On my back, she kept urging her, and her two breasts rubbed against my back, but she didn't even notice.
"Wait, let me take them out for you...raise them as sons..."
I leaned down for the last time, spotted where they were huddled at the bottom of the pit, and then reached in.
"Huh? Where are you running? Come with me... play hide and seek... Here you go, little one. Let me see where you are going."
I still haven't touched their furry little bodies. When I took a look just now, I saw that they are only a few months old. They have just been able to open their eyes. They should still be nursing.
I touched it several times but couldn't find it. Two little things were playing hide and seek with me. The bottom of the stove was not very wide. Maybe they staggered and hid in the corner. My hands tentatively touched one side.
Xiaoyue was also anxious, "Have you touched it? I haven't touched a little weasel yet. It doesn't bite."
"They will bite their hands when they grow up, but I think now they will only bite their mother's nipples."
My hand touched something hard at the bottom of the stove pit, which was buried in the charcoal ash. When I grabbed it, it felt bumpy, so I pulled my hand out of the stove mouth.
"Let me see where it is?" Jiang Wanqing was a little excited. "Why is it a stick?"
I held a "stick" covered with charcoal ash in my hand and knocked it on the ground. When the charcoal ash fell away, I saw it was a sheathed knife.
"Why is this? How is it..."
This was also beyond my surprise. I touched the little weasel but did not find it, but I found a knife. I felt that this was not an ordinary thing. The owner would not take something that could be bought with ten years of money in the blacksmith shop at the corner of the street.
It's so hidden
I asked them to stay away, pressed the spring, and heard the soft snap of the metal buckle unlocking, and I took the knife out of the sheath.
A cold light shone in the room! A weapon was placed in my hand. Seeing this light, I knew that I had obtained another treasure.
Looking at my bright eyes, Xiaoyue asked, "How does it compare to your sword?"
"I don't know yet," I said, "Come on, let me touch it again." I pulled Jiang Wanqing aside, and her face turned red, "Don't think too much, I mean, let me touch it again."
Just keep your eyes peeled to see if there are any good things left.”
This time, I didn’t touch the hairy things. I touched them directly in the corners, especially the floating ashes on the bottom of the stove.
"Ha, I had a hunch, I won't be empty-handed this time!"
Another knife, almost the same length as the one just now. The difference is that the scabbard seems to be slightly thicker than the first one.
I pulled the knife out and showed them, "I didn't expect it, it's a mandarin duck knife."
"Let me take a look," they rushed to get it, and I quickly said to them, "Be careful, this is a sharp blow, don't accidentally hurt me."
"Quick, touch me again, hubby, hurry up!" Xiaoyue was a little anxious. She looked like a gambler, stamping her feet and shouting.
We have all forgotten what we came here to touch in the first place.
