Chapter 319 Return to the Courtyard
Chapter 319 Return to the Courtyard
"What's wrong, what are you doing here, sister?"
The gate to the courtyard was not covered. When Xu Zhi pushed it open, he saw his elder sister standing in the middle of the courtyard where she was about to go down to the cellar. Behind her were many Japanese people with serious looks on their faces.
Guozi explained the whole story to Xu Zhi, and Xu Zhi felt a little regretful after listening.
How could such good food be wasted? It’s such a pity that the mouse was not caught.
"Second sister, what did Uncle Dafu say?" Many asked with concern.
"It's not a big deal. Uncle Dafu said he can fix it for us the day after tomorrow."
"Sister, I'm sorry. I didn't take good care of Xiaoduo and Guozi and let them do whatever they wanted."
Xu Zhi looked guilty. After all, he was in the vegetable garden at the time. He only noticed it when he heard a "bang" sound, but it was too late.
"It's okay. It's not your fault. As long as no one is hurt, that's good."
"Okay, the matter has been resolved, there is nothing more to say. It's getting late, let's go in."
"By the way, elder sister, what good things did you bring back?" Seeing that his elder sister was not angry, Guozi instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Go and see for yourself."
"Great!" Guozi ran into the kitchen with many people holding hands.
Then there was a burst of exclamations from the kitchen.
"Sister, do you want to move up the rotten grains in the cellar?" Xu Zhi asked.
"No, there's no rush. Just cover the cellar with wooden boards tightly, and tidy up the cellar tomorrow. It's getting late now, so let's eat first.
……
It was dark, and the lights were bright in the kitchen.
A fragrant dish of pheasant eggs fried with wild onions was brought to the table, along with a dish of mushroom, egg and meat soup.
"If only we could catch that big rat, we'd have another dish to add to our menu."
"I've already thought of a recipe for you, big sister. It's stir-fried rat meat, with lots of dried chilies and basil leaves. Wow, it's so fragrant."
Many people couldn't help but mutter when they saw the food on the table.
"Okay, these are still not enough to shut you up? Eat quickly, aren't you hungry?" Xu Zhi brought a bowl of rice and placed it in front of Yifan, then sat down.
Guozi took a sip of the mushroom soup, pursed his lips, and suddenly remembered, and said to Xu Yuan: "Sister, I forgot to tell you that Grandpa Wang said he wanted to practice Ba Duan Jin. In exchange, Grandpa Wang wants to teach us some simple boxing and kicking skills. Do we want to practice?"
"Yes, I didn't expect that your Eight Section Brocade moves are so popular. Sister, maybe the booklet you made can be sold for money. Why don't you take it to the bookstore in the county and try?" Many clever heads moved and said excitedly.
Xu Zhi nodded: "Yes, sister, you can give it a try. If it becomes popular like that storybook, you will make a lot of money."
Seeing these two people so enthusiastic, Xu Yuan chuckled helplessly and said, "Okay, I'll go another day."
"Sister, can you wait until the day when we don't have to go to class and take us to the county town for a stroll?" Xuanyu asked expectantly.
"Of course." Xuyuan agreed happily and scooped a spoonful of soup into everyone's bowl.
"Sister, I know where to find these mushrooms. I went to a large area with Juanhua, Xiaoque and the others to dig wild vegetables. There were two big fallen logs there. The environment was the same as you described, both were cool and humid."
Xu Hui replied: "It is very likely that it will grow. Take me to see it tomorrow when you have time."
Guozi asked curiously, "Big sister, can we grow mushrooms too? We just need to find a rotten piece of wood."
"It's not that simple. To be honest, the taste is not as good as the wild ones."
"But if we plant it, won't we be able to eat it every day?" Manyu asked excitedly.
Xuyuan smiled and said, "Why don't we talk about how clever you two are?"
……
North castle
That night, it was the hour of Hai.
The bamboo forest was quiet and peaceful, and several cars were parked quietly on a path.
"Qinghan, everyone is here. What do we need to do now?" Li Junyong looked around and said in a low voice.
"Ahem, this is my job. You stay in the car."
The night breeze was a little chilly, and Gu Qinghan had not recovered from his cold. He couldn't help coughing a few times when he was blown by the cold wind.
"No one will see us here, right?" Li Junyong asked worriedly.
"No, it's very secluded here, don't worry." Gu Qinghan had specifically asked Xu Yuan before, fearing that someone might suddenly come here, even if it was a remote place, even if there was a part of the stone wall blocking it.
"Okay, since you said that, I guess you must have asked Xuyuan before, then I feel relieved. Qinghan, do you still have the strength in your hands? Can you still knock me out?"
Li Junyong shuddered when he thought of the dizziness he had felt before. He really didn't want to endure that painful feeling.
"Of course." Gu Qinghan glanced at Li Junyong and said indifferently.
Li Junyong was satisfied.
White light suddenly appeared.
Gu Qinghan opened his eyes and returned to the familiar courtyard.
The bright moon hangs high in the sky, and the afterglow of the moon spreads on the ground, a silvery white.
It was deserted, with no sign that anyone had been there.
Gu Qinghan tied up the horse and the donkey, and immediately called out to wake up Li Junyong. After calling for a long time, he finally woke up. He was still dizzy, leaning against the side of the carriage, holding his head.
"Qinghan, do you have the ability to snap your fingers and make me less confused instantly? I feel like vomiting now." Li Junyong said uncomfortably.
"You're overthinking it. How could I possibly have that? Just stay here and take your time. I'll go back to my room first."
"Where are they?" Li Junyong pointed at the people in the carriage.
"They are comatose anyway, so let's just leave it like this for now and bring them into the house tomorrow."
Gu Qinghan put his bag on his back and went into the room.
He entered the room, closed the door, lay down on the bed, put his left hand on his forehead, and fell into a deep sleep.
Li Junyong, who was in the carriage, finally couldn't bear the sour feeling rising in his stomach, so he quickly jumped off the carriage and ran to the corner to vomit.
For a moment, a foul smell filled the yard, and the tied horses and donkeys snorted unconsciously and shook their heads.
"Wow, this is so uncomfortable. I might as well just fall asleep and not suffer any pain." After vomiting, Li Junyong felt relaxed and looked at the several people who had fallen asleep in the car, muttering to himself.
Glancing at the room upstairs, it seemed that Gu Qinghan was not fainted, but just looked a little ugly.
Li Junyong made a "tsk tsk" sound, picked up his cloth bag and went into the house.
It's true that people's physiques are incomparable.
