Chapter 238 Is there any problem?
Two days later, at the hour of You, it was almost dusk.
Three ox carts moved slowly out of the city gate.
"Let's stop here." Gu Qinghan took the lead and drove the carriage to a place not far from the inner city gate. Just a slight turn to the left was the direction of Hsinchu Village.
Xu Yuan got off the car and stretched his bones. He stayed in the room during the day and lay on the bed for the past two days. At night, he climbed out of the window to take a walk and cook.
He's in his own home, but he acts like a thief.
But it was not without gains. At least Xu Zhi and the others could take care of themselves without him around. Liu Zhushan and Xu Qing also came to visit from time to time. Xu Yuan was very grateful to them for this.
He took a small bottle from his bosom, opened the lid, and placed it under everyone's nose, even the sleeping piglet.
"Ah? That's good." Li Junyong couldn't believe it. How could it be different from what he imagined? Shouldn't it be that the sleeves were gently waved, and then light appeared, like the white light that disappeared at that time.
"Otherwise?" Xu Yuan closed the bottle, put it away, and looked at Li Junyong, "Any questions?"
"Of course there is. When they wake up and find themselves here suddenly, won't they be suspicious?"
"No, they will just remember that they fell asleep in the car."
Hearing Xu Yuan say this, he couldn't help but sigh: This method is really powerful, and I suspect it might even modify people's memories. Li Junyong got goose bumps just thinking about it, but fortunately Xu Yuan was a good person.
A light bulb went off...
Hsinchu Village!
Oh my god! Is there a treasure land there? Otherwise, why does no one know where Hsinchu Village is?
"What are you thinking about?" The sudden question startled Li Junyong who was still in deep thought. He jumped up and exclaimed. Gu Qinghan, who was standing aside, was about to stretch out his hand, but it stopped in mid-air for a few seconds and then he retracted it.
"Qinghan, why don't you make any sound when you walk? You scared me." Li Junyong patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
Gu Qinghan was speechless: "You..."
"How many times have I called you? You just stood there in a daze for a long time. What are you thinking about so intently?"
Li Junyong touched his chin and said, "It's okay. I was just thinking about something."
After a while, the unconscious people finally woke up.
Village Chief Gu felt that he had slept for too long. When he came to his senses, he moved his head away from his shoulder and woke up Chen Dafu, and also woke up Uncle Wang and others who were still sleeping.
Chen Dafu yawned loudly, "I slept really well. Lao Gu, do you know where we are?"
"I don't know. I'll go out and see what's going on. Why didn't these kids wake us up when something happened?"
Village Chief Gu opened the curtain and got out of the car.
"Dad, you're awake." Gu Qinghan walked over from Li Junyong's side.
"Well. How long have we slept? Why didn't you wake us up?"
"It's okay, we just stopped. Are Uncle Wang and the others awake?" Gu Qinghan made up a story with a calm expression. He was relieved to see that his father didn't notice anything unusual.
"Here we are. Let me see if we are almost there." Uncle Wang got out of the car and was very satisfied when he saw the familiar scenes around him.
"We are finally here, thank God."
Village Chief Gu looked at Chen Dafu who got off the car and asked, "Dafu, are you going to the county town or back to the village?"
"Let's stay in the county town for one night. Now that we're here, I need to buy some things to take back tomorrow."
"Then let's all stay at my place for the night," suggested Uncle Niu.
Village Chief Gu: "No need, Lao Niu, I have a place to stay in the county town, so I won't bother you."
I knew that my son bought a house in the county town. In fact, this is a good thing. At least I have a place to go at night, which comes in handy.
Everyone got on their cars and entered the city gate.
As it got darker, some passers-by could still be seen on the street. Until we drove away from the center of the street, the surrounding environment became more and more remote. There were several houses scattered everywhere, and each door was closed. From time to time, the sound of dogs barking could be heard from inside.
After walking for a while, a blue brick and tile house appeared with the gate closed.
"This is my home. Come and sit for a while when you are free." Uncle Niu said to everyone, then he put something in front of the door and knocked.
After a while, the door opened.
It was a young boy who opened the door, about nine or ten years old. When he saw who was outside, he came forward and started crying and laughing, leaving Uncle Niu completely confused.
"What's wrong with you kid?"
"Grandpa, why did you take so long? I want to eat the buns you made." Niu Yuanliang looked up and saw so many people standing outside. He stopped crying instantly, wiped his tears with his little hands, smiled embarrassedly, and greeted everyone.
The speed at which his expression changed made everyone laugh.
"Okay, Aliang, take these things in. Where are your parents and your sister?"
"They all went to Third Uncle's house, leaving me and grandma at home." Niu Yuanliang said, then walked in carrying his things.
"Why don't you come in and sit down?" Uncle Niu looked at everyone.
Uncle Wang waved his hand: "No need, it's getting late, let's talk about it another day."
……
"What a magnificent house!"
"Yes, the old man can also live in a two-story house."
After entering the yard and parking the ox cart, Uncle Liu and Uncle Wang looked up at the two-story house and couldn't help but admire it.
Xu Yuan heard this from behind and almost laughed out loud. How imposing?
This room is just an outer shell, with nothing inside.
Village Chief Gu, who knew what was going on, saw that Uncle Wang and the others were all envious, and he really didn't know what to say to break their imaginations.
Until Gu Qinghan opened the door.
"What's going on?" Chen Dafu was surprised. "Did someone rob our house?"
"Dad, this situation doesn't look like it's attracting thieves. It must have been like this originally." Chen Biyun tugged at Chen Dafu's sleeve to remind him.
"Qinghan, is this the house you bought here?" Uncle Wang looked at Gu Qinghan behind him.
"Well, because the house I rented before collapsed under the snow, I bought it at a low price. It was just built, and I didn't have time to buy furniture."
Uncle Wang patted Gu Qinghan on the shoulder and said, "It's fine as long as it's habitable. But you don't have a stove here, and it's inconvenient to get water from the well at the intersection ahead. Let me build the stove, and I'll definitely do it for you in a clear manner."
"Thank you, Uncle Wang. There's no rush for the stove. It won't be too late to fix it when it's not so cold. As for the water, after all, I don't live here permanently, and I only use water occasionally, so it won't affect anything."
"Okay, then wait until spring and Uncle Liu and I will build it for you."
Everyone took the bed down from the car, and Chen Biyun and Xu Yuan went upstairs carrying the quilt.
