Chapter 138 Night in the courtyard

Zhao Tong followed the fat soldier out of the hall. During the conversation on the way, he learned that the soldier was called Atulu, and he was a kind of butler-like person in Wanyan Xiyin's village.

When they arrived at the gate of Muzhai, Xiao Min and the other three were standing outside waiting. Zhao Tao stepped forward, laughed loudly, and patted his chest and said, "Young Master, I have won the favor of Da Du Tong and was appointed as editor. From then on, I lived a good life. "

The young lady glanced at him: "Husband, what are you talking about? Didn't you live a good life with the slave family these years?"

Zhao Tong was stunned when he heard this, and said angrily: "Can those days be considered good days? My ancestors, sir, were also rich, and the days we lived before were worse than those of pigs and dogs!"

The young lady said angrily: "Seeing you flirting here and there and being disgusted with me all the time, I guess you have other plans in mind!"

Zhao Tong said: "But you are so ignorant. What do you, a woman, know? It is no better than at home, with your butcher father-in-law supporting you. Young Master, I want to rise to great heights. Young Master, please come and give me a courtesy." You should be careful in everything."

Seeing Zhao Tong's expression, the young lady immediately felt secretly resentful. There was no need to act like this. She said angrily: "Yuanjiro, after just a few moments, are you going to disown your old friend?"

Atulu was looking at the two of them, his eyes twinkling. Over there, Huang Gu and Ouyang Bei hurriedly came to persuade him. It was better not to persuade him. After persuading him, Zhao Tong waved his sleeves and turned back to the stronghold.

Atulu immediately grinned when he saw this scene and said: "Yuanbian, walk slowly, walk slowly, aren't you listening to the command of the general?"

Only then did Zhao Tong stop and did not speak any more. Only Artulu led the way. After a while, he arrived in front of a small courtyard in the southwest of the village.

Atulu said: "Yuanbian, this is the residence arranged by Dadu. You can live here and make your own two meals a day. You can also buy them from the barracks in the village. As for things that need attention, I have a book here. Booklet, just take it and read it slowly."

Zhao Tong looked at the small courtyard in front of him. There were two adobe thatched houses in it, which were obviously used as residences for the people he brought. There was a well in the middle and a large vegetable patch behind, making it a well-organized residence.

He cupped his fists and said, "Thank you very much, brother. I have time to come over and drink."

Atulu smiled, secretly thinking that the way you and your wife talked, you are also a restless person at home, but you can't come. You must have seen the fierce woman who is drinking here and flipping the table there, and there is no reason to explain.

He said goodbye and left. Zhao Tong and the three of them went into the hospital to clean the room. Then they looked at the booklet of things to pay attention to. After remembering each one in their mind, it was already dusk.

At the moment, there was no time to cook, so Huang Gu had to go to the barracks in the village to buy some. After a few bites, the sky was already dark.

Zhao Tong walked around the courtyard a few times. The house at the front was narrower, with only two rooms on the right, where Huang Gu and Ouyang Bei lived.

The house at the back is three rooms long and is the main house. From inside, you can see the scene at the courtyard gate. It is for Zhao and his wife.

Zhao Tong came to the back of the house again. This was a vegetable field. Although no one had lived in this courtyard before, vegetables were grown in the vegetable field. They were in bunches. He didn't identify the specific vegetables, but they looked green. It looks quite pleasant.

Zhao Tong sat down on a tree stump with sawed branches next to the vegetable field, breathing in the fragrance of soil and vegetables, and watching the sky get darker, he felt comfortable in his heart. What a wonderful country life, but he always felt that It seems like there is something missing?

At this time, a rustling sound suddenly came from the other side of the vegetable field. He looked up and saw that there were two vegetable fields connected to each other. There was also a small courtyard house opposite. The vegetable field was spread in front of the house and in the middle of his vegetable field. I just used some branches and sticks placed randomly to separate them.

Zhao Tong watched carefully and saw a figure doing something unknown in the field opposite. He stood up curiously and walked to the branch fence. The branch fence was very low, barely reaching his chest, but he could see the vegetable field opposite. .

Although it was already dark at this moment, it was still vaguely visible. There was a woman in the field, who seemed to be young, kneeling and pulling vegetables.

The woman wrapped her hair at the back of her hair with a handkerchief, inserted a wooden hairpin at an angle, and carried a small basket woven from willow branches on her arm. It seemed a bit pretty. After pulling the vegetables, she put them into the basket and wiped the sweat from her forehead from time to time.

Zhao Tong thought to himself that these must be outsiders, otherwise they would not know how to grow and pick vegetables. Wanyan Xiyin's own family members all live in the big courtyard behind the two rows of wooden halls. They don't know how to live in this small courtyard. They just don't know this village. How many outsiders are there?

While he was thinking, suddenly the back window opened and his mother's voice came out: "Yuanjiro, what are you looking at? Why don't you come back and help!"

Zhao Tong was just about to respond when he saw the woman in the vegetable field opposite seemed to be frightened. She stood up in a hurry without pulling out the vegetables, and ran quickly towards the house with the willow basket on her arm. He couldn't help but shook his head secretly.

When he returned to the room, he saw his wife looking left and right in a daze. It turned out that this room was actually a room through the middle door. It was a large open kitchen. People could live in both the left and right rooms. It would be okay if the remaining room was not occupied. Make it a place to receive guests.

When the young lady saw her coming back, she nodded her eyes left and right, and Zhao Tong said, "I live in the main room on the left."

The young lady frowned slightly, pointed to the right, and then pointed to herself. Zhao Tao understood what she meant, shook his head, and sneered: "I forgot what I said when I came here. I kept talking during the day, but I want to do it again tonight." Are you here to play?"

After hearing this, the young lady knew that the plan of one person per room could not be realized, so she silently walked into the main room on the left.

Zhao Tong also walked in and saw two wooden lattice windows a few steps to the right of the door. There were wooden tables and stools in front of the windows, and a large kang on the left.

It was really a big bed. Although he had seen it before when he was cleaning it, Zhao Tong still couldn't help but laugh in his heart at this moment. He guessed that his mother had never slept on such a thing before, and now he felt panicked after looking at it.

There were candles lit in the house, which they brought with them when they came. If they ran out, they had to light oil lamps. After all, it is difficult to buy wax in Huining, which is a military supply.

Now the earthen kang was covered with several lambskin mats. Zhao Tao felt the softness and softness and couldn't help but lie down on it and said: "Thirteenth Mother, go and bolt the door outside."

The young lady was stunned when she heard this and said, "What to do?"

Zhao Tong said: "It's already dark, so of course it's time to sleep!"

The young lady bit her lip, reluctantly moved out step by step, locked the door, and waited a while before returning to the room, where she saw Zhao Tong taking off his outer clothes.

Her eyes widened immediately, then she turned around suddenly and whispered: "You, what are you doing..."

Zhao Tong also whispered: "What am I? I am not pretending to be real. Why are you panicking? You can still say these things tonight. In the future, no one will be watching or eavesdropping. Never mention it again!"

When the young lady heard that the fake show was really being done, her face suddenly felt a little hot. She stood there motionless, her mind as confused as silk.

Zhao Tong just took off his coat, then covered himself with it and said: "Thirteenth Mother, the lights are out, but no one will light them to sleep all night."

The little girl was immediately shocked. On the way here, candles were lit in the tents, and steel knives were placed in the middle. But now in Wanyan Xiyi's village, they are absolutely forbidden to use them. What should I do?

Zhao Tong ignored her, and it took a full hour before the candle was extinguished, and then there was the sound of fumbling on the kang.

That night, my wife didn't sleep a wink all night.
