Looking at the messy backyard again during the day, Song Liyun felt distressed.
The fire burned completely.
Not only were the doors and windows at the roof burned out, but also the walls were burned down. Thick ashes were piled on the ground. Only the low walls could identify the locations of each room.
Song Zhenping picked up some unburned wood from the ashes and put it aside, muttering: "These can also be used for burning fires to keep warm. Those stool legs can still be used after repair."
He stacked the useful and useless separately.
Xiao An struggled to walk through the tangled grass, his face was covered with dust, but his smile never disappeared.
Seeing this, Song Liyun was a little puzzled: Is this child stupid or does he like such a quiet place?
Song Zhenping gave her the answer: Xiao An is not stupid, he is just afraid of meeting people, and he is happiest in the wilderness.
After getting to know Xiao An again, Song Liyun felt more and more pitiful for the child and wanted to move into the big yard as soon as possible, close the door and let Xiao An play as much as he wanted.
All the houses in the backyard were gone, leaving only a side yard next to it that was basically intact. Song Zhenping took Xiao An into the side yard.
This may be the guest room of the original owner's house. Although it is a side courtyard, it is also a regular main room and a wing room.
The place where Black Gold is located is a separate attic at the back of the yard, which should have been its nest originally.
The three brothers and sisters entered and broke the tranquility of the courtyard. Song Zhenping and Xiao An checked the rooms one by one.
But when they reached a wooden ladder at the back of the yard, Song Liyun stepped forward and stopped the two of them without leaving a trace: "Brother, we will live in a side courtyard from now on. What do you think is more suitable?"
The side courtyard had not been burned, and the furnishings in the house were basically there, but the bedding and clothes were taken away by black gold to make the bed, leaving only the bare kang surface.
Song Zhenping was already so happy that he almost fainted. When Song Liyun mentioned it, he did not go to the back of the hospital.
I turned around and went to the main house to see how to arrange the living arrangements for the three siblings.
Song Liyun's lips were slightly curved, and Hei Jin's fierceness was uncertain, so it was best not to let the two brothers know about it yet.
When she saw the two brothers returning to the main room, she got up and followed them.
In the attic behind her, Heijin was lying on the floor, looking out from the gap.
In the yard, a small figure caught its eye. The child's action just now when he tripped on a broken log almost caused Hei Jin to jump out of the broken window.
But looking at the ferocious woman next to the child, Heijin could only use his fingers to gently tug on the silver chain around her neck. She obediently returned to her bed and lowered her head and sighed. Her red eyes were filled with tears at some point.
Having decided to live here, Song Zhenping was not in a hurry to return to the migrant workers' dormitory and immediately started to get busy.
He first found a well in the front yard, and a lot of debris and leaves were thrown into it, so he used simple tools to clean it out.
Song Liyun also found the kitchen. The pots and dishes inside may have been smashed or picked up, but they were basically not intact.
She didn't bother to get the dusty stove, she just built the stove with stones in the yard, took out the pots, bowls and water, and took this opportunity to cook a meal for everyone.
There are boiled chicken, eggs, white rice and various seasonings in the space.
Now that conditions do not allow it, Song Liyun only has a short time to learn how to cook, and he still can't make it fancy, so he simply cooks a pot of salty and flavorful chicken porridge.
The smell of the meat was so fragrant that little An, who was running back and forth while working, came over to take a look from time to time.
At noon, the three brothers and sisters each had a large bowl of hot meat porridge while sitting at the freshly cleaned table under the eaves.
Xiao An pursed her lips and took a deep breath. She reached out to grab the chicken in the bowl, but Song Liyun held her down: "Xiao An, you must use chopsticks when eating!"
In the migrant workers' shack these days, Xiao An didn't use chopsticks to eat steamed buns or porridge, and even licked the bowl with his tongue. Xu Yan'er laughed at him many times and said he was a beggar.
In front of everyone, Song Liyun did not blame Xiao An. This child was only six months old and did not have a home of his own. He had never had a normal meal since he was a child. It was good to be able to fill his stomach. There were no etiquette and rules.
Now that only my brother and sister are here, it's time to teach.
Xiao An glanced at his brothers and sisters who were sitting in a proper manner, then sat down and used chopsticks a little clumsily.
Song Zhenping didn't ask much about why there were suddenly meat, eggs, and rice.
After accepting the treasure "Qiankun Bag", everything Song Liyun took out was normal.
But Song Zhenping, after being happy, said with some worry: "Yun'er, if Bodhisattva wants to save all sentient beings, it can't just be for our family. The treasure must be for our emergency use. If you take too much of it, it will also consume your blessings.
From now on we still have to rely on ourselves, and when we have the ability, we can return more to the Bodhisattva."
Song Dekui said in the ruined temple, "The bag of the cloth-bag monk is a world of its own, and it can hold anything.
Only when you go in can you go out. Only when people in the world worship it can we help all sentient beings."
Song Zhenping heard these words and remembered them in his heart.
After listening to Song Zhenping's words, Song Liyun could only say that this young man was so considerate and sensible that he didn't even have to think about how to tell the truth.
If you want to live here, you really can't rely too much on the things in your own space.
Your own space is a storage space, not a garden for planting and breeding.
The more things are used, the less they become. When they are used up, you have to carry someone to add them at any time, which is always troublesome.
After the three of them had eaten, and after cleaning their things and taking back the "Qiankun Bag", Song Zhenping was anxious to go to the military camp and finalize the house matters so that he could truly have a home.
Song Liyun was naturally even more anxious. Xiao An didn't want to leave, so he meekly went back to the Minfu dormitory.
Unexpectedly, the three brothers and sisters were stopped just halfway.
It was said that Xu Yan'er was found in the morning, and everyone started talking about it. They all said that Xu Yan'er ran into the wild for no reason, and that direction was towards the river. She must have been fascinated by dirty things.
He even got more and more outrageous as he talked about it, describing what strange noises he had heard and what strange shadows he had seen, and he described them vividly, as if Broken Gold Town was full of ghosts.
Mrs. Cui was even more scared. Her daughter stayed in the haystack all night. Although nothing happened, she already felt that she couldn't hold her head up. If she was haunted by some ghost again...
Mrs. Cui felt that the sky above her head had collapsed.
She was forced to go out with her daughter because the man in the family was ill and was spending money like water, so he could not do corvee labor.
The son had to take care of the family's crops and couldn't leave, and his money was being pinched by his powerful daughter-in-law, so he asked her mother and daughter to help with the work.
She was frightened and exhausted.
On the other side, under the guidance of the doctor in the military camp, Xu Yaner woke up slowly after soaking in hot water and giving her ginger soup.
She was cold and afraid of surviving the night. When she saw her mother, Xu Yaner burst into tears and said that she went out with Song Liyun and got lost in the dark night.
Hearing her daughter's words, Mrs. Cui was shocked and annoyed, and immediately wanted to question Song Liyun.
But Song Liyun had already left, and no one knew where he was, leaving her full of anger and nowhere to vent her anger.
Now when Song Liyun finally came back, Mrs. Cui was so angry that she didn't care that this was an intersection. She would scold her when she blocked the road: "Song girl, you didn't sleep at night and ran around by yourself. Why did you take Yan'er out?"
Are you afraid that if she sees your scandal, you will leave her outside?"
