Eight hundred and eighty-seventh chapter night farmhouse
Chapter 887: Overnight at the Farmhouse
Because the carriage was overloaded, everyone was still more than half way away from Hukou Town in the evening.
Wu Sansheng found Chai Yan and discussed with him: "Mr. Chai, it's getting late, the horses need to be fed and rested, and everyone is tired. It's better to find a place to rest for the night and continue on the road tomorrow morning."
Chai Yan was actually thinking about this question, so he immediately agreed and asked: "Shopkeeper Wu, you are more familiar with this journey than us. Is there any place for the people and horses to rest?"
Wu Sansheng pointed forward and said: "Mr. Chai, there are several farmhouses at the foot of the mountain ahead, and one of them happens to be a customer of Huichun Hall. It shouldn't be a problem for us to go to his place for a night's rest."
"Well, I'll give it to Shopkeeper Wu." Chai Yan nodded and agreed.
So, under Wu Sansheng's guidance, the three cars headed towards the home of a farmer he knew.
When it was getting dark, everyone finally saw a rural farmhouse with lights on.
Looking from a distance, there is a large area of farmland in front of the farmhouse. The seedlings in the farmland are neatly arranged. It seems that they were just sown during this period.
As we got closer, we could see several rows of fruit trees on the side of the house, but due to the color of the sky and the distance, we couldn't tell what kind of trees they were.
Although the houses in the farmhouse are a bit old, you can tell at a glance that the owner has been renovating and cleaning them from time to time, giving people a very solid and neat feeling.
There is a well in the corner of the open space in front of the yard. There is a fence around the well to prevent children from running around and accidentally falling in.
Perhaps he heard the approaching cars, horses and people. Before Wu Sansheng could go up and call for the master, the door of the house opened and a strong man in his mid-thirties or sixties came out.
At this time, the light outside was already very dim, not enough for people to see clearly the face of the person coming from a distance. The strong man was vigilant and asked loudly: "Who is he?"
"Oops, it's Shopkeeper Wu who's here! Damn it, hurry up and clean up, Shopkeeper Wu and the others are here..."
The man named Yao's attitude changed instantly, he shouted happily into the room, and then walked towards Wu Sansheng.
Wu Sansheng whispered to Chai Yan at this time: "His name is Yao Zheng. When I was sick, I often came to our Huichun Hall to buy medicine, but recently I haven't come much."
When Chai Yan nodded, Yao Zheng had already arrived, greeted Wu Sansheng, Chai Yan and his party hospitably, and then enthusiastically led everyone to the open space in front of his house.
When they arrived in front of the house, Yao Zheng's wife happened to come out and couldn't help but be a little surprised when she saw three vehicles loaded with goods.
Yao Zheng called his wife to him and introduced him: "My mother, this is the shopkeeper Wu of Huichun Hall in Hukou Town, which I often call. The medicines my mother took when she was sick were all bought from shopkeeper Wu.
!”
Yao Zheng's wife is about twenty-seven or eighty years old. She is a typical farm woman. After hearing her husband's introduction, she immediately said hello: "Hello, shopkeeper Wu."
Wu Sansheng nodded politely in return, and then began to explain his purpose to Yao Zheng and his wife. Yao Zheng agreed without saying a word, and discussed with his wife that they could tidy up the side room so that everyone could squeeze in at night.
, it shouldn’t be a problem to get some sleep.
"Brother Yao, younger brothers and sisters, you accept this!"
As Wu Sansheng spoke, he put a piece of broken silver into Yao Zheng's hand.
Yao Zheng and his wife were both honest and honest farmers, and they refused to accept it at that time. The two sides pushed back and forth and reached a stalemate.
When Chai Yan saw this, he walked over and tried to persuade him: "Brother Yao, Madam Sister-in-law, you'd better accept this money!"
Wu Sansheng immediately echoed: "Yes, yes, take it, take it..."
Yao Zheng shook his head and said: "We can't accept it! A few years ago, my mother was sick, and shopkeeper Wu always promised to let me pay on credit. He has helped our family a lot. How can I accept this money?"
Chai Yan said: "Yes, but that is a matter between you and Shopkeeper Wu. This money is the food and drink expenses for everyone except Shopkeeper Wu, as well as the horses and donkeys, so you have to accept it!"
Wu Sansheng reacted immediately and said hurriedly: "That's right, you have to collect the money. Next time I come to your place alone as a guest. I will stay for three days and three nights. I will eat and drink your food without paying a penny."
Give it, okay?"
After hearing this, Yao Zheng showed hesitation on his face. He looked at his wife, then back at Wu Sansheng and said: "Okay, shopkeeper Wu, we won't be polite this time. Wait until you come next time."
I'm really anxious if you mention the word money again!"
"Okay, okay, I won't mention it next time, not at all!" Wu Sansheng agreed with a smile.
Then, Yao Zheng asked Chai Yan politely: "What is the name of this young master?"
"My surname is Chai!" Chai Yan smiled and spoke concisely.
Wu Sansheng immediately answered: "Brother Yao, this Mr. Chai is from the capital, and he happened to be on his way to Hukou Town with us."
"Oh, that's it..."
When Yao Zheng and his wife heard that Chai Yan and the others came from the capital, they looked at them with reverence in their eyes.
After chatting, Wu Sansheng entered the house at Yao Zheng's invitation, and at the same time ordered his two apprentices to go to the kitchen to help cook, while the three hunters became the caretakers of the carriages, horses and goods.
As for Chai Yan and Yu Tie, they were still responsible for taking care of the horses and vehicles. Hang Baiqiu and Guan Maochun took Zhang Youde's three children to clean up the house next door, hoping to make the three children's stay warmer and more comfortable at night.
As for Chai Yan and Cheng Jiu, they discussed and arranged the details of the night watch in front of the hospital. They were very clear about who would go first and who would go last, who would be on the same shift with whom, and how long the shift would last.
After the arrangement was completed, Cheng Jiu went to inform everyone.
Chai Yanze walked to the side of the middle-aged hunter and said, "Uncle Yu, it's really hard for you this time."
On the way here, Chai Yan asked the middle-aged hunter Yu's surname, but he didn't ask for his name in detail.
Uncle Yu hurriedly shook his head and said: "No, no, no, it's hard work here. It's just lying around and making money. Thank you for meeting Mr. Chai, otherwise you wouldn't have such a comfortable life!"
The two younger hunters at the back kept saying yes when they heard this, saying that they had made more in the past few days than they had earned from hunting in a year. It would not be difficult to build a house or marry a wife when they went back!
Chai Yan couldn't help but feel shocked, then he realized that the two younger hunters, Ganqing, had not yet married wives...
While they were chatting away, they heard Hang Baiqiu's voice from behind.
"Chai Yan, I have something to tell you!" Hang Baiqiu seemed angry.
Chai Yan immediately apologized to the three of them, and then walked towards Hang Baiqiu: "What's wrong, who provoked you again?"
"Who? Just you!" Hang Baiqiu shouted.
"Me?" Chai Yan felt confused and asked in surprise and confusion, "What did I do to you?"
Hang Baiqiu took a breath and said unhappily: "Why are you on duty at night without me?"
Chai Yan instantly understood that this was the reason why Hang Baiqiu raised an army to investigate.
