Chapter 92: The dumb man who doesn't know whether he is a man or a woman goes to see a house together
The kettle was taken away. She then saw the person in front of her. His skin was particularly dark, with black ash all over his face. It was the kind of black ash on the face of workers who had worked in coal mines for a long time. His hands were also particularly black. He could be said to be a black man. He didn't speak, and it was impossible to tell whether he was a man or a woman.
"Who are you? Why did you tie me up?"
Dumb pointed to his mouth and picked up the towel on the ground.
"You can't speak?" Lin Yuanyuan looked at the man who couldn't speak. "Then why did you tie me up here? I have no grudge against you. Can you please let me go?"
Dumb shook her head. She couldn't let the woman go, so she could only wrap the towel around the woman's mouth again.
Lin Yuanyuan watched the man walk away with the kerosene lamp. She had just drunk a few sips of water with honey in it. She didn't know when she would be able to drink or eat something next time.
She had to save herself quickly. At this time, she thought of the small scissors in her trouser pocket. She turned over hard and felt something hard in her trouser pocket, which proved that the scissors were still there. As long as she found a way to get them, she could pull the rope. Cut.

Su Jinxia had just finished eating noodles when her father opened the door and came back from outside, his face covered in sweat and his T-shirt was soaked with sweat.
Su Beilu first walked to the table and drank a large glass of water, then he told them,
"I went to several places today and I fell in love with a house in the new city area in the east of the city. There is a house for sale among the old houses. It has two floors with independent small courtyards. The structure looks good from the outside. The most important thing is that the geographical environment is good. I can grow vegetables and flowers in the courtyard and raise fish."
"What you said sounds good, but how much does the other party want?" Su Jinxia poured another glass of water for her father.
"The other party doesn't want money, which is quite suitable for us. What they want is gold bars, and they want 5 of them!" Su Beilu sat on the stool.
Su An brought a bowl of noodles to the table.
"Why gold bars?"
"They said that the gold bars can be easily taken out, and they are going abroad." Su Beilu drank another half glass of water and saw the appetizing fried noodles with soybean paste, which were covered with a thick layer of minced meat. "Dad, are you unable to prepare this? You put so much meat in it?"
Su An chuckled, "I just wanted to give Xia Xia some nourishment, and we can also eat meat at the same time."
Su Beilu took a few big mouthfuls of noodles, but felt that it was not tasty enough, so he added some chili oil to it and continued eating.
Su Jinxia, "They want 5 gold bars. I think I can bargain a little bit. Did they tell me why they are in such a hurry to go abroad?"
Su Beilu swallowed the noodles in his mouth and said, "I asked, and the owner said he was in a hurry to leave. If we can book it, we can go over and book it earlier, and then go with us to handle the transfer procedures, and we can also give gold bars."
Su Jinxia thought the opportunity was not to be missed, "Then let's go look at the house together this afternoon, and then come back to discuss it."
"Okay, that's what I mean." Su Beilu finished the noodles in the bowl in big mouthfuls, and went to the kitchen to get another bowl.
"It's still better to eat meat sauce!"
Su Jinxia, "We can't eat meat all the time. We don't have many meat coupons. We can only eat meat in the next ten days or half a month. I'm thinking about exchanging some meat coupons. I also need to arrange for eggs at home. We have to eat at least two eggs a day."
Subei Road, "Later I'll ask someone who has more meat coupons to exchange with him. Eggs are hard to buy, but you can ask. After all, some families are reluctant to eat eggs. If they can be given more food coupons, they are still willing to exchange them for food."
After finishing their meal, they set off and took a car all the way to the old house.
Looking at the big red gate and the stone lions, it gives the impression of a wealthy family. The house is very tall, half a meter taller than the houses on the left and right.
Su Beilu knocked on the door vigorously and said, "I wonder if anyone is here this afternoon."
Su Jinxia looked at the big tree not far away. It was a willow tree that must be at least thirty or forty years old, big and tall.
I knocked for a while but no one came out.
Su Beilu muttered, "Where did the strange man go?"
Su Jinxia looked up at the sun in the sky and said, "It's too hot. Let's go under the shade of the trees so we can see when someone comes back."
If I can't find anyone by sunset, I'll come back tomorrow."
Su Beilu nodded, and then followed his daughter to the shade of the tree.
Four or five large rocks were placed side by side, and cigarette butts and melon seed shells were scattered on the ground.
"It seems like there are a lot of people chatting here." Su Jinxia took out a water bottle from her bag, drank several gulps in one breath, and then gave it to her grandfather.
"Drink some, don't get a heat stroke."
Su An took a big sip of water and the heat in his body dissipated a little.
"I've been to this place before. I worked for a family not far away. I think the family's surname is Bai."
"Indeed, his surname is Bai." Su Beilu took the water bottle handed to him by his grandfather and took a big sip. He wiped the water stains from the corners of his mouth with his wrist. "When we were chatting this morning, I heard the one with the surname Bai say that their ancestors had a number one scholar in the imperial examination and were from a family of scholars."
Su An laughed, "If that's the case, one of our ancestors was also an official, but he fell into decline later. I remember he was called the Minister of Justice!"
Su Jinxia looked at her grandfather and asked, "Why haven't I heard you say this before?"
"What can I say? Our family isn't doing very well right now. It would be embarrassing for our ancestors if I said it out loud." Su An said with a smile, "As the old saying goes, wealth can't last more than three generations. We are relying on you for this generation. Your father and I are really useless."
"Grandpa, don't say that. People are equal, you and dad have done a great job. It's up to me to do the rest. I will bring honor to our family!"
"Okay, okay!" Su An smiled happily.
Subei Road thought that there was news from the railway that they could arrange for their family members to work there.
"By the way, Xia Xia, what are you going to do next? Are you going to study or something?"
Su Jinxia, "Let's see. I haven't made up my mind yet."
"It's like this. I heard that the company can recruit a group of employees. If you want to work, I can ask the leader to arrange it for you." Su Beilu felt that since his daughter worked on the railway and he also worked on the railway, it would be convenient for him to take care of her. So he decided to find a son-in-law who worked on the railway in the future.
This kind of job is considered a stable job.
"I won't go to work on the railway. I have my own plans. You will know when the time comes." Su Jinxia thought of the news at this time in her last life. In order to let Su Mingyue work on the railway, Xiao Ying made trouble and sent her to the countryside as an educated youth.
In her previous life, she met two good sisters when she was a sent-down youth. With their help, she was admitted to university. If she had not been locked up in the cellar, her life would have been wonderful.
She went to college to complete her heart knot. God gave her a second chance, so she must make up for her regrets. One of her friends even had one eye damaged because of her, so she must avenge him!
