Chapter 258: The House is Empty



However, the main purpose of coming this time was to let Bailu see Yingchun. Besides, it seemed that Bailu didn't plan to let her sister know that she was here, and didn't want to have too much communication with her right away, otherwise she wouldn't have chosen to come and see her so early. Therefore, we couldn't stay too long. After Bailu finished looking, we immediately took her back to the house to rest.

Perhaps her heart knot was untied a lot, or perhaps what Yingchun said was right. After all, Song Bailu still thought that family members should keep their own opinions, so she would not be too angry or resentful towards Yingchun. Since that day, her health began to slowly improve. In addition, Yingchun really did as she said and sent her Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng a few days later. These precious medicinal materials also helped her a lot.

In addition, Yunwen took care of her meticulously, accompanying her when she walked or moved, or talking and chatting with her. The physical and psychological rehabilitation went well. Therefore, after nearly another week, Bailu's body basically recovered. She herself felt embarrassed to have Yunwen and I take care of her inside and out during this period of time. After she recovered a lot, she started to resume work as soon as possible.

During these seven days, what we all did was basically the same as before, so there's nothing much to say. But today, a week later, the potatoes placed in a humid place have sprouted. I kept six potatoes at the beginning, and now the six potatoes are cut into pieces. Some can be cut into four pieces, and some can be cut into six pieces. On average, I can plant more than 30 plants.

Since it was almost done, I went to the backyard, tidied up the turned soil, and then started digging holes for planting. The row spacing was about one step. I am tall, so this step is about more than 70 centimeters, which is just right. The plant distance was one palm's distance, which is just right. This piece of land is quite large, six wide and five long, and there is still a large piece of land left, at least one acre, which is enough to move the next batch of wheat over.

After planting, I used an iron bucket to get groundwater from the ground and irrigated the seeds one by one. Then I took the fermented fertilizer and poured it into the soil one by one, so that they could grow better next year and bear more fruits.

Bai Lu is now able to move around, so she helps Yun Wen with washing clothes, stewing medicine, cooking, mopping the floor, and tidying up. Bai Lu is the main worker, and after a few times, the two of them quickly made the entire castle bright and clean, and the entire first floor looked like a new house. Originally, this was where wealthy people lived, but they were in a hurry these days and had no time to tinker with it. Now that Bai Lu is ready, and has cleaned up this place, she really feels like a rich family's kid.

There are cowhide sofas, ceiling candle lamps, a long European-style dining table, six or seven leather dining chairs, animal skin carpets, and some famous oil paintings on the wall. It is full of a Renaissance style and that Western sense of dignity. There are also many ornaments and some plaster statues. After being designed and arranged by Bai Lu and her friends, it has already revealed its strong retro elegance.

In addition, all the huge floor-to-ceiling windows were wiped clean, so the room did not look dark when the curtains were opened during the day. Once the room was clean and bright, the feeling of the entire castle was very different. The original feeling was like entering a vampire's lair, but now it was like visiting the home of some wealthy family.

Not only that, according to Yunwen's memory, March had already passed, spring was in full swing, and flowers began to bloom all around. The two of them went out for a while and collected quite a few flowers to put in the porcelain vase here, and the room was filled with fragrance. In addition, no one had noticed before that there was a piano in the corner, but it was covered by a black curtain. After Yunwen uncovered it, she casually played a gentle and beautiful piano piece.

For those of us who are accustomed to the natural sounds of the wild world, this piece of music only felt the lingering sound, and a myriad of thoughts were aroused in our hearts, as if the soul was touched by the sound of the piano. For a moment, we had mixed feelings. After listening carefully, we stood there for a long time without moving.

Music, sculptures, paintings, etc. are all representative symbols of the Renaissance. Today really felt like traveling back hundreds of years, and I had a wonderful experience of aristocratic Europe.

The kitchen was also cleaned up, and things were put back in order. The usable ones were kept for the time being, and the unusable ones had to be put into the storage room for the time being. A relatively suitable iron pot was found, and the rusty parts were scraped off layer by layer with a dinner knife. Then they were boiled in boiling water. I went to the kitchen to find some brushes and brushed them. By repeating these three methods, the rust could be removed and the pot could be restored to normal temporarily.

This also took us a lot of effort, but it is convenient to have a pot. No matter what ingredients we cook, it is much more convenient than using a porcelain pot. Besides, eating baked food every meal will cause too much heat, so we prefer to eat it the Chinese way, which is more in line with our taste.

Finally, we all cleaned up some interesting things in the storage room and found an old sewing machine. Although it was old, the workmanship was really good. It was a hand-cranked type, and Yunwen liked it very much.

After the house was cleaned up, everyone felt much better. However, it was already evening when we finished. Bai Lu volunteered to prepare a delicious meal for us to celebrate the fact that we had escaped life and death and overcome the difficulties.

So, for the first time in so many days since the accident, Yunwen and I didn’t have to do anything but wait at the dinner table. It was a rare moment of leisure.

The candle lamps on the ceiling were lowered and lit up, and then raised again, and the whole room had a visual sense that the night was as bright as the day, and Bai Lu could be heard busying around in the kitchen. There were not many ingredients left, except for the wild mushrooms and vegetables that had been picked recently, there were black fungus, and there were only two or three potatoes left, as well as repeatedly boiled medicinal soup, and a crab leg that Yingchun had sent. She probably couldn't handle it herself, so she gave it to us to eat. It was so big, and I guess it was a killer crab.

Soon there was a lot of noise in the kitchen. Not long after, a bowl of stewed vegetables in medicinal soup, a plate of cold-mixed black fungus, baked crab meat and special mashed potatoes were placed on the long table. It really felt like entering a French restaurant. The aroma was fragrant and extremely tempting.

Unfortunately, there were no chopsticks, so we had to use a silver whistle for now. But before we ate, I saw that Bai Lu seemed a little absent-minded, and I thought she was sick again. Just as I was about to say something, Yunwen pulled me back and whispered in my ear, "Such a luxurious meal, and she specifically said it was a celebratory meal. If it's a celebratory meal, how could there be no one? She was worried that she couldn't mention Yingchun, and wanted us to mention it."

Yunwen was careful and almost understood it, so she made a mistake.

Indeed, it has been left out to dry for so many days, and Yingchun has provided a lot of food recently. No matter where it came from, it was a token of her kindness to us. She also asked about her sister's life. Besides, if it weren't for her tonic, Bailu would not have recovered so quickly. Therefore, we should invite her to the celebratory banquet to offset the grudges.

Otherwise, eating the food she sent but not having a seat at the banquet would be a bit unreasonable, so I mentioned it: "Bai Lu, you see, you are in better health now and not so fragile. How about I call Yingchun over, and we can have a meal together and chat for a while. As for whether you want to forgive her and how we should deal with her, we can discuss it together after the meal and see if Yingchun's attitude has changed when she comes again in the near future. What do you think?"

These words really made her eyes sparkle. She quickly said, "Yes, yes, that's right. I think Brother Zhou Bo's arrangement is very good. What do you think, Sister Yunwen?"

"I agree. She has been punished. We can't just keep her out forever. Just like Zhou Bo said, let's see how she admits her mistakes and then we'll make a decision." Yunwen said.

However, Bai Lu looked nervous and excited. Perhaps she was not mentally prepared, after all, she was hurt too badly that time.

But after a moment, she made up her mind and asked us to accompany her to invite Yingchun.

But when I got outside, I saw that Yingchun's house was dark without any fire...
