"I can't get out."
***
"I know Xiao Yuan! He and I are very familiar with each other!" The old lady's accent sounded strange, and I didn't know if it was local.
So Jin Suting asked, "Auntie, you are not from this place, are you?"
The old lady replied, "No! I married here from the next county!"
Jin Suting nodded to show that she understood. The old lady continued, "Look, Xiao Yuan's yard is over there!"
Looking at the direction the old lady pointed, it was not far away.
Helan Ruizhe and Jin Suting thanked the old lady and went over there.
The gate to the yard was a small bamboo door that opened easily with a push and was not locked.
The most eye-catching thing when you walk in is the well. It is a medium-sized courtyard with only one room and a small thatched hut next to it.
The first question Jin Suting asked after settling down was, "Isn't there a kitchen here?"
After searching everywhere, they couldn't find anything. Finally, they found a pot and a stove in a makeshift shed behind the toilet.
It can barely be called a kitchen.
When you enter the room, there is a table for eating at the entrance. To the left is a bed. There is a wardrobe next to the bed, but it is very small. To the right is a desk.
It looked like no one had lived here for a long time. Dust was all over the floor and there was a lot of dust on the table. Helan Ruizhe took the initiative to take responsibility for cleaning the house.
Jin Suting naturally went to tinker with her kitchen and didn't notice that there was not even a place to dress in the house.
The place we lived in to facilitate the investigation seemed a bit shabby.
It’s just an incognito visit, there’s nothing wrong with being a little incognito.
Jin Suting was fine. She had gotten used to the wild life in Muhan Pavilion over the past three years and had even lived in a cave.
I'm just worried that Helan Ruizhe won't be able to adapt, after all, he has been pampered since he was a child.
"Don't do this."
Jin Suting stopped Helan Ruizhe who was about to fetch water. How could he do such a job?
"It's very simple, I can do it." Helan Ruizhe put the bucket down easily, and in no time a bucket of water came up.
Jin Suting actually underestimated him, "I didn't expect you to be so capable."
They fetched water and wiped the kitchen and furniture in the house. It was very cold in winter. Helan Ruizhe didn't let Jin Suting touch water, but he almost got frostbite on his hands.
Fortunately, when Jin Suting was cleaning the kitchen, she found a bag of charcoal there and lit a fire to warm the house.
It’s a pity that my face was smoked when I was making the fire, and it turned into a big black face.
She realized that there was no mirror in the room. Helan Ruizhe wanted to help her buy one, but Jin Suting thought it was troublesome and said she would go tomorrow. She would use some water to look at herself first.
But now there are no ingredients here, so there is no dinner tonight.
When I was about to go out to the street, I suddenly heard a chicken crowing in the yard.
Jin Suting: "Did you hear that?"
Helan Ruizhe: "I heard it."
Jin Suting was surprised: "Yuan Jing also raises chickens?!"
Helan Ruizhe: "..."
“Maybe it’s a personal hobby.”
Then they found the hen laying eggs and her clutch of eggs next to the toilet.
Now dinner is taken care of.
The two rolled up their sleeves and started catching chickens.
"Helan Ruizhe, block it over there!"
"Hey, be quiet, don't startle it!"
Jin Suting was giving orders right away, and Helan Ruizhe was chasing chickens all over the yard. They were trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
Got the eggs!
