Chapter 98 Strange Ancient Head "Su...brother, thank you."
Ran Qiuye said, jumped out of the car and planned to enter the yard.
She would never stand at the door and watch Su Mu go.
That would be too awkward, like a young couple.
"Wait a moment."
Su Mu called out to Ran Qiuye.
I got out of the car and took out two fish from the bucket.
Not the biggest, not the smallest.
He handed the two fish tied with hemp rope to Ran Qiuye's hands.
Just like last time.
Grabbing Ran Qiuye's hand, he placed the hemp rope on the palm of her hand.
He also curled up her fingers very naturally.
When the skin touches it, there is a softness and a slight coolness. Anyway, the sapphire wood feels quite comfortable.
Ran Qiuye came back to his senses only after Su Mu rode away.
He looked down at the two fish and bit his lower lip lightly with his teeth.
At this moment, she was still a little confused. She didn't think about how the fish fished out of the bucket had been tied up with hemp rope in advance. Holding the hemp rope in his hand, he felt the weight of the two fish falling.
Ran Qiuye stood at the door of the courtyard for a while, then turned around and walked into the courtyard.
Just now I was thinking that I must not stand at the door and watch the other person leave.
Who would have known that he didn't act according to common sense, and he was confused again.
But unexpectedly, it looked like she was watching the other person leave...
A little shy, a little annoyed.
But it's not a big amount. It's much better than the last time when I was aggrieved and cried under the quilt.
It is enough to show that Ran Qiuye's adaptability is quite good.
Back in the backyard.
"It looks like your dad got a good harvest."
Ran's mother said in surprise.
Both of them like to eat fish.
I ate it once last time, but today I am so happy that I can continue to eat it, which makes me unhappy.
"Dad didn't catch this..."
Ran Qiuye sighed for a long time and murmured.
Ran's mother was startled.
"Um...could it be that this time, it's still the same young man?"
Ran Qiuye bit her lower lip and nodded.
It can be seen that my daughter nodded with some hesitation.
"Meet him on the way back?"
"He was sitting next to my dad, and he was also fishing. But when I arrived, he was already packing up and leaving."
"Isn't your dad also fishing? Why did you accept the fish he gave me? Ye Zi, you have fallen in love with me too..."
Ran's mother didn't look down on Deng Sanlun's job.
The main reason is that my daughter is still young, not to mention not of legal age for marriage, and she still has to wait for her school registration to be transferred in September to go to school.
This kind of cultural learning must not be delayed.
"No way! It's just...just..."
Ran Qiuye hesitated and said nothing.
There were two or three small fish in my father's bucket, but they didn't look like enough to make a pot of soup.
Witnessed a young man who was more capable at fishing than his father.
How could she say this as a daughter?
After all, this girl Ran Qiuye is very filial.
Ran Mu chuckled.
She knows her daughter, Mo Ruomu, and she also knows something about her husband's situation.
Seeing the girl hesitate like this, I immediately understood the reason.
"Hey, this person is not omnipotent. There are always things he is good at and things he is not good at. Ye Zi, can you steam it and eat it at night?"
"Ah."
……
Su Mu bid farewell to Ran Qiuye and rode back around.
He must go to Xijixiang Alley this time.
Xijixiang Hutong is located on the south side of Di'anmen Street. It is a north-south dead end and does not lead to Di'anmen Street.
It has only one exit, Dong Jixiang Hutong, which is connected to the south.
Jixiang Hutong used to be a place where eunuchs lived outside the palace.
Since the Qianlong period, this place has been called Jixiang Hutong, and it is still in use today.
Because eunuchs cannot get married, the word 'great joy' is taboo, so the word auspiciousness is mostly used by eunuchs.
Before and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, eunuchs and maids sent out from the palace also gathered in Xijixiang Hutong.
As for Dongjixiang Hutong, the only exit, most of it is a staff dormitory requisitioned by Yenching University.
It was here before the founding of the People's Republic of China, and it has not been adjusted since the founding of the People's Republic of China. It has been used like this.
Turn a corner from Cihui Hutong and you will arrive at East Jixiang Hutong. Go straight in and come to West Jixiang Hutong. When you go to the innermost part, you will turn left and you will find a concave dead end with a depth of only four or five meters.
There is only one door on the left.
This is the home of the old head.
Su Mu got out of the car and knocked on the door.
"coming."
The person who opened the door was a woman with gray hair and a soft southern accent in her voice.
Su Mu was a little ashamed.
In fact, he thought the old man was a living eunuch.
It is said that there are actually many eunuchs alive in the capital these days.
It's just that Su Mu is unlucky and has never seen him before.
I had a few chats with Gutou before. Hearing his shrill voice and living in Xijixiang Hutong, I thought he was this kind of incomplete person.
It's really a bit abrupt.
But luckily I didn't show it, let alone ask about it.
It’s not too late to correct your mentality at this time.
There is a rhythm to the woman's walking, and just looking at her back, Su Mu feels very pleasing to the eye.
If it weren't for the coarse clothes he was wearing.
Su Mu would definitely not think that the other party was an ordinary old woman.
The shape of this yard is very strange.
Although there is only one door, it is more like three separate courtyards connected together.
Perhaps because of a quick glance, Su Mu didn't pay attention. In fact, there should be traces of long-term transformation on the opposite wall.
It turns out there is a door there.
Not only is there a door on the opposite wall, but there is also a small door in the recess directly opposite.
But it was obscured by piles of debris.
But the bluestone pavement inside can still be distinguished from the old and new.
The old man lived on the northernmost side, that is, he came in from the south door, walked around in a big circle, and arrived at the courtyard with the blocked door on the far right.
The yard looked huge, but it was obvious that only these two people lived there.
There is no trace of children.
This made Su Mu couldn't help but have the same thoughts as before.
"My little friend, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
The old man was wearing a long gown, and his hair was sparse but meticulously styled.
Su Mu instantly felt the fact that he was respected.
It may be that the environment and the other party's conversation made Su Mu PUA.
Su Mu unexpectedly raised his hand and saluted.
I don't know if it's right or wrong, I can't tell whether the left hand is in front or the right hand is making a fist.
Anyway, when you get the idea, don’t worry about the details.
The old man laughed and welcomed Sumu into the house.
The room is full of solid wood furniture.
When Su Mu stepped in, he had a sense of déjà vu as he walked into Hengdian Film and Television City.
He couldn't help but stand in awe.
If you can survive that period of time, the items in this house will be worth your money.
Well, this is all Su Mu's guess.
Because he didn't know anything about antiques and these solid wood furniture.
"How's your luck this afternoon, little friend? Can you have some more fish with me?"
The old woman came back in, carrying a long-spout pot in her hand, and skillfully poured water for Gutou and Sumu.
There is a refreshing it's not tea scent.
The aroma of roasted barley tea.
These days, you may not always be full when you eat, but you still have the thought of making tea with wheat...
"It's all inventory from before, I don't dare to waste it like this now."
Gutou is a good person. He can guess what the other person is thinking by looking at Su Mu's eyes and expressions.
"Ancient, are you interested in meat such as hares and pheasants?"
The old man's eyes lit up.
Interested, of course interested.
Eating white meat is a no-brainer, but it is better than eating no meat at all.
It would be a pleasant surprise if we could get game meat.
"Little friend, as long as you can get it, I want as much as you can..."
"I'm just trying my best, but the price is just that. As you know, supplies are in short supply now, and the risk of Orions entering the mountains is actually much higher than before."
"Yes, almost all the wild beasts in the outer areas are extinct. We have to go into the deep mountains and old forests."
Gu Gu is actually a very thoughtful person.
"Don't worry, little friend, as long as you can get it, I won't treat you badly."
As he said that, he winked at the old woman who sat down on the chair at the door after pouring the tea.
Not long after the old woman left, she came back again.
In front of Su Mu, he took out a small yellow croaker and handed it to Gutou.
Gutou turned his hand and put it on the table. He put two fingers on the little yellow croaker and pushed it to Su Mu.
"Little friend, this one should be used as a deposit."
There is nothing the old man can do.
He is a martial arts practitioner who relies on eating meat to replenish his energy and blood.
If the supply of meat is cut off, even if you stop exercising, your qi and blood will continue to pour out like a flush toilet. If you cannot suppress it, you will die from both blood and qi.
And if there is an adequate supply of meat, through daily exercise and adjustment, you can prolong your life with sufficient Qi and blood.
This kind of internal martial arts is different from killing techniques. It belongs to the category of health-preserving Taoism, but it is more killing than Taoism.
When I was young, I was lucky enough to get this opportunity after many rounds of selection.
To this day, no abnormal aging has been observed.
Su Mu didn't ask about his age, thinking that he was just an old man in his sixties.
But in fact, Gutou was already over eighty years old. If anyone else had been around, he would have been an old man with limited mobility.
But his old state is just due to the fact that he has stopped eating meat and has aged in these two months.
If Su Mu had just met Gutou when he traveled through time, he might have called him Uncle Gu.
He has white hair but looks like a rosy-faced man in his fifties.
Su Mu was a little confused.
He didn't even believe his eyes.
Although the price of gold is not currently market-oriented, according to the unified national pricing, the price at this moment this year is also around 36 yuan.
One small yellow croaker is grams.
This is a super invincible leek.
……
When Su Mu came out of Gutou's house, he left all the fish caught in the bucket in the car with him.
There is a small yellow croaker in the bottom, but these fish are nothing.
Su Mu pedaled three wheels with more energy.
After a while, we returned to the courtyard.
The little yellow croaker was already lying on the bedside table of the master bedroom on the second floor of the space villa.
Absolutely solid.
Su Mu returned to the courtyard and entered the hanging flower gate carrying a bucket.
He looked specifically at the west wing and found that Yan Bugui on the other side had not returned yet.
Usually after Uncle Yan comes back from fishing, the pile of things will usually be placed under the eaves, and the third aunt will help clean them up.
There is no movement now. Those two guys must be fishing at night.
This is too obsessive.
Can't stand it.
All the fish in the bucket were given to the ancient head.
The old man spent thousands of dollars to buy horse bones just to catch Sumu.
Maybe the less you suffer, the less you suffer.
Although compared with life, small yellow croakers are nothing, even big yellow croakers are willing to give up.
You can catch more, and if the sumu runs away, the loss will be less.
Human nature.
Su Mu left all the fish he caught to Gutou.
But there are a lot of fish in the space, and any consciousness can replace it with another bucket.
"Brother, sister-in-law, we caught some fish today, let's see what we do with them."
Su Yingjun and Li Xiaolan came out.
If you have some Hexian food at home, you must come out and take a look.
Su Mu saw that there was another person beside them.
A young man with a Chinese character face.
It's Xu Damao.
"Brother Damao, long time no see."
Sumu said hello.
He knew Xu Damao in the past.
Xu Damao was the only one who smiled at Su Mu.
Although we don’t interact much, we can meet and say hello and say a few words.
Based on his behavior and character analysis in the yard, Su Mu found it quite strange.
However, he was unable to protect himself at that time and did not delve into it.
On the contrary, Xu Damao had little interaction with Su Shengli.
After Su Mu traveled through time, he felt that Xu Damao looked down on Su Shengli.
I don't know why.
"Yes, I just finished my training. As soon as I came back, I heard that Brother Jun was back. I didn't even go back home, so I came here directly."
Xu Damao called Su Yingjun Junge, which was full of enthusiasm.
It seems that the two have had contact before.
Could it be that Xu Damao, like Liu Guangqi, was his eldest brother's former lackey? "Come in, come in, haha, just as I was talking about you, you came back with some food and wine."
Su Yingjun greeted with a smile.
Li Xiaolan stopped going into the house. She was going to the kitchen to make another fish dish.
Sumu understood.
Without handing over, he just carried the bucket directly to the kitchen for his sister-in-law.
Go back to the house.
I saw plates already placed on the table.
There was sauced pork, peanuts, and two plates of dishes that looked like they were made by my sister-in-law.
There are four dishes, including hard dishes and side dishes, and there is a bottle of Laofen wine on the table.
It seems that this is a feeling that needs to be created fiercely.
"Brother, we haven't had a drink together yet. Brother, I didn't do my job well before. I have to apologize to you today..."
Xu Damao's attitude at this time was completely different from the past.
Not restrained at all, very open.
"Look what you said, Brother Damao, you were the only one who greeted me with a smile in this whole yard. I remember it all."
The sedan chairs are carried by everyone.
What's more, Xu Damao and Su Shengli were not the same people before, and there was no conflict with him. On the contrary, he had the best attitude.
"Brother Jun, oh, brother, I'm ashamed. Mu Mu said that, and I... didn't say anything. Today I must punish myself."
Xu Damao picked up the wine glass, tilted his neck and drank half of the glass in one gulp.
This is just one or two drinks.
Su Mu raised his eyebrows.
If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have served it.
It seems that Xu Damao's drinking capacity is comparable to those in the army compound. Is he going to drink too much tonight? A little regret.
Looking at Su Yingjun, he saw that he pursed his lips, trying to suppress a smile, and shook his head slightly at Su Mu.
Su Mu was a little confused, but he still picked up the wine glass, filled it for Xu Damao, and poured half of the glass for himself.
"Mumu, if you go to the rolling mill for movies from now on, my brother will reserve a seat for you. Brother Jun, if you and your sister-in-law go too, I will definitely reserve the best seats for you..."
Xu Damao patted his chest and promised.
Next, the three grown men started talking loudly during the drinking party.
