Chapter 224 Black Hole 37
Chapter 224 Black Hole 37
The next morning, before the sun came out, maybe because he had something on his mind, Rice woke up.
He turned around and saw that Huazhi was still sleeping soundly, so he got up quietly, made a straw basket with the grass, and reluctantly fetched some water from the well to rinse his mouth and clean his face.
Hua Zhi turned around and occupied the entire door panel, sleeping even more soundly.
In order not to disturb Hua Zhi's sleep, Rice followed Hua Zhi's example and went out from the back door of the kitchen.
Rice has its own way. He is going to get some food and tools. He has to fix the grass and door today, otherwise others may come and occupy it.
Huazhi slept until the sun came up, then got up and called Huami, but no one answered. After searching around this small shabby house again, I saw no one. It seemed that she went out without reporting just like she did yesterday.
Okay, Hua Zhi thought that this was what she did yesterday and she couldn't blame others, so she picked up the straw basket next to the well, fetched some water, rinsed her mouth and face, and climbed out from the back kitchen wall.
Hua Zhi looked at the sun and judged the direction. The city gate should be open now, and she wanted to take a look in the wild.
The shabby house was very close to the city wall, and it was still in a very remote place. She walked along the city wall for a long time before reaching the city gate.
She didn't bring anything, she was alone, and she looked poor, so she left the city smoothly.
After leaving the city, Hua Zhi first looked for a river. After asking all the way, she finally found a river.
She looked at the river with confusion on her face, why did she subconsciously come here? What is so special about the river?
The river was not very deep, and there were fish and shrimps. Hua Zhi wanted to catch some, but he couldn't catch anything. The shrimps were also very cunning. In the end, Hua Zhi, who was in a panic, had to pretend that he was just here to take a bath.
The clothes had also been washed and were hanging on a tree to dry. Her hair was still dripping with water.
Finally, after her clothes were dried, she caught a small handful of shrimps. The fish were too small, and the fry were only a few days old. Where could they eat them?
She was so hungry that she felt dizzy, so she didn't dare to eat raw food directly. Instead, she found some wild fruits to satisfy her hunger. She was lucky because the wild fruits she found were non-toxic and tasted pretty good.
With a cushion on his belly, Hua Zhi put on his clothes, packed the shrimps and wild fruits on the broad leaves, braved the scorching sun, entered the city, and then returned to the small shabby house.
Half of the door of the small shabby house has been installed, and there is a blessing sign on it that seems to be unwanted by others, but there is only one blessing, not the other side.
Hua Zhi looked at the closed door and didn't dare to push it. She was afraid that the door would be broken. Didn't she let Mi Mi down by repairing the door?
So he went around to the back kitchen and climbed in through the wall.
As soon as Hua Zhi entered the house, she saw a desk with two legs missing. The two missing legs were supported by two wooden sticks, but they were still usable.
The table is not dirty, it must have been washed.
Huazhi called out, but no one answered. She went to the front and took a look. The grass had not moved, and it was still the same as yesterday.
Hua Zhi carefully placed the wild fruits on the table, walked to the eaves outside the door, chose a relatively clean place with sunlight, laid out the shrimps, and dried them in the sun.
As soon as Hua Zhi arranged the shrimps, she heard movement in the kitchen, and soon, the figure of rice appeared.
When Mi Mi saw Hua Zhi, he immediately said, "You're back." Seeing her squatting on the ground with something in front of her, he walked over to her and took a look, his pupils dilated, "Went to the river?!"
Hua Zhi raised her head and looked at him: "I'm going. It's too hard to catch fish, so I only caught these shrimps. There are some wild fruits on the table in the house, you can eat them."
Mi Mi looked at Hua Zhi, who looked calm and showed no sign of fear at all. The words came out of his mouth: "Are you not afraid of water anymore?"
Huazhi:? ? ?
When had she been afraid of water?
"Are you really not afraid of water anymore?"
Hua Zhi rolled his eyes: "When have I ever been afraid of water? It took me a long time to see this shrimp. You should wash it when you are free. After taking a bath, wear clean clothes. Only then will you be like He’s a family man.”
Rice scratched his head, indicating that he understood.
"Come, eat."
Rice took out a small bag from his arms, a clean snack wrapped in oil paper, which seemed to be Songsongzhai's sweet-scented osmanthus cake. Usually, there would be eight pieces in this kind of package.
"Where did you get this? We have money?"
Rice sat down next to her: "Where did the money come from? I am lucky. A young man bought this thing as a gift to a beautiful woman. The beautiful woman was not willing to accept it, so she just threw it to me, a little beggar."
Hua Zhi turned to look at him and found no trace of being beaten, so she felt relieved.
"I wasn't beaten, and I wasn't robbed by that silly boy. He wasn't there at the time. That maid sister is such a good person. She just threw it into my arms without anyone seeing it."
After the rice was tied with a rope, he wanted to eat it directly, but Hua Zhi slapped him: "Go and wash your hands before eating."
Rice looked at the soft and glutinous osmanthus cake and swallowed: "Oh."
The two of them took the pastry and went directly to the kitchen, and continued to use the straw basket to fetch water. Because the leaves were wilted, fetching the water was more difficult than when they woke up in the morning, but fetching it a few times was enough for them to wash their hands. Clean.
The two of them did not go to the front of the house, but went directly to the open space in the back kitchen to finish the sweet-scented osmanthus cake.
The rice tastes smacking, so I obviously want to eat it again. Huazhi thought it tasted good, and it was enough to eat just a few pieces, and she even felt a little tired.
"There is fruit on the table, go and eat the fruit."
The two moved to the main room again, squatting beside the desk and eating wild fruits. Huazhi didn't eat much, only took a small one, chewed it carefully and held it in her mouth for a while before swallowing it. The greasy feeling after eating the pastry was gone.
After finishing eating, Hua Zhi said to Rice: "I will continue to help out at the small restaurant in the afternoon and will not come back until evening. You wait for me and I will bring dinner back and we will eat together."
Rice responded and told him his itinerary. First get a tool to get rid of the grass, and then get a wooden bucket to draw water.
Hua Zhi told him to get the wooden bucket first, and he had to take a bath. People should clean themselves up, and good luck will come.
Rice thought it made sense and agreed.
Hua Zhi looked at the time and went out. As a result, when they arrived at the small restaurant, the proprietress went against her promise, saying that she didn't need help anymore and asked Huazhi to go elsewhere.
Hua Zhi was a little frustrated, but she needed to eat and live her life, so she asked again and again, until she got to the first restaurant she asked about yesterday.
Maybe it was her luck that the manager of the restaurant happened to come out of the back door.
Hua Zhi looked quite upright and clean. It was probably the first time for the person in charge to encounter this kind of situation. He felt it was strange, so he called a waiter and asked him to bring several steamed buns to Hua Zhi, and even kept a guest uneaten. Give her the finished roasted chicken.
Hua Zhi felt embarrassed at first, thinking about helping to wash some dishes and dishes before taking them. The person in charge felt that it was more refreshing, but still did not let her help wash the dishes and let her go directly.
Huazhi was very grateful and said some auspicious words to the person in charge before leaving.
After getting the Huazhi to eat, I immediately returned to the hut. When I returned, the door was open and Rice was weeding.
Huazhi shouted to him happily: "Huami! I'm back, look what I brought back!"
When Mi Mi heard Hua Zhi's voice, he stopped what he was doing and looked at Hua Zhi.
"Why are you back? Are you finished with the business at the restaurant?"
Hua Zhi walked up to Mi Mi and explained to him: "No, the restaurant owner's wife was not busy today. She could do it alone, so she didn't ask me to help. It's not like I met a kind person. Look, he gave me Five big steamed buns and a roast chicken."
The rice smelled of roasted chicken, and my already hungry stomach suddenly growled.
"Let's eat first. After eating, rest for a while, and I'll pull weeds with you. Let's take care of this piece of weed first, and then solve other problems."
"Ah."
The two of them sat behind the door, eating roast chicken and steamed buns, and had a hearty meal.
