Chen: "Your family?" Ling Chen was taken aback, "That...... Then how could I be in your house?"

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Someone entrusted you to me and asked me to help take care of you." Look at your appearance, you should be recovering well, come, eat something first, and help me repair the house later, I haven't lived in it for so many years, and this house can't live anymore. ”

Seeing the steamed buns and water brought by the middle-aged man, Ling Chen couldn't care about being polite, he hadn't eaten or drunk for a few days, and his stomach was already hungry. In less than two strokes, Ling Chen finished gnawing five steamed buns, drank the water, Ling Chen wiped his mouth, and said with satisfaction: "Uncle, thank you!"

"You're welcome. ”

"Uncle, I don't know what your name is?"

"My name is Yao Zhensheng, you can just call me Uncle Yao. ”

"Uncle Yao, can you tell me who entrusted me to you?" Ling Chen asked curiously. He wondered who had rescued him from the basement.

"I'm sorry. Yao Zhensheng shook his head and said, "I can't answer this question to you." I promised that I would never reveal his identity. In short, you just need to know that that person has no ill will towards you. After speaking, without waiting for Ling Chen to ask anything more, Yao Zhensheng patted the weeds on his buttocks, stood up and said, "Okay, since you are full, then come over and help, if we don't fix the house today, we won't have a place to live at night." ”

"That...... Uncle Yao, can I give my family a call? I've been in an accident for so many days, and my family must be in a hurry. ”

"Don't worry, it's going to be fine. Yao Zhensheng took care of himself and set up an escalator, carried the straw to the roof, and began to repair the roof.

Ling Chen stood aside and looked, then turned his gaze around, except for the rice fields, there were no other buildings within a hundred meters around. After hesitating for a moment, Ling Chen still decided to help Yao Zhensheng. Anyway, Yao Zhensheng knew the person who saved him. In addition, he has a lot of doubts, and he hopes to get answers from Yao Zhensheng.

Seeing Ling Chen climb onto the roof, the smile on Yao Zhensheng's face suddenly became bright, and he seemed to be very happy.

It took Ling Chen and Yao Zhensheng a full two hours to finish repairing the entire roof and covering it with a new layer of straw. In addition, they also made a lot of wood and cut it into flat planks to seal all the ventilation areas of the house. However, although the house has been renovated, the furniture in the house cannot be made, and it looks very shabby.

Looking at Yao Zhensheng's appearance, he was very satisfied. "Let's go, I'll take you to get something to eat, it's been a hard afternoon, how can you treat yourself. ”

At that moment, Ling Chen didn't care about resting, and quickly followed Yao Zhensheng and walked towards the mountain north of the rice field. Up the mountain, Ling Chen walked all the way and found a lot of hares and pheasants. There is quite a lot of game on this mountain.

Yao Zhensheng broke a few branches from the tree, sharpened the top with a knife, made a few simple javelins, and then handed them to Ling Chen, "I heard that your kung fu is good, so I will leave this hunting matter to you." ”

Ling Chen nodded and happily agreed. In a short time, Ling Chen shot several hares and pheasants through the javelin. With the harvest of game, the two returned with a full load and returned to the side of the house.

"You go and rest first, I'll get some food." Yao Zhensheng said as he skillfully cut the game and dug up the internal organs.

Ling Chen sat quietly on the side, his eyes swept towards Yao Zhensheng from time to time, looking at this unusual middle-aged man.

"Uncle Yao, where do you live?" Ling Chen asked. The house next to it had just been repaired, and it was a mess and covered with thick dust, indicating that the place had been uninhabited for many years. Before this, Yao Zhensheng must have lived elsewhere.

"Do you say my home?" Yao Zhensheng looked back at Ling Chen, and said with a smile: "Actually, I don't know where my home is, I have stayed in many places, and I didn't come back here until recently." Although the world is big, I still like this quiet and peaceful place. ”

"You don't have a family?"

Yao Zhensheng shook his head, with a hint of remembrance in his eyes, "It's long gone, after so many years, I have forgotten what it's like to be accompanied by my family." Speaking of this, Yao Zhensheng looked at Ling Chen and said: "Actually, I envy you, there are so many people who care about you, you will never know what loneliness is like." ”

"Uncle Yao, if you want, you can leave here with me. As long as you get along for a long time, my friends can become your friends. ”

Yao Zhensheng smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness, I'm still used to living alone." ”

In the chat, under the roasting of the bonfire, the game slowly exuded a rich fragrance, which made Ling Chen's index finger move. Taking the roast chicken handed over by Yao Zhensheng, Ling Chen tore off a chicken leg and took a bite hard, only to feel that his mouth was full of oil and the fragrance was overflowing.

"It's a pity ......," Ling Chen sighed, "It would be nice to have wine now." ”

Yao Zhensheng laughed and said, "If you don't say it, I almost forgot." You wait!" After speaking, Yao Zhensheng walked to the side of the house, found a shovel, and dug up the soil on the ground little by little. After a while, I saw Yao Zhensheng digging out two wine jars from the ground.

"Here, try this, I've buried a few ...... Decades. ”

Ling Chen hugged the wine jar, and was not polite, and poured it directly into his mouth. The rich and mellow liquor flowed down his throat into his stomach, and Ling Chen's eyes couldn't help but light up. He used to think that the wine he had drunk at Du Kang was the best wine, but compared to the jar of wine in his hand, the wine made by Du Kang was completely incomparable.

"How?"

"Good wine, it's the best wine I've ever drunk in my life. Ling Chen made no secret of his appreciation.

"I guess you'll only drink this wine once in your life. ”

Full of wine and food, Ling Chen and Yao Zhensheng sat outside the house, chatting around the bonfire. "Uncle Yao, can't you really tell me who the person who saved me is?"

"It's not that I don't want to tell you, but I promised someone that he doesn't want to reveal his identity. Don't worry, he doesn't mean anything else, you can go back in two days. ”

"Didn't that person leave anything behind?" Ling Chen felt a little strange. It is impossible for someone to save himself inexplicably, and that person must have had a plan to bring himself here.

Yao Zhensheng nodded and said, "He left a message for you, but now is not the time to tell you." You rest for the night, and I'll tell you tomorrow morning. Saying that, Yao Zhensheng burped, got up and said, "I've drunk a little too much, I'll go to sleep first, you go to bed early, there are still many things tomorrow." ”
