Siheyuan, I want to lie down but I become a tool

As for the food source issue that Zhang Xingwang was worried about, the old man didn't even ask. Even when Zhang Xingwang wanted to pay the price for the wild boar blood according to the "rules", the old man waved his hands and refused, and then said that they actually kept two wild rabbits and gave them to him.

I hope he won’t mention the price reduction in the future. The couple next to him stared at Zhang Xingwang nervously, waiting for his answer.

This scene made Zhang Xingwang feel embarrassed. Finally, he couldn't stand the three people's fiery gazes and accepted it embarrassedly. After the three people saw that he accepted it, they also completely relaxed.

The old man also winked at the couple with a smug look on his face, as if to say "it has to be me". It is estimated that when Zhang Xingwang was moving the grain, the three of them were mainly discussing how to give Zhang Xingwang a gift.

After watching the three people leave with their bags on their backs and head back to the village, Zhang Xingwang felt tired and relieved at the same time. He thought this family was quite reliable and it seemed that he had to plan to go out in advance.

I vaguely saw the woman secretly slipping a pack of cigarettes to the old man as he walked forward panting as he carried the food on his back.

While he was wanting to laugh, a strange shadow inexplicably appeared in his mind. It seemed to be smiling at him with its head tilted, saying that it missed him a little.

After the three people had completely gone far away, Zhang Xingwang calmly put the hare into the space and strolled to the "pigsty" to wait for the wild boar to sleep.

Unexpectedly, it was almost dark, but the wild boars still had no desire to sleep. The anxious Master Zhang could only use bricks to coax the two small ones to sleep. As for the big one, there were not enough bricks.

Finally, after the two older ones saw the little wild boar "fall asleep", they also fell asleep slowly after a while. This way, the whole family was successfully invited into the space.

Then, we set off quickly before it got dark, and finally arrived at the creek before dark. We looked at the familiar shed and prepared to spend the night there.

This is considered a deep mountain. No one showed up until dark. The nights in the mountains were so cold that people shivered. Facing the campfire was really like a world of ice and fire.

I felt very hot facing the campfire, but felt chilly at my back. Fortunately, I still had a quilt left, so I quickly took it out and put it on to feel a little warm.

Looking at the stream in front, I can no longer hear the previous sound of flowing water. The puddles reflect sporadic moonlight, coupled with the dark jungle on both sides and the occasional unknown voices. Even the unclear reflections in the water seem to be moving slowly.

The atmosphere is full of horror, and it doesn't feel like camping before. I don't know how that guy managed to sleep here. I have to learn from him next time.

In the second half of the night, Zhang Xingwang couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep leaning against a rock by the campfire. When he woke up, it was already bright outside.

I glanced at my watch and it was already half past eight in the morning. I stood up and looked around, but nothing had happened. Not only was the quilt dirty, but there was also a small hole burned by the flying sparks.

After stretching and rubbing his sore limbs, Zhang Xingwang started his journey back. Nothing happened along the way, and it was almost noon when he got out of the mountain.

At the intersection going down the mountain, there were a few people who looked malicious and kept staring at Zhang Xingwang. Zhang Xingwang had been worrying for a long time in vain. He thought he could get the first kill here, but those people just walked away with a sneer.

After they walked away, Zhang Xingwang took out his bicycle and rode towards Old Man Zhang's house.

When he arrived at Old Man Zhang's house, he bought thirty prescriptions of medicine at one time and generously gave him a huge sum of 30 yuan. With the sound of Old Man Zhang counting the money, he left in a leisurely manner. At noon, he had a meal of steamed buns and fried wild boar meat from the village in Kongjianli. He did not go to his aunt's house, but went straight home.

He arrived at the door just after get off work in the evening. Zhang Xingwang didn't sleep well the previous day and was very tired from this trip. As soon as he entered the yard, the third uncle Yan Bugui rushed towards him.

After seeing Zhang Xingwang's puzzled and unfriendly eyes, he hurriedly explained that he was just trying to help improve everyone's biased evaluation of him and he would definitely not ask for anything.

Zhang Xingwang then began to believe him a little bit. Just then, he saw the little girl jumping and skipping out from the middle courtyard with Yi Tian. After seeing Zhang Xingwang, the little girl ran towards him with her short legs.

Then he walked straight past Zhang Xingwang who had opened one arm as if hugging him. When Yan Bugui was about to take a peek at the sack on the seat, he exerted force with his short legs, jumped up and pressed the sack hard on the back seat.

Zhang Xingwang then followed the direction of the little girl's gaze and saw Yan Bugui's little action. He then shook his head helplessly without listening to his explanation of "I'm used to it" and "I can't change it for the time being".

He picked up the little girl and put her on the sack, then pushed the bicycle home amid the little girl's cheers.

When he passed by the middle courtyard, he was seen by Qin Huairu who was about to enter the house. She smiled at him and went into the house. When Zhang Xingwang was about to reach the backyard, Qin Huairu caught up with him with her big belly, holding a pair of new shoes made by Jia Zhang in her hand. She handed them to Zhang Xingwang and said with a little emotion:

"Xingwang, this pair of shoes was specially made for you by my mother-in-law. It was just finished yesterday. Go back and try it on."

Zhang Xingwang was slightly stunned, then took the new shoes. It seemed that Jia Zhang was a person he could get along with. She really gave him shoes when he gave her a benefit. It seemed that Yi Zhonghai's food must be good.

When she got home, she quickly put on the new shoes and tried them on. There was no doubt that Jia Zhang's shoemaking skills were so good that even her second sister could not catch up. After all, she specialized in this and had one trick up her sleeve. The shoes she made were so comfortable to wear.

The second sister also watched her younger brother wearing other people's shoes and showing dissatisfaction with the shoes she made, and began to doubt her own craftsmanship.

Seeing this, Zhang Xingwang hurriedly comforted his second sister, saying that it was not that you were incompetent, it was because the other party had too much experience. How could you compare with someone who had been focusing on making shoes for decades?

Afterwards, she listened to her fourth sister's report on what had happened in the courtyard in the past two days, and went to cook helplessly under the expectant eyes of the women in the family. The mother, Wang Xiulan, who had no ambition, even said shamelessly, "I haven't eaten the food cooked by my son for two days. I missed it so much."

There was no other way. The sisters didn't know how to cook rabbit, and my mother wanted to eat it, so she had to make arrangements no matter how tired she was. After a hard day's work, Master Zhang could only start cooking skillfully in the kitchen.

The little girl watched him take out two rabbits and a quilt from the sack, then shook her head vigorously and touched her little butt, with a look of deep thought in her cute eyes.

Then he trotted back to the house and took out a new sack that was exactly the same, asking if he could exchange it with his brother. Then, upon hearing Zhang Xingwang's response, he happily ran back to the house with Zhang Xingwang's dirty sack.
