Siheyuan: I just want to live

Chen Feng left the scrap yard. He did not go home directly, but walked west along the street.

After leaving Xizhimen, Chen Feng gradually slowed down his bicycle speed on the bumpy dirt road.

After a long ride, he finally arrived at the foot of the mountain around noon. He looked into the distance and saw smoke rising from a small mountain village two miles away.

Chen Feng took out the steamed buns and hot water from the space, found a stone to sit on, and ate the steamed buns in big mouthfuls. When he felt choked, he drank a sip of hot water, thus solving the lunch problem in such a simple way.

After lunch, Chen Feng took a short rest. He then put his bicycle into the space, took out a cigarette, lit it, and sat there quietly smoking.

After finishing a cigarette, Chen Feng stood up, took out a Thompson submachine gun from the space and slung it over his body, then took firm steps and headed towards the mountains.

Chen Feng did not go into the mountains for hunting this time. The last time he went into the mountains, he found that there was a hill that was still lush and green in winter.

Chen Feng thought that the hilltop should be covered with pine trees! Last time, he was short of time and didn't rush to see it, but now he just happened to have time.

Chen Feng planned to stay in the mountains for a few more days, find a hilltop, cut down a few pine trees, and get some pine needles as feed for the rabbits.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Feng arrived at the familiar pond.

Chen Feng, holding his gun, looked around cautiously, and when he found that there was no danger, he felt relieved and continued to walk towards the edge of the pond.

When Chen Feng arrived at the pond, he discovered that although the water level had risen a little due to the melting snow during this period, it was still more than 20 meters away from the pond mouth.

Chen Feng thought that when spring comes, the remaining snow on the mountain will melt, and coupled with the spring rain, the pool of water will be filled up again!

Then animals will come to drink water in this area again, and there will be animal hoof prints around the pool again.

Chen Feng walked around the pond and came to the cave where he had stayed the night before. He took out two bombs from the space, lit them, and quickly threw them into the cave.

Chen Feng was standing at the side of the cave entrance, holding a gun and staring at it nervously. If any animals rushed out of the cave, Chen Feng could knock them down immediately.

A few seconds later, two loud noises were heard from the cave. The sound of the thunder bomb was quite loud, and Chen Feng felt that it was almost as loud as the sound of a hand grenade.

Chen Feng waited for about a minute, but still didn't see anything coming out. Chen Feng then put down his nervous heart and took out the flashlight.

Holding a flashlight in one hand and a gun in the other, he carefully entered the cave.

When he got to the cave, Chen Feng found that the layout inside was the same as when he left, and there was no change. It seemed that no animals had visited here in the past few days.

Chen Feng was not going to go further into the mountains today. Even if he went forward, he would not be able to reach the hilltop where the pine forest might grow before dark. It would be better to rest here tonight and go tomorrow.

Then Chen Feng cleaned the cave again. Although no animals had visited, there was still a lot of dust on the ground.

Chen Feng looked at the cleaned cave, nodded with satisfaction, and then walked out of the cave.

Coming to an open space on the side, Chen Feng found a suitable stone slab from the space. This stone slab was cut for making a grinding wheel and he had always forgotten to throw it away.

Only then did Chen Feng realize that there were many discarded stones in the space that had not been thrown away. Chen Feng quickly moved them all out to prevent them from occupying space in the space.

Chen Feng looked at the discarded rubble and thought for a while. Then he walked to the edge of the pond, found some stones with an area of ​​more than one meter, and put them into the space.

Chen Feng will renovate the house when the weather warms up. He plans to cut the stones into two-centimeter-thick slabs of 80 centimeters by 80 centimeters.

When renovating the house, they will be laid on the ground. This is much better than the blue bricks that Chen Feng has laid in his house now. When the time comes, Chen Feng will not make the house full of dust when sweeping the floor.

After collecting the stones, Chen Feng returned to the empty space and used a few pieces of waste stones to prop up the stone slab. Then he took out the firewood from the space, lit the fire, and placed it under the stone slab.

He also took out some oil, salt, chili seasoning, and pickled wild boar meat from the space.

Afterwards, Chen Feng started to have a picnic, roasting a wild boar with preserved meat on a stone slab, eating some roasted steamed buns, and drinking some sugar water when he was thirsty. In this uninhabited mountainous area, it really has a unique flavor.

Chen Feng ate the meal slowly for more than an hour. After he finished his meal, he released a large amount of water from the space and completely put out the fire.

Only then did Chen Feng feel at ease returning to the cave. He followed the old routine, blocking the entrance of the cave with large rocks, and then made the bed to sleep.

Chen Feng had a good meal and fell asleep soundly in the cave, but Yi Zhonghai came back early from Siheyuan today.

It was not time to get off work today, so Yi Zhonghai said hello to the workshop director and returned to the courtyard early.

It was not time for Yan Fugui to go to school today, so he was waiting at the door early for people who had gone out to work to come back.

When Yan Fugui saw Yi Zhonghai coming back so early today, he curiously stepped forward and asked, "Old Yi, why did you come back so early today? Isn't it time to get off work yet?"

When Yi Zhonghai saw Yan Fugui walking towards him, he took out a cigarette from his pocket with a worried look on his face, lit one for himself, and then handed one to Yan Fugui.

Then he said, "Old Yan! I'm worried! I haven't been able to calm down and work well all day, so I came back early!"

Yan Fugui walked over and took the cigarette. When he heard Yi Zhonghai talking about his worries, he sighed slightly and said, "It's useless for you to come back early?"

Yi Zhonghai said helplessly, "I thought I'd wait here for Chen Feng to get off work, and then have a good talk with him."

Yan Fugui was still the same as yesterday, he didn't think Yi Zhonghai you succeeded! So he said, "What can you do if we talk about it again? I don't think Chen Feng will put the gun back to their unit!"

In fact, Yi Zhonghai knew everything Yan Fugui said, and he also understood why Chen Feng brought back a gun, but Yi Zhonghai still wanted to try to convince Chen Feng.

Yan Fugui looked at the persistent Yi Zhonghai and sighed, saying with some emotion, "Then you wait here slowly! I will continue to water my flowers and will not accompany you."

Then Yan Fugui walked away, leaving Yi Zhonghai alone waiting at the door for Chen Feng to come home from get off work.

Soon it was past six o'clock, and people who worked in the courtyard returned to the courtyard one after another.

Although everyone was curious about why Yi Zhonghai was standing at the door, they still greeted him politely, then went into the yard and returned to their respective homes.

Yi Zhonghai waited at the door until 8:30 in the evening. Yan Jiecheng came out to close the door, but he did not wait for Chen Feng to come back.

Yan Jiecheng saw Yi Zhonghai still waiting at the door, so he asked curiously, "Uncle, why are you still waiting here? I'm about to close the shop!"

Yi Zhonghai was also a little dejected at this time, and said helplessly, "I have been waiting at the gate all night, but I didn't see Chen Feng. Why hasn't Chen Feng come back yet?"

Yan Jiecheng didn't know how to answer Yi Zhonghai's sudden question. Suddenly, Yan Jiecheng had an idea and said to Yi Zhonghai excitedly:

"Uncle, since you have been waiting for Chen Feng at the gate, do you think Chen Feng saw you waiting for him at the gate? He deliberately did not go through the main gate, but climbed over the wall from the back alley to enter the yard?"

Yi Zhonghai also felt that Yan Jiecheng's words made sense, so he quickly said to Yan Jiecheng, "Jiecheng! Thank you for your reminder! I'll go to the backyard and check it out. I won't disturb you when you close the door!"

After saying this, Yi Zhonghai walked towards the backyard, giving up the idea of ​​waiting at the gate any further.

When Yi Zhonghai hurried to the backyard and saw that the lights in Chen Feng's house were not on, he thought that Chen Feng had gone to bed. He immediately walked to the door of Chen Feng's house and began to knock on the door.

He kept shouting, "Chen Feng, open the door! Open the door! I know you are inside! Open the door!"

Yi Zhonghai knocked on the door for a while, but there was still no movement in Chen Feng's room.

Yi Zhonghai knocked on the door again, still shouting, "Chen Feng, open the door quickly, let's talk! Avoiding like this is not a solution to the problem!"

This time, there was still no movement in Chen Feng's house, and the lights were not turned on. However, the lights in Xu Damao's house next door were on.

Xu Damao did not go to work today, he was given a permanent job today. Xu's father also left the steel mill and found a job as a projectionist in a movie theater.

Xu's father and mother took Xu Xiaoling to move to the new house allocated by the cinema. Xu Damao helped his parents move for a whole day.

I had just returned to my home, which finally belonged to me, and had just fallen asleep when I heard the sound of Yi Zhonghai knocking on the door and shouting.

Xu Damao was so bored that he just put on a cotton jacket, got out of bed, opened the door, and said impatiently to Yi Zhonghai who was knocking on Chen Feng's door:

"Uncle, you should save your energy! Chen Feng didn't come back today! If you don't believe me, look down and see that the door is locked from the outside! There is no one in the room!"

Yi Zhonghai was reminded by Xu Damao, and then he looked down. Sure enough, the door was locked, and it seemed that there was really no one in the room.

So Yi Zhonghai turned to look at Xu Damao and asked, "Xu Damao, have you seen Chen Feng today?"

Xu Damao shook his head and said, "I haven't seen Chen Feng since I came back. Maybe he didn't come back because of something!"

"Uncle, please go back first! It's getting late, please stop knocking on the door. I have to go to work tomorrow!"

Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of Xu Damao, Yi Zhonghai stopped staying in the backyard and went home.

After seeing Yi Zhonghai leave, Xu Damao went back to his room to continue sleeping. Tomorrow would be his first day at work after being converted to a regular employee, and he didn't want to be late on his first day at work.
