From the end to the other world

After finishing speaking, Qin Luochuan saw that the person's body trembled inconspicuously, and his footsteps also slowed down, but he didn't stop completely. He probably guessed his purpose for saying this.

After talking about sending him back, Qin Luochuan breathed a sigh of relief. It was better than worrying about whether this person would continue to get lost after returning. Anyway, it was not the first time he sent people from the village back. He had met a child in the mountains before. If he is playing wild and it is getting dark again, he will also send him a way.

So he took a few steps to the front of the man and said, "Hurry up, you won't be able to see it any later."

The young man didn't speak any more, and just followed behind Qin Luochuan silently.

Qin Luochuan was obviously walking much faster than the young man, but the young man didn't say anything. When he was about to lose track, he trotted a few steps. Hearing the rapid breathing of the people behind him due to exercise, Qin Luochuan didn't look back, The pace did not slow down.

The two hurried forward, and when they reached the pine forest, the sky was still bright, but after entering the forest, they could no longer see the road under their feet.

Qin Luochuan is familiar with walking on weekdays. He doesn't need to look at the road under his feet. He only needs to see the tree trunks next to him, so he knows where to set his feet and how to get out of the forest as quickly as possible.

Worried that the young man would not be able to keep up, Qin Luochuan broke off a branch, held one end for himself, and handed the other end to the young man, saying, "You hold the branch and follow me, don't get lost later."

The young man glanced at the branch handed over, and then at the dark woods in front of him, hesitating for a moment, then took the branch Qin Luochuan handed over.

Fearing that the other party would accidentally step on the ground, after entering the forest, Qin Luochuan no longer said nothing, but reminded the young man from time to time, where to step to the left, and where there was a small hole, the young man responded one by one. .

Even with only one or two syllables, he could sense the general emotion of the speaker. Qin Luochuan couldn't help but lament that this person was really calm, and he was not afraid of being led for a walk in the mountains by a stranger like himself.

But he didn't know that the other end of the branch was already soaked in sweat from the opponent's palm, and as long as he did anything excessive, the opponent's free hand would be able to attack him immediately.

After walking out of the woods, in the dim light, you can still see children walking back with their cows on the road, and villagers who have just finished working in the fields.

Qin Luochuan didn't notice it, but turned around and said, "Here we are."

The young man looked at Qin Luochuan rather complicatedly, and finally all his emotions turned into gratitude, "Thank you."

The edge of the woods was a little brighter than the inside, so Qin Luochuan didn't go out anymore, watching the young man walk out of the woods with a basket on his back, followed by the children who came back from herding cattle, walked back to the village, and then turned back to drive home.

I didn't stop on the way, and when I got home, I couldn't see a ray of sunlight. On the contrary, the moon in the sky began to emit a faint brilliance.

Qin Yan sat at the door with a cattail fan, and when he heard footsteps, he said, "You came back late today."

After Qin Luochuan put down the basket, he turned on the oil lamp in the room again, and said, "Something happened on the road, so I was delayed."

"What's the matter?" Normally, Qin Yan wouldn't be bothered to ask, but today Qin Luochuan was going to fix the foundation, and he was afraid that he would encounter some trouble, so he asked.

Qin Luochuan replied casually: "When I came back, I met someone who got lost in the mountains, so I sent him out."

Qin Yan rolled his eyes when he heard this, and asked, "Is it a twin?"

"How do you know?" Qin Luochuan paused the hand that was taking things from the basket, and turned to look at Qin Yan suspiciously.

"Not only do I know it's a Shuang'er, but I also know that it's definitely not from the nearby village." Qin Yan put up his cattail fan, clapped his palms again and again, proudly raised his eyebrows at Qin Luochuan who was looking at him, and said what he wanted Inferred, "If someone is a child, you will definitely say the name directly. Moreover, it is impossible for people in the nearby villages to get lost, so it can only be relatives of someone else, or someone has moved to live nearby.

"People who are not familiar with this place will not let women or children go into the mountains alone. If it is a man, if it is not too late, with your personality, it is just pointing the way down, and you will not send a special trip. , so it can only be Shuang'er."

After listening to Qin Yan's analysis, Qin Luochuan felt that this was really the case. He decided to send that person out of the mountain after he knew that the other person was Shuang'er.

But he didn't care too much, it's the same as the gentleman's etiquette in the previous life. Although Shuang'er looks like a man in appearance, there is a gender difference after all, and his physical fitness is indeed worse than that of a normal man, so he is taken care of more. Some are also normal.

Since Qin Yan asked if someone moved in nearby, Qin Luochuan took advantage of the opportunity to buy the foundation in Chengjia Village, and told a family from the capital about the land in Lijia Village.

Qin Luochuan knew that Qin Yan, just like himself, had no obsession with where to live.

Sure enough, after Qin Yan finished listening, he just responded as if he was coping, "Okay, I got it."

Then he turned his head and stared at Dian Xinghe in a daze, even forgetting to shake the cattail fan that he had been holding all the time.

Although the relationship between father and son is close, they both know that each other has their own little secrets. Seeing Qin Yan's behavior, it is obvious that something is on his mind. Qin Luochuan didn't ask too much, just put the lotus pods he bought on the table, and went with the ribs Kitchen.

It wasn't until the sound of washing vegetables in the kitchen that Qin Yan came back to his senses, and said with a sigh, "He's from the capital..."

Qin Yan had already cooked the rice, the side dishes to eat had already been picked and cleaned, and the firewood cooking was fast, so Qin Luochuan quickly cooked the dishes to eat for dinner.

When he came out with the dishes, Qin Yan was already peeling the lotus seeds and eating, and his previous distraction seemed to be Qin Luochuan's illusion.

After dinner, Qin Yan went to wash the dishes, while Qin Luochuan found a pen and paper, thinking about how to plan the land he just bought.

Two mu of land is not too small, but it is not too big either. He and Qin Yan are only two people, and the house does not need to be too big. If we build a chicken coop, we will raise a few chickens, pigs and cows. Forget it, neither of them want to raise them.The rest of the land can be enclosed as a vegetable garden.

After the general planning is done, it is time to draw a sketch of the house. This is what Qin Luochuan has thought about a long time ago. There are four rooms in total, with a main room in the middle, a main room behind the main room, and a wing room in the east and west. The house is distributed in the shape of a character , just surrounded a yard.

When Qin Yan came out, Qin Luochuan had already finished the sketch, and he didn't even leave the small kitchen next to the main room.

Although the picture is crude, it is clear and clear, even the size and proportion can be seen.

After only one glance, Qin Yan pointed to the main room behind the main room and said, "Build this room bigger."

Because it has to be the same width as the main room in front, the area of ​​the main room is actually much wider than that of the two side rooms.Moreover, the main room in front is blocked, so it cannot be illuminated. If the depth is increased, the interior of the room will be even darker. Qin Luochuan is very puzzled, "It is enough if it is this big, it will be empty if it is bigger, and it will be cold in winter."

Qin Yan glanced at him, "It's enough for you to live alone now. After you get married, the two of you will have a lot more things. When you have children in the future, you will definitely live with you in the past few years. By then It's too crowded."

"Wait!" Qin Luochuan interrupted hastily, "The main house is for you."

"I'll just live in the wing," Qin Yan said, "Didn't you say that you want to get a warm room in the west wing for me to live in in winter? When it's hot, I'll move to the east wing. It's also convenient."

After Qin Yan finished speaking, without giving Qin Luochuan a chance to refute, he continued: "If you are worried that the main house is too wide and the light is not easy to get in, you can ask someone to go to the south to buy some bright tiles and put them on the roof. .”

Qin Luo roughly knew that when Mingwa had no glass, people made translucent sheets from shellfish or sheep horns and installed them on the window panes, which not only ensured lighting, but also kept wind and warmth. It was only used by wealthy families. on something.

It's just that I don't know what the Mingwa here is made of, and it can still be installed on the roof.And he hasn't seen it in two years since he came here, and he still needs to ask someone to buy it from the south, so it won't be cheap if he thinks about it.

The area of ​​the main house is widened, plus the Mingwa costing an unknown amount, the construction of the house has not yet started, and there will be an additional expenditure outside the budget, and the other will also increase the budget. Know how many changes there will be after the construction starts.

Qin Luochuan sighed, fortunately, he had dozens of taels more than the previous budget, otherwise he was really afraid that half of the house would run out of money.

The next day they had to get up early to buy bricks and tiles. After the father and son had no objection to the structural drawing of the house, they went to bed separately.

A deposit has already been paid for the bricks and tiles to be bought, and now it is only necessary to find a craftsman to calculate the approximate needs, and let people deliver the things.The father and son acted separately, but within two days, all the materials were bought, and even the craftsmen were all in place, and the construction began.

In addition to the three masons, Qin Luochuan hired six men from the village to help him.

This is all paid for.

Although it was hot in June, there wasn't much work to do in the fields. They could still make money without delaying their own work. The six people they invited were not too aggressive.

In just one day, the foundations of several rooms were dug.

After the foundation is finished, the house cannot be built immediately. Instead, it needs to be aired for a few days. After the bricks, stones and clay are all solidified and dry, the building can be continued, so as to ensure the stability of the foundation.

Qin Luochuan paid the helpers for the day's wages, and agreed to let them continue to help after a few days, and everyone dispersed one after another.

Looking at the ground that had already taken shape, Qin Luochuan couldn't help feeling a little emotional. He never thought that one day he would personally plan and oversee the construction of a house of his own.

Finally, after a busy day, I feel tired after a short stop, and I have to climb several mountains to get home when I go back.

Qin Luochuan admired it for a while, and then was greeted by Qin Yan to go home together.

As a result, before entering the mountain, he was stopped by several people who hurried over.

It was only when they got closer that Qin Luochuan saw Yang Xi who was being dragged at the end of the walk, panting.

Although the relationship between him and Yang Xi is not bad, Yang Xi has never come to the village to look for him in the past two years, and he looked so anxious, so he quickly asked: "Brother Yang, why do you want me?"

"Brother Luochuan," Yang Xi pulled Qin Luochuan before he was out of breath, "I have something to ask for my brother."

Yang Xi's family was well-off, and his father was the dean of the academy. Qin Luochuan couldn't think of anything that would require his help.

So he turned his gaze, glanced at the man beside Yang Xi who was three points similar to Yang Xi, and asked calmly, "What's the matter?"

The situation was urgent, and Yang Xi didn't hesitate, and directly pulled the man beside him to introduce him: "This is my cousin, and his family needs your help with something."

"My name is He Feixing." The man introduced himself first, and then he said what he was looking for. "It's like this. I heard from Yizhi that you have a good memory and are very good at arithmetic. I have several ledgers at home. Brother Qin Can you help me check it out tonight and find out what's wrong?"

"That's Yi Zhi's absurd praise." Qin Luochuan was puzzled, "For checking the accounts, there is an accountant in the town who must be better than me. If you are in a hurry, just find a few more people to do the calculation together."

"This matter should not be known to too many people," He Feixing said with a wry smile, since he was looking for someone to do the work, "and you will know when you look at the account books. error."

After speaking, he was afraid that Qin Luochuan would continue to refuse, so he quickly said: "If this matter is resolved, He will definitely thank you very much."

Thinking of the house whose foundation was just laid, Qin Luochuan's heart moved, "Then... let me try?"
