Chapter 176 It’s Hard to Guard against House Thieves (Third Update)
Yang Ruoqing came to the pig pen and looked at the three little piglets for a while.
The three little piglets were full, and now two of them went back to sleep in the pig house under the corner over there.
There is another one, still leaning against the pig trough, making humming sounds from time to time.
The only old hen in the house was also kept in the pigsty and was pacing around there, like a patrolling female general.
Xu Shi looked a little excited when he saw Yang Ruoqing, his former 'roommate', coming over.
He walked towards this side with his big chest out, tilting his head and looking at Yang Ruoqing.
"Gugu..."
It seemed to be greeting her.
Yang Ruoqing smiled and said to it: "You didn't lay an egg yesterday. Are you a little uncomfortable with the new environment?"
"Cuckoo..."
"Oh, it's okay, remember to use full power to lay eggs today."
"Cuckoo..."
"Eggs Don’t mess around, or you’ll get trampled by pigs. You have to go down to your own chicken coop, you know?”
“Gu Gu Gu Gu...”
Facts have proven that both humans and animals need encouragement.
When Yang Ruoqing left the yard, the old hen felt something.
It paced quickly and ran back to the chicken coop in the corner, where it lay motionless...
Ms. Liu came over there yawning.
I had an unpleasant quarrel with Yang Huaming last night, and I spent the whole night wiping away tears, and my sworn enemy didn’t know how to calm him down.
I'm still holding back a lot of anger right now, and I don't know where to vent it.
As she passed the pigsty in the third room, Mrs. Liu saw the three piglets in the pigsty.
Ms. Liu spat hard and cursed in her heart.
“Little piggies, it’s best if they all die of swine fever!”
“Gurgling…Gurgling…”
A cheerful chicken crow came over.
Ms. Liu turned around and found the old hen lying in the chicken coop, tilting her head and croaking proudly.
"Dead hen, howling in the morning!"
Ms. Liu picked up a small stone under her feet and threw it into the pig pen.
It hit the hen firmly. The hen was startled and ran out of the henhouse.
It flapped its wings and ran around the yard, making gurgling sounds.
In the chicken coop, there is a round egg lying.
The size of the egg is larger than ordinary eggs.
Mr. Liu had heard earlier that this old hen lays double-yolk eggs. This egg must be double-yolk!
I took a peek behind me and saw that the doors of the three rooms in the third room were all closed.
Except for the muffled voices coming from Yang Huazhong's house, Fat Ya and Da'an were nowhere to be seen.
Good time!
Ms. Liu planned to open the door of the pigsty and go in, but found that the door of the pigsty was locked.
This must be the lock that Fatty Fatty and the carpenter Lao Wu asked for!
Ms. Liu rolled her eyes and slipped along the periphery of the pig pen to where the chicken coop was built.
Although the walls of the pigsty are not made of earth and stone, they are still very strong.
A wooden stake half as tall as a man was nailed with wooden boards, and then surrounded by broken fishing nets, bamboo fences and the like.
The pigs and chickens inside can't get out, and the weasels outside can't sneak in either.
Liu spent a lot of effort, pulling and breaking it, and finally managed to create a gap, which was just enough for her to insert her hand.
Ms. Liu stuck her butt out and stretched her hands forward.
The chicken coop was built next to the wall here. Mrs. Liu touched the egg and it was warm.
She put the egg in her arms and didn't bother to adjust the gap she opened. The door of Yang Huazhong's house opposite opened with a creak.
Sun came out with a trace of residual blush on her face. Seeing Mrs. Liu standing over the pig pen, Mrs. Sun was startled and her face turned redder.
“Fourth brother and sister, when did you come here?”
Mrs. Sun asked, thinking that Mrs. Liu probably didn't hear the private conversation in the room just now, right?
"Oh, third sister-in-law, you came out without saying anything, you scared me!"
Ms. Liu stroked her chest, her eyes twinkling.
Ms. Sun showed a hint of suspicion, "Fourth brother and sister, what are you doing standing in my pigsty? I haven't cleaned this pigsty yet, it smells bad!"
Ms. Liu Said: "I was going to the toilet just now. As soon as I walked here, a gust of wind blew my handkerchief here, so I came to pick it up!"
As she spoke, she took out a rough-textured handkerchief from her sleeve, the color of which could not be seen after washing, shook it and stuffed it back.
Sun did not ask any more questions, picked up the big broom and dustpan leaning against the courtyard wall, and came over to clean the pigsty.
"Sister-in-law, please be busy first, I'm going to the toilet!"
Ms. Liu rubbed oil on the soles of her feet and ran away with the eggs in her arms.
……
Luo Fengtang's house is in the west of Changping Village, under the oldest maple tree in the village.
This is Yang Ruoqing’s third visit to Luo Fengtang’s house.
Looking from afar, there are three low thatched houses, with a half-person-high wall built of earth and stone outside, and there is no door to the yard.
When Yang Ruoqing walked into the yard, Blacksmith Luo happened to come out of the small kitchen on one side.
Holding a cracked earthenware bowl in his hand, he was walking towards the main room with a worried look on his face.
"Uncle Luo!"
Yang Ruoqing called over and trotted over.
“Girl Qing, why are you here?”
Blacksmith Luo was surprised when he saw that the person coming was Yang Ruoqing.
“My mother gave Tang Yazi a pair of shoes and sent them to me.”
Yang Ruoqing said, taking out the shoes in her hand and shaking them.
Tiejiang Luo nodded gratefully: "Your mother is so thoughtful. I will thank her on behalf of Tang Yazi. When Tang Yazi recovers, I will let him go and thank her on his own!"
Yang Ruoqing smiled and shook her head She nodded and said, "You're welcome...ah? Is Tang Yazi sick? What's going on?"
She then noticed that in the bowl held by Blacksmith Luo, half a bowl of yellow-brown soup was dripping with water. Spicy smell.
Blacksmith Luo said: "When I came back yesterday, I lay down without eating anything. I went to call him for breakfast this morning, but he couldn't wake him up. When he touched his forehead, it felt like a charcoal stove. Afraid of catching a cold, I’ll make him some ginger water!”
Luo Fengtang has a fever?
Yang Ruoqing felt that the possibility of catching a cold was relatively small. In all likelihood, the wound pecked by the eagle was infected.
"Let's go, Uncle Luo, take me to take a look at Tangtang!"
"Okay!"
This is the third time Yang Ruoqing has returned to Luo Fengtang's house.
The first time I came here to deliver dumplings, I stayed in the kitchen for a while and then left.
The second time was the night when we teamed up to fight the black tiger. We also stayed in the kitchen and did not enter the main room.
Strictly speaking, this was the time when she really entered Luo Fengtang's home.
A very simple layout, with the main room in the middle and two doors on both sides, together with the two wing rooms on the left and right.
In the main room, there was nothing else except a worn-out Eight Immortals table with its edges worn off and four long stools.
To describe it as a house with only four walls, it is more appropriate.
"It's dark in the room, girl Qing, watch your step!"
Blacksmith Luo, who was walking in the front, turned around and told Yang Ruoqing who was following behind.
"Well, it's okay."
Yang Ruoqing responded and followed Blacksmith Luo into the room where Luo Fengtang slept.
When she walked into the house, a strange feeling suddenly passed through her heart.
There is an indescribable novelty, as well as a hint of excitement and joy.
