817. Shelter (8)

Following Zheng Chunhua, Dong Qiangqiang also entered the backyard through Chai Fei.

Looking at the size of the villa, he thought that the backyard would be just two hundred square meters. When he stood on the green and yellow lawn and looked around, he realized that the size of the backyard was indeed quite large: the front yard was made of brick and stone.

The fence has been replaced by a fence that is swaying here and there with varying density. The fence covers an area of ​​at least several hundred square meters. At the end of the fence are two yellow-brown wooden doors that are larger than Chai Fei, one is empty and the other is closed.

Outside the wall is a green forest. The forest is dense and dense. You can see the glimmer of light in the forest, but you can't see the reality inside. You can only hear the rustling sounds of the dense leaves when the wind blows, and the unknown sounds.

The occasional solitary call of a bird.

There are several independent cabins closest to the villa. Next to the cabins is a warehouse with stacks of firewood neatly stacked. The door of the warehouse is open, and you can see various farm tools hanging on the wall inside. Opposite the warehouse is an open-air barbecue.

In the area, a dark barbecue grill is placed on a circle made of smooth stones, while ponds, swimming pools, vegetable plots, and grape trellises are scattered in other locations in the yard.

Dong Qiangqiang was still observing when a black shadow suddenly ran past his feet. He couldn't help but take a step back. Just as he was about to take a closer look at what he saw, he heard Zheng Chunhua calling him from the front to follow.

There was no paved path in the yard, but Zheng Chunhua walked in one direction as if she was familiar with the route. Dong Qiangqiang guessed that she had been here many times, so he hurriedly followed her in three steps and two steps at a time.

After bypassing two tall shrubs and green plants, she and he arrived near the back door of the villa.

He saw a blue-gray "L" shaped wooden bench with a backrest placed outside the back door, with a few cushions thrown haphazardly on it.

The left side of the wooden bench is filled with clay pots of various sizes, in which are planted various plants that Dong Qiangqiang cannot name. The ground on the right side of the bench is filled with various brightly colored and mouth-watering fruits.

And vegetables, watermelon, strawberry, yellow peach, grape, elderberry, pumpkin, carrot, tomato...

Behind the bench are the steps leading to the balcony on the second floor of the villa. In front of the bench is a dark brown iron-shaped charcoal brazier. The charcoal brazier is not a common oven shape, but more like a coffee table, except that the coffee table panel is dented.

A regular basin was used instead. The charcoal fire in the basin was burning brightly, with sparks popping out.

Through the firelight, Dong Qiangqiang saw a silver-haired old man sitting on a wooden bench, lowering his head and packing something.

Before he could see clearly what the old man was playing with, he heard a rustling sound coming from the bushes behind him.

He turned his head when he heard the sound, and happened to see two spotlight-like eyes staring at him from the bushes. Then, a huge German black back quietly walked out from behind the bushes with its tail between its legs. Although it didn't

He immediately barked at the two of them, but his ears were pricked with vigilance, and at the same time, a long string of malicious snores came from his nose.

"Ms. Yulia, good evening, we are here..."

Just when Zheng Chunhua was saying hello to the old man, the black man walked closer to the two of them and lowered his body lower. Dong Qiangqiang guessed that the dog might attack them at any time.

With quick eyes and hands, he picked up a branch from the ground next to him in case of emergency, and then he heard the old man shout in a rough German accent: "Sit down!"

This sound was like a binding spell, and Hei Bei immediately sat down on the spot, staring fiercely at Dong Qiangqiang and Zheng Chunhua for a few seconds, and then turned to look at the old man helplessly, as if begging the owner to allow it to move freely.

"You guys sit down first," the silver-haired old man said without raising his head, "I have to work on it for a while."

Only then did Dong Qiangqiang notice that what the old man was playing with was neither a ball of wool nor needlework, but a living cat. To be more precise, the old man was carefully opening a corner of the cat's back for disinfection.

The area of ​​​​the skin was quite large, and the wound looked bloody and bloody. This was the first time that Dong Qiangqiang saw such a bloody scene at close range. He couldn't bear to look directly at it and immediately turned his head to the side, just as Zheng Chunhua also turned his head.

The two men's eyes met, but neither spoke.

Dong Qiangqiang knew that the stinging sensation of alcohol disinfection was very strong, but the cat did not utter a cry, as if it knew that the old man was saving its life. He couldn't help but be curious, and turned his head back, only to find that the old man was concentrating on cleaning the cat.

Different medical supplies were carefully sprayed on different areas of the cat's back, and he was talking to the cat while handling it, as if to comfort him.

After a while, the old man suddenly called out: "Come here."

Only when the old man called out again did Dong Qiangqiang realize that the other person was calling him.

"Me? Oh, okay."

Seeing Dong Qiangqiang approaching, the always vigilant Black Back immediately went into defense mode and let out a burst of barking, with a high-pitched and harsh voice, as if to warn Dong Qiangqiang not to approach its owner.

"Quiet!" the old man ordered, "go to the door."

Upon hearing the old man's order, Black Back immediately looked aggrieved, but in the end he hummed and walked away with his tail between his legs, looking back as he walked, as if he didn't understand what his master was doing tonight.

"I've already given it medicine." The old man had several large balls of blood-stained gauze on his hand, and the cat seemed to be dead and motionless in her hands. "Now I'll hold it down, and you can wrap the gauze around it."

.Remember not to wrap it too tightly, as that will increase the pressure on its ribs and abdomen, and don’t wrap it too loosely, as that will not be conducive to the healing of the wound on its back. Do you understand?"

Dong Qiangqiang nodded and slowly wrapped the gauze around the cat as the old man asked.

The cat was extremely well-behaved in the hands of the old man, with its belly rising and falling. Except for tilting its head and glancing at Dong Qiangqiang when he first took advantage of it, the cat remained silent throughout the process. It seemed to fully trust the old man and Dong Qiangqiang who were helping it. Its eyes were in the middle of the night.

It's sparkling, like the stars in the sky.

Thanks to the cat's cooperation, the bandaging process was extremely smooth. The old man checked it again to make sure there were no mistakes, then put the cat into the flight box nearby and took the box into the house.

When the old man walked out of the house again, he waved to the two of them and motioned for them to sit by the fire and talk.

The two sat down as instructed.

"Ms. Yulia, this is Dong Qiangqiang whom I mentioned to you this morning. He just went to college and is looking for a house. He wants to come and see your house."

When the old man looked at Dong Qiangqiang carefully, Dong Qiangqiang also happened to look at him.

The old man is a typical German woman. She is tall and burly, measuring about 1.75 meters tall. Although she is older, Dong Qiangqiang has noticed that her hair is neatly combed, her clothes are clean and tidy, her eyes are sophisticated and sharp, and she has the ability to see through everything at a glance.

The oppressive feeling of your little abacus. When you walk with your head held high, your air is high, and your steps are powerful, there is no sense of senility or sunset that is common among the elderly. Except for the gray hair, the spirit and vitality look no different from those of young people, even

He was more energetic than many young people he had seen.

Yulia, on the other hand, seemed to be stunned for a moment after seeing Dong Qiangqiang's face clearly. It was not until Zheng Chunhua said something again that she remembered and asked: "What is your name?"

Although the old man asked in plain language, firstly, the other party was an elder, secondly, Dong Qiangqiang knew about her misfortune, and thirdly, he had just cooperated with her to save a cat, so he did not feel disgusted with her tone, but he understood her very well.

.

"Hello, my name is Dong Qiangqiang. I am studying economics at the University of Trier." Dong Qiangqiang glanced at Zheng Chunhua and added, "I am 100% Chinese."

Although he has a good impression of the old lady and the external environment of the house, the failure he encountered in the afternoon made him not want to waste more time and words on unnecessary aspects. If the other party cannot accept Chinese tenants, it is better to end it as soon as possible, at least

He could also go back to the city with Zheng Chunhua for a meal.

The old man didn't seem to care about this. He pointed at Zheng Chunhua and asked, "There are conditions for renting a house here. Did she tell you?"

Dong Qiangqiang shook his head deliberately: "Please tell me."

"The people who move in must read the newspaper to me for half an hour every day. In addition, they must talk to me for at least half an hour every day."

Dong Qiangqiang nodded solemnly: "That's no problem. What are your other requests?"

"Well, you can move in at any time." The old man said with a kind face, "Welcome. I will take you to see your room."

Dong Qiangqiang originally thought that the other party would question him thoroughly. He would first discuss various minor issues such as the length of renting the house, rent deposit, public health, garbage classification, house usage precautions, etc., and then check his documents, and then consider a few more questions.

Only God can give him an answer. Unexpectedly, the other party ended it without asking anything. Is this normal?

He cast doubtful eyes on Zheng Chunhua, but saw the same expression on Zheng Chunhua's face. Needless to say, she was more surprised than him.

What's going on?
