Chapter 25 Shit luck
The two girls led him to the opposite path he had just walked, and walked behind the woods.
The owl at night cried silently, which was very strange, which made him shivering.
Occasionally, treetops swept to his shoulder along the way, and were stunned, thinking that something was unclean and patted him. In short, he walked very carefully along the way.
But the difference is that the two women were very natural and did not feel afraid at all.
Could it be that he got used to it over time? However, he looked at their clothes and they were all very new. Even those who escaped from marriage only seemed to have just escaped for two days.
If they have escaped for many days, then these exquisite clothes will be worn or worn out in the wild forest. Or if they have come out longer, they should at least change into this grand outfit, such as simple clothes, so that they will not attract attention and can better avoid being caught. But they did not.
Their fearlessness, or even a little fear, made him, a big man, look as timid as a mouse. He walked in the cemetery in the middle of the night and had just experienced being followed by evil ghosts. Shouldn't he be afraid?
How were they so calm? It was the lady who reminded him that there was no shadow.
Lin Suqing was full of doubts and had nowhere to prove it. At this moment, the lady suddenly looked back and asked him.
"I was negligent and never asked the grand name of the young master? "
Lin Suqing was stunned when she heard this and couldn't help but think a little more. The second prince had taught him before that he could not tell his name casually, because he could directly harm others through his name and birth date.
He didn't know whether the lady asked intentionally or was just an ordinary and polite word inadvertently. I hope he was too sensitive.
"I don't have the name of Lin and Su Qing."
When he was in Danxue Mountain, his name was sealed by His Highness the Second Prince himself, so he was not afraid to say it out. However, for fairness, he also had to ask the lady's name.
"Please ask, what do you call a girl?"
He answered her by name. Since he asked back now, as a courtesy, the lady should also answer him by name.
The girl was shy again, her handkerchief covered her red lips lightly, and said shyly: "Just call me Afu."
Lin Suqing suddenly twitched in his heart. Such a polite lady seemed to not understand what he meant at this time, but she didn't say her name, but only answered her love name.
He immediately became suspicious. Did she hide it intentionally or unintentionally?
Miss Afu suddenly stopped, raised her eyes to favour him, then lowered her eyes and repeated softly: "Lin Suqing..."
He was stunned, thinking that she was going to do something, but he saw the girl Afu smiled shyly and said, "What a nice but hard to remember..."
The last half of the sentence... I don't know if it was his excessive guess, but he always felt that Miss Afu seemed to be deliberately recording his name.
...
While I was talking, a simple little thatched hut appeared in front of me.
It was an isolated and weird little thatched hut, but he couldn't tell what was weird, perhaps because of the geographical environment?
He had passed many small thatched huts along the way, except for the simple thatched huts that were built to facilitate night rest, were located in the fields. All the other thatched huts stood beside the ridge of the field.
Those normal thatched huts usually have their backs against rocks. Even if they are not reliable, they will rely on high ridges. In short, there must be some support behind the house and will never leave the hut behind empty.
Moreover, the fields will be reclaimed on at least three sides. The closer the fields are, the more convenient it is to go out to farm, and the vision will be relatively broad.
However, the small thatched hut where Afu and Xiaohong live is different from any other thatched hut. It is hidden deep in the forest and has to pass through a forest to discover it.
In addition, their small thatched hut stood suddenly on a wasteland. It was not against rocks or on the fields. It was empty on all sides and there was no cultivated land in front of it. It was a desolate soil flat dam.
The most unreasonable thing is that a big tree is planted in front of the right side of the small thatched hut, and the big tree is particularly redundant in the desolation on all sides. Its existence just blocked the moonlight, otherwise the lighting of this thatched hut would not have been so dark.
When I walked closer, I thought it was a thatched hut from afar, but in fact, it should be two.
There is a relatively large room, next to it, a small one, one big one and one small one. From the layout, the large one should be the main house. Because the small room has some dry firewood piled up in front of the door, and many pepper and corn skewers are hung, it can be seen that the cottage seems to be used as a way to a kitchen or woodshed room.
Afu went up to unlock the door lock of the big room, pushed open the door and signaled Lin Suqing, "Please, please."
The main house is not actually big, and the door is too low, so he has to bend over to enter.
There is only a bed in the innermost part of the wall. In fact, it is not a bed. It is just paved with palms and hay, and a thin quilt is simply arranged on it.
The end of the bed is a distance from the wall. A simple dressing table made of firewood and wooden boards stands against the wall, and there are no stools. I think the two girls should sit directly at the end of the bed when they are dressing up.
There is a narrow and rough square table in the middle of the room, and two long stools, which are placed under the table one mile and one another.
Lin Suqing was standing at the door just before she felt that the house was very cramped. It was really hard for these two girls to live here.
The two of them could barely have some room for movement in the main room. If he, a tall man, went in again, there would not be much room for turning around in the main room.
He thought in his heart, otherwise he would have been able to go to the hut for one night. Just as he was about to turn around and go out, he ran into Afu and Xiaohong, one after another.
"We made some wine with wild fruits a few days ago. If the young master doesn't mind, he can drink a few glasses to drive away the moisture from the night and sleep well."
When he just looked at the house, he made a step further. Now they were standing at the door. If he wanted to go out, he had to pass them.
Afu had a jar of wine in his hand, and Xiaohong also held something in her hand, and she was holding three stacks of cold dishes on a wooden tray.
Afu came in with a smile and passed by him. When she was about to pass by her, she softly invited her, "Please take your seat, please."
She gently placed the jar of wine on the narrow square table, turned around and raised her face slightly, staring at Lin Suqing.
This... it is hard to refuse. He really couldn't bear to refuse, so he nodded and agreed without realizing it.
Afu stood in front of the stool near the outside. Lin Suqing had no choice but to walk in and sit in the inner seat. Behind her was the haystack-like bed.
When Xiaohong gently put down the three stacks of cold dishes, Afu untied the seal on the wine jar and poured down a bowl of wine.
The wine bowl was very simple. In his original world, it was called a shang. It was a flat-bottom bowl with an oval shape and a shallow belly. To be unique, it was the half-moon-shaped ears on both sides of the bowl, so it was also called an ear cup. However, this crafted wine bowl only continued until the Han and Jin Dynasties and was no longer used by people, so it was difficult to see again in the later period.
Unexpectedly, there is such a wine bowl in this world.
"Young Master, come and taste the wine made by our sisters."
Afu sat opposite him, and had already handed the wine bowl to his hand in his words. If he didn't take it, he would really disobey the girl's kindness.
"Thank you, Miss Afu." He took it politely. The wine bowl felt very smooth and seemed to be used frequently.
Lin Suqing tasted it lightly, but couldn't taste the smell of wine. The sweetness of the fruit in his mouth was all over the mouth. He drank it a bit more, but he still couldn't taste the smell of wine.
Afu continued to make him full again, and Yanran smiled and said, "The method of making wine between us sisters is not very good. Somehow it is not good. Please don't laugh at me."
"Where, where, it's sweet and delicious." Lin Suqing felt that the taste was very close to fruity beer, but there was no stimulation of beer, and there was not much difference between drinking juice.
"Since the young master likes it, Xiaohong will go and get more." Xiaohong said, put down her chopsticks and went out, and in a blink of an eye, she brought in two large jars.
When she put it down, she turned to Lin Suqing and said, "Although this wine is so sweet that it can't taste the wine, it's actually very intoxicating. The lady usually gets drunk by accident."
Afu was ashamed of her words, and immediately said shyly: "Just talk nonsense." Then he quickly apologized to Lin Suqing, "Actually, the little woman has a shallow alcohol tolerance, so it's not the wine."
As she said that, she filled a bowl for Lin Suqing.
A simple room, a simple square wooden table, three side dishes, a jar of wine, two women and one man, three people, living together.
To be honest, he was a little restrained. After all, he had lived for more than twenty years and had never had such a special experience.
Perhaps it is because the room is too narrow, or perhaps it is because the candlelight is too dim, and the atmosphere seems a bit ambiguous, making people blush involuntarily and beating heartbeat.
Lin Suqing was a little embarrassed, so he just kept rushing to eat with side dishes. The dishes were very ordinary, with a stack of cold peanuts, a stack of green onions and tofu, and a stack of wild vegetable roots or something. He didn't recognize it very much.
The wine was very sweet and refreshing, so I couldn't help but drink it again. Afu continued it for him very gently and considerately, and he spoke softly. Xiaohong talked with a singular and straightforward personality, which was a completely different personality from Afu.
He was thinking in his mind that if one family married these two girls together, life would be very interesting and life would be very perfect.
...
The two sisters advised him to eat and drink, fearing that he would be boring to drink alone, and even played the same tricks with him, which was very entertaining.
While talking and laughing, the three of them drank several big jars without paying attention.
Lin Suqing's concerns about them gradually dissipated, thinking that if he was intentionally trying to harm him, he should have done it long ago, so how could he provide food and drink like this?
But when he thought about this, he suddenly felt a little drowsy in his head, and then he realized that he seemed to be a little drunk. Not only did he feel dizzy in his head, but his eyes began to get a little sleepy.
It turned out that although the fruit wine had no smell, it still had the energy to drink and was slowly rising. He stopped and was alert to not be able to drink anymore. Drunk was also a mistake, but it was easy to miss his fate here.
"Don't persuade two girls anymore. I can't help but feel drunk." He was about to get up, but he staggered and sat down again. He smiled awkwardly, and then stood up with the table.
"I have to hurry up and go at dawn, so I won't drink much. Thank you for your hospitality."
He held the corner of the table and was about to leave, but he staggered again, and fell on Afu who was about to get up. The fragrance of rouge and pollen came to his nose, which was very tempting and intoxicating.
He quickly stood up and apologized: "I didn't mean it, the girl forgives me."
