Chapter 44
Chapter 44
After hearing what the servants who passed by them said, Fan Yu's expression became somewhat indescribable. I didn't see the corridor at the other end, turned to the left, and after a short walk, I came to a building. The four of them looked up in unison, probably sighing in their hearts that the building is quite magnificent.
Maybe those in Fan Yu's family just think this building is magnificent, but Fan Yu still thinks that the ghostly aura it carries is still there, just like the buildings everywhere in this government office, they all have such ghosts. Gas, as if it can't be taken off.
At this time, he suddenly thought that perhaps it was because the appearance of this mansion and the appearance of the people inside made him, a person from his previous world, feel like a hell, that's why he was born in broad daylight. It felt strangely like being in a dream, like having a dream and going to hell for a while.
He led the others from his family into this building. In the main hall, there is a long table on the north side, a few wooden piers on the bottom, and a chair behind the table, which is also like the chair in Xia Houyi's study. Yes, it is enough for two people to sit, and the back of the chair is extremely short.A few days ago, there was a person sitting on the chair. It must be a small official here, who is in charge of these redemption affairs.And a couple of men, women and a child were sitting on those short mounds a few days ago, perhaps a pair of parents in the fish girl city were redeeming the deed for their ten-year-old child, and wanted to redeem their original home. go.
Fan Yu and the others stood a few minutes away from there and waited quietly, thinking that they would go forward to deal with them after this group of people finished their work.
After a while, as if the group of people had finished their work, the woman put her arm around the side of the child's face, and the child wrapped around the woman's waist, and the father-like man walked beside the child. Just like this, the family walked out of the main hall.
And the little officials who came a few days later glanced at the mother-in-law, and the mother-in-law reminded them to sit down.
After they sat down, Fan Yu still didn't know what he was thinking about.It wasn't until her mother-in-law had handed over the current deed between him and Zu Xin to the official, and nudged Fan Yu with her elbow, that Fan Yu raised his head, but suddenly found that the official's face was also quite ferocious. There were two blushes suspiciously on his face.He stared again, and found that the little official looked at Zu Xin and was embarrassed. He wanted to laugh, but because he was so preoccupied at the moment, he couldn't laugh, and his face was mixed with different emotions. Looking at it makes people feel awkward.
He listened carefully to what the mother-in-law had said to the young man, and saw that the man took a pen from his right hand, and was about to spread out a piece of paper specially used to write a life-long redemption contract, when Fan Yu suddenly said: "Please Just write his, and I won’t do mine today.” As he spoke, he pointed at Zu Xin who was sitting next to his mother-in-law.
The mother-in-law was sitting between him and Zu Xin, and at this moment, Pu Ding was standing between the legs of the sitting Fan Yu. A few days ago, there were only three pier, and there was no place for him to sit, so he could only stand .
As soon as he said this, the three of them looked at him in surprise.
He said: "It's okay, Zu Xin will deal with it first, and I will tell you when I get back." He had his own plan.He thought about going up to the mountain with the cave-like cave tonight to see the people waiting to die inside.He didn't know how many people were inside, he wanted to see their situation first, and wondered if he could save one or two.Those people should not be able to wait. There is no food and water on that mountain, so they should not be able to wait. If there are many people, there must be a lot of money to spend. He might as well not redeem his own deed first, and look at them first. Let’s talk about the situation on the mountain and where the money will be spent.Anyway, if he earns more money, it will be a matter of time before he redeems a deed, and it is not in a hurry.And the life and death of those who had run out of food had become imperative.
And he really didn't know what the situation on the mountain was like, whether there was anyone guarding it, whether the entrance of the cave was locked by an iron fence, and how easy it was to go up the mountain. He didn't know very well. After reaching the seventies, humanoids will be taken up the mountain, but they haven't thought about the details about that.Don’t think about those little things, one is because you don’t want to think about it, it’s scary to think about it, so what else do you need to think about, and the other is that people like them subconsciously believe that they shouldn’t be able to live that too If you are old, why bother to think about it.
Now that he had this plan, he decided not to deal with his own business first, which shocked everyone in his family.
Unexpectedly, Zu Xin said at this time: "If you don't redeem it, then I won't redeem it either." Fan Yu said: "It's all here, so let's redeem yours first. It doesn't matter." Zu Xinfei said no, If Fan Yu redeemed him someday, he would redeem him together.The little official sitting in the back looked at Fan Yu for a while, and then at Zu Xin for a while, holding up a pen, not knowing what to do.
Fan Yu said: "Hey, just listen to me, if I tell you to redeem it, you can redeem it, what the hell! I will come later to redeem it. Don't play your temper here. Come here, one thing It’s impossible to leave without doing anything.” Fan Yu saw that the little officials who were born a few days ago had all raised their pens, and if they really left like this, it would be a bit like playing with others.
After that, the mother-in-law persuaded him a few words. Zu Xin had already stood up and wanted to go out, and wanted to "show his ambition with this", but was persuaded to sit down again and redeemed his life contract.The official wrote the content of the deed on the paper like an official document, and finally stamped the seal of the official office. The mother-in-law took out a savings note that Fan Yu deposited in her name from her backpack. I handed it over to the official, and the amount of money on the money-saving note was just enough to redeem Zu Xin alone. There was another piece of money-saving note in the mother-in-law's backpack, which was originally a ransom for Fan Yu, but it seems that at this time It's useless for half a meeting.The deed that followed Zu Xin was handed over to Zu Xin, and he himself will take care of it in the future.
After Zu Xin's affairs were settled, they and his party left the mansion.It was not until he returned to his home on the mountain that Fan Yu said what he was thinking.The mother-in-law knew a lot about this matter. She told the location of the mountain, and said that the mountain and the cave seemed to be unguarded according to the rumors. It was a barren mountain. Those who were put on the mountain got food from the mountain.The mother-in-law also said that generally children accept their own fate. It is rare to see children who have any sense of resistance.Generally speaking, people from government offices often go up, and most of the time they just go up to clean up the corpses of people who have starved to death.
The few of them went to do this in the morning. When they got back, Fan Yu roughly explained what was on his mind, and the mother-in-law and Zu Xin had to rush to clean up those baskets and baskets. I went down the mountain to the house to cook for the craftsmen in the house.
After her mother-in-law and the others left, Buding took the rations for the dogs that her mother-in-law had prepared in the morning in the basin on the side of the kitchen stove in front, and then went between the two houses to feed Xiaozheng and them.And Fan Yu stayed in the front kitchen to prepare some simple meals, and he and Buding would have lunch soon.
In the afternoon, he took Puding down the mountain to the house, called two strong men, and said that he would come to the house again after dinner, and asked them to follow him Going to the barren hills in the west of the city, the two of them said they knew it, and they would follow him when they arrived.
After he finished going to the house, he led Bu Ding to Xiahouyi's mansion, thinking that when he got there, he might as well mention to Xiahouyi that he had dinner earlier today.
When he arrived at Xiahouyi's mansion, because he arrived early today, he went to Xiahouyi's study first, thinking that he should also be in his study.After going there, I saw him sitting inside.When Xia Houyi saw him coming, he raised his hand to beckon him to go and sit down.He sat down again on the chair behind the desk facing the study door, and he let Pudin run around the room.Bu Ding is not called abiding by the rules, he just has such a temperament, like swallowing water, most of the time he is silent, because even if Fan Yu told him to run around in this room, he didn't know what to do. Where to go.So just like a lazy cat in the afternoon, with only light steps, it floats to the east for a while, and then slowly floats to the west for a while, and it is like a small spool of cotton yarn, turning here and there for a while. Turned there again.It's just very light, unlike the kind of skinny and energetic child who rolls to the east like a mouse on the wooden floor of an old house once he is let go of by an adult. It rolled to the west again and made such a loud noise.Every time he turned around, he had to look up, because all the cabinets and cabinets in this room were very high, and he couldn't reach any of them, so he could only look up.
Xia Houyi asked Fan Yu what he was doing today, and why he came so early today.Fan Yu thought about it, but he didn't want to tell him at first, because he didn't want to tell him too much about his business or family affairs, so he felt that there was something to tell, in case this person took it as a It's not good that he wants to help him.What's more, these things now are all things that he can get done, it's useless to say, and it's a waste of time, it would be nice to have that time to get things done directly.A businessman like Fan Yu usually cherishes time and words.
But he also thought that he hadn't hidden anything from him these days, and told him everything, if he didn't say anything, it seemed like he wanted to cover it up, as if he had something to say to him and wanted to cover it up As if gone.
So, despite the dilemma, he had to say, who told him to come early today, who asked him to come here every day for free dinner.When it comes to this free dinner, he always feels that something is not quite right.Just because it is reasonable to say that there is no free lunch in the world, so by the same token, there should be no free dinner, so he still comes here to eat free dinner every day, so he should have to pay some price.But every time he thinks about this, he thinks again, maybe he himself helped Xia Houyi to get some new dishes that are easy to sell and can be sold at a high price - grilled meat platter, baked buns and so on. If the person intends to develop a long-term business relationship with him, he invites him to have dinner every day, just as he also intends to have a long-term friendship development plan with this person.
After Fan Yu soothed a certain uneasiness in his heart, he whitewashed a kind of peace on the surface, thinking that coming to this person every day to eat this free dinner is really a free dinner, and there should be no more What price did he have to pay.
Hearing Xia Houyi asked him that way before, he paused for a while before saying: "Oh, don't mention it... I went to the government office here with Zu Xin and my mother-in-law today to redeem the life contract." Xia Houyi asked: "Oh? Then you have redeemed it?" Fan Yu said: "That's not true, so I will redeem it for him first. If I keep my part of the money, there may be other places to spend it." Xiahou B asked: "Where is it? Are you short of money?" Fan Yu said: "It's okay, it's not a shortage. Don't ask, I'll tell you later."
