Chapter 755 The Hut
The four of them soon arrived outside the fence of the cabin.
The yard surrounded by fences is covered with wild flowers and weeds, which is completely different from humans. A wooden cannon was built under the eaves on one side of the wooden house. Under the cannon, there was a pile of firewood, and the door of the wooden house was also locked.
"Is there anyone?" Yan Liqiang called out twice outside the fence. When he found that there was no one here, he pretended to be over-the-headed and looked at Concubine Rui and others, "The owner here is probably not here, let's save him and go in!"
"Mr. Yan, there should be no one here. I guess this wooden house was built by the herb collectors who went up the mountain. Those herb collectors stayed at the mountain for a long time in autumn and winter. Some of them simply built a wooden house on the mountain, which can facilitate their living in the wooden house when collecting herbs!" Ruifei pointed to the messy flowers and plants in the yard, "Look at the grass, those grasses are hexagonal fennel, those are sword moxa. These grasses are insect-proof. It should be someone deliberately sowed the seeds here. If I guess correctly, there should be bear manure next to the wooden house and realgar in the wooden house. These are things that the herb collectors would arrange when they live on the mountain. With these things, ordinary snakes, insects and beasts will not come!"
"Hahaha, Concubine Rui is as wise as a torch. This is probably the place where the herb collectors live. Let's borrow it first!" Yan Liqiang laughed. As soon as he crossed the fence and walked into the yard, Yan Liqiang had already seen a pile of bear dung piled beside the two stones next to the door of the cottage.
When he arrived at the wooden house, Yan Liqiang stretched out his hand and twisted the ordinary copper lock hanging on the wooden house. He pushed open the door and walked in the first place.
The wooden house is not big, just fifty or sixty square meters, and the things inside are also very simple. Everything is almost wood. The things that look like a few tree stumps should be stools, and the slightly larger tree stump should be a table. There are three simple wooden beds, one big or two small, and a thick layer of straw straw was covered with a fire pit in the middle of the wooden house. There is an iron rack and a pot piled on it.
As Rui Fei guessed, Yan Liqiang saw a few small cloth bags containing realgar on the corner of the wall, and some realgar was sprinkled on the corner of the wooden house.
In addition, there are two triangle wooden racks more than one meter high and a simple wooden box in the wooden box. In the wooden box, there are some debris such as linen ropes and wooden barrels.
It seems that no one has lived here for months, and there is dust everywhere.
Of course, there are no windows in this wooden house. Fortunately, it is now in broad daylight. As soon as the door is opened and the sun comes in, the whole house is filled with light. Although this place is simple, it is the best place Yan Liqiang can find at this time.
"Let's just settle here for the time being. I guess there is no better place than here in this wilderness!" Yan Liqiang checked the wooden house and said to the three women.
The three women looked at it and nodded. Concubine Duan seemed very excited. She looked here and where to look, and finally came to the two triangle wooden frames, "Hey, sister, what are the two wooden frames in this room for?"
"This wooden rack should be a place to dry herbs such as wisteria. After those herbs are picked, they cannot be thrown or placed on the ground casually. They must be dried with wooden racks and slowly baked in this room with fire!" Ruifei smiled and looked around the wooden house. "Although this place is simple, it is possible to live in someone after taking care of it!"
"Well, then I'll start the fire first, you can dry your clothes first..." Seeing a fire scythe hanging next to the fire pit, Yan Liqiang immediately became busy and went outside the wooden house to find some dry pine hair and firewood, and started to make a fire in the fire pit of the wooden house.
The three women Rui Concubine, Duan Concubine and Yi Concubine were excited to find some tools among the pile of miscellaneous items in the house and began to take care of this small wooden house. There was another stream next to the wooden house, which was convenient for water. Although the three women were in the palace and had people to serve everything, they were not spoiled when doing work at this time, but instead seemed to find it very interesting.
Just like Concubine Yi, she thought the thick and soft straw mat on the wooden bed was very interesting. When cleaning the wooden bed in the house, she even asked Concubine Rui strangely, "Sister Rui, the mat on this bed is soft and thick, what is it made of?"
"This is a straw strawberry!"
Concubine Yi asked curiously, "Ah, I think this thing is pretty good, soft and thick, and breathable. Why isn't it in the palace? Is this thing very expensive?"
Concubine Rui was amused by her, "If this is the palace, your Majesty must cut off the head of the eunuch who bought it!"
“Why?”
Duan Fei covered her mouth and chuckled, "My sister has been in a wealthy family since she was a child. She may have never seen a bed made of straw straws. This thing can only be used in the homes of poor people among the people. It is because it is cheap, and even she can spend a penny. It can be cut, beat, dry and weave together. It is better than straw mats, durable, and not easily damp, so it is thrown into this wooden house in the mountains!"
It didn't take long for Yan Liqiang to burn the fire in the fire pit. He brought a little fire from outside. Soon, the fire flashed in the whole wooden house and suddenly became warm. At this time, the three women had already cleaned the wooden house roughly, and it looked much cleaner and refreshing, at least not so much dust.
"A few ladies, you guys can dry your clothes in the house first, I'll guard outside!"
"Well, then it's time for Lord Yan!"
Yan Liqiang said, then left the wooden house, closed the door, and then came to the stream outside the wooden house, more than 20 meters away from the wooden house, and found a stone to sit cross-legged to the wooden house. While meditating to restore strength, bask in the sun, and use his energy to heat up his body and dry his clothes. Even if there is fire in the wooden house, Yan Liqiang will not be able to run into the house alone, take off his clothes and roast it later, and then ask a few empresses to guard him outside the door, so he can only be self-sufficient.
Although Yan Liqiang's eyes could not see the situation in the house, his hearing was very sharp. All the movements and stills in the wooden house naturally reached his ears.
A whirlwind sound came from the room for a moment. It was probably the three women who started taking off their clothes inside. Then a gentle scream from Concubine Duan said, "Ah, sister, you're so big!"
Concubine Rui's shy voice came, "Sister, please speak quietly, Lord Yan is still outside, please be careful..."
"Sister, don't worry, I just saw Lord Yan sitting by the stream there, so far away, we were so quiet, and we were in the house again, how could he hear it!"
"Ah, the door in the room has not been sold yet, I'll go and sell it!"
"Hehe, why are you doing so nervous in my sister? If Lord Yan comes in, I can take off his clothes and bake them with us. I see that Lord Yan's clothes are also wet..."
Concubine Rui quickly interrupted, "You can't let others hear this, otherwise it would be so polite. Anyone who knows knows that her sister is straightforward and loves to joke with us sisters. Those who don't know think that there is something between us and Lord Yan!"
"There are no one else here, only the three of us!" Although Duan Fei's voice was delicate, she had a sense of indifference. "Last night in the water, sister, you, me, and sister Yi, have you been kissed by Lord Yan? Isn't this a problem?"
"Then it's not a relative, that's Lord Yan saving us and giving us a breath under the water. We're in a hurry to follow the power!"
"Since you are in a hurry to follow the power, why are you so blushing with your face, sister..."
"I... don't have..."
"Sister, please let Sister Yi see if she blushed? Ah, I understand. Sister Yi's face is so blushed. It must be because she remembered the fact that Lord Yan was holding her sister and polishing her belt by the river. Sister, you are secretly telling us now that you are so beautiful. At that time, Lord Yan could hold you and not do anything else except polishing your belt. I saw Sister Yi was so jealous at that time... Oh, why are you two pinching me again..."
...
Three women were talking in the wooden house. Concubine Rui and Concubine Yi were fine, but Concubine Duan was coquettish and often made amazing words. Yan Liqiang, who was meditating, listened at first, but later Yan Liqiang felt a little embarrassed to hear a few women talking, so he simply kept his heart in mind and completely forgot that he had a pair of ears.
Finally, it took more than two hours before the door of the wooden house was opened again. Concubine Duan, with a red face, walked out and came directly to Yan Liqiang. She looked at Yan Liqiang with a smile and said in a sweet voice, "Sir Yan, our clothes have been baked, this... Otherwise, you can go in and bake your clothes too!"
"Thank you for your concern. My clothes are dry, so I don't have to bake them!"
"Ah, why did it work so quickly? I'll touch it!" As Concubine Duan said, her hand naturally stretched over, touched Yan Liqiang's arms and shoulders twice, and gently pinched it.
"There is a sun outside, and I used a little internal force, so I quickly got it done. Since the empresses had already baked their clothes, I took a break in the house. Yesterday I went to find something to eat, and it was nearby and I would come back soon!" Yan Liqiang said, taking a step back without a trace.
"That's great, I feel a little hungry, Lord Yan, let me go with you!" Concubine Duan's eyes fluttered, and she leaned towards Yan Liqiang.
"No, no, I'll find something to eat, and then look at the nearby terrain. The empress followed her, but it was still the same!"
"Well, that's OK!" Concubine Duan smiled and looked at Yan Liqiang gently as water. "Sister Rui said that she saw some wild ginger on the grass behind the house just now. You can cook some ginger soup to relieve the cold. Let's cook some ginger soup in the house first and wait for you to come back. Don't come back too late, let's be careful!"
Why does it feel a little weird?
