portable space

Zhang Taiping took out a snakeskin bag he carried with him and put three jars of tiger bone wine in it. It was a little inconvenient, but it was the only way to take it out.

"What's that in your hand?" I saw Wukong twisting the thing in his hand into a circle, and it looked like a fan.

Wukong stopped and presented the thing in his hand to him.

"It's a gun." Cai Yazhi said.

"Did you enter that room?" Zhang Taiping asked.

Wukong nodded, presented the spear in his hand to Zhang Taiping that could hold up to two of its height, turned over and prepared to walk back into the house.

Zhang Taiping took the spear and said: "Don't go in again." He weighed the spear with his hand. The head of the spear was already three inches long and the body was very sharp. It should have been a sharp weapon for piercing, but it was now rusty.

I can no longer feel the cold air emanating from it. The gun body still remains black, hard but without losing its toughness.

He danced two spear flowers casually, and threaded two plum blossoms blown down by the wind on the tip of the spear.

Fan Ming took two plum petals off the tip of the gun, put it under his nose and smelled it, then gently touched the tip of the gun with his fingers and said, "It must be very sharp if it's not rusty."

"It must be very sharp. If this gun is not rusty, it will definitely be a murder weapon." After saying that, he turned the gun around and inserted it head down next to the plum blossom tree. "Let's go."

"You really don't want to go in and take a look?" Fan Ming was still a little unwilling.

Zhang Taiping shook his head: "I won't read it."

After leaving the valley, Fan Ming was still thinking about the tiger and asked, "Will we not see the tiger this time?"

"Other people go into the mountains expecting not to see tigers, but you are better off hoping to see tigers instead." Zhang Taiping said with a wry smile, "The mountains are so big, and you need good luck to see tigers."

Fan Ming pouted and said, "My luck is indeed bad. So wouldn't today be in vain?"

"Isn't it just a waste of time?" Zhang Taiping said, "I told you not to come, but you came anyway."

"How about we walk around the nearby hills, maybe we can see traces of tigers." Fan Ming still reluctantly came up with an idea.

Zhang Taiping looked at her with a smile and said, "I have no objection. If you want to spend the night here, I will accompany you."

Fan Ming looked at the sun that was already turning to the west, and then looked at the surrounding environment. She still didn't have the courage to spend the night in such a wilderness in the middle of winter. She sighed and said, "Let's go back."

It was already dark when I got home, actually it was only after six o'clock, but in winter it gets dark as soon as the sun sets.

"Woo..." As soon as they entered the yard, the big dogs were ready to pounce forward, making a rolling sound in their throats.

"I'm not a thief!" A voice came from the stone at the entrance of the courtyard.

"Dasha?" Zhang Taiping was surprised, really surprised why he was here.

"Commander, you are back." Dasha, who was sitting on the stone, heard Zhang Taiping's voice and shouted happily.

"Why are you here?" Zhang Taiping walked up to him and saw him sitting on the stone, not daring to move, and said, "Get up, you don't mind the coldness of the stone."

Dasha didn't dare to move and said: "These big dogs look very scared. Generally speaking, if you encounter a big dog, as long as you don't move, the dog will not take the initiative to bite people."

Zhang Taiping smiled, waved his hand and drove the big dogs back into the yard, and then said, "Can you stand up now?"

Dasha stood up, stretched his head, looked into the yard and said, "What kind of dog are you? Why is it so big? It can hold up to three or four ordinary dogs. I have never seen it before."

Zhang Taiping said: "Don't worry about it now. Let's talk about it after we get inside. It's very cold outside."

At this time, Wukong jumped out from behind Zhang Taiping and jumped directly in front of Dasha.

Dasha was so startled that he immediately raised his hands in a defensive posture.

"Wukong!" Zhang Taiping scolded.

When Wukong saw the big man, he was frightened by him, and he jumped happily and ran into the house.

He was startled, but he didn't see clearly what suddenly appeared in front of him. He only knew that his face was covered with hair and he was still wearing clothes. He breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest and said: "Commander, that thing just now is

What?"

Zhang Taiping explained: "It's a monkey."

"Monkey?" Dasha was very surprised, "How can a monkey still wear clothes?" Then he suddenly said, "I understand, this is your domestic monkey, right?"

Zhang Taiping nodded: "Let's talk after we enter the room."

It was very warm inside the room. Dasha rubbed his hands that were stiff from the cold and said, "It's so warm. Dasha, is your home equipped with air conditioning?"

Zhang Taiping shook his head and said: "There is no air conditioning, just a few stoves."

Seeing that several people had returned safely, Cai Yazhi finally let go of her worries and explained to Zhang Taiping: "Sister Xing told me about this gentleman. I asked him to wait for you in the house, but he insisted.

There's nothing we can do if we don't go into the house but sit at the entrance of the yard waiting for you."

Zhang Taiping nodded. He understood that all such people accept death. Once a decision is made, few people can change it. He turned to Cai Yazhi and said, "Is there anything to eat?"

Cai Yazhi said: "Dinner is ready."

Zhang Taiping smiled and asked Dasha: "When did you come here today?"

Dasha replied: "I came here at noon."

"Then you just keep waiting outside?"

"Yes," Dasha nodded and said, "I heard from your wife that you went into the mountains, so she has been waiting for you outside."

"Why don't you come in and sit inside?" Zhang Taiping asked.

"Your house is full of women. It's not convenient for me to be a man."

Zhang Taiping smiled and shook his head and said, "You haven't eaten yet today, have you?"

Dasha's stomach growled dissatisfiedly when he heard the word "eat". He scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "I set out from the village before dawn in the morning and arrived here at noon, but I haven't eaten yet."

"Then let's sit down and eat together." Zhang Taiping patted his shoulder and said.

In the evening, we ate machizi. Cai Yazhi knew that Dasha hadn't eaten anything all day, so she used a big old bowl for him and the same old bowl for Zhang Taiping.

Zhang Taiping was never particular about eating at home. He was very fast and a big bowl of machizi went into his stomach very quickly. But Dasha didn't know what was more particular about eating. He was also very fast and finished the meal at the same time.

Zhang Taiping said: "Another bowl?"

Dasha touched his stomach and said, "No, I'm full."

Zhang Taiping said: "Since you have come to my house, if you are polite, you will not see me outside."

Dasha curled a finger and said: "Then let's have another half bowl, half a bowl."

Zhang Taiping smiled, shook his head and said to Cai Yazhi: "Give him another bowl, and give me another bowl."

The two of them had another bowl of mochi and finished it quickly.

Zhang Taiping asked: "What, are you full? Do you want another bowl?"

Dasha quickly waved his hand and said, "I'm really full this time. You can see my belly is bloated." He patted his belly.

Seeing him like this, all the other women in the room laughed.

After the meal, Zhang Taiping asked Fasi the reason for his visit: "What are you doing here this time?"

Dasha solemnly said: "You saved my life that time. My mother told me that I must repay those who are kind to me. I don't have anything valuable at home. I saved my life. You

You can do whatever you want me to do."

Zhang Taiping really didn't know what to say to this kind of person who accepted death. He changed the subject and didn't talk about this matter. Instead, he asked: "Your money was stolen. How did you celebrate the New Year after you returned home?"

Dasha said: "There is an old aunt in the village. I ate and stayed at her house during the Chinese New Year. I told the old aunt that Marshal you saved my life and brought me back.

He also said that Marshal, you are a good person. Let me come here and ask you to find me a job to make money. I don’t ask Marshal to find a job for me. As long as I can have a mouth to eat and a place to live, Marshal, please let me do it.

I will do whatever I want."

Hearing this, everyone in the room looked at each other. What's the difference between being a slave and a maid?

ps: Life has been a bit chaotic these days, and I have gone too far in confusing black and white, so this post is a bit late, so please forgive me.
