Chapter 334 Embarrassing
But Lao Hu didn't immediately agree. He lowered his head and pondered for a long time, "Old Bai, I know what you're thinking, but I've been hunting in the mountains and forests for a living all my life, and I'm used to this kind of life... "

Old Man Bai interrupted Lao Hu's words, "Don't be in a hurry to reject me, think about it carefully, anyway, I'm not in a hurry to leave this time, I'm going to live in the mountains for a few days, and when I'm about to leave, Can you tell me again?"

Old Hu thought for a while, then nodded with a smile, "That's okay, by the way, I was so busy serving you meals that I forgot to bring the wine!"

Hearing that there was still wine, all the men present cheered up, and soon Lao Hu brought a big jar, which contained high-quality corn shochu, and soaked two authentic old mountain ginseng , the thick and long roots of ginseng are obviously good things that are more than a hundred years old.

Lao Hu's family didn't have so many belongings, and the people present didn't mind, just rinsed the bowl after drinking the soup, poured Baogu ginseng wine and drank it.

The drinking was hearty, and the old man Bai soon became drunk and passed out. Bai Donglai placed him in a corner of the kang, covered him with a quilt, and fell asleep.

Lao Hu has a good capacity for alcohol, maybe he is used to drinking this kind of wine, and then he released six or seven young men who took turns toasting to him. Only then did he stand up and lead Nanxi and Geng Kun towards the wing.

Lao Hu's house is very big, in addition to the main room, there are east and west wing rooms, and half of the room in these two wing rooms is also covered with kangs. As soon as you enter the room, you will be greeted by hot air, which is very warm.

Lao Hu pointed to the clean bedding on the kang, and said to Nanxi and Geng Kun, "You two will sleep in this room. Close the door at night, and the people in the main room will not disturb you!"

Geng Kun was afraid that Nanxi would be thin-skinned, so he quickly explained, "We're not married yet!"

Old Hu smiled nonchalantly, "That's okay, you can just be Liu Xiahui once, my house is under construction in the mountains, the wind is strong in the middle of the night, the little girl must be afraid to live in this house alone, you You have to stay with her in the house!"

Geng Kun looked at the room and felt that it was empty. If Nanxi only slept alone, she would definitely be afraid if the mountain wind howled in the middle of the night. Besides, the place where Lao Hu lives is very evil, and there is still room for staying in the cabin last night. The black bear came in.

"Sure, then I'll stay with Nanxi in this room," Geng Kun immediately agreed. He is a gentleman, and he wanted to protect Nanxi in everything, but he didn't think about other places.

Although Lao Hu drank some wine, his mind was still very clear, so he pointed and told the two people where to get water and how to wash.

Nan Xi nodded, keeping these things in mind.

Lao Hu led them around the courtyard, and Nan Xi could see that Lao Hu was the only one living in the courtyard of Nuo Da. No wonder Mr. Bai would invite this old friend down the mountain. This old nonsense said It's also really pitiful.

Seeing that a group of people were sleeping in disorder in the main room, and she couldn't count on others to do the work, Nan Xi rolled up her sleeves and went to the kitchen to wash the pots and dishes, but Lao Hu stopped her from doing it.

Lao Hu added a few ladles of water to the big iron pot. There was leftover chicken and mushroom soup in it. After adding water, it turned into a pot of diluted chicken and mushroom soup. After the water boiled, Lao Hu scooped it up with a large wooden ladle. Put the cornmeal in the pot and stir, "I haven't fed my dogs yet, so I can improve their lives by taking advantage of the good soup today!"

The aroma of corn broth wafted out of the house, and Nanxi saw the dogs in the yard start to fidget, drooling from the corner of their mouths, "Grandpa Hu, they know you've cooked for them!"

Old Hu laughed, "Beasts are also human. They have been with me for several years and know what I want to do!"

Seeing that the cornmeal broth in the pot was cooked, Lao Hu took a large enamel pot from the yard, put the hot broth in it, and took it out. I took water from my pocket and started to wash the dishes.

Geng Kun also rolled up his sleeves to help. He didn't have the habits of the old-school people in Beining. He felt that men don't cook and do things like that. "Nanxi, don't touch your hands. Let me wash them!"

Because Geng Kun had something on his mind, he was thinking about taking care of Nanxi, so he didn't drink much, and he was very sober at the moment, and the two of them finished washing the dishes happily.

Then I added enough coals to the stove, and boiled hot water in the cleaned cauldron, so that it would be convenient for the big guys to wake up and wash their hands and faces.

After entering the yard, the two found that Lao Hu's seven or eight big dogs had finished their meal, and were licking their mouths contentedly, squatting obediently beside Lao Hu, letting him stroke their hair!
Nanxi was not afraid of dogs when she was young, so she walked over to touch her happily, but was grabbed by Geng Kun, who warned her in a low voice, "Nanxi is a hunting dog!"

Old Hu laughed when he saw it, stretched out his hand to grab the biggest dog with the darkest fur, and let Nanxi touch his head, "It's okay, little girls like kittens and puppies, my dogs are very good, Everyone in the village loves it!"

Nan Xi blew into the palm of his hand, and reached out to touch the head of the big black dog. The latter was pressed by the old Hu with an aggrieved face, "Okay, Grandpa Hu, let it go, it doesn't seem to be willing!"

You know, Nanxi is a girl with integrity, she won't do things that are difficult for a dog.

The huts for these dogs are on the opposite side of the kitchen. These two rooms are much lower than the wing rooms, but they are also made of blue bricks. It can be seen that although Lao Hu lives in the mountains, he has earned a lot of money. .

Seeing a group of big dogs swarming back to his shack, Lao Hu asked Nanxi and Geng Kun to go back to the room to sleep for a while, "You can rest assured to go back to the room and fall asleep. With these little guys looking at the yard, there will be no one Come make trouble!"

Nan Xi agreed, and turned around to leave, but was stopped by Lao Hu, who patted his forehead and said angrily, "Nan Xi, I've been thinking of asking you a question, I just remembered now, are you Bai Dongli's daughter?"

Nan Xi froze for a moment, then nodded, "I am!"

Lao Hu nodded, "Old Bai can bring you here, I guess you are. When your father came to visit me, you were not born yet. Let me guess, he must have never given birth to a son, right?"

Nanxi nodded, "My father had an accident after he came to see you!"

Old Hu stopped smiling, and narrowed his eyes like copper bells, "He's still very young, but really...then did he pass the necklace to you?"

This is still Nanxi, the first time she heard an outsider talk about the necklace, she couldn't help but solemnly said, "Yes, he gave me the necklace, but unfortunately I lost it again!"

"Ah, I lost it... This matter is so difficult..." Lao Hu was very surprised, but he didn't know what he thought of, so he sat there frowning for a while and thought hard.

Nan Xi waited for a while and saw that Lao Hu had no intention of speaking, so she greeted him and left.
