Chapter 41 Renovation Plan

When the house was almost repaired, Xu Weiqiu packed some simple bags and moved here to live.

Out of curiosity, Xu Xiaoke came to her new residence to have a look. She walked around the outer wall and saw the shabby appearance of the earthen house.

However, Xu Weiqiu's transformation plan has just begun.

Everyone wants to live more comfortably, and Xu Weiqiu is no exception. She drew a very good drawing according to the original structure of the earthen house and some modern architectural concepts.

Looking at the drawings, she was very satisfied, and there was only time to complete the renovation plan step by step.

On the overgrown mountain road, with the sound of creaking, two wheels rolled over the grass.

Xu Weiqiu hummed a pop song while pushing the cart.As she walked, she turned her head and saw a road carved out by her cart, and she couldn't help but think of the words Lu Xun once said: "There are no roads in the world, but when more people walk, they will naturally become roads. "

She cut the bamboo from the mountain, and there are many bamboo forests at the foot of the mountain, but those are all owned.She walked a long way to find this place. There are several cemeteries near here. Many people come to visit the graves during the Qingming Festival, but it is very deserted on weekdays. The bamboo behind this cemetery grows very beautifully.

After walking for a while, the cart could no longer be pushed up, so she had to put the cart on the spot and climb up the mountain steeply over the graves.

She chose the bamboo, chopped it into sections, tied it with hemp rope and put it aside. Just as she was busy, she saw someone walking back and forth beside her cart at the foot of the mountain.

Xu Weiqiu was really taken aback by this strange figure. In this wilderness, he is not afraid of no one, but he is afraid of meeting a bad person.

She hid and observed secretly for a while, and when she saw that it was a woman who was about the same size as herself, she was secretly relieved.

The woman pushed her scooter around the spot like a child, put down the scooter and walked away alone.

Xu Weiqiu saw that this person did not pose a threat to him, so he didn't care anymore, and continued with the work at hand.

There is an altar at the foot of the mountain, and I don't know what kind of god is enshrined there. Due to years of sun and rain, the altar is very dilapidated, and the sides are covered with weeds.However, people would come to worship from time to time. When she went up the mountain, she saw some incense candle offerings in front of the altar.

When she was carrying two bundles of bamboo down the mountain to load the car, she saw the woman squatting in front of the altar and pulling them. The next second, she grabbed the food and stuffed it into her mouth.

I don’t know how long those sacrifices have been placed. Where can I eat them? Xu Weiqiu couldn’t care less, so he quickly stopped her: "Hey... hey... Big sister, big sister, everything is moldy, you can’t eat it... .”

The woman looked up at her. She didn't know whether she had listened to her words or the taste of the food in her mouth was really bad. She slowly took out the fruit that had been put in her mouth, and said two words to her: "I'm hungry." ...."

The woman looked in a bad condition, her clothes were thin and worn out, her hair was messed up, and her face was dirty, Xu Weiqiu could tell from her behavior at a glance... this person has mental problems.

Seeing her looking at him pitifully, Xu Weiqiu couldn't bear it, so he gave her more than half of the rice balls he brought.

Holding the rice ball, the woman grinned happily and ran away happily.

After Xu Weiqiu finished eating the remaining two rice balls, he drank his saliva and continued to work until the whole cart was filled with bamboo, and it was getting late.

The scooter was a bit heavy and the road was not easy to walk on. Her hands were too tired to push it a little, so she tied the hemp rope to the scooter and hung the other end on her body, changing from pushing to dragging.

It was dragged halfway, and the wheel on one side got stuck in a gap, and she couldn't move it with all her strength.

When she was thinking about unloading the cart, something behind her suddenly assisted her. Seeing this, she also tried to drag forward. After a while, the cart was pushed out.

Xu Weiqiu heaved a sigh of relief, and turned around, only to see the woman standing behind her just now, smiling silly at her.

"Thank you, Miss."

The woman still smiled and waved her hand.

"Goodbye!" She also waved her hand.

After returning back, Xu Weiqiu didn't take this matter to heart. However, when she went up to the mountain to chop bamboo the next day, she saw this elder sister wandering around again, and she once again shared more than half of the food she brought with her.

After returning to the earthen hut, she told Erniang about it. After hearing this, Erniang shook her head and sighed: "There is such a thing, alas, I guess I am a poor person..."

When Xu Weiqiu went up the mountain for the third time, Erniang was afraid that such a thing would happen again, so she prepared two meals for her. Sure enough, when she met the woman again at the same place on the mountain, the meal was naturally handed out. use.

In the evening, she pulled the cart back to the earthen house. Mrs. Zhang was already waiting at home. When she heard the sound of the wheels, she hurried out to help her drag the cart to the yard.

"Are you tired? Come on, drink some water."

"It's okay." Xu Weiqiu shook his head, took several sips of the water that Erniang handed over to him.

"You go in and have a rest, I'll do it." Er Niang pushed the cart to the wall and unloaded the bamboo bit by bit.

Xu Weiqiu said it was fine, but in fact she was so tired that she couldn't straighten her back. She went to rest in the room, but her buttocks were still warm, so she heard Er Niang's call: "Ah...Qiu'er, what are you doing?" Come out quickly."

"what happened?"

Xu Weiqiu got up his spirits and walked out of the house, and saw Erniang pointing to a place outside for her to see, she looked in the direction, but saw nothing, just wondering, she saw a man walking out from behind a half-withered plantain bush. Someone came and looked straight at this side.

It was the woman she met on the mountain. She probably tasted the sweetness and followed her all the way here, but she realized it later and didn't know that there was someone behind her.

"Is this the silly elder sister you mentioned earlier?" Erniang quickly realized.

Xu Weiqiu nodded.

Seeing this, Mrs. Zhang was very worried: "What should I do if this matter is messed up? Did you give her two meals and she will rely on you?"

For a while, Xu Weiqiu didn't know what to do, but she knew that the woman had some mental problems and she shouldn't be aggressive towards others.

"Let her go. Seeing that we ignore her, she will leave after a while."

Erniang nodded, Xu Weiqiu ignored the people outside, Erniang didn't even dare to look there again, the two of them worked together to unload all the bamboo from the cart and then entered the house, closing the door.
