When Zheng Yuming entered the greenhouse carrying a clean change of clothes, Chu Chao Hui had already stripped down to the bare bones and was standing in the barrel scrubbing.
"Put your change of clothes here." Zheng Yuming put the large size clothes he found next to Chu Chao Hui's wooden barrel, his eyesight glanced at Chu Chao Hui's tense skin, his heart was slightly envious, compared to Chu Chao Hui's strong and fit body, Zheng Yuming's own body was a bit like a white chicken.
"I'm almost done, do you want me to rub your back?" Chu Chao Hui stepped out of the barrel and wiped the water droplets with a towel while staring unblinkingly at Zheng Yuming, who had stripped off his clothes and climbed into the barrel.
Zheng Yuming's skin is very white and does not tan easily, which is the reason that after crossing over for twenty days, Chu Chaohui's skin exposed outside his clothes has already tanned to a honey-colored tan while Zheng Yuming's entire body complexion has not changed much.
"Uh... No need!" Zheng Yuming who stepped into the bucket looked back at Chu Chao Hui, originally wanting to thank Chu Chao Hui for his helpfulness, but when he saw Chu Chao Hui's glittering eyes, that thank you was somehow swallowed, and instead rejected Chu Chao Hui's kindness and squatted down with his legs, letting a large portion of his body submerge into the water.
"Then I'll go out first to pan the rice and wash the vegetables." Chu Chao Hui looked at his companion who only had his shoulders on the bucket of water, pursed his lips and put on his thermal underwear, wrapped the tweed coat that Zheng Yuming found for him onto his body and went out of the greenhouse.
Waiting for Chu Chaohui to leave the greenhouse, Zheng Yuming's tense body only relaxed, for some reason, Chu Chaohui just looked straight at him in the eyes to make his heart slightly creepy, intuition that the eyes and the primitive forest predator animals similar.
Zheng Yuming took a bath, put on his clothes and then went to wash the middle clothes that had just been soaked in boiling water, which had been soaked in boiling water for half an hour, and the parasites should have all been scalded to death.
Since being transported here by the blue light, Zheng Yuming and Chu Chaohui do things very tacit understanding, there has never been a phenomenon between the two people who do more and who do less, who should do what, who should not do what, should be dry work who see who do, so Zheng Yuming carry dry their own clothes, go to carry Chu Chaohui's.
Chu Chao Hui's down jacket is the last to carry, soaked in water down jacket dead heavy dead heavy, Zheng Yuming used a little force to carry the down jacket from the barrel, ready to use the hand strength to dry, strung to the hem, Zheng Yuming touched a hard block, his first instinct was, Chu Chao Hui's down jacket broken, there are stones fell into the down jacket lining. But when Zheng Yuming wanted to find the break, the stone out, but could not find the break.
"What's in this shirt of yours?" Zheng Yuming couldn't get the hard pieces, so he carried the wet down jacket to the workers' kitchen, where Chu Chaohui was cutting wild boar meat with a cigarette in his mouth. Now the sky is already dark under, and there is no moon at night, the kitchen is lit with a kerosene lamp.
"Hey, this ah, the original value of a few flowers and trees base, now it, leave the wood to play it." Chu Chao Hui took a rag to wipe his hands clean, took the cigarette off his mouth and popped the ash.
"Worth a few flower bases?" Zheng Yuming was skeptical, what exactly was this hard block in here that was so valuable?
"I was hunted down for this very thing." Chu Chao Hui told Zheng Yuming about the reason why he fled.
Chu Chao Hui's identity is very special, his mother is a Kokang people, his father is sent down to Yunnan Zhiqing, because of certain inexplicable factors in the sky, Chu Chao Hui's father entered the Kokang, where he got married, and after that never returned to the country, Chu Chao Hui grew up in junior high school, Chu Chao Hui's father sent his son to the old country to read high school, Chu Chao Hui did not graduate from high school, his father died in the firefight with the Burmese government. When Chu Chaohui heard the news, he immediately went back to Kokang and joined the United Wa State Army (UWSA).
As soon as Zheng Yuming heard about Chu Chao Hui's life, his head hurt a little bit. The Kokang people in Burma are actually Han Chinese, descended from the officials and soldiers who followed the Yongli Emperor to escape to Burma at the end of the Ming Dynasty in the first place, and the official language of the people there is Yunnan Chinese, the cell phone is a Chinese mobile number, and the landline is also a Yunnan Lincang area code, and the electric power is transmitted from the Southern Grid through the Yunnan Power Grid to the Laogai Substation. The UWSA was born out of the Communist People's Army of Burma (CPA), and most of its leaders are pro-China, and most of them have gone to China for training and study. The pro-Chinese nature of the UWSA is very obvious.
Because of the political reasons, Tian Dynasty can't support the United Wa Army blatantly, most of the guns and ammunitions of the United Wa Army can only be obtained through smuggling, in order to gather the military expenses of the United Wa Army, Chu Chaohui mixes with a big drug lord gang and waits for the opportunity to steal the diamonds that are worth 3 or 4 hundred million dollars, and doesn't wait for him to return the diamonds to be pursued and killed by the big drug lords, and the way back to Dangguo is cut off, so he has no choice but to escape back to the interior of the Tian Dynasty to take refuge in the world, which is the only place where he can get back. As a result, because of the leg injury, hijacked Zheng Yuming, fell into the situation of crossing the other world.
"This is a diamond worth 300 or 400 million dollars?" Zheng Yuming was a little excited holding the diamond taken out of the duvet, as such a large loose diamond had only been seen in pictures.
"Right now it's probably worth about as much as a glass ball of wood." Chu Chaohui laughed to himself, what he had gotten from birth and death was equal to a child's plaything from the previous century.
"No, this diamond is a loose diamond, right? Why is there no colored light, only a grayish color?" Naked diamonds are processed diamonds without setting, Zheng Yuming to the kerosene lamp in front of the left look right look, hand this gray stone does not look like a diamond.
"Let me see." Chu Chao Hui took the diamond and realized that the diamond didn't look like the one he originally stole, his hand pinched harder, and the diamond unexpectedly cracked, and the inside was still a dull and lightless stone.
"Was it a mutation while traveling?" Zheng Yuming believed everything Chu Chao Hui said because they had already traveled to the Otherworld and there was no need to make up any lies to him.
"Heh heh, I was going to exchange it for ten pieces of cloth, I don't want it to become worthless now." Chu Chao Hui threw the diamonds onto the ground with a moldy face, the cracked diamonds rolled and mixed into the small stones on the ground, never to be separated again.
Zheng Yuming and Chu Chaohui didn't know their luck, if the energy of this diamond hadn't blocked most of the space-time effects, the three of them who were transported over as creatures wouldn't have just rewind ten years back in time, but would have had to disintegrate into molecules that floated away in the space-time transport process.
That night, Zheng Yuming made a good dinner, fried greens, leeks, wild boar shredded pork fried garlic, braised pot of mushrooms hare meat. Zheng Yuming do dinner, Chu Chao Hui to the villa rummage box, find Zheng Yuming niece in the villa left a few pieces of clothing, but also to the workers room to find a boy about ten years old to wear a cotton jacket, cotton jacket is Zheng Yuming old cousin grandson thrown in this. With these small clothes, the brother and sister finally do not have to naked cat in the nest, and the dog hair on the wood has been covered by the boy dry, the boy remembered Zheng Yuming account of the task, in order to not let the wood out of the nest, the boy has been holding the wood in front of the chest.
When the two siblings first saw the villa, they thought they had arrived at the legendary royal palace, so high house, twice as high as all the houses they had seen, gray bricks and red tiles, beautiful and incomparable, the ground of the yard is still paved with stone (actually cement), flat and incomparable, there is also a black monster parked beside the yard wall, the monster's body reflected luster, and surprisingly, it can still print out their silhouettes, and there is an iron shelf built on the top of that close to the well, with dead vines crawling on it (actually grapevines), and there is an iron shelf built on the top of it. There was an iron shelf near the well, and on it was a dead vine (actually a grapevine).
Because the villa kitchen could only use gas, while the workers' kitchen had an earthen stove, in the spirit of the workers' kitchen earthen stove could use inexhaustible firewood, the two crossing the world were cooking in the workers' kitchen, and eating at the square dining table in the workers' kitchen. When the two siblings were led to the kitchen and saw the fragrant meals on the table, the two siblings' noses kept agitating, their stomachs rumbled, and their mouths swallowed straight.
Even though the two siblings were very, very eager to eat the food on the table, the elder brother still remembered Yu Kui's teaching that after being taken in by the strangers, they had to honor their duties as servants and serve their master to the best of their ability, so that the master would be pleased with them, so that they could grow up relying on their master's shelter and become loyal, hardworking, good servants.
"Come to the table and eat." Zheng Yuming had already served the rice on the table and turned back to call out to those two siblings to come to the table, and after calling out several times, the one who was the older brother pressed his sister with one hand and kept shaking his head on one side.
"My lord! My sister and I will stand here and serve your lordship his meal." How could a servant be at a table with his master, the boy tried to remember what he had seen of household servants serving their masters, trying to get himself into the swing of things as quickly as possible.
"Hey, these two children." Zheng Yuming shook his head and sighed, in modern thinking all people are equal, since he and Chu Chao Hui agreed to adopt two children, they wanted to treat these two children like their own nieces and nephews, it was not at all what Wu Da and Yu Kui thought of, to give these two children a mouthful of rice to eat, and then raise the children as servants, and use the youngest child as a maid to make the child, it was an embarrassment when thinking about it.
"Give them each a small bowl of rice, just a few green vegetables, no meat, and let them eat on the side." Chu Chao Hui did not try to convince the boys like Zheng Yuming did.
"No meat?" Zheng Yuming just questioned Chu Chaohui, immediately understood Chu Chaohui's intention, these two children can't let them eat too well now, these two bitter children's intestines are not adapted to oil and meat.
The evening ended with two crossers at the table, two children crouching in the corner, and Woody the puppy eating under the table.
Looked at the two rice bowls licked clean, full of unfulfilled, savoring the child, Zheng Yuming did not help them to add rice, he sheng to the two children's white rice is also only a half bowl, for fear of the two children to eat the stomach to support.
After dinner, Chu Chao Hui wash dishes, Zheng Yuming is arranged for the two children to sleep, he put the villa downstairs a storage room cleaned up a bit, from the workers' room to move over an iron bed, laying bedding, holding a bed woolen quilt to that bed, and repeatedly taught the two children how to use the potty, watched the two children to use it once, Zheng Yuming before letting the two children to go to sleep on the bed.
Villa more than two outsiders, which caused the wood's high sense of responsibility, when Zheng Yuming and Chu Chaohui to the bottom of the building cleaned up, carrying kerosene lamps up the stairs, the wood is not willing to follow the master, it arched the nest to the storage room to guard the two outsiders, but unfortunately a piece of the wood's loyalty did not get the master appreciated, Zheng Yuming thought that the wood likes children, to be in the same piece of the child, then allowed the wood to take the liberty to do as they wish.
