After death, I became the cannon fodder of the three protagonists

Chapter 45
The Gu family's old house is indeed a bit out of the way. It can be said that there are no neighbors within a radius of 200 meters.

In the beginning, the old house was just a thatched hut, but later the Gu family earned money, and Gu Dalang reached the age of seeing each other again.

Together, Gu Jingting and Ning Nanqing bought the nearby land and directly built a house with green bricks and black tiles.

Now the green brick courtyard walls are covered with vines, the tiles are covered with a layer of fallen leaves of unknown age, swallows' nests are built in the corners, and there are countless spider webs, desolate and dilapidated.

Su Mo asked Gu Ping'an and his two brothers to stand back with Gu Xingnian. After unlocking the copper lock of the courtyard door, he raised his hand to cover his mouth and nose with his sleeve, and then stretched out his hand to push.

"squeak"

The wooden door was pushed open, and a large cloud of dust flew all over the sky.

Su Mo took a step back and waited for the dust to settle before raising her legs and walking in. After crossing the threshold, she turned her head and looked at the three children.

"Be obedient and wait outside, mother will go in and have a look first."

The three children nodded obediently before Su Mo went in.

The layout of the old house is very similar to the courtyards in the capital, but combined with the local architectural features of Luoshan Village, it faces south, the gate is in the center, and you enter the courtyard.

From north to south, the three rooms in the east are the study, storeroom and kitchen.

The three houses on the west side are wing rooms.

There are also three rooms on the north side, the main room is the hall room, and the side room on the east side opens to the hall room, which is the room of the original parents-in-law. The two rooms form a suite.

The original husband and wife lived in the side room on the west side.

There is an open space behind the north house away from the courtyard wall, which can be bypassed from the east house.

The corner around the west side house is the hut.

The courtyard is luxuriant with wild grass, and the corners of the walls are covered with cobwebs, and the atmosphere of vicissitudes and corruption blows over us.

But compared to the collapsed yellow mud courtyard, this courtyard is easy to clean up, but it is much better.

Su Mo covered her mouth and nose, and pushed away the main room. The original tables and chairs were all brushed with tung oil. Over the past few years, they have not been bitten by insects. If the dust is wiped off, they will be as good as new.

When Yuanshen sold the old house, except for the things between himself and Gu Dalang who moved out, the rest remained in the old house.

Su Mo took a rough look, and already had a plan in mind, so he opened the doors and windows of each room for ventilation.

Immediately, he led the three children to the small yellow mud courtyard. The furniture was still there. Su Mo took a rough look and then looked away.

The most important thing now is to tidy up the old house, so as not to have a place to live tonight.

The courtyard door of Chen Cihai's house was open, and Su Mo walked over and knocked on the door.

Not long after, Chen Yuanhai came out from inside.

"Sister-in-law of the Gu family?"

"I'm here to borrow something..."

Su Mo smiled lightly, and explained his reason for coming. When Chen Yuanhai heard that it was just a rag, wooden barrel and fire bag, he immediately agreed.

"Sister-in-law, wait a moment, I'll get it for you."

Su Mo nodded, and thanked Chen Yuanhai with a smile after he brought the things.

Chen Yuanhai scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Sister-in-law of the Gu family, those miscellaneous notes..."

Su Mo understood: "I found the Miscellaneous Notes. Once the residence is fixed and everything settles down, I will discuss this matter with the village chief."

"Great!"

Chen Yuanhai suddenly became excited, and he had imagined a golden field in his mind.

When Jiaolong goes out to sea, there will be a lot of seafood rolled ashore on the beach. Many women in the village lead their children to pick up the sea.

Su Mo didn't hold back the three children, and let them go with the bamboo baskets. The seafood they picked up at that time happened to be cooking tonight.

The well in the village was a little far away from the old house, so Su Mo simply went into the mountains to find the nearest water source.

That magical hatchet was turned into a bracelet by her and never left her body. This will just turn into a hatchet, cut a pile of bamboo, and made it into a simple bamboo pipe to guide water down.

In the evening, the three children returned home with a full load, but Su Mo had just cleaned up the living room and kitchen. There was no way, there was too much dust.

Gu Xingnian patted her flat stomach, pursed her lips, and looked at Su Mo, aggrieved.

"Mom, I'm hungry..."

Luoshan Village was affected by the disaster, and the children didn't eat breakfast until [-]:[-]. Su Mo was busy at noon, and they didn't feel hungry, so they didn't mention lunch.

It's okay not to mention this, but when I mentioned it, Su Mo, who had been busy all day, suddenly felt empty in his body, and his stomach was screaming crazily.

Wrinkled into a ball, he rubbed Gu Xingnian's head.

"Mom, prepare dinner now."

After Su Mo said, let Gu Pingan and Gu Jinnian take good care of their sister, go to Chen Cihai's house, and borrow some condiments, bowls and chopsticks, and spatulas.

Immediately, he gave another [-] Wen, and asked Chen Yuanhai and Chen Cihai to help move all the furniture and so on.

The two brothers were reluctant to accept them at first, and it is natural for fellow villagers to help each other in difficulties.

Su Mo didn't want to owe too much favor, and her attitude was very firm. The two brothers couldn't resist, and ten cents was not too much, so they accepted it.

It's just that after moving the things, I sent the bed sheet over, saying that the night is cold and the dew is heavy, so I will use it first.

When the time comes, you don't need it, just wash it and go back.

Considering the three children, Su Mo readily accepted.

The weeds in the courtyard were removed, and the yellow mud on the bamboo bed was washed and left to dry in the courtyard.

The jar with rice noodles is placed in the corner of the kitchen, and the iron pot is cleaned and placed on the stove.

Cook rice in one pot, then clean the shells and conch picked up by the three brothers and sisters, pick out the meat, and cook them in one pot.

After eating the Sihai bowl of rice, Su Mo only felt full of strength.

The bamboo bed hanging in the courtyard has dried up, dragged it into the living room, put the thin quilt on it, and made it like this for one night tonight.

As the sun sets, a new day begins.

Every one or two years, Luoshan Village will go out to sea. It was still a mess yesterday, but today it has returned to its former appearance.

Su Mo woke up early, and after breakfast, went to the village to take a bullock cart.

A lot of people went to the county today, and the ox carts were almost full. The man who drove the ox cart belonged to the Wang family, his name was Wang Changxing. Before Su Mo hunted wild boars, he was named by the village chief and followed him up the mountain to drag the wild boars down.

Considering that many people damaged things yesterday, the ox cart will continue to travel between the county town and the village today, so Su Mo just got on it, and the ox cart set off.

When he arrived at the county seat, Su Mo decisively went to Fang Yue's place.

The shop door was open, and Fang Yue was entertaining guests. When she saw Su Mo coming, she said a few words to the guests, and then walked over.

"Why didn't you bring the three children?"

When she came back yesterday, she learned from her neighbor, Aunt Huang, that someone had come to look for her, and she even met Mrs. Liu.

Listening to Aunt Huang's description, Fang Yue quickly guessed that the person was Su Mo.

"There are a lot of people coming to the county today, and I need to buy a lot of things, so it's inconvenient to take them with me."

Su Mo said lightly.

Fang Yue suddenly thought of what he saw yesterday, with a hint of sadness on his brows.

It's not that she's sentimental, it's just that when she recalls the past, those local hooligans beat and smashed in the village because of stuttering.

Natural disasters and man-made disasters have turned ruins everywhere, and her husband took her south because of this, but he never wanted to starve to death on the way...
