Gao Yue came with the key to the old house.
When the key was inserted into the keyhole and twisted, it made a click, and the rusty door lock was opened.
Opening the door, the old wooden door made a creaking sound.
As soon as the door opened, a black shadow quickly passed by and then disappeared around the corner.
Although it was fast, both of them saw clearly that it was a big rat!
"Fuck!" Gao Yue cursed unhappily. There were actually mice in his house in broad daylight!
But this is inevitable. Who made this house unoccupied for a long time?
No matter how good a house is, once no one lives in it, it will quickly decay and deteriorate. The main problems are bugs and rats. These bad things will destroy the house bit by bit.
Standing at the door of the yard, looking at this familiar yet unfamiliar house, Gao Mingcheng was filled with emotion for a moment.
I remember that when he was a child, he often came here to play. When they were in elementary school together, the three of them did their homework together. Sometimes Gao Mingcheng ran out of pencils, so he used Gao Hong and Gao Yue's.
Nowadays, the house is gradually showing signs of dilapidation, with signs of damage on the doors and windows. When you open the door of the room, you can see that it is empty, with only a wooden bed and a cabinet placed there.
The wooden bed was covered with an old quilt, but the quilt was too old. Not to mention there were holes in it, and the fabric immediately deteriorated as soon as you got your hands on it.
Anyway, this wooden bed needs to be moved, so don’t let this fabric go!
So Gao Yue pulled hard with both hands, rolled up the old sheets into a pile and threw them on the ground. But this process raised a lot of dust, and there was also mouse droppings falling down.
Gao Yue choked on the dust and sneezed several times in a row.
The bed was an old-fashioned bed, not wide, with higher edges. The edges were coated with tung oil and were relatively smooth.
Gao Mingcheng took a step forward and said, "Let me move it!"
He first removed the wooden boards inside the bed piece by piece, and then dismantled the bed frame.
The bed frame is made of mortise and tenon structure. Gao Mingcheng lowered his head to study for a while, then picked up a stone from the yard full of weeds, started to loosen the mortise and tenon in the opposite direction, and then slowly pulled out. It can be disassembled.
The bed frame breaks into two halves, making it easier to move out from the door.
The bed frame was a bit heavy, but Gao Mingcheng held one in one hand as easily as he held a pound of vegetables.
Gao Yue was stunned when he saw it, but he didn't stand still. Instead, he folded the previously dismantled bed boards and carried them out.
This weight is a little heavy for him, and the pressure on his shoulders is a little painful.
Because of his delicate body, he had not done physical work for a long time, but fortunately he was young and had practiced some boxing and kicking with Gao Guobing, so he could endure the pain in his shoulders.
The two of them left the house, and Gao Yue locked the door again.
His father had planned to renovate this house in the village, but he never had much money, and even if it was renovated, few people would come back to live there.
Nowadays, Gao Guobing will return to the village when something happens, or during the Qingming Festival, he will return to the village to visit the graves of his elders.
Gao Yue's house is located in the center of the old village. Every move of the two people was seen, so people greeted them one after another and asked about something.
Gao Mingcheng glanced at Gao Yue, and Gao Yue explained that he wanted to move the bed to Gao Mingcheng's house so that he could sleep at night.
Someone knew that Gao Yue had taken the college entrance examination this year, so he asked about his results.
Gao Yue was very proud when he was in front of Gao Mingcheng, but in front of the uncles and aunts in the village, he was much more humble. He only said that he had managed to get into college and would report to school at the end of August.
Naturally, he received a lot of compliments, such as a tiger father has no dog sons, and Gao Yue's achievements will definitely be better than his father's in the future.
And when someone saw Gao Yue carrying the bed board, he immediately took the initiative to ask for help, saying that he wanted to carry it for Gao Yue.
"Your shoulders are tender and don't need to be pressed. Let me carry them for you!"
The people in the village were enthusiastic, but Gao Yue did not agree. Instead, he said with a smile: "This weight is nothing, I can carry it! Hey, Gao Mingcheng, why are you leaving first! Uncle and aunt, I'll go first Got it!"
Gao Yue made an excuse and chased Gao Mingcheng.
After catching up, he blamed Gao Mingcheng for leaving first without saying a word. Gao Mingcheng smiled and said, "How can you get away if I don't leave?"
The two looked at each other and smiled, and the young man's hearty laughter spread far and wide.
After returning home, I didn't rush to assemble the bed. Instead, I piled it up in the yard first, then picked up a bucket of water from the well, scrubbed the bed frame and bed board, and then put them in the sun to dry.
The bed hadn't been used for a long time, and even though it was covered with sheets, there was a smell on it.
You know, when no one is around, this bed is like a rat's nest!
After washing and drying, you will no longer smell the strange smell when you go to bed at night.
"Mingcheng, Gao Yue, it's time to eat." Duo Mei walked out of the kitchen and greeted the two of them to eat with a smile.
When the two of them went to the old village to move their beds, Duomei had already cooked the food.
They are all home-cooked dishes, including a plate of fried dried fish with chili, a plate of stir-fried long beans, a plate of fried eggplant with chili, and a bowl of loofah and egg soup.
"Tomorrow is the gathering in Junling. I will buy you fresh meat then!" Gao Mingcheng glanced at the dishes on the table and said to Gao Yue.
Because Gao Yue came suddenly, the family was not prepared in advance.
Gao Yue doesn't care whether he eats meat or not. After all, he often eats meat when he is at home, so he is not as greedy for meat as most people.
He said: "Why buy it? You take me into the mountains to hunt! Haven't you ever hunted a black bear? Wouldn't it be easy to hunt a wild boar?"
He looked at Gao Mingcheng, his eyes shining with anticipation.
At this moment, he remembered something, walked to his bicycle, and took out something from the bag inside.
This thing was packed in a cloth bag, but looking at its appearance, Gao Mingcheng had a guess in his mind.
Sure enough, Gao Yue handed the bag to Gao Mingcheng and said, "My dad asked me to bring this to you."
"How about we go hunting in the mountains with this?" Gao Yue stared at Gao Mingcheng closely, his expression getting more and more excited.
He naturally knew what was inside and what kind of firearms used this kind of bullets.
Gao Mingcheng asked his father for this kind of bullet, which means that Gao Mingcheng must have the corresponding gun in his hand!
Not bad, he actually got such a good gun without saying a word!
Seeing the excited and expectant Gao Yue, Gao Mingcheng sighed helplessly and could only agree to his request: "Okay, I will take you into the mountains. It will take a long time, so be mentally prepared."
Even though he goes into the mountains for fun every time and can spin around several times a day, ordinary people cannot get into the mountains where there are prey without walking for a long time.
And if you want to go deeper into the mountains, you have to keep walking for a day or two!
Gao Yue was mentally prepared for this. When he returned to the village this time, he came to play with Gao Mingcheng. What did he want to play with? Of course it’s hunting in the mountains!
