Following Zheng Chunhua, Dong Qiangqiang also entered the backyard through Chai Fei.
Looking at the size of the villa, he thought that the backyard would only be 200 square meters. After standing on the green and yellow lawn and looking around, he realized that the size of the backyard was indeed quite large: the front yard was made of brick and stone. The fence has been replaced by a fence with varying density and uneven density. The fence covers an area of at least several hundred square meters. At the end of the fence are two tawny wooden doors that are larger than Chai Fei, one is open and the other is closed. Outside the wall is a green forest. The forest is dense and dense. You can see the glimmer of light in the forest, but you can't see clearly the reality inside. You can only hear the rustling sounds of the dense leaves when the wind blows, and the unknown sounds. The occasional solitary call of a bird.
There are several independent wooden houses closest to the villa. Next to the wooden houses is a warehouse with piles of firewood neatly stacked. The door of the warehouse is open, and you can see various farm tools hanging on the walls inside. Opposite the warehouse is an outdoor barbecue area, with a black barbecue grill placed on a circle made of smooth stones, while ponds, swimming pools, vegetable plots, and grape trellises are scattered in other locations in the yard.
Dong Qiangqiang was still observing when a black shadow suddenly ran past his feet. He couldn't help but take a step back. Just as he was about to take a closer look at what he saw, he heard Zheng Chunhua calling him from the front to follow.
There was no paved road in the yard, but Zheng Chunhua walked in one direction with familiarity. Dong Qiangqiang guessed that she had been here many times, so he quickly followed her in three steps at a time.
After bypassing two tall shrubs and green plants, she and he arrived near the back door of the villa.
He saw a blue-gray "L" shaped wooden bench with a backrest placed outside the back door, with a few cushions thrown haphazardly on it.
The left side of the wooden bench is filled with clay pots of various sizes, in which are planted various plants that Dong Qiangqiang cannot name. The ground on the right side of the bench is filled with a variety of brightly colored and mouth-watering fruits and vegetables, such as watermelon, strawberry, peach, grape, elderberry, pumpkin, carrot, tomato...
Behind the bench are the steps leading to the second-floor balcony of the villa. In front of the bench is a dark brown iron-shaped charcoal brazier. The charcoal brazier is not a common oven shape, but more like a coffee table, except that the coffee table panel is replaced by a concave irregular basin. The charcoal fire in the basin was burning brightly, and sparks were flying out.
Through the firelight, Dong Qiangqiang saw a silver-haired old man sitting on a wooden bench, lowering his head and packing something.
Before he could see clearly what the old man was playing with, he heard a rustling sound coming from the bushes behind him.
He turned his head when he heard the sound, and happened to see two spotlight-like eyes staring at him from the bushes. Then, a huge German black back quietly walked out from behind the bushes with its tail between its legs. Although it didn't bark at the two of them immediately, its ears were pricked with vigilance, and at the same time, a long series of malicious purring sounds came from its nose.
"Ms. Yulia, good evening, we are here..."
Just when Zheng Chunhua was greeting the old man, Hei Bei walked closer to the two of them and lowered his body. Dong Qiangqiang guessed that the dog might attack at any time.
With quick eyes and hands, he picked up a branch from the ground next to him as a precaution, and then he heard the old man shout in a rough German accent: "Sit down!"
This sound was like a restraining spell, and Hei Bei immediately sat down on the spot, stared at Dong Qiangqiang and Zheng Chunhua fiercely for a few seconds, and then turned to look at the old man helplessly, as if begging the owner to allow it to move freely.
"You guys sit down first," the silver-haired old man said without raising his head, "I have to work on it for a while."
Only then did Dong Qiangqiang notice that what the old man was playing with was neither a ball of wool nor needlework, but a live cat. To be more precise, the old man was carefully lifting a corner of the cat's back skin to disinfect it.
The area of the skin was quite large, and the wound looked bloody and bloody. This was the first time Dong Qiangqiang saw such a bloody scene at close range. He couldn't bear to look directly at it and immediately turned his head to the side, just as Zheng Chunhua also turned her head.
The two people's eyes met, but neither spoke.
Dong Qiangqiang knew that the stinging sensation of alcohol disinfection was very strong, but the cat did not utter a cry, as if it knew that the old man was saving its life. He couldn't help but be curious, and turned his head back, only to find that the old man was concentrating on spraying several different medical supplies on different areas of the cat's back, talking to the cat while doing it, and seemed to be comforting the cat.
After a while, the old man suddenly called out: "Come here for a moment."
When the old man shouted again, Dong Qiangqiang realized that the other person was calling him.
"Me? Oh, okay."
Seeing Dong Qiangqiang approaching, the always vigilant Black Back immediately went into defense mode and let out a burst of barking, a high-pitched and harsh voice, which seemed to warn Dong Qiangqiang not to approach its owner.
"Quiet!" the old man ordered, "go to the door."
After hearing the old man's order, Black Back immediately looked aggrieved, but in the end he hummed and walked away with his tail between his legs, looking back as he walked, as if he didn't understand what his master was doing tonight.
"I've already given it medicine." The old man had several large balls of blood-stained gauze on his hands, and the cat seemed to be dead and motionless in her hands. "Now I'll hold it down, and you can wrap the gauze around it." . Remember not to wrap it too tightly, as that will increase the pressure on its ribs and abdomen, and don’t wrap it too loosely, as that will not be conducive to the healing of the wound on its back. Do you understand?"
Dong Qiangqiang nodded and slowly wrapped the gauze around the cat as the old man asked.
The cat was extremely well-behaved in the old man's hands, its belly heaving and tumbling. Except for a tilted head and glance at Dong Qiangqiang when he first took advantage of it, the cat remained silent throughout the process, seeming to fully trust the old man and Dong Qiangqiang who were helping it. Its eyes were sparkling in the middle of the night, like the stars in the sky.
Thanks to the cat's cooperation, the bandaging process was extremely smooth. The old man checked it again to make sure there was nothing wrong, then put the cat into the flight box aside and took the box into the house.
When the old man walked out of the house again, he waved to the two of them and motioned for them to sit by the fire and talk.
The two sat down as instructed.
"Ms. Yulia, this is Dong Qiangqiang I mentioned to you this morning. He just went to college and is looking for a house. He wants to come and see your house."
When the old man looked at Dong Qiangqiang carefully, Dong Qiangqiang also happened to look at him.
The old man is a typical German woman, tall and tall, measuring 1.75 meters tall. Although she is old, Dong Qiangqiang has noticed that her hair is neatly combed, her clothes are clean and tidy, her eyes are sophisticated and sharp, and she has a sense of oppression that can see through your little calculations at a glance. He held his head high when he walked, with a majestic air and strong steps. He didn't have the senility or twilight feeling common among the elderly at all. Except for his gray hair, his energy and vitality looked the same as those of young people, and he was even younger than many he had seen. People are more energetic.
Yulia, on the other hand, seemed to be stunned for a moment after seeing Dong Qiangqiang's face clearly. It wasn't until Zheng Chunhua said something again that she remembered and asked, "What's your name?"
Although the old man asked in plain language, firstly, the other party was an elder, secondly, Dong Qiangqiang knew about her misfortune, and thirdly, he had just cooperated with her to save a cat, so he did not feel disgusted with her tone, but he understood her very well. .
"Hello, my name is Dong Qiangqiang. I am studying economics at the University of Trier." Dong Qiangqiang glanced at Zheng Chunhua and added, "I am 100% Chinese."
Although he has a good impression of the old lady and the external environment of the house, the failure he encountered in the afternoon made him not want to waste more time and words on unnecessary aspects. If the other party cannot accept Chinese tenants, it is better to end it as soon as possible, at least He could still go back to the city with Zheng Chunhua for a meal.
The old man didn't seem to care about this. He pointed at Zheng Chunhua and asked, "There are conditions for renting a house here. Did she tell you?"
Dong Qiangqiang shook his head deliberately: "Please tell me."
"The people who move in have to read the newspaper to me for half an hour every day, and in addition, they have to talk to me for at least half an hour every day."
Dong Qiangqiang nodded solemnly: "That's no problem. What are your other requests?"
"Well, you can move in at any time." The old man said with a kind face, "Welcome. I will take you to see your room."
Dong Qiangqiang originally thought that the other party would interrogate him thoroughly. He would first discuss various minor issues such as the rental period, rent deposit, public health, garbage classification, house usage precautions, etc., then check his ID, and then consider a few more questions. Only God can give him an answer. Unexpectedly, the other party ended it without asking anything. Is this normal?
He cast doubtful eyes on Zheng Chunhua, but saw the same expression on Zheng Chunhua's face. Needless to say, she was more surprised than he was.
What's going on?
