Chapter 145 Don't be afraid, lady, just clean up

When he walked to the door of the house, he saw that the lock of the door had been cut off and one door was wide open. Li Xiaodao couldn't help but squeezed his husband's sleeve tightly.

"Come on, go in and have a look."

The husband's tone was not in a hurry, he just quietly took his hand, pushed the other door open, and then entered the yard.

Sure enough, the courtyard was in a mess, straw, firewood and charcoal from the firewood house were scattered all over the floor, and there were bowls and chopsticks thrown out of the kitchen on the ground, bones left over from gnawing, half-eaten steamed buns and other residues... Li Xiaodao fried The small pot of medicine was broken and thrown on the corner of the courtyard wall. It seemed that someone had lived in the corner of the courtyard wall. The ground was covered with grass, and a quilt from the second floor was also thrown on the ground.

The face and lining of the two quilts that Xianggong washed the day before he escaped were originally hung on the rope, but now they have been hacked badly and thrown on the ground. It has been half-sinked in the mud.

The haystack Li Xiaodao used to practice flying knives that Xianggong tied for her was also cut down from the wall, split into sections of straw rope, and thrown everywhere.

The door of the main room was smashed and half opened at an angle, Li Xiaodao no longer dared to think about what the inside of the room looked like.

This is where she and her husband settled down in the provincial capital, and it was a small warm home that they had run together for more than a month.

Now it looks like this.

Li Xiaodao felt extremely uncomfortable in her heart, she turned around and buried her head in the husband's arms.

Pei Zhiqi patted the lady on the back and comforted her, "It's okay, just clean it up."

"The haystack is gone..." Li Xiaodao put his head in his husband's arms, his voice sounded a little choked.

Pei Zhiqi replied softly: "I'll tie a new one for the lady."

"The pot for boiling medicine is gone..."

"Let's buy another one."

"The two sets of quilts that Xianggong washed are gone...the firewood and carbon have also been robbed..."

"We'll just buy it back."

Suddenly, Li Xiaodao seemed to have thought of something, suddenly came out of Xianggong's arms, turned around and ran towards the main room.

"My lady! Be careful where you step!" Pei Zhiqi hurriedly followed.

"My book! My book of five taels of silver!!" Li Xiaodao ran while shouting, stepping over the messy debris under her feet, removing half of the broken door of the main room, and sneaked into the main room without hesitation.

Ignoring the mess in the room, Li Xiaodao went straight to the study.

When I came to the study, sure enough, the books were also thrown all over the floor.The pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the Xianggong's table were all pushed to the ground.

Fortunately, there was no knife or axe, and the fire was poured with water. The books were just thrown around, but they were still usable.

Li Xiaodao hurriedly squatted on the ground to pick up all the books and put them on the table, but she never saw her Fanyu book.

Picking up Li Xiaodao, he found that there were two more hands picking up books in front of him. Li Xiaodao looked up, and the husband also came to help.

Pei Zhiqi smiled and said: "Unexpectedly, in this ruins, what my wife cares about the most is these books."

Li Xiaodao pouted and said, "What time is it, my husband can still laugh."

Pei Zhiqi handed a book to Li Xiaodao, still smiling at her.

Li Xiaodao took the book and said pleasantly, "How did you find Mr. Xiang so quickly!"

"Maybe it's because I've seen it on the bookshelf too many times, so I'm a little familiar with the cover," Pei Zhiqi replied softly.

Li Xiaodao breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly put this book on the table, and then slowly collected all the books scattered in other places back on the table with Mr. Xianggong, and then rearranged them on the bookshelf according to categories when he was free.

The two of them worked together, and it didn't take long for all the books to be stacked neatly on the desk.

Dust smeared Li Xiaodao's face into a small face, and when the husband saw it, he made him laugh again.

"My husband is still laughing, what are we going to eat tonight, I'm already hungry", Li Xiaodao smiled softly after finishing speaking.

For some reason, although the situation was already so bad, Li Xiaodao suddenly felt that it was not so bad when he saw Xianggong's extremely calm face.

"It's getting dark, I'm afraid we can only eat dry food tonight, let's go to the kitchen to see, as long as the cauldron is still good enough to boil hot water, at least we must be able to wash up tonight, and fill up the lady's soup," Pei Zhiqi thought Said: "Then make the bed out before dark, as long as you can sleep, let's talk about the rest tomorrow."

Li Xiaodao nodded: "Then follow what my husband said. I will go up to make the bed, and my husband will go to the kitchen to have a look."

Pei Zhiqi hesitated and said, "Madam, can I go to the second floor alone?"

"It's daytime now, it doesn't matter, I'm not afraid," Li Xiaodao replied.

"It's not that I'm afraid of ghosts, it's that I'm afraid of people. I'll go up with my wife and have a look first."

Pei Zhiqi and Li Xiaodao went up to the second floor together, carefully inspected the master bedroom and the guest bedroom, and found that there was no suspicious person or thing under the bed in the closet, then left the lady to make the bed and clothes on the second floor, and went to the kitchen by herself.

When it was getting dark, Pei Zhiqi had roughly tidied up the kitchen. The kitchen utensils, bowls and chopsticks were basically thrown away and bought again. Fortunately, the cauldron didn't seem to be touched, there wasn't much dust in the stove, and the Japanese pirates didn't seem to have cooked in a pot. meal.

When Pei Zhiqi was fetching water by the well, Li Xiaodao went downstairs to the well after finishing making the bed and wardrobe.

In ancient costume dramas, there is often a war in the well...Li Xiaodao hid behind his husband with a scared look, and whispered: "Sanggong, before you fetch water, do you want to see if there is anything in the well..."

"Is there anything?" Pei Zhiqi asked puzzled.

Li Xiaodao was too timid to say those two words, so he could only gesture with his hands, "It's that, that..."

After thinking for a while, Pei Zhiqi understood what the lady was afraid of, he smiled lightly, the lady was really afraid of these things.

In order to reassure the lady, Pei Zhiqi looked carefully at the well, the water in the well was crystal clear and there was no foreign matter.

"Don't worry, lady, the well is very clean. Even if Japanese pirates occupy the house, you still need to drink water, don't be afraid," Pei Zhiqi comforted the lady after checking.

Li Xiaodao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words: "That's good, that's good..."

The fleeing quilt must be removed and washed. One quilt was thrown in the yard by the Japanese pirates and could not be reused. There were only two quilts left in the house.

But it doesn't matter, now with my husband, one quilt is enough at night.

The next day, the two of them spent another day tidying up before they cleaned out the room. It took two carts to pull out the unusable garbage.

It's just that the provincial capital has just been restored, and there is no place to buy things like dishes, bowls and chopsticks, and small pots for decocting medicine. My brother's house is also in short supply, and the kitchen is almost ruined.

Fortunately, Boss Wan sent charcoal in a timely manner. After Xiaoxizi went back to report, on the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, Boss Wan asked Xiaoxizi to find a store with stock, and brought some necessary kitchen utensils to Li Xiaodao and Baihetang next door.

Li Xiaodao took the things and asked Xiao Xizi to calculate the price, then handed over the money to Xiao Xizi, and asked him to take it back to the shop that bought the goods.

Busy and busy, although there is no time to clean the door of the main room, and there is no way to change the lock of the main door, but before the Lantern Festival, the family finally has a way to live.
