Chapter 243 The Hut by the Lake

"arrive!"

Ding Sanyuan jumped up and landed first.

Behind him, Li Mishi also flew up.

Chen Sanjin still has three wooden stakes left to cross and is working hard.

It's not that he can't hit every wooden stake, but he can hit some and some can't.

This made him very embarrassed. He fell into the water and got up again, making his whole body wet.

He had tried his best, but unfortunately he still couldn't catch up with Ding Sanyuan and Li Mishi.

But that doesn't matter. He overcame his inner fear and timidity. This is the most important thing.

"Brother Sanjin, we have arrived at the shore, please hurry up!"

Li Mishi urged from the shore.

"Okay! Look at me stepping over two wooden stakes!"

Chen Sanjin said with great enthusiasm.

Immediately, he jumped with all his strength and flew towards the first wooden stake in front of him.

"Hoo~"

This time he didn't drop the chain and stepped firmly on the first wooden stake. He couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, he continued his efforts, flew up, and stepped towards the wooden pile closest to the shore.

Unfortunately, this time he failed.

"Plop!"

He fell into the water again.

"Made, it's so unlucky that you have the last one and you want me to make such a big fool of myself!"

Chen Sanjin cursed angrily in the water.

Then, using his hands and feet, he quickly swam to the shore.

Ding Sanyuan stretched out his hand on the shore and pulled him up.

After Chen Sanjin came ashore, he wrung out the water on his clothes and complained to Ding Sanyuan: "You scolded me too harshly, right? What do you mean I am dragging you down? Did you all forget when I rescued you?

?”

Ding Sanyuan smiled and punched him, apologizing: "Okay, brother, I apologize! My words were a bit harsh, but if I didn't scold you like that, would you have woken up? If you hadn't woken up, how could we have done it so quickly?

Over here?"

Chen Sanjin said: "Hmph! Next time you scold me like that, I'll beat you up!"

"Okay, can you scold me next time?" Ding Sanyuan said with a smile, "Let's go to that house where people are cooking smoke!"

After saying that, the three of them walked towards a house with smoke coming from the lake.



"Is there anyone?"

Ding Sanyuan asked outside the hospital.

This is a small farmhouse.

The yard is very clean, surrounded by trees, flowers and willows.

There are a few chickens foraging leisurely in the yard.

There is also a pigsty in the corner of the yard, where two big fat pigs are raised.

The entrance to the courtyard is separated by a fence, and a small wooden door is casually half-opened and half-closed.

A bluestone path leads directly to the door of a thatched cottage in the yard.

Everything here seems so quiet and leisurely, like a retreat for a hermit.

Such a place can only exist in the paradise described by Tao Yuanming!

"Who?"

A trembling figure appeared at the door of the hut.

At first glance, this figure cannot even be distinguished from male to female.

However, this figure has a stooped body, gray hair, and a shaky walk. From this, it should be concluded that this is a very old person.

"Old man, I am a passerby. Because I am hungry, I want to come and ask for a bowl of rice. I hope the old man will open the door for convenience!"

Ding Sanyuan said respectfully.

"Begging?" The old man glanced at them and asked suspiciously, "Are you begging for food?"

"Oh, no, no, we were passing by."

"Passing by? This place is so remote, how did you find it?"

"To be honest, it's the smoke that leads the way."

"Oh, I understand, you came here looking at the smoke from my old lady's house."

"Yes, I hope the old man can reward you with a bowl of rice. Of course, we won't eat for free and are willing to reward you with gold."

"Hey, this is a revelation! It's a great fate that you can come to this remote and remote place. It's just a simple meal, why bother talking about money. You three, please come in!"

As she said that, the old woman made a gesture to invite her in.

Ding Sanyuan pushed open the courtyard door, took Li Mishi and Chen Sanjin on the bluestone path, and came to the old woman.

The old woman was stooped and very short. When she looked at Ding Sanyuan and the others, she had to raise her head with great effort.

"Old man, are you the only one at home?"

Ding Sanyuan asked.

The old woman did not answer him, but walked straight to the hut, opened the door, made an invitation gesture again, and said: "You three, the food is ready, please come in and eat!"

Ding Sanyuan nodded and took Li Mishi and Chen Sanjin into the hut.

There was a table in the middle of the hut. On the table were several plates of dishes and three bowls of steaming rice.

"Please eat! You're welcome!"

The old woman led them to the table and said respectfully.

When Chen Sanjin saw the food on the table, he couldn't help it. He grabbed a bowl of rice and started to eat it.

Ding Sanyuan quickly stopped him, took his job away, and said with a smile: "Sanjin, don't be rude!"

Chen Sanjin was unhappy: "Brother Yuan, I'm starving to death, why don't you let me eat?"

"Three jins, let's start eating before the master even moves his chopsticks. This is a bit too rude. Please be patient for a while!"

At this time, the old woman said: "Hey, don't be formal, feel free to eat and drink. Old woman, I have already eaten. By the way, you eat first, and I will make you some soup!"

With that said, the old woman left the hut and went to the kitchen to make soup.

Ding Sanyuan, Li Mishi, and Chen Sanjin sat down and looked at the food on the table.

Chen Sanjin swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said: "Hey, don't just watch. The old lady has already said that you don't have to be polite and you can eat. What are you waiting for?"

Chen Sanjin said: "Don't you think it's strange?"

"What's weird?"

"Look at the food on the table!"

"What's wrong with the rice? This is very good rice. It looks tempting and smells delicious. It's so delicious to eat rice like this!"

Ding Sanyuan rolled his eyes at Chen Sanjin and said, "You just know how to eat it! Don't you think there's anything wrong with these rice?"

"There's nothing wrong! I think it's normal! If you don't eat, then I'll eat first! If you're not hungry, I'll starve to death!"

With that said, he picked up a bowl of rice again and prepared to devour it.

Dante Sanyuan took away his job again and refused to let him eat.

At this time, Chen Sanjin was completely furious.

"Hey, Brother Yuan, what do you mean, why don't you let me eat?"

"It's not that I won't let you eat it, I just think there's something wrong with the food!"

"What's the problem? Stop being so suspicious and trying to scare people! I'm really hungry. Please stop playing tricks on me, okay?"

"I'm not kidding you! Take a closer look, how many bowls of rice are there on the table?"

"Three bowls! Isn't this just right? No more, no less!"

"Let me ask you, others have prepared three bowls of rice for us before we even arrived. Don't you think it's suspicious?"
