Chapter 9: Trim

　　 "August autumn, the high wind screams and winds up the triple thatch on my house... The cloth quilt has been cold like iron for many years, and Jiao'er is lying on the ground and cracking. The bedside room leaks and the rainy feet are like numb...."
　　 Li Yi got up early in the morning and heard Nie Bufan chanting poems loudly outside the house. He was a little frightened last night. He didn't sleep well all night. This guy is in good spirits.
　　 "Since the chaos and sleeplessness, why is it so wet at night? There are thousands of Ande Guangsha, the world is full of joy, and the wind and rain are as stable as a mountain!"
Ok? Unexpectedly, this person has some literary talent, this poem is quite meaningful.
　　 "Woohoo!" Nie Bufan stood at the door of his house, and said with emotion, "When you see this house suddenly in front of you, it will be enough for my house to break and freeze to death!"
　　 Li Yi followed his gaze and saw that the roof of the house where Nie Bufan lived had been lifted in half. No wonder he ran over to sleep with him last night.
　　 "Well, Du Fu's "The Thatched House Broken by the Autumn Wind" is too realistic, and you can't accept it." Nie Bufan touched his nose and exclaimed, "Chicken servant, chicken servant."
　　 "Here, what's the matter?" Landslide ran over.
　　 "Go to the city to find a few craftsmen. The houses in our village have to be repaired. By the way, add a few fireplaces. It's best to get them ready before winter comes."
　　 I don’t know what the fireplace is, but I’m very happy to be able to repair the house. I immediately cleaned it up and went.
　　 Nie Bufan walked into the room, took out his piggy bank, and counted the copper plates one by one.
　　 Li Yi also followed in. Seeing that his two jars of coins were no more than ten taels at most, he couldn't help but say, "You just have the wealth?"
　　 Nie Bufan didn’t even look at him, and said indifferently: "We are poor, do the poor know?"
　　 "Is there enough money to repair the house later?"
　　 "Wealthy people like you don't understand how cheap the labor costs of poor people are."
　　 Li Yi twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "I still have some money." He touched a few times in his arms and found out some silver tickets.
　　Nie Bufan is not polite, stretched out his hand to take it, took a look, smiled: "One denomination of one hundred taels, not bad."
　　 Li Yi was about to give him a contemptuous look, and then listened to him: "It's just that, this blood-stained one, who dares to exchange silver taels for me?"
　　The banknotes were spread in front of Li Yi's eyes. All three banknotes were baptized with blood, which looked very dazzling.
　　Nie Bufan said in a huff: "Take this thing out, and others might think that I am killing someone and overwhelming. You should keep it alone."
　　 Li Yi didn't move, his face was heavy.
　　 "Really, if you know that you have a silver ticket, you should vomit less blood."
　　 Who is to blame? Li Yi yelled in his heart.
　　 "By the way," Nie Bufan said again, "Where did you hide the cash receipt? I checked it when I bandaged you."
　　 "……"
　　 "Is it in the underpants?" Nie Bufan muttered to himself as he counted the money, "No, if he is in the underpants, he won't be bloody. Li Si is not a woman..."
　　 Li Yi's face collapsed with a cold face. He did not hold back the congestion of his brain, and flicked his sleeves and left. If he stayed any longer, he couldn't guarantee that he would not violently kill.
　　In the afternoon, the landslide brought a dozen craftsmen back to the village.
　　 These people are clever hands and feet, and started to work after some inspection.
　　 Bufan Nie not only wants to repair the house, but also plans to install a simple fireplace in each room, and by the way convert the utility room behind his house into a bathhouse.
　　 This can be regarded as a big project, and it will take two or three months to say nothing. The labor costs plus the material costs are likely to spend his savings. But Nie Bufan is a model of looking forward and not looking forward. Spend if you have money, if you don't have money... Let's talk if you have no money.
　　 Taking advantage of the renovation of the village, Nie Bufan took a group of restless chickens from time to time to the next mountain for outings, and by the way also brought Li Yi.
　　 Li Yi looked at the mighty flock of chickens around him, completely unable to understand Nie Bufan's mode of thinking, nor could he understand the mode of action of this flock of chickens.
　　 "It's so beautiful!" Nie Bufan stood on the top of the mountain and looked into the distance.
　　 A chicken spread its wings and flew by, drew a beautiful arc in the air, and leaped down with an extremely tragic gesture.
　　 Li Yi stretched out a finger, he stopped talking, and finally remained silent.
　　 Nie Bufan found a relatively flat place, spread a cloth blanket, and put fruits and noodles on it.
　　 "Brother Li, your injury should be almost healed, right? How about going back with some game?"
　　 Li Yi said: "So many chickens, can't you just grab them and roast them?"
　　Nie Bufan didn't say anything yet, the chickens around who were wandering leisurely all of a sudden looked at Li Yi together, their eyes were full of murderousness, and several chicken feathers were erected.
　　 "Okay, change your taste today." Li Yi turned the conversation wisely.
　　 The chicken group immediately went on their own as if nothing had happened, and never looked at him again.
　　Nie Bufan is not surprised, and calmly watched Li Yi disappear into the forest.
　　 This mountain stands next to the mountain stream, but it is much larger than the mountain stream. Many cups of chicken in Jiwo Village come from here.
　　 Nie Bufan raised the bonfire and set up the grill, and he saw Li Yi walking back with two rabbits.
　　 Although it is late autumn and leaves are falling, there is not much depression in the mountains. It is an ultimate enjoyment to watch the scenery and taste the game in the surrounding mountains.
　　 Li Yi has never been so casual. There is no need to maintain his manners, there is no hypocritical entertainment, everything is free, but it is a pity that there is no alcohol.
　　The rabbit meat was grilled on the outside and tender on the inside, exuding bursts of fragrance. Nie Bufan and Li Yi both moved their index fingers. In Jiwo Village, you can only eat chicken. This time it is different.
　　 Kill a rabbit in a few times, and both of them are still unfinished.
　　 "Bring some wild vegetables and mushrooms back later." Nie Bufan wiped his hands and slowly said, "We will come back tomorrow."
　　 "Good." Li Yi nodded in agreement.
　　 At this moment, a few rapid sounds came from a distance. Nie Bufan and Li Yi looked at each other, and ran to the place where they made the sound.
　　Pulling aside the dense branches, a huge black shadow came into my eyes.
　　 "It's a black bear." Nie Bufan whispered.
　　 Li Yi's face was solemn, watching the black bear wandering somewhere.
　　 "Strange, black bears usually don't show up during the day. Who caused it?" Nie Bufan looked around for a week, and all the chickens around him moved aside, acting innocently.
　　 "It's okay, the black bear already has food, and it should leave soon." Li Yi pointed to a chicken near the black bear with its feet still moving.
　　 Nie Bufan squinted his eyes and laughed suddenly.
　　 "What are you laughing at?" Li Yi asked strangely.
"The chicken is not dead, it is just pretending to be dead." Nie Bufan is very familiar with the chicken. Its light yellow feathers are covered with brown spots. Its predecessor is a kind of pig-nosed snake. He loves to pretend to be dead. Toxic, but mildly toxic, it can poison some small animals such as frogs.
"Pretend to be dead?" Li Yi looked suspicious, and then he immediately saw a weird scene. The black bear turned the chicken with its belly upside down. Who knows that the chicken turned around again, with its belly upside down again, to show that he was sure. died.
　　 Li Yi stagnates.
　　 The black bear fiddled with the guy on the ground, which seemed to be very funny. Nie Bufan estimated that this big guy should be full, otherwise he wouldn't be so boring.
　　 "What should I do now?" Li Yi asked, "It's hard to stop the black bear when it's mad. Before it gets its attention, let's withdraw first?"
　　 "That won't work, Pig is still pretending to be dead."
　　 Pig...
　　 "Are you going to save that chicken?"
　　 Nie Bufan nodded.
　　 "Then... I'm going to lure the black bear away?" Although Li Yi doesn't think a chicken can be saved, he doesn't want to continue to spend it here.
　　 "No need." Nie Bufan looked around, suddenly his eyes lit up, and said to a slippery yellow chicken not far away: "Xiao Huang, go, give play to the brotherhood, and save the pig."
　　 Xiao Huang didn't want to be clear, and under the cover of leaves, he walked closer to the black bear step by step.
　　 Li Yi said incredulously: "Aren't you going to trade a chicken for one?"
　　 Nie Bufan waved his hand: "Just watch it."
But for how long, I don’t know what Xiao Huang did. I saw the black bear suddenly covered his nose and jumped up like a goat. The big bear paw slapped the tree trunk fiercely, then slammed into the woods and disappeared quickly. Without a trace.
　　 "What's the matter?" Li Yi asked with questions.
　　 "Buddha said: Don't talk." Nie Bufan said with a smile.
　　 was pretending to be a dead pig, twisting a few times, and came back to life.
　　 Xiao Huang also swayed back like an uncle.
　　 Nie Bufan nodded secretly, yes, the weasel's skills are still there.
The episode of 　　 ended, Nie Bufan and others set off on their way home. The chicken flocks were huge, and there was no idea how much food was left behind after digestion.
　　 Soon after, a new group of chicken brothers and brothers were welcomed in Jiwo Village. Following these smells, many wild animals were deceived and turned into chickens.
　　 The so-called people die for money and birds die for food, this is even reasonable.
　　 Two months later, Jiwo Village has been completely renewed. Not only did the house renovate, but also a simple fireplace was installed, and the utility room was transformed into a bathhouse. You can enjoy a bath at any time. The chicken shed was also covered with a thick layer of straw.
In addition, Nie Bufan also asked people to install a fence at the front and back of the village to clearly delineate the scope of the village. A plaque of "Jikou Village" was added at the entrance, and "Fei" was engraved on the sides of the pillars. Chickens are not allowed to enter, if you want to enter, you will be responsible for the consequences" warning.
　　 After the repair of the village, Zhang Junshi gave a generous gift, including four sets of washware, cups, tableware, and tea sets, four sets of bed, four sets of winter clothes, and two pairs of wool boots.
　　 Li Yi looked convulsively, this is asking for a kiss.
　　Nie Bufan liked it very much. He exchanged courtesy and gave gifts back. It was still a basket of eggs, which was very big.
　　 Zhang Junshi really wanted to say: "You really are really welcome..."
　　 After enjoying the warmth of the fireplace, Zhang Junshi decided to live in Jiwo Village temporarily. His family is not in Xishan City. Instead of spending the winter with the guys, it is better to spend the winter with Nie Bufan, and occasional abuse is also fun.
　　 This winter, it should not be too cold...
