Chapter 529: Heading to Huai Village
Xiao Xiong has always been vigorous and resolute, and after about ten minutes, Xiao Xiong came out of the bathroom. Due to the experience just now, Xiao Xiong chose to change his clothes in the bathroom, and now he is wearing a dark casual suit, calm and at the same time, he has the spirit of this age.
And Li Xiaohong had already changed her clothes at this time and was waiting outside. With Xiao Xiong's reminder, Li Xiaohong changed her original business maturity and wore a loose crewneck T-shirt, durable jeans and a pair of brand-name sneakers underneath. Even so, it can still show her delicate figure.
"Xiao Xiong, do you see me dressed like this?" Before leaving, Li Xiaohong asked Xiao Xiong's opinion again.
Xiao Xiong actually didn't know what had become of the place where his grandfather lived after so long. With the scene in his memory, Xiao Xiong said: "It should be about the same, and it is not as bad as imagined." ”
Seeing that Li Xiaohong was a little cramped, Xiao Xiong asked again, "Have you been to Huai Village before?"
Huai Village is the place where Xiao Guohuai lives in seclusion. There is also a locust character in the name, and grandpa's choice of this place to live in seclusion has obviously been investigated a long time ago. However, for Xiao Xiong, it is very incomprehensible why grandpa chose a place where birds do not poop to settle down.
With his grandfather's ability, he could buy the best suite in the most prosperous part of Haicheng. And if grandpa is here, the Xiao family can always have a big business, and there is no need to keep the business, let alone fall to the point where it is today. But this is all if, since Xiao Guohuai chooses to live in seclusion, then there must be his reason.
One of the purposes of Xiao Xiong's return this time was to see if he could find the meaning of his grandfather's seclusion.
Li Xiaohong shook her head and replied, "No." ”
"No, then what are you doing in Huai Village?" Xiao Xiong asked.
"The Health Bureau has a project to support remote areas...... Li Xiaohong said quietly, which is indeed one of the purposes of her visit to Huaicun.
Looking at Li Xiaohong's eyes, a faint smile appeared at the corner of Xiao Xiong's mouth: "Sister Li, I think it's not just that. Huaicun has a population of more than 100 people, and the wind and rain have always been smooth, and it doesn't necessarily need outside support. ”
Stared at by Xiao Xiong's gaze, Li Xiaohong looked very uncomfortable. She deliberately staggered her gaze, but she still felt that Xiao Xiong's eyes were like a man's back, which made her feel uncomfortable. There was no way, she had to explain truthfully.
"Actually, it has something to do with your grandfather. (.la Marshmallow)"
"My grandfather, Xiao Guohuai?" Xiao Xiong asked in surprise. This old man has been living in seclusion for decades, and even the Xiao family doesn't know whether he is dead or alive, but he can go there in person?
"Well," Li Xiaohong nodded: "Yes, your grandfather." I don't think you've seen your grandfather for a long time, and this time I'll take you to meet him. ”
Xiao Xiong said lightly: "Sister Li, let's not turn a corner between the two of us." ”
Sighing softly, Li Xiaohong said, "Okay, I'll tell you the truth." As you know, I'm the Director of the Health Bureau. Recently in Haicheng, the medical industry has changed a lot. I don't know who it was for, but my superiors asked me to go find Xiao Guohuai. ”
"The medical industry, what does it have to do with my grandfather?" Xiao Xiong wondered even more. I have lived for more than 20 years, and I have never heard of my grandfather knowing medicine.
"I don't know what it has to do with it," Li Xiaohong didn't hide it, and said honestly: "My superiors revealed some information to me, and then I checked it down and found that your grandfather seems to be related to a traditional medicine organization with a long history." And this organization seems to be related to the Breeding Hall......"
When it comes to the breeding hall, Xiao Xiong seems to know something. The traditional medical organization in Li Xiaohong's mouth must be the subtle grass hall.
But who exactly wants to check the subtle grass hall?
"How did you deduce that?" Xiao Xiong asked.
Li Xiaohong's words didn't seem to have much confidence: "I guess, because the person who asked the superior to do this is the person from the breeding hall, it seems that his name is Zhao Bintian......"
Zhao Bintian, this stupid hat. Xiao Xiong immediately understood. This guy wouldn't want to check if Xiao Guohuai also had the shadow of an immortal doctor just because Xiao Xiong was a descendant of an immortal doctor? If he thought like this, I was afraid he would be disappointed. After all, Xiao Xiong crossed over, and this has nothing to do with his parents and ancestors.
The Xiao family was originally an ordinary business family, and there was no half-dime connection with the subtle grass hall. The reason why Xiao Xiong originally said that the Xiao family was the descendant of the immortal doctor was mainly to fabricate his identity, and at the same time to scare and scare Zhao Bintian.
"Then let's go now?" Li Xiaohong looked very urgent, and it seemed that the urging was very tight.
Xiao Xiong didn't want to leave immediately, it was too tiring, and it was too abrupt. Originally, he wanted to say hello to the old man and then go over. And it's not a phone that's used, it's a traditional envelope — Xiao Guohuai adheres to a traditional way of life and doesn't want to use modern electronics.
"Can't you go again tomorrow?" Xiao Xiong said with a little embarrassment.
Li Xiaohong was reluctant in every way: "Brother, this is the instruction from above, and I don't want to be tired." ”
Xiao Xiong is a promise. At the same time, he also had a faint worry in his heart. The descendants of the subtle cottage don't seem to be very welcoming to themselves. Now it has come to the situation where the three factions want to jointly challenge themselves. If they were indeed looking for their grandfather, Xiao Xiong was afraid that they would be unfavorable to Xiao Guohuai.
Let's go back and have a look.
The road to go will not be very smooth, Xiao Xiong's Lexus and Li Xiaohong's Volkswagen Golf will naturally not be able to run. Fortunately, the mayor of the East turned out to be an off-road enthusiast, and a Wrangler was parked at home. Xiao Xiong thought that it would not be too long, so he left the key to his Lexus as a bargaining chip in exchange for the Wrangler.
got into the car, but the two looked at each other.
"Brother, let's go. ”
"I don't know how to go. Xiao Xiong was a little embarrassed.
The mayor of the East is very rustic, and this Wrangler is a simplified version of an old car, and there is no navigation screen on it at all. Li Xiaohong removed the navigation tablet from her golf, and this is a problem.
The two ran from the city to the highway, ran all the way for another three hours, and got off the highway and walked on the dirt road for an hour, which was considered to be near the destination.
"My bones are falling apart. Li Xiaohong couldn't stand it anymore. Not to mention the long-distance run, the bumps on the dirt road caused both of them to suffer a lot from sitting on the cheap off-road vehicle. Xiao Xiong's body is tough and good. Li Xiaohong is miserable. If she hadn't had that neck pillow, she would have been in agony.
After finding a relatively wide place to park the car, Xiao Xiong said, "Get off the car and do the activity." ”
The two jumped out of the car, looking at the mountains stretching in front of them, Li Xiaohong asked, "Have you arrived?"
"Not yet," Xiao Xiong shook his head with the impression in his mind: "There are still a few kilometers of mountain roads to go." ”
"What?" Li Xiaohong was stunned.
She finally understood why Xiao Xiong wanted her to wear sneakers and sportswear, which was what she meant. But she is already in her thirties, and she usually picks up and sends cars, and she has no time to exercise at all.
Xiao Xiong rolled his eyes: "So before leaving, I asked you what you were doing in this kind of place, since you insisted on coming, I had no choice." Let's go. ”
"Hey, didn't you say take a rest first?" Li Xiaohong looked aggrieved. I knew that Huai Village was in such a remote place, so I just sent a trustworthy subordinate to it.
Xiao Xiong spread his hands: "It's not good to walk after dark, we have to hurry up." ”
There was no way, Li Xiaohong could only follow Xiao Xiong, one foot deep and one foot shallow, walking in one direction. But as far as the eye can see, there are only continuous mountains, and there is no shadow of Huai Village. Li Xiaohong only felt that the more she walked, the more she had no strength, and the mountain road was surprisingly difficult to walk. A few kilometers that Xiao Xiong said, she felt as far away as dozens of kilometers.
is also a pity for her, a city person, where has she suffered like this since she was a child. The only mountains Li Xiaohong has climbed are all by cable car.
In this way, the two walked for about half an hour, and Li Xiaohong stopped panting: "How far is it?"
"Over the mountain. Xiao Xiong replied truthfully.
Looking at the mountain in front of her, Li Xiaohong felt that the mountain was like pressing on her chest, pressing her out of breath. Looking back, Li Xiaohong found that Xiao Xiong was looking at his undulating heights and towers with interest, and at the same time laughing slightly.
Subconsciously tugging at the collar, Li Xiaohong asked angrily, "What are you laughing at?" ”
"Sister Li usually lacks exercise. Seeing that your cheeks are red, but your lips are white, it is a Taoist temple where qi and blood flow unevenly. Xiao Xiong said professionally.
Sister Li couldn't refute it for a while. She sits in the office almost every day, and she has a car when she gets off work in the morning and evening, where there is an opportunity to exercise.
"Good brother, I really can't walk. Li Xiaohong felt that her legs were as heavy as lead. This is because of the lack of exercise for a long time, and the lactic acid of the human body is discharged after strenuous exercise, resulting in a feeling of soreness and fatigue. This is not the case with people who exercise regularly. For example, Xiao Xiong.
Xiao Xiong smiled: "Sister Li, there are wolves here at night." ”
"Lie to people, where are there wolves in this era. Li Xiaohong looked disbelieving.
However, as if to verify Xiao Xiong's words, all of a sudden, there was a wolf howl, which was particularly eerie in this uninhabited place. was so frightened that Li Xiaohong jumped up and hid behind Xiao Xiong.
"Don't be afraid, with me, the wolf can't hurt you. Xiao Xiong felt amused, but had no choice but to comfort.
Li Xiaohong was about to cry. She felt that the thing she regretted the most was to come to Huai Village. If given a choice, she would rather turn around and leave. But even if they turn around now, it will take more than an hour to go back, and the two of them are in a place where there is no village in front of the village and no store in the back.
Seeing Li Xiaohong like this, Xiao Xiong couldn't cry or laugh. However, what he said just now was not a joke, the two had to continue to move forward in order to reach Huai Village before late at night, otherwise it would be dark and night, and it was very likely that they would encounter danger because they could not see the terrain clearly.
After thinking for a while, Xiao Xiong said, "Sister Li, why don't I carry you." ”
Li Xiaohong was stunned for a moment: "You are going to carry me?"
"What else could I do? Xiao Xiong smiled bitterly.
It seems that this is the only option. Li Xiaohong was still a little reserved and shy, but the cold wind was blowing, and she couldn't help but agree to this decision immediately.
