Li Chen took a few steps forward, came to the cage, and squatted down.

Kuroko let out a "whine" cry in his throat, apparently recognizing who the person in front of him was.

Li Chen stretched out his hand and was about to touch its head, but he didn't expect that the sunspot was like this, and the ferocity was not small, grinning at him, and there was a threatening sound in his throat.

The outstretched hand paused, but still stretched forward, and the sunspot's head also tilted upward, as if he wanted to raise his mouth to bite Li Chen's hand.

"It seems that he is really old, and he will become like this when he encounters a little illness." Li Chen muttered to himself, as if he was saying it to Kuroko.

Ignoring Kuroko's grinning mouth, after raising his hand slightly, he touched Kuroko's hair.

The short hairs no longer feel smooth, but have a rough feeling, a little prickly, as if they have dried up and have no moisture.

Seeing that the sunspot was constantly moving his body hard, Li Chen gave it an aura to see if he could save this life, he had never done a similar experiment on a creature that was about to die of old age before.

Although he is treated special by Kuroko every time he comes, he is also used to this thing, and if he suddenly does not have its 'welcome', he is really not used to it!

This should be a habit that you shouldn't get used to.

Besides, the only one who can accompany the fourth uncle now is the sunspot, and the third uncle will not be able to come back until the New Year.

After Kuroko felt the aura, he also quieted down, and gradually lowered his head, his eyes closed, and his face was full of enjoyment.

Li Chen saw that it had an effect, and he couldn't help but increase the amount of aura, only hoping that it would not be a return to the light...

After feeling that it was almost there, he took his hand away, and Kuroko was already asleep, knowing that he couldn't see the effect yet, so he left here.

Back in the house again, the old man told Wu Changliang about some matters in the village and answered his questions, and Li Chen listened to it without disturbing.

After sending the people away, Li Chen asked, "Fourth uncle, doesn't the new village chief live in the village?" ”

The old man moistened his mouth and replied, "Well, he lives in the compound of the village committee." ”

The village committee compound, also known as the village committee compound, is a unified private organization that manages several nearby villages, and things like Dingzhu Village and Xinzhong Village are actually called 'groups', which is the division method after their division here, but because they used to call it habitual, now they are called 'villages' instead of 'groups'.

Li Chen's house is No. 08, Dingzhu Group, Xixiang Village, Wantun Town, but others know it if it is Dingzhu Village directly outside.

"Then why didn't he hold a village meeting and officially take office?"

"Does it make a difference?" The old man glanced at Li Chen.

"Uh...... Not really, I know it anyway. Li Chen scratched his head.

Then I remembered what I said when we met just now, and I couldn't help asking, "By the way, what did he mean by asking me to give more opinions just now?" Do you really want to be quietly 'gilded'? ”

The old man smiled and said, "Maybe, isn't this just right?" I'm afraid he'll use his axe. ”

"Even if he wants to do it, he has to ask the villagers if they agree, and the villagers don't have a good impression of him."

"Maybe he just knew, so he pulled you to be a shield!" The old man reminded.

Li Chen was a little unsure: "Can't... Right? ”

"You think you're smart? The one who comes to 'gild' is mindless? The old man gave Li Chen a glare.

Li Chen shook his head and denied, "No, I'll pay attention to it in the future." ”

Listening to the old man's words, Li Chen really felt that there was this possibility, although he couldn't always think of the world as evil, but there was still a need for prevention.

"By the way, how is Shinnakamura doing now?"

"The water is almost out, but most of the houses are uninhabitable and need to be rebuilt." The old man sighed.

Li Chen also sighed: "To be honest, I also want to tear down and rebuild the houses in our village." ”

"What do you think?" The old man didn't believe that Li Chen was talking nonsense.

Li Chen shook his head and said helplessly: "This matter is still a shadowless matter, it's useless to say it, if it can be done in the future, let's talk about it." ”

"You're still sloppy with me!" The old man stared at Li Chen dissatisfied.

"Uncle, it's time for you to make dinner, I'll go first." Li Chen shrunk his neck and ran quickly towards the door.

The fourth uncle's shout came from afar: "Next time you kid comes here, see how I beat you." ”

…………

Back at home, the kitchen was already curling with smoke and cooking.

Li Chen walked to the kitchen and was surprised to find that it was Ye Jingting cooking, a little surprised, "Why are you cooking?" ”

Ye Jingting, whose face was gray and white, glanced back at Li Chen, and said angrily: "Why can't it be me cooking?" ”

Li Chen turned into two steps and walked over, rolled up his sleeves, "I'll come." ”

After Ye Jingting gave up her position, she said, "Aren't your parents usually doing it?" ”

"Mom and Dad can't say it's coming."

"Why?" Li Chen took a piece of firewood and looked at Ye Jingting in surprise.

"How do I know?" Ye Jingting pouted.

Li Chen skipped this question and said instead: "Then why don't you tell me, and come to cook in person, Mom knows, don't kill me!" ”

"I'm still alive and kicking now, why can't I cook." Ye Jingting tilted her head and hummed unconvinced.

Li Chen said funny: "Yes, I can cook, but every time I see you come to the kitchen, I can make my face black and gray, and I have a unique sense of comedy." ”

When Ye Jingting heard this, she subconsciously touched her face, and then there were more marks on her face, looking at the black carbon marks on her hands, she didn't say a word, and quickly left the kitchen.

Looking at the empty doorway, I couldn't help muttering: "What's this, isn't it just carbon ash, it's much cleaner than the dirt, and I haven't been so alarmed when I went to the ground..."

……

……

The next day, Li Chen took Ye Jingting to the direction of Xinxin Village, and climbed the mountain to go over.

Although the water receded a little, the road was left with more than half a meter of mud and sand, and there were tree branches and other things blocking it, so it was completely impassable.

Originally, she didn't want to take Ye Jingting over, but after hearing that Li Chen was going over, she asked to go with her as soon as possible, and said a lot of reasons, she was coquettish and cute, and the threat of hanging was used.

Li Chen thought that she was only more than a month pregnant now, and it was good to exercise, so she agreed to her request.

But......

"You carry me, I can't walk." Ye Jingting said panting on her knees.

Li Chen looked at the mountain road that had only climbed less than half of it, and said helplessly: "Now the road up the mountain is so fighting, and it is still slippery, you want to die together." ”

"Then rest before leaving." Ye Jingting pouted and said, and then walked to the small stone next to her and sat down.

"I told you not to follow, I still want to come over, there's something to see over there, I'm just going to see what the situation is like, you think it's an outing."

Having said that, looking at Ye Jingting, who was panting, Li Chen also acquiesced to the proposal of resting.

took out a bottle of salt water from the backpack he was carrying and gave it to her, and after knowing that Ye Jingting was going to follow, he specially prepared a backpack, water, and some food, as if it was an outing.
