Through the bamboo fence, I looked at the eldest mother, and still said to her embarrassedly: "Auntie, if you are inconvenient, we will not disturb you!" ”

"Just wanted to ask you"

"I don't know if there are any other people in this area," I asked in a gentle tone to the eldest lady, "We want to inquire with you." ”

Retreat is advance!

If the other party can't let down his guard, I can only think of another way.

Glancing sideways at the young man, in the night, I saw a smile on the corner of his mouth.

You could tell from his face that he agreed with me

After entering the door, the eldest lady was still looking at us.

It wasn't until she reached the door of the middle room that she pushed the door.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, my eyes swept around the courtyard, and I had to at least see the layout of the place first.

Walking outside, I gradually formed a habit, and every time I went to an unfamiliar place, I had to look at the surrounding environment and terrain first.

I didn't pay much attention to anything else, but I saw the dried fish hanging under the eaves, and my eyes were fixed in an instant.

The boy bumped me with his elbow before I came back to my senses and smiled awkwardly at him.

I'm looking at the scenery, he's watching my moves.

Especially when he saw me staring at the fish, he shook his head with a meaningful expression.

Then, suddenly, he took a step closer to me, leaned down slightly, and a faint smile appeared on his face, and he moved his mouth silently at me.

As for what he said, I think everyone must understand!

Talked a few words. I've been saying "I'm sorry to bother you so late" to my aunt.

The defensive look in her eyes slowly faded as the topic unfolded.

I lowered my head and weighed my words, and then said to her embarrassedly, "Auntie, our brothers and sisters have lost our way through the mountains in this area. “

"We were almost dizzy in the misty forest before we came out."

I made eye contact with the boy. We both saw the same meaning in each other's eyes, so I spoke more fluently.

"Auntie, I mentioned it to you before, but the most important thing is to ask you for directions."

"Where are you brothers going?" The eldest lady looked at me and asked.

"I heard that there is a place called Yuzhuang in this area, and I won't tell you that we were originally relatives."

I unhurriedly told my aunt about the experience of staying in a mountain village.

But what I'm telling her here is that Tsundere Boy and I both came south of Zealand.

The journey was not easy, and we also encountered bandits in the mountains on the Suzhou side. There were all kinds of thrills on the road, but we were finally lucky to avoid it.

The tsundere boy went to the mountain village with me to find distant relatives over there.

I thought it was a long way to finally arrive. I was able to find the person I was looking for, and I ran away with him!

We inquired with the family next door in the village, and we heard that the person was not in the village.

Upon questioning, we heard that he went to a place called Yuzhuang. It's quite far from the village. And hasn't been back for a while.

As I spoke, the tsundere teenager sitting next to me turned his gaze over from time to time.

As my narration slowly unfolded, the eldest lady obviously listened, and it could be seen from her expression.

On the other hand, the young man sitting next to him had an expression that was obviously the one I was most familiar with, and when he saw me looking at him, he pouted at me.

If I'm not mistaken, this guy is probably in the stomach again.

I didn't bother to pay attention to him. After a few words of dialogue, he stopped the topic and asked the eldest lady, "You must have lived here for a long time." I don't know if you've heard of the location of the fishing village? ”

"We are not familiar with the situation here, so we can only ask as we go."

I don't want to divide the things I ask into several times, just string them together and ask them clearly at once.

Hearing this, the tsundere boy sat aside and moved, and there was a hint of sudden realization in his eyes.

Nonsense, I don't have anything to do with so many stories, of course for a reason.

Thinking about the way the tsundere boy seemed to want to interrupt me several times when I was telling the story, I was amused by his immediate reaction.

The boy looked out the window.

At this time, the night was thick outside, and the soft sound of the mountain stream was heard in the distance, and he probably felt a little embarrassed when there was any scenery to show him

I'm in the kitchen, and I'm in a good mood and I'm busy with the work at hand.

It's just a meal, and I volunteered to do it yesterday.

I see that my aunt is old, and we are temporarily disturbing her.

Anyway, the boy eats a lot of food, and I haven't seen him eat much at the end of the day, so maybe it will refresh my cognition later.

I'll do a favor now, which means that I'll take care of my companion later, which is a small matter.

The thought that I would have hot dishes and soup by myself later, and that I would have a clean place to sleep without accident, was in a good mood.

Walking on the road is such a pursuit, what else can be found fault with being satisfied!

"I've found that everywhere I go, I always have something to do with the kitchen, as if I can't get something to eat every time."

In the middle of the busyness, I glanced back at the tsundere boy leaning against the door and reminded him, "Young Master, you are too idle." “

"Young Master, you're okay anyway, can you help me make a fire?"

I thought back to the time when I was in the east house of Suzhou City, and I couldn't help but say: "When Qingyin Pavilion lived, but Yuanbao helped me light the fire, he moved quickly and saved me trouble." ”

"When I got to live in the inn in Nanhua Town, I went to the kitchen to get food, and the guy in the store also helped me light the fire, he was really enthusiastic"

Before I finished speaking, the tsundere boy immediately blackened his face, walked straight over and snatched the firewood in my hand and said, "What are you talking about, you can do it!" ”

That's what I'm waiting for!

I knew before, just talk about the people who have helped. It always touched a nerve that he didn't know which one.

It may be that this eldest young master has always felt very good about himself, and he feels that the people around him can't compare to him, so even if it's a trivial matter like lighting a fire. It's better to be able to keep others down.

The corners of my lips lifted as I watched him walk to the stove and start working on the fire.

As long as he does it, I know that he will successfully complete the task I gave him, and I can do anything else.

The boy poked his head out from behind the stove and looked at me and asked, "Xiaoling, what are you going to eat?" ”

"Isn't there something ready to eat?" I looked at the contents of the kitchen, and my tone was definitely authentic. "You've been on a day's journey with me, and the best thing is to eat lightly."

There is still leftover cold rice in the pot, plus vegetables from the eldest mother's family. It's easy to make a meal, and it doesn't take much effort.

While he had lit the fire, I walked to the corner of the house and looked down at the dry food piled there.

I stared at it for a moment. I kept looking at the pile of unnamed rhizomes in the corner.

A moment later. I beckoned to the tsundere boy and said, "Young Master, come and see, are you sure this thing can be eaten?" ”

Since I'm not from Sealand, I've stayed in the palace for the longest time since I arrived in Sealand, so I'm really not familiar with the products here.

To be honest, I can guess the use of medicinal herbs.

The tsundere boy put down the work in his hand and walked over, looked down at the pile of fruits, and said to me, "You can eat it." ”

"Xiaoling, you really aren't from Zealand." The young man said with emotion, "Otherwise, how could you not know this thing." ”

"Needless to say. I've told you the truth," I paused, glanced at him and continued, "so you understand now that sometimes I don't say it for some reason, or something that has nothing to do with you. “

"Because there's no need!" I looked at the boy and said.

The boy looked at me thoughtfully.

I avoided his gaze, lowered my head and whispered, "Right now, we're friends who go to the Northland together, and I don't want to lie to you." ”

The boy nodded, turned without saying a word, and walked back to the stove, continuing what he had left unfinished.

"Do you believe what the eldest lady said just now?" I looked up and asked him.

"Xiaoling, she doesn't look like she's lying," the young man said after thinking about it, "I think she's so old, there's no need to lie to us." ”

"You're right, if she had been wary, she could have kept us in."

I sighed and said, "I don't know why, every time I go to a mountain house, I always feel that there is a high probability that the male owner is not there." “

"Most of the hostesses are not very careful, and the news is relatively laggy."

"Male protagonist outside female protagonist, is it strange?"

The young man looked at me again and said, "You rarely go to other people's homes, so naturally I don't know." “

"Whether it's in Suzhou City or Nanhua Town, most of the people you haven't been to are actually like this."

"Yes, what about Silanan?" I turned to look at the tsundere boy and asked.

"You ask this" The young man hesitated slightly, then he lowered his head and said, "It's a little different over there, maybe the woman is more powerful." “

I was stunned for a moment, and immediately remembered some rumors about this eldest young master, and I heard Yuanbao and them talk about what the tsundere boy had done when he was a child.

"Your sister is so powerful that you can't even resist it," I winked at him, "I heard that you were bullied a lot when you were a child." ”

The boy looked at me alarmingly, pursing his lips.

I couldn't help but laugh and asked, "Listen to the people in the courtyard!" ”

"I don't remember those things for a long time."

After the tsundere boy pondered, he gave me an unexpected answer.

"Really?" I questioned, "People generally remember some impressive things that happened when they were young, do you really forget?" ”

"yes, I don't really remember." The boy turned his head unnaturally, and I looked at him suspiciously.

After thinking about it, I was about to ask a few more questions, when suddenly I heard the sound of horses' hooves on the mountain road outside.

It should be that the male owner of this family is back? I'm thinking.

The young man behind the stove immediately stood up and looked at me when he heard the voice and said, "Xiaoling, go out and have a look." ”

It was the male owner of this house, and he looked younger than the lady who received us, and he looked very energetic.

Anyway, at first glance, these two people think they are old men with gentle personalities.

People still pay more attention to the first impression, and at first glance they feel good, at least half of their guard is lowered.

After asking about the origin, the uncle immediately said to the eldest mother: "Leave them to sleep in the room next to them tonight, you go and clean up." ”

Looking at the back of the old couple leaving, I gestured to the tsundere boy, and he continued to go back to the kitchen with me.

At this moment, the smell is already wafting in the kitchen, and I said that I will use ready-made ingredients to make the simplest home-cooked meals.

In fact, for such a weather, for the current environment, as long as it is a ready-made hot dish, hot soup and hot rice, how can it not be delicious!

Before the crossing, if you want to eat an authentic farmhouse, you usually have to spend time looking for it!

"Xiaoling, you didn't mention the matter of the fishing village to him just now," the young man said with a glance at me.

"I want to wait for the time being, at least wait until dinner and chat, and then ask, and if you go up and say it's not good."

I paused and looked at the boy.

"You weren't very direct before." The boy added a handful of firewood and asked.

"Where is it direct, didn't you listen to me say so many things, and only talked about the fishing village in a roundabout way?"

I just let my aunt down her guard and didn't feel that the question was abrupt, so I bothered to say so many words, and finally mentioned the matter of the fishing village.

In the meantime, he endured the impatient eyes of the tsundere boy several times.

"Why don't you ask the uncle questions later?" I turned my head to look at the young man.

He immediately refused, and he couldn't help but refuse.

"You go and say, as long as you are the same as agreed, don't arrange family affairs for me, and you can do anything else."

After a few moments, the man suddenly walked in, still holding in his hand an object that he had already half-cooked and couldn't see what it was.

"You see, this is a hare caught in a trap in the woods."

He smiled at me and said to the tsundere boy.

I stared at the hapless hare in his hand, and for a second I remembered the little pet in the Qingyin Pavilion.

After he went out, the young man approached me and said in a gentle tone: "Don't worry, the rabbit was raised by Yuanbao's sister and kept in the big kitchen." ”

I exchanged glances with the boy, and I was momentarily speechless about the rabbit being kept in the big kitchen.

"I think I should have asked about the Misty Forest in a moment," I told the boy, "and don't forget that we have to go back." “

The exploration of the fishing village is just a process, not a goal, but we want to know more about the inside story of those suspicious people.

Also, for Longyuan Lake, I believe that the boy is as curious as I am.

The man of the Shicai family mentioned the trap in the forest, which made me think that this matter was more important, and that I should ask about the misty forest.

It's full of traps, and it's scary to watch.

"Young Master, you said it wouldn't be him, right?" (To be continued.) )
