What does he mean by half-talking?

I looked at him with a confused look in my eyes, and I wanted to ask, but I didn't know how to look at him a little weak.

After thinking about it, I decided not to dwell on this topic with him anymore!

I calmed down, stood up and said to the young man: "I heard that the uncle and aunt outside are awake, and we can't get up too late." "Didn't you say that you want to take your uncle's hitchhike to the town?"

I looked at the boy without blinking, and when I said this, I groaned, "Then I'll go out first, and you should get up quickly." “

After that, I stopped looking at him, walked to the door first, pushed open the door and walked out!

I can't get up too late when I live in someone's house, and I can't help but feel anxious when I hear the sound of my uncle and aunt talking in the yard

In the morning in the mountains, the air is fresh, and under the big tree in the courtyard, the big yellow dog is meekly lying on the ground.

The uncle and aunt were standing there talking.

When the words were over, the uncle bent down and fetched a bucket of water from the well under the tree.

I hurried over, reached out and took the rope from his hand, and took over the water from him.

The eldest lady glanced into the room, her eyes stayed on my face, and asked me in a gentle tone, "Xiaolin, are you and your brother leaving today?" ”

"Well, auntie, my eldest brother plans to do so." I brought the water up, and my aunt took it.

"What's your big brother's plan?"

I opened my mouth, stunned for a moment, and then replied, "Auntie, wait for him to get up." I'll ask again. ”

I don't want to tell them directly about the teenager's plans.

Since it was his decision, it was more appropriate for him to say it himself.

After a while, the boy walked out of the house.

When the eldest lady saw him, she smiled and said, "You two go have some breakfast." Warm on the stove. ”

I followed the boy one after the other to the kitchen.

After a brief wash, I looked around and saw that the pot on the stove was still steaming.

I walked over and lifted the lid of the pot, and there were two bowls of corn porridge on the bamboo steaming rack, as well as a plate of steamed sweet potatoes.

I took one of them and walked over to the small table in the stove. Pull out the stool and sit down to eat.

The boy hesitated and did the same with me.

We each took up a corner of the small table and dealt with the food on the plate.

Occasionally raise your head to look at each other. But I immediately looked away, and it was the first time since I had entered the mountains with him that I had experienced such a relaxing morning.

I'm almost halfway full, and considering that I still have to walk around town, it might take me a lot of time to hire a carriage. I thought about it and continued to stuff sweet potatoes into my mouth.

You have to eat enough to have the strength to walk.

The boy sat across from me. It's very elegant, but it's not slow.

He glanced at me from time to time, and his eyes were meaningful.

Soon, his dishes were all gone.

The young man put down the bowl in his hand, looked at me and asked, "Xiaoling, did you get up earlier than me in the morning, and when you saw the uncle and aunt in the yard, you already told them about my plan?" ”

I calmly put down the half-nibbled sweet potato in my hand and said, "I didn't say it." ”

The boy gave me a strange look, his expression inexplicable. "Xiaoling. You didn't say it? He asked me with wide eyes.

"Since it's your plan, it's better for you to go and tell them." I changed my tone and said, "I'm afraid I can't tell you clearly." ”

I turned my head and looked out the window to catch a glimpse of the two old men in the courtyard.

The young man looked at me speechlessly, and after a while, he asked, "Xiaoling, you can't tell me clearly about a ride?" “

Actually, I'd love to tell him the truth!

The main reason is that I don't really want to talk to people, so I'll leave the problem to the teenager to complete.

When the words came to my lips, I swallowed them anyway, not wanting to tell him what was in my heart.

I was thinking that he had made all the suggestions for going into the mountains, and that the current plan was decided by him, and I was just cooperating.

Since I'm not the dominant one from beginning to end, it's more logical to let him come forward.

With my mind spinning, I glanced at the young man and said, "You can tell the old man directly, the time is in a hurry, I'm afraid I'm going to leave in a while." “

The boy was silent, but nodded.

After breakfast, I went out of the stove with him and walked out into the courtyard.

The uncle's carriage was parked outside the courtyard, and the eldest lady was moving some things to the cart at this time.

The uncle was going to the town to see his daughter, so almost all he brought was food.

The salted meat of the eldest lady, dried vegetables and dried fish, and two furs were placed in the middle of a pile of food, which I heard was used to make winter clothes.

I walked over and helped the eldest lady carry it together, there were no particularly heavy things, just me and her could handle it.

With something in my hand, I looked back and saw the boy talking to the uncle under the big tree.

When Uncle Shicai was about to move things with us, he was pulled over by the teenager to talk, and I think he must have said something he mentioned to me.

The things were moved to the car, and the eldest lady walked over, and I followed her to the bottom of the tree. "That's good, you can find a carriage to go to Suzhou when you get to the town."

The uncle briefly relayed what the young man had said to the eldest mother.

After the eldest lady listened, the two exchanged glances, and then agreed, "The hitchhike is just right, and it's rare to go to town, you guys are in a hurry!" “

Even if it was an agreement, the boy and I didn't delay too long, and the uncle was going to the town in a hurry.

He had to eat at his daughter's house at noon and had to drive back before sunset.

A few people talked under the tree for a while, and we were about to say goodbye to the eldest lady and go on the road.

The eldest lady was very polite and brought some dry food for us to eat on the way

The carriage followed the slope and descended from the mountain.

Along the way, the trees on the side of the mountain road kept retreating, and I looked at the mountain wind for a while and became distracted, thinking about looking for my senior brother after I arrived in Suzhou City.

My eyes were sharp, when I passed a mountain col. Suddenly, I saw the bare soil layer on the cliff, which must have been caused by rain.

When I looked closely, the soil on top looked extremely soft.

I turned my head and asked my uncle, "The soil on this mountain looks like it's prone to landslides when it rains heavily." “

The uncle glanced sideways at the hillside and said, "That's right." The dirt here is almost all like that. “

I was stunned for a moment, frowning and thinking about it.

The uncle continued: "Didn't you come from the middle of the road? "You should have passed through that forest on the way?" The uncle asked me, and his eyes swept over the young man, who was cold, closing his eyes and recuperating.

I'm the only one left to chat with.

I hurriedly replied, "Yes, after passing through that forest, my aunt told me." You've also set up a number of traps over there. “

The uncle said happily: "That's right, it's all in the corner, if you're lucky." I'll be able to catch some living creatures every few days. "Xiaolin, do you see the waterfall in the forest?" Uncle asked me. "See, the waterfall flows down and gathers into a stream, and the stream goes down the mountain."

I answered quickly. for I have explored all the way. I was impressed after walking a few times!

After pausing for a moment, the uncle said, "Xiaolin, in fact, the edge of the original forest, close to the stream, used to live in several families. "Ah," I exclaimed, "what about them?" I didn't see any signs of inhabitation when I passed through the woods. "It's because during the rainy season, the stream swells, just like you said. The mud and rocks washed down from the mountain, so the families moved away. "Your home isn't affected, is it?" I asked. "Sounds scary!"

Mudslide gods. Listen scared! "It doesn't matter," the uncle said in an affirmative tone, "Anyway, I haven't been in danger for many years." "We live in a location that bypasses the stream so that we don't have a disaster during the rainy season."

I answered, and a few thoughts suddenly crossed my mind

The mountain road gradually widens, and it is close to the boundary of the village below.

I looked at the village in the distance, raised my head and asked the uncle, "Why don't you and your aunt move down the mountain to live?" ”

"There are a lot of villagers here, so there is a care?"

I think it's strange that it's better to live with the villagers down the mountain than to live there alone in the mountains, with two old men!

Especially in yesterday's encounter, they had to go down the mountain to exchange things with the villagers, and it took a lot of time to go back and forth.

In my opinion, it's a bit too strenuous!

Unexpectedly, the uncle shook his head and said, "The mountain is good, we are used to living there." ”

"Xiaolin, I'll tell you the truth, my daughter even mentioned to us that we should move to the town," the old man said without hesitation, "The two of us discussed it, but we still didn't want to go, so we stayed in the mountains." “

Accustomed to an environment, I don't want to move easily, I know, and I responded again.

The old man has his own ideas, and it is not something that others can say in a few words.

He mentioned to me that even his daughter had suggested that they move out, but now that the two old men are still living in the mountains, it means that persuasion is ineffective!

Seeing the houses in the village below the mountain from a distance, the uncle did not slow down.

He still maintained the original speed, turned around and said to me directly: "Xiaolin, let's not go to the village, just go around from outside the village." ”

"It's a nice day, let's get to town early, you two have something to do."

Just what the doctor ordered!

I didn't expect the uncle to be so easy to speak, I turned my head to look at the cold young man who closed his eyes and recuperated, and finally opened his eyes at this time!

I don't know if he was really asleep or fake asleep when I was chatting with my uncle before!

This guy seems to have something on his mind, but his eccentricity is not only me, but even the uncle can see it, at least no one will care about him for now.

Originally, I thought that if I passed through the village, I was afraid that it would take a lot of time, but on the one hand, the uncle was in a hurry to go to his daughter's house, and on the other hand, he was also empathetic and considerate of us.

The carriage skirted the village along the mountain road and continued towards the town

We set out from the mountains at dawn.

When I got to the outside of the town, it was only morning, and the speed was quite fast.

Uncle said that the main thing is that the weather is strong, and it rained heavily a few days ago, and the mountain road was muddy, not to mention the drive to the town, even if it was difficult to go down the mountain.

The car entered the street of the town, and I got out of the car with the boy, because the uncle said that he would hire a carriage to go to the southeast of the town, but his daughter lived in the north of the town.

He wanted to take us directly to the place where the car was hired.

The boy and I still wanted to walk around the town, so we thanked the uncle for his kindness.

After saying goodbye to the uncle, we watched the carriage drive all the way out of our sight.

Standing on the streets of the town, I looked back at the boy and said, "Are you sure you want to walk around the town like this, don't you notice a little uncomfortable?" “

I understand what I mean, the passers-by have seen him more than once.

Whoever sees such a person standing on the street will take a few more looks.

It's so abrupt!

The young man frowned and said, "Go over there." “

He pointed to a shop not far away, and saw that not only clothes were sold, but also many accessories such as hats and belts: "Go and find it." “

The boy followed me to the store.

He chose a hat, which, unlike the more exaggerated patterns I had seen on the streets of the capital, was much lighter, and the veil that covered his face was just under his neck.

The boy paid and shouted at me.

I just looked back and saw his new image, my eyes were a little frozen, and I couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

It's not the people who look at him, it's the people who look at his new equipment.

When he was choosing, considering his awkward personality, I didn't join in the fun, and walked to the place where women's clothing was sold by myself.

At this time, the young man finished shopping, and saw me standing next to a pile of red and willow green women's clothes, and frowned: "Xiaoling, you still have this hobby?" “

I groaned in my heart, oh no!

For a moment, seeing beautiful women's clothes is a completely subconscious reaction!

Staying there, but forgetting what I'm looking at, it seems more logical to look at the men's clothing.

I blushed and said, "I'm just going to take a look, just take a look!" “

I got ahead of the boy and walked out of the shop first.

I was relieved when I walked down the street!

I have to stay away from that kind of right and wrong for a while, so as not to show flaws!

I walked down the streets of the town with the boy, and he changed into a new outfit that looked at least as scary as he had covered his face with a cloth.

We walked around the town and saw the pastry shops, woodsmith shops, pharmacies, and even saw the places where the men liked to go when we passed an alley.

I didn't expect that although the town is small, there are quite a lot of configurations, and I wondered if Suzhou City would be similar to this layout as I walked.

Walking out of the capital by water is the first time to walk around the town, and before that it was on a boat or in the mountains.

Looking at it this way, going north, the customs and customs of various places are different from those of the national capital.

The boy came from the south of Sealand, and his impressions and feelings must have been deeper than mine, and I was eager to discuss it with him, but I turned my head to his face, and the words were swallowed by me again.

This guy has been looking at me with strange eyes since he came out of the ready-to-wear shop! (To be continued......)
