Chapter 20: It Feels Weird
Listening to Ah Gui's words to tease him, the man shook his head a few times, and his expression was very helpless. "Hey, don't mention it, look at it"
The man raised his foot at Ah Gui, and looked at it, and there were many scars on his calves.
It looks like he was running in the mountains and was scratched by the thorns in the dense forest!
"It's not easy to chase such a rabbit," the man sighed and said with a gloomy expression, "not because there are fewer living creatures in the mountains after winter. ”
"Agui, are you going to go to the fishing village tomorrow morning?"
After the man finished speaking, he stared at the mountain man Agui and asked.
Before going out in the morning, when he greeted Agui, the other party asked about it, and then he remembered it and asked him casually.
Unexpectedly, the latter didn't answer, and his eyes subconsciously swept towards the room.
The visitor thought it was very strange, glanced in the direction of Aguiwang, and immediately asked: "Hey, I said, I'm asking you, why are you looking at the house?" ”
The person who came wanted to joke with him, but when he thought of Agui's sadness, he had to avoid mentioning it.
"Isn't it because your family also has passers-by staying tonight?"
After a few seconds, he asked Agui.
Speaking of which, many families in the village have met people passing by on the official road.
Those passers-by because of the weather, because they have run out of dry food along the way, or for some other reason, in short, for various reasons, make them come to the mountains to find a mountain folk to stay temporarily.
This situation is seen a lot, and it is naturally easy for people to associate it with it!
He finished. Agui nodded and said, "That's right, when I was hunting in the mountains, I met a man who went to the Northland and got lost. ”
"He'll be staying at my house tonight."
Immediately afterwards, Agui added: "The bed is given to that person to sleep on." “
The people in Tsing Yi have been humble. Ah Gui insisted on insisting, and he pushed the boat with the current. "Where do you sleep, do you want to go to my house?"
After listening, the visitor asked him after thinking about it.
Ah Gui waited for him to finish, smiled at him and shook his head: "No need, I went to the aunt's house next door to borrow two benches, found an old wooden board and built a bed!" “
"I'll be able to make it happen tonight."
The person who came listened with a calm expression. I didn't think there was anything wrong with it, the mountain people were generally very hospitable, and there were guests coming. Whatever food is delicious at home, it will be brought out and warmly entertained.
When they went hunting in the mountains, they often lit a fire in the cave for one night, and they didn't think anything was wrong.
The two of them stood at the gate of the courtyard and talked for a while, because they had just mentioned the matter of the temporary guests. Ah Guibian told him about going to the old couple's house before.
Listened to the previous situation. The person who came said with emotion: "There are few guests passing by during this time, I remember that a while ago, there were often people living in their house. ”
"I asked my aunt, and she said that she was about to catch up with the inn."
The two of them glanced at each other, and they both saw a smile in each other's eyes, and Ah Gui echoed and whispered, "Yes, their yard is bigger." ”
The person who came explained the reason to Agui: "If you want me to say, I think their location is better than our two, because you can climb the mountain halfway up the mountain." Not so tired. ”
"It's like going to your house, and I have to go to the top of the mountain!"
The visitor reached out and put a touch on Agui's shoulder. "Who likes to walk that far and come to your broken house!"
He laughed.
Hearing this, Agui nodded: "You're right, it's broken enough, let's take a look in the coming year, do you want to take a break." ”
He looked sideways at his dilapidated house, and for a moment his expression was a little dazed.
"When the time comes, you have to start work and tell me, I won't hunt for a few days, and I will help you repair the house together."
The person who came said to Agui very happily.
They all grew up together in the village, so the relationship is quite good, and helping is a matter of words.
"I'm not going to the fishing village tomorrow morning." The man instructed Ah Gui.
"I still have to go, take the people in the house down the mountain to the official road, he wants to stop the car to go to the north, he is from Nanhua Town."
This is the first time that Agui has told the origin of the people in the house, but after listening to it, the visitor asked in surprise: "He came from Nanhua Town?" Got here? ”
He felt a little puzzled, he usually came by horseback or car, or just by hitchhiking, and it was impossible to walk all the way from Nanhua Town alone.
But listening to what Agui said, that person is clearly a person, and there is no transportation!
"Oh, he told me, the car broke down halfway down the road, and a bunch of people were waiting there."
Ah Gui paused while speaking: "He was in a hurry to go first, and he wanted to take a shortcut after walking for a while, but he got lost in the mountains while walking, and he was lucky to meet me." ”
After listening, the visitor nodded and said, "It's not!" If he was in the mountains in the middle of the night, he would be miserable if he ran into a wild beast. ”
"Where is it so easy to run into wild beasts, it's not easy for you to chase rabbits!" "But if you're in the mountains, you don't have anything to eat, and the roads aren't familiar, it's really a big trouble."
Ah Gui whispered to the visitor: "So he is lucky." ”
"Who lives in the eldest lady's house?" Someone gossiped and asked.
"It's also going to the Northland, it seems to be" Ah Gui replied casually, not paying much attention to it.
The person who came showed a contemplative expression, and after a while, he raised his head and looked at Ah Gui and said, "Why have there been more people going to the Northland in the past two days?" ”
"Who knows? Isn't it related to the war?! ”
There was a hint of uncertainty in his tone, because no one knew the real insider!
Even at the moment, there are a lot of rumors outside, and when the war will start, few people know about it.
Legend has it that it was slowly approaching that point in time.
Even the mountain people knew about the war going to war in the Northland, and almost everyone in the village, including Agui, had heard about it.
The news spread from north to south, all the way. The two armies had been at war before, and it was delayed due to the earthquake, but the relaunch was postponed again and again.
Although this area is considered to be deep in the mountains. But because it is not far from the official road, it passes by at the foot of the mountain, so if there is any wind and grass, they can also get some news here.
In addition, there are people in the village who make a living in the Northland, and some of them have quit their jobs and come back from there, and they will mention these things.
The mountain people are not ignorant. For the urgent situation in Sealand.
"Agui, in fact, I have one more thing to tell you, I think it's quite weird." The person who came closer, lowered his voice and whispered, "Just now I saw people on horseback with torches on the official road, they"
As a result, the eldest lady went to the side house and found a quilt.
In fact, their family has often had guests from outside the house. There are also bedding for temporary stayers at home.
The couple changed their minds at the moment. It's because I came out to treat my eldest mother tonight.
She probably didn't feel good in her heart, so when she told me about it, she insisted on finding another quilt for us to use at night.
It may sound strange, but it was exactly what it was.
I waited with the tsundere boy and the eldest lady's wife in the house where they lived, and by the way, I also told my uncle about the specific steps to do after picking herbs in spring.
After describing the steps in a few words, the uncle nodded and said, "Don't worry, we have a lot of herbs and herbs here." ”
Since they are familiar with it, I will not say more.
The uncle excused himself to see how the eldest lady was preparing in the side house. As soon as he left, there were only two people left in the room, me and the tsundere boy.
The atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment. Actually, it's not the first time I've been alone with him, but I can't put it into words when I think of the room that my aunt prepared for us for a while.
My mind was spinning, and I wanted to find a suitable topic to break the deadlock with him.
Before I could come up with a topic, the boy turned and walked out.
What is he going to do? My first reaction was curiosity, and then I heard a voice in the room, and the young man was asking the eldest lady about the terrain in this area.
He asked very carefully, and I heard the eldest lady's answer.
Why did that guy remember to ask this?
I think back to when I was in the car, he seemed to have mentioned to me that he didn't seem to be very familiar with the area.
Because when he took his men to the Northlands, he was always in a hurry.
They have something to do, they don't have time to stay on the road for too long, if they stay temporarily, they won't choose to stay in the local mountain village, with the guards to follow him, where can so many people be taken in?
What's more, at that time, they were indispensable to guides.
The guards of the Yuwen family serve as the function of the living map!
I pursed my lips, he was a coachman, let him go and inquire about the news, I looked down and continued to look at the picture of the herb that had been left on the table.
Again, I recalled what I had seen in Dr. Wu's booklet.
After waiting for a while, the conversation next door continued, so I pulled out my stool and sat down, and continued to watch by the light
The three of them came out of the side room, and the boy followed last.
The eldest lady was the first to enter the door with the support of her boss, but she didn't expect to see the scene of the person lying on the table asleep.
The young man who followed behind him saw that they suddenly stopped, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
He stepped forward, naturally saw the scene clearly, and immediately looked at it angrily and funny, and didn't know what to say for a while.
"Maybe this kid is tired and has been on the road for a day!"
The eldest lady stopped at the door, her tone very low, but the young man still heard a sigh from her words.
"Your brother is an apprentice in the medical hall, it's very hard," the eldest lady turned her head to look at the young man, "Look at him, he's so thin, standing next to you is a big difference, and he's still a half-old child!" ”
"When you are an elder brother, you should take care of your younger brother more, and you can't lose your temper with your younger brother because of your own affairs."
The young man frowned, but did not answer.
"You can't see anything on your face, the women who didn't look down on you before were blind."
"That's it, if you look at your body, you can work," the eldest lady took a step closer to the young man, stepped forward and persuaded her, "Your uncle was right just now." ”
Teenager: ""
After a while, he finally stood at the door of the house and listened to the chatter of the old couple, and the young man's eyes turned inward from time to time, Xiaoling, that guy is simply, so he doesn't wake up?!
Didn't you sleep in the car for a long time during the day? Is it a sleepy bug?!
The young man sighed silently in his heart, and finally waited until the eldest mother said, "Wake up your brother, you will catch a cold if you fall asleep like this." ”
The young man didn't hesitate for a moment, he stepped forward and had the urge to wake up the guy, so he slowly leaned his head over and said into the guy's ear, "Wake up." “
I smiled apologetically at them, rubbed my eyes, and especially said to my aunt, "I'm really sorry, I'm too tired to travel during the day, and I didn't fall asleep." "The quilt has been found, you two go to sleep."
The eldest lady stretched out her hand and touched the door of my head and said, "Don't be in a hurry tomorrow morning, the convoy under the mountain usually passes more after the sun comes out." "It's winter!" "Okay, listen to you, auntie."
The tsundere boy had already arrived at the door, and then turned to me and said in a deep voice: "Xiaoling" "My eldest brother called me, auntie, I'm over." “
After a short sleep, I'm in a pretty good mood right now, and I looked back at the tsundere boy when I walked into the side room.
He left behind me as he walked out, his face a little dull, and he didn't understand what he was thinking. "You're upset again?" I couldn't help but yawn, glanced at the tsundere boy and muttered, "Looks like someone messed with you." “
When I approached the bed in the side room, I looked at the quilt on it, which should have been specially found by the eldest mother.
All of a sudden, my face turned red! It feels weird.
After calming down my emotions, I looked sideways at the tsundere boy and said, "I know why you are in a bad mood, the eldest young master is used to living a good life, where can you stand sleeping on such a hard bed." ”
A subtle look flashed across the young man's face, and he lowered his voice and said to me, "How can you see it?" ”
"It's all written on your face." I stared at him a few times, nonchalantly.
"Don't worry, although the conditions are a little worse, at least I won't bother you." "Don't worry, you can live alone in this room."
I thought for a few seconds, then continued to him, "I'll go to sleep in the kitchen, the fire is closer there, I like to be warmer." ”
"This quilt" My eyes swept over the bed, looking at the new quilt that the eldest lady had found, and then turned to the young man after a short pause, "You use it yourself, I'll use the other one, it's okay." ”
Actually, before I went to the side house, I also thought of several ways to wait for the night to leave, of course, I couldn't be in the same room with him.
At the beginning, in the deep mountains, there was really no way to do it, and now that there is a second option, how can two people sleep in the same room?
After thinking about it, I decided to explain it to him directly, and said that I didn't want to sleep here.
In fact, it's really warm in the kitchen.
I walked over to the cupboard in the room and picked up the quilt that had been covered by a few people who had stayed on it.
Actually, I didn't think about it, I said I couldn't accept it.
It's just a saying that it's good to put the tsundere boy at ease. (To be continued.) )
