"Well, what do you say?" I hurriedly asked him, "Have you ever heard of that place called Yuzhuang?" ”

"How," he paused, and continued, "I've thought about it, but I really don't! “

The boy and I looked at each other, and we both saw a look of disappointment on each other's faces.

For a while, I didn't know how to answer!

Originally, I was going to ask the man about the fishing village in a roundabout way, and even when I was busy in the kitchen, I was still planning how to express it more safely.

I also thought about whether I should discuss the details with the teenager.

However, I didn't expect that as soon as I came up, the man told us the answer straightforwardly!

Could it be that when the boy and I were busy in the kitchen, the two of them had a relationship through qi?

The man may have heard from the mouth of the eldest lady that we wanted to go to the fishing village, but in this way, judging from the answer he gave, it seems that the clue has been interrupted again.

I didn't have any preparation!

Because before I inquired, I had a vague expectation in my heart that this person would reveal some useful information.

The reason, of course, has something to do with their location, such a remote place, there are very few people who usually pass by, but because of the remoteness, the range of activities will become wider.

However, the mountain man Agui and the person in the village both understood and told us about the existence of the fishing village.

It's not far from the mountain village where we stayed, and it's not a situation where we've already arrived in the Northland and are too far away to understand the situation.

It's a village anyway, haven't you heard of it at all?

I looked down and wondered if there was some misunderstanding in the middle.

Sometimes human verbal expressions. There may be a bit of a difference in understanding.

Sitting at the table, listening to the sound of the firewood burning on the stove and the crackling of dry branches, I bowed my head and frowned in contemplation.

The teenager on the side reacted the same way as me. The two of them didn't say anything to each other, each thinking about something.

After thinking about it in my heart, I simply raised my head and stared at the male host, and asked again: "Uncle, do you know that there is no waterfront village in this area?" “

He looked at me, and I gestured and added, "Is it a village near a lake or a river?" ”

Yes. What I think of is that there are differences in places, and the fishing villages they describe may not be more clear than the villages I asked directly about the water.

Besides, does that village have to be called a fishing village?

The fishing village may be what the mountain people in the village where we stayed were called.

Maybe it has another name, as I think it is?

"Try my craft."

I pointed to the rabbit dish on the table and said to the old couple.

The old couple who were sitting on each other exchanged glances. A smile bloomed at the corners of his mouth at the same time.

"Xiaolin, your skills are good."

The eldest lady complimented me, and I nodded and smiled in return.

The serious conversation passed, and now my mood became cheerful.

Rice wine is not to be touched. Squint at the boy. If I drink it again, I'm afraid his face will be darker than the bottom of the pot.

It's okay to have a black face, the problem is that this person has convulsions from time to time, in case he thinks about preaching again later, a mouth just can't stop the rhythm!

My chopsticks moved, and suddenly my aunt looked at the guy sitting next to me and said, "Dalin, with your age, it's almost time to say kiss, right?" ”

I was stunned. I almost choked on a mouthful of soup!

Of course I didn't say his name, but the eldest lady speculated according to common sense. I must think that Xiaolin's eldest brother, hey, naturally the boy can't escape this familiar title!

Squinting at the face of the person next to me, I thought to myself that he was really afraid of something.

Oddly enough, he was always noticed by strangers.

I'm thinking, will let the eldest lady pay attention to his marriage, can it reflect from the side that in their eyes, the tsundere boy is a very good person?

Thinking about it, even I began to look at him.

The boy gritted his teeth, sensed my gaze, and immediately turned his head to stare at me.

I turned my head and shrunk my neck, I remembered what he had warned me earlier.

He said that he couldn't arrange his affairs again in front of the old couple, so this time the eldest lady herself mentioned it had nothing to do with me.

From sitting around a table in the kitchen to eat, I haven't mentioned a word about this topic.

The question is, at the age of the eldest mother, isn't it normal to usually see young people gossiping?

What's more, there is such a big goal here!

Casual conversations, current food, and a good atmosphere, so it's easy to get involved!

I looked at the face of the tsundere boy, and looked at him innocently, and the meaning was clearly written on his face.

It was the eldest lady who took the initiative to mention it, and it has nothing to do with me, big brother!

The boy bowed his head, as if he didn't know what to answer.

The atmosphere fell silent for a moment, and I saw that the young man was a little irritable, and quickly opened his mouth to make a round.

"Auntie, my eldest brother is embarrassed!" I glanced at him.

"You try this soup," I strongly recommended to my aunt, "and it's made from dried vegetables in the kitchen, and I've tried the soup made by the people in Nanhua Town, and made it in the same way as they do." ”

"My eldest brother and I came all the way from South Zealand, and I tasted this soup in Nanhua Town," I paused, and then added, "We both think it tastes good, and you just happen to have this in your kitchen." ”

The eldest lady listened and said: "Xiaolin, it's not a rare thing, every family in our area will do it." ”

"Really?" I smiled at my aunt and said, "But let's call the south, and it tastes quite fresh." ”

Counting it, Wu Yu, who met by chance, is also a person from Nanhua Town, and she learned it just by watching her.

I don't know where Wu Yu is now, she has already arrived in the small town where her father lives, right?

The young man's face softened slightly, and this time he owed me a favor.

Because I helped him out of the siege

When talking about eating. I noticed a sigh of relief from the person sitting next to me.

"It's natural for men and women to marry, what's so embarrassing?"

The eldest lady's tone was calm and authentic.

It's not the first time I've heard that.

I know the cliché. The young man was not happy to be entangled in this topic again, so he had an idea and asked about the eldest mother's family.

I was thinking that maybe the old man who asked these gossips was because his children were not around, so he couldn't help but care when he saw the young man.

"You're right, who made my brother this character since he was a child?"

I glanced at the boy. Retracted his gaze and said to the eldest lady, "Is your child going out or?"

"We have a daughter, who married a few years ago and went to the Northlands. Now the children are quite old. ”

When the eldest lady spoke, her face darkened and she sighed.

The boy coughed, and I turned to look at him.

He looked a little depressed. Replace me with him. It's a bit annoying to be asked about it many times while walking outside.

I glanced at his bowl and saw that he had drunk all the rice wine that the eldest lady had poured up, stood up and said to him, "I'll go and help you make a bowl of rice." ”

I took the coarse porcelain bowl in front of him, which was a rare time for me to be proactive.

I winked at him, took a few steps behind the uncle, and made a gesture to the boy.

I picked up the bowl and walked over to the sink by the stove, and halfway there, I couldn't help but look back again.

The young man lowered his head and listened to the chatter of the eldest mother. At this point, the topic changed, and the old couple was talking about their own affairs.

I rinsed the bowl. When I walked to the stove and lifted the lid of the pot, the steaming rice had already been cooked, and I picked up a wooden shovel and took a whole bowl of rice.

As I approached the table, their conversation continued.

This time, the boy and I were finally able to deal with the dishes in the bowl, and the old couple had a lively conversation.

What I just asked stirred up their hearts, and they didn't care about talking about teenagers at this time

When we walked outside, the mountain wind blew, and the cold could not be stopped.

Looking at the mountain road we walked through from afar, and looking at the mountains and forests after nightfall, if you walk alone in the mountains, to be honest, you will be really scared.

I was thinking that if the boy hadn't come with me when I left Suzhou, even if I had met the suspicious person I had seen in that inn while staying in the mountain village, I wouldn't have followed the footprints to find out.

If I had been curious and had followed the route told by the mountain people, I would probably have given up when the potholed road arrived.

The tsundere boy and I followed the eldest lady through the small courtyard one after the other, and she led me and the boy to the smaller room to the east.

The young man's eyes swept over the room, and he quickly looked at all the places in the room.

Following him, I saw that there were two beds in the room, and I was stunned.

The eldest lady pointed to the clean bed in the house and explained to me, "Last time, my daughter came back and brought her little grandson with her. ”

"I'm afraid that there won't be enough place to sleep, so I temporarily added a bunk."

The eldest lady looked at me and said, "I thought that they would come again in the future, so I said that I would not dismantle it, so it is just right that you two brothers will sleep together for one night." ”

I glanced at the boy, and it wasn't the first time I had been given a place to live.

I breathed a sigh of relief, and this time my expression was much calmer.

The eldest lady thought about it, and before going out, she turned back to me and said softly: "Xiaolin, you two brothers should rest early, and you have to hurry tomorrow morning!" “

The eldest lady withdrew and gently closed the door.

The tsundere boy and I each occupied a bunk in the house, glanced at each other, and there was nothing to talk about for the time being.

The bed I sat on was near the door, and in front of a small window, I got up and opened a gap in the window to look out.

The cold air outside is mixed with the wind blowing in, so cold! I quickly closed the window.

However, when I opened it for a short time just now, I saw that the eldest lady had returned to the big room in the middle, and there was a bright light there.

The eldest lady walked away, and only me and the boy were left in the room.

I habitually looked around the room, except for the bed, which was a cupboard and a small table with a stool.

Add up to a few things that are very simple, and the room is small and can't fit too much.

The beds, the tables, and the wood for the cabinets, I was curious, and when I went up to identify them, they seemed to be the ones we commonly found on the road.

Maybe the old man cut it down by himself!

Aside from the bed in front of me, everything else looked old.

I looked at it and turned my gaze to where the boy was.

I happened to see that the young man also happened to look at me, and the eyes of the two people met, and the young man was slightly stunned.

The boy got up and walked over to the only table in the room.

He sat down on a stool, so that he was closer to me.

The young man looked at me and said in a serious tone: "Xiaoling, when I get to the next station, I will send a message to Suzhou." ”

"Do you have any contact in the Northland?"

This is what I thought of as soon as I left Nanhua Town on the way here.

Actually, I was a little surprised, I didn't expect that this is the topic that the teenager is going to talk to me about now.

I thought he was going to talk to me about going to the fishing village, after all, we had heard some news about it.

The room was so silent that only the sound of the wind blowing outside the window could be heard.

The young man lowered his head and thought for a while before he responded to me: "Yes, there will be a way to contact me at that time." ”

"You can't really leave the affairs of Suzhou alone, right?"

I asked the boy tentatively, and as I spoke, I looked sideways at his expression.

The boy's eyes were fixed on me.

In my opinion, there are so many things in the Suzhou Yuwen family, he said to let it go, and there will be at least some follow-up arrangements before leaving.

The Fu steward who often followed him was the one who looked very fat and was a little afraid of him on the surface, and I was very impressed.

I believe that it should not be so simple to follow him all the way from South Xilan to Suzhou.

There are many stewards in big families, and the people who are arranged to follow this eldest young master must be the selected personnel.

"You're right," the young man's face froze, and after a silence, he said in a gentle tone, "Ah Fu knows what to do, so it's not a problem for me to leave for a while." ”

I was surprised to see that he was the kind of person who was quite good at speculating about the thoughts of his companions.

So it's not too unusual for him to be able to guess what I'm thinking

There was another brief silence, and the young man groaned for a while and said, "Xiaoling"

His tone sounded a little intimidating, and I asked him, "What's the matter?" ”

The young man lowered his eyelids and thought for a while, then raised his head and looked at me fixedly and asked, "Xiaoling, what do you think about the thing you heard about the fishing village just now?" ”

He finally got back to business, and that was the most important topic for me and him to discuss at this time.

I looked at him for a moment, and then said affirmatively, "I think Uncle is telling the truth." “

"How?" The boy's tone was a little uncertain.

I lowered my head and said to the boy, "I have an idea, I think the Tiger Cliff Village he mentioned is probably the same place as the fishing village!" (To be continued.) )
