Chapter 100: Arrival
The back of the white robe again, Wang Xixi shook his head, it seemed that he had only dreamed of the front of the white robe once in Gu Ao's house, but that time ...... She shook her head, it must be because she likes Gu Ao, so the dream is like that.
She rubbed her eyes, only to find that she had been pillowed on Gu Ao's shoulders, and he had kept his back straight, his eyes were slightly closed, and the small shadow cast by his eyelashes on his face shook slightly, he must have been very tired.
As if feeling the weight on his shoulders suddenly lighten up, Gu Ao opened his eyes, "Are you awake?" ”
"Hmm." Wang Xixi said angrily.
She turned her head to look at Hu Meiyin again, she was sitting opposite them, she fell asleep alone on the seat, her eyes narrowed into two long slits, even if she was asleep, her brows were still tightly locked, as if she had dreamed of something bad.
"Mom!" She suddenly screamed and woke up from her dream.
Gu Ao's brows furrowed, and he stepped forward to pat Hu Meiyin's back and comfort her.
Wang Xixi didn't notice what was happening in front of her, she was a little frightened, what happened to Hu Meiyin's mother, did she dream of her mother just now?
Xixi suddenly thought of what Jia Xiaoliang said, Hu Meiyin seemed to live alone when she was in elementary school, could it be that her parents abandoned her since she was a child, or her parents......
She didn't dare to continue thinking about it, if this was the case, then the relationship between Gu Ao and Hu Meiyin was more complicated than she imagined?
Hu Meiyin lowered her head, her long hair fell from her shoulders, she covered her face with her hands, her shoulders trembled, was she crying?
Gu Ao kept saying something in her ear.
Wang Xixi suddenly lost his jealousy, as if he saw someone weaker than himself, and the care they received was just out of pity.
But what's going on here?
Gu Ao's whisper seemed to have worked, Hu Meiyin's shaking slowly stopped, and after a long time she took her hand off her face, and there were obvious tears on her face.
It seems that she has returned to the arrogant and invincible girl of the past, she ignored the eyes of the full car, and stared at Wang Xixi with two eyes.
At first, Wang Xixi was a little uncomfortable, but she found that Hu Meiyin's eyes seemed to be staring at a certain object, and she realized that she was looking out the window.
Gu Ao sat beside Wang Xixi a little embarrassed, his eyes were a little helpless, but Wang Xixi squeezed his hand, indicating that she didn't care about what had just happened, Gu Ao also squeezed her hand back, and his eyes became firm.
The scenery outside the window slowly changed from high-rise buildings to low-rise bungalows, Gu Ao told her that their destination was at the last stop of the bus, and the bus did not stop at the low-rise bungalows, Wang Xixi's eyes drifted out of the window, and the density of the houses was slowly decreasing.
Gradually, she saw the bare earth in the gaps between the houses, yellow, scorched, squarely divided like a chessboard, and occasionally a man or two dressed as peasants walked on the ridges with shovels.
Further on, one can see the mountains in the distance, the mountains are sleeping in winter, and its skin is covered with trees that are also hibernating. There is a long and winding river nearby, Rao is such a warm weather, the river is still frozen, reflecting the sunlight into Wang Xixi's eyes, a little dazzling, she covered her eyes slightly with her hands, and restlessly squinted eyes from her fingers, facing the river. On both sides of the river is a vast plain, where clumps of wild grass are lush and withered, and decadent beauty envelops the whole land.
"Sissy, get out of the car." Gu Ao's deep voice evoked her from the lookout.
Wang Xixi followed Gu Ao behind Hu Meiyin, she was a little embarrassed when she returned to reality, there was still silence around her, she could see Hu Meiyin's back when she looked up, her hair was scattered on her back, and she blended into the wasteland in the distance.
Where is this, she just followed Gu Ao, got on the bus, got off the bus, but forgot to look at the stop sign, and just now she was busy looking at the changing scenery outside the window, and she didn't bother to pay attention to the female voice on the bus.
She also often followed her parents to visit her grandmother in the countryside, but there was no such large area of desolate wilderness.
"Where is this?" The question that I held all the way finally came out.
"My aunt's house." The soft female voice came in the fierce wind, a little desolate, a little gloomy, this is not the usual cold and arrogant Hu Meiyin.
Wang Xixi was a little surprised, her eyes widened unconsciously, this trip was full of all kinds of strange places from the beginning.
Gu Ao's hand pressed on her shoulder, and there was a determined force, and she looked at his eyes, which were also firm, as if to tell her that all the strangeness would eventually become reasonable.
What the hell is going on with these things, Wang Xixi thought of the explanation that Gu Ao had said, she restrained the surprise in her eyes, and followed them step by step through the dusty path.
This is a dirt road, and the dry yellow soil has to be trampled on by many people to become so solid, but the wind still rolls up layers of dust.
On both sides of the road are low bungalows, stone houses, very old-fashioned, the name of the village Wang Xixi has no time to catch up, it is good to know that Lu Dao is Hu Meiyin's aunt's house, the name will always be forgotten, and only its relationship with itself will be remembered.
Dry sycamore branches emerged from the top of the house, and many sycamore trees, like every household had planted sycamores.
When you enter the village, the road surface is completely turned into a bluestone slab, and when you step on it, it will make a crackling sound, and it is crisp and clean. Occasionally, I saw a short alley with stone bars on both sides, and the elderly people sat on it basking in the sun, glancing at them, the uninvited guests from the world outside.
Quiet, ancient.
Wang Xixi fell in love with this village at once. She should have wanted to be wary of Hu Meiyin, who was wary of this village. She forgot about it when she saw it.
They followed Hu Meiyin and turned into a small alley from the main street in the village. Many of the houses here are in the form of courtyard houses, but there are also single-family courtyards, which are usually made of stone with a low wall on the outside and an iron fence.
They stopped in front of a compound.
There was only a row of low bungalows opposite them, Wang Xixi counted them, there were three houses in total, and in the remote corner of the courtyard there was a room made of random buildings, without a door, and she could see the old-fashioned stove made of earth and a large cauldron inside, and in the sunlight she could clearly see the black walls, which was the kitchen.
The courtyard is surrounded by a stone fence and a fence made of wattles and tree trunks.
It's rudimentary. Wang Xixi thought.
Isn't Hu Meiyin's family very rich, why does her aunt live in such a place?
