Chapter 8 The hut where we rested

The family was obviously not wealthy, the thatched eaves were about to collapse to the ground, and the yard enclosed by tree branches was densely overgrown with weeds, one person was tall, and most of them withered and spread in the yard, a thick layer. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

When I got closer, the courtyard door was wide open, and there were no doors and windows.

The two glanced at each other, and their hearts were also cold, this look was an abandoned house that no one lived in.

At this time, the sky had just been polished, and the large open hall was black and hollow, like a monster, waiting for the prey to enter its mouth with its mouth wide open.

"Anyone? Is there anyone in the house? Xie Yujiao's hot blood suddenly cooled down, and she hoped to be as disappointed as she was, which was what happened to her at this time.

The desire to eat a hot meal and sleep well was suddenly shattered into slag in front of this long-abandoned thatched hut.

The little boy ignored the dejected Xie Yujiao.

He walked into the house, knocked on the threshold with the crutch in his hand, stood quietly for a while without hearing any movement, and was about to raise his legs and enter the house.

"Who?" A deep male voice came from the room.

"Hell! Ghosts? Xie Yujiao, who was about to enter the house closely, was startled by this sudden sound and jumped out shouting, but accidentally fell to the ground.

The little boy was also startled by the sudden hoarse voice, and when he tried to calm down with a tense little face, he raised the crossbow on his wrist to aim at the source of the sound, and struck the threshold with his stick in his other hand.

"Are you a human or a ghost?" Xie Yujiao asked loudly again.

"You are the same who is staying overnight, you are at your own convenience." After that, there was silence.

Xie Yujiao and the little boy glanced at each other, stood for a while, and didn't hear any more meaning, then the two cautiously entered the hall and walked into the wing room on the other side.

A veritable empty house! Both of them stood in the room, wailing in their hearts.

Except for a potholed window ondol, there was really nothing left.

The house has now become a spider's territory, and the silk webs in the house are like a real-life version of the silk holes.

The poor two children were already weak, and they had been walking for several hours overnight, and their physical strength had reached the extreme, and they really couldn't continue to hurry, so they could only rest first.

"Let's go out and find something to clean up these cobwebs, otherwise we won't be able to stay" Xie Yujiao turned around and went to the yard to pull a large handful of dead grass and tied it to the little boy's crutch as a simple broom.

After cleaning the cobwebs, the house was much cleaner, and the wind blowing in from the unobstructed windows also blew away all the odors in the house.

"Let's pull more grass and spread it on the kang, otherwise we won't be able to lie down."

The little boy never spoke, but just followed Xie Yujiao's feasible proposal.

The thick weeds were spread on the kang and lay down softly, and the two of them had no extra energy.

Xie Yujiao only wrapped the cloak on her body tightly and fell asleep.

The little boy was not as big as hers, and he was still wondering who was in the next room, and why he only heard his voice and did not see him. I don't know if there is one person or how many people are inside, isn't it those gangsters last night?

I think it shouldn't be the villain of last night. Those people will obviously kill everyone they meet, and they will not allow their two children to live to this time.

Is it really a sleeper? He guessed, but he didn't know the number of people on the other side, so it was better to be vigilant.

He didn't lie down like Xie Yujiao, but held the bow and crossbow, leaned his back against the wall, and closed his eyes.

He didn't feel at ease when he closed his eyes, thinking that the sky outside was already slightly shining, so he simply got off the kang, took the wooden stick, and cautiously leaned towards the west wing.

By the faint light of the sky outside the window, he stood at the door of the wing room, with an unobstructed view of the situation inside.

On the same earthen kang by the window as the east house, there was a person huddled up, and seeing that the person did not react to his arrival, he felt a lot more relieved, at least that person was not hostile to himself and others.

Xie Yujiao was woken up by the rain dripping on her body, otherwise she would have slept longer.

It was already dawn, and the boy curled up next to him was still asleep.

I didn't see his appearance clearly under the moonlight last night, and only then did I realize that the boy was really dark. However, his facial features are not outstanding, and at a cursory glance, he is as ordinary as a country child, and he looks about the same age as himself, and I don't know who is older.

Maybe it was Xie Yujiao's eyes that were a little offended, and she was stunned to wake people up from their deep sleep.

"Ah, you're awake? It's raining, it's raining inside and outside the house, and we can't walk now. Xie Yujiao pointed to the rain that was indistinguishable inside and outside the house to show him.

The rainwater on the kang is accumulating more and more, and the rainwater on the ground has formed puddles one after another.

Looking at the sky outside, you can see that the rain has not stopped.

"Hey! I don't know what your name is, my name is Xie Yujiao, I told you. You can call me Yujiao or Jiao Niang, I just turned seven years old in August, what about you? As soon as Xie Yujiao spoke, she realized that she was talking to someone who might be mute.

"Hey~ I asked in vain. If you don't speak, you're not really dumb, are you? She was a little discouraged, she really wanted someone to talk to her, and now that she had finally gotten rid of the clutches of the abductor, but she didn't know where she was, if she didn't even speak, then she would really go crazy.

She wants to go home, she wants to go back to the home that is loved by her father and mother, and she also wants her little brother with a little tail and a soft and glutinous little sister at home, as well as the hot soup and rice made by her mother.

"Hey! I don't know what happened to my parents? And my younger brother and younger sister, can you still remember my eldest sister, hey~"

A rumbling sound in her stomach interrupted her quack.

"I'm hungry, what about you, hey~ I also said that I could eat a hot meal, but I didn't expect to continue to starve, if there was a fire fold, we could make a hot meal by ourselves, the cake was too hard, and I couldn't gnaw it" Xie Yujiao, as a peasant girl in this life, can be regarded as a pampered upbringer, although she will not make the family's food alone, but she often helps her mother to burn the fire.

The simple matter of lighting a fire and boiling water still couldn't bother her.

She wrinkled her little face and complained, and as soon as her voice fell, she "snapped" something and threw it over.

"Wow~, you're amazing, you even have a fire break, you're so powerful, who are you? Why is it so powerful? What do I want, what do you have? Xie Yujiao picked up the fire fold, and the stars of worship in her eyes went straight out, and the looked very much like the pug raised by her cousin to please people, so that the little boy closed his eyes and couldn't bear to look at it directly.

"I don't know if you're really dumb, and you don't tell me what your name is, so I'll call you Jingle Bell, the universal Jingle Cat's Jingle Bell, you agree without speaking, Dingdong, hey, Dingdong, Dingdong, why is your face so red? Shy? Oops, it's hot, you're hot."

Xie Yu's petite hand covered Ding Dong's forehead, only to find that his forehead was very hot, obviously sick and feverish.

It's terrible, now in this place where there is nothing and nothing, if you get sick, it will kill you.
