Chapter Twenty-Four: The Crippled

"Miss Yiling, is your house far from here?" Since he was destined to meet him, Guo Tongxin wanted to see what kind of master this lame man Tie was, and why his father, who was thousands of miles away, knew his name. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Not far, at the foot of the mountain." Jiang Yiling tore off the chicken thighs that had been roasted and handed them to Guo Xiaoxin, "Miss Xiaoxin, you eat chicken thighs." ”

"Miss Remembrance, you eat." Guo Tongxin was embarrassed to occupy the chicken leg alone, and quickly pushed the chicken leg back.

"Miss Xiaoxin, give it to you, you will eat!" Jiang Yiling said with a smile: "Maybe you people who live in the city think that roast chicken is a rare thing, but for those of us who live at the foot of the mountain, we want to eat roast chicken every day." ”

"Oh, I see!" Guo Xiaoxin smiled and took the chicken leg, but she didn't eat it, but handed it to Canaan, who was sitting next to her. He turned his head to Jiang Yiling and said: "Then why don't you live in the city, there are many people in the city, and there are many business trips, so wouldn't your father's livelihood be better!" ”

Jiang Yiling shook his head, then ripped off a chicken leg and handed it to the pothos, "I don't know very well, anyway, my father just doesn't like to go to crowded places." He stuck out his tongue as he spoke, "He's just a little weird, but I'm used to it." ”

"That's it!" Guo Xiaoxin nodded, took a piece of chicken thigh meat torn off by the pothos, and ate it with relish. I was thinking that if I wanted to go and see that lame iron, but the other person's daughter didn't invite, it was not good to take the liberty of leaving. What's more, I don't have any weapons to process. Even if you want to go, you can't find a reason.

While she was thinking about how to find an excuse, Jiang Yiling spoke up.

"Miss Xiaoxin, why don't you come to my house and sit down. I grew up on the side of the mountain, and my father took me from this mountain to that mountain, and I have been living a life of no fixed place, so naturally I have no friends. Now that we know each other, why don't you come to my house and recognize the door, and if you have a chance to come to this mountain in the future, I will take you hunting? ”

Guo Tongxin saw that Jiang Yiling was sincere, and he just wanted to go to see the lame iron, so he happily agreed.

A few people ate a roast chicken, and then lay down next to the mountain spring and drank the sweet spring water for a while, and then went down the mountain with Jiang Yiling.

Jiang Yiling carried a bow and arrows on his back, and led a few people to walk the path, and soon reached the foot of the mountain.

From a distance, it is a courtyard made of wooden poles, there are two thatched houses in the courtyard, and a few feet away from the thatched houses, there is a dark-skinned and short-skinned middle-aged man who is striking the iron one by one, and the sound of "bang" is heard from a distance.

"The man who strikes the iron is my father."

As Jiang Yiling got closer, Guo Xiaoxin saw that Jiang Yi was wearing a handkerchief on his shoulder, wiping the beads of sweat on his face from time to time, and the fire in the iron furnace beside him was burning very strongly, and it seemed to glow with a faint green light.

Strangely, except for the thatched hut and the iron house, there is not a single grass or tree, nor the shadow of half a poultry, which is very clean and neat. It's not like a village yard.

"Daddy!" Jiang Yiling shouted and happily rushed into the courtyard, "Daddy, this is the friend I met when I was hunting in the mountains, they are all young ladies and young masters in the city. Then he pointed to a few people to introduce the lame Tie, "This girl's name is Guo Xiaoxin, and this young master's name is Canaan." He pointed to the pothos and said, "This is Miss Xiaoxin's maid called the pothos." ”

Lame Tie put down the red-hot iron in his hand, glanced at a few of them, smiled slightly, and said in a hoarse voice: "Yiling, then you can bring a few guests into the house for tea!" With that, he also walked over.

Sure enough, his right leg was lame. He walked with a limp, and his whole body looked uncoordinated.

Jiang Yiling greeted everyone warmly, Lame Tie stood in front of the basin outside the courtyard and washed his hands, and then entered the house with a plate of fresh fruits, "Our family Yiling is too lonely, since he was a child, he has no brothers and sisters, and he has no playmates, so when he sees a child of the same age, he has to pull someone to play at home." There is nothing to entertain you, but this is the fruit picked in the mountains, and if the girl does not dislike it, she will taste it. ”

"Thank you, Uncle Jiang." Guo Tong was not polite, and reached out to pick up a mountain pear, she has preferred sour food since she was a child. Every time I see sour food, I can't help but want to try it.

Canaan sat there without moving his hands, as if he didn't want to eat. After thanking her, Pothos took an apricot and chewed it slowly.

The lame man Tie smiled and said apologetically: "Countryman, there is no delicious hospitality." ”

Guo Xiaoxin sucked the saliva that came out of the acid, held the mountain pear and said, "Uncle Jiang, this is delicious." ”

"If the girl likes it, eat more." Cripple Tie stood up and said to Yiling, "Greet your friend well, Daddy go back and find something." With that, he limped out the back door.

It turned out that behind the thatched house, there was a small house similar to a storehouse.

It seems that only Jiang Yiling and the lame man live here, and there is no trace of the hostess in the entire courtyard. Presumably their father and daughter depend on each other!

"Miss Remembrance, did you make so many things yourself?" Pothos pointed to the hunting equipment hanging on the wall, her eyes full of surprise.

"That's not all." Jiang Yiling got up and said, "Take you to the next room to have a look, there is everything." ”

"Yes, yes!"

As a maid in the door of a mansion, Lu Luo can still be interested in these things that dance knives and sticks, which is really unexpected for Guo Tong. On the contrary, it is Canaan, a half-grown child, who is as quiet as a girl.

Guo Tongxin looked at Canaan and smiled slightly, and said in his heart: Okay, then you can be a quiet beautiful man!

Jiang Yiling walked in front with the pothos, followed by Guo Xiaoxin and Ganan. They all entered the next room one after another, Guo Xiaoxin just looked at the door, there were a few animal skins hanging on the wall, and a large number of hunting tools, it could be seen that each one was Jiang Yiling's treasure.

At this time, Jiang Yiling was proudly introducing the origin of this person's things.

The pothos listened with relish, but Guo Tongxin was not interested, but she was quite curious about the green glowing fire in the iron room just now. How can a fire be green?

She turned and walked towards the iron-striking room, and with every step she took felt the feeling of being scorching hotter than the sun, and for her, who had never been afraid of heat, she felt that the fire was burning in her face.

The blacksmith room is very simple, the surrounding walls are half a person high, in the middle of a large cylinder-like iron furnace is burning a raging fire, there are a few iron-striking utensils on the table next to it, and there is nothing else.

"Girl!"

Suddenly there was a shout of fear behind him.

"Stop, don't come any closer!"

Immediately after, there was another sound.

Guo Xiaoxin was startled by the frightened voice that suddenly came into her ears, and when she turned around, she saw Jiang Yiling and Lame Tie looking at her in disbelief.
