Chapter Twenty-Nine: Planting Fate
The sea dragon stopped, he was now completely convinced that the man and woman in front of him were not ghosts, they must be living people, but he wondered how they could pass this desolate mountain road so late. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Who are you, don't be afraid to leave here so late." The sea dragon's tone was like that of a small adult, although he was not as big as the two in front of him.
"We came from Lang County and rode all the way to Long County, but the tire was punctured halfway, the plan was disrupted, it was not dark, there was no way at all, and there were no passing cars." The two dolls, who seemed to be young, seemed to have met a savior, and said to Hailong in an almost pleading tone.
"Oh, that's it, I said, you scared me, I thought I had run into a ghost, or I was robbed." The sea dragon deliberately teased them that despite the differences in language, the other party could still understand most of them.
"Help me, big brother, we really need help, or we'll be in the middle of nowhere tonight." The little girl also spoke, her voice was so sweet, it made Hailong think of Xiaojuan, and she suddenly had a good impression in her heart.
"Yes, help us, big brother, please." The boy chimed in.
"My family lives in Tangshan Village, not far from the front, if you don't dislike it, follow me to stay overnight, and tomorrow I will repair the tires for you before leaving." The sea dragon has already made up his mind to help with this.
"Thank you, thank you..."
Hailong was very embarrassed, now it seemed that he had to walk with them for a while, but fortunately, it was not far away, and after turning this corner, he could see the fork in Tangshan Village.
Talking along the way, I learned that these two dolls are from the provincial capital, they are both sophomores, the male is called Li Qi, and the female is called Han Yuqi, they are both two years older than themselves, and they are still competing to call themselves brothers, Hailong secretly had fun.
This summer they rode all the way and went to many places in the province, this time on the way back, they originally planned to rush to Long County to stay in the dark on the way, but there was an accident halfway, Han Yuqi's car suffered a puncture, and unfortunately the spare tire was also broken.
If they hadn't met the sea dragon, they wouldn't have known when they would have been able to walk to someone's home. Now the three of them are also companions along the way, and the sea dragon is also willing to help them.
"No, the yard with the lights on under the road ahead is my house." In a blink of an eye, they arrived at the entrance of the village, and Hailong pointed to the place where the lights were lit not far in front of him.
"Oh, I'm finally home, it feels warm."
Han Yuqi's mouth is really sweet, her personality is also cheerful and lively, and she is good at contacting people, in comparison, Li Qi seems to be a little silent, he seems to be not completely at ease with Tang Hailong, this young man who looks rustic is scheming, and he is also old and serious when he speaks, I hope God will help me, don't meet a black shop, and be sold as human flesh.
"Hailong, are you back" Tang Zhan heard the footsteps outside the door and the sound of the bicycle rustling, he knew that Hailong was back.
"It's back, big"
"Your brother went to Long County today to see your grandparents, Xiaojuan came over and made cold noodles for us, you can go to the kitchen to get them yourself." Grandma and grandfather love the two of them very much, Jin Long will go to school in the county seat in a few days, and he has no time to come back, so he hurried over to see the old man today.
"Okay, you don't care, I'll do it myself." Hailong answered, pointed to the place in the lower courtyard, and asked Han Yuqi and Li Qi to park the car, and there was a girl's voice, and he spoke standard Mandarin, so he rushed out.
"Big, this is Han Yuqi, this is Li Qi, they are all from the provincial capital, the car burst on the way, and they were left halfway, so they will spend the night at our house tonight." This Tang Struggle was still wondering, he heard that Hailong was not alone in the courtyard at the beginning, no, Hailong led two young people who looked like students to the upper room.
"Oh, that's it, please sit down, the sea dragon will pour water." Tang struggled enthusiastically to give up his seat, he was originally a simple and loyal person, and he was also willing to help strangers.
"Hello uncle, we have some trouble tonight, fortunately I met my brother Tang, and I came to your house for one night, so I will cause you trouble, I'm really sorry." Han Yuqi saw Tang Zhan who had no legs, and she felt shocked in her heart, and she had a new understanding of Tang Hailong she had just met from the bottom of her heart.
It's just that she calls Hailong brother, which makes Tang Zhan a little unconvinced of his eyesight, no matter how you look at them, they are all bigger than Hailong.
Hailong poured water for the two of them and took out the sugar cubes that were treasured at home, which he had brought back when he was working in the county seat before, and he had been reluctant to use it.
After a brief wash, Hailong had already brought two large plates of cold noodles from the kitchen, the noodles were strong, mixed with a layer of golden oil, and sprinkled with some rice noodles, which looked very tempting.
"Come on, just take a moment, the staple food of rural people is noodles, there are not many vegetables, let alone meat." Hailong had already eaten it while he was talking, two home-grown garlic heads, and a night of cold noodles made by Xiaojuan, which was the most fragrant delicacy in the world.
"I want to eat garlic too, hehe" Han Yuqi felt a little embarrassed after she said it, a girl who likes to eat garlic, she has eaten it with a very strong taste. But Han Yuqi really likes to eat garlic, so she is often counted down by Li Qi.
Hailong handed Han Yuqi a piece of garlic, and Li Qi was quite disgusted by this, Hailong shook his head secretly, what kind of score, if it weren't for me, you would stay on the mountain tonight.
Han Yuqi's amount of food is amazing, she quickly solved a plate of cold noodles with three times and five divided by two, and the garlic is strong farmhouse noodles, which is the most fragrant meal she has eaten in her life.
Li Qi is different, he is tall and thin, and at first glance he is the master who doesn't eat much, he felt very hungry at first, and thought that one plate was not enough, but in the end, he couldn't eat anymore, so he left a handful and looked at Han Yuqi embarrassedly.
"I'm also full, you won't leave this point, right," Han Yuqi pursed, shook his head, and looked at Li Qi.
Li Qi frowned and shook his head, it really can't be done.
"Forget it, if you can't finish eating, you can stay, and the family will solve it, it's okay." Tang Zhan saw that Li Qi couldn't finish eating, and looked very embarrassed, so he played a round.
After the meal, Han Yuqi helped Hailong send the bowl to the kitchen, helping him wash the pots and clean up the kitchen, the dim adobe kitchen, which was black with smoke, and the two pots were juxtaposed on a large pot table. On the board in the left corner, there are still some cold noodles.
At first glance, it is a poor life, simple to the extreme.
"How many of you guys are making so many cold noodles." Han Yuqi asked Hailong.
"This is made by Xiaojuan, maybe I'm afraid that I won't have anything to eat at noon tomorrow, and the two of you will eat tomorrow night." Sea Dragon didn't want to say too much.
"Oh, I'm really embarrassed, let's make a new one tomorrow night, how long has my uncle been sick, can't you take care of yourself now?"
"I was smashed when I was working at a county construction site last year, and I was a high paraplegic and basically couldn't take care of myself."
"Oh, it's really unfortunate, hey..."Han Yuqi fell into deep thought, as if she had infinite sympathy for Tang's struggle.
"And what about your mother, did you go to your grandmother's house with your brother?" Han Yuqi seems to have taken an interest in the family.
"My mother passed away, and less than two months later, she slept in the wheat field next door, which was the last big wheat field she bought for us before she died." Hailong's words shocked Han Yuqi, her heart was so shocked at that moment, she had thought about why this thin young man was always worried, but she didn't expect him to have such a tragic life experience.
"I'm sorry...", the two fell silent, and the air was sad.
