Hearing this voice, several villagers were slightly stunned, and even if they all showed a somewhat distressed look, even the faces of the young man who recruited the guests to lead the way away were instantly unhappy, and the passengers couldn't help but be a little curious about the owner of this voice, so they followed the sound and saw a young man walking quickly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The boy was born white and clean, with a delicate face, a thin and small figure, looking only twelve or thirteen years old, carrying a basket that was somewhat large compared to him, and the clothes on his body were very old at a glance, but they were very clean, giving people a very refreshing feeling.

But there was anger on his face that had nothing to do with the word "refreshing".

The young villager who led the way whispered a few words to the leading passenger, and the traveler looked back at the young man, nodded indifferently, and left with his partner with the young man, while the remaining villagers did not get the business themselves, but they were very tacit to meet the young man, and did not do anything, just slipped down the road and stopped the young man who wanted to catch up.

Seeing the figures of those travelers quickly disappear around the corner, the young man was so angry that his eyebrows were about to stand up, and he glared fiercely at the few villagers in front of him.

"Why do you always have to hinder Aunt Nian's business like this? It's easy to bully her to see her living alone, isn't it? What is wrong with Aunt Nian to you? Can't see her like this, okay?! ”

Several villagers looked at each other, and finally a kind-faced young man said to the young man: "Xiaorong, you have said that, we all grew up with Aunt Nian, and Aunt Nian helped a lot when we started several homestays before, we are grateful that she is too late, how can we not see her well?" You see, did we say anything bad about her when her business was booming before? Didn't you? ”

The young man known as "Xiao Rong" raised his head sharply and snorted disdainfully: "That's why you don't dare!" Now I see that Aunt Nian's business is not good, so I will seize the opportunity to fall into the well, right?! ”

The faces of several villagers were a little bad when they said this, and the young man who spoke couldn't help but sigh, and his expression was a little more anxious: "Xiaorong, it's not that we bullied her, it's just that this matter is really a bit of a big trouble, and if you are not careful, you will smash the reputation of our entire village!" When the time comes, the whole village will lose their jobs, and we can't do it if we don't interfere! ”

The young man said it well, but Xiao Rong didn't appreciate it, and said aggressively: "Don't fake here!" If you really care about the reputation of the village, then you should stop spreading these rumors! You are simply jealous of Aunt Nian's business and want to sabotage it! ”

"Xiao Rong, you ...... Alas! You're too young to understand these things......"

"Who needs to understand your dirty minds?!"

Looking at them viciously, Xiao Rong snorted disdainfully, and his expression was almost as if he had seen something dirty.

It would naturally not be a pleasant thing to be so despised by such a child who was much younger than themselves, but those villagers didn't know whether they couldn't do anything about him, or if they felt that it was boring to be so serious with a child, so they didn't get angry, but they still talked in a good voice, like refuting and trying to persuade Xiao Rong, but it was completely fruitless. Seeing this, they looked at each other helplessly, and no longer argued with Xiao Rong, sighed and shook their heads and dispersed, letting Xiao Rong angrily wave his fist at them behind their backs and scold them angrily.

Seeing that those people left silently, Xiao Rong had a feeling of victory, and his mood was finally a little better, and he couldn't help but let out a soft snort from his nose that he couldn't tell whether he was disdainful or proud, and then he turned around and pushed open the wrought iron gate of the rumored "haunted" B&B, trotted into the courtyard and came to the main entrance, raised his hand and knocked twice, then opened the main door and walked in.

Just like the impression from the outside, the interior layout of this B&B is very simple and exquisite, every corner is cleaned, you can see the owner's intentions here, but the counter in the entrance is empty, and the depth of the room is quiet, as if this is just an empty room.

But Xiao Rong knows that it's not that no one is there.

Running eagerly across the almost recognizable floor, Xiao Rong stopped in front of the first room in the corridor on the first floor, tapped his fingers lightly twice, and pushed the door open and walked in.

It was a very modest room, not very large, a single bed took up a third of the space, and the rest of the space was almost divided between a bookcase full of books, a bedside table made of logs, and a wooden chair.

An elderly woman was sitting on a clean single bed, looking sideways out of the window, the early winter sunlight fell on her body through the glass, making people look warm, and Xiao Rong couldn't help but smile happily.

"Aunt Nian, I'm here again!"

The brisk voice could not be heard at all in the ferocity of the previous dispute with the villagers, Xiao Rong obediently walked to the bedside, put the large basket he had been carrying on his shoulder on the slightly higher bedside table with some difficulty, and then took out the same thing in it to show her. It is full of tomatoes, potatoes and other vegetables, and it looks very fresh.

"Aunt Nian, look, these are big ones that I have seen, just picked from the ground, and it is best to eat them while they are fresh. It's almost time for dinner, shall I go get you some food? ”

Xiao Rong said happily, with a little pride in his eyes, but Aunt Nian ignored him completely, as if he didn't notice his existence at all, which made him feel a little deflated, and his voice was lowered, but he still raised a sensible smile, covered the sadness in his heart, and said to Aunt Nian: "By the way, the fish I brought yesterday is still in the water tank, right?" I'm going to cook fish soup for you, and after eating fish soup, Aunt Nian, your illness will definitely get better faster! ”

As he spoke, Xiao Rong put all the vegetables back in the basket, picked up the basket and was about to go out, but Aunt Nian, who had not looked at him, suddenly stopped him.

"Xiao Rong."

The voice was soft and faint, not alarmed, Xiao Rong paused, and immediately turned to look at Aunt Nian happily: "What's the matter, Aunt Nian?" ”

didn't turn her head to look at Xiao Rong in her eyes, Aunt Nian still looked out the window, and said lightly: "You should have heard the rumors here that I have here, right?" ”

As soon as he heard this, Xiao Rong immediately said indignantly: "Aunt Nian, don't care about them!" They are all people who are jealous of your prosperous business, and we are not afraid of shadows, so we don't care what rumors they spread! When you recover from your illness, you will be able to ...... business again in minutes."

"Xiao Rong." Gently interrupting Xiao Rong's words, Aunt Nian finally turned her head to look at him, her thin face was very flat, and she couldn't see any expression, "That's not a rumor, what they said is true, so for your own good, you won't come over in the future." ”

Hearing this, Xiaorong couldn't help but be stunned, a little unable to believe his ears, and reluctantly smiled: "Aunt Nian, what are you talking about?" How can such a thing be true......"

"True or not, it has nothing to do with you, right? We're not really related by blood, anyway. ”

The bland words made Xiao Rong's expression seem like he was about to cry for a moment, he immediately lowered his head, bit his lip, and then looked up and squeezed out a smile that was not much better than crying to Aunt Nian.

"That's right...... Yes. ”

The voice trembled slightly, but Xiao Rong couldn't care so much, put down the basket and turned around and ran away.

Seeing the thin back disappear, Aunt Nian, who had been expressionless, sighed softly, and took out a piece of rice paper from under the pillow, which was almost blank, with only a few words written in the upper right and lower left corners.

Will this method really make your wish come true?

Looking at the rice paper, she hesitated.

…… But what else can be done?

Taking a deep breath slowly, she finally made up her mind and picked up the lighter at the bedside. (To be continued.) )
