"My husband, he's a mountain guard in this area, and their family has been doing this for generations." The sister-in-law smiled and cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks on the table, "Don't move, I'll clean up, I'll clean up, I'll be a guest when I pass the door, where can I let you clean up." ”

"I'm sorry."

Although Chu Qiao still had a smile on his face, he felt like a thorn in his heart.

It is very likely that the mountain keeper who went to God to report to God was the husband of this sister-in-law, and the poor man had died on the mountain in vain, but his kind wife was still waiting for him to come back for dinner.

The sister-in-law smiled, "It's okay, although our family walks around in the mountains every day, they usually come back at night, and occasionally live on the mountain. ”

"How many mountain guards are there in this generation?"

"The mountain guards don't make money, there were two in the early years, and now he is the only one left, and everyone else has gone to work outside the mountain."

Hearing this, Chu Qiao lowered his eyes.

"By the way, you are travelers, have you ever seen our family when you were on the mountain just now? The one who carried a small bamboo basket on his back was not tall. ”

"I didn't ...... No......" She suddenly felt very depressed in her heart, as if she had pressed a boulder, and she couldn't breathe.

In fact, strictly speaking, the mountain keeper died because of them, and if it weren't for the fact that they suddenly came here, those men in black would not have chased after them, and it was impossible for them to kill the mountain keeper just to pretend to be him to trick the two of them into taking the bait.

Yi Qingchen took her hand into his palm and patted the back of her hand gently.

"Do you have a phone at home?"

"I don't have a phone, but I have a cell phone."

"Can you lend us it? We called our friends at the bottom of the mountain so they could pick them up. ”

"What's the problem, you wait, I'll go get it for you."

The sister-in-law got up and walked towards the back room.

After a while, he walked out with an old-fashioned Nokia phone.

"Give."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome, you sit down first, I'll go to the next door and ask, see if any of them have seen our family on the mountain today."

"Sister-in-law, thank you for your hospitality."

Chu Qiao saw Yi Qingchen making a call, and hurriedly said to the woman: "Our friend will come to pick us up in a while, so the two of us won't stay here at night." ”

"This is leaving?"

"Well, goodbye, thank you."

Chu Qiao took Yi Qingchen's arm and went out of the door, and reluctantly glanced back.

What will this poor woman do in the future?

"That's polite, I'll have time to play in the future!" The sister-in-law went into the back room again as she spoke, and after a while, she came out with two beautiful big apples, "Here, take them and eat them on the way." ”

It is estimated that it has been left for a long time, and the apples are a little dry, so it can be seen that it is a good thing in this poor place.

"Okay, I remember."

Suddenly choked up, she took the apple and waved at her again.

Along the way, Chu Qiao seemed extremely quiet, sometimes looking up at the bright moon in the sky, and sometimes sighing.

Since I realized with Chu Qiao, Yi Qingchen has never seen her look like this, and gently hugged her, "Don't think about it, life and death are fate, I called Xiao Jin just now, this place is at the junction of Kyoto, they can reach the foot of the mountain in about two hours, and we can save a lot of time by walking to the side of the road at the foot of the mountain now, I asked them to prepare more cash, which can be regarded as a guarantee for the sister-in-law's future life." ”

"Actually, I think that sister-in-law must love her husband very much."

She suddenly replied to the horse's mouth.

She really couldn't imagine how heartbreaking it would be for a woman who loved her husband so much to finally never wait for him to come back.

"Why do you feel that?"

"I can see it."

Such a poor family, a husband who has no future at all, I am afraid that it would have exploded long ago if he was another woman, but the sister-in-law has always followed her husband, cooking every day and waiting for him to come home, if there is no love, why do you insist on it for more than ten years?

"Well, maybe."

He didn't understand the love between civilians, but he knew that Chu Qiao was in a bad mood at this time, because of the mountain keeper who died in vain, of course he knew her thoughts, but he didn't say anything.

Indeed, if the two of them had left the mountain on the night of the fall, perhaps the mountain keeper would not have died.

Thinking of this, Yi Qingchen subconsciously touched his watch.

"Yi Qingchen, I feel a little uncomfortable."

She covered her heart and said softly.

In her arms, she was still holding the two big apples, I don't know why, looking at the two big apples, she felt that her heart was terrible, so sour that it was indescribable.

"What's wrong? Where is the discomfort? ”

He paused and squatted down again, "Come on, my husband carries you." ”

"Don't."

Chu Qiao walked around him and continued to walk forward.

She also carried a chocolate wrapper in her pocket, as well as three candy wrappers, and the two big apples in her arms, which were memories of her suffering and gifts.

In any case, these two days will be unforgettable.

The two of them hid as much as they could under the trees beside the road, and walked down the long mountain road.

By the time Xiao Jin arrived with someone, Chu Qiao had already snuggled up in Yi Qingchen's arms and fell asleep.

Xiao Jin had never seen such an embarrassed Yi Qingchen in his life, his shirt had been torn because of several shuttles in the bushes, before he tore the lining cloth to wipe his hands, and now a small piece hung out from under the hem of his clothes, and the soles of his shoes were full of mud.

This was something that Yi Qingchen would never have been allowed to happen in his previous life, and any speck of dust in the house was enough to make him frown.

But Rao is like this, but his face is still calm and relaxed, and the calmness between his eyebrows makes people suddenly have an illusion, as if what is behind him at this moment is not the deep mountain, but some lively party.

"Yi Dong, bear with me, let's go back to Kyoto directly."

"Hmm."

Yi Qingchen nodded, carried Chu Qiao into the car first, and then sat in by himself.

The black luxury convoy galloped down the endless road, rubbing against the wind and air with a loud whirring sound, and he stared closely at the sleeping little woman in his arms, still holding the two big dry apples in her arms, her eyes slightly red.

Chu Qiao turned around unconsciously, and the whole person was facing Yi Qingchen in his arms, and several colored candy wrappers fell silently from her pockets.

Yi Qingchen gently bent down and reached out to pick them up.
