0056 The cottage of the elderly The temptation of sweet potatoes

Xing Zhen thought so, and felt more and more that Mr. Su knew the mountain bandits. Whether it's right or wrong, he shouldn't really judge and investigate. Mr. Su has been very kind to him and has done great good.

Xing Zhen regretted his stubbornness a little, so he thought about bowing deeply to apologize. Take two steps back slowly.

Suddenly, his feet were light, his body sank, and the whole person fell rapidly. Reach out and grab at will, empty and nothing else. Looking down, the tip of the knife was about to pierce the body.

All the young man did was to close his eyes and bear it, and out of sight was pure. As for various emotions such as regret and nostalgia, I don't have time to think about it at all.

The body is light again, and the expected chaotic knife clone did not appear. The body is also slowly rising.

You don't need to look to know that it must have been Mr. Su who saved him again. Xing Cheng said: "Thank you, Mr. Su, it was you who saved me again." ”

The latter did not mean to blame, and comforted: "Be careful. ”

Xing Zhen had already opened his eyes and found himself surrounded by Mr. Su with one hand. One foot away from the ground. At the foot is a circular deep pit with a radius of two feet, and the sharp edge of the knife at the bottom is faintly visible.

Xing Zhen, who had palpitations, couldn't help but wonder: "Why didn't Mr. Su take me directly to the destination." ”

The latter shook his head: "This is a taboo and must not be done." Flying in the air is equivalent to peeking into the whole picture of Shuibo Mountain, and it is equivalent to peeking at the secrets of more than 1,000 cottages in the mountains. When the secret is discovered, the cottage is on the verge of extinction."

"Therefore, these cottages have already reached a consensus, if anyone dares to fly in the sky in Shuibo Mountain, they will inevitably be killed by all the strong people in the mountain range. ”

Then Mr. Su added: "Unless there is enough strength to deter the crowd." With you by my side, I can't mess around. ”

Xing Zhen shrunk his neck stupidly: "Forget it." Actually, I don't really want to know the secrets of the bandits right now. I have figured out that Mr. Su has no ill will towards Xingzhen, only kindness. I shouldn't be ungrateful to doubt Mr. Sue. ”

The latter shook his head and objected: "It's not your fault, you can't think so thoughtfully." Moreover, the heart lake seed specifically induces negative emotions in the heart, and adults are still unable to control themselves. It's rare for you as a child to be able to hold on until now. ”

Xing Zhen: "But now my knot has been resolved. ”

Mr. Su said in one sentence: "You are untying the knot in my heart, and there is a knot of mountain bandits that has not been opened." Still unable to eradicate the Heart Lake Seed, this trip to the mountain bandits is imperative. ”

"Okay, it's all up to Mr. Su. Let's land and continue on our way. ”

"No, this should not be far from the destination. The trigger alerted them, and someone was going to pick us up soon. After arriving at the cottage, remember to follow the training arrangement, make yourself stronger as soon as possible, be able to adapt to this place where there is no legal system, and know how to survive in this place where human life is like a mustard. ”

"Okay, Xing Zhen listens to Mr. Arrangement. ”

Sure enough, in less than a stick of incense, a group of people came to greet them. At the head of the pack was a short old man who looked to be about sixty years old. Thin and weak, as if a cold wind could blow it over.

The old man and Mr. Su are also acquaintances, and there is no extra politeness after meeting. Directly take Mr. Su's bag, and the rest of the rest will take it separately.

The old man laughed: "Come on, bring any gifts." If it hurts the cottage, it will cost you a drink. ”

Mr. Su also showed no mercy: "Brother Pangda is affectionate, these gifts were bought by Lao Yu." ”

The old man, who is called Brother Pang, has a much thicker skin than his body. didn't mind Mr. Su's blow at all, and comforted himself: "It's the same, as long as there is a gift, it doesn't matter who gives it." The brothers in the village can celebrate the New Year early, which is worth rejoicing. ”

Someone leads the way, and the speed of travel is much faster. At least don't worry about touching the mechanism.

Along the way, Xingzhen couldn't figure it out. Aren't the mountain bandits in the book all big men, why did they come to greet these people, and the youngest is also forty years away? It's different from the book!

I thought it might be the old and weak who were in charge of the periphery sentry, and the sturdy ones were all in the cottage. But when he arrived at the cottage, he was really shocked. There are more than 200 bandits, large and small, with an average age of more than 40. Xing Zhenzhen was really speechless.

Not only is his age high, but his body is a lot of skin and bones, and he can't touch the shape of Biao at all. Xing Zhen almost mistakenly thought that he had come to a paradise where an elderly person was recuperating.

The people I saw were all men, and most of them were old. Naturally, there are no careful people with a sightseeing introduction to the criminal truth.

Old man Pang is not only not a peripheral person who is on the outskirts, but the highest power in the cottage. The cottage is more special, no one calls it big brother, but it calls Old Man Pang a thousand. This made Xing Zhen a little embarrassed.

The only two women in the cottage are cooking in the kitchen, and no one in the group of old men can take care of the true feelings.

Xing Zhen was even sent to the residence that had just been cleaned up to familiarize himself with the environment first. As a result, the two big men sent Xingzhen to the place and said a word.

"You're going to live here from now on. Then he left.

Alone in the room, Xing Zhen sighed: "The housing has been upgraded, and the thatched hut has become a wooden house. And there are charcoal pots in the house, and the grade is not low. ”

The wooden house is fairly clean, but there is not much space. A bed, a table by the wall, three benches. There are kettles and drinking glasses on the table.

The charcoal in the brazier in the center of the house was red, apparently prepared. It seems that these big men are thick and fine.

Teenagers are already self-reliant and do not need to be cared for. Since Mr. Su was promised to stay in the cottage, he had to get to know the cottage well, and this wooden house would be with him for a long time in the future.

I have nothing to do by myself, so I just take off my bag and tidy up my clothes. In fact, there are few clothes, and they are all shabby. It took a few moments to get it in order.

Shake the gourd on your waist, it's already empty. Then he walked over to the table and thought about pouring a glass of water to drink.

The heavy glass of water did not look like it was empty, but it only took a few drops and then it stopped. Xing Zhen opened the lid of the pot in curiosity, and it turned out that the water inside had frozen.

It seemed that the room had been unoccupied for a long time, and the brazier had just been raised. The teenager couldn't help but be enthusiastic about the cottage, and a little more recognized. It's just a little recognition, and the mustard in my heart still exists.

Dang, dang, there was a knock on the door.

Only Mr. Su knows the whole cottage, and if it is someone else, there is no need to ask who it is. Anyway, I didn't know if I asked. Xingzhen blurted out.

"Come in. “

The footsteps are soft, and there is still a slight thumping sound when stepped on the floor. Xing Zhen looked at it, and it was a teenage girl who came in, with a ponytail hanging high, swaying from side to side as she walked. It looks like it's about the same size as Shang Rocky.

The little girl was black and thin, with yellowish skin and a little malnourished. A pair of watery eyes look extremely cute.

Holding a bowl of roasted sweet potatoes in both hands, he walked quickly to Xing Zhen's side.

"Here you go, my mother is afraid that you will be hungry, so send some roasted sweet potatoes to satisfy your hunger first. ”

Xing Zhen took the porcelain bowl with a smile, put it on the table next to him, and asked with a smile: "Thank you, little sister, you are also a copycat?"

The little girl nodded vigorously: "Mmmmmmmmmm, I was born in a cottage."

Xing Zhen sighed secretly: "Such a young girl, born in a cottage, must be very lonely, and there are not many playmates." ”

Rejecting cottages is not the same as rejecting the ignorant little girl in front of you. Xing Zhen smiled and asked, "What's your name, are you lonely living in the cottage?"

The little girl with a ponytail who has lived in a cottage for a long time is not shy. Dafang shook his head, and his ponytail swayed from side to side, very smart.

"I'm not lonely, a lot of uncles and grandfathers will play with me, and there is also a brother who takes care of me. ”

"Oh, by the way, I call it Ask Things, and the uncles in the village like to call me things. Big brother can also call me something if he likes it. ”

Xing Zhen said "oh": "How old is the little thing this year?"

The little girl with a ponytail suddenly puffed out her cheeks in anger, "Call me something, don't call me a little thing." ”

Xing Zhen'er smiled: "Okay, good, the thing is the cutest." Cute little things. ”

Seeing the little girl with a ponytail breathing fire in her eyes, Xing Zhen immediately changed her words: "No, no, it's a cute thing." “

Xing Zhen realized the mistake and thought about it for a long time, not knowing how to change the words. In the end, he had to point to the porcelain bowl on the table with a wry smile and change the topic.

"Little sister is hungry, how about we eat together?"

The corner of the ponytail girl's eyes has never left the porcelain bowl, and the little face that is angry after hearing it suddenly smiles.

"Really?"

Xing Zhen smiled even more: "It was originally sent by you, so what's not to do." ”

As he spoke, Xing Zhen had already picked up a roasted sweet potato and peeled off the black crust on the outside, revealing the golden sweet potato heart inside.

Sent to the ponytail girl: "Here, eat." ”

The little guy confirmed again: "Can I really eat it?" ”

Xing Zhen pointed to the porcelain bowl on the table: "Isn't there anything else, let's eat together." ”

"Well, thank you, big brother. ”

"Slow down, don't burn. ”

"Big brother, you eat too, don't just watch me eat. Otherwise, my mother will be angry when she finds out. ”

"Okay, let's eat together. ”

While the two were eating, there was the sound of squeaky footsteps outside the house. When the sound approached, he hurriedly didn't have time to knock on the door, so he pushed the door directly.

Before anyone entered the house, the voice said: "What are you doing? It takes so long to send a sweet potato, Aunt Xi is afraid that you will run around, so she tells me to look for you everywhere." ”

Running in was a little boy, in his teens, probably about the same age as something. is also thin and weak, but there are some children with the spirit of tiger heads.

When I saw the little thing that was being swallowed heavily, I was immediately dumbfounded. Then he scolded loudly: "Isn't this what Aunt Xi gave to the new big brother? ”

The little girl with a ponytail patronized and ate, but she didn't react for a while.

Xing Zhen immediately explained: "I let the food eat, and I will explain it to Aunt Xi then." ”

The little boy wiped his saliva indiscriminately, and his eyes could not leave the porcelain bowl.

Xing Zhen interrupted the bitterness of the thing and asked, "Who is he?"

The latter said quickly: "He is the brother who just said." "

The little boy was a little more sensible and realized that he had lost. Introduce yourself: "My name is Cui Bushi, and I am ten years old. ”

Xing Zhen was curious: "No, how could it be called such a name." ”

Cui Bu explained: "I heard Mr. Accounts said that it is a divination and a servant of the waiter. It was also the bookkeeper who divined when I was born that I had the destiny to be a big official and a waiter. ”

Xing Zhen suddenly asked, "You also want to eat roasted sweet potatoes?"

This time, the little girl with a ponytail hurriedly replied: "Yes, yes, I heard from my mother that the sweet potato harvest was not good this year, so I didn't eat it a few times in winter." Eat some cabbage and potatoes. ”

Xing Zhen smiled and said, "Let's eat together." ”

Cui Bu is not Burmese either, and he picks a big one with numb hands and feet.

The bottom of his heart was muttering: "Isn't the cottage a big fish and meat every day? How can you eat cabbage and potatoes?" "

Looking at the two emaciated little guys again, they were immediately relieved.
