The Dead Empire, the thirty-fourth district, also known as the last district. It belongs to the northern Xinjiang region, which is small and sparsely populated, remote in location, and backward in development conditions.

In the dead of night, when the sound of insects was new and the green curtain was at midnight, two figures quietly descended from the sky and stepped lightly on the ground.

"Find out if there are any restaurants or residences nearby, otherwise we will have to sleep on the streets tonight."

Xiao Xia looked at the quiet surroundings, and there was no light on at all, and lowered his head and smiled bitterly at the girl in his arms.

After speaking, the two of them walked forward, they both came to the 34th district for the first time, which road leads, where to go, where to go, where to go, Xiao Xia doesn't know, Uei Jingxin doesn't know, it's completely blind. And the first instinctive reaction of this blind walk is naturally to move forward....

The poverty of the last district made the two of them a little unbelievable, there was no lighting such as energy lamps on the side of the road, and even a faint light could not be seen, it can be said that every household chose to turn off the lights, and the entire thirty-fourth district seemed to be truly integrated with the night.

In the end, the two of them walked around the entire 34th arrondissement in a quarter of an hour, and found three buildings that resembled restaurants, but when they saw the name of the restaurant, they were disappointed. One of the three is a tea house, which sells breakfast and is closed at night. One is a gambling house, the door of the store is closed, from the appearance of the environment is very embarrassing, tattered, I am afraid that it is open in this last area to earn the people diligently, in the end the hard-earned money saved. As for the last one, it is indeed a restaurant, but the owner is not in the store, and it is also the kind of restaurant that is not open at night.

The two of them think about it, in a place like this, how can a farmer who is reluctant to even light an oil lamp at night and rest on time is willing to sleep at night and squander his money?

In desperation, the two had to choose a random family, and Uei Jingxin knocked on the door, while Xiao Xia took off his pure black robe, revealing the handsome appearance of a young man, although this may not be useful, but it is better than being mistaken for a bad person in a black robe.....

"Buckle ~ Buckle ~!"

Umii Jingxin tried her best to pose as an elegant girl, with a ladylike attitude, and knocked on the wooden door politely and gently.

"Is anyone home, please?"

"Who! Don't let people sleep at night? Really! ”

There was a loud shout from inside the wooden door, low and muffled, sounding like an old lady.

Uei stood outside the door with a smile, and when she heard the dissatisfaction expressed in the owner's words, she couldn't help blushing and brushing her hair in embarrassment.

Although the owner of the house was a little dissatisfied with being disturbed from his dream, the wooden door slowly opened with a crisp "squeak~" sound.

As expected, the person who came was a wrinkled, age-spotted, gray-haired, slightly messy old lady of seventy or eighty, standing at the threshold with a cane in one hand and an oil lamp in the other.

"Old man, we want to spend the night with you, I wonder if it's convenient?"

Umii Jingxin bowed first, and after the politeness was in place, the corners of her mouth curved a sweet arc, and she asked with a friendly smile.

"Sorry to disturb your old man."

Xiao Xia also walked quickly in front of him, bowed slightly and said with a smile.

The old lady didn't give an answer immediately, and after carefully looking the two of them up and down for a while, she said, "That, okay!" Anyway, my old woman is also a lonely person, and half of her body is in the ground, even if you are robbers, you can't take advantage of my old woman. ”

As she spoke, the old lady couldn't help but smile, and because of the wrinkles in her face, she looked a little hideous for a while.

"That's great."

When Uii Jingxin got the answer, she couldn't help but smile happily like a child who had gotten her favorite toy.

"Come in, kid!"

The old lady smiled peacefully, beckoned the two of them into the room, and then closed the wooden door again.

"You sit down first, old woman, I'll go get something to greet you."

Without waiting for them to say anything, the old lady picked up the oil lamp and went to the kitchen, leaving them to sit in the rickety old chairs.

I don't know if it's because the night is too quiet, or the room is too claustrophobic, the two can actually hear each other's regular heartbeats and subtle breathing, which makes the atmosphere embarrassing for the two casual girls and teenagers.

"Are you hungry?" The old lady smiled kindly, dragged a small pot of fragrant lumps and placed it in front of the two of them, a trace of pain flashed on her face, but it was quickly concealed: "Old woman, I don't have anything good to entertain you here, this yellow sweet potato will fill your stomach, don't dislike it." ”

"No, no, no......"

Uii Jingxin hurriedly waved her hand, a little embarrassed and said, "Actually, old woman, you don't have to take care of us like this, we just need to stay here for one night." ”

"Look at your face, you are in the mood for flowers, when you are growing your body, how can you do without eating? Even after dinner, it's okay to eat a little more. ”

Hearing this, the old lady's face suddenly became serious, and she said solemnly.

"You eat slowly, old woman, I'll help you clean up the kang bed."

After speaking, the old lady picked up the oil lamp and walked to the rectangular kang bed placed in the corner of the wall. Make the mattress and put the pillow carefully......

"Alas~"

Looking at the busy back of the old lady, while the two of them smiled bitterly, they were also full of emotion in their hearts.

Obviously they don't know each other, but they are like wanderers who have returned from home for many years, and the brilliance of mother's love is very great at this moment, is this the basic simple nature of human beings? The two of them couldn't tell, at least not now.

"Do you have any money with you?"

Xiao Xia picked up a piece of sweet potato and bit it, and looked at Uei Jingxin thoughtfully.

"Huh? Bring, brought. ”

Shangjing Jingxin gently twisted the smallest sweet potato and sent it into a small bite, before she could swallow it, she heard Xiao Xia's words, and was a little confused, and then nodded instinctively.

"That's fine."

Xiao Xia smiled and didn't say anything more. He continued to pick up a piece of sweet potato again, and in the girl's puzzled gaze, she tasted the soft taste and sweet taste of the sweet potato.

"After you finish eating, you can rest, old woman, I am old after all, and my body is unbearable, so I will sleep first."

The old lady was busy for about three or four minutes, turned around and said something to the two of them, and then went to the other bed with the oil lamp and fell asleep on her side.

For a moment, the two of them stood on the side of the kang bed, motionless, as if they were very embarrassed.

"There was only one bed and we ..... How to sleep? ”

Xiao Xia touched the tip of his nose quietly, and his voice trembled faintly.

Uei Jingxin's little face turned red, covered half of it, and didn't dare to answer.

"Or? I'm meditating and cultivating tonight, and you're sleeping in bed? ”

Xiao Xia whispered tentatively.

"Oops! Wouldn't it be nice to sleep together! But keep your voices quiet....."

At this time, the old lady's voice suddenly came, and the two of them shook their bodies at the same time, and they were even more stunned.....

My mind was full of the old lady's words, and my voice should be quieter...... Be smaller..... Small dots....... Dot.......
