"It turned out to be a foreigner. The girl blinked, curiosity in her eyes. She looked at the shoes under Mochen's feet, and immediately smiled, "I said that you are indeed a dusty look, and you don't even have to change your shoes." ”

Mo Chen looked down and suddenly looked at it, it turned out that he had been concentrating on the road, wading through countless muddy paths along the way, and over time he had become accustomed to the feeling of muddy feet, and he didn't even notice a hole in the gap of his left shoe.

"Let the girl laugh. Mochen scratched his head, put down the package behind his back, reached out and fumbled for a while, and then took out a new pair of shoes from the package.

The shoes were actually taken out of the Qiankun bag, but Mochen didn't want to expose the existence of the Qiankun bag, so he prepared a package in advance to hide people's eyes.

The new shoes and the shoes on his feet were all ordered by the best shoemaker when he was from Dihai City, not only the style is novel, but the materials are also high-quality, but no matter how good the shoes are, they can't withstand his spoil, and along the way, after all, a bad pair is broken.

The girl's eyes lit up when she saw the new shoes that Mochen took out of the package, as if she had seen a new continent. "Such beautiful shoes. The girl let out a small exclamation, and then covered her mouth, her cheeks flushed a little, and her face was a little embarrassed.

Mochen changed the shoes and threw the old shoes that were broken into the weeds on the side, the girl immediately trotted over, squatted down and picked them up, she slapped the two shoes a few times, and then the upper of the shoe fell to the ground in mud, and the upper that had been covered with mud returned to its original good-looking appearance.

"Such good shoes, you said you would throw them away?" the girl asked, standing up and frowning.

"It's broken. ”

"It's just such a small hole, and if you make it up a little bit, it's like a new one, how can you throw it away. The girl held her shoes in one hand and pinched her waist with the other, as if Mochen had done something bad.

"This is my shoe, even if it's not broken, I can throw it away if I want to, what's your business. Mo Chen's tone was no longer so polite, and the girl's groundless accusation made him a little uncomfortable.

"You ......" The girl was pushed by Mo Chen, and wanted to refute but had nothing to say. She stood in place, her eyes a little red, although she felt wronged, she was so stubborn that she held back the tears in her eyes.

"Well, forget it, you'll be given what you want. Mo Chen shook his head and said no more, because when he refuted the girl, he also saw the little white shoes on the girl's feet.

The girl's soles have been worn very thin, and they look like they have not been changed for a long time, and the upper is re-wrapped with a white cloth, as if the original upper has been completely broken, and can only be covered with a whole white cloth.

Seeing these shoes, Mo Chen understood the girl's mood, and indeed compared to her, the shoes he lost seemed to be Pan An in the shoes.

Hearing Mo Chen's words, the girl's eyes widened, "Really, such good shoes, you are really ......"

Mo Chen hurriedly stretched out his hand and made a pause gesture, signaling the girl to stop talking, "I'll give it to you if I said it's you, if I didn't bring two pairs of shoes, I'll give you a new pair." ”

"No, no, this pair is already very good! wash and mend it, change the size and size of the new shoes. The girl hurriedly spoke, her face changed from her previous grievances, and she was happy at the moment. After saying that, she took out a thin straw rope, tied her shoes and held them in her hands.

Seeing the girl's face full of joy, Mo Chen smiled, in the world of deceit, the girl in front of her is rare and simple, compared to some guys who are not happy and angry, this kind of person is very easy to get along with.

After the girl tied her shoes, her eyes rolled, and she said with a smile, "I can't take your things for nothing, so let's do it, since you are a foreigner, then there must be no place to rest tonight, in that case, it is better to stay at my house." ”

Mo Chen asked curiously, "Isn't there an inn in the village?"

The girl shook her head and said, "Our Chuyang Village can be said to be isolated from the world, and few people usually come here, where will there be an inn." ”

Mo Chen nodded, it was indeed the same as his guess, this place was very remote, the village was small, and he didn't even notice this place during the day, if it wasn't for the little light in the night that he saw, I'm afraid he would have skipped this place directly.

"By the way, my name is cloves, white cloves, fragrant cloves, people in the village call me little cloves, what about you?"

"My name is Ink Dust. ”

"Ink Dust...... Is it the Mo Fei? The girl blinked, curious.

"It's black ink. ”

"Wow, that's rare, we don't have a surname Mo in our village. ”

"Who is in your house, and will it be a little abrupt for me to go so late?" Mochen tried to change the subject, not wanting to dwell on such a boring issue.

"No, only my mother is at home now, and there happens to be extra room, if you go to someone to borrow at this time, few are willing, just when I return the gift to you, you can come with me." Lilac smiled and took Mochen's hand, and there was a hint of coquettishness between her words.

Mo Chen smiled and gently withdrew his hand, although Lilac was a little arrogant, but after all, she was still a girl, swaggering and holding hands with a strange man in this kind of rural place, and there would be some gossip when she was seen by others, she didn't care, but it was not a good thing for Lilac.

Lilac didn't pay attention to Mochen's small movements, just smiled and let Mochen follow her, and then jumped up and down to lead the way, looking in a good mood along the way.

The two of them walked a few steps one after the other, and Mo Chen stopped her.

"These shoes are dirty, so don't hold them in your hands. Mo Chen stretched out his hand and threw out a piece of cloth, motioning for the girl to wrap up her shoes, after all, she had just taken them off, and seeing her just hold them in her hand made Mo Chen look a little awkward.

"Hmm. Lilac took the cloth in response, carefully wrapped the shoes and carried them in her hand, and then continued to lead the way.

Along the way, several villagers passed by to greet Lilac, and then stared at Mochen with a look of vigilance and curiosity, obviously these villagers were somewhat wary of this stranger who suddenly came to the village. Mo Chen ignored the gaze of these people, for him he was just passing by to stay here for a night, and he would leave early tomorrow morning.

Not long after walking, Little Lilac stopped at the door of a small farmhouse yard, turned to Mo Chenshu and said, "Here it is." Then she turned and knocked on the old wooden door, and then shouted into the courtyard, "Mother, I'm back." ”

After a while, there was a slow footstep sound from inside the door, and then a hoarse old woman's voice came from inside the door, "Lilac, how many times have I told you, don't go out at night, don't go out, you just don't listen, what time is this, if I come back later, I will go out to find you." ”

As he was talking, the door creaked open, and an old lady with white hair went out on crutches, and was stunned when she saw Mochen.

"Oh, mother, I know it's wrong. Lilac stepped forward and grabbed the old woman's hand, and quickly apologized with a smile.

"Lilac, who is this?" asked the old woman with a gesture of ink dust with her cane.

"Mother, he is a stranger, and he happened to pass by our village and wanted to find a place to spend the night. He gave me a nice pair of shoes, so I thought I'd take him to our house for a night. Lilac explained, then shook the package in her hand.

"It's not a gift, it's just a useless thing, and I'm here tonight, so I'm naturally thankful. As he spoke, Mo Chen casually took out a gold ingot, which was dozens of taels.

"Brother Mo, what are you talking about, you gave me such a good gift, you should let you stay for one night, I will be angry if you take something else. Lilac stomped her foot and said, as if Mochen was insulting her by begging for money.

"Lilac, don't be rude. The old woman reprimanded the girl, and then said, "Since Lilac has promised you, then come in, and the old man will go and clean up the room for you." ”

With that, she turned and went into the courtyard.

"Brother Mo, come in. Lilac beckoned and hopped into the courtyard, followed by Mochen entering the door.

Entering the courtyard, Mo Chen was surprised to find that the appearance of the courtyard was beyond his expectations, because there were dozens of low flower trees planted in the courtyard that was only 100 square meters, and at this moment the trees were already full of red gorgeous petals, and with the breeze blowing through the treetops, the branches and leaves shook with ripples.

"What's wrong, Brother Mo. Lilac watched Mo Chen's stay still after entering the door, and asked.

"What kind of trees are these?" Mo Chen asked curiously, he originally thought that after entering the door, it should be just an ordinary farmhouse courtyard, but he didn't expect that there was another world inside this small wooden door.

"Oh these, I heard my mother say that these trees are called happy trees, it seems that my mother planted them a long time ago, so they are beautiful. Lilac explained to Mochen with a smile.

"It's pretty good. Ink Dust nodded.

"My mother's name is Xi Niang, so she calls these trees Xi Shu, because this tree is beautiful, and now every family in the village has planted a few seeds, all of which are taken from my family. There was a little pride in Lilac's words, and it was clear that she liked the trees very much.

It turned out that this old woman's name was Xi Niang...... Mo Chen smiled slightly, this is a festive name, which matches the bright flowers and trees in this courtyard.

"Baby, you can stay here tonight. Just as the two were talking, Xi Niang stood at the door of the guest room with an oil lamp to Mo Chen, and then she turned around and pushed the door open into the house, lit the oil lamp in her hand and put it on the table in the house, and the road light suddenly illuminated the whole room.

Mo Chen entered the house and saw that Xi Niang was hunched over her back cleaning the house, so he hurriedly said, "You don't need to clean it so carefully, I'll only stay for one night." ”

Xi Niang bowed her body and said while sweeping: "It's better to be clean, if there are dirty things, it will be somewhat unsightly." ”

Huh? Mo Chen frowned, he could hear that Xi Niang seemed to have something to say.
