Volume 1 The Endless Wilderness Section 112 Lovely
After Aliya left, Chen Xing returned to a peaceful life. Every day, I see, study, and study checkers, and after lunch, I wander around the base to see the lives of the homeless people, and enjoy the respectful gaze and humble greetings.
Maybe in the next few years, he will live like this, as the captain of Orchid Town, and gradually develop his own territory. Maybe he can also persuade Ye Yang Bailiu to marry him, have two more children in a few years, and live a happy life from now on.
In the first two lives, he has been on the move, either from the countryside to the city, or an endless mercenary career, never stopped. To say not to be tired, it is impossible.
Thinking like this, the fighting spirit began to be depressed again. Time passed day by day, and in a blink of an eye, it was the day before the harvest festival. At noon, Chen Xing took Yeyang Bailiu, Aaron, Hook, Radish, Xiao Yang and others, dragged a small cart full of red berries and sent them over one by one.
The Harvest Festival is the most solemn traditional festival in the Red Continent, which is equivalent to the "Holy Light Festival" in the West Continent and the "February Festival" in the East Continent, both of which indicate that the old year has passed and the new year is coming.
Chen Xing used the Huairou policy, so he naturally wanted to visit the people and express greetings on the occasion of the festival.
Each household will receive a few red berries according to their number of people. This fruit is bright in color, thin in skin and watery, and it tastes sweet and delicious. For a while, the camp was full of activity, and all adults and children ran out of the tents, with cheerful smiles on their faces, full of festive atmosphere.
"Don't worry, everyone has it, everyone has it!" Radish stood beside the cart, leaning at the waist and shouting loudly to keep the homeless from overcrowding.
"He's bigger than mine!" A dirty homeless boy ran up to him, holding up a bite of a red berry and pointing at another child, with tears on his face.
"You're older than him, so naturally you're younger." Radish said confidently, and the boy had no choice but to leave dejectedly. But after a while, when another child asked the same question, the turnip replied, "You are younger than him, so naturally you eat smaller." ”
Half an hour later, a cart of red berries was distributed, and the crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed. In the end, only a little girl of five or six years old remained, standing in the corner, staring blankly at the empty car. She was wearing a dirty little padded jacket, two pigtails tied with cheap leather bands, and her eyes were large and watery. If it weren't for the fact that her face was covered with mud, she must be a cute little girl. Seeing that Radish was about to push the cart away, her expression became a little flustered, she hesitated, and ran over awkwardly.
"Uncle, uncle......" said the little girl to the turnip, stretching out her little hand that was blue from the cold, "I, I haven't ...... yet"
"Huh?" Radish was stunned for a moment, and then put on a look of a lesson, "Then why didn't you come and get it just now?" Then he waved his hand, "Not now, go back, go back." ”
"Uncle, I, I can't get in......," the little girl said timidly.
"That's no way, you see, the fruit is all divided, go back, go back." With that, Radish grabbed the handlebars and pushed the cart away.
The little girl chased after her, tears flashing in her eyes, and begged, "Uncle, I only need one, and the little one is enough......"
"This ......," Radish said, looking embarrassed.
At this time, Ye Yang Bailiu, who was talking to Chen Xing on the side, saw it, and walked over and stuffed his red berries to the little girl, "Be good, take it and eat it~" She touched the little girl's head and said softly.
The little girl didn't eat it, but held it in her arms, like a beloved treasure.
"Why don't you eat it?" Ye Yang Bailiu asked with concern. She was worried that such a young child would be snatched away by other children when she stepped out of sight.
The little girl shook her head and said, "I'm going to take it back and give it to Grandpa." ”
"Really good~" Ye Yang Bailiu praised with a smile. Although this girl is not very old, she is very sensible, unlike other children, who stuff it into their mouths when they get their hands.
"Grandpa is sick, eat the fruit and get better." The little girl said. As she spoke, her face was filled with happiness, as if she had really seen her grandfather eat the fruit and be healed.
Looking at the innocent appearance of the little girl, Ye Yang Bailiu felt a pang in his heart and glanced at Chen Xing. Chen Xing was next to him, and when he heard their conversation, he immediately waved his hand and said, "Let's go, go and have a look." ”
Ye Yang Bailiu smiled at him, took the little girl's hand, and asked, "Where do you live?" ”
"There." The little girl pointed in one direction.
It didn't take long for Chen Xing and the others to follow the little girl to a dilapidated small tent.
"Grandpa, grandpa!" The little girl took the fruit in her hand and went into the tent, and then came a cheerful voice, "Grandpa, that beautiful big sister, and, that majestic uncle, have come to see you." ”
"Huh?" A hoarse, slightly startled voice came from inside, and soon the tent cloth was lifted, and an old man with gray hair came out, his body trembled, his movements slow, and he said with a little panic, "Ah, yes, it's the lord, miss, this, this is, this is the ......" He was a little incoherent, and couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time. He never thought that the lord would come over in person.
"Grandpa, they are all good people, and they gave me fruit, so big and sweet." The little girl raised the red berries with both hands and gave them to the old man, "Grandpa, you eat, you eat......"
"Good boy, grandpa doesn't like to eat cold, you eat." The old man touched the little girl's head and said kindly.
"No, you eat, it's good to eat the disease, and if you get well, you can take Neng Lingling to dig potatoes." The little girl said anxiously, standing on tiptoe to stuff the fruit into the old man's mouth.
Looking at this scene, everyone's eyes were red. Chen Xing turned to the radish and said, "Go get a basket!" ”
"Okay." Radish didn't say a word, and pushed the cart away.
Then, Chen Xing said to Hook, "Go find a doctor, treat this old man, and record the expenses in the public account." ”
"Yes!" Hookley was saluting, then trotting to find the doctor at the water station.
"Thank you, thank you, sir, thank you, miss." The old man thanked him repeatedly, then pulled the little girl over, pressed her little head and said, "Quick, kowtow to the lord." ”
Without waiting for Chen Xing to open his mouth to stop it, the little girl had already "poofed", fell on the snow, and kowtowed to Chen Xing, "Thank you, master." Then he kowtowed to Ye Yang Bailiu, "Thank you, big sister." ”
"Okay, okay, even if you give me a New Year's greeting." Chen Xing picked up the little girl, and then stuffed a gold coin into her little hand that was blue from the cold, "This is the custom of Li is money, our hometown." ”
"Master, Miss, you are really too merciful, our grandfather and grandson will pray for you every day in the future, and beg the green lantern god to bless you, live a long life, and be safe...... "The old man said while wiping his eyes, his face was already full of tears. The people outside didn't treat them as human beings at all, but this lord was so kind to them, which really touched him.
"Okay, okay, have a good year." Chen Xing patted the old man's shoulder and turned to leave. Looking at the grandfather and grandson, he remembered the fathers and villagers in his hometown, who were also so kind and simple, and couldn't help but feel sad and full of emotions. He didn't want to stay here because he didn't want others to see the tears in the corners of his eyes.
"I didn't expect you to have an emotional side." Ye Yang Bailiu caught up, took his hand, and said with a smile.
"Go and ......," Chen Xing said angrily.
"Well, you ...... today" Ye Yang Bailiu couldn't hold back a smile and gave a thumbs up and said, "It's cute." ”
Chen Xing's face suddenly turned red, shook off her hand, and walked straight forward. Ye Yang Bailiu followed step by step, pursed his lips and smiled, but did not speak. She suddenly discovered today that this bad guy also has a heart-warming side.
