Chapter 39: Enthusiastic Villagers
In the evening again, before the sun set at the foot of the mountain, Wu Liang, who was hungry with his chest against his back, finally saw the lights in front of them, and woke up Xia Ying on his back and the glass in his hand and told them to hurry up to the village and wake up.
The village is not big, but it is very tidy, every house is hung with iconic small lanterns in front of the door, Wu Liang and a few people arrived by the children playing outside the village to find out, just when Wu Liang wanted to ask these children where this is, a few children playing ran into the village.
Wu Liang smiled helplessly and continued to walk towards the village, let's find an adult to communicate first, as soon as he entered the village, Wu Liang saw an old man in front of him walking with a crutch, wearing this coat and walking out, looking at Wu Liang and a few people in tattered clothes, and then anxiously said to a few people; "Oops... What's the matter, quick, quick, come to me first" The enthusiastic and simple old man with a wrinkled face led Wu Liang and the others to a courtyard not far from the village.
Wu Liang thanked the old man in front of him, and then entered the courtyard that the old man pointed to, the yard is not big, but it is very tidy, the house is lit, it seems that there are other people living in this courtyard, just when Wu Liang was about to open his mouth to ask where this is, the old man's voice shouted to the house; "Wife... Wife... Hurry up and get out, there's someone at home."
As soon as the old man's voice fell into the house, he responded, "Coming, coming", and then under the illumination of the lights in the house, a figure opened the door, Wu Liang fixed his eyes, and a grandmother who was not tall greeted her with a kind face, and saw Wu Liang and a few people worried for a while, "How did you get this, come in, you're hungry, I'll cook for you" and then pulled Wu Liang and a few people into the house.
Wu Liang is not too surprised by the enthusiasm and help of the two people, the intrigue in these remote mountain villages and the cities far away, the villagers with simple hearts just want to help and have no purpose.
Under the enthusiasm of the two old people, Wu Liang and Xia Ying and Liuli simply washed up, sat on the wooden dining table and chatted, the grandmother who went to the kitchen quickly cooked three bowls of noodles and brought them to a few people, "Eat, eat while it's hot, our family is not rich, there are some noodles left, if you don't dislike it, you will be fine," the old woman wiped her hands with the apron on her body, sat with the old man, looked at Wu Liang and the others, and said.
"Thank you, grandparents," the hungry Xia Ying picked up the chopsticks and ate them after thanking her, without a lady's demeanor at all, compared to Xia Ying, who had spent thousands of years in Huangquan, Liuli did quietly look at the noodles in the bowl in front of her and said nothing.
Wu Liang Yuguang noticed that Liuli's actually poked his head over, and asked quietly; "Why don't you eat it?" But the subsequent sentence made Wu Liang extremely embarrassed, Liuli looked at Wu Liang in front of him and said coldly; "I've never eaten in thousands of years and don't know how"
Wu Liang's brain twitched, and he froze in place without saying a word, "......"
Wu Liang, who didn't know what to do, was taken over by the old man's words; "What's wrong with the little girl, isn't it the right appetite, if you don't want to eat, I'm going to get something else" said the old man about to get up and go out to find something else for Liuli to eat.
Wu Liang was taken aback when he saw this, hurriedly stood up, helped the old man to the stool, and said quickly, "Old man, old man, no, don't bother, the little girl doesn't want to eat, but she doesn't know how to use chopsticks, I'll just come."
Hearing Wu Liang's explanation, the old man laughed: "Oops... The people in the city now, they can't be so used to children, this is a bad habit when they grow up in the future, and this chopsticks are handed down by our ancestors and can't be forgotten."
Wu Liang hurriedly said yes, turned his head and picked up the noodles in front of Liuli, picked up the chopsticks, and put them in Liuli's mouth, Liuli glanced at the so-called noodles and gradually opened his small mouth and ate them.
Liuli, who hadn't eaten for thousands of years, was stunned by the taste in his mouth, quickly swallowed the food in his mouth and continued to wait for the arrival of the next bite, who knew that Liuli waited for a long time and didn't wait for the arrival of the second bite, and looked at Wu Liang anxiously, this time Liuli frowned, Wu Liang on the side was eating his bowl of noodles quickly, and he didn't care if he dared to feed himself!
The anxious Liuli didn't care about the problem of losing face, jumped off the bench and got into Wu Liang's arms, sat on Wu Liang's lap, looked at the noodles on the table with his eyes, Wu Liang, who was eating the noodles in the bowl, was startled by Liuli's sudden move, looked at the glass on his lap and then looked at the bowl on the table, Wu Liang sighed, stopped the action in his hand, picked up the bowl of Liuli and fed it.
The two old men on the opposite side laughed quietly when they saw this scene, since the two sons went out to work, the family has never been so lively.
There are no special activities in the village at night, everyone sleeps very early, after Wu Liang and the three of them have eaten, it is already more than eight o'clock in the evening, the old lady took some of the clothes she washed and handed them to Xia Ying and Liuli to change into, and the old man also took some of his own clothes and picked them out and sent them to Wu Liang, and under the gratitude of several people, Xia Ying borrowed the only phone at home to call her parents and explained her situation, and immediately said Come over as soon as possible, Xia Ying, who hung up the phone, sighed, picked up Liuli in the room arranged by the old man and fell asleep.
Since the appearance of the glass doll, Xiao Hei's status has obviously begun to decrease, and now Xiao Hei can only act as a pillow in front of Xia Ying, and the glass who was hugged by Xia Ying is not annoyed or troubled, and always maintains a cold expression, just like a real doll, she has no curiosity about this world, except for the bowl of noodles that she ate for the first time in her life just now.
Wu Liang changed the clothes given by the old man to his body, not to mention that wearing the old man's half-cut sleeves plus loose pants and a pair of cloth shoes that are not new or old is really a bit of a peasant's taste.
The old man looked at Wu Liang, who had changed into clothes, and said happily; "Don't say it, it's kind of interesting, it's really like that"
Wu Liang smiled: "When I can't get along in the city, I'll come to you to farm for you."
The old man said happily; "Hahaha, welcome, welcome at any time, although we have known each other for a short time, but our old couple knows that you are kind people, and we will come to see it when we have the opportunity in the future, so we should be distracted"
The old man and Wu Liang talked about some things in the city and some things in the village, and before he knew it, it was getting late, and the old man gradually became sleepy, Wu Liang saw this and helped the old man back to the house, said good night and walked to the side room.
Originally, the side house was for the two sons who went out to work, but the grandmother, who thought that Wu Liang and Xia Ying were a family, cleaned up this room and let Wu Liang and Xia Ying live in.
Wu Liang, who returned to the side room, looked at Xia Ying who was holding the glass and was a little embarrassed, a place on the kang was so big, Wu Liang looked around, and there was no stool for him to sit on, thinking of this, Wu Liang turned around and opened the door, wanting to spend the night in the courtyard.
Before Wu Liang could go out, Xia Yingnuo's voice came from the kang, "Squeeze it, I'll be scared if you go" Hearing Xia Ying's voice, Wu Liang didn't stop going out, "Don't worry, I'm outside, it's going to be fine" After speaking, he walked out.
Listening to Xia Ying, who was a little disappointed when the door was closed, a cold voice came from under her, "Do you like him?" Liuli poked her head out and looked at Xia Ying and said seriously, Xia Ying looked at Liuli with a little surprise and asked; Why do you ask? Liuli looked at Xia Ying carefully for a while, then pushed Xia Ying away and said; Because I like him too."
"Boom..."Xia Ying's whole body froze
