Chapter 117: Something Happens to the Little Old Village Chief and His Wife
Qixi looked in the direction where the old lady was walking, as if she was listening carefully, but people had forgotten about the house, could you hear anything thanks?
"So what do we do now?"
I can't help this situation at present, that old woman really seems to be hiding something from us, but people don't want to say, what can we do with others?
"I don't know if there is an inn here, we can't go back today!"
Aunt Wang frowned, she covered her stomach, as if she was too hungry to die.
"What do you say?"
I looked at Qixi to see if he had any other way, I didn't want to sleep on the street like in the TV series, build a fire in the coconut grove in the middle of the countryside and spend the night.
"Obey Gege's arrangement!"
I'll go, what else can I say? Qixi, this guy is sometimes really hateful, just now he was very thoughtful, very rational analysis of every detail, but at this time he didn't pay attention, I really want to someone.
"What do we two women have to pay attention to? Say it quickly! ”
In the end, I couldn't, and I came up with this trick.
A killer is a killer feature, and sure enough, after hearing my words, Qixi nodded, no longer saying that it was all arranged by Gege.
In fact, I'm just grabbing the little ninety-nine in a man's heart. Every man has more or less macho thoughts in his heart, but for many reasons they don't show it.
Just like me and Ki-hee, his inner machismo is particularly strong because he is a soldier. But because of the difference in our status, he can't do the following.
But hearing me say this, it's like I'm giving him a shot of accelerator, forcing him to have no other way.
"There is no way to have an inn in such a village, and it is not a street. As for the accommodation, I'm afraid that we have to start with the village chief's house, and other people are afraid that they won't take us in. ”
"Are you saying we won't leave yet? Did you just hear something? ”
I looked at Qixi, I wanted to see what he was thinking, but unfortunately he was a soldier, and he was also a master, a little woman like me, it was really ridiculous to want to see through him.
"The old village chief wanted to come out to meet us, but the old woman stopped us!"
Qi Xi only said this, and looked at the room where the old woman entered, I don't know what he was looking at, did he still have the skill of perspective?
"Why?"
I hurriedly asked in front of the mountain, it seems that this matter is really strange!
"I didn't say it, I'm knocking on the door to try!"
After saying that, Qixi knocked on the wooden door again, and after a while, a crack opened in the house, and the old woman poked her head out to look at us, and without saying a word, she shrank back and closed the door.
"Old man, we don't have any malice, we came today to ask Xiaoyu, if you don't say it, it's okay, you see it's not early now, we haven't eaten here, we have no place to live, please take us in 10,000, we won't eat and live in vain."
Is there no way, Qixi shouted a few more words, but there was still no movement inside, it was obvious that people didn't want to deal with us.
Suddenly, a sentence came to mind: "You can never wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep." ”
People don't want to pay attention to us, no matter how kind we are, even if you shout out the sky, I'm afraid that they won't ignore us, but will call the police!
"Let's go, in that case, let's put Xiaoyu's ashes and talk about it, looking for her family is just what I want to make up for her for a while, since I can't find anyone, then forget it!"
I patted Ki-hee on the shoulder and turned to leave.
This is a miscalculation today, I thought it was not far, who knew that we would go so far in the east that Xiaoyu said, otherwise we would not have prepared something to eat, which made my stomach rumble now and I was weak.
"Gege, but you haven't eaten for a day!"
Aunt Wang hesitated for a moment, and when she finished speaking, she shook her head when she saw me, and she turned around to look at the yard again, and had no choice but to follow.
"A few people stay!"
At this time, an old man's voice came from behind us, although the voice came out of an old man's hair, but it sounded vigorous and powerful, at least not the feeling of dying, the old man was tough.
Sure enough, when I turned around, an old man was walking towards us, the old man was already gray, the braids on his head were long, but they were all white, and I only saw a few faint black hairs, he must be not young.
"Grandpa!"
I said a word and bowed to the old man, since he came out and was willing to come out to meet us, then it proves that we don't have to sleep in the mountains and forests today, and we have to eat.
To be honest, I was thinking of using the money to buy something to eat at every household here, even if it was a bowl of rice and cabbage. But after thinking about it, can we really buy it?
For the first time, I experienced the feeling that I couldn't buy anything with money, and in modern society, many people think that money may be the solution to all problems, and as long as you have money, there is nothing you can't do.
But just now, just a few minutes ago, I realized that money can't do things, and I simply want to buy a meal with money.
"Come with me!"
The old man said a word, and then turned and walked back, I thought that he would be very excited and happy to welcome us in when he walked towards us so briskly, but this scene made me a little disappointed.
Of course, it also aroused my curiosity and the curiosity to follow him to the house for a sitting.
The three of us glanced at each other, Qixi nodded, I dared to go in boldly, he nodded, proving that he could guarantee that the few of us were worry-free.
Suddenly, I felt that it was good to have such a bodyguard by my side at all times, and I felt safe.
"Sit down!"
The old village chief said a word and went to pour water for us, but the old grandmother just now was not here. I looked around the room, it was larger, and there was a wooden table, which was a hall.
I looked to the other side, and there was the kitchen, and the grandmother was busy in front of the stove.
"Where are you from?"
The old village chief poured us water and asked.
I was so hungry that I didn't answer his words, I took the water and drank two or three bowls directly, I never felt that I was so crazy, I didn't even care about the image of drinking water, and I thought the water was very delicious.
I had a burp and a pat on my stomach when I was done, and I felt much more comfortable. Aunt Wang and Qixi both waited for me to finish drinking before they drank, which is the rule.
It stands to reason that in this case, Aunt Wang should test the water for me first to see if it is poisonous, but she hasn't taken the bowl yet, who was drunk by me, and in desperation, she had to pull my sleeve, but I shook my head, and when I saw that I was fine, she put down her hanging heart.
"Grandpa, I'm smiling, we're so hungry!"
I smiled awkwardly, there was really no way, who told me to be not only thirsty, but also hungry!
"My family is already preparing meals, and I'll be ready to eat after a while."
The old village chief was not surprised, and sat aside, still looking at me carefully.
"Thank you, old man, you're the village chief here, aren't you?"
"Yes!"
"That's easy to say, old village chief, we are not wicked people. We came here this time to ask Xiaoyu if she has any family, if you know anything, please don't hide it from us, we have no malicious intentions. ”
I don't know why, but I think the old village chief is very amiable, and I ask myself if it will be because he opened the door to invite us in and poured water for us to drink, right?
But, the answer is no.
"The little girl hasn't answered me yet!"
The old village chief laughed, and instead of answering my question, he asked me in turn.
"Answering your words?"
I looked confused, not knowing when he was going to ask me a question.
"He just asked us where we are from and what our identities are!"
It was still Qixi who was careful, and whispered in my ear, and I reacted, there is such a thing.
"Oh, the old village chief, we are here in the capital, I won't hide it from you, Xiaoyu is dead, we came here this time to send Xiaoyu's ashes back, but I don't know if she has any family, so I want to find her family and inform them of the illness to compensate them."
Anyway, it's not a matter of hiding it, and if you want to know the information from others, then you have to show some sincerity, otherwise the other party doesn't even know your identity, how can they tell you.
But the old village chief's sense of precaution is also a little too strong, especially the old woman, she is the one who doesn't even talk to us directly.
All this, tell me that there must be something in this, and it is related to Xiaoyu, and if I want to know this, I have to dig a little bit.
"Are you from the palace?"
The old village chief listened to my words and stared at me more vigilantly, I looked at him, I didn't understand why he reacted so strongly, and at the door on the side, the old woman was also standing there, she was still holding a kitchen knife in her hand, and she was also very vigilant looking at us.
"I am, old village chief, why are you looking at me like that? I'm really not a bad person. ”
Seriously, looking at this scene, I'm really a little empty, especially the old woman's side, she is still holding a kitchen knife, what if I am excited, what if I am excited and slash at me with a kitchen knife?
I'm not worried that I'll be hurt, I'm afraid that they will be hit by Qixi on the side unconsciously when the time comes, so it will hurt the innocent.
The old village chief did not rush to veto my words, but looked at the three of us carefully, and was stunned for a long time before he spoke: "Then I'll tell you about Xiaoyu!" ”
