"Why did you come to me? It's my first time here for you, and I don't know anyone in your village. ”

Hearing Cao Chuan shouting, Mu Chen, who had finished eating noodles in the hall and was about to take the empty bowl to the well to wash, strode out of the bowl and asked with doubts as he walked.

"Did you just save a boy?" Cao Chuan asked casually, "It's his sister who came here." ”

"Looking for it? So fast? Didn't you say that his family lived far away? Mu Chen was obviously taken aback, and then replied indifferently, "I'm just a good thing, and it's not worth mentioning." ”

Mu Chen, who spoke, had already walked to the door.

He was stunned for the first time when he saw Ji Beibei, and for some reason his heart twitched, and then an inexplicable cordiality and goodwill sprung up. This good feeling came too suddenly, so Mu Chen couldn't help but look at Ji Beibei a few more times, and then couldn't help but feel sad in his heart.

If his little daughter could live, she would probably be the age of the little girl in front of her now, right?

Thinking of his little daughter who died early, Mu Chen's eyes darkened, and he said to Ji Beibei with emotion: "It turns out that the little boy who drowned is your younger brother?" So why don't you watch the little child, and let him play in the water alone? It's too dangerous. In the future, your family will also have a snack, otherwise it will be too late to regret it no matter how sad it is. ”

"Uncle, it was you who saved my brother. Thank you, thank you, uncle......"

Mu Chen's words made Ji Beibei sure that he was indeed the one who saved his younger brother.

Even if she knew that this was the result, she was still extremely excited at this moment: "Don't worry, we know the carelessness, and we will definitely watch him next time." Thank you, uncle, can you come to my house, my parents must be very grateful to you......"

"If you know the carelessness, just pay attention next time. I just saw that it was easy to do, but it was just a matter of raising my hand and anyone who saw it would reach out. You don't have to go to your house. Although he had a special affection for Ji Beibei, Mu Chen still rejected her after raising his hand and looking at the time displayed in the watch on his wrist.

His time is limited, and this trip is rare to be able to take advantage of the mission to stop by to see his old comrades, but he really can't stay too long. So I don't want to waste my time on other unimportant things.

Ji Beibei didn't leave, biting his lower lip and looking at Mu Chen stubbornly and hopefully.

“......”

Ji Beibei's demeanor when he looked at him like this made Mu Chen's eyes go into a trance again, and for a moment, he completely overlapped the shadow of the little girl in front of him and his little daughter.

Mu Chen's heart throbbed violently.

If it weren't for his strong self-control, he knew very well that the person in front of him was not the little daughter he had been thinking about for more than ten years, and he was afraid that he would have cried on the spot.

How can there be two people in this world who look so similar?

When he came back to his senses, Mu Chen was gloomy, and he wanted to hide it when he was depressed, so his voice seemed a little hard, which made people listen to it as if he had a lesson: "My vacation is limited, and I really don't have time." You don't have to pay attention to the little things, you better go back to accompany your brother quickly. He should have woken up by now, but he must have been quite frightened. ”

After speaking, he didn't care about Ji Beibei's reaction, and turned around directly to go to the house.

He was afraid that if he continued to stay, he would see the aggrieved look of the little girl in front of him again. Either you can't help but lose control of your emotions, or you will "surrender" unconditionally.

"Uncle--"

Even if Mu Chen covered it up quite well, Ji Beibei, who had lived for two lifetimes, still keenly saw that Mu Chen's mood was wrong.

Ji Beibei is a little inexplicable. This uncle named Mu Chen is really weird, it seems that the look in his eyes has been strange since he saw her. If it weren't for the fact that she knew his identity as a soldier from the beginning, and he saved his brother, knowing that he couldn't be that kind of perverted person, I'm afraid she would really be too careful......

She secretly complained a few words in her heart, and Ji Beibei was stunned when she saw that Mu Chen had turned around and left after refusing so rudely. She knew that she couldn't just let people go, so she shouted loudly when she was in a hurry.

Mu Chen's footsteps paused, he wanted to ignore Ji Beibei, but he really couldn't refuse ruthlessly, he inexplicably had a feeling that rejecting her was rejecting his little daughter who died early, and his heart was entangled for a while, he finally surrendered, and could only helplessly turn his head to look at her.

"Uncle, when I came out to look for my brother just now, I went to the stream first and met Cao Fengnian. He told me that it was uncle, you saved my brother, but Lin Jiabao took my brother back. ”

Mu Chen was able to stop and look back at himself, which really made Ji Beibei breathe a sigh of relief. She didn't dare to think about anything else, so she hurriedly said: "So I was in a hurry at the time, and I didn't know what happened to my brother, so I hurried to the house." Unexpectedly, halfway through, I saw Lin Jiabao and his mother carrying my younger brother in front.

I followed them, and I heard the two of them discussing as they walked and said that they couldn't just send my brother back, and that they had to find a few more people to go to my house first, and that this life-saving grace would not make my parents bleed. ”

Ji Beibei bit his lower lip as he spoke, and his eyes were stained with a layer of mist: "At that time, I felt that it was wrong when I heard this, and I didn't dare to alarm them, so I continued to follow them very carefully and listen to them." Unexpectedly, later, Lin Jiabao's mother said again, and said......"

Her tears fell in her eyes, and she choked up and couldn't go on.

"What did they say again? It just doesn't make sense. They didn't save people at all, but they were embarrassed to ask your family for a favor? Are they still going to be shameless? ”

Ji Beibei's words made Cao Chuan on the side explode first, and he shouted angrily and asked directly at Ji Beibei, "Tell me what they said later?" ”

"They, they said they were going to take advantage of this incident to propose to our family."

Ji Beibei wiped his tears and said with a sad and indignant face: "Lin Chunbao's mother said that I should stop studying in the future, saying that girls are reading so many books, why do they read so many books?" Anyway, sooner or later, I have to get married, so it is better to ask me to get engaged to Lin Chunbao as soon as possible, in the future, in addition to one more laborer in their family, they can also have more people to live and work for her family's Lin Chunbao to go to high school or even college......"

Thinking of what happened to him in his previous life, Ji Beibei came from his heart: "They also said that they were not afraid that our family would not agree, otherwise they would preach in the village that our family was ungrateful, and pigs and dogs were not as good." ”

She cried out with a "wow", and said to Mu Chen and Cao Chuan: "Uncle, Uncle Cao, you can go to my house, tell my parents and tell the people in the village that my brother was not rescued by Lin Chunbao at all, and it won't delay you too much." ”
