Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Prodigal Son Has a Home

The man didn't say anything, just sighed helplessly, took the casserole and left. I looked at Ling Xin from behind suspiciously, and waited for the man to leave before I went over and asked him:

"He... Just gone? Didn't ask about the chickens? Ling Xin put his hand on my shoulder and said proudly:

"What is popularity," he raised his eyebrows at me again, "Learn more from my brother in the future." ”

I reluctantly took his hand off, thinking that since it was all right, I should not worry about him, and I would like to see how the old captain built the ship.

Just as he was leaving, Ling Xin grabbed me and said, "Brother, where are you going?" ”

"Oh, I'll go see how the old captain is doing, and help him by the way."

Ling Xin smiled and waved his hand: "It's okay, I'll give you my boat when the time comes, let's go and eat with me first." After speaking, he hugged me and walked forward: "Let's go to Sister Yin's house today, alas, other girls will definitely miss me again." ”

"Or... Go yourself, I don't think the old captain has eaten either, I'll make some food and bring it to him. I said cautiously, but as soon as I finished speaking, he immediately refuted it:

"How's that going to work? If you don't go, how can I be willing to enjoy the food alone," he paused and said, "Okay, okay, aren't you sick, I'll just say that you're not well, and ask him to cook something delicious." ”

"Guessed," I said helplessly.

It's still warm at noon on the island, and even though it's winter, even if you just put on a light coat, you don't feel cold. The warm sun shone on the dry path, Ling Xin put his arm around my shoulders and walked all the way to Miss Yin's house, telling me about his romance as she went. The affair is just his own description, in fact, to others, it is how many hooligans he has played. I listened helplessly to him all the way, and from time to time I echoed him to satisfy his vanity. Although he was really disgusting at times, he was actually nice to me and saved my life.

Miss Yin seemed to be waiting for us in front of the door, but when she saw Ling Xin, she pouted involuntarily. He leaned in with a smile on his face:

"What's delicious today? I brought my little brother to your place for some food, and I told him that the food in our village is the best one for you. I couldn't help laughing, I didn't expect that in addition to stealing chickens and touching dogs, his kung fu was also first-class. Miss Yin pouted and said:

"You just make it up, I don't know you see every girl say that, come in, the meal is ready for you."

"Why is he so nice to you?" Miss Yin entered the room first, and I approached Ling Xin and asked, but I regretted it the moment I finished asking. His answer also confirmed that I did not regret it in vain: "Hahaha, I am so charming, of course everyone loves me." When Miss Yin heard what he said, she turned to me and said:

"Don't always hang out with this scoundrel in the future, even if he saves you, it's a coincidence, you don't always feel like you owe him anything."

"No, in fact, Brother Ling Xin is very good to me." I scratched my head and said.

"Look, it's good!" As he spoke, he hurried to the front of the dining table, picked up the dishes and chopsticks and ate them. "Delicious! Delicious! He said as he ate.

"Just eat, you're the most active!" Miss Yin took out the soup from the pot, put it in the middle of the table, and then said to me, "You can eat too, you're welcome, it's like coming home." ”

"Yes, yes, you're welcome." Ling Xin said while eating.

Miss Yin gave him a blank look and put some fresh vegetables into my bowl, and I immediately felt warm in my heart. A wanderer who has been wandering for many years has long lost the definition of home, no matter where he is, he feels like being under the fence, and the sense of security brought by the so-called home, I have never experienced it. But almost all of us did their best to help us build a home where the old captain and I could look up and talk. Whether it's Xue'er, Qingya or Miss Yin, whenever someone picks me food, I feel that I am not the one who is spurned by others, so whenever I look up and see the moon, I will think of those who have warmed me. Who says I don't have a home? Although it is at the end of the world, the four seas are home.

She saw that I was stunned and didn't eat, and said softly, "What's wrong?" I reacted, immediately thanked him, and ate the food. She smiled again and said:

"In the future, Ling Xin's family will come to me to eat when there is no food, and my sister will make something to eat for you."

"That's not necessary." Ling Xin sucked the noodles into his mouth and said, "In the future, I will take him and eat all over our village." ”

I looked at Miss Yin and smiled, "By the way, why didn't Uncle Yin eat here today?" I asked.

"Oh, he's gone out to see a doctor, not to mention, it's just been winter lately, and the climate on the island is changing very quickly, it's still warm at noon, and it's cold and frozen at night. Quite a few people have suffered from wind chills. Miss Yin said helplessly.

I was just about to say happily that I also knew how to heal, but when I remembered everything that happened in Camellia Township, I swallowed it back.

"When I was on another island, a doctor made me herbal soup, which is said to prevent wind and cold, and I remember the formula, why don't you boil it for them?"

Miss Yin put down the dishes and chopsticks and said with a smile: "Okay, I didn't expect you to understand medicine." ”

"I don't understand, I just remember this home remedy." I hurriedly explained, for fear that they would pull me to see a doctor again. After eating, I wrote down the prescription, Ling Xin had already gone out to sit in the backyard alone, in his words, to bask in the sun at noon.

As I wrote, I asked Miss Yin, "Is he usually like this all the time?" ”

"How?" Miss Yin smiled: "Like a child?" In fact, he has a good heart, but basically everyone in the village annoys him, because he doesn't go around to other people's houses to steal things. ”

"Why would he steal from someone else?"

Miss Yin sighed and said slowly, "Actually, his father is a thief, but he is the hero of our village. It is said that there used to be a treasure in our village, and only a very small number of older generations know what it looks like. But one day, a few outsiders arrived, and privately gave the village chief a sum of money and bought the treasure. Although we don't know exactly how much that treasure is worth, it has always been the belief of our village. Perhaps it is also because of it that our village is in good weather, and people live in harmony and happiness with each other. Miss Yin paused and continued:

"When we found out, the village chief had already fled, and it was Ling Xin's father who stole the baby back, but within a few days, the buyer took the baby back with a team of policemen. Ling Xin's father was also imprisoned for stealing other people's property, and no one has seen the baby since. ”
