Chapter Twenty-Five: Entering the Thief's Room

After another day, the old captain also woke up, and the small hospital in the village only had these few beds, and we didn't want to delay the treatment of others, so we decided to move to another place.

"The person who rescued you is called Ling Xin," Miss Yin said to me with a smile, "He usually looks immodest, but he is actually quite enthusiastic, you can go and live with him." I nodded. In fact, Ling Xin has been running here all the time, but he didn't come to see me and the old captain, mainly to flirt with Miss Yin, but I heard Miss Yin say that he is like this with any girl.

The island's climate is no different from that of Camellia Village, with a cool wind blowing through the wide poplar leaves and a fine mist diffusing the humid air. I still think about Qingya in my heart, and in my drowsy dreams, there is always her smile. That smile was like a bright ray of sunshine, pulling me back from the bottom of the darkness, but I woke up so far away from her. We stood at the door of the small medical hall and saw Ling Xin coming from a distance.

It was Miss Yin who called him to pick us up yesterday, and he looked very reluctant, but he still agreed to come over today. The old captain knew that Ling Xin's house only had one extra bed, so he decided to live elsewhere, and when he saw Ling Xin coming, he left to find someone else's house alone. Ling Xin walked over with a straw in his mouth, his hand in his trouser pocket, and he walked over with a cynical look, patted me on the shoulder and said, "How is the recovery?" You'll be staying with me from today onwards, eating and drinking for free, but you'll have to help me cook. He grinned.

I smiled and nodded, it is only necessary to live outside and eat food and help others do some work, not to mention that he is still my savior.

"Wait." As if he had suddenly thought of something, he was stunned for a moment, then spit the grass aside and went into the house with a grin: "Hey, little beauty, what are you going to give me to eat today?" ”

"Get up, I'm busy, how can I have something delicious for you." Miss Yin replied to him impatiently with the medicine.

Ling Xin made a helpless expression, and just wanted to leave as if he remembered something, he pointed to me outside and said, "I have a patient at home, you have to get something delicious for others." ”

Miss Yin looked at me, frowned at him again, and said, "You will use people as a shield." Then she went to her room and got some biscuits and milk: "Well, this is for the sick, don't eat them all." ”

"Yes, I know." Before Miss Yin finished speaking, Ling Xin came out with her things, and shook her things while walking towards me: "Look, brother gave you the loot you wanted, and I will give you some when I go home." As he spoke, he moved something to one hand and put the other hand around my neck, and strode back.

After a while, we arrived at a house, and I thought we were at his house, but he just stood still and looked inside, observed for a while, handed me something, and said, "You take your things and wait for me at the intersection in front." ”

I thought he was looking for something, so I took it with an "um" sound.

"I'm going to steal a chicken for you."

"Ahh Yes? Steal... Stealing a chicken? ”

"It's okay, just go to the front and wait for me." As he spoke, he looked inside the house to make sure there was no one inside.

This kind of thing is also common in relatively large villages, where they are reluctant to raise poultry and livestock, or newly moved outsiders go to other people's houses to steal chickens and dogs. But it's morning, and there are no fewer pedestrians on the streets, so stealing in broad daylight is a bit blatant.

"I didn't let you steal it, what are you afraid of?" He pushed me and said, "It doesn't matter to you if you get caught." ”

"But... But it's daytime. I stammered, "It's not good to steal someone's chicken." ”

"Why do you care so much? Don't forget, I saved you. ”

I sighed, after all, he saved my life, and I was not qualified to say anything more, so I had to walk to the alley, looking back at him as I walked, who knew that he was already gone after just two steps. I wondered, stuck my head in place to see where he had gone, but after a while, I felt someone behind me pat me.

I looked back and saw Ling Xin grinning at me with the dead chicken that had been twisted off his neck: "It's done, let's go." ”

"It's... That's too fast, isn't it? ”

He shook his head and looked at me proudly: "What is this, you see. He raised the casserole in his right hand: "I stole the casserole for you by the way." ”

"It's... It's not good. "I said it wasn't good, but I kept thinking about how he did it, even if there was such a fast door in the back, stealing chickens, killing chickens, and not being discovered, even if it was a professional thief.

"It's okay, I'll give him back the casserole in two days," he said, pushing me who was stunned, "Okay, let's go, go home and eat chicken." ”

When I got home, I put the chicken away and stewed it, and he went to the backyard yard to dig some wild vegetables and wash them, and grinned as he asked about the aroma: "The craftsmanship is good, it smells so good." ”

"They're not going to come here." I'm still a little worried, after all, it's the first time I've stolen with someone else.

"I guess it's going to be the evening." He stood next to the pot and said calmly, I was startled:

"At night? Do they know you stole it? ”

"I know, I've already eaten the chicken, hehe." He rubbed his hands and looked at the chicken in the pot as if it had nothing to do with him. I thought to myself that this is terrible, knowing that he was found for stealing words, and I guess he will beat us up, or at least drag us to his house to do coolies.

"Ugh." I sighed, thinking to myself why my life was so bitter and that I was such a life-saver. Ling Xin seemed to see my thoughts, patted me on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Anla, if you want to find me, it has nothing to do with you." I looked at him helplessly, put a rag on the table, and stole something, so I didn't ask the old captain to eat it together, because it was not good that people would come to the door in advance and cause the captain to be beaten together.

Ling Xin also brought the wild vegetables and dry food, handed me some, and ate them with relish. When I was cooking just now, I found that his stove hadn't been used for a long time, so I asked him, "Brother Ling Xin, don't you usually eat at home?" ”

"Hmm, incense." He was eating vigorously, and he didn't hear what I said at all, and after a while, he looked up and reacted: "Oh, you said to eat... I usually go to Yin Meizi's house to eat, or Gillian's house, and Yan Ting, the braised pork she makes is particularly delicious. He looked at me and pointed to the chicken in the casserole: "It's not as delicious as the one you made." ”
