Chapter 852: A Dilapidated Village



c_t; In the cabin, Chu Ge briefly said his thoughts, Mu Xiaoting was stunned for a moment, only then did she find some problems that she hadn't thought of before, and her gaze at Chu Ge also changed again.

After this twists and turns of the night, she thought that she already knew something about Chu Ge, but at this moment, she suddenly realized that it was still just her self-righteousness.

This man, in the case of near-death, can still calmly analyze so many problems, and can still make such considerations for others, he is gentle and violent, gentlemanly and vulgar, generous and stingy...... What kind of person is he?

No matter how much Mu Xiaoting couldn't see through Chu Ge, she became more and more sure of one thing, that is, this man full of contradictions was really worth Mu Lingshan's desperate dedication to her feelings.

Moreover, she also felt an inexplicable joy, because in Chu Ge's plan, he was going to go to the provincial capital with her, and they could continue to walk all the way.

After the two of them had said these things in the cabin, they immediately set off, leaving the grove and making their way along the river.

Chu Ge was worried that Li Zheming and the others would still search for them in the vicinity, so when he was making clothes, he also used some branches of moderate size and length to make some simple darts and pinned them to the inside of the big shorts in case of emergency.

However, they went all the way to a place where there was a house, and they didn't encounter any accidents, and Chu Ge was a little relieved for the time being.

Chu Ge and Mu Xiaoting's luck was not bad, they walked for more than an hour, and then they met an old lady who went out to dig wild vegetables, the old lady was in her sixties, she looked very ordinary, and her clothes were very plain, and she lived in a small village with dozens of families not far away.

The old lady was startled when she first saw Chu Ge and Mu Xiaoting, and thought that she had met a wild man, and the wild vegetables she had just dug out in her hand fell to the ground, but when she listened to Chu Ge's explanation, and looked at Chu Ge and Mu Xiaoting carefully, she quickly calmed down, and her eyes were full of kindness and sympathy.

Although, Chu Ge didn't tell the truth at all, he just made up an excuse for being robbed.

The old lady was very nice, just asked a few more words, and took Chu Ge and Mu Xiaoting to her house.

It's a very dilapidated village, and there aren't many people in the first place, most of whom are old people and children. [ ]

The old people didn't react much when they saw either of them, and some of the five or six-year-old children with the kind of red faces caused by the wind and sun showed very curious eyes.

Under the gaze of several children, Chu Ge didn't react, but Mu Xiaoting felt that her whole body was twisted all over her body, and a little boy who was five or six years old and had a bare ass wanted to touch her grass skirt, and almost screamed out in fright.

Fortunately, she and Chu Ge followed the old lady not far away, and the three of them arrived at the place.

The old lady's home is also very simple, with a badly painted iron door, a small courtyard of seven or eight square meters, and a brick house that I don't know how many years old.

There are only her and her wife in the family, the old man is about 1.7 meters tall, his facial features and body bones are very tough, and there are a lot of calluses on his hands, obviously he often works in the field.

When he first saw Chu Ge and Mu Xiaoting, the old man was very vigilant, asked the old lady, and said a few words to Chu Ge, and after a while, he became enthusiastic.

Under the hospitality of the old couple, Chu Ge and Mu Xiaoting finally changed into a set of clothes and shoes for their children who went out to work, and ate a decent meal, although the size of the clothes was very inappropriate, and the meal was very simple, but Chu Ge was already very, very content.

Chu Ge was smiling when he ate, chatting with the old couple in full swing, and laughing heartily at the old couple in a few words, Mu Xiaoting ate but couldn't help but shed tears, if the nameless fruit was the best fruit she had ever eaten, then these steamed buns and pickles were the best breakfast she had ever eaten.

The things on the shabby wooden table are hot steamed buns, fragrant rice porridge, sweet and silky sweet garlic, and salty radish strips.

Mu Xiaoting's crying, the old couple hurriedly comforted, the words were some of the most simple, or very rustic language, but listening to Mu Xiaoting's ears, it made her heart warm as never before, and as a result, she cried even more.

After eating this meal, Chu Ge asked the old man if he had a phone, but in fact, he didn't have much hope, but the old man really took out a mobile phone and came out.

Although it was just an old man's mobile phone with 100 yuan on the market, the old man's face showed a kind of pride, saying that his son had a good job and bought it for him with part-time work.

Chu Ge smiled and said, "The old man is so blessed", asked what kind of place this is, and how to get there if he came from Lido, so he took the phone and called Chen Jue.

It seemed that all the bad luck dissipated with the cessation of the heavy rain, Chu Ge not only put on his clothes, ate well, and borrowed the phone, but the phone was quickly connected by Chen Jue.

On the phone, Chu Ge didn't say much, only told Chen Jue not to let anyone know that he had called Chen Jue, and asked Chen Jue to bring some cash to his place as soon as possible when it was convenient, Chen Jue was not ambiguous, and directly agreed.

Hang up and all that's left is to wait.

Although, Chu Ge really wanted to contact Qin Ruojing and Qin Ruoying now and let the sisters know that he was fine, but he still resisted the urge and decided to wait and talk.

After all, his current identity is a "dead man", and he has nothing to worry about Qin Ruojing, but he is not sure about Qin Ruoying's mouth.

In short, the fewer people who know that he is safe and sound, the better;

Chu Ge was just about to hand the phone back to the old man, when there was a sound of footsteps and a few mutters in the small courtyard outside.

"Well, where did you get that pile of broken leaves......? It's really nothing to idle. ”

When the words landed, there was another commotion outside, and then a middle-aged woman with a slightly chubby figure, small eyes, and some freckles on her nose walked in.

"Mom, I'll ...... back"

The middle-aged woman was halfway through her speech, and suddenly saw Chu Ge, who was handing the phone to the old man, and Mu Xiaoting, who was wiping her tears on the wooden bench next to the table, and was stunned for a moment, and then her brows furrowed, and her eyes were far from friendly.

Glancing at Chu Ge and Mu Xiaoting vigilantly, the middle-aged woman turned her gaze to the old man, "Dad, who are they?

Chu Ge stood up, "This eldest sister, we are ......"

"I didn't talk to you. The middle-aged woman choked Chu Ge and continued to ask the old man with her eyes.

The old man hurriedly explained: "Erhong, these two children were robbed, and there was nothing on them, just now your mother went out to dig vegetables and ran into it." ”

"Mom, I didn't say you, you're really confused, you know who they are, you dare to go home to get them, in case they are fugitives or something, don't you feel uncomfortable for yourself?"

Erhong hugged her arms and complained, glancing at Chu Ge and Mu Xiaoting respectively, "Let's go, hurry up, don't stay at our house, what is it?"

Hearing Er Hong say this, the old couple's faces were a little embarrassed, and the old lady hurriedly said: "Hong, the two of them are not bad people, these two children are pitiful enough, you ......"

"Pitiful, pitiful, why are you so real, what are they talking about? Besides, even if they are really robbed, what's the matter with our family?"

Before the old lady finished speaking, Er Hong interrupted the old lady's words, and urged Chu Ge again: "What's the matter? I'll let you go, I can't understand people's words? I can't speak well? Are you going to be a scoundrel with us?"

The old man frowned, and just wanted to say something, but Chu Ge smiled first and looked at Erhong and the old couple respectively.

"Okay, eldest sister, don't be angry, let's go, old man, old lady, I'm really embarrassed to disturb you today, thank you so much. ”

After speaking, Chu Ge turned his gaze to Mu Xiaoting, whose face was very ugly and there were tears in the corners of her eyes, signaling that she should leave.

Mu Xiaoting bit her lip, not to mention that it was not a taste in her heart, but she still didn't say anything after all, wiped the corners of her eyes vigorously, and stood up from the bench.

The old lady grabbed Mu Xiaoting's wrist, opened her mouth, and just wanted to say something, her daughter's voice came from her ears.

"Mom!"

The old lady hesitated, let go of the hand on Mu Xiaoting's wrist, sighed a little helplessly, shook her head apologetically, and didn't say anything more.

Chu Ge still smiled modestly, waited until Mu Xiaoting walked to his side, bowed deeply to the old couple, and then took Mu Xiaoting to turn around and walk towards the door.

However, as soon as they took two steps out, Erhong's voice came from behind them, "Wait!"

Chu Ge paused, turned around and smiled: "Eldest sister, what's wrong?"

Erhong hugged her arms and squinted at Chu Ge and Mu Xiaoting, "I said you two, just leave like this?"

Before Chu Ge could say anything, Mu Xiaoting took the first step and asked, "If you don't go like this, then how can we go?"

In his voice, there was extremely suppressed dissatisfaction, and there was also a bit of anger in his tone.

Erhong was obviously shocked by the momentum of the official eunuch that Mu Xiaoting inadvertently revealed, but she was only stunned for less than a second before she came back to her senses, looked Mu Xiaoting up and down a few times, and glanced at her mouth with disdain.

"What's the matter? Who are you messing with? You come to our house to eat and drink, rub your clothes and shoes, and you still have a good reason? Do you know that you are wearing my clothes? You still have the face to be unhappy with me? Look at your virtue!"

Erhong's speech was very fast, suddenly like a machine gun, Mu Xiaoting's face became more and more ugly, because she had realized what Erhong's "wait" just now meant.
