After returning to the inn, Lin Wan'er commanded a few more words before entering the door: "Today's matter is over, there is no need to keep thinking about it, prepare for the scientific examination well." ”

"Good...... Okay, thank you, Miss Lin. Xiao Ci felt that his heart was beating a little fast, and his face was burning all the time.

After explaining to Xiao Ci, Lin Wan'er took a few children into the house, Zhao Mulle covered his mouth and snickered: "Brother Xiao is so stupid, I can't see such simple acting skills, I saw that grandma said that it was not a leg." ”

"Lele, Brother Xiao is not stupid, but he is too simple." Zhao Muping raised his index finger and shook it, explaining to her very seriously.

"Is it simpler than us?" Zhao Mu'an was puzzled on the side, obviously his mother had already reminded him, and he quickly guessed it when he got the hint, could it be said that Xiao Ci was more simple than a child?

"Alright, let's rest first." Lin Wan'er closed the door, and Xiao Ci was shyly flushed at the door, it turned out that he was actually such an image in the minds of the children, and it was a bit embarrassing to say.

After staying in the town for one night, a group of people continued to go north, most of the dart masters were looking for some small towns or villages, only if they couldn't catch up, they would also choose broken temples or other abandoned thatched huts, unless it was too far to arrive, they would choose to stay in the wilderness, after all, with three children, it was not safe in the woods.

After walking, the group came to a place called Jiaojiazhai to stay overnight, which was located in the middle of the two towns, with mountains behind it, and even the road was not as wide as the pipes outside.

However, the coachman said that this was a place they had borrowed together, and the people in the village were good, so he took Lin Wan'er and her gang to live here.

Jiaojiazhai is not a big place, about thirty or forty households, Lin Wan'er and they borrowed a big lady's house, and there is a child at home, it is Su Yan who they have met and helped in the town before, and then as long as they take this road, they will choose to stay here, although the number of times is not much, but both sides are familiar people.

Seeing Lin Wan'er and Xiao Ci coming in with a few children, the eldest lady welcomed them very warmly: "The conditions at home are okay, but the bedding has been prepared, the two are husband and wife, it looks like a real match." ”

The eldest lady laughed while leading them in, her son led the horse to the back to feed, a man and a woman also appeared in this kind of place with their children, many people will subconsciously think that they are husband and wife, Xiao Ci's face immediately turned red, and he lowered his head because he didn't explain because of selfishness.

Lin Wan'er smiled very friendly: "Auntie, you misunderstood, we are just friends we met on the road, and we will trouble Auntie today." ”

"I'm sorry, I misread it." The eldest lady smiled heartily, but she didn't feel embarrassed: "Look at what you said, isn't the house empty just for living, I'll clean it up for you later, I haven't had dinner yet, and there is no wine and meat at home, just some home-cooked side dishes, don't dislike it." ”

"Thank you, grandma, that's enough." Zhao Mule jumped forward, they hadn't suffered before, and now they were very satisfied with food and shelter.

"The children are so cute, ouch, they all look the same, who's the boss?" The eldest mother was even more enthusiastic when she saw the child, her smiling eyes narrowed, and the children's playful reply coaxed Aunt Zhang to be happy.

took Lin Wan'er and them to the house, and introduced them while cleaning up: "My surname is Zhang, you can call me Aunt Zhang, my son is called Jiao Zhu, just look for him if you have anything." ”

While speaking, the house has been cleaned up, Aunt Zhang asked them to rest first and cook by themselves, Xiao Ci rushed forward to help, and the three children also went over to help wash vegetables and cook, Aunt Zhang was surprised by their proficiency, Zhao Muping patted Zhao Mule's arm and said, "Grandma, you don't know, Lele's cooking is delicious." ”

"I can cook at such a young age, but I'm really sensible." Aunt Zhang's eyes were full of relief, but she still shook her head: "You are guests today, but there is no reason for you to do it." ”

Lin Wan'er looked at them laughing, and there was a little smile in her eyes, she saw Jiao Zhu take out a half-sized chicken from the wooden box next to the wall, looking like this was preparing for dinner at night, but after this chicken was taken away, the door of the wooden box was not closed, and there was no movement inside, all of which said, is this the only meat in their family?

Lin Wan'er felt a little emotional, even if the family was already so difficult, she had to give the best to entertain them, Aunt Zhang was too enthusiastic.

Thinking that there were still a lot of meat dishes in the space, Lin Wan'er pretended to go into the house to get something, and after a while, she came out with two salted fish and a piece of bacon, she brought the things to the kitchen, looked at Aunt Zhang who was busy and said, "Auntie, I also have some dishes here, please make them together." ”

Aunt Zhang turned around with a smile, and hurriedly waved her hand after seeing that it was meat, and her face became serious: "Girl, what are you doing, put it away, we have something to eat at night, don't you still have to rush next, keep it for the road to eat." ”

"Auntie, you can take it, we still have a lot of it, these should be regarded as a thank you gift for taking us into accommodation, if you don't accept it, we will not be happy in our hearts."

Lin Wan'er directly stuffed the things into her hands, then looked at the children outside who were cleaning up the chickens with Jiao Zhi and said, "I also want to set a good example for the children, let them know that others have helped us, and we will also give something in return." ”

Aunt Zhang still wanted to shirk it, but in the end she was persuaded by Lin Wan'er, cut some bacon and cooked rice, and added delicious chicken soup, and several children ate it with oily mouths.

Soon night fell, Aunt Zhang hurriedly ordered Jiao to stop and take care of the gate, and used two wooden sticks to resist it in the back, as if she was afraid that something would break in, Lin Wan'er had some doubts in her eyes: "Aunt Zhang, isn't it safe here at night?" Why do you have to put the door against it? ”

Speaking of this, a little fear and sadness appeared on Aunt Zhang's face, and she pointed to the mountains behind her and said: "This matter is a long story, in the past, some young men and old people would go up the mountain to collect medicine and sell it in the town to subsidize the family."

But now it's not safe in the mountains, some time ago someone went to the mountains and didn't come back for a long time, and the family searched for a long time to find it, and they were covered in blood and carried back. Everyone thought that he probably encountered such a fierce beast that he almost lost half his life, and then everyone didn't dare to go again. ”
