Chapter 33: A Rare Reunion Dinner
The old man took the food with trembling hands, and then thanked Jiang Jingyun very gratefully: "Thank you, thank you so much, little girl, you are so good." ”
"You're welcome." Jiang Jingyun said indifferently: "You take these foods to eat, if it is not enough, you go south, there is a small town not far ahead, there will be people giving porridge during the day." ”
She used to go in and out of that town, and she could often see the wife of a very good-hearted family there, who would often give soup there.
"Okay, okay, we get it, thank you so much!" The old man said again.
Apparently everyone else was relieved that they had finally come to a good place after so long on the road.
On the side, Xie Feiran silently watched everything the woman in front of him do, and his heart was shocked.
Although he learned a little bit about her daily life from past letters.
Because of this, I have some good feelings for her.
But at the same time, some time ago he met a fellow villager who had told him about the woman abusing his two children at home.
It also made him even more uncertain.
The scene he saw before him included the side of her correspondence, and the incomparably vicious side of her who had mistreated his children as mentioned by his fellow countrymen.
Which side is the real her?
After thinking about it, Xie Feiran stopped worrying, after all, he left too hastily before.
Now that he's back, he'll have time to get to know her in the future.
Then, after they said goodbye to the group of wanderers, the two walked together in the direction of Xiejia Village.
Xie Feiran held a lantern in his hand to illuminate their path.
And Jiang Jingyun was walking on the side, while quietly looking at each other by the light of the lights.
Not to mention, this person is worthy of being the male protagonist, the whole person is slender and tall.
The facial features are naturally good-looking, with sword eyebrows, starry eyes and a straight nose.
The cheek contour is also just right, which is very pleasing to the eye.
However, because this person has been in the army for a long time, he has some murderous aura on his body.
If you don't know anything about him, ordinary people will only feel that he feels very alienated when they see him.
The whole person exudes the momentum of not entering.
Xie Feiran was a little uncomfortable by Jiang Jingyun, and then finally couldn't help but look at her and asked, "What are you looking at?" ”
"I didn't ...... It's nothing. Jiang Jingyun was so frightened by his sudden voice that she shrank her neck, and then quickly denied it and replied.
Seeing her timid look, Xie Feiran unconsciously hooked her lips,
After the two arrived home, Xie Liu ran towards Jiang Jingyun from a distance and threw himself into her arms as usual: "Mother! You're finally back! ”
"Well, I'm back." Jiang Jingyun smiled and hugged her in response.
And Xie Feiran next to him saw this scene, his expression was still a little complicated.
But Xie Liu doesn't care so much, he is extremely happy at the moment because his father and mother are here.
She happily held one by her hand and walked in the direction of the door.
And cheered as he walked: "Great, great, my mother is fine, now Liu'er has a father and a mother!" That's great! ”
Jiang Jingyun's expression froze when she heard Xie Liu's words, and then sighed slightly.
It's a pity that I'm going to leave soon.
After several people returned to the courtyard together, Xie Fanqun looked at them and asked, "What happened?" ”
Jiang Jingyun opened her mouth and didn't say anything, Xie Feiran said to him: "I met bandits, but I went in time, so I was in danger." ”
"I see." Xie Fanqun breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
Then he still looked at Jiang Jingyun worriedly and asked, "Jingyun, you were frightened, are you okay now?" ”
"I'm fine, don't worry." Jiang Jingyun shook her head and replied.
While talking, several people went back to the house together, and after entering the house, Xie Fanqun said to them: "I cooked dinner before you came back, so let's all sit down and eat." ”
Jiang Jingyun and Xie Feiran responded in unison.
The two of them sat down around the table with their children.
Jiang Jingyun picked up the chopsticks and gave Xie Liu some dishes: "Well, it's all Liu'er, your favorite food, eat it quickly." ”
After all, in order to wait for them to come back, the old man probably let the two children starve for a while.
"Hmm" Xie Liu nodded in response, and then naturally buried his head in the rice.
The interaction between the two is very intimate, and the child is not afraid of Jiang Jingyun at all, but is very close to her.
Xie Feiran quietly took in everything on the side.
And Xie Fanqun noticed that Xie Feiran didn't move his chopsticks much, so he looked at him and urged: "Eat quickly, you've been tossing for a day when you come back, and you should be hungry at this time." ”
"Okay." Xie Feiran answered, and then silently ate the vegetables.
Jiang Jingyun glanced at him when she heard the movement here, and felt a little inexplicable.
Ever since this man met, he was always aware that the other party was observing him, intentionally or unintentionally.
Could it be that something was seen in her and that he was curious about her?
As soon as she thought of this, Jiang Jingyun's heart instantly became a little nervous.
Seeing that everyone at the dinner table didn't talk much, the atmosphere gradually became a little weird.
Xie Fanqun, who was simply on the side, coughed lightly and said: "What, the group of bandits you said before are from Qingluan Mountain, the bandits over there have been troublesome for a while, what are you going to do?" ”
Xie Feiran paused, and then replied: "I'll report to the local officials tomorrow, if it's really not okay, I'll ask the above for instructions." ”
After all, since those local officials can condone the existence of those bandits in Qingluan Mountain for so long.
This also shows that they are simply unable to suppress bandits, or they have no intention of suppressing bandits at all.
Jiang Jingyun couldn't help but interject when she heard this: "This matter must be solved no matter what, otherwise the hidden danger is too great." ”
Even the group of refugees who had just passed by knew about the bandits, which meant that they were very active.
There was a lot of commotion, which is why it was so easy for people to know.
And generally dare to be so blatant, there is a great possibility that there are people above.
So she also felt that if the matter was only reported to local officials, it was unlikely to be resolved.
The only possibility is to ask someone of a higher rank to come forward.
Xie Feiran looked at her when she heard Jiang Jingyun's words, and was a little surprised that she would understand so much.
It seems that this woman is not just a few words.
After eating, everyone went back to their own rooms to sleep, Jiang Jingyun used the excuse of helping to wash the dishes, and went to the kitchen alone for a long time before finally having to enter the room where she and Xie Feiran were going to rest tonight.
Inevitably, at least tonight she had to share a room with this strange man.
Jiang Jingyun took a deep breath and comforted herself as long as she survived tonight.
After all, she's leaving tomorrow.
