Chapter 222: Acquaintances in the Mountain Village
As soon as Aunt Wu said this, others suddenly became anxious, and the two children had not come back from the mountain until this time, what if they ran into wild animals?
Although this village is small, but the relationship between the families is very good, so under a shout, all the men in the family ran out, holding torches and planning to go up the mountain to find someone, I don't want to meet the main owner just out of the village.
"Why are you two so bold? Secretly go up the mountain and don't say anything, I came back so late! "Uncle Jin started to get angry again after he was happy, half of it was afraid, fortunately he was back, what if there was an accident? The doll can't go on anymore and runs away, if the remaining two children have another accident, how can Lao Zhao Ke live?
The two children were a little embarrassed, and then they felt that what the two of them had done today was a little too much, why did they run up the mountain like this when their brains were hot? The elder sister is even more annoyed, she shouldn't have agreed to take her younger brother with her, fortunately she met a noble person today, otherwise the two sisters and brothers would really be dead, and she was even more remorseful in her heart, and secretly made up her mind that she must take good care of her father and take care of her younger brother in the future.
"Uncle Jin, we're fine, these nobles just happened to pass by and save us." The younger brother's eyes blinked, and the topic was diverted, and if he continued, the whole village would come to denounce them for being ignorant, and that was not pleasant: "It is said that it is the owner of Mohs Pharmacy, and the medicinal materials we just arrived today have been sold to them, and we have the money to hire a doctor for Daddy."
Uncle Jin found that the two children were followed by a few gorgeously dressed young people, all of whom looked like they were walking down from the painting, which was called a good-looking, and immediately felt a little uncomfortable, and walked forward cautiously, and said politely: "A few of the children who saved our village, thank you so much, it's getting late, if you don't dislike it, why don't you stay here for the night?" The nearest village would have to walk for hours. ”
Originally, these few had the idea of staying nearby, if they hadn't met these two unlucky children today, they wouldn't have known that there was a small village hidden nearby, and now that they took the initiative to invite, where was there anything unhappy, they naturally agreed immediately, not only that, Nangong Xiao also praised the two children, saying that they knew how to share worries for their families at a young age, and regardless of the danger, they were just to see a doctor for their father. Even the people of the same village also feel that they have such a good child in their village, and they feel that they have a lot of face to be so praised by these nobles.
For a while, the atmosphere was very good, the two sisters and brothers happily led a few nobles to their own home, to say that their house is still relatively good, at least compared to the dilapidated house of other people's houses, this house is made of wood, complete, the most important thing near this is wood, it can be seen that it took a lot of effort to build it when it was built, and it was carefully dried before the wall was raised, and the roof made of good wood was densely covered with hay. There are no tiles, but they look neatly packed.
"This house was built with the help of the big guy when Lao Zhao got married, Lao Zhao has a great ability, he went into the mountains and went back and forth, and he saved a few dollars in his hand, so he married a beautiful daughter-in-law and built a good house." Uncle Jin called everyone else to go home, and he accompanied a few people over: "But God can't see it, it is hard to call this good man a lot of disasters, a few days ago when Lao Zhao went up the mountain to hunt, he happened to meet the wild animals in the forest went crazy and was seriously injured, but fortunately it was him, and it was estimated that someone else would be dead, that day he was found by the people who went up the mountain to collect firewood when he was covered in blood, very scary, and went home to ask the doctor to see a doctor and lay in bed for several days without getting better, and the family's savings were so exhausted. ”
The two sisters and brothers had already run into the house, several people and Lao Jin stood outside and did not take the initiative to enter the door, Lao Jin sighed: "The two dolls are also miserable, that woman, alas, seeing Lao Zhao like this, probably thinks that there is no good life in the future, she is a woman to take care of the sick, and there are two children, she felt that she couldn't hold on, so she ran away secretly, and has never come back until now, poor two dolls are so old to take on the burden of supporting the family." ”
It turns out that there is no hostess in this house, no wonder it is that the two children ventured up the mountain, and when they spoke before, they only mentioned their father, but they didn't say a word about their mother, and they were also resentful in their hearts?
"Come in, Daddy, please all come in and sit!" The elder sister ran out with a smile, and her red face looked particularly cute in the dim light of the oil lamp: "Uncle Jin also came in, and Daddy said that he would like to thank you." ”
"Your dad is such a temper, what are you thanking the neighbors?" Lao Jin laughed very heartily, turned around and bent down very politely to several distinguished guests: "Come into the house quickly, enter the house quickly, the wild animals on the mountain are restless and dangerous at night, it is safer to go into the house." Nizi, I'm afraid that the food you cook at home tonight is not enough, so I'll ask your aunt to bring some later. ”
Dong Li hurriedly stopped: "Then how can it be done?" Your rations are also limited, and it is not convenient to buy this land, so we can bring our own things, and borrow the stove or something. ”
Lao Jin didn't say anything anymore when he heard this, just smiled honestly, the food here is indeed very precious, where is there any place to grow food in the mountains, and a piece of land is opened up in front of the house and behind the house, and it is necessary to beware of wild animals coming down the mountain to harm the crops, the grain harvested all year round is limited, fortunately, there is no shortage of wild things and wild fruits and wild vegetables, otherwise it is difficult for these people to live.
Although the wooden house is not big, but it is very clean inside, perhaps because there is really nothing in the house, there is no need to clean up and it will not be messed up, a man of about thirty or forty years old sat on the bed, also extremely thin, his face was yellow, a pair of eyes were deeply sunken, and the corners of his mouth were tightly pursed, giving people an extremely hard feeling.
Dongli was taken aback, I didn't expect to see such a brilliant character in this remote area, although this old Zhao looks extremely embarrassed at the moment, but that person, that momentum, proud at a glance, I feel that he is not an ordinary person, he is not particularly good-looking, but his facial features are like a knife split, tough and calm like a mountain, his eyes occasionally reveal some sharpness, like lightning, the whole person feels like a simple and unpretentious sword, and his appearance does not seem to be very good. But the edge after the unsheath is extremely amazing.
Nangong Xiao could almost tell at first glance that this man had definitely been on the battlefield, and a person who had not experienced iron-blooded killing would not have that kind of momentum.
It may really be the induction between the same kind, so many people came into the house together, and the man sitting on the bed locked on Nangong Xiao at first sight, and the originally grateful smile on his face also changed in an instant, and the eyes of the two people met, it felt like a short confrontation, and finally the man took the initiative to turn his eyes away, and thanked politely: "I heard that it was you who saved my children, please forgive me for being inconvenient and unable to get up to thank you." ”
"You're so polite, we're just in a hurry." Dong Li had long noticed the meaningful eyes of her husband when he looked at this person, and she herself felt that it was absolutely impossible for an ordinary mountain man to have such an extension and momentum, and she couldn't help but doubt this old Zhao: "Besides, your two children are very cute, you can be alone at such a young age, should you say that the tiger father has no dogs?" ”
It seemed to be just an ordinary compliment, but the man's pupils suddenly constricted, staring at Dong Li's smiling face, as if trying to see something from that face, but Dong Li didn't know anything, so he pretended to be smiling and unfathomable, pretending to be a big-tailed wolf, but it made the hearts of the man with a ghost in his heart go up and down, I don't know if they knew something, did they happen to pass by here, or did they come here in the first place?
As a result, Dongli's expression made him not see anything useful, but he made himself suspicious, and withdrew his gaze suspiciously, but just met Nangong Xiaoruo's meaningful eyes, his heart jumped suddenly, and he lowered his gaze with a little weakness.
Lao Jin looked a little cold, and said complainingly: "You are like this, stupid and stupid, with a warm heart but can't speak, and often misunderstands." Saying that he was very enthusiastic to invite a few people into the house to sit, there was no furniture in the room, and there was a patient lying on the only bed, Lao Jin also seemed to feel a little embarrassed, a swarthy face was black and red, Nizi had already run over with a few small benches, Lao Jin hurriedly took over the stubble: "Poor family, nothing decent, just take it, hehe, I'm really embarrassed." ”
But a few people are not uncomfortable, take the small bench, and don't care about the expensive clothes on their bodies, a few people sit in the local area, some people are like that, even if they are dressed like beggars, they can wear the same momentum as the emperor, except for the East Fence, the others are like this, although they sit on a small bench with a very rustic atmosphere, but they still maintain the noble elegance that seems to be innate.
On the contrary, let's take a look at the east fence, maybe the previous life was a native of the countryside, she is actually very familiar with this kind of small bench or something, and after seeing it, she also felt very cordial, so after taking the bench, she sat down very naturally, the action was no different from the two Nizi sisters and brothers, and a few people who came with her stared at her, as if they were looking at something rare, but Nizi and a few people felt very excited, as if this high-ranking medicine store owner had a common language with himself all of a sudden, So Nizi took the initiative to drag her small bench and sit down next to the east fence: "When will the money for that mallet be given to us?" ”
Dong Liang was depressed, and thought that it was because he had an affinity that provoked Xiao Loli to take the initiative to get close, and the co-author was afraid that she would not admit it at that time: "Don't worry, when I go back, I'll ask someone to send it to you, if you don't feel at ease, take your ginseng with us, pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other?" ”
Nizi thought about it very seriously: "I know that you rich people don't care about that money at all, and you won't lie to us." ”
Dong Liang showed a little smile on his face, and the feeling of being trusted was still extremely good, but Nizi's next sentence broke her good feeling mercilessly: "But I'm still not at ease, what about so much money, I have to watch it myself, I'm still going with you?" ”
Dongli was stunned, Nangong Xiao and the others turned their backs and laughed secretly, even Lao Jin couldn't help but laugh a little, his mouth was closed vigorously, and his eyes looked at the dark roof very intently, as if there was some treasure there.
Lao Zhao coughed: "Nizi, it's not peaceful outside, you don't go out for a girl." "To be continued.
