Hua Yan was shocked, fortunately she hadn't put the bucket into the space yet, and the other party shouldn't have noticed anything abnormal.

However, Hua Yan searched in the memory of the original owner and determined that the other party was not from Huajia Village, and the water source was scarce recently, and it was possible for people from other villages to come to fetch water.

His eyes swept over the wooden barrel in the man's hand, and then Hua Yan found that the other party's sleeve was empty, and he only had one left hand.

The mountain road is difficult to walk, even if you walk empty-handed, most people have to hold on to the cliff with one hand, let alone carry a bucket of water.

It is conceivable how difficult it is to fetch water with one hand, and at this moment, the bucket that has been filled with water is here, and if you take away the mountain road, it can be directly reduced by half......

Hua Yan looked at the other party, did not speak, and the hand that moved behind her back had already quietly clenched her fist, however, when the other party really put down the bucket and stepped forward to pick up the bucket of water, Hua Yan let go of her hand again.

She was confident that she would not lose to the other party even if she did it, but the mountain road here was narrow, and it was not worth taking the risk for the sake of a bucket of water.

The other party grabbed it.

"Let's go." The moment the man picked up the water and turned to go down the mountain, he suddenly spoke.

Hua Yan was stunned for a moment, "You ......"

"I'll carry it for you." After saying this, the man went down the mountain.

Hua Yan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that she had misunderstood.

The weight of most of the bucket of water is not light, and seeing that the other party is walking very hard, Hua Yan hurriedly said: "It's better for me to come by myself, I have a lot of strength, I can really do it." ”

The man did not speak, but he did not let go of the bucket, but gritted his teeth and continued to walk in silence step by step.

Although Hua Yan wanted to step forward to take it, she was also worried about an accident in the pull, so she could only follow behind.

In this way, it was not until he reached the foot of the mountain that the man put down the bucket and wiped the sweat from his face.

"Thank you so much, uncle." When Hua Yan went down the mountain, she carried the man's empty bucket, and after putting it away, she picked up her bucket and poured half of the water into it, "Half of this water for each of us." ”

The man looked at the bucket of water, was silent for a moment, then picked up the bucket with one hand and poured it back again.

"Uncle, you are ......"

"No, you don't." The man shook his head, looked at Hua Yan and said, "The mountain road is dangerous, don't come alone to fetch water." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Hua Yan to speak, he turned around and went up the mountain again.

Looking at the man's back, Hua Yan's heart warmed.

Although the other party's appearance looks fierce and vicious, and the tone of his voice is cold and silent, but in this case, he is willing to take the risk of carrying water down the mountain for others, and refuses when he takes the initiative to divide the water, which is really rare.

Hua Yan hurriedly said a few words of thank you loudly, until the man's figure disappeared, and then he began to walk home with the bucket.

Because he was already at the bottom of the mountain, he was afraid that Hua Qingshan would turn back, so Hua Yan had no use space.

Sure enough, because of the man's affairs delayed the speed of going down the mountain, Hua Qingshan turned back more than Hua Yan expected, and after walking a distance, he saw Hua Qingshan coming from a distance.

When Hua Qingshan was about to get home, he realized that something was wrong. It is suspected that his daughter didn't want him to fetch water, so she deliberately supported him down the mountain.

But although he was suspicious, just in case, he still took the only two small nests left from home, and then hurried over.

Now seeing Hua Yan carrying water, she was even more shocked into a cold sweat, until Hua Yan repeatedly explained that the water was carried down with the help of others, which eased her face slightly, and the father and daughter carried the water home together.

Xia and the others were in the courtyard, and when they saw Hua Yan and them from a distance, they hurriedly stepped forward to take the bucket instead of Hua Yan.

Worried about his daughter-in-law's blame, Hua Qingshan immediately said the source of the bucket of water, and Xia finally showed a smile.

The family of three happily returned home.

As soon as she pushed the door into the small courtyard, Hua Yan saw Song Yu in the courtyard at a glance.

Although it's just a back, it still makes people stunned.

In addition to Uncle Hua's family, who has been separated, and his grandmother, Mrs. Hua, there are five people in the Hua family.

The original owner has a younger brother who is only eight years old this year, called Huajing.

And at this moment, Song Yu, who is in a wheelchair, is the adopted son of Hua Qingshan four years ago.

At that time, Song Yu was only thirteen years old, broke his legs, passed out at the foot of the mountain and was found and rescued by Hua Qingshan, and after waking up, he almost didn't remember anything except his name.

Hua Qingshan couldn't bear it, so he took him as a righteous son and stayed. Since two years ago, Song Yu has been going to the town in a wheelchair every day to write letters and copy for others.

From then on, he had to eat at home in the morning and evening, and at noon he was in the town to settle things by himself.

Although the situation in the town is not as serious as in the village, it has still been affected a lot, I don't know how Song Yu did it, and now in this situation, he can still earn some money back every month to buy food.

And Hua Jing has always liked this big brother, since half a year ago, he has followed Song Yu to go to the town early and return late every day, and by the way, he followed him to read and write.

Although he has the memory of the original owner and knows that Song Yu is very good, but at this moment, looking at Song Yu in the simple courtyard, sitting on the edge of the wooden table with a missing leg and cushioned with bricks and stones, Hua Yan still feels that regardless of his appearance, just the temperament of his body seems to naturally carry a barrier, which is cold and tight, isolating the people in the wheelchair from everything around him, and not being infected by half of it.

Hearing the movement behind him, Song Yu turned around with a wheelchair and called with a smile.

"Godfather, godmother."

As soon as the clear voice came out, Hua Yan suddenly felt that the barrier just now seemed to disappear all at once.

The sword eyebrows and starry eyes are handsome, and the handsome people can't take their eyes off it, and there is a gentleness around the body, which makes people feel very close.

Was it just my own delusion?

The thought that came to mind, almost instantly, was rejected by Hua Yan again.

It's not so much that she was wrong just now, but that Song Yu deliberately restrained that coldness.

Sensing Hua Yan's gaze, Song Yu turned his head slightly and looked at her.

Hua Yan smiled unhurriedly and nodded, "Big brother." ”

"It's really strange that you girl is willing to call big brother today."

Xia Shi helped Hua Qingshan to sit down and spoke unexpectedly.

Hua Yan just smiled, and then went into the house to help get the dishes and chopsticks.

The original owner doesn't seem to like this righteous brother for no reason, and he doesn't pay attention to it on weekdays.

However, Song Yu's appearance, coupled with the feeling just now, really doesn't look like an ordinary person, so it's better not to offend.

Take 10,000 steps back and say, people are still earning money every day in wheelchairs, and a lot of the rations they eat are due to Song Yu. In this case, a cold face is relatively natural.

Dinner was placed in the yard, a pot of brown rice porridge, two small plates of wild vegetables, and two wowotou that Hua Yan had just taken out, it was all.

But apparently, the family is used to it, and happily, everyone has a large bowl of water in front of them.

Hua Jing picked up the bowl and drank most of the bowl at once, and her soft face was full of satisfaction.

I heard that this water also has the credit of Huayan, and Huajing is even more like smearing honey on her mouth, and she praised her sister.

The sweet-mouthed cute baby is naturally pleasing, and Hua Yan immediately fell in love with this cheap brother.

And Song Yu just smiled gently, and didn't talk much at the dinner table.

Hua Yan didn't take the initiative to talk to the other party, after all, the attitude changed too quickly, which was inevitably strange.

After a meal, Hua Jing was very satisfied, but Hua Yan noticed that Xia and Hua Qingshan had not drunk a sip of the water in front of them.

Hua Yan understood that they were worried that there would not be enough water, so they wanted to save some.

After all, in this situation, water is more expensive than food.

The people in the village went to bed early, and after the family finished eating, they simply cleaned up and rested early.

Hua Yan lay on the bed and waited until midnight, estimating that everyone should be asleep, so she walked out of the room lightly......
