Carrying water is a path that winds and turns from the other side, and there used to be a few old ladies sitting by the well.

A few old people were originally babbling something, but when they saw two people walking in, they suddenly stopped moving, and several pairs of eyes squinted at them, if it was a long time ago, Lin Xiaowan would probably be nervous if she was looked at like this.

But now, she just looked up and looked back in a daze.

The old ladies probably didn't expect Lin Xiaowan to look at them directly, so they looked away, and then they drifted around and fell on Lin Qing, who was twisting the hemp rope and pouring water.

They didn't speak, but they exchanged glances with each other while looking at Lin Qing, which had a sense of indescribability.

Lin Xiaowan noticed that they seemed to be a little disdainful.

She felt it from the way she first entered the village, and most of the people here didn't seem to like Lin Qing very much, and they were quite critical of him.

Lin Xiaowan felt that Lin Qing's state was a little similar to when she was in Beicheng and lived at her grandmother's house.

She was also extremely unpopular there, and the old ladies of any family had to say a few words behind their backs when they saw her, but they did not dare to question her in front of her, and their eyes were like searchlights, staring at her from afar.

However, Lin Qing didn't seem to care about other people's attitudes.

He still didn't seem to have much mood swings, ignoring those chaotic sights, and turned his head to Lin Xiaowan while fetching water: "The well water here is very cold, if the weather is hot tomorrow, you can chill a few watermelons to eat." ”

Lin Xiaowan no longer looked at the old man sitting there, squatted down and looked at Lin Qing's bucket: "Can this water be drunk directly?" ”

Hot mineral water, should it look similar to this?

Lin Qing shook his head, and his tone was slightly regretful: "Ten or twenty years ago, it was okay, but now it's better not to." ”

Not only is the water different from the past, but people's gastrointestinal receptivity is also much more fragile, and it is easy to get sick by drinking raw water directly.

Lin Qing filled the two buckets, then weighed them one by one, squatted down and leaned sideways, and pressed the flat pole firmly on his shoulders with almost no effort, and the two buckets only fluctuated slightly, and did not spill water at all.

"Let's go. Went back. Lin Qing said.

"Hey, okay."

Lin Xiaowan was not honest when she walked, jumping and jumping, poking the flowers next to her for a while, and pulling the leaves on the side of the road for a while, and after walking a few steps, she suddenly realized: "The two of us have the same surname, both are Lin Ye, is your forest also the forest of Shuangmu?" ”

Lin Qing smiled slightly: "Yes." ”

Lin Xiaowan: "What a coincidence, maybe we were all one family five hundred years ago." ”

Thinking that when she came, she didn't see any shops selling fruits, so Lin Xiaowan asked again: "Do the shops in the village also sell fruits?" ”

She loves to eat fruits, especially in the summer, and when she sits there bored, she wants to eat something tender and juicy.

Lin Qing carried two buckets full of water, but his body was as light as a swallow, his steps were a step, he walked like he was flying, and the distance between his steps was also large, Lin Xiaowan had to walk quickly to keep up with him.

Even so, he spoke steadily, and his breathing was not chaotic at all: "I don't sell it, it's a watermelon I grew myself." ”

Hey? Lin Xiaowan carefully recalled the layout of his small courtyard again: "I didn't see any watermelons." ”

Lin Qing: "It's not in the yard, I have a fruit and vegetable garden at the back, and the vegetables and fruits I usually eat are grown by myself, if you like it, I can take you to have a look." ”

Lin Xiaowan was very interested: "Okay." ”

The two of them went back to the residence, Gu Yuwu was holding a camera to take pictures, and when he saw Lin Qing carrying water into the door, he quickly pressed the shutter.

There was a glimmer of light when he came in, and he threw it diagonally.

Gu Yuwu saw Lin Xiaowan follow the family into the kitchen all the way, and shouted: "Huo Er can't contact you, the phone call came to me, you are okay now, hurry up and call someone back." ”

Lin Xiaowan has no pockets on her body, and after getting out of the car, her mobile phone was placed in Gu Yuwu's bag, and now she was reminded that she had to ask someone for her mobile phone.

Gu Yuwu: "It's in the house, but the signal here is not good, and you may not be able to hear it clearly when you call, you can try it." ”

Lin Xiaowan went in to find her mobile phone and found that there was really only a poor signal on the line.

There were also two missed calls from Huo Zheng on the mobile phone screen, as well as several messages from him.

[Huo Zheng: Pay attention to your feet when walking, walk slowly when things are sinking, don't knock down. 】

[Huo Zheng: Call me first when you get to the place, do you know? 】

Then after a long time, seeing that Lin Xiaowan had not replied, Huo Zheng couldn't help but ask her first.

[Huo Zheng: Have you come to it? 】

Another fifteen minutes passed.

[Huo Zheng: Haven't arrived yet? 】

Later, maybe he contacted Gu Yuwu, but he didn't send another message to ask.

Lin Xiaowan first sent him a very cute "cat probe looking" emoji.

[Lin Xiaowan: I'm here. 】

But these two messages were not sent, and the buffer circle in front of the message turned around and turned, and it took a long time, and the words "I'm here" were sent over, but a red exclamation mark appeared in front of the emoji, and it failed to be sent.

I can see that the signal is very bad.

However, it doesn't matter whether the emoji is sent or not, Huo Zheng finally received a message from his reassuring little girlfriend, and immediately dialed back with a phone call.

The moment the familiar mobile phone number popped up, Lin Xiaowan immediately clicked on.

She "hey" and then frowned.

Huo Zheng's voice was intermittent, with the sound of electric current, she could only hear a few simple words, and she couldn't use these words to form sentences at all.

It was the first time Lin Xiaowan had encountered this situation, so she could only ask tentatively: "Can you hear me?" My new number is not good, I can't hear what you say. ”

She stood up and raised her arms and held her phone up, trying to make her voice clearer.

The signal grid is lit up again, but the call effect is still not improved.

Lin Xiaowan still couldn't hear what Huo Zheng was saying, so she had to continue to ask: "Can you hear what I'm talking about, the signal is too bad, I'll hang up first and send you a message?" ”

Alas, the news may not be able to be sent out yet.

Lin Xiaowan was afraid that she would hang up so directly, and the news could not be sent in time, Huo Zheng would be worried. You can only turn on the call first and then send him a message.

The sentence "The signal is not good, the phone is not audible" was repeatedly sent to both sides, and finally succeeded, and at the same time, the message sent by Huo Zheng just now was refreshed in the chat box.

Huo Zheng couldn't hear what Lin Xiaowan was talking about, so he could only send a message to ask.
