Chapter 43 Responsibilities and Obligations
"Auntie, this meal is so delicious, but I can't finish it alone, can my aunt promise me one thing......"
Li Le's expression is expecting Ai Ai.
'Qi' felt a lot of love and pity in his heart, touched Li Le's head, and said:
"What's not to say? Just say, if your aunt can do it, I will promise you! ”
Li Le frowned slightly uncomfortably, but glanced at the old man behind the woman who raised his white eyebrows slightly, and a smile flashed in his eyes.
Want to trick me?
She pursed her lips and said, "The eldest brother patrols so late, he must not have eaten when he comes back, I want to bring the food back to the eldest brother..."
The smile on the woman's face became even stronger, and there was a suspicious reddish on her face.
"What's the matter? Auntie will give it to you, you can take it all back! ”
Li Le smiled, his eyes slightly curved, and said: "Thank you, auntie, today the eldest brother told me that if you want me to refine my muscles and bones, I have to go back early, can I come back another day?" ”
As he spoke, Li Le carefully looked at the woman's face.
Fortunately, the woman was not suspicious, but there was some pity on her face, but she still spoke:
"It's important to temper your body, then 'Le' go back first, remember to come to my aunt's place another day to have a look, and my aunt will make you something to eat when she arrives."
Li Qiangyan smiled and laughed: "......"
Okay, you know, next time you come to avoid meals.
Behind him, the elder sat on a chair with a cane, and he looked at the forced smile of the cub in front of him, and there was a real smile on his wrinkled face.
What a clever little guy.
Li Le looked at Ou Lao's teasing eyes, and couldn't help but roll his eyes quietly.
Unconsciously, the rustiness in Li Le's heart and the majestic image of the old man melted away.
"Auntie will fold an oily leather bag for you, you can take it back with you later, go back and eat more, don't starve yourself......"
'Qi' took a few pieces of oilskin paper, folded the oilskin paper in three or two, and in a few clicks turned a few pieces of oilskin paper into a standing kraft paper bag.
She put the rice in it, pressed it vigorously with a wooden spoon, and made sure that the bag couldn't fit anymore, so she tied the rope and handed it to Li Le.
Start with a slight sink.
Li Le's right eye jumped.
“… Thank you, Auntie! ”
She smiled with a tense expression.
"It's okay..."The woman touched Li Le's head, lowered her eyes, as if thinking for a while, glanced at Li Le and muttered:
"That's right... After a few days, when the white district chief is not at home, if you feel bored... You can come here to play, grandpa and I are at home, you can come to us if you have anything..."
Will Brother Bai be away from home in a few days?
Where to go?
A shadow hung over Li Le's heart.
Her heart jumped, the thoughts in her heart turned, she barely controlled her expression, and said:
"Okay aunt, I know, then I'll go back first? I guess the eldest brother is waiting for me at home now! ”
As if seeing the anxious look in the woman's heart, the woman sighed, didn't say anything, but said:
"Okay, let's go back first."
Where is Li Le still in the mood to pay attention to these now, so he hurriedly turned his head and rushed out of the house.
As soon as I went out, I turned my head and saw a big man enter the wooden house, looking dusty, with a thick brow slightly furrowed.
Li Le's footsteps were hurried, he didn't look too much, glanced at the man, and walked back along the road.
In the distance, the voice of the woman in the wooden house could be heard, it was the voice of 'Qi', and she called the man 'wind'.
Li Le was in a bad mood, but he felt that a certain fear he had always had seemed to be embodied as reality.
A speculation that was forcibly suppressed by Li Le slowly came to Li Le's heart.
If that's what she guessed......
Brother Bai is afraid that he will be out of the city in a few days!
Li Le gritted his teeth, and the palms under the wide gray sleeved robe oozed a little sweat, a little sticky.
Again, the slight increase in faith didn't even take much away from her.
Along the way, Li Le hurriedly walked towards her wooden house according to the route, and it was only a cup of tea in total, but she was out of breath when she walked.
The inside of the house was glowing, and through the windows, you could see the light yellow and bright light in the room.
For some reason, she didn't take Tuan Tuan with her before going out today, but left it in the room to rest.
And now that it glows steadily and brightly, it is clear that Brother Bai has returned.
Brother Bai didn't leave today...
Li Le breathed a sigh of relief, but then his face became solemn again.
She pursed the corners of her lips, no longer hesitating. turned his head and pushed the door in, and sure enough, he saw Brother Bai's familiar figure.
Brother Bai was standing next to a huge wooden barrel, steaming, he took the can of bone meal and poured something into the bucket.
Hearing the sound of hurried footsteps, Brother Bai's ears moved, and he turned his head to look at Li Le's somewhat difficult expression.
He was stunned, his cold and hard face fused a little, his sharp dark eyes were a little confused, and he said:
"'Le', what's wrong? Who is bullying you? ”
It's no wonder that Brother Bai thinks so, the main reason is that Li Le's face is a little heavy and scary now, and he doesn't smile with a gentle and intimate smile like usual.
Panting, his eyes were a little red, as if he was running back in a hurry.
Tuan Tuan on the table next to him also tilted his head and squeaked twice.
Li Le slowly breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head and closed the door neatly, looked at Brother Bai, and said directly:
"Brother Bai, are you going to go out of the city to 'hunt' in two days?"
It was also a habitual mistake that she made thinking that the last time she went out of the city to hunt was in the second district, so when it was the turn of the thirteenth district, she would definitely have to wait in line for a long time.
At the very least, it will take seven or eight months to get his turn, so Li Le subconsciously ignored this possibility before.
But today's words made her realize a little in an instant: Who stipulates that when you go out hunting, you must come by serial number?
A hint of surprise flashed in Brother Bai's eyes, he nodded, and said, "Yes, when the second district went out, there was an emergency and it couldn't be handled, and it needed assistance from the thirteenth district." ”
Brother Bai's voice was very ordinary, as if he had long been used to this kind of thing.
Li Le gritted his teeth and put the sentence in his throat, 'Can you not go?' I swallowed it hard.
With responsibility comes obligation, as a district head, how can he retreat at this time?
Saying this can only make you look too weak and stupid.
