Chapter Twenty-Three: The Next Stop
After the Pink Scorpion's Inner Dan merged with my body, my wounds healed quickly.
I buried the bodies of Motoko and Gouko, and told his mother the news of Motoko's death.
After Yuanzi's mother knew what had happened, she didn't say a word at first, she was silent for a long time, and she said to herself: "After all, I have suffered retribution!" Yes! ”
Seeing the old lady enduring her grief, I had no choice but to leave silently.
I continued to chase south according to the clues given by nature.
Not to mention that since he had the Pink Scorpion's Neidan, he has walked much more lightly, and he has walked ten miles in one breath without panting.
Seeing that it was getting late, my stomach was now hungry and screaming.
"What does it smell like? It smells so good! ”
I sniffed the scent with my nose, maybe I was too hungry! Now everything looks like something to eat.
Smoke rose from the woods ahead, and I stood on tiptoe to watch.
"It's great to have a family, you can have a good rest tonight."
People are often like this, when they see hope, everything is not a problem.
I was hungry just now, but now I can run and jump, and I don't feel hungry at all.
Soon I was in front of the house, which was made of wooden planks and brushed with a layer of pine grease to prevent the planks from becoming mildewy when it rained on a cloudy day.
"Wow! For! For! ”
"Is anyone there?"
I asked excitedly, because I vaguely saw that the people inside were cooking!
"Squeak!"
The door of the house was opened, and out of it came a little girl, about six or seven years old!
The little girl's voice was very sweet and her appearance was also very cute, with two ponytails, and she said playfully: "Big sister, who are you looking for?" ”
I stepped forward, half-squatted in front of her and said, "Little sister, my sister is a passerby, now she is tired and hungry, and wants to rest at your house for a night, do you think it's okay?" ”
The little girl scratched her head and thought seriously.
"Beibei, who are you talking to?"
Then a woman came out of it, probably in her thirties, and when the little girl saw her come out, she ran over and said, "Mother, this big sister says that she is tired and hungry now, and wants to rest at our house for the night." ”
The little girl stared at me with two eyes after speaking.
The woman came up and looked at her, and then asked, "Where are you from?" ”
I kept an eye on it and didn't tell the woman what I was doing, so I smiled and said, "I'm from Ning County, and I'm going to Min County to find relatives." ”
Without thinking, the woman said, "Come in!" We had just finished cooking. ”
I smiled and asked the little girl, "Your name is Beibei?" ”
The little girl nodded vigorously, "Yes, what's your name?" ”
"My name is Ai'er, Liu Ai'er."
"My sister's name is so nice."
"Your name is nice too! And you're so cute! ”
Beibei's well-behaved and sensible appearance reminds me of me when I was a child, and I couldn't compare with Beibei at that time!
When I came to the house, it was very simple and neatly arranged, but it was because there were few things!
Seeing that the food on the table was still steaming, my stomach began to "growl" again.
Bei Bei asked curiously, "Mom, Mom, what is this sound?" ”
I looked at their mother and daughter embarrassedly, and said to Beibei with a smile: "Beibei, this is my sister's stomach screaming." ”
Bei Bei scratched the back of her head, pouted and said, "Will your stomach still bark?" Why was mine never called? ”
I almost didn't laugh out loud when I heard it, this little girl is so cute.
Quickly explained: "Beibei, you know what? Whenever you're hungry, it's going to scream.
Do you know why your stomach doesn't growl? ”
Bei Bei's eyes widened and asked, "Why?" ”
"That's because your mom never starved you, so your stomach never screamed!"
"Mom, is what the big sister said true?"
Bei Bei saw the woman nodding her head, and only then did she believe me.
"Okay Beibei, don't disturb the big sister eating, hurry up and let the big sister sit!"
As she spoke, the woman handed me a pair of chopsticks, and I took them and began to eat.
While eating, he asked, "Sister-in-law, where is Beibei's father?" ”
Judging by the woman's expression, I guess I was asking a question that I shouldn't have asked.
The woman's smile faded away, and there was a little more sadness on her face, and I guessed something might have happened.
Beibei, who was on the side, suddenly said: "My father went to work in other places, and he will come to pick us up when he earns a lot of money."
Mom, am I right? ”
Hearing her daughter's words, the woman quickly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, nodded and said, "Yes, yes." ”
Perhaps this is a white lie!
After eating, the woman secretly told me while Bei Bei was asleep: Her name is Sister Qiao, and she originally lived in the forest with her husband.
Since having her daughter Beibei, the family has become more joyful.
One day, when her husband Yunye went to the mountain to cut firewood, he never returned, and people nearby said that they saw his body at the foot of the mountain.
It is said that Yunye went up the mountain to chop firewood that day and saw many beautiful flowers, and he wanted to pick some back for his wife and daughter, but unfortunately the ground was slippery in the rain that night, and he accidentally fell down.
Since then, as long as Bei Bei asks where his father has gone, Sister Qiao will say that she has gone to work outside to earn money.
After talking too much, after talking for a long time, Bei Bei will believe it.
I couldn't help but sigh: "This may be love, just like being born with Ya'er, born to sacrifice everything for Ya'er, so Sister Qiao is willing to give everything for her daughter." ”
After a busy day, I finally lay in bed, thinking about what happened in the past few days, I can't help but feel a little chill in my back.
Thinking about it, I soon fell asleep.
In my dream, I saw my grandmother begging me, "Ai'er, you must get your brother back!" Grandma, please beg you, you must find it back. ”
And the old beggar told me, "Good boy, you must remember that although your eyes can see things that ordinary people cannot see, you can never see your back; You have to be on your guard at all times, remember, remember! ”
The last one was the strangest, because I only heard the sound, but I didn't know where it came from. "Sister, come on! Come to me! Why didn't you come to me? Sister, sister......"
"Brother, brother......"
I sat up abruptly from the bed and looked around at the darkness.
"Alas! Another nightmare. ”
When I turned my head, I was almost scared unconscious, it turned out that Bei Bei was sitting on the edge of the bed and staring at me, her eyes glazed and her movements slow.
