Chapter 210: Go to the market with the old woman
After crossing the mountains, Gu Liuxi and the others came to a small village, which was already the border area of the Cangyue Empire, although the Cangyue Empire was an ally with the neighboring Sunset Empire, but some unsatisfactory things often happened in the border.
Before entering the Sunset Empire, Gu Liuxi and the others decided to stay in this small village for a few days, and wait for the good news before making the next move.
Because of what happened that night, Gu Liuxi had ignored Xiao Ran for several days, and at this moment, Xiao Ran seemed to have become an abandoned child, with a pitiful look, and those watery eyes seemed to be regretting and hoping for her forgiveness.
Whenever faced with Xiao Ran's pitiful gaze, Gu Liuxi always ruthlessly looked away and completely ignored the pitiful gaze.
Xiao Ran was like a child who had done something wrong, and he followed Gu Liuxi until Gu Liuxi returned to the room, closed the door, and he stood alone in front of the door.
When Chi Heng walked in, he saw Xiao Ran standing pitifully alone in front of the door, with his head lowered, looking pitiful.
Chi Heng glanced at Xiao Ran, couldn't help but shake his head, walked in front of Xiao Ran, stretched out his hand and touched his little head, and pretended to be inadvertent: "Why are you standing here and not going in?" ”
Xiao Ran raised his eyes, and after glancing at Chi Heng with those eyes as clear as water, Chu Chu's pitiful eyes seemed to tell him that Ma Ma was still angry, and then lowered his eyes silently.
These two people, really, are both temperamental.
Chi Heng knocked on the door, "Xiaoxi, are you asleep?" I didn't sleep, I went in. ”
"Come in!" Gu Liuxi answered inside.
Chi Heng pushed open the door and walked in, but instead of closing the door casually, he deliberately left the door open.
Gu Liuxi naturally saw it, but she just didn't see it, Chi Heng's behavior, she didn't understand, it's just that she is still struggling with it now...
The events of that night are still vivid, and they have cast a shadow on her psyche.
In the past few days, she knew that Xiao Ran was begging for her forgiveness, not that she didn't see it, but she didn't know how to accept it.
He was hungry, but he ate a tiger, so what about the future! Will he eat everyone, is it right or wrong that they take him on their way like this?
In the past few days, she has been thinking about this matter very seriously, and she has also thought about giving up on him and sending him back to Mao Lin and Mao Wei.
However, every time he came into contact with Xiao Ran's childlike innocent eyes, he hesitated.
Chi Heng walked to Gu Liuxi's side, there was a vegetable garden outside the window, and it was green at a glance, because he was living in a family in a small village, the house was an ordinary low bungalow, and he could see the outside at a glance from the window.
"It's been so many days, and I'm still angry! Children, they are not sensible, they often make mistakes, you see these days, he is very well-behaved and obedient, you forgive him this time! After this incident, he didn't dare to do that again, I and Yinci have educated him, and he also promised that we will not be like this in the future, you see that he has admitted his mistake so sincerely in the past few days, you! Just ignore him! Otherwise, he'll probably stand in front of your door for the night. ”
I don't know who this child's temper is like, as strong as a cow, if it weren't for the fact that there was no blood relationship between them, they would definitely think that they were a family.
No matter how good Chi Heng said all the good things, Gu Liuxi was unmoved, not because she was hard-hearted, but because Xiao Ran's behavior made her unable to let go, which was unacceptable to normal human beings.
With a little monster who eats raw meat, her life is always worried, and one day he will eat her too.
Gu Liuxi finally sighed, turned around and went out of the door and said to the little man standing outside the door, "Come in!" ”
Xiao Ran raised his head, his eyes showed a surprised expression, and he stammered and shouted, "Ma... "This is when they are on the road together, Gu Liuxi pretends to be his parents in order to hide people's eyes and ears and Yinci.
Gu Liuxi originally taught him to call his mother, but the little guy shouted Ma Ma, and how to teach him to pronounce it was Ma Ma... She's still a bean!
"It's Mommy." Gu Liuxi corrected his pronunciation again.
The little guy's bulging eyes looked at her, and he shouted weakly, "Ma Ma..."
All right! Ma Ma is good for Ma Ma, at least better than Ma Ma!
Gu Liuxi first asked him to come in and sit down, and made an appointment with him for three chapters.
First: You can't hurt humans anytime and anywhere.
Second: Don't eat any raw meat in her absence.
Third: You must always listen to Him.
If you can't do it, send him back.
Regarding the three chapters of Gu Liuxi's agreement with him, Xiao Ran almost didn't know anything about it, anyway, he couldn't disobey what Ma Ma said in the future.
After so many days of gloom, the rain finally cleared up, and the atmosphere was too good to be good.
On the second day, Gu Liuxi got up early, and the family that took them in was an old couple over half a hundred years old, the couple had no children all their lives, and they made wine for a living, and packed wine early every morning and sent it to a nearby tavern, living a poor life, but the couple were very kind.
Not only do they not charge any money for living here, but they also provide them with three meals a day for free.
Gu Liuxi received such a favor for no reason, and he felt a little unhappy in his heart, so he pulled two big men, Yinci and Chi Heng, to help the old man work early in the morning.
The old man made a lot of wine, all kinds of wine, and some fruit wine suitable for children and women.
The fruit wine is very mellow, and I don't know how the old man made it, I have a desire to drink it when I smell it, and I seem to know Gu Liuxi's thoughts, the old woman opened a wine jar, scratched a spoon with a big spoon, and said kindly: "Girl, come and drink and see, how is it, this wine!" It's been more than three months now, and it's just right to drink it at this time..."
Gu Liuxi added her lips, she really wanted to drink it, seeing that the old woman was so enthusiastic, she couldn't refuse, so she took a small sip with a spoon.
This wine is not as spicy as the usual wine, like fruit wine, sweet and has some wine taste, it tastes very good, she can't help but drink a few more sips, and then praises: "Mother-in-law, this wine is so delicious." "There is the smell of oranges, the smell of strawberries, and the feeling of a lot of fruit mixed together.
Seeing that Gu Liuxi was drinking happily, Xiao Ran also came up, "Ma Ma...... Wo, also waist and ......"
"No, children can't drink."
Seeing this, the old woman said: "It's okay, it's okay, this wine is not intoxicating, you smell some wine, inside!" There is no wine at all, pure natural fruit wine, drinking it is good for the body, it will not be harmful to the body, since Xiao Ran likes it, let him taste it! ”
The old woman said so, Gu Liuxi couldn't give it anymore, but she only gave him a small sip.
The old woman saw that this child was so cute, and when Gu Liuxi was not paying attention, she secretly let Xiao Ran take a few sips, in fact, Gu Liuxi saw it, and this old and young thought she didn't see it!
However, seeing that the old woman liked Xiao Ran so much, she could only smile.
After a while, Yinci and Chi Heng helped the old man load all the wine onto the rickshaw, dozens of jars of wine, usually the old man and the old woman pushed them to the market, and now with the help of two sturdy young men, Yinci and Chi Heng, half of the time is missing.
Gu Liuxi suddenly came to the market, and wanted to go to the market with the old man and the old woman, anyway, they haven't gone around to see it when they come here, so they just help the old man and the old woman send the wine to the market, look at this full cart of wine, how hard it is for the old man to pull the car alone!
Gu Liuxi wanted to go to the market to play, the old man and the old woman were naturally happy, Yinci also personally acted as a coachman, pulling the cart for the old man, and the old man and the old woman followed behind to help push the cart, in fact, this little bit of strength was insignificant for Yinci, but the old man often called him to stop and rest for a while, and then leave, Yinci couldn't directly say that he was not tired at all, so he could only take turns with Chi Heng to pull the car.
Xiao Ran was put on top of the wine by Gu Liuxi, she was afraid that walking so many miles would tire him, so she put him directly in the car.
They went to the market as if they were a family.
They arrived at the bazaar very early, several hours faster than the old man pulling the cart himself.
The so-called bazaar is the handover place between the Cangyue Empire and the Sunset Empire, and there are often people from all walks of life who want to pass through here, so the bazaar is very lively, and there are people coming and going.
In the past, because of Yinci, Chi Heng, and Xiao Ran's identities, they all walked on some mountain roads, Xiao Ran naturally had never seen so many people, and he was very excited for a while, this was the most people he had ever seen.
Seeing so many people, he sniffed hard, as if he smelled the fragrance of meat, his teeth rubbed up and down silently, looking at the various humans walking by, his eyes showed hunger and thirst, so hungry, so eager to eat meat.
As if sensing Xiao Ran's hungry gaze that fell on others, Yinci quietly picked up Xiao Ran, and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "Don't think about it, and don't see what others know?" If you do this again, your mother will be angry again. ”
Thinking that Ma Ma didn't like him like this, Xiao Ran couldn't help but shrink his neck in Yinci's arms, and covered his mouth with two small hands: "Baba, Wo Zai Yebu is feeling..."
Yinci touched his head kindly, "That's good, bear with it first, and when you buy wine for the old man and grandmother in a while, Dad will take you to eat good things, okay?" ”
"Uh-huh!" Xiao Ran nodded obediently, the child was drunk...
"What are you two doing in the back, hurry up and catch up, otherwise you will get lost when there are more people in a while." Gu Liuxi, who was walking in front, beckoned in their direction.
"Okay, we'll be right here."
Yinci hugged Xiao Ran and strode up.
