Chapter 31: The Old Woman
"Whew-"
Hua Shi came down from the winding mountain road, passing by a thorny grass at the foot of the mountain, and suddenly heard a muffled sound.
Immediately after that, the sound of a heavy object rolling off one side attracts the attention of Hanatoki.
"Bang ......"
"Ah......h
With a few muffled sounds, accompanied by a scream, Hua Shi hurried in the direction where the sound came from.
The sound was like someone who had fallen down the slope and rolled down......
"Ouch......! Someone's coming...... Is there anyone ......"
Sure enough, after a while, there was a hoarse cry for help from the bushes.
When he hurriedly pushed aside the dense grass, he saw an old woman lying in the grass, holding her head and struggling to get up.
The old woman, who heard the sound of the coming voice, looked up, and her old and cloudy eyes widened slightly after seeing the girl in front of her, and the sound of pain and howling stopped abruptly.
Hua Shi didn't notice the slight change in the expression on her face, hurriedly stepped forward, asked, and hurriedly helped the person from the grass to sit up.
When they were seated, they raised their eyes and met the old woman's gaze.
After realizing it, I found that the old woman's eyes seemed to be a little strange, and she couldn't describe the feeling......
The old woman looked at her and said in an inexplicably loving tone, "Thank you, little girl, what is your name?" ”
"My name is Hanashi." Hua Shi responded, and the tense emotions just now were slightly relaxed.
Fortunately, it didn't hurt the vital point, as if his head had been knocked and his forehead was red and swollen.
The old woman was about fifty or sixty years old, neatly dressed, with white hair in a bun and pinned to the back of her head in an orderly manner, and her hands were stretched out to pat the back of her hands, and her nails were trimmed clean, and there was no black mud.
From her clothes to her speech and demeanor, it can be seen that the old woman in front of her is a refreshing and neat person.
The old woman burst out laughing, squinting at the corners of her wrinkled eyes, and looking at the flowers with more and more loving eyes.
The hoarse voice seemed to grind the sand, and it sounded in my ears, "It turned out to be Lianxin's good granddaughter, I haven't seen her for so many years, and she has grown so big." ”
Lotus Heart?
Hua Shi was suspicious, looked at the old woman who was about the same age as the Li family, and quickly reacted that the lotus heart in her mouth was the Li family.
Outside the neighborhood, everyone only calls Li, Mrs. Li, and Aunt Li, but few people will call Li's real name, Li Lianxin.
The old woman smiled again as if she saw the puzzled look on her face, and explained patiently and good-naturedly,
"You may not remember me, when you were a child, I hugged you, hehe...... I'm a good friend of your grandmother, a friend of Kim Ranh."
At this, the old woman paused, her eyes seemed a little ethereal, and when she looked at the flowers, her eyes drifted away, as if she was looking at something through her.
Hua Shi felt a chill down her spine when she saw it, thinking that she was looking at something behind her, and then looked back at her back.
Except for a large dense forest, empty, nothing.
The old woman was attracted back to her senses by her gesture of turning her head, and her smile became deeper and deeper, "You can just call me Grandma Xie, don't be so rusty, thank you really this time, if you hadn't found me in time, my old woman would have died in this deep mountain and old forest, and no one would know......"
Xie babbled and patted the back of her hand lovingly.
Hua Shi couldn't stand her sudden kiss, smiled cheekily, and helped the person up from the ground.
"Are you hurt anywhere else?" Hua Shi looked at her swollen forehead and carefully helped the person to her feet.
"Ouch...... My feet seem to be twisted. Xie Shi screamed in pain, and the weight of the whole person was directly pressed on Hua Shi's body, bending over and covering his feet, and exclaimed again and again.
Hua Shi was taken by her and almost fell to the ground.
Obviously looking at the thin old woman, her strength was surprisingly great, and the hand on her shoulder was like a stone pressed on it, heavy.
Hua Shi was pressed by her to use all her strength to support it, and her face turned red, "What should I do then?" I don't think it's far from the foot of the mountain, why don't I carry you down the mountain? ”
As soon as Xie Shi heard this, he immediately nodded in agreement, and said with a smile, "That relationship is good, thank you, flower girl, I'm an old arm and old leg, this bump and bump, I have suffered from old sins......"
Hua Shi helped the person steady and bent down, Xie Shi was not polite, and jumped up directly, so that Hua Shi stumbled and almost didn't squat.
"Haha...... I'm sorry, flower girl, my wife and I often do farm work, and the strength on my body is a little bigger, and I can't control it. Xie Shi lay on her back and said.
Hua Shi smiled and accommodated and said that it was okay.
"Meow? Meow meow? ”
The black cat that had been following Hua Shi's side, when he saw Hua Shi, carried a stranger on his back, and circled around Hua Shi's calf several times.
Xie Shi also heard the cat's meow, only then did he notice the black cat at Hua Shi's feet, lowered his head and looked at it curiously several times, tilted his head sideways, carefully looked at Hua Shi's side face, and muttered to himself,
"It's so good-looking...... Really...... It's so big、..."
Xie Shi muttered a few words in his ear, and while walking, he had to pay attention to the black cat under his feet, for fear that he would not pay attention to it and step on it.
After walking down a long way, I was so tired that I was out of breath and out of breath......
The original owner didn't exercise much, didn't have to do farm work, was lazy to eat, and his physique was delicate. In addition, after she came, she was not a sportsman, so her physical fitness was naturally not much better.
She was a little surprised that she could grit her teeth and carry people on her back.
Xie Shi looks thin, but he is also a real adult, and it is not easy to carry it at all.
So Xie Shi muttered a few words in his ear, but he didn't hear a word clearly.
is probably tired from being afraid of flowers, and Xie has been talking to her all the time.
said that when she went up the mountain to pick tea, she took a detour and didn't recognize the road, so she got lost and walked here, her feet slipped, and she accidentally rolled downhill.
Fortunately, the arc of the slope is not large, and after rolling a few laps, it only slipped to the foot, and knocked on the forehead, but it is not too serious, and it can recover after going back to raise it for a month.
Xie Shi chattered about this, and from time to time asked about the recent situation of the Hua family like Hua Shi, but Hua Shi was so tired that he was panting, and he didn't answer her questions for a while.
However, Xie said a lot about the Li family.
From her mouth, Hua Shi finally learned that the Li family has often gone out to visit the door these days, and it is the Xie family, and the two old sisters seem to be busy after they are done, just simply, they get together to chat and talk in their spare time......
I don't know how long it took, but Hua Shi finally carried the old lady on his back and slowly moved to the foot of the mountain.
Put the person on a flat stone, sweat profusely when you spend it, and you are so tired that you are panting.
Sore arms, sore back, and sore legs......
The reason for the sore arm was that while she was carrying Xie Shi, she had to pick up her own small basket with four rabbits, which was obviously beyond her physical range.
Xie Shi took out a white handkerchief from his cuff and handed it to Hua Shi, his face was still kind and kind, "Wipe your sweat, it's hard work." ”
"Thank you." He didn't shirk it, took it and wiped the sweat from his face.
Xie Shi also saw her tired and prostration, and carried her from the slope to the foot of the mountain, saying that it was not long, and it was not short.
"Just leave me here, you go to Xie's house and call someone, and let the Xie family pick me up."
The foot of the mountain has already withdrawn from Lin Haishan, and there will be no other potential dangers, so it is okay for her to sit and wait for someone to carry it.
Hua Shi finally breathed a sigh of relief, and when he heard this, he was hesitating about the feasibility of this method.
Her legs are now shaking like soft-footed shrimps, and she continues to carry the person back on her back, and when the time comes, she doesn't stand firm and falls, and the person rolls over on her back, which is thankless.
Moreover, if it is sent to the foot of the mountain, it has indeed been avoided, and other poisonous snakes and beasts will emerge in the mountain, which is dangerous......
"...? How did you end up here? I'm going to look for you......"
Just as he was hesitating, not far from his ears, there was a sudden sound of footsteps, followed by a hesitant male voice.
One old and one young, all turned their heads to look.
Wipe the sweaty hands when you spend the time, pausing slightly.
