Chapter 70: Staying at the Flower House
At this time, I heard the voice of a child playing and coaxing not far ahead: "Little demon girl, red head, the earth is shaking and doing bad things-"
Ula quacked and said, "It must be those children who are bullying the young lady." Childe, do you remember the two children you saved in the tornado?
"yes, that's what I thought of too. Because of the scar on the girl's forehead, and the fact that she called her brother Huaqi... But," Peony Yong said with some doubts, "Why did they come to Jiangnan?" and that girl should be called Hua Yin, and it seems that she also has some magical powers, so it's not strange." β
Ula quacked and guessed: "Maybe it has something to do with you saving her? Shall we go over and have a look?"
"Good. Peony Yong agreed, and walked along the riverbank with Ula Quaqua for a while.
Turning a bend, I saw a group of children blocking the sister and brother in the middle of a small bridge, jumping around and coaxing.
The little girl took her brother's hand and protected him, rushing left and right, and the other children struck them with stones and retreated, as if no one dared to come near them to fight. The group of children slowly moved under the bridge.
Seeing that Ula's legs were not very neat, Peony Yong took out the bag of 'Miaozi' in his sleeve and handed it to him: "You still wait here, I'll go over and help them get out of the siege." β
At this moment, I suddenly heard the cry of a child. It turned out to be the head of the group of children, a boy named Gatou, who took advantage of the sister's slight negligence and pulled the younger brother out of the sister's protection, while the other children took the opportunity to rush up and push the girl.
In the midst of the chaos, Peony Yong hurriedly stepped onto the stone bridge and shouted: "Stop!
The group of children suddenly saw a young man in white standing on the bridge and shouted angrily, which had never happened before, so they all let go of their hands and ran away. Running into the distance, they all stopped and looked at this side.
Hua Yin and Hua Qi stood under the small bridge, looking up at this young man who had never met before, but was helping him, they all looked timid, and they didn't know what to say. For them, this is an unprecedented event, and they don't know what to do with it for a while.
Peony Yong walked off the bridge and asked, "Did you break anything?"
Hua Yin looked down at his little brother carefully, patted the dust on his body for him and said, "It's okay." No. Thank you to the father-in-law and son-in-law for saving each other. β
Peony said: "It's good if you don't have it." Then hurry home. With that, he returned to the bridge to join Ula Quaqua.
However, after taking two steps, he stood up again, turned around and walked back to the sister and brother, and asked, "Your name is Huayin, isn't it? I have a companion who broke his leg, can I help get something to eat?"
The little girl Hua Yin stared at Peony Yong with two bright black eyes, and nodded heavily. I don't know why, she has an indescribable affection for this person in her heart. This kind of good feeling is not only because of the righteous rescue he just had, but also a kind of cordial closeness from the bottom of his heart, and it is an innate feeling that is not strange.
Just now, when she saw him turn away, she was very disappointed in her eyes, but she didn't know how to express it, and now she saw him begging for help, as if a flower had suddenly bloomed, which was called a happy one.
The excitement in her heart made her mouth a little dry, she swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said, "My house is not far ahead." Childe, can you and your partner come home with me?"
Hua Yin knew that her father and mother would definitely not object to her doing this. Because her mother has always told her and her younger brother that they must know how to be grateful and reciprocate, and they must learn to help those in need, which is the foundation of being a human being. What's more, people have just helped themselves.
Peony Yong thought about it and nodded in agreement. In this wilderness, there is no better choice for the time being.
At this time, I saw Ula limping over.
Peony Yong walked back to him, told him about the situation, and the two of them walked to Hua's house with the young lady and his brother.
They went north along the Horn River, and when they turned a bay, they saw a thatched house, perched alone on a slope not far from the riverbank. The courtyard is surrounded by a fence made of bamboo grates, covered with roses and grapevines, and the pillars of the small courtyard gate and the herringbone shed are covered with blooming honeysuckle.
The Hua family's house was obviously far away from the rest of the scattered houses. Peony Yong asked: "Huayin, why don't your family live with other families in Tunli? It's also safer and take care of each other." β
"We are not locals, we only moved here three years ago because our hometown was at war. The people here ... It's a bit of a bully. β
Hearing her say this, Peony Yong and Ula Quack glanced at each other, and their doubts were solved. In this way, it is not surprising that they are here.
Ula quacked and said, "Little sister Huayin, you are not very old, but you are very brave." β
The little girl's face turned red, and she was a little embarrassed and said, "It's all forced out." My brother and I were often bullied by them, and they always called me Banshee Sister because I had a red scar on my forehead. β
When Hua Qi heard them praise her sister, she was not to be outdone and said, "Brother, I am also brave! When I grow up, beat them." Hit hard!" he waved his little fist in righteous indignation.
Peony Yong touched his little brain melon with his hand and said, "Good job! Hua Qi, like a man!"
This little baby he saved in the tornado, now he can speak in a good way. However, he never thought that his thoughts at that time would have such a result today. I didn't expect it to bring such a big disaster to the life of the little girl. He couldn't help but let out a sullen breath, which shows that the sky is really certain, and the cause and effect are unpredictable.
When she was about to arrive at the door, Xiaohuaqi ran in first, and shouted in the yard: "Dad, mother, someone is here in our houseββγ β
The flower mother walked out of the house when she heard the sound, and she thought the children were playing. Because in the past few years, there have never been guests at home.
Unexpectedly, when she walked out of the door with a smile, she really saw two well-dressed teenagers walking in with their daughter. And the boy in black pants seems to have injured his leg.
This woman is a person who has seen the world, and she can see at a glance that these two teenagers are by no means the children of ordinary gateway families. Although it was a little surprising to suddenly see them in this remote ravine, she didn't think it was strange. Because of the eruption of the Wangbashan volcano in the past two days, I don't know how many families will be displaced and homeless because of this. Maybe the families of these two children have encountered some difficulties.
The flower mother raised a smile, stood at the door of the house and wiped her hands with an apron, and said, "There are really two little guests, come into the house quickly." It's noon, are you hungry? I just steamed the bun and stewed the vegetables. Come on, come on, kids, come in and sit and eat together. She said enthusiastically, and as soon as she let everyone to the dinner table.
Peony Yong and Ula thanked each other and sat down unceremoniously.
Hua Yin obediently went to get a clay pot, and brought half a basin of water from the gourd scoop from the water tank, and asked the two guests, brother and younger brother Hua Qi, to clean their hands, and she also introduced to her mother without idleness: "Mother, just now they bullied me and my brother again, and it was this brother who helped drive them away." β
The Mother of Flowers, who was picking up steamed buns from the bamboo basket by the fire, stopped when she heard this, and said in a reproachful tone, "Didn't you tell you to hide from them---??
When Peony Yong heard this, he hurriedly explained: "Auntie, don't get me wrong. Ula's leg was not injured in a fight, he was stoned when the volcano erupted. I'm sorry I forgot to introduce ourselves: my name is Ayon and his name is Ula. We went to Lihua Town, which is more than 100 miles away from here, to visit relatives. Last night on the way, unfortunately, a volcanic eruption, Ulla's leg was accidentally injured by a stone. I happened to walk here today, and I saw a group of children bullying Hua Yin and Hua Qi, so I scared them away, but it didn't help much. β
Hua Yin pouted on the side, and muttered unconvinced: "Mother, look at what you said, when did we want to fight with whom, but where can we hide, they always try to find us to find fault and fight, you still don't let me do it, can only be beaten by them?"
The flower mother carried a steaming basket full of steaming two and noodle buns and put them on the dining table. Then he cordially said to Peony Yong and Ula Quack: "Then I have to thank you." My two kids are in this place - alas! Come, Ayon, Ulla, take your own hands and eat the buns. It really makes you laugh. β
Peony Yong said: "What did Auntie say, the children here bully people, and it is not a way to let the children hide and not fight back." β
The flower mother sighed and said, "Alas, it's really hard to say. Okay, you're hungry, eat quickly, and I'll serve you food. β
At this time, Hua Yin went out with a basin of water, splashed the water on the ground in the yard, and went back to the house to serve food in front of the stove.
Ula Quack stretched out his hand to get the bun, he did feel hungry, but he was glared at by Peony Yong, his arm stretched out and stiffened, and then he took it back in a sneer.
Hua Mu and Hua Yin each brought two bowls of vegetables, and when they saw that Hua Qi was eating steamed buns among the three boys, they said, "Hey, why don't you do it? Now the vegetables are here, let's eat them quickly." β
Peony Yong stood up and reached out to take a bowl of vegetables, and said, "Wait for aunt and uncle to eat together." β
The flower mother looked at Peony Yong fondly and said, "Good boy, you eat first." Your uncle is not in good health, so I made another meal that he could eat and brought him into the back room to eat. You're welcome. Eat it. β
Peony Yong promised, "Oh, okay. After sitting down, he glanced meaningfully at Ulla, and Ulla smiled silently, he knew what the little prince was thinking. It must be the right time again! This 'Lotus Divine Bead' has a place to use again. Hey.
At the dinner table, the four children happily enjoyed the pleasure of food and at the same time, they were happy to meet new friends.
I think that when Peony Yong and Ula Quaqua rescued the two sisters and brothers from the Wind Demon, they were still so young, and they have grown up a lot in the past three years. Now watching them eat and talk face to face, the two teenagers in the Flower Fairy Realm feel very novel and interesting.
And the two young brothers of the Hua family, it is the first time in their lives to invite someone else at home, and they are new friends they have just met, and they also have the kindness to help them fight, their careful eyes are full of emotion, gratitude, novelty and excitement.
This meal, although the meals are all ordinary food at home, but for Peony Yong and Ula Quagua, this is the most delicious, comfortable, and delicious meal they have ever eaten in the mortal world.
Xiao Huaqi said vaguely while eating: "Brother, you can live in my house." β
Peony Yong smiled and looked at the cute cuteness of this tiger-headed little boy, and just smiled.
Hua Yin also said with anticipation: "Yes, you can stay at my house for a few days to recuperate." Brother Ula's leg seems to be very painful, so let's go after healing. β
At this time, the flower mother was waiting for her husband to eat, and was walking out with an empty bowl, when she heard the sincere invitation from her child, she stood at the table with a smile and said, "Yes, this will hurt the bones for a hundred days." You are young and don't know how bad, no matter how you say it, you have to raise it for a few days, don't leave yourself disabled. If you don't like the simplicity of this place, stay there. β
She has a good impression of these two children in her heart, but she feels that the family background of these two children must be unusual, for fear that her home is too simple and will make them dislike it.
Ula said sincerely, "Thank you, Auntie. Our family has ancestral medical skills, so we can rest for a day or two. β
When Peony Yong heard Ula Quack's words, he looked at him with a smile.
Ula was eating with vegetables in a big way, ignoring him, but said in his heart: "Hehe, little prince, isn't this what you want to say?"
Seeing the suspicious eyes of the flower mother, Peony Yong said, "Aunt Hua, what Ulla said is true. The Ullah family has practiced medicine for generations, and there are ancestral secret recipes to cure all diseases. Thank you for keeping it sincerely, Ulla, then we might as well be respectful, right?" he winked at him for fear that Ulla would not agree.
Ula pretended not to see it, but said, "Thank you Auntie for your kindnessβif it's convenient, I'll bother in the house for a few days." β
"Convenient! convenient!" Hua Qi jumped to her feet with joy on the side, and Hua Yin's little face was as beautiful as a flower.
The flower mother touched her son's round head and said with a smile, "Okay, okay." There is no inconvenience. Just stay. β
Peony Yong and Ula Qua lived in Hua's house.
