Chapter 197: A Bowl of Noodles in the World
Shu Shuang turned her head to look at Xia Xiao, she felt that the latter was more impatient than usual. Talking like this, will the girl follow her away? The girl is not a fuel-efficient lamp at first glance, Shu Shuang even thinks that she is the opposite of herself, she is gentle and quiet by nature, and the master teaches her to empathize, learn to be considerate of others, and feel sorry for others. But this girl is holding the puppy, and when she looks back, she is lively like a summer flower that has been thanked in autumn, and she is cheerful.
"Where are you going?"
The girl grew up in a small mountain village, and except for the three old people in the village, she rarely saw outsiders. But she was not timid, and she was not shy at all when she looked at Xia Xiao at this time, but the blood on their bodies was a little scary. Except for every time he kills a chicken, Ah Candle hasn't seen much blood.
Ah Candle's eyes were bright, but Xia Xiao frowned, a little bored. The fight was raging outside, but they didn't even know what was going on here, and they were really isolated from the world? But there were always people who were worried about it, especially the faculty members of the academy, who were too busy to drink water while resisting the onslaught of the beast forest, and were too busy to drink water.
"A place that is hard for wild beasts to tread. ”
"Aren't they in the past?"
"I'll be here again, call the whole village, and we'll leave now." ”
"No way. ”
The girl put down the puppy and touched its black nose, which caused it to jump around, like chasing butterflies in a field of golden rape flowers, which was very cute. She had no intention of leaving, and neither did the others.
"Grandma has bad legs and feet, and she can't leave the mountain village. ”
"Don't you have a carriage?"
Xia Xiao's breath dispersed, and he didn't find the carriage, but he found a novelty.
The cultivator could sense the surroundings with his vitality, and he could clearly feel that someone was cooking in the earthen tile house, and the hot smoke was about to come out as it rose down the chimney. But even if he sensed it so clearly, there was not the slightest shadow of the girl in front of him, she was hidden in place as if she had no breath, Xia Xiao was only five meters away from her, but she still couldn't feel it.
Shu Shuang also quickly noticed this, but the girl just shrugged her shoulders and signaled no. Her little yard was higher than the stream, and she had to walk a small step to get up, so how could she house the big guy with the horses? But she wouldn't go away without the horses? As long as the mind does not slip, there are always more ways than difficulties.
"Then pack up your things, I'll figure it out. ”
The girl looked at Xia Xiao and didn't understand why he was so serious. The tone was arrogant and firm, as if she was sprinkling.
"If we don't pack up, we're not going anywhere. ”
"Then wait for death!"
Xia Xiao's angry words made the girl feel energetic, she let out a long hey, walked up to Xia Xiao angrily, and stretched out her right index finger. Although she usually does a lot of farm work, the girl's slender fingers are still not rough, but this action makes Shu Shuang stunned in place. Can't she see that she is Shu Shuang's partner? Dare to be so close to Xia Xiao in front of her?
"Seeing that you are about the same age as me, don't pretend to be so old-fashioned. ”
Xia Xiao didn't bother to take care of her, and he didn't put aside her finger pointing at her, just walked into the house.
"What are you doing? You trespass on people's houses, you are shameless!"
Xia Xiao was helpless, but he couldn't do it, how could there be such an annoying person in the world?
Seeing Xia Xiao's expression and inadvertent emotions, Shu Shuang was finally relieved. This girl is very beautiful and attractive, but her brain is not very good. In Xia Xiao's words, he is big-chested and brainless!
"Call your adults out. ”
The girl stood in front of the door, raised her white chin, and looked like she was beating Xia Xiao to death.
"You don't want to scream, where did you come from?"
"Ning Theological Seminary. ”
The girl looked shocked and seemed to think it was incredible. Seeing it, Xia Xiao secretly snorted coldly, it's time to go, right? When he thought so much and wanted the girl to call out her own adult, she changed her complexion and clasped her hands under her skirt. The casual movement brought the skirt around the waist together, showing the thin waist that Shu Shuang was amazed by.
All girls have fears, such as their other half meeting a more beautiful being than themselves. Although Shu Shuang was very relieved about Xia Xiao and knew that he would not change his mind, he suddenly compared himself to the girl in front of him. She is about the same height as herself, but her figure is better than herself, and her waist and breasts are envious even if Shu Shuang is a girl. She originally thought that her figure was quite good, but she didn't think that this poor country would be able to compare with someone else. All of a sudden, the soothing cream was a little unpleasant.
"What academy? I haven't heard of it. ”
Xia Xiao was about to be angry, so he ignored her directly and shouted into the house.
"Hey, anyone?"
"Grandma is old, don't scream!"
The girl blamed, and was about to raise her finger to point at Xia Xiao, but Shu Shuang grabbed her wrist and pressed it.
"Don't move. ”
The girl has not yet cultivated, how can she be Shu Shuang's opponent? Even if she doesn't say it, the girl can't move. But the wrist was pressed, no matter how strong Shu Shuang's hand was, the girl did not hold back, but began to struggle.
"Ah Candle. ”
An old call came from the room, causing the girl to stop moving, and Shu Shuang let go of her hand. I saw that the old man who was hobbling was gray-haired, and his body was extremely rickety, and he couldn't stand steadily without the crutch in his hand. Seeing her walk out, the girl hurriedly went to help, extremely careful.
"Grandma, slow down. ”
This old lady who has reached Mi Shou is smiling and groaning, and her spirit is not bad. Although her old eyes were dizzy, she might have seen two people standing at the door, so she said very politely:
"Come in and sit!"
is so old, I can't urge it. Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang could only step into the threshold and watch the girl named Ah Candle help her grandmother take every step. She is a little fierce, and even a little unreasonable, but she is extremely careful with the old man, and she has been supporting her without any complaints. In the face of grandma's lesson, even if he was wronged, he said again and again that he knew.
Grandma said that she started to make trouble again, she didn't think so, but she said that she knew that she was wrong, her eyes flashed with a vicious gaze, and she glared at Xia Xiao, obviously these two people were unreasonable.
beckoned Xia Xiao and the others to sit down, and just as he was about to speak, his grandmother asked:
"Have you two eaten?"
"It's not time for lunch now, but I've eaten breakfast. ”
"Then I'll make a bowl of noodles for the two of you, and I'll be hungry when I'm running around. ”
Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang looked at each other, and it was difficult to refuse.
"Grandma, do you know Ning Shen Academy?"
If you don't know, I'm afraid you won't do this to them, they are just strangers after all. A bowl of noodles is too simple for the nobles of Zhumen, but it is a great heart for this ordinary villager. Standing on the small bench, the rickety grandmother began to beneath it, she had already boiled the water before, and she knew that someone would come.
"The farthest city I've been to is Longgang, I have a small vision, I have never heard of this college, what is it?"
"A place to educate people. ”
Xia Xiao was a little disappointed, he didn't know that he was not ready to leave, so why waste time cooking noodles again.
"Can Ah Candle go?"
Ah Candle, who was helping by the stove, immediately expressed his position.
"I'm not going, I'm going to accompany my grandmother. ”
"Stinky girl, don't interject. ”
Grandma stretched out her hand to hit her, but Ah Zhu didn't dodge or dodge, lest as soon as she dodged, grandma would fall off the small bench. Grandma is no better than her, young and resistant to beating, and she can continue to run even if she falls and gets up.
"This ...... I'm afraid it's a little difficult, but grandma, you have to get out of here, it's dangerous. ”
The old woman was silent for a long time, and under her own care, she smashed the eggs and kept putting them in the pot, persistently dying.
"Grandma?"
Ah Candle was a little confused, these ten eggs are the most valuable things in the family, some time ago the old hen just laid, I was going to save it to go to Longgang to exchange some cotton, plus two old hens, I can make a new cotton quilt. Last time, the quilt was covered for more than ten years, and it is no longer frost-resistant. But how do you get all the eggs in the pot?
The old woman didn't answer, but just used all the ingredients that could be used in the house. If it weren't for the taste, she would pour out a bucket of oil, drain all the salt, or pour all the little vat of vinegar into the soup. The old woman held the noodles with trembling hands, and then held two large bowls in front of Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang.
Looking at this bowl of egg noodles, Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang couldn't move their chopsticks. This is probably the heaviest bowl of noodles, and they can't eat it, but the old woman raised her hand in anticipation.
"Eat. ”
"Grandma, there are too many noodles, we can't finish them, let's divide some of them. ”
A bowl of five eggs will definitely not be finished!
Ah Candle watched and was about to get the bowl, but Grandma shook her head.
"You work hard, you have to kill the enemy, eat more!"
Xia Xiao's hands were full of beast blood, raising and falling, but looking at the old woman, she raised her hand again.
"Let's eat!"
There was some pleading in her voice, and tears welled up in her old eyes. When Ah Candle saw it, she felt distressed for a while, so she could only obey her grandmother's wishes, lowered her voice, and admonished:
"Eat!"
Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang were in a dilemma, so they could only pick up chopsticks and eat this extremely valuable bowl of egg noodles. What they are most afraid of is not the child crying, but the old man crying, Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang can't bear this tear.
Seeing them eating, the old woman was relieved, she took Ah Candle's hand, sat opposite Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang, and talked quietly.
"Two adults, I am old, and the old guys in the village are all in their seventies at least, and they have all been abandoned by their sons and daughters, and even if they die, they will die here. But Ah Candle is still young, you see, can you take her out of this mountain village, even if she can't go to the academy, she can go to Longgang. ”
The noodles are very salty and sour, but the reality is harder to swallow. Longgang is gone, Rongcheng Linxi is gone, Xia Xiao doesn't want to tell this old woman, the cloudy eyes flashed with hope, bright and scary. How much hope should this have been accumulated? But these are all things that Xia Xiao is doing!
"Don't worry, I'll take her away, the imperial capital is also a good place to go, you can also go, but it will take some time. ”
Xia Xiao ate one egg at a time, and ate it quickly, but the old lady shook her head, as if she had made up her mind.
"My lord, I won't leave. When the leaves fall, it should also be returned to the roots. ”
The hand holding the chopsticks tightened, Xia Xiao felt uncomfortable, but Ah Candle always objected.
"I'm not leaving, grandma, are you going to drive me away? I don't want to go, I don't want to go. ”
The bitter parting was the most disturbing, but Xia Xiao just ate noodles, and Shu Shuang couldn't finish eating, so he ate it. When he finishes eating this noodles, he will take the girl named Ah Candle out of the mountains. This is his task, and now it has become the old woman's wish!
A bowl of steaming egg noodles dispelled the slight cold of autumn, but Xia Xiao's heart was always blocked, which made him a little uncomfortable. Xia Xiao's current strength is really not enough to take all five people away, and he never thought that there was not even a horse in this village.
