"You are too beautiful. It is not safe here." Lan Lan looked at Ning Ruirui, "But Uncle Lang will protect you here, so you will be safe."
This may sound a bit convoluted, but it is obvious that the first here mentioned by Lan Lan refers to this village, and the second here refers to her home.
"Lan Lan, has anything happened here before?" Ning Ruirui couldn't help but ask, but she was vaguely wondering. If some beautiful girls were in danger really happened here, shouldn't Wang Chao remind them?
?Is it possible that Wang Chao doesn’t know?
"I don't know." Lan Lan looked at Ning Ruirui with a strange look, then turned and walked inside.
Ning Ruirui frowned slightly, but did not follow her. Although this girl named Lan Lan was only eleven years old, she was obviously much more mature than her peers.
After a while, Lan Lan came out again, carrying a big bowl with rice and a big meat bone in the bowl. Then, she didn't care about Ning Ruirui and Xia Tian, and just talked to her there.
Let’s have dinner together with Uncle Wolf.
Lan Lan ate rice and gave the meat bones to the wolf dog. It looked like a real family eating there. The scene was actually quite harmonious.
"Little long-legged girl, do you want to eat? I can go get you something to eat." Xia Tian asked at this time.
"No, we'll just eat with everyone later." Ning Ruirui replied. She felt that since she was volunteering with everyone, it would be better to follow everyone's activities as much as possible.
"Their dinner must not be delicious." Xia Tian lazily said: "Why don't I catch a rabbit and bring it back, and then we can cook a rabbit hot pot."
Ning Ruirui gave Xia Tian a roll of her eyes. She originally wanted to say no, but suddenly she remembered something and immediately changed her mind: "Okay, you can go catch more rabbits, pheasants, etc. and come back. We can do it with everyone."
Let’s eat.”
"Okay." Xia Tian agreed simply, and immediately disappeared from the yard after saying that.
Lan Lan's eyes seemed to brighten a little, but soon she continued to eat.
"Lan Lan, don't be in a hurry to eat. Why don't you eat something with us later?" Ning Ruirui said to Lan Lan.
"I'll eat first, and I can still eat meat later." Lan Lan said this, and then continued to eat. Not to mention, she had quite a big appetite.
By the time Lan Lan finished finishing a large bowl of rice, Xia Tian also came back, and he also had two rabbits and three pheasants on his hands.
"Lan Lan, why don't you go to the school with us and we can eat some together later. If you don't want to go, we will eat these things at your house." Ning Ruirui asked Lan Lan for her opinion.
.
"I'm not going to school." Lan Lan shook her head, then put down the bowl and walked inside, "I'm going to boil water and kill the chicken."
"I'll go with you." Ning Ruirui followed, and after taking two steps, she turned to look at Xia Tian, "You go get some vegetables and the like. We'll cook a hot pot later. We need some side dishes."
There are ingredients and so on, but it’s up to you to decide.”
Xia Tian, who was always happy to help his girlfriend with things, disappeared from the yard again.
An hour later, the hot pot was cooked in the courtyard of the villa, and a rabbit was lowered into the hot pot. Then they also cooked a plate of pheasant, well, it was cooked with beer. In summer, they brought a lot of hot pot side dishes, even as a side dish.
He had all the ingredients. He had originally found some green vegetables on the mountain, but then he felt it was troublesome, so he went directly to a hot pot restaurant down the mountain and got a lot of vegetables.
"Little long-legged girl, you need to drink beer to eat hot pot, so you should drink some beer too." Xia Tian said to Ning Ruirui seriously.
"Do you think you can get me drunk with beer?" Ning Ruirui said angrily. This guy was probably thinking about what bad things she could do when she was drunk.
"Little long-legged girl, why do I want to get you drunk?" Xia Tian looked a little surprised, "It's normal to eat hot pot and drink beer."
Speaking of this, Xia Tian said to himself again: "Well, the long-legged girl seemed to like hot pot in the past."
Xia Tian unconsciously thought of Ye Yumei again, and Ning Ruirui also felt that this guy's hands were not very trustworthy at the moment, and he was moving around her waist and legs. Originally, this was nothing, after all, this guy has always been like this, but now he sees
He obviously touched Ye Yumei because of the sound, which made Ning Ruirui feel a little unhappy.
This damn pervert really still regards her as a substitute for Ye Yumei, which is simply too much!
"Hey, go buy me some beer, I want to drink it!" Ning Ruirui said angrily. She didn't want to drown her sorrows with wine, she just wanted to get rid of this pervert.
This trick was basically effective. No, Xia Tian left immediately. Of course, he came back soon and moved back two boxes of beer.
In the yard, three people and one dog were eating hot pot and drinking beer. Lan Lan gave the wolf dog a piece of meat from time to time, and also took a big bowl and poured it a bowl of beer, even though Lan Lan had already eaten a big bowl before.
She still eats rice, but she still eats it non-stop. It can be seen that her life has not been good these years.
In fact, this is normal. She has lived alone for more than three years. When her mother left, she was only eight years old. For an eight-year-old girl to live alone with a dog, it was good enough not to starve herself to death.
, can we still expect her to have a good life?
"Lan Lan, how have you lived alone all these years?" Ning Ruirui finally couldn't help but ask. She was actually really curious about how an eight-year-old girl could only have a wolf dog to protect her.
How did you spend these three years in such a poor mountain village?
"Before my mother left, she prepared a lot of things for me. She seemed to have never planned to come back from the beginning. There was a cellar under the villa where a lot of food was stored, but now there is not much, only some rice left. I was in the yard
I grew some vegetables in the back, and Uncle Wolf would catch hares for me to eat from time to time. I also had some money, and the village chief grandpa was very kind to me. He would give me some things from time to time, and would also buy some for me.
The things I need." Lan Lan seemed to talk a little more at this time, "I want to go down the mountain to find my mother. The village chief grandpa told me that I am still young and it is not safe to go down the mountain, and the city does not allow such a big person to be taken with me.
The wolves and dogs roam freely, so it is safer for me to stay in the village now."
"I see." Ning Ruirui sighed softly, then nodded, "The village chief is right, it is indeed troublesome for you to bring a dog to the city."
After pondering for a moment, Ning Ruirui added, "How about this? I'll help you find news about your mother. If we find her, we'll take you out by the way."
"Sister Ruirui, is it true that Uncle Wolf can't stay in the city?" Lan Lan asked again. She now knew Ning Ruirui's name and started calling her sister.
"That's not entirely true. There is still a place to stay, but it's more troublesome, and you can't let loose. You have to be on a leash when going out." Ning Ruirui explained that fierce dogs like wolfdogs are generally not allowed on the streets.
, to say the least, even if you can go out on the street, you must hold a rope, otherwise you will definitely scare others.
"Sister Ruirui, then I won't go to the city." Lan Lan shook her head, "I won't tie up Uncle Wolf, and I won't leave him in the mountains and go out alone."
"Okay, Lan Lan, we'll talk about your inability to get out later. I'd better help you find your mother first." Ning Ruirui can actually understand Lan Lan's thoughts. For her, this wolf dog is now her
As the closest relative, she no longer treats it as a dog. In essence, she treats this wolfdog as a human being. Naturally, she cannot tie up her own relative.
Although Ning Ruirui herself is not a person who particularly likes dogs, she can understand Lan Lan's thoughts, so it is normal for Lan Lan to choose not to leave now. But if she can really find Lan Lan's mother, maybe
Lan Lan will also change her mind, so she is not in a hurry to let Lan Lan decide to leave her now.
At this moment, Ning Ruirui felt something and turned to look at the door of the yard. Then, she saw an old man wearing simple clothes standing there.
"Grandpa Village Chief." Lan Lan's voice sounded at this moment, and Ning Ruirui immediately knew the identity of this old man.
"Lan Lan, you are eating." The village chief's voice was gentle, and then he looked at Ning Ruirui, "This must be Miss Ning from the city, right?"
"Hello, village chief, I am Ning Ruirui." Ning Ruirui wanted to stand up, but couldn't. The reason was simple. Her slender waist was being held by Xia Tian and she couldn't get up.
"Miss Ning, I have something to talk to you about alone, is that okay?" The old village chief glanced at Lan Lan and then asked.
"Of course it's no problem." Ning Ruirui nodded, then pinched Xia Tian, "Let me go first."
Xia Tian really let go of Ning Ruirui this time, and Ning Ruirui got up and walked out of the yard, and then walked with the village chief more than ten meters away, without going far.
"Village Chief, tell me, what's the matter?" Ning Ruirui was quite polite to the village chief. The reason was actually quite simple. Just now Lan Lan said that the village chief was a nice person.
"Miss Ning, I'll just tell you. I just heard you say that you want to help Lan Lan find her mother. If you can find her mother, of course it would be best, but if you can't find her..." the village chief lowered his voice, "
Please don't tell Lan Lan that she can't find her. You can just not reply to the message. In this way, even if Lan Lan is disappointed with you, she still has hope in her heart."
"Village Chief, I actually understand what you mean, but you seem to have thought that I can't find Lan Lan's mother?" Ning Ruirui frowned slightly.
"Miss Ning, there are some things you don't quite understand. Let me just say this. Based on my understanding of Lan Lan's mother, if she can come back, there is no way she won't come back." The village chief sighed, "She loves this very much.
My daughter, before she left, she actually gave me a lot of money to help take care of Lan Lan, otherwise she would not be able to leave Lan Lan alone at home, so..."
The village chief did not continue, but Ning Ruirui understood what he meant, but she still asked: "Village chief, are you saying that Lan Lan's mother is no longer in the world?"
