Chapter 110 Actually, its quite a waste of time to think of a title.
After Xu Shuo resolved the old village chief's survival crisis, he returned to the village and allowed the old man's curses to disappear into the forest.
This place is very remote, with weeds and thorns all along the road. Normal villagers usually would not go to this place, not to mention that half of the mountain is the land of the village chief's family.
When the old village chief left the village a few months ago, he did do so voluntarily, but the fact that he disappeared halfway and was imprisoned here was the work of the acting village chief.
At this time, Xu Shuo suddenly thought of a question.
If other players get this character identity, but fail to open the character card and get the memory, is that——
The follow-up plot is where the old village chief starved to death?
But whether he died of starvation or his body was found, the role of the old village chief shouldn't just lie there without any plot until the end, right?
It's quite miserable when you think about it.
On the way back, Xu Shuo thought about the next arrangements. When he stood on the mountain and saw the self-built house, he narrowed his eyes.
He went down the mountain from the forest path and walked around to the main entrance.
Unless he was going on a long trip, houses in the countryside were rarely locked, and Xu Shuo just hung a wooden bolt on the door before leaving.
After opening the door, there is first a corridor leading directly to the backyard, and on the left and right are the living room and the stairs leading to the second floor. In the living room at this time, a man in a gray trench coat is sitting.
He was originally sizing up the place, but when he heard the sound, he quickly turned around and looked around.
"Acting Village Chief, I'm sorry, I just came in." The windbreaker detective said a little embarrassedly. Although the person who let him in was also the villager who led the way, he was not used to the straight-forward style in the village.
"It's okay, I can't let you wait outside."
Xu Shuo smiled gently, then raised the thing in his hand without waiting for him to ask, and continued: "I just went to the mountain to dig some bamboo shoots for you. Now is the most fresh and tender time. Sir, please eat more later."
point."
The windbreaker detective glanced at the things in his hands. Perhaps the road he was walking on was quite bumpy. The rain boots he was wearing were covered in mud and dust, and the cloth was also dirty and had scratches.
Then, the trench coat detective said with a friendly smile: "I'd like to ask the acting village chief."
"No trouble, you sit down first and you can get whatever you want to eat." Xu Shuo put out the food plate again, then walked to the backyard with the bamboo shoots.
The kitchen here still uses earthen stoves to burn firewood. Although Xu Shuo has never used it, as a cook, he can still cook, light a fire, and set up a pot.
He just looked at the clock in the living room. It was now about four o'clock in the afternoon. Most rural households had four meals a day, so it was almost time to cook.
Xu Shuo first prepared the ingredients, then washed the rice and put the cooking pot on the stove. Then he was about to pick up the little girl, but as soon as he turned around, he almost bumped into the windbreaker detective who came up to him out of nowhere.
"Ah, sorry, sorry." The windbreaker detective apologized, his gentle and gentle manner showed the air of a gentleman, which was particularly relaxing.
"I almost bumped into sir. As expected, sir is a well-educated man in the city. He walks softly and elegantly. He is not as vulgar as us rural people." Xu Shuo sighed with a smile.
"..." Detective in trench coat.
He always felt that these words were very sinister, but he couldn't tell anything from the respectful expression on his face.
Xu Shuo wiped his hands with a towel and said, "Sir, please help me check the fire. I will go to the ancestral hall to pick up Xiaoqing for dinner."
"Xiao Qing?" The windbreaker detective looked confused.
"Well, she is a child in the village. All her family members have passed away. I feel sorry for her, so I take care of her from time to time." Xu Shuo said.
The windbreaker detective nodded, watched him leave, and then turned his attention to the burning earthen stove.
No matter inside or outside, he is a serious city dweller, and he really doesn't know how to use this thing.
…
…
Xu Shuo arrived at the ancestral hall with ease. When he pushed open the small room on the right, he saw the little girl sitting by the bed in a daze with her eyes open.
She was not sleeping, and there was no unnecessary expression on her lovely face. She was just staring at the candle on the table in trance.
The candlelight was beating, and the flickering light reflected on the girl's face, making her eyebrows and eyes become a little unreal.
Hearing the sound of opening the door, the little girl turned her head to look, and then her eyes lit up, and her whole body seemed to be alive.
"Uncle Dai!" She happily jumped off the bed, ran forward and grabbed the hem of Xu Shuo's clothes, and asked expectantly: "Are you here to pick me up for dinner?"
"yes."
Xu Shuo knelt down and touched the little girl's hair, and asked, "Did you sleep well?"
"Very good!" The little girl nodded heavily, with a determined look on her face.
Who are you kidding? You didn’t take a nap at all!
Xu Shuo rubbed the top of her head in a funny way, making the already messy bun even messier, and then took the little girl and walked outside.
Maybe it was because she had dinner, or maybe she saw the village chief who was kind to her, but the little girl was in a very good mood at this time.
After walking out of the ancestral hall, she let go and ran ahead happily, then looked back at Xu Shuo, looking impatient.
The little girl's loose bun hair swayed, the smile on her face was sweet and sweet, her rosy cheeks were round and particularly cute, and she was jumping on the road like an elf.
…
Not far away, the female reporter who was wandering in the village saw the little cutie, and then rushed over with shining eyes!
The little girl was startled and turned around and ran away when she approached. She quickly hid behind Xu Shuo, hugged his legs and carefully poked her head out.
"Ahem, village chief, who is your daughter?" The female reporter realized that she had lost her composure. After rushing over, she stood still and said with a smile.
"No, she is an orphan in the village. I am just taking her to my place for dinner." Xu Shuo said, touching the top of the little girl's hair soothingly.
"Oh, yes! I remember you seem to be single." The female reporter suddenly seemed to have a sudden realization.
The old village chief had only one child. After his wife died in childbirth, his parents helped raise the child. However, just over ten years ago, all the elderly in the family also died one after another.
In the end, there were only two grown men left in the village chief's family. The son of the village chief, who was in his thirties, had not yet asked for a wife.
This matter is not a secret among the villagers.
Xu Shuo responded lightly, then lowered his head to comfort the little girl: "Don't be afraid, he is not a bad person."
The little girl looked at the aunt who smiled strangely at her strangely. She was still hiding behind Xu Shuo, holding the hem of his clothes tightly with both hands.
Seeing this, the female reporter looked at the blue sky above her head and said with a smile: "It's quite early for the village chief's family to have dinner. I just dropped off my luggage at the farmhouse and was busy visiting the village."
"We all eat early." Xu Shuo said with a smile.
"..." The female reporter smiled and said, "Yes, I am indeed hungry at this time."
"Yeah." Xu Shuo responded and didn't answer the question at all.
The two stared at each other in silence for a long time. The female reporter had no choice but to point out awkwardly and politely: "Village chief, do you mind if I visit your home?"
Xu Shuo suddenly realized: "That's right! Look, I almost neglected the guests. The girl wants to promote our village. You must be hungry after being busy for so long. It doesn't matter, come together!"
