Seeing that Lin Xiaodong had quite a temper, Jiang Yongning walked up to him, clasping his hands behind his back, and walked around him, saying disdainfully: "It doesn't look like you have lost your memory."
"Brother Jiang, don't say that. He only remembers his own name. He doesn't even know where this place is or what country it is."
Yu Huiying grabbed Jiang Yongning.
Jiang Yongning turned around and said: "Xiaoying, you are so kind, you believe everything others say, but you actually let him stay overnight last night?
How dangerous!"
"Oh, it's okay. He was lying on the bed yesterday and couldn't move. He just got out of bed at night. Look at what he's like now. What can he do to me?
Don’t worry!”
Yu Huiying said impatiently.
Lin Xiaodong raised his eyebrows when he heard this, thinking: "Why are these words so offensive? I have never had anyone look down on me like this."
Jiang Yongning was still worried and said: "Let's let him come and live at my house."
Yu Huiying stared and shook her head: "Your house only has one room, where can I stay at your house?"
"Then you can't let him stay at your place overnight. It's too dangerous. What's more, people in the village will inevitably gossip."
Jiang Yongning insisted.
"But he has no place to live now, can I still kick him out?
Don’t worry, Brother Jiang, I’ll come to you anytime if anything happens.”
Jiang Yongning blinked, came to Lin Xiaodong, stared into his eyes, and threatened fiercely: "If you dare to do anything to Xiaoying, I won't spare you."
Lin Xiaodong gritted his teeth and said coldly: "Miss Yu saved me and took me in, what can I do to her?"
"Oh, it's okay, brother, please leave quickly!"
Yu Huiying pushed Jiang Yongning out of the yard.
Jiang Yongning gave many warnings: "If something happens, just shout. If he dares to bully you, bite him!"
Lin Xiaodong rolled his eyes.
When Yu Huiying came back, she said sheepishly: "Ignore him, Brother Jiang is like this."
Lin Xiaodong nodded, looked at Yu Huiying's medicine basket, and said, "I gained a lot today."
After scratching her head, Yu Huiying said with a silly smile: "Hehehe, Brother Jiang gave it to me, I just played with it!"
"Are these medicinal materials used to make elixirs?"
Lin Xiaodong knelt down and looked carefully. He didn't recognize any of these herbs.
"Brother Lin, you must be a cultivator! I will take you to the county town another day. Maybe the Taoist priest there will know you!"
Yu Huiying said.
Lin Xiaodong nodded: "Okay."
The two of them cooked and ate together, and then went back to their rooms to rest. Before going to bed, Yu Huiying walked around the house several times, then quietly went out, took the ax for chopping wood outside the door back into the house, and placed it behind the door.
.
The next morning, after dinner, Yu Huiying was going up the mountain to collect herbs again. Jiang Yongning came and entered the yard and said, "Xiaoying?"
Yu Huiying came out to greet him: "Brother Jiang, what's the matter?"
"Were you okay last night?"
Yu Huiying shook her head impatiently: "It's okay, don't worry!"
Jiang Yongning looked into the room and said, "Ask Lin Xiaodong to come out."
"What are you looking for him for?"
Jiang Yongning said: "He can't live in your house all the time. I think we should just build him a thatched house in the village to live in first."
Yu Huiying thought the same way, and turned around and called: "Brother Lin?"
Lin Xiaodong had heard Jiang Yongning's voice a long time ago and walked out of the house with no good expression.
"You don't want to live at Xiaoying's house anymore. Let's build you a thatched house in the village."
When he heard that he was going to build a house for himself, Lin Xiaodong's face softened and he thought: "I can't live here for a long time, and I have to work hard for the villagers to build a house for me. I feel bad about it, but if I don't agree, Jiang Yongning may not be able to eat."
Can't sleep well."
So he agreed: "Then thank you Brother Jiang for your hard work."
Jiang Yongning was very happy: "It doesn't matter, you live alone anyway, a few people can build it in one day."
Lin Xiaodong stared: "Can it be built in one day?"
"Of course, how long does it take to build a thatched house?
Where do you want to build your house?”
Jiang Yongning asked.
Yu Huiying jumped excitedly, pointed to the open space outside her yard and said: "Here, be a neighbor with me!"
Jiang Yongning wanted to send Lin Xiaodong away, saying: "The entrance to the village is too far away, and there are no neighbors around. It's more convenient to stay in the village."
Yu Huiying is an orphan. When she came to Hongkou Village, the house was built with the help of the villagers. Because she was not from the village, the house was built at the entrance of the village. It was a single family with no neighbors. Her daily life was a bit lonely, so she hoped that Lin Xiaodong would follow her.
She is a neighbor.
Therefore, when Jiang Yongning said that Lin Xiaodong should live in the village, Yu Huiying was very unhappy and pouted: "Then why did I build my house outside the village in the first place?
I don’t want to be the first household in the village, it’s scary to live alone!”
Jiang Yongning had to change his mind: "Okay, okay, then you two will be neighbors and you won't be afraid in the future."
So Lin Xiaodong became the first in the village.
The people in the village are kind and honest, and they all came to help. In one day, the house was built, with a square matchbox, wooden doors and windows, a room, a kitchen and a utility room. It couldn't be more simple, but at least it has a place to live.
.
Seeing that there was nothing in the house, the villagers moved here and there and brought in various furniture, beds, wardrobes, pots and pans, and even old clothes. Lin Xiaodong was greatly moved: "Thank you, folks!"
Yu Huiying clapped her hands and said: "Thank you for your hard work, come to my house to have a meal together!"
Several strong young men who worked during the day stayed to eat. Jiang Yongning brought a few jars of wine, and Lin Xiaodong brought a glass to express his thanks: "Thank you, everyone, for your hard work!"
The villager waved his hand: "Thank you, we will all be neighbors from now on!"
Jiang Yongning asked: "Then what are your plans in the future?"
Yu Huiying smiled and said: "Brother Lin is a Taoist priest. He will definitely collect medicines to make elixirs in the future. It's just right for him to go collecting medicines with me."
The villagers became curious: "Are you a Taoist priest?"
Lin Xiaodong shook his head: "I should be, but I don't know anything now and have no magic power at all."
Jiang Yongning said: "Then you may be from the county town, or from Pingliang Mountain. You can go and find out yourself, and you may be able to know who you are."
Lin Xiaodong nodded and said nothing.
The wine ended late at night, and everyone went back to their homes. Lin Xiaodong helped Yu Huiying clear the dishes and said, "Thank you for entertaining everyone for me."
Yu Huiying smiled and said: "Brother Lin, we will be neighbors from now on, why are you talking about this!"
After being stunned for a while, Lin Xiaodong asked: "Are you an orphan?"
There was a trace of sadness in Yu Huiying's eyes, and she nodded and said: "Yes.
I have had no parents since I can remember. When I was young, I worked as a waiter in a garment shop in the county town. I was caught stealing clothes and I couldn't afford to pay for it, so I hid in the village."
"The folks built me a house and settled in, just like you, so I live here."
Lin Xiaodong raised his head and wondered in his heart: "Can heavenly beings also have orphans?"
