"Sister, we have almost enough firewood. It's getting late, let's go back. Dad said he would make rice for us at noon. I haven't eaten white and fragrant rice for a long time. I'm so hungry!"
The childish voice sounded, and Hai Long couldn't help being slightly stunned. Of course, he didn't know who it was, but he was sure from the voice that it was not someone from the Demon Sect who came to capture him.
Another voice that sounded more mature said: "Little sister, you ate three large pieces of sweet potatoes in the morning. Now you are not hungry, but you are obviously greedy."
"Hehe, my sister knows me best. Let's go back, okay? I really want to eat rice! If Uncle Li hadn't sent rice yesterday, I don't know how many days I would have to wait before I can eat it."
"Okay, okay. Chaihe is almost enough. Let's go back now. Since you love eating so much, I'll give you my share at noon. I'll just eat the sweet potatoes."
"No, why did I eat so much? Dad always said that my sister needs to eat more now that she is growing. Our village is so poor. Look at Li Village, most people can eat it every day.
The rice and steamed buns are much better than us." As the voice approached, two slender figures, one tall and one short, appeared in Hai Long's sight.
Listening to the conversation between the sisters, Hai Long couldn't help but think of the time he spent with Zhang Hao. His village was also very poor, and the same situation had happened. The relationship between him and Zhang Hao was not like that between the sisters.
Are you there? Douya'er! How are you now? I will definitely go and see you when I return to Lianyun Sect this time. At this time, the pair of little sisters had already walked to the tree where Hai Long was. Neither of their faces looked very good.
Well, they are slightly yellow, obviously due to long-term malnutrition. But the complexion does not affect their delicate appearance. The elder sister is about thirteen or four years old, and the younger sister is about ten years old. Both of them are carrying them behind their backs.
Looking at the disproportionately large firewood bundles, Hai Long's heart felt sour for no reason.
Floating down, Hai Long was standing in front of the two little sisters the next moment. His appearance immediately startled the two sisters. They screamed and stepped back. Because there was heavy firewood on their backs, they immediately
They fell together. The elder sister protected her younger sister in her arms and looked at Hai Long tremblingly.
Hai Long tried his best to soften his expression and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person. I was sleeping in the tree just now. I saw you carrying such heavy firewood and I just wanted to help you." The pair of sisters.
Obviously she didn't quite believe what he said, and her sister said in horror: "You, don't come here. Uncle, we have no money and we don't have anything to eat. Just let us go. If you want it, I'll give you all the firewood and food."
If you want..., I, I am willing to come with you, my sister is still young, so just let her go."
Hai Long couldn't help but froze slightly after hearing what this "sister" said. A strange feeling arose in his heart. He knew clearly that the sisters had already regarded him as a robber. "How do you know so much? You look like you are still very young."
!I'm really not a bad person, and I won't hurt you, otherwise why would I talk nonsense with you? Right?"
The elder sister murmured: "I am already sixteen years old, not young. My sister is already thirteen years old, but we are just smaller. Don't lie to us. How can any bad person admit that he is
They are bad people. My parents always say that you must not trust outsiders." There was a look of vigilance in their eyes, and they were ready to run away at any time.
Hai Long saw that it was difficult for the two sisters to believe in him, so he had no choice but to sit on the ground, touched his beard, and said with a bitter smile: "If you don't believe it, don't believe it. But don't call me uncle, I'm only eighteen years old.
No bigger than you. My name is Hai Long. What about you?"
The two sisters looked at Hai Long sitting on the ground, as if there was really no threat to them, and they couldn't help but become bolder. They took off the Chai He from behind, and the sister said timidly: "My name is Yuhua, and this is my sister Yu.
Ping, you, are you really only eighteen years old? But why are your clothes so torn? Did you encounter a robber?" After seeing Hai Long's outfit clearly, the rural girl couldn't help but feel excited.
compassion.
Hai Long smiled bitterly and said: "Yes! I met a group of powerful bandits. They chased me for a long time. I finally got rid of them."
Yuping poked his head out of his sister's arms and said, "Then you are so pitiful! Come home with us. Our family has rice to eat today. Can Ping'er share some of his own with you?"
Yuhua was obviously more wary. She pulled her sister and whispered: "Ping'er, don't talk nonsense. We can't just bring outsiders home. What if he is a bad person? Who knows whether what he said is true." Hai Long
Looking at them, a warmth arose in his heart, and Yu Ping's childish and kind words made him feel a little homesick. He sighed softly and said, "It's already very late, you should go home.
Come on, otherwise your parents will be worried. You don’t have to doubt me, I will just sit here and be still. Goodbye, two lovely sisters." With that, he also asked Sister Yuhua
He waved his hand.
Yuhua looked at Hai Long's sincere face and murmured: "Are you really not a bad person? Otherwise, why don't you go back to the village with us. My father is the village chief. If he says you are not a bad person, the village will
I can take you in." Hai Long was already annoyed by the tattered clothes and dirt on his body, not to mention he also wanted to visit the village where these two girls were and find out how they felt before. So he stood up and said with a smile: "Okay then
Well. If your father thinks that I am a bad person, I will leave immediately and I will definitely not cause you any trouble." With that said, Hai Long walked to the side of the Yuhua sisters, bent down, and carried their firewood and firewood to himself.
On the shoulders. “It’s not good for girls to carry so many things on their backs. It will affect their physical development.”
Yuhua resisted and said: "No way. Don't look at me thin, but I have strength. Even ordinary boys can't do anything better than me. Our village is very close to here, so hurry up and leave."
Under the leadership of the Yuhua sisters, Hai Long followed them through the woods and came to a small mountain village. This small village was built close to the forest. Various vegetation was planted around the village. The village was small and looked like
But there are only about a hundred households, and their clothes can no longer be described as simple. Most of them are patches on patches. Obviously, this is a very poor place. Of course, compared with Hai Long's hundred shirts, the clothes of these villagers are nothing.
It's so luxurious.
The appearance of Hai Long, an outsider, immediately attracted the attention of the villagers. As soon as they entered the village, more than a dozen sturdier male villagers gathered around them. They looked at Hai Long with an unfriendly look.
"Who are you? Why did you come to our Yucun? Yuhua, did you bring him here?"
Although Yuhua was young, she had a fierce temper. She put her hands on her hips and said, "So what? He is a man in distress and was robbed by robbers. I thought he was pitiful, so I brought him back."
A young man in his twenties said: "Is he pitiful? Even if he is pitiful, we can't take him in! Yuhua, don't forget, even our villagers don't have enough to eat now. If you have such a big living person, there will be one more person."
Open your mouth, the food in our village is all distributed uniformly. If there is one more person, everyone will have to eat less. How can we still have the energy to work?"
Yu Hua said angrily: "Yu Jing, you are a selfish villain. You know yourself. Although he is an outsider, you can't let him starve to death in the forest."
During the quarrel, a middle-aged man came over with several villagers. This middle-aged man looked a bit old, and his eyebrows were somewhat similar to those of the Yuhua sisters. Hai Long knew that this,
He should be the father of the Yuhua sisters, the village chief here. Sure enough, as the middle-aged man approached, the young male villagers all gave way to a way, and the young man named Yu Jian rushed to say: "Village Chief
, Yuhua brought back a savage from somewhere and said he was robbed by bandits. He doesn't look like a good person! You can't take him in."
The village chief glanced at Yu Jian and strode up to Hai Long. Hai Long was already close to 1.8 meters tall, even taller than the village chief. He smiled and said, "Hello, village chief, my name is Hai Long."
Village chief Yu Cang looked Hai Long up and down, and couldn't help but feel secretly surprised. Although on the surface this man's clothes were shabby, he faintly revealed a strange temperament, which made people awe like a mountain standing tall. Yu Cang knew that the man in front of him was awe-inspiring.
Must be extraordinary, frowned and said: "Our Yucun will never take in people of unknown origin. Please leave. Yujian, go and get a bag of sweet potatoes for this brother."
Yu Jian was stunned and said: "Village Chief, our food is also very limited! The summer seeds have just been allocated to the ground, and it will take a long time to mature."
Yu Cang glared and said: "If I tell you to go, you will go. Where does all this nonsense come from? You are the village chief and I am the village chief?"
The expression on Yu Jian's face fluctuated for a moment, and then he left unwillingly. Hai Long put the Chai He on his back on the ground. Ever since their father appeared, the Yu Hua sisters did not dare to say anything and stood aside with their heads lowered.
Hai Long looked at these poor villagers without any intention of blaming them for not taking him in. Everything in front of him was so similar to the small village in the west border where he was! The same dilapidation, the same desolation, and the same
The same simplicity. Raising his head, Hai Long looked at Yu Can and said: "Village Chief, there is no need for sweet potatoes. I still have some food with me. However, these clothes are too shabby. Can you let me wash up?"
Please provide me with some clean clothes. Of course, I won’t ask for your things in vain. I can use some food in exchange.”
Yu Cang thought for a while, nodded and said: "Okay then. There is no need for any exchange, but you must leave our place immediately after washing up. Yu Hua, go and get a set of my clothes for this brother."
Yu Hua glanced at Hai Long helplessly, agreed, and turned around to run towards the depths of the village. Under the leadership of Yu Cang, Hai Long followed him to a small river on the other side of the village. The clear river water was just like when Hai Long met the devil.
Kui Shi's sound is like a silver bell, giving people a refreshing and happy feeling.
After a while, Yuhua had already rushed over with a set of cloth. Yucan led the male villagers to surround Hailong in the center and let him wash up in the river, while the Yuhua sisters stayed outside and waited. As Hailong
The dirt on his body gradually disappeared, and the look of surprise in Yu Cang's eyes became more and more intense. The silver-colored breast shield on Hai Long's chest gave him a shocking feeling. Yu Cang even showed a look of greed. Hai Long's
The skin is moist and shiny, no longer covered by dirt, and the strong body looks very strange with its halo flowing under the sunlight.
"Well, it's really comfortable to take a bath. Thank you, village chief." After changing into dry clothes, Hai Long felt his whole body relaxed. He combed his black and thick hair back and walked to the village chief.
In front of Yu Cang. Upon hearing that Hai Long had finished washing, the Yuhua sisters couldn't wait to squeeze into the crowd. When Hai Long said that he was eighteen years old, they all wanted to verify it.
Yu Cang said: "Little brother, it turns out that you are so young, I really made a mistake. You can take this bag of sweet potatoes and eat it on the road. I'm really sorry, this is all our Yucun can provide."
Hai Long shook his head and said: "No, village chief, I can't ask for it. I'm very satisfied if I can take a bath and change my clothes. I have my own way of eating. I can't ask for this set of clothes for free, so be it. I'll help
You can catch some fish and eat them. Why don't you fish when you are guarding such a river?"
Yu Cang sighed and said: "Little brother, I'm not afraid of your jokes. We are really too poor here, and we are in an inland area. The price of fishing nets is astonishingly high, which is simply not what we can afford. This river
It doesn’t look wide, but the river is very wide and fast, so it’s difficult to catch fish without a fishing net.”
