"How is Axiu?" I looked toward the kitchen and happened to see Axiu's back. "She's a pretty good girl!"
Then I was stunned, opened my eyes wide, and looked at Loach in disbelief, "You must have fallen in love with Axiu, right?"
"Hehe..." Loach scratched his head and smiled sheepishly, "Did I act so obvious? You could see it so easily."
I thought to myself, isn't what you said all nonsense? If a boy is not interested in a girl, he will ask his good friend what he thinks of her for no reason?
I laughed a few times, then patted Loach on the shoulder, "You can do it, kid. Now it's love at first sight!"
"You are now in a couple with Meng Shiyu all day long, and you have successfully left the single family. Of course you don't understand the pain of us singles! When Ni Loach spoke, his eyes unknowingly looked at Axiu in the kitchen.
"Then do you have any plans?" I asked Loach.
Although falling in love at first sight is wonderful, there are many other issues to consider after the first meeting, and it is not easy to make it last forever.
"I don't know." Loach shook his head. "I haven't thought about so many things, but the first time I saw Axiu, she gave me a very special feeling. I can't describe that feeling.
Okay, but I know that’s what I like, and I want to be with her.”
"Dongfang, Lin Qiu's rice is ready. It's time to eat. Come and help me take the things to the living room!" Axiu shouted from the kitchen.
"Okay, we'll be there right away!" Loach raised his neck and shouted.
Then he put his hand on my shoulder and moved his head close to mine, "Dongfang, you can tell this when you see it, but don't tell Axiu that we have just met. I'm afraid she will think I
This man is very frivolous."
After Loach finished speaking, he took his hand away and stumbled towards the kitchen.
Looking at the loach's appearance, I can only sigh in my heart, love is so damn magical. No one can explain what it is, but when it comes quietly to us, we can all feel it.
its existence.
Then I shook my head and walked into the kitchen.
The dinner Axiu cooked was very simple, but it was considered rich in Panjiagou. She cooked some corn and taro porridge.
At the dinner table, Axiu smiled apologetically at us, "I'm sorry, the food at home is not very rich, so I can only bring out these things to entertain you."
I don’t really mind, as long as I can eat enough!
Loach picked up a corn cob, took a big bite and said nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter, I think these things are delicious."
I smiled and thought that if beauty is in the eye of the beholder, then delicacies must also come out. I guess even if Axiu brought out a bowl of pig food, the loach would eat it cleanly without leaving any residue.
While eating, I considered my words in my mind, and then asked Axiu, "Axiu, how many people are there in your village?"
Axiu put down the chopsticks in her hand, thought for a moment and said, "About one or two hundred people!"
"Do you usually go down the mountain often?"
"It's not that often! If someone wants to go down the mountain, others will often ask him to bring some daily necessities. And we are in San Village. Basically every household raises chickens, ducks and grows vegetables, so we can achieve self-sufficiency.
So there’s no need for everyone to go down the mountain.”
"Does anyone else come here besides us?" I then asked.
But after I asked this question, Axiu raised her head and gave me a meaningful look.
I felt panicked. Did she see something?
Fortunately, Axiu quickly looked away. She shook her head and said lightly, "Our village is very poor. How can anyone be willing to come to us?"
After that, I clearly felt the change in Axiu. She no longer talked to us casually, and always lowered her head to eat. However, during the meal, her eyes always fell on me from time to time.
Axiu's reaction made me feel very strange. She was obviously wary.
It seems that there is indeed something weird in this. At the beginning, we met Aunt Zhou. Aunt Zhou accidentally said, "Why are there so many people here recently?"
But when I asked further, she immediately shut up.
It's the same now. We originally had a good conversation with Axiu, but when I asked if people came to this village often, she was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and she immediately improved her skills.
Vigilant, unwilling to continue talking to us.
It can be inferred from the reactions of Aunt Zhou and Axiu that before we came to this village, someone else must have been here, and something else had even happened, which made them become sensitive and treat them badly.
This is very taboo.
Just like this, dinner was finished in a very strange atmosphere.
After eating, Axiu started to pack her things. Ni Loach and I wanted to help, but she refused, which made both Ni Loach and I feel a little embarrassed.
Loach and I had no choice but to go back to the room Axiu arranged for us to rest.
"Dongfang, why do you think Axiu's reaction became so strange when we asked if anyone else came here before?" Loach asked me puzzledly while lying on the bed.
I kept thinking about this matter in my mind, and finally I shook my head, "We don't know anything yet, but one thing is basically certain, that is, Zhang Dan's sudden disappearance and his original strange behavior after returning home.
It has something to do with this village."
Just as we were talking, the door suddenly rang. Loach and I looked at each other warily, then immediately stopped talking.
Then the door was pushed open and Axiu walked in. He was carrying a kettle and a wooden basin in his hand. "I have put some Chinese herbal medicine in this wooden basin. You can have a good sleep tonight!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Axiu put down the things in her hands, then opened the door and went out.
Loach and I looked at each other inexplicably, then shrugged.
I have to say that soaking your feet with Chinese herbal medicine is really a pleasure. It seems that living in the mountains all year round is not all bad.
There are herbs everywhere on the mountain, and probably only the villagers in Panjiagou can enjoy them like this.
After soaking our feet, Loach and I got into our respective beds and got ready to sleep.
In the middle of the night, when I was half asleep, I was woken up by a splash of urine.
I rubbed my eyes, then prepared to go outside to take a hot pee, then go back to Ali and go back to sleep.
