Chapter 22

"Guangde County is a bit far from here. Did you two come alone? Where are your parents?" The old man looked at the two with a look full of compassion and asked softly.

"Our parents have passed away." When talking about her parents, Chu Yingying couldn't help feeling sad, glanced at Cui Yunhao, shook her head again, and said, "We originally went to seek relatives with fellow villagers, but we accidentally We got separated from them, and in the end only our siblings depended on each other."

"Two poor children, they are still so young, so they must have suffered a lot along the way, right?" The old man took a sharp puff of cigarette, looked left at Chu Yingying, right at Cui Yunhao, they were all skinny Lonely, he couldn't help sighing faintly.

The distressed eyes seemed to be watching his own grandchildren suffer, giving people a sense of intimacy.

Looking at the wrinkled face of the old man, Chu Yingying couldn't help thinking of her grandfather.

Although he passed away when she was seven years old, he left a deep impression on her. Not only did he love her granddaughter in every possible way, but he also taught her to read and write and many principles of life.

The voice and smile are just like the eyes.

"It was my sister who took care of me along the way. She did suffer a lot."

Cui Yunhao said as he glanced at Chu Yingying, and immediately puffed up his chest, showing a manly look, "However, from now on, I will take the initiative to shoulder the responsibility of protecting my sister, and I will never let her Any bullying!"

Chu Yingying was a little moved when she heard it, her nose was sour, and she thought to herself: This little mouse is quite conscientious!Know to protect me.

The old man asked them some simple questions, and after applying ice compresses to Chu Yingying's feet to reduce the swelling, it was getting late.

The red sun kisses Xishan lightly, and the setting sun is already thinning.

The twilight fell heavily like a dark net, covering the entire village.

"It's getting dark, let's just make do with staying overnight in our village today, and when your injury heals, I'll ask Daniel to drive a mule cart to take you some distance tomorrow."

While smoking a cigarette, the old man looked at the sky outside the window, and said to Chu Yingying kindly.

"Thank you, Grandpa Mou, but I'm afraid I'll cause you trouble."

Chu Yingying brushed her temples shyly, and put on her shoes lightly.

Ergazi put the quiver and bow bag on his shoulders, and immediately said: "It's nothing troublesome, little girl, you can go to sleep at my house, you can sleep in the same room with my daughter-in-law, as for your brother, just sleep with me." He should be wronged to be crowded with a rough guy like me."

After hearing this, Cui Yunhao quickly waved his hands and said, "No wrong, no wrong, we have been sleeping in the ruined temple for the past few days, and now we are so lucky to have a bed to sleep in! Uncle Ga, I am thin and small , it won’t take up much space, so it shouldn’t feel crowded.”

"Haha, that's good!" Er Gazi waved his hand and said with a bold smile, "Let's go, I'll take you back to my house, and we'll have barbecue together tonight."

"Yeah!" Chu Yingying and Cui Yunhao looked at each other, and smiled in unison.

The two bowed farewell to Grandpa Mou. The old man handed the safflower oil to Chu Yingying, and told her to wipe it every day, so that she could walk around freely when it was all finished. He also reminded Er Gazi to remember to go to the market Buy more shredded tobacco and smoke it for him.

Er Gazi smiled and nodded, and said "definitely" several times. He wanted to invite him to eat wolf meat at night, but the old man refused because of his bad teeth.
