Chapter 22 Not aggrieved

"Guangde County is a bit far from here. Are you two the only ones who came here by yourself? Where are your parents?" The old man looked at the two of them with a look full of compassion and asked softly.

"Both our parents are dead." When talking about her parents, Chu Yingying couldn't help but feel sad. She glanced at Cui Yunhao, shook her head and said: "We originally went to visit relatives with the fellow villagers, but then we accidentally

We got separated from them, and in the end, only we, brother and sister, depended on each other."

"Two poor kids, they are still so young, they must have suffered a lot along the way, right?" The old man took a puff of cigarette and looked at Chu Yingying from the left and Cui Yunhao from the right. They were all skinny.

Lonely, he couldn't help but sigh quietly.

The distressed look in his eyes was like watching his own grandchildren suffer, giving people a sense of intimacy.

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

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

His voice, face, and smile are just like before his eyes.

"My sister has been taking care of me along the way. She has indeed suffered a lot."

Cui Yunhao glanced at Chu Yingying as he spoke, and immediately puffed up his chest, showing a manly spirit, "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!"

The red sun kisses the western mountains gently, but the setting sun has faded.

"It's getting dark, so just stay overnight in our village today. When your injury heals, I'll ask Daniu to drive you on a mule cart tomorrow."

After Cui Yunhao heard this, he hurriedly waved his hands and said: "I'm not aggrieved, I'm not aggrieved. We have been hiding in the ruined temple to sleep these days. Now we have a bed to sleep on. We are so lucky! Uncle Ga, I am too thin.

, it won’t take up much space, so it shouldn’t feel crowded.”

Ergazi slung the arrow pot and bow bag on his shoulders and said immediately: "It's no trouble. Little girl, you can go to my house to sleep. You can sleep in the same room with my wife and daughter. As for your brother, just

I have to give him a hard time and squeeze in with a rough guy like me."

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

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

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

Chu Yingying curled up her temples shyly and put on her shoes lightly.

Chu Yingying was a little moved when she heard this, her nose felt sour, and she thought: Little Mouse, this guy is quite conscientious! He knows how to protect me.

The old man was smoking a cigarette and looking at the sky outside the window, and said to Chu Yingying with a kind face.

"Haha, that's good!" Ergazi waved his hand and smiled boldly: "Let's go, I will take you back to my house, and let's have barbecue together in the evening."

"Yeah!" Chu Yingying and Cui Yunhao looked at each other and responded with a smile in unison.

The two of them bowed farewell to Grandpa Mou. The old man handed the safflower oil to Chu Yingying and told her to rub it every day until she was fully recovered before she could move around freely. He also reminded Ergazi to remember to go to the market.

Buy some more tobacco and smoke it for him.

Ergazi smiled innocently and nodded, saying "sure" several times. He originally wanted to invite him to eat wolf meat with him in the evening, but the old man declined because of his bad teeth.
