Chapter 23 Departure from the next stop

Author: Longqian Harbor

After Pink Scorpion's inner elixir integrated with my body, my injuries healed quickly.

I buried the bodies of Yuanzi and Gouzi, and told his mother the news of Yuanzi's death.

After Motoko's mother found out what happened, she remained silent for a long time. She said to herself: "After all, I have received retribution! That's right!"

Seeing the old lady holding back her grief, I had no choice but to leave silently.

I continued to chase south based on the clues given by Tiansheng.

Not to mention that since I got Pink Scorpion's inner elixir, I have become much lighter when walking. I walked ten miles in one breath without breathing heavily.

It's getting late, and my stomach is growling with hunger.

"What does this smell like? It smells so good!"

I sniffed the aroma with my nose vigorously. Maybe I was too hungry! Everything looked like food now.

There was smoke rising from the woods ahead, and I stood on tiptoe to watch.

"There is a family here. It's great. I can have a good rest tonight."

People are often like this. After seeing hope, everything becomes insignificant.

I was crying "Gugu" just now because I was hungry, but now I can run and jump, and I don't feel hungry at all.

Soon I came to the door of that house. The house was made of wooden boards, and a layer of pine grease was painted on them to prevent the wooden boards from becoming mildewed when it rained.

"Thum! Thumb! Thunk!"

"Is anyone here?"

I asked excitedly, because I could vaguely see the people inside cooking!

"squeak!"

The door of the house was opened, and a little girl, about six or seven years old, walked out from inside!

The little girl had a very sweet voice and looked very cute. She had two ponytails and said playfully: "Sister, who are you looking for?"

I walked forward, half-crouched in front of her and said, "Little sister, I am a passerby. Now I am tired and hungry. I want to rest at your house for a night. Do you think it is okay?"

The little girl scratched her forehead and thought seriously.

"Beibei, who are you chatting with?"

At this time, another woman came out of the house, probably in her thirties. When the little girl saw the woman coming out, she ran over and said, "Mom, this eldest sister said that she is tired and hungry now, and she wants to rest at our house for a while."

Night."

After the little girl finished speaking, she stared at me with her eyes.

The woman came up and looked at it, and then asked: "Where are you from?"

I was careful not to tell the woman what I did, so I smiled and said, "I'm from Ning County, and I'm going to Min County to find relatives."

The woman said without thinking: "Come in quickly! We just finished cooking."

I smiled and asked the little girl: "Is your name Beibei?"

The little girl nodded vigorously, "Yes, what is your name?"

"My name is Ai'er, Liu Ai'er."

"My sister's name is really nice."

"Your name is also very nice! And you are so cute!"

Beibei's well-behaved and sensible appearance reminds me of me when I was a child. At that time, Beibei and I were really incomparable!

When we came inside the house, we found it was extremely simple and neatly decorated, but that was probably because there were few things!

Seeing that the food on the table was still steaming, my unsatisfied stomach began to growl again.

Beibei asked curiously: "Mom, mom, what is this sound?"

I looked at the mother and daughter awkwardly, smiled and said to Beibei, "Beibei, this is my sister's stomach growling."

Beibei scratched the back of his head and pouted and said, "My stomach still growls? Why does mine never growl?"

I almost laughed out loud after hearing this. This little girl is so cute.

He quickly explained: "Beibei, did you know? As long as it is hungry, it will bark.

Do you know why your stomach doesn’t growl?”

Beibei widened his eyes and asked, "Why?"

"That's because your mother never let you go hungry, so your stomach never growled!"

"Mom, is what eldest sister said true?"

Beibei believed what I said after seeing the woman nodding.

"Okay Beibei, don't disturb big sister while she's eating. Let her sit down quickly!"

As she spoke, the woman handed me a pair of chopsticks, and I took them and started eating.

While eating, he asked: "Sister-in-law, where is Beibei's father?"

Judging from the woman's expression, I probably asked a question that I shouldn't have asked.

The woman's smile gradually disappeared, and her face became a little sad. I guessed that something might have happened.

Beibei, who was standing by, suddenly said: "My father has gone to work in other places, and he will come to pick us up after he earns a lot of money.

Mom, am I right?"

After hearing her daughter's words, the woman quickly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, nodded quickly and said, "Yes, yes."

Maybe this is a white lie!

After dinner, while Beibei was asleep, the woman secretly told me: Her name is Sister Qiao, and she originally lived in the forest with her husband. Although they lived lonely lives, fortunately they loved each other.

Since having my daughter Beibei, there has been even more joy in the family.

One day, my husband Yunye went to the mountain to cut firewood and never came back. People nearby said they saw his body at the foot of the mountain.

It is said that Yun Ye went up the mountain to cut firewood that day and saw many beautiful flowers. He wanted to pick some back for his wife and daughter, but unfortunately it rained heavily that night and the ground was slippery, so he accidentally fell them.

From then on, whenever Beibei asked where her father was, Qiaojie would tell her that he was working outside to make money.

If you say it too much and for a long time, Beibei will believe it.

I couldn't help but sigh: "Maybe this is love, just like Tiansheng and Ya'er. Tian is willing to sacrifice everything for Ya'er, so Sister Qiao is also willing to sacrifice everything for her daughter."

After a busy day, I finally lay on the bed. Thinking about what happened in the past few days, I couldn't help but feel a chill in my back.

After thinking about it, I soon fell asleep.

In the dream, I saw my grandma pleading to me, "Ai'er, you must get your brother back! Grandma is begging you, I must get him back."

And what the old beggar said to me: "Good disciple, you must remember that although your eyes can see things that ordinary people cannot see, you can never see the back; you must always be on guard, remember, remember

!”

The last one is the strangest, because I only heard the sound, but I didn't know where the sound came from. "Sister, come on! Come to me! Why don't you come to me? Sister, sister..."

"Brother, younger brother..."

I suddenly sat up from the bed and looked around at the darkness.

"Oh! I have another nightmare."
