Rebirth: Start to Save the Treasure Girl

Chapter 26 Little Rabbit

The bus slowly stopped.

The two got out of the car, Xue Rui stretched and looked around.

There are no tall buildings, only a lonely bus stop, surrounded by endless fields, green and full of vitality.

The school day at No. 2 Middle School ends at around 2:00 p.m., and from the time the two of them got on the bus, it was already past 5:00 p.m.

Xue Rui looked at the bus schedule at the bus stop and found that there was one last bus for today.

"Why should I look at this?" Xue Rui shook his head.

He would never take this bus again. It was a two-hour ride, and the car was shaking and crowded, with no air conditioning. For Mr. Xue, who usually traveled in a luxury car, it was simply a torture. He would just take a taxi back later.

"Let's go, you lead the way." Xue Rui said.

Looking at the scenery on both sides of the road, Xue Rui was amazed.

The countryside he imagined was muddy, full of dilapidated houses, wooden electric poles, and the smell of cow dung...

Because he was once "exiled" by his mother to a poor mountain village, where the conditions were indeed like that.

But it is not like this in Lin Ruoxi's village. The road surface has been hardened and is clean and tidy. Although there is still a faint smell of cow dung, it is obviously not as foul and pungent.

There is a huge wind turbine not far away, with its blades slowly turning. It combines modern and rural styles, and the scenery is very beautiful. It is more than one level higher than the urban area of ​​Hedong City.

"Your village is very beautiful, different from what I expected."

Xue Rui sighed and asked, "How long will it take? I feel like I've already walked three miles."

The bus stopped on a national highway, and the two walked a long way after getting off.

Lin Ruoxi was carrying a washed-out schoolbag on her back and holding a handbag in her hand, walking at a leisurely pace.

As for Xue Rui, he had no intention of doing his homework at all. He walked swaggeringly behind Lin Ruoxi with empty hands, pulling a dogtail grass from the roadside and holding it in his mouth, like a big boss.

Xue Rui picked up some foxtail grass as he walked, and finally had a handful of it in his hand.

"I remember that this grass can be used to weave a rabbit." Xue Rui murmured. He thought about it for a long time but had no clue at all.

When he was a child, he lived in the countryside, and his grandmother would use these straw rabbits to cheer him up.

Lin Ruoxi paused and pulled a few dogtail grasses from the roadside. She skillfully twisted them with her slender fingers, and the dogtail grasses instantly turned into a furry little rabbit with a pair of green ears standing up. It was extremely cute.

Lin Ruoxi lowered her head and handed the "little rabbit" to Xue Rui, as if nothing had happened, and continued walking with her head down.

Xue Rui fiddled with the rabbit ears and thought Lin Ruoxi was really amazing. She could even do this kind of thing.

So Xue Rui simply held the other end and held the grass rabbit in his mouth.

Soon, they passed by an apple orchard with red apples hanging on the trees. Xue Rui remembered that when he was a child in the village, he and his friends would steal peaches from other people's homes to eat.

We have it at home too, but it seems like other people’s tastes better.

Lin Ruoxi stopped, took off a rubber band from her wrist, gently put her hands behind her ears, and tied up all her hair.

"Hmm?" Xue Rui's eyes suddenly lit up.

Lin Ruoxi wore her hair down all day at school, like a female ghost, but when she got home she tied her hair up.

The beautiful white neck, the clearly visible collarbone, and the face that is so natural that it couldn't be more natural, complement the scenery here. More importantly, Lin Ruoxi is wearing a school uniform.

"Uniforms are great." Xue Rui admired Lin Ruoxi's beauty intently, feeling itchy in his heart.

Obviously Gu Muxue is just as beautiful, but he has been seeing her for too many years. Lin Ruoxi usually keeps a low profile, which makes Xue Rui unable to help but stare at her.

"It would be better to tie your hair up. If you let your hair down, the teacher will definitely scold you if you are not second in the grade." Xue Rui made a suggestion.

"It's better to wear it with your clothes on. If you tie it up..." Lin Ruoxi didn't continue.

Xue Rui suddenly thought, if Lin Ruoxi revealed her face, wouldn't she be the same as Gu Muxue, surrounded by a group of suitors every day?

Gu Muxue comes from a good family and has a confident personality, and she can reject everyone openly.

As for Lin Ruoxi, if she were to be entangled by that group of people, it would be a disaster...

The girl lowered her head to protect herself.

But, can I tie my hair up when I return to the village?

Just as Xue Rui was thinking this, Lin Ruoxi had already gone into the field, picked a lot of tomatoes and hid them in her schoolbag.

Xue Rui was surprised. It turned out that Lin Ruoxi was also a naughty little girl. One should not judge a person by his appearance.

Some people say one thing in front of others and another behind their backs. For example, Lin Ruoxi was stealing tomatoes from someone else's house.

Xue Rui suddenly felt that something in his body awakened. He looked around, keeping watch for Lin Ruoxi, and finally, seeing that there was no one on the side of the road, he also went down.

He climbed up the tree quickly, picked two apples, wiped them on his clothes and started eating them.

"Here." Xue Rui gave one to Lin Ruoxi. He thought that this little girl probably didn't dare to climb trees, so she only picked tomatoes.

"I didn't grow those apples." Lin Ruoxi reminded in a low voice.

Xue Rui held the apple in his hand and stopped in the air: "Did you grow the tomatoes?"

"This small piece of vegetable patch is mine." Lin Ruoxi stretched out her finger and drew a circle in the air on a piece of vegetable patch.

Xue Rui's eye twitched. He thought Lin Ruoxi was stealing tomatoes, so he followed suit and stole apples.

As a result, he was the only one who was stealing apples from other people's homes.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Xue Rui suddenly felt that his image had collapsed.

"You...didn't ask." Lin Ruoxi said weakly.

"..."

Xue Rui took out ten yuan and found a clod of earth to press under the apple tree.

The location is quite obvious, and the owner of the orchard should be able to find it. He can get on the bus first and buy the ticket later.

As they chatted and laughed, the two finally walked into the residential area, where many houses were lined up on both sides of the neat alleys.

It's just that the style... is very different. Some people's homes are three-story Western-style houses, some are old bungalows, or some old blue brick houses, and some are earthen houses covered with blue tiles.

The so-called earth house is not a house really built with earth, but a house made of clay mixed with some wheat straw and the like, which is put into a mold and dried, and then used as bricks to build a house.

Because there is no firing process, this type of house still retains its original earth color.

"I can't come here empty-handed." Xue Rui suddenly realized this problem when he passed by the convenience store.

He was so nervous when he set out, and also suffered from motion sickness along the way, that he suddenly remembered that he didn't bring any gifts.

"No need." Lin Ruoxi shook her head repeatedly when she saw Xue Rui was about to go in to buy something.

"I still want it."

Xue Rui walked into the store by himself and looked around, but there were no gift boxes or anything like that for sale.

But he thought that there were only two people in Lin Ruoxi's family, and the old lady probably wouldn't be so particular.

Moreover, for this hungry girl, rice, flour, grain and oil may be the most practical things.

He bought a barrel of soybean oil, a bag of noodles and a bag of rice.

Lin Ruoxi also bought some seasonings and some daily necessities such as toothbrushes and toothpaste.

All in all, it costs more than 200 yuan.

Xue Rui still had more than 300 yuan left by Ren Jun in his pocket, and wanted to pay it all at once, but Lin Ruoxi insisted on paying her share.

"Xixi, is this your classmate?" asked the shop owner.

"Well...I'm here for a home visit." Lin Ruoxi replied.

The two were walking in the village. The villagers saw a strange young man carrying a large bag of flour and greeted Lin Ruoxi one after another.

And Lin Ruoxi also greeted everyone one by one.

Fortunately, Lin Ruoxi's home is not far from the store, otherwise Xue Rui would not be able to walk a few miles with the seventy or eighty kilograms of stuff on his shoulders...

"Are we there yet?" Xue Rui asked with his neck tilted, his face covered with a lot of flour.

"We're here." Lin Ruoxi stood behind Xue Rui, raised her hand to hold the flour bag, to help Xue Rui save some energy.

Xue Rui took a deep breath and was about to walk up the steps to the bungalow in front.

Unexpectedly, Lin Ruoxi tugged at the corner of Xue Rui's clothes and pointed at the dilapidated earthen house next to the bungalow.

Lin Ruoxi pursed her lips, dodged her gaze, and said uncomfortably, "That's my home."
