Rebirth: Start to Save the Treasure Girl

Chapter 27 Don't Miss It
"Is that your home?" Xue Rui asked in surprise.

The mud house was very old, with some tiles missing from the roof. I didn't know if it leaked, and the walls were slightly cracked.

Dry firewood was neatly piled under the eaves, and there was a chicken coop in the corner. A rooster and several hens were leisurely walking in the yard.

Earthen houses are actually very common in rural areas. Generally, they are left vacant because people buy a house in the city and do not plan to move back to the countryside.

But that mud house was Lin Ruoxi's home? This was really beyond his expectations.

"It's my home." Lin Ruoxi murmured, looking embarrassed.

Xue Rui's surprised reaction was within her expectations.

"I heard that this kind of house is warm in winter and cool in summer, and is the most suitable for living."

Xue Rui comforted her casually, saying that this silly girl must have made a great determination to bring her classmate home.

Striding into the dirt yard, before Xue Rui could put his things down, a big yellow dog rushed over with its teeth bared.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

The big yellow dog was barking at Xue Rui, moving its body forward and backward, as if it was ready to bite Xue Rui at any time.

"Da Huang, be quiet!"

Lin Ruoxi gave a gentle scolding, which had no killing power, but Dahuang's eyes suddenly became clear, his tail kept wagging, and he lowered his eyebrows and rubbed against Lin Ruoxi's legs.

"People are worse than dogs."

Xue Rui placed the things in the kitchen as instructed by Lin Ruoxi.

The kitchen is a separate room located in the corner of the yard. In fact, it should be more accurately called the kitchen, because there is a stove inside and you can smell the strong smell of smoke as soon as you enter.

"Xixi is back." An old voice came from the house.

The old lady was wearing a sweatshirt, her waist was bent almost 90 degrees, she walked with a limp, and her face was covered with wrinkles.

"Grandma, I'm Xixi, and I came to see you specially."

Xue Rui greeted her warmly, his voice particularly loud, as he was afraid that the old lady was hard of hearing and couldn't hear him.

This old lady looks to be in her seventies and is not in good health. Birth, aging, sickness and death are the norm in the world. Could it be that the life of this old lady is tied to Lin Ruoxi?
But now, the old lady can walk and laugh, how could it be this year's Mid-Autumn Festival?
"Grandma, sit down and have a rest. I'll go cook." Lin Ruoxi's eyes curved when she saw the old lady.

“She can laugh.”

Lin Ruoxi's smile seemed to brighten up the world.

It was the first time Xue Rui saw Lin Ruoxi smile. She was pretty, and even prettier when she smiled. He leaned forward to take a few more glances, until Lin Ruoxi's cheeks turned red, and she lowered her head and walked into the kitchen...

"Why is it a boy?" the old lady muttered.

Xue Rui was not hard of hearing, and said unhappily: "Old lady, men are not good enough? Women can't carry 50 kilograms of flour."

"Okay, okay, boy, hello."

The old lady walked unsteadily, carrying a chair, and took a lot of effort to sit down. Xue Rui didn't care much, he was wearing school uniform pants anyway, so he sat down on the bluestone slab of the steps, next to the old lady.

"Old lady, why don't you go to the village entrance and sit with your old sisters." Xue Rui asked casually.

"It doesn't matter where you sit, you're just waiting to die." The old lady shook her head.

Xue Rui was speechless because the old lady was right.

The old men and women at the entrance of the rural village are just like the regularly refreshed NPCs.

They sat at the entrance of the village with no purpose, just to kill the remaining time. To put it bluntly, they were just waiting to die, because there was really nothing else to do.

"Uh-huh-huh."

Xue Rui was bored, so he called Da Huang using the ancestral formula, thinking of petting the dog for fun.

Dahuang was hanging around the kitchen door. When he heard the voice that awakened his genes, he subconsciously turned around and wagged his tail. But when he saw that it was Xue Rui calling him, he looked at her with disgust and turned his head away instantly.

"Fuck, has it become a spirit?"

Xue Rui was amazed. Da Huang’s eyes were the same as those of a human.

Not long after Lin Ruoxi entered, white smoke began to come out of the chimney on the roof. The smoke from cooking curled up, and the mud house and yard gave it a unique rural feel. In a dozen years, this kind of scene would basically disappear.

Smoke rose up and Lin Ruoxi came out, holding a plastic bag with the things she had just bought. There was a smear of black dust on the tip of her nose, which made her look very cute.

"Here's... the toothpaste, toothbrush, and towel I bought for you. These are the best in the village. You...just make do with them."

Lin Ruoxi said with a blushing face, she knew Xue Rui's family was well-off, and wondered if he could get used to these things.

"Bought it for me?" Xue Rui was surprised. Could it be that this silly girl asked him to stay overnight?

Thinking of this, Xue Rui couldn't help but get excited.

"There are no more buses after dinner, and you can't get a taxi here." Lin Ruoxi explained.

"That's really... such a pity!" Xue Rui had a look of regret on his face, as if he was very reluctant, but in fact he was very happy in his heart.

He thought to himself, this silly girl, doesn't she know what a phone is? You can call a taxi by calling the taxi number, even in the countryside.

He changed his mind and thought that Lin Ruoxi was still living in an era when people used fire to cook, so it was normal for her not to know.

"Such a simple and lovely girl, but a little silly."

Xue Rui deliberately made a regretful expression, held back his laughter, and kept shaking his head, his whole face almost twisted into a mess.

Seeing Xue Rui so upset, Lin Ruoxi thought that Xue Rui was very reluctant to live in this mud house, so she said weakly:

"You sleep in my room. My room is quite clean."

"Then I will accept it reluctantly." Xue Rui tried hard to suppress the corners of his mouth.

Is there such a good thing in the world?
Gu Muxue and Lin Ruoxi, both of them are S-level beauties, but the difficulty of clearing the level...

One is a hell-level copy, and the other is a novice guidance tutorial.

Until today, Xue Rui had not been able to take advantage of Gu Muxue, and there were still teeth marks on his arm;

As for Lin Ruoxi, after just a few tricks, she took the initiative to hug Xue Rui and even gave her her room.

If he used the same method on Lin Ruoxi to repeat it on Gu Muxue, I'm afraid that before Xue Rui even opens his mouth, Gu Muxue will guess that Xue Rui is up to no good.

"What are you cooking?"

Xue Rui had just eaten an apple and a tomato, so he wasn't very hungry now.

But he was still curious, what did Lin Ruoxi usually eat? Why was Da Huang at home fatter than her?

In fact, dogs in rural areas will go out hunting on their own, catching voles and the like to satisfy their hunger.

"Eat noodle."

Lin Ruoxi finished speaking and went back into the kitchen.

Xue Rui poked his head out curiously. Hot water was boiling in a large pot in the kitchen. Lin Ruoxi brought out a washbasin, and the two of them squeezed in front of the kitchen door.

"There's dust on your face." Xue Rui took advantage of Lin Ruoxi's lack of hands and pinched Lin Ruoxi's little nose.

Then, the black ash on the tip of the nose was evenly spread.

There were two long finger marks on Lin Ruoxi's face, like a little cat...

With her slender arms inserted into the basin, she rhythmically pressed the dough. From time to time, she gently wiped the sweat from her forehead with her wrist and tucked her hair behind her ears.

The production process looks unhygienic, as the worker is not wearing a headgear and is wiping sweat. Some of the sweat may have melted into the dough, but Xue Rui doesn't care.

The beautiful girl had dust on her face and was kneading dough in her hands. If this production process were to happen in a certain cherry blossom country, a bowl of noodles would probably be sold at a sky-high price.

"Handmade noodles?" Xue Rui was a little expectant.

Shanxi Province is a major noodle-producing province, but with the changes of the times, restaurants outside have begun to use machine-pressed fresh noodles, which are different from handmade noodles. This kind of purely handmade noodles can usually only be eaten at home.

How many girls are willing to cook these days? Especially girls who can knead dough, you can't miss them.

Lin Ruoxi's hands that were kneading the dough suddenly paused. She suddenly remembered that she had been eating very well at school these days. How could she treat Xue Rui with noodles?
