Small town adventure

Chapter 23 Where's the Child?

Shui'er and Liu Jie simply tidied up and were ready to leave this place of right and wrong immediately.

Before leaving, Shui'er turned around and took a look at the place where he had stayed all night, and couldn't help but sigh again.This night can be regarded as thrilling, both of them walked back and forth behind the gate of hell.What I didn't expect was that there were four people who came, but only two people left this place in despair.

Speak if you have something to say, and keep it short if you have nothing to say.After a long journey, the two of them almost lost their way on the road. It took nearly three hours before they found a place that was populated.

It was only then that the two of them remembered that they hadn't eaten anything for a long time, they were frightened last night, and after walking for such a long time, their stomachs were already rumbling.Seeing the smoke from several farmhouses in front of him, he was so hungry that he went straight to a farmyard and wanted to beg for something to eat.

Liu Jie knocked on the door of this farmer's house, and an old lady who was almost sixty years old came out, and an old man of the same age stood behind her.The old lady looked suspiciously at the two haggard-faced uninvited guests in front of her, and said hoarsely, "What's the matter with you two?"

Liu Jie said politely: "I'm sorry, old man. The two of us are students of a university. We were painting nearby yesterday afternoon. When it rained suddenly, we stayed in a dilapidated courtyard all night. We haven't eaten anything all day and night. We’ve got something, we just want to ask for something to eat from you.”

When the two old men heard this, they looked up and down at the two young men in front of them, and saw that they were carrying painting tools behind them, and then they were relieved, and politely let them into the room.

The old grandma asked them to wait for a while, and then went into the backyard, leaving only the grandpa squatting at the door with a big smoke pot smoking dry tobacco.

Sitting at the table, Shui'er didn't know what to say for a moment, and felt that it would be difficult not to say anything.

Liu Jie pondered for a while and said to the old man, "Master, how are you two doing?"

The old man took a few puffs of cigarettes, and after a long while, he let out a "hmm" from the corner of his mouth, and then stopped talking.The scene was a little embarrassing.Liu Jie wanted to say something more, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it.

Not much effort.The old lady scrambled some eggs, and made some sweet potatoes and brought them into the house.Liu Jie and Shui'er thanked each other repeatedly.Liu Jie made friends with the old lady while eating, and asked why there were only two old people here, and where did the children go?
