Chapter 17 The Heaven-defying Treasure Mirror(2/2)
He held his sister in his arms and looked at Hai Long tremblingly.
Hai Long tried his best to soften his expression and said with a smile, "Don't be afraid. I'm not a bad person. I was sleeping in the tree just now and saw you carrying such heavy firewood. I just wanted to help you." The sisters obviously didn't believe him very much.
Then my sister said in horror, "Don't come here. Uncle, we have no money and nothing to eat. Just let us go. If you want to give you all these firewood and firewood, if you want... I, I am willing to come with you."
My sister is still young, so please let her go."
Hai Long couldn't help but froze slightly when he heard what this "sister" said. A strange feeling arose in his heart. He knew that the sisters had already regarded him as a robber. "How do you know so much? You look so young! I'm really not a bad person.
I won't hurt you, otherwise why would I talk nonsense with you? Right?"
The sister murmured, "I'm already sixteen years old. My sister is already thirteen years old. It's just that we are smaller. Don't lie to us. No bad person can admit that he is a bad person. Parents."
It is often said that you must not trust outsiders." Their eyes flashed with vigilance and they were ready to run away at any time.
Seeing that the two sisters found it hard to believe, Hai Long had no choice but to sit on the ground and touch his beard under his chin. He smiled bitterly and said, "If you don't believe it, don't believe it. But don't call me uncle. I am only eighteen years old and nothing older than you. I
His name is Hai Long. What about you?"
The two sisters couldn't help but become bolder when they saw Hai Long sitting on the ground, as if he was indeed no threat to them. They took off the firewood behind their backs and their sister timidly said, "My name is Yuhua, this is my sister Yuping, are you really?"
Are you only eighteen years old? Why are your clothes so torn? Did you encounter a robber?" After seeing Hai Long's outfit clearly, the rural girl couldn't help but feel compassion.
Hai Long smiled bitterly and said, "Yes! I met a group of powerful bandits and they chased me for a long time. I finally got rid of them."
Yu Ping poked her head out of her sister's arms and said, "Then you are really pitiful! Come home with us. Our family has rice today. Ping Ping can share some of yours with you?"
Yuhua was obviously more wary. She pulled her sister and whispered, "Ping'er, don't talk nonsense. We can't just bring outsiders home. What if he is a bad guy? Who knows if what he said is true." Hai Long watched their hearts rise.
A trace of warmth. Jade Ping's childish and kind words made him feel a little homesick. He sighed softly and said, "It's already very late. You should go home. Go quickly or your parents will be worried."
"You don't have to doubt me. I'll just sit here and stay still. Goodbye, my two lovely sisters." As he said this, he waved to Sister Yuhua.
Yuhua looked at Hai Long's sincere face and murmured, "Are you really not a bad person? How about you come back to the village with us. My father is the village chief. If he says you are not a bad person, the village can take you in."
Hai Long was already annoyed by the tattered clothes and dirt on his body. Besides, he also wanted to go to the village where these two girls were to have a look and find out how they felt before. So he stood up and smiled and said, "Okay. If your father thinks that I am
If you are a bad person, I will leave immediately and I will not cause trouble for you." After saying this, Hai Long walked to the Yuhua sisters and bent down to carry their firewood and all their firewood on his shoulders. "It is not good for girls to carry so many things.
Yes. It will affect physical development."
Yuhua resisted and said, "No way. Even though I'm thin, I'm strong. But ordinary boys can't do anything better than me. Our village is very close to here, so hurry up and leave."
Under the leadership of the Yuhua sisters, Hailong followed them through the woods to a small mountain village. This small village was built close to the forest. All kinds of vegetation were planted around the village. The village was small and seemed to have only a hundred households.
Their clothes can no longer be described as simple. Most of them are patches within patches. Obviously this is a very poor place. Of course, compared with Hai Long's hundred-striped shirt, the clothes of these villagers are even luxurious.
The appearance of Hai Long, an outsider, immediately attracted the attention of the villagers. As soon as they entered the village, a dozen stronger male villagers gathered around them. They stared at Hai Long with a very unfriendly look. "You are
Who is he? Why did you come to our Yucun? Did you bring him here, Yuhua?"
Although Yuhua was young, she had a fierce temper. She put her hands on her hips and said, "So what? He is a man in distress and was robbed by robbers. I thought he was pitiful, so I brought him back."
A young man in his twenties said, "Is he pitiful? Even if he is pitiful, we can't take him in! Yuhua, don't forget that even our villagers don't have enough to eat now. If you have such a big living person, there will be one more mouth for our village."
The food is all prepared uniformly. If there is more food, everyone will have to eat less. How can we still have the energy to work?"
Yu Hua said angrily, "You're a selfish villain like Yu Jing. You know that even though he is an outsider, you can't let him starve to death in the forest."
During the quarrel, a middle-aged man came over with several villagers. This middle-aged man looked a bit old. His eyebrows were somewhat similar to those of the Yuhua sisters. Hai Long knew that these should be the Yuhua sisters.
My father is the village chief here. Sure enough, as the middle-aged man approached, the young male villagers all moved out of the way. The young man named Yu Jian rushed to say, "Village Chief Yu Hua brought back this savage from somewhere."
He doesn't look like a good person after being robbed by robbers! You can't take him in."
The village chief glanced at Yu Jian and strode up to Hai Long. Hai Long was already close to 1.8 meters tall and was taller than the village chief. He smiled and said, "Hello, village chief. My name is Hai Long."
The village chief, Yu Can, looked Hai Long up and down and couldn't help but feel secretly shocked. Although on the surface, this man's clothes were shabby, he faintly revealed a strange temperament, just like a mountain standing tall, making people awe-inspiring. Yu Can knew that the man in front of him was definitely not an ordinary person, and frowned, "
We in Yucun will never take in people of unknown origin. Please leave. Yushang will get a bag of sweet potatoes for this brother."
Yu Jian was stunned and said, "Village Chief, our food is also very limited! The summer seeds have just been allocated to the ground and it will take a long time until they mature."
Yu Cang glared and said, "Go if I tell you to. Where does all this nonsense come from? You are the village chief and I am the village chief?"
The look on Yu Jing's face fluctuated before he left unwillingly. Hai Long put the firewood on his back on the ground. Ever since their father appeared, the Yuhua sisters did not dare to say anything and stood aside with their heads lowered. Hai Long watched
There was no blame in the hearts of these poor villagers for their unwillingness to take them in. Everything in front of them was so similar to the small village in the west border where they were! The same dilapidation, the same desolation, and the same simplicity. Hai Long raised his head
He looked squarely at Yu Cang and said, "Village Chief Hongshu doesn't need it. I still have some food with me. It's just that these clothes are too shabby. Can you let me wash up and then provide me with some cleaner clothes? Of course I don't."
If you ask for your stuff for free, I can exchange it with some food."
Yu Cang thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay then. There's no need to exchange anything, but you have to leave our place immediately after washing up. Yu Hua goes and gets a set of my clothes for this brother."
Yuhua gave Hai Long a helpless look and said yes, turning around and running towards the depths of the village. Under the leadership of Yu Can, Hai Long followed him to a small river on the other side of the village. The clear river water was just like the one when Hai Long met Mo Kui.
The sound like a silver bell gives people a refreshing feeling.
After a while, Yuhua had already brought a set of cloth and rushed over. Yucang led the male villagers to surround Hailong in the center and let him wash up in the river. The Yuhua sisters stayed outside and waited. As the dirt on Hailong's body gradually faded,
The look of surprise in Yu Cang's eyes disappeared and became more and more intense. The silvery breast shield on Hai Long's chest made him feel shocked. Yu Cang even showed a greedy look. Hai Long's skin was smooth and shiny.
The strong body, covered by dirt, looks very strange with its halo flowing under the sunlight.
"Well, it's really comfortable to take a bath. Thank you, village chief." After changing into dry clothes, Hai Long felt his whole body relaxed. He combed his thick black hair back and walked in front of the village chief Yu Cang.
Upon hearing that Hai Long had finished washing, the Yuhua sisters couldn't wait to squeeze into the crowd. When Hai Long said that he was eighteen years old, they all wanted to verify it.
Yu Cang said, "Little brother, it turns out that you are so young and I really made a mistake. You can take this bag of sweet potatoes and eat it on the road. I'm sorry, this is all we can provide in Yucun."
Hai Long shook his head and said, "No, village chief, I can't ask for it. I can take a bath and change clothes. I'm already very satisfied. I have my own way of eating. I can't keep these clothes in vain. I'll help you catch some fish to eat."
Yes. Why don’t you fish when you’re guarding such a river?”
Yu Cang sighed and said, "Little brother, I'm not afraid of you laughing at us. We are really too poor here and we are in the inland area. The price of fishing nets is so high that we can't afford it at all. The river doesn't look wide, but the water is very deep."
