With the help of the dim light, Yan Xi secretly glanced at the man next to him. He looked in his early twenties, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, with a little helplessness and embarrassment in his expression. Doesn't look like a bad guy.
Yan Xi asked: "How old are you?"
"twenty-three."
"Twenty-three, still very young. Have you ever been to school?"
The man nodded: "The school is far away from us. It takes more than two hours to walk back and forth. There is also a chain bridge, which is very dangerous. I didn't go to the sixth grade."
There was a hint of sympathy in Yan Xi's eyes. The man was a little proud: "In our place, I am already the most educated. My mother said that the girls in the town are not good enough for me, so she must find me a fairy-like figure."
So that's why he took a fancy to her? Yan Xi really didn't know if he should feel honored?
She collected herself and asked, "What's your name?"
"buckle."
"buckle?"
Kou nodded: "This is my Chinese name, which was given by my teacher when I was in school."
"This name is very special." Yan Xi praised, "Is your teacher a local?"
Button nodded: "Yes. He often said that his biggest regret is that he can't go out and have a look."
Yan Xi finally seized the opportunity: "Do you want to go out and have a look?"
"I?"
Yan Xi nodded: "Do you want to stay in this place for the rest of your life, and even marry a wife under your mother's orders? Have you ever thought that maybe you can go out and live a different life?"
Button smiled: "Impossible, our ancestors have lived here for generations, and no one has ever gone out."
Yan Xi said: "There is a first time for everything. Your grandparents have lived here for generations, but it doesn't mean you can't go out. You can be the first person. Button, have you ever thought about what a wife who will accompany you should be like? "
Kou glanced at her and shook his head.
Yan Xi said: "The outside world is huge, don't you want to see it? Do you believe in destiny?"
"Are you talking about husband and wife?"
Yan Xi nodded: "It is said that when God created man, he actually laid down four hands, four feet, and two heads. Later, he thought that such a man would be too powerful, so he split the man in half, half male Half female, so everyone has their destined half. You have too."
"Isn't it you?"
"It's not me." Yan Xi raised her bound hands. She was glad that the person she met still had something to say. Maybe it was God's favor for her. She had to convince him to let her go, "Can you just let me go first?" Can you untie the rope for me?"
"Grandma will scold you."
"Double, you are already an adult, you have read books and have your own ideas. I know you are a good person, and getting married today is not your idea. You are just following your mother's advice, aren't you?"
Button nodded.
"Your mother said that the girls in the town are not good enough for you, so what about yourself? Do you have a girl you like?"
Kou nodded: "She and I are classmates, named He. She didn't go to school until the third grade. There are three younger brothers and sisters in the family, so I can't afford her. My mother said that they have too many families, so they married her. It will hurt me."
Yan Xi asked: "Have you ever thought about going out with the crane?"
Kou opened his eyes wide in fear, going out is already something he dared not even think about, and he brought a crane with him, isn't this elopement? To them, elopement is an outrageous thing.
Yan Xi said: "Look at you, you are young and powerful, and you have read books. When you go outside, you can always find something to do. I think He must be a kind girl like you. You two support each other, and you will be able to Live a very happy life. We live in this world, what we pursue is to be a couple for a lifetime!"
Duan was a little emotional when he said: "Is it possible?"
Yan Xi nodded very positively: "You can study while working part-time, learn more things, see a wider range of things, learn more and see more, and you will know what kind of life you want to live. If you are afraid, you can bring the crane to me, and I will introduce you to work."
"Will you introduce jobs for us?"
Yan Xi raised his hand again: "You help me untie the rope, and I'll write you a phone number. When you make this call, just say that you want to work at his place, and that I introduced it. He will definitely agree. Oh, by the way, tell him that you still have to take the crane with you."
Button was really moved by her words, and he untied the rope that bound her. Yan Xi held his tired, swollen wrist and turnedTurn around: "Do you have a pen?"
Kou turned around, took out a pen from the table, and handed the diary to Yan Xi. The pen probably ran out of water, and Yan Xi stroked it several times, but he didn't write a single stroke. She said, "I have a pen in my bag, can I have my bag?"
Button didn't even think about it, went out, took her bag, came in, and gave it to her. Yan Xi took out his pen from his bag, and then his wallet. Take out the wallet, the money in it is gone.
Kou looked at her with some embarrassment: "I didn't take it."
Yan Xi smiled lightly: "I know, you wouldn't do such a thing."
While writing the phone number, Yan Xi began to think about what to do next? Knock him down by surprise and run away? She looked at the eye button, she was young and strong, but her taekwondo had not been practiced for many years and she was already unfamiliar, so she was not sure of winning if she made a rash move. If she doesn't hit the nail on the head, she won't stand a chance and destroy the trust built up with the button. In addition, her wallet was gone, and she was unfamiliar with the place, so she had nowhere to escape. This trick obviously doesn't work.
She gave up the written phone number.
Kou looked at the number on it and asked, "Can I really make this call?"
Yan Xi nodded: "Do you have a phone at home?"
Kou shook his head, but said quickly, "There's a telephone in the shop in town."
Yan Xi had a little impression of the store he mentioned. When she first asked for directions, she asked the owner of the store. She didn't have a bottle of water just to ask for directions, but when she saw the date on it, she found that it had expired. There was indeed a telephone on the dusty glass counter, and like many things in the store, it was dusty too. She was worried about whether the call could be made.
Yan Xi said: "Keep the number safe and don't let others know it."
Kou got the phone and put down his guard against Yan Xi. Because of the idea of ??taking the crane away, he and Yan Xi felt like an offensive and defensive alliance. He began to talk about some unbelievable customs in their town, and why his grandmother took a fancy to Yan Xi. From his narration, she knew that Kou's grandmother was a priest in the town and had high prestige in the town.
Kou said: "The first time Grandma saw you, she knew that your life was very good and that you would be rich and powerful."
"My life is good?" Yan Xi was a little dumbfounded. If someone had said this to her ten years ago, she might have believed it. "Thank you, Mom, for me."
Kou said seriously: "Believe me, my grandma is psychic, and she is very good at fortune-telling."
Yan Xi nodded: "I believe in you." (Remember the website URL: www.hlnovel.com
