After walking around the village and finding nothing of value, I could only focus on the farmhouse where Mr. Xu once stayed.
So, I asked the old village chief: "Old village chief, is there any place where we can stay here for one night? The environment here is really great, and my wife and I plan to stay here for a few more days." "
After hearing what I said, the old village chief didn't know whether it was because of pride or some other reason. He smiled happily and said: "Okay, even if you didn't say it, I originally planned to suggest that you stay a few more nights. We don't do this here. There are many beautiful places around the village worth visiting, and of course you can stay a few more days if you want."
I hurriedly said: "The old village chief is right, it's rare for us to find such a good place, so of course we have to take a stroll."
The old village chief said again: "Then why don't you stay at my house?"
Live in the old village chief¡¯s house? I quickly shook my head and said, "That's no need, right? We've been bothering the old village chief for so long, and we'll really feel bad about bothering you again."
"No trouble, no trouble"
I continued: "How about this? To be honest, we actually inquired in nearby towns before coming here and heard that there is a farmhouse in your village. How about we stay there?"
"Farmhouse?" The old village chief was stunned for a moment, and his expression suddenly became a little unnatural, but he immediately recovered his smile and said, "You are talking about Widow Liu's house, right? Okay, then I will take you there."
With that said, the old village chief led us to the edge of the village, in front of a stilted building next to the water.
"Widow Liu! Come out, there are guests in the village!" The old village chief shouted to the stilted building, then turned back to us and said: "Widow Liu and her husband had been working in other places, and then her husband died in other places. , Widow Liu returned here and opened the only farmhouse in the village. However, I suggest that you¡¯d better stay at my house. There are already several guests staying at Widow Liu¡¯s place. She also has three children to take care of, and she may not be able to take care of them. Good two."
I insist on living here solely because I want to find out the whereabouts of Mr. Xu and his wife. Therefore, Lin Qianyi and I naturally could not agree to the old village chief's kind invitation.
Seeing our insistence, the old village chief couldn't help showing a look of regret on his face, but this expression only flashed by. Just at this time, a beautiful woman who looked to be in her thirties ran out of the stilted building.
The old village chief rushed forward to greet us and whispered a few words in Widow Liu¡¯s ear. He didn¡¯t know what he said, but Widow Liu¡¯s eyes unconsciously glanced towards Lin Qianyi.
Not long after, the old village chief led Widow Liu towards us. After some introductions, he said goodbye to us and left.
After the old village chief left, Widow Liu immediately greeted her warmly. Like other villagers, Widow Liu also showed unusual enthusiasm for Lin Qianyi. She grabbed her hand and touched her here and there, mouthing. Li has been praising Lin Qianyi for her beauty, which makes Lin Qianyi feel a little embarrassed.
But I noticed something was wrong with the way Widow Liu looked at Lin Qianyi, because I actually noticed a trace of greed in her eyes?
The stilted building in Widow Liu¡¯s house has four floors. The first floor is the hall and canteen. She told us that when we want to eat in the evening, we can come here and she will prepare food for us. The fourth floor is where she and her three sons live. As for the second and third floors, there are guest rooms for guests. There are eight rooms in total. Seven guests have already stayed, and only the last room is left.
Widow Liu first asked us to register our names in a book, and then led us into the last room. I was a little dumbfounded because there was only one bed in that room!
I just heard Widow Liu say: "This is my couple's room here. Are you two satisfied?"
Seeing the only wooden bed in the room, I couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. Although I had already thought about pretending to be a couple with Lin Qianyi, my original plan was to find a room with two beds. I settled in, but I didn't expect that I would be lying on the same bed with her now. This made me really embarrassed, and I couldn't help but glance at Lin Qianyi beside me.
But Lin Qianyi¡¯s face didn¡¯t show anything strange. I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s because of her good acting skills or because she has no idea about sleeping in the same bed with me.
? ???At this time, there was the sound of walking up the stairs in the corridor, and a young man with a flat head who looked to be in his twenties came down from upstairs holding a quilt. I originally thought that person might be the same as us. A guest, but who knew, I heard him shout to Widow Liu: "Mom, I heard from my brother that there are guests again? This is a clean bedding."
mom? Lin Qianyi and I looked at each other in surprise. Widow Liu looked like she was only in her thirties. How could she have such an old son? Could it be that she gave birth to a child when she was a teenager? If I hadn't been so thin-skinned, I would have almost wanted to ask Widow Liu this question.
Widow Liu took the quilt from her son, and then said to him: "These are the two. Ah Wu, say hello to the guest."
After the young man with a flat head glanced at me, his eyes turned to Lin Qianyi. Then his face suddenly turned red for no reason, his mouth was slightly open, and he could not speak.
On the other side, after Widow Liu carried the quilt into the room for us, she saw her son standing outside, and immediately said angrily: "Awu, why are you so rude? Say hello to the guest quickly!"
The young man named Awu came to his senses at this time, lowered his head and said hello to us, then ran back upstairs as if running away.
Widow Liu gave her son a strange look, then smiled at us and said, "I'm sorry, my son has a weird temper."
"It's okay." We both shook our heads and said we didn't mind.
After putting our luggage in the room, Lin Qianyi and I originally planned to look around in Widow Liu's stilted building, especially the room where Mr. Xu and his wife lived, and maybe we could find something related to Xu. Clues about Mr. and Mrs.
¡°However, we don¡¯t know what happened, but Widow Liu kept hanging around us, finding some excuses to get close to us from time to time, so that we had no chance to inquire about the information.
After once again driving away Widow Liu who brought hot water, I told Lin Qianyi that continuing like this was not an option. I don¡¯t know if Widow Liu was too idle or too enthusiastic. She looked like this, and we didn¡¯t have it at all. method to investigate. Instead of continuing to waste time here, it would be better for the two of us to go out and walk around first. Because we were accompanied by the old village chief just now, we haven't carefully inspected some places.
Lin Qianyi also felt that what I said made sense, so we said hello to Widow Liu, made an appointment to come back for dinner in the evening, and then left the stilted building.
After coming out of the building, when the two of us were discussing where to go first, I suddenly heard a noise behind me. When I turned around and looked back, I found that Awu was arguing with Widow Liu about something by the window on the fourth floor of the stilted building, and Awu's hand was still pointing at us.
At this time, Widow Liu by the window seemed to see me looking at them, and immediately pulled Awu into the room from the window, and then closed the window.
strangeness¡¡
Although I couldn¡¯t hear clearly what they were saying just now, I didn¡¯t know why, but I had a feeling that the matter that Widow Liu and A Wu were arguing about just now seemed to be related to Lin Qianyi. What could it be? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
