The demon emperor doesn't want to be a white lotus

Chapter 25

When they walked out of the Dong family's hut again, the two bumped into Dong's mother who was serving food in the house. She laughed when she saw You Miao, "Have you rested? I was going to ask Xiaozheng to call You guys, I didn't expect you to wake up. Are you hungry? The meal is ready, just waiting for you!"

You Miao also had a good impression of this kind woman, and even offered to help with the chopsticks.

When walking into the house, he bumped Xing Ji's shoulder, "Come back to your senses, it's time to eat."

"Oh", Xing Ji has been laughing since he came out. He doesn't feel anything, but it looks very strange to outsiders.

A man with the appearance of a tall, burly man smiled so much that the corners of his mouth almost reached his ears. Most people would definitely be frightened when they saw it.

Straightening his mind, Xing Ji rubbed his face, his expression finally returned to normal, and followed You Miao into the room.

The previous kiss made him float up, and now he is still in a dream, to the point where he wants to laugh when he sees You Miao.

The Dong family was already waiting at the dinner table, but before You Miao and Xing Ji came, no one moved their chopsticks first.

You Miao was a little embarrassed, and pulled Xing Ji to sit down, "You don't have to wait like this."

Only the eldest son of the Dong family is married and has a child. The only child is the boy who ran into You Miao from outside not long ago. His name is Dong Zheng.

Before You Miao and the others sat down, Dong Zheng was staring at the chicken on the table, his eyes almost glowing green, but he didn't dare to do anything because his father was watching.

You Miao and Xing Ji only picked up the chopsticks that were placed on the bowl, while Dong Zheng ignored his own father's stare, put down the chopsticks, twisted it twice, tore off a chicken leg, and ate it voraciously. stand up.

"Xiao Zheng!"

Old Dong was a little angry, and just wanted his eldest son to take him aside for dinner, but You Miao stopped him, "You don't have to do this, just let him eat here."

"Well, it's good that the two gentlemen don't dislike it." After saying that, Old Dong gave his grandson a hard look, and then he lowered his head to eat.

You Miao didn't move the dishes on the table, he stirred the bowl twice with his chopsticks, and took a mouthful of rice into his mouth.

After swallowing the first mouthful, he looked up and found that Dong Zheng was looking at him.

"..."

Perhaps it was because the child's eyes were too eager, You Miao hesitated and stretched out her chopsticks, following Dong Zheng's gaze, picked up some vegetables and ate them.

The taste is not bad.

Looking up again, I saw Dong Zheng smiling, with bright eyes, as if saying: How about it, I recommend it, it must be delicious.

After dinner, You Miao proposed to go around the village. Old Dong originally wanted to lead the two out in person, but You Miao refused.

"You don't need to lead the way, you go to work, we just look around, we won't go far."

Old Dong wasn't a wink either, he saw that they really didn't want to be followed, so he didn't force him any more, and after a few more words, he went to work in the field with his son.

Walking out of the gate of Dong's small courtyard, Xing Ji looked back and exchanged glances with You Miao.

Behind them, Dong Zheng hid in the corner and quietly followed.

The child was holding a wooden toy in his hand, and walked along the corner of the wall with his waist bent in a decent manner, as if he wanted to go forward but dared not.

Xing Ji asked in a low voice: "What should I do?"

You Miao slightly tilted her head to look over, slightly raised the corners of her mouth, "Let him go."

Even though he said that, when he continued to walk forward, he still slowed down without any trace.

Dong Zheng just followed them all the way, watching the two of them wandering aimlessly in the village, and finally couldn't help but ran out from the corner.

"What are you looking for?"

He looked up at You Miao, wanting to get closer but nervously didn't know how to place his hands and feet, "I'm familiar with the village, I can take you there."

"We..." Xing Ji wanted to answer, but found that Dong Zheng was staring at You Miao with a pair of big round eyes, without even looking at himself, he opened his mouth and spoke again. Swallowed it back.

He could tell that the Dong family liked You Miao better.

The fact is indeed the case, You Miao can feel it, "We want to find someone, have you seen the woman who rented a house from your grandfather?"

Dong Zheng: "The sister in the red dress?"

elder sister······

You Miao paused for a moment, and then said: "Yes, wearing a red dress, besides your house, did she go to other places in the village?"

Dong Zheng thought for a while, then shook his head: "No, many people noticed her as soon as she entered the village, but she only came to our house."

At that time, other people in Tonghua Village thought that some distant relatives had come to Dong's family. For example, a wealthy family suddenly learned that they had a poor relative, and they made up rumors that they would show mercy and come to help them, and it was very popular in the village for a while. .

You Miao: "She just rented the house, didn't say anything else?"

"Other things?" Dong Zheng didn't understand what You Miao was talking about, "She gave my grandfather money, saying that someone would come and live in our house... that's all."

You Miao knew that there might be nothing to ask, it seemed that they needed to find out the purpose of the drinking by themselves.

"Oh, I remembered!"

Dong Zheng suddenly stepped forward and grabbed the corner of You Miao's clothes, "That sister mentioned the tung tree outside the village!"

"Tung tree?" You Miao glanced at Xing Ji, squatted down, tried to look at Dong Zheng's eyes as much as possible, supported his shoulder, and said softly, "What did she say?"

Dong Zheng: "It seems to mean that the tung tree is blooming, and it's raining."

You Miao: "Is there anything else?"

Dong Zheng scratched his head embarrassingly: "I only remember so much."

You Miao stood up and took Dong Zheng's hand, "Can you take us to Tongshu?"

"Okay", the child was very happy, and pulled You Miao forward: "Come with me!"

Xing Ji, who was ignored the whole time: "..."

You Miao ran two steps back to look at him, and stretched out the other hand towards him, "Will Lord God of War also hold hands? I have one hand that is still free."

There was still a smile on his face when he spoke, and Xing Ji stared at him in a daze. After a while, he shook his head helplessly, stepped forward, and followed him unhurriedly.

What is holding hands in public?He is not a child.

Dong Zheng ran for a while, but stopped after meeting their neighbor next door.

You Miao looked at him curiously.

When Dong Zheng faced You Miao, the innocence and liveliness unique to children disappeared. He seemed to be very afraid of seeing other people in the village. The little hand slowly clenched.

He seemed to be very afraid, especially when he saw someone approaching him, he almost hid behind You Miao.

"Isn't this Xiao Zheng?" A man walked towards the three of them, he stretched out his hand to rub Dong Zheng's head, but was avoided.

He didn't seem to care. He looked at You Miao and Xing Ji when he retracted his hand with a smile, "You two are the guests of the old Dong's house, right? Are you here to play? Although our Tonghua Village is remote, there are many good things in and out of the village. , I have been hunting in the mountains with my father since I was a child, I know every trail in this mountain, if you need any help, you can find me."

As soon as the man opened his mouth, other people began to surround him, talking to You Miao in different ways, seemingly enthusiastic, but actually more like selling himself to the two of them.

As the news spread in the village that someone gave old Dong a large sum of money, You Miao and Xing Ji became two pieces of meat on the table. "They definitely can't finish it" as the reason, trying to get a share of it.

In their eyes, You Miao and Xing Ji are the sons of rich families in the city who go to the countryside to play when they have nothing to do, the kind who are stupid and have a lot of money, and they can spend a lot of money on a house.

You Miao didn't like these people, he frowned, logically speaking, when he didn't want others to approach, no one could walk within two steps of him.

But now, his displeasure was already written on his face, and the people who should have retreated two steps away were still in place.

How is this going?You Miao looked at her palm with a puzzled expression.

Xing Ji noticed that You Miao's expression was not right, and relied on his size advantage to open a passage, pulling You Miao and Dong Zheng out of the crowd.

The villagers did not follow. They looked at the backs of the three when they left, and almost all of them murmured in their hearts, jealous of the Dong family's luck this time.

The man who spoke to You Miao first, that is, the hunter, turned his head and spat on the ground, "I really don't know how Old Dong hooked up with people."

"Isn't it!" said a person standing beside him, "Did you see what those two people were wearing? Is that a high-quality brocade? It's worth a lot of money just by looking at it. It must not be worn by ordinary people." worth it."

"What important person will come to our Tonghua Village?"

"That's right, who knows..."

And when everyone was talking about it, someone suddenly mentioned a past event, "Do you still remember the third girl from the Dong family?"

"Dong Ruolan? Isn't that the one who had an affair with someone and gave birth to a child? I remember, she looks pretty!"

"What do you mean? Why did you mention her suddenly?"

"I was near Dong's house the day she took the child home. I heard old Dong say that she picked up the child."

"How is it possible? Some people say that they saw her and had a private meeting with someone. They said that the one who picked her up must be a lie. Otherwise, how would you marry?"

"Such watery flowers, I guess the two men just now were caught by the old Dong with their girls, right?"

"Probably not, isn't that girl long gone..."

"You listened to old Dong's nonsense, and probably ran away because of embarrassment."

"So, these two rich men are here for other girls."

As soon as this sentence came out, it seemed that someone really saw the situation of Lao Dong selling his daughter, and all of them showed mocking expressions for a while, but there was something that no one could see hidden under the contempt, and they found something serious secret excitement.

The hunter smiled obscenely: "Then we can't rob him. After all, not every father can be so determined to make money from his daughter."

Someone teased him: "You think, you have to have a girl as beautiful as Dong Ruolan first."

"Hahaha, that's it."

Everyone laughed when they heard this.
