The driver saw that Jiang Lai brought two more children into the car, and looked curiously at Bei Xiaowu and Chi Xiaohong in the rearview mirror.

"Is it settled?" the driver asked Jiang Lai with a smile.

Jiang Lai smiled, imitating the driver's master's accent, "It's still a family, it's a family."

The driver laughed, "That's a happy event."

"Hi." Jiang Lai pouted and glanced back.

Jiang Lai didn't know that Bei Xiaowu was staring at him, so he suddenly turned his head and met his eyes, feeling a numbness for no reason.

Whether it was Bei Xiaowu's eyes, or some other reason, Jiang Lai felt a little weird.

He looked back again, and Bei Xiaowu was still staring at him, but this time his gaze was softer, with a faint smile on his face.

"What are you looking at me for?" Jiang Lai asked.

Bei Xiaowu lowered his head with a smile, and shook slightly, "No."

There is only one explanation that can explain this small electric current rushing around the body, probably because he is too sleepy and has a problem with his brain. Bei Xiaowu will never have any thoughts about himself that he should not have, absolutely not.

"Brother?" The car was driving on the potholed mountain road. After a long silence in the car, Bei Xiaowu suddenly called out softly.

"Ah?" Jiang Lai didn't look back, but closed his eyes slightly and fell asleep.

"Have you booked a ticket for tomorrow?" Bei Xiaowu asked.

"No," Jiang Lai said, "I was afraid I wouldn't be able to leave, so I said it on purpose."

"Oh."

"What's wrong?" Jiang Lai opened his eyes and glanced back.

"No." Bei Xiaowu tensed his jaw and turned his head out of the window.

If Jiang Lai did not show up and continued to stay in that house, Bei Xiaowu knew that he and Chi Xiaohong would not be able to escape so quickly.Jiang Lai is good at cutting through messes with a sharp knife, and is also good at looking at things mixed with sensibility with a rational eye.

This made Bei Xiaowu feel at ease, but also faintly afraid.

Jiang Lai treats others as cruelly as he treats himself, it must be.

Looking at the same scenery outside the window, Bei Xiaowu and Jiang Lai were silent.Jiang Lai saw Bei Xiaowu with the window open in the rear seat several times from the rear-view mirror outside the car, and wanted to say something to ease the atmosphere, but in the end he didn't say anything.

"Master," Chi Xiaohong patted the driver's shoulder lightly after shedding tears secretly, "Can you stop at the entrance of the village in front?"

Jiang Lai and Bei Xiaowu shifted their gazes to Chi Xiaohong, "What's wrong?"

Chi Xiaohong sniffed, "My cousin's house is right there, the one with the red roof. I'll go and talk to her, and it won't take a few minutes."

"Oh." Bei Xiaowu and Jiang Lai turned their gazes out of the window again.

Last summer, Chi Xiaohong's 15-year-old cousin had sex with a boy from the same village.The boy said that he would take his cousin to work outside. At that time, the two of them were so close that they wanted to wear a pair of pants. The cousin ran to Chi Xiaohong's house every day and told her everything.

Later, the boy went to the ancient city first, saying that he would pick up his cousin when he found a place to live and a job, but there was no news for half a year. When the boy came back, he did make a lot of money and opened an agricultural machine repair shop in the town. For some reason, I never contacted my cousin again.

Chi Xiaohong didn't know anything about love, and what troubled her most at that time was how to persuade her parents not to marry herself to a widower in the next village.

Later, my cousin went to the town to find the boy several times, and the boy's family members were bothered by the search. They were all from the same village, and the girl's family felt very embarrassed when they found out.

Then the cousin's parents explicitly forbade her to go out again.Originally, the boy gave the girl an old mobile phone, but it was also confiscated.In the past six months, Chi Xiaohong has been thinking about her younger sister very much. Her younger sister's family has better conditions and has read more books than her. She doesn't want her younger sister to suffer the same fate as herself.

The car stopped, and Chi Xiaohong ran to the house with the red roof.Bei Xiaowu and Jiang Lai got off the bus for activities.

"Then how do we go back? There are no tickets for the train." Bei Xiaowu asked Jiang Lai.

Jiang Lai smiled, "Don't you just want to have fun?"

Bei Xiaowu's expression froze, a random tinge of red appeared on his cheeks and ears, "I don't want to play, and I'm in a hurry to go back to work."

"Come on, I took a week off from a part-time company, don't think I don't know." Jiang Lai curled his lips.

"I'm not sure when to go back, I'm afraid of delaying work." Bei Xiaowu quibbles.

Jiang Lai continued to curl his lips, "You just said you want to come out to play with me, can you die?"

Bei Xiaowu opened his mouth slightly, he didn't know how Jiang Lai figured out his mind, but he thought it was amazing anyway.In fact, before Wang Yue came to the house, he really had no idea about going out during the holidays.

But listening to Wang Yue and Xiaoxin discussing where to go, what to do in the morning, what to do in the afternoon, and what to do in the evening, I really want to have such a chance to go out.

"You..." Bei Xiaowu closed his mouth and turned his head away, "You always feel too good about yourself."

"Tch!" Jiang Lai shook his head and got into the car, still comfortable with the air conditioner, the sun was already high outside.

Bei Xiaowu stood outside the car with his head drooping for a while, and saw Chi Xiaohong coming back from a distance, holding a package in his arms, and waved with a smile.

Jiang Lai saw Bei Xiaowu smiling so brightly at Chi Xiaohong from the rearview mirror, and felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.He began to reflect involuntarily—well, maybe he really felt too good about himself, maybe he just wanted to hang out with Chi Xiaohong, and he was superfluous.

Chi Xiaohong got into the car out of breath, "I'm back."

"What did you say, so fast?" Bei Xiaowu followed the car and leaned towards Chi Xiaohong when he closed the door.

"Alas..." Jiang Lai couldn't bear to watch the scene, he blamed himself for being sentimental, and turned his head away quickly.

"I went to deliver a mobile phone, and we made an appointment to chat on the phone. She was still not allowed to go out casually by her parents. I was afraid that her parents would come back and run out."

Both Jiang Lai and Bei Xiaowu knew about the mobile phone. Xue Man bought it online for more than 100 yuan. He originally wanted to make it easy for Xiaohong to keep in touch with Mrs. You at any time. After buying it, he found that he could not access the Internet or play games. He was afraid of the little girl. Not keeping up with the times, Chi Xiaohong bought another smartphone.

"I'm afraid my parents won't tell the truth, so leave a cell phone for my cousin, so don't worry." Chi Xiaohong seemed to have something on her mind, her mouth pursed into a line, and her eyes curled up.

Jiang Lai smiled, "You are smart."

Chi Xiaohong looked at Bei Xiaowu embarrassedly.Jiang Lai could see her expression clearly in the rear-view mirror.I praised you, shouldn't you thank me?What does it mean to turn to look at Bei Xiaowu? !

The key is that that idiot Bei Xiaowu gave her a smile back!

Jiang Lai couldn't bear it, and he didn't know why he reacted so strongly.The little kid is his own, he can only laugh to himself when he laughs, and cry only for himself when he cries!After Jiang Lai explained this to himself, he became even more fraught.

At noon, the car arrived in the town. Jiang Lai paid the driver and was going to check the situation. If he could find a place to live, it seemed good to stay here for a few days.

Although the distance from the town to Chi Xiaohong's home is only more than 100 kilometers in a straight line, it takes a long time to drive here in a detour.

Thinking of this, Bei Xiaowu also felt a little relaxed, and looked at Chi Xiaohong with a smile, feeling that he had completed this mission well.

"Are you two hungry?" Jiang Lai saw that there was a braised stew restaurant in the town, and began to swallow his saliva unconsciously.

"Hungry." Bei Xiaowu and Chi Xiaohong said in unison.

A few people bought stewed stew and looked for a place to stay.

There are no regular hotels in this place, but there are many small shops with "accommodation" signs.Bei Xiaowu knew that Jiang Lai was obsessed with cleanliness, so he found a door curtain and grabbed Jiang Lai's sleeve, "Go ask this one."

Jiang Lai had already seen through that this place probably couldn't find the kind of literary and fresh homestay he imagined, so he casually nodded, "Okay."

The owner was very enthusiastic and asked them how many rooms they wanted.

After working for a few days, Bei Xiaowu already felt that it was not easy to make money, so at this time, he naturally saved as much as he could.

"Two rooms," he said, "preferably a standard room."

"The standard room is gone, is it okay to have a room with two double beds?" the owner asked.

Bei Xiaowu wanted to visit the next one, but Jiang Lai held him back, "All right, just two rooms with big beds."

Bei Xiaowu hesitated briefly, but still took out his ID card, "Okay then."

The three of them entered the room, which was a little better than they had imagined, with solid wood furniture, and it looked tidy.Jiang Lai was in a better mood, washed his hands and took out the stewed bag, and called everyone to eat together as lunch.

Stewed stew is a special delicacy here. The seasoning is very strong and a lot of Chinese herbs have been added. Chi Xiaohong couldn't eat it after eating a small piece, but Jiang Lai and Bei Xiaowu ate it heartily, probably because they were really hungry. Or, maybe they were carnivores in the first place.

"Then I'll go to the next room." Chi Xiaohong was only thinking about chatting with her cousin.

"Are you afraid alone?" Bei Xiaowu stood up.

Jiang Lai threw away the bone in his hand, tilted his head and looked up at Bei Xiaowu, "Is she afraid that you will sleep with her?"

Bei Xiaowu sat down sleepily again.This can't be blamed on his overthinking, because when they were walking on the street just now, they always felt that someone was staring at them during the short distance of a few hundred meters.

Probably because there are very few outsiders here, and Bei Xiaowu and Jiang Lai's dress style is very different from here, so it attracts passers-by to look at it more.But Bei Xiaowu just felt weird and didn't feel safe.

Therefore, Xiaohong lived alone in a room, so Bei Xiaowu instinctively asked.

"Of course not, just ask casually." Bei Xiaowu continued to chew, and obediently sent back the bone that Jiang Lai had lost.He had no idea what Jiang Demon King was going crazy.

"It's okay, the town is much safer than our village." Chi Xiaohong left with a smile.

Bei Xiaowu and Jiang Lai were left in the room. Facing a bag of fragrant stewed food, the two ate in silence, and the atmosphere felt a little strange.

After a while, Jiang Lai seemed to be in a good mood again, "I just heard from the boss that there is a lotus pond nearby, which is big enough for boating. Shall we go?"

Seeing Jiang Lai smiling, Bei Xiaowu raised the corners of his lips, "Go."
