Indeed, the girls from the mountains don't speak softly like the people in the city. Their voices are always loud and clear, as hearty and pungent as their personalities.

"Hey! I see." Xiaomei squatted down in front of the two of them, twisted two round jujubes into her mouth, chewed them, and said, "Miss Jin, Mr. Pei is not asleep yet. wake up?"

"He's not in good health, so it's lucky to be able to fall asleep," Jin Xiaoyi said, "I'll go to the kitchen to get some food for Mr. Pei later, he doesn't like to join in the fun. By the way, Xiaomei, is your sister-in-law's house useful? Have you used the bowls and chopsticks?"

Xiaomei's eyes widened in disbelief: "Oh, do you still need unused bowls and chopsticks? Then I have to ask my sister-in-law, we mountain people are not so particular..."

"Boss Pei is obsessed with cleanliness, and he doesn't like to use things that others have used," Jin Xiaoyi explained apologetically, "I'm sorry to trouble you, Xiaomei."

"No trouble, no trouble," Xiaomei waved her hands again and again, "Miss Jin, you are too polite, I will ask my sister-in-law right away. There should be some at home..."

"Okay." Jin Xiaoyi smiled, and when she turned her head and saw Tang Xiao staring at her, she couldn't help touching her face and said, "What's the matter, Xiaoxiao, is there something on my face?"

"No." Tang Xiao shook his head, and said seriously: "I just think that your careful and considerate appearance is really like a good wife and mother."

Jin Xiaoyi laughed: "Smile, don't laugh at me."

"There's no joke about you, it's true." Tang Xiao looked at the closed door of the guest room where Pei Yuancheng slept, and leaned into Jin Xiaoyi's ear and said, "If Pei Yuancheng can marry you, he will be considered a blessing."

Jin Xiaoyi blushed instantly: "Smile, what are you talking about......"

Tang Xiao smiled and looked at Jin Xiaoyi, who blushed and became very cute: "Come on, Xiaoyi. Maybe in the future, Cheng Lie and I will have the opportunity to attend your wedding?"

Jin Xiaoyi's face with delicate makeup turned redder: "Okay, Xiaoxiao, don't tease me anymore..."

Sure enough, Tang Xiao didn't tease her anymore, but pulled her, and the two walked towards the kitchen together.

The kitchen was already smelling of meat, and I don't know what seasoning Xiaomei's sister-in-law put in the pot. The fresh smell made people salivate.

Xiaomei's sister-in-law heard that Pei Yuancheng was not in good health, so she quickly scooped up a large bowl of soup from the pot, and deliberately picked out two chicken thighs from the pot and put them into the bowl. Jin Xiaoyi couldn't laugh or cry. No matter how he likes to eat big fish and big meat, I'm afraid sister-in-law Xiaomei's kindness will be in vain.

As expected, Pei Yuancheng didn't say anything when he saw the big bowl of chicken, he just frowned slightly, and asked Jin Xiaoyi to bring another bowl.

He picked out all the meat in the bowl, and he only drank the rest of the soup. Jin Xiaoyi said helplessly, "Boss Pei, eat some meat, or you will be hungry later on the road."

Pei Yuancheng shook his head and said, "Jin Xiaoyi, return these chickens and tell Xiaomei and the others that I haven't touched them. And you, don't patronize me, go and eat it yourself."

"Mr. Pei, eat as much as you want." Looking at Pei Yuancheng who was getting thinner and thinner, Jin Xiaoyi felt distressed, "This chicken is a pheasant, and the meat is very tender. It is guaranteed to be different from the chickens outside. Mr. Pei, you Give it a try, okay?"

Seeing Jin Xiaoyi's beautiful big eyes staring at him eagerly, although Pei Yuancheng really didn't like meat, he couldn't bear to refuse Jin Xiaoyi anymore, he thought, he might be softening his heart more and more recently.

Pei Yuancheng looked at the bowl of chicken, bit the bullet and ate a small piece, swallowed it quickly, but couldn't figure out what was delicious, then he looked at Jin Xiaoyi with an expression as if he had completed a task and said: " After eating, Jin Xiaoyi, don't just take care of me all the time, hurry up and eat."

"En, good." Jin Xiaoyi smiled happily. Although Pei Yuancheng only ate a small piece of chicken, it's better than nothing at all, isn't it?

Jin Xiaoyi returned to the kitchen with a bowl with half of the chicken left. There was laughter in the kitchen, and everyone was eating in full swing. Seeing Jin Xiaoyi came back with a bowl of chicken that had hardly been touched, sister-in-law Xiaomei asked nervously if it was her. The cooking was not tasty and did not suit the appetite of the big boss, so Jin Xiaoyi had to explain that Boss Pei was not hungry.

Tang Xiao knew in his heart that perhaps it wasn't that Pei Yuancheng wasn't hungry, but that he really didn't like meat that much. Coupled with his illness, Pei Yuancheng's appetite had always been poor.

After dinner, they were ready to go on the road again. Xiaomei's sister-in-law heard that they were going to go deeper into the mountain, and quickly advised them not to continue. The reason was that the climate in the mountain was not good, and there were often falling rocks on the mountain, which was really unsafe.

But how can Tang Xiao and his party listen to persuasion, after all, they have already arrived here, and if they walk further, they will find Ji Xiaoru and the others sooner or later.

However, Tang Xiao thought that Xiaomei's sister-in-law's words were also reasonable, so he said to Pei Yuancheng, "I will continue to move forward with Xiao Zhang and Xiaomei, and maybe we will find Xiaoru and Lu Chenxi soon. You look very bad, so stay here Stay at Xiaomei's sister-in-law's house for one night, and let Xiaoyi stay to take care of you, okay?"

Pei Yuancheng's complexion was indeed very bad, even worse than when he was in the car. If he hadn't really been able to move freely, she would have wondered if he had a heart attack or just had an illness.

As a doctor, Tang Xiao always subconsciously soft-hearted towards patients, so when she saw Pei Yuancheng's pale and tired face, she immediately forgot the unpleasantness that happened with him earlier.

But Pei Yuancheng didn't appreciate it. He looked at her quietly with his dark eyes and said, "You despise me as a burden so quickly, and you want to throw me down as soon as you get a chance?"

Tang Xiao was angry when he heard that, didn't this guy really do it on purpose?As soon as she opened her mouth, she said some angry words that would not pay for her life. If it wasn't for the fact that he was a patient, she really didn't want to talk to him, so she could do whatever he wanted!
Jin Xiaoyi saw that Tang Xiao pursed her lips and remained silent, and she was afraid that Pei Yuancheng would really annoy Tang Xiao, so she quickly said aside: "Xiaoxiao, don't get me wrong, Boss Pei didn't mean that, he just doesn't trust you, to be honest, Now that we are all here, let’s move together and not separate, right?”

No matter how angry Tang Xiao was with Pei Yuancheng, reason could still overcome emotion. After thinking about it, Jin Xiaoyi's words really made sense.After all, we have already arrived here, maybe we can really meet Lu Chenxi and Ji Xiaoru if we go a little further?When the time comes, it will be more convenient for everyone to return together.

As for Pei Yuancheng, anyway, he doesn't look so weak that he can't stand still, and he can deliberately say something to anger himself. Maybe he just looks a little bad, but he is actually very good?Don't worry about yourself.

Back in the car, just about to set off, I saw Xiaomei's sister-in-law rushing in with a big bag of things.

"Xiaomei, here are some winter dates I picked this morning, some homegrown fruits, and your favorite leek pancake. I'm afraid you didn't get full just now, so I hurriedly made some more. You can eat them on the way." Let's go!" This young woman was full of kindness, although it was only for one meal, she had already gotten to know Xiao Zhang and the others so well that everyone could even half understand her dialect.

Xiaomei refused to accept it, and neither did the others. They had already had a big meal at Xiaomei’s sister-in-law’s house. Tang Xiao and the others even took away some jujubes washed before meals. How could they accept Xiaomei’s sister-in-law? reason?The so-called relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, the life of the people in the mountains is hard enough.

I didn't see brother Xiaomei coming back from the meal just now. I found out that Xiaomei's elder brother went to grow vegetables in the field after asking. Xiaomei's seven or eight-year-old nephew didn't go to school today, so he also went to help.

The water quality in the mountains is good, but there is not much land that can be used for planting, and each household is allocated only a few acres of land, and it often takes a long mountain road to get there.Xiaomei managed to come here today, but she couldn't see her elder brother and nephew who were going to plant vegetables on another mountain.

The vegetables and crops that the mountain people usually grow are basically just enough to feed and clothe the family, and there is very little left over to sell. Apart from this, the mountain people rarely have other income.

"Sister-in-law, we are all full, really, don't worry about us, go back quickly! Doesn't Leizi also like leek pancakes? Let Leizi eat these!" Leizi is sister-in-law and elder brother Xiaomei's child has a very good relationship with Xiaomei, and Xiaomei feels quite uncomfortable for not being able to see Leizi and her elder brother today.After all, there are not so many opportunities to come to the mountains.When she became pregnant and gave birth to a child, she devoted all her heart to the child and her husband, and it was even rarer to see her eldest brother and his family.

"Xiaomei, it's rare for you to come back. Leizi wants to eat. I can make it for him every day. You are different. You said that you will be pregnant with a child in the future, can you come back to this mountain?..." Xiaomei The sister-in-law burst into tears as she spoke, and Xiaomei couldn't help shedding tears when she thought about it.

Tang Xiao and the others couldn't bear it, but they could generally think of the hardships of the people in the mountains. It was Xiao Zhang who was quick-witted, and turned around to discuss with Pei Yuancheng, saying, "Mr. Let’s talk on the way? Anyway, there’s room for us in the car, and we’ll put Sister-in-law Xiaomei down when we get back, okay?”

Naturally, Pei Yuancheng had no reason to object, so Xiao Zhang told Xiao Mei that Xiao Mei's sister-in-law was so excited that she didn't know what to say when she learned that she could also get in the car, and thanked everyone again and again.

In order to make it easier for Xiaomei to talk to her sister-in-law, Jin Xiaoyi also took the initiative to switch to Xiaomei's co-driver, and let Xiaomei and her sister-in-law sit in the second row. It was the first time for Xiaomei's sister-in-law to ride in a car. Ah.

As the car drove away, the small mountain village gradually went away, and even the children who gathered on the side of the road and looked at them enviously turned into small black spots, making them completely invisible.

Not long after, the raindrops fell again.After a while, thunder came faintly from the sky.

The people in the car were used to the thunder, and they were not as flustered as before. However, the thunder became louder and louder. Xiaomei's sister-in-law looked back anxiously, but the sight was blocked by many mountains - the small mountain village where she had lived all her life. , completely invisible.

After a while, there was a loud "bang" in the distance, the car shook slightly, and everyone's faces turned pale at this moment.

Is it an earthquake?Or, is the earthquake and mudslides happening at the same time?And the direction from which the voice came from happened to be the village where Xiaomei's sister-in-law's house was located...

In the deathly silence in the car, everyone seemed to realize something, but no one was willing to say this terrible fact.

The car driving on the winding mountain road was still shaking slightly, and Xiao Zhang drove in fear, until there was a "crash", and a series of gravel fell in front of him.
