It's a remote town without the bustle of a city, and the old roads are bumpy.
There were few pedestrians on the street, and occasionally a vehicle passed by, raising a cloud of dust.
According to intelligence, Yang Shoucheng lives in a small village called Huangtu Village on the edge of Majia Town, a place that cannot even be found on the navigation.
After passing through the town center, Fu Siyan groped for the way to Huangtu Village according to the direction.
The car couldn't drive on the rugged country road, so the two had to get off at the village entrance and walk in.
The loess under my feet is barren and the roadside is overgrown with weeds. It is said to be a village, but looking around, it looks like there are only about ten households living there.
There are more abandoned old brick and tile houses and even thatched houses than the residents left here.
It was the first time for him to come to such a place. Shen Huan frowned slightly and looked around.
This place is really desolate. If you want to find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to spend your retirement, Huangtu Village is obviously not a good choice.
Looking around at the desolate surroundings, Chen Huan felt more and more that the man's suspicion was correct.
The so-called retirement of Butler Yang back then might not have been a voluntary resignation, but rather a forced departure.
While thinking, Chen Huan didn't pay much attention to his feet and accidentally stepped into a puddle.
"Ah!" She was startled at first, then her face turned bitter as she lowered her gaze. "It's over, my shoes are dirty."
Fortunately, I didn’t wear white sneakers when I went out today, but the beige ones are not durable either.
She has always loved cleanliness. Looking at her shoe uppers covered in mud and the muddy water splashed on the back of her shoes, Shen Huan pouted unhappily.
Seeing her kitten-like appearance, Fu Siyan poked her forehead with amusement and helplessness, "Why are you looking around instead of looking at the road?"
"I...I was led by you, thinking I'd feel more at ease with you watching the way. But I didn't expect you to be so unreliable that you didn't even bother to warn me when there were puddles."
Seeing her arrogant attitude despite being unreasonable, Fu Siyan was so angry that he laughed, "You're getting better at turning the tables, aren't you?"
Feeling guilty about being stared at by him, Shen Huan quickly changed the subject, "So what should we do now?"
She raised her calves and swung her toes towards the man.
Fu Siyan looked around, squatted down and untied her shoelaces, "Hold me."
Shen Huan did as he was told, resting his arm on the man's neck and leaning against him to steady himself.
After taking off her dirty shoe, Fu Siyan turned around and pressed her onto his back, then picked up the shoe in his hand and said, "There's a well in front. I'll take you there to wash it."
Huangtu Village is located in a remote area, surrounded by mountains and has no running water. People usually draw water from the well.
Fortunately, the operation was not difficult. Fu Siyan took a look, untied the rope and lowered the wooden barrel. After scooping up the water, he pulled the rope to lift it up.
Chen Huan sat on the stone steps beside him, supporting his chin with one hand and looking at him.
With a slight curve at the corner of his lips, he listened to the squeaking sound of the wooden stake with some enjoyment.
"Moo...Moo..."
At this time, an old yellow ox was grinding a mill not far away. Chen Huan heard the sound and turned his head to look. Suddenly, he felt that the rhythm of the man and the ox seemed quite coordinated.
The scene was inexplicably funny, and Chen Huan couldn't help but laugh out loud.
She made so much noise that it was hard for Fu Siyan not to notice her.
The old ox beside him was turning the mill in circles, and he was reeling in the rope in circles. Their steps were quite coordinated.
Seeing her trying to laugh, Fu Siyan gave her a displeased look and asked, "Why don't you do any work but watch the fun?"
Meeting his gaze, Shen Huan, considering that he had not yet finished his work for her, quickly pursed her lips.
After the water was drawn up, Fu Siyan got a branch and carefully rubbed off the mud on the edge of the shoes, then scooped up the water with his hands and sprinkled it on the uppers to rinse.
The tools were limited, so after fiddling with it for a long time, I finally got it almost done.
He shook off the water droplets on the leather surface, then used a tissue to absorb the excess water stains, and let the shoes blow in the wind for a while. Then Fu Siyan put the shoes under the little girl's feet and put them on her again.
"Boyfriend, how come you know everything?" Shen Huan raised her hand and brushed away the bangs that naturally hung down on the man's forehead.
"Your girlfriend is a little idiot. She doesn't know how to take care of you, her little ancestor."
No matter where Fu Siyan goes, he is always the ancestor.
The name "little ancestor" is so seductive when it comes out of his mouth.
It was the first time she heard him call her like that. Shen Huan's face turned red and she said coquettishly, "You are the little fool." She stood up and walked around him.
She looks so cute when she's shy. Fu Siyan curled the corners of his lips in amusement and turned around to catch up.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, he was pounced on.
