Chapter 207 Gaps in Teeth (2)

Now ask Ruan Jiaojiao: "My dear, where did those fruits in the kitchen come from?"

"Brother Xu brought them back from the front mountain." Ruan Jiaojiao answered, but she was afraid of scaring Ruan Linshi, so she didn't tell the truth.

Hearing this, Ruan Linshi didn't doubt it, but said with some worry: "Xiao Xu was away all afternoon today. I'm afraid he went to the front mountain again. This child won't listen to anything I say. I don't know what he wants so much money for."

As soon as she finished speaking, footsteps were heard behind her.

Xu Xu was standing at the door, holding a bag in his hand. He walked from the backyard, passed the kitchen and went directly to the inner room, so the people in the main room didn't see him.

He was holding a large burlap bag in his hand, which was bulging with things.

"I'm back." He said, looking at Ruan Jiaojiao eagerly.

"You kid..." Ruan Lin turned around and saw the bag he put at his feet. She put Ruan Jiaojiao down and walked over, picked up the bag, and asked him in confusion: "What's in it?"

"Fruit trees."

"What?" Ruan Lin didn't hear clearly, and opened the sack, only to find that there were several half-meter-high saplings inside.

"Are these fruit trees?" She asked Xu Xu in surprise.

Xu Xu nodded, his eyes still looking at Ruan Jiaojiao, as if waiting for her affirmation.

Ruan Lin looked at him, who was all dirty, and didn't know what to say. She told him to come out and eat quickly, and then went out with the bowl.

Xu Xu walked slowly to Ruan Jiaojiao and looked at her carefully: "Are you still angry?"

"..." Ruan Jiaojiao.

She was really not angry!

She just didn't know how to face him.

But seeing him looking at her eagerly, with a wronged and pitiful look, she couldn't bear it, so she took his hand and said, "Brother Xu, go have dinner soon, grandma left some food for you."

These words represented her softening attitude, and Xu Xu should be happy.

But when he looked at her, his face changed drastically.

Not caring that his hands were still dirty, he held her little face with a fierce look in his eyes: "You are injured."

This was not a question, but an affirmative sentence. His whole body exuded a cold breath. The little wolf standing at the door and preparing to come in was so scared that he turned around and ran away, tripping and falling on the way.

Ruan Jiaojiao's face also changed greatly. She remembered how ugly she looked now. She screamed, pushed his hand away, covered her mouth, and looked at him with only a pair of big watery eyes. She covered her mouth

and shook her head: "Well, it's okay."

Xu Xu's face was still very ugly, and his hands at his side were clenched into fists. However, because he didn't want to show his violent side in front of her, he lowered his eyelids, covered the anger in his eyes, and turned to leave the house.

Ruan Jiaojiao was a little worried and said from behind: "Brother Xu, your meal is in the kitchen, remember to eat."

Xu Xu did not answer.

He learned about what happened today from the brothers of the Ruan family, and his face was so gloomy that water could drip out. Even Ruan Jie felt a little sad when he saw it, and he didn't dare to speak for a while.

When it was just getting dark.

Xu Xu first went to the place where she fell. In the dark, he searched for a long time and found the tooth that had fallen into the mud. He carefully wrapped it with a handkerchief and put it in his pocket. After that, he went to the front mountain again.

That night, Ruan Jiaojiao was sleeping in a daze. Half asleep and half awake, she heard a sharp cry from next door, as if someone was shouting for help. She tried to open her eyes in a daze, but the sound disappeared again.
