Yun Ruoxi: "Although I think the same now, it's hard to say what will happen in the future. There's no guarantee that one day, the two of us will no longer be able to let go of everything in this world and no longer think about returning to the modern world."
Mu Ruxue lowered her head and said with a somewhat lost voice, "I rarely think about modern things now, and I'm slowly accepting the living habits of this world. Do you think there will come a day when both of us can't remember anything at all?"
Yun Ruoxi wanted to answer seriously, "It's not impossible, but we both have no ties in the modern world, so we can just stay here. Anyway, no matter which world we are in, we will definitely live a happy life."
Mu Ruxue: "That's right, no matter where we are, we two best friends will definitely live well."
The two best friends walked back slowly hand in hand. Not long after they walked, they met a little girl wearing a cloth dress with patches all over her body. Her hair was braided into pigtails and placed neatly behind her. She was holding a little boy's hand.
The little girl looked about eleven or twelve years old, and the little boy looked five or six years old. They had a high bun on their heads and a red hairband, and they looked like the little fairies in the New Year pictures.
Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue thought that since they were villagers of Taohua Village now, they should build good relationships with the villagers, so they thought about saying hello to the little girl.
But before the two best friends could open their mouths, the little girl looked up and saw them, lowered her head in a panic, then pulled her little brother to stand by the side of the road, making way for them to pass.
Mu Ruxue was impatient and asked hurriedly, "Do we look scary? Why do you hide when you see us?"
The little girl saw that they were really coming towards her, and she was so scared that she pulled her little brother and hurriedly knelt on the side of the road, saying in a trembling voice, "No, no, no, no... It's not scary. Before we left, our parents specifically told us that our land must pass in front of yours. If we meet an important guest, we must not offend them."
As she spoke, the little girl was about to cry out loud. She hurriedly knelt on the ground and pulled her little brother to kowtow several times.
Mu Ruxue was completely speechless and hurried forward to help the little peasant girl up. When the girl looked up, Yun Ruoxi saw her and she kowtowed twice, her face flushed.
Mu Ruxue: "Why are you so honest, girl? You kowtowed when you were told to. Look at your forehead, it's all red and swollen. Girls care about their appearance the most. If you hurt your face, it will be hard to talk to your in-laws in the future."
As they were talking, Mu Ruxue and Yun Ruoxi had already helped the little girl up. Mu Ruxue even considerately helped her clean the dirt off her trouser legs.
Yun Ruoxi took out a bottle of medicine from her small bag and handed it to the little girl. "The wound on your forehead is not serious. This is the medicine for you. Apply some when you go back. It will look ugly if a scar is left."
The little girl looked at the two sisters in front of her who were as beautiful as fairies, and took the medicine with half belief and half doubt.
Yun Ruoxi could understand that the children in the village had rarely met people from outside the world and were relatively introverted and not good at expressing themselves, so it was normal for them to do so.
Seeing the little girl standing up, Mu Ruxue smiled and asked, "You've been kneeling and kowtowed for a long time, but you still haven't told me your name?"
"My name is Hua'er, I'm 12 years old. This is my younger brother, Goudan'er, he's five years old. My father is Gu Dahai, and we live in the third house at the entrance of the village."
Yun Ruoxi thought about it carefully, "Is it the family next to the village chief's house?"
Huaer nodded. "Yes, the village chief is my grandfather. The day you came, you went to my uncle's house. Grandpa lives with my uncle."
After all, it was someone else's family affair, so Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue didn't ask too much.
But they both felt a little embarrassed because they had just scared the little girl, so Mu Ruxue took out a small bag of snacks from her small bag.
It’s a small pack, really a small pack, because there are only 4 pieces in it.
When they were going out, Jamel Xiao was afraid that Mu Ruxue would be hungry, so he stuffed some snacks into her bag.
Er saw that they hadn't done anything, and the pretty sister actually gave her some snacks, so she quickly declined, "Pretty sister, when I went out, my parents specifically told me not to take other people's things casually."
Mu Ruxue pulled Hua'er's hand over and forcefully placed the snack on her palm. "We originally wanted to say hello to you just now. After all, we are from the same village and we will see each other sooner or later. But we didn't expect to scare you and make you kneel on the ground and kowtow to us twice. We are also at fault. There are not many snacks. You can take them back and give them to your little brother to try."
Hua'er wanted to say something else, but Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue had already stood up and walked away.
For the two best friends, the flower incident was just a small episode, but it didn't take long for them to get home.
The ancient village chief brought flowers and a middle-aged couple to their home.
At this time, there are only women at home. Xiao Jingrui and Xiao Jingxuan have gone to the homestead to keep an eye on the workers.
Zhao saw that it was the village chief and said with a smile, "I don't know why the village chief is here. Who are these two?"
The ancient village chief has a dark skin, probably because he often goes out to sea. No one in the entire Taohua Village has a white skin.
When the Xiao family arrived, there was a pair of white people shining in the sun. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that they didn't look like people who grew up by the sea.
Even though the ancient village chief knew that people in the inland had white skin, it was still too white to be eye-catching at first glance.
The more this happened, the more embarrassed the ancient village chief became. His hands were a little rough from constant work. He clasped his hands together and rubbed them awkwardly before explaining his purpose.
"It's like this. Hua'er took Gou'er to the fields and brought back these snacks. I saw that they were not from our Taohua Village. Even in Caiyun Town, there are no snacks as good as these. I thought that the child asked you for them and brought the children to your house to compensate you. But that's not the case."
Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue had just entered the house. Not long after, they sat on the stool and drank a sip of tea when the village chief and his family came to their door, almost at the same time.
Zhao turned to look at her two best friends, bewildered. Mu Ruxue quickly stood up to explain, "Village Chief Gu misunderstood. We originally wanted to say hello to Hua'er, thinking we were from the same village and should know each other well. But before we could say anything, she startled us. Hua'er was honest and kowtowed to us twice. We felt embarrassed, but we couldn't let her kowtow in vain, so we thought of giving her some snacks as compensation. After all, Hua'er's forehead was injured."
Village Chief Gu became anxious upon hearing this. He turned to Hua'er and said in a serious voice, "Why don't you two kneel down right now?"
