In the end, Kang Xingyi talked for a long time, but the old lady still refused to give in. She smiled and said that he was standing there and delaying his cooking.
There was no way out, he could only go back to the house in disappointment.
While in the house, Kang Xingyi looked outside from time to time, hoping that the rain would stop soon.
Unfortunately, God didn't seem to listen to his prayers. The rain continued to fall and the sky became dark.
After the thunder stopped, Kang Xingyi wanted to contact his companions, but when he touched his pocket, he found that his cell phone was missing.
He recalled for a moment and realized that his phone was most likely dropped accidentally when he fell on the mountain.
Because the situation was urgent at the time, he didn't look at the ground, so he wouldn't have noticed even if the phone fell out.
It's been soaked in rain, water and mud, and I don't know if the phone can still be used.
Kang Xingyi felt that he was really unlucky on this trip.
But fortunately, no matter how heavy the rain is, it won’t last all day and all night. It will stop one day.
He would wait until the weather cleared up before going to look for his companions. They would probably find a way to find him.
After thinking it over, Kang Xingyi was no longer in a hurry and waited patiently for the rain to stop.
Not long after, the old lady walked in from the door.
She was holding a serving of green vegetables and a portion of fried bacon.
In fact, it doesn’t look very good and it doesn’t smell very good.
But this is also someone's good intention, Kang Xingyi certainly won't be ungrateful and find fault with it.
He quickly reached out to take the earthenware bowl from the old lady's hand, and just as he was about to put it on the table, he realized that there was no table in the room at all.
Seeing him like this, the old lady also realized what was happening and quickly said with a smile: "Oh, look at my memory. Usually, not many people come here, so I eat alone, so I don't need a table or chair."
After explaining her situation, the old lady quickly said, "If you don't mind, put the bowl on the ground and we can squat and eat."
She spoke very cautiously, as if she was afraid that Kang Xingyi would disagree.
Seeing this, Kang Xingyi knew he would not refuse.
"Okay, it's okay to eat on the ground. When we went hiking in the mountains before, we often ate on the ground. It was quite comfortable to sit on the ground."
He quickly put the two bowls on the ground and sat on the ground, using his hands to show that he didn't mind.
When the old lady saw him like this, she smiled again and praised him.
"Good boy."
Kang Xingyi felt a little embarrassed by her praise.
Soon, the old lady brought in another bowl of rice and handed it to Kang Xingyi.
Seeing that the old lady only brought in a bowl of rice, Kang Xingyi frowned and said in surprise.
"Old man, why is there only one bowl of rice? Don't you want to eat it? Is there not enough rice at home?"
The old lady smiled and waved her hands when she heard it, explaining, "No, it's just that I've eaten and I'm not hungry. You can eat."
It was already dark outside, and the only light in the house was a candle that the old lady had just lit. There was no electricity, and there was no way for him to tell the time.
However, Kang Xingyi knew that people in rural areas usually eat dinner early, and since the old lady lived alone, it was very likely that she had eaten dinner early and prepared to go to bed.
I didn't expect that he would come to hide from the rain at the last minute.
Thinking of this, Kang Xingyi felt more and more embarrassed.
Kang Xingyi: "Old man, I really troubled you today. I made you work hard to cook and delayed your rest."
The old lady still smiled happily.
"No, no, I still want to thank you. No one has come to visit me for a long time. I can talk to you if you come."
Kang Xingyi listened to her and thought about it, then couldn't help asking, "Old man, do you have any children?"
The old lady nodded.
"Yes, a son and a daughter."
Kang Xingyi's heart skipped a beat.
She really has children, but from her words and deeds, one can tell that she lives alone and has lived alone for a long time.
It can be seen that his previous guess should be correct.
The old lady's children have long since abandoned her.
Realizing this, Kang Xingyi stopped talking about this topic, so as not to bring up more sadness for the old lady.
So he quickly changed the subject and started telling about their experiences and interesting things while climbing the mountain, as well as the fun in their daily lives.
The old lady laughed so hard at his amusement that her eyes narrowed into slits.
Seeing her smile happily, Kang Xingyi also felt relieved.
The meal was eaten very slowly. Besides the fact that Kang Xingyi was talking all the time, there was another reason: the old lady's cooking skills were really... not very good.
Of course, he couldn't say that. He even had to pretend that the food was delicious and eat all the food.
If not, how can we repay their hard work?
Finally, they finished eating. Kang Xingyi quickly stood up and prepared to clean up and wash the pots and dishes.
But the old lady stopped him again.
She quickly took the empty bowl from his hand and said, "It's just two or three bowls. I'll wash them quickly. There's no light in the back of the house. You're not familiar with the environment, so don't drop them."
After saying that, she asked Kang Xingyi to continue resting, and she quickly took the bowl to the shed behind the house.
Kang Xingyi didn't expect the old lady to move so quickly, and he didn't even have time to resist.
But thinking about it, what she said made sense. I wasn't very familiar with the place, and if I fell, it would be Xiao Xiao who would be blamed. But if I broke all the few bowls the old lady had, it would be troublesome.
I don’t know if it was because he was really too full, but Kang Xingyi soon began to feel sleepy.
When the old lady came back after washing the dishes, she saw that Kang Xingyi looked tired, so she immediately took care of him and helped him to sleep.
Kang Xingyi glanced outside and found that it was still raining.
It seems that he really can't leave tonight.
Fortunately, he had a sleeping bag in his backpack. Upon hearing this, he quickly took it out and spread it out.
If it weren't for the sleeping bag, he didn't know how he would sleep tonight.
There was only one bed in the old lady's room, and there was not even an extra mat.
No matter how strong he is, he will definitely catch a cold if he sleeps on the ground all night.
Fortunately, I had a sleeping bag.
When he was taking out his sleeping bag, he remembered that he still had some food in his bag.
I think the old lady often lives alone in the countryside and has no descendants to take care of her. I am afraid she has not tried many new things.
So after thinking about it, Kang Xingyi took out the biscuits and bread from his bag.
Although these things are not valuable and not very delicious.
It is the only thing he can show off at the moment.
He quickly handed the bread and biscuits to the old lady, and seeing that she was puzzled, he explained.
"Old man, these are the biscuits and bread I brought from outside. They may not taste very good, nor are they valuable, but you can take them and try them for fun."
The old lady looked at what he was holding curiously, and finally accepted it without much hesitation.
Kang Xingyi gave her something, and the old lady seemed to be more enthusiastic and friendly towards him.
After falling asleep, he chatted with Kang Xingyi who was lying in a sleeping bag on the ground.
She said she took him in because Kang Xingyi looked a bit like her youngest son.
She hadn't seen her youngest son for a long time. When she saw Kang Xingyi, she felt like he was her father, so she let him in to shelter from the rain.
Kang Xingyi listened and felt a lot of emotions in his heart.
On the one hand, I felt that I was really lucky to have met the old lady in such a dangerous time, and on the other hand, I felt that the old lady and I were indeed destined to be together.
Look, he looks a bit like her youngest son.
The two chatted for a long time, and Kang Xingyi also learned that the old lady had separated from her children many years ago and had lived alone for more than ten years.
They did not ignore her as he had expected. They would still come to see her during holidays and bring her some gifts.
"They're busy now, they all have their own things to do, so I don't want to delay them. It's fine for me to be here."
Therefore, a mother, even when she is old and gray, will still think about her children.
Kang Xingyi felt that the old lady was not only a kind person, but also a good mother.
It was a rare fate that they met and got to know each other this time.
After he leaves, he must take some time to come back and see her.
If you have time in the future, you can come and visit her.
Thinking about this, Kang Xingyi finally fell asleep.
He felt that he had just closed his eyes for a short time when he was woken up.
The person who woke him up was an old lady.
Kang Xingyi opened his eyes in a daze and looked out through the crack in the door, only to find that the sky outside was still gray, with only a faint hint of light.
It should be just before dawn.
Kang Xingyi was still a little dazed after being woken up, and the old lady's voice continued to be heard in his ears.
"It's almost dawn, I won't keep you here any longer. The rain has stopped outside a long time ago. Go meet up with your friends quickly. They must be worried about you."
Hearing the word "friend", Kang Xingyi remembered the current situation.
When he thought about it, he felt that what the old lady said was right.
A night passed, and I didn't know if his companions were still worried about him, or even if it was possible for them to go up the mountain to look for him when the rain stopped.
Thinking of this place, he didn't dare to sleep anymore, so he quickly packed up his things and prepared to leave.
When he left, the old lady saw him to the door, waved to him with a smile, and told him to be careful on his journey.
Kang Xingyi saw her frail body leaning against the door. It was still dark and very cold outside, so he quickly asked her to go back and rest. He said, "Old lady, I'll come back to see you in two days when I'm free."
You must thank her properly when the time comes.
The old lady seemed to say something, but Kang Xingyi didn't hear it clearly. Then he saw her go into the house and close the door.
Seeing this, Kang Xingyi stopped worrying and quickly set out to find his friend.
He walked around for a long time, and it was not until dawn that he finally heard his friend's voice.
Kang Xingyi quickly responded loudly, and the group finally managed to reunite.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Kang Xingyi finally appeared safely.
Just as Kang Xingyi was about to tell them about his experience last night, his stomach began to hurt.
Seeing this, the others were worried that he might have had an accident, so they quickly drove him away and sent him to the hospital.
