"have."
"What?"
"Very tight."
"What's tight?"
“Very tender.”
"Ah, this."
"It's still bleeding."
"Uncle Qin, what are you talking about?"
"Steak, medium rare steak. Shumin took me there to eat it. The meat was firm and tender, and there was still blood."
"You scared me. I thought it was... ahem. So, besides eating, do you remember anything else? Like, where is your hometown? What's your full name?"
"My name is Qin Shubao, and I'm from Wagangzhai."
“…”
The old man was ill again. Su Ran didn't ask any more questions, so as not to aggravate his condition. He turned and walked out. He saw the four children standing in the yard, looking at the wall. Seeing Su Ran approaching, Liu Jinyu read the words on it: "With a fierce tiger in mind, I can smell the roses carefully. The signature is... Ning Wenwen. Who is Ning Wenwen?"
"My sister."
"You have a sister? Where is she?"
"She's not in the village, she's a godsister in the city."
"How old?"
"Sixteen."
"You're still underage?"
"What are you thinking? She's my adopted sister, not my biological sister."
"Then call your sister to play with us."
"Forget it, forget it. She's quite sharp-tongued. If she came, she'd probably piss you four off to death. Let's not bother her, old lady. Let's go. I'll take you to a banquet."
"Hey, don't run away. Tell us the story of your godsister."
"Nothing to tell, no story, just go, go, go."
"I can tell from your expression that something's not right. Is it that your godsister likes you?"
"It's normal for little girls to like older brothers. I only treat her as my younger sister. Didn't you have older brothers you admired when you were little?"
"No."
The four little ones shook their heads in unison.
"Fake."
"What's fake? We didn't have one in the first place. Do you think everyone is like your godsister, who has a handsome and warm big brother like you by her side?"
"I have decided to be a cold-blooded man from today on."
"Tsk~"
…
The location of the banquet was the open space in the bamboo forest in front of Aunt Liu's house. There were only seven or eight tables of banquets, and the villagers took their seats one after another. As soon as Su Ran and the others sat down, they saw Uncle Qin, who had helped serve the dishes, standing over there looking for a place to sit. However, the villagers didn't like to sit with this crazy man, so they could only stand there and stare.
Su Ran patted the seat beside him and said, "Uncle Qin, there's still a seat here."
"No, no." Uncle Qin shook his hand and gave up. He felt that he was sloppy and would turn off Su Ran's friends.
"Oh." Su Ran stopped trying to persuade him. The old man never sat at the same table with Su Ran during banquets. He only ate with Su Ran in private. Mainly because the villagers would make jokes about "Qin the Fool" when he sat at the same table with Su Ran, he didn't want Su Ran to see his embarrassing side.
This is what a village guard is like. He is indispensable to every village chief. If you call him when there is something, he will do it without saying a word and will do the dirty work without saying a word. However, the villagers will not treat him as one of their own, nor will they care about an insane fool. Perhaps one day he will be unable to move and die in bed on a cold night. Many days later, the villagers will remember that they have not seen him for several days and then they will find his cold body.
Most of the people guarding the village are mentally ill and poor people abandoned by the times.
Xie Yinren looked at Uncle Qin squatting on the stone block under the bamboo forest, waiting for everyone to finish eating before he went to eat. This had become his habit.
"I'll go and persuade him to come over."
Xie Yinren felt pity for him, so he stood up and walked over to Uncle Qin.
"Uncle Qin."
Uncle Qin seemed to hear that 'she' calling his name, "Qin Liheng~"
Hearing this voice, Uncle Qin's heart trembled, he said "Ah", slowly raised his head, looked at the little girl squatting in front of him, reached out and moved her long hair behind her ears. The afterglow of the setting sun shone from behind her, and the orange-red light sprinkled on him, as if he was coated with a layer of gold.
"Uncle Qin, come with me over there to eat. You're the only one missing. If you don't go, we won't be able to fill the table. Let's go."
"I...OK!"
Uncle Qin nodded heavily. Xie Yinren reached out to help him up, but he waved his hands away, saying, "I'm all dirty." He stood up and followed Xie Yinren towards the table. On the way, a few ignorant children surrounded Uncle Qin, grinning and calling him Crazy Qin. Uncle Qin just lowered his head a little and quickened his pace to catch up.
"Uncle Qin, please sit here."
Xie Yinren pulled out the stool beside him, and Uncle Qin nodded and sat down.
Su Ran poured a glass of wine for Uncle Qin and teased him, "Uncle Qin, you are so proud. I invited you over but you didn't. You had to wait for a beautiful woman to invite you personally before you came."
Uncle Qin: "I'm dirty and I'm afraid it will turn you off. Miss Yin asked me to come here personally, so I can't refuse. If I come, will you lose your appetite?"
"No, everyone's here, let's eat." Su Ran picked up a cold chicken drumstick and put it into Xie Yinren's bowl. "Miss Yinren, you're a good person. This chicken drumstick is a reward for you. Is everyone okay with it?"
The three little ones and several other villagers at the same table agreed.
"Xie Xie, hmm... delicious. The meat is firm and tender. You can tell it's made from free-range chicken. Here, Uncle Qin, I have a chicken drumstick for you."
"Thank you, thank you."
Uncle Qin was flattered and thanked Xie Yinren with his hands clasped together.
Xie Yinren is a simple girl who grew up in a Miao tribe. She doesn't mind whether others are dirty or not. In fact, Uncle Qin is not dirty today. He took a bath and put on the Armani suit given by Su Ran.
