The two walked down the stairs and found that the yard of the guesthouse was full of children running around.
It was truly "full" in the truest sense. The small yard, which was half the size of a football field, was filled with excited children playing various games, and the excited laughter of "Ahhh!" could be heard everywhere.
Seeing this scene, Melanda said to Xia Yiqian, “I didn’t realize when I was upstairs just now that there are so many children downstairs, and they are quite noisy.
All of them are gathered here to play. Don’t these children go to school?”
I guess this guesthouse is not usually populated, otherwise there would be so many children making noise downstairs every day. If it were to move to another guesthouse with some competition, this guesthouse would have gone bankrupt.
Xia Yiqian glanced at the children outside the house and said, "There were many children on the way here. Maybe this county has a lot of children."
Meranda sighed, it was so noisy.
"I just hope the road can be opened soon so we can leave sooner."
The two chatted intentionally or unintentionally and soon arrived at the small restaurant downstairs.
The restaurant is not too big, about the same size as the Shaxian snacks on the roadside in the city. There are a few tables of parents with their children eating there.
The two of them looked at each other, and the same meaning was clearly written in their eyes.
There are too many children in this small county town. Why are they everywhere?
The two of them sat at the same table, and the waiter immediately came over with a smile to take their order.
"Excuse me, what would you two like to eat?"
Melanda looked at Xia Yiqian and said enthusiastically, "What do you want to eat? This meal is my treat, order whatever you want."
Xia Yiqian looked at the menu in her hand and ordered several sweet and sour dishes without hesitation.
Since I can’t eat sugar, I can rely on eating vegetables to comfort myself.
After the waiter wrote down their orders, he looked at them with a smile and asked, "Are you two here for tourism?"
Melanda looked at the waiter who took the order but didn't give them the order, and replied casually, "No, we can't leave because of a landslide nearby that blocked the road. That's why we're staying in Li County for one night. We'll leave when the road is open."
"Oh, so that's how it is." The plump waitress had a look of disappointment on her face. "I thought you were here to attend the River God Festival."
"River God Sacrifice?" As an outsider monk, Meranda had no idea there was such a thing as a river god sacrifice, so he asked subconsciously.
The waiter explained with a smile, "It's a sacrifice to the river god. It's a unique tourist attraction here and it's held every year.
In previous years, outsiders like you have come to visit. Do you want to stay and join in the fun?"
After he finished speaking, he couldn’t let anyone answer him, so he asked the two of them with a smile on his face, “Girls, are you in love?
The young men in our Li County are all top-notch guys. Would you like to consider finding a partner here?
I know a few really handsome guys with long legs. Why don't I introduce you guys to some fun together?"
Meranda: ...
Xia Yiqian: ...
How come we were just chatting peacefully when suddenly they started introducing each other to each other?
Neither of them had any idea about finding a local guy to date. Melanda asked helplessly, "Ma'am, aren't you going to place your order? We've already ordered all the food."
"Oh oh oh!" The waitress seemed to have just realized something, and she slapped her head in frustration and said quickly, "Look at my memory. When I see young and beautiful girls like you, I can't help but want to introduce you to someone.
Go place your order now!"
After saying that, he turned around and left quickly.
Melanda and Xia Yiqian looked at each other, then silently lowered their heads to play with their phones.
This middle-aged aunt is really scary. It’s ok that she urges her own children to get married, but she actually urges other people’s children as well!
After the two of them finished their meal, before leaving, the aunt came to ask them if they needed to be introduced to a handsome boy. Even if they didn't want to fall in love, it would be good to get to know him first.
This enthusiasm frightened Xia Yiqian and Melanda so much that they didn't dare to stay any longer. They just said a few perfunctory words and quickly returned to their room to rest, for fear of encountering such an embarrassing situation again.
However, what neither of them expected was that they thought the road that was cut off by the landslide would be open to traffic the next day after rescue work, but because of heavy rain in the middle of the night, the rescue work could not be carried out, and it would take at least three days for the road to be open.
