Chapter 114 That Man is in His Prime
Wang Dafeng's nagging words instantly revealed the fragility beneath her fierce exterior, and everyone who heard it was moved.
Ding Xiaodie didn't want to argue with those naughty kids anymore. She just waved her fist and then hurried over to help Wang Dafeng: "Grandma, let's go back to the house."
"grandmother?"
Wang Dafeng looked confused, staring at her with cloudy triangular eyes for a while, and finally responded with a smile: "Oh, you are Xiaodie."
"Yes, I'm Xiaodie. Come on, get up. The ground is hot."
Seeing that Ding Xiaodie couldn't help the old woman up by herself, Yang also hurried forward to help, but Wang Dafeng didn't let her help. Instead, she picked up the rabbit in her arms and said to Ding Xiaodie: "Come, Xiaodie, call me aunt, this is your aunt."
Ding Xiaodie: “…”
I was so confused. Could it be that the old lady suddenly developed Alzheimer's?
This symptom naturally had no name in ancient times, but she knew what it was called in modern times.
It's over, it's over. If the old lady wasn't just frightened for a moment, but really developed Alzheimer's disease, then the three of them would suffer in the future.
"Shout, shout quickly, why are you so ignorant, kid? Shout quickly!" Wang Dafeng wanted to get angry when she saw the hesitant look of the little girl in front of her.
"Okay, okay, don't... I'm screaming."
Ding Xiaodie quickly comforted her, then politely called out to the rabbit, "Auntie, Auntie Hua Ni."
Rabbit: o(╥﹏╥)o
The women including Yang couldn't help but want to laugh: "..."
But everyone knew that it would be too unkind to laugh at this moment, so they had to hold it back.
After being called "Auntie", Wang Dafeng obediently followed Ding Xiaodie back to the house. She had been teased by those ignorant kids, and now her head was covered in sweat, and her gray hair was a mess like a chicken coop.
The face, which was originally withered, now looked even more pale.
Ding Xiaodie felt sorry for her. Although she was not her biological grandmother and was very naughty, she just felt that she had an inseparable relationship with the old woman.
After the old woman lay down on the bed, she poured some water from the gourd bottle onto the towel, wiped her face, and then coaxed her softly: "Grandma, I'll take Gu to eat something. It might be hungry!"
Although this rabbit is fat, it has not eaten anything since yesterday.
Not only did he not eat it, but he was also held tightly in the old woman's arms. If he were suffocated to death, I wonder if she would go crazy.
So the most important thing right now is to ensure that the rabbit is alive.
Wang Dafeng blinked weakly. She was very tired!
"Okay, Xiaodie, take her to eat something, and grandma can get some sleep."
"That's right, grandma is the best grandma." Ding Xiaodie smiled and held the rabbit over: "Okay, go to sleep, we will leave after you fall asleep."
Maybe she was really too tired, Wang Dafeng fell asleep in less than a minute, snoring like thunder.
Well, don't worry, the old lady is in good health except that her thinking is a little confused!
As soon as Ding Xiaodie walked out of the house with the rabbit in her arms, a group of idle women surrounded her, each with an expression of curiosity or excitement on their face.
"Xiaodie, did you finally get the rabbit?"
"What's going on? Should we..." The person who asked the question made a gesture of slashing with a knife.
The rabbit suddenly felt a chill on his short neck.
Ding Xiaodie looked at them speechlessly: "..."
Why don't these people have good intentions? They just think about eating all day long.
"Auntie, a village of eighty-seven people eats one rabbit. Are you kidding me?"
"That's right, all of you shut up! Besides, my aunt treats this rabbit like a treasure now, so you are not allowed to have any more wild thoughts." Yang stood up and said these few words, and those who were thinking about the rabbit put out the little flames in their hearts.
Since the rabbit belongs to someone else, there is no point in them saying more. It would be better to try a different approach.
"Xiaodie, then tell me where you caught this rabbit?"
"In the back hills."
"Houshan, you didn't lie to us, did you?"
"Why would I lie to you? Of course the rabbits are on the mountain, where else could they be?" Ding Xiaodie suddenly remembered what her parents said, that she should give these people hope, because only with hope could they survive.
She cleared her throat and said, "So, if you go to the mountains occasionally, you might get an unexpected surprise."
But everyone actually ignored her words and said, "We thought this rabbit was a gift from the second young master of the Lu family."
“…”
Forget it, if we don’t agree, let’s go find our parents quickly!
Ding Xiaodie hurriedly walked towards the courtyard. The sunlight above her head was so bright that she could hardly open her eyes. It seemed that no matter where she looked, it was bright.
The air was still filled with thick hot wind, and I felt like I had difficulty breathing after walking a few steps.
At this moment, a thin figure suddenly walked into the yamen. He was wearing a crescent-shaped white robe, a shiny purple silk ribbon tied around his waist, his black hair was combed meticulously, and the jade hairpin with dragon and cloud pattern was as translucent as a water droplet in the sunlight.
This man had a handsome face like Yu Kou, and his smile was just right, neither too much nor too little. Just a curl of his thin lips revealed his youthful vigor.
"Xiaodie, are you okay?" A calm and steady voice sounded.
Oh my god, isn’t this Young Master Lu Chenhe?
Ding Xiaodie shook her confused little head: "Master, you...you're back?"
Lu Chenhe walked up to her and stroked her head with his knuckle-jointed palm: "I'm back. I came back last night."
No wonder there was no news about the second young master Lu Xingluo after he returned to the Lu family. She thought that the Lu family was in trouble and could no longer take care of the villagers of Aozigou. It turned out that Lu Chenhe's return was such a big deal.
"What about Mr. Lu? Is he okay?"
"Okay, we're all fine."
After saying these two sentences, it seems that there is nothing more to say.
Ding Xiaodie took the hand that was caressing her head away and forced a smile: "I'm glad you're back. As long as Mr. Lu is well, I'm leaving now!"
A hint of disappointment suddenly flashed across Lu Chenhe's eyes. He was tired from the journey and had overslept a little today.
The first thing I did when I woke up was to come and see Xiaobudian, but I didn’t expect him to be so cold.
Well!
The young man was a little overwhelmed and tried to find something to say: "Are you all okay? Were you scared during the earthquake? Is uncle okay? Is aunt okay? Is grandma okay?"
Ding Xiaodie's eyes darkened: "Master, why don't you ask them one by one!"
Lu Chenhe changed the subject again: "Did you catch a rabbit again?"
"Yes, I'm going to find some food for it now."
"I'll go with you."
"Young Master!" Suddenly their conversation was interrupted, and someone in the village finally realized that the young man standing in the sun and talking to Ding Xiaodie was the eldest young master of the Lu family.
