Shen Yancheng got in the car, but he controlled the speed and didn't dare to drive too fast, especially when turning, and he didn't dare to be too hasty. He always paid attention to Xiaorou's expression.
If you notice something is wrong with her, stop the car immediately and take a break.
Jiang Xiaorou was also very strong. When she felt uncomfortable sitting in the car, she would chew gum or just sleep. Shen Yancheng felt really distressed when he saw her sweating profusely.
Fortunately, in the evening, their car stopped at the entrance of the village and they finally arrived at their destination.
"Slow down." Shen Yancheng carefully helped Jiang Xiaorou out of the car.
Jiang Xiaorou's face is now as pale as paper. She feels soft all over and looks weak. This is the result of motion sickness.
"Is this the place?" Jiang Xiaorou looked ahead.
How could I describe the scene before me? It was actually quite different from what Xiaorou had imagined. She'd thought the mountains were like a desert, and this place must be all loess.
But it’s not.
The environment here is very good, the mountains and fields are all green, there is a particularly large banyan tree at the entrance of the village. From a distance, there are bustling houses.
It was evening, perfect for dinner, and the smoke from cooking fires drifted in the air, like a painting. Apart from its remoteness, there was nothing wrong with it.
"Yeah." Shen Yancheng nodded and helped Xiaorou walk forward.
"There is someone in front, let's go ask!" Jiang Xiaorou saw an elderly man working in the fields, dressed quite simply.
"Okay." Shen Yancheng agreed.
They walked over together.
"Hello." Jiang Xiaorou showed a standard smile on her face.
She was naturally sweet-looking and looked very pretty when she smiled. When the elderly saw Jiang Xiaorou, they quickly put down the work in their hands.
There are very few strangers in the village, so new faces can be recognized at a glance.
"Little girl, what can I do for you?" the old man asked.
"Old man, we came to the village to look for someone. Do you know how to get to Zhang Er's house?" Jiang Xiaorou asked.
The man who adopted the child was named Zhang. He was the second child in the family and everyone called him Zhang Er.
"You are talking about the second son of the Zhang family! His house is in front. Go straight to the end and then keep to the right. The last house is his house." The old man pointed with his finger.
The route was very simple, and Jiang Xiaorou and Shen Yancheng memorized it easily.
"Thank you, old man." Jiang Xiaorou said with a smile.
The old man had just finished work and was heading home. He got up from the field, carrying his hoe, and walked back with Jiang Xiaorou and the others. Jiang Xiaorou looked at the old man. His hair was all white, so he must be in his sixties or seventies! He still had to farm the land himself, which must have been really hard work.
"Chengcheng, please help the old man get the hoe!" Jiang Xiaorou nudged Shen Yancheng with her elbow.
They were new here and not familiar with the place, and this old man looked friendly. He might be able to help them! It’s so easy to get things done with friends!
“Old man, let me help you!” Ana Shen reached out to take it.
“No, no, my hoe is dirty, please don’t get your clothes dirty.” The old man hurried away from Shen Yancheng and Jiang Xiaorou.
One could tell they were noble people just by looking at their clothes, so the old man didn't dare to let them carry the hoe.
"It's okay." Jiang Xiaorou said with a smile.
Shen Yancheng hurried over and took the hoe from the old man's hand. He didn't carry it on his shoulder, which would have soiled his expensive suit. He held it in one hand very easily.
The old man looked at Shen Yancheng with a smile: "Young people are so energetic! By the way, are you two here to look for Zhang Er?"
"Yes, yes!" Jiang Xiaorou nodded.
"What's your relationship with the second son of the Zhang family? No one has come to see him in these years. You two are the first." The old man smiled, loved to chat, and was very simple.
He is a true country boy, and listening to him speak is very comforting. His dialect is very strong, he is sincere and speaks in a down-to-earth manner.
“Friend.” Jiang Xiaorou glanced at Shen Yancheng and didn’t let him tell the truth.
They had no idea about the village's situation, nor about the Zhang family's, so it would be inappropriate to speak so hastily. Even if the old man was sincere, one should still be selective when chatting with him.
"Then why are you looking for Zhang Er? There must be something going on, otherwise you wouldn't have come all the way here. I have a feeling that you two are not locals." The old man said again.
This old man was indeed quite clever. He could tell from Jiang Xiaorou's accent that she was not from the same country. However, the two countries were close, and the language was similar, so he could understand her.
"It's not convenient to tell you this, but we are not bad people, hehe." Jiang Xiaorou smiled.
"I understand, I understand." The old man paused and pointed ahead: "That's the home of the second son of the Zhang family. He's a bachelor and has a son."
Jiang Xiaorou looked in the direction the old man pointed and saw a thatched house. It was very simple and should be the most dilapidated house in the village.
Outside the yard!
There was a little boy with a stick in his hand, chasing ducks.
"Who is that child?" Jiang Xiaorou asked the old man.
At this time, Jiang Xiaorou's expression was complicated, because she had already guessed about 70% of it.
"He is! He is the son of the second son of the Zhang family, named Zhang Min." The old man said, "This child is very sensible. Although he is only five years old, he can do everything. Everyone says that the second son of the Zhang family has no skills, but he has a promising son."
