"This is too hot."
Niu Niu's face was flushed with heat and her hair was wet with sweat.
Lin Xiaoxiao's bangs were also wet with sweat, and Zhang Xiu and Li Kuaizui's clothes were even wet with sweat. The four of them were not only hot, but also very thirsty.
Lin Xiaoxiao was afraid of heat stroke, so she said, "Auntie, let's go to the village to find some water to drink first, and then go and apply the patch."
"good."
Zhang Xiu and Li Kuaizui were also thirsty.
The four of them arrived at the entrance of the village. There was a well next to a house. The house was a bit similar to Lin Xiaoxiao's house. Both had no yard. There was a black dog tied at the gate of this house, but the black dog looked particularly well-behaved.
When he saw them, he didn't yell.
Zhang Xiu and Li Kuaizui thought that Lin Xiaoxiao and Niuniu were still little girls and were shy. They would definitely feel embarrassed if they were asked to ask for water.
So the two of them walked ahead and asked the open door, "Is anyone there?"
After a while, a woman in her fifties came out of the house. Seeing Zhang Xiu and Li Kuaizui standing at the door, she asked with a puzzled look, "Who are you looking for?"
These two people looked unfamiliar, and she was very sure that she didn't know them.
"Sister, we came to your village to do some business. We are all very thirsty. We want to find something to drink from you." Li Kuaizui said with a smile.
Hearing this, the old lady said, "Wait a moment, I'll get you a bowl."
Well water is free, and most people won’t be stingy with water.
"Thank you, big sister."
Li Kuaizui and Zhang Xiu quickly thanked them, then waved to Lin Xiaoxiao and Niuniu, "Come over and have some water."
Lin Xiaoxiao and Niuniu were delighted when they heard this and hurried over.
The lady handed a clean bowl to Zhang Xiu, who took it and handed it directly to Lin Xiaoxiao, "Xiaoxiao, you drink first."
Young people like cleanliness and seem to be particular about not using things that have been used by others. Anyway, Zhang Xiaoling has this habit, so Zhang Xiu asked Lin Xiaoxiao to drink first. She doesn't care about these things, as long as the dishes are washed clean.
Lin Xiaoxiao didn't know what Zhang Xiu was thinking. Since it was just a drink of water, there was no need to refuse. But seeing that Niuniu's lips were very dry, she handed the bowl to Niuniu, "Niuniu, drink quickly."
"Thank you, Sister Xiaoxiao."
Niu Niu was just a child after all, so she didn't think too much about it. Besides, she was really thirsty, so she filled a bowl of water and started drinking.
Afterwards, Lin Xiaoxiao and the other two also drank some water. In those days, people usually drank raw water in the summer, which Lin Xiaoxiao was not used to. However, at this time, she didn't care about that.
After the four of them finished drinking the water, they returned the bowl to the old lady. The old lady took the bowl but did not intend to go into the house immediately. Instead, she asked curiously, "Whose relatives are you?"
Their village is relatively large, but also relatively remote. Generally, few people come here except for those who come to visit relatives.
Lin Xiaoxiao looked around and when her eyes fell on the black dog at the door, her eyes suddenly lit up and she replied, "We are not here to visit relatives."
The old lady's house was right at the entrance of the village, and she had a big black dog at home. If someone went out that night, even if the old lady didn't come out and see them, she would definitely have heard some noise.
Like a dog barking or something.
"So who are you?"
The old lady became even more curious.
Lin Xiaoxiao said: "Auntie, we are here to look for someone."
"Looking for someone?" The old lady looked puzzled. "Who are you looking for?"
This time, before Lin Xiaoxiao could speak, Li Kuaizui took over the conversation and said, "Our purpose is the same as the police's before. We are here to find bystanders."
