The uncle saw Mu Nuannuan coming in, glanced at her, and said to Mu Tingxiao, “There are, but it is not safe.”
Mu Tingxiao looked back at Mu Nuannuan, without saying more.
In the next few days, it was still raining and the road conditions were not getting better, so even if the county sent people to repair the circuits and signals, there was no way to get in.
Mu Tingxiao and Mu Nuannuan could only stay at the uncle’s house.
When it rains, the uncle doesn’t have to go out to do farm work. He often takes a pipe and sits on a rocking chair at the gate to watch the rain outside, and occasionally holds a cat.
The vegetables I eat are picked from the vegetable garden every day.
Mu Nuannuan and Mu Tingxiao took care of picking vegetables and cooking rice by living in their uncle’s house.
But she still doesn’t know how to burn wood, so it is usually the uncle who burns the fire, Mu Nuannuan cooks, and Mu Tingxiao washes the dishes after the meal.
When she woke up this morning, Mu Nuannuan listened to the sound of rain in the room.
After listening for a while, she turned her head to look at Mu Tingxiao: “It’s raining.”
Mu Tingxiao lay flat beside her, staring lightly, looking like he was asleep, but Mu Nuannuan knew that he had slept very lightly these days, not to mention that his eyebrows were tightly furrowed. A discerning person knows that he is awake at a glance.
Sure enough, a few seconds later, the man next to him opened his eyes slightly, and his voice responded with a slightly dumb voice: “Yeah.”
Hearing this, Mu Nuannuan got up and went around to the other end, got out of bed and put on his jacket and walked to the door.
She has a long memory in the past few days. Every day she wakes up and walks around Mu Tingxiao’s feet to get out of bed.
Mu Nuannuan went downstairs, opened the door and walked out.
This house was built on a mountain, with a small movable platform in front of the door, and a mountain forest in front of it.
At this time, white mist formed in the mountains and forests.
Long rain and heavy fog will clear up.
When it clears up, the circuit and the signal tower will be repaired. Someone will come to repair the road, and Gu Zhiyan and the others will definitely be able to find them in the fastest time.
They are leaving here.
It was obviously only two or three days, but in retrospect, it seemed like a long time.
With her head down, Mu Nuannuan could see the black plastic slippers that she was wearing on her feet. The size of the slippers was a bit large, and she showed a white instep on her feet.
She stepped on her slippers in the mud a few times, and the mud splashed onto the corners of her pants.
“Girl, come here with a basket.”
At this time, the uncle’s shout came.
When Mu Nuannuan heard the sound and looked over, she saw her uncle standing in a green vegetable field, waving her hands full of mud.
The distance is a little far away, and Mu Nuannuan doesn’t know what the uncle is doing, so she replied, “Oh, come right away.”
Mu Nuannuan went over with her back and saw her uncle squatting in the vegetable field, pulling something from the pile of freshly planed dirt.
“Uncle, what are you doing?”
After so many consecutive rains, the soil in the ground was soaked, Mu Nuannuan pulled the corners of his pants to his knees, and walked over with a deep foot and a shallow foot.
The soil was too sticky, and Mu Nuannuan’s slippers were covered with a thick layer of mud.
When she walked to the uncle, a pair of slippers were covered with mud all over, which was extremely heavy.
The uncle wiped the mud on his hand, handed a ball to Mu Nuannuan, and smiled: “Do you know this thing?”
Mu Nuannuan stared at the thing for a few seconds before confirming: “It’s a sweet potato.”
The uncle was surprised: “Do you know this too?”
“Yes, I bought it in the supermarket, but I have never seen one just dug out of the ground.” Mu Nuannuan said, squatting down curiously, and took one.
After watching for a long time, she bit the corner of her lip and said, “It’s a bit small.”
“I’ll plan a few to try. When you can eat it, you can dig home. Take these to cook sweet potato porridge.” The uncle said, and put the sweet potatoes he planed out into the back basket.
Mu Nuannuan also helped him pick it up together.
In the end, there was a sweet potato with a smooth skin. The uncle took a knife and cut it open and handed it to Mu Nuannuan: “Try it, this kind of well-looking sweet potato tastes sweet and crisp.
Mu Nuannuan took it and took a bite, which was indeed sweet and crispy.
“Is it sweet?”
“Well, it’s very sweet.”
Mu Nuannuan helped the uncle walk behind with a basket on his back, and the uncle walked in front with a sickle, and the two chatted together.
When approaching the door of the house, Mu Nuannuan shouted into the house: “Mu Tingxiao, we dug a very sweet sweet potato!”
Mu Nuannuan’s words were out, but there was no response from Mu Tingxiao.
Mu Nuannuan said to herself: “Don’t you still wake up?”
As she thought, she walked back with the uncle.
When she walked to the door, she saw that there seemed to be more people in the room.
Mu Nuannuan was stunned for a moment, and the expression on her face slowly faded.
Gu Zhiyan and the others found it.
The uncle squinted his eyes and looked into the room: “Is anyone here at home?”
“It should be our friend who came here.” Mu Nuannuan pursed her lips, and said faintly.
The uncle was also stunned, and it took a few seconds to react, and he reached out and took off the back basket she was carrying: “Go and see, I’ll make a sweet potato porridge.”
Mu Nuannuan turned her head, only to see the uncle crouched back, carrying a basket on his back to the kitchen.
Mu Nuannuan went to the hall.
There are no windows in the main room. When you enter from the outside, because of the alternating light, some people can’t see the people inside for a while.
Mu Nuannuan stepped in and took a moment to see what was going on inside.
Mu Tingxiao was sitting on a wooden chair, and the man sitting opposite him was not Gu Zhiyan!
As soon as Mu Nuannuan came in, both of them turned to look at her.
There was some expression on Mu Tingxiao’s face, his eyes were deep, and he couldn’t tell what he was thinking.
And the other man smiled slightly towards Mu Nuannuan: “Nuan Nuan.”
The surprise on Mu Nuannuan’s face was too late to stop: “Li… Jiuheng, how come you… come here?”
Wrong, the man sitting across from Mu Tingxiao was Li Jiuheng.
Mu Nuannuan knew from Mu Tingxiao that Gu Zhiyan had come to look for Shen Liang, and had been guessing that the first person to find him might be Gu Zhiyan, but Shiye was more likely.
Although Mu Tingxiao didn’t come out with Shiye this time, in Mu Nuannuan’s view, Shiye was an almighty special assistant, and his supernatural powers were so great that there were things he couldn’t do.
She had never thought about it anyway, the first person to find it turned out to be Li Jiuheng.
“Of course I am here to find you.” Li Jiuheng smiled openly and purely. It seemed that he simply knew that Mu Nuannuan was trapped here, so he brought someone to find her.
Li Jiuheng spoke lightly, but Mu Nuannuan felt a little heavy.
She came to find out about Shen Liang, except that Mu Tingxiao knew, and she had never told Li Jiuheng.
She does not deny that Li Jiuheng is capable, but it is impossible to find her in such a short time without knowing her itinerary.
