Ji Yan was naturally with Li Wenjing. The family she lived in only had an old granny and a six or seven-year-old boy. There was a big yellow dog living in the house. Unfortunately, the dog’s leg seemed to be broken and it was not tied up. It limped and didn’t bark when it saw a stranger.
Li Wenjing’s family had raised a pet dog, and she had never been in contact with this kind of dog since she was a child. As soon as she saw it, she wanted to tease it, but she didn’t mind being dirty.
The big yellow dog glanced at Li Wenjing and crawled back into its nest, motionless. Li Wenjing took out a ham sausage from her bag and broke it into small pieces and threw it over. The big yellow dog ate one piece at a time, and it tasted very delicious.
Ji Yan didn’t ignore the boy’s licking expression behind her. He stared straight in the direction of Li Wenjing feeding the dog. The boy was six or seven years old, and he went to school in western style clothes in the city. Maybe he could hold a tablet in his hand all day long.
But the little boy was very thin and a little malnourished. He was not the kind of African refugees. Maybe he was not lacking in food and clothing with the old woman, but he couldn’t keep up with the nutrition.
Ji Yan sighed, lowered her body, and said softly to him, “Do you want to drink milk?” She took out the milk from her backpack, opened it, and handed it to him.
The little boy looked at her timidly, then reached out to take it and began to drink it.
Li Wenjing also turned back at this time. Seeing the little boy’s appearance, she felt a little guilty, as if she should not have fed the dog with ham sausage first.
She took out all kinds of snacks from her bag. The little boy’s eyes lit up and he stared at her.
Ji Yan reached out to stop Li Wenjing from handing it to the little boy and said, “He hasn’t eaten yet. It’s not good to eat too much snacks. I’ll give it to him when I have nothing to do.”
Hearing this, Li Wenjing stuck out her tongue and took it back. Seeing that the little boy was disappointed, she squatted down to comfort and tease him.
When Huo Qing arrived, she saw Li Wenjing and Ji Yan talking to a little boy. He lived with a boy in the next door, and everything was ready.
“Sister Ji Yan, Li Wenjing, are we going to have dinner together?”
“Where are you going to eat?” Li Wenjing touched her belly. She had been in the car for a long time and was hungry.
“Let’s go to the village head’s grandpa’s house. He made a big pot of rice there,” Huo Qing said.
Ji Yan and Li Weijing looked at each other and went back to the house to talk to the old lady first. Then they led the little boy to the village head’s house with Huo Qing.
The village chief’s house was probably the largest one in the village. In addition to the old man and the children, there was also a young middle-aged man, who was the son of the village chief. He was hired to help the people in the village and was also used to protect the village.
The big pot of rice was made by him alone. As the name suggested, the whole pot was filled with green vegetables. The faces of the girls turned green, and they all felt disgusted.
Huo Qing glared at them. She didn’t care about the three boys at all. Instead, she served them some rice.
Ji Yan and Li Weijing were taking care of the children. They were not used to eating, and the people in the village ate very well.
After eating, they sat together and chatted. The village chief’s grandpa gave them a brief introduction of the local customs here. Only then did Ji Yan realize that the people here were all from the Bu Yi tribe. No wonder she didn’t recognize the old lady when she saw that the old lady was wearing national clothes.
Those girls left as soon as they finished eating. In fact, they only ate a few chopsticks as if they hadn’t eaten anything. Because there were so many left in the bowl, the middle-aged man was not very satisfied.
However, the gentle-looking Ji Yan and the carefree little girl next to her were very supportive and ate everything. The middle-aged man didn’t think that he cooked delicious food. This was a personal problem. It was shameful to waste food.
Ji Yan told Huo Qing to give the dry goods to the girl. If she was really hungry, it would be troublesome. It would be a group of people.
Huo Qing’s face was full of unwillingness, but there was nothing she could do. Ji Yan had already made it very clear, so he had no choice but to unwillingly take a few boys to deliver food to those girls who were so meddlesome.
On the other side, Ji Yan and Li Wenjing took the little boy’s hand and went back to the old lady’s house. The little boy didn’t like to talk, so he played with the intelligent toy that Li Wenjing gave him.
The next morning, Li Wenjing got up at six o’clock with the sound of chicken, pulling the sleepy Li Wenjing.
The two of them chatted and peeled corn quietly with the old lady. After a while, the little boy woke up and moved a small stool to sit beside his grandmother.
After a while, all the girls and boys came over and came to see Ji Yan unconsciously. They didn’t know what to do when they got up. They always felt that Ji Yan knew a lot.
Huo Qing brought the soy milk from the village head’s house and distributed it to everyone in the granny’s house.
After Ji Yan finished drinking, she continued to teach them how to peel corn and hang corn. A boy suddenly asked, “Sister Ji Yan, how can you do this? I feel that you know everything.”
Ji Yan smiled, and in the early morning, her face was as warm as the rising sun. She said slowly, “When I was a child, I lived in the countryside with my mother, and there were many people living there. These things are very simple, and they will be easy to deal with.”
Everyone was silent, not knowing Ji Yan’s identity. Huo Qing and Li Wen Jing had never heard Ji Yan talk about the past. It turned out that she had lived in such an environment when she was a child.
“In fact, this kind of life is very good. I really miss it and have no worries.” Her words made others look at her seriously again. They were all children living in big cities, and even had some family backgrounds. They had been spoiled since they were young.
In this type of environment, they were all more or less arrogant, somewhat looking down on the countryside children.
However, Ji Yan did not mind the hardships of living in the countryside at all. On the contrary, she missed that period of time very much. They could see that she was really missing it.
Huo Qing’s eyes followed her deeply, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. Li Wenjing patted Ji Yan’s shoulder and said, “Don’t miss it. I’ll go back with you to have a look next time.”
Ji Yan came back to her senses and said with a relieved smile, “Okay.”
In a luxurious office on the top floor of North Jiang City, Shang Jinshen was quietly looking out of the window at the busy traffic. There were thousands of lights, which set off the city’s prosperity.
But his heart had already drifted far away. The remote stockaded village where Lan Si had investigated must not have such bright lights, but she was there.
Without him and his merchants, she would definitely show a sincere smile there.
“Young master, Young Madam has already arrived at her destination. Darknorth will protect her.” Behind him, Lan Si reported.
Shang Jinshen nodded, still looking out of the window. It seemed that she was not there, and there was nothing to look forward to when he went back to the Ji Gui.
He was really used to being affected by her.
Anyway, there were only three days. After three days, he would definitely keep her by his side and not let her go anywhere.
At noon, the sun was just right.
