The whole family travels with me

Chapter 22
Realizing that he was in trouble, Huang Ye struggled to get up from the bathtub. The clothes on his body were almost completely wet. Fortunately, the weather in May was neither cold nor hot, so even if he got wet, it wouldn't be a big deal.

She twisted the clothes on her body, and when she couldn't wring them dry, she gave up and began to look at the room.

The house was a simple wooden house, with only a few thin wooden boards on the roof, and dense vines growing on it. If those vines hadn't buffered her just now, she would have suffered a lot even if there was a bathtub underneath.

There was nothing else in the room except a bathtub and a simple shelf. She opened the door and walked out. After taking only two steps, her legs went weak and she squatted down. It looked like she had a sprained hamstring.

As a last resort, she could only force herself to stand up and look at her surroundings. There were several thatched houses outside, a relatively flat small yard, and a few rows of vegetable fields in the corners. Even those vegetables had all been eaten by small animals. Look. It doesn't look like it, as if the owner is growing vegetables to feed animals instead of eating them himself.

For Huang Ye, who had been suffering for several years, he couldn't help but feel sorry for the owner of the house. What a waste of good stuff!

The door of the main room was locked, so she couldn't get in. She could only go into the stove room to look around. The stove was spotless and there was still some warm water in the pot. It seemed that the owner had just left the house not long ago.

It's getting dark now, and the other party shouldn't be far away.

While she was checking her foot injury, a teenage boy pushed open the fence gate carrying a bundle of firewood.

Huang Ye quickly put on his shoes, stood up with strength, and limped to the young man like a child who had done something wrong, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I accidentally fell down when I went into the mountains to collect herbs. , and even damaged your house, but I can compensate, can you please take me in for one night?"

She knew that this request was a bit excessive, but it was already dark now and it was not safe for her to go out like this.

The young man stared at Huang Ye for a moment, his sharp eyes flashed away, and he scratched his head with a smile, "It's okay, I'll go take a look."

The young man carried the firewood into the stove house, took a ladle of water from the water tank and drank a few gulps. He washed the handle again before leaving the yard. He still looked honest and honest, "Well. I only have one bed in my house. If you don't If you mind, you can squeeze in with me."

Huang Ye's eyes widened in an instant, and he shook his head and waved his hands, "No, no, no, I can just stay here for the night and I won't squeeze in with you."

What a joke, how could a young girl like her sleep with a strange man?
The young man raised his eyebrows, but without saying anything else, he turned around and opened the door of the main room to let Huang Ye in.

There is nothing else in the main room except a small square table for eating and a chair. This home can almost be described as having only four walls.

Seeing Huang Ye in a daze, the young man explained: "My family is very poor, and I make everything myself bit by bit, so you don't have anywhere to sleep, so you might as well sleep with me!"

Huang Ye shook his head like a rattle, "No, no, no, I can sleep on my stomach!"

Seeing her determined look, the young man turned and left.

Huang Ye breathed a long sigh of relief and lay down tiredly on the small square table. The boy behind him raised a smirk on his lips.

After a while, the young man came in carrying a backpack, "Is this yours?"

Huang Ye turned his head suddenly, his dull eyes instantly brightened, "Where did you find it? I thought I lost it!"

The basket was missing when she fell down. She wanted to look for it, but it was already dark, so she had to give up. She didn't expect this young man to be so powerful.

The corner of the young man's mouth twitched and he said, "The roof of the bathroom fell down on its own."

Huangye: "."

She unzipped her backpack. Fortunately, everything was still there. She had enough dry food for tonight. Seeing that the boy's family was not in a good situation, in order to thank him for taking him in, she gave half of her dry food to him, "I I didn’t bring any money with me when I went into the mountains for the first time, so I can only thank you with this, don’t dislike it!”

She thought the young man would be polite, but she didn't expect the other party to take it in peace of mind and started eating it in front of her.

Huang Ye was stunned for a moment and then took a bite. "Where did you come from?" the boy asked curiously.

Huang Ye swallowed the food and glanced at him, "In the nearby village, someone's family is sick. I went into the mountains to collect medicine. What about you? Are you the only one in your family?"

The young man nodded, "I have lived here alone since I was very young. Sometimes I catch some prey and send it to the small market outside Pucheng to exchange for some money. I see that you are walking with a limp. Are you injured?"

Huang Ye nodded and said nothing more.

The young man wisely did not ask any more questions.

The two ate dry food in the dark main room. The young man turned around and went into the house to sleep. It seemed that he didn't want to care about her anymore.

After staying in Pucheng for so many years, Huang Ye had seen this kind of hospitality for the first time, but the other party's indifference made her relieved, because she was not good at being polite to others either.

Under the moonlight, she took off her shoes again to check her ankle. Fortunately, it was just a sprain and the bones were fine. If possible, she could apply some herbal medicine and rest for two or three days and she would be fine.

But the problem was that she didn't have the right herbal medicine around her, so she had to find it. She didn't know if the cold and honest young man was willing to help.

Because of the pain in her feet, she couldn't sleep well that night and moved from time to time.

The young man in the room naturally heard it clearly.

At dawn, the boy got up as soon as Huang Ye fell asleep. When he passed by Huang Ye, he looked down at her red and swollen ankles and went out expressionlessly.

When Huang Ye woke up again, she found a broken bowl beside her, which contained mashed herbs. She picked up the herbs and smelled them, with a flash of surprise on her face, and then applied the medicine to her feet.

The boy didn't know where he had gone, and the whole yard was quiet. There was no movement outside the yard until about half past midnight. She thought it was the boy coming back, and was looking forward to it, but she didn't expect that it was a wild boar.

At this moment, Huang Ye felt that her muscles were tense and her breathing was stagnant. She secretly put her hand into her backpack and took out a sickle, ready to fight the wild boar at any time.

At this time, two more rough voices came from outside.

"Look, the wild boar is right there, do you shoot or should I?"

Huang Ye's face turned pale with fright. This wild boar has not yet acted aggressively. If it were hit by an arrow, it would go crazy. There is a high probability that she would become the wild boar's target.

If her feet were not injured, she could still find a way to cope, but now she was struggling to protect herself.

Before she could stop shouting, two arrows pierced the wild boar's body. With a shrill wail, the wild boar began to rush around in the yard.

Huang Ye came back to her senses, hurriedly closed the door of the main room, and hid in the inner room. After thinking about it, it seemed unsafe to stand on the ground, so she tried to use a rope to climb up the beam.

As soon as she sat down, the door of the main room was knocked open by a wild boar.

Huang Ye's heart was in his throat as he listened to the movement outside.

After a while, the wild boar howled twice more, and it seemed that the two hunters came after him to replenish a few arrows.
