C417 The Old Woman

Two girls couldn't help screaming.

Abao rushed forward, spread his arms and stood under the tree. "Yi, it's too dangerous. Quickly come down. "

Yi's expression did not change. "Uncle Leopard, don't worry. I will be fine. Don't stand here. I'm going to chop off the branches. The rest of you can start working as well. We don't have much time left. "

It turned out that he used his dagger for this purpose.

Yi held the tree trunk with one hand and the dagger with the other. He slashed at the tree branch beside him.

It was indeed a sharp dagger. Even though he did not have much strength, a tree branch that was as thick as two fingers was cut off and fell to the ground.

Seeing this, the two boys looked for a small tree that they could use to break the tree branches. Yi said, "Don't choose a very small tree. If you break the tree branches, they will die. Also, pine trees and cypress trees are flammable. Even wet firewood can be ignited. You guys look for these two branches. "

The oldest Hong Xuan asked curiously, "Yi, how do you know so much?"

Yi raised his eyebrows proudly, "My dad told me. "

Fortunately, his dad told him about his adventures on the deserted island, so he learned this knowledge.

While Yi was busy chopping wood, Xiaobao led Xiaoguai and the others to collect the ingredients according to the route on the map.

The process went very smoothly, and very quickly, two big bags of ingredients were collected. It was very natural for the two boys to hold onto them.

The last one was Fu Chenghai's house.

Xiaobao let the boy who was twisting things sit by the side of the road and wait. He brought Xiaoguai and Sisi to knock on the door. "Hello, is anyone home?"

A few minutes later, they heard the creaking sound of the door opening. An old woman appeared at the door.

The moment she saw Xiaoguai, her eyes lit up, but very quickly, her eyes dimmed and she asked, "What's the matter?"

Xiaoguai tilted her head and revealed her cute dimples, "Grandma, can you give us some vegetables?"

The old woman's voice softened a little, "What vegetables do you want?"

Xiaoguai hurriedly pulled Xiaobao's hand. "Brother, quickly take a look. What else is missing?"

"Grandma, we still need cucumbers, potatoes, eggs and fish. Do you have these?"

The old woman looked at Xiaobao and then looked at Xiaoguai. They were siblings. They were really similar.

She nodded. "The two of you, follow me in. " After saying that, she first walked into the courtyard and pulled the puppy to the side to prevent it from biting the children.

"Sisi, stay here and wait for us. " Xiaobao instructed and held Xiaoguai's hand as he followed behind the old woman.

The courtyard was not big. There were some flowers and grass planted in it, and it was very clean.

There were four or five red brick houses. The old woman directly led them to the kitchen. She bent down in front of the fridge to find what they needed. As if they were chatting, she asked Xiaoguai, "Little girl, you look very cute. Do you look like your mother?"

Xiaoguai replied crisply, "Yes, everyone says that I look like my mommy. Auntie also said that I look exactly the same as Mommy when we were young. It looks like I was carved out of the same mold. . . "

"Pa!" An egg fell from the old woman's hand and smashed onto the ground.

Xiaobao said, "Grandma, where's the broom? I'll help you clean it up. "

"No need," the old woman refused, but quickly changed her mind. "It's in the courtyard outside. Help me get it. "

Little Treasure responded, turned around, and ran towards the courtyard.

The old woman suddenly came in front of Xiaoguai and asked in a low voice, "Little girl, what's your mommy's name?"1

Xiaoguai blinked her beautiful big eyes. "Grandma, why do you know my mommy's name?" Her daddy once taught her not to casually tell her parents' names to strangers.

The old woman was stunned and said, What?" The old woman was stunned and said, Because you look very similar to the daughter of a friend of mine. . . "

Xiaoguai replied, "Oh. " She tilted her head to look at her as if she was considering whether the old lady was a good person or not. After a moment, she smiled and said, "My mommy's name is Xia Dong. "

Xia Dong, Xia Dong, it really was her!

The old woman's body suddenly trembled and almost knocked over everything in her hands.

Her expression suddenly became very ugly. She opened her mouth and gasped for breath, as if someone had grabbed her neck.

"Grandma, what's wrong?" Xiaoguai was so anxious that she was about to cry.

Xiaobao happened to walk in with a broom. When he saw the situation, he was also shocked. He quickly ran forward to help the old woman sit on a chair. "Grandma, are you alright?"

"Don't be afraid. . . I. . . I'm fine. . . " As the old woman comforted them, she took out a small spray from her pocket and sprayed it a few times in front of her nose.

A few minutes later, she finally calmed down.

She let out a long breath and looked at the concerned children around her. She couldn't help but feel her nose ache and almost shed tears.

"Grandma, are you alright?" The two children asked at the same time.

"I'm fine. Grandma is fine. " The old woman wiped the corners of her eyes and forced a smile. However, due to the scar on her face, her smile appeared somewhat terrifying.

She reached out and touched the two children's hair and gently asked, "How old are you?"

Xiaoguai was the first to speak, "Five years old. We are studying in kindergarten. "

"Good, that's good. " The old woman's eyes were full of smiles as she carefully looked at them and gently asked, "Is your parents alright?"

Xiaoguai proudly nodded her head, "Very good. My daddy loves my mommy very much. "

Although Xiaobao was a little confused, he felt that the old lady was not a bad person. He also nodded and said, "They are all very good. "

"That's good. . . " The smile in the old lady's eyes became even brighter. After a while, she took back her hand and said, "I have prepared everything you need. Go back early. It will be dark soon. "

She put the things she had tidied up in the convenience bag and sent them to the yard door.

"Thank you, grandma. Goodbye, grandma. " The children waved at her.

She also smiled and waved. Her stooped body leaned against the yard door. When they disappeared from her sight, she slowly retracted her gaze and returned to the yard with a lonely look.

When the sun set, the children all brought the treasures they found and rushed back to the riverside. Very soon, they found two cooking pots on the lawn. The teacher had already washed the pots and pans clean and was waiting for them to come back so that they could start cooking.

"Wow, teacher, you guys are so awesome!"

"Is this used to cook? How did you build it?"

Ding Lin had already used the firewood that Yi and the others had picked up to burn the stove. She wiped the sweat off her face and smiled as she explained to the children how to build a simple stove, how to ignite the firewood, and make the fire burn even more vigorously. Then she instructed the students in Group A, the boys were responsible for drawing water, the girls were responsible for washing the vegetables, and she was handling the fresh fish by the river.
