Dressed as a peasant girl, full of happiness
Chapter 316: Reluctant to Let Him Go
Young man, if she is really your aunt, this matter is hard to say. Otherwise, why don't you come to my house for a cup of tea first? When she comes back, we can sit together and talk about it properly?"
The lady invited warmly.
Geng Changshuo frowned slightly, his face full of impatience, and he said unhappily:
"No, thank you! I'll just wait here for a while!"
He was secretly wondering in his heart, it was said that mountain people were simple, introverted and not good at speaking, but the old woman in front of him looked quite smooth and sophisticated, especially her pair of eyes that were flashing with cunning and calculation, he thought there must be something fishy going on.
In that case, I might as well just reject her outright. Let's see what tricks she comes up with next!
The lady was not upset at being rejected, she was still smiling, even more friendly and amiable than before:
"Young man, listen to my advice. The situation in our mountain is rather special. Sometimes, what people often say 'a little while' is not really what it seems. As the saying goes, 'a horse will die if it is seen before it is seen'. Who can tell for sure how long this 'a little while' will take? In my opinion, you should go with me to my house and rest for a while."
However, Geng Changshuo knew clearly in his mind that this seemingly kind lady had probably already made up her mind on how to deal with him.
Even so, he remained calm and pretended to be ignorant of the world and asked:
"Auntie, how is the hygiene situation here?"
At the same time, his face revealed an expression of inner struggle as he wanted to stay but was worried about the dirty and chaotic environment around him.
"Hey, young man, I never thought you were such a particular person! What a coincidence! We have a room in our house that is so clean and tidy. Don't disbelieve me! Come on, I'll take you over to have a look. I guarantee you'll be convinced."
Looking at the old woman in front of him, her dry lips moving up and down constantly, and her eyes open and talking nonsense, Geng Changshuo felt very uncomfortable.
But he also understood the truth that "you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a lamb" and "you can't get a tiger cub without risking it". Although he knew that the old woman was writing him a blank check, he was still determined to take the risk and give it a try.
He pretended to be pitiful and sighed deeply:
"Aunt, I have come from a long way. I have been searching for my long-lost aunt for a long time. If you don't believe me, you can look at me, covered in dust and exhausted.
You don’t know how willful my aunt is. She ran away in anger just because of a small dispute with my uncle. It really makes people angry and pitiful!
Oh, forget it, let's not talk about these troubles. I rushed all the way, asked around, and finally found a place that was somewhat similar to her after going through a lot of hardships.
Whether this is really the place or not is not important anymore. I just want to rest for a while.
However, auntie, I have to trouble you with one thing. You must keep your house clean and tidy! First, please sweep the floor, and then sprinkle some water to make the air fresher.
Also, please change my bed sheets... To be honest, I really can't stand that kind of dirty and messy environment!"
Geng Changshuo kept muttering on and on, and his behavior was exactly like that of a troublemaker who was poor, sour, and nitpicking.
The old lady from the small mountain village had seen the world, but at this moment she was speechless at Geng Changshuo's request, and couldn't help but sneer in her heart:
Boy, you are almost going to die, yet you still have the leisure to ask me all kinds of things! You still can't stand the poor environment? Humph, after you drink the tea I made specially for you, I guarantee you will be able to endure any bad environment! Hehehehe!
Although the old woman thought so in her heart, she still responded:
"Don't worry, young man. My house is the neatest and cleanest in this whole village! I'm not bragging. I'm afraid it would be hard to find a more suitable place to live besides mine."
After hearing this, Geng Changshuo hesitated for a moment, as if he was a little undecided. Finally, as if he had been successfully persuaded by the old woman, he nodded and said:
"Okay, then I'll go to your house first. But let me be frank. If the environment and sanitation are not ideal, I will definitely not stay overnight."
"Okay, okay, young man, just follow me. If you are not satisfied at that time, I will cut off my head and give it to you!" The old woman muttered as she walked forward with a staggering gait.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Geng Changshuo quickly took out an antidote pill from his bag and swallowed it without hesitation.
"My boy, look at our small village, which is surrounded by mountains. If you plan to just find a place to stay for two nights, that won't work!
Because there are not only ferocious wild wolves in the mountains, but also extremely ferocious wild boars. They often come down the mountain at night to harass the people... and we are quite far from the county town... Hey, the lives of us ordinary people are really hard... Fortunately, my grandson lives in the county town..."
As the old lady walked forward, she kept chattering on to introduce the situation of the small mountain village to Geng Changshuo, just like a hospitable, talkative and lovely old lady.
But Geng Changshuo did not dare to relax his vigilance at all, for fear that he would fall into her trap if he was careless.
"Is that so! I was thinking of going back to the city to deal with it, but now that you've said that, I'd better go with you."
"Oh, young man, the county town is so far away, you can't..."
As she said this, she turned around, rushed to Geng Changshuo, and tried to pull his sleeve, saying:
"My child, this place is far from the city, and there are no bullock carts going to the city today. Aren't you tired of going back and forth?
Let me tell you, your aunt’s home is in a very good environment, not worse than the county town. The bedding in the guesthouse in the county town is very dirty. I don’t know how many people have lived there…
Child, you can stay here and wait for your aunt to come back. Then you can go back with your aunt."
As she spoke, a hint of barely perceptible contempt flashed through her eyes, which was even more pronounced when she looked at Geng Changshuo. In her mind, she had already thoroughly analyzed him from the inside out:
This guy speaks in a sarcastic and pretentious way, and all he says is the manners and etiquette of aristocratic families, but his clothes are so shabby, I'm afraid he is just pretending to be elegant. He also keeps talking about paying attention to hygiene, but he is just trying to save face.
Despite this, the old lady did not expose the other party's disguise in person. Instead, she pretended to be fawning and flattered Geng Changshuo everywhere.
After all, it is rare for outsiders to visit this remote place. Although this guest is a bit pretentious, it is undeniable that he has outstanding looks - sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and a dignified appearance. If he is sold to that pervert who likes men, he will definitely be able to get a lot of money in return!
Thinking of this, the old lady became more and more reluctant to let Geng Changshuo leave.
