Traveling around the world, I have a sign-in system
Chapter 8 Arrived home
Seeing that she didn't feel inferior because of the injury on her face, Aunt Li didn't want to bring up the matter again. She could only sigh inwardly. In fact, she and Liu Jinxiang had been listening to this for a long time outside the ward.
"System, use the elementary entry-level sword technique first!"
"Ding Dong, received!"
Mo Xiaoye just felt his mind expanding. There was a lot of information about how to use the knife, various moves and techniques, and how to maximize the power. This information made him feel a little dizzy, but at the same time he was full of anticipation and excitement.
Mo Xiaoye knew that this was the reward given to him by the system - elementary introductory swordsmanship.
Although it is only an entry-level level, it is exciting enough for someone who has no martial arts foundation.
Mo Xiaoye couldn't wait to try this new skill, but then he remembered that he was still sitting in the car.
The corners of her mouth turned up, but for her with the knife wound on her face, it looked terrifying no matter how you looked at it.
Even Aunt Li next to her didn't dare to look directly at him and couldn't help but turn her head to look to the other side. She used to be a cute and beautiful baby, but now she is a scary person who makes people afraid when they see her. This sense of disparity makes her feel sad and scared.
After a 2-hour bus ride, they finally arrived at their destination. It was still a long way to go to Mo Xiaoye's home, and many thoughts flooded into her mind.
The entire Sanxing Village is surrounded by farmland, and there is a big mountain to the west.
The rice seedlings in the farmland were originally waist-high, but unfortunately they were all dried up by the extremely high temperature and lay flat on the ground, forming a thick layer of straw.
The two men rushed towards the village under the scorching sun, looking at the cracked land in the fields.
The trees on the roadside were listless, their leaves curled up and yellowed from the sun, and looked like they would be blown away by the wind.
Aunt Li looked at the crops and vegetables in the field. They had all dried up and died. Even the weeds on the roadside had turned yellow. She felt so heartbroken looking at the crops that had died in the sun.
"Oh my God, it's getting hotter and hotter. Look, the water level in the creek has dropped a lot. I guess there will be no water in the creek in a day or two."
Mo Xiaoye frowned. Was a severe drought coming? But the situation was too serious. He didn't know how his grandmother was doing, nor did he know if the well in the yard could still pump water.
Because the air was too hot, the two had to speed up, and the journey that would normally take 2 minutes was completed in 1 minute.
Villagers in every household were holding umbrellas or using fans at home, but it was still very hot.
Not to mention outside, even in the house, she was covered in sweat. "Hey, Uncle Cheng, look, is that Xiao Ye coming back? Alas, I didn't expect such a good girl to be disfigured."
"That's right. I heard that he ran into a group of human traffickers, and then she ran away and called the police. The police arrested the traffickers, but one of the leaders was missed, so they came after Xiao Ye for revenge."
"Xiao Ye Zi has done a great deed. Do you know how many women and children a human trafficker would abduct? She called the police and had the trafficker arrested. Then he could no longer abduct women and children. This is not just a matter of saving one or two families."
"If it were me, she should have returned home immediately after running away. Why call the police? Look at the revenge she is facing now. I don't know if she will ever get married."
"As a married woman, you need to be more virtuous. What do you mean by running away?
Do you know how many people were in that gang that the police shot dead?
There are thirty-five in total. If they follow the trail and find their way to our village, with their vicious and cruel personalities, will anyone in our village be able to survive?"
"That's right. The current ending is the best. It's just a pity for her pretty face."
Aunt Li passed by and heard their conversation. She couldn't help but spit, "Bah, you guys are such a chatterbox, stop talking like that. Xiao Ye, don't you know what kind of person Xiao Ye is? How can you make fun of her?"
"Ah, yes, yes, we didn't know you were back either. We're so sorry. We won't tell you anymore."
When everyone saw Mo Xiaoye, the air was quiet for a moment, then they looked at each other and dispersed.
There was nothing they could do; they felt guilty, and the protagonist they were talking about had heard everything they said.
I am not afraid of gossip, but the most frightening thing is that the person being gossiped is listening.
Mo Xiaoye smiled and reached out to touch the knife wound on her face, which the doctor refused to bandage because the weather was too hot.
It looked a little red and swollen, which was scary: "Auntie, it's okay, it will be fine in a few days, I'll go home first."
As she was robbed of everything, she now only has a small handbag containing a mobile phone and her ID card, nothing else.
Fortunately, she still had a black card in her system. When she returned home sweating profusely, she saw Grandma Mo with gray hair looking out.
She held a plastic fan in her hand and fanned herself from time to time, with an extremely anxious look on her face. She was eager for her lovely granddaughter to run in from the door and say to her as usual! "Grandma, I'm back."
Her head was also covered with sweat, and when Mo Xiaoye appeared at the door, the fan in her hand fell to the ground with a snap.
She couldn't help but shed tears: "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back alive." Grandma Mo walked out with a staggering step, and her pair of wrinkled and dry hands tightly held Mo Xiaoye's hands.
Her lips trembled slightly, and she finally said those words after a long time. Mo Xiaoye felt her concern and didn't want her to be too sad, so she shouted in the same cheerful tone as before: "Grandma, I'm back! Let's go into the house first and talk."
Feeling the scorching heat in the air, I quickly supported my grandmother and walked towards the house.
"Okay! Okay, come in quickly."
Grandma Mo's nervousness was relieved a lot by her cheerful tone. Compared with being disfigured, she was more afraid that Mo Xiaoye would be depressed.
After entering the door, Mo Xiaoye helped grandma sit down, reached out to take the fan, and gently fanned grandma: "Grandma!"
"Well, you don't have to listen to what others say. Their gossips are the most hurtful. My little Ye Zi is the best. She is kind, cute and hardworking." Grandma Mo couldn't help but feel sad as she spoke. Tears were about to burst out of her eyes. She turned her head and wiped away the tears by wiping the sweat off her eyes.
How could Mo Xiaoye not see her wiping her tears?
Grandma loves herself very much in her heart, and she knows all this: "Grandma, you don't have to care about the scar on my face. Let me tell you something. Before I went to Changhong City again, a man who claimed to be from a hidden family took a fancy to me.
He said that I was very suitable for learning martial arts and wanted to take me as his apprentice, but I would have a disaster in the next few days, and once the disaster was over, everything would be smooth sailing. He left me some medicine for healing, but I didn't dare take it.
Because he said that no matter how badly injured you are, as long as you still have a breath, you can take one pill and it will be fine. I was afraid that if I took it in the hospital, people would think I was a monster."
The more my grandmother listened, the wider her eyes widened. "Oh, is this really true? I used to hear your grandfather say that there are some masters in the world who come out from time to time to accept apprentices, but their requirements are very strict."
She lowered her eyelids slightly to hide the fear in her eyes. She was very suspicious. She wondered if the people who had hunted her back then had come to her house and set their sights on her granddaughter.
Mo Xiaoye had originally just made it up to comfort her grandmother, so that if she signed something good in the future, she would have an excuse to bring it out.
She was shocked to find that her grandmother had heard of these things.
"Hehehe! Child, you have that medicine, why don't you take it quickly? You're making me worry to death." Grandma Mo obviously believed her words. Seeing that she stood there for such a long time without moving, she hurriedly urged her to take the medicine.
"No, grandma, do you really believe that there are masters in this world? Shouldn't you...ah..."
"You damn kid, your grandfather saw it with his own eyes. Although I haven't seen it, I believe what your grandfather said. Stop talking nonsense and take out the medicine quickly. Did your cheap master give you the storage ring or something?"
Mo Xiaoye smiled ingratiatingly at her grandmother, nodded, and fanned her.
Grandma Mo snatched the fan away with some annoyance. After learning that she was in trouble, she couldn't eat or sleep well, and she also waited outside every day to see if she had come back.
