“You guys eat first. My wife and I will wait for you outside. After you guys finish eating, I will bring you to a room to rest,” said Ah Ping.
With that, Ah Ping left with his wife.
Huo Chen was about to scoop up a bowl of soup for Chi Jiao, but Quan Jue was one step quicker. He was already placing a bowl of soup in front of her.
“Thank you, Brother Quan,” Chi Jiao beamed at him.
Quan Jue rubbed her head.
Huo Chen watched as they smiled at each other. There was a kind of harmony and sweetness between them that no one else could join in. His eyes darkened.
“Yaoyao, come and have some soup.” Beitang Lie scooped up a bowl of soup for Pei Yao.
“Thank you,” Pei Yao said with a smile.
Chi Jiao looked up at Beitang Lie and happened to see him looking at Pei Yao with blazing eyes. Her lips curled up playfully.
If Beitang Lie thought that Pei Yao was as gullible as the women he had previously met, he would be gravely mistaken.
Pei Yao was a rose with thorns.
It wouldn’t be an easy task for Beitang Lie to win her over.
After the simple meal, Huo Chen followed Ah Ping to the backyard.
The village was spacious and sparsely populated. Their houses were their pride and joy, so they were all constructed very nicely and were well-maintained.
Ah Ping’s family was very poor, but there were still about eight rooms in the front and backyards.
He tidied up the three rooms in the backyard for Chi Jiao and the rest to stay in.
Chi Jiao and Pei Yao were both girls. They could look after each other if they stayed in the same room.
Quan Jue wasn’t used to sleeping with strangers, so he slept in one room alone.
Beitang Lie and Huo Chen shared the last room.
After everything was arranged, Ah Ping brought hot water over.
Placing the hot water buckets and clean plastic basins on the ground, Ah Ping said to Chi Jiao and Pei Yao, “Ladies, we have a curfew in the village. No matter what you hear in the second half of the night, don’t leave this room before dawn.”
His tone was very serious. Coupled with his solemn expression, he gave off a very grave feeling.
His words were more like a warning to them.
Chi Jiao and Pei Yao nodded.
Only then did Ah Ping smile with satisfaction and leave the room.
After hearing Ah Ping’s footsteps fade away, Pei Yao said, “Jiaojiao, it’s better if the two of us don’t sleep at the same time later. You sleep first. I’ll keep watch.”
This village gave her a very bad feeling. She couldn’t sleep here without any precautions.
Chi Jiao smiled, revealing her cute little dimples.
“That’s not necessary. I have a way to let us all sleep well.” With that, she took out the little pink lizard from her pocket.
The little pink lizard was sleeping soundly in Chi Jiao’s pocket when it was suddenly dragged out. It opened its round eyes in confusion and glanced at her.
The moment Pei Yao saw the little pink lizard, her eyes lit up. “Is this a lizard? It’s so cute!”
This was the first time she had seen such a sweet little lizard!
Chi Jiao nodded with a smile. “It’s called little pink lizard. It’s very human-like. Just let it keep watch for us.”
“Can it really do so?” Pei Yao asked doubtfully.
“Little pink lizard, help us keep watch later. If there’s any abnormal activity, wake me up immediately, okay?” Chi Jiao said gently to the lizard.
The little pink lizard nodded.
Pei Yao widened her eyes in surprise when she saw that the little pink lizard could really understand what Chi Jiao was saying..
