C193 (1/2)
After staring at Yin Tongtian for a long time, my stomach started to growl.
Yin Tongtian looked at me with a serious face and loudly said, ”Old granny, are you hungry again?”
I feel his deep malice, what is this? He dealt with me with a few buckets of instant noodles on the train. After getting off the train, he didn't even find a small restaurant to compensate me. So what if I'm hungry?!
”Isn't it all your fault? The money you earned is not even enough for me to eat. There's always money to eat!” I replied even louder. Then, I started a long string of nagging, causing Yin Tongtian to be stunned.
As a matter of fact, it was effective. A few minutes after I unilaterally bellowed at Yin Tongtian, a girl knocked on our door and asked in a soft voice, ”Guest, are you hungry?”
I ran to the door and opened it. The girl was dressed differently from the girl I had seen before, entirely in the clothes of a college student, but I couldn't care less about that now, and my eyes were on the tray she had brought with her.
The girl brought in the tray and set up the plates and chopsticks for us, but she didn't seem to want to leave. She just sat there and watched us eat.
Yin Tongtian ate while chatting with the girl. I was responsible for the entire meal.
The girl's name was Jincheng. She had been sent out to school since she was young, and she only came back once during the winter vacation. Actually, the people in the village were relatively isolated from the outside world. Outsiders could come, but they could not leave. And the kumquat is the dream flower's sister, so under the dream flower's insistence, is able to leave the village.
The Dreamy Flower was not a name. Rather, it was a title. It could be said to be the equivalent of a village chief. In other words, the Dreamland Flower was more like a sacrifice, or perhaps a witch.
The important matters of the village were decided by the Dream Flowers, worshipping the heavens was also the Dream Flowers' duty. It felt like this was more like the model of a matriarchal clan.
Citrus is very clever, he told us all this, colleagues, we made up the false information has also found out most of it.
After we finished eating, she quickly cleaned up the dishes and said, ”Guest, let's go after the new year. Our annual pork is completely free to the guests.”
”Year pork?” I like all kinds of delicious food, this is the first time I've heard of pork.
”That's right, this is the custom here, as well as the secret to our longevity. A bite of the annual pork would last for many years.” He sounded serious, not like he was trying to trick people.
After saying that, Jincheng turned around and was about to leave. Yin Tongtian suddenly called out to her, ”Jincheng!”
”Customer, is there anything else I can help you with?” Citrus smirked, the dimples at the corners of his lips looking very charming.
Yin Tongtian casually said, ”I've been looking forward to the Village of Longevity for a long time. I heard that there's a spring in the He Creek that can extend my lifespan by ten years if I'm lucky enough to see it.”
Jincheng frowned and thought for a while, then asked Yin Tongtian, ”Customer, are you sure you have this spring? How come I've never heard of it? ”
”It might be because everyone is spreading rumors, but since I'm here, I might as well go find him.”
”Okay, but don't lose the customer.” ”If you get lost, he'll give you directions.”
Yin Tongtian hurried to thank him. The way I looked at the kumquat was a little off. Indeed, there was someone who loved the handsome old man. He wasn't like me; he had shriveled into a bitter gourd.
I snatched Little Orange from the hands of Yin Tongtian. When I held it in my hands, I realized that this Little Orange was actually carved from stone. Its golden body and green leaves were completely natural.
”Yin Tongtian, this should sell for a lot of money, right?” I can't help it, I'm tempted by everything about money.
