Chapter 40 040 Conversation

The moment she saw Zhao Yuanle, Widow Yu's face showed joy, but she quickly lowered her head nervously.

Zhao Yuanle first greeted her with a smile.

"The things I received that day were your gifts, right?"

Widow Yu raised her head, glanced at Zhao Yuanle carefully, and smiled shyly.

"It's a gift from me. I found it yesterday when I was digging wild onions in the mountains."

Zhao Yuanle: "It's delicious. My brother ate a lot."

Hearing this, the widow became even more happy.

Zhao Yuanle took the Prunella Vulgaris and walked up to Widow Yu. Widow Yu was still a little uncomfortable for a while and wanted to step back reflexively, but she stopped after she realized what she was doing.

Zhao Yuanle: "Here you go, soak it in water and drink it to reduce swelling."

Widow Yu was a little hesitant, but seeing Zhao Yuanle's calm and gentle eyes, she secretly gritted her teeth and finally stretched out her hand.

After taking the prunella vulgaris, Widow Yu was obviously a little embarrassed. After she said thank you, she didn't know what to say.

After not interacting with others for a long time, Widow Yu now habitually becomes nervous.

Zhao Yuanle walked over naturally. She waved to the little piglet, and the little piglet, which was trying hard to eat grass, suddenly ran over.

Widow Yu looked strange.

Zhao Yuanle touched the piglet and introduced it to the widow.

"I'm herding pigs."

Widow Yu: "Herding pigs?"

Zhao Yuanle nodded: "Yes, together with the cattle, it knows how to find food on its own."

Widow Yu smiled slightly when she heard this. She felt that Zhao Yuanle was like a child, but she still enthusiastically gave Zhao Yuanle advice.

"Little piggy eats it tenderly. There is a piece of cabbage that has just grown behind my house. You can take it over and eat it."

Zhao Yuanle then asked: "Are there any cows to eat next to it?"

Widow Yu smiled and nodded: "Yes, there are few people coming here, and there are a lot of wild vegetables and everything."

Hearing this, Zhao Yuanle took the cow and called to the piglet, then followed Widow Yu.

Widow Yu walked in front and found it very interesting to see the little piglet following Zhao Yuanle obediently.

"This little piggy still understands what you say."

Zhao Yuanle hummed and raised his head.

"I have a secret."

Widow Yu smiled at Zhao Yuanle's triumphant appearance.

The two of them were walking on the path, and from time to time their clothes would be caught on the weeds beside them.

Widow Yu walked in front, broke off some small branches that had grown up, and stepped on any extra weeds that had grown up.

She turned around and explained to Zhao Yuanle sheepishly.

"I usually don't think it's a problem when I walk alone, so I haven't had it cut."

The cow behind Zhao Yuanle chewed a lot of grass step by step.

Zhao Yuanle: "It's okay. It just so happens that our cow eats a few more bites. She is pregnant and needs to eat more."

At the end of the path, there is a road paved with stone slabs, and next to it is a piece of green grass. The cows can't walk when they see it.

Zhao Yuanle tied the rope to the cherry tree next to him and waved the little piglet to go a little further ahead.

The widow's home is close at hand.

This is a small house with only two rooms wide, covered with thatch, with a flat dirt field in front and a fence made of bamboo around it. It looks a little weathered. There is also a bamboo shelf inside with some wild vegetables drying on it.

And tea leaves, this bamboo stand looks like it is newly made.

Widow Yu went over to unlock it and pushed the door open.

"Do you want some water?"

Zhao Yuanle nodded.

"want."

Widow Yu found a bamboo chair from the side.

"You sit down first and I'll get you some water to drink."

Zhao Yuanle sat on the chair, with the little piglet wandering around.

Her eyes swept over the bamboo shelf. The wild vegetables drying on it were mustard greens, and the tea smelled fragrant. She didn't know what kind it was, but it should be some local wild ones.

Widow Yu came out with a bowl of water and handed it to Zhao Yuanle to drink. Zhao Yuanle took a sip and his eyes changed.

"Is there honey?"

Widow Yu nodded and pointed to the woods nearby.

"When I saw it there, there were no bees in it. There was only a nest left, so I put it away and sometimes added some to the water to drink."

Zhao Yuanle drank the water, and Widow Yu took her to the back of the house.

"This piece of cowhide has just grown and is very tender."

Zhao Yuanle glanced at the little piglet and saw that the little piglet was very excited about these cow-skin vegetables. He waved his hand and let the little piglet go over and eat.

At this time, the air became quiet again.

Meow~

A cat meow attracted Zhao Yuanle's attention.

Following the sound, Zhao Yuanle saw a black cat, but the black cat's eyes were one yellow and one blue.

Black cat with different eyes.

Seeing people, the black cat jumped away again.

Zhao Yuanle asked curiously: "Is this your cat?"

Widow Yu smiled, shook her head and said, "I didn't raise the wild cat. Come over here sometimes. If I want to eat fish, I'll feed it some."

Zhao Yuanle couldn't help but ask a question.

"You live here alone, why don't you keep a dog?"

Widow Yu sighed softly.

"I raised it before. It was fine at first, but then it started to have problems. It stopped eating for no reason, and then it disappeared without knowing where it was."

She said, a little bit self-deprecating: "I guess it's because I'm not good at keeping a dog alive."

Zhao Yuanle made a sound.

"Then there must be another reason. It has something to do with the horoscope. I don't believe it."

Hearing this, Widow Yu was stunned for a moment, then smiled.

She knew that Zhao Yuanle didn't care about this, otherwise he wouldn't have taken the initiative to come over.

In fact, she also tried today to see if she could meet Zhao Yuanle coming to herd cattle again, but she didn't expect that she would bump into him as soon as she came over.

Zhao Yuanle talked about yesterday.

"We all went to the county yesterday, and only my father was at home."

Widow Yu nodded.

"That day I thought your family had no one, so I put things on the tree."

Zhao Yuanle knew that Widow Yu was lying, but she did not expose it.

When the atmosphere was about to fall into silence again, Zhao Yuanle took the initiative to bring up the topic.

"Did you dig up any wild onions yesterday?"

Widow Yu nodded: "I dug a lot. They are at the top of the house. Do you want to order some?"

Zhao Yuanle nodded: "Where did you dig it? I want to dig it too."

Widow Yu recalled for a while and said: "Towards Mojiagou, a little ahead, there is a hillside with many pepper trees planted, all under the trees."

With that said, Widow Yu turned around and went into the house, took out a handful of wild onions and showed them to Zhao Yuanle.

"Look, the heads of these wild onions are so big and fragrant."

Zhao Yuanle didn't need to get closer to ask, her pig's nose had already told her how rich the flavor of the wild onions was.

At this moment, a figure appeared on the road not far away. The figure just stood up and suddenly shrank back.

Zhao Yuanle glanced at him, but as soon as he looked over, the man disappeared.

She tilted her head and looked around curiously.

"There seems to be someone."

Hearing this, Widow Yu's expression froze for a moment.

There was a hint of disgust in her eyes.

Zhao Yuanle keenly felt something was wrong.

It stands to reason that there are all acquaintances around here, and no one usually walks on that road. There are no people passing by by chance. Even if they are passing by by chance, why are they hiding back?
