Daily Life in the Countryside After Being Reborn-Chapter 258 - 41: Eloping from the Village (Fourth Update)_2

While Zhou Ziang was still deciding if he should stay in the country, Li Ye, who had been missing for a long time, was also hesitating whether to stay in Dongnan Miao Village.

Compared to the severe cold of the north, the winter this year in the Southwest Mountain Area was very warm; the pear tree behind the Zhu Family’s house had bloomed even before the Lunar New Year.

Li Ye, accompanying his father Li Quqi, visited Zhu Shijun. As he listened to Zhu Shijun talk about how Xiao Xian had called a few days ago, Li Ye silently walked out of the house. freēwēbηovel.c૦m

Mr. Zhu had said, Xiao Xian had grown taller, she was also in middle school now, and the winter in Beijing must be colder than here. That silly girl, Xiao Xian, doesn’t like wearing thick clothes, and now... what is her current situation like.

In half a year, Xiao Xian hadn’t contacted him, no calls, no letters, she was not keeping her word; she clearly said she would come back soon. She lied to him; had she forgotten about the Southwest Mountain Area, forgotten about him?

Under the pear tree, whiter than the whitest clouds, Yezi punched the trunk, countless fine petals fell like rain, and last night’s dew came down coldly with the petals, pouring over Yezi’s face.

"I’m going to Beijing to find Xiao Xian and bring her back," Yezi thought to himself. He glanced again at his father and Zhu Shijun, who were happily chatting inside the house. He couldn’t tell his father and Mama yet; he had to find out where Xiao Xian lived. The idea of leaving his native Dongnan Miao Village for a completely unknown place did not worry Yezi particularly.

Yezi’s uncle Yibar had told him that people outside were very bad, and they loved to deceive children. But he was Li Ye, taller than both his father and Yibar, the tallest and strongest in Dongnan Miao Village. He and his father had traveled across the three southwestern provinces, climbed the high Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and visited the bird-and-flower-filled Yunnan Lijiang, not to mention the mountainous Guizhou. In Yezi’s eyes, the three provinces of the Southwest were already the entire world.

Li Ye also didn’t plan to tell his Mama, who would definitely twist his ear and give him a good beating with a bamboo tube if she knew.

He had even thought of the route to escape. To avoid the gossiping peers in his village, he decided to take the bus from the entrance of Ge Village to go down the mountain, with over a thousand yuan he had earned from making silver throughout the Southwest, he would first go to Bai Family Ancient Town, then take a train from the town. He had heard that one could reach Beijing directly by train.

After planning everything, Yezi entered the Zhu Family’s house, and Li Quqi, having seen his son walk out upon hearing Xiao Xian’s news, knew his son must be missing her. His son, usually quite clever, would turn as mute as a piece of wood around Xiao Xian, just like he himself was around Yezi’s mother back then.

"Grandpa Zhu, I want to write a letter to Xiao Xian. There’s no telephone service in Miao Village, and it’s hard for me to contact her. Do you have her address? She hasn’t contacted me ... I really miss her," Yezi asked foolishly, touching his head, his ears turning red as he spoke.

"I don’t have her home address, her aunt doesn’t really want me to contact Xiao Xian too much, but I have her school’s address, which Xiao Xian told me over the phone," Zhu Shijun also guessed that the Zhuo Family didn’t like him contacting Xiao Xian too much and tried his best to call the Zhuo Family less. Xiao Xian also knew this and often called back from school.

Beijing Sacred Heart Middle School, Class 1 (3), Chaoyang District ... Yezi wrote down the address on a small piece of paper, keeping it close to his body.

After returning home, Yezi, without greeting his Mama, hid in his room, tightly closing the door.

Yezi’s mother, hearing the sounds of father and son returning home and noticing Yezi slipped away as soon as he came back, said, "What’s wrong, why did Yezi hide in his room as soon as he came back? It’s almost the New Year, we should prepare gifts for the Great Wizard and Master Shan Yin."

"He must be writing a letter to Xiao Xian. When we were at Mr. Zhu’s house just now, the child’s face was as tight as a drum." Yezi’s father thought, his son would turn sixteen next year and had finished middle school; it was time to decide whether to send him to high school or let him stay at home to help with silver making. If sent to high school, Yezi seemed not particularly willing. Since Xiao Xian left, Yezi’s studies had been sloppy, and his performance had also deteriorated greatly.

"No wonder, the boy has been close to Xiao Xian since childhood. For a few days after Xiao Xian left, every night I heard him tossing and turning in bed, he would eat a full bowl less," a mother is always more concerned than a father, Yezi’s mother actually understood her son’s emotions, but Xiao Xian was already gone to the city, dazzled by what she saw, how could she return to a mere mountain village.

"How about, after the New Year, I take Yezi to Beijing. The new session of the International Jewelry Fair is about to be held, and Beijing asked me to produce some new silver ornaments, I’ve agreed," Li Quqi could not bear to watch his son keep his worries to himself.

"That’s fine, it’s good to go have a look, and I’ll take care of the home while you are gone," Yezi’s mother felt somewhat reluctant to hear her son and husband would be away for a while, but she still agreed.

"Thank you for your hard work," Li Quqi was touched by his tender wife, and the couple cuddled together.

The conversation between Li Quqi and Yezi’s mother, Yezi, could no longer hear, locked in his room. He was packing his clothes and a roll of money saved up over the years.

The Fake Turkey "Little Pig" squatted on Li Ye’s bed, pecking at the feathers on his body.

"Everything is ready, except you," Yezi grabbed Little Pig and tucked him into his embrace. That afternoon, he would take a bus leaving Dongnan Miao Village to go and find Xiao Xian in Beijing.
