Chapter 348: Walking with her among the reeds

She didn't take him along this direction toward the big lake.

Next to it was a row of connected grass houses. As soon as he walked in, he smelled the faint fragrance of old trees.

There is also a row of redwood trees in front of the house, standing more than 20 meters high into the sky.

He raised his head and looked up at the sky, only a few red leaves less than the size of a baby's hand remained at the ends of the thin, long-veined branches.

After looking up for a long time, even the air I breathed in was more refreshing to my body than just now.

"I didn't see it, but you really like looking at trees?" Qiao Qiao said.

"I have always liked cedar trees in winter. Have you ever looked up for a long time? The branches and leaves of the trees are all glowing."

His eyes were fixed on the ordinary thick branch at the top, and the lines on the bark were so clearly presented in his mind.

"Most people feel this way. There used to be two jujube trees in front of my house. Later, they got too many insects, so my father cut them down. I used to love knitting clothes. When I’m tired, I just sit in front of the door and look outside.”

In her field of vision, there were obviously more clouds in the blue sky than before. The wind was blowing quickly and the clouds were floating in the distance.

Occasionally, when the sun shines through the cracks, it is still a bit dazzling.

"Have all these people gone to work in the fields? Why is there still no one in the middle of winter?"

The small courtyard surrounded by bamboo handles was only as high as his chest. Inside, there were three dirty little boys, about the same age, beating mud. About six or seven years old,

"What crops can be grown in such a cold weather now? We have all gone to raise crabs. In recent years, the city has become very fond of eating crabs. Many families here have dug crab ponds. But raising crabs is really fun. It’s not easy to make money, my uncle’s family had a lot of money last year,” she said.

"That's fine. It's better to find a way to do some business." He looked at the long red leaves of the fir trees scattered on the right side of the hoeed bushes.

"That's easy for you to say. The ten gold you gave me last time was still given to my mother that night by my brother and my father. Our family will never make that kind of money from farming in our lifetime."

The two of them walked around chatting, but the original small village had fallen behind them, and the chirping voices of the children were almost inaudible.

Looking into the distance from here, it is still foggy through a layer of gray, and I see another village in the distance.

"Where is your little brother's blind date? Show me." He asked.

"How can I see it now! Let me tell you, it's really far away. My parents and younger brother still took a bullock cart to get there. What I'm most worried about now is that it started raining before I even got there," she said. Looking at the obviously darkening sky,

The surrounding wild fields were filled with plowed soil, and there was no shelter from the wind and rain. She felt that it was obviously much colder than when she first went out.

"If you want to be cold, let's walk faster. Run over there. Do you know if there are any restaurants on the way? Look, I have so much money and I have no place to spend it."

What he said made him want to find a tavern and order a large table of food. It would be delicious for two people. It had been a long time since he had eaten a hot meal. At this time, his desire was greatly increased.

"When you go out alone, you are not afraid of encountering robbers on the road. A rich man should behave like a rich man. Mr. Shi in our town even rides in a sedan with several people around him when he goes out!"

She walked a little faster, stepping on the soil and grass mixed together on a piece of land, and she felt free and at ease at this moment.

She walked a little faster, and when she was several meters in front of him, she looked back at him.

"I know martial arts, and most people can't catch up with me." He said, looking at her from such a distance, and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.

What's the use of seeing such a tall, slim and beautiful girl? At least I feel very happy.

"Then walk faster! Ahead of you is Rongjiu Lake. It's so wide. You should like it very much when you see it," she said.

The reed flowers on the side of the road sometimes fall in a small isolated clump on the road, and more of them extend all the way to the front along the edges of the small ditches on both sides.

The wind blew through the soft branches and lingered in his ears, giving him an unreal sense of beauty.
