Chapter 243 The same face
Xu Le opened his eyes wide and looked at the woman in front of him in disbelief. Ordinary people would not consider these things for others. There were also elders who liked Xiao Ming before, at most they praised him for his cuteness. Only this woman was really considering Xiao Ming and was careful like Xiao Ming's mother.
"Thank you." Xu Le didn't know what to say for a moment.
The woman was saliva, as if trying to suppress the rushing emotions in her heart. She nodded, "It's nothing. This child must protect him and not let him get hurt. There are too many bad people."
"Auntie, can you play with me?" Xiao Ming still pulled the woman's arm and whispered.
His voice was soft and sweet, like marshmallows.
The woman shook her head instinctively, and she gently pushed Xiao Ming's arm away and prepared to leave cruelly. However, the collapsed atrium completely lost to Xiao Ming's sad eyes.
"Okay, what do you want to play?" the woman sighed, looked at Xiao Ming with her head tilted, and said softly.
She really couldn't resist Xiao Ming's sad eyes. Even if she endured the exclusion of the villagers, it was much better than making Xiao Ming cry.
"I want to go to the village and take a walk, and there are also mountains. I am very interested in the medicine field." Xiao Ming smiled mischievously.
The sunlight shone directly down and was imprinted in the golden eyes, as if a layer of golden gray was crawling.
"Xiao Ming, what are you doing?" Xu Le's face changed. He knew that women were absolutely unwilling to do this. After all, the people in this village were excluding foreign personnel. If he did this, wouldn't it be like he was against the entire village?
"I didn't do anything!" Xiao Ming pouted and continued to look at the aunt, "Can you do it, aunt."
Xu Le looked at the aunt with a little apology, his face full of embarrassment, and he leaned over slightly. "Sorry, aunt, don't listen to Xiao Ming. Go and do your own business. I'll take Xiao Ming around."
After saying that, he pulled Xiao Ming and prepared to walk forward. He didn't expect that Xiao Ming would take the initiative to say hello to a villager and be so close. Despite his good attitude, these villagers have never liked to deal with outsiders.
"No, big brother, I always play with you, and I don't want to do it this time." Xiao Ming shook his head, still unwilling to give up and wanted to break free.
"Don't always think about bothering others, just trouble me. You kid, be obedient and don't act like this, do you know?" Xu Le blushed and tried to move forward, regardless of whether Xiao Ming liked it or not.
Xiao Ming was pulled out of no way. After all, he was still a child and his strength was absolutely impossible to compare with Xu Le. He turned around and looked at the aunt pitifully.
"This young man! Wait." The woman couldn't stand Xiao Ming's unhappy look and shouted quickly, "Young man, young man, I can take him there, you don't need to force him away!"
She quickly walked forward, walked to Xu Le, and stopped Xu Le.
"But... the people in this village... Aunt, you don't need to sacrifice so much for a child you don't know." Xu Le shook his head. He vaguely realized that this village favors boys over girls and has a low status in women. If he just takes Xiao Ming out to play like this, it will be of no benefit to women, but will make people gossip secretly.
"No, this is my own decision. I can't blame you if I regret it." The woman was very determined, which made Xu Le stunned.
In his impression, this woman shared a lot of hatred with the villagers, and almost everything was dominated by the opinions of the villagers.
Unexpectedly, this woman turned against each other, which was incredible. However, from the beginning, the woman seemed to have a strange look at Xiao Ming. He could not tell the appearance of that kind of look, but it was definitely not ordinary.
"Okay. Thank you aunt." Xu Le smiled at the woman. He let go of Xiaole's hand. Xiaole quickly ran to the woman. The two of them were in a row, and Xu Le followed closely behind.
Although the woman did not seem to be malicious, he still had the obligation to take care of Xiao Ming at any time.
They circled around the village, and a group of villagers rubbed their eyes, as if they couldn't believe that Aunt Yang, who had always been the most disgusting outsiders, actually pulled a child around.
"What's going on? Aunt Yang obviously hates outsiders the most. She feels that outsiders have invaded our village!" A villager was shocked.
"Oh, why? Didn't you find that the facial features of this child with different eyes are very similar to those of the child who died of illness? Although I have forgotten the appearance of the child after several years, it is really very similar, as if it suddenly brings memories." Another villager said quickly.
He once had a crush on this woman. At that time, she had snow-white skin, like snow on the top of the deep winter mountain. Her facial features were delicate, and no matter how simple the clothes she wore, she could not block his elegance.
"So that's it. I remembered it too. It's true that it looks a bit similar. Alas, Aunt Yang is also a miserable person, so it can't be blamed for him. At a young age, he will certainly be willing but not capable of taking care of his children alone."
The villagers' discussions came into Xu Le's ears without falling, and then evaporated and rose into his mind.
He now understands why Aunt Yang looked at Xiao Ming so differently, that was the mother's eyes when she looked at her children.
Thinking of this, when he was young, his mother often looked at him with this kind of eyes.
Thinking of his childhood, his eyes were creeping in a layer of mist, and his eyes suddenly became blurred.
"Auntie, can I ask you? Why do people in this village feel that they are not that enthusiastic? Actually, I have been wanting to come and play these days, but my elder brother doesn't allow me to come, for fear that I will be hurt." Xiao Mingtian really looked at Aunt Yang and said softly.
Xu Le couldn't help but feel a little moved. He knew that Xiao Ming knew everything, but it was so easy to be too young, so he could only say it in a naive tone.
"This... he doesn't allow you to come, it's actually correct. You are indeed not suitable for coming here." Aunt Yang glanced at Xu Le lightly, "This village is a cursed village."
"What? Being cursed? I'm even more interested. Aunt Yang, you are so kind to me, can you tell me how you were cursed?" Xiao Ming looked at Aunt Yang curiously, very curious about it.
Aunt Yang was stunned. The reason why he said this was because he was afraid that Xiao Ming would keep asking questions, so he wanted to scare Xiao Ming. He didn't expect that Xiao Ming was a newborn calf and was completely fearless.
"This... I don't know how to tell you. Anyway, children should not listen to these things, as they will have a bad impact on their psychology." Aunt Yang coughed and looked at Xu Le, as if she was asking for help from Xu Le.
Xu Le quickly noticed Aunt Yang's gaze and nodded, "Yes, Xiao Ming, don't be like this and want to know so much. Anyway, just remember, we will only hope you will be well."
Xiao Ming sighed, "Brother, you still treat me as a child."
"You are a child!" Xu Le smiled and touched Xiao Ming's head.
"Aunt Yang, aren't you afraid of being told by the villagers when you come out like this?" Xu Le glanced at Aunt Yang, "As far as I know, anyone who comes into contact with people outside will be told, right?"
"No, what's so scary about this?" Aunt Yang shook her head, looking like she didn't feel anything about it.
"Then why do you escape like that when you see me!" Xu Le couldn't help asking, "I came into the village as if I treated me as an enemy. There was always a reason!"
He believed that Aunt Chen's comments before were the reason why the village was so unwelcoming to outsiders.
"This..." Aunt Yang was stunned. He didn't expect Xu Le to ask so directly, and scratched his head embarrassedly.
"Forget it, Aunt Yang, I won't make things difficult for you. If you really say it, it may be bad for you." Xu Le tried to squeeze out a smile.
As the saying goes, do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you. Since Aunt Yang is so unwilling to say this, he cannot force others to do anything to you.
"Thank you for being considerate to me. Anyway, I remind you that it is best not to come to this village in the future. The village is really not suitable for outsiders. It will hurt you and also hurt me." Aunt Yang shook her head and sighed.
He doesn't want to think of those pasts anymore.
Xu Le became more and more curious about what happened and why did Aunt Yang sigh like this?
This time, he became even more curious.
"Why, aunt, is it because the village was deceived by outsiders before?" Xiao Ming stared at Aunt Yang with a naive look on his face.
Aunt Yang almost blurted out, "How could you know..."
Realizing that he had lost his composure, he quickly closed his mouth.
Xu Le looked at the embarrassed Aunt Yang and began to understand in his heart. It was probably because someone had done something before that made the people in the village scared, so he chose not to contact outsiders anymore.
From this point of view, the villagers who committed suicide may not be because of this rumor. But because this outsider did an excessive thing and apologized for death.
But he didn't understand what this outsider did wrong? It shouldn't be a trivial matter depending on the attitude of the villagers. Otherwise, this attitude would never be used.
"Aunt Yang, I know that your village may have suffered considerable losses because of outsiders, so you do not trust outsiders." Xu Le sighed, "But not everyone is like this. There are indeed many bad people in this world, and there must be many good people. You can't just look at the bad side."
Aunt Yang nodded and did not reject Xu Le's words, "I know, what you said is not wrong, but knowing people but not your heart. Who knows whether you are good or bad? Our villagers are very lazy and don't want to tell the difference. Instead of doing this, it's better not to contact anyone and not be hurt."
