There is a farmhouse on the Road

Chapter 4

Get close

Because of his excitement, Shao Yitang, who was carrying Xu An, didn't feel tired at all. All he could think about was that he could finally find a place to live a normal life.

When he arrived at the base, Shao Yitang put Xu An outside the tent, ran to the car to find Yunnan Baiyao, sprayed it on Xu An's ankles, asked Xu An to rub it himself, and took out the pots and pans, intending to make some food to entertain Xu An.

Because the rice and flour were all eaten, Shao Yitang thought about it, killed the pheasant meat caught yesterday and cooked soup, and took out a bottle of Lao Gan Ma and some wild fruits. Lao Gan Ma was his treasured thing, so he ate less.

The food was not rich, but in the end of the world with a shortage of food and rice, he was already very generous!
Xu An sat aside and rubbed his feet, looking at the so-called "home" of this man, a strange shed that can only accommodate one person to sleep, and a huge metal cabinet for things...

It was really simple. Uncle Liu, the poorest in the village, lived in a thatched house, but this man actually built a "nest".

Looking at the man who was busy cooking, Xu An felt that although this man was a little rude, he was really kind. He helped him treat his injuries and cooked meat for him even though he was so poor. Although he was a little rude, he didn't seem like a bad person...

"Eat something first and rest for a while. I'll apply medicine on you again and send you back."

Shao Yitong handed the chopsticks and stainless steel bowl in his hand to Xu An and started chatting.

"By the way, where is this place? The signal is not good, and the navigation is useless."

In fact, this is also what Shao Yitong has been depressed about. If the navigation can be used, can he be trapped in the forest for so long?

"This is the back mountain of Xiaoxi Village!"

Xu An stared at the fragrant chicken soup and swallowed his saliva. The family only ate meat during the New Year and other festivals. Usually, they had brown rice, wild vegetables and noodles. Even the hunters in the mountains took the game to the town to sell it for money. Few people cooked it. I remember that the last time he ate meat was several months ago...

"Xiaoxi Village?" Shao Yitong was stunned and said he didn't know. However, it was a village. There were so many villages in the whole Z country. It was normal for him not to know.

"By the way, I have been in this forest for several months. I don't know what the situation is outside? Tell me."

"Say... what?" Xu An looked at Shao Yitong in confusion.
"National policy, has the leader said any policy to solve the problem?" Shao Yitong poured a bowl of chicken soup to Xu An and said, "By the way, is it safe here? When I came out, City C was already in chaos. Also, food, most of the countryside has food in stock, so there shouldn't be a shortage of food like in the city, right?" "Our village is very safe..." There are no bandits, and the villagers rarely fight. Xu An looked at Shao Yitong and said, "As for the food you mentioned, the weather is good this year, and every household has a bumper harvest, so there is no shortage of food." Recently, the vegetable porridge at home has obviously more brown rice. "..." Shao Yitong's eyes lit up. This Xiaoxi Village is not short of food and is still very safe. From the tone of the boy, the disaster has no effect on them at all, and there is a bumper harvest? Shao Yitong slapped his thigh. What a good place! It's simply the last piece of pure land in the world! Shao Yitong, who decided to stay in the last piece of pure land in the world, smiled more and more brilliantly, and continued to get close to Xu An with a thick face.

"Well, I've been talking for so long, but I still don't know your name..."

"My name is Xu An." Xu An held the stainless steel bowl and drank a mouthful of pheasant soup.

"Xu An, An An, it sounds so nice!"

"... You, you can just call me Xiao An"

His face turned red instantly, and Xu An lowered his head in shame. No one has ever called him like that.

Seeing Xu An blushing, Shao Yitong thought that this boy was so cute. Are all country kids so shy?

"Okay, An An!" Forget it, it's useless...

"That An An, how old are you... Why do you have such long hair? Your teacher didn't tell you?"

When I was in school, it was the Three Lights Policy, and my hair never exceeded half a finger's length.

"Seventeen... I have never been to a private school." Those who go to private schools are boys, and as a boy, he is not qualified to go to a private school.

"Never been to school?"

Shao Yitong stared at Xu An in surprise. He thought Xu An was only fifteen or sixteen years old, looking at his thin and small body, but he didn't expect that he was already seventeen years old.

But what was even more surprising was that Xu An had never been to school. No way, the country's compulsory education has been implemented for many years, and the lowest level of education of this generation in the country is probably elementary school graduates.

"Private schools don't accept boys and girls..." Seeing Shao Yitong's surprised and incredible face, Xu An added, not to mention that rural families don't have so much money to send their children to private schools. Many boys in the village have never been to private schools.

Private school? Wait, what is a private school?
Shao Yitong realized that this private school seemed to be an ancient school. Thinking of this, Shao Yitong suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked at Xu An again. He was a man with long hair, wearing a ragged cotton coat in ancient costume, and old cloth shoes covered with mud...

He swallowed tremblingly, and a thought flashed through his mind. He forced himself to calm down and put a piece of chicken in Xu An's bowl

"Come on, An An, eat first, I will take you back to your village later..."

Go and have a look, I must go and have a look, it shouldn't be what he thought...
