Chapter 772: Chapter 757: Staying Overnight
“Well, okay, if there’s anything you need help with in the future, feel free to ask . I’m always happy to help a beautiful lady out!”
Su Xuan said with a mischievous grin while Liu Ruobing gave him a big eye-roll. What could have been quite sentintal sohow beca so unsentintal when it ca out of his mouth.
By the ti evening arrived, Su Xuan and Liu Ruobing had already reached the shores of Coast City. At this mont, it was already late, and they found themselves in a rather remote rural area surrounded by fishern, Su Xuan remarked casually.
“It looks like we’ll have to find a local family to stay with for the night, this place seems a bit secluded, and at this hour, I guess there are no more buses!”
Liu Ruobing nodded and said,
“Well, okay, Su Xuan, let’s go to the village first and see if we can find soone to stay with for the night!”
Liu Ruobing said sowhat embarrassedly, aware that many people were looking at them, handso and beautiful, which inevitably made people think they were a couple.
When Su Xuan led Liu Ruobing into the village, he was also filled with many emotions, as the village seed very simple and rustic, which reminded him of his childhood life. Ti flies, and things and people change, all one can say is that in this life, many things are fleeting and once gone, they never co back.
After entering the village, Su Xuan found a house, knocked on the door, and said with a smile,
“Uncle, we are husband and wife who accidentally fell into the water and were carried here by the waves. Could we possibly stay here for the night?”
Su Xuan said, and it must be said, he had quite the shaless streak, claiming they were married. Liu Ruobing felt rather embarrassed and gave Su Xuan a fierce glare while pinching him on the waist.
However, she understood that Su Xuan did so because it would make it easier for the villagers to allow them to stay overnight.
“Oh, that’s the case. Well, co on in right away. We’re just having dinner!”
The old man seed quite hospitable and invited Su Xuan and Liu Ruobing into his house and even asked them to stay for dinner. Liu Ruobing felt a bit embarrassed, but Su Xuan, that cheeky fellow, didn’t seem embarrassed at all, acting as if he was right at ho.
This family consisted of four mbers, a couple and their two children, both seven or eight years old; the boy was quite handso, and the girl was very pretty. The dinner was lavish, and the children ate joyously, but Su Xuan noticed the mother’s furrowed brows and the tears swirling in her eyes as if she wanted to cry but was holding it back forcefully.
“Young man, don’t be shy. Eat as if you were at ho!”
The man forced a smile, seemingly quite troubled, and Su Xuan noticed several cigarette butts on the ground near the door. He didn’t say anything but took Liu Ruobing to the dining table to eat. Liu Ruobing, a very sensitive girl, felt curious as it seed this family might be facing so issues.
After the al, Su Xuan naturally beca friendly with the two children, giving them a gentle smile and hugging them. The children seed to really like Su Xuan too and enjoyed chatting with him.
At that mont, Liu Ruobing looked at Su Xuan, feeling a faint sense of envy. She envied Su Xuan’s personality, his natural ease with people, without being pretentious or affected. Seeing him having fun with the children made her quite happy; this man genuinely seed to be interesting.
“Big brother, in ‘Journey to the West,’ who do you like the most?”
Just then, the young boy asked innocently.
“Hmm, I like Zhu Bajie!”
Su Xuan said with a smile.
The two children giggled upon hearing Su Xuan liked Zhu Bajie, and the boy asked,
“Big brother, why do you like Zhu Bajie?”
“Well, because Zhu Bajie is always lucky. Look, among those who went to the Western Heaven to fetch the scriptures with Monk Tang, Zhu Bajie had the most comfortable life, slept a lot, ate a lot, even dared to flirt with beauties like Chang’e, and had a beautiful wife in Gao Village, shouldn’t we envy him?”
Su Xuan spoke nonchalantly while Liu Ruobing shot a disdainful glance at him and thought to herself, can’t you speak properly, especially in front of the children?
“Stone, who do you like then?”
Su Xuan asked with a smile, and Stone, looking at Su Xuan, suddenly showed a look of unwavering determination in his eyes, and said,
“I like Sun Wukong, because he is very powerful, he has the Seventy-two Transformations, can do anything, and all the demons fear him!”
As Stone finished speaking, his eyes reddened, while his mother hid to the side and started sobbing softly, and Stone’s sister jumped down from Su Xuan’s arms and went to her mother, gently holding her mother’s feet, and said,
“Mom, don’t cry, Ke isn’t afraid of the demons!”
In that mont, the young mother hugged her daughter tightly, sowhat becoming discomposed, and the man took a deep breath, looking up at the sky, helpless, truly helpless, while curiosity surged in Liu Ruobing’s heart. He had sensed that this family might be facing so troubles, but it wasn’t appropriate to probe too deeply into soone else’s family matters. However, seeing the little girl now, he felt they definitely had so issues.
Su Xuan stood up and casually said to Stone,
“Stone, how about big brother takes you to fight the demons?”
Su Xuan said with a smile, and Stone nodded vigorously, saying with determination,
“Yes, big brother, I will fight the demons with you!”
“Stone, you’re aweso. Let’s go, big brother will take you to fight the demons!”
As Su Xuan spoke, he was actually about to step out when the man quickly stopped him, looking very anxious,
“Young master, please don’t go out now. Not to hide it from you, but our village is sowhat strange. Please heed my advice!”
The middle-aged man hastily said, and Su Xuan smiled faintly, replying,
“Haha, elder brother, it’s okay, I’ll just take a look around, don’t worry!”
With that, Su Xuan just walked outside with Stone, and at that mont, there was not a single person on the streets of the entire village; every household had closed their doors and turned off the lights, even though it was just after six o’clock. Isn’t it a bit too early to be going to sleep?
“Co back, young man, co back quickly, it’s dangerous!”
