399 Chapter 399-such a coincidence

Because they didnt wander around the city much, it wasnt dark when they arrived at the village.

Walking to the village entrance, an old man dressed in plain clothes was sitting by the stone monument at the village entrance to take a break. He looked like he was sick and was in some discomfort.

The mother and daughter had never seen this old man before. He was not from the village at the crossroad. Just as they were hesitating whether to ask him about the situation, the old man spoke.

May I ask if you have water in your car? can i have some water to drink? The old mans lips were dry, and his voice was hoa.r.s.e and weak.

old man, you wont have to go far to find someone. Cai Xiaolian stopped Gu Xin, who was about to reply.

Oh, really? Im not familiar with this place, so I dont know. He thought that he would have to walk a long way to enter the village. this lady, can you bring me along? The grandpa said with a smile.

Old grandpa, lets go back and get a young man to bring you some water! We dont have any water in the car. Gu Nian said.

Thank you very much, everyone! The grandpa nodded.

As the donkey cart headed towards the village, Gu Xin turned around and asked in confusion, Mother, sister, we still have water in the bamboo tube in our car, why dont we let him drink it?

cai xiaolian said,xinxin, although were not in a remote area, its still a little strange for an old man to suddenly appear here. Grandma Xiaos house was at the entrance of the village. She would ask ah Yuan to bring her some water later. This old man seems to be thirsty. If hes sick, it wont help even if we give him water to drink.

Gu Xin felt that this wasnt right, so she said, Mother, what if we meet on the way and not at the village entrance?

Cai Xiaolian said,if we meet on the way, then we cant talk to him. Although we call him Grandpa, he looks even younger than Grandpa, doesnt he? Hes an adult man, and hes asking us for help. Hes just thirsty, not injured or suffering from anything else. what if hes a bad guy?

Gu Xin pursed her lips and thought for a while, Mother, if it wasnt for the fact that this is the entrance to our village and brother Yuanyuans house is not far away, I think we should still give him a bucket of water. With father here, we can give him a ride. Us three, mother and daughter, really shouldnt give him a ride.

Cai Xiaolian patted Gu Xins head. Her daughter was still too kind!

The old mans eyes were not so pure. If he was really a sick old man, she would have given him water even if she didnt give him a ride.

The mother and daughter trio asked Lu Zheng to bring a large ladle of water over to see if the people were still there and ask if they were from the vicinity of the village.

Lu Yang went over with the water. The mother and daughter trio chatted with grandma Xiao in the yard, waiting for him to come back and see what was going on.

Not long after, Lu Zheng came back with an empty ladle.

How is it? Grandma Xiao asked.

hes just a pa.s.ser-by. he said that he came to zhou town to visit his relatives. he went out for a walk today and his old illness acted up again. he rested at the entrance of our village for a long time but didnt see anyone. lu yang said.

then you just left him there alone? Grandma Xiao asked.

It just so happened that his entourage arrived, so they brought him back to town. Lu Yang said.

Such a coincidence? gu nian laughed.

Yeah, its such a coincidence. Lu Zhengs expression did not change. by the way, niannian, I have a question about sweet potatoes. Ive planted a few in Houyang Valley. Can you come over and take a look?

gu nian was stunned. lu zheng was actually asking her a question, and it was about the sweet potato? Didnt his father explain it clearly to him before?
