Chapter 23 Is the young lady’s name Xiang’er?
The little girl followed the direction of General Xue's finger and saw several big red dates on a tree.
I know Dahongzao Long Baoer.
Not only were they often seen in the sweet soup that Mrs. Xie cooked for her before, but there were also many dried fruits that she brought as snacks on the road.
But this was the first time she had seen it growing on a tree.
The little girl's attention was quickly drawn away.
Xue Lei was a little frustrated, but soon he had an idea, "Long Baoer, do you want big red dates? Brother, I'll pick them for you!"
Before General Xue could say anything, Xue Lei had already climbed up the tree again and easily picked off the big red dates.
Xue Lei rubbed the jujube on his body, and the layer of dust on it was removed, making it appear even more radiant and red.
But Xue Lei learned the lesson this time.
The persimmons are cold and my sister can’t eat them.
The dates are also cold, but they are small and can be warmed in the hand for my sister to eat!
"Long Bao'er, here it is."
The big red dates with a little residual warmth were stuffed into Long Baoer's hands.
"Wow, what a big date."
Looking at it from a distance, it seemed that it was not too small. When she actually got it in her hands, she realized that her little hands could hardly hold it. It was different from what she had eaten before.
Moreover, although the jujube dried on the tree and was wrinkled, after wiping away the dust on the surface,
It's red and translucent, really pretty.
General Xue was also puzzled, wondering where this breed came from and why it was so big.
Just as he was thinking about it, the little girl actually picked up the date and put it to his mouth, "Uncle, eat it."
General Xue was stunned, "Uncle won't eat it, Long Baoer will!"
"Uncle, eat it!" The little girl was very stubborn.
General Xue had no choice but to nibble a little bit of the skin, "It's so sweet and delicious, thank you Long Bao'er.
The little girl smiled sweetly and gave Xue Lei another date, "Brother, eat it too!"
Although Xue Lei disliked his father a little, he still took a small bite from the side.
The father and son each took one bite, and Zaozi suffered a little skin injury.
Long Baoer looked at the other dates in Xue Lei's hand and said, "Brother, give them the dates to eat too."
"Miss Long Baoer, we don't need it." The Chen family, his son and Hu Zi both shook their heads and said.
"I want something to eat!" The little girl said seriously.
Taoist Master Ma's heart moved.
"Split the dates and let's eat them quickly!"
General Xue also reacted and asked Xue Lei to divide a few dates.
There were not many dates on the tree, only four in total. The largest one was in Long Bao'er's hand, and Taoist Ma and Old Man Chen each took one of the remaining three, and each tore the dried dates into pieces and ate them.
The last one was eaten by the Xue family and his son.
"Long Baoer, we have all eaten, you should eat quickly too."
"Yeah!" The little girl took a big bite, but she didn't even bite the date core. "So sweet!"
Listening to the little girl's cheers of surprise, the heavy feeling in everyone's hearts seemed to dissipate a lot.
After walking for a while, the little girl finally finished eating the jujubes in her hand. General Xue was surprised to find that the core in the middle of the jujube was as red as agate, with faint patterns on it.
What kind of jujube is this?
Out of curiosity, General Xue secretly collected the date seeds.
At this moment, Old Man Chen stopped and pointed to a place not far away, "The children who died in the village will be buried there, and on the other side are the ancestral graves of each family in the village."
Taoist Master Ma looked into the distance for a moment and suddenly sneered.
Old Man Chen was stunned for a moment, "Master Dao, is there something wrong?"
"Let's not talk about this now!" Taoist Master Ma waved his hand, "Let's go to Ling Ai's grave first."
According to Old Man Chen, if you turn to the right, you will find the solitary graves in the village. There are not many, only about twenty graves. There are a few particularly new ones among them, and they should have been dead for a few years.
Old man Chen and Haizi and his son cleared the weeds on the tomb.
In fact, compared to other graves here, the grave of Old Man Chen's daughter is clean and tidy. It was obvious that someone had cleaned it not long ago.
Taoist Master Ma circled the area. After cleaning, Old Chen asked cleanly, "Taoist Master, look at this place. Is there anything wrong?"
Taoist Master Ma did not speak, but his expression darkened little by little.
The Chen family father and son looked at each other and realized something was wrong.
However, Long Baoer struggled to get out of General Xue's arms, ran to the tombstone wearing a small cloak, raised his head and said, "Hello, little sister!"
Everyone in front of the tomb was shocked, and their expressions changed.
General Xue made a gesture to run over, but the little girl turned around and waved her hand towards her uncle, "Uncle, don't move, little sister is scared!"
Now everyone was even more scared.
I feel so panicked!
How to break!
This thing is scary to see.
If you can't see it, it will be even more scary.
Huzi stood behind Taoist Master Ma with a swish of fright, "Tao, Taoist Master, what did you see?"
Taoist Master Ma coughed dryly and said, "You boy, you have some potential! I heard that you have been on the battlefield, why are you so timid?"
"Can it be the same?" Huzi's voice changed. "The enemies on the battlefield are all alive! Here, here are all dead."
"The enemy who was hacked to death is dead, isn't it? They are all over the ground, aren't you afraid?" Taoist Master Ma sneered.
"..." Huzi was stunned. What he said makes sense, but something doesn't feel right. What's going on? Not sure, listen again!
On the other side, Xue Lei was extremely anxious. He was afraid that Long Baoer was in danger, but Long Baoer wouldn't let them pass.
It looked like the little girl was standing in front of the tombstone over there, chatting with someone. But neither of them saw Mao.
Long Baoer was wrapped in a small cloak and responded seriously, "Oh, okay, I understand! Don't worry!"
Everyone behind: QWQ, we are not worried!
Finally, after Long Baoer finished communicating with the other party, he turned around and ran towards General Xue.
General Xue quickly stretched out his hand to catch it, and checked the little girl up and down, "Is Long Baoer okay?"
To be honest, when I saw Long Baoer communicating with the little mouse before, I was definitely not as panicked as I am now.
Some of these little animals are spiritual. Cats and dogs that have been raised for several years can also understand human speech, and people can guess their intentions by looking at their movements and sounds.
Although not as magical as Long Baoer.
But talking to a ghost is a bit much, isn’t it?
"Uncle, I'm fine!" After the little girl said that, she looked at Old Man Chen.
The Chen family's father and son had been looking at Long Baoer eagerly since just now, really wishing they were the ones they could see.
Seeing Long Baoer looking at them at this time, the father and son's hearts suddenly rose to their throats.
"Uncle, little brother. That little sister is about this tall." The little girl gestured with her toes, "It seems to be called Xiang'er, right?"
"Yes, my daughter's nickname is Xiang'er!" Old Man Chen burst into tears immediately, "How is she over there?"
"Not so good!" Long Baoer shook his head, "The young lady said it was so cold over there and she wanted new clothes."
The old man asked doubtfully, "But on the first day of October, I just burned her clothes and went there?"
