Chapter 171 Changbai Mountains

Zhang Xingwang felt so sad that he could not even cry, and could only agree with him intermittently.

It was not until the end of get off work that Zhang Xingwang's stomach made a growling sound, which made Aunt Liu stop eating temporarily.

Seeing Aunt Liu busy preparing dinner, Zhang Xingwang seized the opportunity and quickly took out a roast duck from his cloth bag and handed it to Aunt Liu.

Before I set off, I went to Quanjude and spent a lot of money to order a few of them, just to prepare for the journey.

Seeing that the other party was stunned for a moment and didn't answer, he quickly said at a rapid speed:

"Aunt Liu, I brought this with great difficulty. Please don't refuse. After all, I still need your help. Don't bother yourself. I'll just eat outside and find a guesthouse to stay in. I'll come to see you later after I'm settled."

Aunt Liu was confused by Zhang Xingwang's speed of speech. Before she could understand, she heard a hearty female voice coming from outside the door:

"Why stay in a guesthouse? You can just stay at home. Why waste that money?"

Aunt Liu listened and nodded to Zhang Xingwang in approval, but did not respond to the sound outside the door. Her eyes were still fixed on the roast duck in her hands.

As the footsteps outside the door approached, a petite girl came in. She had a baby face, delicate features, and a fair and clean face. When she saw Zhang Xingwang, she squinted her big eyes and smiled at him, then picked up the bottle and poured herself some water and drank it.

Zhang Xingwang saw that this girl should be Aunt Liu's second daughter. After responding to her with a polite smile, he struck while the iron was hot and said to Aunt Liu who was still studying the roast duck:

"Aunt, it's not convenient for me to live in your house with you two women. It's better for me to stay in the guesthouse. I'll come over and chat with you after I'm settled."

As he said this, he prepared to walk out and quickly escape from this nagging Aunt Liu.

Who knew that just as he finished speaking, Aunt Liu hadn't reacted yet, and her arm was grabbed by the girl. After the girl grabbed Zhang Xingwang, she said in a bold voice that didn't match her body shape:

"Brother, you can just stay at my house, why stay in a guesthouse?"

He pointed at the kang in the outer room and said to Zhang Xingwang, who looked confused:

"Just stay there."

Zhang Xingwang just waved his hand and was about to say no, but the girl said impatiently:

"Why are you so hesitant, young man? Just stay here if I tell you to. Just listen to me."

Finally, Zhang Xingwang didn't run away, so Aunt Liu took the time to introduce her daughter Bai Xiaoya. Bai Xiaoya was drooling at the roast duck on the table, saying that she hadn't eaten it for many years.

According to Aunt Liu, her daughter has no memory of being a girl except when she goes to the toilet.

There's nothing I can do. I've been like a tomboy since I was young, and my personality is the outspoken type, and I've never changed.

Seeing Zhang Xingwang hesitate to speak, Aunt Liu waved her hand nonchalantly and said:

"It's okay. We have a lot of silly girls like this. Some even crawled into bed in the middle of the night before, but they will change after they get married."

Although Aunt Liu said so, Zhang Xingwang still saw some unnaturalness in her eyes. Anyway, he had no intention of living here, so he tactfully rejected the kindness of the mother and daughter.

As for the question of getting into bed, Bai Xiaoya frowned, looked at Zhang Xingwang with disdain and said:

"Mom, let's just forget about him. He's not manly at all. How can I like him?"

Aunt Liu also said casually that the kang in the outer room had not been heated for a long time, and if they wanted to remove the moisture, they would not keep it.

She would come over tomorrow to introduce him to the neighbors. Anyway, she had to report Zhang Xingwang's visit to the street office, and she also asked about his condition.

Then the mother and daughter looked at Zhang Xingwang with regret, and Aunt Liu casually said:

"Xiao Wang said that you are a disaster that has plagued the country for thousands of years. It's okay. Think positively about it."

…………

Afterwards, they had a roast duck dinner together, and the mother and daughter ate until their mouths were full of oil. After listening to Aunt Liu's nagging for a long time, and watching the mother and daughter holding their stomachs with embarrassed faces for a while, Zhang Xingwang quickly said goodbye and went to the guesthouse.

Bai Xiaoya was afraid that he didn't know the way, so she asked him to give him a ride later. Zhang Xingwang quickly declined her kindness, thinking that it was getting dark, and if you give me a ride, I have to give you a ride, which would be endless. He found the guesthouse according to Aunt Liu's directions, checked in and went to sleep.

The next day, he asked the aunt at the guesthouse and was told it was a day off, so Zhang Xingwang slept in and rushed to Aunt Liu's house before lunch. He knocked on the door and entered the house, carrying the multi-grain steamed buns and two dishes, one meat and one vegetable, that he had packed the night before.

The mother and daughter were cooking at the moment. Aunt Liu blamed him by saying that she had saved food for him in the morning. She had asked the second girl to call him to come for dinner, but the girl couldn't be woken up and slept until almost ten o'clock.

After lunch, Aunt Liu asked Zhang Xingwang:

"Xiao Zhang, your Aunt Wang doesn't know either. Where do you want to go for medical treatment when you come to our place?"

"Well, I want to try Nehe."

After hearing this, Aunt Liu said that she could issue letters of introduction to people within the province, but she was unable to help people outside the province.

After hearing this, Zhang Xingwang felt that his hunting plan was basically dead. He was thinking about what to do next, and if it didn't work out, he would just go back to being a trader.

Aunt Liu looked at his sad face and whispered to him:

"Xiao Zhang, you came to us to see a doctor for your illness, right? How about this, you go to our hometown and let Third Aunt take a look at you."

Zhang Xingwang didn't understand the first half of the sentence, but he did understand the second half. However, what Aunt Liu said had nothing to do with what he wanted to do, and he had no interest in Third Aunt at all.

Aunt Liu now thought about what Director Wang had vaguely said to her on the phone, and thought that the young man had come from so far away, probably with some hope.

Although we have fought against all kinds of monsters and demons these days, my hometown is remote and there is still a capable man in the village. The older generation also believes in this and nothing has changed in just a few years. People still have to offer sacrifices to the mountain and hunt according to the rules when they go up the mountain.

Anyway, I felt that it was of no use, so I thought of recommending it to him and letting him try it. If it doesn't work, I'll just give up.

Seeing Zhang Xingwang's dissatisfaction, he could only advise:

"I understand your feelings, but I really can't issue you a letter of introduction to leave the province. Anyway, you can go there or not. If you can't make it, ask the young man in the village to take you for a stroll on the mountain.

Just treat it as a way to relax. Besides, the place you want to go is not reliable at all. I was shivering with cold when I went there, and you will probably be too cold to even leave the house if you go there."

Zhang Xingwang immediately became excited when he heard Shanshang, and asked:

"Aunt Liu, where is your hometown? Is it far from the mountains?"

"It's in Erdaotun, next to the Changbai Mountains."

"That's great. I like Changbai Mountain the most. When can I go to see your Third Aunt?"

Aunt Liu looked at Zhang Xingwang who was startled and confused, and felt that this kid was indeed a little mentally ill. After thinking for a while, she replied:

"I'll have the letter of introduction ready in two days. I'll write you a letter when it's due."

Bai Xiaoya, who was still arguing with Mantou, immediately expressed her willingness to go with Zhang Xingwang when she heard this, saying that she had not been back to the village for many years and it was a good opportunity for her to have Zhang Xingwang as a companion, which would also save her the trouble of writing a letter.

Aunt Liu looked at them and said with a smile:

"Xiao Ya, it will be much easier to get a letter of introduction if you go there. I will tell the director that Xiao Zhang is here for a blind date with you, and the letter of introduction for you two to return to the village will definitely be approved."
