Elliot Huang and the Whisper of Fate Chapter 9

Elliot Huang's mouth was locked, and the faint smell of tobacco rushed into his throat. He was stunned, with his eyes open.

Rowan Li's breathing became more and more chaotic. He moved his palm down from the back of the young man's head, pressed the back of his neck and rubbed it a few times. Then he turned to the front, held the young man's face with both hands and stroked it.

The pain on the back of Elliot Huang's head had not subsided, and his face hurt again. He sobbed and said, "Brother... please stop touching me... I hurt..."

The voice in his ear was weak, crying for mercy. Rowan Li suddenly raised his eyelids and met the young man's tearful eyes. He hurriedly withdrew from the young man's mouth, stood up and ran out.

Elliot Huang wiped his mouth, wiped away the tears that had fallen down, sat down on the ground with a pale face, and inhaled again and again, not daring to touch the big bump on the back of his head.

The smell of cigarette smoke in his mouth could not be dissipated, "Mr. System, my first K!ss is gone."

Last time, he just bumped his teeth and made his mouth bleed. This time, it was a real K!ss. Rowan Li also stuck out his tongue. It was different in nature.

The system said, "Mr. Huang, this is not your body."

Elliot Huang had different opinions on this answer, "The soul is myself. When Rowan Li K!ssed me, I was not the third party, I was another party involved."

The system disappeared for a few moments, "Mr. Huang, I'll check it out for you. This is also Rowan Li's first K!ss."

Elliot Huang said in surprise, "No way, he has married two wives."

The system said, "It doesn't matter."

Elliot Huang asked, "Why?"

The system said, "Dead."

Yellow slip, ...

I thought they had been together as a couple for a period of time before they died, and had intimate behaviors, but it turns out they weren’t? What's going on? They couldn't be frightened to death just because they accidentally discovered that Rowan Li was a senior citizen, right?

Huang Shan asked about the cause of death, and the system threw out the official answer. It seemed that he had to investigate elsewhere. I wonder if Zhang Yingxiong could dig up some information.

Not long after, the doctor came out of the back room and asked, "Where is Mr. Rowan Li?"

Elliot Huang didn't turn around, "I don't know."

The doctor said, "The total cost of the medicine is seven dollars and eighty-five cents."

Elliot Huang only had two cents in his pocket and could do nothing.

After half an hour, Rowan Li came back from the pond. The front of his coat was wet, and his hair was wet.

Elliot Huang was still sitting on the ground, his face was white, and there was cold sweat on his forehead.

Rowan Li said naa-naa, "I'm sorry."

Hearing this, Elliot Huang raised his head to look. The man looked embarrassed and said, "The medicine costs seven and eighty-five cents."

Rowan Li took out a handful of paper bills from his trousers pocket and counted them one to two cents and one to two cents. Because he was so upset, he couldn't remember after counting, so he simply took out a ten-dollar note and gave it to the doctor.

He stuffed the change back into his pocket and looked at the door, but the young man was gone.

Rowan Li pinched the bridge of his nose and left. It was very embarrassing to face him now. At that time, he was so crazy that he would do such a thing in a blank space.

On the way back to the village, Isla Wu walked instead of taking a cart.

Rowan Li didn't force him to persuade him. He pulled the cart and walked beside him, "Winter told me."

Isla Wu was stunned, her eyes drooped, and all the blood on her face was gone, "Brother, don't tell mom."

Rowan Li said, "Okay, I won't tell."

Isla Wu put the broken hair on her cheek behind her ear and said softly, "Just pretend this never happened. My head was broken. If anyone asks, I will tell you so. I won't let anyone gossip about my family." "

Silas He's parents knew that she would not tell the truth because no one would believe her if she told her. Instead, she would have the opportunity to throw dirty water on others.

Frowning, Rowan Li didn't interfere much in the end. He just said, "Dagui is gone. You are free and can live the life you want. Mom will understand."

Isla Wu shook her head, "Mom can't live without people."

Rowan Li said, "If it's because of mom's health, you don't have to be like this. You are still young and have a long way to go. You should make plans for yourself in advance. Mom won't blame you, and I don't think Dagui will either. "

Isla Wu said quickly, "Brother, that's not what I meant."

She bit her lip, "I mean, since Dagui is gone, I should take good care of my mother and let her enjoy her old age."

Rowan Li glanced at the young woman from the corner of his eye. Her black hair was tucked behind her ears, revealing her fair ears. Her side face was also white, she was of average length, and her temperament was quiet and gentle. He said, "Isla Wu, you have someone you like." , just tell me, Mom, I will handle it."

Isla Wu hesitated, "Brother, I..."

In the field next to them, someone was draining water and plowing the field to plant rice seedlings in a hurry. They shouted hello from a short distance away, asked Rowan Li and Isla Wu where they were coming back from, and asked Isla Wu why her forehead was broken.

Rowan Li responded several times and asked Isla Wu, "What did you just say?"

"Thanks to winter this time."

Isla Wu walked away with her eyes lowered, "Brother, can you say hello to him for me and tell him not to tell anyone about this matter?"

The young man's tearful eyes appeared in Rowan Li's mind. He wanted to refuse and let Isla Wu speak on her own. The words rolled around on the tip of his tongue and then he swallowed, "Okay."

There were only a few people in the village, so no matter how big the issue was, it would spread a lot.

Isla Wu's forehead was broken, and there was a lot of blood on her clothes. Even a child playing in mud would know this.

In the house, Wang Yuemei was cutting honeysuckle branches and throwing beautiful ones into the jar, "You can fall down whenever you walk. The more you live, the better you will go back."

Isla Wu said she didn't pay attention.

Wang Yuemei picked at the flower branches and threw away all the twisted ones, "Did the old hen go to Silas He's house?"

Isla Wu said, "Sent it away."

Wang Yuemei asked Silas He about his health, "I heard that he was too sick to get out of bed. Is this true?"

Isla Wu couldn't tell clearly.

Wang Yuemei glanced at Isla Wu's gown. She had changed it and it was not the one she wore when going out. "Come here."

Isla Wu did as she was told.

Wang Yuemei added, "Squat down a little and Mom will pull out a white hair for you."

Isla Wu then bent her back.

Wang Yuemei's eyes were venomous, and she immediately caught a few traces on Isla Wu's neck. She was a New Year's Eve person, so how could she not know how she got it there?

Isla Wu asked, "Mom, are you okay?"

Wang Yuemei plucked out Isla Wu's black hair at will, pulled out a small handful, and said, "Go and feed the chickens, and then fill the water tank with water."

Isla Wu's scalp ached and she didn't understand why her mother-in-law's expression suddenly changed.

As soon as she left, Rowan Li came in with her hind legs and said, "Mom, Isla Wu has a wound on her head. Just let her lie down and I'll do the fetching of water and feeding the chickens."

"The rice in that big bed will be enough for you." Wang Yuemei's voice was directed towards the door, "Isn't it just a little bit of skin scratching? Why are you so delicate? Your mother, when I was pregnant with you, I went to work in the fields with a big belly, and the sickle made a big gash in my hand, but I just kept doing it. "

Isla Wu outside the house pursed her lips and went to work.

In the afternoon, Elliot Huang squatted in the corner for a while. There was nothing he could do. He went to Rowan Li to help fill the hole.

Rowan Li used a wooden shovel to spread the rice and wheat on the rice bed. A gust of wind blew by, and the shriveled wheat husks and wheat bran were blown away. The remaining golden wheat grains fell one after another, piled one on top of another.

Elliot Huang saw beads of sweat rolling down the man's wheat-colored arms. With each rise and fall of the wooden spade, the hard muscles relaxed, and he smelled the smell of barbecue again.

Rowan Li lifted up his coat to wipe his sweat, turned sideways to pile wheat grains, and caught a glimpse of the young man's figure. He clenched the wooden shovel in his hand instantly, and his movements became stiff.

Elliot Huang walked over and said, "Brother, fill in my hole."

Rowan Li's face was as red as fire, "I can't fill it up."

Why are you blushing? Elliot Huang's eyes were strange and he frowned, "That's not what you said this morning."

Rowan Li got angry for no reason, turned around and yelled, "You B!tch, I can't fill it if I say it can't be filled. Find someone else to fill it for you!"

Elliot Huang was not angry, "Oh, forget it, I'll find someone else."

Listening to the young man's footsteps, Rowan Li threw the wooden shovel onto the pile of wheat and said, "Wait, I will fill the hole for you!"

After a while, Rowan Li carried a mud bucket to Elliot Huang's courtyard wall, mixed the water and soil together, put in the wheat bran, continued stirring, dug up with a shovel and filled the wall.

"Haven't you ever worked on a construction site? You don't know how to do this?"

Elliot Huang squatted beside him and studied, "Cement is used to build houses at the construction site."

"It's still not a reason." Rowan Li was silent for a while and asked, "Has the bag on your head gone?"

Elliot Huang said no.

Rowan Li looked at the back of Elliot Huang's head and said, "Don't press it when you sleep at night."

Elliot Huang looked at Rowan Li.

Rowan Li was also looking at him. He was stunned for a few seconds and then said disgustedly, "Go away, don't squat next to me to block the wind, it's too hot!"

Elliot Huang twitched his mouth and went back to the house.

Rowan Li's breathing became smoother as he could no longer smell the young man's breath. He quickly filled the hole with quick hands and feet, "Winter, I'm back."

Elliot Huang's voice came from the room, "Okay."

Rowan Li took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, glanced at the dirt on his hand, sighed and shook his head, "What is this?"

He clicked his tongue angrily, looking at the young man, he didn't care at all about what happened in that short time in the morning. He was so panicked that he even dropped the bowl during lunch like an idiot.

Elliot Huang cared, but didn't say it out loud to avoid embarrassment to both of them.

In the evening, an old beggar came door-to-door to beg for food. He was carrying a cloth bag, put his two withered hands together in a begging posture, and said: Good people will be rewarded, and Bodhisattvas will bless you. .

After many people in the village saw her, they quickly closed their doors and pretended that they were not at home.

Elliot Huang picked up a large handful of leeks at the door and pinched off the yellow ones. When he saw the beggar, he went to the kitchen rice vat and dug a porcelain basin of rice.

Meredith Chen in the courtyard yelled, "What are you doing in winter? A half-porcelain basin will do!"

Elliot Huang silently poured half of it back into the rice vat and gave the rest to the beggars.

A few grains of rice fell on the ground, and the beggar squatted down, picked them up one by one, and put them back into the bag, saying thank you to Elliot Huang.

Elliot Huang watched the beggar go to the next house. When he saw the door was closed, he left in disappointment.

His eyes followed the beggar all the way until he arrived at Rowan Li's house. He looked satisfied when he left. After taking two steps, he opened the bag and took a look. He must have got a lot of food.

Rowan Li gave the beggar a porcelain basin of rice and turned around to see Elliot Huang, who was also standing at the door.

Across the chickens, ducks and geese walking on the way home, the two people's eyes met and then strayed away.

Elliot Huang sighed. He originally expected to ask Rowan Li to sleep in his nest and fan him. He would have the same sleep tonight as last night. Rowan Li wouldn't do what happened in the morning. Climb into his bed easily.

Meredith Chen put some leeks in a basket and took them to Rowan Li's house. She came back and said, "We are going to the city next month."

Elliot Huang said.

In the memory of the original owner, the strong men in the village would go to the city from time to time, and everyone would bring various things to sell, such as poultry, eels, snakes, pheasants, grains, etc. How much could they cost? A few dollars, and then use that money to buy necessary things, such as buying two new clothes for the children, buying a silk scarf for the wife, etc.

Meredith Chen said, "When my mother went to Rowan Li's house, she saw Biaozi and Dahu Dalong there. They said that people in the city now like to eat snake meat, and a snake can be sold for a good price. They discussed going to Zaoqingshan Catching the snake."

Elliot Huang had no interest in catching snakes. If he had time, he might as well paint rural fields, villages, mountains, forests and ponds.

Meredith Chen wiped the pot with a rag and said, "In winter, you go too."

Elliot Huang's eyelids twitched and he leaned against the stove and said, "Mom, I'm going. You can't raise the rice and wheat by yourself."

"You won't go until tomorrow, and you will be busy in the next two days." Meredith Chen said, "You will only go for three or four days and then come back. Mom has made an agreement with Rowan Li, and he will take you with him."

Elliot Huang, ... Three or four days? How do you live in the mountains?

The day before going to Zaoqingshan, Elliot Huang found Rowan Li in the west of the village. He had been avoiding him for the past two days, "Brother, what time will we set off tomorrow morning?"

Rowan Li didn't read the yellow slip and said he would leave at two or three o'clock. "You got up late, but no one is waiting for you."

Two or three o'clock? Elliot Huang's brows were furrowed. He didn't even get up. How could he get up? "Brother, sleep with me. Call me when you get up."

Rowan Li immediately refused, "No."

Elliot Huang thought for a while and said, "Then I'll let the hero sleep with me."

Rowan Li said casually and strode away. When he reached the corner, he turned back with a handsome face and said, "Keep the door open for me tonight!"
