24. Night in the Lost Country.

We were chatting and laughing all the way, and before we knew it, we were almost at the entrance of the village. Michelle suddenly stopped and stood in front to block us.

"alright! You two just sent me here, I know I can go home!"

"What?"

"What, what, what! What's your size? You are so heartless and favor one thing over another! You go to see someone off, but your cousin is so worried about you that she travels so far to pick you up. Then you have the heart to let my cousin go home alone in the middle of the night?"

"But, then I——"

"What is but? My cousin is in the same group as us, and we go all the way from Wanzi to Wanzi. Are you also afraid of ghosts? Go quickly, you send your cousin home. I'll go home first"

"Wouldn't it be better for us to send our cousin off together?"

"I'm tired from walking, I'm waiting for you at home"

"snort! You just know how to be lazy!"

"Okay, you should go home early and rest. This road is full of bays. I often walk at night, so it’s okay!"

"oh!"

When I heard what Zhang Xiaolian said, I really planned to go home with Michelle. But as soon as I moved, Michelle kicked me hard again.

"You are really a bitch-hearted! I don’t know how to feel sorry for people! It’s a shame that your cousin is always so kind to you! In the middle of the night, are you not afraid of ghosts or people? What a pig brain!"

"OK OK! I send! I send! You go home first and remember to keep the door open!"

"Why stay? Seeing you like this, you don’t have the guts to come back alone. You can spend the night at your cousin’s house after you send her home! My cousin’s house is big and has land to live in!"

After Michelle finished speaking, she ran away without looking back. Zhang Xiaolian looked back at me:"You should go home too! I don’t need to send it! real!"

"fine! I send you! I'm not that timid either!"

"All right!"

Without Michelle's troubles, Zhang Xiaolian and I had no topic to talk about. We were silent all the way, extremely embarrassed. We walked in silence for a while. Zhang Xiaolian finally lost her temper.

"how? Are you still angry?"

"No! If I am angry, I am also angry at Michelle"

"Look at you, you didn’t even make a draft when you lied. It’s only been a few days since I was delegated, but the changes are really fast and big!"

"cousin! How can I not! You have wronged me too!"

"Have I still wronged you? Your sister Nannan told me in private. People say that the two of you can be regarded as childhood relatives. When you two were sent down together, your family specifically entrusted me to take good care of you."

"what! This - do you take this seriously? She and I have a good relationship as adults. When we were kids, we would make fun of each other for fun. This is completely different from having a baby kiss in the countryside. When we grow up, no one takes it seriously anymore. I was transferred to replace my second sister. Of course my second sister was very moved. My second sister and she are also good sisters, so I asked her to take care of me. This gave her a handle. She really didn't treat me as an outsider and could bully me as much as she wanted. Didn’t I die unjustly?"

"okay! The sisters you mentioned all know this, haven’t you noticed that they may really like you and use this as a cover-up?"

"This is impossible! She has been like this to me since I was a child, just like my second sister, treating me like a brat, a follower, and a punching bag. There was a period of time in which the two of us stopped talking to each other at all. If we hadn't been sent down together this time, we might have been strangers in this life. What do you like or dislike? Besides, she is older than me and so powerful. If I fall in love with her, I will marry her and spend the rest of my life with her. Then won’t I never get ahead? I'm not that stupid!"

"Yo! You are really thinking too far! This horoscope has been on my mind for a lifetime even before I wrote it!"

"Of course, if you want to say that this kind of love between men and women, of course you have to think about it for a lifetime!"

"Okay! Even if you are transferred to our place, Xue'er and I are outsiders, and we can't compare with your sister Nan Nan. Xue'er and I are actually concerned about you and worried about you, fearing that if you are not familiar with the countryside and don't understand it, you might accidentally cause some unnecessary trouble."

"cousin! Are you angry too? I have settled here, and we are a family now. I know you are all doing this for my own good! I don't compare you to her either. This is not the same thing at all and cannot be compared."

"It can't be compared, it can't be compared!"

I know I said the wrong thing again. I don't know why. Before I was transferred to the countryside, I never had any confidence in myself. But when I went to the countryside, I seemed to have become really stupid. I couldn't work well, and I often couldn't express myself clearly when I spoke.. I always get caught.

I am speechless. I am not willing to deal with it passively, so I just find another way, find a topic, and turn defense into offense. Countryside people are very taboo about talking about their own affairs, but Zhang Xiaolian has never been there. I have told you about her partner before, and when I thought of this, I suddenly felt excited.

"Well - cousin! I heard that my cousin's husband has already been promoted to the army. Will my cousin join the army soon?"

I felt Zhang Xiaolian suddenly trembled, stopped suddenly, turned around with a sullen face, and stared at me coldly. I was also frightened by her appearance. I shrank my neck and closed my eyes, waiting for her storm of venting and scolding.. However, I waited for a long time, but nothing happened. I vaguely heard the sound of turning around and leaving footsteps. I quickly opened my eyes and chased after him.

"cousin! cousin! Why are you angry again? I just keep hearing about it, just ask"

"What to ask? When I was sent to the countryside, I didn't learn anything else, but I learned how to gossip!"

"I—I—didn’t say anything. How can I call it gossip? I-I just treat you as a family member and care about you, isn’t this right?"

"Do I still want you to care? If you don't let us worry about you, then it's Amitabha's fault. Do you know that since the last time you said those nonsense to your uncle and aunt, our family has really regarded you as a family member and a relative. Every movement from you affects the hearts of the whole family. I am also suffering from you now, do you know?"

"But I - I still follow the instructions of my family, keep to myself honestly, and don't cause trouble."

"You are still making excuses, so how come you have never mentioned a word about you and your sister Nan Nan before?"

"There is nothing special between her and me, so why should I mention her for no reason?"

"Is there nothing special between you and her? You and her—according to our country rules, it’s a kiss."

"But the two of us - it's just a joke between adults, no one will take it seriously."

"I only believe it, if neither of you has let go, maybe it's just like you said, adults are just joking with each other for fun. But now, both of you have been delegated, and even delegated together. Wouldn’t this kind of joke before become a red string now?"

"cousin! You can rest assured, Yu Ruonan and I were born to be enemies. She is older and I am smaller, she is stronger and I am weaker. No matter how close we are, we will not have such feelings. At least it's impossible for me to kill you"

"Okay! Your nonsense has nothing to do with me. My sister is worried about Xue'er. Didn't you see that Xue'er behaved strangely today? It's not all the nonsense you told her before that made her listen and take it seriously. The same goes for you. If you don't know what's going on in your heart, you can't say it so harshly. Moreover, the two of you live under the same roof every day, and the days are still very long. Sometimes it is you and sometimes it is her. This is worrying and scary. How can you live this life?"

"cousin! You've really wronged me, Xue'er. I said I wanted to help her, but no matter what, I can't let her be like you drunkards. But I - I made it clear to her that I will treat her as my sister all my life and do my best to think about her."

"Stop telling me this useless nonsense. With your character, I don't think you will have much potential. If you are truly affectionate and righteous, I will take Xue'er away when you can return to the city one day. What else can you expect?"

"I didn’t say no to that either! I also said this was the worst case scenario. Then it's still too early and too far away. I can't really follow your country example and book a baby kiss with her, right?"

"That's not necessary, the baby prostitute is only useful in our countryside, and is just a joke to you educated youths from the city. In the end, it’s all about conscience!"

"Then I don’t know whether I have a conscience or whether I have a conscience. People do it themselves, but others say everything"

"OK OK! Are you saying that my sister has wronged you? I'll give you some help, sister. I'm not all angry with you today."

"Why am I angry with my sister?"

"Are you still angry with me? You clearly know that my sister is not that lucky or lucky, yet you still have to mention that heartless person to her."

"What? sister! you mean——"

Zhang Xiaolian suddenly fell into a trance, and she almost fell down. I was startled. I wanted to reach out to help her, but my hands and feet refused to obey me. Zhang Xiaolian still balanced her body by herself and slowly stood firm.

"alright! I'll just assume that what happened today was unintentional. I'll tell you clearly now. I've broken up with that person a long time ago. If he's already having sex, how can I still cause trouble like this to you? He knew that his sister wanted to lose face and live, so he didn't dare to make a big fuss with him."

"But! sister! and you——"

"This is fate, and I accept it. My sister, during this period of time, just wants to find any man and marry her off quickly before the matter spreads. Remember, you don’t even dare to talk about your sister’s affairs at home now. You should also be tight-lipped in front of your uncle and aunt. At least, you can save some face, some time, and a way for your sister to survive."

"No! sister! You--you tell me that bastard and I'll go find him."

"Are you going to find him? What are you doing with him?"

"I will destroy this black conscience and ungrateful thing!"

"Neuropathy! Take care of yourself and stop being boring! Everything is over. If you had not brought it up today, I would have almost forgotten about him. What I'm most worried about right now is you and Xue'er."

"Xue'er and I - we have nothing to do, what are you worried about?"

"Is this okay for you two? Confusingly making a pot of uncooked rice, it’s not right! It makes us adults worry about you all day long. You know, uncle and aunt can't even sleep right now!"

"what! Sister, if you say that, I can’t stand it anymore. Sister, tell me, whatever you want me to do now, I will listen to you"

"What do I want you to do? What can I ask you to do? You two little ones, things have already turned out like this, what can I do? Anyway, you said it yourself, Xue'er is your biological sister, then you - until that day comes, you have to treat her as your biological sister, and you are not allowed to bully her"

"That's right! I just insist on being brother and sister with her. We can't let the relationship become complicated or casual."

"Then you - will you stick to your promise if you promise her?"

"She is so stubborn, how dare I joke with her? What I say must be fulfilled, unless I die!"

Zhang Xiaolian froze on the spot again, staring at me quietly for a long time.

"All right! I believe you, sister! Stop worrying blindly! Hao Bin! Sister, I have told you everything I say in my heart today. From now on, you must also believe in sister. Sister and you are the closest, most trustworthy, best and best friends. Are you willing?"

"certainly! willing! It is!"

I suddenly felt excited, my heartbeat accelerated, my blood surged, and I even spoke with trembling.

"good! We just agreed!"

"Um!"

"Stop giving it away! Let's go back!"

"cousin——"

"fine! We live in the countryside and often walk at night, so we are not afraid of ghosts!"

"and you——"

"Let's go back!"

I didn't insist anymore. I really didn't dare to go home if it was too far.
