Chapter 207 Gaps in Teeth (2)

Now ask Ruan Jiaojiao: "My dear, where did those fruits in the kitchen come from?"

"Brother Xu brought them back from the front mountain." Ruan Jiaojiao answered, but she didn't tell the truth for fear of scaring Ruan Lin.

Hearing this, Ruan Lin didn't doubt it, but said with some worry: "Xiao Xu was not here all afternoon today. I'm afraid he went to the front mountain again. This child won't listen to anything. I don't know what he wants so much money for."

As soon as she finished speaking, footsteps came from behind her.

Xu Xu was standing at the door now, holding a bag in his hand. He walked from the backyard, through the kitchen and directly to the inner room, so the people in the main room didn't see him.

He was holding a large sack in his hand, which was bulging with stuff.

"I'm back." He said, looking at Ruan Jiaojiao eagerly.

"You kid..." Ruan Lin looked back and saw the bag he had put at his feet. She put down Ruan Jiaojiao and walked over, picked up the bag, and asked him in confusion: "What's in it?"

"Fruit tree."

"What?" Ruan Lin didn't hear clearly, and opened the sack, only to see that there were several half-meter-high saplings inside.

"Is this a fruit tree?" She asked Xu Xu in surprise.

Xu Xu nodded, still looking at Ruan Jiaojiao, as if waiting for her affirmation.

Ruan Lin looked at him getting dirty, and didn't know what to say. She told him to come out and eat quickly, and then went out with the bowl.

Xu Xu walked slowly to Ruan Jiaojiao and looked at her carefully: "Are you still angry?"

"..." Ruan Jiaojiao.

She was really not angry!

She just didn't know how to face him.

But seeing him looking at her eagerly, aggrieved and pitiful, she couldn't bear it, so she took his hand and said, "Brother Xu, go have dinner quickly, grandma left some food for you."

This represented her softened attitude, and Xu Xu should be happy.

But when he looked at her, his face changed drastically.

He didn't care that his hands were still dirty, holding her little face, his eyes full of hostility: "You are injured."

This was not a question, but an affirmative sentence, and his whole body exuded a cold breath. The little wolf standing at the door and about to come in was so scared that he turned his head and ran away, tripping and falling halfway, and fell like a wolf eating shit.

Ruan Jiaojiao's face also changed drastically, and then she remembered how ugly she was now. She exclaimed, pushed his hand away, covered her mouth, and only showed a pair of big watery eyes looking at him.

Covering her mouth and shaking her head: "Well, it's okay."

Xu Xu's face was still very ugly, and his hands on his side were clenched into fists, but because he didn't want to show his violent side in front of her, he lowered his eyelids, covered the anger in his eyes, and turned to leave the house.

Ruan Jiaojiao was a little worried and told him from behind: "Brother Xu, your meal is in the kitchen, remember to go and eat."

Xu Xu didn't answer.

He learned about what happened today from the Ruan brothers, and his face was so gloomy that water could drip out. Even Ruan Jie looked at it and felt a little sad, and didn't dare to speak for a while.

When it was just getting dark.

Xu Xu first went to the place where she fell. In the dark, he searched for a long time and found the tooth that rolled into the mud. He carefully wrapped it with a handkerchief and put it in his pocket. After that, he went to the front mountain again.

That night, Ruan Jiaojiao was sleeping in a daze. When she was half asleep and half awake, she heard a sharp cry from next door, as if someone was shouting for help. She tried to open her eyes in a daze, but the sound disappeared again.
