Chapter 2521 Understand the basic situation, no connection?
Ling Tian and Lin Qi stood in the house. They looked at each other and stopped what they were doing.
The woman at the door still pointed the knife at Ling Tian, her eyes filled with anger, but her hands trembled as she said, "Get out! We have no food left! Not a single drop! Get out! We don't welcome you! Get out!"
The woman roared loudly, as if she wanted to give herself the courage to face the two people in front of her.
Seeing this scene, Ling Tian said nothing, but felt confused. Then he turned his head and glanced at Lin Qi. He also caught a hint of doubt in Lin Qi's eyes.
After all, Ling Tian had just seen those children at the village entrance and the strange woman who suddenly appeared in front of him.
Each of them seemed to have a deep aversion to strangers, and kept repeating that there was no food at home and asked them to get out.
So Ling Tian was wondering, could it be that a stranger had appeared here before and snatched away their food, which was why they were so resistant and reacted so violently?
As soon as this thought came to mind, Ling Tian felt that this was a possibility more and more. Moreover, the person on the bed was most likely beaten by those who were said to have stolen the food. If this was true, the woman's reaction was very reasonable, and it was not surprising that the children were so resistant.
So Ling Tian thought about expressing his demands and making it clear that he would not hurt them.
Ling Tian was about to speak when the man on the bed whispered in an extremely weak voice, "Lili, they weren't trying to steal the food. They... ahem, saved me. Look, I'm bandaged. I have... ahem, I have strength!"
The man's words startled the woman called Lili at the door. Then she noticed that her husband on the bed did have some bandages on his body, and he didn't seem to be bleeding anymore.
Noticing this, Lili slowly put down the knife in her hand. However, when the tense emotions in her body suddenly released, she felt that her hands had no strength left, the knife fell to the ground, and Lili knelt down on the ground.
"Thank you!"
Lili's voice trembled slightly, and almost instantly, she burst into tears, covering her mouth with her hands, her shoulders shaking, looking extremely distressing.
Seeing this, Ling Tian took a deep breath, slowly stepped forward, and spoke softly, "We have no ill will towards you. We just wanted to understand some of the situation and wanted to come and talk with you. We hope you don't think we are bad people. And... we can give you food."
After he finished speaking, Ling Tian nodded to Lin Qi, who understood and once again took out some food from his backpack and placed it on the table.
When Lili looked up and saw the table full of food, she was stunned because she found that the other party actually gave her a piece of meat?
This is meat! I haven't eaten meat in over ten years, but the person in front of me actually gave it to me like this?!
At this moment, Lili realized she had misunderstood Ling Tian before, so she quickly lowered her head and said, "I'm sorry, I... I thought you were here to steal our food too. I'm sorry, please don't blame me. Thank you for saving my husband! Thank you!"
Lili's apology made Ling Tian sigh. He just shook his head, went over and slowly helped her up, then took her to sit on a chair beside him.
Lili sat down and began to calm down little by little. Her breathing slowly returned to normal. Then she looked at Ling Tian with tears in her eyes and said, "You...you said you wanted to talk to me? What do you want to talk to me about? You...you don't look like we're from this side, right?"
"And you were able to take out a whole piece of meat. It's obvious that you don't know the importance of meat here. If you want to stay here longer, then take it yourself. We can not eat meat, but we can't deprive you of food. Thank you!"
Ling Tian sensed something was amiss when these words came out. He looked at Lili and said, "Um... can I just call you Lili? I see we're about the same age. You guys should keep these foods. Since we've handed them over, we won't take them back."
"As for chatting, I still hope you will let..."
Ling Tian hesitated to speak, his eyes falling on the man on the bed.
Noticing his gaze, Lili nodded: "I forgot to introduce him, his name is Yuzhe, and he is the village chief of our Tiantian Village."
Tiantian Village?
Hearing this novel name, Ling Tian repeated it in his mind, making sure that he had not heard of the name of this village in the books he had read before, and nodded slightly.
After all, Ling Tian's ultimate goal is naturally Licheng. Some time ago, whether it was the villa that Jiujiu took him to or the book he owned, Ling Tian knew that he must not miss any information in it.
As long as he can find clues about Licheng, Ling Tian will definitely go to investigate quickly, just to find Licheng and then embark on the journey.
It’s a pity that Ling Tian had never heard of this so-called Tiantian Village. This means that this village either has no connection with Licheng, or it is... a newly established village that did not have time to appear in the book.
No matter which one it was, Ling Tian knew that he had to investigate it carefully. Now, Yuzhe was lying in bed, so he naturally had no way to state his purpose so directly. Therefore, the best way was to wait for Yuzhe to recover a little before asking him.
Ling Tian nodded and said, "My name is Ling Tian, and his name is Lin Qi. We are indeed here for some important matters, but since the village chief is injured, why don't we wait until he recovers a little? Lin Qi can also treat him."
Hearing Ling Tian's words, Lin Qi nodded in agreement. Lili looked at the two of them in surprise and said, "You...you are willing to treat my husband?"
"Well, that's certainly no problem. It's just right. We both get what we need. Don't take it too seriously."
Ling Tian smiled, glanced at Lin Qi, and asked him to go and check on Yuzhe's condition.
He sat on a chair on the side, staring at Yuzhe on the bed.
On the other hand, Lili, who was sitting next to her, felt more and more that it was inappropriate for her to sit there all the time, so she quickly stood up, picked up the food Ling Tian had brought out, and walked out of the room.
Time passed little by little, and when Lili came back again, she was holding a plate with a dish made from the meat.
Lili put the dish down and nodded to Ling Tian: "This... please try it. We are really used to it. It's okay~"
