Cute, you are wild

Chapter 169

"The weather is not very good today, let's go back early." Jiang Che pulled her into the elevator.

She said 'oh', took out her mobile phone and checked the weather conditions, it was indeed not so good as Jiang Che said, it was reported that there was rain, and now the sky is very cloudy.

"Or, let's not go."

The mountain road is not easy to walk, if it rains heavily, it will be bad if there is an accident.

"Today is your parents' death day, why not go."

Jiang Che insisted that she couldn't say anything more.

After getting out of the elevator, she followed Jiang Che out and got into the car. They first went to buy two bundles of incense and some paper money, and had breakfast on the way. At nine o'clock, they officially set off.

The car drove out of the city and turned into the road back home.

Halfway down the road, the rain had already started pattering down, but fortunately it was light rain, which had little effect.

Jiang Che was afraid that she would be cold, so he turned on the heater in the car.

Because of the rain, the temperature in Jiangbei suddenly dropped.

Qiao Ai stared at the foggy sky outside the car window, feeling drowsy and sleepy, but she couldn't sleep, Jiang Che didn't know the way when he came here for the first time, her task was to show Jiang Che the way.

"Brother, turn left ahead." After passing the first fork in the road, she yawned lazily.

Jiang Che turned his head and glanced at her, and said, "Sleep for a while if you're sleepy."

"not sleepy."

"There is navigation in the car."

"The navigation works in the city, but it doesn't work in the countryside."

Jiang Che raised his eyebrows and smiled, "You are the guide, you have the final say."

The car snaked forward on the mountain road. When it was close to noon, they arrived at their destination. Since the road in the village was very narrow, it was difficult for the car to drive in. Jiang Che parked the car on the side of the road, took out an umbrella from the car, Carrying incense and paper money, he led Qiao Ai out of the car.

When passing by the dilapidated house of grandpa and grandma's house that was about to collapse, Qiao Ai stretched out her finger and said to Jiang Che, "That is my grandpa's grandma's house, and it has been vacant for many years."

Jiang Che glanced at the dilapidated house not far away, and gave a faint 'hmm'.

"Not far ahead is the ancestral grave, are you afraid?" Qiao Ai asked him seriously.

He smiled. "What do you think?"

"There are graves all over there. If you are afraid, you can wait for me in the car."

Along the way, it was cloudy and rainy, and I couldn't even see a ghost.

Young people in the countryside either go to the city to go to school or go out to work, and most of the people who stay in the village are old men and women. It is normal to see no one on the road in this kind of ghost weather.

The rain-soaked dirt road was muddy and difficult to walk on. How could Jiang Che let Qiao Ai go alone to a place full of graves without worrying about it.

He walked beside Qiao Ai, and the umbrella in his hand was always leaning towards Qiao Ai's side, preventing her from getting a little rain.

Qiao Ai found that one shoulder of his jacket was already wet, so he reached out and pushed the umbrella he was holding towards him, "Don't just give me an umbrella."

"You are weak, and you will be troubled if you catch a cold."

"I'm in good health."

When she was young, she practiced taekwondo, and she was always in good health. She seldom got sick. When she grew up, she stopped training and exercised less. Her body was indeed not as strong as before.

However, this light rain will not do anything.

Seeing that Jiang Che turned the umbrella to her side again, she snatched the umbrella from his hand. Because of the huge difference in height, she had to lift the umbrella a little higher and prop it on top of Jiang Che's head.

Jiang Che smiled helplessly, "Your arms will get sore after a while."

"It's okay, we'll be there soon."

Qiao Ai pointed to the large and small graves ahead, "Just a few more steps."

The ancestral grave is not far from the old house of my grandparents. Because the road is muddy, they walked for more than ten minutes.

It has been a long time since I visited my parents last time. Weeds grow wildly in front of the tombstone, and there is a thick layer of dead branches and leaves on the grave.

Qiao Ai handed Jiang Che the umbrella, and squatted in front of the two tombstones to clean up weeds.

Jiang Che bent down and reached out his hand to help, but Qiao Ai stopped him, "It's too dirty, don't touch it."

"It's ok."

"I'll do as long as I come, you will wait for me." She said firmly.

Jiang Che froze for a moment, withdrew his hand, straightened up, and quietly stood behind Qiao Ai to help her hold the umbrella.

For Qiao Ai, she didn't really want to come here, but the two people buried here are her parents after all, even though they disciplined her very little, cared very little for her, and did some shameful things Things hurt others, but she had no choice but to come.

Mother and father often quarreled, she thought, mother should know about the bad things father did, and maybe this was the reason why they always quarreled.

After spending half an hour cleaning up the weeds and dead branches and leaves in front of the tombstone, she took the incense and paper money that Jiang Che was carrying, and burned them all.

When the fire was completely extinguished, she stood up, and Jiang Che handed over a tissue, and she took it to wipe off the mud on her hands.

"Let's go."

Jiang Che was taken aback again, "Do you have nothing to say to them?"

Qiao Ai was silent for a moment, looked at the photos of her parents on the tombstone, and said lightly: "I will come to see you next time."

Jiang Che took her hand and led her back.

When passing a small slope, Jiang Che was afraid that she would slip, so he tightened his grip on her hand a little bit. Just as she was about to tell her to watch her step, Jiang Che suddenly slipped and sat on the ground with a 'baji', implicating her. Also fell down and fell into the mud.

She got up, and took two mouthfuls of 'pooh' in disgust, feeling like she had eaten a mouthful of mud.

Jiang Che laughed at her muddy face, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, and wiped her face.

"It's all your fault. I walked steadily." Qiao Ai pouted and muttered softly.

Jiang Che wiped off the muddy spots on her face with a smile, "Blame me, blame me, really blame me, I was careless."

Qiao Ai hummed coquettishly, and stretched out her hand to Jiang Che, "I'll help you."

"Need not."

"You have never been to the country. I know the road here better than you. Let me lead you."

Jiang Che laughed. Although there was no need for Qiao Ai to lead him away, he still stretched out his hand and let Qiao Ai's somewhat cold little hand hold his big hand.

"Does it hurt from the fall?" Qiao Ai asked him solemnly.

He smiled and shook his head.

The umbrella came out of his hand when he slipped and fell down the slope.

He followed Qiao Ai down the slope and picked up the umbrella on the ground. The umbrella was already dirty, dirtier than the two of them, and mud spots dropped from time to time when it was propped on its head.

Qiao Ai felt that there was no need to open an umbrella, anyway, her clothes were dirty and her hair was wet, but Jiang Che insisted on putting the umbrella on top of her head.

Going back the same way and walking to the front of the car, Qiao Ai hesitated to take off his dirty coat when he saw the mud all over his body.

Jiang Che opened the car door without thinking, motioning for her to get in the car.

"I'm covered in mud, it'll stain your car."

She was about to take off her coat, but Jiang Che stopped her, "You can wash the car if it's dirty, don't take off your clothes, lest you catch a cold, get in the car quickly."

She said 'oh', got into the car obediently, and fastened her seat belt.

When I went back, the rain had subsided, and I thought I could go home smoothly, but the car broke down on the road and stopped on the mountainside with no village in front and no shop behind.
