442. A cold place
But seeing that Lu Jingxin and Shen Ruofu didn't pause at their feet, they walked straight forward, so they calmed down, withdrew their hands, and walked forward after them. The three of them approached the room in turn, and Han Yiming felt that the soil under his feet was sticky and wet, and it was a little soft and slippery. If you look closely, you can see that the moss under your feet is already shining, so it is soft and smooth. Looking at the house again, the corners of the ground and the wall below were full of moss, and the roads were green, and it looked like the house was some years old. It's just that the moss here is thick and too damp to live in people? Perhaps, the people who live in it are not people at all.
There was only one wall on one side of the house, and there was no door, so it was all open on the other wall. And there were no windows on the wall, so Lu Jingxin led the three of them along the wall to the other side, and sure enough, he saw a wooden door closed tightly. All three of them stopped, looked at each other, and were about to step forward, when the wooden door opened.
A woman walked out of the door, Han Yiming's heart suddenly moved, and when he saw this woman, he couldn't help but think of Jin Jiaolai. This woman was wearing a half-worn cloth robe, she looked middle-aged, her complexion was slightly yellow, there was no fancy decoration on her body, and there was not even a wild flower on her sideburns, but she was strangely clean and crisp. When she saw the three of them, there was no surprise on her face, but her eyes glanced at the three of them, and she didn't shy away from them at all. In his eyes, he was extremely cold.
Lu Jingxin said: "This eldest sister, we passed by here, we didn't argue the location, we walked for a long time, and we begged for a sip of water to drink." Please make it easier!" he said as he clasped his fist at her. The woman looked at them for a while, her eyes were always cold, and there was no trace of heat at all, but the three of them had come to talk to her with the intention of talking, and they didn't care about her coldness. If it was really a passerby, I was afraid that I would have been frozen by her coldness thousands of miles away.
The woman was silent for a while, and Lu Jingxin stopped talking, but she had no intention of walking away at all. After a while, the woman said coldly, "Well, then you can come in." If you don't dislike it. It's just that I don't have any tea, only spring water in the house!" she said, and turned and went into the house. Lu Jingxin turned around and nodded lightly to Shen Ruofu and Han Yiming, and walked towards the house first.
Where did Han Yiming and Shen Ruofu dare to let their senior brother enter this house alone, the luck and evil were uncertain, and they immediately followed behind and walked into the house. The interior of the house was surprisingly simple. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a family with four walls. The room had no windows, and the light was so dim that the three of them stood for a long time before they saw that there was nothing but a broken bed made of old planks, with a thick layer of grass on it, and it was very simple. Tables and chairs, that's nothing. The woman said coldly, "My family is poor, and if you don't dislike it, then I'll just sit on the ground." Lu Jingxin said: "Thank you, thank you." He sat down cross-legged on the ground.
Although Han Yiming was not frightened, he was infinitely suspicious in his heart. Seeing that the woman took half a gourd from the corner of the wall and scooped a scoop of water, handed it to them and said, "I only have spring water, do you drink it?" Before he could speak, Shen Ruofu had already taken the scoop, thanked him, and took a sip. Originally, when the three of them left, they were also a little thirsty. The woman saw Shen Ruofu drink water, so she said, "There is still in the sink in the corner of the wall over there." After Shen Ruofu drank it, he kept holding the scoop, although Han Yiming was thirsty, he also knew that the little senior brother was afraid of something wrong, and he would have to wait for a while before giving him the scoop. Nor did he make a sound urging. After a while, Shen Ruofu handed him the scoop and said, "Little junior brother, you have washed the scoop, first bring a scoop of water to Senior Brother Lu." ”
Han Yiming took the water scoop and walked to the dark corner of the wall as he said, first to the sound of the thin stream dripping. Although the room looked very rough and simple, there was a stream of living water that was drawn in. Suddenly, his feet softened, and he immediately withdrew his feet, and without knowing what to say, he made two "whines", got up and ran away. Han Yiming stopped and looked at the sound under his feet for a moment, but there was a bright light in the corner of his eye, and something ran over. Looking along, a yellow dog, fat and fat, ran at his own feet, and hummed, and ran to the woman's feet before stopping his feet. When Han Yiming saw this yellow dog, he immediately recognized it, this was the yellow dog he had seen in that farmhouse!
Han Yiming didn't say a word, touched the edge of the sink, scooped up a scoop of water first, washed the half of the gourd, and splashed the water in the scoop on the ground in front of the sink, then scooped up a scoop of water, took it and handed it to Lu Jingxin: "Senior brother, you are tired of walking, just drink saliva!" Lu Jingxin drank half a scoop and said, "Thank you, junior brother, you can also drink some, this water is very sweet." As soon as the words fell, the woman said, "Do you want to rest here?" Lu Jingxin said: "If you don't think we are bothering, let us rest for a while." Thank you for your kindness. The woman paused for a moment before she said, "Well, then you have to rest, I will be out for some time." Take care of yourselves, and if you want to leave, just close the door. So saying, he walked out the door, and the yellow dog ran out with him.
Han Yiming washed the scoop and drank half a scoop of water, the water was extremely clear and cool, and after taking a sip, the heat in his whole body was almost eliminated. Seeing that the woman had gone out, she quietly walked to the door, watched her back disappear into the forest, turned around and said, "Senior brother, that yellow dog is the one I saw in that farmhouse before!" Shen Ruofu said "oh": "I also look a little wrong, but it is inconvenient to say it." Lu Jingxin said: "This yellow dog doesn't look unusual! Maybe it's because my eyesight is not enough, junior brother, do you think it's anything unusual?" Han Yiming shook his head: "I can't see it, it seems to be just an ordinary yellow dog." Lu Jingxin said: "This woman must be weird, this place is very cold, if it is an ordinary family, she will definitely not choose to live here." In such a damp place, ordinary people living for a year and a half will inevitably be cold to the bones, and no matter how strong the body is, they will get seriously ill. Besides, I have carefully looked at the front and back of this place, and I don't see the spring, but there is a spring in this house, and the ground outside the house is soft and wet, and it is noon at this time, but the sun can't shine into the house, which is the coldest place in a radius of dozens of miles. We can't care about this much, let's be careful, so as not to respond to all changes. ”
The three of them sat in the room, and Han Yiming sat for a short time, and he felt that the bones in his legs were cold and painful, and he had to stand up. It is indeed as Lu Jingxin said, it is very damp. When the woman went, she didn't come back for a long time. Han Yiming was originally very vigilant, but it was more than an hour to wait here, except for Lin Tao's bursts and the sound of birdsong, there was no other sound here, and the woman seemed to be gone and never returned.
