Chapter 9: Borrowing

Lin is not a god, naturally can't find a way out, the two of them went around several times, and suddenly heard a loud bang, when today's second rainstorm is coming, the heart is cold at once.

Lin Qiao pinched the tip of his nose: "It's over." ”

Zhou Jinyu frowned slightly, and said, "I remember that there is a very small village not far ahead, maybe we can go over and borrow it for a while tonight." ”

Lin Xuan: "...... Forget it, there's no other way. ”

Although Lin has been running around outside in the past few years, he has always lived well, and he really hasn't encountered this situation.

Thankfully, she's not alone.

Lin can only comfort himself like this.

Zhou Jinyu relied on his very subtle memories and spent nearly an hour before the two finally found the so-called small villa.

The small mountain villa is really just a small mountain villa, located in a small ravine between the hills, and there are only seven or eight families looking down from the top of the mountain, and the two of them do not know if they can find a family willing to accept them.

I don't even know if there are still people living here.

Maybe only an empty house will remain.

But in any case, it was much better than sleeping on the streets, and the two of them looked at each other and headed for the bottom of the mountain.

At about eight o'clock in the evening, Lin Cao's mobile phone ran out of battery, and the two arrived at the first house, the door was locked, and no one opened the door after knocking for a long time, and their hearts were half cold.

It wasn't until the two of them knocked on the fifth house that a voice came from inside: "Who?"

"Hello, we are passing by," Zhou Jinyu said in a deep voice, "We accidentally got lost in the mountains and have no place to stay at night, can we spend the night with you?"

Lin added: "We can pay the accommodation fee according to the market price." ”

There was silence for a moment, and then footsteps sounded, and after about a minute, the door was opened, and a little girl who looked seven or eight years old poked out her head and looked at them seriously, and then shouted into the back room: "Milk, it's two good-looking brothers and sisters!"

"Do you look like a good man?" said a trembling old voice from inside.

Lin couldn't help laughing, and said softly: "You tell grandma that we are good people, too good to be good." ”

"Yes!" said the little girl, crisply.

Zhou Jinyu and Lin Qiao looked at each other and smiled, then gently rubbed the little girl's head, and said, "Can we go in?"

The old man said, "Come in." ”

The house is not big, but the yard is quite big, there is a locust tree in the yard, it is estimated that it is very old, and there is a swing tied to the locust tree, which is estimated to be used by the little girl to play.

Only then did Lin find that the old man was sitting at the door, looking like he was seventy or eighty, his face was full of furrows, his eyes seemed to be a little invisible, staring straight ahead, and he was still holding a cane in one hand.

The little girl ran to her grandmother and sat down, and said, "Milk, you can't see it, but they are all very good-looking." ”

Zhou Jinyu smiled: "The mouth is so sweet." ”

Grandma also smiled and said, "I'm sorry, it's just the two of us at home, so I'm a little scared." ”

"Yes," Lin said, "Old man, we are lost in this mountain, and we really can't get out, can we borrow your house tonight?"

"Yes, yes, it's the quilt, you have to spread it yourself," the old man sighed, "I've not been in good health lately, and I can't move." ”

"That's natural. "Zhou Jinyu Road.

"You two will stay in the easternmost room. ”

When the other party said this, Lin Qiao realized that something was wrong, looking at the old man's meaning...... Do you think the two of them are a couple?

Zhou Jinyu obviously heard the same feeling, turned his face sideways, and glanced at her meaningfully.

Lin Kai cleared his throat and said, "Old man, we ...... Can I stay in two rooms?"

The old man was stunned for a moment, and then said "ouch": "I'm sorry, I thought you were a couple." It's my fault, but...... It's really unfortunate that we only have one room left empty, and one of them is used to pile up a lot of miscellaneous items, you see this ......."

"It's fine. Zhou Jinyu said, "I can also lay on the floor." ”

"You ......"

"It's fine. Lin Jiao wanted to say anything more, but was blocked by Zhou Jinyu, "It's just one night, and we'll set off at dawn tomorrow." ”

Lin nodded at this time.

After talking, Lin and the two learned that the old man's children were all working outside, leaving only a girl for her to take care of, and the girl lived in the town on weekdays, but she came back to live during the summer vacation, so the old man stayed at home alone on weekdays.

Lin was a little sad when she heard it, and she couldn't help but think of her grandmother, and she became a little closer to her.

Lin made the bed, there was a musty smell in the room, and she didn't mind at all this time.

The house is a bungalow built by their family, and there is no living room, so Zhou Jinyu can't find a place to lay on the floor.

In the end, it was Lin Kai who made the final decision: "You just have a room with me." ”

Zhou Jinyu smiled and teased: "You just want to sleep in a room with me?"

Lin Wei glanced sideways: "I don't object to you sleeping outside." ”

"Well, let's sleep next to you. Zhou Jinyu snapped his fingers, "Compared with sleeping outside, I feel more secure by your side." ”

Lin Kai really wanted to fly up and kick this person directly.

The two washed up very well, and Lin Xiaoxiao lay on the bed and turned over the SLR for a while.

There is no data cable that they can use in this place, the mobile phone is still turned off, and Lin Qiao's SLR power is about to run out.

Zhou Jinyu rubbed his undried hair and said, "Turn off the lights?"

"Good night. ”

With a "snap", Zhou Jinyu pressed the lamp, and the room fell into darkness.

The night in the mountains was exceptionally quiet, so quiet that even the sound of breathing could be heard clearly, and the sound of frogs coming from time to time outside gave Lin a feeling of watching horror movies, she couldn't help but turn over in bed, and her mind was flooded with all kinds of horror movies she had watched.

…… It's kind of scary.

Lin Jiao curled up his body in the quilt alone, and suddenly there was a boom, and the torrential rain poured down again, as if it had been poured into the pool.

Lin Wei swallowed his saliva: "...... Did you sleep?"

Zhou Jinyu didn't answer.

Lin Yu shouted cautiously again: "Zhou Jinyu?"

Just when Lin thought that Zhou Jinyu would not answer again, Zhou Jinyu's quilt not far away suddenly moved, and then, Zhou Jinyu raised his hand and responded lazily: "What, scared?"

"You're scared. Lin said, "I can't sleep, insomnia, let's chat." ”

She is resolutely unable to admit her fears, admit her weakness.

Zhou Jinyu said "um": "What do you want to talk about?"

Lin thought for a while and said, "How long will it take to survey your princess's tomb?"

"It depends. Zhou Jinyu said, "If you can't find more relics, it will be over soon." If only a large group of burial mounds could be found...... You're going to need to stay here for a long time. ”

Lin Yu let out an "oh", remembered the matter of the pottery bottle again, and asked again: "By the way, what is the matter with the pottery bottle that you have been mentioning before?"

"Clay bottle?" Zhou Jinyu's voice lowered a little, as if he was hesitating to say it.

"If it's a secret, forget it," Lin said, "Anyway, it's just a casual conversation." ”

"It's not a secret," Zhou Jinyu said lightly, "Do you remember that there was a big news in China a few months ago, the anti-theft glass of the Cultural Relics Museum in the center of Beishi was damaged, and a pottery vase unearthed in the Han Dynasty was missing." The reason why I went there this month was because the missing clay vase suddenly appeared over there. ”

Lin Wei squinted his eyes and gradually connected things into a line: "So, the clay bottle is the one related to Miss Overboard?"

"Hmm. ”

“…… Then you saved Miss Overboard at that time, in fact, because she had clues about the clay vase?" Lin couldn't help but ask.

"Part of the reason," Zhou Jinyu said truthfully, "but even if it is someone else, I will save it." ”

"Then you're not too scummy," Lin concluded, "It's Miss Overboard who misunderstood you." ”

Zhou Jinyu tugged at the corners of his mouth, and the starry light in his eyes was shining: "When did you give her such a vivid name?"

Lin said lightly: "Don't you think it fits her temperament very well?"

Zhou Jinyu smiled: "I really want to know what code name I am in your heart?"

“…… Mr. Zhou. Only then did Lin realize that she didn't seem to have given Zhou Jinyu a code name that was very in line with his temperament.

After all, you know the name.

If I had to make one, it would probably be Mr. Benefactor.

Thinking of this, Lin couldn't help but smile.

Zhou Jinyu suddenly shouted: "Miss Almighty." ”

"Huh?" Lin didn't react for a while, "Don't tell me this is what you gave me ......"

"Yes," Zhou Jinyu bowed slightly, "Your impression in my heart." ”

"......" Lin was speechless for a while, I don't know why she felt a little funny, she slowed down for a while before she spoke, "Then thank you so much, give me such a high evaluation." ”

Zhou Jinyu smiled silently: "Actually, I think it's amazing that the pottery bottle can end like this, but the top priority is not to find the pottery bottle, but to find the group of people who stole the pottery bottle, in fact, the same thing has happened several times before, just because it was not exposed to the public......"

As Zhou Jinyu spoke, he suddenly heard a very slight snoring, as if Lin Jiao had fallen asleep.

He paused, and shouted, "Lin Xuan?"

There was no answer.

It's really asleep.

Zhou Jinyu smiled helplessly, then turned over, closed his eyes, and also fell asleep.

The night is still long, and the rain is pouring down, and it seems that there will never end.
