Traveling Far Away Chapter 72: Seeds of Hope

Li Zhenlang didn't wait for the north wind, but he waited for a thunderstorm!

Looking at the surface of the waves on the big river, he sighed helplessly.

The rapid sound of rain in his ears accompanied by the roar of the sky made Li Zhenlang dispel the idea of crossing south tonight.

At this moment, it was night, and it was raining again, and there was no one else on the riverside except a young man holding an umbrella.

Even the next few houses have closed their doors and windows, and the lights have been turned off early.

In the wind and rain, Li Zhenlang held an umbrella in one hand.

At this moment, he didn't know what to do except stand still, maybe there was still light in the town, but he didn't want to bother people.

Li Zhenlang blinked.

The ripples on the surface of the river are still visible in the night.

He said helplessly: "The sound of rain can always make people melancholy. ”

Every time it rains, he feels calm, and at the same time, all kinds of helplessness and the past will also come to his heart.

However, Li Zhenlang knows that he is not living in the past, but likes to miss.

He can't forget the people and things he once had, and he doesn't want to forget them.

He didn't know what the future would hold and he didn't want to know.

Taking the road he wants to take and wants to take at the moment is his Li Zhenlang's life road!

Sensing that someone was coming behind him, Li Zhenlang looked back and said softly, "Why are you here?"

Yao Shouzhen held an umbrella in one hand, and while walking slowly, he asked rhetorically, "Do you want to cross this river?"

Li Zhenlang said, "Yes, what's wrong?"

The little girl didn't say anything, she came directly to Li Zhenlang and said seriously: "This river is very long, and my grandfather hasn't crossed it for three days." ”

Li Zhenlang said: "I know. ”

"I almost starved to death!"

"Well, I know. ”

Yao Shouzhen said with a solemn face: "There is something in the river!"

Li Zhenlang looked at the little girl and wondered, "How do you know?"

Yao Shouzhen hesitated for a while, and finally said, "I've seen it!"

Li Zhenlang squinted, but he didn't think Yao Shouzhen was talking nonsense, but asked, "Aren't you afraid?"

Yao Shouzhen said: "I'm afraid!"

Li Zhenlang was surprised, "Then why are you still coming?"

Yao Shouzhen thought for a while and said, "I have to tell you!" After speaking, the little girl's eyes suddenly widened, and in a pair of pupils, the two black dots actually coincided together, she pointed behind Li Zhenlang, her expression was solemn at the same time, her whole body was trembling!

Li Zhenlang turned his head violently, took two steps forward, but didn't see anything, he turned his back to the little girl and said, "What do you see?"

Yao Shouzhen said in a trembling voice: "A pair of eyes...... It's watching me, and I'm scared ......."

Li Zhenlang immediately turned around, covered Yao Shouzhen's eyes, and said, "Don't look at it!"

Yao Shouzhen couldn't stop trembling, Li Zhenlang squatted down, hugged her in his arms, and said, "Close your eyes, don't look, don't be afraid, my brother is here." He looked back, but there was still nothing unusual on the river.

The thunderstorm is still falling, and it doesn't seem to stop.

Li Zhenlang kept comforting Yao Shouzhen until the little girl calmed down, he slowly took away his palm, Yao Shouzhen's eyes were closed, opened slowly, and those pupils returned to their previous appearance.

Li Zhenlang immediately decided to send the little girl home first, and the two walked towards the town.

Yao Shouzhen said on the road: "This is the second time I have seen it. ”

"What about the first time?"

"The first time was when I was with Wang Da Can, and we were playing by the river. ”

"Didn't you tell anyone?"

"Except for you, Wang Da Can knows, but Wang Da Can doesn't believe it, and says that I lied to him, and I don't dare to tell others, they definitely don't believe it, just like my grandfather, no one believes him. ”

Li Zhenlang nodded, feeling that the little girl had been regarded as an outlier in the eyes of others, if she really told others, maybe it would make people even more repulsed, and after the black spots in those eyes reunited, they were no different from ordinary people, but if you look closely, you will find that it looks like two pupils!

Li Zhenlang said softly: "I'll tell you a story." ”

Yao Shouzhen didn't know why Li Zhenlang suddenly said this, but he still nodded and said, "You say." ”

Li Zhenlang said: "In my hometown, there is a person named Yao Chonghua, he is the same as you, he is also born with heavy pupils, we all respect him, his filial piety touches the heavens and the earth, his moral character is noble and tolerant, no one will treat him as a monster because of his eyes, but he is very popular with people, even if the streamer flies by, thousands of years later, people still remember him, he also has a name, called Shun." ”

Yao Shouzhen said: "Really, his eyes don't scare others?"

Li Zhenlang smiled: "He likes to convince people, not intimidate." ”

Yao Shouzhen nodded, stopped, and said, "My house has arrived." ”

Li Zhenlang said: "Come in, don't let your family worry, don't go to the river in the future, remember this story, you are still young now, and you can't give up on the future." ”

Yao Shouzhen nodded, saw Li Zhenlang turn around and walked, caught up with two steps, and said, "When are you leaving?"

Li Zhenlang turned around and said, "When the rain stops, leave." ”

Yao Shouzhen said, just watching him walk slowly while two blue ribbons fluttered under the umbrella.

"Shouzhen, what are you running around on a rainy day, let's go to Can'er's house again. ”

"Well, yes!" Yao Shouzhen replied.

It wasn't until the little woman's voice came out of the house that the little girl hurried into the house. The story told by Li Zhenlang also planted a seed of hope in the damaged heart of the little girl.

Li Zhenlang returned to the river, Yao Shouzhen's words made him think all the way, if there was really something in the river, then if he wanted to cross the river, he might encounter some risks.

However, after thinking about it, the people of Shanhe Town often fish on the river, if there is really any danger, I am afraid that no one will dare to go into the water for a long time, Yao Shouzhen can see things that others can't see, this may be because her eyes are different from others, and at this moment, the little girl should not be a birth defect.

The thunderstorm has not stopped, but the wind in the rain has changed, and the wind that was originally southeast has now changed to a north wind.

Li Zhenlang decided not to wait, the waves on the river are not too big, and it is much more stable to walk with the help of the north wind at this time than when there is a headwind.

He stood on the bamboo raft, holding an umbrella in one hand and holding a penny in the other, one end of the penny was placed in the water at the end of the raft, and he did not deliberately paddle, he floated directly along the north wind, and it didn't take long for him to be far away from Shanhe Town.

Li Zhenlang looked back at the ordinary town and muttered, "It's not bad to be half-secular and half-worldly." ”

A few hours later.

The surface of the river with thousands of ripples gradually calmed down, the thunderstorm stopped, the dark clouds dispersed, the moon in the sky and the moon in the water appeared together, and the dark river surface in front of it could also be seen.

Li Zhenlang put away the umbrella, threw it horizontally in front of him, and while shaking off the raindrops on the umbrella, a piece of scale light fell on the river again, and he inserted the umbrella behind him again, intending to hold it with both hands.
