cpa300_4(); Ping'er looked at me and said, "I just want to tell you that you came back late, and someone came to look for you just now." ”

"Looking for me?" I wondered, "Who came to me?"

Ping'er said, "It's the bhikshuni who sent you before. ”

"What? is she?"

I subconsciously wanted to stand up, but as soon as I moved, I felt dizzy and sat back down. Ping'er hurriedly helped me and said, "Don't get up, she's already gone." ”

I was stunned: "Already gone?"

"Well, she said she sent you here and wanted to see how you are doing, and I heard that you woke up and went out again, and she waited for you for a while, and when she saw that you hadn't come back, she left. ”

"That's the case...... "I feel a little sorry, that bhikshuni is my benefactor, and I really should thank her in person, but it's a pity that I missed it today." I hurriedly asked, "Did she say which temple she practiced in, or would she come here again?"

Ping'er shook her head: "She's a wandering fanny, and I asked her, hoping that she would come back to see you, but she said she still had important things to do and was leaving tomorrow, so I can't wait to meet you." ”

I sat down on the bed in disappointment.

Seeing that my originally pale face was getting darker and darker because of disappointment, Ping'er could only comfort me: "You don't want to be like this. The bhikshuni also said when he was leaving, that he would meet by fate. You two don't have a relationship right now. ”

No fate...... Is it?

As I listened, I felt my heart sink and didn't speak again, leaning against the bedpost with my eyes closed.

It's no fate......

Ping'er didn't know if I was awake or asleep, so he carefully guarded the side for a long time, but he didn't speak, and waited until I slowly opened my eyes, and then he came over cautiously and looked at me in a daze: "Are you crying?"

“……”

I didn't speak, my face was so numb that I couldn't feel anything, and when I reached out to touch it, I felt a tear slip through the corner of my eye, and my fingertips immediately became wet.

"What's wrong with you? I see that as soon as you come back, people are weird. ”

I looked down at the water on my fingertips, slowly clenched my fists, raised my head and said to Ping'er, "It's okay." ”

"Then how are you-"

I interrupted him and said, "Ping'er, I have good news for you. ”

"Good news?" his eyes widened when he heard this, "Are you—"

"Hmm. I smiled and nodded......

Later, the seventh sister-in-law and the second girl came back, and Ping'er told them the good news.

The child was so excited that he jumped straight in the house: "Great, you can cross the river, you can cross the river!"

The seventh sister-in-law didn't speak for a long time, and at this time she said: "Don't mess around, it's not you crossing the river, what's there to be happy about? If you don't go to the kitchen to get food so late, you're going to starve your sister to death." ”

Ping'er listened, stuck out her tongue, and took the second girl to the kitchen.

The seventh sister-in-law then walked to the table and sat down, and I smiled and said, "Seventh sister-in-law, thank you for taking care of me these days." ”

She waved her hand.

I looked at the expression on her face, not happy, not unhappy, just very calm smile, she said to me: "Actually, I also know that if you want to find your daughter, you must find a way no matter what." But ten taels of silver, how can it be so easy. You-"

I smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I met an acquaintance and lent me the money." ”

"Oh......"

"By the way, Seventh Sister-in-law, what is your husband's name and what characteristics do you have, you sue me, and when I go over there, I will also help you inquire. ”

The seventh sister-in-law paused.

I don't know why, I felt that she was shocked, but I didn't have any other expression when I saw her, I just said calmly: "Oh, my surname is Gu, my name is Gu Qi." He is very tall and very eye-catching in the crowd. A-Qing, if you really see it, help me tell him, it's okay at home. Let him figure out how to come back on his own. ”

I don't know if it's my delusion, the seventh sister-in-law's words are a little light, not at all like what the husband and wife who are forced to separate the two places want to say, but after thinking about it, ordinary couples are not like this, ordinary days, where do they come from so many sweet words, vows and alliances.

So he nodded and smiled: "Okay, if I see him, I will definitely bring this to me." ”

I don't know why, compared to Ping'er's eagerness and my enthusiasm, the seventh sister-in-law was a little strangely calm, and she smiled at me: "Thank you." ”

I looked at her a little strangely, somehow I always felt that something was wrong, but I didn't know what was wrong, at this time Ping'er had already run in happily with the rice pot and the second girl, and everyone set the dishes and chopsticks to eat together, and this matter was not mentioned again.

After eating, Ping'er went out to inquire again, and immediately came back in a hurry, only to know that a boat had crossed the river this evening, and it would leave the port as soon as it was over. The seventh sister-in-law originally thought that this was too urgent, and besides, my health was not good, so I should recuperate for a while, but I and Ping'er both said that they had to leave tonight.

I also know that after tonight, I don't know when there will be a boat, and when there is a boat, I don't know if I can still go.

So, I only lay on the side of the bed for a while in the evening, waiting for it to be dark outside, and the seventh sister-in-law carefully told me to get up, helped me tidy up, and then turned around and explained to Ping'er: "There are a lot of us, if we go out, we are only afraid of attracting attention, so I and the second girl will not go." Ping'er, just go and send Aunt Qing, remember, you must be careful. ”

"Got it. ”

"You have to watch her get on the boat, if you run into someone from the government-"

"I know, I'd rather not get caught than get arrested. ”

"Be careful. ”

She also told me a thousand times, and I agreed to them one by one, and the second girl standing beside her was sleepy-eyed, stood on tiptoe and handed me a big oiled paper bag in her arms: "Aunt Qing, give it to you." ”

I took it, and it was a couple of steaming buns.

"Thank you. As I spoke, I raised my head again and looked at the seventh sister-in-law, and said gratefully: "Seventh sister-in-law, I am really grateful to you." ”

It's not just her care these days, I am grateful that in such a difficult world, there are such good people, and such good people still maintain good hearts.

The seventh sister-in-law only smiled faintly.

Looking at her faint smile, I don't know why I feel a strange uneasiness, I don't know where it came from, but I don't have time to think about it, Ping'er has already opened the door, standing at the door and beckoning: "Aunt Qing, go quickly, go quickly, otherwise it will be too late." ”

I walked to the door, looked back at the seventh sister-in-law who was standing inside with the second girl, and said softly, "Goodbye." ”

The seventh sister-in-law smiled and waved her hand at me.

I turned around and followed Ping'er out......

When a private boat leaves the port, it is naturally not the public port used to travel before, but a hidden river beach, and to go to the river beach, you must first pass through a dense mathematical system. The surrounding area is full of greenery, and in the dark night, it is more like a towering city wall, covering everything in front of you.

Fortunately, there is Ping'er, and this kid probably doesn't know how many times he has been here, and he didn't even need to light the lamp to lead me forward. I walked all the way, although I tried my best to suppress it, I also felt a little uncomfortable, the food I ate at night had already vomited halfway, although the smell of buns in my arms was fragrant, but I didn't feel enjoying it at all.

I just feel tormented.

Finally, when my eyes were about to merge with the night, Ping'er pulled me forward and walked down a slope, and I felt a sudden opening up in front of me.

The sound of the water was murmuring, accompanied by a cold chill, and it hit you head-on.

As soon as I raised my eyes, I saw the sparkling waves in front of me, the night cold in the south of the Yangtze River, a round of crescent moon hanging in the dark sky, and the sprinkling of thousands of clear lights on the surface of the river, like a silver wire net, shrouded the entire Yangtze River.

I couldn't help but be stunned.

When I was still in the capital, I heard that Li'er was in Jiangnan, and I dreamed of the Yangtze River more than once, imagining that I would one day cross the river to find her, but at this time, the river separating me and Li'er was in front of me, but I was a little at a loss.

Seeing me standing on the shore in a daze, Ping'er carefully pulled my sleeve: "Let's go." ”

I turned my head to look at him, and the young man had an excited expression on his face in the moonlight, and pointed ahead: "Look, the ship is coming!"

I looked up, and sure enough, under the moonlight, a big boat slowly came on the river, and the originally calm river surface swelled with bursts of waves, constantly lapping on the shore, and the quiet night was also broken, and some people whispered excitedly around them.

These people are all here to wait to cross the river by private boat.

Ping'er took my sleeve and ran to the makeshift trestle, and said in a low voice as she ran: "I have inquired clearly, when someone comes to collect the money when we get on the boat later, you should hurry up and get ready, if there is no silver, they will throw people into the water." ”

"Hmm. ”

I nodded, didn't speak, although the chest stuffiness in the Yangtze River and the big boat has been much better, but uncomfortable or uncomfortable, the people around saw the boat slowly sailing over, and also gathered to the side of the trestle, for a time crowded, Ping'er desperately protected me, pushed away the people around: "Be careful, don't touch!"

I looked at this little man with gratitude.

After a while, the ship docked.

The boat is not big, but the boat is too big to cross the river without permission, everyone sees the boat as if a drowning person sees a life-saving straw, they are desperately squeezing forward, Ping'er escorted me in the crowd, I heard a sound in front of me, the people on the boat put the huge sampan on the trestle, a few five big and three thick sailors came to guard, constantly pushing the crowd: "Don't squeeze don't squeeze! Pay the silver and then get on the boat, ten taels per person!"

I already had the ingot of silver in my hand, and I walked forward little by little with the flow of people.

After a while, when I arrived at the head of the trestle, the murmuring river water under my feet kept slapping the wooden stakes, bringing the fishy smell of the river water.

But......

I don't know if it's an illusion, but I seem to smell something else from the moisture.

It seems to be a little fragrant.

But I didn't have time to think about it, it was already my turn to get on the ship, and the sailor in front of me stretched out his thick arm to stop me: "Where's the silver?"

I hurriedly took out ten taels of silver and handed it to him.

The man took the silver and checked it, and then looked at Ping'er beside me, and Ping'er immediately said, "I'm with her, I won't get on the boat." ”

"Oh. Then you go up. Imp, stand back and don't get in your way. ”

The man's thick hand grabbed my arm and tugged at me, and I staggered to the boat.

As soon as I stepped on the splint, the whole person stumbled a little, almost unsteady, I hurriedly held on to the wooden fence next to me, and looked back to see Ping'er standing on the trestle, desperately standing on tiptoe: "Be careful." ”

"Thank you, Ping'er. ”

"You have to ...... Find my dad!"

"I'll try. ”

"By all means!"

I smiled bitterly.

The child's heart is to maintain such a reckless innocence, but it is not annoying, I know that his eagerness, in fact, is the same as my hope to find the child's heart, as long as there is the last point of hope, I must maintain a hundred points of enthusiasm.

Thinking of this, I turned back to him and nodded vigorously.

At this time, the people who got on the boat behind me had already squeezed over and pushed me: "Hurry up, don't get in the way." ”

I staggered forward, and after a while I followed the sailor who led the way to the door of the cabin, only to see that the black hole below was the cabin, and there was a faint noise of people.

Below, are all people who crossed the river in private boats.

I cautiously walked down the wooden railing, only to see that there were indeed a lot of people in it, and the cabin was almost full, and a faint oil lamp hung on the ceiling, shining on this small cabin, and a few stools were sitting, and everyone was sitting next to each other on the deck, and some acquaintances were muttering.

I looked left and right, and saw that there was a vacant seat in a corner over there, so I cautiously walked over and sat down.

As soon as I walked there, the hull of the boat suddenly shook, and I stepped on the clothes of the person next to me, and hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." ”

The man was wearing a hat and had been sitting there with his head down, and only then did he slowly raise his head: "It's okay." ”

As soon as I looked up, the pale and emaciated face met the faint light behind me, and my eyes suddenly widened in shock: "You-"

The man was also shocked: "Y-you?"

I froze in place, staring at her with wide eyes.

This is a bhikshuni dressed in sea green clothes, looking up at me, a faint smile already appeared on his face: "Tan Yue, meet again." ”

“……”

"Poor Ni still thinks that he really has no fate to say goodbye to Tan Yue. ”

This is a bhikshuni who is not young, very thin, and I am no stranger to the gray clothes, even the faint scent of sandalwood on her body, I am not unfamiliar with it, and I just remembered the smell I had just smelled on the trestle.

This is the bhikshuni who saved me and handed me over to my seventh sister-in-law!

Her face was a monk's characteristic smile that was light and breezy, not warm, but very easy-going, but I still stood in front of her and looked at her in shock.

"It's you?!"
