After explaining the matter of tuition fees to Lin Tang and his wife, Lin Qingyan did not stay in Lin Tang's house anymore, and one person withdrew from the main house, walked back to her residence, and when she left, Lin Tang brought the door open, and at this moment she pushed it open, and her left foot was raised to cross the threshold, but it stopped, and after careful consideration in a short period of time, Lin Qingyan's left foot that did not land was retracted.

There are two wooden doors in the main room, the lower edge of the left door is attached to the sill embedded in the earth, and the right door is a little open to reveal the light inside the house.

Lin Qingyan walked back, his whole body was hidden behind the left door, he raised his hand and knocked on the door, and did not peek inside through the gap, let alone directly intrude.

"Who?"

Qian Qiao's voice was accompanied by the sound of the bench rubbing the ground.

"Big brother, sister-in-law, it's me."

Lin Qingyan's whole body was relaxed against the left door, listening to the not much harmonious interaction in the room.

"Qingyan, why didn't you sleep?"

This time, Qian Qiao was sure that it was Lin Qingyan, and he didn't bother to ask, so it was Lin Tang's turn to ask.

Lin Qingyan asked straight to the point: "Big brother, can you come out for a while?" ”

"Go, your sister called yours." Qian Qiaohuo put down the dishes and chopsticks, "I can't eat a meal." ”

The sound of the bottom of the bowl smashing on the table was very loud, and Lin Qingyan knew that it was deliberately made to show her.

Lin Tang was kicked out by Qian Qiao, and the purpose was achieved, as for what else would happen, it was not something that Lin Qingyan cared about.

Lin Qingyan walked a little farther away, standing in a position where Qian Qiao would not overhear, turning around and waiting for the person behind him who was stuck in the middle of the door, and there was no one who was fully exposed. Lin Tang had already come out, and Qingyan didn't say anything about it, so he immediately turned around and went into the house to go back, so he had to walk to the side where Lin Qingyan was standing.

Lin Tang was angry in his heart, and he didn't dare to make a fuss to Qian Qiao, but Lin Qingyan became the one who took the initiative to come to the door to be angry.

"What are you looking for me to do?" Lin Tang turned his back to Lin Qingyan and urged without waiting for a second, "Your sister-in-law is waiting for me, say something quickly." ”

"Big brother, do you know Fu Si?"

"There is a fool living in the ruined temple at the west end of the village, who doesn't know about this."

Without waiting for Lin Qingyan to ask, Lin Tang revealed what Lin Qingyan wanted to inquire.

Lin Tang turned around and stared at Lin Qingyan with suspicion, "What are you asking that fool to do?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just a little curious." Lin Qingyan moved back in Lin Tang's gaze, "Big brother, don't let your sister-in-law wait, I'll go back first." ”

After saying this, Lin Qingyan turned his head and ran, and in the blink of an eye, Lin Tang was left alone in the courtyard to blow the wind.

He was kicked out of the warm house by Qian Qiao, and a word of curiosity was over? Qingyan, this little girl, is really getting more and more regressive.

Lin Tang took a mouthful of phlegm on the muddy floor, and he trembled as he was thinly dressed, thinking that he would get up early tomorrow and go to work in the field, so he stopped thinking about it and walked back.

Lin Tang pushed the door open, and Qian Qiao behind the door startled him.

Lin Tang stood inside and closed the door, rubbing his fluttering heart, "Qiao, why are you here?" ”

Qian Qiao, who was bent on his waist, stood up straight and pinched his waist with his right hand, and pointed at Lin Tang with his left hand, "What's wrong with me here?" You brothers and sisters say that you need to run so far, obviously because you don't want me to hear it! ”

"No, don't think about it."

Lin Tang told the truth, missed it with Qian Qiao, and diligently cleaned up the messy dishes and chopsticks on the table.

"Lin Tang, what do you mean by this, you make it clear, otherwise you don't want to go to my bed tonight."

Qian Qiao dragged Lin Tang face to face with him, and he had to make a fuss with Lin Tang.

There was a lot of noise in the main house, and Lin Qingyan's house was unusually quiet.

Lin Qingyan lay flat on the bed, his head resting in the crossed palms, listening to the movement in the main room not far from the residence, and the commotion between the two did not know when it would end.

The husband and wife, quarreling at the head of the bed and at the end of the bed, the voices of the two became quieter and quieter, and it was time to stop how big the matter was to this point.

Lin Qingyan changed from lying down to sitting on the edge of the bed, his eyes focused on the square stool at the same height as the bed, on which stood a white candle, and there were a lot of creamy yellow wax tears on it. Before, Lin Qingyan didn't take a closer look, but in this way, there was no electrified furniture in this room, and the only light source was this candle that had been lit for a third of the time. I don't know if the Lin family is too poor, or in order to save, they use candles instead of glass bulbs that can be bought for a few yuan.

Lin Qingyan stared at the orange candlelight, and wax tears flowed down the concave opening from above. After waiting a little longer, after there was no movement outside, Lin Qingyan took out the matchbox hidden under the four legs of the bench, shook it to make sure that there were a few matches and put it in his pocket, and pulled out the candle attached to the bench surface with his right hand, and the shaking of his hand led to the wax tears that were not full of wax droplets on his hand.

The hands were slightly cold, and the wax tears dripping on the skin did not feel the heat.

Lin Qingyan held the candle and walked to the closed door, slowly moved the door with his left hand, and deliberately kept the rotation of the door shaft from making a sound that could be heard by the second person.

When there is a gap between the two doors, she can pass guò, and stops the movement of her left hand.

Lin Qingyan stood in the courtyard, looking at the window of the main house, the light was turned off, it seemed that Lin Tang had gone to bed to rest, so she could leave to do her own thing.

For the villagers of Fengming Village, they basically rest after eating dinner and cleaning up, and after a busy day, the happiest thing is the hot kang head of their wives and children.

Lin Qingyan walked out of the Lin family and walked west along the path in front of his house. Lin Qingyan protected the candlelight with his left hand to block the wind, but despite this, the firelight was unstable and fluttered from side to side. Walking around the village, Lin Qingyan didn't see a few households with lights on, but after dinner, with the help of candlelight, there was no obstacle in the village.

The structure of the houses in the village is quite simple, and Lin Qingyan, who walked in one direction to the end, found the broken temple that Lin Tang said.

Lin Qingyan took a step closer, and under the light of the candle, Lin Qingyan saw the appearance of the temple clearly.

The temple looks quite old, but it is more like a temple than a house dedicated to some gods and Buddhas. The two wooden doors of the temple and the plaque on it are long gone, and the surrounding area is even more desolate, although it is a little offensive to call it a broken temple, but it is indeed quite appropriate.

Lin Qingyan stood one step away from the door of the temple, looking in from the door and window, it was pitch black. If a child passes by here, they will be scared away by the gloomy one. Lin Qingyan touched the wall with his left hand, and there were only ice cubes of mud bricks and dust in one hand.

Will anyone really live here?

Lin Qingyan didn't walk in in a hurry, but asked at the entrance of the temple, "Is anyone there?" ”
