Chapter 13: Bathing (II)
I don't know where these two stones came from, they are very large, and this gap is also very long. At first, there was some light projected from behind, but it was completely dark for a while. Zhu Yan's heart trembled in an instant, although Lin Qin has always been good to her, but why does this matter feel so unreliable?
Lin Qin has always looked like he is very arrogant and unscheming, but such a person really wants to make a bad move, but it is even more unguardable. is still one of those who is scheming at a glance, and people can be a little wary of her as soon as they see it.
Fortunately, Zhu Yan walked forward a little further in the dark, and there was another light, so she finally breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little sorry for her previous thoughts.
Walking out of the crack in the stone, what appeared in front of Zhu Yan's eyes was indeed a large waterfall. There wasn't anything wrong with how she felt before.
The waterfall is not very large, but it is about 10 meters wide, so that the lake can be gathered as big as before.
At this time, although the sun had not yet set, the sky was already a little dark, not as bright as the day. But at this time, the waterfall is particularly beautiful.
The water rushes down to a height of about 30 meters and falls on the waterhole below the waterfall. Countless splashes of water splashed out again, and the water droplets jumped in the setting sun, crystal clear, like lively and cute elves.
I don't know where the fragrance of flowers comes from, but it permeates the body, and when you take a breath, you will feel relaxed.
There are also lush flowers and trees growing around the waterhole. Lush and summery.
Lin Qin ran over with a smile, "Ah, I didn't expect the seeds I sprinkled here the year before last to grow so well." He turned back to Zhu Yan and said, "It's beautiful here, isn't it?" ”
Under the sound of the rumbling waterfall, Zhu Yan didn't hear what Lin Qin said to her, but saw Lin Qin's mouth open and close and say something to her. Zhu Yan didn't care, just looking at the smile on her face, she knew that Lin Qin was very happy.
She put her hand into the pool, the water was crystal clear, and there were a few small fish swimming leisurely. His fingers stirred the water, and the fish were gone.
Zhu Yan couldn't help but take his hands out of the water, put his hands in front of his lips in the shape of trumpets, and shouted loudly: "Ah......"
Shouting and shouting, he laughed to himself.
Lin Qin didn't care if Zhu Yan didn't answer her words before, and she knew by looking at her expression that Xiao Yan was already intoxicated by this scenery. She was looking at the flowers and plants by the waterhole at this time, and when she heard Zhu Yan's shout, she couldn't help but bow her head and laugh.
After Zhu Yan finished shouting, he felt that the depression in his heart had been shouted away, and his mood became very relaxed. Don't worry about some things, and you will be safe when they come. Otherwise, you will really live up to the picturesque scenery in front of you.
She walked up to Lin Qin with a smile and said to Lin Qin: "Sister Qin, let's hurry up and start bathing, otherwise it will be dark when we go back." ”
The sky is already dark, to be honest, it will definitely be dark after the two of them take a bath, but it is good to go back early, otherwise it is too late to go back, I am afraid that the people of the Lin family caravan will have opinions, and they will also worry about whether there is an accident. The two of them are weak women after all, although Lin Qin said that because of the proximity to Jiangli County, there are few robberies in this vicinity, but there is nothing wrong with being careful.
Lin Qin nodded in agreement, so the two took off their clothes and went into the water.
Lin Qin deliberately found her a place where the water was relatively shallow, and there was a big stone underneath, on which Zhu Yan could just step on, as long as she was careful, she didn't have to worry about her feet slipping into the depths of the water.
Although Zhu Yan didn't bring soaphorns and other things when he came out of Jiangyang Town, Lin Qin did.
I haven't taken a good bath for so long, and Lin Qin, as a girl, actually can't help it for a long time. She loved water, and she would finally be able to play in it, so she was very happy to swim around in the water. Zhu Yan was quite curious to see that her water was so good. In those days, few women learned to swim, except for men.
Zhu Yan naturally doesn't know how to water, and when it gets dark, she can only see a vague figure, and she doesn't dare to walk around on the big rock at will, for fear that she will accidentally slip to the bottom of the water, but Lin Qin can't rescue her. So he stayed here in peace, and he washed very happily.
The sound of the waterfall was still so loud that the two of them didn't talk loudly, just washed themselves quietly. The fish in the water are not too afraid of strangers entering the waterhole because they do not see outsiders for many years. Seeing these two people swimming in the water, they also came to have fun.
Zhu Yan couldn't help but move as she washed. Fish were pecking at her feet.
The two took a good shower. After washing, I only felt refreshed, and the exhaustion of so many days had been washed away.
The efficiency is still quite high, and the two of them will all pick it up in half an hour. So the two of them got dressed, took their things, and walked back the way they came.
Every time Lin Qin saw Zhu Yan dressing herself, she felt that this little girl was too capable, not only could she dress her clothes well, but she would never tie the wrong rope, and she would comb some complicated buns at a young age. Sometimes she doesn't know the hairstyle that Zhu Yan combs for her, and she doesn't know what Zhu Yan's scumbag father thinks, such a well-behaved and sensible child actually wants to sell it as a child daughter-in-law.
Isn't a girl worthy of being cherished by her father like this? Lin Qin couldn't help hating that person, and felt even more pity for Zhu Yan in his heart.
Zhu Yan naturally didn't know what she was thinking, and just asked her about her doubts.
"Sister Qin, how did you find this place! It's beautiful! ”
Lin Qin smiled proudly.
"When I came to Jiangli County a few years ago, Aunt Xu of our caravan took me to bathe in the big lake. I don't want to use the same lake water as the men, so I think there should be a water source up there, so I should go a little bit further. So I walked and walked, and became more and more curious about where the water came from. Then, I found it! ”
Zhu Yan was a little strange, it turned out that Lin Qin came out a few years ago, didn't he work at the age of fourteen or fifteen?
"There's no way, we're going to have to eat."
"Sister Qin, how can you be as pitiful as you say! I see that the people in the caravan have a lot of respect for you! ”
"Well, you can see this, Xiaoyan, you are so powerful! That's because I'm capable of it, of course! ”
Lin Qin didn't look like he was very capable. I'm afraid that her identity is a bit special.
Zhu Yan didn't have all the angry thoughts about her, after all, she was still an eight-year-old girl after all, Lin Qin could already be regarded as an adult, and there was no need to explain to her child. Especially if he is really a passerby. Probably the two will be separated when they arrive in Jiangli County.
There is little water in Jiangli County, and there are not many people who are good swimmers, Zhu Yan didn't think that Lin Qin's swimming skills were good, and at this time, there was no sound of rushing water in the waterfall, so he asked.
Lin Qin's appearance of coming and going freely in the water made Zhu Yan very envious. But these are relatively far away from Zhu Yan.
"Actually, the Lin family's caravan is still very large, and our team is just average. There are a lot of capable people in the escort team, so we don't have to worry about meeting strongmen when we travel. And I came from Jiangdong County to follow Uncle Lin, and followed the caravan for three years. I learned my swimming skills at home. There is a big river next to my house, and when I was a child, I followed my older brothers and sisters there to play in the water. Naturally, I learned a good skill. ”
Zhu Yan was surprised, Lin Qin turned out to be from Jiangdong County.
"Sister Qin, I heard that Jiangdong County is far away from Jiangli County. How did you get here? ”
Lin Qin nodded her forehead, "It's far away, how can you go to Jincheng far away!" The three times the distance from Jiang Li to Jiangdong is the distance from Jiang Li to Jincheng! ”
The Lin family caravan was going to rest in Jiangli County for a few days, because her destination was Jiangli County, and she didn't ask Lin Qin where the caravan was going in the end.
At this moment, Lin Qin took the initiative to say it.
"Our caravan wants to sell most of the goods in Jiangli County, and then buy some local things in Jiangli County, and sell them at a good price in Jiangdong County. But I don't know much about these things, so I won't say much. Xiao Yan, you are still young, do you really want to go to Jincheng? Otherwise, you follow me and go to Jiangdong together, and then join our Lin family caravan." You're so smart, our hosts will love you. ”
The Lin family's caravan can be regarded as a family business, and Zhu Yan has no idea of going to Jiangdong County. But Lin Qin has already put her heart into this way, and Zhu Yan can't refuse her kindness anymore.
"Sister Qin, it's all my fault, I deceived Uncle Lin before, he definitely won't like a liar. When I get to Jiangli County, I will tell the truth with Uncle Lin, and when the time comes, Uncle Lin will forgive me and then talk about going to Jiangdong County, okay? I still want to go to Jincheng to find my mother. ”
Lin Qin glanced at Zhu Yan in the dark, Zhu Yan didn't notice it, and after thinking for a while, she smiled and said, "Xiao Yan, Uncle Lin won't blame you." Don't worry. In the future, when you grow up, it will be easier to go to Jincheng. ”
Zhu Yan smiled and said, "I know that Sister Qin is good to me, thank you Sister Qin for taking care of me." ”
The two chatted all the way, and soon passed by the previous big lake. There was a faint man's voice over there, and Zhu Yan knew that it was probably the man in the caravan who had come to take a bath. She didn't want to meet that group of people, anyway, she was still the same Zhu Yan who had been married to a lifter, and she was still a little shy about these.
Seeing that Lin Qin was still walking forward with a nonchalant expression, Zhu Yan couldn't help but pull her sleeve.
"Sister Qin, why don't we walk around. Xiao Yan heard a man's voice there, how embarrassed he was to run into it! ”
Lin Qin suddenly realized that she was like a brother and sister to the people in the caravan, and she was blind in the dark, so she didn't care about these things. But after all, Zhu Yan hadn't met a few people in the caravan, and she was still a little girl, so it was natural for her to care about this.
She said to Zhu Yan apologetically: "Xiao Yan, it's all Sister Qin's fault, I still think it's not a big deal when it's dark!" I've been walking around for a long time, and I don't care much about these things. Excuse me! ”
Zhu Yan shook his head in the darkness.
"It's okay, Sister Jean. Alas, we knew it was so early that we brought a lantern. ”
