Chapter 405: Wisdom is in the People
The rain in the mountains still kept falling, and when I looked up, it was still misty.
Under the porch, her gaze stopped on my baggage, looked at it for a while, and said with a surprised expression, "Hey, I said really what a coincidence!" "Why is it so similar to this?"
I followed her gaze and looked at my own baggage, nodded at her, and said, "Not really." ”
Don't talk about her, I feel the same way as her.
Coincidences are coming together!
I looked at her with a grin and said, "I just slept and opened my eyes, and I thought I was a hell of a ghost when I saw it!" ”
"Me too, scared!"
After a few words of dialogue, the unfamiliar distance is slowly narrowing.
The backyard of the mountain temple was already empty, and it was still raining, so it was really lonely to stay alone.
It is fate to have such a companion who unexpectedly appeared in front of me!
An indescribable fate between people!
After thinking about it, I beckoned to her and said, "Hey, it's raining and windy, you might as well come here to take shelter." ”
"Anyway, it's shelter from the rain, and there's at least one pillar here," I said, pointing to the hero who shielded me from the wind, and explained to her, "I can still hide here and keep out the wind." ”
The backyard is empty, look left and right, but the corridor is a suitable place to stay, otherwise I wouldn't have chosen this place just now.
Of course, it is more comfortable, it must be the main hall, the place is not to mention, and the wind cannot blow.
It's a pity that she suffered the same thing as me, and was driven to the backyard by those people. They occupy the most advantageous position.
If it weren't for that, she wouldn't have had a chance to run into me.
The person on the other side nodded, his eyes swept under the porch. Then he threw aside the heavy robe she had taken off.
The water dripping from the coat was dripping, and soon the ground was wet.
With such heavy rain and continuous rain, it can't last long just by wearing a coat and walking on the road.
The wind is strong on the mountain, and the raindrops are mixed with the wind and blow straight to the face, and the clothes are blowing!
If there is no mountain temple to avoid halfway down the road, it is estimated that she has been walking on the road. I'm sure I'll get soaked through my robes too.
She put down her coat and walked slowly in my direction.
The first thing she did when she came over was to put the big burden she was carrying on the ground. Suddenly there was a dull thud.
Listen to her burden, it's not light!
I frowned, "he" was her to be exact, and she stuck her tongue out at me.
When she was done, she looked at me embarrassedly and said, "It's too heavy." Such a big burden. I carried it all the way from Nanhua Town to the Mountain Temple! I'm sweating on my back in the winter! “
"When I was packing up, I thought about bringing this and that, but I didn't want to pull it down, and it was a bunch when I sorted it out."
"It's not easy!" I'm considerate.
After unloading the heavy burden and leaving it on the ground, she approached me and looked at me. "What's your name?" She sat down, looked at me and whispered, "I can see it." You're pretending to be too."
I didn't admit it, I didn't deny it, and I looked at her with a sly smile on my face, and the meaning was clear.
Look at each other in pairs. After a few breaths, I smiled and said, "You're right!"
With that, I made a silent gesture to her.
Considering that there are still people in the front yard, there are several practitioners in the main hall.
The conversation between the two of us avoided the people in the front hall.
She made a gesture to close her mouth in understanding, and looked a little cute.
I was thinking that the people in the front yard might not recognize me and her, but they were just passers-by on the road, and there was no need to worry about whether the strangers who took refuge in the rain at the mountain temple were men or women.
Anyway, she and I look harmless, and it's not enough to make people vigilant.
It has nothing to do with them!
Besides, they sent us all to the backyard, didn't they?
The two of them were in a pile to confirm their identities, and they got together just enough to talk while the rain didn't stop.
It doesn't feel bad to be able to come to such a small partner, and it looks similar after dressing up, which makes people feel a little kind. "Hey, I say, what's your name?" She looked at me again and asked. "Well, my name is Kobayashi."
I hesitated, but I still used the pseudonym that they misunderstood in Yuwen's house.
Yuanbao and Adele all understand it so well, so they should be wrong! "Which word?" Her eyes lit up and she stared at me and asked.
I gestured with my hand, and she said in a cheerful tone, "Xiaolin, you have the same name as my brother." ”
"So coincidentally?" I opened my mouth wide in surprise again, can I just use a pseudonym? Could it be homophony?
She read my expression and smiled at me, "My brother and I are twin siblings, and he just came out a little before me. ”
"So, what's your name?"
"My name is Wu Yu, and my brother's name is Wu Lin."
Hearing this, I immediately looked at her in amazement and asked, "With this name, does your brother know kung fu?" ”
She snorted and laughed: "Xiao Lin, he can, but he can only do some three-legged cat kung fu." ”
"Hey, that's such a mighty name."
I was slightly stunned, my expression instantly became a little subtle, and then I said in a tone of emotion, "Your brother's name is like that, he should be a peerless master!" ”
"Not really!" She covered her mouth and laughed, leaning closer to my ear and whispering, "I agree."
"Are you going to Suzhou City?"
I'm also a little curious about this new guy.
Because in my concept, since she said that she came from Nanhua Town, most of them planned to go in the direction of Suzhou.
At this time, there are many more people going south than going north, and there will definitely be more after the war in the north officially starts.
"That's right, I'm going to go to Suzhou, and then take a boat south to find my father." She looked at me seriously and said, "My dad is south of Sealand." Been going for months. ”
"Then why don't you go all the way with your brother?"
I turned my head to look at her, a little puzzled.
I think it's a little strange for her to go south alone at the moment, and other people would ask the same question.
"My brother went south to find my father. "Gone," she said, snapping her fingers, "It's been almost a month." ”
"Originally, I planned to stay at home and wait for them to come back for the New Year, but unfortunately now Nanhua Town can't stay."
She shook her hand gently at her side and looked at me.
"You don't have any other relatives at home?" I asked.
"Well, my mother died of illness a few years ago," her eyes darkened slightly. Then he looked at me and said, "It's just my dad and my brother and sister who live together." ”
Now, both members of the family went to West Lannan. I'm the only one left in the house. ”
She spoke clearly, her eyes were always looking at me, and her gaze was clear.
It's easy to let down your guard when you're being watched by such a pair of eyes. I guess she feels the same way about me. "You don't stay at home and wait for them to come back. Why is that? Isn't it?"
I guess it wasn't because of the tense situation in the Northlands that she left early?
The war in the Northland is easy to associate with that.
"Nanhua Town recently posted a notice to recruit soldiers to go to the north to fight."
Wu Yu turned her head to look behind her, there was no movement in the front yard, and then she turned her head to look at me and said, "Xiaolin, I won't hide it from you." My dad was the doctor in town. "There's a quota, and he's gone. I'm going to get my brother there. ”
Oh, it's peers! In an instant, I watched her and my heart moved.
"I wrote a letter to my father in the south of Zealand, telling him that I was going south too."
She said in a melancholy tone: "The sword has no eyes on the battlefield." “
For a moment the atmosphere was a little dreary, and I sighed, staring at the opposite wall for a long time without making a sound.
Wu Yu said in a low voice: "The Northland Battlefield - it's dangerous!"
Hearing this, I looked at her and nodded subconsciously.
"The quota is going to fall on my family, but where did I come from," she said depressedly, "I'm afraid that they will arrest me and make up the numbers, and I'm worried day and night." ”
"If you think about it, it's better to run away early, so as not to cause a disaster."
With this explanation, I finally understood the cause and effect.
But when I left Suzhou, I didn't hear any wind.
How could there be a message of conscription in Nanhua, a small town further north from Suzhou?
It stands to reason that shouldn't it be the government office in Suzhou that made the first move?
I frowned and thought about it, and told her about my confusion.
In my opinion, this is something that only she knows better when she is in Nanhua Town.
It's just that I haven't arrived in the town yet, so I have no way of knowing!
"Xiaoyu, I'm from Suzhou," I looked at her and said honestly, "There is no movement in Suzhou at all." "I went to the city gate yesterday," I patted my head, "no, I also walked through the city gate this morning, and I didn't see any notice from the government." “
If there was a notice, several city gates would be posted, and the Yuwen family's house would have spread long ago! That's a big deal!
I paused and asked, "Xiaoyu, why did you say that there was news of conscription in Nanhua Town first?" ”
"You don't know this, I heard from the people in the town," she leaned closer to me and lowered her voice, "Wang Shi didn't enter Suzhou, he came directly to Nanhua Town. ”
The news is coming to this! I looked at her speechless, dumbfounded.
"It is estimated that the government over there heard the voice first, so in order to curry favor with the superiors, they are preparing for conscription in advance."
"They're positive." I lowered my eyelashes and muttered.
After a while, I looked at Wu Yu and looked at her face closely, as if she had also wiped something.
"What do you put on your face?" My heart jumped, I thought of a possibility, and immediately whispered to her.
"This is an exclusive secret ingredient."
Wu Yu stretched out his hand and wiped it on his face a few times, looked at me and said in a smug tone, "In the past, when my father was dispensing medicine, I was playing around with it, and I accidentally got a medicinal juice. ”
"I tried it on the back of my hand first, and as soon as I applied it, it changed color."
Wu Yu gestured with me for a moment, and continued, "I thought about whether I could try it on my face, but after I applied it, my face looked gray, and I didn't look at it." ”
"This time I went out on the road, thinking that there was a mess outside, and maybe I would have to live in the wilderness."
She glanced into the courtyard, retracted her gaze and said, "I don't think it's good to think about it, I always have to dress myself up, I'm afraid you will understand." ”
Wu Yu winked at me, and I nodded knowingly, "That's the truth." ”
When girls walk outside, it is inconvenient, and necessary protection is indispensable. "The potion you made can still be waterproof?" I asked in amazement.
It seems that the crooked fight is right, the wisdom is in the people!
This person is still a talent in front of him! "The light rain can't be washed away, am I not wearing a robe? Heavy rain may wash away. “
I also have questions about this: "Will you recognize the weather and know that it is going to rain when you go out today?" ”
Her coat must have been worn from home early in the morning, otherwise where would she buy it halfway through?
"Well, looking at the bad weather in the morning, the general one can still be recognized, and it is estimated that there will be rain in the middle of the road, so I wore one."
"After wearing it, it looks a little bigger."
Wu Yu thought about it and replied to me: "Anyway, as long as you are careful, it is not a big problem." "The rain fell halfway, and it got heavier and heavier, and I couldn't stop it with my clothes, so I had to find a place to shelter from the rain." "Hey, Xiaolin, what about you?"
She leaned closer to see my face and began to exchange ideas with me. "It's similar to you, it's a potion made up of foolishness," I said, glancing at her, "smearing a little bit, just to be safe." “
I stopped the conversation and shifted my focus to another thing she had just mentioned.
"You said that Nanhua Town is not very peaceful, and it is a matter of conscription?"
"Can I still go over then?" I also want to hear the opinions of others, especially Wu Yu is still from Nanhua Town, and I want to hear what she has to say.
If there is chaos over there first, the matter of going to Nanhua Town will make my heart beat a drum!
I thought, should I change the route and simply bypass Nanhua Town and go to the next stop?
Thinking about the big battle of Wang Shi, he would directly bypass Suzhou out of some inside information that I don't know.
I'm going north alone, and I always have to make sure I'm safe before I can continue to do what I want to do!
For a while, my heart was a little confused, one thought after another.
"It's okay, don't panic," Wu Yu seemed to guess what was on my mind, reached out and patted me on the shoulder, pursed his lips and comforted me, "You just need to be careful!" "My family is different from others, because it occupies a quota."
"The rest of the town, although there are also people who run away because of conscription, but they are very few, and most of them are still living as usual in the town."
"Trust me," she said, patting her chest, "not to the point of grabbing one in the street and grabbing one and leaving." ”
"Oh, then I'm relieved." I leaned back, looked at her and breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm really afraid that someone will be arrested and taken to the army as soon as I get to the street!" (To be continued.) )
