Chapter 2: Hanjiao (2)
Bai Yutong really couldn't find any words to describe his mood at the moment, as if the computer's scan results were not matched.
In fact, it is really difficult for anyone in the world to describe his mood at this time, only if you have experienced it yourself, you will understand, that feeling of being in a desperate situation is great.
Raindrop shouted in surprise: "Bai Yutong, look ahead! It's a house!"
Bai Yutong heard her voice, raised his lowered head with difficulty, and looked ahead. There is a secluded valley surrounded by green hills, and a calm river passes through it, and on both sides of the river are small villages with stone-trimmed houses, and many of the chimneys of houses smoke smoke into the air.
"Then let's go quickly, maybe we can have a hot meal......" Bai Yutong said excitedly.
"What is a hot meal?" the rain was puzzled.
"It's just looking for someone else to eat, just like I'm looking for you to eat, let's go!" Bai Yutong took the lead in running.
"Oooh!" the raindrops chased after him, and his steps were light.
Bai Yutong found a family closer to him and knocked on the wooden door that was a little hidden, "Is anyone there?"
"Who!" a squirming voice came from inside, and an uncle wrapped in a white turban, wearing shorts, and a naked upper body opened the door, "Who are you?"
The uncle looked at the two people in gorgeous costumes in front of him from top to bottom.
"The two of us are brother and sister, we haven't eaten for several days because we got lost, can you give us something to eat?" Bai Yutong showed a difficult expression.
Hehe...... Bai Yutong has grown from a small age, and the accumulated cheek is called a thick one, and it is not easy to deal with a middle-aged uncle?
The raindrops were shivering behind Bai Yutong's back, grabbing the corners of his clothes tightly, and peeking at the uncle in front of him.
She was scared of life.
The uncle looked at the box that Bai Yutong held on his waist with his right hand, and then looked at the raindrops behind him, and then said, "Come in first!"
"Thank you, uncle. Bai Yutong bowed.
"Eat slowly, eat slowly!" the uncle greeted the two people at the table warmly.
"Uncle mud (your) is really good to kick (dish) this wing (eat)......" Bai Yutong devoured, spit out slurred words in his mouth, he hadn't eaten rice for a long time, although the dish was simple, he still ate it to the fullest.
It turns out that some people in the other world also say Chinese, eat rice, and love ...... Why does that uncle keep staring at the raindrops? This is not good! Bai Yutong's heart exploded, and he hurriedly looked at the raindrops, and couldn't help but be stunned.
Raindrop fiddled with her chopsticks without saying a word, and she held the two chopsticks in her hands as if she was holding a javelin ready to throw. She poked the greens on the plate with her chopsticks, but she didn't hit a single piece of greens. Finally, she lost her patience and put down her chopsticks, grabbed a boiled sweet potato and nibbled on it in small bites.
The uncle looked at it silently, "Doesn't this girl know how to use chopsticks?"
Seeing this, Bai Yutong secretly screamed in his heart that something bad was wrong, and he didn't know that Yudi couldn't use chopsticks, but he had to hide that Yudi couldn't use chopsticks.
After laughing dryly, he hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks, then picked up the raindrop chopsticks and bowls, sandwiched a piece of green vegetables and said to her, "Open your mouth, ah......"
Yudi obediently put down the sweet potato in her hand, opened her mouth slightly, and took a bite of the green vegetables that Bai Yutong fed her, and her cheeks were bulging very cute.
Seeing her satisfied look, Bai Yutong breathed a sigh of relief, he scratched his head, and said embarrassedly: "My sister has been pampered since she was a child, she doesn't know how to use chopsticks, she uses a spoon, hahahaha......"
Bai Yutong thought to himself: It's good to tell the rain not to talk in advance, otherwise it will be difficult to explain, and what I am most afraid of is change.
"I see, by the way, I don't even know your name!" the uncle asked enthusiastically.
"My name is Bai Yutong, and my sister's name is Bai Yudian. What do you call Uncle?" After saying that, he fed Yudi another mouthful of food.
"Just call me Uncle He. ”
"Alright then, Uncle River. ”
"Uncle He, we want to go to the big city, but we can't find the way. ”
"Well, go down the river to the town, and then take a boat from the town...... Alas, I'm pretty much the only one to stay in this mountain for the rest of my life......"
"How can it be, Uncle He, don't say that, you're still young......"
"You kid has such a sweet mouth......"
At noon the next day, the sun was just overhead, like a light bulb, Bai Yutong walked leisurely on the road, gnawing on a roasted sweet potato that had been cooled with relish in his mouth, and a blue package hanging from his hand, which contained the roasted sweet potato given to him by his uncle.
The raindrops in front of her were bouncing as always, and the uncle gave her a beautiful wooden hairpin before leaving, and the hairpin was carved with a cute lark.
Raindrop was so happy that she almost cried when she received the gift.
They left the village the next morning, and it had been half a day now, and when they left, Uncle He gave them two catties of roasted sweet potatoes, saying that they would stay on the road to eat.
Uncle River is such a warm-hearted and nice person!
According to Uncle He's advice, after this rice field, it should not be far from the town, and it will take almost four hours to walk. Bai Yutong didn't know where to go when he got to the town, whether he was working or eating?
What should the raindrops do with all that? That's what he's most worried about - let her continue to follow him and be a wandering couple? No, no, no, so Joanna will blow his dog's head with a hammer, don't even think about it!
Confusion crept into his mind, like someone poured a small bag of cement into his ear, and the cement that flowed in filled his poor brain volume.
Bai Yutong only felt that his head was big for a while.
The raindrops walked beside him, turning his head slightly from time to time and secretly observing Bai Yutong munching on roasted sweet potatoes with the corner of his eye.
But this girl didn't seem to want Bai Yutong to find out that she was peeping at him, and every time Bai Yutong turned her head to look at her, she would quickly turn back to look at the road ahead, putting on a nonchalant expression.
It's really clumsy acting, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that all that is written on her pretty face is 'I want to know what's wrong with you'.
"Are you hungry?" Bai Yutong stopped, then handed the bag of roasted sweet potatoes to Yudi, and motioned for her to take it herself.
After saying "oh", Yudi picked a small baked sweet potato in it, held it in his hand and ate it in small bites.
"It's the first time I've seen so many people. Raindrop whispered, sounding a bit like a complaint.
What she meant was that there were a lot of villagers in the village.
"Actually, those people are quite few! You can see countless people on the street, and it's very lively...... He recalled the previous flag-raising ceremony, with the red flag fluttering high, the red scarf on his chest fluttering slightly in the wind, and thousands of people singing the national anthem in unison.
If that's the case, the raindrops will probably be scared to cry, right? Bai Yutong thought, although the combat power of the female version of Bell Grylls is 99+, her social skills are definitely in the single digits.
Hearing Bai Yutong say this, Yudi's expression really became ugly, and she didn't know what she was making up in her head.
"But don't worry, I'm not here! If it weren't for Bai Yutong carrying a big bag and a small bag, he would have patted his chest with his hand to ensure it.
Hearing Bai Yutong say this, Yudi smiled reassuringly.
"Hmm!" she said.
What a simple girl - Bai Yutong looked at her innocent smile and couldn't help but wonder if she sold her, would she still be stupid enough to count her money?
Thinking of the money, Bai Yutong handed the package in his hand to Yudi, and commanded, "Yudi, help me get this." ”
"Oh good. Yudi obediently agreed, then took the package and hugged it to her chest, she watched intently at the movements of Bai Yutong's hand.
"I'll take a look...... Bai Yutong took out a wad of money from his pocket that the villagers had given them together.
He opened the first coin and looked closely: the surface of the note was wrinkled, the corners were slightly yellowed, and in the center was a pattern of a four-square grid layout, among which there was an image that looked like a clock, a crescent moon with starlight, a sun with two halos, and four strange animal heads.
Next to the four-square grid is a flower base with dark lines, and a 10 is written in Arabic numerals. On the back of the banknote is a huge palace floating on the water, surrounded by six fortress-like structures, and on each side of the palace gate stand three armored soldiers with delicate swords, all of whom move in different ways. In the lower right corner of the banknote is a blue quadrangular rune that Bai Yutong cannot read.
Bai Yutong opened the pile of banknotes one by one, and then mentally added the face value of all the banknotes together, which was exactly one hundred and forty yuan.
Raindrops looked at him blankly.
"What is this?" Yudi was puzzled, she did see the villagers handing this thin thing to Bai Yutong, but she didn't think it seemed to be a useful thing.
"It's called banknotes. Bai Yutong replied without raising his head.
"What are you doing with the money?" asked Raindrop, curious.
"Hmm......" Bai Yutong thought for a moment, "It can be used to buy snacks and bags, hmm...... You can also buy a house, buy insurance, buy a car......"
He gushed on.
Yudi was a little embarrassed, because she didn't understand most of what Bai Yutong said, and she had a sense of guilt that she had failed his kindness.
In order to get rid of the guilt, Raindrop can only keep asking questions that he doesn't understand.
"Oh, I see!"
"That's good......" Bai Yutong cast an approving glance at her.
"And what is that street......
"The street is the ......"
“...... It's called a clothing store. ”
"Oh, I see......"
......
"You think, if you use it to pull things, wouldn't people have to be so tired?"
"Oh! It turns out that the car can still transport goods...... You're amazing, you know everything......"
......
Bai Yutong was explaining with relish 'what is cosmetics', Raindrop looked at his face, and in her eyes, Bai Yutong's movements slowed down, and all the details of the man's face were imprinted in her mind, including the food scraps at the corners of his mouth, and the dull hair on the top of his head.
A gust of wind blew through the rice fields, forming golden waves, gently rippling in the heart of the raindrops, and at this moment, the girl's mood turned into a delicate pink.
Bai Yutong noticed the strange gaze of the raindrops, and his mouth that kept opening and closing gradually became silent.
The eyes of the raindrops seem to be ...... When have you seen it? Bai Yutong suddenly remembered that there were some important things that he had forgotten and forgot on the rooftop at night.
At this time, the raindrops rushed into Bai Yutong's arms without warning, and she buried her head deep in his warm chest, as if she was coquettish.
Bai Yutong's pupils suddenly dilated, and a fragment flashed in his mind:
Under the night sky, a pair of young people sat side by side on chairs in the park, one sitting in a restrained position, the other sitting comfortably, and the two of them looked up at the stars.
The faces of both men were blurred in the night, and it looked like a mosaic.
One of the young men said softly, "Take her to see the fireworks!" If fireworks can't bloom in a girl's eyes, then what kind of fireworks are they? You might as well go and play artillery alone!"
"It's beautiful...... Why did you think of taking me to Bodhi Mountain to watch the sunset?"
"Because the sunset is every day......" The young man turned his head to look at the girl, and his black back looked particularly monotonous in the sunset.
"It's so profound, I don't understand it, are you telling me to cherish what I mean now?" the girl laughed.
"Maybe!" thought to the boy silently, because fireworks don't happen every day, and I just want your heart to belong to me every day at dusk......
The picture came to an abrupt end, Bai Yutong's brain exploded, and he desperately wanted to recall what happened later, but his memory was like a broken videotape, and the stuttered progress bar couldn't be played.
The stone monument on the side of the road is engraved with the word "Tongyi" in white.
Finally arrived in town! Bai Yutong wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, it was a kind of excitement that had gone through nine hundred and eighty-one difficulties to obtain the true scriptures.
Uncle He said that there is a Tongyi tavern in the town, you can stay in it for one night and then go on the road, a room is about thirty yuan a night, and he doesn't know the specific situation.
Although it was evening, there were many people on the streets, and the market was very crowded.
"Follow me, don't get lost. Bai Yutong told the raindrops.
"Got it!" Raindrop looked around, shrunk behind Bai Yutong, and replied timidly.
Uncle He and Bai Yutong said that the town is mainly engaged in transportation work, and Tongyi is a relatively small port in the transportation line of Tongjiang. There is a big port called Hanjiao in the downstream of Tongyi, which is the place where the Tongjiang River and the Hanjiang River meet, and it takes about three days to take the land route from the town to Hanjiao, and the waterway is only about one and a half days, and the city does meet the requirements of Bai Yutong.
"Bai Yutong, look, is that the lamp!" Raindrop's eyes shone brightly.
Originally...... Is this what he said about the lamp? It's really beautiful! It's like a star hanging on a tree, a red star!
"Well, yes. Bai Yutong didn't reply.
The street was very lively, as if it was celebrating some kind of festival, and the lights were bright, but Bai Yutong didn't care about it so much, he just wanted to get into the quilt and rest quickly.
Bai Yutong stood on tiptoe and looked left and right, looking for the Tongyi Tavern that Uncle He said.
The raindrop pulled the corner of his clothes behind him, stumbling and walking, as long as she met the strange eyes around her, she would immediately lower her head and look at Bai Yutong's heels, like a frightened bird.
"I've found it!" Bai Yutong cried out happily.
"Where?"
"Over there, let's go. Bai Yutong pulled her and ran.
This is a hotel-style hotel, which is equivalent to a combination of a restaurant and a hotel, and at this time there are few vacant seats in the store, listening to the noise in the store, the raindrops can't help but grasp the corner of Bai Yutong's clothes.
"Boss, is there any room available here?" Bai Yutong asked impatiently.
The young man at the counter seemed embarrassed, "There are still rooms, but I'm not the boss, I'm just a guy in the store!"
"I'm sorry, then open me a room!" Bai Yutong scratched his head and let out an embarrassed laugh.
"Single room?" the guy at the counter looked at the girl hiding behind Bai Yutong.
"Well, yes. Bai Yutong didn't care about his gaze, and then took out thirty yuan from his bag and slapped it on the counter, "This is the room fee." ”
The young man collected the money and said politely: "This is the key to room 202, please go upstairs." ”
"Uh-huh. Bai Yutong pulled the raindrops and climbed the stairs next to him.
Raindrop's face was amazed, she had never seen a staircase.
The young man at the counter looked at the two people who went upstairs with an envious expression, he sighed briskly, and turned back to receive the customer who had just walked in, "Yo, how many guest officers are there?"
Bai Yutong dragged his heavy body into room 202, which was not very large, almost only twenty square meters.
He stuffed himself and Raindrop's contents under the bed and hid them, and then poured himself and Raindrop a glass of water to drink.
Yudi looked at the ceramics he had never seen before, and his mood was agitated.
"It's so beautiful, what is it?"
"Water glasses. ”
"It's beautiful......," she added.
Bai Yutong suddenly remembered when his grandfather took a plane for the first time.
"Mom, it's so luxurious!Ah Yue, how much does this cost?" The old man looked at the plane in the distance, and his voice couldn't stop trembling.
"Dad, let's come out to enjoy it, don't talk about money......"
Before Bai Yutong could rest and feel comfortable, he heard a knock on the door, "Does ......the guest officer want to take a bath?"
Bai Yutong glanced at the raindrops, "Okay, I'll be here soon." ”
He thought that neither he nor the rain would use the bathhouse, so he decided to find out for himself.
"Wait here for me to come up, don't wander around, do you hear?"
"Yes, I see!" Raindrop nodded obediently.
Bai Yutong silently packed up a change of clothes, and then left with the clerk.
Ten minutes later, Bai Yutong walked in with wet hair, holding the changed clothes in his hand, and he changed into a blue suit.
Bai Yutong kept telling Yudi what to pay attention to when she entered the bathhouse, but she just nodded obediently, and she didn't know if she listened to it.
Unknowingly, Bai Yutong had already sent the raindrops to the door of the bathhouse downstairs. He looked at the raindrops worriedly, "Come in! call my name if there's something, and I'm right outside the door." ”
"Oh good. Yudi walked into the women's bathhouse with her clothes in her arms.
At this time, a woman with a bloated face came out of the women's bathhouse, she looked back at the back of the raindrop, and then looked at the boy at the door, "Young man, is that your girlfriend?"
"No, she's my sister. Bai Yutong was cheeky and lied.
"It's beautiful, you're so gentle with you. ”
"Thank you. ”
"You're so handsome, are you interested in being my son-in-law?"
"Huh?"
Twenty minutes later, the rain with wet hair came out. Her face and skin soaked in hot water were flushed, as if she had been smeared with a thick layer of foundation.
Seeing Bai Yutong, Yuxiao's eyes became active, she opened her arms and happily threw herself at Bai Yutong, and the dirty clothes she was holding in her hands were scattered all over the ground.
Until Yudi wrapped her hands around Bai Yutong's neck and wrapped her legs around his waist, he didn't understand why she would make such a move.
It's a bit like a child's action, she unguardedly entrusts the weight of her whole person to you, and the indescribable sense of closeness, trust, and dependence bursts all over her body.
Bai Yutong seemed to be infected by that clarity, his head was empty, his eyes were closed, and his hands were unconsciously wrapped around the back of the raindrop, getting tighter and tighter.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here. He whispered.
"Uh-huh......" Raindrop buried her head in his shoulder.
At this moment the bloated woman came down from the upper floor.
"Where is the toilet...... Side...... What are you doing?"
