The night is quiet and the breeze is light. www.biquge.info On both sides of the long snake road, in the green grass, the sound of insects chirps one after another, like a string of light songs, floating in the evening breeze.

On the other side of the road, the sound of horses' hooves was like a slow beat, and the rhythm of the "squeak" on the side of the road was endless.

a horse, with light hooves, strolling on a gravel road; The figure gradually became clear from far to near.

There was also a young man and a woman on horseback.

The girl in front of her, with her hands tightly wrapped around the horse's neck, buried her head deep in the horse's mane, looked like she was asleep and did not wake up.

The young man in the back, with his handsome face leaning on the girl's back; On the edge of the closed eyes, faintly visible crystal faint marks; The eyelids that flutter lightly from time to time bring up the sword eyebrows and swing with the wind; Occasionally, the corners of his mouth are slightly upturned, and a warm smile is splashed one after another; It's as if indulging in some good memory.

The two long shadows under the bright moon are tightly together, as if they will never be separated.

……

The breeze brushed the tip of the nose, bringing a burst of fragrance, like the smell of flowers and plants.

Ling Yueyuan's nose moved lightly a few times, slowly opened his eyes, straightened his body, raised his hand and gently wiped his eye sockets, looked around, and suddenly felt that his eyes were suddenly bright.

The original winding road gradually became wider and straighter, and the grasslands on both sides of the road were thousands of acres. Different from the oppressive aura he felt when he crossed the mountains and woodlands before, the air here was fresh and gentle, causing Ling Yueyuan to the tip of his nose and inhale and inhale vigorously, but he still had an unfinished look.

In the foreground on the right, patches of lush grass mixed with wildflowers of different colors dance in unison in the breeze, like a sea of emerald green surging waves.

Driving the horse along the road, his eyes swept over the top of the waves on the right, and Ling Yueyuan looked into the distance, and couldn't help but light up

In the distance, the mountains under the night are majestic and continuous; A fold of river water under the shadow of the peak, meandering through; At the moon-eyebrow-shaped river bay, you can vaguely see the starlight emitted by the villages and towns near the mountains and rivers.

Finally saw a place to rest. Ling Yueyuan exhaled a long breath, and her spirit also became vibrant.

After a little further on, the avenue gradually branched off into a path, and crawled zigzag towards the distant town.

Small dirt road, narrow, crooked and a little muddy. When Ling Yueyuan saw it, her eyebrows frowned, and after thinking for a while, she first grabbed the reins of the horse, and then raised her hand and patted Lin Xinyin's shoulder: "Xiaoyin? Wake up......"

slapped several times in a row, but the other party did not react at all.

…… I slept really hard. However, it doesn't matter, what you have is the means. Ling Yueyuan laughed and stuck out her tongue, stretched out two fingers to pick up a filament of Lin Xinyin, let the tip of her hair drill straight into the other party's ear, and at the same time leaned close to her head and whispered: "Wake up, ......"

Unexpectedly, the effect is really significant. Just scratched his ears slightly, Lin Xinyin shook the back of her head, her shoulders shook, and a whisper sounded softly: "Uh-huh......"

Hearing this, Ling Yueyuan was surprised: This guy ...... When did the ears become so sensitive ......?

Slowly, Lin Xinyin let go of her hands and straightened her waist; His eyes swept the floor blankly, looked at the sky, stared at the endless starry sky and muttered.

"It's not dawn yet......"

Ling Yueyuan listened to this and smiled: "Hey...... Are you sleeping? It's just getting late. ”

"Oh......" Lin Xinyin scratched her head and pouted, but there was still heavy sleepiness in the corners of her eyes.

Ling Yueyuan looked at the other party's appearance of not waking up, and it was a joy again, but she had a little regret in her heart: just now she wanted to use the tip of her hair to drill Lin Xinyin's nose? I didn't expect her to wake up quite quickly!

But that's fine. Anyway, there will be opportunities in the future...... Hey! Thinking of this, Ling Yueyuan snickered a few more times.

……

I don't know if it was because of the sudden gust of wind blowing in front of her, or because of the gloomy laughter behind her, Lin Xinyin's body trembled subconsciously, and the sleepiness suddenly dissipated a little bit.

Twisting his neck, moving his still somewhat drowsy head, and yawning deeply, his spirit finally recovered a lot.

After scanning the surroundings again, and seeing the lights of the town in the distance, Lin Xinyin's eyes suddenly flashed; When I looked at the small dirt road nearby, I was slightly stunned.

"The road is really bad...... Let's get off the horse and go. After Lin Xinyin thought about it for a while, she was about to turn over and dismount, but she forgot that she still had a foot injury.

"Hey, don't." Ling Yueyuan stretched out her hand and pressed Lin Xinyin's body, she got off the horse one step first, walked to the horse in two steps, and after holding the reins of the horse, she turned around and said with a smile: "I'll lead the horse, just sit down." ”

"Don't sleep anymore, be careful of falling off the horse, hey." After taking Xiao Huang and taking a few steps. Ling Yueyuan added.

……

Lin Xinyin opened her mouth and was stunned for a while, before she came back to her senses.

It's a little unaccustomed to being taken care of like this. However, on second thought: if your foot injury has not healed, it is better not to be reckless; If you sprain again on this dirt path, it will be even more troublesome later.

So, Lin Xinyin smiled, rode on the back of the horse with peace of mind, and leisurely watched the surrounding scenery.

The grass is all over the field, and the fragrance is overflowing; The air was still scented from the heavy rain in the early morning, and it felt very fresh.

However, there is always a chill wrapped around my back, and I don't know what's going on.

When the wind blows, the back of the placket is close to the skin, and the coolness is even worse.

Lin Xinyin couldn't help but lower her head and reached out to grope behind her back. Suddenly, there was a half-wet sensation at my fingertips.

……？！？！

"Small, Xiaoyuan......" Lin Xinyin was stunned for a while, then raised her head and snorted softly.

"What?" Ling Yueyuan looked back, but saw Lin Xinyin with one hand on her back and a sad face; Suddenly, his cheeks were slightly red, he turned his head slightly, and repeated in a somewhat flustered tone: "What...... What's ......?"

…… Looking at Ling Yueyuan's expression as if she had done something embarrassing and was caught, Lin Xinyin almost burst out happy, and suddenly frowned and relaxed, and then smiled: "...... The road is slippery, beware of falling. ”

"Well, I know......" Ling Yueyuan, who was still walking with his chest up just now, unconsciously lowered his head, and even his steps slowed down.

"Heh......" Seeing this, Lin Xinyin laughed softly, and thought to herself: Forget it...... It's not the first time it's been like this, anyway.

When I was a child before, I walked with the tired Ling Yueyuan on my back several times, and the other party not only fell asleep, but also ...... He also left a puddle of saliva on his back placket.

But...... Now that they're all so big, will they still be like this......?

Lin Xinyin scratched her head, a little confused.

accidentally thought of something other interesting, Lin Xinyin laughed happily again.

Ling Yueyuan listened to the chuckle that sounded from time to time behind her, and suddenly her head hung lower, and the red clouds on her face burned even more.

After walking for a while, the grass around me grew denser and taller, almost submerging the path.

Seeing this, Lin Xinyin wondered for a while: How could this path be so remote, and at the end of the difficult road, is it a small village and town that is inaccessible ......?

……

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

After walking for another half an hour, the two finally entered the town.

At the entrance to the town is a large threshing field in Nuoda; At the edge of the site, a number of trees of various sizes stand sparsely; There are only a dozen households near the shade of the trees.

Looking over the house, and looking further, you can see the mysterious and beautiful green mountains and green waters under the night.

Ling Yueyuan had stopped at this time, grabbed the reins of the horse with his right hand, waved his head and looked around curiously, then turned to look at Lin Xinyin, but his eyes were a little dazed: "This ......"

"Uh......" Lin Xinyin shook her eyebrows, feeling a little strange.

This is Lianping Town? It looks like a sparsely populated village...... Did you really guess it?

Moreover, everywhere you look, there are all residents. It seems that there is not even an inn here.

Lin Xinyin estimated in her heart: herself and Ling Yueyuan started from the cave where they sheltered from the rain in the afternoon, and when they arrived in this town, the night was not dark. When he escaped from Qujiang City in the early morning, the period of time he passed out in a coma should not be very long. From this point of view, it will not be very far from Qujiang. Ruoyun and Youyou, even if they leave later, they should have arrived at this time, but ......

Now, on this empty sand field, there are only himself, Ling Yueyuan and Xiao Huang, and the two of them are just a horse.

It's terrible. At that time, I said goodbye in Qujiang in a hurry, but I didn't say any contact information, how can I do it now?

Don't...... Can only wait? Lin Xinyin thought about it again, but there was really no other way, so she had to look at Ling Yueyuan helplessly: "We ...... Wait a little longer? ”

"Hmm......" Ling Yueyuan glanced around and nodded, "Okay." ”

……

The night is getting dark. In Lin Xinyin's eyes staring at the entrance of the town, the color of anxiety gradually deepened.

How long has it been? So far, there has been no movement. The grass next to the intersection shook gently, as if at this moment, only the wind would enter the town again.

The coolness brought by the breeze poured into my heart one after another. Suddenly, the sea of hearts was stirring.

Could it be ...... Ruoyun and they...... What went wrong? Lin Xinyin's body trembled suddenly.

The slightest fear, like a vine, crept into my heart.

The original elegant scenery has changed at this moment. Under this cold moonlight, on the unfamiliar battlefield, looking around, there is no familiar atmosphere. Suddenly, a feeling of bewilderment and dazedness surged violently, almost engulfing itself.

Fortunately...... I'm not alone.

Thinking of this, Lin Xinyin's heart felt a little warmer. After breathing a sigh of relief, he looked forward, only to see Ling Yueyuan, who was still holding the reins of the horse, changing his feet back and forth a little anxiously.

…… It seems like I've been a little too long. So, Lin Xinyin hurriedly called and said, "Xiaoyuan, you get on the horse." ”

"Huh?" Ling Yueyuan was slightly stunned, then stopped, straightened her chest, and stood up straight again: "Well, it's okay, I'm not tired." ”

…… Poof, and recklessly. After Lin Xinyin smiled faintly, she began to worry in her heart: It is not a way to wait like this......

After a while, the bright moon on the horizon has quietly changed positions; Ling Yueyuan under the moon stood very straight, like a statue.

"It's better to ...... Make a fire? Suddenly, Ling Yueyuan thought of Chi Yan again, and her emotions suddenly became excited: "This is much more conspicuous, and it is much easier for them to discover us." ”

"Uh......?" Lin Xinyin thought about it for a while, but felt that it was very inappropriate: "It's not good to be too conspicuous...... If someone else finds out about us first, it's going to be a problem. ”

"Hmm...... That's ......" Ling Yueyuan was immediately deflated when she heard this. After his eyes swept in all directions boringly, he returned to the entrance of the town, and after being stunned for a while, he said without worry: "However, this town is such an entrance, no matter who you are, as soon as you enter, you will find us ......."

Indeed it is. Lin Xinyin didn't feel anything bad before, but now, as time passed quietly, the uneasiness in her heart began to slowly intensify. If...... The people who came to this town first were not Ruoyun and Youyou, but other masters of Piaoyunju, wouldn't that be a catastrophe? Although now that he and Ling Yueyuan have means of self-preservation, it is better to be cautious!

After glancing at the people in the distance, Lin Xinyin proposed: "Then, let's go to the front and find a family to spend the night in, okay?" ”

"Okay." Ling Yueyuan replied briskly, and after raising his foot and stomping on the ground a few times, he led the horse forward and walked briskly, as if he couldn't ask for it.

Seeing this, Lin Xinyin said apologetically: "Xiaoyuan...... Are your feet sore......? ”

"Well, it's just a little numb." Ling Yueyuan replied casually: "Just take a few steps." As soon as he finished speaking, he cocked his heels and knocked on the ground.

Three steps and one knock. made Lin Xinyin laugh when she saw it.

"Huh."

"Hmph."

……

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

"That's it." After stepping past a few houses, Lin Xinyin took a fancy to a hut in front of her.

It's actually just an ordinary farmhouse with gray walls, dirt tiles, wooden windows and doors. However, it is in a good location, with doors and windows facing the entrance of the town, only a grain floor in between, and no trees around the house to block the view, which is an excellent monitoring point.

After Ling Yueyuan replied "um", he approached the door of the hut.

Before knocking on the door, Ling Yueyuan's gaze skimmed over the right front of the house and let out another "huh".

There, there was a wooden chair. The legs are quite short, but the chair surface is quite long. The chair seemed to be quite old, and the color of the whole body had long been blown by the wind and rain, and only a miserable white remained; At first glance, the crumbling appearance is as straight as an old man in his last years.

Ling Yueyuan glared at him curiously for another time, then he turned his head and raised his hand and knocked lightly on the door.

After a few knocks on the door, an elderly female voice floated out through the crack in the door: "Who......"

After a few moments, the door creaked open, and a middle-aged peasant woman with her hair in a bun appeared.

Ling Yueyuan hurriedly explained his intentions.

Seeing that it was a handsome young man who came to ask for accommodation, the peasant woman's first reaction was to frown. When his gaze crossed Ling Yueyuan, fixed on Lin Xinyin who was riding on horseback, his frowning eyebrows stretched a little: "You are ......?"

"We ...... It's a passing traveler. Lin Xinyin thought for a moment and replied softly. She learned to be obedient this time, and directly filtered the title of "brother and sister": "It's getting late at night, I want to spend the night here with my aunt, let's ...... I'll leave tomorrow. ”

As soon as she said that, Lin Xinyin reached out and groped in her arms, wanting to pay some money for accommodation.

Suddenly, there was some regret in my heart that I said too quickly: I don't think I'll leave tomorrow? You have to wait for Ruoyun and Yoyo in this town, right?

When she took out the small money bag in her arms and looked at it, Lin Xinyin's cheeks suddenly turned red: she was shy in her pocket, and she couldn't take it out! However, in the future, the place where the money will be spent, I am afraid that there will be more miles ......?

"Hmm...... Hmm......" Lin Xinyin hesitated a few times, looked left and right, and found that there was nothing of value on his body. Even, the few sets of clothes he only had were left in Tianxingmen in Qujiang.

That's when she realized the importance of jewelry. Could it be that Xiao Huang can still be detained to others? Don't be funny......

……

The peasant woman looked at the girl on horseback with an embarrassed expression, and roughly understood; After smiling kindly, the three words dispelled the other party's concerns: "It doesn't hurt to stay a few more days." You're welcome, little girl. ”

"Thank you, thank you, auntie......" Lin Xinyin blushed and said a few words, and then turned over and dismounted.

When Ling Yueyuan saw it, she hurriedly approached the horse and gently helped Lin Xinyin to the ground.

"Hmm...... Just call me Aunt Wang. After the peasant woman saw Lin Xinyin's unsteady pace, she asked again: "Little girl, is your foot injured?" ”

"Ah......? Uh-huh, uh-huh......" Lin Xinyin tried to take a few heavy steps, but couldn't help but let out another "ouch".

"Hey, it's okay, I've got some bruises here." Aunt Wang looked at the girl in front of her, with a painful look on her face, and her love and pity suddenly appeared, and she immediately called enthusiastically: "Come in." At the end, he added with a smile: "These bone-setting water is carefully prepared by Master Liu of the Western family, in the past, Aunt Wang and I went up the mountain to pick tea, and accidentally twisted my foot, so I only need to wipe it a few times." ”

After the two thanked them again, Ling Yueyuan took Lin Xinyin and walked into the hut lightly.

……

As soon as they entered the room, Aunt Wang asked the two of them to sit down at the wooden table in the small hall, and then began to hurriedly tidy up the room.

Seeing the other party walking back and forth in a hurry, Lin Xinyin hurriedly said, "Aunt Wang, we only need a small room to live in." She had just glanced inside the house, and there were only two main rooms and a miscellaneous room.

"Ahh When Aunt Wang heard this, she stopped, and after her eyes swept back and forth between Lin Xinyin and Ling Yueyuan, she chuckled and nodded: "Oh, oh, heh, heh." ”

…… Lin Xinyin didn't bother to explain now. After directly smiling faintly, he glanced at Ling Yueyuan again.

Ling Yueyuan just shook her eyebrows, without any opinion.

……

After entertaining a simple peasant dinner, Aunt Wang brought hot tea to the two of them.

"Drink tea, refresh yourself, warm up." Aunt Wang looked at Lin Xinyin with a smile, her eyes full of love. She seems to have a very good impression of this well-behaved and sensible pretty girl.

"Thank you, Aunt Wang." Lin Xinyin took the teacup with both hands, leaned close to her lips, and sucked it gently.

The mellow tea, like a trickle of warm water, slowly slid into the body. Suddenly, it was full of warmth.

In the depths of the silent heart, a long-lost inexplicable emotion quietly swelled up. For a while, it seemed that there were still many plain but happy memories, spreading quietly, slowly surrounding themselves, and making people intoxicated like a spring breeze.

How nice it would be if this familiarity of déjà vu could last forever?

However, there is always a trace of anxiety lingering in my heart.

Lin Xinyin drank a few sips of hot tea, and then looked at the entrance of the town through the window.

The eyes of tax profits can never catch any familiar figures.

Vigilant nerves, not even feeling any hostile breath.

At this time, will anyone else enter the town......?

The grass in the distance was still gently shaking, as if waving its hand to say no.

……

"This tea is so fragrant." After Ling Yueyuan took a few sips, he closed his eyes again and smelled the tea intoxicatedly. The fragrance is so strong that it seems like even the heart will melt.

"That's it." Aunt Wang smiled, with a hint of pride in her tone: "This is a specialty of our Jiangwan Village, Yunwu Tea, which is famous." ”

As soon as the words fell, they resounded in the hearts of Lin Xinyin and Ling Yueyuan like spring thunder.

Jiangwan Yunwu Tea, when I listened to the rain pavilion in Qujiang the day before yesterday, I had seen it but never tasted it. But now, both of them looked at Aunt Wang in surprise, and they had no time to taste the famous tea in their hands anymore.

After leaning a little, Lin Xinyin still didn't give up and wanted to confirm again: "Aunt Wang, this is Jiangwan Village?" ”

"yes, what's wrong?" Aunt Wang was stunned: Jiangwan Village is just a small village, why are these two people so surprised?

"That, that ......" I didn't expect this to be Lianping Town. From the very beginning, my judgment was too preconceived......! At this time, Lin Xinyin's tone was already a little anxious: "How long will it take to get from here to Lianping Town?" Horseback riding? ”

"Horseback riding? Well...... I really don't know. After thinking for a while, Aunt Wang shook her head in embarrassment: "Usually when I go out, I mostly walk to Qujiang, and it only takes half a day to arrive." Lianping Town...... It seems to be on the east side of the Qujiang River......"

Hearing Lin Xinyin, she was a little confused, and she always felt that something was wrong.

Suddenly, an ominous flash of light crossed his mind. So, Lin Xinyin cautiously asked softly: "Jiangwan Village...... Is it ...... on the other side of the Qujiang River? ”

"To the west. It's only a few dozen miles away from Qujiang. ”

Another thunderclap exploded.

Lin Xinyin and Ling Yueyuan looked at each other, but they opened their mouths but were speechless.

Even the teacup in his hand was a little unsteady, and he almost spilled the tea on the table.

Lin Xinyin only came to his senses at this time. I remember that Gu Qiongya said that in the west of the Qujiang River, there will be a fork in the road a few miles away. Now it seems that it must have been when he and Ling Yueyuan were both unconscious in the early morning, and when Xiao Huang crossed the fork, he didn't go north, but ran west......!

But I never doubted the route I took, and even slept leisurely in the afternoon......! Thinking of this, Lin Xinyin was really remorseful.

Ling Yueyuan suddenly let out an "ah" and suddenly realized. He remembered. In the afternoon, when he was hurrying away, he stared blankly at the slow sinking of the sunset ahead; But for such a long time, I never thought that I was heading west!

…… What a fool......! Ling Yueyuan couldn't help but curse herself in her heart. Now he is so depressed that he wants to bite himself.

At this moment, the mood of the two seemed to have fallen from the sky to the ground, and even their heads hung down.

Right now...... But what should I do......?

Disturbed ...... Such as hemp!

……

Seeing that the atmosphere suddenly dropped, Aunt Wang felt very inexplicable, and she didn't know what was going on.

In order to enliven the atmosphere, Aunt Wang began to tell some small anecdotes in the mountains and villages, and slowly made Lin Xinyin and Ling Yueyuan feel energetic.

After a few more pieces of gossip, Aunt Wang glanced at Lin Xinyin a few more fondly, and her eyes showed a few warmth: "The little girl is really handsome, it reminds me of my girl......"

"Huh? Heh......" Lin Xinyin heard this, the corners of her mouth trembled slightly, and she smiled embarrassedly. Beneath that smile, there is a trace of tiredness that is not easy to detect.

"Huh? Aunt Wang...... Do you still have a daughter? Ling Yueyuan asked without thinking. Ever since he entered the house, he had always thought that Aunt Wang was just a woman who lived alone. But......

His eyes swept over the room again, but there was no other popularity. It's getting dark now, and a daughter's family shouldn't stay outside. Ling Yueyuan's heart trembled suddenly: Aunt Wang's daughter, shouldn't she die early?

"Well, she's not here anymore." Aunt Wang sighed softly.

"Huh? Right...... I'm sorry. Ling Yueyuan hurriedly apologized, and at the same time began to blame herself in her heart: why was she so quick just now! I don't want to say it anymore......

"Hi, no, no!" Aunt Wang smiled dumbly, and waved her hand to dispel Ling Yueyuan's misunderstanding: "It's just that the eldest woman should get married, but it's just not here!" ”

…… I see. While Ling Yueyuan breathed a sigh of relief, she said a few words of "heh, heh" a few times with some shame.

After a while, Ling Yueyuan couldn't help but ask the gossip curiously: "That...... Aunt Wang's daughter, where is she now? ”

"My family is like a flower?" Aunt Wang also seemed to be happy that someone was messing with her, and her emotions began to get excited: "She is now with Xiao Xu in the village, she has opened a Fulai Inn in Qingyuan, and I heard that the business is good!" After a pause, he smiled a little complainingly: "However, I haven't been home for several months." This kid, hehe......"

"Like a flower?" Ling Yueyuan drank tea again at this time, but when she heard the name, she almost sprayed her mouthful of tea. After swallowing the tea with difficulty, and finally resisting the urge to burst into laughter on the spot, he couldn't help but sigh with gluten twitching: "What a name......"

"Not really." After Aunt Wang replied happily, she glanced at Lin Xinyin with a smile: "Just like this little girl." My family is like a flower, but it is a flower in the village! ”

…… Oh. After Ling Yueyuan took a sip of tea, she also glanced at Lin Xinyin. This time, he almost sprayed the tea onto Lin Xinyin's face.

"Qingyuan?" Lin Xinyin's attention was elsewhere. His eyebrows twitched, his thoughts moved, and he asked again: "Aunt Wang, Qingyuan...... How far is it from here? ”

"Well......" Aunt Wang thought for a while and said, "This is not as good as going to Qujiang...... It must have been about three days to walk. ”

…… Uh, almost four times as far. After Lin Xinyin silently estimated, she asked again: "Then, can you go to Lianping Town from Qingyuan?" Will it be far? ”

"Yes, yes. The distance should be about the same as that of Qujiang. However......" Aunt Wang was very incomprehensible: "You want to go to Lianping Town, wouldn't it be better to take the road of Qujiang directly?" If you go far away, it is equivalent to a long detour......"

"Hehe......" Lin Xinyin scratched her head, and after thinking for a while, she said, "It's just a little curious." We're travelers, and Qujiang has already been there......"

"Oh......" Aunt Wang nodded somewhat understandingly.

……

After asking about some other details, Lin Xinyin had a rough score in her heart.

To the east of Jiangwan Village is the Qujiang River; Traveling far to the west, you can return to the spring city; If you go to the southeast, you can go to Qingyuan.

Then, with Qingyuan as the center, the southwest is Huadu; To the northeast, you can skip the Qujiang River and directly reach Lianping Town.

Huadu also has another road to the north, which leads directly to the Qujiang River. The day before yesterday, when he and Ling Yueyuan, Ruoyun and Youyou hurried to Qujiang, they took that road.

Thinking of Su Ruoyun and Ye Youyou, Lin Xinyin's heart was shocked again.

Ignorance...... How are they now? Are you still safe......

After calming down, Lin Xinyin calmed down and continued to think.

Now, rushing back to Qujiang and going directly to the east is too risky. Even if you risk returning to that fork, you will have to take a long detour to get to Lianping Town. It's better to go to Qingyuan first, and then rush to Lianping Town, but it's safer.

If you calculate it again, it will only take less than half a day to ride a horse from Qujiang to Jiangwan Village; So, if you ride a horse to Qingyuan, plus the time to rest at night, it probably won't take two days to arrive, right?

In this way, it is about a day and a half later than the normal from Qujiang to Lianping, but it is much safer. As for the idea of rushing back to the fork in the road to take a long detour, it can be thrown aside.

After weighing it, I finally made up my mind. Next, I just talked to Ling Yueyuan about my thoughts.

After thinking for a while, Lin Xinyin first chatted with Aunt Wang: "Aunt Wang, like a flower...... Sister lives in Qingyuan, so why don't you move there too? ”

"Hey, I'm getting old and I don't want to move. Also, I'm pretty comfortable here, but I'm not used to being in the city. After Aunt Wang replied lightly, a few smiles crept up her face; It seems that he has fallen into some beautiful reverie again. It seems that in this remote village, there are happy memories that she can't let go.

"Oh. So, have you been to Qingyuan recently? ”

"I haven't been there for a long time. If you walk, it's still farther away, hehe. After Aunt Wang laughed, she sighed again: "I don't know if Ruhua has lost weight or fat recently......?" ”

"Oh...... That's the case, we may go to Qingyuan, do you want Aunt Wang to write a letter to the family, let us take it to Ruhua along the way...... Where's my sister? Lin Xinyin has never been used to calling others "sister", even if it is just polite words. After a pause, she looked at Ling Yueyuan with an inquiring look: "Huh? Little edge? ”

When Ling Yueyuan heard this, she was stunned for a moment. After lowering his head and pondering for a while, he figured out the meaning of the other party's words, then raised his chin, nodded at Lin Xinyin, and turned to Aunt Wang and said, "Well, yes." At this time, the tone was already with a hint of affirmation.

"Huh? That's the best! When Aunt Wang heard this, her joy welled up on her face. But after a while, there was some frustration in his voice: "However, I don't know any other words except numbers and my name......

"Uh...... It's okay, I still know a few words, so I should be able to help write it. Lin Xinyin thought to herself: Since the language here is connected to her own world, what ...... The writing system should also be eight or nine and ten, right? Some of the words I have been exposed to before can be understood.

"In that case, it would be great!" Aunt Wang stood up suddenly, but almost overturned the table; After walking a few steps in the house without a clue, he opened the door again and trotted outside: "I'll go to someone else's house to borrow some paper and pencils...... Wait a minute! With that, he vanished, and disappeared into the night like a gust of wind.

……

The half door that was still swaying was squeaking and moaning, as if complaining that Aunt Wang's movements were too rough.

Lin Xinyin looked at the empty house, listened to the sound of running that quickly faded, and couldn't help but show a warm smile.

At this time, there were only two people left in the house. After Ling Yueyuan pondered for a moment, she finally looked at Lin Xinyin with some hesitation: "Xiaoyin...... Are we sure we want to go to Qingyuan? ”

"Hmm. If you go back to Qujiang...... It's too dangerous. Lin Xinyin told Ling Yueyuan about her analysis. In fact, she just said that she "maybe" go to Qingyuan, but now that she sees Aunt Wang's excited expression, she really has a sense of responsibility that she has to go.

"That's indeed ......" leaning slightly, Ling Yueyuan said worriedly: "Xiaoyin...... Do you remember that Gao Feng? ”

"Uh......" Lin Xinyin's heart froze suddenly, and her face quietly turned white. Of course she remembers. I'm afraid that I will remember his horrible and disgusting death for the rest of my life...... It was a lingering nightmare.

"I remember......" Ling Yueyuan looked at Lin Xinyin's eyes and continued: "At that time, when Youyou told us that he was going to meet us in Lianping Town, he was not far away. I'm afraid ......"

"Ah......h No wonder...... It's going to be so quiet here! It seems that the main force of Qujiang Piaoyunju is afraid that they are all flocking to Lianping Town in the east!

Now, he and Ling Yueyuan should be safe for the time being. However, Ruoyun and Yoyo don't know what kind of danger they will fall into......! Thinking of this, Lin Xinyin's eyebrows were frowned, her fists were clenched, and her expression suddenly became serious.

"Xiaoyin, don't worry......" Ling Yueyuan looked at Lin Xinyin's anxious appearance, and hurriedly said comfort: "Youyou is so powerful, it will definitely be fine." And...... We're already late, if we get to Lianping Town a day or two later...... It shouldn't be a big problem. Let's follow the plan and take the route of Qingyuan. ”

"Hmm......" Lin Xinyin tried her best to control her urge to run to Qujiang now, and when she was more sensible, she made up her mind, looked at Ling Yueyuan and said, "Safety first...... Tomorrow morning, let's set off for Qingyuan! ”

"Hmm!" Ling Yueyuan nodded firmly. After maintaining a serious expression for less than half a moment, he turned to laugh again: "Hey......"

"Heh......" Looking at Ling Yueyuan's optimistic demeanor, the sorrow in Lin Xinyin's heart disappeared a little.

……

After a while, Aunt Wang came back with a pen and paper; A smile overflowed from his face, as if he was about to drown the person.

The joyful atmosphere caused Lin Xinyin and Ling Yueyuan's mood to improve.

Lin Xinyin took the pen and paper with a smile, thought about it, and wrote ten numbers in traditional Chinese based on her impression, and showed it to Aunt Wang first.

After Aunt Wang took a hard look at it, she roughly recognized seven or eight of them.

Call...... Since the other party recognizes it, it's probably fine. Although I can't remember many traditional characters, I can still write articles. So, Lin Xinyin began to pick up the pen and write a letter according to Aunt Wang's meaning.

In the faint light of the candle, the woman, who already had a little pale sideburns, whispered one household sentence after another; The beautiful girl who was writing a letter on the table was seriously turning every word of the woman into a piece of paper on paper; The handsome young man sitting next to the girl enjoyed the scene with a smile on his face.

The evening breeze of early March crept into the hut through the unconcealed door. For a while, the warmth in the house was infinite.

The warm breath ripples like spring water, filling everyone's heart.

……

After a while, it was finally done.

Lin Xinyin picked up the pages of stationery and admired her masterpiece by herself.

Take a closer look, uh...... There seem to be quite a few typos and inexplicable strange words...... However, the general meaning is clear. Then, Lin Xinyin repeated it to Aunt Wang according to the content of the letter, which made the other party laugh from ear to ear.

At the end, Lin Xinyin gently folded the letter paper and buried it in her arms.

Aunt Wang looked at Lin Xinyin, who had carefully hidden the letter paper, with a smile on her face, and felt that the more she looked at it, the more she liked it, and she couldn't help but sigh regretfully: "You guys...... Will you really leave tomorrow morning? Stay a little longer? ”

"Hmm...... No, there are some urgent things to do. Lin Xinyin also had some regrets. In fact, it would be nice to find a small mountain village to live in for half a year or a few months. But...... thought that in the distant Lianping Town, there were still people waiting for him and Ling Yueyuan; Maybe you will be in danger because of this, and your mood will not be calm.

"Oh...... That's a shame. But ......" Aunt Wang looked at Lin Xinyin and Ling Yueyuan back and forth, and asked very strangely, "Are you walking outside...... Don't you have carry-on luggage? She remembered that both men had come empty-handed, and that they had not even had any packages tied to their horses.

Lin Xinyin and Ling Yueyuan glanced at each other, helpless. When the two fled Qujiang in a hurry, they did not carry anything outside of their bodies. If it weren't for Lin Xinyin's habit of hiding a small money bag, she would really be penniless!

Aunt Wang looked at the embarrassed and embarrassed look of the pair of young girls in front of her, and couldn't help but sigh again. On closer inspection, the clothes of both men were quite dirty, as if they had been drenched in the rain and rolled in the mud. The young man's shirt was even torn......

Did you encounter some misfortune? I heard that the situation in the north is getting worse and worse, these two people can't flee to the south, right? Or is it ...... The little couple who eloped?! In Aunt Wang's mind, scene after scene of soap operas is constantly staged; Episode by episode is more tragic than the last; At the same time, love poured out.

In the end, Aunt Wang, who couldn't help herself, sighed and stood up, approached Lin Xinyin's side, took her slender hand and said, "Little girl, Aunt Wang, I still have a few clothes here that are like flowers at that time, if you don't mind, why don't you pick some suitable ones to wear, okay?" ”

After a pause, Aunt Wang looked at Ling Yueyuan apologetically: "Young man, I only have women's clothes here, I really can't help it." ”

"Uh, uh......" The corners of Ling Yueyuan's mouth twitched a few times, and she didn't know what to say, so she had to glance at Lin Xinyin.

Lin Xinyin scratched her head. Anyway, if you can wear it, you can wear it, and if you can save it, how can you not accept the kindness of others? Well, wear!

So, Lin Xinyin got up, thanked Aunt Wang repeatedly, and followed the other party into the room.

……

After entering the room, Aunt Wang groped out a large rattan box, took out a few pieces of clothes in it like a baby, and put them on the bed; After a while, he took out a small box and put it on the table.

After cleaning up, Aunt Wang smiled at Lin Xinyin: "Then, do you try it on yourself?" It's okay to come out. With that, he smiled and walked out of the room and pulled down the curtains.

Lin Xinyin looked at the neatly folded several sets of clothes, and picked up one casually with a chuckle.

The clothes are very clean and tidy, as if they have been carefully cared for.

Give it a try. Belch? ...... cloth skirt? Or not...... As long as you can wear it. It's just that the front placket is tighter and the waist is looser, so it doesn't hurt.

Glancing at the small box curiously, Lin Xinyin couldn't help but pick it up and take a look. What is it?

When I opened the lid of the box, I saw that it was a pearl hairpin.

Pick one up, get closer to the front of you and look at it carefully, as if exploring an unknown territory.

Leaning slightly, Lin Xinyin exhaled, shook her head lightly and put the bead hairpin back in the box, closed the lid, and put it back in place.

Holding the waist-length hair behind his head with both hands, he fumbled for a moment: Oh, the ribbon that tied the hair is still there.

That's it......

Lin Xinyin wore a cloth skirt that she had changed, lifted the curtains, and walked out of the room.

Aunt Wang looked at Lin Xinyin, who looked like a pretty peasant girl, and was overjoyed; But seeing her hair that was still just simply tied up, a trace of regret flashed in her eyes: "Little girl, why is it so fast?" Can you wear all the clothes inside? ”

"Huh?" Lin Xinyin just tried on one piece, but after thinking about it, it is estimated that the others are similar, right? So he replied: "Well, it should be fine." ”

"That's good. Bring all those pieces! It is also convenient to change in the future. After Aunt Wang chuckled and looked at Lin Xinyin, she sighed again: "After all, clothes still have to be worn by someone, which is the best......"

Lin Xinyin hurriedly thanked again.

……

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

The night was not dark, and after Ling Yueyuan sat bored for a while, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"Xiaoyin, let's go out for a walk?" Ling Yueyuan excitedly proposed to Lin Xinyin.

"Huh?" Lin Xinyin was stunned when she heard this. According to her idea, it is better to rest early and start tomorrow morning. But...... Now I don't feel sleepy as usual.

Perhaps, it is also good to go outside and blow the wind. So, Lin Xinyin nodded and glanced at Aunt Wang again.

Aunt Wang has another idea in her heart: young people have a world of young people. Perhaps, this pair of teenagers and girls want to whisper in private, right? So, after laughing a few times, he just instructed: "It's quite dark this night, so it's better not to go too far, ah?" ”

Suddenly, as if she remembered something, Aunt Wang hurriedly got up, turned around and went back to the room to get some small bottles, then turned back and said to the two: "No, this is bruising." The little girl still has a foot injury, just rub it more! ”

Ling Yueyuan thanked her with a smile, and after taking the bottles of bone-setting water for Lin Xinyin, she pulled her out of the hut.

……

The air outside is still fresh. Lin Xinyin's footsteps were not steady, so after the two of them walked for a while, they came to the long chair in front of the right side of the hut.

"Come, sit down." Ling Yueyuan aimed at this bench early in the morning, so he took a seat first, and then pulled Lin Xinyin's sleeve.

Lin Xinyin sat down as she said: Huh? Just right. It seems that this chair is a two-person chair.

It's stiff, but it's pretty steady to sit up. Ling Yueyuan shook it curiously and deliberately, seeing that the chair was still standing steadily, like an old tree taking root, she couldn't help but let out a "huh" in surprise. This bench has gone through many storms, but it is not as fragile as it seems.

The moon is like a wash, the stars are like a bronzer, and the night sky is particularly pure tonight.

Even though there are a thousand worries in my heart, under this quiet night, the ice-like troubles begin to melt little by little.

"The moon is so round." Ling Yueyuan stared at the sky for a moment before sighing softly.

"It's so bright." Lin Xinyin chuckled in response.

"It's like mooncakes." Ling Yueyuan's eyes blinked, and the corners of her mouth turned into a crescent moon.

"Huh...... Then you take a bite and try it. Lin Xinyin couldn't help laughing.

"Hmm. Ah......h After chewing for a while, his eyes rolled and his eyebrows raised: "Uh." It's not tasty, it's tasteless. ”

"Ahem...... Which merchant produces? It's really unkind! Strongly condemned! Lin Xinyin put on a serious expression, very indignant.

"Maybe it's made by the Huxiang pastry shop near our house, hey!" After a pause, Ling Yueyuan smiled again and said, "Well, yes. It seems to have closed down at the end of December last year, and it didn't survive New Year's Day, hehe......"

"Unscrupulous merchants, it's best to close the door, hum." Lin Xinyin continued to pretend, but the surging smile hidden in it was about to overflow: "That store seems to have changed its business to sell clothes?" Right? ”

"Hmm. However, the feng shui of that shop is so bad...... Must open one and pour another, hey......"

"Don't curse people...... Scold. ”

"Hey, hey!"

"Hehe......"

The refreshing evening breeze, carrying cheerful laughter, floats lightly.

Aunt Wang, who was alarmed by the laughter, couldn't help but get up and come to the door, opened the door, and looked at the pair of young girls on the bench under the bright moonlight, and suddenly smiled.

vaguely, I seem to see the scene of my once young self and my wife snuggling together on the bench; I seem to have seen the scene of my Ruhua and Xiao Xu laughing and chatting on the bench a few years ago. For a while, the sea of thoughts was crowded with all kinds of warm memories, and there was no longer any gap.

"Ai ~ Xiaoyin, Xiaoyuan, remember to rest early...... Tomorrow morning, it's good to hurry. Unconsciously, Aunt Wang's tone was very loving and concerned, and even her title changed. It seems that the pair of teenagers and girls in front of her are the pair of extremely familiar figures in her heart.

"Hmm~" "Okay~" Ling Yueyuan and Lin Xinyin's tones naturally replied at the same time, and then looked at each other and smiled.

Aunt Wang smiled, gently closed the door, and retreated into the house.

……

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

Time passed quietly, and the night was still quiet. However, Ling Yueyuan's eyes that looked up at Haoyue slowly took on a somewhat confused and dazed look.

In this peaceful and peaceful night, suddenly there is an illusion of falling into a fantasy world.

The moonlight is gentle, soft, soft; It's like a silk at your fingertips. Under her comfort, last night's killing, and the rush and flight a few days ago, seemed to be just a dream.

It's just that how long can this rare moment of tranquility last now......

The troubles in my heart, which had obviously begun to melt, somehow condensed again, and even I couldn't tell what was going on.

"Xiaoyin, you say, are we dreaming?" The smile on Ling Yueyuan's face disappeared without a trace; Under the expression that is as still as water, there is a faint melancholy.

Lin Xinyin was slightly stunned. I remember that when I first came to this world inexplicably, Ling Yueyuan also said the same thing, why did she mention it now?

This time, Lin Xinyin didn't say anything, just sighed softly. After hesitating for a moment, he finally stretched out his left hand and quietly held Ling Yueyuan's right hand.

As soon as the warm feeling came from the back of his hand, Ling Yueyuan's whole body suddenly trembled.

The mood that was already undercurrent, suddenly, as if blown by a violent warm wind without warning, suddenly the waves rose and fell.

Both sat silently, neither of them speaking again, nor making any further movements.

Only the cool evening breeze conveys the louder and louder heartbeats between each other.

After leaning less, Ling Yueyuan couldn't help it, and secretly glanced at Lin Xinyin a few times.

Lin Xinyin didn't seem to feel the other party's gaze, just stared blankly at the bright moon in the sky, as if the round moon was Ling Yueyuan's face.

So, Ling Yueyuan simply turned her head and stared at Lin Xinyin tightly.

Lin Xinyin's eyes were still fixed on the ethereal bright moon, but her cheeks, which had been burned by Ling Yueyuan's gaze, began to quietly turn red. The flush crawled over the ears like vines, causing the roots of the ears to burn for a while.

…… Fool. Ling Yueyuan finally let go of Lin Xinyin, chuckled and said goodbye, and admired the moon in the sky with the other party.

Bathed in this silver-like moonlight, a trace of impulse suddenly flashed in Ling Yueyuan's heart, wanting to gently lean his head on Lin Xinyin's shoulder.

However, after thinking about it: the other party's shoulders have become so slender now, and she won't collapse her by leaning on her own, right......?

Well. So, it should be her leaning over! After thinking about it for a while, Ling Yueyuan held her head high and put on a vigorous appearance.

I don't know what messy shots flashed in my mind, and suddenly, Ling Yueyuan burst out with a line very nonsensically.

"Hmph. Don't be afraid, I'm here! ”

"What...... Is it? Lin Xinyin turned her head in surprise, her eyes widened at Ling Yueyuan very inexplicably. The long eyelashes swayed a few times in the moonlight, and they looked so good.

Ling Yueyuan's cheeks suddenly floated with red clouds, and his tone suddenly became flustered: "Uh, no, that, uh-huh......"

"Xiao Yuan ......" After a moment of silence, Lin Xinyin looked at Ling Yueyuan suspiciously: "Are you okay?" ”

"Nonsense, nonsense......!" Ling Yueyuan blushed and looked at the sky, avoiding Lin Xinyin's gaze.

After Lin Xinyin sighed lightly, don't overdo it.

"We'll be able to go back." Lin Xinyin said extremely firmly to the sky, as if she was swearing to the moon.

"Uh-huh, uh-huh......"

……

"Oh, yes, Xiaoyin!" Ling Yueyuan suddenly let go of Lin Xinyin's left hand and stood up suddenly, with an unfading flush on her face: "Didn't Aunt Wang say that if you rub more rubbing and falling water, your foot injury will be healed?" Come on, I'll rub it for you! ”

"Huh?" Before Lin Xinyin could react, her left foot suddenly cooled. It turned out that Ling Yueyuan had squatted down at some point and quickly stripped off her left shoe.

"It's the right foot, ......" Lin Xinyin couldn't cry or laugh.

"Huh? Oh, oh......" Ling Yueyuan awkwardly put her left shoe back on, and then took off Lin Xinyin's right shoe. This time, the movement became a little slower.

"Is this it?" Ling Yueyuan pointed to the red and swollen heel.

"Hmm."

So, Ling Yueyuan poured out some bruising water on the palm of his right hand, gently supported Lin Xinyin's right foot with his left hand, and gently rubbed the injured foot with his left hand.

"Are you comfortable?"

"Well, well, not bad, not bad......" Lin Xinyin showed a look of enjoyment, and thought to herself: Ling Yueyuan has the potential to do massage, ha......

The refreshing and cool feeling overshadowed the original pain, and it was really comfortable. Lin Xinyin couldn't help but close her eyes and enjoy Ling Yueyuan's service to the fullest.

Very comfortable indeed. It's just lethargic...... Uh, it's a little itchy...... What's going on? It's getting itchy!

"What are you doing?" Lin Xinyin hurriedly opened her eyes, but saw Ling Yueyuan with a hippie smile.

"Hey, hey! I'm afraid you'll fall asleep, scratch you! Ling Yueyuan grinned, flicked her right index finger, and slid the soles of Lin Xinyin's feet again.

"Don't, don't play......" Lin Xinyin subconsciously shrank her feet, but she couldn't move, and suddenly frowned: This guy will be bad in less than three minutes!

"Alright, alright." After Ling Yueyuan was happy, she gently rubbed Lin Xinyin's heels again: "Don't play, hey." ”

This time, Lin Xinyin no longer dared to close her eyes to recuperate, and her eyes stared at Ling Yueyuan's every move without blinking.

After staring at it for a while, Lin Xinyin skimmed Ling Yueyuan's shirt that had been torn with a big hole, and she was immediately ashamed.

"Xiao Yuan."

"Huh?"

"That rip in your shirt...... I'll make it up for you? ”

"Finally a conscience has been discovered?"

"Uh......"

"Hey. But do you know how to needlework? ”

"Can I learn ......?"

"Take me to the test?"

"Well...... this"

"Hey......

"Hehe......"

Ling Yueyuan chuckled and continued to rub Lin Xinyin's heels, her technique becoming much more detailed.

Lin Xinyin smiled, pressed her hands on the chair, and her eyes drifted to the endless starry sky again.

A little star, twinkling strongly, as if to illuminate the whole darkness.

Under the quiet and comfortable night, the peaceful and tranquil mountain village is like a paradise away from the world. It seems that as long as you are in it, the passage of time and the changes of the sun and the moon no longer have any meaning.

Under the silvery moonlight, the bodies of the pair of young girls seemed to be shrouded in a halo of holiness.
