The short man said with a look of surprise on his face: "The capital? Are you going to the capital? That's so far, it's too dangerous for you to trek to the capital alone as a weak woman! ”

"How far?" Lin Ling remained silent, hung his head, and let the shadow of his hair cover most of his cheeks, "If it's far away, I won't go to the capital, I have friends in Quanzhou, so I don't necessarily have to go to the capital." Can you tell me where this is? How far is it from Beijing and Quanzhou? ”

The short man shook his head and said, "I haven't been to the capital, let alone heard of Quanzhou, but I've heard that it will take several months to go to the capital." Don't worry, when you go back, you can ask Wenjie's father, his father is the head of our village, and he has gone to the most places, maybe he will tell you how to get to Quanzhou. ”

Lin Ling nodded, kept stomping her feet and rubbing her hands, although she had Luo Wenjie's cloak to keep out the cold, the snowflakes that had been stained before on her body had melted, soaking her clothes inch by inch, her skin and bones were frozen, her stomach was empty, and she didn't know that she hadn't eaten for a few days. When the visibility was getting higher and the sky was getting brighter and brighter, Lin Ling finally heard the people around him cheering, "They're back!" ”

A group of people were elated, constantly talking about the hardships and pleasures of driving away the wolves, Lin Ling couldn't support it anymore, and fell to the ground softly, just being picked up by Luo Wenjie. She didn't want to fall into the arms of a strange man, especially since this man still had impure thoughts about her, but she really couldn't support it, and there was still such a long mountain road to go, even if she didn't freeze to death, she would definitely die of exhaustion.

A group of people couldn't help but burst into laughter, making fun of Luo Wenjie, Luo Wenjie's face was flushed, and Lin Ling had already fallen asleep unconscious. The more the group of people talked, the more energetic they became, and even talked about meat. Most of these people are married, while a few are young. There are not many men like Luo Wenjie who have reached marriageable age but have been beating singles in this village, for no other reason than because he has a father who is the village head.

The village is called the Black Forest, so named for its location at the foot of the Black Forest, where the peaks are numerous and the villages are evenly distributed at the foot of the mountains. In the villages of the Black Forest, there are many men, and if you want to marry a wife, you have to cross several mountains with a dowry to reach the village where there are many women. As the son of the village chief, Luo Wenjie has too many things to deal with, and he doesn't have time to think about these things on weekdays. After seeing Lin Ling, his heart exploded, and he really wanted to marry the woman in his arms.

At three o'clock in the morning, a group of people arrived at the foot of the mountain, and each went home separately to reunite with his family. Luo Wenjie hugged Lin Ling all the way to his house, the village chief was waiting for news at the door with a solemn face, and when he saw Luo Wenjie coming back, he was about to ask about the situation, but he saw the girl in his arms and was stunned.

"Dad, she's the girl I found in the mountains, she's soaking wet now, I'll take her in and deal with it." Luo Wenjie's face was flushed, and he hugged Lin Ling and walked into the house.

"Stop!" The village chief shouted, stepped forward and brushed the broken hair in front of Lin Ling's forehead with his hand, and suddenly sighed, "Your mother went when you were young, and I haven't taken good care of you, so that you haven't begged for a daughter-in-law when you're so old." This is also fate, you went up the mountain to drive wolves but met this little girl, I see that she has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, or arrange for you to marry as soon as possible. ”

"Daddy......" Luo Wenjie muttered, "let's talk about it when she wakes up." ”

The village chief put away his kindness, straightened his face and said, "You kid, if you continue like this, you won't be able to get a daughter-in-law for the rest of your life!" I'm going to go to the village matchmaker now, and the sooner the better! I can't wait to hold my grandson! ”

Luo Wenjie was speechless, hugged Lin Ling and walked into the house, wanting to call the aunt next door to come over and clean up Lin Ling's body, but he didn't know what he was thinking, and reached out to untie Lin Ling's collar. The clothes are already soaked, and taking off a coat will waste a lot of Luo Wenjie's thoughts. It may be that the movement is too loud, and Lin Ling, who was in a deep sleep, finally woke up and happened to see Luo Wenjie attacking her second little jacket.

Her heart moved, and she hurriedly sat up, protected her chest, and said vigilantly: "What are you doing?" ”

Luo Wenjie was extremely embarrassed, shook his outstretched hand in the air, put it on his side again, and said embarrassedly: "I saw that you were soaked, and I was afraid that you would catch a cold, so I changed your clothes." Since you're awake, come by yourself, and I'll boil hot water for you. ”

Lin Ling didn't want to guess what kind of thoughts Luo Wenjie had, pursed his lips, and said in a low voice: "Excuse me, can you borrow me a set of women's clothes, I can't wear this one anymore." And, I, I'm so hungry......"

"Okay, I'll go get you ready." Luo Wenjie was very embarrassed, opened the curtain and walked out.

Lin Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief, and looked around the house, the layout was very simple, there was not even a door, just a curtain separating the inside and outside. This man's father is still the village head, and the family is so shabby, it seems that the village is very poor. Lin Ling wanted to take off the wet clothes on her body, firstly, Luo Wenjie had not brought clean clothes, and secondly, it was really not safe to come here, what if someone broke in as soon as she took off her clothes?

"Come, good girl, my aunt's clothes are lent to you to wear, don't dislike it!" A middle-aged woman opened the curtain and rushed in, holding a few pieces of clothing in her hand, and threw them on the bed at random. Then he took Lin Ling's hand, looked her up and down, and then said, "Yes, Wen Jie, this kid's vision is the best!" ”

Lin Ling was speechless, she hadn't dressed up for three days, and her body was so dirty, I really don't know how these people judged!

Luo Wenjie also brought in a bucket of hot water and said: "It's freezing this day, you may catch a cold when you take a bath, you wipe your body with hot water, I'll go out first." Auntie, come out, I have something to tell you. ”

Lin Ling quietly leaned over to the door curtain, wanting to hear what the two were saying, but when he heard Luo Wenjie asking his aunt some questions about eating, he couldn't help blushing, and walked into the back room to quickly undress and wipe his clothes, which took less than a quarter of an hour in total. Then he washed his dirty hair a little, and walked out of the room with his hair loose.

A burst of fragrance came, and Lin Ling's stomach growled, although he was very hungry, it didn't look like he hadn't eaten for three days. Thinking of the situation on Chinese New Year's Eve, it seems that the man in black traveled thousands of miles every day, and the night walk of eight hundred brought her here, but he was not ready to starve to death, and he should have fed her food and water on the way.

Fortunately, she was lucky enough to meet someone who went up the mountain to drive away the wolves, and she was able to pick up a life.

But this is not a place to stay for a long time, so Luo Wenjie's eyes look at her are too intense, and she must leave as soon as possible.
