"Miss me?" The man let go of her cheek, turned his head and kissed her on the cheek.
"Let go of me." Lin Lang struggled to avoid his closeness.
"Why? Why? The man was full of wine and muttered inarticulately.
Finding that he was a little out of control, Lin Lang's mind flashed the figure of a beautiful boy, and he shouted in a hurry: "Let go of me, I have someone I like...... Don't touch me......"
The man really stopped all his movements, and after a while, he pushed her away fiercely, Lin Lang took two steps back and sat on the ground, looking up to see the person's appearance clearly, but saw the figure straighten up and straighten his collar, turned around and disappeared into the dark.
Day after day, she dug up many exotic flowers and plants in the mountains and planted them under the fence, and a dilapidated firewood yard was carved out by her like an exclusive courtyard in a paradise, with vines growing around the fence, and the bare fence was now covered with vegetation.
Little by little, she picked up a lot of pebbles by a stream at the bottom of the mountain and paved the path of the courtyard with smooth and clear pebbles.
She didn't even want to leave here, she gave up for a few days, the man seemed to be full of thoughts, and he didn't call her to donate blood again, she never saw tourmaline again, and her heart began to empty again.
The firewood yard at night is full of fragrance, and the sound of insects comes from the flowers, isn't this the life she has always longed for? It's just that now there is one less male host.
During the day, she asked Brother Mask for flour and meat, and suddenly missed her mother's dumplings, she wanted to make a dumpling for herself to eat, she also invited Brother Mask, this was the first time she invited Brother Mask to be a guest, he also readily agreed, and said that he wanted to bring a brother, of course she was very happy, in addition to seeing Brother Mask every day here, she couldn't even see a ghost.
"Langlang ......"
"Hey...... This...... What about this......" At her strong request, Brother Mask no longer called her Miss Lin, and told her that he was ranked fifth among the brothers, and asked her to call Xiao Wu, people's hearts are flesh and blood, and there will always be various emotions after getting along for a long time.
Lin Lang, who was busy under the candlelight, had fine beads of sweat oozing from his forehead, although it was not yet summer, he had been staying by the stove, and he still roasted Lin Lang out of sweat.
"Little Fifth Brother, are you here?" Lin Lang asked, but his eyes didn't have time to look, and he was putting wrapped dumplings into the pot.
"Lang...... Langlang ...... Can I help you? Xiao Wu cautiously turned his head and looked at the person behind him who was also dressed as him.
"No, you go to the firewood room and sit down first." The firewood in the thatched house has been cleared out by her, and there is a simple set of tables and chairs in the firewood room at this time, with a few blooming flowers on the table, and a few calligraphy words hanging on the wall.
"Right away, you can help me get the plate over there." Lin Lang squatted in front of the stove and lit the fire, and when she saw Xiao Wu coming, she didn't call for Brother Mask to help.
"This?"
"Yes!" The hair that had grown to his back hung down from time to time, Lin Lang shook his head, stretched out his hand to pull the hair behind him, but found the flour on his hands: "Hair, hair." Lin Lang pointed to the hair on his chest and motioned for him to help.
"I'll help you." An unfamiliar voice came from the doorway.
"Well, thank you!" Lin Lang didn't notice any more people, and he didn't raise his eyes, he stood up and was busy salvaging the dumplings that had floated in the pot.
It wasn't until a cold touch on her neck that she came back to her senses, and there was a stranger behind her, and Lin Lang wanted to go back and see what was going on.
"Oh, Langlang, that's my good brother." Xiao Wu hurriedly stopped her.
"I forgot, you told me this afternoon." Lin Lang smiled self-deprecatingly.
