Ning Qiuyu didn't go back to the family's house, Yu Youyi found her a very secluded self-built house outside the village, this house is almost next to the mountainside, far away from the village, but the house has been abandoned for a long time, dirty and dilapidated, not very easy to live in.

Ning Qiuyu will be in this place for half a month, although life is particularly difficult, but as long as you don't stay in that family's house, it's all good.

She used her fingers to break a day every day, and after five days, she drew a horizontal line on the wall. It was as if I was getting closer to the day I went out.

Yu Youyi was worried about revealing flaws, so she could only bring her food and use it every once in a while.

It wasn't until time passed quietly that the limelight in the village looking for Ning Qiuyu finally subsided, and the traffickers said that they would give the old man a discount and sell him, and finally no one in the village talked about Ning Qiuyu.

It's been a month later, and spring has quietly passed, and the hot wind of the beginning of summer has inadvertently descended on the earth with the chirping of cicadas and frogs.

Everything has been prepared, and the village will hold a temple fair in three days, which is the biggest event of the year in the village, singing big operas, eating banquets, and inviting some people from outside to come back and perform acrobatics.

There will be a lot of people who want to join in the fun, and no one will notice so much.

Until that day, it was still bright, and Ning Qiuyu could hear the movement of gongs and drums below on the mountainside, and Yu Youyi took advantage of the time to go to the town to invite cooks and actors, and hurriedly ran back to the mountainside to bring Ning Qiuyu.

She pushed the door in and wanted to urge people to get up, but found that Ning Qiuyu had woken up, she stood upright by the wooden door, and watched herself rush with a bright face.

"I'm still worried that you're sleeping too deeply like before, so I came to call you early, and you woke up so early!" She said and took out two hot steamed buns that had been kicking in her arms and handed them to her: "Today's errand in the village, the steamed buns are all stuffed, and they taste better than usual, you eat them quickly, and I'll dress you up." ”

Yu Youyi was afraid that she would be recognized on the way to escape, so she secretly brought her cosmetics that she had been hiding, these things had been useless for too long, and she was a little rusty when she started it.

The purpose of her makeup was to cover the glitter on Ning Qiuyu's face, and the foundation and a little dark contour deliberately darkened her skin, ordered a few black moles, and tied her hair a little messy, and then nodded with satisfaction.

She packed up her things and instructed her: "I'll buy vegetables for a while, ride a three-wheeled and pull a bucket, you hide in it at that time, don't make a sound, do you hear!" ”

Ning Qiuyu just nodded no matter what she said, even if she was asked to pick up and pee, she would not have a word of complaint, as long as she could go out.

She cautiously followed Yu Youyi down the mountainside and saw a tricycle parked near the entrance of the village.

A blower is blowing a balloon with a red arch at the entrance of the village, and you don't have to go in to see the stage that has been erected overnight, and the stage has been set up and finished early, and it is still a little early, and there are no people in and out of the village.

Yu Youyi trotted all the way down, probing left and right like a thief, and found that there were no strange people, hurry

beckoned to Ning Qiuyu and whispered, "Hurry up!" Hurry up! This will be nobody! ”

Ning Qiuyu hurriedly ran down, because she was in too much hurry, there were too many gravels on the small slope, she accidentally tripped and fell into a, and her palm fell to the ground and pierced a lot of sharp broken sand into it.

"Are you alright?" Yu Youyi was startled and asked in surprise.

"It's fine!" Ning Qiuyu didn't care about the pain, and stood up in a panic, afraid that someone would come at this time, and he couldn't care about patting his hands, so he hurriedly ran down, and turned his body into the bucket with great difficulty.

She squatted in the bucket, her head covered with a lid, and looked at the white plastic around her, and she felt an indescribable sense of security.

Yu Youyi knocked on the bucket and told her again: "I'm leaving, the road is very bumpy, don't call anything when you encounter it!" ”

Ning Qiuyu slapped off the sand and stones that had been stuck in his hand, and obediently "um".

When she felt the three-wheeled swaying forward, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, and felt the precious steadfastness again, the last time she felt like this was a month ago.

Eating the dishes cooked by her mother at home, the family talked and laughed, she grabbed the TV with her brother, she didn't want a mobile phone, she just wanted to grab something in her brother's hand, she liked to watch her brother be entangled by herself to the point of helplessness, and she liked to see her brother love herself.

Ning Qiuyu suddenly felt that her eyes were sour, and all the grievances that had been accumulated for more than a month broke out at once, she didn't cry when she was arrested, she didn't cry when she was beaten, and she didn't cry when she lived alone in that dilapidated and bleak building.

This will finally have time to miss her family, and all her emotions will turn into bean-sized tears, which will fall on her hands drop by drop.

She didn't dare to make a sound, her hands tightly covered her mouth, swallowed the wail in her throat that she wanted to vent, and cried silently.

Tears soaked into the wounds on her hands, and she felt a burning pain in her palms and knees, like burning.

Although the three wheels have batteries, they are still very slow, after all, the three wheels can't run the four wheels, and they are extremely shaking along the way, and they should have hit a big stone several times, Ning Qiuyu couldn't even sit steadily, and he was raised high and then almost fell down with a bucket.

She almost couldn't hold back her exhalation, but she kept Yu Youyi's words in mind and covered her mouth tightly from beginning to end.

She didn't know how long it had been shaking, anyway, her butt hurt and her legs hurt, and the road outside seemed to have finally smoothed out, and she had been walking around for a long time, so she should be far away from the village and almost in town.

There was also more sound of cars passing by in her ears, and she heard the foul talk of a few rough old men, and also heard the long-lost shouting on the side of the road.

The aroma of breakfast wafted in through the cracks in the lid of the bucket.

Ning Qiuyu was so excited at that moment that she could barely help herself, and her body with a sore back was a little unbearable.

She finally let go of the little hand covering her mouth, wanting to stand up and see what the outside world had become like that she hadn't seen for a long time.

She couldn't see anything through the white of plastic, but

I saw the reflection of passing vehicles and people on it.

She's not dreaming!

Ning Qiuyu pinched the wound on his hand, and his heart hurt!

Sure enough, it's true! She didn't dream! She's out!

She actually came out! She had finally left that horrible and disgusting village!

Ning Qiuyu was so excited that she burst into tears for a while.

But the more excited she was, the more she felt that she had to be careful, so as not to fall short and cause trouble to Sister Yu outside.

She sat honestly again, but the depression and sadness that had been hanging on her face for more than a month were gone, and her eyebrows and eyes smiled like crescent moons, shining brightly.

She fantasized about how happy her parents would be when she got home, and if my brother wanted to cry when he thought about me, they would definitely cook a big table of dishes for themselves at night and cook their favorites.

She will definitely listen to her parents more in the future, and she will study hard!

She doesn't want to be separated from her family for the rest of her life!

Just as she was immersed in the expectation of happiness, the three wheels suddenly stopped, because the inertia barrel suddenly leaned forward, and this time it really fell.

Ning Qiuyu fell so hard that he fell forward, his hands were hit very painfully, and the lid on the barrel also turned out and fell to the side.

The morning light shone in along the mouth of the barrel, and she thought that she had been discovered, so she quickly covered her face again and curled up tightly.

Until the rough and cold hand reached in and grabbed her wrist, and at the same time Yu Youyi's gentle voice was heard, "Come, we have arrived!" You climb out carefully. ”

Ning Qiuyu heard it, and was so happy that she forgot who it was just now, and couldn't wait to put down her hand and climb out of the bucket.

The outside world was really as beautiful as she imagined, Ning Qiuyu looked up at the fiery clouds burned by the sunrise.

It's like a life full of hope, hot and brilliant!

She didn't have time to stand up, her neck was still looking at the sky, her eyes were absorbed in the scenery.

Obviously she sees the same sky every day, but at the moment she sees a different smell, even the air is a lot fresher, she smells the morning stalls set up on the side of the road, and after breakfast in the morning, she feels hungry again.

Yu Youyi took her hand, "Don't look at it, it's important to go first, when you go home, you can watch it for as long as you want." ”

"Hmm!" Ning Qiuyu nodded vigorously in excitement.

She still vividly remembers the excitement and joy she felt when she was about to escape.

As she tiptoed out of the car, she ran down the road with pleasure as she fled, enjoying the freedom and wanton of that moment.

Ning Qiuyu seemed to be in the moment, her bloodless little mouth trembled slightly, she closed her eyes, and took a deep breath.

Jiang Futing and Bai Tang didn't bother her, they went from house to house in the village to check carefully.

But every house is the same, except for the deep snow backlog, the dust left in the houses through the windows is a constant reminder of the years of abandonment of these houses.

The two men even walked to the end

The highest point in the village is the easternmost cemetery.

Each tomb was covered with a thick layer of white, and many of the wooden plaques standing in front of the tombs were overwhelmed by the heavy snow.

Jiang Futing had a faint hope at first, to see if Ning Qiuyu's bones would be here, but after walking around, he didn't.

When he returned to his starting point, Bai Tang was standing under a tree with less snow, facing the village not far below.

The figure was thin and tall, and the clothes on his body were also a little thin, still a big autumn windbreaker, standing in the snow-white world and looking a little gloomy.

Jiang Futing walked over, swept away the snow that accidentally fell on Bai Tang's shoulders with his hands, patted it, and turned around.

After a shallow glance at him, Bai Tang continued to look down, looking unsurprised, "I didn't find anything!" ”

"Yes." Jiang Futing responded lukewarmly, and he was not discouraged because he didn't find clues, he looked down at Bai Tang's line of sight.

I saw that Ning Qiuyu seemed to be still standing in the original position, not moving a few steps away from the original position.
