Chapter 44: Relatives Meet
After chasing and killing all the way, Li Jiangwei and the others finally came to Xinquan. The gloomy sky was like a foggy new spring, and the already unpleasant mood was even lowered.
Yue Kang asked around and found that there was only one room left. This means that someone continues to sleep in the carriage
"I thought I could give everyone a good rest." Chu Yongyi spread the futon and said helplessly: "This is the first time that there is no room in the accommodation." ”
"Looks like you're used to it now." Li Jiangwei smiled: "I think of the first time you slept in the same room with me, and you were still unhappy." ”
"I'm afraid your reputation will be damaged!" Chu Yongyi said angrily: "If the people in the capital know about this, you can see if you are still married." ”
"So what?" Li Jiangwei said disappreciably: "Anyway, I don't plan to get married." ”
"You haven't grown up yet, and if you grow up, you won't say this."
Li Jiangwei was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that this body was only fourteen years old. Girls grow up early, and there is not much difference between fourteen and sixteen years old.
"When I grow up, I won't marry. Aren't you afraid that I won't be able to write a manuscript if I get married? ”
"Huh? Don't you dare? ”
"My future husband won't let me write, so I can't help it. You say, don't you? Li Jiangwei laughed and teased.
"You! Never mind! You better not get married! Who can stand you with your temperament? ”
"If you don't marry, you won't marry! Hopefully! ”
Chu Yongyi sighed and said, "Forget it...... If that happens, I'll take you in. ”
"Thank you!"
"You!" Li Jiangwei looked indifferent, leaving Chu Yongyi speechless, "Forget it!" Sleep asleep! ”
Chu Yongyi lifted the quilt, got in, and wrapped himself.
"Went to bed so early?"
"Tired!"
"Then I won't write tonight, you can go to sleep." After speaking, Li Jiangwei came to extinguish the oil lamp and groped back to the bed.
"Good night! Sweet dreams! ”
"Good Dream ......"
Early the next morning, Li Jiangwei got up early, put on her coat and walked to the bedside. The sound of the rain fell on her heart, and it was difficult to be in a good mood. The nameless book descended on Li Jiangwei's palm with her silent call, and the page did not update the content, only remembering the sentence "Xinquan is as rainy as ever".
"Hmm......" Yu Yongyi struggled to get up, lifted the quilt, and looked up to see Li Jiangwei by the window, "Why do you get up so early?" ”
"When I woke up, I got up naturally. It's time to walk around today and find out the whereabouts of your relatives in the Ark. ”
Yu Yongyi rubbed his eyes and hummed softly.
On the page of the Nameless Book, a few more lines slowly appeared, which were words describing Yu Yongyi's physical condition: "Although the injury has improved with the help of healing, the fatigue of the body has not been completely relieved. Now he is just trying to crawl out of the futon with his body bon. ”
Li Jiangwei suggested softly: "You come slowly, don't be in a hurry." I'll get you breakfast. ”
"Ah...... Thanks......"
After breakfast, Yu Yongyi still looked listless. Leave your lodgings and inquire about the whereabouts of the victims in the city.
Xinquan is different from the previous cities. There is a nearby city called Fuyi located on the edge of the Luojiang River, and with the Luojiang River, a waterway that runs through the southwest, Fuyi has developed rapidly.
However, the flooding of the Luojiang River has made the living environment in Fuyi not good. And the new spring not far from Fuyi has become the best place to take refuge. Some wealthy businessmen in Fuyi have rented a lot of hotels in order to arrange their own people. This is also one of the reasons why Li Jiangwei and they couldn't book two rooms yesterday.
The wealthy businessmen in Xinquan also opened a warehouse to give porridge, but they did not have a more standardized and complete rescue plan like Linsu. As a result, the victims of the earthquake in Xinquan will go to the east to receive porridge today, and tomorrow they will go to the west to line up, and they may not have anything to eat the day after tomorrow. I never know if I'll be able to eat enough tomorrow and live a life without a meal.
Shinsen has a shrine on the east and west sides, and it still retains the tradition of hundreds of years ago.
Speaking of which, Shinsen is famous because of the celebrations held by the two major shrines. Even I've heard of it. Yu Yongyi said: "Now in Xinquan, I'm afraid I don't have the energy to hold a festival anymore." ”
"Let's go to the shrine." Li Jiangwei proposed: "When I was asked just now, didn't someone mention the shrine? The shrine is taking in the victims of the disaster nearby. I guess the Ark wants to see it too. ”
Fang Zhou, who had been following behind him, nodded and said, "I want to go, I want to go, I don't know what the owner is going to do?" ”
"Then go."
Fang Zhou immediately jumped up and asked, "Can I go buy a roast chicken first?" ”
"Go buy it!" Yu Yongyi smiled and handed over the silver, "If you want to buy anything else, you can also buy it." ”
When passers-by mentioned the shrine, Li Jiangwei had already had the idea of going. The hundred-year-old shrine may be able to pass down some secrets, and be able to understand what the "inner world" is like.
The three of them questioned all the way, and finally found the shrine located on the eastern hillside on the outskirts of Xinquan. In the distance, you can see people in red-and-white and blue-and-white costumes busy, as the shrine witches often wear.
"Someone else has arrived."
Before they got closer, a man at the door sighed and walked slowly towards them.
"Seeking relatives or defecting?"
"Looking for relatives." The Ark replied first.
"Where do your loved ones come from?"
"Fangjia Village, Heqi County."
The man nodded and said, "Good luck." There's such a family from there. ”
"Family?"
Fang Zhou was a little puzzled, and couldn't help but hug the roast chicken in his arms.
"Come with me, three of you, and go and recognize people."
The three of them followed the man into the shrine, where people sat wherever there was a shelter. The yellow-faced and thin-skinned victims saw a new person coming, and stared at the three of them with burning eyes.
The man stopped suddenly, pointing his finger in one direction.
"That family, do you know?"
Fang Zhou's eyes widened, and he spread his legs and ran in the direction of the man's finger.
"Village Chief!"
Hearing the shouts of the ark, an old man in the corner raised his head, and his thin body trembled.
"Zhou'er ......"
The village chief scrambled to his feet and strode over to hug the ark.
"As long as you're safe. Just be safe! ”
Fang Zhou looked behind the village chief, and no one else was in sight.
"Village Chief! What about the others? Fang Zhou asked eagerly, "What about them, sister?" ”
He wept in mourning, his withered palm gently patting the back of the ark.
"Something...... You ......"
Fang Zhou suddenly felt bad, and the whole person tensed.
"They...... Encounter robbers, all ...... They're all dead......"
Fang Zhou froze, trembling all over, and the corners of his mouth twitched for a long time.
"Sister, she ...... too"
The village chief turned his head and did not answer.
"Village Chief! You tell me the truth! Did my sister get lost on the road or die! I just want you to tell the truth! ”
"She'......"
The village chief swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said slowly.
"She's ...... Dead"
