Chapter 21 I Live in the South

Don't rejoice too soon. Mu Cheng glanced at Li Yiru, "Didn't you say it just now, now that the foreign thieves are present, the people in the DPRK and China may put the overall situation first and directly suppress this matter." ”

Li Yiru was stunned for a moment, "...... Such a bad thing, would it? ”

"Then add another paragraph at the end," said Bai Ling softly, "and tell them not to take such signs lightly. ”

Li Yiru sat up straight, and the pen in his hand stood up again, "You say, what to add." ”

"You add ......"

Bai Ling looked up and thought for a moment.

"The water of the boat is the tears of the people, and you don't know if you don't cross the stream." She whispered.

……

A few people rested for a while, and when the sun was fully rising, Mu Cheng took the two people behind him and successfully returned to the ordinary business road.

There was no "unavoidable patrol" along the way, as Lao Xu said, and they didn't see a single official from leaving the mine to returning to the main road.

Come to think of it, the so-called "I'll take you back to the main road" is probably just a chain fabricated by Lao Xu out of thin air, locking the three of them to walk with him honestly.

After moving away from the mining area, the voice that appeared from time to time and made Li Yiru feel tormented gradually faded away.

With cotton in his ears, he leaned on Bai Ling's shoulder and fell asleep, only to wake up in the early afternoon.

In the evening, the group ran a few more miles at dusk, but still did not find a nearby village where they could stay, so they had to turn back to a ruined temple they had encountered before nightfall.

After a while, the roof of the mountain temple reappeared in the field of vision of the three of them.

"I always feel that the person guarding the temple gate looks weird," Bai Ling said with a frown, "Are you really going there to spend the night?" Maybe it's better to stay overnight in the countryside. ”

"What are you afraid of," Mu Cheng smiled, "Aren't you able to run, if you find something wrong, let's just run away at night." ”

"Yes, leave it to me," Li Yiru patted Bai Ling's shoulder quite confidently, "I'll keep a vigil for the two of you today!" ”

Bai Ling looked up at the dark clouds overhead, and saw that it was going to rain again, so he reluctantly followed the two of them to continue forward.

When I walked to the gate of the temple, it was already raining.

Several people hid under the eaves with their front feet, and the ground outside their back feet was drenched.

"Is it to shelter from the rain or to stay overnight?" A voice came from the left hand side of the trio.

A few people turned around and saw a strong man with tendons and flesh standing next to the three of them - this strong man's waist looked as thick as three Li Yiru.

The strong man looked down at the three people in front of him, his expression extremely serious.

"Accommodation...... bar. Mu Cheng looked at the temple behind the man, "Why, this temple is not for nothing?" ”

"Take shelter from the rain outside, whatever you want, if you want to go inside, you have to pay extra money." The strong man raised his hand, "Three people have a total of three coins of silverβ€”"

Seeing that Li Yiru was about to bow his head and take out the silver, Mu Cheng took his back collar and pulled him behind him, and then took out a dozen copper plates from his waist, "We have this little money on us, and we don't have more, can we live?" ”

The strong man tightened his eyebrows, and after a while he turned his head and shouted, "Sister! ”

A girl in her early twenties ran out of the temple, her body was slender, her hands were still wet, and she was constantly rubbing the apron in front of her.

The strong man lowered his head and whispered something to her, during which Bai Ling's eyes met the girl for a while, she narrowed her eyes and showed a smile to Bai Ling.

After a while, the girl quickly ran into the temple again, and the strong man also turned around, "There are just four beds left today, and they are empty, and my sister said that you can come and stay, but if you want to drink porridge at night, you have to pay for it." ”

"Done." Mu Cheng nodded.

Under the leadership of the strong man, the three of them entered the temple gate, the temple was very dark, and I didn't know which way of the gods was enshrined on the platform, Li Yiru paused a little in front of the altar, folded his hands and bowed slightly, and then followed Bai Ling and Mu Cheng to continue to walk inside.

The open space in the temple has all been converted into a chase shop, straw mats and mattresses are spread directly on the ground, and a dozen people are sleeping in a long narrow aisle.

As soon as he entered the door, Bai Ling smelled the faint fragrance of rice in the air, and his stomach immediately screamed - in the past few days after leaving Huizhou Mansion, several people have eaten grain cakes that are hard to the teeth, and at this time, someone actually ran into someone selling porridge in a broken temple, and immediately added money to ask for three bowls.

However, the girl was somewhat sorry to inform that the pot of rice porridge had been completely exhausted, and they had to wait for the next pot.

The three of them sat hungrily in their bunks, listening with envy to the sound of smacking their lips.

Heavy rain fell outside the temple.

In the sound of wind and rain, Bai Ling felt a chill in her head, raised her head, and a drop of rain fell on her face.

She held out her hand, and another drop of rain fell on her palm.

"You're leaking rain here," Li Yiru climbed to Bai Ling's side, also looked up, and then a bone got up and ran to find the strong man to transfer the place for Bai Ling.

Bai Ling sat there without moving, his expression softened.

"I can't get drenched at the edge of my seat." Mu Cheng couldn't help but remind.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I'm reminded of the old house I lived in when I was a kid," Bai Ling smiled, "and when it rained heavily, it rained lightly inside." ”

Mu Cheng looked at Bai Ling, and then withdrew his gaze.

"So on rainy days, I sleep on the living room table. When I was a child, it was okay, but when I grew taller, I couldn't sleep. ”

"Hmm." Mu Cheng nodded, "It does rain often in the south, and it is better here in Huizhou." ”

The sound of the rain gradually became louder.

Bai Ling faintly heard a song coming from the other end of the ruined temple, it was her sister who was boiling porridge in the backyard, singing an unknown mountain song.

My sister's voice was very good, and after hearing her singing, the people who were chatting in the whole ruined temple were silent, and everyone leaned on their respective bedding and pillows, quietly doing their own things.

At the end of the song, Bai Ling just wanted to tell Mu Cheng that the song was so good, but he heard the song floating over again.

"I live in the north, and it's rare to see a lot of rain these days."

"Hearing the rain outside the window at night reminds me of southern ......"

For a moment, Bai Ling was like a lightning strike.

On the other end, Li Yiru had already called the strong man's younger brother.

The strong man was holding a new dry bed in his hand and was going to change the bed for Bai Ling.

Before Li Yiru could shout to Bai Ling to get up, Bai Ling had already turned over and stood up, and rushed towards the backyard of the broken temple with an expression of disbelief.

The song continued.

"Thinking of the time when I stayed in the south, many of the smells there, many of the colors there, my unconscious heart has flown gently......

"I was in love there for the first time, and I don't know how she is now

"By the lake in front of my house, who is still lingering at this time......

"Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, these are memories

"Every day there are new questions, and I don't know when I will recall them

"Southern......

"Southern......
