Chapter 22: My Sister's Youth Hostel

Mu Cheng and Li Yiru both chased after him, and saw Bai Ling standing in front of the girl who was boiling porridge, gesturing with some anxiety.

"This song?" The sister who cooked the porridge blinked and said with a smile, "...... It was also taught to me by a guest who spent the night in this temple. ”

Bai Ling's eyes lit up, "Isn't it a seventeen or eighteen-year-oldβ€”"

My sister made a silent gesture before whispering, "You know them?" ”

Bai Ling nodded vigorously, "Can you tell me-"

"I can tell you, but ......" my sister pointed to the cauldron that was bubbling up, "I'm still very busy at night, and I don't have time to make small talk, unless I ......"

"I'll help you!" Bai Ling took the initiative to say.

Li Yiru looked at Bai Ling and also stepped forward, "Ah, then I'll come too." ”

My sister looked very happy and looked at Mu Cheng, "Then ...... this big brother over here?" ”

"It's none of my business." Mu Cheng clasped his arms in his arms and leaned on the pillar beside him, "Don't look at me." ”

Soon, Bai Ling took the porridge pot and followed the elder sister to the Chase shop in front of the temple to distribute the porridge, while Li Yiru followed the younger brother to a stone house behind the temple, which was the place where the sister and brother used to put food.

Mu Cheng leaned in the courtyard and listened to the rain, but sure enough, he didn't move.

After a few people were busy, they were busy until the rain stopped, Bai Ling wiped his sweat, thinking that the work should be done, but he saw his sister come out of another room with a wooden basin full of dirty clothes.

Li Yiru was sweating profusely, and he was panting and sitting on the ground fanning himself with his hands.

The elder sister handed Bai Ling a washboard, and also gave her a wooden basin, and the two of them fetched water together and began to wash clothes behind the temple.

The younger brother went to Tongpu to keep vigil, while Li Yiru and Mu Cheng sat beside Bai Ling and waited.

"I see you're pretty good at laundry," my sister laughed, "and you often do your own work at home?" ”

"Hmm." Bai Ling nodded.

My sister looked a little emotional, "There are really not many young men like you...... Look at my brother, he can eat a pound of rice at a meal, and let him wash his own clothes and cry his father and call his mother. ”

She grabbed a handful of soap and smeared it on her clothes, "Who are you?" ”

"It's me...... Friend. Bai Ling said softly, "The old doctor saved my life. ”

"No wonder you're so excited......," my sister sighed, her expression was a little depressed for a while, and she wiped the sweat from her head with her sleeves rolled up, "It was all a few years ago, they were escorted here by the officials, and it was raining at the time, so a group of people came here to settle down-"

Mu Cheng frowned slightly, "Escorted here by the official?" ”

"Yes, a father and son, both doctors," the sister said softly, "I don't know why they were held as prisoners......"

Li Yiru blinked his eyes and suddenly laughed, "When I was a child, my mother also sent someone to visit the doctor to see me. ”

"Didn't there be an epidemic in Jiangzhou a few years ago," my sister glanced at Li Yiru, "They went over there to treat the people." ”

"And then?" Bai Ling asked with concern.

"At that time, we didn't start this business in this broken temple," my sister smiled, "My brother was hit by a porcupine on the mountain at that time, and I searched for a long time in the mountains before I carried him to settle here, and when I arrived on the front foot, the two doctors came in on the back foot, and when they saw my brother's injury, they came to help, and there were many guys in my handβ€”β€”"

"You're carrying ...... He? Li Yiru looked at the thin little sister in front of him, and thought about the strong man who was five big and three thick outside.

The sister was not taboo, but said with a smile, "To open an inn in this wilderness, you must have some ability, right?" ”

Li Yiru unconsciously leaned back, and Mu Cheng laughed on the side.

"And then?" Bai Ling stopped scrubbing his hand and looked at the sister intently.

My sister's face flushed, and she obviously wanted to hold her cheeks, but the foam on her hands made her stop again.

"The little doctor was cleaning the wound while humming a tuneβ€”that's what I just sang, and I thought it sounded, so I asked him to teach me." My sister smiled, "Later, we chatted together, and he said that this place is not in front of the village and behind the store, and it is really lucky to have such a broken temple to shelter from the wind and rain, but the temple is gray and not very clean, if it can be swept to make a youth hostel."

"At that time, I thought that we would be separated at dawn, but the news came from the front that there were bandits fighting with officers and soldiers, so they stayed here for three days before leaving."

Li Yiru had already heard some clues from the words, and looked at the big sister in front of him with a coaxing smile.

"When I think about it now, it feels like it was yesterday." She sighed, "After my brother recovered from his injuries, I also went to Jiangzhou and helped them do things in their Xinglin Pavilion for a while. ”

Bai Ling looked at her with some curiosity, "That...... Then you and that Dr. Bai ......."

"Let's put it this way, both of them are no longer in this world," the elder sister looked at Bai Ling, "back then, there were still Qingpao bandits in Jiangzhou, and the two of them were attacked when they were collecting medicine in the suburbs, and the carriage rolled off the cliff...... There are no bones left. ”

Bai Ling forced himself to make a sad expression, and then suddenly realized something, "That's why you're ...... here?" ”

"I don't know." My sister lowered her head and rubbed her clothes a few more times, "But since I can't find the bones...... Is it possible that people didn't die? ”

"Hmm." Bai Ling nodded, "It's possible." ”

"At that time, Dr. Bai said that he would definitely go back to Pingjing," the sister whispered, "because he still has a sister there." ”

Bai Ling lowered his eyes, "Hmm." ”

My sister took a deep breath, and her expression relaxed again, "If he goes back to Pingjing, he should still pass by here, right?" ”

……

That night, Bai Ling helped her sister dry her clothes in the open space behind the temple before returning to her bunk.

The strong man's younger brother had already helped Bai Ling lay a new cover, and Bai Ling sat down with a heavy focus.

Everything in the ruined temple in front of her suddenly became a little different to her.

Bai Yi and Bai Shijun used to rest here, and now she is also here, but it is only three years away.

This kind of spatial overlap made Bai Ling have mixed feelings, and he was a little sour for a while.

She turned around, Mu Cheng had already fallen asleep, and Li Yiru ...... He was holding a candle in the corner and digging the wall.

Bai Ling reached out and pressed her eye sockets, and after calming her breath, she walked behind Li Yiru and patted the young man on the shoulder.

"What are you doing?"

The boy turned around and laughed quietly, "I found my name on this wall, and later I found out that it was like a poem!" ”

Bai Ling also came over, "...... Let me see? ”

Li Yiru approached the wall with a lamp.

On the old lime wall, there are four words faintly engraved -

He is just like me.
