In the middle of the night, he woke up feeling cold because his clothes were wet from the night dew. Then he heard the faint cry of a woman coming from the mountains.

He thought to himself, whose girl didn't come home so late, didn't she quarrel with the family. She wants to quarrel and someone quarrels with her, and I don't know who to talk to if I have a temper.

He followed the sound and walked up the mountain, and when he reached the halfway point of the mountain, he saw a good-looking woman squatting on the ground crying sadly, and her tears were full of tears, which was very pitiful.

He was afraid that disturbing the girl suddenly would frighten her, so he deliberately kicked the fallen leaves on the ground with his foot to make a noise. The girl noticed him, and hurriedly wiped away her tears, and stopped crying.

Chen Shaojin asked her: "Why don't you go back so late, why are you crying so sadly?" ”

The girl said, "My home is nearby." I was an orphan, scared at home alone, and I cried when I thought of being accompanied by someone when my parents were there. ”

When Chen Shaojin heard her words, his heart was sour, and he said, "I am also an orphan, and we are suffering from the same disease." You at least have a home to live in. I'm now forced by my creditors to have nowhere to stay. I'm so much more pitiful than you, I haven't cried yet. Let's go back. ”

The girl didn't believe it: "You're an orphan too?" Are you the same as me? ”

Chen Shaojin took out the dry food in his pocket and showed her: "Look, this is all the dry food I brought, I don't know where to go, I want to rest wherever I get tired." What am I lying to you for. After Chen Shaojin finished speaking, he looked up at the sky, and the moon was overhead, round like a basin, and the middle of the basin seemed to contain rippling water.

The girl saw that Chen Shaojin really didn't look like a liar, and her eyes suddenly showed sympathetic care.

Chen Shaojin felt that he hadn't seen him in that kind of look for a long time, and he also cared more about that girl in his heart. He said, "Go back quickly, the moon is overhead." ”

The girl bowed her head for a long time, and then plucked up the courage to say to Chen Shaojin: "You don't have a place to go, or you come to my house to rest for the night." ”

Chen Shaojin hurriedly waved his hand: "If you still have someone else at home, now you are a big girl, how can I go to your house to stay?" It's not good for others to hear it. At this time, a gust of wind blew, freezing Chen Shaojin shivering.

The girl laughed when she saw Chen Shaojin trying to wrap her thin clothes tightly.

"What are you laughing at?" Chen Shaojin looked the girl in front of him up and down. She has long hair, slender eyebrows, plump lips, but her eyes are a little gloomy, and she wears a short red cotton jacket.

"I laugh at you for freezing like a mouse in water, but you speak like a duckbill thief. Besides, who's hanging out at this late hour? Who knew you lived in my house? The girl said.

"No, no. I'll just sleep here against the rocks. Chen Shaojin sat down as he spoke, leaning against a big stone and making a false sleep. But the stone was too cold, and he tried to pretend to be comfortable, and stretched out.

"Why don't you think about things? Sleep here for one night, and tomorrow you won't get sick. You can sleep in another room when you go to my house. Let's go, let's go. The girl said.

Chen Shaojin thought about it, and he was right, he would stay for one night and leave early tomorrow morning, and no one could see it. Besides, I have rheumatism in my knees, and I can't tell if I can walk tomorrow after freezing for a night. So he stood up.

When the girl saw that he had agreed, she led him to her house.
