Chapter Thirty-Four: Old Dreams Become Wounds

When I arrived at Miss Yin's house, she had already packed her things. I went inside and saw her sitting in the kitchen eating, wearing pajamas, probably just woke up.

"You're here." She looked back at me and said naturally, then pouted and looked behind me, clearly still angry at what had happened yesterday.

"He didn't come," I said, scratching my head, "actually... You know... Why didn't Brother Ling Xin tell you. ”

Miss Yin seemed to be a little embarrassed, and lowered her head with an "oh".

"I know," she slowly raised her head, bangs slid down from behind her ears, "He always thinks he's a thief and doesn't deserve me," Miss Yin said with a slight smile: "Actually, he's quite insecure, don't look like a cynical person." ”

"Either way, I want you two to be together."

Miss Yin looked at me gently, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly: "Thank you, brother." ”

"Thank me for what?" I laughed and said, "That... Ling Xin and I are going to Camellia Township, and I will help you persuade him on the way. ”

"Okay," Miss Yin's eyes bent into a small bridge, "I hope you can also find happiness." ”

"Oh... Oh good. I shyly lowered my head, waved at Miss Yin, and walked back.

I stepped on that familiar path again, but all I thought about was Qingya. What do I have to say when I see her? Will she still be as gentle and virtuous as she used to be, and will we still sit under the moon and open our hearts like we used to be? The more I think about it, the more chaotic my thoughts become, and I should think carefully about whether I want to disturb her life, whether I really want to give her an explanation, or just desire. After all, since Ling Xin said that he had the opportunity to meet Qingya, I have always remembered this matter, as if this is the meaning of my stay here.

The town was quiet as usual, but it was colder in the morning than at noon, so I quickened my pace and soon returned to Ling Xin's house, where he had already packed his luggage and was waiting for me at the door.

"Here," he handed me the guitar, "it's all about it." ”

I took it with a smile and carried the guitar on my back. We went to the woods to say hello to the captain, and then we prepared to leave by boat. Camellia Township is not far from here, and it should take less than half a day to walk west, but I still carefully checked the life-saving products and brought enough dry food and water in case of accidents.

Ling Xin smiled and said that I was doing too much, and I also found out that the old captain was not there, so I became the one who looked ahead and looked backwards. I smiled and got on the boat, rowing west with Ling Xin.

The gentle breeze pushed the boat slowly, with the occasional seagull circling around it before heading off into the distance. They are very intelligent animals, and they know that if there is a boat, they may throw away some leftovers for them to eat. Sometimes they flew in droves, and I would go to the captain and ask for some bread, which I would roll into powder and throw into the air.

Ling Xin rowed absentmindedly, as if thinking about something. I picked up a stone and threw it into the water on his side, and he reacted, turned his head at me, smiled and said:

"Don't worry, it'll be there in a moment."

I knew he was thinking about Miss Yin, so I deliberately led the topic here: "Where did the mandarin duck you gave Miss Yin yesterday come from?" I haven't seen it at all. ”

"You've not seen everything." Ling Xin stretched out his arms and said lazily, "I also don't have anything else to give, so I gave that thing to her." ”

"It won't be your family heirloom." I looked at him jokingly, but he replied with a serious face:

"Sort of."

"It's really a family heirloom. Alas, the heirlooms have been given away, and if people don't get married, they will lose a lot. I said with a deliberately long tone and a smile.

"How dare you joke with me?" Ling Xin turned his head and showed his rogue smile: "I'll see you later, brother and sister, see what I say about you." ”

"Don't don't, Brother Ling Xin, it's okay if I'm wrong." I stuck my tongue out at him.

"Haha, it's good to know what is wrong," Ling Xin said as he put the oar in his hand on the boat, sat down and put his arm around my shoulder, and said, "Wait a while and have a good drink with me." ”

"You're not rowing?"

"Isn't this a tailwind," Ling Xin pouted and said, "Don't worry, it'll be there in a while." ”

You're not in a hurry. I thought to myself, but after thinking about it, I didn't know what to say even if I saw her early, so I simply put the oar in my hand on the boat and chatted with Ling Xin again.

We swayed in a small boat until the sun shone almost vertically on the turquoise waters, and we saw the island where Camellia Village is located. I felt like I could smell the intoxicating aroma of camellia again. The boat docked, I parked the boat, and Ling Xin pinched his waist and looked at the camellia forest in the distance. It's all so familiar, but the mood is completely different from the first issue.

I put my guitar on my back, patted Ling Xin on the shoulder, and walked forward together. Skirting the hill, entering the forest, and climbing up the hill again, Ling Xin turned his head and asked me:

"Where is Miss Qingya's home?"

When I heard this, I suddenly realized that I was about to see her, and my heart fluttered.

"In.... I looked at the rows of small mansions below, as if I had forgotten where her home was, I lowered my head and said, "Why don't we go first, somewhere else... And thenβ€”" I turned to look at Ling Xin, and he sighed softly.

"Okay, I know you're not ready," Ling Xin turned his head and smiled at me, and patted me on the shoulder: "It just so happens that I have a friend who lives here, let's go to their house for a while, and then go to the bar street in the evening to get drunk." ”

"Hmm." I nodded to him, and together we went down the hill to the entrance of the village, and entered the sheep's intestine path. It was here, how could the person at that time think that the collision would make him linger for a long time and haunt his dreams.

Ling Xin felt my nervousness, put his arm around my shoulders as before, and said to me with a smile:

"Have you figured out what you're going to drink for the night?"

"You do." I knew he was trying to distract me, so I casually responded.

"It's okay," he looked at me and said, "and when you actually see it, you won't be so nervous." Besides, if you want to see it tomorrow, let's get yourself drunk today. ”

I smiled and nodded at him. A gust of wind blew abruptly, blowing up the fallen leaves on the brick floor, whirling in mid-air. I looked around, as if Qingya was in some corner I hadn't seen yet. I didn't expect to see her in this mood, the person who was once so close has now become a jealousy in my heart. Alas, I also knew I couldn't let go of her, but I didn't expect this feeling to be so strong. Ling Xin took me around a few corners and crossed a few small bridges before we arrived at his friend's house.
