Zhuang Youjie saw that Liang Yuanque did not respond, so he rubbed his eyes and stood up.

Through the moonlight outside the window, he faintly saw a black figure beside Liang Yuanque's bed.

Zhuang Youjie's brain was excited, and he was suddenly scared awake, and groped to pull the lamp.

There was no electric light in this room, only a kerosene lamp next to Zhuang Youjie's bed, and he trembled to touch the foreign fire to light the lamp, but he couldn't touch it.

"It's okay, you're sleepy."

Just as he was panicking, a pair of hands put on his shoulders, and the voice of Liang Yuanque came to his ears.

Hearing that it was him, Zhuang Youjie's heart relaxed.

Liang Yuanque pushed him back to the bed like a child, "Good Ang, go back and continue." ”

Zhuang Youjie turned his head to look at his bedside again, it was empty, there was nothing.

Zhuang Youjie exhaled softly, it seemed that he was really too nervous.

After comforting Zhuang Youjie and going to bed and falling asleep, Liang Yuanque looked back and saw that the man beside the bed was long gone.

"Someone, at least close the window for me!" Liang Yuanque cursed in a low voice as he went to close the wooden window with a gap.

The next day, Zhuang Youjie was woken up by Liang Yuanque.

The sky outside the window was still white, and Zhuang Youjie wondered if he was sleepy again.

Liang Yuanque asked him while tying his hair, "Do you need breakfast?" ”

At this time, the owner of the early stall probably hasn't gotten up yet, Zhuang Youjie ate a lot last night, felt it, and said that he was not hungry.

Liang Yuanque nodded, "Then hurry up and wash up, we have to hurry." ”

It was the first time Zhuang Youjie saw him tie up his hair, and the whole person seemed to be a lot more energetic, but at the same time, he looked more like a little girl.

His skin was very white and his body was very thin, and it seemed that a dress would be enough to make it real.

Zhuang Youjie went to the outhouse, and in order not to wake up the doctor who was still asleep, he wiped his face casually with the cold water in the basin.

Under the constant urging of Liang Yuanque, Zhuang Youjie almost cleaned himself up as quickly as possible, and the two embarked on the road back to Shuizhai.

It was still dark outside, there were no pedestrians on the streets, and the whole town of Luochuan Water was still asleep.

Standing on the familiar bank of the river, Zhuang Youjie looked at the water village on the other side of the river that was dormant like a beast, and couldn't help but sigh.

"If you're really scared, just wait for me outside." When Liang Yuanque said this, he was untying the reins of the boat on the bank of the river.

"No," Zhuang Youjie immediately retorted, "Since I chose to come with you, I won't back down here." ”

Liang Yuanque didn't say anything more, but jumped directly into the boat and stretched out his hand to him, "Come on." ”

Strange to say, since the time he fell into the water a few days ago, Zhuang Youjie doesn't seem to be so afraid of water, looking at the waves shaking at the bottom of the boat, there is no longer the previous tension in his heart.

Sure enough, people still have to take a brave step.

When you really go to fear, you will look back and realize that the fear that you once felt was difficult to overcome is just that.

Zhuang Youjie did not hold Liang Yuanque's hand, but plucked up the courage to jump on the boat, and after stumbling for a while, he stood firmly.

"Yo, yes." Liang Yuanqi expressed surprise at his progress.

After Zhuang Youjie sat down, Liang Yuanque propped up the oars, and the boat staggered towards the other side of the river.

"Is it really okay for us to do this?" Zhuang Youjie walked out of the cabin and looked at the sky that was gradually lighting up outside, "Don't you have to say anything to the boatman?" ”

"When you get over there, let Uncle Wonton tell him, it's not like I don't pay." Liang Yuanqi said while holding the boat.

When the boat swayed to the opposite shore, Zhuang Youjie saw that Uncle Wonton's stove had already emitted white smoke.

"Uncle, have you been out of the stall so early?"

On the way here, he was still worried, what if the uncle hadn't come out of the stall yet, but seeing that Liang Yuanque looked confident, he didn't ask much.

Now that I look at it, I realize that my worries are superfluous, and it turns out that the uncle got up much earlier than them.

"To make money, of course you have to get up early," the uncle said as he stirred the wontons in the pot, "and I'm waiting for you, I know you'll definitely come back." ”

Liang Yuanque was obviously in a hurry, and didn't want to talk nonsense, so he sat directly in front of the wonton stall, "Since you have guessed, then please help us and let us go into the water village again." ”

The uncle glanced at him, "Go in again?" Not afraid that you won't be able to get out? ”

The expression on Liang Yuanque's face was resolute, "Since I can come out once, I can come out a second time." ”

Uncle Wonton heard this and laughed, "Interesting, really interesting, are you detectives all such characters?" ”

Liang Yuanque shrugged his shoulders, "Maybe it's just me comparing the axis, once I start something, there must be a result no matter what." ”

The uncle seemed to appreciate his spirit, and immediately extinguished the fire, "I know that there is a place where you can quietly climb into the water village, come with me." ”

Liang Yuanque beckoned Zhuang Youjie, and the two followed the uncle for a while and walked to a private house to gather.

On the other side of the river, the area beyond the dividing line also belongs to the town of Luochuanshui, so there are residents like the uncle living in this vicinity.

These houses are only one step away from the water village, and they can no longer be distinguished from each other by the white dividing line, but only by the courtyard wall that has been built all along.

The uncle knocked on the door of a house, and after a while, a sleepy-eyed young man opened the door.

After talking to him for a few words, the uncle reached out and rubbed his fingers against Liang Yuanque, who immediately understood, took out a few silver yuan from his pocket and handed them over.

The young man took the bills and, muttering quietly, led them into his yard.

The backyard of the young man's house is very close to the water village, and almost all the outermost wooden buildings in the water village follow his backyard.

He pointed to a somewhat collapsed courtyard wall, and said to Liang Yuanque, who was following the uncle, "Hey, you can just climb over from here." ”

Zhuang Youjie raised his eyebrows in surprise, it turns out that "blending in" is such a literal blending in?

Liang Yuanqi looked at him and asked in a low voice, "Is your foot okay?" ”

Zhuang Youjie stomped his feet on the ground and nodded at him, "It's okay, I didn't feel any pain all the way." ”

After getting his reply, Liang Yuanque turned over very neatly, knowing that Zhuang Youjie would not climb over the wall even if he didn't have his feet, so he rode on the wall and stretched out his hand to him.

Zhuang Youjie took a deep breath and took his hand, although the action was a little unsightly, but he climbed up smoothly.

The uncle beckoned to them, "I will always be waiting for you at the stall." ”

Liang Yuanque thanked the uncle, and pulled Zhuang Youjie to jump off the wall.

The water village is also the same as Luochuan Water Town, it has not woken up yet, and the surroundings are quiet.

The two of them slowed their steps, and after walking a distance, they saw a figure at the intersection in front of them.

When I looked closely, it was Liuyun standing there with a cold face!
