One of the features of Hemu Village is the cluster of small wooden houses that are often chosen as a base for travelers and volunteers.

"Hello, we've made an appointment." Xu Mengzhou took out the ID cards of the two people from his pocket and handed them to the boss.

The boss is a chubby middle-aged man with a kind smile on his face, and he is not a local resident by his appearance.

"A room, a guest?" The boss asked, holding a cigarette.

"Two!"

"Two."

The two spoke in unison, then looked at each other.

His eyes only touched for a moment, and Lin Yushan turned his head quickly like an electric shock.

"Haha, I'm sorry..."The boss glanced at the two of them and showed a subtle smile, "Wait a minute, I'll confirm the ...... on the computer"

After the boss completed the check-in procedures in the computer, he returned the ID card and room card to Xu Mengzhou: "Guest, please take your ID card." Rooms are 102 and 103, go out from the gate and turn right on the first row of wooden houses. ”

"Okay, thanks."

Bidding farewell to the enthusiastic fat boss, the two went to the cabin to put their luggage in the direction guided by the boss.

The summer vacation is the peak tourist season, and there are many tourists here. The rows of cabins were almost full, and every small window was lit up with a warm yellow light.

Lin Yushan swiped the card to open the door, only to feel that his eyes lit up. Looking around, the furnishings in the room far exceeded her expectations, perfectly fulfilling her childhood vision of a forest hut in fairy tales.

As far as the eye can see, the walls and the steeple ceiling are made up of pieces of wood panels with natural textures. The plush bed is topped with a brown-and-red waffle blanket, next to a small coffee table with stars and two single sofas.

Floor-to-ceiling windows connect tatami mats, and a clear stream is not far away. Lin Yushan couldn't wait to open the window, and the sound of gurgling water could be heard clearly. Across the stream, a large tall and straight birch forest comes into view.

At this moment, the sun sets, and the sky takes on a mysterious and deep inky blue. The contrast with the bright yellow light in the room made her feel like she was wrapped in tenderness.

Eyes met, and the man stood silently behind her, smiling: "It's good to like it." ”

The children from the south still can't resist the bitter cold wind in the north. Lin Yushan closed the window and closed the curtains, Xu Mengzhou reminded her to quickly change into thicker clothes to avoid catching a cold, and went back to her room after explaining.

Due to the poor road conditions from the airport to Hemu Village, it was too late to arrive at the accommodation, so I could have a good rest tonight, and the original itinerary was changed to tomorrow morning.

Lin Yushan took a comfortable shower and changed into thick clothes. Then turn on all the lights, and it's shining. The isolation here made her feel peaceful and peaceful, and her mind slowly cleared.

Xu Mengzhou... What is he doing now?

Lin Yushan lay on the bed and took out his mobile phone, wanting to chat with him. Thinking that he must have been tired from driving for hours today, he finally put his phone down.

"Knock knock—" There was a knock at the door.

Lin Yushan frowned, and after confirming that she was all dressed neatly, she looked through the cat's eyes and found that it was the fat owner of the hotel, so she opened the door.

"Excuse me, guest! It just so happens that we are slaughtering sheep here today, do you want to come and eat now? Ha ha! ”

Lin Yushan was a little embarrassed, but he couldn't help being curious, so he nodded.

She just wanted to go next door and call Xu Mengzhou together, but the man changed into a warm flight jacket and walked out of the house at some point.

"Let's go! I just haven't eaten dinner," Xu Mengzhou waved at her and raised a good-looking smile, and exhaled a faint white breath on his lips, "I'll accompany you." ”

The two were led by the innkeeper to a slightly larger wooden house in the middle of the village, and the proprietress enthusiastically brought them in, brought them two more stools, and arranged for them to sit at a large round table full of Xinjiang specialties.

In front of Lin Yushan was a large porcelain plate filled with mutton. It was so fragrant that she couldn't help but sniff it carefully. The fragrance of the onion subtly neutralizes the original fishy smell of the mutton, which is appetizing. It's just that the sheep slaughterer's knife technique is a little bold, and the mutton on the plate is divided into too large pieces, which makes it difficult to start for a while.

"This sheep was slaughtered by our family. Every time a sheep is slaughtered, as long as I have guests here, I will call them along. Xinjiang is too cold at night, they don't feel cold after eating mutton! ”

The fat boss said as he took out a knife that shone with a rich grease luster, skillfully sliced the meat, and put it in Lin Yushan's bowl with rice.

She took it carefully and looked at the people around the round table. The older ones directly picked up a lamb stick bone and gnawed it heroically; The children were eating the noodles from a large plate of chicken. All of them had happy smiles on their faces.

After a satisfying meal, everyone consciously helped the fat boss and the proprietress clean up the mess. As the night wore on, the family with the children went back to the cabin to rest, while the young people invariably walked in the other direction.

Lin Yushan pointed to a small wooden house with star lanterns not far ahead, and said, "Teacher Xu, let's go too!" ”

Rather than a café, she felt it was more like an amusement park in the whole of Hemu Village.

The décor in the café is more literary. A Christmas tree made of balloons sits in the corner of the room, and warm yellow star strips hang all over the walls, illuminating every face with a story in the Polaroid photos posted on the glass windows.

She and Xu Mengzhou sat down on chairs on the outskirts of the crowd, and the waiter enthusiastically poured them two glasses of lemonade.

A young man plays the piano and sings an English song emotionally, and his audience silently listens around him.

Lin Yushan has heard this English song, "Right here waiting".

No matter where you go, no matter what you do, I will always be here waiting for you. 】

[No matter how fate changes, no matter how my heart breaks again, I will always be here waiting for you. 】

Xu Mengzhou listened attentively, and neon lights flickered in his clear eyes. But he didn't realize that this song had already set off a wave in his heart.

Lin Yushan was moved by the singing and couldn't help but look at Xu Mengzhou next to him.

"I'll be here for you"

That's what I want to say to you.

Young men and women come to this small northern city to heal their wounds or find themselves. At the beginning of this healing journey, Lin Yushan should have let go of her body and mind to enjoy, but she suddenly felt a trace of sadness.

She was afraid that the happiness in front of her would be like a meteor, fleeting.

……

The atmosphere of the café is great, and Lin Yushan has a lot of fun after coming out. She walked around the man's back and pushed his sturdy back hard.

"How do you... Seems to have gotten heavier? Lin Yushan panted and pushed while gritting his teeth and taking a difficult step forward.

Xu Mengzhou didn't answer her, but the corners of his lips couldn't help but hook up a sly smile. He clasped his arms in his hands and tilted his whole weight back a few more points.

How do you feel, it's getting harder......

The two walked all the way back to the resting place and said goodbye at the door. When Lin Yushan returned to the room and took out toiletries and walked to the bathroom, a chill swept through.

She paused, took off her shoes and climbed onto the tatami mat, only to find that the windshield tape of the floor-to-ceiling window had fallen off at some point. No matter how much she adjusted, the windows never closed.

In early autumn, the temperature in Altay was less than 10 degrees Celsius at night, and the biting cold wind was blowing towards the bed. Even if you close the curtains and turn on the air conditioner, it won't help.

Lin Yushan thought to himself, if he moved the bed to a different position, he might not be able to blow it, and then went to wash.

She catches water from her cup and spits the toothpaste foam off her mouth. But before she could start washing her face, the whole room suddenly went dark.

Is there a power outage?

Lin Yushan put down the towel. I went to the bed in the dark to get my mobile phone, turned on the flashlight and walked outside the door, only to find that the lights were on in the small cabins around me, and there was nothing abnormal. She had to go to the front desk to find the boss.

The fat boss came to her room to check on her and apologized. It was said that the power outage caused by a short circuit in the wiring of this room, and the problem of air leakage in the windows would not be solved until tomorrow daytime when I went to the town and called the maintenance workers to come over.

She shook her head and said, "It's okay, I think I can change to another room, right?" ”

"What's wrong?" Xu Mengzhou came to the front desk to buy a bottle of water, but he didn't expect to run into it by chance.

The fat boss's face was visibly embarrassed, "Our other rooms are full... Otherwise, I'll talk to the other innkeepers and give you a room with them, but it's a little far from here. I'm so sorry that tonight's room rate is free for you. ”

"Well... How far is it? ”

"This... It's about five kilometers from here. ”

Xu Mengzhou hesitated for a moment and made a decision, said to the boss that he didn't need to, and pulled Lin Yushan back.

"Didn't you say you should live in a different place?" Lin Yushan was puzzled.

Xu Mengzhou walked in front and said methodically: "How remote is here, how can you go to such a far place alone, what if you get lost?" ”

"But what then, in my house..."As he spoke, Lin Yushan had already been brought into his house by Xu Mengzhou.

The man gently pressed her shoulders and held her arm to sit down on the bed, while he went to the single sofa next to her.

Lin Yushan didn't dare to look at him at all, and his cheeks turned red with hindsight. Her mind was a mess, and all kinds of strange images came out of nowhere, and she kept fighting in her mind.

This is... What do you mean......

Is that what she thinks?

Lin Yushan really wanted to ask him, but Xu Mengzhou spoke calmly.

"You stay here tonight, I'll go live in a house with no power. It's all washed up, and the power outage at night doesn't matter too much to me. ”

Lin Yushan immediately retorted, and all the shyness was instantly replaced by the emotion of distressing him, "The window over there is also leaking, what if you get sick after sleeping there for one night?" ”

These words may not be able to persuade Xu Mengzhou at all, so she simply said, "If you have to sleep there, I will go with the boss to live in that hotel five kilometers away!" ”

She reflected for a moment, and suddenly felt that what kind of tiger and wolf words she was talking about?

Finished. Doesn't he think... Are you forcing him to sleep in the same room as you?!

That's not right! That's not what it means! What to do? He must not be given that impression......

Lin Yushan was anxious, got up from the bed and stammered and explained, "No, no, Mr. Xu, don't get me wrong." I know you're worried about me, but I'm worried about you......"

The man glanced at the girl. She didn't admit defeat in the last second, and now she is in a hurry to make up for it. I couldn't help but laugh.

However, he knew that he had lost the battle and did not raise any further objections.

Xu Mengzhou went to the next room to bring Lin Yushan's pillow and futon, then folded the futon on his bed and put it aside, took out a thick blanket from the suitcase and put it on the single sofa.

Lin Yushan was cramped now, feeling that he had been sealed in the bathroom and couldn't get out. She dug the cream with her fingers while tilting her head to see what Xu Mengzhou was doing.

"It's late, come out, you have to get up early tomorrow."

"Oh..."

Lin Yushan came out of the bathroom and found that Xu Mengzhou was sitting on a single sofa with a very low back with his eyes closed, his head leaning against the hard wall, and only a blanket on his body, which was visibly uncomfortable to the naked eye.

It must have been very uncomfortable for him to do this, but he felt a little contrived when he opened his mouth.

Wouldn't it be possible to sleep in the same bed......

Xu Mengzhou had already taken off his glasses, and his long black eyelashes covered his lower eyelids, exactly the same as the night he was drunk.

She's greedy.

Only when the man closes his eyes does she dare to look at him blatantly.

Maybe you really fell asleep......

Lin Yushan reluctantly turned off the light in the living room. Take off your slippers and carefully step on the bed, sinking yourself into the soft bed.

The room was eerily quiet, and she was strangely hot, reaching for the remote control to turn the temperature down by two degrees.

It's obviously a hotel bed, why do you always think uncontrollably that you are lying on his and Huang Ying's bed......

This bed seems to have thorns, and each thorn is mercilessly stabbed at the self back then.

Sweat was pouring from her back, and she forced herself to close her eyes. But my head is constantly filled with some ulterior pictures that I have fantasized about since high school. It was a betrayal of virtue that only she knew.

In her fantasies, on that floppy bed. Huang Ying disappeared, and all her perception of the outside world disappeared.

Only she and Xu Mengzhou remained.

The closed body senses of a girl who has not been in the world are all awakened and opened by men for the first time.

She begged him to let her swallow the forbidden fruit and mingle with him until dawn.
