Chapter 72 Chapter 72 Basil

Han Lin thought about it and walked over.

Although this person doesn't look like a bad person, he has been hanging around near his home for two days in a row, so he must be asking for something.

Han Lin pushed the car over, but unexpectedly, the other party saw Han Lin and was about to turn around and leave.

Han Lin stopped where he was, looked at the other person's back, and prepared to go home.

This man was indeed as Han Hui said, with a clear mind and didn't look like a bad person. Besides, Han Lin thought about his own situation and there was really nothing worth targeting.

Yang Dai went to the capital, and he would also go there in two days. He could leave a key at home so that his parents could come and help ventilate the house when he and Yang Dai were not at home.

Han Lin thought so and took out the key to open the door and prepare to go in, but suddenly found that the person who was about to leave had come back.

"Is there something wrong?" After thinking about it, Han Lin walked up to the other party and asked.

After all, I'm leaving in the next two days. Although this person doesn't look like a bad person, he can't be ruled out as a danger.

"No, nothing." The other party paused for a moment, "I came to visit a classmate, but I didn't expect that he was not at home for two consecutive days." The man saw Han Lin approaching and explained.

"Is your classmate from the Huangzhuang Brigade?" Han Lin felt something was wrong and narrowed his eyes, but he continued to ask, "I wonder what your classmate's name is? I was born and raised in the Huangzhuang Brigade. If you're willing to tell me your classmate's name, maybe I can help."

The man opposite looked at Han Lin and slowly shook his head. "He's not an important classmate. It doesn't matter if I can't find him. Maybe we're just not destined to be together."

Han Lin raised his brows slightly when he heard this. It seemed that this person was indeed coming for him, but he didn't know why he was using the pretext of being a classmate?

Han Lin hurriedly recalled everything he had done during this period, and even his previous memories, to confirm that he really did not know this person.

"Since you came here specifically, there must be a deep bond between you two. Everything depends on human effort. How can you so easily say something like 'it's not meant to be'?"

The man was stunned for a moment, then a wry smile appeared on his lips. "It's fate that we met. I haven't told you my name yet, comrade. My name is Lin Zhengyang."

After Lin Zhengyang finished speaking, he stared at Han Lin, his heart beating a little unevenly. He didn't know whether Han Lin would react to his name.

He knew he shouldn't come to Huangzhuang Brigade, but he couldn't help it, he wanted to come and take a look.

Han Lin smiled, "It's a good name."

Looking at Han Lin's expression, Lin Zhengyang couldn't tell what he felt.

Introducing himself to Han Lin suddenly today was already a very impulsive thing to do, and he shouldn't stay here any longer.

Lin Zhengyang didn't say anything else, nodded at Han Lin, and left in a hurry.

Han Lin looked at Lin Zhengyang's back as he walked away, still thinking about the name Lin Zhengyang in his heart.

A completely unfamiliar name.

But if this Lin Zhengyang really had nothing to do with me, he wouldn't have specifically introduced his name to me.

Han Lin had no idea for a moment, and simply stopped thinking about it. No matter how big the matter was, it was not as important as going to the capital to see Yang Dai.

In order to set off earlier, Han Lin went to the sales department of the food factory early in the morning and met with the head of the sales department.

The head of the sales department was a middle-aged man over 40 years old. He did not show any expression when Han Lin arrived. He just calmly gave Han Lin the train ticket and Zheng Huasheng's approval slip.

"We will meet at the factory tomorrow. We will both bring some samples so that we can go separately when we go to sell them." The sales director had a smile on his face and spoke politely, but Han Lin could tell at a glance that the sales director did not look down on him.

Han Lin didn't care. Besides, if he were the head of the sales department, he would subconsciously distrust a strange young man, especially when this young man seemed to have a strong backer but kept asking to go to the capital.

"Then Chief Zhao, see you tomorrow." Knowing that he was unwelcome, Han Lin did not bother the chief for long. However, when leaving the food factory, he went to the workshop to look for Zheng Huasheng.

This time, the pastries were approved by Secretary Gao, and Zheng Huasheng immediately transferred two workshop teams to specifically produce the new pastries.

Once made today, it will be sent to the nearby supply and marketing cooperatives early tomorrow morning, awaiting consumer reviews.

Knowing that Zheng Huasheng was busy, Han Lin did not disturb him. He got on his bike and went to Hu Ping's house again. He was going to say hello to Hu Ping again.

Before, Hu Ping had thought that after the construction site resumed work, the two of them would continue to go to and from get off work together. Now it seems that Hu Ping’s idea is probably impossible to realize.

When Han Lin arrived, Hu Ping was entertaining friends at home. When he saw Han Lin coming, he quickly introduced them to each other.

"Brother Han, this is my childhood friend Lin Zhengyang. He was in the army before and just came back from leave these two days."

Lin Zhengyang, who was sitting on the sofa, met Han Lin's eyes and stood up in surprise.

"Brother Han, you came at the right time. Lin Zhengyang..." When friends gathered together, Hu Ping, who was already talkative, became even more active.

But before he could finish his words, he was suddenly interrupted by Lin Zhengyang.

Lin Zhengyang glanced at his watch and said, "I suddenly remembered that I have something urgent to attend to. I'm running out of time. I'll go back first. You two can have a good chat."

Lin Zhengyang rushed out and waved at Hu Ping, indicating that Hu Ping didn't need to go out to see him off.

Hu Ping was a little confused. "Didn't you just say you wanted to drink with me? Why is there something wrong now?"

Fortunately, Hu Ping was generous and quickly turned his attention to Han Lin. "Brother Han, I asked someone in the city to buy some new beer from the brewery. Let's try it together! Lin Zhengyang won't have this good fortune today."

As Hu Ping was speaking, he had already taken out the beer and asked Han Lin to sit down.

Then he remembered to ask: "Brother Han, how did you and Lin Zhengyang know each other?"

"I met it at my doorstep yesterday." Han Lin took a sip of beer. This was the first time he drank it. It didn't have much of a taste, but it was still drinkable.

"Yes, yes, that's what I was just wanting to say. Lin Zhengyang has been looking for someone in Huangzhuang Brigade these past two days. Nominally, he's looking for his classmate, but in fact, it's the person he likes." Hu Ping took a sip of beer and sighed. He felt so refreshed that he couldn't help but talk more.

"If you ask me, Lin Zhengyang is looking for someone so secretly, I don't know when he will find him. I just wanted Lin Zhengyang to tell me the name of his classmate. Brother Han, you are from the Huangzhuang Brigade, so you can help him find him."

"I heard that this kid, □□ Yang, had a crush on me before he joined the army, but his family didn't agree."

"The Lin family wanted Lin Zhengyang to join the army so that he could use his connections to get assigned to a job in the city after his discharge. Lin Zhengyang didn't want to join the army at first."

"But the Lin family said that as long as Lin Zhengyang is willing to serve in the army, they will let him marry that female classmate immediately after he returns from the army."

"Lin Zhengyang left a letter for the girl before he left. He also wrote letters after he joined the army, but he never received a reply from that female classmate. So as soon as he returned home for leave, he rushed to look for her."

"But after two days of searching, I still can't seem to find it. I'm so distraught."

"Although Lin Zhengyang didn't say it directly, I think it's very likely that the female classmate has developed new circumstances."

"I heard from Lin Zhengyang that it was a junior high school classmate? There aren't many female classmates in your team who attend junior high school in the county, right? Do you have any impression of her? Do you know who she is?"

Hu Ping couldn't drink much. After just a few sips of beer, his face turned red and his body began to stagger, but he spoke very intensively from beginning to end.

Han Lin put down the beer and took the beer bottle from Hu Ping's hand.

"You're drunk. Stop drinking and go to sleep."

Hu Ping refused to admit that he was drunk, thinking that this amount of alcohol was just an appetizer, and asked Han Lin to continue drinking.

But Han Lin was no longer in the mood. He tried to persuade Hu Ping a few more times, but found that Hu Ping was very stubborn, and no one from the Hu family had returned.

He simply tapped Hu Ping's neck.

Hu Ping finally ran out of strength, let go of the bottle of wine in his hand, and lay down on the sofa with his body tilted.

Han Lin covered Hu Ping with clothes and moved the trash can next to the sofa.

After thinking about it, he wrote a note and left it behind - drinking will cause trouble and harm your health, so try to drink less.

He thought he already knew who Lin Zhengyang was looking for in Huangzhuang Brigade.

There are not many female comrades attending junior high school in Huangzhuang Brigade, and even fewer female comrades attending junior high school in the county town. However, Lin Zhengyang appeared at his door for two consecutive days.

There is only one answer, Lin Zhengyang came to find Yang Dai.

Han Lin felt his heartbeat, lay on the bed and closed his eyes.

Lin Zhengyang was destined to never find Yang Dai.

Even if Lin Zhengyang met Yang Dai this time, there would be no result.

The Yang Dai of today and the Yang Dai of the past are not the same person at all. Yang Dai can only be his.

Therefore, no matter what Lin Zhengyang intends to do, Han Lin will not pay attention, and Han Lin will not take Lin Zhengyang's provocation seriously at all.

At the same time, Yang Dai returned to the dormitory to rest after finishing a day's work.

I had only intended to take a short nap and then write a letter home, but unexpectedly I fell into a deep sleep and began to dream.

The person in the dream was her, but also not her. Yang Dai stared at the figure for a while and realized that the person in the dream might be her original self.

She was running along the path, not knowing where she was going, but tears were streaming down her face.

After a long time, the other party finally squatted down, stared at the river in a daze, and even took two tentative steps forward.

Yang Dai realized that the original body wanted to jump into the river.

She gasped, not knowing why this dream was so strange.

After she traveled through time, she would occasionally dream at night, but even when she was most curious about why she traveled through time, she never dreamed of her original self. But this time she did dream of her original self, but this dream seemed a little weird.

In the dream, Yang Dai took two steps towards the river, pursed her lips for a long time, and seemed to have made up her mind. She no longer hesitated and walked towards the deepest part of the river.

It was the flood season in the dream, and the sluice gates upstream had just been opened to release water. The water was so deep that people could really drown.

As a third-person spectator, Yang Dai has been trying to stop the actions of Yang Dai in the dream, but it is completely useless.

In the dream, Yang Dai could not hear her voice, nor could she sense her presence. She only focused on walking towards the center of the river.

But as she walked, Yang Dai stopped, as if she finally heard the voices, and looked around.

As a bystander, Yang Dai thought that her shouting finally had an effect, but she soon realized that something was wrong. The Yang Dai in the dream still didn't know of her existence.

But I did hear the sound.

"Yang Dai." A male voice came from somewhere.

Yang Dai, who was about to jump into the river, stopped and looked around.

Yang Dai, who was in the third person's perspective, also subconsciously looked for the source of the voice. She had no mistake about that voice; it was Han Lin.

Yang Dai, who was standing in the middle of the river, obviously heard something. She was stunned for a long time and finally walked back to the river bank slowly.

Standing on the shore, Yang Dai looked back again, as if to confirm something: "Can you really keep your word?"

"Then I will wait a little longer. If you can't keep your promise..." Having said this, he seemed to realize that he had no threat to the other party, and he suddenly stopped and fell silent.

The dream also came to an abrupt end at this moment.

At the same time, Han Lin, who had just lay down to rest in the Huangzhuang Brigade, also fell into a nightmare.

Looking at the familiar pillar in front of him with Buddhist scriptures engraved on it, Han Lin knew that he had fallen into a dream. This was something he had never experienced before, as the toxicity in his body disappeared after he traveled through time. So he frowned and tried hard to get rid of the dream, but he could not find a way.

I can only let myself fall into the dream.

As the crown prince, Han Lin's physical condition was of great concern. After he went mad from poisoning for the first time, he received even more concern from civil and military officials.

Even though the emperor was cruel and ruthless in private, he always appeared benevolent and wise in public.

After learning that the prince was ill, he personally went to the royal temple, Huangjue Temple, and as the emperor, he personally prayed for the prince, hoping that the prince would recover soon.

But unfortunately, the effect was minimal. The prince's condition did not improve at all, and even tended to become more serious.

For a while, people in the streets and alleys were talking about it. Everyone said that the emperor, as the Son of Heaven, was the most noble person in the world.

As the crown prince, although he is of the emperor's bloodline, he is ultimately not as noble as the emperor.

The emperor personally prayed for the prince's blessing, but the prince did not have this blessing and his life was likely to be shortened.

Han Lin knew who spread the rumor, but the person who spread the rumor acted like a kind father.

Someone was sent to investigate the rumor overnight, and to make an example of someone, they caught a few scapegoats and beheaded them at the street corners.

Afterwards, he went to Huangjue Temple in person to seek a solution, and finally got an explanation from the abbot of Huangjue Temple.

If the prince's condition is to be controlled and improved, he must show his sincerity.

The best way to show your sincerity is to go to Huangjue Temple in person, do morning prayers every day, and communicate with the Buddha.

From then on, even though Han Lin was reluctant, he became a frequent visitor to Huangjue Temple.

Han Lin disliked Huangjue Temple and felt that it was another prison, but in fact the abbot of Huangjue Temple never restricted Han Lin's actions at all.

After many times, Han Lin also found the peaceful place in his heart in Huangjue Temple.

The history of Huangjue Temple is longer than the founding of the Daqing Dynasty, and it covers a very large area.

According to the abbot of Huangjue Temple, Huangjue Temple was a continuous piece in the early years, but later the earth dragon turned over and the buildings of Huangjue Temple suffered great damage.

The abbot at that time believed that this was a warning from God to Huangjue Temple: everything that goes to great heights must decline, and even Huangjue Temple could not escape these four words.

Therefore, the abbot ordered that except for the renovation of the main hall of Huangjue Temple, all other buildings should be abandoned, and some monks of Huangjue Temple were also dismissed.

The mountain behind Huangjue Temple is the place that was once abandoned by Huangjue Temple.

A nine-story pagoda was once built on the back mountain of Huangjue Temple. As for what was enshrined inside, no one knows. There are only vague rumors that the top of the nine-story pagoda was once able to reverse time and space.

Because of such rumors, the emperor wanted to rebuild the nine-story pagoda of Huangjue Temple when he first ascended the throne, but he was persuaded by the old abbot of Huangjue Temple, who passed away soon after the emperor proposed this idea.

The emperor believed in these supernatural powers and never mentioned the basil again after that.

Han Lin had never seen the nine-story pagoda of Huangjue Temple. What he saw was a dilapidated building that was half collapsed and leaning to one side.

However, this building can give Han Lin a sense of tranquility, so when he is in Huangjue Temple, Han Lin spends most of his time here.

Logically, he should be very familiar with this dilapidated abandoned tower, but in his dream, he saw a scene that he had no impression of before.

In broad daylight, there was only three and a half stories left of the abandoned tower, but there seemed to be the vague silhouette of a nine-story pagoda.

Han Lin approached the nine-layer phantom unconsciously, only to see the sky suddenly dim.

When he opened his eyes and saw things again, there was a flowing river in front of him, and in the center of the river stood an extremely sad woman.

The woman had a face that was familiar to him.

He opened his mouth and called out, "Yang Dai."
