Gangzi's departure did not surprise Lin Yu too much.
He had wanted to leave the village and venture into the outside world a long time ago.
Once, when the old village chief was alive, he needed to take care of his grandfather, so he couldn't go out.
Later, Lin Yu became the village chief. He felt that his relationship with Lin Yu was the best in the village, so he wanted to assist his uncle Lin for a while.
Now that Lin Yu has established himself as the village chief, it is time for him to leave.
Gangzi took a little change left by the old village chief, picked up a few pieces of dried meat, and set off quietly.
The letter was also written very simply.
"Lin, An is gone. Go to Zhen and change your mind."
Looking at the crooked words on the letter, Lin Yu showed a bitter smile on his face.
The old village chief’s instructions seem to still be ringing in my ears.
...
...
But this child is indeed a cause for concern.
You can't even write, yet you want to go out and make a living? Aren't you just asking for trouble?
Although Lin Yu had never been to the town, every time the village sent someone to the town and wanted Lin Yu to go with them, Lin Yu refused.
He just wanted to live and develop in the village.
But even if he had never been to the town, Lin Yu knew that the world outside must be much more difficult to survive in than in the village.
Although there is no future in the village, at least there is food, drink, a place to sleep, and women to give birth to babies and carry on the family line.
Outside, it’s not that simple.
"Ah!" Lin Yu sighed slightly, and secretly comforted himself in his heart: "Old Village Chief, it's not that I don't help you, it's your grandson who ran away..."
Lin Yu stayed in the village for another two months.
Then, one morning, I suddenly packed my bags.
Actually, there is nothing to clean up.
After all, Lin Yu can survive without eating, drinking water or sleeping. He is even stronger than Xiaoqiang.
Lin Yu just took an extra sweatshirt and a pair of shoes and went out.
Lin Yu doesn't like to owe favors to others, nor does he like to go back on his words.
The old village chief and his grandson, Gangzi, happen to have both of these qualities.
When Lin Yu first came into this world, it was the old village chief and Zhao Xueqing who accepted him as a favor.
When the old village chief was sick, he grabbed his hand and asked him to look after his disobedient grandson. Lin Yu nodded and agreed, which was considered as Lin Yu's guarantee to the old village chief.
Lin Yu had a hard time in the two months after Gangzi left.
I always feel like there's something blocking my heart.
"People really can't do things that go against their own wishes." Lin Yu sighed slightly, put on his bag and walked out.
It's not daybreak yet.
Lin Yu didn't want the people in the village to know that he was leaving.
This will make many people cry.
Especially those young girls and young women who often sit in their homes for several hours.
They will definitely cry very sadly.
After all, I persisted for so long, but in the end, it was all in vain.
There is another reason why he doesn't want to say goodbye, because Lin Yu doesn't know what he will encounter on this trip.
Maybe he will come back with Gangzi soon, or maybe he will never come back.
but.
When Lin Yu walked to the entrance of the village.
Still saw a figure.
It’s Zhao Xueqing.
The faint moonlight shone on Zhao Xueqing's face, and a hint of crystal could be vaguely seen in the corners of her eyes.
But Zhao Xueqing hid it well.
When Lin Yu came in front of her, Zhao Xueqing regained her bright smile.
"Have you been waiting for me here?" Lin Yu asked.
Zhao Xueqing nodded.
No words.
She felt that she had not yet recovered her good mood and might choke up when she spoke.
Lin Yu asked again: "How do you know I'm leaving?"
Zhao Xueqing was silent for a while.
Then he opened his mouth slowly, his voice was very soft, but still soft and pleasant to the ear.
"Last night, I noticed that something was wrong with you. Or rather, something was wrong with you since Gangzi left the village. It was especially obvious last night."
"I know your character. You can't just ignore Gangzi."
"So, I think you might leave at night, and you probably won't say goodbye to everyone."
"It's just that I didn't know you would leave in the early morning..."
As Zhao Xueqing spoke, her body trembled slightly.
It was obvious that she had been standing at the entrance of the village waiting all night.
The purpose might not be to retain Lin Yu, but just a separate farewell!
On this slightly chilly night, at this moment, Lin Yu's heart suddenly opened up a little.
But Lin Yu held back.
I am about to leave, and if I do something at this time, it will cause the greatest harm to Zhao Xueqing.
Lin Yu's expression remained calm.
Having lived two lives, Lin Yu is better at concealing his feelings than Zhao Xueqing.
Lin Yu took off his shirt and gently put it on Zhao Xueqing.
The clothes carry Lin Yu's warmth.
Zhao Xueqing's body stopped shaking.
"When...will you come back?" Zhao Xueqing couldn't help but ask.
Lin Yu didn't want to lie.
"Maybe he will come back in two days, or maybe he won't come back..." Lin Yu didn't look into Zhao Xueqing's eyes, but raised his head and looked at the moon.
Zhao Xueqing also looked at the moon.
The moon is crescent-shaped, not round.
Just like myself.
"goodbye!"
"Take care of yourself!"
Lin Yu walked towards the dark distance with his bare chest.
Behind him, Zhao Xueqing tightened her clothes and looked into the distance.
The moon waxes and wanes, and people have joys and sorrows, separations and reunions.
Lin Yu left the village where he had lived for nearly ten years.
Zhao Xueqing watched the man she had liked for nearly ten years leave.
Except for the initial period, Zhao Xueqing actually always knew that there would be no result between her and Lin Yu.
Because Lin Yu's appearance has not changed over the years.
It seemed as if the years had left no trace on him at all.
But I already have wrinkles on my face and fat on my waist. I feel that I am not worthy of him. His future is not in this remote mountain village.
Zhao Xueqing suddenly smiled freely and the last tear squeezed out of the corner of her eyes.
She looked deeply at the darkness in the distance again, turned around and walked towards the village.
…
Lin Yu is very fast.
The town that would have taken three days and three nights to reach was reached in just one day as Lin Yu quickened his pace.
In the evening, before the sun set, Lin Yu arrived at this small town called Sanxia Town.
The size of the town was not as big as described by the villagers who had been to the town, nor was it as big as Lin Yu had imagined.
It looks much smaller than the towns in his previous life.
The town is surrounded by high walls, with a road and a gate leading into the town.
It’s a bit like the ancient cities in the previous life.
However, there is no need to check when entering the town.
The town's management seems to be rather loose.
This also saved Lin Yu a lot of trouble.
The roads in the town are paved with bluestone, and there are all kinds of shops on both sides of the road.
There are tailor shops, pawn shops, grocery stores, grain stores, etc.
The streets are full of people shopping, it is bustling and prosperous.
This was the first time Lin Yu had seen such a scene since coming to this world.
Lin Yu was also slightly excited.
Although I have been in this world for ten years, I actually don’t know much about this world.
There is not much information available in Zhaojia Village.
It was only because Lin Yu had witnessed a battle between immortal cultivators when he had just traveled through time that he realized that this world was not simple.
But that's all.
Lin Yu felt that after coming to this town, he might be able to understand the world better.
But now Lin Yu has discovered another problem.
That is, I have nowhere to stay.
This place is different from Zhaojia Village. In that kind of wilderness, Lin Yu only needs to find a cave and live there for two or three years.
But in a town like this, I'm afraid you won't find a cave.
Moreover, it may not be easy to find Gangzi in a short time.
I still need to settle down in the town first and then slowly search.
If you want to gain a firm foothold, you probably have to find a job first, preferably one with food and accommodation.
Lin Yu had no money on him.
The entire Zhaojia Village had little money, and the surplus grain every year was used to exchange for daily necessities and seasonings.
Only the old village chief had saved some change when he was young, but it was all taken away by Gangzi.
When Lin Yu came out, he only brought a shirt.
When he was still at the entrance of the village, he gave away the one he was wearing.
Lin Yu is now penniless.
"A tailor shop?"
Lin Yu shook his head. Although he was very strong, he probably couldn't do manual work.
"pawnshop?"
Lin Yu shook his head again. He thought that in this world, the mathematical knowledge in his mind would not be of much use.
After walking for a while, a restaurant appeared in Lin Yu's sight.
The restaurant is not big, but its name sounds impressive.
"Cyclamen!"
Lin Yu's eyes lit up.
As a foodie, is there any better job than working in a restaurant?
