She hurried over and squatted on the ground. The stream was about ten feet wide and the water was not big, but the current was very fast. The water was also clear enough to see the bottom with the naked eye. This was the water flowing down from the mountains. It was not overly polluted, so it couldn't be cleaner.
She put her hand into the water. The water was a little cold, but it was within the tolerable range.
Liu Jing washed her hands and face quickly, then scooped up the water and started drinking. She didn't know how much she drank, but she felt her stomach was about to be bloated, so she stopped. Then she took out a lot of empty bottles from the ring, put the water in the Chenkong bottle, and after turning off the water, she stood up again and continued to walk forward.
In fact, if Zeng Xubai were here, he would definitely choose a place close to water, which is here, but there are obviously no signs of human life here, so he is not here.
So Liu Jing had to keep moving forward. She didn't know how long she could walk, nor how far she had to go. She just knew that there was no other way except to keep walking and keep searching.
Just as she was about to leave, she stopped.
There seems to be something hanging there.
She turned her head and tiptoed to look in a certain direction. It seemed like something was floating around. Could it be a ghost?
Why don’t she go over and see what a ghost looks like?
Others are afraid of ghosts but not people, but Liu Jing is absolutely brave. She is not afraid of people, and she is worthy of being called a ghost. She fights people herself, and as for ghosts, she has never done anything harmful to the world, so naturally she is not afraid of ghosts coming to her door.
She approached there little by little, until she stood in front of those things, but the world in front of her suddenly became blurry.
It was not until she blinked away the mist in her eyes that she moved forward and walked towards the floating things.
Of course it wasn't a ghost, nor anything else, but a bed sheet that she had bought. It was a purely hand-woven bed sheet. She had seen it outside once and bought a lot of it. She knew that such purely hand-woven coarse cloth bed sheets would rarely be available in the future.
Even if she could buy it, it might not be genuine, so she bought a lot at that time. It can be said that she almost cleared out the stall.
She also asked Zeng Xubai to pack several sheets, saying that they could use them when they travel in the future. Whether in a hotel or on a train, they were not very clean, so it would be better for them to use their own sheets.
So, she found it, didn't she?
She finally found him.
Just then, there was a bang and the sound of something falling to the ground came from behind.
Liu Liang turned around and saw Zeng Xubai, who was dressed cleanly and neither fat nor thin, standing behind her. But Liu Liang now looked like a refugee who had fled from somewhere. Her clothes were torn, old, and dirty, and she had not changed them. Her hair was a mess, and her hair was already fine and soft, but now it was probably impossible to comb it out.
She is not just a refugee, she is basically a beggar.
"Jingjing..."
Zeng Xubai couldn't believe his eyes, "Why are you here?"
Liu Jing sniffed and dropped the iron rod in her hand to the ground. Thinking about what she had encountered along the way, being thrown down, being rained on, and even falling into a swamp, she had never felt wronged and wanted to cry, but why did she feel so uncomfortable now?
Zeng Xubai hurried over and put his hands on her tangled hair.
"Why are you here?"
His voice was shaking and his eyes were a little red. He had never expected that Liu Jing would appear here. Shouldn't she still be working as a doctor in Xingning? Why did she come here for no reason?
"I came to see you."
Liu Liang sniffed, pulled up Zeng Xubai's sleeve sadly, and wiped her face. Her face was clean, but her hair was covered in dust, and it had even stained Zeng Xubai's clothes black.
But she seemed to be venting something, pulling up Zeng Xubai's sleeve and rubbing it on her face and hair.
"Come with me," Zeng Xubai rubbed the top of her head again. She looked much thinner. It was not easy for her to get here. Even if Liu Liang didn't say anything, Zeng Xubai knew that no matter how she came, she had suffered a lot along the way.
Yes, he suffered a lot. Liu Liang probably suffered hundreds of pounds of hardship.
Zeng Xubai took Liu Liang into a cave.
Someone must have lived here before. It's a good place to escape from the world.
As he spoke, he picked up the kettle on the stove, poured a glass of water for Liu Liang and placed it in Liu Liang's hand. When he touched it, he found that Liu Liang's hand was rough and cold.
He sighed, then held Liu Liang's hands tightly, but he felt very uncomfortable in his heart.
He was afraid of this happening, so he came here without telling her. But she came here anyway. I don't know whether to say she is brave or young and fearless.
Liu Liang held the cup and looked around. It was just as Zeng Xubai had said. This was a good place to escape from the world. The tables and chairs were made of stone. Even if they were left for hundreds or thousands of years, they would not be weathered. Even the door was weathered, and only some rotten wood was left on it. Zeng Xubai hung a bed sheet on it, which could be used as a door curtain. There was a lot of space inside, and there was a small window for ventilation. The floor was also very flat and was kept very clean by Zeng Xubai. Even though he was the only one there, his self-disciplined nature did not change at all.
There was a kettle, a cup, and a photo frame on the stone table. Inside the frame was a photo of her and Zeng Xubai. It was possible that Zeng Xubai would look at the photo frame many times, just like Liu Jing.
They are all looking for a place to rely on, and they are each other's sustenance.
"Are you hungry?"
Zeng Xubai asked Liu Liang, "Your dry little face, how long have you been hungry?"
"I'm hungry."
Liu Jing hadn't eaten yet. She had said she would get some bread to eat later, but she ended up finding this place and Zeng Xubai. In fact, she would be willing to go hungry now. She had finally found Zeng Xubai, and she would no longer be alone.
She put her arms around Zeng Xubai's waist and buried her face in his arms.
She would never be separated from him again.
Without him, Liu Liang is nothing and doesn't want to live anymore.
"I cooked noodles for you. I dug up a lot of wild vegetables. They taste pretty good."
Zeng Xubai said, then patted Liu Jing's shoulder soothingly.
Liu Liang wiped her face with her sleeve, grabbed her hair, and then grinned at Zeng Xubai.
