Coming out of Linhai Mountain, the fine, dense drizzle had stopped...
After the rain, the sky cleared up, and the horizon was covered with orange light...
It was not until he reached the foot of the mountain that Hua Shi came to his senses. The basket in his hand was heavy with the dead roe deer.
She turned around and looked at the muddy road behind her. It was empty, with no trace of anything else...
She was able to get out of the forest so smoothly thanks to a gray-haired wolf that led her to the intersection down the mountain.
Before leading her to the road almost out of the mountain, the gray wolf turned around and went back into the depths of the forest. She walked down the mountain path for a while and soon reached the foot of the mountain.
After the rain stopped, there was still white fog in the forest and cool breeze.
The place where she got lost was actually not far from the foot of the mountain, but the fog was so thick that it blinded her and made her lose her way.
After a drizzle, drops of water dripped on the tender green leaves. She walked along the mountain path to the small woods at the foot of the mountain. Most of her trouser legs were wet by the water droplets on the leaves, and a large piece of mud was stuck to the soles of her feet, making her very uncomfortable.
She stood in the woods, frowning as she thought back to the results of her search in the mountains...
She didn't notice it at first, but now thinking back, she realized that she had carefully checked the mountain trail all the way up the mountain, and found no signs of anyone passing by.
At that time, I thought Hua Yu took another route into the mountain. Now that I think about it, maybe Hua Yu didn't even enter the mountain, but was delayed by something...
When they were at the gate of the Hua family's courtyard, Hua Yu's expression was so determined, he insisted on his own way and refused to listen to any advice. She thought that he must be going into the mountains this time...
Hua Shi rubbed his forehead with a headache, and thought of the things that happened one after another in the mountains, and felt a little complicated.
Although it was an accident, it seemed to allow her to see another unknown side of Lin Haishan...
…
After coming out of the mountain, Hua Shi thought carefully and remembered the deserted temple that Hua Yu took them to that night...
Following her memory, she walked towards the grove and climbed up the bumpy steps, where there were puddles filled with sewage everywhere.
Passing through the dilapidated front hall in front, as I got closer, I heard a faint sound coming from inside...
Hua Shi's face paused. That low voice sounded familiar...
"Hua Yu? Is that you...?"
Hanashi hesitated before speaking and walked towards the direction where the sound came from.
“Tatta…”
The sound of shoes dragging on the sand was clearly audible.
Under the eaves, which were only half covered by tiles, an old woman with white hair sat on a collapsed beam. In front of the old woman stood a figure with a hunched back and hunched legs...
Hua Shi recognized Hua Yu at a glance.
"Hua Yu, it's really you..."
She breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards the two men.
Hearing her voice, the old man and the young man looked up at the same time and looked towards her.
Hua Yu's expression changed, and then the look in his eyes became a little colder, looking at her expressionlessly.
Obviously, she is not welcome...
Although the white-haired old woman had a puzzled look in her eyes, she could tell at a glance that the two knew each other, so she did not take the initiative to speak.
Hua Yu looked at her, noticing her wet trouser legs and the basket she was holding on her arm. There seemed to be blood dripping from the bottom of the basket. He moved his lips and asked, "Did you go into the mountains?"
Hua Shi put the basket on the ground to one side and looked at him unhappily, "Yeah, I followed you out. I thought you went into the mountains, so I ran in to look for you."
Hua Yu said with a cold face, "I didn't ask you to follow me, who asked you to follow me?"
"You little heartless one..."
Listening to his cold words and unchanged expression, Hua Shi muttered softly. Seeing that his clothes were dry and his shoes were not wet, it was obvious that he did not go into the mountains.
"Little girl, what's your name? Are you here to look for Xiaoyu? Xiaoyu was delayed because he saved me."
The old woman, who had been silent all this time, suddenly looked at Hua Shi with a smile and began to explain.
The old woman pounded her numb legs and continued, "I'm old now. When I was picking tea leaves and coming back, I accidentally fell and hurt my leg. Xiaoyu happened to pass by and saw me. He wanted to take me home, but it suddenly started to rain, so he carried me here to take shelter. We were just about to go back when you came over."
The old woman spoke in a calm tone as she told the story.
Hua Shi looked up at the old woman and saw that there was a little mud on her trouser legs, and a large area was concentrated at her knees.
She paused, softened her tone, and then said, "My name is Hua Shi, and I'm A Yu's sister."
The old woman nodded, her smile still there. The wrinkles on her face were piled up together, and when she spoke, one could vaguely see that one or two teeth were missing.
She looked to be in her sixties or seventies, her hair was completely white, and her exposed hands and feet were skinny and bony, but her hair was neatly groomed. She was wearing a long shirt and trousers made of a dark purple material, and cloth shoes on her feet.
Although they don't look wealthy, in the entire Shoushan Village, they are the only family that can wear clothes and cloth shoes made of dyed cloth, which obviously means they have no worries about food and clothing and are considered to be wealthy.
She had been in Shoushan Village for so long, and every time she met the villagers, most of them were wearing coarse cloth and straw sandals. She had never seen them dressed like this...
She was so stunned that she was stunned for a moment.
Living a tight life for too long and not having enough food to eat left her with little time to think about dressing up. She almost forgot what it was like to change clothes normally and wear shoes that didn't hurt her feet.
The economic base determines the superstructure. As expected, I still need to make money to change my current embarrassing living conditions...
