Chapter 23

With complicated thoughts in mind, he looked up at the sun rising into the sky, it was extremely hot, and the wet clothes of the two of them were quickly dried.

Yang Jiayin stood up and helped Li Jinyang clean up the weeds that were entangled in his hair. He couldn't care less about grooming. He started looking for anyone living nearby, and asked where this place was, and how far it was from Xiaoling Village.

When I walked to the ground where my feet were covered with blisters, I saw several farmhouses of different heights. The front door had a big yellow dog tied to it, and a few chickens and ducks were catching insects freely on the grass.

A middle-aged uncle was waving a whip and plowing the field.

"Uncle, what is this place?"

Seeing hope, Yang Jiayin happily ran to the horizon regardless of her red and swollen feet, and asked the uncle, "Do you know Xiaoling Village? Is it far from Xiaoling Village?"

When he heard the first sentence, the uncle stopped what he was doing, and took a closer look at Yang Jiayin and Li Jinyang. After seeing the two of them in such a messy outfit, he realized that he must have encountered a robber , Poor two babies...

But after hearing "Xiaoling Village", the uncle looked at Yang Jiayin as if he was insane, and replied in a low voice, "This is Daling Village, do you think I know where Xiaoling Village is?!"

Daling Village and Xiaoling Village have similar names. Could it be that Xiaoling Village is the younger brother of Daling Village?
Yang Jiayin fell into wild thoughts for an instant.

"Uncle, which direction is Xiaoling Village?"

Seeing that Yang Jiayin remained silent, he must have been provoked by the uncle's words. Thinking of her violent temper, Li Jinyang quickly covered her behind him and asked the uncle politely.

"Here."

The uncle turned his head and pointed in a direction, then continued to bury his head in the field.

"..."

Now, Li Jinyang was also a little at a loss.

Although he has lived in Xiaoling Village for nearly 21 years, except for going to the city, he stays at home, no one speaks, no one is with him... The life between two points and one line is a bit boring, which makes him even more taciturn.

Right now, he knew in his heart that Daling Village and Xiaoling Village must have something to do with each other, but he really couldn't find his way home.

But the uncle also shook the plow and walked away. Li Jinyang hurriedly dragged Yang Jiayin, who was still wandering in his mind, to the direction pointed by the uncle, and walked back to the shore where the waves washed up.

They were too hungry to walk, and the two discussed it. Yang Jiayin was in charge of drying firewood and picking up some dead branches, while Li Jinyang found a thick branch on the ground, sharpened its head on a stone, and went down to the river to fork it. fish.

The efficiency of the hungry two was quite high, and they ate grilled fish in less than half an hour.

After filling our stomachs, we continued on our way home.

At first, I thought that the uncle just pointed at them, but he didn't want to talk to them. Fortunately, after turning over the mountain, they saw the familiar Xiaoling Village. The two looked at each other excitedly, and ran down the mountain holding hands.

Standing in front of the dilapidated courtyard gate, Li Jinyang reached out to dial the latch behind him, Yang Jiayin felt his nose ache.

She was determined to leave, but after experiencing so many dangers this time, standing in a familiar yet unfamiliar place, she was actually very excited.

After regaining consciousness, the two had already entered the yard, and Li Jinyang waved his hoe and prepared to plant vegetables regardless of rest.

Yang Jiayin wiped her wet eyes, and then suddenly realized that the reason why she was more excited than Li Jinyang was because she already regarded this place as her home!
