Cheng Lu didn't know how far she went. She just felt that she seemed to be in the car all the time and looked at the scenery along the way. She didn't expect to find a place to settle down, but where was she?

Passing by the city, everyone was busy, and the flow of people and vehicles flowed quickly in front of her, making her heart more helpless.

When she walked through the countryside, everything there seemed so out of place. Day by day, she was like a bird crossing the sea. Although she was exhausted, she had no place to stay.

Tired, really tired.

The mobile phone has been out of power for several days. Her clothes are dirty. She hasn't slept in bed for a long time and hasn't eaten a meal seriously. She feels she's on the verge of collapse.

The train announcer is broadcasting the station ahead, Siping, a familiar name.

Cheng Lu couldn't help but move in her heart. The past appeared in her mind. She couldn't help picking out a faint smile from the corners of her mouth. She stood up.

According to her memory, she got on a minibus, turned on the steep winding mountain highway for almost two hours, and finally arrived at the station.

Here it is!

Where Li Tingchen once wanted to live in seclusion, there were her happiest times and

She walked slowly up the mountain. If she hadn't been to protect her, Xiao Zheng wouldn't have been beaten into dementia or died of serious injury.

There are two bowls in front of Xiao Zheng's grave, in which there are fresh looking fruits, and there is also a small pile of grass in front of the grave of the old cow next to him. Aunt Liu must often come to visit them.

"Xiao Zheng!" tears fell down: "I'm sorry I haven't come to see you for so long."

The breeze in the mountain forest caresses slightly. Cheng Lu sits in front of Xiao Zheng's tomb. Those grievances suppressed in the bottom of her heart are released in an instant. From silent sobbing, she gradually turns into silent crying.

When she was sad and couldn't restrain herself, she felt a furry and wet thing touching herself at her feet. Cheng Lu thought it was a mouse and jumped up in fear. However, she listened to a wheezing sound. A big dog was wagging its tail violently at her.

"You?" Cheng Lu looked at it carefully. "Are you rhubarb?"

The dog seemed happier, jumping around Cheng Lu, rubbing his big head back and forth on her legs, and licking her with his big tongue.

"Rhubarb, you've grown so big!" Cheng Lu remembered that when she left, the dog was not much bigger than her feet. Now it's so big. Time flies.

Following rhubarb down the mountain, at first Cheng Lu wanted to go to Aunt Liu's house, but she thought it was inappropriate. She came to the place where they used to live. The big iron was locked and looked through the crack of the door. The yard was cleaned very clean, not like no one had lived for so long.

Cheng Lu hesitated. Is the house already occupied, if so?

Looking at the dark day, the wind in the mountains and forests also became fierce. If rhubarb hadn't skillfully stood by her, Cheng Lu really had some fear.

Rhubarb turned around her a few more times and arched the arch with his head. Seeing her standing still, rhubarb suddenly ran away.

Even the dog began to dislike her.

Thinking about it, rhubarb came running with something in his mouth. It was actually a key.

Cheng Lu was surprised and happy. She hesitated to open the door.

The yard is very clean. Although the room is also very clean, it has a cold feeling, unlike someone living here.

The recliner was still placed in the old place. Kindness rushed up immediately. Cheng Lu walked over and sat down gently. The whole person immediately felt very tired, tired, really tired.

Vaguely heard the sound of someone going upstairs. Cheng Lu woke up in her sleep and stared nervously at the room on the stairs. The atmosphere dared not go out.

Lying at her feet, rhubarb stood up, wagged his tail and ran over.

"Rhubarb, how did you get in!" the familiar voice came. Cheng Lu's eyes were wet again, and she stood up.

"Who!" the sound of the recliner startled Aunt Liu and screamed.

"Aunt, it's me!" Cheng Lu passed slowly in a slow voice: "Xiao Lu."

"Little Lu girl!" Aunt Liu looked at her in surprise and looked around: "are you alone? Where are Mr. Li and Mr. Shen? You?"

With so many questions, Cheng Lu didn't want to answer any of them and couldn't answer them. She just smiled awkwardly, "Mom Liu, you must clean up here often."

"Hehe, I can't stay idle when I'm old. I'll come and have a look if I have nothing to do." Aunt Liu also changed the topic. "You haven't eaten so late. Wait for me to bring you something to eat!"

"Aunt, it's so late. Don't bother. I'm not hungry!"

"People are iron, rice is steel, how can we not eat!" Aunt Liu hurriedly went downstairs: "no trouble, there is a cake I made today!"

Mrs. Liu brought two hot fried dishes and a bowl of soup. It looked like it was newly made.

Looking at the meals, Cheng Lu's eyes turned red again.

There are also her clothes in the room, which are clean and smell of sunshine. Aunt Liu said that when the day is good, she will take out these clothes and bedding to dry. In case they come back one day, they don't have to sleep in the damp quilt.

"It's getting late, you have a good rest!" Aunt Liu patted rhubarb's head: "you're here to protect Miss Xiaolu, do you hear me?"

Rhubarb barked twice, and the brain bag was high, as if she really understood Aunt Liu's words.

Cheng Lu settled down here. She also asked Aunt Liu not to tell anyone that she was here. She wanted to have a good rest.

The days became calm. Although the terrain here was remote, there was everything. The satellite network installed by Shen Jun was also running normally. Cheng Lu made some small design drawings on the Internet every day and collected rice with Aunt Liu's bank card. On the one hand, Li Tingchen and them would not find themselves. On the other hand, Aunt Liu took care of her life and drink every day, which was more or less a reward.

When she was free, she took rhubarb and its little friends to the mountain. It was near the end of autumn. There were so many similar mushrooms on the mountain. She took a small basket to pick up the mushrooms. Of course, Aunt Liu would pick them one by one and quickly throw them into the fire.

She has always lived in the city. Suddenly, she is so quiet, especially when she returns to the old place. Without Li Tingchen's company, she seems so lonely. However, since she can't get what she wants, why should she bother again?

It's easy to get used to a quiet life. She rises at sunrise and rests at sunset every day, plain but peaceful. All this seems to be what she wants.

"Didi!" the car horn sounded outside the gate, and rhubarb rushed out with his little partner screaming.

Cheng Lu, who was drawing the design drawing, was frightened by the noise and hurried to the balcony to look out. Did Li Tingchen find them?
