Unknowingly, the sky became darker, and the twilight shrouded it so darkly that the mountains on the opposite side could no longer be seen clearly.
"It seems we have to spend the night here tonight! Brothers, find some firewood to light the fire." Zhao Nan, the most talkative follower, said.
They seemed to be familiar with this kind of sleeping in the wilderness. At that moment, some people went to the back to search for things that could be used as firewood. Unexpectedly, they found a pile of messy firewood on the back porch, and they all carried them over.
.
Zhao Bei was very happy: "We are lucky. I originally thought we were going to break down the doors, windows and tables!"
Zhao Liya couldn't help but said: "...There is such a custom in many places in the Lingnan area. When everyone encounters mountain temples, earth temples, etc. on the mountains, when they come to rest, they will get some firewood from nearby and put them here.
, firstly, it is to show respect for the mountain gods and land gods; secondly, it is also for the convenience of passers-by to warm themselves by the fire, which is a matter of accumulation of virtue. In a place like this, especially in winter, when travelers are tired, they come in to rest.
Being able to light a fire to keep warm is a rare enjoyment."
Zhao Bei and others suddenly realized it and said with a smile: "That's it. The people in Lingnan are really simple and honest, not bad!"
Zhao Nan said: "When we leave tomorrow, let's pick up some firewood and throw it back."
Everyone: "Okay! This is fine!"
Zhou Hansheng raised his eyes to look at Zhao Liya and then lowered his eyes, with some unclear meaning in his eyes.
The accents of these brothers and sisters are not Lingnan accents, but more like Beijing accents - but maybe he heard it wrong and it's hard to tell. After all, he hasn't been back to Beijing in ten years, and these people under him are not from Beijing, so what is the Beijing accent like?
I don’t really remember either.
This girl seems to be very different from the girl from the capital in his impression. Maybe he really remembered it wrong?
The fire burned quickly. The function of the fire in the summer evening was to provide lighting rather than to keep warm, so it didn't need to be very hot, as long as there was bright light.
The rain is still heavy, the sky has completely darkened, and everything is pitch black. The hearing is relatively amplified, the sound of rain is in my ears, and the orange-red flames are beating in front of my eyes. In this dark night, the mountains
In the temple, the fear of unfamiliarity has faded away, and people feel a strange warmth inexplicably.
Zhou Hansheng and his party did not bring any dry food with them. How could they have imagined that the weather in Lingnan was so strange? Inexplicably, they were stopped at the mountain temple.
Zhao Liya and Hu Ling had a lot of snacks in their bags. Zhao Liya bought them specially and planned to take them back for her family to try, such as water chestnut cake, white sugar cake, taro wedges, chicken cakes, sesame rolls, almond cake, roasted cakes, etc.
Wheat, carrot cake, etc. were all contributed at this time, and everyone was invited to taste them together to satisfy their stomachs.
Zhao Nan and others were already hungry, and they became even hungrier after seeing so many delicious foods!
Everyone couldn't help but look at the young master eagerly.
Zhou Hansheng twitched the corner of his mouth without any trace, and was speechless. These things are really useless! When did he become so precious? What happened if he didn't eat a meal?
Zhao Liya smiled slightly when she saw this, and said considerately: "This young master helped me before, and I just reciprocated a favor. Don't dislike it, young master!"
Zhou Hansheng looked at her and nodded gently: "You're welcome, girl."
He glanced at it and said, "Eat."
Zhao Nan and the others thanked him profusely, and personally took a portion to Zhou Hansheng, and then everyone took it.
Zhao Liya and Hu Ling also had something to eat, and then waited for the long night to pass.
There are many people and they are reliable. The advantages are immediately apparent. There is no problem with security. Moreover, the other party has eaten their snacks and will not let them keep vigil at all.
Zhao Liya and Hu Ling can just spend the night in peace and contentment.
In mid-June, the weather is already very hot during the day. If you are at home at night, covering yourself with a thin blanket when sleeping is enough.
However, it is raining now and we are in the mountains, so the temperature can be imagined.
Even when she was sitting next to the fire and the mountain wind carrying water vapor swept in, Zhao Liya could not help but shudder, covering her face and sneezing several times in a row, "Sneeze! Sneeze!"
Hu Ling became anxious when he saw it, "How are you? This -"
He didn't know what to do in this wilderness. In summer, his clothes were so thin that he couldn't take off even one piece for Zhao Liya.
Zhao Liya sniffed and smiled: "It's okay, my body is not that weak! Just warm up by the fire."
When I leave here tomorrow and go to the village, I will ask for a bowl of hot ginger soup and buy a pair of clean clothes to change into.
To be honest, Zhao Liya was also a little nervous. Getting sick was a big trouble and she must not get sick...
"Miss Zhao," Zhao Nan came over at some point, handed her a bamboo-green cloak with dark patterns, and said with a smile: "This belongs to our young master, it's clean. If Miss Zhao doesn't mind, just put it on.
"
Zhao Liya was stunned and subconsciously looked up at Mr. Zhou.
Zhou Hansheng met her eyes and nodded slightly stiffly. He was a little embarrassed... After all, he had never done such a thing. He was not a nosy person, nor was he soft-hearted.
People think that with such a large group of people eating so many snacks, we can't just watch people get cold, right?
Zhao Liya didn't know that he was having a lot of drama in his heart, so she was secretly happy when she saw this, and smiled at him, "Thank you, Mr. Zhou!"
After saying that, he took the cloak, unfolded it and put it on his body.
Warmth comes and wraps around the whole body. The tight pores all over the body instantly open up and feel much more comfortable.
Amitabha, fortunately I met Mr. Zhou and the others, otherwise I would have really caught the wind and cold.
These days, this is no small matter.
Hu Ling subconsciously frowned slightly, feeling a little wary and worried. He felt that this was not good. How could his sister use the cloak of a strange young man?
But at this special time, we can’t use it...
Hu Ling had no choice but to pretend that everything was normal and said nothing. He secretly decided that no matter what time of year he went out in the future, he would remind his girl to bring an extra piece of clothing.
The ticking and ticking continued almost all night. The next morning, the sky finally cleared up.
Everyone was refreshed and wanted to leave this miserable place immediately!
I thought we would part ways here, but unexpectedly everyone walked in the same direction. After asking around, they all found out they were all going to Gaolian County.
This is...a little bit embarrassing.
It seems that both parties are a bit shy about telling each other their destinations, so even when they were chatting in a good atmosphere last night, both parties had a tacit understanding and did not ask each other where they were going.
Everyone thought so, and then they went their separate ways, leaving behind a beautiful memory and never seeing each other again - the perfect realm of chance encounters!
did not expect...... This chapter has been completed!
