Jun Sheng stared at the thin back in front of him tightly, and didn't dare to take his eyes off for a moment, she had already followed him a few streets, along the way, he went to the pastry shop to buy snacks, went to the sewing shop to buy sewing and thread, went to the tailor shop to make clothes, and finally went to the bath to take a bath.
Now, as if he had finally had enough shopping, he looked around outside the bathhouse for a while, and then suddenly walked out of the city like a wind under his feet.
Jun Sheng's legs were numb from being tired at the moment, but when he saw his right ear walking straight towards the city gate, he didn't dare to delay at all, and trotted all the way out of Xin'an City.
The two of them walked one after the other, and the one in front of them walked like a fly, but they stopped as soon as they walked, picked up flowers, chased butterflies, and fed the fish in the lake, leisurely and happy.
The one in the back was panting and nervous, and he hid all the way, for fear of being discovered.
But even so, Jun Sheng still lost his right ear on a sheep intestine path, obviously his figure was not far in front just now, but the moment she bent down to lift her shoes, she disappeared.
Jun Sheng was shocked, ran two steps forward, turned around and looked around, but she looked left and right, up and down, but she didn't see the thin figure in coarse cloth.
The right ear disappeared out of thin air.
Jun Sheng stood in place and beat his chest for a long time, before he had to give up this "tracking", sighed and walked in the direction of Xin'an City, but as soon as she took two steps, she stepped on a stone unexpectedly, and the already thin soles of her shoes broke off with a "stab" sound on the sharp edges and corners of the stone, revealing the soles of her feet wearing white socks.
Jun Sheng was annoyed, she simply took off her shoes, and tentatively walked a few steps forward, the road here is not as smooth as in the city, it is paved with stones, plus it rained all night last night, and the soles of her feet are wet and slippery when she walks on them, which is very uncomfortable.
She had no choice but to pick up a fairly clean stone and sit on the side of the road, looking carefully among the weeds, hoping to find something to bind her feet for a while, so that she could walk home.
She only looked down, but she didn't notice that someone was walking slowly from the other end of the path, and stopped when she walked to her, and looked directly at a jade plaque hanging from her waist, the jade plaque was in good condition, and did not show a trace of impurities in the sunlight, the man stared at it for a while, and then spoke, "Girl, are your shoes broken?"
Do you want to go to the old man's house, and let me make up a few stitches for you with a needle and thread. ” Jun Sheng was startled by this old voice, and she realized that she was blocked by a black shadow, so she raised her head and looked at the kind person in front of her.
It was an old woman, who looked like she was in her sixtieth year, with most of her hair half white, and a messy bun on the back of her head.
A pair of eyes sunken into the skin, glowing with an obscure light, and a nose that was very high, the tip of which was long and curved, like the beak of an eagle.
She carried a large bamboo basket behind her, which was full of cyan cloth umbrellas, the bamboo basket did not look light, but she carried it effortlessly, obviously she was used to it.
"Girl," the old woman reached out and grabbed Jun Sheng's wrist, Jun Sheng was startled by this hand, under its thin layer of skin is a raised blood vessel, cyan, thick like an earthworm, at first glance it is a pair of hands that have not stopped, "Let's go, my house is behind the mountain bag in front, I have made umbrellas for a lifetime, sold umbrellas for a lifetime, and the craftsmanship of threading and sewing needles is still there, your shoes are really useless, let the old body help you." ” Jun Sheng quickly stood up and saluted her deeply, "Thank you, mother-in-law, these shoes are really broken, I am worried about how to go back, fortunately I met you, but I don't know how to call you old?"
” The old woman helped Jun Sheng to walk forward, "You can call me Granny Zhong, by the way, why did the girl come here alone?"
It's remote here, and there aren't a few families living in total, so aren't you afraid of meeting bad people when you come alone?
” "I" Jun Sheng just wanted to tell about Cuiyu's disappearance, but suddenly thought that the government had not yet solved the case, and he hastily and discriminately revealed it, which might have an impact on the case, so he swallowed the words back, "I originally came out with my sisters to enjoy the autumn, but there were many people on the mountain, and I got lost with them, so I came here alone." ” Granny Zhong glanced at her and said slowly, "You are a girl's family, it is better to be careful, although the world is peaceful now, much stronger than before, but there are always a few bold and fierce, you are a daughter like a flower, it is always not safe to go out alone. ” Jun Sheng nodded yes again and again, and the two of them went around the mountain bag and saw two houses not far away, one of which was big and bright, the roof was smoky, and the green space in front of the door was furrowed, and the other was small and broken, the courtyard wall and the house were blackened by smoke, and there was moss crawling on the courtyard door, which had obviously been built for many years, and no one had taken care of it for a long time.
Granny Zhong carried Junsheng around the brand-new house and came to the door of her house, she opened the courtyard door, turned back and smiled at Junsheng embarrassedly, "I live in this house alone, it is inevitable that it will be a little simpler, don't mind, girl." ” Jun Sheng hurriedly shook his head and said no, but he had already stepped into the courtyard gate, the courtyard was very small, and there were only two rooms in it, one was for residents, and the other was a stove house for cooking.
There is a vegetable patch behind the house, and there are a lot of vegetables, which looks dense.
The door was not locked, Granny Zhong pushed the door open, beckoned Jun Sheng to come in, and before the two of them could sit down, there was a sudden sound of calling the door outside the courtyard, "Mother-in-law, it's you back, my mother made dumplings today, let me bring you a bowl." ” Granny Zhong was stunned for a moment, and said outside the door, "I have a handful of old bones, and I can't eat anything, so I'll leave it for you and your mother to eat." ” "Mother-in-law, don't be polite to us, my mother has a lot of bags, two big cages, where can the two of us eat, I sent it to you."
The person outside the door walked in as he spoke, and when he saw Jun Sheng in the house, he was stunned for a moment, and then smiled shyly, "Yo, your family has a guest, I knew that I would bring some more." ” Jun Sheng watched the person walk into the room, the outline gradually became clear, and he couldn't help but "chuckle" in his heart, isn't this the Zhang Gongzi that they met on the mountain yesterday?
It was because of him that Cuiyu got separated from them, and later met the strange man in the forest.
Granny Zhong stood up, "This is a girl I met occasionally outside, her shoes are broken, I asked her to come to the house so that I can help her make up for it." ”
