Chapter 401 Just Come Back
On the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, Yunshu returned to Yinyun County.

It was several hours away from home, and she was dragging two suitcases, looking around while walking, and the speed was not fast.

The fog in the mountains is heavy, and after the sun comes out, it slowly drives away part of it, and the rest is surrounded by grass and trees, although it is ready to wet passers-by.

She wrapped the scarf halfway around her head in advance as a half hat, and occasionally stopped to look at the familiar plants and trees, and watched her breath turn into white mist in mid-air.

The air here is icy cold, but she still took a big breath, and then "ha" twice to scare away the flying insects in the road ahead.

Seeing a butterfly flying out, she reached out to catch it.

All the luggage, including the expensive mobile phone, was put in her suitcase and locked firmly. There were only a few hundred dollars in her pocket, and she didn't have any gadgets in her hands, so she could free her hands after walking a short distance. Here Slap it, poke it, touch it there.

After walking and stopping until the afternoon, I turned over the two mountains.

After turning over the last mountain top from the dirt road, the village below is in front of you.It was still the last look she turned her head to look at when she left, quiet and peaceful.

But also poor and backward.

In a field halfway up the mountain, someone stood up, squinted his eyes, and shouted uncertainly, "...Yun Zaier?"

Yunshu raised her head, clenched her hands on the handle of the suitcase, moved her throat slightly, and called out, "San Niang."

Yun Sanniang put down the hoe in her hand, walked up to her, and looked at her changes with loving eyes.

"It's really you. After walking for half a year, I thought you couldn't find your way home, and I wanted to ask your second brother to go to the county to look for it. It's almost the New Year. I don't know if you are doing well outside. ..."

Yun Shu suddenly threw herself into her arms, and the grievances that had been suppressed in her heart for the past six months turned into tears, her sobs couldn't stop.

It turns out that the refreshment of revenge is not the ending emotion. The unknown feeling has lasted until now, and it has really left the heart that has been lingering for a long time along with the cry.

The cry was pitiful, and as soon as she heard it, she knew that she was not doing well outside, and she didn't know what wronged her. She cried so sadly. When her father passed away, she just shed tears silently.

Yun Sanniang sighed, and gently patted her on the back: "It's good to be back, it's good to be back."

Yunshu didn't say what happened to her in the past six months, and Sanniang didn't ask. The two hugged each other for a while, and then went into the village carrying the box.

Everyone in the village was very familiar with Yun Shu, but they were a little afraid to recognize her, and they didn't say hello until they saw who this long-haired pretty girl was.

She called people all the way to the door of the house, looked at the familiar house, stood there, and didn't go in immediately.

Their house is a tile-roofed house with earthen walls, but it is said that old craftsmen were hired to ram the foundation of the house, and the materials used are also solid. The earthen wall has not collapsed in the past few decades, and it is stronger than the blue brick house.

And the earth house has an advantage, it is warm in winter and cool in summer, and the beams of the house are raised again, so the wind blows in at night in summer, which is very cool.

The house is still the same now, but the laundry pool outside is covered with a thin layer of mud, and two half-person-high grasses have grown out. One can imagine how much dust has fallen inside.

San Niang pulled her and wanted to go further: "Your house can't be cleaned out today, go to my place."

"No need," she carried the suitcase in, turned her head and gave a small smile, "I might bother you for eating, but I'll clean up the house before I come back."

And I have to contact Gu Xingze, I don't know if he saw the note when he went home.

Sending Sanniang away, she dug out a shaped clod from a place on the wall, and found the key to open the door from inside.

It was a small hole she dug out with ants when she was a child. Later, her mother used it to store keys. This habit has not changed.

Sure enough, there was a lot of dust in the house, and the air was dry and pungent.

But she didn't clean it right away, but took out her mobile phone from the suitcase, opened it and looked at it.

Gu Xing made a lot of phone calls and even sent messages, mainly saying that he had found someone to pick her up, and by the way asked her when she would go back and why she didn't answer the phone.

Yun Shu finished reading and called back.

The other side picked up immediately, but the signal may be bad in the mountainous area, and the voice was noisy and intermittent.

"Why didn't you... call..."

She frowned, raised her phone and shook it.

"Hello? Gu Xingze?"

"... Can't hear... what... come back... you send a message..."

She shook it again, but still couldn't hear clearly, so she simply answered by herself:

"I put my phone in a box, and I didn't hear any sound for the first two days. I just got home, and I haven't lost it. I haven't figured out when I will come back. It may be a year or so, not too long. The signal here is not good, wait I'll call you when I have time to go to the county seat."

After thinking about it, he said, "I left a note for you in the room, did you see it? I'll be back, don't worry."

There was still buzzing over there, she listened carefully for a while, but still couldn't hear clearly, so she simply hung up.

However, she remembered Gu Xingze's habit every time she called, and said the closing words softly before hanging up.

"I miss you too, bye."

In the evening, I went to Sanniang's house for dinner.

It was getting dark early, and dim low-wattage light bulbs were lit in the dining room. The simple steamed sausage had just come out of the pan, and under the lamp was steam with a salty aroma.

Yun Shu didn't go empty-handed, she brought something to share with them at the threshold.

"This is the comb, towel, toothbrush cup and book for Sister Yunduo." There are also sanitary napkins.

In many families, several people share some daily necessities. When the girls grow up, they always complain when they get together, hoping to have something that belongs only to them.

She took out the other books and boxed pens and distributed them to the eldest sister, the second brother and the younger brother in three.

The little brother named Yunyan spread his hands out of embarrassment, and gave her a piece of Dingding candy in return.

She ate it with a smile, and put the rest in front of third uncle.

"Third Uncle's earmuffs, Sanniang's shoes." It's not a year or two since Sanshu's ears got cold. When she was a child, she still laughed with her father, saying that Sanniang had nagged her to death.

The earmuffs were made of leather and looked of good quality. The middle-aged man under the light touched them lovingly and put them back.

"There's no need to buy this, it costs you so much money. You don't know if you've had enough to eat when you're out alone. Buying these is just to have a meal, no need..."

Yun Shu pressed his hand and stuffed something to him.

"When Dad was in the hospital, my third uncle traveled so far to deliver things a few times, and I remember them all. You dragged him back and buried him, and I remember it very clearly."

If it wasn't for their help, she would only cry while guarding the corpse.

Seeing that he still didn't accept it, Yun Shu said, "It's not just for you, I have prepared things for those who have helped. I also need to trouble Sanniang to take me to buy some meat tomorrow. I heard that the fifth uncle is just like this." It’s winter, it’s better to eat two more pieces of meat before you die.”

The third uncle didn't say anything, and looked at her under the dim light. Her fair skin and delicate appearance were astonishingly beautiful, and she didn't look like a child who could grow up in such a dirt hole.

"Go and burn some paper for your parents at the beginning of the year. They must be happy to know what you are like now."
