The modern me and the Republic of China her

Chapter 346

The young man entered the house.

Qilan hurriedly and cautiously followed the wall to the roof.

The roof was covered with a not-so-thin layer of snow and dry thatch, and the places his fingers touched were cold and slippery.

In order not to make any noise and disturb the people at the table who were having a secret meeting in the room, he crawled along the ridge of the roof softly, like a nimble mousecat.

Qi Jiang just took a very short nap for a few minutes, and when he opened his eyes again, Qi Lan, who was squatting beside him, disappeared.

He heard rustling sounds coming from the direction of the top of his head, and immediately understood what happened during his nap.Although he was used to the third brother's character of being selfless for love, the elder brother still widened his eyes in surprise when he saw Qilan slinking around on the roof like acrobatics.

"Come down!" he yelled in a low voice, and hurriedly gestured to the third brother.

Qilan didn't speak, just nodded slightly towards him, expressing that she had her own measure in her heart and still went her own way.

Qi Jiang was about to turn over and jump up to the roof, but he accidentally saw many words engraved on the stone tiles.

The tiles on the roof are very old. Look at the densely carved characters on the stone tiles, all of which are in traditional Chinese and Manchu.

He has read a lot of books, and he can recognize some characters. He quickly recognized the word "Jiaqing", and suddenly realized: the house in front of him is an old and scumbag house.

Qilan is ignorant and fearless.

On the contrary, Qijiang gained a little knowledge and had more worries, so he temporarily gave up the idea of ​​going to the house to expose the roof tiles.

The tiles of this dilapidated old house are brittle and weathered.It is full of weeds, and it has long been vulnerable.

It might not be a problem for the roof to bear the weight of two little sparrows, but it would be frightening to see two lively young men lying on it.

Qi Jiang silently sweated for his younger brother.

This disobedient brother, don't slip and roll off the roof, fall to the ground and get hurt.

Don't go down and step on a hole in the roof, and even drop the broken tiles on the table to make a fool of yourself.

Qilan doesn't need his brother to worry about like an old mother.

His weight is acceptable, especially every movement has been carefully considered in his heart, and he really thinks twice before acting.

The boy breathed a few breaths into his frozen red palms, and his ten fingers gradually regained their dexterity.

Half a piece of loose stone tile was flipped up lightly by him at once, revealing an approximately oval hole.

Seeing the figure below the cave entrance and hearing the clear voice inside, the young man felt a little excited in his heart.

But this little excitement soon calmed down.

Mr. Lin seemed to be announcing the end of the meeting: "Children, eat quickly, it's cold."

Then Li Yan's voice sounded: "I'll heat up food for everyone!"

Lin Yitang still spoke very little, he didn't say anything, put away the bowls and chopsticks, stood up, lowered his head, opened the door and walked out, as if he had something on his mind.

The girl in the yellow dress followed behind, eagerly trying to put a coat on him.

Lin Yitang stopped and turned his head, just in time to see Caiwei standing on tiptoe.

Qilan was not in the mood to see what would happen between the two of them, and stared at Lin Mi intently.

Li Yanre went to eat, and there were only Lin Mi, his father, and a young man wearing glasses at the table.

"Jianhua, our arrival has caused you and your sister a lot of trouble. Thank you very much these days."

Mr. Lin smiled apologetically, and took out a well-preserved pen from his pocket.

"This is for you as a souvenir."

Jianhua looked at the pen, which was brand new with a shiny nib.

Although he had always wanted to buy a good pen, the gift was too expensive to accept.

He shook his head and thanked Mr. Lin for his kindness:
"Uncle Lin, you save this for sister Lin Mi's writing, I have a lot!"

Jianhua has always been grateful to Lin Yitang in his heart.Everything I do is to repay my friend's kindness.

A good brother in childhood and a good friend in this life.

The two brothers and sisters happily came to Peking to take their exams, but they encountered the double blow of their parents' unexpected death and their family's financial ruin.

Both of them are still children, but Caiwei is just 16 years old. While immersed in the pain of losing their parents suddenly, they will soon face the pressure of living without money.

The uncle who is an official in the capital may be afraid of his wife, or maybe it is selfish, so he dare not help them, and finds a lot of reasons to avoid him.

At that time, Lin Yitang gave a sum of money to his uncle's family to help them tide over the difficulties without telling them.

After the brother and sister had an accident at the Lin family, they learned about the overnight change of the Lin family from the newspaper.

His former friend became a prisoner, Jianhua calmly accepted the reality, but worked harder overtime and saved money desperately, thinking that one day he might be able to help the Lin family in the future.

At first he was worried that his sister would be sad because of this, but later he found that Caiwei was much stronger than he thought.

During the days when Lin Yitang was in prison, she went out quietly every day, sometimes to visit Lin's house, and sometimes to visit the police station quietly, rain or shine.

He and Caiwei first rescued Qilan and Li Yan from the ditch on the roadside, and took in Lin Yitang who fled from the hospital. In order to treat their injuries, they went to the pawn shop quietly several times.

Qilan looked at Jianhua, feeling familiar, and suddenly remembered what happened before.

That snowy night, he ran away with the seriously injured Li Yan on his back, accidentally fell into a deep ditch, and lost consciousness from the cold. Fortunately, a pair of brother and sister passing by saved the two of them.

At this moment, Qilan was also a little anxious. He was worried that Mr. Lin would entrust his daughter to this young man wearing glasses.

However, he obviously thinks too much.

Mr. Lin's pen was not sent out in the end.

The child in front of him had sincerity in his eyes.

"I only did what I should do to a good friend, it's nothing to worry about!"

"Uncle Lin, I still have some things to do in the afternoon, so I'm leaving first."

After Jianhua finished speaking, he turned around and went out. Now, only Lin Mi and his father were in the room.

Qilan lay down around the tiles, looking at the hole, eagerly hoping that Lin Mi could say a few words, even if the words were not meant for him.

Lin Mi seems to be thinking about something all the time. When Jianhua comes and leaves, she doesn't make a sound, and is always in her own world.

In front of her father, she suddenly raised her head and said:

"Father, are you determined to take us along?"

Mr. Lin nodded firmly: "Li Yan will go first, and then we will go."

She bit her lip lightly, and said nothing again.

Seeing this, Qilan became more and more anxious, and accidentally smashed a cracked tile next to his palm.

As a small fragment fell directly from the hole onto the table, Lin Mi and his father raised their heads at the same time.

"No, there's someone on the roof!"
