The modern me and the Republic of China her

Chapter 415
In front of Qilan, the little boy devoured the roasted sweet potatoes and farted recklessly.Li Yan, the master in name, felt that he couldn't hold back his face. "How did I teach you, you have to be polite when dealing with people!"

"After eating sweet potatoes, I will wash more tomorrow—three baskets—radishes!" I ate up all three remaining sweet potatoes in less than 2 minutes.He opened his mouth suddenly, with a bitter look on his face, he ate too fast and choked.

Qilan sympathetically found a bowl by the stove and poured some water for him: "Eat slowly, drink water first."

The little apprentice gratefully took the bowl, took a big gulp, and patted his stomach: "Thank you, little brother! It can be regarded as falling."

After he was full and went back to sleep in the firewood room, Li Yan called Qilan to go upstairs.The two walked through the dining hall one after the other, the dark and greasy wooden stairs, smelling all kinds of mixed smells in the inn.

"Brother Li, this place is not suitable for patients to live for a long time. I'll take you to a better place at dawn."

"It's not about the money. The young master hasn't been found yet, and Caiwei and Jianhua are not here. If they leave so soon, the three of them won't be able to find us when they come back."

"Mi'er and her father moved first, you stay here. Wait for them to come one after another, and then go to the new place together."

Li Yan was silent at first.He didn't want everyone to follow Qilan's arrangement.Upstairs, both of them heard the "squeak" mouse call at the same time.Three or five drunk men who had been up all night walked past them carelessly, smelling bad smell.

He couldn't help frowning.The environment of the ground floor inn is too bad.Not to mention someone like Lin Mi's father who was seriously ill, even he, a good guy who grew up cooking in the army, couldn't bear it.

"Okay, listen to you, move at dawn."

Early the next morning, the rooster crowed three times, Mr. Lin took the medicine, and his energy was much better than before.He was helped out of bed by his daughter.Qilan and Li Yan, who had been guarding the door all night, heard noises in the room, so they knocked lightly on the door and entered.

After weighing the pros and cons, he thanked the two young men. "It's good to change places. Don't choose expensive ones. Just clean ones."

Qilan went to the side of the road to stop the carriage.Li Yan packed several big bags with his hands and feet, and carried them heavily in his hands.Lin Mi helped his father to go downstairs slowly.It was not full light.On the snowy road, no one found a carriage driving them away in a hurry.

Beside a stone bridge in the distance, a gray figure was swaying.Lin Yitang spent three full days experiencing the life of the homeless.

The son of an aristocratic family who was well-clothed and well-fed since he was a child, is now destitute and homeless. He often feels that God is playing tricks on him.Originally living well in the south, going north to marry his cousin rewrote his fate overnight.

In the past few days, Caiwei looked for him all over the city as if possessed by a demon.She forgot to sleep and eat and run in the streets and alleys.Every possible place she could think of, she ran non-stop.

When Yitang was wandering on the road, two or three times, as long as he turned his head inadvertently, he could see her figure appearing nearby.But he was depressed and indifferent to everything around him, so he missed the chance of being found by her.

He got tired of walking around and couldn't tell the direction of north, south, south, east, and west more and more.When you see the winding alleys, you instinctively avoid them.In this way, I turned to a straight road without knowing it.

Lin's house is facing the endless Wenmo Road.When everything in front of him gradually became clear as the sun rose, he realized in a daze that he was actually standing in front of the most familiar building.

His eyes fell on a row of portraits pasted on the wall.While sneering, he shook his head: "The painting is too bad. No wonder we can't be caught. It turns out that the painter is not good enough."

This morning, on the busy street, an old fortune teller in ragged clothes lost his legs and fell to the ground.Caiwei passing by was afraid that he would be hit by a car, so she ran to help the old man up with both hands kindly.Just about to leave, the old man stopped her:

"Thank you, girl, I will tell you a fortune, no money."

Caiwei was dizzy looking for a room.She didn't believe in ghosts and gods before, but she was willing to believe in divination.She looked devoutly at a bamboo tube held by the old man, "Old man, I am looking for someone, can you do the math for me?"

"Crack!" A blackened stick fell out of the bamboo tube.The old man picked it up carefully, and looked at it mysteriously: "This person is in the east direction, and it will be successful today!"

As soon as this remark came out, Caiwei was stunned.Isn't the place where she is standing to the east the Lin's house?

"Thank you!" When she got excited, she forgot that the old man had said about free fortune-telling, she took out a handful of change from her small bag and stuffed it into his hand, and hurriedly walked towards Lin's house.

It was approaching noon, and the sun was relentlessly illuminating the entire forest house.When Caiwei arrived, Lin Yitang was leaning against a nearby tree, basking in the sun casually.

"Cousin brother! You are here!" She ran towards him, surprise in her bright eyes.

He turned his head to the side, and a gentle girl was smiling at him.There was a sudden warmth in his heart.

At the same time, I couldn't help feeling that the short three or four days of wandering life was about to come to an end, and I still didn't accomplish anything.

She took his arm involuntarily and touched his face distressedly. "I'm thinner again. Can you stop torturing yourself? Both my brother and I feel that life will become smoother and smoother. You also have to believe it, okay?"

"Caiwei," Yitang gently took away her soft little hand, "I am an upright man. If I am humiliated and still live on, it would be better to die vigorously."

Seeing his face darken, the young girl thought that she had said something wrong and made people unhappy, so she squeezed her two small lips so that they were only the size of a cherry.

Yitang did not intend to go back with her.But he couldn't think of any good way to send Caiwei home alone, and continued to wander outside.

Although the watch has been taken away by the guards in the prison, he still maintains his sensitivity to time.The shadows in the sun are constantly changing.He realized he had to eat right away or he would be too hungry to walk.

Some people are selling freshly baked sesame seeds on the street.Yitang walked over, paid the money, took one for himself, and gave the rest of the bag to Caiwei. "Jianhua, has he gone home? If he can't come back after working overtime, you sister can go and see him with some biscuits."

She hasn't returned to the inn since she came out to find someone.Whether Jianhua went back or worked overtime at the newspaper, my sister was not sure.

Just as Caiwei was guessing based on experience, a boy selling newspapers waved a newspaper on the opposite street and shouted loudly: "Sell newspapers, sell newspapers! The owner of Huaxia Hotel lost his daughter and closed for three months!"

"My cousin, I'll go buy a newspaper first. I know my brother's pseudonym. If he has a longer article on it, he may not come home."

Lin Yitang did not speak.The sesame seed cake with a bite in his hand fell to the ground like a small shot put, and rolled into the dust with a "boom".
