After being dedicated to the villain

On the fourth day, it rained suddenly in the mountains.

The rain in summer always comes very fast, pouring down with a splash, and the gloomy clouds are accompanied by the frightening lightning and thunder, as if to destroy the whole world.

Song Sijin and Duan Lingyao narrowly found a cave that sheltered from the wind and rain. When they got in, they were already soaked from top to bottom.

The cave is very shallow. It is said to be a cave, but in fact it is more like a small nest that was accidentally built by a huge boulder. The two of them huddled in it, and they dared not straighten their legs.

Even if they're soaking wet.

Rumbling--

The dazzling lightning was followed by deafening thunder. Song Sijin covered his ears and closed his eyes, not knowing when the rain would pass.The temperature dropped as soon as it rained, and the two of them were drenched, so even in summer it was freezing cold.

But fortunately, they are not alone, cuddling tightly together, even though the barren mountains are cold and windy and rainy, there is always a place that is hot.

Duan Lingyao suddenly said something in Song Sijin's ear.

There was a burst of thunder, Song Sijin didn't hear clearly, turned to look at him: "What did you say?"

Huge lightning flashed across the sky. In the extremely bright light, Song Sijin saw Duan Lingyao squinting his eyes and laughing: "It seems that we are the only ones in this world!"

What's so fun about it?There is not even a warm house. If this is the case, it is too miserable.

But Duan Lingyao was very happy, the downcast little father-in-law, who looked like a beggar, had hairpins made of branches in his hair, his wet hair from the rain was sticking to his face, his eyes were brighter in the darkness.

It was obviously miserable, but Song Sijin saw him smiling so happily, so he couldn't help but smirked for a while.

There's no way, it's already so miserable anyway.

In the boundless mountains and forests, the torrential rain that seemed to destroy the world, and the endless darkness, the two people just smiled at each other inexplicably.

But Duan Lingyao watched him smile, but gradually stopped smiling, not completely. The corners of his lips were slightly hooked, and there was a kind of embarrassing but wonderful emotion slowly flowing in the air. He looked at Song Sijin seriously, curly The eyelashes fluttered slowly, and the temperature between the tight arms and the small piece of flesh next to the legs was slowly rising, and it was a little hot.

Unknowingly, Song Sijin also quieted down. For some reason, he was a little nervous.

Duan Lingyao's eyes blinked and slowly closed, his face moved closer to Song Sijin, so close that Song Sijin could clearly see the blush on his cheeks, then pouted slightly.

How could Song Sijin, who had kissed him countless times before, not know what he wanted to do, but he forgot everything. When he was happy with someone, he could pursue flattery and even ask for kisses without any scruples. Song Sijin But not.

But in this small world isolated by the rain curtain, the only warmth comes from the people around him, so Song Sijin couldn't bear to push him away directly.

Then he covered his mouth with his hand, and said with some embarrassment: "Don't do this, you will regret it when you think about it."

The kiss was unsuccessful, Duan Lingyao was a little disappointed, he sighed in Song Sijin's palm, and Song Sijin withdrew his hand again after sighing.

Seeing that he was uncomfortable, Duan Lingyao smiled again: "Why?"

"Because you love face very much, you will definitely become angry with embarrassment, and then you will blame me for seducing you again."

Duan Lingyao was speechless.

The two were quiet for a while, and they did not leave each other. The warmth was hard-won, and no one was willing to abandon it.

The atmosphere of nature is too terrifying, and it is extremely reassuring to be accompanied by someone. Duan Lingyao thought for a long time, and Song Sijin was about to fall asleep. He leaned on his shoulder and whispered: "No, I like it so much. you."

-

After the heavy rain, the hot summer returned. It was quite cool in the mountains, but the further you walked along the river, the more you could find that the temperature was slowly rising.

The mountains became more and more gentle, the trees began to thin out, and the road conditions were easier than before. This all meant that they were about to leave the mountains and return to the people!

Song Sijin was very excited, but Duan Lingyao was visibly depressed.

When he found the path that pedestrians came out of, Duan Lingyao sat down on the tree stump and refused to walk again: "My feet are tired and I can't walk anymore."

With his head down, he fingered a small piece of grass on the ground. There were tiny blue and white flowers the size of sesame seeds blooming on the grass. It was a kind of inconspicuous weed that can be seen everywhere.

Song Sijin sat next to him, with the shade of the tree covering his head, as if he was taking a rest in the shade.

He didn't force him, thought for a while, and said, "You have a lot of beautiful big horses at home. When you go back, you can ride them around."

Duan Lingyao remained silent.

Song Sijin said again: "Your family has a lot of cooks who can cook delicious meals. In the future, you don't have to pick fish by yourself."

Duan Lingyao remained silent.

Song Sijin picked out a few more attractive benefits, but no matter which one, it seems that Duan Lingyao has lost its appeal.Could it be that people have amnesia, and even their interests and hobbies have changed?Song Sijin was a little distressed.

He couldn't help looking at him with his chin in doubt, seeing the resistance written on Duan Lingyao's ashen face: "Is it really that you don't want to go out?"

"What's the good of going out? Didn't Brother Jin say that someone is chasing us? What if we meet them again?"

"Well... what you said makes sense, but you can't give up eating because of choking."

Song Sijin's hands and feet began to feel weak after not eating salt for several days. Even though Duan Lingyao went hunting very hard, he didn't have proper kitchen utensils and seasonings. not go down.

And their clothes, scraped by branches and grass leaves, are almost like strips of cloth. After wearing them for a few days, they might not be as good as primitive people.

Moreover, the two of them were lucky enough not to get sick. If this continues, their bodies will be too weak to bear it. After a rain, they may die due to wind and cold without medicine.

He thought, Duan Lingyao must understand all these principles, he is so smart, it is impossible not to understand.

But Duan Lingyao still didn't want to return to the human world, he buried his head in his knees, his voice was pale and weak: "I'm so tired."

Song Sijin thought for a while, then took out an oiled paper bag from his arms, and opened it carefully, revealing the last piece of caramel that was half-melted and deformed due to the heat, the size of a thumb belly.

He didn't say anything, he held the piece of candy with his fingertips, bent down from Duan Lingyao's leg, and stuffed the candy into his mouth.

Duan Lingyao tasted the taste slowly with sugar in his mouth. The peaches were sour, the grilled fish was bitter, and even the pheasant was dry and fishy, ​​but Song Sijin would give him a little sweetness.

After the break, Song Sijin pulled Duan Lingyao up, and he walked in front of him and said, "I'll lead you so you won't be tired."

This time Duan Lingyao didn't speak because he was eating candy. He hurried forward and took Song Sijin's hand, looked at the back of his head, walked while watching.

-

When it was getting dark, the two finally found traces of living people. It was a slightly barren small village. Most of the houses were made of thatch and earth and stones. There were only a few smoke rising from the kitchen. It was at the foot of the mountain. .

But Wangshan ran dead horses, Wangcun ran dead people, and when Song Sijin and Duan Lingyao entered the village trembling with tired legs, it was completely dark.

For ordinary farmers, not every household is willing to light oil lamps. Most of the time they follow the law of sunrise and daily routine.

So at a glance, the whole village is dark.

Fortunately, the two of them were lucky, and found that a family was not asleep.

"Naughty, dare to take Daya to the water's edge, you bastard, you are getting more and more courageous, I will let you go to the water's edge!"

The trembling old man scolded and whipped his grandson with the sole of his shoe.

The twelve-thirteen-and-a-half-year-old boy complained while crying: "They bullied Da Ya first, and I won the water, so they promised me not to bully Da Ya!"

"You still dare to make excuses, and you don't even think about what happened to you, what will I do with Da Ya?"

The other girl, who had seen her age, hid aside and burst into tears.

Song Sijin and Duan Lingyao stood outside the fence, listening to the family quarrel, embarrassed and didn't know whether to knock on the door.

Fortunately, the boy's eyes were sharp, and he saw two people outside the fence at once, and he quickly got up: "Grandpa, someone is coming!"

The gray-haired old man ignored him, tremblingly, he continued chasing and whipping people: "How dare you lie to me!"

"I'm not lying, someone really came!"

For the sake of his own butt, the boy jumped up and down and ran to the yard and asked, "Hey, what are you two doing, are you standing there in the middle of the night trying to steal a chicken?!"

Song Sijin quickly waved his hands: "No, we just want to find out, where is this place?"

The old man followed his grandson to the yard, and when he got closer, he realized that there were two figures outside the yard. He first looked alert, and asked loudly who it was, but when he got closer and saw clearly, he couldn't help showing some pity: "Oh, Were the two of you kidnapped?"

There was indeed this factor, Song Sijin nodded.

The old man waved away his grandson who was approaching, and said, "This is Old Yushu Village, what are your plans?"

Song Sijin didn't know where Old Yushu Village was at all, and he didn't know which county the old man was from, and he still didn't know how to get to Yaojing.

"If you don't know, you can ask the shopkeeper who lives in the village. He always goes to the city to buy goods, so he must know the way."

"Old man, can you let us stay for a night tonight?"

"Here...there are many vacant houses in the village, why don't you find a place to make do for the night, our house is small and we can't sleep well."

The old man's family was not young and strong, and he was very wary of two strange men who appeared in the middle of the night. Although he sympathized with them for being banditted, he did not dare to let them in easily.

Although this fence does not look like it can prevent thieves.

Song Sijin didn't just want a place to sleep, he and Duan Lingyao lacked food and clothes, so they really wanted to relax, so they dug out the broken silver in their purse and said, "We will pay for it."

The old man couldn't say the words of refusal immediately, he stared at the silver in Song Sijin's palm and hesitated.

Song Sijin begged softly: "Just give us some food and two old clothes. Old man, we are all decent people and have absolutely no bad intentions. Look at his clothes, although they are tattered, but The fabrics are all good materials, his family is rich, and he will definitely repay you in the future."

Since entering the village, Duan Lingyao has been silent, and looks a bit like Song Sijin before.

The old man took a closer look under the moonlight, and found that this dull young man was indeed thin-skinned and tender-skinned, and he was either rich or noble at first glance.The young man who is a little taller also has a quiet and delicate appearance, with such a gentle temper, he should not be a bad person.

After hesitating again and again, the old man still told them to enter the door.

He claimed to be surnamed Zhang, and there were only one granddaughter and one grandson in his family. The granddaughter was named Daya, and the grandson was named Ergang.

Da Ya and Er Gang are watching curiously around them, this remote mountain village rarely has outsiders coming in, this time two people came here at once, and they still have to live in the house, but they are very surprised.

Song Sijin smiled at them, looked away from Da Ya and paused for a moment, before he entered the door, he could see that Da Ya was a little bit wrong, as if he was a silly child just like himself before.

Facing the stranger's look back, Da Ya was a little scared and backed away, but Er Gang stood in front of her, staring at Song Sijin arrogantly.

Song Sijin smiled friendly, and found that he was not as imposing as a child, so he was somewhat frustrated.

The old house had only two bedrooms, and there was an earth kang. Uncle Zhang gave one of them to Song Sijin and Duan Lingyao, and the three of them squeezed into the other.

Song Sijin and Duan Lingyao's stomachs started to growl again. In order to get down quickly, they didn't waste time hunting at night, so they were hungry all the time.

"Ergang, go and heat up the pancakes, cook some rice, and remember to lay two eggs."

Song Sijin hurriedly took out the money to give to the old man, but the old man stood by the window, squinting his eyes to pick and choose: "There are too many, you don't need it, these are enough."

Country people usually trade with copper plates, and the old man carefully picked out the smallest piece of silver from Song Sijin's palm, feeling extremely satisfied.

"I don't know how long I will trouble you, but take these as well, and treat them as money for clothes."

Thinking of the travel expenses needed to go back to Beijing, Song Sijin didn't give it all to others. He kept half of it for himself, and gave the rest to Uncle Zhang forcefully.

He could see that the life of this family was difficult, and he couldn't help but sympathize with her, so he wanted to help out. Besides, for ordinary people, clothes are also very valuable items, and it is common for an old garment to be sewn and mended for two generations. For some things, Song Sijin and Duan Lingyao always gave more money if they wanted to change into clothes they could wear.

After receiving the money, Uncle Zhang smiled more and more, his eyes could not see clearly at night, and he wanted to help them rummage through the boxes to find clothes and quilts.

"This is my son's old clothes, you two can make do with it."

Although they are already relatively intact two sets of clothes in the old clothes, they are still made of coarse fabric with patches, and the trouser legs are still a bit short.

Coincidentally, Duan Lingyao is a little shorter than Song Sijin, so it doesn't feel so cramped to wear.

After changing their clothes, Er Gang and Da Ya came with a hot meal, two pancakes, two large gourds of vegetable soup, a small plate of pickled vegetables, and two boiled eggs.

The vegetable soup is steaming hot, and the fresh and tender vegetables are not mushy, and it looks like they are freshly made.

In order to let the two guests have a good meal, Uncle Zhang even lit the oil lamp which he would not bear to light at ordinary times.

Uncle Zhang drove his grandson and granddaughter to the east room, and said with a smile: "There is nothing good at home, let's put it down first, and ask Er Gang to buy some meat at Orion's house tomorrow."

"Very good, thank you."

"Then you guys eat first, and put the bowl here when you're done."

"okay."

The door of the bedroom in the east room was closed, and Song Sijin took Duan Lingyao to sit down to eat. After a long absence, he ate a normal-tasting meal, which almost caused him to shed two lines of tears.

The pancakes are very rough and choke your throat if you eat them dry, but it is just right to soak them in vegetable soup.Farmers may not be able to afford meat on weekdays, and it is difficult to afford white rice and fine noodles, but they will never be short of vegetables in summer, so the vegetable soup is very solid, and there are more vegetables than soup.

There was also the plate of salty pickles. Song Sijin ate a few mouthfuls of pancakes and vegetable soup before he felt alive again. Sometimes the taste of food is so simple, a little salty makes people extremely satisfied.

He quickly ate half full, and found that Duan Lingyao had barely touched the pickles. When he looked up, he saw Duan Lingyao frowning and struggling to chew the pancakes.

He still didn't look very happy, even if he had a hot meal, he was still not satisfied.

Is it because it doesn't taste good?

Song Sijin comforted: "Are you not used to eating? If you persist, you will be able to eat delicious food when you get home."

"No, actually these are pretty good too." Duan Lingyao smiled with difficulty, and accidentally hit his chest with a pancake choking.

Song Sijin hurriedly scooped up a spoonful of soup for him and put it to his mouth: "Soak the pancakes in soup until they soften before eating, so you won't choke on them."

Duan Lingyao responded in a low voice.

After eating and resting, the two of them were too tired, so they hurriedly rinsed their mouths and lay down on the bed.

The old quilt was pressed tightly, with a rotten smell, Duan Lingyao didn't want to cover it, and Song Sijin didn't want to touch it, so he slept with his clothes on.

The kang is quite spacious, and it is not a problem for three or four people to sleep sideways, but when lying down, Duan Lingyao is next to Song Sijin.

It didn't rain tonight, and it was still a bit stuffy, and it was still hot with the windows open.

Song Sijin wanted to push him away, but he grabbed Song Sijin's sleeve tightly: "Brother Jin, I'm afraid."

Pushing his hand down, Song Sijin asked, "What are you afraid of?"

Duan Lingyao said: "I'm afraid that there are many bad people outside, Brother Jin, aren't you afraid?"

"Actually, I'm also afraid." Song Sijin was the least courageous, how could he not be afraid, but no matter how afraid he was, he still wanted to go out.

"Or, let's just stay here and find an empty house to live in."

Song Sijin was very helpless: "But I am more afraid of other things. What about you, aren't you afraid that your family will worry?"

Duan Lingyao looked indifferent: "I don't even remember them."

Song Sijin was speechless this time.

Since it was not certain when he would be able to leave, Song Sijin didn't persuade him any more. Maybe Duan Lingyao figured it out after a long hard life.

But the facts have proved that Duan Lingyao, who is usually a delicate and domineering young master, is no less stubborn than Song Sijin, a stubborn half-fool.

At dawn the next day, he chose carefully and chose an empty house next to Uncle Zhang's house to live in.One earthen wall of the house is half collapsed, and the roof is covered with thatch, but there are three other rooms that are good.

Two of the bedrooms have stone base walls, which look much stronger than other houses.

Duan Lingyao hired Da Ya to clean up with Er Gang, but Song Sijin couldn't hold him back, so he could only ask the shopkeeper for news.

As a result, after asking, I found out that the shopkeeper had gone out and would not be back until the day after tomorrow at the earliest.

But in this half-empty Dayushu Village, there are only a dozen families left, most of them are old people and young people, desolate and quiet.

After Song Sijin inquired around, he found out that Dayelm Village is in a place called Luoxi County, but everyone still doesn't know exactly where it is in Yaojing.

By the time Song Sijin returned to Duan Lingyao's carefully selected "home", three teenagers, big and small, had already cleaned the dust from the house.

Duan Lingyao instructed Er Gang and Da Ya to pull weeds in the yard, and said to Song Sijin happily, "How about it, isn't it good to clean it up?"

Song Sijin was silent for a long while: "Lingyao, if we stay here all the time, we will only be able to get in and out, and the money will soon be exhausted. How can you hire someone to help you do the work?"

Duan Lingyao: "..."

The old house is not only dilapidated and grassy, ​​but also easily becomes a nest of snakes and insects. After cleaning the surface, it is still uninhabitable. At night, Duan Lingyao has to continue to squeeze into Uncle Zhang's house in despair.

But he didn't give up easily. During the day when Song Sijin was playing with Da Ya, Duan Lingyao and Er Gang disappeared without paying attention.

It wasn't until evening that the two dirty men came back from outside.

As soon as Duan Lingyao ran back, he yelled to take a bath. Song Sijin looked at his muddy body in surprise, and didn't understand how Duan Lingyao, who always loves to be clean, would make himself like this after going down the mountain.

"What did you do?"

Resting at night, Song Sijin was really curious and couldn't help poking Duan Lingyao's arm and asked him, "I haven't seen you during the day."

Duan Lingyao said with a smile: "If you want to know, then just give me a kiss and I'll tell you."

Song Sijin looked at him speechlessly: "Forget it, I'd better not ask."

"Oh, don't, why don't you ask again!" This time, Duan Lingyao was not forgiving, he hugged Song Sijin's arm and asked him to ask himself.

"Okay, then tell me, what did you do during the day?"

"I'm going to learn how to grow land and vegetables from Er Gang!" Duan Lingyao said triumphantly, "It's not too difficult, I will definitely be able to support brother Jin in the future."

Song Sijin: "Are you sure?"

Duan Lingyao said boldly: "Of course I'm sure, I'll learn it right away!"

Song Sijin was funny and angry, and there was still some indescribable subtle feeling in his heart, sour and soft, which became more and more intense in Duan Lingyao's expectant eyes.

"That's because you're just learning. Farming is really tiring. You have to keep working a large area. Sometimes the conditions are bad, and the food you grow is not enough for one person to eat."

Duan Lingyao has only been studying with a half-grown child for a day, so he doesn't know that there are so many details, but he is not discouraged: "I can still hunt and catch fish. In short, I can definitely support brother Jin."

He was so swearing, Song Sijin knew that his confidence could not be easily broken, so he buried his face in his elbows: "Okay, okay, you can afford it."

Duan Lingyao opened his eyes and looked at the beam above his head, the more he thought about it, the happier he became, and then, taking advantage of Song Sijin's unpreparedness, he kissed the side of Song Sijin's face.

Song Sijin: "Hey you!"

Duan Lingyao smashed and smashed his mouth: "My arms are sore, so I can't be a reward."

Song Sijin: "Forget it, but not next time."

Duan Lingyao said perfunctorily, "Hmm."

-

In the remote Dayushu Village, Song Sijin and Duan Lingyao lived a few days of easy life.

Especially Duan Lingyao, maybe Uncle Zhang's family was different from what he had been in contact with before, so after getting familiar with it, he no longer resisted.He learned to farm and harvest wheat from Ergang, and then learned to feed chickens and pick eggs from Ergang.

He also made a flowerpot out of a broken clay pot he picked up from nowhere, and carefully planted the first pumpkin seed he planted by himself. He held it in front of Song Sijin with great treasure and said, "The first pumpkin seed that will grow in the future Save the pumpkin for brother Jin to eat."

Song Sijin looked at the broken clay pot and couldn't say no to it, so he could only nod his head: "Okay, then remember to catch bugs well."

Duan Lingyao was shocked: "Catch bugs?"

Song Sijin: "Didn't Ergang tell you that in this world, all fruits and vegetables will be eaten by bugs, and the bugs must be killed to make them grow well."

Duan Lingyao: "I think there should be a division of labor and cooperation in growing vegetables. For example, I carry water and loosen the soil, and my brother catches insects."

Song Sijin curled the corner of his mouth, and couldn't bear to tell him that he needed to fertilize to grow vegetables, and the raw materials of farmyard manure... Forget it, Duan Lingyao knew, maybe he couldn't even eat.

In addition, Song Sijin will patiently play with Da Ya, and Duan Lingyao will teach Er Gang boxing and kicking.

There are a few half-grown brats in the village who always play tricks on Da Ya and Er Gang. Duan Lingyao leads Da Ya, Er Gang and Song Sijin to knock them down together.

After getting along for a few days, the four of them seemed to have become good friends.

But the day of parting will always come, no one thought that before the shopkeeper came back, the person looking for Duan Lingyao would enter the village first.

Duan Lingyao, Song Sijin and Ergang were playing with slingshots in the woods outside the village that day, and any birds they shot could be taken home for extra meals. The eldest girl didn't come because Uncle Zhang was afraid of accidents with the child and didn't ask her to go to some dangerous places go.

In the end, he was talking and laughing, but Da Ya ran over in a hurry and cried loudly: "Brother Song and Xiao Duan, don't go home, play more with Da Ya!"

Duan Lingyao was stunned for a moment, and said, "Don't cry, tell me clearly, what's going on?"

Da Ya couldn't explain clearly, and the three of them understood after tossing and turning. Several people came to the village to ask if Duan Lingyao and Song Sijin had passed by.

Song Sijin couldn't help being happy when he heard it, and was about to run back to the village to watch, but was stopped by Duan Lingyao.

"Wait a minute, what if the person who comes is not the one who takes us home, but the person from Yan Xuehui?"

Song Sijin felt that it made sense when he heard it, and he was a little scared: "Then what to do, everyone in the village knows that we live in Uncle Zhang's house."

Duan Lingyao narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, then quickly said: "Let's observe quietly first, and make sure who the other party is before making a decision."

The author says:

Ahhh I'm back, after thinking about it, some people still like this story, so I'll write it according to my original idea!
