All the things that should be taken away were packed, and the Jingyue family was greeted. The temporary house was packed and parked. It was ready to leave in two days, but it happened to encounter a heavy rain, which was very heavy. The river in the valley swelled so much that it even flooded the small bridge on the river. It was not bad for a day or two. There was no need to brave the heavy rain to travel, so they stayed again. Lei Jin originally thought he was going to leave, so he didn't go there, but he didn't expect to encounter this rain, but he could take a look at it.
Lei Jin found that there were two sets of minnows behind the door, so he motioned Xia to bring it over, one set for each person was just right, but Xia only picked a smaller set for Lei Jin to wear.
"Wear it, I'll fly you over." The rain was too heavy, and Lei Jin's body was not in good shape, so he couldn't stay in the rain for a long time. The fastest speed was of course to fly.
The rain poured down all the way, Xia protected Lei Jin under her belly, and it was soft and didn't get wet at all. When the two arrived at Jingyue's house, they saw that the flowers under the eaves of the windowsill were scattered. On the ground, the green radish shelf also fell, showing the heavy rain.
Jingyue's family were all in the side room on the west side. When they heard the movement, they opened the door to see them, and hurriedly greeted them to enter the room. Lei Jin was okay, wearing a scorpion and being guarded by Xia, except for the tip of his hair. Except for the rain, the whole body is dry and dry, but Xia is the opposite. Except for the front body, the whole body is fished out of the water. The color of the hair is deep, and the water is still dripping. Seeing this, Jing Ping took the cloth towel aside. Just wipe it up.
"Jingping, come and help me with the wooden shelf." Haochen called him from the southeast corner.
"Oh." Jing Ping quickly agreed and put the towel into Lei Jin's hand.
Lei Jin stared at the cloth in his hand, thinking that Jing Ping's courage is too small, and if he is flustered, he doesn't even look at him. What's the use for him? His arms couldn't move either.
Xia seemed to laugh, and then took the cloth towel from Lei Jin's hand. Under Lei Jin's silent resistance, she pressed him on the stool beside him, wrapped the ends of his hair and sucked him dry. He reached up to dry his hair.
"I'll take you to my room to change your clothes." Despite all his unwillingness, Jingyue stopped what he was doing and stood up with a sullen face. He had already let go of Lei Jin's affairs, but No one stipulates that you have to fall in love with this Xi Ya, right? But he also knew that the orcs of the Leopard and Tiger clans had a natural aversion to getting water on their bodies, so he would reluctantly borrow a piece of clothing from him.
Xia was rude, and followed up consciously, causing Jing Yue, who was originally disliked by him, to snort again, but accidentally caught Lei Jin's interesting gaze, and suddenly remembered the entanglement in the spring water that day. The two of them, their faces flushed red.
"Okay, let's go, change clothes." Xia put her arms around his shoulders, thinking he didn't know? He came out of the shower that day, the door was wide open, and the prey was placed at the door. It was clear at a glance who came. Jingyue is a very smart person in other matters, but he is clumsy when he encounters a female problem. Of course, this is also the commonality of most orcs. He is fine with other females, but his target is Lei Jin. He's not so generous anymore.
"Let them go, Lei Jin, come over and see if this is much better?" Haochen tilted a stone mortar in both hands, Jing Ping took a small broom, and swept out the pounded white rice together with the rice bran. into a nearby tub.
Lei Jin took a closer look, and it was similar to the stone mortar used in modern homes, but it was more than a hundred times larger, like a small water tank, more than one meter deep and as thick as two palms. stone wall.
After Jingping was swept out, Haochen poured the rice ears into it again, and Kunge was beating heavily with a log. After forty or fifty beats, the white rice gradually separated.
"It's really a good method." Lei Jin said, although it was laborious, it was much faster than rubbing with his right hand.
"This is what I came up with." Jing Ping raised his head proudly.
"Look how beautiful you are." Kun Ge took the towel handed over by Haochen and wiped his sweat. He glanced at his young female son lovingly. The past two days have always been sullen, but today he finally got better. .
"Lei Jin, do you think my method works?" Jing Ping grabbed a handful of rice from the stone mortar and blew off the rice bran.
Lei Jin smiled and nodded, Jing Ping has done a good job.
"Ah, Lei Jin also said that my method is very useful." Jing Ping smiled and clenched his fist to encourage himself.
"I thought of it when I was making medicine. The stone mortar was dug up by my brother on the mountain. There are many strange things near our temple."
Hearing the temple, Lei Jin's thoughts moved. Roger once said that there is a temple of unknown origin in each tribe. And Roger's picture is extended from the stone pillars around the temple.
"Are you also erecting stone pillars behind the temple?" Lei Jin just asked casually.
"Yeah, we have to erect a sacred pillar every reincarnation year, just behind the temple, and we have to carve patterns." Jing Ping didn't know why Lei Jin asked such a question, but he didn't think much about it. Answer truthfully.
"What kind of pattern?" Lei Jin asked, does it have anything to do with the way home?
"I can't tell." Jing Ping frowned. Although he had seen those patterns, he really couldn't tell what they were.
"Ah. I remembered, I have this." Jing Ping's eyes lit up, he unbuttoned his collar, a black leather rope was tied around his neck, and a fan-shaped smooth black stone with lines on it was attached to the bottom. densely intertwined.
Lei Jin's expression changed when he saw the stone, and then he said, "Can you show it to me?"
Jing Ping took it down and handed it to him. It looked like an ordinary stone, but in the palm of his hand it exuded a steady stream of warmth.
He finally remembered why he felt familiar when he saw those patterns behind the Leopard Clan Temple, because once when he and Liu Si were together, someone once gave him such a stone, which was a young lady under Liu Si. , Lei Jin can't remember, after all, they all came out to hang out, and sometimes they do a little errand, who still remembers it every day, but the woman said that she was going to go back to her hometown to get married soon, in order to thank Lei Jin for saving her Once, be sure to give him the jade passed down by his grandmother.
Afterwards, Liu Si sneered and said, "What kind of jade, isn't it just a broken stone?" Dare to take it out to bluff? When the sister has not seen the world ah?
Lei Jin saw that the style of this thing was very simple and mysterious, and the beginning was gentle, so he couldn't help but glance at it, but he never cared about these little things, and he didn't take them too seriously, so he threw them aside. .
But where did he leave it? Lei Jin frowned and fell into deep thought. Damn it, he remembered that that night he and Liu Si returned to his residence. After entering the door, they both went into the bathroom. As for what he was doing inside, it was self-evident. I haven't thought about that thing, I think it must have been left in a corner of the bathroom.
Roger said that the key to coming home lies in these graphics, so is he coming because of this, or directly, because of that jade?
But his piece was round, and the piece in Jing Ping's hand seemed to be a part of that piece.
"Lei Jin, what's wrong with you?" Jing Ping asked when Lei Jin looked bad.
"Where did your jade come from?" Lei Jin exhaled in his heart, calmed down, and asked with a calm face.
"This is from Dad. The pattern on this is exactly the same as the one on the pillar, isn't it? Dad." Jingping turned back and asked Kunge.
Kunge nodded and said, "Well, this is passed down from generation to generation in the tribe, but although this jade stone looks a few years old, it is not an important object, so I will wear it for Jingping to play with."
"Lei Jin, if you like it, give it to you." Jing Ping said generously when he saw that Lei Jin seemed to like it very much.
"Lend me for a while, and I'll give it back to you later." Lei Jin read it over and over several times, but couldn't see any way, so he wanted to take it back to Roger to have a look. Roger's cleverness might know of.
"It doesn't matter, you can take it and use it." Jing Ping waved his hand indifferently. Although he liked this jade, he would still be willing to give it to Lei Jin.
"What are you talking about?" Xia came in wearing a shack with a large bundle of rice in her arms. Just after changing her clothes, Jingyue pulled him over with rice from the shed at the back, which wasted time. .
Lei Jin waited for him to put the things down before spreading out his palms and whispering slightly excitedly: "Xiya, I used to have such a piece of jade, Roger said that the way back is related to the pattern on the stone pillar, and this piece of jade is another piece of jade. It's the same as the pattern on the pillars of the Tiger Temple, I thought of taking it back to Roger to see, maybe I can go back this time."
The more Lei Jin thought about this possibility, the more he finally saw the hope of going back for the first time in a long time.
Xia was struck by lightning, she didn't react for a while, her eyes gradually sank as Lei Jin spoke excitedly.
In the evening, the rain still did not decrease, so Haochen left the two of them to stay. In the past two days, there was a lot of rice pounded out. In the evening, Jingping steamed a pot of rice according to the method taught by Lei Jin. After eating an extra bowl of rice, Xiya felt all kinds of conflicts in her heart. After feeding Lei Jin, she hurriedly picked up a bowl. Although it was the first time to eat, she couldn't taste it.
There are three rooms in the north of Jingyue's house. The leftmost room is the main room, facing the gate, the left two rooms, the innermost one is for Haochen and Kunge, and the two rooms in the east belong to Jingyue and Jingping. , the west side is for storing some sundries, and the south side is close to the outer wall and there is a small kitchen. Today, the room where Xi Ya and Lei Jin live is next to Hao Chen, because Xi Ya has long announced that the two have held a meeting. The partner of the ceremony, Haochen naturally arranged the two in the same room.
The two had already washed up and went to bed. The wind and rain hit the wooden windows, making a noise.
Xi Ya hugged Lei Jin from behind with her right hand, and slipped her left hand into his clothes.
Lei Jin took a deep breath, considered the person next door, and whispered, "What are you doing? Xi Ya..."
"Since you can accept Mo Ya, why can't you accept me?" Xi Ya licked his earlobe and asked, saying that he would wait, but on the premise that Lei Jin thought about how to go back every day, how could he wait at ease?
The man was too erratic to grasp, and only being held in his arms like this gave him a sense of reality.
At this time, at the seaside not far from the tiger tribe, in the dark night, the wind and rain were more urgent, and black waves were faintly rolling on the sea. All the birds returned to their nests, and only a cave on the shore was faintly glowing. Mo Ya put away the unfinished barbecue and hung it on the wall of the cave.
"Hey, I said, do you really want to leave?" Berg followed Mo Ya back and forth.
"En." Mo Ya's expression remained unchanged, she agreed, and came in with a clay pot at the entrance of the cave, which was already full of rainwater. He washed his face.
"Am I being bad to you? Why are you leaving?" Seeing that persuasion was useless, Moya made up her mind, and Berg's patience was about to run out.
"I'm not a person here, of course I want to go back to my tribe." Mo Ya looked at him and wondered how he would have such an idea.
"If you stay, I will always be with you." Berg's always joking and cynical face rarely showed seriousness.
"I already have a partner." He understood Berg's thoughts, but it was impossible.
"But he's sleeping with your elder brother." Don't think that no one knows, since Mo Ya can hear those movements, how can he not hear them.
"He was originally our partner." Mo Ya glanced at him indifferently and spoke indifferently, emphasizing us.
"Can you really accept it in your heart? If so, why did you run away?" Berg pointed out the truth without mercy.
"I didn't want to escape, I just left them the space they should have." Mo Ya turned her back to him and spread the hay in the cave.
"You still don't stay, even if you will be my only partner?" Berger confirmed word by word with a strange and unpredictable expression.
