The soldiers who guarded the city also became lazy, hiding in the shadow of the city wall, and they didn't even look at the people who went out of the city.

The ox cart swayed out of the city gate. In the sun, the boy leaned against the board on the edge of the carriage, supported the cart with one hand and put it gently on his chest with the other.

In the breeze, a few strands of hair brushed his cheek, and the light golden light fell on the young man's eyelashes, leaving a little trace. For a moment, his amber pupils even looked completely transparent.

The boy squinted slightly, and the girl's gentle voice sounded in his ear: "are you tired?"

In fact, his eyes hurt a little when he was stabbed by the sunshine, but maybe her voice is too soft, or maybe the warm sunshine is too similar to the memory. Suddenly, Liu Jin remembered the scene when her mother was still young.

Her hands were as warm as the sunshine of the day. He was reading by her bed, while she was lying on the bed, looking at him quietly and gently.

"Jin'er, are you tired?"

"Well..."

He answered softly and closed his eyes.

"Then take a rest. I'll call you when you arrive." As if afraid to wake him up, her voice is getting lighter and lighter.

A little bit of tiredness began to rise in him.

The young man leaned against the edge of the car, breathing gradually lighter, until he fell into sleep, and his hand was always on his chest, as if to protect something.

Tang Xiaotang didn't make any more noise. She looked at the boy's relaxed face and sighed in her heart.

After all, how can I get up so early and not be tired?

And for the young man, he has to do a lot of things every day, so that he can do nothing. The leisure time that he can completely relax is only the time when he returns from the bullock cart.

She quietly close to his body, invisible mental force into the juvenile consciousness, so that he can sleep more comfortable.

The sun was warm and sleepy, and the other two had been sleeping on the floor of the car.

Only the old ox wagged his tail and continued to move on.

On the narrow path, only a line of footprints were left, spreading to the distance.

As the sun was setting, they finally returned to the village.

Tang Xiaotang regained her strength. Before she could call, the boy had already woken up by himself. The old cow was standing in front of the big tree at the entrance of the village, chewing the grass on the ground leisurely.

Two people in the back of the car are still sleeping. Liu Jin wakes them up. After they say goodbye, they go their separate ways.

Liu Daniu originally wanted to help him carry things back, but Liu Jin refused his kindness.

First of all, he had worked hard all the way, and he could still carry it back; Secondly, there is really nothing to entertain people at home, even hot water. If you ask him to help, what kind of hospitality will he offer?

What's more, the girl said that it would happen today... Although I don't know whether it is true or not, it's safe to let others know.

The old house where Liu Jin lives is getting closer and closer. The gloom on the young man rises a little bit. Everyone falls into silence, and no one speaks.

Tang Xiaotang saw the map and knew that it had happened as she had expected. The reason why she didn't say it immediately was to let him see the truth with his own eyes, except that it didn't arouse the boy's suspicion.

Only in this way can he fully understand the reality. Although it's a little cruel, it's better than being trapped in the end.

Liu Jin went closer, he saw his open door.

It was no different from when he left. The boy's mood was relieved, but he still didn't want to believe the girl's words.

Although he knows that Aunt San may be utilitarian, she should not do such a thing

Thinking of this, he walked slowly into the courtyard.

The door of the kitchen was still locked, which was no different from that before he left. The door of the main room was also closed. Liu Jin went over with rice and was about to open the door when he saw a footprint on the ground in front of the door.

It was a very shallow clay seal, which was printed on the board he placed at the door. If you don't look carefully, you can't see it at all. Maybe its owner didn't notice it at all.

Liu Jin is a little bit addicted to cleanliness, because it is placed at the door, so he will wash the Board regularly with water, never let it get muddy.

And the size of this footprint is different from his foot. It can't be left by him.

The boy lowered his head slightly, his breath became low for a moment, standing at the door, just staring at the footprint, and didn't move for a long time.Tang Xiaotang can't bear the depression on him. Just as she was about to pacify the teenager, he suddenly reached out and pushed open the door.

"Squeak..."

The old wooden door made a hoarse sound, which was particularly clear in the silent courtyard. With the dark sky, the young man clearly saw the changed scene in the room.

The bed was turned upside down, the wooden box at the end of the bed was wide open, all the paper left on the table yesterday was gone, and the half bowl of ink he put on the windowsill was knocked over, and the ink was flowing everywhere.

The whole room was like a burglar. It was two places before he left.

Shock, disappointment, anger... All the emotions emerged from the bottom of his heart like a raging tide, but only for a short moment, the young man's eyes became indifferent again. He calmly walked into the room, first went to the table and looked at the residual ink on the table.

The ink had dried out and completely penetrated into the table, leaving traces that could not be removed unless the piece of wood was completely dug out.

He calmly put his burden on the clean place on the table, and then turned out of the door.

Open the door of the kitchen, pour the rice into the VAT, and then bring a bucket of water. The boy wiped the wooden table again little by little. The thin bedding on the bed was torn down by him and thrown to the ground. He wiped the whole bed, the wooden box and the ground with water.

During this period, the boy didn't say a word, and Tang Xiaotang didn't bother him, so he watched him wash the whole room again.

Then the boy stood in the room all the time, watching the light fade from the room, leaving only the cold darkness.

His face was also hidden in the dark, and his thin figure was almost integrated with the night.

Finally, it was not until it was completely dark that the boy's mood completely calmed down. He threw the bedding into the barrel and mentioned it outside.

"Are you... OK?"

The girl's subtle voice came from her arms. Standing in a dark room, the boy who finally recovered his cool and rational mind remembered that she was still installed by him.

He immediately stood up and took her out of her clothes.
