"Aunt Li, what are you looking at?" Su Qingyu followed Li's mother's gaze and found that the lights were on in the inner house of the Li family's mansion, and there was a blurry figure inside.
"Nothing." Li's mother suddenly stood up, stretched out her hand to push Su Qingyu, and urged her to leave quickly, "It's getting dark, you should leave quickly and find a house to live in."
In the mountains, it gets dark quickly and the sky is gray, as if covered by a thin layer of smoke.
The air was filled with the damp, dull smell of impending rain, which made people feel suffocated. ..
The leaves were blown by the wind, making a rustling sound.
The old black dog in Su Qingyu's arms began to tremble. Feeling the black dog's uneasiness, Su Qingyu gently stroked the dog's back.
When Su Qingyu was asking questions just now, Shen Sinian stood quietly beside her and listened. After the conversation was over, Shen Sinian asked, "Aunt Li, where are we staying tonight?"
"It's almost time. Mrs. Zhang will be here to pick you up soon."
As soon as Li's mother finished speaking, Mrs. Zhang came over along the narrow path with slow steps, hunched back and a cane in her hand.
"My two guests, please follow me." Mrs. Zhang's silver hair was neatly combed, and her wrinkled face was not smiling. "Yesterday, you went up the mountain too late, and there was no time to clean up the two empty rooms. The environment is too bad. I am sorry for inconvenienced my two guests."
Shen Sinian shook his head and said caringly, "Grandma Zhang, don't be so polite, you had a good stay last night.
Although Qingyu and I have always lived in the city, we have always longed for rural life. Living in a rural adobe house like this is very interesting. "
Mrs. Zhang's skin was as dry as the bark of a tree. There was a strange light in her eyes. She grinned and said, "In that case, you can stay in those two rooms tonight."
Shen Sinian nodded.
He felt that a new location meant new dangers.
Compared to the unfamiliar house at the entrance of the village, the adobe house where he had lived for a night made him feel more secure.
Su Qingyu frowned and refused: "Tonight, I want to stay near the village entrance. Please, Grandma Zhang, take me down the mountain."
[Gongyang Village] Rule No. 1.
[If you stay overnight in the village, please try to stay in a house near the entrance of the village and choose a house with dogs. If you choose to stay in a house on the top of the mountain, please be sure to close the doors and windows and do not make any noise after midnight. ]
Follow the rules to be safe.
Last night, I chose to spend the night on the top of the mountain because I didn’t find the rules.
Tonight, Su Qingyu has a choice, and he will naturally choose the best solution provided by the rules.
Shen Sinian said unhappily, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"I have made it very clear."
"Haven't we discussed this before?" Shen Sinian felt that Su Qingyu was a little unreasonable. "I said I won't hurt you. I will protect you if we live on the top of the mountain."
“We discussed it, but we didn’t agree.”
They had different opinions. Why did Shen Sinian think Su Qingyu would give in
Shen Sinian's deep eyes widened slightly, he gritted his teeth and said in disbelief: "Su Qingyu, we can't separate!"
