Evening came soon, and the red glow cast long shadows on the branches.
There is not a single person to be seen in this world. The two people are walking on the gravel and soil road under the shadow of the trees. Zhuo'er is walking on the right side of Shen Jie. Her peripheral vision is looking at the sunset on the right. , the clouds in the distant sky are all red, and from the clouds to the sky farther away, there are many rays of rays of light penetrating the sky. On the ground, the crops in the distant rice fields were blown by the wind and dyed golden by the sunlight.
"It's so beautiful." Zhuo'er was so mesmerized by the beauty of this scene between heaven and earth that she couldn't help but sigh.
Shen Jie followed her gaze and looked at the scenery over there without saying anything. Once upon a time, he had seen such a scenery while riding a long-distance bus to and from his hometown. I used to be alone, but there was a home far away. Every time I came home and opened the door, there was a room full of family members looking at me. My mother was wearing an apron and standing in the kitchen. It was steaming there and the TV in the living room was playing. News or sketches, my family always likes to play these festive programs.
Now, there is a woman beside him, carrying all his wealth on her back, and he can't see the road in the distance.
"Are you tired?" He thought of her walking with him for a long time, and felt a little sorry for her.
"Of course I'm tired." She turned her face and said with some complaints. The red clouds shone on the side of her face. She was wearing light-colored clothes, and her tall figure was bathed in the last afterglow.
"Let's find a place to rest here today." Shen Jie looked towards the woods. The woods were dense and he could hear the sound of crickets one after another.
Shen Jie placed the package behind him that was half as tall as him on the ground, took out a long piece of cloth from the package and spread it on the ground.
She sat on it and rubbed her long, thin legs. Then she saw the young man beside her flattening the surrounding grass and quickly putting up the long cloth with bamboo sections of ten centimeters each. .
Not long after, a tent half a meter high and two meters long and wide appeared in front of Zhuo'er.
"There were a lot of mosquitoes at night, so we ate quickly, washed ourselves, and hid in there." There was a buzz around him, and these guys were not very young, and they looked wild at first glance.
"Yes." She nodded. She remembered that in the past year, he had always been lying there watching her work. Now that he was doing it, she was a little uncomfortable with it.
She suddenly felt that God was really fair. In the past, he was a scholar who received monthly payments from the imperial court. Even if he was physically disabled, I would still take care of him. Now he does not have the protection of the imperial court, but he has the ability to take care of himself.
She thought maybe everything wasn't as bad as she thought. At least he's strong now.
The night is getting darker, and the moonlight is shining with silver light. In the jungle about ten meters away from the official road, a circle of stones surrounds a tent made of dry cloth. The wind outside is blowing harder and harder, and the wind passes through the gaps. After blowing into the tent, Zhuo'er fell into a deep sleep. This small space was so dark that almost no light could be seen.
The heavy objects in the package were pressed by Shen Jie at the four corners. Shen Jie's left hand was holding the windward side that was about to be blown by the wind. He couldn't sleep. He didn't feel much tired. He was worried about whether A wild beast is coming.
Once upon a time, no matter it was windy or rainy, or the house leaked, she would hold a basin to catch the water. He could always fall asleep in a relatively stable state.
He kept holding on with all his strength, and this state lasted for a long time. He found that if he relaxed, the entire tent would probably collapse.
Sure enough, late at night, the top was in contact with the two people's bodies, and he finally couldn't bear the fatigue and fell asleep deeply. The night wind was a bit cold.
Shen Jie felt his body being shaken slightly. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a beautiful silhouette in the dark turning to him and saying, "Mr. Shen, I'm a little worried."
"Can't you bear it anymore?" Shen Jie asked.
"I've endured this for a long time," Zhuo'er said.
"There are too many mosquitoes outside, why don't you just lean into a corner and deal with it." He heard the constant sound of mosquitoes outside, and he realized that he could not open the tent under any circumstances.
"Would you feel dirty if you do this?" Zhuo'er asked subconsciously.
"Just wash up by the river tomorrow." Shen Jie turned his head and couldn't sleep anymore.
Only a slight sound of water was heard.
He thought a lot about being trapped in this impoverished ancient world without even a basic quality of life. But he could only keep walking, and there was no way to stop.
It may seem nice to have someone walking with you on the road, but these places are not safe.
